Chapter 127: Tai Chi
Because in Ilte's opinion, if he encounters this person, his ability is not in the same class as himself. In the art of war of the Ilte Expo, as the saying goes, thirty-six strategies are the best ones. In a situation where it is completely unmatchable, running is indeed the best way to preserve combat power.
"What if you can't run away?"
There was a smile in Caios' eyes.
"If you can't run away, then negotiate, or give in, and wait for an opportunity to find an opportunity...... Anyway, it's all about survival! ”
"Haha, that's a good word, but what if the other party insists on taking your life?"
“……”
"Teacher, you said, how should we deal with such a problem?"
Alan asked seriously.
"So this is the second skill that needs to be instructed on you, and the last skill we have left on this 'Spell Heart' that we can guide you now."
"What is it?!"
Because the skills taught by Caios before opened the eyes of the two, their eyes shone brightly!
"Tai Chi."
Caios replied calmly.
"Tai Chi?! What is that?! ”
"It's an ancient form of boxing, also from the East. But it's completely different from the 'Eight Gate Dunjia'. It is a boxing technique derived from the philosophical ideas of a thousand-year-old country in the East. The dialectical concept of yin and yang is like the sunrise and sunset, and I believe that the two of you should understand. This method does not rely on the flow of breath in the body or the formation of circuits to burst out energy. It relies on the concept of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, using the mind to dominate the whole body, through the repeated practice of meditation and relaxation, guiding qi with intention, and urging the qi again, in order to enter the realm of the wonderful hand and Taiji, and Tai Chi to transform the void, to control the enemy with stillness. ”
"Defeat the enemy with quiet?!"
"Yes, that sounds like the opposite of any skill or martial art we've ever learned, right? No matter what kind of martial arts, it is based on the characteristics of 'fast is not broken'. But don't worry, let me continue. 'Tai Chi' pays attention to the characteristics of calm mind and loose body, coherence and coherence of round and live, clear distinction between virtual and real, and natural breathing. In the scenario we assumed earlier, if the enemy could observe the direction of the aura in your body, they would be able to simulate your move, 'treat others the way they would', and you wouldn't be able to parry, right? But if you're using 'Tai Chi', then there's no tricks at all, and there's no breath flowing! ”
"So amazing?!"
Ilte's eyes widened again, startled. Because, this is simply subverting his concept. What's the use of not having discipline or breath flow skills?
"As I said earlier, 'Tai Chi' is all about stillness, because only when your body and mind can calm down, will you not have any distractions in your mind, and you will not be disturbed by any external interference. In terms of the psychological pressure of fighting, it has been reduced a lot. Secondly, to direct qi with intention is to use the will to control your breath to give your body more power. Instead of using qi to force the body to make a variety of movements and skills. Finally, if you urge you to do so, you can smoothly play various moves to resolve the crisis. Therefore, the relaxation of the mind and body is only the basic requirement for 'Tai Chi'. And if you want to be attained, you need to be able to be "round and coherent". The so-called 'coherence' encompasses many aspects, the most important of which refers to the coherence of the limbs, that is, 'the continuity of the body'. Use the waist as a hub. In the process of action transformation, the lower body should be able to straddle with a belt, straddle with the knee, and bring the foot with the knee; For the upper body, you need to carry it with a belt, a shoulder belt, a shoulder with an elbow, and finally an elbow with a hand or fist. The connection between actions and actions requires 'potential connection' - the end of the previous action is the beginning of the next action, and there is no break or pause between the potential. And 'round life' is a higher requirement, that is, living smoothly and naturally. No trick is a trick! ”
"This is subtle, that is, this is a 'pure' physical technique, which does not rely on the flow of any breath to drive the activation of skills."
Alan sat up and said.
"It can be understood that in addition, there are two things that need to be done, the first is that 'movement is like a thread, and walking is like a cat'. It should be noted here that the virtual-real transformation should be appropriate. Since the limbs are the foundation, there can be no instability in the movement of all parts of the limbs. Otherwise, you will be killed. Generally speaking, the lower limbs are mainly 'solid' in the legs that support the body weight. The leg that assists in supporting or moving and changing steps is 'virtual', the arm that embodies the main content of the movement in the upper limb is 'solid', and the arm that assists in coordination is 'virtual'. For example, I need to kill the opponent with one palm, but I usually pretend to attack with my other hand, form a parry, and wait for the opportunity to move! The second point is your breathing. Since there is no flow in the body, the breath can only be driven by the breath. There are four types of breathing, which are natural breathing, abdominal proximity, abdominal reverse breathing, and fist breathing. No matter which breathing method you use, you should control your breath naturally, evenly, slowly, and naturally with your movements. I recommend that if you are just starting out, you can use natural breathing. If you want to take it a step further, you can look into other breathing methods. ”
After speaking, Caios put his feet together, his hands naturally drooping, and lightly pressed against the outside of his legs, his whole body relaxed but without flaws. He breathed smoothly and looked straight ahead. The next moment, the center of his body began to shift, and his left foot was off the ground and he took a stride to the left. The right foot did the same. Then he slowly raised his hands in front of his chest, his shoulders were loose, and his elbows drove his arms down, instantly striking a set of punches, dazzling and steady. Fiction and reality, Allen and Ilt are dizzying.
But the most terrifying thing is that the set of punches prompted by Kaios seems to be easy and weak, but it is actually powerful. Alan and Ilt both sat up halfway from the ground, but they could hear the wind whistling around them. In a short time, all the sweat on their bodies and on the ground was evaporated!
"Okay, the moves and essentials have been taught to you, the practice of 'Eight Gates Dunjia' and 'Tai Chi Boxing' complement each other and are not contradictory, you can slowly use 'Tai Chi Boxing' to adjust your breathing and restore your strength after you have endured the overload practice of trying to open the 'Eight Gates'. Of course, don't push too hard, little ghosts, haha. ”
Keos laughed.
"Okay, it's up to us next!"
Allen and Ilt stood up and punched again.
"Come on, brother!"
They each picked up the "balance stone" again and ran like crazy......
