Chapter 249: Copycat Tai Chi
Although Chen Yaotian was born in Tianlong Temple, the so-called martial arts in the world are out of Tianlong, and the martial arts have reached a high level and they have the same end. In addition, Xingyunzi is a master of Tai Chi, and Chen Yaotian can be regarded as "slightly understanding". It's just that with Chen Yaotian's level of understanding, he is more powerful than ordinary people's proficiency.
You must know that ordinary people go to primary school at the age of seven, and there are subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, and history in primary school. In middle school, there are more geometry, physics, chemistry, and biology...... and so on, and when you go to university, for example, if you are studying law, you will study jurisprudence, constitutional law, economic law, international law, criminal law, civil law, ...... And many other courses. By the time you graduate from college and enter the society, almost all of us will find that we have learned very little that can be used in real life, and even if we can use useful knowledge, it is actually only at the level of entry.
After so many years and so many disciplines, the final result is that it is broad but not proficient.
But Chen Yaotian is different.
Chen Yaotian's attitude towards the study of Buddhism is actually similar to memorizing the provisions of the law, and he does not put much thought into it. But from the day he was hugged to Tianlong Temple, he had to be soaked in medicinal soup every day, and he practiced martial arts at the age of three, and he has been practicing martial arts for fifteen years since he was eighteen years old!
In the past fifteen years, he can be said to have been practicing martial arts without distractions. Fifteen years, just doing this one thing, how can you not be proficient? What's more, he is still a martial arts genius, even if he is an ordinary person, fifteen years of concentrating on one thing is enough to become an expert. Of course, the issue of the national education system is not explored, Chen Yaotian has been pursuing martial arts for fifteen years, and there are basically not many people who can match it in the world.
So in the face of this white-bearded old man who is not even a beginner in Tai Chi, Chen Yaotian and him are like the gap between a doctoral supervisor and a kindergarten child.
But Chen Yaotian did not put on an expert shelf because of this, and the good words and deeds of the Zen master Xingde made Chen Yaotian still know etiquette, especially martial arts.
Tianlong Temple has a strict rule, "Those who have skills but no virtue are not disciples of Tianlong".! The so-called "learn etiquette before learning art, and learn virtue before learning boxing" is not an empty phrase.
"Old man," Chen Yaotian explained with a still sincere attitude: "Tai Chi is about following the mind and body, and the intention is not forceful. I think you should know this, but I think your understanding is a bit one-sided, and not using force does not mean not really using force. If the boxing is soft, the body does not heat up, does not sweat, and the heart rate does not change after a set of punches, which loses the effect of boxing.
"The correct understanding should be to use the mind to elicit the movement of the body, to exert force at will, although the strength is great, but the appearance can not be seen, that is, with the intention and the meaning of the secret force. Therefore, the punching you just now is completely soft and weak, in fact, it will not work at all, but will cause the body to become weaker and weaker......"
"Uh, that's the case......" The white-bearded old man originally thought that Chen Yaotian's children knew something, so he just coaxed him. Unexpectedly, Chen Yaotian really said that he was coming to four, five or six, which made the white-bearded old man not know what to say for a while. If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the truth.
"Also, I see that when your old man was boxing just now, he would subconsciously hold his breath when he punched. This is a drawback, Tai Chi also pays attention to the harmony of spirit and qi, and the qi sinks into the dantian. It means that the intention is matched with the breath, and the breathing should be in the abdominal style, and the exhalation and inhalation are just matched with the opening and closing of the action. Consciously use abdominal breathing to increase the depth of breathing, which is beneficial to improve breathing skills and blood circulation. If you keep holding your breath when you punch, it won't be beneficial, it's counterproductive. Chen Yaotian didn't finish speaking, and continued to point out the problem of the white-bearded old man.
The white-bearded old man frowned and recalled his movements when he practiced boxing, and compared what Chen Yaotian said, and sure enough, he found a problem.
"In addition, each punch of this Taijiquan must be divided into four words: 'start, bear, open, and close', but the four words can not be disconnected, and must be coherent and free, and can not be rigid, and it must be opened in the middle of the house, and the combination is open in the ......" Speaking of boxing, Chen Yaotian gushed endlessly, he is also a warrior monk in Tianlong Temple, and it is easy to pick the stubble in martial arts.
Hearing this, the white-bearded old man was stunned, and the white-bearded old man's Tai Chi was actually a wild way. In the park in the city, there will always be many elderly people playing Tai Chi in the morning, and someone will take it in front, but they will not deliberately teach you, and if you want to learn, you will follow the cat and the tiger behind. Generally, I learn a shape, but I don't have the intention. Although this white-bearded old man has a special identity, he likes to quietly go to the park to play Tai Chi with the old people, at first because he was too lonely and wanted to have fun. But gradually, I fell in love with tai chi. The old man is stubborn and doesn't like to ask people, so he likes to observe and ponder by himself, and then do what he understands.
As people get older, they will always get used to trusting their own judgments. The stronger the person, the more so, so the old man with the white beard firmly believes that his punches are the most scientific. I didn't expect that Ye Luzi met an expert today, and he was dumbfounded by Chen Yaotian's words, but the white-bearded old man was always a little unconvinced, and after Chen Yaotian finished speaking, he couldn't help but say: "Having said so much, young man, you can't just talk about it." Why don't you give me a set of punches? ”
Hearing what the old man said, Chen Yaotian did not shirk. He also saw that there were a lot of flaws in the Tai Chi boxing played by the old man, probably because he was learning the copycat version when he was learning, and when he played it out to the old man, it was the copycat version of the copycat. Although he is not the original, it is not far off.
Chen Yaotian stood there extremely relaxed, his hands drooped, the backs of his hands outward, his fingers slightly stretched, his feet separated and parallel, and then his arms were slowly raised to his chest, his left arm was half a ring, his left palm was facing Cheng Yin palm, and his right palm turned over Cheng Yang's palm, and said, "Grandpa, I'll start now." ”
In order to take care of the cottage of the old man, Chen Yaotian called out the name of the move while boxing: "Bird tail, single whip, handle the upper hand, white crane bright wings, knee hook, hand waving pipa......"
The white-bearded old man watched intently, and at first he thought that Chen Yaotian was deliberately acting the posture very slowly, so that he could see clearly. But when it came to the seventh style of "waving the pipa", I saw Chen Yaotian's left palm yang and right palm yin, staring at his left arm and slowly closing his palms, which was as dignified as a mountain, but light as a feather. The old man couldn't help but gasp, he finally saw a little way, this is completely different from the old people in the park, it is simply mysterious, I can't imagine that Tai Chi can be so addictive...... The old man was fascinated, and although Chen Yaotian was playing very slowly, it still made him feel that his brain couldn't work, and he felt a little dizzy. But seeing Chen Yaotian's hands round, every move contains Tai Chi-style yin and yang changes, subtle and mysterious, it is really a real Chinese advanced martial arts.
I don't know how long it was, maybe it was a long time, maybe it was a short time, but the old man was completely immersed in it. Angel Chen Yao went to the upper step to explore the horse, stepped up to grab the tail of the bird, and closed the Tai Chi with a single whip, standing there calmly. After this set of punches, he was even more energetic. He hugged a Tai Chi circle with both hands and said to the old man: "The trick of this Tai Chi is 'Void Spirit Strength, Chest and Back, Loose Waist and Hips, Heavy Shoulders and Elbows' Sixteen words, you old man must remember ......"
After that, I explained it in detail, but it was limited to the practice of the elderly to maintain health. A deeper layer, but it is not said. After all, this is not a disciple, Chen Yaotian is just teaching the old man how to maintain his health, and it is completely unnecessary to defeat the enemy or something. And even if he taught it, he taught it in vain, and this old man was at least seventy years old, and he wouldn't have a chance to use it if he learned it.
The white-bearded old man listened without saying a word, but he was the five-body cast in his heart that admired Chen Yaotian. He was conceited, competitive, and self-confident all his life. But today I have to be convinced, I really underestimated this young man.
This old and young are immersed in it, Chen Yaotian is a martial arts idiot, and he forgets everything when he talks about kung fu. The white-bearded old man is old, and when he concentrates on one side, he often can't think of anything else. What's more, Chen Yaotian was serious, and the white-bearded old man was embarrassed to interrupt him, and the old man did listen.
On the other hand, a ministerial-level official and a deputy minister-level family are waiting anxiously.
According to the old man's habits that Fang Zhongyi was familiar with, he would come out of the punch in ten minutes at most. But now I can't wait, everyone can sit still at first, and gradually something is wrong. Twenty minutes have passed, and before you know it, everyone will sneak a glance at the old old wall clock on the wall, and they are all thinking about the same question in their hearts: why hasn't the old man come out yet?
"Big brother, do you want to go in and have a look......" Fang Suzhen was worried about whether something would happen to the old man, after all, he was so old, in case of a heart attack or something, this was a responsibility that no one could afford. Although the old man has always been in good health, he has no illness or disaster, and even the doctors and nurses assigned by the state have been sent away, but there are too many bad possibilities at this age.
"Dad's temper, you don't know it......" Fang Zhongyi's face was as bitter as a chrysanthemum, don't look at him as a ministerial, the old man scolds when he scolds, and sometimes he slaps his hand when he is angry.
So everyone had to wait again, but after half an hour passed, finally even Fang Zhongyi couldn't sit still.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look, it's time to invite the old man out for dinner......" Fang Zhongyi shamelessly pulled the big guy, and the idea of not blaming the public.
