Chapter 4 Strength and Strength

The old man was unhappy when he was touched. He glanced at the other person and sneered: "I am not Mr. Jin. It turns out to be your boy."

"Old man, please don't belittle me. Who dares to call me master in front of you? You are just flattering me by calling me Xiao Jin." Mr. Jin's calves softened and he almost knelt down, trembling with fear.

The man in front of me is the real master. Despite his appearance, he is just an ordinary old man. If you put it in Jinmen, no, the entire martial arts world is also the existence of Taishan Beidou. Let alone him, it is his master who is here.

, you have to call me "Master" politely.

The old man obviously knew this man, and he cursed: "Go back and give your master a message. If he can't manage the school well, this martial arts school will not be opened in the future. The things passed down by our ancestors are not for you."

People who have learned to dominate and oppress good people will be able to compete with foreign devils!"

In the confused and shocked eyes of the younger brothers, Jin Ye ran away in despair. Yes, it was a real run, the kind that did not dare to stop for a moment. He ran so fast that the younger brothers hurriedly ran away.

Even though I was catching up, I couldn't catch up, and I kept sighing, "Master is Master, this Qing Gong is really amazing."

"Xue Dian? An old man named Li?"

Qin Hao thought for a moment and guessed the identity of the old man. People in the world called him Single Sword Li. During the Guangxu period, he defeated the white strongman and was awarded the "First Class Gold Medal" by the Qing court. During the Eight-Power Allied Forces, at the age of 53, he was burned, killed and robbed by foreign devils.

He committed no evil and resolutely led many of his disciples to join the Boxer Rebellion and beat the Russian devils at the Laolongkou Railway Station in Jinmen.

If someone could be called a master during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, he would definitely occupy a place.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao's gaze towards the old man changed from the previous indifference to respect.

Perhaps feeling the change in Qin Hao's attitude, Xue Dian raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "Huh, now you know who my master is, why don't you hurry up and become my master?"

After the fight just now, Xue Dian also became very interested in the child in front of him. As a close disciple of the old man, Xue Dian has always been his junior brother. Although senior brother Shang Yunxiang and others have always taken good care of him, he also

I want to be a senior brother for once.

What's more, this kid's fists are so hard. If he became a senior brother, wouldn't he be able to spar with each other more often?

Li Cunyi also noticed Qin Hao's change. After sweeping away his previous depression, the old god sat upright, waiting for Qin Hao to kowtow and become his disciple.

However, after waiting for a while, Qin Hao made no movement at all, just when Li Cunyi got impatient with waiting.

"I will leave you a portion of mutton soup and two pounds of mutton from now on."

Is this gone? Li Cunyi’s eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. He had been waiting for this for a long time?

"Boy, don't you know what's good and what's good? My master needs your food!" Xue Dian couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily.

Qin Hao leisurely cleared the chopping board for cutting mutton and said lightly: "Boxing can defeat the enemy, what can you teach me?"

Xue Dian was going crazy. This was the first time he had seen such an ignorant person. Who was his master? The master of Xingyiquan - Li Cunyi. He was a figure who would make the whole martial arts world tremble when he stomped his feet. This made him even more excited.

Angry, Qin Hao was obviously looking down on Xingyi Quan.

Just when Xue Dian was about to teach this "bad boy" who didn't know the heights of the world in front of him a lesson, Li Cunyi smiled.

"Do you think I have nothing to teach you and am not worthy of being your master?"

Qin Hao didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Cunyi.

"Master......"

Xue Dian was about to speak, but Li Cunyi reached out to stop him. He slowly stood up, lifted up his gown and tucked the hem of his gown around his belt, and then rolled up his sleeves.

In an instant, the old man's whole demeanor changed. When he was sitting before, he looked like an ordinary fat old man.

At this moment, I saw the old man holding his chest and straightening his back, his knees slightly bent, his left hand slightly raised in front of him, and his right hand tucked diagonally downward.

The next second, the old man suddenly took a half step forward with his right foot, and his whole body was like a javelin being pierced. Only half a body away, the stove made of green bricks in front of Qin Hao collapsed suddenly.

"Half-step collapse fist!"

Xue Dian looked at the old man's tall back with admiration.

Qin Hao couldn't help but change his face slightly. It was not difficult for him to knock down the stove with one punch. Even from such a short distance, he could do it using his boxing skills.

What really surprised Qin Hao was that Li Cunyi was already seventy-one this year. Not to mention the Republic of China period when medical conditions were rudimentary, even in modern society, Li Cunyi could not even dance in the square at this age.

To be able to have such rapid and explosive power at such an advanced age is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Li Cunyi breathed out and slowly put away his fists. Although he didn't say a word, his proud eyes looked at Qin Hao and clearly said: How about it, are you qualified to be your master?

"It stands to reason that human body function will begin to decline after the age of thirty-five, and muscles will begin to atrophy at the age of fifty-five. How did you do it?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

Li Cunyi didn't understand those professional terms, but he roughly guessed their meaning. He didn't hide anything about it, and he didn't use it to force Qin Hao to become his disciple. He explained every word.

"Although I don't know how foreign boxing is practiced specifically, judging from the way you exert force, it should be using the strength of your whole body muscles to injure the enemy."

Qin Hao nodded slightly. In fact, not only boxing, but all other modern fighting techniques are based on this approach. They develop the body to the extreme, strength, and resist blows. To put it bluntly, they use the human body as a weapon.

Take Muay Thai, which has a myth of being undefeated for five hundred years, for example. It trains resistance to the extreme. When the boxer is still punching sandbags, Muay Thai directly ties the rope to the tree and uses fists, elbows and knees to hit.

Beat until the rope is broken and the tree is broken.

"The reason why Xingyiquan is called internal boxing is because it advocates using strength rather than force..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before Li Cunyi could finish speaking, Qin Hao frowned and interrupted: "What is strength and what is strength?"

"Well, force is completely produced through muscles, while energy is produced by muscles guided by muscles and bones. Do you understand?" Li Cunyi thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

Qin Hao fell into deep thought after hearing this. He originally thought that Li Cunyi would use the so-called "qi" rhetoric to fool him, but he didn't expect that the other party would speak so plainly, and even learned his terminology, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't understand.

In fact, from a scientific point of view, this makes sense, because the upper limit of muscle activation is very low. Generally speaking, no matter how talented a person is, the power of a punch will not exceed 500 kilograms, and this

People not only need talent, but also need long-term scientific training to do it.

The upper limit of what bones and fascia can activate in the human body far exceeds that of muscles, but why do modern fighting techniques abandon this method of exerting force?

Because it is easier and faster to stimulate muscle strength, you only need to crazily squeeze the limits of your body, and then make up for the consumption by supplementing a large amount of protein and other nutrients.

But the human body is a very magical organization. The increase in strength brought about by desperate squeezing will eventually lead to rapid decline after reaching the peak, and you will always have to pay it back.

This is also the reason why many professional athletes suffer from injuries after retirement.

"Do I need to hold a apprenticeship ceremony?" Qin Hao asked.

Li Cunyi was obviously stunned for a moment. He was still wondering if this kid was going to ask some tricky questions after being silent for a long time, but the other party actually let go, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Just kowtow and offer a bowl of tea."

Qin Hao was also very straightforward. After searching around, he couldn't find any tea, so he directly served Li Cunyi a bowl of hot mutton soup.

"Master, I'm here to pay my respects to you, my disciple."

"Oh, good, good!"

Li Cunyi took the mutton soup and took a big sip. He helped Qin Hao up with a smile and patted his shoulder: "From now on, you will be my apprentice, Li Cunyi!"

"Haha~~~"

Seeing that Qin Hao was finally convinced by his master, Xue Dian also walked up to Qin Hao and said, "Ahem, I am your fifteenth senior brother. Call me, senior brother."

Qin Hao didn't say anything and just rolled his eyes at him. Xue Dian glared in anger, but Li Cunyi slapped him in the face: "Don't bully your junior brother. He is as big as you are. He doesn't look like a senior brother at all."

Xue Dian grimaced and rubbed the patted head, his face full of melancholy. He finally understood why senior brother Shang Yunxiang and the others had such expressions when their master accepted him.

Some of the onlookers recognized Li Cunyi, and they all raised their hands to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Master Li, you are so happy to be your disciple."

"I'll teach you more martial arts heroes so that you can fuck those damn foreign devils in the future."

Li Cunyi happily returned the greeting to everyone: "I will definitely do it, thank you very much."

The mutton was gone and the mutton soup was sold out. Qin Hao originally planned to help Ah Fu close the stall. Seeing that Li Cunyi was still waiting, Ah Fu patted his chest and said, "Master, I can do it alone."

"Yeah." Qin Hao didn't show any friendship, pulled off his apron and left with Master and Disciple Li Cunyi.

Li Cunyi called two rickshaws, casually reported the address, and motioned for Qin Hao to get on the bus with him.

Xue Dian got into the rickshaw behind him with a stinking face, and the group sped towards the west of the city.

These rickshaw drivers are just like the black rickshaw drivers of later generations. They keep driving wildly and take shortcuts to connect with each other. It is almost as if they are flying. Not to mention, pulling people, the speed is really not much slower than riding a bicycle.

Soon we arrived at the entrance of a courtyard.

This is a smaller courtyard house, with the word "Li's Mansion" written on the plaque at the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Qin Hao saw that there were weapon racks, wooden dummies, stone locks and the like placed in the yard. It was like a martial arts arena.

"Child, what's your name? Who else is at home?"

Originally, these were all things that needed to be understood and investigated before accepting a disciple. After all, as a master of Xingyi Quan, he could not accept people with unknown backgrounds as his disciples. On the one hand, Qin Hao was unwilling to become a disciple before, which made the old man a little anxious.

On the one hand, it is also because Qin Hao is young, and a ten-year-old child is unlikely to commit adultery.

"My surname is Qin Hao, my given name is Zihan, my parents are both dead, and I am the only one left with me, Ah Fu." Qin Hao briefly explained the situation at home.

"Poor child." Li Cunyi sighed slightly, and smacked the table angrily: "These dog warlords know how to bully the people at gunpoint all day long, and they all pretend to be grandsons when facing foreigners!"

Even though the old man was seventy-one years old, he still had a fiery temper. When Qin Hao described the situation in his hometown, he wanted to chop up those warlords with his knife.

After a pause, Li Cunyi asked again in surprise: "You picked up a Chinese character at such a young age, but have you ever gone to school?"

"I have attended both private schools and modern schools for two years." Qin Hao really didn't make this up. The original owner's parents had just such a child. They hired a teacher to teach him since he was a child, and later sent him to the county school when he was seven years old.

When he was in elementary school, if it hadn't been for the military disaster later, he would most likely have been sent to study abroad.

"Write a few words and take a look."

"oh."

Qin Hao wrote a few words casually, deliberately making them sloppy, but even so, Li Cunyi was shocked.

"Okay, I didn't expect the old man to accept a disciple with both civil and military skills today!" Li Cunyi became more and more satisfied with Qin Hao.

After saying that, the old man turned his attention to Xue Dian.

"Look, your junior brother is only ten years old. Look at you again. Those words are like a dog scratching. You have the nerve to spend an hour every day starting from tomorrow to practice calligraphy with your junior brother!"

"Ah?" Xue Dian never thought that this unknown fire would burn on his head. When he thought of writing, he wilted completely. If he was asked to box, he would not be tired all day long, but as soon as he picked up the pen,

He felt it was heavier than holding a Daguan knife weighing several dozen kilograms.

"Ah what, that's it."

After Li Cunyi finished speaking, he ignored Xue Dian and finally began to teach Qin Hao the basics of Xingyiquan - the three-body posture.

"Don't underestimate this skill. All the strength of Xingyiquan comes from this. The whole body is relaxed, the head is like a hanging beam, and the shoulders naturally sink, making the muscles on both arms and back feel like they are falling. The mountain neck push begins.

, push the spine downwards section by section, until the sacrum. Then push the sacrum forward, turn it upward, and support the lower abdomen. The valley is retracted, which means that you can hold back the stool. This is called levator anus and kidney contraction.

Knees move inward together. Both hips hold force, ten toes grip the ground, palms collapse forward, and the heart retracts. Bend the knees as much as possible, and try to straighten the big tendons in the tail. When the strength of the whole body is combined, the inner energy rises.

....."

At first, Li Cunyi was worried that Qin Hao, who had high boxing attainments at a young age, would be impatient to practice this skill. Unexpectedly, Qin Hao was very diligent in learning and had a very high understanding. He only did many moves once, and Qin Hao

Hao can follow suit and do it in style. He only needs to make slight corrections on the side, which saves him a lot of energy.

At the same time, Xue Dian on the side was very shocked. He asked himself that he was gifted. His master and brothers said that he was a martial arts wizard who could only be seen in a century. However, when he first practiced the three-body stance skill, he was also wrong.

There are so many holes, it was the old man who took out the bamboo sticks and pulled them out one by one.

"Isn't this kid someone who has practiced before?" Xue Dian thought sourly.
