Chapter 36 Tough enough
Immediately, the abbot Zen master took the two of them deep into the Fourth Central Courtyard and came to a Zen room. I heard someone muttering inside.
"Copy, copy, copy, just know how to copy. How many brain cells will be wasted on me? Alas, I will wait and copy again, and start a game first."
“The beautiful dealer deals cards online…” A woman’s cooing voice came from the room.
“Oh, the monk is really having fun!” Li Xinzhu couldn’t help but sigh after hearing this.
The abbot Zen Master on the side sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Hong'an." The abbot shouted outside, and the bell jingled for a while in the room, and then the monk Hong'an ran out from inside.
“Senior Brother Abbot.”
“Come out and speak.”
"Yes." Monk Hong'an came out of the house.
"So your Buddhist name is Hong'an, you are not in trouble." Li Xinzhu said with a smile. Monk Hong'an did not refute after hearing this.
“This benefactor would like to ask some questions related to Buddhist martial arts.”
After hearing this, Hong An raised his head and looked at Wang An. "Please tell me if you have any questions about this donor."
"I want to practice a Buddhist palm technique, but I haven't been able to get started, so I came here specifically to ask for advice."
“I wonder where the donor learned the palm technique?”
“Read the book yourself.” Wang An said matter-of-factly.
“Amitabha, the donor takes it too much for granted. It is almost impossible in reality to practice martial arts by referring to a martial arts secret book like in novels and movies.
Not only will it be impossible to practice, but serious problems may occur if you practice forcefully. Unless you have a deep foundation and experience in martial arts, you can refer to the secret books to understand it on your own. "Monk Hong'an said.
“Ask the master for advice.”
After Wang An finished speaking, he slapped his palm. It was the first palm move recorded in "Vajra Zen", Vajra Patting the Table.
Hey, the monk Hong'an was amazed when he saw this.
“The donor did this by reading a book and thinking about it?”
“Exactly, if there is something wrong, please ask the master for advice.”
"If that's the case, donor, you are really a rare genius. From the palm just now, it can be seen that you have actually touched the threshold, and you are just missing the last step." Monk Hong'an said.
"If the young monk is not mistaken, the palm technique that the donor learned is all about force and strength. When the donor waved his palm, it seemed that there was less of a strong charm, but more of a feminine touch." Monk Hong'an said bluntly.
Wang An's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he somewhat understood what his problem was.
The first thing he practiced was Tai Chi, which took the most time and put the most effort into. Therefore, when he practices other skills now, there are more or less traces of Tai Chi.
Although Tai Chi can be practiced at a high level, it is possible to combine hardness and softness, but the time he has been practicing now is still short, and there is still a long way to go, and the moves are still mainly feminine.
This problem was actually reflected when he was practicing Xingyiquan.
Li Xinzhu said that his Xingyiquan training was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange. Now that he thinks about it, he was also influenced by Tai Chi.
Vajra Zen Palm is a Buddhist technique.
The Buddhist Vajra is a protector who subdues demons. He can carry mountains and chase the moon, and possesses infinite power.
The Buddhist term "King Kong" means indestructible. The simple understanding is that it is hard.
This palm must be powerful, hard enough, and firm enough.
If you don’t understand the artistic conception, it’s like writing an essay that goes off topic. No matter how good you write later, it’s all in vain.
“Thank you, Master, for your guidance.” Wang An saluted.
"Donors don't need to be polite. I think the donor is also a martial arts practitioner. I wonder what kind of martial arts the donor practices?"
“No wonder, the donor may have been unknowingly influenced by Tai Chi when practicing this palm technique.”
“I wonder what kind of exercises the master practices?”
“Arhat Fist, Skanda Palm, the young monk strikes Skanda Palm once and asks the donor for advice.”
Then Monk Hong'an practiced his palm skills in the courtyard. He looked ordinary, but he was very calm. He could feel the power contained in the palm skills from the moves.
“This monk looks unreliable, but his skills are real.” Li Xinzhu nodded.
“This benefactor, how about we have a discussion?” Hong An said to Wang And after he finished using this set of Skanda Palms.
“Hong’an!” the abbot on the side yelled.
“Okay, Master Abbot, we are making friends with martial arts, so far as we can, don’t worry!” Wang An said to the Zen Master Abbot beside him.
“Senior brother?” Hong An turned his head and looked at the abbot aside, with a look of anticipation on his face.
“Then let’s stop there.” The abbot said after a moment of silence.
“Okay! Donor please.”
“Master please.”
Wang An performed a Tai Chi exercise. Hong'an reaches forward with one palm. Neither of the two people made the first move.
Li Xinzhu stared at the two people from the side without blinking.
Suddenly, Wang An moved, lowered his waist and kicked his feet on the ground. The other person rushed out in a swish, and reached Hong An's side in the blink of an eye.
So fast!
Hong An raised his hand and pushed diagonally. When he touched Wang An's arm, he felt his palm rub against his arm, and then slid to the side.
He retreated hurriedly, but his speed was half a minute slower than Wang An, who was already in front of him.
Hong An hurriedly returned his palm. On the way, Wang An's palm was about to hit him on the arm, but when it touched his clothes, he suddenly retracted it, and then stepped aside.
He hurriedly waved his palms to change his moves, but he didn't even touch Wang An's clothes. In an instant, Wang An had already circled behind him.
Hong An hurriedly turned around and raised his hands to protect his vitals. At this time, Wang An's palm had already pressed on his arm that had not been fully extended, and he exerted force.
Tai Chi Spiral Strength,
His arm was shaken away at once, and Hong An took four or five steps back.
“This, is this Tai Chi?”
Hong An looked at Wang An in surprise. Li Xinzhu on the side also widened his eyes.
"It's Tai Chi." Wang An said, "It's not all of it."
In the short moment just now, he used Tai Chi Steps, the magic skills of Tai Chi, brick walking, and the skills of sparring with wild boars.
At the same time, it also gave him a new understanding.
UI!
As long as you are fast enough, you can hit others, but others cannot hit you, and you are already in an invincible position.
The essential purpose of practicing kung fu, exercising the body, and practicing various mana techniques is to increase strength and agility, making people faster and more powerful.
Of course this is easier said than done.
“You, how did you do this, how could it be so fast?”
“Think more and practice more.”
“What kind of training method?” Hong An then asked. Li Xinzhu on the side also came over.
Wang An was silent for a while after hearing this question. It was really difficult for him to answer.
The reason why he was able to do it so quickly was because many factors came together.
