Wang Chao walked out of the military compound step by step. The sun was shining brightly outside, and sparrows were jumping around on the branches. He looked at the dazzling sunlight, and then he realized that three or four hours had passed since he had just listened to Mr. Li playing a suona.

"The essence of the upper level of Ming Jin, which moves without intention and naturally flourishes, is 'loosening the tendons and bones, and attacking the skin and fur'. Tighten outside and loosen inside, but this is only what needs to be done physically, not the inner strength and hidden skills."
"The inner three-in-one of the hidden power is related to the heart and mind. Although I knew before that when a person's heart is anxious, the whole body sweats, which is much greater than the power generated by physical exercise. This is the power of the heart and mind, but how to use this power in actual combat, fully exert the power of the heart and mind, and use it freely, is an unbridgeable gap. This gap is also the specific meaning of what Senior Cheng Tinghua said, 'You must be anxious in your hands when hitting people.'"
Wang Chao thought in his heart: "Once this gap is crossed, martial arts becomes Taoist art, and you will truly get the essence of national martial arts."
He recalled what he felt and heard during this day and night. Although he was not able to have a specific discussion with Mr. Li, and did not really fight with this old Red Army soldier who had been on the battlefield and experienced hundreds of battles, and gained actual combat experience, he still felt that the trip was worthwhile.
Because the answers to all the questions he had been thinking about were confirmed and explained in this day and night.
"The two old men had fought on the battlefield and had strong wills. However, facing the corruption of their descendants, their ideals were shattered, but they showed a pure heart like a child..."
"The heart is as pure as a child, and the will is as strong as steel... This is the mystery of the inner three combinations. Boxing is close to the mystery of life. If you don't understand life, you can't really understand the inner strength. If the heart is not pure and the mind is not strong, you can't use the inner strength. Heart... mind... heart and mind... heart and mind are six combinations. No wonder the predecessor of Xingyiquan is called Xinyi Liuhe boxing. So that's it."
"I have been practicing hard day and night for the past two years, but my progress in boxing has been getting slower and slower. It turns out that it is because of my impure heart. I have been exposed to the colorful life and have been affected unconsciously. If I continue like this, I will eventually degenerate and will never be able to comprehend a higher level in my life. It seems that I need to calm down, purify my mind, and exercise my will." Wang Chao thought of the past year when he started his own company, came into contact with upper-class people, and was tempted by wealth, status and power. His heart and mind were no longer as pure and clear as when he was with Tang Zichen. He was immersed in it. This was undoubtedly a chronic poison for him who had not yet achieved great martial arts. Fortunately, after this day and night, he shared the touching feelings of the older generation. The last song of Mr. Li not only turned his lifelong boxing skills into movement and expressed them in his body shape, but more importantly, it blew away the fog that slowly enveloped his heart. He turned his moved heart and mind into the pursuit of martial arts, and finally made him clear the dark clouds in his heart and see the bright moon hanging above. At this time, he had a deep understanding of the mysterious coordination of the softness, movement and stillness of his body's muscles, bones and fur, the external three-in-one coordination, and the clarity and firmness of the internal three-in-one heart and mind.
After two years of boxing training, he woke up in one day, broke through the threshold and entered the hall.
However, understanding is understanding, and it takes a lot of training to master the skills.
Wang Chao's understanding just now only found a way to the peak, not really climbed up.
The pure heart like a child and the strong will like steel on the road of pursuing boxing cannot be trained overnight.
"Hey, the reason why Sister Chen didn't explain this to me at the beginning was because I had just started and had not reached this threshold. No matter how you talk, it's like talking to a cow. Maybe it's also a test for me."
Wang Chao lowered his head and looked at his shadow curled up on the ground, and a thousand emotions surged in his heart.
Tai Chi, Xingyi, Bagua, Baji, Tongbei, Wing Chun White Crane, Guoshu Records, Tang Zichen, Zhu Jia, Zhang Tong, Cao Jingjing, Cao Yi, Li Wanji, Zhao Xinglong, Yao Xiaoxue, Mr. Li, the old man crying bitterly, Cao Yi, Zhu Tianliang, the municipal party secretary, the second son of the provincial governor, the group of hideous faces ambushing in the alley to kill him, the sharp machete, and the master Lin Lijun who died under the gun, the convoy and momentum of the wealthy nobles who appeared just this morning, the gunfight between police and bandits, the life-and-death fight, the luxurious commercial building, the luxurious villa, the life of the rich, and so on, the people and things experienced in the past two years, all flashed in his mind.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, the phone inside the clothes rang loudly, waking up the thoughtful Wang Chao from the chaotic ocean of thoughts.
He took a deep breath, his whole body joints vibrated, his muscles stretched and contracted, his chest expanded and contracted, and he suddenly exhaled, a long air arrow shot out of his mouth, flashing away.
It seemed that all the impurities were exhaled in this breath, Wang Chao felt refreshed all over his body, and his mind was clearer than ever before.
After exhaling, he answered the phone, and Zhu Jia's voice came from it: "You have been standing at the door for a long time, what are you doing? Have you talked to the old man so quickly? It seems that the two of you are talking very speculatively. Has the old man recognized you as a fellow gossiper? I was in the car not far away, and I came here at noon. When I got here, I saw you standing at the door. You have been standing there all the time. Are you stupid?"
Wang Chao looked over to find the voice, and sure enough, he found a luxurious high-end BMW parked under the shade of a tree on another road. There was a military license plate on the back, and he didn't know where Zhu Jia got it from.
Seeing Wang Chao looking over here, the car window opened automatically, revealing Zhu Jia's beautiful face, waving over here.
Wang Chao walked over and found that there was a beautiful girl driving the car in the driver's seat. She was wearing an elegant winter outfit and looked very elegant. It was obvious that she was a well-educated upper-class person.
"Hey, it's you?" Wang Chao had sharp eyes and recognized that the driver was one of the group of people who came to see the old man in the morning and scolded him.
"When this girl came in the morning, she drove a high-end Hummer off-road vehicle. Now, in less than half a day, she changed to another one, and it was a military license plate. She is indeed a rich and powerful daughter. It's a pity..."
Wang Chao thought of the old man crying and felt a little bored.
"Wang Chao, get in the car quickly. We have an appointment to have dinner together. You can come too."
"Jia Jia, who is he?" The daughter looked at Wang Chao outside and asked in confusion.
"He is my friend, and he is also a fellow student of Mr. Li who practices kung fu. Mr. Li is his uncle. This time he came to see the old man." Zhu Jia immediately boasted and raised Wang Chao's status.
"Oh." The young lady was refreshed when she heard this. She looked at Wang Chao outside carefully and seemed to recognize him: "Mr. Li's junior. No wonder I saw him going up the corridor where my old man lives this morning." "My family has something urgent to do and I have to go back. Zhu Jia, you can play in Beijing for a few days." Wang Chao politely refused. Although he knew that Zhu Jia must have invited some nobles to dinner this time, which would be beneficial to his future development, he was not interested at all. Such a feast of wealth and power. For Wang Chao, whose boxing skills have not yet been perfected, it is a dangerous behavior that confuses the mind and corrodes the will. Although the Taoist practice emphasizes the world, Wang Chao has not yet left the world. His mind is not as clear as a child, and his will is not as strong as steel. If he comes into contact with wealth and power, he will definitely fall into it. He is very clear about his current situation, and in his thinking just now, he has planned a path of practice for himself. After greeting Zhu Jia, Wang Chao smiled and said nothing. Instead, he turned around and left without looking back.
Zhu Jia never expected Wang Chao to refuse. Her face flushed. The rich lady also stared at Wang Chao's back in a daze.
After a long time, Zhu Jia recovered from the embarrassment. She muttered and snorted slightly: "Forget it, let's go!"
"How is it, Jia Jia, is this your boyfriend? Are you having a conflict?" The rich lady asked in confusion.
"Hmph! I helped him so much, but he doesn't know what's good for him!" Zhu Jia snorted again.
The rich lady laughed twice, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away quickly.
Wang Chao returned to his home that night and told his parents that he was going to travel. Then he went to the Taekwondo gym and told Li Wanji that he was going out to practice for a while, and Zhao Xinglong would take over the job temporarily.
Li Wanji did not make it too difficult and readily approved Wang Chao's request.
After clearing some other things, he rested at home for a few days. Then a sudden cold wave came, and heavy snow covered all cities, villages, rivers, lakes, and roads.
On the morning when the heavy snow fell, he set out on foot on the road heading southwest.
Wang Chao wanted to trace back to the inspiring route of the last century on foot. He walked step by step, covering mountains and rivers, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and towering mountains, admiring the touching moments of the past and removing the distractions in his heart and mind.
