Chapter 41 Crying A moment ago, on the training ground, Zheng Fa closed his eyes and didn't know how long he had been standing there. When he was standing in the Songhe stance, the faint airflow in his body would flow from time to time. The most obvious feeling was from his thighs to his toes and the inside of his shoulder blades. Every time the air flowed through, he would feel an itch from the bones to the skin. Zheng Fa seemed to be unaware of this and remained motionless, recalling the postures of the birds in the documentary in his mind, especially those movements that were similar to those in "Linghe Heart Sutra". The magical thing is that every time a similar movement emerged in his mind, the air flow in his body would tremble, giving him a wonderful sense of coolness. "Visualization method?" A guess emerged, and the air flow in the body stopped beating. He calmed his mind again and stopped thinking about it. The shoulder blades and pelvis became increasingly itchy, driving people crazy, and Zheng Fa almost couldn't maintain the Songhe stance. The itching reached its peak and then suddenly disappeared. The shoulder blade that had been the most itchy just now seemed to have an organ that had never been there before. Zheng Fa suddenly realized that he had grown wings, crane feet, and his whole body was covered with feathers! In other words, the images of the flying birds that he had previously visualized in his mind gradually merged with himself, and he became the strange bird-man in the "Spirit Crane Heart Sutra"! And his consciousness seemed to have entered the birdman's body.
Although his eyes were closed, the darkness before his eyes was broken by a bizarre scene: He is flying! He is flapping his wings, crossing the sky, soaring into the clouds, as if he is going to reach the end of the blue sky. The boundless white sea of clouds shuttled and rolled beneath him, his feathers reflected the red sun in the sky, and the edges of the feathers were dyed with golden light. The trembling and growing air currents in his body became more and more restless, rushing left and right until they broke through his throat and turned into a loud and clear sound. The sea of clouds parted, the sun sank, Zheng Fa slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was still the familiar training ground. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream. It was already dark. Coach Xu was leaning against a stone bench with his clothes on and fell asleep with his eyes closed. He seemed to be awakened by the crane cry made by Zheng Fa. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa with a confused look in his eyes. "What's that sound? Hey, have you finished practicing?" His eyes slowly fell on Zheng Fa's feet, a little surprised: "Have you mastered the Songhe stance?" Zheng Fa looked down and found that the blue bricks under his feet were shattered into pieces and formed cracks. This was the manifestation of the great success of Songhe Posture. The secret manual of Songhezhuang says: "The body is like clouds in the sky, and the feet are like nine layers of roots." When one practices this skill to the highest level, one can crush the bluestone under Zheng Fa's feet with a light step of the thumb. In the process of comprehending the "Linghe Heart Sutra", he unknowingly mastered the "Songhe Posture". It can be seen that the "Linghe Heart Sutra" is indeed the core of the "Linghe Body" martial art. "How long have I slept?" Instructor Xu looked at the sky around him, as if to confirm whether he had been dreaming for a thousand years like in the storybooks. When he saw the familiar scenery, he turned his head and stared at Zheng Fa, frowning deeply, muttering, "No, no matter how good your aptitude is, you can't achieve great success so quickly!" He thought of the crane cry he had just heard, his eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at Zheng Fa, opened his mouth, wanting to ask, but did not dare to. He seemed to have an idea in his mind, but the expression on his face told Zheng Fa that he himself did not dare to believe this guess. Zheng Fa was about to explain when Coach Xu in front of him suddenly jumped up, like a galloping horse, and punched him in the face like a meteor. Zheng Fa didn't have time to say anything and instinctively reached out to block. The two were actually master and disciple, and had actually fought each other a long time ago. Although Zheng Fa showed great talent, he was no match for Coach Xu's lifelong martial arts training. So although it was said that they had fought, it was more of a stop-gap move. The strength that Coach Xu displayed was probably less than 10%, and he was just feeding Zheng Fa with moves. But today, Coach Xu was different from the past. His punches were like moving mountains and pushing seas, and he seemed to be attacking with all his strength. As soon as Zheng Fa moved his body, he found that he was completely different from before. Although the airflow in his body was still so thin and weak, it became continuous and full of vitality, flowing around along with the movements of his body, giving him an extraordinary reaction ability that he did not have before.
He felt as if he had just walked out of the sea onto the shore, with a sense of freedom and ease as if he had been freed from a cage. Most importantly, he felt as if there was a kind of strange power in the space around him, which flowed with his movements and made his moves more powerful. This had never happened before. In this state, Zheng Fa not only did not fall behind, but he and Coach Xu fought fast and fast, and they seemed to be evenly matched. Coach Xu's eyes lit up and his movements suddenly changed. Zheng Fa could only respond accordingly. After two or three moves, Zheng Fa suddenly realized that the moves he was using at this moment were actually the "Spirit Crane Piercing the Clouds" in the fourth volume of "Spirit Crane Body"! That's right! Coach Xu was still teaching Zheng Fa the moves, but he was deliberately guiding him to use the "Spirit Crane Piercing Clouds Hand". Although he had not yet mastered the "Spirit Crane Body", he had been immersed in this martial art for twenty years and was very familiar with every move. "You've mastered it!" Coach Xu saw that although his Spirit Crane Piercing the Clouds moves were unfamiliar, each move was extremely powerful, which made him a little flustered and he didn't dare to resist. This would not have been possible if it weren't for the blessing of the Spirit Crane Heart Sutra. Far from being depressed, he laughed and repeated: "You got it! You got it!" The laughter shook the night sky, then gradually became quieter and choked with sobs. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he grinned, revealing two rows of big teeth, and he was almost laughing to the point of losing himself. But at the same time, two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes. …… Outside the parade ground, there was the sound of Gao Yuan and Coach Xu's nephew walking towards the parade ground arm in arm, carrying lunch boxes. Coach Xu's nephew was still apologizing to Gao Yuan: "I didn't expect you to be so difficult, Senior Brother, I misunderstood you." "Brother, you don't know, I deeply understand what it feels like to be around a genius. Alas, I thought I was used to it a long time ago." Gao Yuan said depressedly: "But when I met someone as reasonable as you, brother, I can't help but express these grievances." "It's okay!" Coach Xu's nephew patted Gao Yuan's shoulder and said, "Although Zheng Fa is talented, I have a way to solve your problem." "Brother, teach me!" "Who am I?" Master Xu's nephew patted his chest and said, "I am your master's beloved disciple, his personal disciple! I am also his nephew, the only male of the next generation of the Xu family!" "How to say?" "I'm going to talk to my uncle. Since Zheng Fa is such a genius, we should set higher standards and be stricter. Let Zheng Fa practice more in the future, and give us more encouragement. Most importantly, don't compare us with him!" "Isn't this... not too unpromising?" Gao Yuan looked a little confused: "Shouldn't we learn from the good?" "No, this is called being down-to-earth!" Seeing his expression, Coach Xu's nephew said with a smile: "What good will it do Zheng Fa to compare himself with us? Isn't this an insult to his talent? Are we worthy of him?" “……” Gao Yuan opened his mouth, unable to speak. "Compared with him, what else can we get except not being able to sleep every day?" Gao Yuan couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. He obviously felt a sense of resonance and seemed to think that there was some truth to this. "So, the problem isn't with us two, it's with your young master, my uncle! They are the ones who are using the Zheng law standards to demand us!" Seeing that he agreed, Master Xu's nephew patted him on the shoulder and said, "In the future, we should persuade them not to compare us three!" "It seems there's no need to persuade me anymore." Gao Yuan said suddenly. "Ok?" "As long as Coach Xu is not crazy, he won't compare us with Zheng Fa."
Coach Xu's nephew looked at Gao Yuan in confusion, obviously not understanding why this man said that. "He... was beaten to tears by Zheng Fa." Gao Yuan pointed at the two people fighting in the training ground, paused, and added: "Yeah, he cried miserably." (End of this chapter)
