“Do you become more courageous the more frustrated you become?”
The corners of Liu Carpenter's mouth curled up slightly. Then he turned his palms again, only to find eight square nails clamped between his fingers. He said in a calm tone, "For the second strike, I'll hit you in Zhongfu, Tiantu, Zigong, Tanzhong, Guanyuan, and Feng."
Use eight acupuncture points at Fu, Weizhong, and Chengshan, and use two points of force on each...see the move!"
When Yang Chaoxi saw him move his hands, he moved sideways to the north. But he became suspicious in his heart:
The five acupoints "Zhongfu, Tiantu, Zigong, Tanzhong, and Guanyuan" are all in front of the torso, so they can be targeted. But the three acupoints "Fengfu, Weizhong, and Chengshan" are located at the back of the head.
, knees bent, calves, unless you turn around, will Brother Liu's square nails still be able to turn in the air?
As soon as the thought came to an end, I heard a few "puff" sounds and felt a pain in the "Fengfu point" on the back of my head. I felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Immediately, pain came from several other acupoints on the body, but there was no way out.
Distinguish where exactly you got hit.
It turned out that among Carpenter Liu's eight square nails, three of them had already calculated the flipping angle and force. The bare nail tails directly hit the wall, making shallow pits. It was with the help of this rebound force that
The round nail head hits the three acupuncture points of "Fengfu, Weizhong, and Chengshan", and there is no discomfort at all!
Yang Zhaoxi rubbed the painful Fengfu point, and a lump the size of a thumb had swelled up. When the dizziness subsided a little, she discovered that the Weizhong point on the back of her left leg and the Chengshan point were also affected at the same time, and the entire calf was affected.
It was sore and numb, and it was very difficult to stand up.
Only then did he recall that Carpenter Liu’s technique just now was based on the rebounding power of the wall, hitting the acupuncture points without bias or bias. It was truly a miraculous skill. So he held on to the wall and stood up again: "Let's do it again..."
It was night, and Yang Zhaoxi was like a moving target. He didn’t know how many square pegs he had eaten from Carpenter Liu. He felt that every part of his body was in pain, and every acupuncture point was sore. In the end, he didn’t even have the strength to get up. Carpenter Liu seemed to be
Xiaofeixiao glanced at him and said that he had finished teaching today and would teach the throwing technique again tomorrow night. Then he threw him in the darkroom and went out of the darkroom on his own.
Yang Zhaoxi leaned against the corner and wanted to curse a few words, but found that the "cheekche, daying, and dicang" on the right side of his face were extremely sore and swollen. As soon as he opened his mouth, half of his face felt sore, swollen, burning, and numb.
Even tears were squeezed out, and I was in so much pain that I didn't want to live.
He wanted to force himself to sleep, but there were dozens of acupuncture points all over his body, like burning, needle pricks, or insect bites, always reminding him of the unavoidable pain. So he even gave up sleeping, and could only stare and stare.
The whale oil lamp in the southwest corner opposite is fascinating.
After enduring this for more than half an hour, Liu Carpenter, who thought he was going to sleep, turned back. Without any explanation, he picked him up on his back and walked straight to the dark room. The pain made him twitch all over and even his moans changed their tone.
, worse than the howling of ghosts and wolves.
After a while, he returned to the hut where Yang Zhaoxi had been sleeping these past few days. He held up an oil lamp inside the hut and saw a wooden basin with a diameter of three feet and a height of more than five feet. The hot air rose in the basin, and the fragrance of the medicine spread.
For example, the "Bath Orchid Soup" recorded in "Chu Ci" can't help but marvel.
But before he could continue his "examination", Carpenter Liu peeled him off, just like peeling off a rice dumpling, and threw him into the wooden basin.
"Hiss! Ah——"
Yang Zhaoxi screamed, feeling as if she had been thrown into a frying pan. From all directions, there was burning heat and severe pain that was tearing apart the flesh! It seemed that only one thought was left outside the basin, and the whole body was in endless torment.
In the middle, one face was even more twisted in pain, looking frightened, angry, crying, and smiling...
Carpenter Liu stood aside, letting him struggle and flutter in the wooden basin, with water splashing everywhere, and his expression remained calm. When his struggle gradually stopped, he stretched out a hand, poked into the wooden basin, and murmured to himself:
"It's obviously not hot...it's much cooler than the water used by Lao Zheng to remove hair from pigs..."
Yang Chaoxi was covered in pink, as bright as a peach blossom. She was breathing heavily and staring at Carpenter Liu with a face filled with resentment, her eyes seemed to pop out of her eyes.
Liu Carpenter also stared at his eyes, without fear, with a touch of mockery on his face. Suddenly he turned his head, patted his forehead and said: "I remember... I need to take a dip in my head! Otherwise, I will just wake up tomorrow morning.
I'm afraid that my mouth and eyes will be crooked, which will not be handsome..."
As he spoke, he suddenly opened his big hand and pressed Yang Chaoxi's head, which was full of smoke, into the "lan soup" with a strong medicinal aroma.
Each time, Liu Carpenter pressed his head for a few breaths, then released the pressure, letting him come out of the water to breathe; then he continued to press roughly, and pressed his head into the "Lan Tang" again... and so on.
, as if playing.
After a long time, Yang Zhaoxi was completely convinced. Like a thin dog that had fallen into the water, he lay on the edge of the basin, opening his mouth and tongue, gasping for air. He looked at Carpenter Liu who was sitting by the basin, with a sad look on his face.
Liu Carpenter finally showed a pleased smile: "Young Master Yang! Are you feeling better? Liu's pot of 'Gui Shao Zhimu Decoction' can be used both externally and internally. It is best used to heal acupuncture points. It is made from cinnamon twigs,
White peony root, aconite, anemarrhena, ephedra, ginger, atractylodes, and saposhnikovia are decoctioned with several good herbs. The efficacy is beyond doubt..."
Yang Chaoxi immediately wanted to cry without tears: "But, but, Brother Liu! You just pushed Xiaodao into the soup. He took too much 'orally', so he couldn't help it and drowned in the soup... But you didn't stop,
I pushed the path in again... now it's time to reap the consequences..."
Carpenter Liu immediately jumped up, fanned his nose and said: "No wonder Liu always feels that there is a sour smell in the soup... Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Liu is going to wash his hands..."
After saying that, he walked out of the hut without looking back, leaving only Yang Zhaoxi and a pot of "added ingredients" Guishao Zhimu soup, messy in the mist...
At nightfall the next day, all the soreness, swelling and pain on Yang Chaoxi's body were healed. So he changed his clothes again and followed Carpenter Liu to the darkroom.
Carpenter Liu's face was as dull as ever, he raised his eyes and said seriously: "Young Master Yang! Before Liu teaches you the method of 'iron nail acupuncture', he must first make it clear to you that although my square nail was born out of the hidden weapon of the Diancang sect of Nanzhao Kingdom,
The door nail is not a sinister hidden weapon. It is only used to punch holes, not to kill people. I hope that after you learn it, you will not use it for evil! Otherwise, if I know about it, I will take your life!"
Yang Chaoxi immediately raised his hands in salute and said: "Xiao Dao is determined not to dare! If you have this magical skill and do something unjust, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
Carpenter Liu nodded and said: "The key to throwing concealed weapons is nothing more than three words: 'quick, ruthless, and accurate', so that one's side can win quickly. So each sect in the world tried their own way, whether to strengthen their arms or practice their inner breath.
Pour it into the hidden weapon. Although the methods are different, they all need to be practiced day and night, regardless of the cold or heat. This is because once the hidden weapon is released, it will be quick and fast, hit the vital point, and kill the enemy instantly."
When Yang Chaoxi heard this, she was greatly impressed and couldn't help but nod her head.
Unexpectedly, Carpenter Liu changed his subject, but shook his head and said: "Liu actually thinks that all schools and methods are all about abandoning the basics and chasing the weak. He has never understood the secret weapon!"
Yang Zhaoxi couldn't help but wonder: "Then, according to what Brother Liu said, what is the way to use hidden weapons?"
Liu Carpenter seemed to have an unanswered question: "Yang Shaoxia was born in a Taoist sect, so he believed deeply in the principles of the 'five elements'. However, he did not know that the Taoist sect also had a theory of the 'four major' cycles, which were called 'earth, water, fire, and wind', which constituted the world of mortals.
.Earth is for holding, water is for capturing and gathering, fire is for ripening and changing, and wind is for light movement. The key to the way of concealed weapons mentioned by Liu lies in the word 'wind'."
Yang Chaoxi seemed to have some realization in his heart, but he didn't know if he was deviating from what he was thinking. He asked, "Could it be that Brother Liu, this square peg, can 'walk in the wind'?!"
Carpenter Liu laughed: "Young Master Yang, don't be naughty! What Liu means is that if you want to practice concealed weapons, you must regard 'wind' as the most important thing, observe it, feel it, identify it, and think about it. It needs to be understood.
Success comes from the wind. Since the wind is my friend, I can use it as a hidden weapon. For example, when a square nail comes out, it seems invisible, traceless, shadowless and soundless. This is the reason for the change of riding the wind."
Yang Zhaoxi suddenly realized: "No wonder Brother Liu is so hard to trace once he shoots out the square pegs, and there is no way to avoid them! Last night, Brother Liu threw out several square pegs, and not one of them could escape from the path. At the worst time, even
It hit the eighth acupuncture point, and when I think about it now, I still feel scared."
When Liu Carpenter saw that he had understood something, he suddenly felt cherished for his talent, and immediately said: "Since we want to 'take advantage of the changes of the wind', we should know the 'method of recognizing the wind'. Just now Liu said 'observation, feeling,
The four-character formula "discriminate and think" is the only way to "know wind". Looking at the world of China, Liu is probably the first person who can understand the mystery of wind and make it his own use.
Ha ha ha ha!"
After speaking, Carpenter Liu laughed several times, but it didn't sound arrogant. Instead, there was a bold and arrogant air that emanated from his simple brown clothes.
Yang Zhaoxi was already a little anxious: "Brother Liu, how do you 'recognize the wind'? Please teach me quickly!"
Carpenter Liu twirled his beard and looked at Yang Chaoxi again:
"Know the wind, know the wind! The first thing to do is to 'watch the wind'! For example, in the room, if the lights are swaying, the curtains are moving, there is wind; for example, outside the courtyard, yellow dust is rising, and the branches are swaying and the leaves are moving, there is also wind.
Wind. There are four seasons of the year, and there are four types of winds. The east wind blows in spring, the south wind blows in summer, the west wind blows in autumn, and the north wind blows in winter... All these are the winds that can be observed with the eyes, which is called "watching the wind".
"Observing the wind" can tell the general trend. But the wind is cold, the wind is warm, the wind is strong and slow, but it cannot be experienced personally. It can be felt carefully, which is "feeling the wind". It is also like this dark room, although there are no windows on six sides.
But it is not airtight, so the lights are swaying. But where does the wind come from, where does it pass, and where does it stop, you need to think carefully and observe it carefully. In order to be ready to take action, you will have an idea.
'Feeling the wind' is just like chatting. You need to ask the wind beside you clearly, 'Where are you coming from? Where do you want to go? How long will you stay here?' Once you understand the ins and outs of the wind, you need to start 'distinguishing the wind'. Notes
Wind is not only wet and dry, cold and warm, rapid and slow, but it can also be straight or bent, bending or turning. There are also intermittent winds, rising winds, dragon-whirlwind winds, and waning winds...
You must examine them one by one.
'Distinguishing the wind' is just like recognizing people, no matter they are loyal, treacherous, dull or cunning, only by distinguishing them clearly can you be skillful. If you have a small success in 'distinguishing the wind', this 'method of identifying the wind' will be 90% successful! What's left is
The next ten percent is 'thinking about the wind'. For example, on this hot summer day, the wind comes from the south. If I fight with others, I will think about how to occupy the due south position, and then throw the iron nails with the wind, just in line with the wind. Then
It is difficult for people to notice, the sound of nails breaking through the wind..."
The more Yang Zhaoxi listened, the more surprised he became. He had never expected that a martial arts practitioner could understand Feng so thoroughly!
