Chapter 57 Second Painful Youth
A quarter of an hour later, loud screams could be heard from the cabin.
Not to mention Wangjiagou, the two teams next door could vaguely hear it, which was extremely embarrassing.
Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei were lying on the ground, unable to move a finger. Old Master Wang kept sniffing at the side. He finally understood why Ye Yu asked him to come out of retirement. This girl was even more fierce at killing demons than he was when he was young.
Let’s start with the initial teaching.
The martial arts inheritors and scientists of the Hope Base of the End Times have jointly compiled three sets of martial arts: elementary, intermediate and advanced.
The beginner level is also called basic martial arts, which consists of 108 moves in total and is suitable for more than 90% of ordinary people.
The remaining 10% are physically disabled. It is worth mentioning that some of the physically disabled are not disabled, and some even have physiological abnormalities. For example, those with mirror vision are not unlearnable, but they just need special adjustments in teaching and teaching according to their aptitude.
Intermediate martial arts has a total of 72 moves and is an evolved version of elementary martial arts. Only when elementary martial arts are practiced to perfection and physical fitness meets certain requirements can one enter this stage.
Mr. Wang's strength is comparable to that of a beginner warrior, but the martial arts he practices are not the same, and he is old and has brittle bones, so it is difficult for him to proceed to the next round of learning, unless he is assisted by expensive herbal baths and acupuncture.
It's not the end of the world now, so medicinal baths may still be possible, but acupuncture - Ye Yu has seen it but never tried it, and he has learned about it but never performed it himself.
There are 36 high-level martial arts moves in total, and it is an advancement of middle-level martial arts. Only very few martial artists can reach this level, and their strength is no less than that of low-level psychics.
The moves practiced by psychics are also derived from advanced martial arts. Each move is very similar, with only changes in details to make it more difficult. Therefore, it is also jokingly called the advanced version of psychics or ceiling martial arts.
Before starting to teach, Ye Yu demonstrated it first, from the basic 108 moves to the ceiling 36 moves.
Her movements were very smooth.
But the purpose of these three basic martial arts is not for fighting. Fighting has a variety of external skills and experiences. Its main purpose is to train the body, so it is closer to judo or yoga. Many movements are difficult just by looking at them.
When Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei started to learn, “Ahhhhh it hurts, it hurts” had already become their mainstream tone. This was different from the pain in the joints and muscles. Just with the first movement, they could feel the pain from the soles of their feet to their whole body.
This can actually be explained by science.
"Chinese medicine experts believe that a person's feet are a microcosm of the entire body. The physiological functions of the body's internal organs are reflected in the reflex zones of the feet. That's why there is a saying that 'regular foot bathing' is good for the body."
Practicing martial arts is also a process of stimulating acupoints. It is not just about pricking the Tinggong acupoint for frequent tinnitus, or pressing the Kongzui or Jianjing acupoints for nosebleeds. Acupuncture is for curing diseases, while practicing martial arts is for opening up organs and meridians throughout the body.
Ye Yu is very strict about basic martial arts.
First, they completed the movements with her "assistance", and then they did the movements by themselves. Using her excellent vision, she measured that each movement had to reach more than 98% completion to be considered passed, and only after confirmation of completion could they proceed to the next one.
Therefore, the first move alone took them between one hour and two and a half hours.
Hua Feifei took the shortest time, one hour and twelve minutes.
This is normal. Women's strength and speed are not as good as men's, but their average flexibility is higher than men. They can learn and practice a whole set of skills faster than men, and therefore get more benefits from it. This is also one of the reasons why the average strength of men and women is gradually becoming equal.
Additionally, children tend to learn at an average rate faster than adults.
When Ye Yu was teaching Hua Feifei the second move, Wang Laoye stopped her: "You can't become fat in one bite, and you can't reach the sky in one step. They have practiced this move for today."
Indeed, even if Hua Feifei stopped, the pain in her body did not completely disappear, and she did not have the comfortable feeling after the massage.
This is because the acupoints are stimulated too much. If she wants to feel comfortable when practicing martial arts, her body organs must be opened up.
Elm leaves:
"All right."
Mr. Wang was very curious: "How long did it take you to learn this set of movements?"
Elm leaves:
"one day."
In the end times, people learn skills just to save their lives, so naturally they study hard, no matter if it is martial arts or shooting. Being forced into an extreme environment, everyone's speed increases, and no one can learn for more than seven days.
The instructors at the base don't have that much patience, and if you exceed that limit, you will be kicked out directly.
Of course, learning so intensively and so quickly will definitely hurt your body.
But people in the apocalypse are not afraid of the impact on their lifespan, because living to the end of their life is a joke in the apocalypse, not to mention that people with special powers have the body's self-healing mechanism.
As a semi-expert, Mr. Wang could see that these movements were really not simple and very difficult. It was hard to imagine that one person could learn all of them in one day. He sighed, "No wonder you said they couldn't reach your level. Your talent is one in a million, extremely rare."
Ye Yu knew that he had misunderstood something, but it was difficult to explain her martial arts training. After all, in this era, her instructor Gan Lin must have not been born yet, and it was not easy to fabricate such a person.
After holding on for ten minutes, Hua Feifei collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face, unable to lift a finger.
Han Jing and Xu Fei were still struggling with the first move. Han Jing was the second one to learn it. After Han Jing learned it, it took Xu Fei more than 50 minutes to master it. This time showed that his body was the stiffest.
It is so difficult for them to learn the first movement individually. The 108 movements become more and more difficult as they go on. Moreover, connecting them together and the mitering of the movements are even more difficult.
Ye Yu also let Xu Fei lie on the ground for half an hour, allowing the residual heat from practicing martial arts to flow through his body.
Then give the three of them a simple massage to help them recover.
In fact, if the three of them were not going down the mountain soon, Ye Yu would have skipped the massage step. She would have waited for them to recover on their own and then given them a hot bath to clear their meridians.
If they can get some tonic Chinese herbs such as ginseng, astragalus, deer antler, musk, cordyceps, dendrobium, snow lotus, etc., then it can be considered a medicinal bath.
Old Master Wang always thought of himself as a strict teacher. When he was young, he taught students in the village. Several of his team leaders were so shocked when they saw him that they felt like mice seeing a cat. He was so good at stopping children from crying.
But compared with Ye Yu, he was actually a soft-hearted person. He really should let the captain and the others see what true "ruthlessness" looked like.
At least before he said goodbye, he remembered to give Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei each a bowl of ginger soup.
Ye Yu rubbed the old man's ginger soup and said before leaving: "When they can perform more than ten moves in a row, they can go up the mountain to learn external skills from the old man, or exchange external skills."
There are many kinds of martial arts in the apocalypse, but she learns them mainly to kill monsters, mostly killing moves. It is really better to learn external skills from Mr. Wang than to learn more in line with the current situation.
Master Wang had figured out something from this. Every movement of Ye Yu was too clean and neat. The martial arts he learned were obviously closely related to Taoism, but when he used them, they were not so Taoist. When he looked closely, he could feel the Taoist carefreeness everywhere.
What Ye Yu has learned is too advanced and is not suitable for beginners, just like a university professor may not be able to get along well with elementary school students. As long as Hua Feifei's physical condition changes a little, the teaching of the forest ranger may be more suitable for them.
Mr. Wang did not refuse, but he still gave Ye Yu a look of disgust.
He snorted coldly and closed the door.
"Not only is he socially phobic, he's also a bit arrogant." Ye Yu shrugged.
Hua Feifei:
"What is pride? Pride?"
Ye Yu looked her up and down: "You are like this."
I always feel that it is not a good word. Hua Feifei really has no confidence in herself.
There is a saying:
“It’s easier to go up the mountain than to go down.”
Next, Hua Feifei, Han Jing, and Xu Fei deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.
When going up a mountain, the center of gravity of the human body is downward, and the force exerted by oneself is upward. The two forces are in opposite directions, achieving a balance, and are easier to control. However, when going down a mountain, the center of gravity is downward, and the force exerted by oneself is also downward, making it very easy to lose balance, especially when the mountain is high and the slope is steep, and one may end up rolling down accidentally.
Although the three of them wished they could actually roll down, just controlling their body balance required the use of multiple muscles, especially the legs.
When a person is able to control the body's center of gravity, he or she can use the downward force of gravity as a kind of acceleration, making it easier to go downhill.
Ye Yu is a typical example.
When he climbs up the mountain and jumps among the trees, he looks like a light elf in the mountains, especially with a little sparrow often standing on his shoulder. When he goes down the mountain, he seems to be flying. Coupled with the vast snowy world, he looks more like a fairy descending from the sky.
But this fairy is really cruel. She holds a sweet promise in her mouth while watching them struggle hard. If they lose their balance accidentally, they will surely be greeted with vicious sarcasm.
For example:
“You look like you have an underdeveloped cerebrum and an underdeveloped cerebellum.”[1]
“…”
What is cerebrum and cerebellum? I don't fully understand what you are saying, but incomplete development is not a good thing anyway.
Of course, they were also grateful that when they were in danger, Ye Yu would grab them or extend a hand to pull them out of the snow pit.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, it was already dark. It was actually ten days later than when we returned from the Red Flag Brigade yesterday, and we were even more tired and exhausted than yesterday.
There were more people gathered at the foot of the mountain to welcome them than yesterday.
It’s just that yesterday the villagers were worried about what might happen to them when they went out, but today they didn’t leave the village again, and they were shouting louder and more miserable than anyone else on the top of South Mountain. They were very curious about what these educated youth were doing on the top of the mountain.
Some people also told the children in the village about the glorious deeds of the forest rangers, which frightened them so much that they immediately told them to be obedient and not to send them to Nanshan.
Yes, generation after generation, Mr. Wang can now even stop a baby from crying.
Ye Yu touched her nose, as if she had put part of the blame on the old man.
In short, in a nutshell, these people came to watch the fun. Even the captain and his wife were among them. It can only be said that there is too little entertainment in the countryside.
