Chapter 0027 - Worship as a Teacher

A new day began again, Zhao Weidong because of yesterday's sufficient sleep, this morning just dawned, he got up energetic, after getting up he went to the bathroom to wash up, then walked out of the guest room to the lawn of the hotel, and began to insist on playing Yang-style Taijiquan every day, today's time is more, it seems that you can play three sets of boxing.

After Zhao Weidong truly mastered the true meaning of Taijiquan from that day, he has made rapid progress during this period of time, and his Taijiquan has been from the original appearance of the "outer triad": shoulder and hip together, elbow and knee together, hand and foot together, to the recent period of time in the body system of the "inner triad": intention and qi, qi and force.

Every time a person stands in the open direction, into a chest and back, engrossed in looking into the distance, the whole body slowly relaxes with the breath, the whole body is relaxed and natural, the virtual collar is strong, the breath slowly sinks in the dantian, and gradually retracts the farsightedness, the spirit of the outward release is converged in the body, and the inner view of the dantian, when the body is adjusted to the best state, when the spirit is the most focused, Zhao Weidong will start the boxing practice of Yang-style Taijiquan, and people have also entered a magical state, everything around them has disappeared, and the external universe seems to have no existence. Time is gone, his body is gone, time in this state becomes eternal, there is no past, there is no future, Zhao Weidong feels that his own is heaven and earth, he is the whole universe, consciousness is completely integrated into the action, boxing movements guide consciousness to circulate in the body, and there is no other consciousness.

After Tai Chi is finished, I feel that the consciousness returns to the body to feel the existence of the body, feel the existence of all external things, feel the human muscles, bones, and organs under the infusion of this circular consciousness, every cell seems to be activated, every cell seems to be filled with energy, and the whole person feels the vigorous blood, infinite strength, and abundant spirit. In his senses, there is no memory at all for twenty minutes, only a blink of an eye, which is an indescribable strange feeling, but after that, the whole person has a feeling of being reborn, full of strength and energy, thinking of this, Zhao Weidong did not realize that in the past month or so, the clothes obviously feel short, is it because of the changes brought to his body by Tai Chi Dacheng for more than a month, that is, the development of adolescence has not changed so obviously.

"Hello, little friend."

I actually heard Chinese in London, it's so kind, what kind of person is this, is it talking to yourself? Zhao Weidong was still indulged in the magical feeling of Taijiquan, and did not reflect it for a while, he turned his head and took a serious look, only to see an old man with silver hair in a Mao suit, looking at himself with blazing eyes, Zhao Weidong said:

"Hello, old man, are you talking to me?"

"Yes, kid, I'm just talking to you, and you're doing a good job of tai chi."

"Old man, Tai Chi is broad and profound, I only learned some fur, which makes you laugh."

"What's your name, little friend?"

"My name is Zhao Weidong, what do you always call me?"

"My surname is Yang, my name is Yang Dezhong, and I am a descendant of Yang Luchan, a martial artist in the early Qing Dynasty."

When Zhao Weidong heard that he was a descendant of a famous Chinese martial artist, his reverence arose. Yang Luchan (1799-1872): nicknamed Tai Chi Grandmaster, Hebei people, the founder of Yang's Taijiquan, frail and sick in his early years, and then moved to Chenjiagou, Jiaozuo, Henan, worshiped Chen Changxing, the head of Chen's Taijiquan, as a teacher, devoted himself to practicing Taijiquan, diligent and hard-working, perennial, and later, after self-study and bold innovation, self-reliance, cultivation and positive results, on the basis of learning from Chen's Taijiquan boxing skills, independently founded Yang's Taijiquan, and became the originator of Yang's Taijiquan. Later, he studied in the imperial city of Beijing, and was good at overcoming rigidity with softness, borrowing strength, fighting invincible opponents all over the capital, and becoming a generation of martial arts masters who carried forward Taijiquan. His son Yang Banhou and his grandson Yang Chengpu later inherited and carried forward Yang's Taijiquan, and became famous martial arts masters in the capital at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.

"Grandpa Yang, hello, I didn't expect you to be a descendant of Tai Chi Grandmaster Yang Luchan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Xiao Weidong, Taijiquan is indeed broad and profound, I see that your Taijiquan has learned well in terms of physical fitness, although our country's Taijiquan not only has a good effect of strengthening the body, but also outstanding in competition, I see that you have some deficiencies in this aspect, if this aspect is strengthened, it can also further strengthen the effect of strengthening the body."

"Grandpa Yang, I still don't know a lot about Tai Chi."

"Weidong, how old are you?"

"Grandpa Yang, I'm thirteen years old this year."

"Oh, I'm only thirteen, how do I look a little like fifteen?"

"Grandpa Yang, that's the case, I've been playing very well in Tai Chi this time, but I didn't expect people to suddenly grow in love, and recently I feel that my clothes are short very quickly."

"Oh, is it so?"

Yang Dezhong was secretly surprised in his heart, when he saw Zhao Weidong playing Taijiquan just now, the momentum reached the level of the grandmaster, and the comprehension of Taijiquan has reached the level of entering the room, but it can be seen that Zhao Weidong has not undergone systematic Taijiquan learning and training, but the talent for Taijiquan learning is extremely high, and there is absolutely no problem in reaching the achievement of the grandmaster, and it is even expected to surpass the grandmaster level. It is still very easy to learn this point, it is easy to look like it, it is difficult to look like it, he has done it in the most difficult aspects, but it is very easy to not learn it well, the key is that there is no famous teacher to guide him, if he can accept this apprentice will be his luck, he can meet himself is also his luck, if there is his own guidance, his progress is faster, and his achievements are greater.

"Grandpa Yang, what are you thinking?"

"Weidong, how about we push it together?"

"Okay, I haven't learned to push hands yet, how to do it, you teach me."

Yang Dezhong stood in front of Zhao Weidong, raised his arms in fists and raised them forward, let Zhao Weidong do the same action, so that the distance between the two fists touched, and then everyone took a step forward, the two of them pulled out their right hands forward, pasted each other, and the palm of the other hand gently pressed each other's elbows, and the two began to push their hands, Zhao Weidong found the problem as soon as he put his hands together, you pushed forward is empty, you retreat, and the other party followed, because Yang Dezhong wanted Zhao Weidong to be familiar with the push technique first, so he never fought back, It's just that all the strength of Zhao Weidong is turned into strength, so that Zhao Weidong is disappointed everywhere, and there is nowhere to use it, after Zhao Weidong is more familiar, a little counterattack, Zhao Weidong flew out a long way at once, and there is indeed technology in it. Yang Dezhong asked:

"Weidong, how do you feel about this?"

"Was that also Tai Chi just now?"

"Yes, that is the most basic action just now, if you can learn it systematically, learn it all well, and there is no problem at all to become a martial arts master."

"Really?"

"It's true, would you like to learn from me?"

"I do."

"Well, from today onwards you are my third apprentice, I want to know, how long are you going to stay here?"

"I originally thought that if I stayed here for a few more days, I would go back to Hong Kong, and I would make adjustments if you saw how you arranged."

"You'll have to stay in London for at least a month."

"Okay, I'll change my itinerary and not go back to Hong Kong for the time being."

"Weidong, I'll give you my address in the London Martial Arts Gym, you can arrange it, and I'll go over today." As he spoke, he handed Zhao Weidong a business card and said, "Weidong, I'll leave first." ”

"Master, goodbye."

After Zhao Weidong watched the master leave, he returned to the hotel room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and because it was not yet breakfast time, he turned on the TV and watched the morning news in the UK. After a long time, I heard the call announcing breakfast, Zhao Weidong came to the guest room, Ye Minghui also just walked out, and his spirit was a little bad, so Zhao Weidong asked:

"Godfather, why are you in such bad spirits?"

"Weidong, I have been watching the real-time market of gold, and I saw it very late, plus the amount of our transaction is huge, and it is engaged in extremely risky London gold, and my spirit is relatively nervous, so I don't sleep very well."

"Godfather, don't worry about it anymore, I will be very cautious, you see that our purchase point is still more appropriate."

"I know this, but this is the biggest business I've ever done in my life, and it's also the riskiest business, can you not be nervous?"

"Godfather, don't think about it, let's go have breakfast."

"Well, let's go."

"Godfather, I analyze that this consolidation will take a long time, are you going to stay here, do you want to go back to Hong Kong?"

"I won't go back this time, I'll go back when the deal is over, Weidong, you must be careful."

"Okay, I know this, don't worry."

The two of them came to the restaurant, Zhao Weidong saw that it was a Western breakfast buffet, Zhao Weidong took a cup of Fu milk, two fried eggs, two sandwiches, a fish sauce, a roast beef, a fruit salad, a mushroom, an English scone, a tomato sauce baked beans, etc., seeing that he took a lot of breakfast, Zhao Weidong suddenly found that his food consumption had at least doubled during this period of time, no wonder he would grow fast.

After breakfast, when he returned to the guest room, Zhao Weidong immediately called Ji Lingjun and asked her to drive a car to pick him up, and he wanted to go to the new company to have a look.

Half an hour later, Zhao Weidong received a call from the hotel reception, saying that someone was waiting in the lobby, he knew that Di Lingjun had arrived, he left the guest room and went downstairs to the lobby, and Di Lingjun greeted him and said:

"Chairman, let's go."

"Sister Lingjun, thank you for your hard work."

Two people walked out of the hotel, came to the parking lot, got in the car and soon arrived at the place where the company is located, which is a 56-story office building, the company bought the 12th floor of the entire building as the company's office premises, with a construction area of 3,200 square meters. The name of the company is: British Green International Financial Investment Co., Ltd., the departments set up with reference to the Hong Kong company, a total of 26 employees, Zhao Weidong inspected the company's various departments accompanied by Ji Lingjun, on the whole, the company's departments are set up reasonably, the use of personnel is appropriate, because most of the departments have not yet carried out the business, so the current staffing is less, but one thing is very important, the office equipment is very advanced, very convenient. Finally, all employees were convened to have a meeting, everyone knew each other, Zhao Weidong delivered an enthusiastic speech, he described the bright future of the company, the company will become a platform for each employee to show their personal ability, provide all the conditions for displaying their personal talents, is the best way to achieve personal ideals, the company will implement a performance-based pay system to ensure that all employees work to obtain fair and reasonable remuneration......

After leaving the company, Zhao Weidong asked Di Lingjun to send him to Yang Dezhong's martial arts hall, and asked her to go back by herself, and told her that she would learn Tai Chi here in the near future, and she could find it here if she had something, and the contact number was also given to her.

Zhao Weidong saw that the door was open and went straight inside, walked inside, the yard was still very large, as soon as he arrived inside, he saw more than 30 foreign students following a middle-aged man, playing Tai Chi in a move, everyone not only moved unevenly, but also walked out of shape, there was a shelf on both sides of which was full of knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, grasps, hammers, sticks, lances, sticks, crutches, meteor hammers and other eighteen kinds of weapons, and there were stone locks of different sizes scattered around, there were several pairs of barbells, and there were several horizontal bars, There is also a row of tall climbing poles.

When the middle-aged man saw Zhao Weidong walking in, he said to the students in English:

"You guys continue to practice on your own."

After speaking, he walked to Zhao Weidong and said, "You are a junior brother, right?" ”

"You are?" Zhao Weidong asked.

"I'm your second senior brother, this morning's incident, the master has said it, the master is inside, you can go in with me."

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother." Zhao Weidong hurriedly asked.

The second senior brother took Zhao Weidong and shouted loudly as he walked inside: "Master, junior brother is here." ”

"Xiao Weidong is here." With the voice, Yang Dezhong walked out of a room.

"Master, I'm here to report to you, but I can only transfer it for more than a month at most, so the master will bother."

"Weidong, you two get to know each other first. His name is Jiang Yuanliang, and he is your second senior brother. Yuan Liang, his name is Zhao Weidong, and he is your junior brother. ”

"Hello second senior brother, please take care of me in the future."

"Little junior brother, no problem."

"Weidong, more than a month is definitely not enough for others, but you may not be necessarily, this time let's arrange so much time. Now, in the morning, go to the patriarch's spirit to bow to the teacher, and you will go and prepare first. ”

"Okay, master, I'll go." Jiang Yuanliang left first after answering.

"Weidong, let's go over too." After waiting for a few minutes, Yang Dezhong stood up and said, and the two of them came to a room next door, where a portrait hung on the wall in the middle of the room, and a square table was placed underneath, with two candlesticks on either side of the table, two lit red candles, three plates of fruit in them, an incense burner in front, and a chair on each side of the table.

After coming to the room, Yang Dezhong sat down on the chair on the right, first introduced the person on the painting is Yang Lu Zen Patriarch, and at the same time introduced the etiquette of the apprentice, proposing that the times are progressing, and the apprenticeship of the apprentice should also keep pace with the times.

The apprenticeship ceremony officially began: first light three incense, bow three times in front of the portrait of the patriarch, and insert the incense in the hand into the incense burner, then bow in front of the master, and serve the tea prepared by the second senior brother, followed by Yang Dezhong's master's lecture, mainly to educate the apprentice to respect the ancestors and abide by the rules, and encourage the apprentice to be innocent and learn the art to work hard, so that the apprenticeship is completed, Zhao Weidong officially became Yang Dezhong's apprentice.
