Chapter 227: Tai Chi
"Let's go, come with me to transport a few bricks and try the effect!" Chen Xu pushed the wheelbarrow out.
"Brother, I want to take a car!" Xing'er, who came back with a basket of wild boar grass on her back, saw it, and immediately threw the rattan basket and ran over excitedly.
"Be careful, brother will carry you up!" Chen Xu hurriedly put the car away, and then held Xing'er and put it close to the handlebar, because the front wheel was still half protruding, so he used a piece of wood to cover it, and he was accidentally hung by the wheel.
Seeing Chen Xu pushing the car with ease, humming a little song in his mouth, with apricots sitting on it, yelling with excitement on his face, Yu Wuya felt a deep sense of frustration, and couldn't figure out why a car with one wheel wouldn't fall, and it could be pushed and run so easily.
Soon arrived at the position of the pile of bricks, because of the wheels Chen Xu did not dare to carry too much, put two pieces and then pushed back, because of the increase in weight, coupled with the uneven road surface, or there is no road at all, crooked and twisted to push home It took a full ten minutes, to his relief, the wheels were still good and did not have any bad conditions, so the second trip he transported three pieces back, and it felt that it was still within a very normal bearing range, and this weight was not easy to turn over as long as it was well controlled.
"Engong, let Wuya try it this time!"
After seeing Chen Xu's easy success twice in a row, Yu Wuya rubbed his fists and asked to try again, so on the way there, Yu Wuya carefully pushed the car crookedly on the road, but almost all of it relied on the strength of his arm to control the balance of the car, and he didn't give full play to the easy and convenient advantages of the wheelbarrow, once the mud bricks were installed, he would definitely not be able to control it.
"Brother Yu, do you know Tai Chi?" Chen Xu asked next to him.
"How can Taiji not know, Zhuangzi said: The Great Dao is above Taiji but not high; below the six poles and not deep; congenital but not long; Older than antiquity, but not old. Easy to pass on the clouds: easy to have Tai Chi, is to give birth to two instruments. Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. Tai Chi comes from the Book of Changes, the legend is the initial state of heaven and earth, too for the beginning, the end of the extreme, Tai Chi, no beginning and no end! When it came to Taoist theory, Yu Wuya opened his mouth in an instant.
"How much do you know about Tai Chi and Yin and Yang?" Chen Xu continued to ask.
"Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, the two instruments are both yin and yang, Tai Chi and yin and yang are one, and can not be said separately, Lie Gong once said that there are five stages of congenital Taiyi, Taishi, Taichu, Taisu, Taiji, and Taiji, and you can achieve the innate access to the avenue through Taiji, but unfortunately the boundless understanding is too low, and you have never been able to understand what Taiji is, so you can only stay on the mountain for more than ten years, and then you were driven down the mountain by Shizun, and now you can no longer listen to Shizun's teachings, and regret it!" Yu Wuya said with a long sigh of emotion.
Chen Xu was silent for a long time and did not speak.
Nima Laozi asked if you know Tai Chi, what are you doing with so many Taoist theories, you can't understand a word of what you say, Chen Xu definitely doesn't know the history of Tai Chi, the only thing he knows is Tai ...... Pole...... ...... boxing, and it was only after watching the movie Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng that I understood it.
"Engong suddenly asked Wuya what he was doing, almost all of today's hundreds of scholars know, especially the Taoist and Confucian families, who have studied the Tai Chi Bagua and the Book of Changes the most, although they have different understandings and views on Tai Chi, but they all confirm that Tai Chi is the state of yin and yang, which is very mysterious and mysterious!" Yu Wuya said as he continued the crooked cart.
"I just want to tell you that pushing a unicycle seems to be extremely difficult, but it is actually the most superficial understanding of Tai Chi......
"Really, Eun Gong didn't lie to me?" Yu Wuya suddenly stopped and looked directly at Chen Xu.
"What am I lying to you for? Tai Chi has yin and yang, force has rigidity and softness, just like you use a sword, when you meet softness, when you meet rigidity, you can be invincible, push this unicycle is the same as pushing and grinding, you can not use all your strength to control and resist it, but to take advantage of the situation to overcome rigidity, as long as you master the movement of the wheelbarrow, there is the effect of four or two dialing a thousand catties, and it is very easy to push...... "Chen Xu said a few words of chaotic theory that later generations heard.
"Overcome rigidity with softness, and combine rigidity and softness...... Four or two dials of thousands of pounds...... "Yu Wuya's eyes lit up instantly, one was stunned, and then the wheelbarrow was crooked.
"Yes, you have to use the minimum force to control the wheelbarrow, only when you fully understand this power, you can push the wheelbarrow around as you like, heaven and earth are Tai Chi, Tai Chi is everywhere, just see that you don't have the heart to find it!" Chen Xu continued to talk nonsense.
"I ...... I'll try again! Yu Wuya excitedly helped the wheelbarrow up again, and then walked forward crookedly, with the shaking of the wheelbarrow, his body twisted like a snake, and then walked faster and faster, "Haha, sure enough, the combination of rigidity and softness, with the help of strength, four or two thousand catties, Wuya understands!" ”
Looking at Yu Wuya, who was laughing and pushing the car in front of him, Chen Xu couldn't help but jump lightly a few times, the comprehension of this product is completely super-first-class, but his personality is too out-of-the-box and likes to wander the rivers and lakes, not like a hermit at all, otherwise he has been in retreat in the mountains for twenty or thirty years, maybe he is a famous Taoist again, but it is a pity that after following him, he has become a big foodie, and he has lost all the avenues he pursues for the sake of a mouthful.
After two or three trips, the sun has set, the twilight is gradually rising, the landscape is hazy, Yu Wuya has also completely learned to push the wheelbarrow, without Chen Xu's guidance, he can also push all the way to trot, although he can only transport three mud bricks at a time, but it is more than ten times easier, until Chen Jiang's dinner is shouted several times before he is reluctant to put the cart.
In just half an hour, he transported fifteen bricks back and forth five times.
"Xiao Xu, I heard that you made a small car that can be pushed around with only one wheel?"
Just as the family was sitting in the living room for dinner, Uncle Ma came over and asked with great interest.
"Uncle come and sit! Have you eaten yet, let's eat some together? The family quickly stood up and said hello.
"I just ate it, and in the evening, I heard Xing'er say that you made a small cart, which can not only sit on people but also transport three large adobe bricks at a time, so I came to take a look, and if it is easy to use, I will go back and make one!" Uncle Ma said with a smile after sitting down and taking the tea poured by Chen Jiang.
"The car is under the pergola, the method is very simple, and it is very labor-saving to push, but it is a little uncomfortable at first, I will take you to see!"
After Chen Xu finished eating, he went to the pergola to push out the small cart under the pergola, and personally demonstrated it to Uncle Ma, and then Uncle Ma was also excited to take it and try to push it, and found that it was really difficult to control, but as Chen Xu continued to explain the car, it took more than ten minutes, and Uncle Ma could also push it crookedly in a circle in the yard.
And just when Uncle Ma was learning to push a cart, some villagers came in an endless stream, and Niu Dashi also led Xiaochun to squeeze in it, so a large group of people gathered around the yard to watch.
"It's amazing that one wheel can be pushed and run!"
"yes, it won't fall crooked!"
"What the hell is Xiao Xu's brain, such a strange car can be made."
"Xiao Xu came down from the god star in the sky, otherwise how could he become a pawn at such a young age, as well as the quyuan plow, the rake, and the threshing machine, none of which are worse than this car!"
The villagers were amazed and muttered at the same time, making Chen Xu's back creepy, so they had to change their topic and let them all try to feel the charm of the wheelbarrow, so the whole yard quickly became lively.
"Good stuff, good stuff!" It was soon dark and almost invisible, and several villagers who had mastered pushing the wheelbarrow were full of excitement and praise.
"Xiao Xu, with this kind of wheelbarrow, it will be convenient for us to go to Qinghe Town to catch the market in the future, and things weighing two or three hundred catties can also be pushed back and forth." Uncle Ma said excitedly as he drank tea.
"Yes, yes, even if we pay taxes and grain in the future, we can push it to pay it ourselves, and we don't have to give food to the tax and grain team, there are several buckets, and every time I look at it, I feel distressed!" Another villager said.
"Come on, eat sugar, this is the candy made from some wild fruits that everyone picked last time, not too much, this time I brought some back, everyone tastes fresh!" Chen Xu took out a bamboo tube and distributed a handful of round fruit candy to each of the villagers sitting in the house chatting, and gave the rest to Xing'er, so Xing'er happily hid with Niu Xiaochun and the two babies to share the candy.
"This candy is so sweet."
"Xiao Xu can not only make wine with mountain grapes, but also boil sugar with wild fruits, and every time he comes back, he will get a lot of new things out, so smart I am afraid that he will become a big official in the future!"
"Who said no, Xiao Xu is the smartest person I have ever met, the rope sleeve that Dashi's family lifted bricks yesterday is also very convenient, and today I can use it to build walls, the speed is much faster than the day before yesterday, and I don't have to worry about hitting my head!"
"Yes, yes! Xiao Xu is the baby of our Xiaohe Village, Xiao Xu, when you become a big official in the future, you must remember that we are from Xiaohe Village, come back to see us when you have time! ”
A group of villagers began to praise again, and the apricots didn't know why, so they squeezed over and hugged Chen Xu's neck and refused to let go, crying and shouting: "Brother, you can't be a big official, if you leave, my mother and I will have no one to take care of!" ”
"You kid, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Jiang was very angry and slapped Xing'er on the buttocks, and was immediately protected by Chen Xu, hugging Xing'er and comforting her for a long time before persuading this girl to laugh and continue to eat candy.
With the advanced means of transportation of the wheelbarrow, Yu Wuya pushed the cart frantically for two days in a row, and hundreds of mud bricks were all transported back, but the wheels were also broken five or six, fortunately, this kind of wheel is really worthless, it is a log, so the cost is almost zero, but if you want to run a long way, it is best to carefully find materials to make a solid wheel, but Chen Xu can't use it now, and he doesn't need it.
Another seven or eight days have passed in a flash, Chen Xu's house has been repaired for the most part, the walls have all been built with adobe bricks, and the earthen kang connecting the three houses has also been paved with stone slabs, and the top has been smoothed and sealed with mud, and the family is building a chimney at this time.
The stone slab was built by the stonemasons in the town last time, and originally began to prepare all the earthen kang to use bluestone slabs, but after the carpenter proposed a new method with almost no cost, the precious material of the stone slab was almost abandoned by everyone, so Chen Xu simply bought a lot of it himself, and let the grain collection team that collected the autumn grain tax last time carry it back with cattle and horses, and also got back hundreds of clay bricks.
Because no one wants a kiln of pottery bricks fired in the pottery workshop, so all of them were bought by Chen Xu in one go, in addition to making a chimney, he also plans to build a kitchen next to the house, just integrate the earthen stove for cooking and the stove of the earthen kang in the room, so that the rice can also burn the kang while boiling water, which can be called killing two birds with one stone, in addition, a laboratory should be built to study some things to do some simple physical and chemical experiments, these clay bricks can just be used, and in order to look good, The floor of the room can be paved with clay bricks next to each other, so that it looks beautiful and neat.
"The sword light and sword shadow are not my sect, the sky and the sea have my own style, both hands push is neither black nor white, neither good nor bad, there is no victory and how to lose, there is no place to go, there is no sword in my hand, there is no dust in my heart, it is my mind......"
Chen Xu and Yu Wuya were working while teaching Yu Wuya to sing Tai Chi and the episodes in Zhang Sanfeng's movie.
This song is called Suiyuan, it is a song with a very Chinese style and Taoist charm, and Jet Li played Zhang Sanfeng in the movie, and he also performed the charm of Tai Chi Grandmaster and Tai Chi to the fullest, and this song can be called the soul of the movie, Chen Xu likes it very much, the previous mobile phone is used as a ringtone for this song, and it can be said that it is ripe.
Suddenly, the sound of neighing horses came from far away from the village, Chen Xu and Yu Wuya stopped almost at the same time, and after listening attentively, Yu Wuya said, "It seems that there are still several miles away." ”
"Could it be that something happened in town?" Chen Xu turned his head to look at the past in confusion, although he stood tall, his vision was blocked by the hill and the dense woods, and he could only vaguely see the three huge tea trees at the head of the village.
"Engong Mo is worried, there is Liu Po in the town, as well as the three elders and a few pavilion chiefs, even if something happens, it won't be a big deal, and you will find out when you ask later!" Yu Wuya comforted.
