45 The Mystery of Tai Chi
It was another sunny morning, and instead of going to the big playground, I went to Teacher He's house.
I haven't seen him for a few days, Mr. He seems to be different from before, he used to be funny, but he still has a little bit of the aura of an old man, and now, he is happy like a child.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Teacher He smiled and put a cup of tea in front of me.
I was speechless and said, "Teacher, didn't you say it on the phone the day before yesterday?" β
"Oh, you're going to be the boss of Cangwu, aren't you?" Teacher He thought about it and said, "Can I ask why?" β
"People often bully me." I still haven't told Liu Yulong.
"How did you bully you?" Teacher He took a sip of tea.
Well, this is going to be the end of the question, so I had to tell the story of what happened these days.
After listening to this, Teacher He finally became serious and said, "Then what do you think?" β
"I don't want to be bullied by him, I want to be the boss of Cangwu." No matter what, no matter what plan Teacher He needs to use me to execute, I just want to be the boss of Cangwu now.
Teacher He smiled slightly, and said let's go, take you somewhere.
Although I was confused, I still followed Mr. He out of his house.
After walking a few hundred meters, I finally couldn't help it anymore and said Teacher, let's take a taxi?
"No money." Teacher He, as always, slammed the door.
"I have."
In this way, we took a taxi and headed straight to our destination.
It took about half an hour before the taxi stopped, and I wondered how long it would have been since I walked......
It was a desert with no people, and there were no people within a radius of several miles, and even the driver looked at us in surprise when he left.
Teacher He ignored it and took me away.
Finally, after some time, I saw a circle on the ground, and inside the circle, half yin and half yang, and between yin and yang, there were two small circles opposite to it.
This is...... Tai Chi Yin and Yang Diagram?!
"Teacher, this ......"
"Don't you want to be the boss of Cangwu, how can you do it if you don't have any skills?" Teacher He stood in the middle of the yin-yang diagram and said, "Look at it." After speaking, he practiced in the yin and yang diagram.
Tai Chi, this is Tai Chi!
Teacher He can actually play Tai Chi!
Tai Chi is a relatively old boxing technique, and it is rumored that Tai Chi is the slowest speed, avoiding the fastest fist, and I don't know if it's true.
In the past, I have only seen the shadow of Tai Chi in movies, at most I have seen the old man play in the square, and in my impression, this is for the elderly to exercise.
But I never expected that Mr. He would be so powerful!
Because, in the process of his hand circle, a large leaf centered on him also danced with the wind, and finally froze in Mr. He's palm, forming a round ball. Teacher He's hands spread out suddenly, and the leaves were scattered everywhere, but just right, they just happened to pounce on the lines of the yin-yang diagram.
When I first watched Zhang Sanfeng, I thought it was a special effect, but I didn't expect that someone could really do it in reality, and I was shocked on the spot.
Therefore, Mr. He has finished practicing, and I haven't recovered from the scene just now.
"How?"
I applauded vigorously: "Teacher, you are amazing. β
"You try."
"Huh?" I was stunned.
I thought that Mr. He just asked me to come and see, and I never thought that I would have to practice myself.
"What's wrong? I played a trick just now, now you can try it. β
"I won't."
"It's okay, remember how much to practice."
"I didn't remember a single move." I felt my face flush.
"......" Teacher He slapped his forehead and said, "Haven't you seen Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng?" You wouldn't be able to do that simple? I've tried my best to accommodate you, and I've played almost all the tricks that I played in the movies. "It's true, no wonder I just felt familiar, it turns out that this is the plot that was released in the movie.
"Then I'll try it." I said cautiously.
Teacher He nodded and let me stand in the circle.
And I'm ...... The hands are gesturing, looking like prosthetic limbs.
Teacher He said: "Footsteps, footsteps! Be steady...... Haven't you ever tied a horse? β
I honestly said, "No, I've never been to the boot camp. β
Teacher He's eyes widened: "Good guy, you haven't been to the novice camp yet?" I thought you were from the Ground Character Class! β
I stopped practicing, lowered my head, and didn't dare to look at Teacher He.
Before, Mr. He wanted me to be a cangwu handle, but he took a fancy to my strength, and he couldn't imagine that I had never been to the novice camp at all.
Teacher He came over and asked, "You are so good, why don't you study hard?" Then he muttered, "My plan...... Depend on! How do you have a virtue with Lin Yeyang? β
When it came to Lin Yeyang, I had nothing to say, and said, "Teacher, is Uncle Lin your apprentice?" β
Maybe it was boring, but Teacher He didn't hide it: "No, he is my brother, but his kung fu is indeed taught by me...... By the way, his daughter-in-law was also taught by me. β
"He, his daughter-in-law?" I really don't see it.
Obviously, the cold pupils scared him out that day, okay? Leng Tong is his apprentice?
"What kind of eyes are you?" Teacher He looked at me with an unhappy face, "Leng Tong is really my apprentice, but her temper is too explosive, if she really fights, she can't beat me; But I can't fight, because Lin Yeyang will help her, she and Lin Yeyang join forces, and they are invincible in the world! β
Hearing the last sentence, I became disdainful: "Really? β
"Why am I lying to you? If they hadn't gotten married, I would have had to break them up, those two powerful masters ended up as husband and wife, isn't this a special abuse of dogs? β
"Why are they invincible?"
"Because they both know tai chi, and they have realized no less than me."
Regardless of whether I agree or not, Mr. He spoke directly.
In fact, it is also very simple, Tai Chi is divided into two sides, Yin and Yang, ordinary people play Tai Chi, will think that Tai Chi is a kind of power to overcome rigidity with softness, and among them, there are many articles.
There are still a lot of truths in it.
For example, Mr. He, what he realized was: embrace the darkness and guard the light.
- Do you see that white spot on the yin side of Tai Chi? What you think is evil in the dark side, however, is why it is the dark side in order to embrace the light in the darkness; You think that the sunny side is justice, and its interior is being eroded by that bit of blackness.
A few years later, yin replaced yang, yang replaced yin, and when we felt that the world had been turned upside down, we were surprised to find that black was still black, and white was still white.
Has it changed? No change...... But has it really not changed? In fact, it has changed long before we even notice.
This is what Master He realized, he believes that there is no wrong right in the world, this is what Tai Chi taught him.
And what Lin Yeyang realized from this is balance.
There is white in black, black in white, and the curve in the middle is like a balance. He believes that black and white must coexist and are indispensable.
The reason why Lin Yeyang and Leng Tong's Tai Chi is so powerful is because they have realized the truth of balance: Leng Tong is yin, and the soft boxing method of Tai Chi is extremely brutal in her hands; Lin Yeyang is yang, seemingly weak, but in fact, he overcomes rigidity with softness; The combination of these two different types of boxing is the truth of invincibility and balance in the world.
"The so-called Tai Chi is teaching many truths to future generations, some things that you will not understand in your lifetime, Tai Chi has already taught us, but you have not discovered it." Teacher He finally concluded.
After listening to these words, I was stunned, I always thought that Tai Chi was just a kung fu, I didn't expect that there were so many things behind it, it turned out that the ancestors had already buried so many things in Tai Chi, just waiting for future generations to discover.
No wonder, Zhang Sanfeng in the movie was able to defeat the villain in the end, not because of how powerful his boxing skills were - is his kung fu great? Apparently not very powerfulβbut he realized the truth of being reborn from the fire.
Taijiquan is carried forward by Zhang Sanfeng, yes, but it was not founded by him, the founder of Taijiquan, is still a mystery.
