Chapter 322: I'm Softer Than You!
"Tell me what you have seen in the past two years." The old lady spoke calmly and slowly.
Xiao Hang knew that this old lady wanted to take the postgraduate examination for himself, so he said without thinking: "Although Taijiquan is centered on softness and rigidity, I think that the boxing method that the old lady just played did not rely too much on this center. No matter what tricks, blind rigidity will be found flawed. The Chen family practiced Tai Chi, mostly intentionally showing their softness, as if they didn't want to deviate from the center, but over time, they forgot to be flexible. ”
"Their boxing method is said to show the essence of Tai Chi, but there is no real essence. I think that the essence of Tai Chi should not just be limited to overcoming rigidity with softness, and the old lady's boxing method just now seems simple, but there are many variables. It seems that even if there are dozens of people in front, the old lady can break them one by one. ”
When the old lady heard this, she touched her beard, and her eyes showed some surprise.
He said slowly: "Twenty percent...... Although you have only seen through the two percent, these two percent contain the true meaning of my boxing technique. Over the years, there have been few seedlings in the Chen family who can see through the true meaning of my boxing technique within an hour. ”
"Mrs. Chen has won the award." Xiao Hang said.
The old lady glanced at Xiao Hang with a smile, and then said: "You don't have to be too humble, I have lived for so many years, and some things can be seen." You will open your heart and talk to me, and I will not blame you for not knowing how to be polite. ”
Xiao Hang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's the juniors who are too hypocritical." ”
The old lady stood with her hands in her hands: "Think about it carefully, you also said just now that the essence of Taijiquan is to overcome rigidity with softness on the surface, but the real essence is not to overcome rigidity with softness." That's a good thing you say, but I'm curious, how do you see the essence of Tai Chi? ”
"The younger generation can't see through it." Xiao Hang said truthfully.
Old Lady Chen grinned: "The essence of Taijiquan is indeed to overcome rigidity with softness, but the more inner essence is that I am softer than you!" ”
When Xiao Hang heard this, he couldn't understand it for a while, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Am I softer than you?
What does this mean?
"You should be able to see that strictly speaking, there is no flaw in Taijiquan, and the weakness is actually that Taijiquan is difficult to parry and borrow strength for the kind of soft moves that cannot be borrowed. Once encountering the same soft moves, Tai Chi is completely restricted. ”
Xiao Hang heard this, and said very reasonably: "The younger generation also thinks so. ”
"Therefore, the key to solving this solution is that I must be softer than you." Old Lady Chen said calmly: "Are you interested in fighting me?" ”
"The younger generation dares to ask the old lady for advice." When Xiao Hang heard this, interest rose in his heart, so he stabilized his posture and looked at Old Lady Chen with momentum.
And Old Lady Chen just stretched out one hand and looked at Xiao Hang with a light smile.
Not sure why.
Old Lady Chen was just one hand, but Xiao Hang felt that the other party was as stable as Mount Tai and it was difficult to break.
He didn't dare to be careless, searched around, and then launched a surprise attack.
His punch was like a tiger descending from a mountain, full of power.
However, as soon as his punch went down, the old lady opened his palm, and it was very simple to dissolve his strength.
He thought that his tricks might be resolved by the old lady, but he didn't expect to be resolved so neatly and easily by the other party.
The same resolution trick was put on Old Lady Chen, which seemed to have played a completely different change.
Xiao Hang was unwilling, and seeing that the punch was intercepted by Old Lady Chen, he quickly kicked out again.
Xiao Hang thought that Old Lady Chen would defend it very easily.
However, Mrs. Chen had no defense.
He just took a slight step back.
Immediately after, Xiao Hang knew that he was not good.
He saw that a punch was intercepted by Old Lady Chen just now, and what he wanted in his heart was naturally to attack the opponent at an extremely fast speed, making it difficult for the opponent to detect. This kick naturally exerted all his strength. But when he used all his strength, Old Lady Chen was unguarded and just dodged.
How can he retract his strength when he dodges?
Even though his control of force was flawless, he was still too much to brake, and his whole body leaned forward, and then the flaws were revealed.
Old Lady Chen's hand turned into two fingers and pointed at Xiao Hang's heart.
"You've lost." Old Lady Chen smiled.
Xiao Hang still felt a little dreamy.
Lost......
He didn't even react, he lost a little too quickly.
He has a deep understanding of fighting, he feels that even if he loses, he will not be so fast, and he has this absolute confidence.
But why......
Why did you lose so simply!
"Do you know where you lost?" Old Lady Chen asked.
"Psychological." Xiao Hang took a deep breath.
He did lose mentally.
One punch failed, he was thinking about how to make the second kick, but he forgot what Tai Chi was best at, and he didn't know that the first punch started, and he was calculated by Old Lady Chen.
"Hahaha, a good one loses in psychology. Yes, yes, I have instructed many children of the Chen family, but you are the first to say that you lost psychologically. Yes, you do lose psychologically, it can be seen that your punches are not limited to any tricks, it is a move to dismantle, but I don't give you a move, how do you dismantle? If you can't dismantle it, you have to take the initiative to attack, and when you attack, you already lose. Old Lady Chen said: "You have to remember that psychology is not only the essence of Tai Chi, but also the essence of any battle. ”
Xiao Hang took a deep breath and said, "The juniors have been taught. ”
Psychology.
No wonder, no wonder I can't fight my master.
Because his tricks and psychology have been speculated very thoroughly by his master, where can he beat his master?
If he didn't want to try to defeat his master psychologically, he would never succeed, Old Man Chen's words completely woke him up.
"Old lady, I want to come again." Xiao Hang arched his hand and said.
"It's nothing, and I don't mind juggling with you." Old Lady Chen seemed to be very interested in Xiao Hang, and he didn't mind moving his body and bones more.
Xiao Hang chose to attack again.
It's just that this time he didn't choose to use a strong move, but chose to use an extremely soft move.
In this way, naturally he will not be beaten by Old Lady Chen with his strength, and he will use soft moves, how can Old Lady Chen deal with himself?
At least, he couldn't think of a way.
However, he soon realized that his idea was wrong.
To be precise, it is obviously not enough to deal with Old Lady Chen.
Indeed, he deliberately softened his boxing skills to deal with Old Lady Chen, but the old lady's boxing skills were even softer than him, and this softness was not in speed, but in his moves. He hit the opponent's fist with a strong force, and it was into the cotton. And hitting the opponent with cotton force is like hitting the water.
Yes, that's how it feels.
He couldn't beat the feeling he usually had at all. It's not happy at all, it's like you're stuck in a quagmire, you can't fight it, you can't fight it.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Hang was puzzled in his heart.
While thinking in his heart, Old Lady Chen suddenly grabbed Xiao Hang's shoulder.
Xiao Hang subconsciously shook his whole body, wanting to try to break free from the shackles of Old Man Chen. It was also the moment this strength was exerted, Old Lady Chen retracted his hand and broke out on Xiao Hang's shoulder. When the other parts were in the dormant period, the two fingers once again pointed at Xiao Hang's heart.
Xiao Hang was dumbfounded.
Why did you lose again?
"By now, you should remember what I said in the first place." Old Lady Chen pointed at Xiao Hang's heart and said with a light smile.
Xiao Hang said solemnly: "Old lady Chen said that the way Tai Chi can deal with soft moves is that I am softer than you. ”
"Yes. You are soft, I must be softer than you, no matter how soft you are, when I am softer than you, you are rigid, I am soft. In this way, I can do it, overcome rigidity with softness. Mrs. Chen said: "No matter what boxing is the same, the most important thing is the initiative, you must control your own initiative, in order to be able to control the balance of victory." ”
Xiao Hang was already sincerely impressed at this time.
Purely competing in fist and foot kung fu, he will definitely not be the opponent of Old Lady Chen, and even unless it is in his heyday, he shows all his strength, otherwise he has no hope of winning with the other party.
He originally thought that this old lady Chen was old, but he understood better than him.
However, now I found out that the other party was really a living immortal, one hundred and six years old, and he still had such a healthy body, sharp speed and strength.
"Initiative?"
Xiao Hang pondered in his heart.
He hadn't thought about it before. However, whenever he has won victories in the past, without exception, he has taken the initiative by himself.
The initiative of Tai Chi is that I am softer than you.
And how to control the initiative in your own boxing style?
"I heard, you like soft swords?" Old Lady Chen asked.
"Well, the juniors like it very much." Xiao Hang said truthfully.
Old lady Chen was curious: "The soft sword is the foundation of the Taiji sword, even in history, the soft sword does not have any dazzling brilliance, usually many people regard the soft sword as an ornament, cultural relic, chicken ribs." There are so many clansmen in the Chen family, and no one has ever liked soft swords, why do you like soft swords? ”
"The younger generation has thought about it many times, and on the surface, it seems that the soft sword is not lethal and threatening. But in fact, the soft sword is light and weird and agile, and it is like the wind, fast as lightning, and it is often difficult for people to figure it out, which is the real advantage of the soft sword, I think few people like the soft sword, it should be, few people see the real advantages of the soft sword. Xiao Hang said respectfully.
He felt that the advantage of the soft sword was not available to any sword he had used before.
Then, this lightness and weird agility is the way he will take in the future!
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen was happy.
He smiled happily and smiled with satisfaction.
If Xiao Hang is not surnamed Xiao, how good is the surname Chen?
