Chapter 95: First Step into Martial Arts
In Nanqiao Town, in a low courtyard near the fields, the smell of medicine that usually lingered here all day long has completely disappeared. On the blue brick ground, a thin young man is slowly performing a set of boxing techniques.
However, the young man's movements were quite strange, like a layman who had just started to learn martial arts. He was unfamiliar with his punches and kicks, and he was hesitant every time he punched or kicked, as if there was something wrong with his punches.
And in fact it was true. The set of boxing that Su Lie was using at this time did not belong to any established routine, but was a combination of the basic boxing of the Ming Dynasty world in Yue Hongcheng's memory and the basic boxing of this world.
The so-called basic boxing, in Su Lie's opinion, is more similar to the radio gymnastics on Earth, but the movements are relatively complicated. The purpose is to stretch the limbs through complex movements to achieve the effect of strengthening the body.
It's just that in this world there is the essence of heaven and earth. Martial artists who practice basic boxing techniques can continuously guide the essence of heaven and earth into their bodies, and the effect of strengthening their bodies will be more obvious.
However, people are all different. Although basic boxing techniques are popular throughout the world and almost every martial artist practices them, it does not mean that they are suitable for everyone.
The process of practicing boxing is also a process of exploration and improvement for martial artists. They need to find the angle and strength that best suits them when punching and kicking, thereby forming a boxing routine that best suits them.
With the help of Yue Hongcheng's memory, Su Lie had already mastered almost all the advanced skills in the entire Ming Dynasty world. However, the Ming Dynasty world was very different from this world, and the development of the martial arts in the two was also different.
The Ming Dynasty martial arts world pays more attention to the cultivation of true qi. When martial artists first practice martial arts, they breathe in and out to generate a sense of qi, and then they cultivate true qi. All the moves and techniques are based on the release of true qi to generate powerful power, but they don't pay much attention to the physical body. Even before returning to Blue Star, Yue Hongcheng, who entered the Dao through martial arts, was the same.
However, this world is exactly the opposite, or its practice system is more complete and rigorous. When a warrior starts practicing, he must strengthen his body, refine his skin and flesh, and refine his internal organs. Only when the body is strong enough will the blood and qi be abundant, and then the true qi will be derived.
Comparing the two, Su Lie is more inclined to the martial arts of this world. After all, the practice of a martial artist is inseparable from the transformation and growth of his spirit, energy and soul.
In the Ming Dynasty, the true qi is the first priority. At the beginning of the practice, the warriors cannot communicate with the heaven and earth. The true qi they extract at the beginning is the refined essence of the body, and they practice refining essence into qi. However, essence is the foundation of the body. If the body is not strong, how can we cultivate enough essence to transform into true qi? If we force the transformation, it may damage the foundation of the body.
The martial arts of this world emphasizes strengthening the body first, and then naturally nurturing the first wisp of true qi. At that time, the warrior will use the inner strength and mental method to guide the true qi and open up the meridians to continue practicing. Although this is slow, it has a more solid foundation and the martial arts will go further.
Of course, this does not mean that the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty have no merits. Compared with this world, the boxing of the Ming Dynasty may not be powerful enough in the early stage, but it wins in exquisite and detailed moves. And in this world, perhaps because the essence of heaven and earth is more abundant, even the basic boxing is practiced with great openness and closeness.
What Su Lie is doing now is to take the strengths of martial arts from both worlds, and with his perfect control over his body, create a perfect body-building boxing method that suits him best.
"puff……"
In the corridor of the courtyard, Mu Qing sat on a chair, her arms resting on her knees, her hands supporting her cheeks, looking comfortable and relaxed.
The situation in Hangzhou was chaotic. In addition, she was now poisoned by the cartilage powder, her muscles and bones were loose, and she could not exert her internal organs training strength at all. It was too dangerous to go out alone, so she could only watch the big villain in the yard practice martial arts.
But seeing Su Lie's stiff figure, Mu Qing couldn't help but sneer. With such boxing skills, even a three-year-old child could punch more fluently than him.
While he was amused, Mu Qing also felt strange. With the speed and strength that this villain had used to escape from him, he did not look like an ordinary person at all. How could he now beg him for basic boxing training? Moreover, he looked like a beginner in martial arts. Could he be born with supernatural powers?
In the courtyard, Su Lie carefully felt every bone and muscle in his body. As his boxing skills unfolded, one bone and muscle would be involved and moved.
It’s just about seeing how to punch more efficiently and make the effect of training more obvious.
Su Lie's eyes were slightly closed, but his mind was like a clear mirror hanging high in the sky, seeing through his whole body. Any incoordination when punching would be corrected in time, and then a more perfect boxing move would be derived.
Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world and Mu Qing, Su Lie's boxing style quickly changed from being awkward and stiff at the beginning to being smooth and natural.
Gradually, Su Lie's boxing skills have become quite powerful, and the sound of wind whistling between his punches is like that of a master who has been immersed in boxing for many years.
Suddenly, as Su Lie threw a punch, his muscles and bones made a crisp sound like popping beans.
"Bones and muscles are ringing!"
Looking at the figure standing in the yard with fists clenched, Mu Qing's eyes were slightly dull and he muttered to himself.
The sound of muscles and bones does not represent the realm of martial arts, but it is the martial artist's coordination of body and boxing moves. The presence of such a sound means that the martial artist's control over the moves has reached a certain extremely profound level.
In a battle with the enemy, one point of strength can produce a force equivalent to two or three points of the strength of an ordinary person.
call!
Su Lie exhaled a breath of hot air. Today's training was enough. It was not that he did not want to continue, but martial arts practice required a balance of relaxation and tension, and also required the accumulation of resources.
Especially in the early stages of martial arts in this world, in addition to the dynamic exercises to pull the body during the external muscle and bone training stage, sufficient nourishing medicinal foods are also needed to replenish the body's consumption. Otherwise, forced practice will only make it worse, and eventually result in the result of five kinds of fatigue and seven kinds of injuries.
And the silver that was originally obtained from Jia Xing was almost gone.
"Thank you for the boxing manual." Su Lie turned and looked at the girl in the corridor. After several days of recuperation, he was in high spirits. He spoke with full energy, awakening the dazed girl.
"Humph! Just give me the antidote to the cartilage powder."
With a delicate snort, Mu Qing turned away from him. This basic boxing technique was already popular in the martial arts world, and it was not considered a secret technique, so there was no loss in giving it to the other party.
"I don't have the antidote for cartilage powder." Walking to the side, Su Lie picked up a sweat towel and wiped the sweat off his body, then said calmly.
"What? You, how can you go back on your word? You said you would let me leave after you recover from your injuries!"
Mu Qing hurriedly stepped to Su Lie's side to question him. She had made her own decision to go to the land temple, and now that there had been no news for such a long time, she guessed that the uncle and the others must be very worried about her. But the big villain in front of her actually went back on his word and was not going to give her the antidote.
Although he had never restricted his movements, how could he leave Hangzhou safely when his muscles and bones were loose now?
"No gossip, I really don't have an antidote."
"Then you told me..."
"I was kidding. The effect of this cartilage powder will disappear on its own after a while unless you take it as a meal. Haven't you noticed any changes in yourself?" Su Lie said calmly as he looked at the girl in front of him who was gradually becoming speechless.
After receiving the hint, Mu Qing clenched his fist. Indeed, his palm was much stronger than before. It was just that perhaps the effect of the drug was still lingering, so his body had not yet recovered to its peak.
She was distracted during this period and didn't pay much attention to this change.
Ignoring the girl who was lost in thought, Su Lie walked straight out of the courtyard. At the beginning, he was injured and had difficulty moving, so he really needed someone to help him. Now that his injuries have healed, if the other party wants to leave, Su Lie will not stop him.
I have stayed in the courtyard for more than ten days. Now I need to go out for a walk and see the scenery of this world.
