Chapter 179 The same hometown
Chapter 179: Both are from hometown
"It's okay, Uncle Liu is out of instinct. My friend's family first arrived in Kandahar and opened a martial arts school. Many local schools have come to play at home, so Uncle Liu has never had a good impression of the people here. It's good to you. If someone comes, he will have a disagreement, and he may start fighting.
Julia explained to Wang Yue as she walked. She said casually, and she was obviously used to the old man's behavior and attitude.
Although the Su martial arts hall is not large, it also has a triple yard inside and outside. It seems that the surrounding land was merged into the beginning of its construction. Walking forward, bypassing the screen wall in front of the door, the eyes suddenly became clear. There were things on the ground covered with blue bricks, neatly placed stone locks, water tanks, and more than a dozen raised sandbags.
In addition, under the corner of the wall near the southwest direction, dozens of thick wooden stakes of different heights were buried, as well as solid wood weapon racks painted with red paint, with bright swords and guns inserted on them, which did not look fake. However, there are too few people playing with swords and guns these days. At least in Western society, there are really few people using all cold weapons except swords and daggers in actual combat.
Moreover, from the perspective of tradition and culture, the layout of this martial arts hall is also an original oriental flavor, and it is completely different from the branch clubs of various Western fighting genres. It seems that they value practicality more and do not care much about some superficial things.
Wang Yue followed Julia and saw three or four middle-aged people slowly punching under a big tree in the yard. These people were all wearing loose cotton clothes, black hair and black eyes. It was obvious that they were all Tang people who practice martial arts here.
There were two old men with gray hair next to them, standing aside and giving advice from time to time. Whenever someone’s movements were not in place, they would correct them immediately.
"Hey, what kind of kung fu do these people practice?"
The young people who were boxing under the tree were slow and did not look like they were trying hard. The muscles on their limbs and bodies did not have obvious bulges. The first impression they gave people was as if a group of people were dancing and did not look like they were practicing fighting skills at all.
However, Wang Yue was not an ordinary person after all. After just a few glances, he immediately discovered something unusual inside.
First of all, Wang Yue found that the spirits of these people were very concentrated and concentrated. Even when they saw Wang Yue and Julia, they did not pay any attention. Their eyes seemed to be moving slowly with their hands, urging their eyes with their fingers, and their expressions were concentrating.
Moreover, Wang Yue also found that when these people in the Su martial arts hall practiced boxing, whether they were shoulders, elbows, or even spine, back, waist, hips, and knees, were moving in a coherent movement, vaguely following a certain arc trajectory.
Especially their feet never seem to be raised high from the ground. When they swam, their toes are always chasing, allowing their bodies to keep walking in circles. Even when they are moving, their steps are always close to the ground, and they look like walking on an iced river, carefully, walking on thin ice.
Then, these people's boxing postures were very soft, raising their hands and feet to stretch with generous expressions, and each move was full of a strong sense of rhythm. Although it was still impossible to tell how powerful this fighting technique was, Wang Yue discovered a feeling that made him feel moved.
"These people are all students in the martial arts school. They are practicing an oriental boxing technique called Liuhequan, which is also the introductory fighting technique of the Su martial arts school. I also practiced with my friend for a while, but for some reason, I just couldn't understand the truth they said. Especially the concept of 'qi,' I still can't understand it."
When Julia saw Wang Yue suddenly stopping, her face looked thoughtful, she explained to her a little. With her relationship with the Su martial arts family, it is certainly not a problem to learn some martial arts from the East.
However, the concepts of martial arts in the East and the West are different, and they have their own systems. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you practice casually, but once you touch on each other’s core things, it is obviously not that easy to understand thoroughly.
Julia is a native Westerner. She has been instilled in all aspects by Western culture and lacks understanding of Eastern civilization. If she wants to make her truly understand the concept of "qi" on this basis, it is like she is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers from the perspective of thought.
And this is obviously not an individual case. Just like when you enter the door, there is no local among the people Wang Yue saw. Although the Su Martial Arts Hall recruits students and seems to be willing to spread the Eastern martial arts culture, in fact, in the past few years, no Westerner has ever learned anything real here.
Even if many people sign up to pay for their studies, most of them have a curious attitude. After a long time, they can’t learn any real skills, and it’s hard to practice boxing, so they will naturally stop coming.
What's more, there are no fewer fighting genres that are popular in the West. Even if these people drop out of school, they have a lot of choices.
"It's indeed unique, and there are so many differences from the fighting skills we practice. However, if I'm right, these people have high mental requirements when practicing. At least, those older middle-aged people are all masters, and they are really strong."
Wang Yue stared at the middle-aged men who were holding fists in front of him. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but secretly amazed.
If someone with a little less eye-catching look, it would be like Julia beside her. In her eyes, these people are soft and weak when practicing boxing, and they are simply practicing some kung fu.
But in fact, Julia has seen the master of this martial arts school with her own eyes. When facing the challenges of several local fighting genres, she was almost invincible and invincible.
Although the people from the Su martial arts school were so slow that they could not see any awesomeness when practicing boxing, they were completely different as soon as they fought with others. After a few witnesses, even if she, a seed player from the sound of bagpipes, could not get a little advantage when she was fighting with her friends.
So, Julia was actually confused in her heart. Why did Eastern martial arts look like this when she was practicing?
No matter which genre of fighting techniques, even if the effects of genres vary greatly, the foundation at the beginning must start with training one's own physical strength. Strength and speed are always the most fundamental things. Even the genre of Aiqi Yuanwu, which is the most closely related to Eastern martial arts, has a lot of dependence on the strength of their own muscles, rather than like those of the Su Martial Arts Club, who ask you to experience the "qi" in your body as soon as you get started.
In the Eastern martial arts, the concept of "qi" runs through the whole world. If you cannot understand it, you cannot understand the method or "qi", you will not even be able to enter the door.
And Julia has obviously been "unable to enter" until now.
However, Wang Yue is different from her, especially since he was originally from Asia-Tang Kingdom, and he is of the same origin as these people. Moreover, from childhood to adulthood, under the education of Wang Chaozong, although he has always received so-called elite education in the West, he has not relaxed his studies of the culture of the motherland in private. At least, he has also known some of the classics that young people in the Tang Kingdom should read at his age.
In addition, now, "this king is not the king is more powerful." He was once the top spiritual master of the Federation, and his deep understanding of the ancient culture of his tribe is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Even if it is not a world, two countries in the East have a high similarity between them. Even if some things are different, they can still learn from each other when compared. Of course, it is not as difficult as Julie to understand.
"Although the core of Eastern martial arts is Qi, it emphasizes essence, Qi, and Spirit. Although the concept is still a bit abstract and difficult to understand, looking at the way these people look when practicing boxing and are highly concentrated, you can also know that their kung fu exercises the human body's spiritual strength much stronger than any kind of fighting technique I know in the West."
Combined with the abnormal state when Wu Bochen got up to practice swordsmanship. Wang Yue was deeply thinking, and immediately became much more interested in this Su martial arts school.
"Maybe this time, not only will it help my internal injuries, or I can get something else here."
As soon as he came here, Wang Yue was infected by the atmosphere of this martial arts hall. After a while of careful observation of how these people were when practicing boxing, Wang Yue's thought of seeing the master here became more and more urgent.
"What kind of character should the martial arts master in the East be?"
Then the two walked forward again, bypassed the yard, and walked through the moon gate behind the main room into the second yard, with bursts of flowers and green all over the eyes coming to their faces.
Unlike the courtyard in front, it seems to be more like a garden carefully cared for by the owner. Although the area is not large, it is located in the center. A fish pond with more than one acre of water surface was dug out. Pebbles on the shore were paved, willows were beating their waists, lotus leaves in the pond were green, lotus flowers were in full bloom, and sometimes a koi jumped out of the water surface, splashing water droplets like broken jade, falling on the lotus leaf and lotus petals, rolling around. It immediately gave people a feeling of purity and peace.
And just above the water surface, a floating bridge extends from the shore to the middle of the pool. With the rugged rocks, an ancient water pavilion pavilion was built. Standing at the door, looking over, you can see that in the pavilion, there are a few young men and women with picturesque eyebrows gathered together to talk.
The cool breeze in the water pavilion is full of green. Looking up, it is full of greenery and colorful. Being able to stay here at three or four o'clock in the afternoon to chat with friends, and relying on the waves and wind, is indeed a great pleasure in life.
This kind of artistic conception is really more comfortable than any kind of reception occasion.
As soon as he walked into such a yard, Wang Yue was obviously much more impacted than Julia.
Julia has not known how many times she has been here before, and she has become natural. No matter how beautiful the scenery here is, it is just ordinary to her. However, although Wang Yue grew up in the West, he is completely oriental in his bones. When he sees this kind of scenery arranged like a garden, he will naturally easily feel a stunning feeling of intoxication.
It’s just because he doesn’t know much about the East of this world, but there are some deep-rooted things in his heart that can easily resonate with these external objects in some form.
It’s like those wanderers who have been away from home for many years, even if they hear some news about their hometown in their mouths, they will be extremely excited.
Wang Yue’s resonance is actually his recognition of his own bloodline.
