Chapter 82: Tai Chi Swordsmanship
Outside the imperial capital, in a quiet courtyard, bamboo walls and fences, green bamboo shade, the courtyard is full of flowers, small bridges and flowing water, colorful small fish swim around in the stream, the whole courtyard is like an early spring, and the cold outside is completely different.
Under the eaves, which are all made of nan bamboo, there is a bamboo cage, and an emerald green parrot jumps around excitedly.
"Ah Xing! Sing! β
Seeing the cloud butterfly and blue star coming in from outside the courtyard, the parrot flapped its wings and shouted loudly in a sharp voice.
"Hey, this bird can talk? Is it a parrot? I didn't expect to know you. β
Yun Die lifted the long skirt and gently walked to the cage and asked curiously.
Before Blue Star could answer, the parrot called out to Cloud Butterfly again, "Who are you?" Who are you? β
"Little thing, I'm Yundie, who are you?"
She smiled and stretched out her finger to tease it, but the parrot jumped down and pecked her finger hard, and the noisy voice rang out again, "Little thing, little thing!" β
"Little thing! Dot! β
"You little thing!"
Yun Die glanced at her finger unhappily, she was pecked red, it hurt!
"You little thing!"
The parrot also said in the tone of the cloud butterfly.
"You..." Yundie suddenly found that she had lost in the hands of a bird, and she was actually angry with a parrot?
"Alright, let's go!"
Lan Xing grabbed Yun Die's wrist and looked at her funny, then turned his head and stared at the little parrot in the cage viciously, made a plucking motion, and warned coldly,
"Little parrot, believe it or not, I'll pluck your hair!"
"Bad guys! Villain! β
The parrot seemed to be able to understand what Blue Star was saying, and jumped to the innermost part of the cage with a "rub", away from Blue Star, and cried out in horror.
Looking at the person and bird in front of him, Yun Die couldn't help but chuckle, it seems that Lan Xing has bullied this parrot called Little Parrot.
Blue Star led Yun Butterfly through the middle corridor, and then stepped through an arched door also made of nanmu, and there was still a courtyard inside. In the courtyard, under the big ginkgo tree, a middle-aged man in a white shirt with a long figure was dancing a sword under the tree.
Lan Xing and Yun Die did not disturb him, but stood quietly under the porch and watched.
The middle-aged man just glanced at the two of them obliquely, and did not stop the movements in his hands, nor did he speak, the sword shining with cold light in his hand slowly danced under the ginkgo tree that had just grown a little bud, a pick, a wave, a stab, each action was like a movie in slow motion, but each action was very coherent, leaving no gap for the opponent at all.
Yun Die frowned and looked at the middle-aged man's movements, why did she feel like the movements of Tai Chi the more she looked at it?
Although she doesn't, there are often groups of uncles and aunts practicing this bell boxing downstairs in the community, and every time she passes by, she feels that the power of Tai Chi in reality and Tai Chi in TV series is definitely different.
It's just that the uncles and aunts in the community are empty-handed, and this man has an extra sword in his hand......
She couldn't help but think of the Tai Chi swordsmanship in the TV series.
Is this it?
Because she felt familiar, Yun Die looked at it very carefully, thinking about the Tai Chi swordsmanship she saw on TV, and unconsciously her hands danced with the man's slow motion.
Gently waving up, pushing forward hard, and when she raised her hand, she almost slapped her palm on Lan Xing's chest, and then she remembered that there was a person standing next to her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I think it's too familiar, so I can't help it..... Hey. β
Yun Die glanced at the surprised and inexplicable Blue Star, and waved her hand awkwardly to explain.
"Familiar? Will you? β
Lan Xing asked in surprise, it was the first time he had seen Master make this set of swordsmanship, and Yun Die actually said that he felt familiar?
"I..."
Yun Die was dumbfounded for a moment, what did she say? Can she tell him she's seen tai chi?
Legend has it that Taijiquan was created by Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng was a person from the late Southern Song Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and it is not quite compatible with this dynasty!
Forget it, she doesn't know which dynasty this is.
"Girl."
At this time, the middle-aged man had already put away his sword and walked towards the two of them with light steps.
"Meet the Master!"
Lan Xing hurriedly took two steps forward and respectfully saluted the man.
"Ah Xing is here? Who is this girl? β
The middle-aged man's facial features are very good, but he has a pair of eyes that shoot cold stars, and his two curved eyebrows are like paint, although he smiles shallowly, there is a chill on his body.
"Master, this is my fiancΓ©e, and she will soon become my crown princess."
Bluestar respectfully introduced the man.
"Oh? Girl, is it true? β
The man looked at Yun Die with a smile, but in that smile, there seemed to be no trace of temperature, only a biting chill.
"Master, I'm serious, Fluttershy, the woman I've been looking for."
Lan Xing dragged Yun Die to his side and said coldly.
"Really?" 360 Literature Network
The man smiled and stared at Yun Die, Yun Die was not afraid, and looked at him bravely with his head held high, especially meow, I am a soul from the 21st century, who is afraid of whom?
After a long time, when he felt the strength of the blue star on his wrist gradually growing, the middle-aged man withdrew all the coercion and greeted the two with a smile.
"Since you're here, please sit in the room."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked to a room not far away.
The two followed the middle-aged man into the house, and the man was already seated in the main seat, and the two of them sat down under the man.
Yun Die looked around the room, all the bamboo products, from bookshelves to screens and cups, were all made of fine polished and smooth bamboo.
The whole room was filled with a faint aroma unique to bamboo, making people feel that all the air here was fresh, Yun Die couldn't help but take two sips, she suddenly had an impulse, she also wanted a room like this, preferably with a bamboo swing, a reclining chair and the like, holding a book and lying on the swing obliquely, bathing in the warm sunshine, listening to her favorite music, and drinking tea with the fragrance of bamboo.....
"Fluttershy, Master's question!"
Seeing Yun Die's intoxicated appearance with her eyes closed, Lan Xing couldn't help but reach out and pull the corner of her clothes.
"Huh? What the? β
She opened her eyes with a blank look, was she distracted just now?
Thinking of this fact, Yun Die's old face couldn't help but blush, and his face was full of embarrassment with a capital letter.
The middle-aged man sitting in the first seat was stunned, this was the first time that someone could still be so calmly distracted in front of him, heh, it was really interesting.
For Ah Xing's sake, he reluctantly said it again.
"My name is Gongsun Ying, I am Ah Xing's master, I saw that the girl just now seemed to be very interested in my swordsmanship, so I wanted to ask the girl what she thought of my swordsmanship just now?"
"Master Gongsun, if you ask me, I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person, and I don't know martial arts, so I can't understand it at all!"
Yun Die opened her mouth in surprise, and asked her if it was better to ask the blue star next to her, did this master deliberately want her to make a fool of herself?
"But you just learned along..."
Gongsun Ying couldn't help frowning, the swordsmanship he had just created, he didn't expect this girl to be able to keep up with his rhythm at a glance, saying that she didn't have the internal strength to believe in it, and said that she didn't know anything at all, he didn't believe it.
Although he didn't look at her just now, he had been secretly observing, and Yun Die could even beat and a half faster than him sometimes. In his eyes, this girl is either a martial arts wizard or knows this set of swordsmanship.
It is obviously impossible to know this set of swordsmanship, that is, this girl has talent in this area.
"I... I just thought it was fun to dance along......"
Yun Die rolled her big clear eyes and opened her eyes to tell nonsense.
"Just dance twice?"
At this moment, even Lan Xing doesn't believe it, if Gongsun Ying didn't look carefully, Lan Xing looked very carefully, although Yun Die was empty-handed, he might not be as strong as Gongsun Ying, but his movements were not bad at all!
Even he, a person with strong martial arts, may not be better than Yun Butterfly for the first time.
"That's right, I was originally dancing with Master Gongsun casually, otherwise what?"
Yun Die looked innocent, blinked her big eyes, and tried hard to convince them, "I don't know martial arts, I don't have internal strength, don't you already know all this?" Otherwise, I wouldn't be so miserable. β
Seeing Yun Die say this, Lan Xing nodded silently, she was not wrong, this woman is indeed not good at martial arts.
Looking at their appearance, Gongsun Ying was half-convinced, he was not afraid that Lan Xing would deceive him, he was afraid that Lan Xing would be deceived by Yun Die, what kind of character his apprentice had, Gongsun Ying was very clear, the more shrewd and wise people are, the less likely it is to trust others, but it is also easy to have a tendon, sometimes he identifies a person or a thing, and it is unlikely that he wants to turn back.
During the banquet, a small servant came in with tea, and when he saw the cloud butterfly beside Lan Xing, he was surprised for a moment, but he didn't make a sound, and retreated silently after serving the tea.
"Your name is Yundie, right?"
Gongsun Ying, who was sitting at the top, asked again.
"Yes, Master Gongsun."
Yun Die's jaw replied.
"Miss Yun, I can put aside the marriage between you and Ah Xing for the time being, if you can help me give this set of swordsmanship a satisfactory name, I can teach this set of swordsmanship to Ah Xing and let him use it to protect you, what do you think?"
Gongsun Ying still looked at Yun Die with a smile, the light in his eyes was not negligible, as if Yun Die didn't agree, he would be able to turn his face and not recognize people in an instant.
"Uh... You don't have a name for this swordsmanship? β
Yun Die asked in surprise.
"Hmm."
Gongsun Ying smiled and nodded, not angry at Yun Die's rudeness at all.
"In this case..."Yun Die thought for a moment and spoke, "I'll put aside his marriage beforehand, and put aside the things you teach anyone, I'll give it a name and call it Tai Chi Swordsmanship." β
"Tai Chi swordsmanship?"
Gongsun Ying and Lan Xing were stunned at the same time, naming such a complicated set of swordsmanship, she came out without thinking about it?
"Well, it's called Tai Chi swordsmanship, Tai Chi, Wuji gives birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, gossip turns all things, it's called Tai Chi, what does Master Gongsun think?"
Yun Die smiled and recited the lines in the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, and gave herself a big thumbs up in her heart, fortunately she watched a lot of martial arts dramas, otherwise she would really be poor in donkey skills.
"Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji gives birth to all things..."
Gongsun Ying sat cross-legged on the top, forgetting to put down the bamboo cup in his hand, and repeated Yun Die's words in a low voice.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Miss Yun is right, Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, gossip turns all things, it is so wonderful!"
Gongsun Ying read it twice, laughed and laughed, the essence in his eyes was gone, and he was replaced with a plain and kind appearance.
"Ah Xing, you crown princess is so interesting! Hahaha! β
