Chapter 204: Floating Things, Bitter Sea Boats

()"Hold the tail of the finch on the left, sit back and turn to the right, shift the weight of the body to the right leg, and buckle the toes of the left foot; the right hand arcs parallel to the right to the front of the left ribs, and the palm of the hand is up; the left arm is bent flat in front of the chest, the palm of the left hand is downward and the right hand is in a ball-like shape; at the same time, the center of gravity of the body is moved to the left leg, the right foot is closed to the inside of the left foot, and the toe is on the ground; the left hand is ............"

Yang Zheng suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "What a strong and righteous spirit, this old man is not simple!"

The old man glanced at Yang Zheng with slanted eyes, and his movements did not stop, at this time, the tip of his right foot was outward, and his body turned right at the same time. As you rotate, your weight gradually shifts to your right leg, your right leg bends your knee and squats slightly, and your left foot is lifted to the right through the inside of your right ankle. At the same time, the right palm is gently pushed out with the rotation from the bottom to the front of the abdomen.

Yang Zheng's heart trembled, he stood up, regardless of whether the old man was happy or not, and shouted in a voice: "Tai Chi is born without Ji, Yin is not separated from Yang, Yang is not separated from Yin, and Yin and Yang are also Tai Chi." ”

The old man glanced at him quickly, collected his breath, and only after a while did he spit out and muttered: "A hundred bones are relaxed, and they run through every section, holding the yuan and keeping one, from no analysis to Taiji, from Taiji to Wuji, from nothing to nothing?

Yang Zheng initially felt a little embarrassed to interrupt the state of mind of others practicing martial arts, but when he heard that the old man was willing to talk to him, his cheeky nature was revealed, and he smiled, and said: "The old man said that he was joking, speaking of which, the old man's Tai Chi is too exquisite, and it has almost reached the realm of returning to the basics, so I can't help but cheer, I still disturbed the old man, right?"

When the old man heard Yang Zheng's explicit praise, his old face turned red, and he coughed twice and said, "The little brother has won the award, but it's just some fur?"

Yang Zheng listened to this old man's hypocrisy, no wonder, after all, at this time, Taijiquan has not yet reached the time of popularization, not everyone can practice Taiji, and not everyone knows the so-called holding Yuan Shouyi, Yang Zheng explained the location of the other party's boxing method at a glance, and was not chased and killed by others, just asked, which was already very worthy of him.

How did I know about Tai Chi, I naturally couldn't say it, I was afraid that if I said it myself, no one would believe it, so an excuse that had been made up a long time ago was brewing in my heart.

The old man finished the Tai Chi Thirteen Styles, and was a little tired, and said to Yang Zheng with his hands behind his back: "Little brother, if you don't dislike it, why don't you have a cup of tea together?"

Yang Zheng's excuse also needs to be brewed in his stomach, the old man said so, just as he was mindful, nodded, and followed the old man over.

The old man took him into the dense forest, all the way the bamboo forest is full of slopes, repair the fence around the path, the two walked a few steps one after the other, Yang Zheng looked up, and saw a small pavilion in front, the pavilion is small and exquisite, the top and bottom inside and outside are made of blue bricks and red tiles, no need for a tree, hidden in a bamboo forest, occasionally a few rays of sunlight sprinkled on the road through the bamboo leaves, golden spots, a few bird songs, the tranquility here is well highlighted.

"This old man's vision is really good?" Yang Zheng, who has always been very picky about artistic conception, saw the quiet scenery here, and had to be satisfied with the vision of the old man in front of him.

There is a round table in the pavilion, there is a pot and a stove on the table, and the charcoal fire in the furnace is booming, and the tea in the pot is gurgling.

The old man stepped forward, picked up two teacups from the tea set on the side, put in the tea leaves, lifted the teapot on the stove casually, lowered his wrist slightly, the spout of the teapot, against the teacup, the tea in the pot poured out, with a thick fog, accurately fell into the teacup.

Yang Zheng saw the teacup, the tea leaves rolled, and after a while, the water gradually changed color, bright as a clear spring, and a faint fragrance drifted out with a thick water mist. He couldn't help but take a few hard breaths, as if he wanted to inhale the fragrance into his lungs.

The old man poured the tea, pushed one of the cups in front of Yang Zheng, and re-injected the teapot into the mountain spring, put it into the fire, and then wiped his wrist, and then sat down calmly, just like the old monk sitting in meditation.

"I don't know how the little brother knows that the old man is practicing Tai Chi, according to the old man, although this Tai Chi boxing method is spread among the people, but there are not many people who practice it, the little brother is young, not only can see the old man's boxing method, but also can say the subtle place, the old man is curious, just asked, and please don't want to see the strange thing?" The old man drank tea and said in a light tone.

Yang Zheng heard that this old man obviously wanted to know some truth from his mouth, but he said it tactfully, and he felt funny in his heart: "This old man, is really a Tai Chi master?"

After some rhetoric, after such a period of hard work, he also had a plan, took a sip of tea soup, and said: "Don't hide it, Xiao Ke did learn Taijiquan?"

The old man's brows jumped slightly, and he glanced at Yang Zheng with an "oh" sound, and did not speak.

Yang Zheng knew that he was waiting for him to continue, so he scolded in his heart, but he didn't care, and said the words he had brewed vividly.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"I remember when I was eight years old, one day I went to Wudang Mountain with my father, and on the way we saw an old Taoist priest, the Taoist priest was plump and burly, with big ears and round eyes, and a beard like a halberd, and he looked a little fierce, probably hungry, and sat on a big rock on the road to rest......

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his lips moved: "Plump and majestic, with big ears and round eyes, and a beard like a halberd...... Could it be him—?"

Yang Zheng knew who he was talking about, but he pretended to be stupid and said, "Uncle, do you know that Taoist priest?"

The old man smiled and said, "I want to get to know me, but unfortunately, the Taoist priest doesn't want to see me!"

"What happened?" the old man asked with a laugh.

Yang Zheng was prepared, and continued: "I saw that the Taoist priest was very hungry, and he happened to have two steamed buns in his hand, so he gave them to him, and the old Taoist priest was not polite, and took the steamed bread and ate it, but it didn't seem to be enough, it happened that my father's package brought a lot of steamed buns, I saw that he was not full, and gave him a few, and the Taoist priest ate ten steamed buns in a row, and then rubbed his stomach and said that he was full!"

The old man smiled and said, "No matter how cold or hot, you can eat one meal at a time, or one meal at a time, or no food for several months...... Isn't he?"

Yang Zheng said: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered someone, little brother, you go on?"

Yang Zheng laughed secretly in his heart, flickering and not killing you. After taking a sip of tea, he said again: "When the old Taoist priest was full of food and drink, he sang a strange ballad.

Rootless trees, flowers are secluded, greedy for glory who is willing to rest.

Floating things, bitter sea boats, swinging and drifting are not free.

It is difficult to mooring without a shore, and often swims in a dangerous place.

Willing to turn back, it's the shore, don't wait for the storm to break the boat.

When the old man heard this, he brushed his long beard, laughed, and said, "Is it him?"

Yang Zheng said: "Uncle, what is him, uncle, do you know the old Taoist?"

The old man laughed and said, "Later, the old Taoist priest passed on Tai Chi to you, right?"

After talking for so long, he naturally continued to fool around, nodded, and said, "Yes, the old Taoist priest said that I have a good heart and want to repay me for a meal?"

"Is that true?" the old man nodded and laughed.

Yang Zheng glanced at the old man and said, "The old Taoist priest told me that he was a Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain, because he was obsessed with the cultivation of the "teacher's transmission", and he understood the principle of Taijitu, and he couldn't think about it until one day, when he was meditating in the cave behind Wudang, he heard the call of a magpie outside. He followed the sound out of the hole and found a snake and a magpie "wrestling". When a magpie attacks the head of a snake, the snake uses its tail to fight back, when a magpie attacks the tail of a snake, the snake attacks the magpie with its head, and when a magpie attacks the middle of the snake, the head and tail of the snake attack the magpie together. Eventually, the magpie that wanted to eat snake meat had to flee. ”

The old man listened with interest.

Yang Zheng scolded secretly, he had heard a lot of these stories in later generations, and at this time, it was naturally easy to catch: "The old Taoist priest said that he just saw the magpie and the snake fighting, and comprehended the principle of the mutual change of yin and yang in Taiji, so he followed the natural change of the truth, combined with his cultivation of the inner pill skill." With the Tai Chi Yin and Yang as the body transmitted by Taoism, the five elements of Bagua are used, the "River Map" and "Luo Shu" are the scriptures, the Bagua and the Nine Palaces are the weft, and the five elements of Tai Chi Boxing are synthesized and the Bagua is thirteen styles!"
