Chapter 88 Martial Arts
Running is Xu Zixian's normal homework. He has been running for several months and has also exercised for several months.
Through running lap, drawing bows, and some equipment and muscle training movements, Xu Zixian is now well-proportioned and has a strong body, and the shape of his muscles is already quite obvious.
After running five kilometers, Xu Zixian only wheezed slightly, sweating and using muscles in the morning made him feel very comfortable. People who exercise normally every day will not feel tired of running at this distance.
After changing clothes and lining, Xu Zi had breakfast with the Wu Zu, and then continued to draw the bow.
Now his longbow has been replaced with the most powerful one, but he can still pull it open easily. The handle of the longbow is quite stable in his hands. Only those who are not strong enough will make the bow body and the bow string tremble together.
After pulling it hundreds of times, his sweat wet his robe again.
Next is to change the hard bow. Ten-force hard bows are also quite strong for martial arts soldiers. Ordinary people get tired after pulling them a few times. A long-term training bow guard can pull them thirty times in a row, and can pull them more than ten times after a short rest.
Next is to clean the whole body's strength and not be able to draw the bow without resting for a few hours.
Of course, Xu Zixian's strength reserve is much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists. Ten strong bows in his hands were as easy as toys, and he also practiced his accurate head. Of course, every arrow target within fifty steps must be hit, and most of them are at the bull's eye.
You can often hit the target between eighty steps and hundreds of steps, but you will miss it occasionally.
Such archery skills are already considered qualified bowmen, but they are still a little different from the real elite bowmen and even the generals.
A real powerful archer, such as Zhang Huchen, can ride a fierce horse and shoot willow branches out dozens of steps. Xu Zixian no longer believes that he can practice the archer and riding skills to the level of Zhang Huchen.
The children of the general family used horses to practice riding and shooting as children. Xu Zixian had only practiced for a few months. If he had not joined the bow and arrow club in his previous life, he had practiced for a few months, he might not have reached the current level.
"The prince's archery skills have already been introduced." The martial soldiers began to carry out strength training. Qin Dongyang had time to come over and said to Xu Zixian: "In fact, the prince's body is already strong enough and has enough strength. If you want to go further, you should learn more ways to exert force and moves."
"I finally waited for Qin Dianwei's words." Xu Zixian said: "I also intend to strengthen my skills..."
In this era, chaotic times are approaching, Xu Zixian wants to be an enemy of ten thousand people, and also an enemy of hundreds. Of course, it is difficult to have both. He knows that Qin Dongyang has only been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, so Xu Zixian now only wants to have the power to protect himself.
"Isn't Liu Yi idle?" Qin Dongyang did not plan to teach Xu Zixian, but just said with a smile, and then walked away.
"I really forgot that drunkard." Liu Yi was still the leader of the Yajiangjie, and seemed not very interested in the official position of the group training, nor was he very interested in training martial arts soldiers.
But Xu Zixian would not let him go. Liu Yi would guide Wu Zu's barrier knife training every afternoon, and Liu Yi also made a lot of efforts in the training of knife players.
Of course Liu Yi was still sleeping at this time. This guy slept until the sun was noon every day, which was considered an object of envy by the generals and the martial soldiers.
When Xu Zixian pushed open Liu Yi's door, Liu Yi was just awake, his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and he sat listlessly by the bed. When he saw Xu Zixian, he rolled his eyes.
There are only two long and sharp obstacle knives placed next to the bed. Many new teeth have been dissatisfied with Liu Yi's scattering and arrogance these days. There are many people who challenge Liu Yi privately, but without exception, they all end up in failure.
"Learn to try your best and moves?"
Liu Yi showed Xu Zixian's familiar sarcasm smile on his face, and he said, "The prince went to the lock hall to try, but the two most important things are the most important. The sword and card, and the long slap are nothing more than a test of strength. The important thing about the martial arts and Jinshi is also the knowledge of military skills. The prince will not read every day and should pass the test. I don't understand why I still have to learn the things of a serious martial artist?"
"I killed one person when I went into battle for the first time, and you protected me and killed two other two." Xu Zixian looked at Liu Yi and said, "It may not be possible that in the future, a battle of thousands of people, can you still protect me? If you are not strong, you will not be safe after all, relying on others."
"This is also reasonable." Liu Yi said: "I will teach you the way to exert force first."
Martial generals and skilled martial arts masters first practice themselves, then practice strength, then exert force and moves, and finally achieve complete success before they can enter the gate of martial arts.
A hundred people can't beat this. Some cavalry generals are integrated with their own war horses, sprinting back and forth, as if they are entering a state of no one. This is the peak of personal force.
The method of exerting force that Liu Yi wanted to teach is quite simple, it is nothing more than coordinating the arms, waist, thighs, and feet with eyes and hands.
When your eyes reach your hands, your hands reach your waist, your waist is supported by your legs, and then your strength is emitted.
"The waist and legs are like a arch breaking..." Liu Yi said: "If you twist out the strength of your whole body, if you feel unsatisfied, shout loudly every time you exert force, it should be effective. Don't be afraid of people laughing. For those who are just practicing, the louder they scream, the more effective they are..."
Xu Zixian was slightly embarrassed and imagined how stupid he was to roar in the school.
Well, it is better to find a place in the other courtyard.
"The coordination between hands, arms, waist, legs, and eyes is actually wherever your brain is used, your strength will be emitted. You must practice the force into collapse, rush, bump, and pick. These forces have their own ways to exert force. Use your body and joints well, and use your strength into vitality, not dead force."
Liu Yi is a good teacher, and his words are easy to understand.
While telling, Liu Yi also twisted his body and made various forceful movements.
Xu Zixian felt that this era should be the last glorious period of traditional martial arts. Firearms have just appeared and their power is too small. What determines the life and death of the battlefield is the use of their own strength and weapons.
No wonder it is first to train your body, practice your strength, then exert force, and then use your moves to kill the enemy.
This is the force that has been passed down for a long time, accumulating strength, exerting force, and killing people.
Martial arts are not miscellaneous plays or things that are fooling people. They use the power accumulated by their own body, use clever methods to exert strength, and use all excellent weapons to kill and kill enemies.
Those martial arts masters in later generations are more like liars than to say they are masters.
Liu Yi taught this simple and useful thing, but Xu Zixian can be sure that it is quite useful.
"As for moves..." Liu Yi licked his lips and smiled, "It's nothing more than fast, accurate, and ruthless. Of course it's not that simple. For example, if you ask you to chop someone's head, he will face you with a long snail. How do you break the long snail, or make him lose his flaw? The move is to take into account various situations, including the right snail, the opponent's weapons, height, etc. If the other party is stronger than you and taller than you, the long snail in his hand has been used for many years and has rich experience. Then my advice to you is to turn your head and run quickly. If you put more effort into the barrier knife, you can use your strength, moves, and techniques to defeat him, and finally cut off his head."
"It makes sense," Xu Zixian said with great appreciation: "If you practice fast, accurate and ruthless moves?"
"The sword technique is ingenious." Liu Yi said: "You are not yet at the beginning, and you have to practice it with force. I will tell you the trick. How to practice is your own business. I can't teach you this step by step?"
Liu Yi's temper is really always rude... Xu Zi smiled first, but he didn't mind. He said, "I will go and practice, but I also want to remind you that you are a child of the Chen family. The Chen family is a famous big business in Guangzhou. I heard that they have a connection with pirates. If you want to take revenge, you would have gone long ago. If you want to avenge your grudges, of course you have to be the general. The way to be the general is to be able to lead troops. You sleep until noon every day before getting up. How can the people below convince you? This opportunity is fleeting, you have to hold on yourself. I don't want to have the opportunity to send you to lead troops in the future, and the people below will not convince you..."
Liu Yi had an indifferent expression on his face, but his face twitched when he mentioned his old grudges. When Xu Zi talked to the end, Liu Yi finally became serious. He said, "I originally thought that the prince was just coaxing him in a false sense. It was no different from gambling in a gambling house. Now I think it's a bad idea. If this continues, the prince will really rise in the future chaotic times..."
"Do you feel that the troubled times are coming?"
"Who doesn't know that the Great Wei Dynasty is about to end?"
This intuitive feeling is actually even more terrifying. Xu Zixian nodded heavily. These men in the martial arts world knew that the Great Wei would be in big trouble, and the emperors and powerful ministers in the court were still fighting for power and profit. No one really put their minds into national affairs. In Xu Zixian's view, the national strength of the Great Wei was actually really strong. Based on the level of a half-baked expert in history, the Great Wei's royal family system, the civil and military officer system, the national policy of focusing on industry and trade, and various economic allocation and control must have quite strong administrative capabilities, including judicial and basic regime control, which are much stronger than those in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In terms of national strength, the Great Wei also surpassed the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but in terms of force, the Great Wei's performance was not as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Is it really the disease of the leader of civilization?
Or is the change of dynasties inevitable?
With the Chinese model of dynasty centralization, to reach the level of the Great Wei, can it still prevent the weakness and demise caused by the change of dynasties?
"I'm just talking nonsense..." Liu Yi saw that Xu Zixian's face was solemn, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He picked up his own barrier knife and prepared to go out. Instead, he listened to Xu Zixian's words. In any case, he would also gain respect and recognition in front of Wu Zu.
