One night in early December, the weather suddenly turned cold, and overnight, the north wind whistled. Snowflakes drifted down. By dawn, a thick layer had fallen on the ground.

Wang Chao was awakened by the snow light outside the window and thought it was dawn. But after looking at the alarm clock at the bedside, he realized that it was only five o'clock and he had woken up for an hour.

However, Wang Chao never had the habit of staying in bed. He put on his clothes silently and spent ten minutes to wash up. Hearing the sound of his parents sleeping in the next room also making a serene sound of dressing, Wang Chao walked out of the door.

Wang Chao is a sophomore student in a high school in City C. He is sixteen years old this year. He is average in height, ordinary in appearance, and has moderate academic performance. His family conditions are that his parents have been laid off, and the monthly income of the two people does not exceed 2,000 yuan.

It is precisely because of all this that Wang Chao is taciturn and introverted.

Behind Wang Chao's house is a park. The park is surrounded by the river. The woods are dense, the place is remote and gloomy. There is a small path inside to reach the school.

Wang Chao likes to walk quietly by himself, but he doesn’t like the roads where cars come and go. Every day when going to school and after school, he walks on this path.

The park is very quiet, and there is no one. Occasionally, a few sparrows chirping on the snow-covered treetops, jumping around, and occasionally shaking off the snow on the trees, which adds a lot of fun.

However, just as Wang Chao slowly walked through a dense forest of pine trees, he found the figures shaking inside.

"So early, people are out to move out?" Wang Chao was curious and tried hard to look into the woods.

It turned out that the person who was moving in the woods was a woman wearing white sportswear, white running shoes, and a cheerful ponytail.

This woman looks about in her twenties, and her movements are slow, as if she is playing with Tai Chi styles that are popular in society.

However, after looking at it for a while, Wang Chao discovered something unique.

Wang Chao discovered that the woman's eyes were always focused on her moving fingers.

She always stretched out her hands slowly first, then grabbed her five fingers like a star-like star, and then quickly took them back.

This slowly poked out and quickly caught it, reminding Wang Chao of the action of sucking fish when he was a child: he slowly reached into the water so that the fish would not notice it. When the distance was close, he suddenly grabbed the fish with a handful.

Wang Chao also found that when the woman was fisting, her body kept walking in circles, and her steps were always flat against the ground and wade out, looking cautious, as if she was wading in mud and water.

The woman's posture was not graceful, but her whole body was rubbing with each movement, and the strength was put into every place, giving Wang Chao a feeling of swelling.

Wang Chao was so impressed that he didn't know how long it took. The woman suddenly stopped exercising, suddenly raised her eyebrows with her hands, then slowly pressed her to her abdomen, gently stepped on the ground, and breathed a long breath.

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

"Can you breathe out like this?" Wang Chao was very surprised to see this situation and tried to breathe with all his strength.

Unfortunately, the air that was exhaled encountered cold air, and only a ball of white mist formed in front of him. Then it dissipated.

Wang Chao didn't believe it, so he blew a few more times, making his heart beat faster, and his eyes were filled with golden flowers, but he was still a bunch of white mist.

Just as Wang Chao was trying hard to get angry, the woman came over, smiled slightly, nodded, as if she had said hello. Then she walked out of the woods and walked towards the other end.

When I arrived at school, Wang Chao didn't listen to any class all day. He always thought about the scene of a woman exhaling in the morning when he was doing boxing. The more he thought about it, the more magic he felt.

He regretted it very much and didn't go up to chat with him at that time.

The next morning, Wang Chao was determined to get up earlier. When he passed by the park road, he still found the woman who was boxing.

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

Although Wang Chao was watching by the woods, the woman continued to punch without interruption until she finished a set of movements, she still carried her hands, pressed her abdomen, stepped on her feet, and exhaled.

The breath she exhaled encountered the cold air and still turned into thin and long white lines, shooting straight out of the distance like an arrow.

After punching, the woman still nodded and smiled at Wang Chao, the audience, with a kind look, but she still didn't speak and left like yesterday.

This happened for several days. Wang Chao got up early every day and immediately ran to the woods of the park to watch the woman doing boxing. He found that no matter how early he got up, the woman was always there. He left on time at six o'clock in the morning.

Wang Chao mustered up the courage to come forward and chat with him several times, but he couldn't say anything when he was at his mouth.

Every time the woman finished punching, she smiled and nodded at Wang Chao, and her expression was still very kind, which made Wang Chao feel like a big sister.

After a week like this, although the two of them didn't say anything, Wang Chao felt familiar. Finally, when the woman was about to leave, he went up to chat with her: "Sister, what martial arts are you practicing?"

The woman smiled: "I am playing national martial arts."

"National Art..." Wang Chao has also read many martial arts novels, only knowing all kinds of martial arts, such as "Nine Yin White Bone Claws", "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms", "Toad Ability", etc.

Wang Chao also knew that these things were fictional. However, I have never heard of them.

But after seeing this woman practicing boxing for a week, Wang Chao found it very magical. It was much better than karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, Sanda and so on outside.

"What is national martial arts?" Wang Chao asked.

The woman still smiled: "A martial art that only kills the enemy but does not perform is called national martial arts."

Wang Chao heard this and felt more and more amazing, "Sister, can you teach me?"

The woman carefully looked Wang Chao from above and nodded, "You followed me for a week and I'm still a little persistent. What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Chao, I am 16 years old this year, a sophomore. What is my sister's name?" Wang Chao reported his own name.

"My name is Tang Zichen." The woman always smiled.

Wang Chao discovered that the sister Tang Zichen's face had smooth skin and no flaws, as if it were jade.

"You have a bad foundation. You have never practiced before. Your waist, legs and feet are thin. If you want to learn, teach you how to stand on horse stance first."

"Stand on horse stance" Wang Chao heard it and said, "Sister Chen, do you still need to teach this? "

"Oh! Then you can stand and try." Tang Zichen took two steps and signaled Wang Chao to squat down.

Wang Chao immediately shook his arms, squatted halfway, raised his hands flat, and squatted steadily. "Sister Chen, is that true?"

Tang Zichen didn't speak, just looked at it with a smile.

After a while, Wang Chao's knees began to feel sore. After a while, his legs began to tremble, his waist was also sore, and then his whole body was hot and his forehead was sweating.

Wang Chao knew that he could not hold on anymore, so he stood up and rubbed his sore knees, "Sister Chen, is that the case?"

Tang Zichen shook his head: "If you stand like this motionless, you will only cause lumbar muscle strain. Horse stance, horse stance, the important thing is the character "horse" and you must stand out."

"Stand out of the Malay?" Wang Chao couldn't understand.

"Have you seen people riding horses?" Tang Zichen no longer smiled. "People galloped on horses, and their bodies swayed with horses. Horse stance was the foundation of boxing that the ancestors learned from riding horses, so when they stood, they had to stand together and stand out from thin air."

"A man gallops on his horse, and the ups and downs are used by the horse, so he cannot do anything, but it is different on the flat ground. Your ups and downs are equivalent to integrating the horse into your body. You stand still, with your body center of gravity on your knees. If you squat for a long time, there will definitely be problems with your knees."

"There is still the reason?" Wang Chao never thought that in a simple posture, there were so many things contained in it.

"Look at how I squatted."

Tang Zichen said, and also stole a horse. Wang Chao only saw her body slightly undulating, just like a breeze blowing water and waving.

"Come on, come and squat." Tang Zichen gave a demonstration, and Wang Chao followed and learned.

"You must first reach the soles of your feet. When you raise your feet, the five fingers of your feet must be tightly snatched on the ground like chicken feet. Once you pick the five fingers, it will affect the bones and muscles of your calves. The knees will naturally be raised, the knees will be thrust, the thighs will be tightened, the waist will be lifted, and the abdomen will be tightened. This is the strength."

"With the strength you are under, you must learn from ducks and gooses, your flippers, and your five fingers must be loosened. In this way, your knees will be loose, your thighs will be loose, your waist will be bulging, and your abdomen will be bulging."

"In the slight ups and downs, the center of gravity of the whole body is constantly changing, so that the center of gravity will not always fall in one place and cause physical damage."

Wang Chaoyue felt the more reasonable he heard, and nodded repeatedly and did as Tang Zichen said.

At the beginning, Wang Chao could not do this at all, but Tang Zichen was by his side. Whenever Wang Chao's strength did not fall into position, she would kick it with her feet.

The place where Wang Chao was kicked was like a needle prick. His muscles were stimulated, and his whole body was in place.

"The fluctuation should not be large, it is just an inch away from the toes. When you rush together, you must always accurately squat at this inch of distance. The more precise the better!" When Tang Zichen was teaching, he was very strict.

Sure enough, after learning how to make a rush, Wang Chao's standing time increased from the original five minutes to more than twenty minutes.

But after twenty minutes, Wang Chao felt a little dizzy. Their heads fell and they were like seasickness, and their stomachs were churning.

"Do you feel dizzy, like seasickness, and you want to vomit?" Tang Zichen seemed to know what Wang Chao felt.

Wang Chao nodded quickly.

"No need to stand, get up, your lower body posture is in place, but your head is not in place. When standing, you must be in the air."

"What is the lingkongxu top?" Wang Chao stood up, gasped for a long time before he suppressed the feeling of nausea.

"This is a term in the Bagua Xingyimen boxing classics, and it is difficult to explain. Come with me." Tang Zichen thought for a while, "You will know when you go to the dam of the river!"

Outside the park is a big river. The newly built reinforced concrete embankment a few years ago has raised high heights. The cement steps that climb to the embankment are dozens of steps, which are very steep.

Tang Zichen grabbed Wang Chao and quickly climbed the embankment.

Wang Chao's knees were so sore that his knees were sore that he had climbed a cement building that had been tens of levels, and his knees were sore that he almost couldn't even stand up.

"Look at this river view!"

Tang Zichen pointed to the vast river ahead without waiting for Wang Chao to rest.

Wang Chao also looked at it, feeling that the river was rushing forward, extremely vast, with splashes on the shore, snow on both sides, and the scenery was very pleasant.

As he looked at it, Wang Chao felt much more comfortable all over, his legs were no longer sore, and his waist was no longer hurt.

"As soon as you climb up to look far, your vision will be broadened, and your fatigue will be relieved. This is the slightest tip of the Kongxu." Tang Zichen really said the truth to Wang Chao like an older sister.

"When a horse gallops, people have a very broad vision, so they don't feel tired when riding a horse. By the same token, when a person is seasick, stand on the deck, blow the wind, and look into the distance, and you won't feel dizzy."

"So, when standing on horse stance, not only will it be together, but the strength must be in place, but the vision must also be broadened, and there is an artistic conception of climbing high and looking far away."

"This kind of horse stance is considered to be the right one. These are all the reasons that exist in life, but people usually ignore it. It is the sages who summarized them and incorporated them into martial arts. Martial arts are not myths, they are in life. As long as you pay attention, they can turn decay into magic."

Wang Chao seemed to understand a lot at once when he heard this.

He felt a door that he had never seen before slowly opening to him.
