Chapter 15: Strengthening the body and entering the Tao with Qi and blood
As mentioned above, it is quite impressive, but the last analogy...
Isn’t that just a lack of status?
Xie Yuan cursed in his heart, but he certainly did not dare to say it out.
After all, there are three martial arts schools in Panlong Town, but Tieyimen ranks third.
Most people who want to learn martial arts have a restless heart. Compared with this iron cloth shirt that has been beaten, boxing and sword skills are definitely more popular.
However, Xie Yuan also understood what his disciples meant. The Iron Clothes Sect had many disciples, was famous, and was quite influential in Panlong Town;
Prajna Temple was considered the most important in the entire Dali Dynasty. The largest force in the world is the top sect.
He wrote down the name. This was the first time he had an understanding of the upper powers of this world.
The disciple who welcomed the guests was still talking non-stop:
"... Master Liu has a close relationship with Prajna Temple, so he learned the iron cloth shirt with Buddhist charm. He made a name for himself, established a martial arts school, and recruited many disciples.
"Brother, I learned the iron shirt sect. If you wear an iron shirt, you will learn a little bit about the golden bell of Prajna Temple; entering the iron shirt gate is almost equivalent to worshiping in Prajna Temple! "
...Can you do this equation?
It sounds so exciting!
Xie Yuan felt that this disciple was really good at speaking, so he arranged to greet guests at the door. It can be considered that Tieyimen knows people and makes good use of them.
"What origins and Buddhist rhymes are probably just blowing. Then if Master Liu is really a disciple of Prajna Temple, even if he is just a lay disciple and can join the top sect, he will not be just a second practitioner and open a martial arts gym in this poor and remote place.
“But it doesn’t matter how you blow it. He can open a restaurant and accept disciples, so there should be something in this skill. Getting started in martial arts begins with skin training. Iron Bu Shi Kung is not necessarily cheap to get started with, but I have already made up my mind. "
Xie Yuan thought in his heart.
He had almost asked the question, and he had already planned it, so he bowed his hands to the disciple:
"I don’t know if I want to worship him. What is the process of practicing martial arts in Guimen? ”
The gray-clothed disciple's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Simple, follow me!"
He led Xie Yuan into the courtyard. Inside the courtyard was a large open space used for In the martial arts arena, many disciples were practicing at this time.
Xie Yuan and the disciples in gray clothes walked from the martial arts field to the courtyard. He was looking at the disciples curiously. The disciples in gray clothes asked:
"Brother, my name is Cao Shan , what do you call him? ”
"Hello, Senior Brother Cao, my name is Xie Yuan, and I come from Xiaoshi Village."
"Xiaoshi Village, that's not far."
Cao Shan took Xie Yuan into a study room and asked the accountant to The gentleman registered and made a register and received eleven taels of silver.
When Xie Yuan gave away the large silver ingot, he was quite heartbroken, but he gave up thinking that he could get in touch with martial arts.
Saving money is also for practicing martial arts in order to change your destiny.
"Okay, Junior Brother Xie, you are already a disciple of my Iron Clothes Sect. The process is really not difficult, right?"
Cao Shan patted Xie Yuan and said with a smile.
“It’s just...it’s really simple.”
Xie Yuan said. He thought there would be some kind of apprenticeship ceremony, but he didn't expect that it was just a matter of paying money. It was so convenient that he felt like he had been cheated.
Cao Shan seemed to know what he was thinking and explained:
"Thank you, junior brother. There are three types of disciples in our Iron Clothes Sect: registered disciples, core disciples, and direct disciples.
"Those like you who pay eleven taels of silver to learn from our master are all registered disciples. You also know that it is actually just paying money to learn martial arts. In fact, there are not many restrictions, so there are not many rules.
“Although core disciples also have to pay money, it doesn’t cost much. It’s more about daily food expenses, support for martial arts gym expenses, and money for medicinal baths and tonics. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to learn kung fu.
“The core disciples are those who have been selected by the master, have certain talents, and are willing to practice in the Iron Clothes Sect. As soon as you enter the door, you will share weal and woe with the martial arts gym. I am the core disciple.
"There are also direct disciples. Needless to say, they are all direct disciples of the sect leader. They are masters, not masters. Those who will inherit the mantle of the sect leader and provide for him in his old age are treated as heirs. Learn martial arts, eat and drink, Naturally, the tonic baths are all arranged by the master, not to mention the master’s real skills, which are only taught personally
"But if you want to be a direct disciple, your cultivation talent and personal conduct are indispensable, and even more than that - talent and personality, but also the sect master's appetite."
Cao Shan sighed with emotion in his tone, and his envy could not be expressed. And metaphor.
Xie Yuan nodded, the organizational structure is very clear and reasonable.
If you can become the core, or even pass it on personally, you will have to save a lot of money...
But everything has a price. Although the core and direct disciples can learn martial arts for free, they also bear more responsibilities. He stopped thinking about it and asked Cao Shandao:
"Senior Brother Cao, when can I start practicing martial arts?"
"You come back the day after tomorrow. There will be a group of registered disciples who have just started the day after tomorrow. You just happen to be together."
Cao Shan said.
Xie Yuan nodded, cupped his fists and said:
"Okay. Senior Brother Cao, if nothing happens, I'll take my leave now."
"Thank you, Junior Brother, see you the day after tomorrow."
Send Xie Yuan to the door and wait for him to leave. Cao Shan stood at the door and thought:
"Junior brother Xie is polite to others and looks very talented. He is not like him at all. The characters who grew up in the mountain village are quite likable.
“It’s just that with such a background, there is little hope of making a comeback by practicing martial arts... Learning martial arts is not an easy task, but martial arts schools are also very popular. I can't say much about relying on them to generate income... Seeing him rummaging through broken silver, hey, I don't recommend the side room medicinal soup.
"I just hope that when Junior Brother Xie leaves the martial arts gym in three months, he won't have to worry about hard training and hurt his body and bones. Then I will explain it to him properly."
Two days later.
Xie Yuan came to Tieyimen early in the morning and saw four people in the school grounds, looking excited.
The four of them were also dressed in very ordinary clothes, not much different from him. The best one just looked like an ordinary person.
Xie Yuan understood that these were all new registered disciples.
I don’t know how many of them got what they wanted in the end, even though they emptied their fortunes?
In addition to the five of them, Cao Shan and another strong man were standing in the school field.
The strong man was dressed in black, which was not thick and even looked a little thin in the winter morning. But his face was rosy and he seemed completely unaware of the cold weather.
Seeing that everyone was here, Cao Shan said loudly:
"To all the new junior brothers, let me introduce to you. This is the senior brother of our Iron Clothes Sect, Brother Huo Dahuo. . He is the master's direct disciple, a master of martial arts training. The master will regularly guide you in your future practice, but most of the time, it will be Senior Brother Huo who will teach you."
One practice, warrior!
The man in front of me, who doesn’t look too old, turns out to be a warrior.
A few people looked solemn and greeted each other:
“I have met Senior Brother Huo!”
Huo Da looked a little unsmiling. He nodded, opened his mouth and spoke in a voice like Hong Zhong:
"You are all just starting out, so you probably don't know much about martial arts.
"In the entry-level stage, a martial artist tempers his body, nourishes his energy, and then strengthens his skin, flesh, muscles, and bones, from the outside to the inside, and then Strengthening qi and blood goes round and round, constantly climbing.
"You may not understand what you hear now, but it doesn't matter. Martial arts are practiced, not taught, so we will practice them first and then explain them. If you have any questions later, feel free to ask Senior Brother Cao or me. Okay.
“Now, I will teach you how to practice my Iron Clothes Men and Iron Cloth Shirts, starting from the pile exercises, three static and three moving, a total of six routines. Let me demonstrate it first so you can see clearly. ”
Hoda put on his posture, twisted his waist and bucked his horse, assuming various postures.
Either a hard bridge or a hard horse, standing still; or raising hands and feet, turning continuously.
Xie Yuan and several other disciples hurriedly followed the example and memorized it carefully, while Cao Shan watched from the side, always helping them raise their hands and kick their legs to prevent their posture from being messed up and hurting themselves.
When Hoda finished the drill, several disciples were already covered in sweat, gasping and lamenting:
“It’s so difficult!”
“This posture is impossible to do. Don’t come out!”
"Waist, my waist is twisted..."
Xie Yuan was also very jerky for the first time and felt the same way:
"This body has never practiced martial arts, it is too stiff. Think again It might be a bit difficult to get started in a short time.
“When I started practicing Iron Clothing Shirt, I thought I would have to hit a tree and get hit with a stick, but I ended up getting started with the Zhuang Kung Fu. Use Zhuang Kung Fu to strengthen the body and Qi and blood, and then use Qi and blood to strengthen the body and train the skin, flesh, muscles and bones as he said? Being beaten is just external skill, and the latter is the true path of a warrior? ”
He was thoughtful and had a basic concept of martial arts.
At this moment, words appeared in front of me.
【Qi and blood strengthen the body to enter the martial arts, you have enlightenment. ]
