Chapter 102: Instructions: Xinyi Liuhequan
. In the days that followed, Liu Feng and his companions began a peaceful recuperation in the barracks.
Daily life in the barracks was simple and regular, like a piece of music carefully orchestrated by time, every note perfectly timed.
Every morning, the first rays of sunlight punctually penetrated the thin clouds, pouring down unreservedly on the wounded camp, bringing warmth and hope.
The warm sunlight gently soothed the weary bodies and minds of the soldiers, as if to assure them that everything would gradually heal.
Time slipped quietly, and by the third day, Zhang Feng's injuries had almost fully healed.
Eager to return to his unit, he stopped by their tent to say goodbye before departing.
"Brothers, I'm going back to the army now! When you're all healed, we'll find another opportunity to get together!"
Zhang Feng wore his usual bright smile, but his eyes held a deep reluctance to leave his comrades, a nostalgia for the bonds of life and death.
Liu Feng and the others offered their sincerest blessings.
As time slowly passed, Zhang Niu, Zhang Ma, and Aunt Liu gradually recovered.
Their bodies gradually regained their former vitality, like trees rejuvenated and flourishing.
They began to move around the wounded camp, savoring this hard-earned peace and quiet, each breath carrying the scent of freedom and comfort.
At this moment, only Liu Feng's arms were still a bit unsteady.
But his spirits were growing stronger, radiant like a lit torch.
The sun was exceptionally bright that day, the azure sky as clear as a mirror, without a trace of cloud.
Warm sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows across the open space of the wounded camp, resembling a natural ink painting.
Liu Feng sat in his hospital bed, quietly watching the leisurely movements of Zhang Niu, Zhang Ma, Liu Qing, and Aunt Liu outside . Suddenly, an idea
struck him.
He remembered that, in the recent past, he had not only successfully mastered the Six Forms of Xingyi, but had also, by chance, created a completely new form of boxing: Xinyi Liuhequan.
These precious experiences and achievements, which he hadn't yet shared, were like treasures hidden in a treasure box, eager to be presented to those closest to him.
The thought of this filled Liu Feng with excitement.
He slowly rose from his bed, took a deep breath, and savored the warmth and comfort of the sunlight on his body, as if all his pain had been healed in that moment.
Although his arm still ached, his eyes gleamed with excitement. With
steady, powerful steps, he approached the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, stop for a moment. I have something important to tell you!"
The four people heard Liu Feng's cry and turned their heads.
Zhang Niu asked with a smile, "Xiao Feng, why did you come out? Is your arm feeling better?"
His tone was full of concern, like the love an older brother has for his younger brother.
Liu Feng smiled and replied, "Much better, it doesn't affect me."
"Let me tell you, I've already successfully analyzed the new spirit skill, but I haven't had time to tell you yet. Why don't you take advantage of this time, while everyone has time, to teach you the latest Xingyi Six Forms."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces instantly showed surprise and joy.
Zhang Niu asked with concern, "Xiao Feng, has the new spirit skill really been analyzed? Tell us in detail."
Aunt Liu nodded continuously, her eyes fixed on Liu Feng, as if waiting for a wonderful performance.
Liu Feng cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I previously perfected the three-style boxing stance with everyone, and then later, Zhou Zheng, Zhang Xin, and I further analyzed the three-style stance. Ultimately, we developed six stances, collectively known as the Xingyi Six Styles." "
I figured that since we've been through so many life-and-death trials together, I'd like to pass on these newly completed six-style stances to you so that you can all gain more self-protection skills."
His words were filled with sincerity and responsibility, a desire to pass this strength on to everyone.
Everyone was deeply moved.
Zhang Ma exclaimed, "Xiaofeng, you're really getting better and better! We're so glad we made the right choice."
His voice tinged with eagerness, eager to learn this brand-new style.
Liu Feng nodded in agreement and patiently began to explain, "Of the six Xingyi styles, everyone is more or less familiar with the first three. I'll focus on the last three."
"The first is called 'Giant Python Entanglement.' It's primarily used to strengthen the bones, muscles, and fascia."
"Look, like this—"
With that, Liu Feng began a live demonstration.
Although his arm injury slowed his movements, the subtlety of his movements was still evident.
His body resembled a nimble python, twisting and tangling in space. Each movement imbued him with a sense of immense power, seemingly stirring the very air around him.
"When you practice, be sure to feel the stretching of every muscle and bone in your body. Imagine yourself as a majestic python, freely moving and hunting through the dense forest."
Liu Feng demonstrated while explaining the key points of the movements in detail. His voice was clear and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a magical power, guiding everyone into the wonderful world of martial arts.
Everyone stared at him intently, their eyes gleaming with curiosity, and from time to time they imitated a few moves,
learning them with great accuracy.
Though their movements were still a little awkward, their seriousness and focus were deeply moving.
Liu Feng then began to explain the "Cat's Hundred Transformations."
As he spoke, he demonstrated several swift turns and punches.
His figure moved swiftly in the sunlight, like a flash of black lightning, dazzling the eyes.
Finally, Liu Feng explained the "Exhalation Like Thunder." "This form uses a unique breathing technique to invigorate soul energy and vibrate the breath, using the breath to vibrate the chest and abdomen, thereby strengthening the abdominal organs."
"Come, everyone, follow me. Take a deep breath and then exhale sharply."
"Hmph, hah."
"Feel the intense vibrations of the breath in your chest and abdomen."
Liu Feng patiently demonstrated the breathing method, his voice firm and powerful, instilling a powerful sense of strength in the group.
Everyone fell into deep thought, then began to practice.
Their faces etched with concentration and determination, they constantly adjusted their movements, striving to master the essence of this form.
Under Liu Feng's guidance, the four began to practice together.
For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of powerful exhalations, like the rumble of thunder echoing through the air.
The sound was neat and powerful, full of strength, and it made people feel the charm of martial arts.
In the days that followed, the four of them diligently practiced the Xingyi Six Forms with Liu Feng every day.
Every morning, just as the first rays of sunlight broke, they would gather in the open space of the wounded barracks. Like a group of devout believers marching to a martial arts temple,
they would practice each movement over and over again, striving to achieve the perfect form.
Liu Feng would always patiently guide them, meticulously correcting any mistakes, not missing a single detail.
One day, Zhang Niu and Zhang Ma offered to bring lunch back for Liu Qing, Aunt Liu, and Liu Feng.
Watching them leave, Liu Feng turned and said to Liu Qing and Aunt Liu, "Dad, Aunt Liu, I've created a set of Xinyi Liuhequan that I'd like to teach you individually."
Liu Qing and Aunt Liu were puzzled, but they didn't ask any questions.
Liu Qing said, "Xiaofeng, we'll follow your instructions."
His words were filled with trust in his son, and he fully supported Liu Feng in whatever he did.
Liu Feng nodded and began to explain Xinyi Liuhequan. "This Xinyi Liuhequan primarily strengthens the body and improves physical fitness by stimulating and transporting Qi and blood."
"Its route begins at the heart and flows through the blood vessels, following the blood flow throughout the body."
"First, close your eyes, calm your mind, and feel your heartbeat. Then, imagine a warm current slowly flowing from your heart to every corner of your body."
"Also, pay attention to my movements. This boxing technique not only cultivates your internal Qi and blood, but also your external muscles and bones."
"You must ensure this inner and outer harmony for successful practice."
Liu Feng's voice was gentle yet firm, like a wise man revealing an ancient secret.
Liu Qing and Aunt Liu followed Liu Feng's instructions, closely observing his every move and beginning to absorb it.
Their eyes were filled with concentration and trust as they followed Liu Feng into a whole new world.
Liu Feng followed the movements and softly guided them, "Inhale slowly, feeling the warmth flow through your body. As you exhale, feel the warmth slowly return to your heart."
His voice was like a gentle melody, guiding their breathing and the flow of Qi and blood.
They practiced for a while according to Liu Feng's instructions. Perhaps because they had both practiced the Six Forms of Xingyi before, they soon felt a subtle warmth coursing through their bodies, their spirits lifted.
"Xiao Feng, this feels amazing," Aunt Liu exclaimed, her face filled with surprise and satisfaction.
Liu Feng smiled and said, "This is just a preliminary experience. Once you've mastered it, you'll be able to better control this power and
make your body stronger."
In the days that followed, in addition to teaching the four of them the Six Forms of Xingyi, Liu Feng would take time each day to individually teach his father and Aunt Liu Xinyi Liuhequan.
Time slipped quietly through this methodical practice, like a silent witness to everyone's growth and progress.
Thus, time in the barracks slipped quietly amidst everyone's diligent training.
Liu Feng's injuries slowly healed as he taught others.
His arms gradually regained their former strength, and his movements became more fluid and natural, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, displaying new vitality.
With Liu Feng's injuries fully healed, they were about to bid farewell to the wounded barracks and embark on a new life.
