X- Step back to drive away monkey (part 2)

1- First cycle

1- First part: continue to step forward

c- You’re standing with bent rear knee of the
"Four-Six" Stance and have viewing the right arm at the
East-North (fig. 1), now you follow it forwarding to the
North, still keep the rear heel sticking to the ground to
support the 60% of your whole weight. Raise the front knee
[= the left] (fig. 2) to drop back the left foot (drop the toes (2)
first) (fig. 3).
(3)
In the mean time, as a bird skimming from the sky,
the rear arm is simultaneously slanting over the front hand,
at this point, you’ve just twisted waist to face the West-
North and you’re standing on bent rear knee (which is now
the left knee), with opened front foot and you’re stretching
up both arms with opened palms like the bird spreading its
wings, seemingly being ready to catch the globe exactly you
did as described in the above No.1-a & b (fig. 4-5).
