Chapter 364 Acupuncture
On the evening of the 4th, He Zhongqiu drove back to Huairou after finishing his track and field training.

But they did not return to Qiuxue Garden. Instead, they were led by a military vehicle to a military base in the mountains.

I really don't have time during the day, so I can only come here at night to perform my duties.

"Mr. He, I'm Zhou Ning, the person in charge here. Welcome, you're finally here."

"Sorry, sorry, I'm really too busy. Commander, could you please call me by my name?"

"Okay, Zhongqiu, let's go and eat first. I hope you can get used to the army's food."

"I'm used to it. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also in the army."

"Haha, I know."

He was received by a group of school officers, led by a major general, who took him to eat first. The cafeteria was very quiet, as if there was no one there.

But when they went in, they saw that the room was already filled with more than a hundred soldiers in camouflage uniforms. When they saw them come in, they shouted "Stand up" and everyone stood up instantly.

"Everyone, welcome Instructor He." A major officer shouted loudly.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was immediate applause.

"Hello, everyone!" He Zhongqiu quickly saluted.

"sit down!"

There was another loud noise, and all the soldiers sat down.

He Zhongqiu glanced at the soldiers with sharp eyes. They were all very capable soldiers with firm and powerful eyes.

He and a group of officers sat down at a long table. All the dishes were served in stainless steel basins, the amount of which was enough to feed pigs.

The food is also good, with eight dishes, four meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and one soup, including braised pork, braised beef in soy sauce, shrimps and lamb.

"I know you can't eat too much pork, so I specially prepared beef and mutton." Colonel Zhou said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you!" He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

After the meal, there was an hour's break. During this time, He Zhongqiu followed Colonel Zhou and others to an office.

"Zhongqiu, have you thought about what you are going to teach?" asked Colonel Zhou.

He Zhongqiu nodded and said, "First, the basic three-body stance exercise of Xingyiquan, if practiced well, can strengthen the Qi and blood, and can make up for the excessive consumption of Qi and blood from years of hard training."

"Pile Kung Fu?"

Colonel Zhou exchanged glances with a group of officers. This was something they had not expected.

He Zhongqiu introduced: "My standing practice is not the same as those taught outside. Those are just postures, without any method to strengthen the Qi and blood, so they have no effect on strengthening the Qi and blood."

"How much time do we need to practice every day?" asked Colonel Zhou.

"It depends on how good your kung fu is. If you have practiced it well, half an hour each morning and evening will be enough. It's not good to practice it for longer," said He Zhongqiu.

Colonel Zhou nodded and asked in confusion, "Isn't your standing practice a secret? The army has hired many martial arts coaches before, but none of them have the method you mentioned to strengthen the Qi and blood."

He Zhongqiu explained: "The He family only has two kinds of martial arts, Iron Shirt and Eagle Claw Kung Fu. These two martial arts also have methods to strengthen the qi and blood, which I cannot teach you.

But Xingyiquan can be taught, because it is not the He family kung fu passed down by my father, but something he learned outside.

Of course, he did not learn the Xingyiquan method of strengthening qi and blood, nor did he learn real kung fu. The methods I have mastered now are all what I have figured out myself over the years.

But don't worry, these methods are definitely very good things, no less than the real kung fu of my He family, and I rarely pass them on to others.

In the future, the basic skill of Xingyiquan Santi Zhuang will become one of the martial arts inherited by my He family. If you practice it well, it will prolong your life."

"That's great!"

Colonel Zhou said happily.

He Zhongqiu added: "I will also teach you some skills of grappling, cutting pulses and pressing acupoints. Forget about the fighting skills, I also learned those outside. You can ask other people to teach you.

The skills of catching, cutting, and acupuncture require the training of hand and finger strength, so there are also some training techniques for training hand and finger strength. "

This time he is going to teach special forces, and these skills are suitable for them. In fact, if he were to teach ordinary soldiers, he would have nothing to teach.

"Zhongqiu, is there really such a skill as acupressure?" asked a lieutenant colonel.

"I've never used the pulse-cutting and acupuncture skills outside. I'll let you see it later." He Zhongqiu said.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, is the lethality great?" asked a major.

He Zhongqiu said: "If the acupoints are not released and the meridians are not cleared in time, over time, the blood vessels and muscles will die due to lack of blood, which may cause paralysis and organ failure. There are also some very important acupoints that have lethal effects, which should not be used lightly."

"It seems that what Zhongqiu wants to teach us is real kung fu. This time we have found the right person." Colonel Zhou said with emotion.

He Zhongqiu smiled and said, "But I can't guarantee whether you can learn it or not."

"This is our business, and of course it has nothing to do with you. How can anyone guarantee to teach you until you learn it?" Colonel Zhou said with a smile.

"By the way, Zhongqiu, I heard that the U.S. Marine Corps also wants to invite you to be a martial arts coach?" asked a lieutenant colonel.

He Zhongqiu shook his head and said, "I don't really want to go. When their people came to consult me, I made excuses saying that my martial arts were not suitable for military combat.

They had previously hired a person from Hong Kong as a martial arts coach, but it really didn’t work, so they canceled the plan in the end.”

At this point, he suddenly asked, "I don't know what to teach you either. Do you want to learn flying knives?"

Colonel Zhou said hurriedly, "Yes, your flying knives are amazing. If you are willing to teach us, we are certainly willing to learn. When special forces cannot use guns, flying knives are very useful."

“Well, I will teach you both the Flying Knife and the Flying Locust Stone.

Except for Iron Shirt and Eagle Claw, the others can be taught, I'm just afraid they are not practical. "At eight o'clock, He Zhongqiu came to the parade ground with Colonel Zhou and others. In the brightly lit parade ground, one hundred special forces elites were already lined up waiting.

"Commander, would you like to see my pulse-cutting and acupuncture skills first?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"it is good."

Colonel Zhou nodded and glanced at a burly major beside him, who immediately shouted, "Wang Hongwu."

"arrive."

The sixth soldier in the first row puffed out his chest and responded loudly.

"Get out of the queue."

"Yes."

The major introduced: "Zhongqiu, Wang Hongwu graduated from Shaolin Tagou Martial Arts School. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has also practiced hard qigong, so he has a strong ability to withstand blows."

He Zhongqiu took a look at Wang Hongwu. He had a dark face, looked to be about 30 years old, a little over 180 cm tall, with broad shoulders and a strong waist. He weighed no less than 100 kg and was a very strong soldier.

"Is this the Kung Fu King? I wonder if he has real Kung Fu?"

Wang Hongwu stood at attention and looked at He Zhongqiu curiously.

"Wang Hongwu, Instructor He is going to teach you real kung fu now, from the three-body stance to grappling, meridian-cutting and acupoint pressing. Now I will demonstrate the acupoint pressing skills so that you can broaden your horizons. You should get ready." said the major.

"Yes." Wang Hongwu responded loudly.

He squatted down in a horse stance, and all the muscles in his body swelled up immediately. He also wanted to see whether the acupoint pressing skills described in martial arts novels were real.

At this time, the other soldiers' attention was all focused on He Zhongqiu and Wang Hongwu.

He Zhongqiu walked in front of Wang Hongwu, raised his right index finger and said: "People who have practiced this skill can press acupoints with their fingers, but there are very few such people, because most of them cannot practice it well, and instead of pressing acupoints, they break their own fingers.

So generally speaking, acupoint pressing uses the Phoenix Eye Fist, which highlights the index finger joint. Using this point to strike the acupoint has stronger penetrating power than using fingers to press the acupoint, and has greater lethality. "

At this point, he raised his right index finger and said, "In order to reduce the lethality, I will now use my fingers to press the acupoints."

"Report." Wang Hongwu shouted loudly.

"Go ahead," said the major.

"Instructor He can use the Phoenix Eye Fist to press acupoints. I believe I can withstand it." Wang Hongwu said loudly.

The major looked at He Zhongqiu. He Zhongqiu was startled, put away his index finger, clenched it into a phoenix eye fist, and asked with certainty:
"Are you serious? The power of my punch is concentrated on my knuckles, which can even break your bones."

"what?"

Wang Hongwu was stunned for a moment, looked at He Zhongqiu's fist as big as an iron bowl and his finger bones as strong as steel, gritted his teeth, and was about to say yes, but was stopped by the major.

The major said, "Well, Instructor He's punch can reach a force of one thousand pounds. Even the world heavyweight champion can't withstand his punch. Wang Hongwu, can you withstand it?"

Wang Hongwu's face changed. He stayed in the military camp for training every day, so he had no idea about these things. He didn't know what to do.

"Now it's 1500 pounds," said He Zhongqiu.

Everyone's face changed. 1500 pounds, nearly 700 kilograms, a punch has a force of half a ton. Is this the strength that humans should have? This is the strength that only polar bears have.

Wang Hongwu, his face flushed, hesitated and said, "Well, Instructor He, please use your finger to point at me. Please go easy on me."

"Hey!"

Some people in the queue couldn't help but burst out laughing, and so did a group of officers.

"Get ready." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"Yes."

Wang Hongwu, with a red face, squatted down again and got ready.

"Take it!"

He Zhongqiu took half a step forward and pointed casually. His right index finger, as strong as iron, instantly hit the middle of Wang Hongwu's thoracic vertebrae, making a sound like wood and stone hitting each other.

Although the force seemed not strong, Wang Hongwu only felt his entire chest go numb, as if he had been electrified, and the shock instantly spread throughout his body. Then he lost feeling and control of his body, and his body softened and fell to the ground.

When everyone at the scene saw this scene, their eyes widened.

"The acupuncture points must be unblocked in time. If you delay any longer, you will first suffer from incontinence. If you delay any longer, there will be irreversible damage..."

He Zhongqiu casually supported Wang Hongwu and immediately rubbed the relevant acupoints on his back. It took half a minute to release the acupoints, and Wang Hongwu slowly regained control of his body.

At this time, his saliva was flowing out uncontrollably.

The first thing he said when he stood up was, "Instructor, I'm convinced. Please teach me acupuncture points."

He Zhongqiu nodded, turned around and said to Colonel Zhou: "Commander, I can't teach this kung fu to others, not even my family, because if someone with bad intentions or who doesn't know the seriousness of the situation learns it, it will easily cause trouble."

Colonel Zhou nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Zhongqiu, they are all carefully selected and will be soldiers all their lives.

Furthermore, the Kung Fu you teach will be classified as confidential by the military and will not be passed on to anyone else."

From that day on, He Zhongqiu came to the base every day and night to teach martial arts, and became even busier.

Three days later, the Kung Fu he taught was classified as the army's top secret, and he was given the honorary rank of major.

However, the fact that he served as a martial arts coach for the domestic military was not publicized, so it had little influence and not many people knew about it.

There were some news reports before, but after little publicity, the public just thought it was hype.
