第二式停车问路

接以上式：

第一步丁步 sword 指

接以上式状态，将身体重心转移到右边，同时将right sword从left hand的下方缓缓提升并绕圆形地划出，并随着身体重心一起提高放置在身体的right side;接着体会一下身姿轻松地turn around to the right, with the right foot stepping forward and slightly upward while the left foot follows closely behind, toe pointing down and heel lifted into a "left ding step" posture; meanwhile both hands draw circles by their sides with palms facing inward and holding swords at body's back on one side and stretching out on other side in front of body.

[Key Points]

Ensure that both feet move smoothly up while hands draw circles in sync.

[Analysis]

"Sword Pointing" is using the index finger and thumb to extend straight together while curling other fingers; this move has an attacking intention towards opponents.

第二步虚步穿 sword

继续执行动作，将body rotate 180 degrees to form a "left virtual step", then use left hand to catch sword while extending right hand as a pointer upwards. Bend elbow across chest area, hold it there with left hand gripping it tightly before flipping wrist downward toward belly button area.

Then flip wrist again to reverse grip of sword handle so that palm faces downwards before pushing it forward above head level for piercing motion aiming at forehead height.

Keep looking directly at tip of weapon during action.

(图8—9, 10)

[Key Points]

To ensure smooth transfer between catching the sword and pointing it upwards simultaneously.

[Analysis]

Piercing Sword is about reversing grip of hilt horizontally above head level for piercing motion aiming at forehead height;

this technique has an attacking intention towards opponents' throat area.
