Chapter 150: Teaching Liao Shao

"That's a good point. The Zuo brothers shouted in unison.

"Two Uncle Zuo, you're scared of Yi'er!" Liao Jiayi's body trembled, and then leaned closer to Wu Lang's side.

Wu Lang turned his head to look at her, and continued: "Taijiquan is related to the three talents of heaven, earth and man, after the heaven is Taijiquan from nothingness to Wuji, it must be spiritually monographed, so that the six sets are guarded on the spiritual platform, waiting for the ancestor of the innate true one, the two hands hanging down next to the crotch, slowly hugging and flipping, should not be separated from the loose, not from the circle, not from the circle. At this time, the spirit focuses on the center point of the infinite circle, so that the true spirit gathered by itself and the true spirit of the sky merge into the heart, and at the same time, the shoulders must be lowered and the elbows must be lowered, the chest and back must be pulled, the waist must be loosened and the waist must be relaxed. Tai Chi is complete in internal meaning, then there is a hundred passes, the upper and lower phases are integrated with the inside and outside, the movement and static are clear, and the virtual and real are clearly distinguished, so as to have an effect. The ground is connected to the front of the action inside and outside, the spirit is concentrated in the total point of the twelve dragon veins in the crypt, so that the true qi gathered by water, fire and wind is also collected in the center of the infinite circle, so as to promote its own yin and yang and heaven and earth yin and yang in its own acupoints, practice the above heaven and earth yin and yang and human and earth yin and yang of the exercises, do not ignore the spiritual monograph, if there is no such idea psychologically, it will lose its effect! Because the fetus is the foundation of life, the muscles, bones, blood, internal organs and five organs are born from this, practicing Tai Chi internal strength is not from the external frame, if the psychology and physiology do not cooperate, and the physical is not combined, then the internal strength is not reached, because the mind is the mother of internal strength!"

"Little brother, my two brothers toast you with a bowl of wine, and after drinking, then speak slowly. The Zuo brothers stood up from their seats at the same time, holding the bowl with both hands, and looked at Wu Lang with admiration in their eyes.

Wu Lang also hurriedly got up from the chair, held the bowl with both hands, and the Zuo brothers, saluted each other, and then, raised his head and drank it all, his left foot was silent, quietly and gently moved the chair to Liao Aotian's side, and then sat down.

"Brother Wolf, you go on, everyone is waiting to hear it. After Liao Jiayi finished speaking, she drank the "men's blood" in the cup in one gulp, sat on the chair, raised her body slightly, hooked the two fingers of her left hand under the chair, so that the whole chair was off the ground, and moved to Wu Lang's side, and then, the elbow of her right hand was placed on the dining table, and her palm supported her jaw, looking at Wu Lang quietly.

Wu Lang pretended not to see her small movements, and continued: "Practicing Tai Chi requires the whole body to relax, first of all, the relaxation of the mind, and calming the mind is an important part of strengthening the body and curing diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a person is dominated by the heart, which mainly refers to the brain, and whether mental health directly affects physical health, as the saying goes, "illness is born from the heart, and life is died by the heart". Tai Chi exercise through the standing pile and the plate frame, with soft and soothing movements and fascinating boxing fun, to attract attention to the exercise, with the mind to guide the internal qi, guide the action, with a relaxed and pleasant image thinking to eliminate all kinds of distractions, eliminate mental fatigue and tension, to achieve the movement of still, exercise the brain nerves. There are 33 vertebrae in the human spine, 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral vertebrae (one piece), 4 tail vertebrae (one piece), there is a spinal cord in the spine, and each vertebra has a pair of nerves through and distributed to the five internal organs and limbs. When there is a problem with one of the vertebrae, symptoms will appear in the corresponding position of the body, such as the dislocation of the 10th, 11th, and 12th segments of the thoracic vertebrae, which may cause stomach ulcers. Conversely, when there is a problem with a certain part of the body or an organ, the corresponding part of the spine will also have uncomfortable symptoms. For example, diseases of the heart, trachea, and ears can cause uncomfortable symptoms of neck 4, chest 2, 3, and 4. Practicing Tai Chi requires the upper collar of the vertebrae to sink, the joints to loosen, the void and the void to align, combined with the change of fist momentum, to be like a silkworm like wriggling, snake-like swinging, twisting like a rope, like a grinding disc to rotate, inducing the internal qi to run through the spine and close to the back, producing a unique sense of comfort and pleasure. When the spinal nerve is healthy, it can effectively command and regulate various physiological functions to play an efficient role, and help to dredge the second pulse of Rendu and enhance internal strength. ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Lang drank the wine bowl in front of him again, looked at Mrs. Liao, and said with a smile: "Auntie, your body has just recovered, and taking time to practice Tai Chi every day will not only help your cultivation recover, but also be very beneficial to your body that has been lying in bed for a long time." ”

"It's good, but I don't know tai chi, can you take the time to teach me?" said Mrs. Liao with a smile.

After Liao Aotian and the Zuo brothers heard this, their expressions were slightly stunned, and then they returned to normal, and they toasted each other with Wu Lang.

"No problem, aunt. Wu Lang nodded in agreement.

"Brother Wolf, I'll pour you wine, you continue. After Liao Jiayi finished speaking, she got up from her chair and poured wine into Wu Lang's bowl of sea.

Wu Lang stood up and handed a cigarette to Liao Aotian, Liao Nanxing, and the Zuo brothers, and then lit one himself, took a deep breath, and continued: "The human body has twelve meridians, eight strange meridians, and a total of 20. The straight ones are called meridians, and there are countless horizontal meridians, which are collectively called meridians. The meridians are the channels and sensors that connect the five internal organs and six internal organs, the limbs and hundreds of bones, the five senses and nine orifices, the skin and hair, and use them to run qi, blood, and nutrition around the body. The meridians are the activity map of the human body, the twelve meridians are like rivers, the eight meridians are lakes, the fifteen meridians are like mountains and streams, and the five internal organs are the reservoirs of the human body, which constitute a whole of the human body, so that the functions of the various tissues and organs of the human body are coordinated and relatively balanced, and once the meridians lose coordination and balance, people will get sick. The exercise of Tai Chi first liberates the squeezing constraints on the meridians due to tension and contraction through the relaxation of the whole body; secondly, it advocates "moving and moving", every bone joint, every muscle, and every internal organ must move, and through the spiral twisting drill, the combination of inside and outside, and the corresponding touch and friction of three-dimensional staggering, to achieve the dredging of essence and qi; Tai Chi pays attention to the practice of mind and qi, and advocates the idea of guiding internal qi, following the meridians, stimulating the acupuncture points, and keeping the meridians unimpeded. In particular, the soothing running speed of Tai Chi is almost synchronized with the sensing speed of 0.1 meters per second of the meridians, which has a unique adaptive channeling effect on the meridians, and the meridians are unblocked, and the body is healthy. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, Liao Jiayi snatched the remaining cigarette holder from Wu Lang's hand, put it in the ashtray, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in her mouth, lit it, took a deep breath, and handed it to Wu Lang.

Liao Aotian frowned slightly, glared at his daughter, and did not speak.

Wu Lang nodded and smiled at her, took the cigarette, took a puff in his mouth, and continued: "Human beings live in this world, bacteria and viruses are everywhere, and they threaten life, health and safety all the time. In the fight against these health killers, humanity is always the victor. This miraculous power to defeat disease is immunity, that is, resistance, in the human body. It comes from the immune system in the human body. There are two fierce generals in the "immune army", one is the bone marrow, which is the source of the body's immunity, and the other is the thymus, which is the center of the body's immunity. In addition, the intestines and spleen also have the function of defending against diseased bacteria. Scientific research has proved that Tai Chi exercise can significantly improve the work efficiency of immune organs such as the spleen, thymus and lymph nodes, so that lymphocytes can produce more immunoglobulins, and strengthen the body's own immune "defense force". Once a pathogen invades, it can be eliminated in time to maintain human health. ”

"Brother wolf, bone marrow, I know, what is the thymus?" Liao Jiayi shook Wu Lang's arm and said with a smile.

"The thymus gland is located in the upper part of the anterior mediastinum behind the sternal stem, and the back of the gland is attached to the pericardium and in front of the large blood vessels, and is formed by asymmetrical left and right lobes, which are of different shapes, sometimes short, thick, hypertrophied or long flat strips, which are larger in newborns and early childhood, 10 to 15 grams, and a maximum of 25 to 40 grams in sexual maturity, after which they begin to atrophy and gradually become smaller, only 10 to 15 grams in the elderly, and their essence is mostly replaced by adipose tissue and becomes light yellow. The surface is covered with a connective tissue membrane and extends into the glandular parenchyma, dividing it into several thymic lobules, each of which is divided into two parts: cortex and medulla. Wu Lang said.

"Sister, don't keep interrupting, listen to Alang continue. Liao Nanxing frowned slightly.

"Sister doesn't understand, you can't ask, I knew that Brother Wolf was coming to our house today, so I won't go out, let him not treat your injuries, you continue to lie in bed and suffer." Liao Jiayi shouted.

"Okay, you two will quarrel as soon as you meet, listen to Alang. Mrs. Liao looked at the two of them with some anger and said.

After listening to their mother's words, the brother and sister hurriedly sat upright, without squinting or saying a word.

Wu Lang continued with a smile: "The blood circulation system is known as the tireless "transportation line", which transports nutrients and waste materials for the body's metabolism in a tense and orderly manner. With the acceleration of people's work rhythm, the increase of mental pressure, and the imbalance of diet, the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases have increased year by year, which seriously threatens human health. Through the movement of different fists, Tai Chi exercise effectively promotes the periodic contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles, chest cavity and abdominal cavity, promotes the return of venous blood, achieves timely replenishment of nutrition, eliminates waste, and maintains good health. Life is inseparable from food, and life without ingestion is like a flower on the desert, and withering will be the only fate. Diet is inseparable from digestion, without the transformation of digestion into nutrients in the diet, the delicacies of the mountains and seas can only be some useless waste residues. Digestion is the body's means of absorbing various nutrients. Use the right health care measures to create a healthy state of digestive organs, do a good job of common precautions in life, and achieve a choice of food, delicious and nourishing in one. During boxing, through abdominal breathing, the diaphragm muscles are promoted to lift and lower, through the folding and transportation of the chest and abdomen, the gastrointestinal peristalsis is driven, and the abdominal cavity is bulging through the qi sinking dantian, and the saliva secretion is promoted through the tongue against the palate, which improves the digestion, absorption and excretion functions. A person's digestion, absorption, and excretion function are better, and the body is healthy. ”

"Breath comes with it, it passes with death, and it runs through the whole life of a person. A person can go days without eating, but not for a moment. The respiratory system is the body's natural gas replacement station, inhaling fresh oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, a process that is completed by the respiratory system. When breathing, the human body is exposed to various microorganisms, harmful and toxic substances, which leads to diseases of the respiratory system, reduces the gas exchange function of the human body, and affects the health of the body. Playing Tai Chi can make the qi flow smoothly, the breathing is even, and it has the effect of replenishing qi and benefiting the lungs. It has the effect of rehabilitation treatment for chronic bronchitis, emphysema, active tuberculosis and other diseases. The human locomotor system consists of 206 bones, hundreds of bone connections and more than 600 skeletal muscles. Only then can the human body stand upright in the world, walk between heaven and earth, and make all kinds of beautiful movements. Since they are also the objects of negative force, the chances of sports injuries are greatly increased. With the growth of age, bone hyperplasia, osteoporosis and other diseases seriously affect modern people, Tai Chi requires obvious action essentials for each bone joint of the body, requiring stretching of muscles and bones, release of joints, internal qi through the bones and fascial muscles, and urge the muscles and bones to move in accordance with physiological laws, which can prevent osteoporosis, prevent stroke, rheumatism, prevent deformity and hunchback, and maintain a straight body shape and light and steady body movements. ”

"Ah Lang, worthy of studying medicine, he integrates Tai Chi and the knowledge he has learned, and his words are simple and easy to understand, which makes people listen to it at a glance, amazing, amazing!" Liao Aotian laughed.

"Liao Lao has won the award, I am a lot of talk on paper, and I still lack practical experience. Wu Lang hurriedly smiled.

"Don't be modest, just because you can just beat Tai Chi out of the "trajectory", it is enough to prove that you are not just a theory, and you can even bring out as many as seven "trajectory" phantoms, my brothers have been practicing for many years, but they can only play six phantoms, I sincerely admire you, come, don't say much, dry this bowl of wine. After Zuo Qian finished speaking, he and his younger brother picked up the big bowl at the same time and drank it in one gulp.

Wu Lang also hurriedly smiled and picked up the big bowl and drank it all.

"Ah Lang, do you see how far my martial arts have reached now, and I am still far from cultivating my internal strength?" asked Liao Nanxing.

"This has to be pointed out by your father, he is a top master, I don't dare to make an axe. Wu Lang hurriedly waved his hand and smiled.

"Alang, just talk about it, I sometimes say that he doesn't listen, you young people are easy to communicate with. Liao Aotian said.

"Yes, Alang, don't be modest, I didn't understand what was going on that day, and I was kicked and knocked unconscious by you," Liao Nanxing said.

Wu Lang smiled: "You are still in a state of external strength, you have not cultivated to internal strength, you rely on the brute force of your body to drive your limbs, I used internal strength that day to shatter all the muscles and veins of your jaw and legs, relatively speaking, a little bit better than you." ”

Liao Aotian's face was as usual, but he sighed in his heart: Don't be a little smarter, if you really start to do it, the old man is afraid that he will only work hard to make internal efforts, and he may not be able to take you down, Alang, you are too modest!

"How exactly does the internal strength work?" Liao Nanxing continued to ask.

Wu Lang pondered slightly, took a deep puff of cigarette, looked at everyone, and said: "I don't know about the others, I can only tell you my own understanding, if there is something wrong with the other party, please also ask Liao Lao and Auntie, the two Uncle Zuo for guidance." ”

Liao Aotian hurriedly said: "Don't dare to give advice, it's okay to learn from each other." ”

Immediately, Wu Lang said: "Before talking about the internal force, I will first talk about the elastic recovery force, when the external force less than the elastic limit deforms the object, and the force that restores its original shape when the force is removed, the internal force in the physical sense is also called stress, that is, the elastic recovery force, the magnitude of the recovery force is proportional to the displacement, and the direction is opposite to the displacement. If the inertial force is the ability of an object to maintain its established state of motion, then the elastic force is the ability of an object to maintain its established shape. In vertebrates, ligaments are cords of connective tissue that connect bone pieces to each other, closely parallel to elastic fibers. Ligaments are flexible, fibrous, dense connective tissues. It attaches to the movable part of the bone, limiting its range of motion from injury. Ligaments connect bone to bone, and tendons connect bone to muscle. The ligaments are mostly located around the joint (extracapsular ligament) or in the joint cavity (intracapsular ligament), and their direction is parallel, with strong tensile resistance and a certain elasticity. Ligaments located outside the capsule are either separated from the capsule or thickened by local fibers or a continuation of tendon attachment, and the ligaments located within the joint capsule are surrounded by synovium. ”

After Wu Lang finished speaking, he asked Liao Jiayi to find a pen and paper, draw the tendons and bones of the human body, get up from the chair, sit next to Liao Nanxing, point out to him, and then said: "The tendons and ligaments will have a certain stretch and deformation under the action of external force. The force that quickly returns to its original shape after removing the external force is not only an internal force in the martial sense, but also an internal force in the physical sense. Therefore, we can consciously train the tendons and ligaments accordingly according to the needs of various technical movements, enhance their elastic resilience, and increase the amplitude of internal strength transmission to make it serve the technical attack. Elasticity training is different from flexibility training, the purpose of flexibility training is to increase joint ligaments, tendons, muscles, The elasticity and stretching ability of the skin and other tissues, that is, the range of motion of the joints and the joint system, only a strong bow and a crossbow can make the arrow shoot a strong force, therefore, good flexibility does not equal strong elastic resilience, for example, a weak and boneless acrobat is by no means a symbol of strength, on the contrary, some seemingly stiff objects, but have a strong elastic resilience, for example, the hip joint is much greater than the shoulder joint. ”

Liao Nanxing is also a person with a very high understanding, nodding while listening, looking at Wu Lang, he couldn't help nodding, and the look of admiration in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

Liao Jiayi also sat next to Wu Lang like a fart, looking intently at the human skeletal tendon diagram drawn on the paper.

Liao Aotian and the others listened to Wu Lang's words and pondered one after another.

"The generation of internal strength is actually how to use the dantian to exert force. The greatest strength of the human body is not in the limbs, but in the body, when the strength is exerted, the spherical cavity below the abdominal diaphragm and above the pelvis has to be as elastic as a leather ball, which is the work of fascia, and as strong as a steel ball, it is the work of the skeleton. Wu Lang continued.
