The sound of the horn was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night. Although it only sounded once, it made Liu Mang's heart inexplicably jump. Was something going to happen?
Liu Mang's tiredness was instantly gone. He climbed onto the sofa and opened the topmost window to look outside.
A black car was parked in the open space of the residential area. If it wasn't for the faint light in the car, Liu Mang would have ignored the black color.
The rain had gradually calmed down. After the storm, it was drizzling. It was pattering, and it made a rustling sound as it hit the car.
It didn't seem strange. It was just a car. Although their neighborhood wasn't a high-end residential area, there were still many people who had cars. After all, cars were cheap now.
However, Liu Mang felt his heart beating wildly, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.
Liu Mang had always trusted his intuition. He had a hunch that something would happen tonight.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The surroundings were quiet, and only the rustling sound was still thinking. Liu Mang's eyes were fixed on the light in the darkness, waiting for something to happen.
As time passed, it was still dark outside. It was quiet and there was no change.
Just as Liu Mang was losing his patience, he heard the soft sound of the door opening. Although the movement was very light, it was still particularly prominent in this quiet night. Liu Mang was fully focused at this moment, so he heard it.
His originally tired expression suddenly shook. Was it finally here?
With the sound of light footsteps, Liu Mang's heart was on tenterhooks.
The drizzle was still falling, bringing with it a cold wind that occasionally hit the window, but it did not attract Liu Mang's attention at all. All his attention was focused on the light in the darkness.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Two figures walked out of the darkness. One was extremely tall, while the other seemed a little skinny. They seemed to be carrying something in their hands. He was walking towards the bright light.
Second aunt!
A name suddenly appeared in Liu Mang's mind. The scene that happened that night could not help but appear in front of him again. That somewhat ferocious tall figure, the trembling body of his second aunt...
Liu Mang couldn't stand it anymore. No matter how high the possibility was, Liu Mang didn't dare to take the risk. If his second aunt was really hurt because of his negligence, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
At this time, the two people were almost at the car. Liu Mang did not dare to stop. He quickly jumped off the sofa and rushed into his room. He took out the long knife from the mat on the wardrobe.
After not using it for a few days, the surface of the blade was still as shiny as before. Under the light, it emitted a cold light. Liu Mang suddenly had confidence in his heart.
Liu Mang wrapped the blade with a towel and walked out in his slippers.
The light in the distance grew brighter. The two seemed to have gotten into the car and were about to drive away.
Liu Mang had an inexplicable impulse. He held his knife and walked out.
The car had already started, and the lights suddenly lit up. Liu Mang quickly lowered his head, turned around, and hid behind a tree.
After a while, the light shifted and Liu Mang's side returned to darkness.
Liu Mang guessed that they might be reversing the car. He no longer hesitated and walked over with his knife. The car was already facing Liu Mang. If the people in the car did not look carefully, they would not be able to see Liu Mang.
The moment the car turned around, Liu Mang rushed up and jumped behind it.
This time, Liu Mang saw it clearly. The logo on the back of the car was a BMW A6. It was a very expensive car. At least, it was relatively rare here. This also made Liu Mang more confident in his investigation. He knew all the BMW in the community, but there was no one with the beginning of the car. This meant that the car was an outsider.
The BMW seemed to have started and was accelerating. Liu Mang did not dare to delay any longer. He stuck the long knife on his back and stuck his whole body to the car like a big character. He grabbed the edge of the car with both hands to prevent himself from falling.
The rain gradually lessened, but it still soaked Liu Mang's clothes. Liu Mang didn't dare to move. In fact, he didn't dare to move either. The momentum of the BMW made him feel like medicine was falling. He could only hold on to the car and his face turned red.
The BMW drove unhurriedly, crossed a road, and turned into another street.
Liu Mang, who was lying on the car, was extremely upset. His entire body was tense, especially his arms. Because he had used too much strength, he almost felt like cramping up.
Inexplicably, those eight words appeared in his mind again.
His movements were like a taut bow, and his hair was like thunder!
Wasn't he like a taut bowstring right now? But how should he move all the muscles and bones in his body?
Liu Mang had forgotten that he was still on the car. He ignored the drizzle that was still falling. He stuck his face to the cold car and began to practice Bajiquan.
He had been practicing Bajiquan for almost the entire night, so he already had some understanding of it. The practice had some effect, but he still felt that he had not touched the door.
There was no detailed explanation on this in the booklet, but there were some small words on the side. It was the experience of that senior. Although Liu Mang couldn't understand it, he was determined to practice martial arts. Although he couldn't understand it, he remembered it all in his mind.
Bajiquan's exertion of force required a high level of overall coordination, and there were many delicate aspects. Therefore, there would be some problems and mistakes during practice. In summary, there were four main aspects: First, the essentials were unclear; second, it was a one-sided understanding; third, it was anxious to exert force; fourth, the force was not compatible.
Unclear essentials meant that one could not understand the essentials of exerting force correctly, or that one could only dabble in it, resulting in a wrong judgment. Due to the wrong understanding or the teacher's wrong teaching, the students formed the wrong concept. Once this concept was formed, it was very stubborn. It was difficult to listen to the advice of others, so the final practice was not the strength of Bajiquan. Just like the people in the martial arts world often said,"What you practice is the frame of Bajiquan, not the strength of Bajiquan."
The solution to this situation was to overcome the self-righteous mentality and humbly ask a famous old boxer for advice. It would be even better if you asked an old boxer who even your own teacher respected very much. You must be sincere when you asked, so that the other party could really tell you. After getting the guidance of an experienced old boxer, you must observe carefully and understand the truth from it.
A one-sided understanding meant that one only knew one part of the essentials of exerting force and did not know the other parts. It caused the strength to be beyond the requirements of the fist intent in a certain aspect, but it violated the requirements of the fist intent in other aspects. For example, everyone knew that Bajiquan was based on the extreme distance of all directions, but some people only practiced extreme distance in one direction when they exerted force. Some people let go of their heads when they exerted force, as if they had reached extreme distance, but the point of force was unknown. The overall force was not explosive, and they lost the true meaning of Bajiquan.
Being eager to exert force meant that although one knew the correct essentials, they had not implemented it into the actual movement. Under the circumstances where the whole body was not smooth, they were eager to exert force in the movement. Most people believed that the strength of Bajiquan was strong and fierce. They always felt that it was not enough to reflect the characteristics of Bajiquan without exerting force, so they were eager to exert force and wanted to be quick for a moment. As a result, it led to the formation of many unfavorable factors such as stiffness and disagreement of the strength, which hindered the formation of the correct strength.
Although he had trained hard and put in a lot of effort, he still got half the results with twice the effort and his progress was slow. This was the principle of "more haste, less speed". The way to overcome it was not to rush to exert force, but to carefully understand the essentials in slow practice, so that the essentials naturally dissolved into the movements, and then gradually try to exert force, naturally you will receive good results.
Inconsistent strength meant that the strength could not reach the requirements of the Six Harmonies, and the overall coordination was not coordinated. This was what the old boxer said,"fighting is not neat." The so-called "integration" referred to the overall strength, which was also the combination.
One of the main manifestations of the strength disparity was that the blowing of air and the exertion of force were not synchronized; The second was the lack of strength to stomp, the third was the lack of strength to straighten one's neck, and the fourth was the lack of strength to lift one's head. Fourth, the strength of the back hand and the front hand is not equal, and the back hand is tilted backward. Fifth, it lacked the sinking force, and its body undulated, sometimes high and sometimes low, etc. The best way to overcome these problems was to have a teacher correct them one by one, or to have a martial brother who was good at kung fu do it for them. The key was to understand and correct them carefully in order to overcome the problems one by one.
However, Liu Mang was basically a layman in martial arts. Although he was very determined to learn martial arts, he had no way to do so. It was not easy for Wu Qing to give him this book of Eight Extremities Fist, which could be considered as opening a door for him to learn martial arts.
However, Liu Mang could only practice by himself. He couldn't let others know, and he didn't have a teacher. The only thing that could give him some experience was the small words in the booklet, which could help him avoid detours in the process of practicing martial arts.
However, these were still just words. It was not as fast as teaching them step by step. They could only rely on themselves to explore.
