Chapter 4 The pines and cypresses are evergreen
This is a typical small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, with white walls and black tiles, the sycamore and bamboo are secluded, the pines and cypresses are green, there are pavilions and pavilions, but the mountains are the mountains, the water is the water, the houses are the houses, although the sparrows are small, they are all organs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I followed the footsteps of Senior Brother Yin, came to a pavilion, the pavilion name "Hanqing Pavilion", a pair of couplets hung on the left and right: the stone path into the ancient pavilion, the bamboo shadow mottled the heart of the Dao. In the middle of the pavilion sat a middle-aged man, with a strange face, three strands of beard under his chin, holding a purple clay pot, drinking slowly.
Senior Brother Yin stepped forward and said, "Master, I brought you here. With that, he stood aside. The middle-aged man put down the teapot, walked up to me, looked at me for a while, pinched my shoulder bone, I don't know if it was my illusion, I felt that his eyes flashed at this time, and then looked closely and it was bland. He said to me, "You stand for a while. The voice was as gentle as jade. Hearing this, I set up a Wuji stake and stood up, at first because of the first contact with the legendary martial arts people, I was very nervous, my palms were sweaty, and my body was trembling slightly. After standing for a while, I seemed to be back at the edge of the lake, my body and mind slowly relaxed, and the tree appeared in front of my eyes, and my body fell rhythmically with my breathing. At this time, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Okay, let's collect it, the infinite pile will come here first." What have you learned in Tai Chi, I'll see how many formulas you play. At this time, I realized that this should be a test of entry, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I took a deep breath and practiced what I usually learned bit by bit. At first, his face still had a hint of encouragement, and slowly his affection became serious, I chuckled in my heart, and said in my heart: "It's bad, it must be something wrong with the practice, but don't accept me." "I kept praying in my heart, but I didn't dare to stop the movements of my hands and feet. After practicing a set of twenty-four styles, I took a few deep breaths and looked at the middle-aged man quietly, as if waiting for the final judgment.
The middle-aged man pondered for a while and asked me, "Do you have to dictate the way to get started?" ”
I was surprised, do I have to take the endorsement test for entry, I don't know this at all, but it's going to be over.
The middle-aged man looked at me blushing and didn't speak for a long time, his reaction didn't seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but have some faint doubts in his expression, and asked, "Have you ever learned Tai Chi before?" ”
"I haven't studied, I learned from Mr. Zhao and Senior Yin when I was in college." I replied honestly, "Well, when I was a child, I wanted to learn Tai Chi, and then my father bought me a book on Tai Chi and asked me to compare it myself, does this count?" Suddenly remembering what happened when I was a child, I asked cautiously.
"Take a look at what you learned when you were a child."
I looked a little embarrassed, but I had to make a 1510 comparison. Well, it can't be said that it is a comparison, it is completely a formula and a formula.
The middle-aged man was surprised: "Who taught you this practice?" ”
"No one taught me, I couldn't read books when I was a child, so I could only look at the illustrations and let my father teach, and my father said that I hadn't practiced and had no time, and then I was pestered and lied to me that this Tai Chi is very simple, you yourself are on the picture of the picture, and after you finish one and then put the other." I was embarrassed to say, "I also came to see Teacher Zhao and Senior Yin when they practiced, only to know that I was deceived by my father when I was a child, and it turned out that Tai Chi should be practiced coherently and evenly." After speaking, I felt that I was really sweating, and I couldn't help but have a deep grudge against my father~~
"Hahahaha, God's will is so! It seems that you have a relationship with my Yang family! The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, "Originally, the best age for my apprenticeship was twelve to fourteen years old, and I didn't want to accept you, so I couldn't stand Mu Bai's work to grind, so I decided to take a look." "I looked at Senior Brother Yin gratefully, and Senior Brother Yin winked at me." Who would have thought that you would have laid a good foundation by playing crookedly. Just now I saw that you practiced well, and I thought it was a disciple of a senior brother. Not bad, not bad! ”
"Master, I said that the ninth year has understanding, I found you an apprentice, how do you reward me?" Seeing that the middle-aged man was in a good mood, Senior Brother Yin also breathed a sigh of relief and made a joke.
"I'll give you a couple of big boards, lazy guy." The middle-aged man said angrily and explained to me: "Nowadays, many so-called masters in society teach people Taijiquan, and they all teach a set of boxing quickly, and then let you play by yourself; Those who learn are also impatient, and they can't learn all the routines in one day. Hehe, where can Tai Chi things come in such a hurry? What's the use of learning a hundred and ten routines? The surface is just shiny. Nothing comes from water mill kung fu, and it's no wonder that tai chi is declining. He kept shaking his head. Seeing that he looked bitter and hateful, I had to pretend to listen very carefully. "Normally, if I accept an apprentice, I will let him practice the single style first, that is, take out the styles in the routine, let him practice them one by one, and only after passing the single style can he enter us. Practicing the single pose not only tests one's patience and perseverance, but also lays a solid foundation for the future. Originally, it was a little late to learn Tai Chi at your age, and the foundation would not be solid, and it would not be able to keep up, and in the end it might just be a mixed bowl of rice. But the things you're practicing yourself are just right. Maybe happiness came too suddenly, I didn't know what to say, just a smirk, and the resentment towards my dad instantly turned into gratitude.
"If you enter my door, you need to know my name. My real name is Zhou Xiandao, and my mentor is Zhang Qinlin. When Zhang Shi was young, his family was poor, and he worked in the family of Chengfu Patriarch, and he was diligent and studious. After traveling all over the world, he met Chen Daoren's ancestor in Huangshan and was given Tai Chi internal strength, and since then, the technique is close to the Tao. I learned Tai Chi from my teacher and settled in Jiangnan. Just know it yourself, and don't spread it around. Master Zhou was full of caution.
"Master, I know." After that, I have to kowtow to Master Zhou.
Master Zhou waved his hand, "I'm not busy, plus you and I have already accepted seven apprentices, Mu Bai is the fifth, Xu Xuan is the sixth senior sister, and the other four senior brothers have already left the school, each has their own work, and they are not around." You should be a registered disciple first, and then you will officially apprentice when they all come back at the end of the year. The introductory guide must be dictated, and the kung fu method is self-studying. This is the incision for entry. Today, I'm going to introduce you first. ”
Hearing this, I still knelt down and kowtowed to Master, then stood up and called out respectfully, "Master." ”
Master Zhou nodded, "There is a way that Tai Chi does not go out for ten years, and Xingyi kills people for three years." The introduction of Xingyi Quan relies on splitting boxing to practice, and the entry is relatively fast, just like burning fire to melt snow, and the snow melts when it encounters fire. And our Tai Chi is like boiling water with firewood, accumulating bit by bit, and finally we can practice refining and transforming qi. Your Wuji pile has been standing a little hot, today I will tell you the key to this, be sure to remember. "Master Zhou himself stood on a pole pile, called me to step forward and touch his lower back with my hand, and when I touched Zhou Shi's lower back, I felt the difference. Zhou Shi said: "The function of the Wuji pile practice, on the one hand, is to stretch the spine, the spine is like a big dragon, this dragon is originally curved, the Wuji pile is to stretch and straighten the big dragon and become elastic, on the other hand, it is to stand a little spirituality, stand until all the sounds are silent, this spirituality will come out, there are infinite benefits to people, and you should experience it carefully when practicing." In addition, it is necessary to cooperate with the upper breath and work slowly to get out of the effort. The breathing of Tai Chi usually refers to the reverse abdominal breathing, this kind of breathing~~" As Master Zhou was talking, he heard a brisk footstep on the path coming in, so he stopped and said with a smile, "This crazy girl." ”
