Chapter 5 Learn Art! Bagua Palm

As soon as the genius was dawn, Zhang Yu was woken up by Uncle Jiu and went to the yard of Yizhuang. It can be seen that Uncle Jiu attaches great importance to Zhang Yu, but he thought about it.

Although Wencai is loyal, he is so stupid that he is not able to make a name for himself. Although Qiu Sheng is talented, he has an impetuous personality and is unstable. Therefore, Uncle Jiu hopes that Zhang Yu can inherit his skills, which is also the right way to get started. Wencai is still sleeping like a pig at this time.

Zhang Yu stood in the yard and rubbed his eyes hard, cheered up and looked at Uncle Jiu seriously.

Uncle Jiu nodded with relief when he saw that Zhang Yu was in good spirits. He first told him about the importance of practicing Taoism and martial arts.

"A Yu, we practitioners of Taoism must practice martial arts, but we don't have to spend our energy too deeply. Practicing martial arts is for health care and fitness, and second, for agility. When catching monsters and removing ghosts, we are not agile. If we are not careful, we will suffer a great loss and even die.

So today I will teach you how to practice martial arts and Baguazhang. Then you can recite the basic Taoist scriptures to the evening, and you must be able to understand the Taoist scriptures first. I will teach you Taoist techniques slowly in the future."

"Okay, master."

Zhang Yu smiled and nodded and agreed. He was extremely happy. He thought he could only learn Taoism, but he didn't expect that he could learn martial arts and Baguazhang.

"A Yu, I see that you have strong yang energy and your body is stronger than that of ordinary people. Are you still a virgin?"

Uncle Jiu stared at Zhang Yu and suddenly asked directly.

"I... I am indeed still a virgin. In addition, when I was abroad, I learned some Western boxing. So my physical exercise is OK."

Zhang Yu touched the back of his head awkwardly, and said embarrassedly with a slight rosy face.

Uncle Jiu smiled, his eyes full of appreciation and praise. Then he began to formally explain Baguazhang.

"No, not bad. You can also keep yourself clean when studying abroad. It can be seen that your family is strict and your family tradition is good. Cough, yes, a boy is very good for practicing Taoism, try to maintain it. Okay, I will tell you about this Baguazhang first.

Baguazhang originally belonged to the Wudang martial arts. Wanqing had a martial arts master Dong Haichuan and Dong Gong, who collected the achievements of his predecessors, made public the secret Taoist technique of Baguazhang to the world. It was included in the master's sect as a inheritance.

Baguazhang is the most significant martial art among Wudang’s internal martial arts. Baguazhang does not pursue a single movement and stillness, but combines movement and stillness, becoming the best way to maintain health and fitness.

Taoist Baguazhang observes the laws of human body movement and changes, follows the ancient theory of yin and yang and internal qi, and combines the steps, body and palm techniques of Baguazhang rotating left and right, attaches importance to the coordination of thoughts, and emphasizes both internal and external cultivation.

This will more effectively promote the changes in blood, essence, and bone marrow in the body. The movement and stillness of each move of the palm technique must be intentionally followed. The boxing principles and techniques are mostly related to acupoints, tendons, qi and blood, internal organs, and yin and yang.

So don’t look at me as I am fifty or sixty, my health is no different from my forties.

Baguazhang mainly uses palm changes and walking and transformation, integrating boxing skills and internal skills, and practicing both inside and outside. When practicing, it is divided into four directions, four or eight directions. The boxing skills are regulated according to the hexagrams in the "Zhouyi" Baguazhang, so it is named "Baguazhang".

Baguazhang uses the "Book of Changes" as the theoretical basis for boxing skills. The basic eight palms of Baguazhang are respectively attached to Qian Gua, Kun Gua, Kan Gua, Li Gua, Zhen Gua, Gen Gua, Yi Gua, and Dui Gua.

So you still have to read the "Book of Changes" carefully. I will find it to you later.

Baguazhang also uses Baguazhang's numbering techniques to regulate the level and systemicity of boxing skills. The eight basic palm techniques compare the number of Baguazhang and are divided into eight groups with sixty-four palms, each group of eight palms, and the number of eight eight and sixty-four hexagrams is attached. Therefore, the "Book of Changes" is very important and is the basis of Baguazhang's boxing skills."

During his explanation, Jiu Shu repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Book of Changes to the Eight Trigrams. Zhang Yu also secretly remembered it in his heart and attached great importance to the Book of Changes.

"Baguazhang is an internal martial art of walking and turning and changing the palm and body techniques. To practice Baguazhang, you must first practice the stance method, so the practice is mainly based on standing.

There are Peiyuan stakes, Hunyuan stakes, Sancai stakes, Bagua stakes, Yigua stakes, etc.

The stance exercise starts with the Peiyuan stance, with the two feet apart, the distance is the same width as the shoulders, the tongue is slightly rolled against the upper palate, the eyes are slightly closed and the whole body is naturally relaxed, the left palm is gently folded on the back of the right palm, and the right palm is gently pressed on the Dantian point, the nose breathes slightly deep and long, and it does not hear it from the ear, and imagine the Dantian, which replaces the nose breathing, and keeps breathing in the Dantian.

Practice the Peiyuan stance and then practice other stance exercises. On the basis of driving the stance exercises, practice stance movements, and begin to practice the stance movements, advance, retreat, rise, fall, and swing, twist and turn, and then practice the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation.

This formation is buried on the ground by nine bamboo poles in the direction of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. When you first practice, the distance between the poles is to allow a person to pass through. As the skill deepens, the distance between the poles gradually narrows, and it is 10% true that the person does not shake when he passes the poles.

Then insert sharp objects at different positions on the rod, so that people will not be injured by sharp objects will be a minor result. Tie a cotton strip soaked in oil on the rod and ignite the fire, so that they will not be injured by fire and sharp objects will be a major result.

Walking on the post, based on the Bagua stake, and based on the practice of the previous step, walk on the Bagua 9 Palace stake. When you first practice, use the Bagua 9 Palace stake as the shape of the Bagua stake as the shape of the bricks, first walk on the flat bricks. Be horizontal bricks, stand bricks, and then practice the posts after being proficient. Choose wooden stakes of the thickness of the bowl, buried several feet underground, and the top of the post is about one foot away from the ground.

First practice standing stances. After standing on the stance for an hour, you can practice walking on the stance. Then practice running the stance. To achieve the standard, you can gradually raise the stance rod according to the increase of kung fu. Finally, you can run the stance rod on the standing bamboo pole, walk like flying, and achieve the best skill.

After that, Baguazhang practice was divided into three levels of kung fu, namely the heavenly plate, the earthly plate, and the human plate.

The Eight Trigrams of Heavenly Pan are the methods of rebirth, mainly based on stance, movement, palm, body, footwork and boxing. To practice Ming Strength, we can achieve the six combinations. That is, the mind and mind are combined, the mind and qi are combined, the qi are combined, the hand and foot are combined, the shoulders and hips are combined, and the elbows are combined.

The hands, eyes, body, mind, spirit, inside and outside are in harmony, open and close clearly, stretch and generously, one to one hundred, everywhere, and a large circle is used to circle.

The Bagua of Earth is a method of stretching muscles and changing bones. It mainly focuses on cultivating internal strength. The method of combining the inside and the outside is to cultivate the outside, helping the inside, and combining the inside and the outside, integrating the ten images, mind, energy, muscles, bones, skin, fur, muscles, twists and rolls, and the whole body is round. The technique is free and free, and the inch strength is produced and the small circle is plated.

The Bagua of the Human Pan is the marrow cleaning technique, the combination of yin and yang, the integration of the inside and outside, the main focus is on the meaning, invisible and without trace, the whole body goes empty, as quiet as a scholar, movement as a mountain collapse, shape as flying arrows, and as lightning.

The whole body is empty, empty but not empty, and empty, and the shadow is not visible, the shape is invisible, the intention is unintentional, and the intention is unintentional. In the unintentional situation, the spirit is easy, and the energy and trembling force of the muscles can be like an electric shock.

Okay, let me say so much first. Ayu, if you don’t understand, ask me.”

Uncle Jiu said that it took so long, but he felt a little dry.

Zhang Yuxu wiped the cold sweat from his head. Then he stared at Uncle Jiu and asked curiously.

"Master, you have practiced for so long. You should have practiced the Bagua Zhang stake and the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation to a very high level, right?"

"This... cough cough... why do you do so much? It's enough to teach you. According to what I just said, stand well in Peiyuan Pile Method. Stand for an hour before you can eat. I'll go in and have a tea first, don't be lazy."

Uncle Jiu was so angry that he taught Zhang Yu a lesson, and then turned around and walked towards the inner room without caring about him.

"Didn't this make me unable to get off the stage? Could it be that I'll tell you, I only learned three stakes, and only realized two or three levels of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, and only practiced to the Tianpan. My main position is a Taoist priest, not a martial artist."

After hearing this, Zhang Yu quickly stood up according to the Peiyuan stake method mentioned by Uncle Jiu just now. He slowly recalled the Peiyuan stake that Uncle Jiu mentioned.

"The two feet are separated, and the distance is shoulder-width at the same time, the tongue is slightly curled against the upper palate, the eyes are slightly closed and looking inward, the whole body is naturally relaxed, the left palm is gently folded on the back of the right palm, and the right palm is gently pressed on the Dantian point, the nose breathing is subtle and deep, and it is not heard from the ear, thinking about the Dantian, and thinking about breathing in the Dantian.

The dantian should be the abdomen, so try to stand like this first. When the master comes out to see it later, let’s talk about other things.

However, that body strengthening is really good! Even the brain has been strengthened. I just said that the whole bunch of Baguazhang, I didn’t forget a word. Since God has given such an opportunity, I will be sorry for myself if I don’t fight once.”

Zhang Yu's eyes were filled with a firm look, and he stood firmly at Peiyuan Post and remained motionless.

Uncle Jiu said he was going in to drink water, but stopped at the door and observed Zhang Yu silently. He watched Zhang Yu stand from a distance.

"Although I didn't look closer, it should be correct. Well, this guy is talented and intelligent. If he keeps working like this, he will become a great man in time. Haha."
