In a few seconds, Lou Cheng had a deeper understanding of this saying. When he shouted, "I want to participate in the special training," people cast their eyes on him from all directions. Some were surprised, some were confused, and some were curious, which made him feel scared and nervous subconsciously. It was just like the school speech he had tried before. Standing on the flag-raising platform and looking at the black mass of heads, he was always nervous and almost stuttered. Fortunately, he was not the protagonist at that time.
Geezer Shi saw this and said with a smile,
"Good, you seem to love martial arts from the bottom of your heart. Well, what's your name?"
"Lou Cheng." Lou Cheng took a deep breath and said.
Geezer Shi looked through the list in his hand, looking for Lou Cheng's name, and asked casually,
"Which year? Which Amateur Pin? Seventh or Eighth Pin? "
The stadium was silent. Lin Que kept his head down and looked indifferent. Chen Changhua took advantage of his height to look at Lou Cheng from afar, wondering who this guy was and why he had no impression of him. The rest of the Martial Arts Club members were waiting for an answer curiously. Only Cai Zongming, Qiu Zhigao, and Yan Zheke, who knew Lou Cheng, were surprised.
Lou Cheng didn't think too much and answered frankly,
"Freshman, no rank."
"You want to participate in the special training without a rank?" Geezer Shi blurted out. It was the first time since he stepped into the gymnasium.
As soon as he said this, the gymnasium burst into laughter and a cheerful atmosphere filled the gymnasium.
Lou Cheng was a little embarrassed at this time and couldn't help blushing.
"Good, good." Geezer Shi pressed his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he said with a smile, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. You're like me when I was young. Remember to come to the special training tomorrow. If you can't handle it, quit. Don't force yourself. I won't take responsibility if you die."
"Are you praising me?" "Or praising yourself?" Lou Cheng said while criticizing in his mind.
"Yes, Coach Shi."
After saying that, he subconsciously looked for Yan Zheke's figure. Coincidentally, Yan Zheke was also looking at him. With a smile in her eyes, she made an encouraging gesture.
Geezer Shi ignored the discussion of the Martial Arts Club members and continued to ask,
"Lou Cheng is the first one to sign up for the special training and the first one to eat crab. Who else?"
"Coach, I'm in, too." A sweet and familiar female voice came into Lou Cheng's ears. He turned around and saw Yan Zheke.
"She, she's also in?"
"Is it because she loves martial arts or for other reasons?"
"One of life's illusions. She's doing this for me …" Cai Zongming, who was beside him, dispelled Lou Cheng's fantasy.
"Can't you let me be happy for a few more seconds?" Lou Cheng glared at Cai Zongming.
...................... You have perseverance and courage. I can't beat you!............................................................. ......... Heaven will not let you down! "
Listening to Little Ming's nonsense, Lou Cheng suddenly didn't know how to answer him. He couldn't directly talk about the Jindan. If he didn't keep it a secret, he would lose his virginity. He could only admit that it was to chase girls.
............... of course.......
"That makes sense." Cai Zongming nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "You're worth teaching!"
Yan Zheke's participation made many male students eager to join her. After a while, Geezer Shi finished recording and then said with a straight face,
"Everyone, stand properly. Get ready for class."
"Although some of you are of Amateur First Pin or even Professional Ninth Pin, and some of you are not even qualified to attend the Amateur Ranking Event, in my eyes, you are all the same. There is no difference. You are all martial arts enthusiasts who haven't really entered the path of martial arts, and you are all kids who haven't been weaned off milk. Therefore, the first martial arts lesson should start from the basics.
With his hands behind his back, Geezer Shi paced back and forth in front of the team. Although his voice was not loud, every student could hear him clearly.
"… The beginning of martial arts begins with pole-standing, supplemented by footwork practice and modern strength training, such as bench press, squats, pull-ups, back muscle stretching, and so on. When you reach a certain level, you can talk about practicing your fighting style and master the special force skills of different moves …"
"… Your principal spent a Herculean effort to invite me here respectfully, so I'm definitely not someone with an undeserved reputation. The first lesson will be pole-standing. I'll teach you the foundation of the Dao Sect's Thunder Sect's ultimate technique, the Yin-Yang Stance!"
Boom! Boom! The sound waves exploded. The Martial Arts Club members whispered to each other excitedly and excitedly. They were all talking about it.
The unique skill of the Thunder Sect of Taoism was famous all over the world. Although its basic pole-standing had long been popular in the martial arts circle, it was still quite rare in the eyes of amateurs in society, unlike those simple and crude pole-standing functions.
Lou Cheng was also excited. He turned to Cai Zongming and asked, "Is it the unique skill of the Thunder Sect of Shangqing Sect?"
"It should be." Cai Zongming was also a little excited.
Although Taoism's martial arts did not appear early and was not the true origin of martial arts, it still inherited the inheritance of the pre-Qin ancient times, rectified the old system of gods and ghosts, and opened up the martial arts pattern of later generations. It was a very important branch of martial arts. The core martial arts were called the Five Sects Unique Skills, the highest was the Restriction Sect, and the lower levels were the Thunder Sect, Fire Sect, Fighting Sect, and Plague Sect.
As the two major forces today, Shangqing Sect and Longhu Club inherited the unique skills of the Thunder Sect and Fire Sect respectively. The other major force, Shushan Study, had the complete inheritance of the Fighting Sect. As for the unique skills of the Plague Sect, they had been lost after the war. Many forces had a part of it.
How could such a foundation of unique skills not make the students, who had been exposed to all kinds of news in the martial arts circle, excited?
Especially since Coach Shi was personally invited by the principal, he must have some skills. He was not lying!
It was a pity that it was not the stance of the Fire Sect of the Longhu Club …
Geezer Shi shifted his feet and his momentum changed. He was like a mountain, like the sea, like a deep abyss, like a mountain. Then he raised his hands and crossed them in front of his chest. He continued to ramble,
"The external movements of the still stance are very simple. The key is how to be still. There is a saying in the Thunder Sect," Conceal your spirit and Qi, and you will withdraw from troubles. "It means that it is impossible to not think of something in your mind. Only dead people can do that. So, visualize something and focus all your attention on it. You will achieve stillness if you keep one …"
"You can visualize anything you want. Men, women, cats, dogs, statues, artifacts, anything is fine as long as it's not something that arouses desire. Take me for example, I usually visualize a hundred dollar bill. I use the founding ancestor to suppress my mind, but I don't want to be greedy. This is called treating money like dirt …"
Imitating Geezer Shi's movements and listening to his humorous description, Lou Cheng got into position and planned to meditate. However, his mind was always shifting from one thing to another. He couldn't achieve a state of stillness. As for visualizing Yan Zheke, it was even more distracting. He couldn't help thinking about the future.
At this moment, his heart skipped a beat as he thought of the Golden Core in his dantian.
Keeping his thoughts in his lower abdomen, Lou Cheng slowly focused his thoughts on the Jindan itself, imagining the dreamy ice ball and the little flames that resembled a nebula.
As he focused his thoughts, Lou Cheng's vision suddenly changed. He seemed to see the dreamy Jindan in his Dantian.
The Jindan rotated slowly. The little ice crystals turned into stars and surrounded the flames. It was as if he was in the vast universe, deep and grand.
This … Did he directly look into the Jindan? Lou Cheng was a fan of martial arts for many years. He was no stranger to academic terms. He quickly figured out his current state.
This was the advanced level of Stillness!
Previously, he could only sense the Jindan when he was tired from running. Now he could rely on Stillness to look directly into the Jindan. He began to have a wonderful feeling of gradually controlling it. He was no longer trembling and helpless like yesterday.
Practicing martial arts can help me control the Jindan, and the Jindan can help me practice martial arts faster. For example, when I was meditating just now!
I made the right choice to participate in the special training!
Lou Cheng focused on his Dantian to achieve stillness. The rest of the thoughts appeared and disappeared. It was not that he did not want to appear, but that he did not want to affect himself.
The surroundings seemed to become empty. Everything was at the edge of the sky. Geezer Shi's voice sounded in his ears "from afar".
"After meditating, slowly shift your center of gravity. First, turn to the left. Make your left foot heavy and your right foot light. Then, reverse and shift your center of gravity to the right. Make your right foot heavy and your left foot light. Carefully feel the changes in every inch of your muscles during this process. This is the Yin-Yang Stance. It seems to be motionless on the surface, but in fact, it is constantly changing inside."
"The purpose of practicing this pole-standing exercise is firstly to let you master the state of meditation, and secondly, to let you feel and understand every subtle change in your body when you exert force and the coordination between them. Thus, you can better control your body and use it more harmoniously. When you practice to the extreme, your strength, muscles, and willpower will be integrated into one, coordinated and smooth, and there will be Absolute Reaction. It's like a human body's' big dan '. When the' dan 'is formed, Qi will be produced, and that is when you step into the realm of' dan qi '. The real entry level of martial arts is at least Professional Eighth Pin."
"Haha, I'm just saying. You don't have to think too much. Anyway, it's impossible to practice to this level. Among you, only Lin Que has hope. The rest of you just take it as a passing wind."
"Damn, although he is telling the truth, this old man is so mean …" A thought flashed through Lou Cheng's mind, but he still maintained the stance. At the same time, he began to slowly shift his center of gravity to his left foot.
As he shifted his center of gravity, the muscles of his legs, soles of his feet, and waist all changed. Everything was reflected in Lou Cheng's mind, giving him a feeling that he didn't recognize his own body.
When he was running with his fists, it seemed that his mind was moving and his body was not sluggish at all. Who would have thought that there would be such continuous changes in the small parts? No wonder sometimes when the posture was wrong, he would be tired and slow down a lot. It was because the order of the changes in force was wrong!
The mountain was not a mountain, the water was not water!
Lou Cheng soon immersed himself in this new feeling. He continued to slowly shift his center of gravity, feeling the various changes in his body between illusion and reality, movement and weight. It was like opening the door to a new world. Especially when the Jindan began to operate and split into streams of heat to the small parts, he vaguely touched on some kind of mystery.
After Geezer Shi finished teaching the Yin-Yang Stance, he began to inspect the students with his hands behind his back. It was almost impossible to practice the Still Stance for the first time. He just wanted to let these brats get used to it first.
"Lin Que is not bad. He's learned it from his family and has already mastered the Still Stance …" Geezer Shi passed by Lin Que and nodded slightly.
"Chen Changhua is thinking too much and can't calm down … Wu Dong is weak and can't calm down even if he wants to … Yan Zheke has mastered it well. She should be able to do it after a few more times … What the hell is this? What is he thinking? Why is he drooling?" He passed by one student and commented in his mind. "This is Cai Zongming, right? He's a little talented, but he has too many thoughts. If he doesn't organize them properly, it will take him a long time to master the Yin-Yang Stance. Eh? "
Geezer Shi paused beside Lou Cheng. His eyes were filled with bewilderment.
