Chapter 60: Discussing the Acceptance of Disciples

When Li Nan came to the north gate of East Lake Park with Zhuang Zhuang running, he happened to see Mr. Chen walking out of the door of the bicycle storage area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Seeing Teacher Chen again, Li Nan felt that he had no trace of being fifty years old. The body is burly, the waist is straight, the shoulders are broad and the waist is thin, the muscles are strong, there is no fat on the body at all, and the pace of walking is large and fast, this body is about the same as a forty-year-old person.

Teacher Chen also saw Li Nan and Zhuang Zhuang, so he walked over quickly and said, "We are all very punctual, like people who do business!" After saying that, he laughed. He raised his hand and pointed to the park gate, and the three of them walked towards it.

Li Nan can't think of anything good, so let's say something thankful! So he said, "The child is learning Tai Chi with you, which is really a trouble for you!" ”

"No trouble! I practice myself, and I also practice by instructing others, and I always have to practice. Teacher Chen smiled, "I've been practicing all my life, and I can't stop!" ”

"It's like everything, and persistence is the hardest thing. It's amazing that you can keep practicing for the rest of your life! He can be called a man of God. Li Nan didn't know what to say, anyway, he was just expressing his admiration!

"It's hard to say whether it's a god or not, anyway, what can be done for a lifetime can be said to be not an ordinary person, they are all people made of special materials." Teacher Chen said very truthfully. He glanced at Zhuang Zhuang, "Let's see if Zhuang Zhuang can practice Tai Chi for a lifetime." After saying that, he laughed again.

"I definitely have to practice for the rest of my life," Zhuang Zhuang took over excitedly, "Tai Chi can exercise the body, and it can also defend itself, of course, I have to practice it for a lifetime." ”

"You're going to have to spend a lot of time on this! Even if it's one hour a day, how many hours do you have to have in a lifetime! Teacher Chen seemed to be guiding him.

"An hour a day is not much, if you don't practice Tai Chi, you will be running blindly and playing, that is a waste of time!" Zhuang Zhuang said casually.

"That's a good thing to say!" Teacher Chen said with certainty, "The time we spend practicing Tai Chi is actually the leisure time of others, and one hour less leisure a day is not much at all." Others chat for an hour a day and then nothing comes out after ten years, but you practice Tai Chi for an hour a day and become an expert after ten years, which is good for you? ”

What is the best cultivation education, that is, when people are in their hearts, casually chatting and saying inspirational words is the best cultivation education.

Zhuang Zhuang really listened to Master Chen's words, so he asked, "Can I become an expert if I practice Tai Chi for ten years?" ”

"Ten years of sharpening a sword, you will definitely become an expert if you practice Tai Chi for ten years." Teacher Chen looked at Zhuang Zhuang and said seriously, "It's not what I said, many successful people have practiced like this." You know when you see others. ”

The three of them walked into the gate of the park, and Mr. Chen said, "Let's run around the East Lake first." They ran along the lakeside road, Zhuang Zhuang ran in front, and Teacher Chen and Li Nan ran side by side in the back.

After running out for more than a dozen steps, Mr. Chen said, "I came to you today to discuss something with you. Li Nan listened carefully, and Teacher Chen continued, "Recently, I have been trying to recruit a few apprentices and pass on my skills to them. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Nan's face was hot. I guessed correctly, Mr. Chen is going to recruit apprentices. He followed Mr. Chen's meaning and said, "That's a good thing!" Your skills must be passed on. ”

"After this period of observation, I think it is good to be strong, so I want to take him as an apprentice."

Li Nan had been waiting for this sentence, and when he heard Teacher Chen say it, he immediately became excited: "That's great!" Since he was running, it was difficult for him to express his excitement, and he continued, "You are a Tai Chi master, and you think that Zhuang Zhuang can be taught and want to take him as a disciple, that is really a blessing for our whole family, and we can't ask for it!" ”

"Then your parents agreed?" Teacher Chen asked.

"Of course I agreed! There was no doubt at all. Li Nan was very excited, and his voice was obviously a few decibels higher.

"What about the child, does he agree?" Teacher Chen continued to confirm.

"The child has already agreed, and he wants to come and see you practice boxing every week, just to learn Tai Chi with you." Li Nan seemed to be afraid that the teacher would change his mind, and his attitude was very firm.

"This child is the first apprentice I have recruited, and he has a great responsibility, and he will set a good example for other apprentices in the future." Mr. Chen spoke earnestly.

"We will tell the child this," Li Nan agreed with Teacher Chen, "This child has been obedient since he was a child, very sensible, and remembers everything once he says it, he is a good child!" ”

"I've noticed all this," Teacher Chen looked at Zhuang Zhuang running in front of him, "he is a carving material, and he will definitely become a pillar of Tai Chi in the future." You have raised a good child, a child who can be made. ”

Speaking of his own child, Li Nan didn't seem to have much to say, just nodded and smiled. It can be regarded as acquiescing to Mr. Chen's statement. In fact, he and Mr. Chen have the same idea, and think that being strong can be cultivated.

While talking, the three of them ran around East Lake. Zhuang Zhuang trotted back and asked, "Teacher Chen, are we still running?" ”

Teacher Chen and Li Nan stopped. Li Nan waved his hand and then beckoned Zhuang Zhuang over and said, "Let's go to Teacher Chen's practice ground, you go over and have a look first, and if it's too dirty, clean it up." Zhuang Zhuang agreed and ran forward. You could tell he was happy too.

Teacher Chen and Li Nan walked towards the grove, and Teacher Chen said, "This matter is also a big deal for your family, so don't worry, you go back and discuss it with your family, if there is no problem, let me know, and I will arrange the apprenticeship ceremony." ”

It seems that Mr. Chen is really cautious about this matter, and Li Nan agreed, "Okay! I'll go back and talk to my family, and it shouldn't change. ”

"Think about it, the only child in the family suddenly went to learn martial arts with someone, and he has to learn it for a lifetime, can the family really be so down-to-earth? There will be some worries to some extent. Therefore, the family must discuss it well and have sufficient mental preparation. You can't just worship the teacher and don't want to learn again. Teacher Chen advised.

In the past, his mother didn't agree very much, because she was afraid that practicing martial arts would affect her learning, but she slowly agreed after repeating it, and now she is very supportive of Zhuang Zhuang learning martial arts. Especially after hearing about your situation, I have no opinion. Li Nan said.

"It is relatively safe to play Tai Chi, but after all, this is also a practice of martial arts, bumps and bumps are indispensable, and falls and injuries are also common, so the family still has to be mentally prepared." Teacher Chen is always reminding his family to face it correctly.

When I came to the practice venue, Zhuang Zhuang was practicing the eight-style Taijiquan. Teacher Chen did not speak, but stood aside and watched. After Zhuang Zhuang finished playing the eight-style boxing, Mr. Chen said, "Good fight! It's a bit of a demeanor. Then he pointed out, "Tai Chi should not be a frequency from beginning to end, you can be faster and slower and mix with each other." When you hit the climax, you can go faster, and when you hit the trough, you can also slow down, the speed is relative, the main thing is not to engage in a frequency, there must be emotional fluctuations in the action, so that people look at the ups and downs. ”

"Is the center of gravity and movement okay?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

"The center of gravity is more appropriate, the movement opening is large enough, and it still looks very stretched. It is necessary to pay attention to the closing of the closing, which is more different from the opening action, so that the whole set of actions can appear full and dynamic. Teacher Chen pointed out.

"Then I'll do it again, you see." Zhuang Zhuang said happily.

"No, three times in a row." Teacher Chen corrected, "Pay attention to two points, rhythm and retraction. ”
