Romance of Dragons and Snakes

One night in early December, the weather suddenly turned cold and overnight, the northerly winds whizzed. Snowflakes drifted down, and by dawn, a thick layer had fallen on the ground.

Wang Chao was woken by the snow outside the window and thought it was dawn. But after looking at the alarm clock at the bedside, it was only after 5: 00, and I woke up an hour early.

However, Wang Chao was never accustomed to the bed. He quietly put on his clothes. After 10 minutes of washing, he heard the sleeping parents in the next room also make the sound of dressing to know Soso. Wang Chao only walked out the door.

Wang Chao is a senior high school student in C City, 16 years old this year. Average height, mediocre looks, medium learning achievement, and family conditions are that parents have long been laid off, and the combined earnings of two people per month do not exceed $2,000.

Because of all this, Wang Chao's silent oligarchy of introverted surname was created.

Behind Wang Chaojia is a park with rivers, dense woods, remote and shady places, and a small road to reach the school.

Wang Chao likes to walk alone quietly and doesn't like the road to and from the car. Every day at school, after school, is on this path.

The park is very quiet, no one, just a few sparrows chirping on the snowy treetops, jumping and jumping, occasionally shaking down the snow on the trees, but it adds a lot of fun.

However, just as Wang Chao slowly walked through a dense pine forest, he discovered the shadows inside.

“So early, so early?” Wang was super curious and tried to look into the woods.

Turns out the guy in the woods was a woman in white sportswear, white running shoes, with a cool ponytail braid, boxing.

The woman, in her twenties or so, acted slowly, as if she was hitting a popular Tai Chi shelf in society.

However, Wang Chao looked at it for a while and found something different.

Wang Chao found that women's eyes were always focused on their moving fingers.

She always put her hand out slowly, then grabbed her five-finger head like a quasi-star, and quickly retrieved it.

This slowly probed out, quickly caught back, reminded Wang Chao of the action of touching the fish when he was a child: first slowly probed his hand into the water, so that the fish could not notice, wait for the distance, suddenly a hug. The fish caught it.

Moreover, Wang Chao also found that the woman boxed and her body kept walking in circles. The steps at her feet always went out flat on the ground. She looked cautious and walked like she was walking in mud.

The woman's posture is not beautiful, but her whole body is rubbing between the movements, and her strength has made her feel everywhere, giving Wang Chao a sense of stirring up.

Wang Chao could see into God and didn't know how long it had passed. The woman suddenly stopped exercising and raised her eyebrows with her hands, then slowly pressed them to her abdomen, her left foot gently stepped to the ground and exhaled.

Wang Chao clearly saw that a long white gas shot straight out of the woman's mouth, like an air arrow that suddenly shot out.

“How can it be like this?” Wang Chao was very surprised to see such a situation and tried to breathe his full breath.

Unfortunately, the discharged air encountered cold air, forming only a white mist in front of it. Then it dissipated.

Wang Chao didn't believe it. He blew a few more bites so that his heart beat faster, his eyes were golden, or just a bunch of white fog.

Just as Wang Chao tried to be angry, the woman walked over, smiled slightly, nodded her head, sort of said hello. Then he walked out of the woods and went to the other side.

At school, all day, Wang Chao didn't listen to a single lesson. The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more amazing it is.

He regretted it so much that he didn't go up there to talk to him.

The next morning, Wang Chao got up even earlier, and as he passed the park trail, he still found the boxing girl.

Wang Chao came closer this time and watched outside the woods.

Although Wang Chao watched by the woods, the woman continued boxing undisturbed until she had finished a set of moves, still holding hands, pressing her belly, stepping on her feet, and exhaling.

Her breath encountered cold air and still turned into a thin, long white line that shot straight out of the distance. Like an arrow.

After the boxing, the woman nodded and smiled, divine and angry at Wang Chao. Still silent and gone as yesterday.

Even for a few days, Wang Chao got up early every day, ran to the park woods to see women boxing, and found that she didn't care how early she woke up, the woman was always there. Just arrived at 6: 00 in the morning and left on time.

Wang Chao summoned up courage several times, but he couldn't say anything.

Every time a woman finishes her boxing, she nods her head with a smile to Wang Chao. Her face is still very friendly, making Wang Chao feel like a big sister.

After a week like this, the two of them didn't talk, but Wang Chao felt familiar and finally went up to talk to the woman when she was leaving: "Sister, what martial arts are you practicing? ”

The woman laughed and said, “I'm playing the national technique. ”

“National technique...” Wang Chao has also read many martial arts novels, he only knows what messy martial arts are, “Nine Yin White Bone Claws," “Dragon Drop Eighteen Palms," “Toad Gong” and so on.

Wang Chao also knows that these things are fiction. But the national technique has never been heard of.

But Wang Chao watched this woman practice boxing for a week and found it amazing, much better than what karate, taekwondo, thai boxing, scattering and so on outside.

“What is art?” Wang Chao asked.

Women still smile: “Killing enemies, not performing martial arts, is called national art. ”

Wang Chao listened more and more, "Sister, can you teach me? ”

The woman carefully weighed Wang Chao from top to bottom and nodded. “You've been watching me for a week. You're a little persistent. What's your name? ”

“My name is Wang Chao, I'm 16 years old and I'm a sophomore. What's your sister's name?” Wang Chao self-reported his name.

“My name is Tang Zidu.” Women are always smiling.

Wang Chao found that Tang Zidu's face was smooth and had no flaws, like jade stone.

“You have a bad foundation, you have never practiced before, your waist legs and feet are thin. To learn, let's teach you to stand on horseback. ”

“Stand by!!!!!!” Wang Chao-yi listened, his head is a bit big: "Dusty, this is all right. Do you still have to teach? ”

“Oh! Then stand down and try.” Tang Zidu took two steps and told Wang to squat.

Wang Chao immediately threw his bladder away and squatted halfway, his hands flat out, motionless, squatting flat and steady. “Dusty, is that so? ”

Tang Zidu doesn't talk, he just smiles and looks.

Soon after, Wang's super knee started to get sore. After a while, both legs started to shake, his waist was sour, and then he got all dry and hot and he was sweating on his forehead.

Wang Chao knew he couldn't hold on, so he stood up and rubbed his sour knee, “Dusty, is that so? ”

Tang Zidu shook his head: “You can only stand with low back muscle strain if you don't move like this. Marlborough, Marlborough, what's important is a horse word. ”

“Stand up a horse?” Wang Chao can't understand.

“Have you seen anyone riding?” Tang Zidu did not have a smile, “he swung and his body lay down with the horse. Ma Bao, the ancestor learned from horseback riding boxing roots, so when you stand, you must also stand together and stand out of a horse. ”

“Man is running around, the ups and downs of the horse is by virtue of the horse, so you can't do your kung fu, but it's different on the ground. Your ups and downs are like integrating the horse into your body. You stand motionless, keep your weight all on your knees, squat for a long time, your knees must be in trouble. ”

“And that's true?” Wang Chao never thought that a simple posture contained so many things in it.

“Look how I squatted. ”

Tang Zidu said, also stabbed a horseback, Wang Chao only saw her body slightly together, as if the breeze blows the waves.

“Come on, you squat.” Tang Zidu demonstrated, Wang Chao followed to school.

“Be sure to squat to the palm of your feet first. When you get up, your bottom five fingers will die like chicken claws on the ground. Five fingers will pull the bones and muscles of your calves. Your knees will naturally rise, your knees will pull together, your thighs will tighten, your hips will lift, and your stomach will tighten. It's exciting. ”

“Down on your feet, learn ducks and goose, fins, and loosen your five fingers. This way your knees are loose, your thighs are loose, sit back, and your belly drums. ”

“Just between these slight ups and downs, constantly shifting the center of gravity throughout the body so as not to cause bodily damage to the center of gravity all the time. ”

Wang went beyond listening to make sense. He nodded and did what Tang Zidu said.

At first, Wang Chao couldn't do this, but Tang Zidu was right around her. Whenever Wang Chao's strength didn't reach her position, she kicked her foot.

Wang Chao was kicked like a needle. His muscles were irritated and his whole body was in place.

“The ups and downs shouldn't be too big, just an inch away from your toes. Always squat this inch precisely when you're down together. The more precise the better!” When Tang Zidu taught, it was very harsh.

Indeed, after learning to do this together, Wang Super Station's time was extended by more than 20 minutes from the original five minutes.

But after twentieth, Wang Chao felt a little dizzy. This stomach fluttered like a sea sickness.

“Do you feel dizzy, like seasick, vomiting?” Tang Zidu seems to know how Wang Chao feels.

Wang Chao nodded hastily.

“No need to stand up, you get up, your lower body is in place, but your head is out of place. Stand with your head blank. ”

“What is emptiness?” Wang Chao stood up and gasped for half a day before pressing down his nausea.

“It's a term in the gossip Italian boxing scripture, and it's hard to explain, you come with me.” Don Zidu thought about it, "you'll find out on the embankment of the river! ”

Outside the park is a great river, the new reinforced mixed earth embankment of the previous few years, rising high and climbing the cement steps of the embankment are dozens of grades and steep.

Tang Zidu grabbed Wang Chao and slipped onto the embankment.

Wang Chao just stood on horseback and his knees were sore. Now after this torment, he climbed several dozen levels of cement building, and his knees were so sore that he could barely stand.

“Look at this river view! ”

Tang Zidu did not wait for Wang Chao to rest, fingering the vast river ahead.

Wang Chao also looked, just thought the river was running forward, vast to the extreme, shoreline water and flowers were turbulent, snow was brisk on both sides of the bank, and the scenery was very pleasant.

Watching, Wang Chao felt much more comfortable all over himself. His legs were not sour and his back was not sore.

“When you climb out of sight, your mood is relaxed and your fatigue is relieved. This is the void.” Tang Zidu really made sense to Wang Chao like a big sister.

“When horseback runs, people's horizons are particularly wide so that they don't feel tired riding horses. By the same token, when a person is seasick, standing on the deck, blowing a breeze, looking far away, does not faint. ”

“So when you stand on the horseback, not only do you want to stay together, but you also want to open your eyes and have the ambition to climb high inside. ”

“Such horseback is the right thing to do. These are the reasons that exist in life, but they are usually ignored and summed up by the pioneers and integrated into martial arts. Martial arts is not a myth, it is in life, and if you pay attention, you can decay into magic. ”

Wang Chao listened to this as if he understood a lot at once.

He felt a door that he had never seen open to himself.

“I've told you everything about reason and posture. Practice for half a month. Wait here in half a month to see how you stand up?” Tang Zidu finished his speech and turned around and went down the embankment.
