Chapter 6 Morning Exercises

The morning air is fresh and comfortable, and the east side reveals half of the morning sun, red, exuding a soft light, covering a thin layer of clear veil for all things born in the morning, and exuding a charming luster.

In the distance, there was a faint fog, which was ethereal, not as if it were real. The wind blew lightly on the placket of the morning exercisers, naughtily drilled into the collar of people, and then gently blew a breath, and people's bodies involuntarily trembled slightly. In the morning, the heavens and the earth are quiet, the breeze is gentle, and all things are renewed.

Qin Xuan was running down the street, a smile on the corner of his mouth involuntarily, every morning he was intoxicated, every morning he felt like a newborn baby, constantly improving. The physical strength consumed during the exercise last night has long since recovered, and even surpassed, this is the reason why he feels reborn, and this kind of rebirth is only unique to Qin Xuan, no one can share it with him, no one can have his experience.

Qin Xuan ran quickly, stepping on a firm and powerful step, feeling the surging power from his body, Qin Xuan suddenly paused, feeling that something in his body seemed to be broken, Qin Xuan suddenly felt the vitality of everything around him, as if he was integrated with the whole heaven and earth, and entered a new world.

Qin Xuan was just running instinctively at this time, his brain was blank, his body instinctively dodged the obstacles in front of him, and when he ran all the way to the forest park, he got out of this state. At this time, Qin Xuan sat on the ground without any scruples, feeling that his body was very tired, as if he had just embarked on a long march of thousands of miles, and his muscles were also very sore, and he didn't want to move.

After a long while, Qin Xuan stood up, raised his hand, twisted his waist, and suddenly his body crackled, Qin Xuan felt comfortable all over his body, and his physical strength had increased a lot, only to realize that entering that state might be unattainable!

Looking around, Qin Xuan found that there were already a lot of people around, this forest park was specially established for people in the city, there were various exercise facilities in it, the government had called on people to do morning exercises in the morning, but there were very few people who came, and in the end, it was gone. Nowadays, most of the old people are active here, and the park has planted a large number of trees, and the morning air is fresh and pleasant, which is a good place for morning exercise.

Qin Xuan came to a railing, put his legs on the railing, and pressed his legs. Whether you are practicing martial arts or learning dance, or even as long as you are engaged in sports, leg press is a basic skill, put your legs on the opposite railing, straighten your legs, and then try to press your upper body down to the legs on the railing.

At first, it is difficult to touch the knees with the head, but later, not only the head will touch the legs, but the entire upper body will be soft against the legs, and in the end, both hands will pull your feet back until your jaw can touch your toes.

In fact, the front leg press, the side leg press, and the lunge leg press are all to stretch the muscles and bones of the whole body, make them more elastic, more varied in the exercise, and make movements that ordinary people can't reach. The better your basic skills, the less likely you will be to get hurt, the more volatile your moves will be, and the better your chances of winning against your enemies.

Qin Xuan has persevered since he was a child, and now his body is much more flexible than ordinary people. After exercising for a while, seeing that there were gradually more people, Qin Xuan rushed to his secret location.

It was still a place that Qin Xuan stumbled upon once, it was remote and sparsely populated, and Qin Xuan often practiced basic boxing and kicks there, which had the meaning of playing in the mountains and countryside.

However, there was a sudden shouting and the sound of wind from practicing fists and feet in front of him.

I saw an energetic old man standing in front of him, moving his fists and feet, but every ordinary movement made a loud sound, which showed that his skills were profound.

The old man nodded to Qin Xuan, and then practiced on his own.

Qin Xuan said hello to the old man and began to practice basic fists and feet. This old man, Qin Xuan had also met here once or twice, when the two of them practiced boxing separately and did not speak, but this old man did not come again in the future, and he didn't expect to see this old man again today.

After Qin Xuan finished practicing, he was already sweating profusely, and looked at the old man in the distance, only to see that the old man's whole body was windless and automatic, his body was squatting slightly, his hands were moving slowly, and his feet were slowly moving, he was playing the Tai Chi boxing that Qin Xuan wanted to learn, Qin Xuan's heart couldn't help but move, so he stood there and waited for the old man to finish playing, until the old man's last Tai Chi, he listened back, silently with light, and stopped slowly.

Qin Xuan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Old man, are you playing Tai Chi?"

"Hehe, young man, yes, but it's not the common Tai Chi on the market, but Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi Thirteen Styles. The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly.

"Zhang Sanfeng, that's very powerful, right?" Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"Zhang Sanfeng Taiji thirteen styles are unique in the world, although there are only thirteen styles, but they can be turned into thousands of tricks, all-encompassing, all-inclusive, broad and profound, and there is an unfathomable power in the depths of practice. ”

The old man was also interested, so he continued: "After Zhang Sanfeng created the Tai Chi Thirteen Styles, it was passed on to the Wudang Sect people, but due to the war, it was gradually lost, and by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the world only knew that the Tai Chi Thirteen Styles were such a unique learning, but no one knew this kind of boxing. The Taijiquan we see today is all created by later generations, not the thirteen styles of Zhang Sanfeng Taiji. ”

"Then old man, what did you practice just now?" Seeing the inconsistencies in what the old man said, Qin Xuan immediately asked puzzled.

"Hehe, what I practiced just now is also the thirteen styles of Tai Chi, but it is a simplified version, and it has long lost the essence of the year, only its form and no meaning, alas! I really want to see the original version!" Thinking of the regret, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Then old man, can I learn?" Seeing the old man sighing, out of his yearning for martial arts, Qin Xuan still asked.

"Hehe, I see you come here every day to practice your fists and feet, it seems that you are very interested in martial arts, there are really not many such young men now. The old man was relieved.

"Nowadays, many people only rely on science and technology, and they can't stand any hardship, how can anyone still practice martial arts!

"Okay, young man, I don't want this mastery to be lost, since you are interested in martial arts, then you can practice with me!"

"Hehe, young man, you don't have to worship me as a teacher, let's learn from each other!"

Then the old man began to teach in earnest.

I saw the old man's hands hanging down, the backs of his hands outward, his feet separated and parallel, and then his arms were slowly raised to his chest, his palms and faces into a yin palm, and his right palm turned over into a yang palm, and said: "This is the starting style of Taijiquan." "Follow the performance of one move and one style, and call out the name of the move: holding the bird's tail, single whip, carrying the hand to make the upper hand, the white crane flashing its wings, hugging the knee and hooking the step, waving the pipa, the progress of moving the hammer like a seal, the cross hand, holding the tiger back to the mountain...

About a meal, the old man made the step high to explore the horse, the step to grab the tail of the bird, a single whip and Tai Chi, standing on the ground calmly, he held a Tai Chi circle with both hands, and said: "The trick of this set of boxing is 'Void Spirit Strength, Chest and Back, Loose Waist and Hips, Heavy Shoulders and Elbows' Sixteen words, purely with intention, the most taboo force." The unity of form and spirit is the gist of this way. ”

The old man knew that Qin Xuan had not been exposed to Tai Chi, so he explained it in detail at the moment.

Qin Xuan listened without saying a word, knowing that the opportunity was rare, and he had no time to ask questions, although there were many things he didn't understand in the middle, but he could only remember it stubbornly, and slowly figure it out after he went back, and deduce the essence of it.

Seeing that Qin Xuan had realized, the old man smiled slightly, and then said: "With the heart and qi, the order is calm, and it can be restrained into the bones; ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he was thoughtful;

The old man continued: "Squeeze and press, pick your elbow and lean on the eight doors, for gossip." Forward and backward, looking left and right, stopping the five body methods as the five elements. Squeeze and press, it should be away from the four squares of the earthquake, and the elbow should be leaned on, but it should be the four oblique directions of the Qiankun Genxun, and the advance and retreat are determined by looking forward to the determination, that is, the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the combination is the thirteen styles of Taiji. ”

Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

The old man said: "Although it can't be compared with the real Thirteen Styles, it is also broad and profound. ”

After speaking, the old man continued to practice one move at a time, and Qin Xuan followed the learning one move at a time.

The old man taught seriously, Qin Xuan studied hard, and after an hour, the old man finally taught Zhang Sanfeng the simplified version of the thirteen styles of Tai Chi.

"Hehe, old man, my name is Qin Xuan, I don't know what you call it?" Qin Xuan hurriedly apologized after stopping his last action.

"Young man, you just call me old, alas, I'm tired today, go back and rest first, you continue to exercise!"

"Otherwise, Elder Fang, I'll send you away!" Qin Xuan hurriedly went up to help him.

The old man waved his hand and said as he walked, "Young man, no need, I'm not old yet, I'll go first." ”

Qin Xuan stopped and played Tai Chi again, although he was not very proficient, but he also had a trace of form and rhyme. After looking at the time, Qin Xuan immediately rushed to his uncle's house.

Pushing open the door, Cheng Tingting and Qin Mingming were holding rice porridge and eating them with relish.

Seeing Qin Xuan come in, Cheng Tingting hurriedly said, "Brother Xuanzi, hurry up and wash up and eat, it's almost late." ”

Qin Xuan didn't care, he knew that what Cheng Tingting said was exaggerating, so he went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into a set of clean clothes, and came to the dining table to eat rice porridge with pickles.

After breakfast, Qin Xuan and the three of them came to the hotel, got into Cheng Deming's car, and arrived at the school in about ten minutes.

After separating from Cheng Tingting in the first teaching building, Qin Xuan and Qin Mingming came to the classroom. At this time, the class was almost all there, and in the commotion, Qin Xuan greeted his familiar classmates, came to his seat, and began his morning reading.
