Chapter 33: The Competition of Learning Martial Arts and Training
Chapter 33: Martial Arts Training Competition
Liu Zhang did not dare to be careless. He knew that his talent was not good, so he watched Tong Yuan's every move carefully. He did not want to understand every move, but wanted to write down all these moves. About half of the time passed
At this time, Tong Yuan put away his gun and stood upright, standing proudly in the courtyard, with an aura like a mountain. After Tong Yuan withdrew his move, Liu Zhang immediately stood with his eyes closed, recalling every move Tong Yuan used. Another half passed.
At that moment, Liu Zhang opened his eyes, and he had the Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear deeply engraved in his heart.
Qualification is actually a very general thing. Comprehension, mind, physical strength, etc. are all part of the qualification. But people who practice martial arts pay most attention to physical fitness. After all, if you want martial arts to reach a certain level, you have to start practicing from a young age. If you pass
Once you have reached the age of practicing martial arts, no matter how good your understanding and mind are, it will not help. But how many people can see these conditions of understanding and mind at a young age? Therefore, when some powerful warriors choose their apprentices, they first look at physical fitness.
They will only accept disciples if they are physically strong, otherwise they will only give them guidance.
Liu Zhang's physical fitness is not considered good, at most above average. He is not like Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others who have natural supernatural powers, but he has super high understanding and super memory. In his previous life, Liu Zhang relied on his extraordinary
His memory is outstanding in learning, and with his keen observation and super understanding, he has learned the intrigues in the book. As for perseverance, Liu Zhang has never lacked it. A person can practice hard while studying hard.
If you say he lacks perseverance in martial arts, no one will believe it!
Unfortunately, what Liu Zhang has is not something that can be seen at a glance, which is why Tong Yuan tested him. In terms of physical fitness, Tong Yuan really couldn't be interested in teaching him martial arts. If it weren't for Liu Zhang's chivalrous heart
, plus there is Shi A by his side, it is estimated that Tong Yuan can give him two days of guidance. As for the test time of one month, Tong Yuan just wants to let Liu Zhang learn the whole set of Hundred Birds toward the Phoenix Spear like Zhang Xiu.
After all, Liu Zhang was not a good disciple in Tong Yuan's mind! The Hundred Birds Chao Feng Spear was just the basic marksmanship required to be Tong Yuan's apprentice.
Seeing Liu Zhang open his eyes, Tong Yuan took out a wooden gun and said: "How many have you remembered just now? Come out and see!"
Taking the wooden spear, Liu Zhang started to play with one move after another in a methodical manner. In Tong Yuan's opinion, given the complexity of the Bainiaochaofeng Spear, if Liu Zhang could use ten moves in one look, he would be considered a genius; if he could use twenty moves
, even if he has a profound understanding, if he has used more than thirty moves, he can be called a genius. But as time passes by, Liu Zhang has no intention of stopping at all, and the fight is about to end. What kind of understanding is this?
"Master, the disciple is finished!" When Tong Yuan was stunned, Liu Zhang put away his gun and stood up. Although his momentum was not as strong as Tong Yuan's, it was still outstanding. Of course, Liu Zhang only watched it once, and there were still many shortcomings in his actions.
"Alas!" Tong Yuan sighed and said, "What a pity... what a pity..."
Tong Yuan's words made Liu Zhang uneasy. After all, his marksmanship was copied. Many of the moves were forcibly performed by him and were not in place. Liu Zhang said weakly: "Master, if there is something that my disciple did not do well, please tell me directly."
, if it’s not right, you can just give me a beating!”
Tong Yuan looked at his domineering little apprentice with such an expression. He couldn't help but touch his head and said: "You have done very well, very well! It has exceeded my expectations as a teacher. I just feel it is a pity.
If your physical fitness were better, or if you had natural supernatural powers, you might be able to become the top general of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Zhang asked in astonishment: "Master, what is the state of a top military general?"
"Top-notch!" Tong Yuan thought for a while and said: "One point beyond being a teacher, similar to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu four hundred years ago!"
"Then I would rather not be a top military general!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Master can never reach a limit. It is said that the strongest is easy to break, and the strongest is weak. Only the combination of yin and yang can you achieve yourself!"
"Yin and Yang complement each other?" Tong Yuan suddenly had a realization, and kept thrusting out the spear in his hand. However, the original fast and fierce shooting skills became unremarkable, even a little slow and clumsy. Suddenly, Tong Yuan laughed loudly.
He smiled and said: "No wonder people say that the king of spears is the most difficult to master. My good disciple, you have actually understood the realm of martial arts. Yes, yes! I actually made a mistake!"
"Master, it's not that I have understood the realm of martial arts, it's just that I don't know how I learned a set of boxing, and the meaning of the boxing in that set of boxing is like this!" Liu Zhang smiled and recited the Tai Chi rules, and it was this boxing.
Tong Yuan was shocked. You know, as a martial arts master, Tong Yuan has already explored some principles similar to Tai Chi, such as moving a thousand pounds with four ounces. But now someone actually came up with a set that is more perfect than him.
, a more systematic boxing classic, the martial arts principles in it were something he had never heard of, and the person who spoke out these principles was still his apprentice. Even if Tong Yuan had practiced to the point where he was not shocked by favors and humiliations, and his mind was as calm as water, he would still be shocked.
It's like a person who has just made a hand grenade, only to find that his apprentice is making an atomic bomb. Although the two are not the same, the impact they receive is similar.
"Disciple, do you really not know where this boxing manual comes from?" Tong Yuan looked at Liu Zhang very seriously and said: "This boxing technique is a unique skill. If you have learned it secretly, it is better not to use it.
To prevent others from seeking revenge!"
"Master, don't worry, this set of boxing techniques is my original creation, and no one will seek revenge!" Liu Zhang understood Tong Yuan's thoughts. The founder of Tai Chi was just a few hundred years away from being born. By then, the title of Tai Chi Grandmaster would be
It has already fallen on Liu Zhang!
Tong Yuan frowned and said, "Don't you know the origin of this boxing technique? How can you be so confident?"
"Although I don't know the origin of this boxing technique, I know one thing. This boxing technique has been in my mind before I was born!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The first time I practiced martial arts, I used it unknowingly.
, it is already similar to my instinct. Master, in this case, is it possible to learn from others?"
"This..." Tong Yuan said in shock: "Is this a boxing technique taught by heaven?"
Liu Zhang shook his head and shrugged to express that he didn't know. Tong Yuan looked at Liu Zhang carefully and said, "Good disciple, I will officially accept you as my disciple. However, after a while, I will find a place to settle down and teach you marksmanship in detail.
You don’t need to practice the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear first, just practice the basic marksmanship first!”
The basic gun skills include piercing, collapsing, hitting, piercing, splitting, circling, picking, poking, stabbing, tarting, attacking, entangling, blocking, taking, jumping, dancing and other basic movements. Like the most famous moves in Bainiaochaofengqiang
, the phoenix nodding its head three times, and the silver snake spitting its core, are all spliced together from these basic movements. If you can train all these movements to resemble instinctive reactions, even if you don't know any spear moves, you will still be a master of the spear! Of course, there has been no practice since ancient times.
No one can do it, so various schools of spearmanship have emerged. In fact, all spearmanship is inseparable from the above actions.
In the eyes of the wealthy family, Liu Zhang is a overlord, but in front of the teacher, Liu Zhang is a good boy. Hearing that Tong Yuan asked him to train basic marksmanship, Liu Zhang had no doubts. In his opinion, the teacher would never harm him. Looking at Liu Zhang
With an expression on his face, Tong Yuan once again felt a trace of regret. It would be great if Liu Zhang's physical fitness were stronger!
Tong Yuan stayed in Liu Yan's mansion for a month before leaving. During this month, Liu Zhang benefited a lot. Now Liu Zhang can defeat the tough soldiers in the army without any martial arts, just basic marksmanship. Before leaving, Tong Yuan also told Liu Zhang,
He would find some genius treasures to strengthen Liu Zhang's body, which made Liu Zhang very happy. After Tong Yuan left, Liu Zhang still did not slack off and practiced diligently every day. Looking at the diligent Liu Zhang, Huang Xu, Shi A and others were all excited
I felt a little pressure.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the competition that Liu Zhang and Yan Yan had agreed upon. Although in the last month, Huang Zhong's soldiers not only trained to walk and stand, but also began to learn attacking techniques, in Yan Yan's view, only
One month of training was nothing compared to his three months of teaching. So Yan Yan wanted to cancel the competition to give Liu Zhang face, but Liu Zhang was so confident, how could he cancel it?
On the Jixian campus, Liu Yan was sitting in the main seat, while Jixian officials were sitting aside! The news about the competition between Liu Zhang and Yan Yan had already spread throughout Jixian County. I thought that it would be cancelled, but unexpectedly it happened
It was really a competition. After Liu Yan gave an order, Liu Zhang and Yan Yan each brought a thousand men into the field. But as soon as the soldiers from both sides entered, all the officials were shocked. It turned out that Yan Yan's thousand men were thirty
He was a strong man about 1,000 years old, and Liu Zhang's thousand men were actually half old soldiers and teenagers! Of course, the one thousand men Liu Zhang led were commanded by Huang Zhong.
As soon as the two sides entered the scene, the officials present were in an uproar because of the quality of their troops. The performance of both sides after entering was even more shocking. The soldiers led by Yan Yan and Liu Zhang's soldiers were very disdainful, whispering to each other, and muttering.
Repeated restraints continued. On the contrary, Liu Zhang's troops stood meticulously without making even the slightest sound!
"Mountainless as a Mountain!" There was a trace of surprise in Yan Yan's eyes, but he still disdained Liu Zhang's training methods. Yan Yan secretly thought in his heart: "What's the use of being as motionless as a mountain with this empty posture?"
Following Liu Yan's order, the competition began!
"Shield! Spear! Advance!" Huang Zhong ordered loudly. The young men in the front row set up large shields, while the old soldiers in the back row raised their spears. The troops moved in an orderly manner, but the formation was not chaotic.
Yan Yan took a breath of cold air. The elite level of Liu Zhang's troops had exceeded his imagination. However, he still had a sense of luck. After all, even elite troops who had never seen blood were limited. Yan Yan raised his head
