Before long, Teng Qing Shan was three years old.
Early in the morning, a red-lipped and white-toothed little boy wearing cotton-padded clothes was having breakfast with a kind-faced woman. It was Teng Qing Shan and his mother, Yuan Lan.
"Green mountain, do you want a younger brother or sister?" Yuan Lan looked at her son with kindness.
Everyone wants it." Teng Qing Shan ate a big bowl of porridge in one gulp.
"Hmm, then Ill just have twins." Yuan Lan smiled and rubbed her belly, which was slightly bulging. She was almost four months pregnant.
"Mom, Ive finished eating."
Teng Qing Shan threw down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out.
"Slow down, be careful with your feet." Yuan Lan said, then looked at Teng Qing Shans rice bowl and shook her head in amazement. "This kid, Qing Shan, has a huge appetite. He ate two pancakes this morning and now hes eating a big bowl of porridge. Hes only three years old...he eats almost as much as I do."
Teng Qing Shan, a three-year-old child can eat so much, in Teng Village, many people mention Teng Qing Shan and sigh with admiration.
……
"The better you eat, the better." Teng Qing Shan walked on the small path, muttering to himself, "This represents my strong internal organs, strong absorption ability, and robust Qi and blood in my body."
Coming into this world, Teng Qing Shans life was very easy. Here, he had no enemies, only parents who cared for and protected him. As for playing with two or three year old kids, that was a torture for him!
So Teng Qing Shan, very much at ease, began training according to his own plan.
As a super killer, Teng Qing Shan was very clear about when and what to train.
Although he is said to be three years old this year, babies are considered "one year old" from birth, so he has actually only been in this world for two years. In these two years, he didnt dare do any strength training, the only thing he did was - exercise his flexibility and accelerate muscle growth.
This set of methods was summarized by Teng Qing Shan based on ancient yoga and basic internal martial arts.
Childrens bodies are flexible and easy to exercise.
It takes an adult one and a half years of practice to be able to split their legs into a straight line, but for kids, it only takes ten days or half a month. This is because childrens muscles and bones are soft, and they are also in the stage of rapid growth.
The more flexible the body is, the stronger the muscles and bones are, the better it is for practicing internal martial arts.
"Qing Shan, going to the martial arts arena to have fun?" Occasionally on the road, there were some villagers who smiled and talked to Qing Shan.
"Hmm." Teng Qing Shan nodded.
The martial arts arena is a vacant lot with a length and width of over 200 meters. Every morning, the men of Tengjia Village would train in the martial arts arena.
"Cheers!"
"Ah!"
A loud and powerful "Hah!" sound, like a rolling thunder, came from the front.
Teng Qing Shan finally arrived at the martial arts training ground, where hundreds of people stood in a vast open space, all wearing only their upper garments, with sweat dripping from their bodies. Each person held a long spear and stabbed forward repeatedly. Hundreds of people shouted slogans in unison, stabbing their spears again and again. Teng Qing Shan watched and couldnt help but feel his blood boiling with excitement.
On the edge of the martial arts arena, there were many little children staring with wide eyes.
"Top flat, shoulder flat, gun flat, foot flat, body flat!" A loud shout echoed throughout the martial arts arena, a lean and sharp-eyed middle-aged man was walking in the center of the arena, suddenly, he kicked one leg, kicking the thigh of a man holding a long spear beside him, causing the opponent to stumble.
"Your body is swaying back and forth, wheres your waist strength? Has it all been wasted on that stinky girl? Stand up straight!" the thin man scolded.
"Yes, master." The man stood up straight and didnt dare say another word.
"Eat bitterness now, when we encounter bandits and mountain beasts later, there will be less bloodshed!" The thin man said coldly as he walked, "When faced with danger, we can only rely on ourselves."
"Alright, now its time to wield the big gun." The thin man shouted, "Front hand holds, back hand turns... aim at the direction and thrust out. Whether its defense or attack, you can rely on this move. Once you master it, youll be able to save your lives when you encounter danger."
One by one, men familiar with this move.
They dont know how many times theyve practiced this move.
Hong Qing Shan looked at this scene, a smile appeared on his face.
"Teng family village men train every day, this training is simple but very effective. However, Zhong Ping Ci and Dou Da Qiang these two moves are enough to practice for a lifetime." Teng Qing Shan was after all a master of Xingyiquan in his past life, and Xingyiquan itself is gun fist.
Whether its a collapse fist or a drill fist, both have the meaning of a long gun.
Teng Qing Shan could see that Teng Family Villages good men, casually coming out with dozens of them, forming a gun array, their power was not to be underestimated.
"With the might of the Teng family, ordinary bandits wouldnt dare to mess with them!" Teng Qingshan couldnt help but think of the White Horse Gang. "However, that White Horse Gang is the largest gang within a 200-mile radius of Yicheng, and to join them, ones physical quality is also required. Even so, the White Horse Gang still has a core membership of 8,000!"
Eight thousand core followers, and a large number of minor followers on the periphery.
He is absolutely the local emperor of Yicheng!
Hengjiazhuang also has to pay annual money every year to ensure peace.
……
Watching hundreds of Han people training within the tribe, Teng Qing Shan suddenly had an idea.
"My muscles and bones are flexible, Ive trained enough. Although its still not suitable for strength training with weights, but practicing Xingyiquan is no problem now." Teng Qing Shan watched for a while before jogging back home.
"Green Mountain, Im back." Yuan Lan was holding dirty clothes, ready to go out and wash.
"Uh, mom, Im tired, Ill take a nap." Teng Qing Shan went into his own room. As a three-year-old child, it was impossible for him to do any chores at home. His mother, Yuan Lan, didnt suspect anything with the excuse of wanting to sleep.
Close the house door and window.
"Its been a long time since I practiced Xingyiquan." Teng Qing Shan slightly stretched his muscles and bones, it had been years since he last practiced, and at this moment, Teng Qing Shan was also somewhat excited.
Taking a deep breath, his mood calmed down, and Teng Qing Shan began to demonstrate his skills in the house. He seamlessly combined Xingyiquans Twelve Shapes, Five Elements Fist, and Three-Body Stance, moving freely as he pleased. For a moment, he was a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, then a python coiling around its prey, and next a dragon emerging from the water...
Generally speaking, children with small arms and legs, even if they practice internal martial arts, are just going through the motions and have no actual effect.
Even with a strong sense of mastery, if the body is too small and cant stretch out, its not possible. So, Teng Qing Shan spent the past two years training his flexibility and strengthening his bones. Now, he can bend his waist backwards and touch his mouth to his feet. With this physical condition, he can easily display internal fist techniques.
The physical condition is ready, and there is also a masters consciousness, what else can be said?
The body moves, in coordination with the breathing method. The more Teng Qing Shan practices, the more energetic he becomes. This practice lasted for two hours, and the internal fist is practiced to increase energy, but Teng Qing Shan has already surpassed the beginner level, his consciousness is at the master level.
"Hurray!"
Teng Qing Shan couldnt help but let out two loud whoops of excitement as he fought his way to the very end.
"Its really refreshing all over, with a numbness in the muscles and bones throughout the body. Its truly comfortable. The effect of Neijiaquan is much better than that of ancient yoga." Teng Qingshan was overjoyed.
*******
Neijiaquan originally had the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, and with Teng Qing Shans past life memories, the practice of Xingyiquan naturally achieved the best results. He could even feel that every time he practiced Xingyiquan, his entire body was undergoing changes. His muscles and bones were rapidly improving, which of course required energy!
So, Teng Qing Shan can eat even more!
"Cheers!"
Teng Qingnian made a leap in his own backyard and then fell down, with one hand propping up the ground and making a flip, which was a double-leg choke.
"Breathe!"
With intense exercise, Qing Chen also assists with breathing and exhalation coordination.
The subtlety of Neijiaquan actually lies in the coordination of breathing techniques and body movements, which can also strengthen the internal organs and stimulate the muscles and bones.
Every time his father and mother were not at home, Teng Qing Shan would close the door and then practice in the courtyard.
"Huh?"
Teng Qing Shan was shocked and stopped in his tracks, then squatted down, slapping the ground with one palm. "Plop!" A hole appeared on the muddy ground.
"How is this possible?" Teng Qing Shan stood there in a daze, "Ive only been practicing Xing Yi Quan for just one month, how can I possibly produce internal energy? And my tendons and bones are still growing, they havent even reached their limits yet, how can I produce internal energy?"
Just now, Teng Qing Shans body produced internal energy.
According to the hierarchy of Neijiaquan, one should first cultivate the body. When the muscles in the body reach a certain limit and the blood is full of energy, it can be transformed into internal strength.
Now Teng Qing Shan is only three years old and has been practicing Xingyiquan for just one month. His body is still far from reaching its limit, with 108,000 li to go, how can he possibly produce internal energy?
"In ancient times and modern times, I have been practicing internal school boxing all along. How can there be such a big difference."
Hong Qings face suddenly changed, "Could it be..."
Ancient and modern times are indeed practicing internal family boxing. However, the environment of ancient and modern times is different. In modern times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become so thin that it can be ignored. What about ancient times?
"Its said that in ancient times, one could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate internal power. And this method of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is actually a kind of breathing technique." Teng Qing Shans eyes lit up, "My Neijiaquans breathing technique should also be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Could it be that during this month, while I was practicing Neijiaquan, I naturally absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which has now transformed into internal power?"
There is no other possibility.
Teng Qings bones and muscles are still in their early stages, so it is impossible for him to produce internal energy with his bodys refined blood.
There is only one interpretation - absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, producing inner power.
"Its impossible for a three-year-old to produce internal energy in modern times." Teng Qing Shan also felt his heart trembling, "Humans rely on food to absorb limited energy. But now that I can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, what level will I reach?"
In modern times, relying on eating to absorb energy, with limited energy, Neijiaquan can reach the realm of an SS-level killer.
And in ancient times, with endless absorption of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, what realm would a high-level internal martial artist attain?
Hong Qingshans eyes lit up.
Suddenly he was filled with a longing, a longing for the future!
In the future, what level will I ultimately reach!
"It seems that the training plan I made for myself needs to be changed." Tan Qing Shan felt a surge of inner energy, and for a moment, his ambition soared.
