Chapter 88 An unexpected surprise
The rain has stopped, the weather is cloudy and sunny, and the mountain breeze carries a hint of coolness after the rain, which is a rare refreshing feeling in summer.
"The weather is nice."
Wu Yong glanced at the sky, came to the open space outside the bamboo building, threw down the quiver, and picked up the wooden bow with both hands.
"Hey..."
Different from the broken and reassembled specifications of the golden wire bow, this wooden bow is close to the adult standard. The length of the bow is nearly five feet, which is half a head taller than Wu Yong.
Not only that, I don’t know what kind of wood this bow is made of. It is far heavier than fine steel of the same size. With Wu’s current strength, he actually had to use both hands to lift it horizontally. After a while, his arm muscles began to ache.
.
The reason why "Xingyi Lianfa" is called "Xingyi Lianfa" is simply because the content described in it can be understood through "form".
The first form is for pinching an arrow, the second form is for practicing standing posture, and the third form is for practicing shoulder, elbow and force-generating skills, all of which are the basics of archery.
"I'm really slow to react..."
After Wu Yong took it seriously, Zhuge Liang laughed at himself.
Now, he has enough foundation to continue to practice at a deeper level. For this step, he must use this heavy wooden bow.
The fourth style is a movement to practice strength, but unlike "Five Yuan Lingshu Fist" which improves the overall physical quality of the body through tempering blood and energy, this style of exercise is more targeted - in the words of Wu Yong's previous life
, it is a specialized training.
Wu Yong switched the wooden bow from his hands to his left hand, gave a clear shout, and raised it with one hand to about the height of a normal bow, without pulling the string, and just kept this posture.
This is an action for stabilizing the hand control of the bow before practicing.
The first prerequisite for bow shooting is to be accurate. Otherwise, no matter how heavy the bow is, no matter how sharp the arrow is, it will be in vain. To ensure a high enough accuracy, the most important thing is to maintain the consistency of the movements.
.
This includes the specific position of the arrow on the bow string, the specific position of the hand holding the bow handle, how much full the bow is drawn, etc. Each time the bow is set on the string and the arrow is shot, it must be as consistent as possible to achieve accuracy.
Otherwise, if the arrow is set high at one time and low at the other time, the impact point will naturally be different. When it comes to aiming, how to aim? Where to aim?
For another example, if you pull 21 inches at a time and 23 inches at a time, the elasticity of each shot is different, and the landing point is even less likely to be at the same place.
Going a step further, after confirming the target distance, how high do you need to raise your hand? It should be noted that if the distance is different, the shot will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times.
The so-called "a slightest mistake makes a thousand miles difference" is a perfect way to describe bow shooting, and this involves experience, let's not mention it for now.
But no matter what, the action of controlling the bow with the front hand is the foundation of the basics. Only by anchoring the position of the front hand can all subsequent actions be followed in sequence.
For this reason, Xuan Xuzi gave him this wooden bow to help him practice the stability of holding the bow in front of him, among other things.
At first, for more than ten breaths, Wu Yong's legs could still be rooted deep into the ground like old trees, as steady as a tree, and his waist, abdomen and back muscles could remain tight and motionless.
But after a while, his left hand began to tremble, as if he was holding not only a bow, but also a huge stone hanging underneath.
Wu Yong gritted his teeth and persisted, his face was red and the veins on his forehead were bulging. The most difficult thing was that even at this time, he couldn't hold his breath and had to keep breathing smoothly.
Strength is the result of the coordination of the whole body. With each exhalation and inhalation, the muscles bulge and contract, and the blood rushes, so that the power of the whole body can burst out.
If he is used to holding his breath to lift the bow, he will feel better and it will not be easy to release the force in a short period of time. However, this will inevitably affect the force exerted in setting the arrow and pulling the string in the next step.
"This habit must be changed!"
Wu Yong gritted his teeth, thinking of the teacher's serious warning, he didn't dare to be vague at all.
After gritting his teeth and holding on for half a cup of tea, the concentrated blood in his left arm dispersed and flowed to all parts of his body, and the wooden bow fell to the ground with a "dong" sound.
Wu Yong sat down, his right elbow on the ground, breathing heavily, his left hand was soft at his side, trembling, but he was already out of strength.
How long has it been since you tempered your blood energy that you haven’t had this feeling of losing strength?
He picked up the kettle and drank a few gulps, wiped off the sweat, lay down and took a breath, waited for his heartbeat to calm down, encouraged himself in his heart, and immediately stood up again, shaking his hands and lifting the wooden bow horizontally again.
p>
"Hey!"
Boom...
"Hey!"
Boom...
By the sixth time, Wu Yong's left hand had no strength at all. It was difficult to even lift a kettle, let alone lift the bow.
"Let's do this for today, don't hurt your body."
Wu Yong firmly remembered the teacher's teaching of "too much is too little". He shook the water hyacinth and heard no sloshing sound inside. He licked his lips, stood up and prepared to scoop water from the creek on the mountain wall behind the bamboo house.
p>
But before he had even taken two steps, there was a sudden sudden movement from the true energy in the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows.
Wu Yong was startled, immediately put down the gourd, sat cross-legged on the spot, fell into concentration, and collected his thoughts.
I saw that within the ancestral orifice, the originally peaceful "Shaoqing Sword Jue" true energy spontaneously separated into a strand, slowly sinking, following the tributary path, to the chest and lungs.
At this moment, his true energy penetrated his lungs, and without warning, he began to penetrate the first of the twelve main meridians - the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian!
Just like the first taste last time, the true energy flowed through the lungs and immediately encountered a very tenacious resistance. But the difference is that this time, although the true energy moved slowly, it was extremely determined.
The true Qi in the ancestral orifice continues to sink, slowly pushing the invisible "air film" in the meridians, down along the inside of the upper arm, through the middle of the elbow, up the tiger's mouth, to the inner end of the thumb, and it is successfully opened in one go! <
/p>
Wu Yong suppressed his excitement and tried his best to maintain a calm state, so as not to fail in the critical moment. When the true energy filled the meridians, he slowly stopped the work, opened his eyes, and exhaled a clear breath of turbid air.
“I actually made it all the way smoothly!”
Wu Yong smiled from ear to ear.
The teacher had told him yesterday that he might be able to clear the first twelve chapters of "Shaoqing Sword Art" within these few days, so he had already been mentally prepared.
But I didn’t expect it to come so quickly!
However, this is not just that the master of "Shaoqing Sword Jue" is far ahead in the practice. He is one step ahead of "Jue Conquering the Sun and Moon Zhenxu Baoce" and "Jue Conquering the Sun and Moon Zhenxu Baoce" has fallen behind. On the contrary, it is
The latter triggered the opportunity for this breakthrough.
"Shaoqing Sword Jue" is a method for refining Qi, while "Jue Fu Sun and Moon Zhenxu Baoce" is a technique for refining body.
The former is to guide the spirit of heaven and earth, warm and nourish the true qi in the ancestral orifice, and then open up the twelve meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, from the outside in; the latter is to first refine the blood qi, and then go through the heart, liver and spleen.
Lung and kidney internal and external, practice to the skin, veins, muscles, muscles and bones.
Although the two take different paths, their essence is still inseparable from the movement of Qi and meridians.
Chapter completed!
