In Part 2 I mentioned the second part of the vertical line configuration as part of the alignment of the vertical line that is also known as the Bell Clapper Line.

This configuration of the vertical line has an interesting skill attached to it. Basically, in order to allow the stone to descend you have to open up a shaft so that the stone can pass through.

If you practice this shaft opening until it feels real, you would have acquired the ability to neutralize a resisting strength by letting it come into you, direct it to the ground, and finally using the strength to rebound off the ground, and returning it to the opponent.

You can choose how fast and how much strength you want to allow to enter by applying the 3 Rollbacks.

If you want to hasten the speed of returning the strength back to the opponent you can use the Mountain Character path that I first mentioned here. Within the process of opening and closing you can make neutralizing and issuing appear to be instantaneous.
