Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound
Chapter 54 Practice Diligently
"Moreover, even if you master the boxing style you are practicing now to the highest level, you can only come very close to the level of the person who created it back then."
"Because everyone's physical structure is unique, no one can completely replicate another person's path of martial arts."
"You must adjust the details of each move and each technique according to your own actual situation."
"Make these movements conform to your own body as much as possible."
"Only in this way can the power of the whole body be completely integrated and unified, and finally reach the highest level of being able to do whatever one wants and control it at will."
Chang Xu was increasingly alarmed as he listened. Chen Wenqi's words had opened a completely new door to martial arts for him.
It allowed him to glimpse a vast world he had never imagined before.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of clarity, as if he had grasped something crucial and gained some insight.
"You mean I need to abandon existing boxing routines and create a Xingyi Quan style that belongs only to me?"
Chang Xu pondered for a moment and tried to summarize his understanding.
"That's not entirely true."
Chen Wenqi shook his head and patiently explained.
"Xingyiquan has been passed down to this day and has long since formed a fairly complete system."
"As the saying goes, you can see further by standing on the shoulders of giants. You don't need to completely abandon the accumulation of predecessors and start from scratch."
"What you need to do now is to thoroughly understand and master this set of boxing techniques."
"Then forget about the specific moves and routines, and just punch and generate power according to the most natural and comfortable feeling of your body."
"Forgot the moves?"
"What should we do?"
Chang Xu frowned, still finding it somewhat difficult to understand.
Chen Wenqi sighed inwardly. It seemed that these profound martial arts principles were still difficult for Chang Xu to fully understand if he were to explain them to him now.
So he changed his approach and patiently guided her.
"Close your eyes first, and slowly recall every detail of your boxing practice in your mind."
"Let your body completely relax, relax even more."
"Yes, that's it. Take slow, deep breaths and make your breathing steady and long."
"Maintain this state and don't get distracted."
Chen Wenqi guided Chang Xu step by step to adjust his state.
Seeing that his muscles were gradually relaxing and his breathing was becoming steady, he suddenly shouted.
"Punch!"
Chang Xu reacted almost instinctively, throwing a punch.
With a crisp "crack," a thunderous explosion resounded through the air.
He suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Chen Wenqi with disbelief and shock.
"This... the power I unleashed with that punch just now was almost twice my usual amount, it's unbelievable!"
Chang Xu was both surprised and delighted, her tone filled with disbelief.
"Remember the feeling when you threw that punch."
Chen Wenqi looked at him seriously and said solemnly.
"As long as you can generate this feeling anytime, anywhere, then you are only one step away from the Transformation Realm."
"This is the true path of martial arts that belongs to you."
Upon hearing this, Chang Xu immediately bowed deeply to Chen Wenqi and said in an extremely solemn tone.
"Thank you so much for your guidance, sir!"
"Don't forget Quanjude for lunch."
Seeing his serious expression, Chen Wenqi couldn't help but smile and remind him.
"The three of us siblings have quite large appetites; one roast duck definitely won't be enough for us."
"Haha, don't worry!"
Chang Xu was in a great mood at the moment.
In that instant, he felt as if he had touched the thin veil that led him to the realm of Transformation.
He immediately waved his hand and said with great pride.
"Order as much as you want, it's on me today, all you can eat!"
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Chen Wenqi is simply a born martial arts monster. He's only fourteen years old, yet his understanding of martial arts is so profound.
In a few years, his achievements will be unimaginable. Could he really step into the legendary realm of embracing the elixir or even the innate realm?
After a moment of reflection, Chang Xu calmed down once again.
Following Chen Wenqi's instructions, I closed my eyes, concentrated, and continued to meditate and experience that mysterious feeling.
On the other side, Chen Wenqi turned and walked to his younger siblings who were not far away, continuing to guide them in practicing Tai Chi.
My younger siblings are naturally gifted and have good comprehension, and they also took Yi Jing Xi Sui Dan before, which improved their physical condition.
Now he can perform a set of thirteen Tai Chi movements quite well and with a high standard.
Because from the very beginning, Chen Wenqi personally demonstrated and taught the most basic stance training and body movements.
Therefore, the Tai Chi they practiced naturally suited their respective body structures, without any sense of strain.
If they can persevere and practice diligently, they will have a much smoother path to reaching the Transformation Realm than others.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
Two hours of practice flew by, and the little girl, rubbing her rumbling tummy, pouted and complained in a spoiled manner.
"Okay, let's stop practicing here for today."
Chen Wenqi chuckled and ruffled his sister's hair, then turned and called out to Chang Xu, who was standing not far away, "Brother Chang, let's go eat roast duck!"
"Okay!"
Chang Xu had tried several times, and although he only succeeded once or twice, he had finally grasped the mysterious feeling of exerting force. He was in a good mood at the moment, so he immediately responded and walked over quickly.
"Yay! Let's go eat roast duck!"
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard the words "roast duck," and she clapped her hands and jumped up happily.
Chen Wenqi bent down and picked up his excited younger sister, while Chen Wenzi followed with a smile.
Chang Xu pointed to the cars parked by the roadside and suggested, "Let's go over there to catch a bus; it'll be easier that way."
"Okay, let's take a car there then."
Chen Wenqi hugged his younger sister and nodded with a smile.
Looking at the close bond between the three siblings, Chang Xu couldn't help but feel a surge of envy.
Now, he is all alone in his home.
His parents had already sacrificed themselves for the greater good of their country during the arduous War of Resistance against Japan.
He was raised by his father's comrades-in-arms, with whom he had shared life and death.
Later, when he grew up, he also joined the army without hesitation and put on a smart military uniform.
Although he had many comrades-in-arms in the army with whom he could entrust his life, deep in his heart he always longed for the warmth of a home that truly belonged to him.
Seeing the close and affectionate relationship between Chen Wenqi and his two siblings, he couldn't help but feel a surge of envy.
The group chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the military vehicle.
Chang Xu quickly stepped forward and opened the car door. Chen Wenqi, holding his younger sister, then invited Chen Wenzi to get into the car as well.
It was the first time for both Chen Wenzi and the little girl to ride in a car, and their faces were filled with barely suppressed excitement and curiosity.
After all, in that era of scarcity, cars were not a rare commodity that ordinary families could easily afford.
Usually, only wealthy capitalists or high-ranking officials with great power can enjoy such treatment.
As the captain of the Imperial Guard, Chang Xu's status was already quite special, which is why he was fortunate enough to be equipped with a dedicated military vehicle.
Today happened to be the weekend, so he didn't have to stay with the team on duty. He made a special trip to Jingshan Park early in the morning, hoping to meet Chen Wenqi again and ask him some questions about martial arts.
Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant is located on the bustling Wangfujing Street in Dongcheng District. It is a time-honored brand with a history of over 100 years.
This restaurant has always enjoyed a very high reputation in the vast city of Beijing.
The car drove very fast and soon stopped in a parking lot not far from the entrance of the roast duck restaurant.
The four of them got out of the car one after another and walked into the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, still chatting and laughing.
They chose a seat by the window and sat down. Not long after, a waiter quickly came over.
The waiter greeted them warmly with a friendly smile and asked them what dishes they would like to order.
"Three roast ducks, please. And a few of your restaurant's signature dishes, please."
Chang Xu first gave an order to the waiter, then turned to Chen Wenqi beside him and asked with a smile, "Are three roast ducks enough for us? Would you like to add another one?"
He himself is a martial artist, and his appetite has always been much larger than that of ordinary people.
If I didn't eat in the army, with my meager salary, it would be really hard to fill my stomach at restaurants outside.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenqi couldn't help but chuckle and waved his hand, replying, "No need, three roast ducks are enough. The roast ducks at this restaurant are quite large; the three of us siblings definitely can't finish them."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The waiter responded very calmly, then turned and quickly left to relay the customer's order to the kitchen.
Before long, three roast ducks, sliced evenly and with an enticing color, were served on the table.
The crispy duck carcasses were also deep-fried, releasing a rich aroma.
One of the duck carcasses was carefully simmered by the kitchen into a delicious duck soup.
"Big brother, can we eat now?"
Chen Wenzi stared longingly at the glistening roast duck on the table, secretly swallowing her saliva, her eyes filled with yearning.
The little girl sitting to the side also opened her big, round eyes and looked at Chen Wenqi expectantly, her little hands reaching out towards the pancakes on the table.
"Okay, eat up."
Chen Wenqi smiled and nodded, then picked up a thin pancake first.
He skillfully picked up a few slices of crispy-skinned, tender roast duck meat, added a few refreshing scallion shreds to cleanse the palate, dipped them in sweet sweet bean sauce, carefully wrapped the pancake, and handed it to his younger sister.
