Chapter 13: How Many Moves Do You Still Remember?
"Xiao, Xiaoyu, have you really memorized all the Baguazhang I demonstrated just now?"
Uncle Jiu looked at Lin Yu with an expression of disbelief.
Lin Yu stopped what he was doing, stood aside obediently and nodded gently.
"Good boy, come on, hit me again and show me."
Lin Yu nodded, turned his hands over, stepped out with his front foot, and took up his posture again.
In this small space, I walked in a circle with my footsteps, and my hands kept moving.
To say that meaning is like a fluttering flag, energy is like moving clouds, swirling and turbulent, movement and stillness are round and supportive, hardness and softness complement each other, strangeness and uprightness complement each other, Lin Yu is really far behind.
There is no use for the charm of Baguazhang.
Even the movements of the hands are not very skilled, and sometimes there are some pauses and unfamiliarity.
I just barely followed the rules of Baguazhang. To say that I really grasped the essence, if not to say that I didn't at all, it would be like burning books and trapping scholars...
But just such an unfamiliar move made Uncle Jiu so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Watching Lin Yu walk again, Qiu Sheng was already greatly shocked, dumbfounded and in disbelief.
It's not because I just watched Uncle Jiu boxing. Children imitate it quickly, so it can be used. Lin Yu played it a second time, and it was obvious that he had really learned this trick.
The great shock made Qiu Sheng feel devastated for a moment, his head was empty, his mind was blank, and his eyes seemed to have lost focus.
"Hey, how many tricks do you remember?"
Wen Cai gently poked Qiu Sheng's waist with his index finger, which brought Qiu Sheng back to his senses.
Facing Wencai's curious inquiry, Qiu Sheng couldn't wrap his mind around it for a while.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't understand what he said, so he just answered subconsciously.
"I've forgotten all about it."
"ah?!"
Wencai was shocked.
He opened his mouth wide and stared at Qiusheng with wide eyes.
"Have you forgotten everything about being so powerful? Then haven't you already reached the highest level of practice?"
Qiu Sheng turned around with a blank expression and looked at Wen Cai with dull eyes.
?
"ah?"
He had no idea what nonsense Wen Cai was talking about.
Shocked by Wen Cai's move, Uncle Jiu also came back to his senses.
He put his hands behind his back, straightened his upper body, and the shocked expression on his face was gone, replaced only by a slight smile.
He nodded steadily.
"Xiao Yu, you can stop. You did a good job."
To be fair, Lin Yu didn't play well, and he wasn't even as good as Wencai.
But coupled with the prerequisite that the moon has just been full, it is really shocking.
Uncle Jiu turned around and scolded the two incompetent apprentices with a straight face.
"Why are you so surprised? Such a big man has no composure at all!"
"Didn't I teach you what it means to not be surprised when things change?"
"Xiao Yu has the destiny of a noble person, and he has been blessed by his ancestor. He is a genius in his own right. Isn't it natural to have such a talent? Why is it worth such a fuss? I have never seen the world."
Sometimes he lectured Wencai and Qiu Sheng as if nothing had happened.
"ah?"
Wencai was dumbfounded.
"No, Master..."
"Nothing? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Uncle Jiu raised his voice gently and suppressed Wencai's words.
Wencai lowered his head timidly, scratched the back of his head helplessly, and curled his lips where Uncle Jiu couldn't see.
'Master just saw his second junior brother practicing boxing, and he was almost frightened to death. Obviously I am the one who is the most calm in situations. ’
Uncle Jiu was not in the mood to pay attention to their thoughts.
Seeing Lin Yu getting into a stance again, as if he wanted to fight again, he quickly spoke in a gentle tone.
"Hey~, it's okay, it's okay. My good boy, that's all. You've worked hard and that's it for today. Let's rest first."
"When practicing Qigong, it is important to learn how to balance work and rest, and not to practice hard."
Uncle Jiu gave him some advice.
I am quite envious of the literary talents I read.
It was only when he had just started to receive teaching that Uncle Jiu had occasional tenderness.
Suddenly seeing the majestic master speaking in such a gentle voice, even a literary talent couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Uncle Jiu stepped forward and reached out to grab a small bench.
Sitting on the bench, he held the newly full-moon Lin Yu in his arms.
He taught his good apprentice with a gentle tone.
"Xiao Yu, in the first move just now, your left hand should be three inches shorter and your arm should be in an arc. Do you understand?"
"Dad~ I understand what I heard. What I said was really good. What I said is really right."
Lin Yu's milky voice was milky.
"Oh, my good son."
Looking at the adoring and adorable Lin Yu, Uncle Jiu's heart almost melted.
A smile spread across his face, and he put his chin up to rub Lin Yu's cheek.
Although my good son eats goat's milk, he has been blessed with Taoist mantras since he was a child. His body is fresh and refreshing, without any odor.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai stood aside and watched. At this time, they had no other emotions. They just felt as if they had eaten a raw lemon, and their back molars were about to be sore.
My toes kept digging into the ground.
I feel both disgusting and envious.
I envied that Lin Yu could be treated so tenderly by Uncle Jiu, and I also envied that Uncle Jiu could be so close to a cute baby like Lin Yu.
Looking at Lin Yu's cute pink face, which was slightly deformed under the pressure of Uncle Jiu's old face, he wanted to shout, let go of that kid, let me do it!
"What are you looking at? Why don't you continue to practice for me!"
Uncomfortable being stared at by two people, Uncle Jiu quickly scolded with a stern face.
Scare Wencai and Qiu Sheng.
"You know how to be lazy every day! If you don't practice hard, you will become a great man in the future!"
"Hurry up and practice!"
"Stand in horse stance for one stick of incense!"
"Ah? Yes... Master..."
The two people cried and responded weakly, helplessly, and could only lazily and dawdlingly continue to stand in horse stance.
Qiu Sheng felt even more helpless.
If Uncle Jiu continued to teach him moves, it would be a bit interesting.
But now the master only knows how to tease his second brother.
Just letting himself stand in horse stance is tiring and boring, what's the point...
...
A few days passed like this.
Lin Yu practiced boxing every morning, noon and evening.
He is more active than Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
This makes Uncle Jiu feel pity for them and makes him even more dissatisfied with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
Every day, he urges them to practice.
Qiu Sheng's novelty has worn off. He is sore all over from practicing every day, and his enthusiasm has gradually diminished.
However, Lin Yu has completely demonstrated his potential as a big eater.
He eats a lot every day and digests very well.
Uncle Jiu is from the authentic Maoshan, so how could he not know the principle of refining essence into qi.
You have to eat well and eat nutritious food when practicing boxing.
He should do this to his apprentices, not to mention that he loves Lin Yu very much.
There are always fish and meat in the charity house every day.
The so-called poor in literature and rich in martial arts has its reasons.
But after a month, Uncle Jiu also frowned slightly.
