Chapter 24: The Difficulty of Martial Arts

Acting on a whim, Yin Ruxing quickly sewed the bag and pencil case, packed up the needle and thread. He spread the bed flat, wearing only his middle coat, and stepped on it with his bare feet.

Thanks to the girl in Tongfang, she has a high status now. There is a charcoal brazier in the room. The room is very warm, and it is not cold even when wearing medium clothes. Sitting cross-legged in a lotus position, which is said to be the most stable posture, with both knees on the floor

, spine straight.

The brochure says that 'Kundalini' is sleeping with its head buried. It is difficult to wake it up. First, all parts of the body must meet certain requirements. This requirement is to be able to perform various types of Hatha Yoga perfectly.

posture.

Ignore that for now. She has been taking yoga classes at the gym for more than a day or two, and she can do all the moves. Some of the extreme ones (such as headstands) will be discussed later.

Yin Ruxing then recalled. The brochure also said that breathing is a way to exchange fresh air from the outside world into the body. Breathing in different postures can nourish different body parts.

Well, she does know the breathing techniques. They are nothing more than chest breathing, abdominal breathing, complete chest and abdominal breathing, suspension breathing, etc. The trouble is that different postures are accompanied by different breathing. Who can remember such detailed things?

? During class, everyone seems to follow the instructor's movements. Inhale when the instructor asks, and exhale when the instructor asks. She can guarantee that no one except the instructor remembers these trivial breathing rates. What's more, what the gym instructor said

Is it necessarily correct? Who can guarantee that all of them are yoga masters?

She vaguely remembered that the brochure also said that some postures require suspending the breath during the performance. Suspending means taking a breath in the chest or abdominal cavity and holding it. This is called suspending breathing. More extreme ones include:

Some require breathing in through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, and some require breathing in through the mouth and exhaling through the nose. Breathing in and out through the left and right nostrils respectively, even if one nostril is blocked. God! How can she remember these fragmentary requirements?

This can only be put aside for now.

Next, there is 'Panda' and meditation. Damn it! She only remembers that 'Panda' means 'seal', which means to seal the energy in the body. It can better awaken Kundalini during meditation.

'.Oh, cake seller! The fantasy one is here, isn't it?

'Panda' doesn't have many moves, but she doesn't know any of them because the gym doesn't teach them (and the coach probably doesn't know either).

Sure enough, the chain dropped at the critical moment. Yin Ruxing meditated dryly for a while, feeling as if he was sitting still. The booklet said that meditation is to stop the mind and gaze into the heart. [Ye*] [*]

Is this really not a 'cult'? Or is it actually a branch of Buddhism. This is how monks meditate.

At the end of the booklet, it is mentioned: 'Om' is the true meaning of everything. As long as the sound of 'Om' is often uttered, the secrets of the universe can be communicated.

Damn it! I can’t blame her for thinking it was a heresy at first. How about trying it with someone else? Normal people should think so.

Yin Ruxing recited "Om" several times with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living doctor. The more he recited it, the more he felt like he was going crazy.

Feeling discouraged, I could only do a set of yoga movements and tried my best to remember how to breathe. It was considered as a physical exercise.

*****************

Early the next morning, she slung the bag she had prepared last night behind her back and went to the kitchen to have breakfast.

Sister-in-law Gan Jiu brought her a steaming breakfast with a smile, a bowl of bijing porridge, three small plates of side dishes, including pickled cucumbers, spicy and sour cabbage and soy sauce beef. There was also a plate of small buns with various fillings.

Yin Ruxing drank two bowls of porridge, ate all the side dishes, and stuffed four buns, namely shredded radish stuffing, three delicacies stuffing, mushroom minced meat stuffing and tofu skin stuffing. After eating, she thanked Gan Jiusao and went away warmly.

Come to Chisi Hall.

Wei Jinglun's attitude remained the same. But reading was not like practicing martial arts. Even though he was cold-faced, Yin Ruxing still learned a lot of new calligraphy. As an adult, she didn't need hand-to-hand instruction like Su Qian did when practicing calligraphy. She only needed to be given instructions.

This copybook just needs to explain the main points clearly. As for the main points of writing, firstly, she has the foundation to learn Chinese characters, and secondly, Su Lei has written to her before. It is not difficult to practice.

One stroke at a time on the paper. Practicing calligraphy is also a matter of cultivating the mind. Her stepfather once taught her that concentration is the first priority in everything. She needs to be immersed in her mind. I think he taught Yin Ruyan this way since she was a child. Yes, Yin Ruyan is six years old.

The early education children who memorize "The Analects of Confucius" at the age of seven and recite "Lao and Zhuang" at the age of seven have a different starting point from her, and their achievements are also completely different.

So, in the end, she was a rising star in politics. She only had the value of marriage.

After writing an article, turn it over.

In fact, it may not be so good after going back. Her position in the Yin family is still awkward, and she still faces the dilemma of getting married. (·~) Her stepfather is an old-fashioned man and will not allow her to remain single.

Even if Wang Jiacan is gone, she still has to get married. Marry a man she doesn't love...

But if she doesn't go back, her life will be even more miserable. She will be a slave and a maid, with no dignity.

Therefore, she still has to go back. Without love, at least she still has dignity and freedom.

I arrived at the kitchen of Mosiju at noon. I hurriedly finished my meal, wiped my mouth and rinsed my mouth. I took out pen, ink and paper and spread them on the table. I asked Sister-in-law Gan Jiu: "Sister-in-law Jiu, what do you want to write?"

Gan Jiusao smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "This letter is written to my little sister. I want to ask her how her life has been in the past few years. How many children have she given birth to? How is the family's livelihood? How well does her brother-in-law treat her..."

A big bunch.

Yin Ruxing hurriedly wrote down the words in simplified Chinese characters. They were all Gan Jiusao's original words. The correct writing and formatting required her to go back and rearrange them. I will ask Su Jing tomorrow about some characters that I don't know. After all, this is the first time I have written a letter for someone.

, it would be better to be more careful.

After memorizing it, she repeated it again: "Sister-in-law Jiu, I am thinking about it, are you talking about these things? I asked your little sister if she has been doing well in the past few years, how many children she has given birth to, and how her family's livelihood is...

…”

Gan Jiusao smiled and narrowed her eyes: "That's all..." Then she added a lot of bits and pieces, and she was still thinking about it until the moment before Yin Ruxing went to the martial arts field.

In the afternoon at the martial arts field, Master Guo continued to instruct Su Jing on Zhanzhuang: "Zhanzhuang is the breath of standing. This breath must be kept in the body and cannot be allowed to escape. This is vitality. A child with strong vitality is the result of practicing

When it's time, don't think about learning fists and kicks. Those are fighting moves. You can't train your inner strength. No matter how good you learn the moves, it's still a top-notch skill. You have to learn to control your own energy. You have to do this slowly and touch it.

The threshold is just fine.”

Keeping the vitality in the body and not letting it escape. Yin Ruxing raised his ears high. Could this be the same effect as 'Pang Da'?

Unfortunately, she didn't know the 'Pangda' posture, so she could only constantly adjust the posture of the stance, and calm down to feel the subtle differences in the spine under different adjustments.

The afternoon was particularly difficult. It was easy to wait until the end of get out of class was announced, but there was still no progress. Master Guo said to Su Jing: "If you have nothing to do, stand like this for a while every morning. You can also do it at night."

An excerpt from the brochure flashed through Yin Ruxing's mind: 'Pang Da' can be practiced at three times of the day: sunrise, noon, and sunset. It needs to be practiced on an empty stomach.

Damn you! She was so angry that she wanted to curse. Why can’t she remember the movements of ‘Pangda’? Why is there no ‘Baidu’ here! If she could return to modern society, she would definitely sign up to learn orthodox yoga or martial arts?

Thinking of this, she felt discouraged again. Some things in civilization have been circulated for too long and have been abridged into a version suitable for the public. Just like there are Tai Chi practitioners everywhere in the park, but there are very few people who can actually use Tai Chi to fight against the enemy.

Same. It is not so easy to find a way to grasp the essence left behind by the baptism of civilization.

On the way back, Su Jing told her a piece of news: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my second uncle went to inspect several border defense camps. He can always get back before the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. This is the case every year."

Yin Ruxing thanked him. No matter what the child's motives were for telling her this, at least for now, getting some martial arts tips from Su Lei was the most feasible way.

The way he looked at her was different from others. It was very subtle. There was a sense of emptiness in looking at another person through her face, and there was also the confusion of nostalgia. Although most of the time he looked at her coldly and didn't even want to look at her.

she.

Should we start with Su Lei? She ate her dinner and thought about it.

If she wants to make a move, she has to make Su Lei have a unique feeling for her. It doesn't have to be love, a substitute can also be used. At least, this feeling is enough for her to get valuable gains from him if the original one is not available.

.

Forget it, just take it one step at a time! You can't just be a substitute if you want to. If the person involved is unwilling, there's no point in shaving her head and choosing one end.

Back in the room, she started writing the letter from Sister Gan Jiu. The new characters she couldn't write were left blank. She wrote small simplified Chinese characters with a patterned graphite pen and made notes in the corner. After she finished writing, she checked it over and put it away.

Package. Continue to take off your shoes and go to bed to practice yoga movements and stretch your ligaments.

Purple-skinned Yuanguo's transformed body is extremely soft. In the past, she could only split her legs horizontally and vertically. Now with daily practice, she can slowly try to stand with one foot against the wall and move the other leg

Bend to the side and straighten. This is the side leg in dance movements. In addition, there are basic skills such as back legs, lower waist, lower waist, flat hips and other basic skills. The basic dance skills of Chinese dance are actually very similar to those of advanced yoga in one aspect.

It's similar, you can twist your body vigorously, wishing you could twist it into all kinds of weird shapes.

During the break on the second day, she took out the letter and asked Su Jing about the new words she didn't understand. Su Jing heard that she was writing letters for others and was very interested. Su Qian, who had been watching for two days, also curiously came over.

, the two children came up with ideas one by one. Yin Ruxing quickly finished the letter and copied it again.

At noon, I read to Gan Jiusao: "How is my little sister? Everything is going well for my sister in Jiangcheng. There is no need to worry about her. My father and mother are in good health and everything is fine at home... How is my little sister doing in Xicheng? How is the livelihood at home?"

Where is my brother-in-law on duty now..."

The letter was very long, and even the trivial incident of eating Laba porridge at home some time ago was recorded. Gan Jiusao’s face turned into a smile. After she finished reading, she touched the letter again and again before putting it in the envelope:

"Girl Ru, thank you."

"It's nothing." Yin Ruxing said politely, "Sister-in-law Jiu also takes care of me a lot on weekdays, so it's only right that she do her best."

Sister-in-law Gan Jiu happily took a box of snacks and said, "Girl, you work hard every day in school, so take these snacks home for midnight snack."

"Ah! Sister-in-law Jiu is so thoughtful." Yin Ruxing accepted it with a smile, "Sister-in-law Jiu's craftsmanship is so good. I've been craving for it."

"What's here? Tell Sister-in-law Jiu what you want to eat later." Sister-in-law Gan's tone became more and more enthusiastic.

This incident was like a beginning. Soon, other people in the kitchen, including the steward Wang, asked if they could write letters for them. Yin Ruxing agreed one by one. In this letter, the words she recognized

There are more and more, and the memory becomes stronger and stronger. By the time all the letters are written, she has enough vocabulary to read some simple books.

Su Jing and Su Qian both had these elementary school reading materials. Su Qian was learning gradually, but Su Jing no longer needed them, so he generously lent them to Yin Ruxing. Yin Ruxing's learning method was: repeated recitation and copying. In this way,

Killing three birds with one stone. I learned knowledge, practiced calligraphy, and had a copy of my own book. Although the handwriting is a bit ugly.

As for martial arts training, it's still the same. She can't touch the threshold. But her body's flexibility has been fully opened. Surprisingly, this body has become very rare. Some moves can only be done by acrobats. She now

I was able to master it just by practicing. It was really unexpected.

Time flew by so quickly, and Su Jing's words were accurate. On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the three of them took annual leave and stopped attending classes and practicing martial arts. On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Lei returned home.
