Chapter 127: Tai Chi Sword Technique
In front of a waterhole in the back mountain with Baizhu, Zhang Sanfeng sat on a bluestone on the shore and said leisurely: "Wei Gongzi, I see that you have a lot of grace between your behaviors, I don't know who you are learning from?"
"The family teacher Wu Lie, the ancestor is the predecessor of Wu Santong who followed Master Yideng back then. ”
Baizhu explained.
"Oh?"
Zhang Sanfeng was surprised: "I didn't expect that Gongzi Wei was actually a loyal martyr." ”
He also knew the deeds of Wu Santong guarding in Xiangyang back then, after he would say loyalty.
After a pause, he said again: "In this way, presumably Wei Gongzi's cultivation is the One Yang Finger of the One Lamp Master?"
"Yes. ”
Baizhu nodded: "However, the younger generation has learned a lot, and he has also cultivated several styles of dragon descending eighteen palms, as well as some extraterritorial martial arts." ”
"One yang finger, eighteen palms of the dragon ......"
Zhang Sanfeng repeated in a low voice a few times, and suddenly spoke: "Master Wei, I don't know if you have noticed one thing, that is, including these few kung fu you have cultivated, almost all the martial arts cheats on the rivers and lakes are this kind of kung fu that pursues fierceness and speed?"
"This, Zhang Zhenren, shouldn't we martial arts practitioners pursue these?"
Although he knew what Zhang Sanfeng was going to say next, Baizhu still asked cooperatively.
"Not really. ”
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said: "There is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching: the world is not weaker than water, and those who attack the strong can win." What does this mean?"
The meaning of this sentence is that nothing in the world is weaker than water, but if it is used to attack fortifications, it is also not stronger than water. ”
Baizhu replied.
"Yes, has that boy ever wondered why this phenomenon happened?"
Zhang Sanfeng asked.
"The younger generation is stupid, and I really didn't think about it. ”
Baizhu shook his head.
"Yes, not only Childe hasn't thought about it, but how many people in the world have thought about it?"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said: "The old way is not talented, I like to do these things that drill the horns, after all these years of thinking, I really found some martial arts truths." ”
"What is it?"
Knowing that Zhang Sanfeng was going to explain the principles of Taijiquan next, Baizhu's voice was a little lighter.
"Overcome rigidity with softness, brake with static, and take preemptive action from the rear!"
Zhang Sanfeng said word by word.
"The younger generation is puzzled......"
Hearing the core points of Taijiquan, Baizhu almost held his breath, waiting for Zhang Sanfeng's next talk.
"First of all, this is the softness that overcomes the rigid,"
Zhang Sanfeng didn't answer immediately, but stared at the lake and suddenly asked, "Master Wei, how do you think the softest water in the world can penetrate the boulder?"
Baizhu thought for a while: "The water drop stone wears ...... The key is persistence, if it were not for the water droplets that persisted in dripping for several years, or even decades, this boulder would not have been dripped through by water. ”
"Not bad!"
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Baizhu approvingly, and said: "This truth, Lao Dao is still the key to thinking about it after a few days. ”
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Water drops and stones are pierced, you need to persevere, and martial arts kung fu also needs to persevere!"
He stood up from the boulder and said, "When we practiced martial arts, our teachers taught us that to be 'intent to punch first' requires us to know what to do when we make moves, and not to be dominated by the body. ”
"Not bad. ”
Baizhu nodded.
Although Wu Lie's kung fu is not famous in the rivers and lakes, he has also taught the most basic truth of baizhu.
But in addition to the intention of punching first, Lao Dao also realized another equally important truth from this drop of water. ”
Zhang Sanfeng said: "That is the constant mind!"
Without waiting for Baizhu to ask, Zhang Sanfeng explained to himself: "The so-called continuous mind requires us to be continuous in our minds and fists when facing the enemy, just like this constantly dripping droplets, persevering!"
Baizhu thoughtfully: "Zhang Zhenren wants us to be 'constantly decisive'?"
He remembered that in the Heaven and Dragon Slayer, Zhang Sanfeng explained to Zhang Wuji the truth of "continuous determination".
"Constantly decisive?"
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Yes, Wei Gongzi, you summed up these words very well, that's right, it's just that you are constantly decisive!"
"I don't know what the so-called 'static braking' means?"
Baizhu continued to ask.
"First of all, Wei Gongzi, you must know that the word 'static' in 'braking with stillness' is not static stillness. ”
Zhang Sanfeng explained: "This 'stillness' is only relative to the enemy's 'movement', and it is necessary to know that there is no truth in the world that immobility is better than motion. ”
Baizhu nodded in understanding.
"Secondly, this 'static braking' is to be associated with 'rear strike'. ”
Zhang Sanfeng brushed his beard and said: "The art of war is cloudy: it is better to be still than to move, the enemy does not move, I do not move, if the enemy moves, I will move first." This set of swordsmanship pondered by the old way pays attention to the absolute speed between the size and the millimeter, and only in this way can we strike backward!"
Baizhu suddenly realized.
He had always been a little puzzled before, why Taijiquan was so slow and slow in martial arts, and he could be preemptive, and when he heard Zhang Sanfeng's explanation, he understood the reason.
Next, Zhang Sanfeng explained in detail the martial arts mystery of Tai Chi swordsmanship for Baizhu.
As a guest of later generations, Baizhu has long had a lot of understanding of Taijiquan in his mind, so every time he intersperses a sentence in Zhang Sanfeng's explanation, it will attract Zhang Sanfeng's sideways.
Sometimes, some of the unique ideas that Baizhu put forward even made him feel like a treasure.
As a result, Zhang Sanfeng, who originally planned to explain Baizhu for a few days, was out of control and directly left Baizhu in Wudang Mountain for more than two months.
......
"Wei Gongzi, although you are asking Lao Dao for swordsmanship, but in Lao Dao's opinion, I have also gained a lot from you. ”
On this day, Zhang Sanfeng, who felt that he had taught all the Tai Chi swordsmanship to Baishu, let out a sigh.
"Zhang Zhenren, don't say that,"
Baizhu hurriedly said: "Thanks to Zhang Zhenren's dislike, the younger generation can get a glimpse of the highest meaning of martial arts of 'braking with quietness and striking later', I am too late to be grateful, how dare I take credit?"
Baizhu is telling the truth.
Although he has not fully comprehended the Tai Chi sword technique in the past two months, the relevant principles have been deeply rooted in his memory and turned into his own knowledge.
Maybe his strength on paper has not been improved, but his martial arts cultivation has improved not a little, and when he learns new secrets knowledge in the future, these things will bring him great benefits.
Generally speaking, according to Xianxia, in the past two months, Baizhu's spiritual cultivation has been greatly improved, laying a solid foundation for his future strength.
"Well, since Wei Gongzi doesn't want to take credit, Lao Dao won't say more,...... By the way, what is the opinion of Wei Gongzi on the name of this set of swordsmanship?"
Zhang Sanfeng asked.
"Hmm...... This set of swordsmanship has a completely different principle from the previous martial arts cheats, and it can even be said that it has reopened a new world of martial arts, which is not as good as ...... It's called Tai Chi swordsmanship. ”
Baizhu's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he directly said the original answer.
"Tai Chi?"
Hearing this word, Zhang Sanfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered to himself: "Tai Chi gives birth to two yi, two yi turns into four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip...... Tai Chi is the beginning of all things and the source of heaven and earth. ”
Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Master Wei, it seems that you have great expectations for the swordsmanship of Lao Dao." ”
Bai Shu nodded with a smile and said, "For juniors, this sword technique is indeed tantamount to reopening another universe for my martial arts path, the word Tai Chi is very suitable." ”
"Haha, okay, Lao Dao originally felt that the word Tai Chi was a bit too big, but since even Wei Gongzi was so confident in this set of swordsmanship, then this set of swordsmanship is called Tai Chi swordsmanship!"
Hearing Baizhu's statement, Zhang Sanfeng was also proud.
