Chapter 40: What Tai Chi?
“・・・”
As soon as she was new, Zhao Xiaoyan stretched out her hand to block the sunlight on her face, looked around silently, and immediately remembered what happened yesterday, I was actually drunk?
What does it taste like? It's... yes, it seems to be the apprentice's craft, hehe!
Shrugging her nose, Zhao Xiaoyan easily distinguished the aroma of the vegetables floating in the air, which were all unique dishes in northern China, and it was obvious that Jiangchuan Yangsheng did not have such skills.
Following the aroma of the vegetables, Zhao Xiaoyan easily found the hall (the bedroom is next to the hall...), and looked at the two bowls of ramen and a few stir-fried dishes on the table in surprise.
"Eating noodles early in the morning?"
"Oh, it's up. ”
Sitting outside the door, reading the newspaper in the sunshine, Jiang Chuan Yangsheng heard the voice behind him, turned his head to say hello and continued to read his newspaper, and threw out a sentence lightly.
"It's noon, anyway, when did you get up after you got drunk and wasn't noon?"
"Too!"
Syllable!
Zhao Xiaoyan turned her head and pursed her lips, raised her foot and threw out a slipper, which snapped on the back of Jiang Chuan Yangsheng's head, Jiang Chuan Yangsheng sighed helplessly, put down the newspaper, and threw back the slippers that fell behind his back. Zhao Xiaoyan put on her slippers and looked left and right.
"Where's my little fellow?"
"The food was served, and it came out in a while. You can also go wash up, and you can eat when you come back. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Chuan Yangsheng put away the newspaper in his hand, obviously not going to read it anymore, stretched out to the sun, turned around and walked back to the hall, and sat cross-legged in front of the small table.
Zhao Xiaoyan nodded and walked towards the bathroom.
When Qin Xuanqi brought out the last dish, he saw Zhao Xiaoyan, who was already sitting in front of the small table, and smiled
"Master, you're awake. ”
Master...
The corners of Zhao Xiaoyan's mouth twitched, how could she feel that she was getting a lot older. Although I said yesterday that if I won the drink, I would accept you as an apprentice, the problem is-
"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't apprenticed yet. ”
"Uh, how?"
"Where's the apprenticeship?"
Qin Xuanqi shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a smile:
"Can I manage three meals a day?"
“・・・”
Zhao Xiaoyan was speechless, raised her head and glanced at Qin Xuanqi, and said as a matter of course:
"Shouldn't you prepare three meals a day for the master?"
"Don't you eat my noodles~"
"What about my husband's dormitory where you still live!"
"But I'm worshipping you as a teacher. ”
"Gua Wazi, bring me a lot of spicy words. ”
Zhao Xiaoyan didn't know what to say, and finally became angry, and after a dialect, she pointed to the table and said:
"Sit down and eat, and after eating, you will learn from the teacher. And you, what are you smiling at? Hurry up and eat, and go to the place where you are going to prepare for apprenticeship. ”
Jiang Chuan Yangsheng, who was smirking, was choked, and hurriedly lowered his head and hugged the bowl, finished eating a bowl of noodles without raising his head, put down the empty bowl, and hurriedly walked out.
Qin Xuanqi looked at the empty bowl on the table suspiciously, this is not like Jiang Chuanyang's usual style in his life, he usually has to eat all the dishes on the table before he can leave.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoyan, who was still calmly eating, Qin Xuanqi lowered her eyelids and ate her own food with peace of mind.
It didn't take long for all the dishes on the table to be swept away by the two of them, and the two put down the dishes and chopsticks almost at the same time, Zhao Xiaoyan turned her head to look at Qin Xuanqi and asked:
"Finished eating?"
"Hmm. ”
"Let's go. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Xuanqi to respond, he stood up and walked out.
The two walked on the way to the dormitory, no one spoke, Qin Xuanqi was very interested and didn't ask why he went to the dormitory, and Zhao Xiaoyan thought about something else.
Oh no, according to the family rules, I can't accept apprentices, the wine is strong, and it's too high for a while. But~ I should have gone down yesterday, if I regret it, it will not be good for the reputation of the Zhao family. But... This is Japan, so it's okay to regret it, how can he drop...
Wrong!
Zhao Xiaoyan slapped her forehead suddenly, and Qin Xuanqi, who was following her, was startled, and she didn't know what was crazy about her beautiful fellow countryman.
Zhao Xiaoyan suddenly remembered that Qin Xuanqi still had to return to China in the end, and he would go back in half a year at most. Somehow, she remembered her brother who died in battle, and the news of his death came yesterday, and she sighed helplessly in her heart.
Forget it~ Forget it, since you have promised, you have to do it, and the Zhao family has no one who doesn't talk or speak. The family rules do not allow female members to accept disciples, and it is always okay to accept apprentices on behalf of brothers, not to mention that now the family has long been divided, and the clansmen don't know how many are alive.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoyan laughed at herself, untied the knot, and became a lot more cheerful. Slowed down, didn't seem to care, but actually listened attentively and asked:
"Xuanqi, do you have a nickname? ”
"Can you not say it?"
"Well~ I have to say it after apprenticeship. ”
“・・・”
I'll go, what's the matter with this tone that suddenly became fierce?
Zhao Xiaoyan didn't care about Qin Xuanqi's tangled expression, and continued to ask:
"You know Tai Chi. ”
"Well, Zhang Sanfeng's boxing technique. ”
Qin Xuanqi nodded, he learned about Tai Chi through books and movies, one is black and white, like two fish chasing each other's tails to swim in the pattern, called Tai Chi Tu, this picture is more common in some Taoist buildings, utensils, and clothes, and there is also such a picture on the national flag of South Korea, but according to the explanation in the book, this picture is not the earliest nor the only Tai Chi map.
The other is the boxing method created by a Taoist priest named Zhang Sanfeng in the Ming Dynasty, which is based on the soft overcoming of rigidity, borrowing strength to fight, and the core boxing method, which often appears in many martial arts novels and film and television works and things related to Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi, I remember that it was said in a certain movie, Zhang Sanfeng was originally a monk of Shaolin Temple? How did he become a Taoist? I don't understand.
Anyway, why did the beautiful fellow suddenly mention this? Could it be that this fellow is still the heir of the Tai Chi method? Ah, that's amazing.
Zhao Xiaoyan smiled and shook her head
"Before you apprentice, I'll popularize it for you. Listen, our vein is not Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji, but Shaanxi Zhao's Taiji. ”
"The word Tai Chi comes from the Zhuangzi: the Great Dao is above the Tai Chi but not high, the lower part of the mechanism is not deep, the congenital earth is not long, and the long is longer than the ancient but not the old."
"Too, it means big. Pole means the end. You must have heard of the truth that the opposite is change, so Tai Chi itself is the source of change. But Tai Chi itself is constant, it is what it is, nothing else. This has to be understood by yourself, and my understanding cannot be told to you, nor can I tell you, otherwise it will not be conducive to your future growth. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaoyan paused, her father said the same thing back then, but she just didn't understand, after the tempering of life and death, she only understood a little, shook her head, and then said:
"People have always believed that the Taiji diagram of the yin and yang fish is Taiji, in fact, its original name is 'the natural map of heaven and earth', and the human emperor Fuxi is used to express the two air rotations of yin and yang. If I had to express Tai Chi on paper, my father, well, even your master thought that a blank piece of paper was enough to express Tai Chi, and my brother thought that drawing a circle on paper was enough to express Tai Chi, and as for me, I only had a vague feeling, and I couldn't fully express it now. Hehehe~~~"
After saying that, she also laughed out loud, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at herself for her stupidity, or happy because she realized something, after laughing for a while, Zhao Xiaoyan stopped laughing and continued:
"Anyway, this thing depends on your own understanding, before you have your own understanding, you should understand more yin and yang fish, after all, Tai Chi is also born from this. That's all I have to say, I'll give you the rest of the rules, you can see for yourself. Okay, hurry up, he can't wait. ”
While talking, three steps and two steps, walked into the dormitory, it turned out that in the conversation, the two arrived at the dormitory unconsciously.
Entering the dormitory, turn left is the room of the building manager, at this time Zhao Xiaoyan's room has changed greatly, a red cloth is hung on a narrow wall, a table is placed in front of the red cloth, two black and white photos and some tributes are placed on the table, and two mahogany high-backed chairs are placed against the wall on the side in front of the table, which feels strange.
I don't know when, Zhao Xiaoyan changed into a cyan horse coat, and her hair was coiled up, and it was not clear that Jiang Chuan Yangsheng would also appear in the same dress in advance, Zhao Xiaoyan whispered to Qin Xuanqi:
"Wait a while for what I tell you to do, you can do it, don't speak, and everything will be understood after you apprentice. ”
"Hmm. ”
Qin Xuanqi nodded, although he didn't know why, but China has always had a lot of rules, and the rules of a martial arts family like this are even stricter, even weird. Either way, just wait a while and do it.
But... Qin Xuanqi looked at the two black-and-white photos on the table with a tangled face, the people in the black-and-white photos were both men, thinking they were middle-aged, and the other, hmm~ Why do I feel familiar?
Ah~ Isn't this the janitor uncle I saw in this world and the officer who sent me here?
Qin Xuanqi suddenly recognized one of the two photos, but his heart was inexplicably a little low, since everyone has been placed here in black and white, what the result is, not to mention it, I also know it, although it is a meeting in Pingshui, but the other party takes care of himself very much, I didn't expect that it would be like this when we meet again, should I say that the world is impermanent?
Under the influence of the inexplicably depressed mood, Qin Xuanqi didn't even care why he put two black and white pictures on the table when he was apprenticing, as well as the strange arrangement of the chairs in the room. Until Zhao Xiaoyan's shout woke him up.
"Xuanqi. ”
"Hmm"
"Get ready, listen to me now. ”
Zhao Xiaoyan's expression was very serious at this time, and Jiang Chuan Yangsheng was the same, both of them raised their heads and chests, put their hands on their knees, put their legs together, and sat on the high-backed chair in a decent manner. In this atmosphere, the depressed mood was not diluted a lot, and Qin Xuanqi couldn't help but stand solemnly.
