Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tai Chi
The parallel world of the Great Song Dynasty, on the shore of Peach Blossom Island.
Guo Jing was dressed in a simple brown dress, with a tall figure like a pine, and Guo Fu in a fiery red dress beside him.
"Daddy, we've been waiting for a long time, the sun is about to rise, why hasn't Uncle Shi come yet?"
"This ...... It should be coming soon, right? Your uncle said that he has nothing to do recently, and the time is very loose, and he will come a month in advance. ”
Today's Great Song Dynasty is rising like the sun, sweeping all countries, even the Mongolian Tartars have fallen into an obvious disadvantage, almost being pressed and beaten by the Great Song Dynasty, even if there are a large number of martial arts masters to serve and help them, it is only a matter of time to slow down the pace of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before it perishes.
In this way, Guo Jing naturally does not have to guard Xiangyang, Xiangyang now has nearly forty cannons on the city wall, these cannons are worse than Gu Yunze's cannons in the modern period of the world, but it is still more than enough to fight twenty or thirty miles.
Forty cannons to that one, unless there are 400,000 dead soldiers who are not afraid of life and death on the opposite side, Xiangyang is basically as stable as Mount Tai.
Originally, in the plot, Guo Jing guarded Xiangyang mainly because the Mongol Tatars would slaughter the city and destroy the country every time they went, if they couldn't keep them out of Xiangyang, once they were allowed to attack the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be a sea of blood, so he would defend Xiangyang without hesitation.
Guo Jing definitely doesn't like to fight, he prefers his wife and children to be hot on the kang compared to vigorous.
It's like his life on Peach Blossom Island right now.
Two months ago, Huang Rong gave birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter is still called Guo Xiang, and the son is not called "Guo Poyu" like in the plot, called Guo Yi, Huang Rong, who gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, is now recuperating from her body, so she didn't come out with them to greet Zhang Sanfeng and others.
"Daddy, Uncle Tai only said that he would come a month in advance, but he didn't say that he would come on that day!"
Guo Fu, who accompanied Guo Jing to greet Zhang Sanfeng, wiped the sweat on his forehead, there is no grass and trees on the shore of Peach Blossom Island, and naturally there is no place to shade and enjoy the shade.
"Sailing on the sea, the situation is unpredictable, and if there is any accident, it is normal to be late." Guo Jing is now in his thirties, and his internal cultivation can be called the world's first-class, although the sun is scorching at the moment, Guo Jing does not see any sweat on his forehead, his eyes are slightly narrowed, looking at the sea from afar.
"Let's wait a few more days, we can always wait," Guo Jing said a little helplessly, "The peach forest on this Peach Blossom Island was laid down by Lord Yuezhang with the technique of Qimen Dunjia, if there is no guide from me, it will be difficult for others to enter." ”
As soon as Guo Jing finished speaking, Guo Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead again.
"Fu'er, if you are tired, go back first, this sun is vicious, your skills are still shallow, if you can't bear it, go back first, for the father himself is here ......"
"No need Dad, my daughter will go to the peach blossom forest to find a shady place to rest for a while, wait for the sun to go down for a while, and my daughter will come to accompany you again."
"No need, Fu'er, you can go back directly," Guo Jing bowed, "When it's time for a snack, if your uncle hasn't come yet, my father will also go back, and then you and I will finish eating, and then come over together to wait to welcome your uncle, and the sun will not be so poisonous at that time." ”
People in the Song Dynasty usually only ate two meals a day, one meal at the time of Chen, called "big food", and one meal at the time of Shen, called "small food".
"Okay, that daughter will go back first," Guo Fu saluted and turned around, walked two steps, stopped and turned around, and asked Guo Jing in a somewhat slurred tone: "Daddy, Uncle Tai's reply letter said Yang ...... Will Yang Guo come? ”
"Well," Guo Jing nodded, "Uncle Shi's reply said that he would bring his wife who had not passed through the door to celebrate the 100th birthday of your younger brothers and sisters in the future." ”
As soon as Guo Fu heard this, her face immediately became a little wrong, and the tone of her voice unconsciously rose: "The wife who has not passed the door?!" ”
"Well, your uncle's reply said that he would bring Miss Long, the heir of the ancient tomb sect on Zhongnan Mountain, to give your younger brothers and sisters a 100-day banquet," Guo Jing showed a fatherly smile on his face, "The last time my father saw my son was two years ago, who knew that he would solve the major events in his life quietly." ”
Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words.
But Yang Guo's situation is special, Guo Jing, as his uncle, only hopes that he will not go down the evil path, in addition, if his daughter Guo Fu can marry Yang Guo, the two families will be close to each other, it would be the best, but if he already has a favorite person, Guo Jing will definitely not force it.
He is just loyal and honest, but he is not pedantic, the original plot opposed Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, the main reason is that the marriage of master and apprentice is indeed not in accordance with the etiquette law, and it is against the norm, this kind of thing is not exempt from vulgarity, let alone Guo Jing.
But now Yang Guo is Zhang Sanfeng's apprentice, and the relationship between him and Xiaolongnu is also to teach each other martial arts, rather than being a disciple of the teacher, so there is no problem at all.
People in the rivers and lakes usually don't care much about the words of the matchmaker, if the parents are ordered, Guo Jing, the uncle, supports it, and Zhang Sanfeng, the master, also supports it, then there is no problem.
"Guo'er is almost crowned, and when he comes this time, his father must urge him well, so that he can marry that dragon girl as soon as possible."
The son of the righteous brother is about to start a family, and Guo Jing's face can't help but be overjoyed.
"Humph!" Guo Fu raised his foot and kicked the beach, raised a large piece of flying sand, and then turned around and ran away quickly.
"Alas! This girl! Why did you suddenly turn your face when you said it well? ”
Watching Guo Fu run away, Guo Jing was confused.
"Could it be...... Fu'er likes Guo'er......" he thought to himself, "No, the relationship between Fu'er and Guo'er in Peach Blossom Island didn't look very good, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, and the possibility of falling in love is far less than the possibility of having a bad heart...... Wait a minute! Don't...... Fu'er hated it, because she couldn't see him well? ”
Guo Jing's heart jumped, and he felt that he seemed to have guessed the truth, and he suddenly felt a big headache.
He raised his gaze and looked at the sky, ready to think about how to resolve the conflict between Fu'er and Guo'er, but he saw a black spot in front of the clouds, which was extremely small and would be almost impossible to spot if it were not for the white clouds behind him.
Guo Jing's internal skills are profound and his five senses are keen, and at this moment, he looked at it and found that the black dot seemed to be flying in the direction of Peach Blossom Island.
The closer the black dot is, the clearer Guo Jing's vision becomes.
"Division...... Teacher...... Uncle Shi! ”
Guo Jing rubbed his eyes vigorously, feeling that he might not have woken up yet.
High in the sky, Zhang Sanfeng was surrounded by two energies, one yin and one yang, and took him and Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu behind him through the clouds and fog, and went straight to Peach Blossom Island.
……
"Division...... Uncle Shi? ”
Zhang Sanfeng took Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu with him, and he saw Guo Jing standing on the shore waiting for them from a distance.
Zhang Sanfeng walked with the wind, and landed about two zhang away in front of Guo Jing with Yang Guo Xiaolongnu, and the energy of his body was entangled with each other, dissipating and invisible.
Guo Jing came here to wait, originally because he was worried that Zhang Sanfeng and the others would not be able to walk through the Qimen Dunjia Formation of this peach forest and be stopped outside, but now he felt that his worries seemed to be a little redundant.
"Disciple Guo Jing pays a visit to Uncle Taishi."
Shocked to shocked, doubtful life to doubtful life, but the etiquette cannot be forgotten, Guo Jing stepped forward and sang a salute to Zhang Sanfeng.
"Guo Daxia doesn't have to be polite," Zhang Sanfeng has been a high-ranking and even powerful national teacher for several years, but his temperament is no different from when Zhong Nanshan and Guo Jingyang met for the first time, "Lao Dao brought my unsuccessful apprentice and daughter-in-law to bother me this time." ”
Zhang Sanfeng stopped Guo Jing's big salute with a smile, and asked Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu to come forward and salute.
Guo Jing saw that although Xiaolongnu's personality seemed to be a little introverted, her appearance was as beautiful as a fairy, ice muscles and jade bones, and her demeanor was also elegant and dignified, and she was extremely affectionate with Yang Guo's every move, and she was overjoyed for a while, and even the shock of seeing Zhang Sanfeng in person was diluted a lot.
……
Zhang Sanfeng and the other three followed Guo Jing into Peach Blossom Island, and when they walked through the Peach Forest Formation, Rao is Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but be amazed by Huang Yaoshi's erudition, even if it was Zhang Sanfeng, if he wanted to break this formation according to the technique of Qimen Dunjia, then he would have to make tea kung fu, not to mention tea.
It doesn't seem to sound like a good formation, but considering that this formation is only one of the many things that Huang Yaoshi has learned, it can indeed be called a "genius".
The four of them walked through the peach forest, saw Huang Yaoshi, Zhang Sanfeng and the other three stayed in the guest room.
After about half a month, other guests came to the island one after another, all of whom were the best friends of Guo Huang and his wife in their early years.
Huang Yaoshi's personality is deviant, arrogant and uninhibited, and his temperament is also very withdrawn, he lives alone on this Peach Blossom Island, and only occasionally goes to the Central Plains for a walk.
If it weren't for Huang Rong giving birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, which made his grandfather overjoyed, he would not have allowed outsiders to come to Peach Blossom Island to disturb his purity.
But after meeting Zhang Sanfeng, Huang Yaoshi felt that it might not be a good thing to allow people to go to the island this time.
Huang Yaoshi once learned from Guo Jing that Zhang Sanfeng was Wang Chongyang's uncle, and he was interested in Zhang Sanfeng at that time.
Under a discussion, he suddenly felt that Zhang Sanfeng was a pedantic man, and he was really a great talent in the world, so he was overjoyed, and he pulled him to drink tea and play chess every day, and discussed the Tao, and the two had similar interests and a harmonious relationship.
If it weren't for Zhang Sanfeng's refusal, Huang Yaoshi might have even married him as a brother with a different surname.
……
On Peach Blossom Island, the day of Guo Xiang and Guo Yi's 100th birthday banquet.
The originally clean Peach Blossom Island came with a lot of guests today, Ma Jue among the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, Zhou Botong, the old naughty boy, Ke Zhenevil, the flying bat of the head of the Seven Monsters in the south of the Yangtze River, Master Yilan and so on......
In Guo Jing's house, Zhang Sanfeng held Guo Xiang who was still in swaddling clothes in his arms, his face was full of love, teasing her from time to time, and Guo Xiang's pink little face also bloomed with an innocent smile.
Guo Yi, who was placed in the basket on the side, blinked his dark and bright eyes, and didn't understand why he and his sister were treated so poorly.
"Uncle Shi, the weather is bad today, I'm afraid that there will be a rainstorm on Peach Blossom Island," Guo Jing stood beside Zhang Sanfeng, glanced at the dark and oppressive sky outside the window, and sighed, "Xiang'er and Yi'er's 100-year-old banquet was originally wanted to be held in the peach forest, but it's a pity that ...... It seems that this 100-year-old banquet has to be held in the house. ”
The peach trees and climate of Peach Blossom Island are very peculiar, and most of the peach trees in other places have passed the flowering period and are beginning to bear fruit, but most of the peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island are still on the trees.
The peach blossom petals fell all over the ground, and there were a lot of peach blossoms left on the tree, not sparse at all, Guo Jing and Huang Rong originally planned to hold a 100-day banquet in the peach forest, and there were not too many guests here, they were all old friends who had a good personal relationship with them, and the scale of the 100-day banquet was not large, and it could be held in the peach forest.
But Peach Blossom Island is an island after all, the weather is unpredictable, and at this moment, looking out of the window, the blue sky that was clear and high yesterday has now been suppressed by black clouds.
Huang Yaoshi had already calculated today's storm based on his knowledge and experience a few days ago, but he couldn't guarantee that it would be accurate, so he made two preparations.
Tables, chairs and candlesticks have been set up in the largest house on Peach Blossom Island, and if the storm does not come, there will still be a 100-year-old banquet in the peach forest.
If the storm does come, close the doors and windows and light candles in the house for a feast.
It's just that in this way, although the storm can be avoided, the guests stay in a small room and hold a banquet with candles lit, which is a little cold.
Originally, when everyone saw the sun shining in the sky yesterday, there was still some luck in their hearts, but this morning, the dark clouds covered the top and the wind blew, which suddenly broke their only remaining luck.
The storm is coming, so I can only go to the house to light a candle, and there is no way to do it, and I am not drenched in the soup outside.
"Go to the house? That's not necessary," Zhang Sanfeng stopped teasing Guo Xiang and gently put her on the bed, "I have a way to do it." ”
Guo Xiang, who was placed on the bed, stretched out his hand from the swaddling clothes and stretched out to Zhang Sanfeng vigorously, babbling in his mouth, looking at Zhang Sanfeng with clear big eyes, as if he wanted him to pick himself up.
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned for a moment, then picked up Guo Xiang again, got up and walked towards the door: "Guo Daxia, you pick up Yi'er, I will take Xiang'er, hand them over to Mrs. Ling and Brother Huang, I will call you a set of martial arts." ”
Guo Jing: ???
What is Uncle Shi talking about? Why can't I understand a word? Isn't there a solution to the impending rainstorm? Why do you want to teach me martial arts?
Guo Jing's thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of doubts, but as an honest man, he still honestly picked up Guo Yi and followed Zhang Sanfeng's footsteps.
……
Peach Blossom Island, near the peach forest.
Guo Jing stood beside Zhang Sanfeng, holding Guo Xiang who was tightly wrapped in his arms.
Perhaps because Zhang Sanfeng has been too fond of Guo Xiang in the past month, Guo Xiang and Zhang Sanfeng are very close, Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Jing just handed over Guo Xiang and Guo Yi to Huang Rong and Huang Yaoshi and turned to leave, Guo Xiang began to cry.
When Zhang Sanfeng turned around and walked back, Guo Xiang stopped crying and laughed "giggles".
Zhang Sanfeng turned around and left again, and Guo Xiang began to cry again.
Zhang Sanfeng walked back, and Guo Xiang began to laugh again.
In desperation, Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Jing had no choice but to wrap Guo Xiang in thicker swaddling clothes, and then brought her to this peach forest together.
"Uncle Shi, you just said that you have a method, what is it?"
Guo Jing originally didn't believe that there was anything else to do at this moment, but considering that Zhang Sanfeng's previous imperial qi was in the sky, he felt that this living immortal-like uncle was really difficult to deal with, maybe he really had any way?
Zhang Sanfeng didn't answer immediately, he walked slowly into the peach forest, and opened his mouth to Guo Jing, who was more than ten feet away, and his voice sounded like it sounded on Guo Jing's side.
"Guo Daxia, a few years ago, Lao Dao once created a style of martial arts, called Taijiquan," Zhang Sanfeng's voice seemed to have some ethereal meaning, "This set of martial arts is my proud mastery, but the requirements for the state of mind are quite high, and ordinary people are rare in their lives, so I hope that Guo Daxia can comprehend this set of boxing techniques, so that there will be no successor to this martial arts." ”
When Guo Jing heard that Zhang Sanfeng was going to pass on his lifelong martial arts, he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Zhang Sanfeng's subsequent words blocked his words, making him not know how to refuse, and the pressure in his heart suddenly increased.
After all, Zhang Sanfeng's meaning is almost to let him inherit part of the mantle, the hundred-year-old elder spoke in person, he was a little ignorant in refusal, but he always felt that he was born stupid and had reckless qualifications, if he couldn't learn Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts, wouldn't it make the old man very disappointed?
"Guo Daxia, the old way is about to begin!"
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly spoke, and Guo Jing immediately looked at Zhang Sanfeng intently.
Zhang Sanfeng stood in the peach forest, his knees sank, his arms holding the ball, posing in a Tai Chi pose, and began to recite the Tai Chi mantra and the essentials of each in his mouth.
"Tai Chi people, born without infinity, the opportunity of movement and stillness, the mother of yin and yang, yin and yang do not leave yang, yang does not leave yin, yin and yang are combined, all are gods, the heart is calm and the body is positive, the qi is running, the open and the virtual and the real, the integration of inside and outside, the combination of soft and steel, the combination of rigidity and softness, Taiji yin and yang, soft and rigid, rigid and soft, static and free......"
Zhang Sanfeng recited the mental formula of Taijiquan in his mouth, and slowly performed the path of Taijiquan.
When Zhang Sanfeng opened his mouth to read the first word, Guo Jing's attention was completely attracted, his mind was full of Tai Chi formulas, and his eyes were staring at Zhang Sanfeng's figure.
It is difficult to determine whether Guo Jing's qualifications are reckless, after all, he already has a strength comparable to the five peers in the world at the age of twenty.
But if you ask him if he has a pure heart, then the answer is absolutely yes.
And it just so happens that Tai Chi has extremely high requirements for people's state of mind, and there can be no slightest mixed thoughts, otherwise it will be difficult to practice, Zhang Sanfeng thinks about all the people he knows, and he can only be sure that three people must have this qualification.
One is Zhang Wuji, a disciple of his own world, the other is Dugu, whom he has met and talked to not long after he first arrived in this world, and the other is the current Guo Jing.
The facts were not as Zhang Sanfeng expected, Guo Jing just saw his Tai Chi, and the whole person was already immersed in it, and all of a sudden, his martial arts cultivation began to improve rapidly.
Zhang Sanfeng performed Tai Chi in the peach forest, and his body gradually changed from the original slow coordination to the current slow and fast, and he has played it nine times.
I don't know when, Guo Xiang in Guo Jing's arms also looked intently at Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi, and his smart black eyes reflected Zhang Laodao's ethereal and chic figure.
Suddenly, Guo Jing, who was immersed in his martial arts world, woke up and found that Zhang Sanfeng was no longer in place, he hurriedly raised his eyes and looked around, and found Zhang Sanfeng standing on the top of the highest peach tree nearby to perform Tai Chi.
He had just seen the Tai Chi taught to him by Zhang Sanfeng, and he felt that he had benefited a lot and was deeply inspired, but when he looked at it at the moment, he couldn't understand it at all, it was obviously the same as the Tai Chi just now, but in Guo Jing's eyes, the Tai Chi that Zhang Sanfeng is playing now has an indescribable charm.
Zhang Sanfeng stood on the peach tree, stepping on the gossip, waving the pipa in his palm, and the yin and yang qi flowed between his every move, gradually intertwined with the qi and earth veins of Peach Blossom Island.
Suddenly, the wind gradually rose above Peach Blossom Island, but the wind was calm below fifteen zhang on this Peach Blossom Island.
Guo Jing stood on the ground, raising his head, the dark clouds in the sky were visibly converging towards the top of Zhang Sanfeng's head, and the boundless dark clouds were surging in patches, swept by the violent wind caused by Zhang Sanfeng.
Huang Yaoshi, who wanted to come out to see his granddaughter, had just gone out when he saw the sea of clouds rushing towards the middle, and he showed a ghost-like expression.
Zhang Sanfeng's qi machine and Peach Blossom Island are combined, and the Peach Blossom Island within a radius of nearly 100 miles is shrouded in an invisible yin and yang double fish picture, and the yin and yang double fish pendant on Zhang Sanfeng's waist exudes a faint light, which melts the chaotic and turbulent sea and sky qi in the hundreds of miles of sea area into Zhang Sanfeng's yin and yang two qi.
The vast sea of clouds rushed towards the center, and above Zhang Sanfeng's head, a huge dark cloud with a diameter of more than ten miles gathered together, and dazzling thunder flashed among the clouds.
The sea of clouds gathered for about a quarter of an hour, and the clouds that were bound by Zhang Sanfeng's convergence were already close to twenty miles.
Huang Yaoshi looked up at the sky and walked to Guo Jing's side with a shocked expression: "Boy, tell me clearly, who is your senior uncle and ancestor?" If Wang Chongyang's uncle had such magical powers, he would still be able to die in his fifties?! ”
"Dad, the little son-in-law also met Shi Shuzu when he sent his son to Quanzhen Teaching Art, and it was the Quanzhen Daoists who told me that Shi Shuzu was the uncle of Chongyang Zhenren, and later Shi Shuzu also accepted his son as an apprentice......"
"Boom ——!"
Halfway through Guo Jing's words, a loud muffled sound suddenly sounded in the inky clouds, and the next moment, Zhang Sanfeng pointed into a sword and pointed towards the sea.
The ink shrank inward, its size grew smaller, its color faded, and finally it turned into a huge water mass, which swirled and transformed, turning into a water dragon, and sinking into the vast sea above the sky.
The dark clouds that stretched for hundreds of miles were cleared, and the entire Peach Blossom Island was cloudless and sunny.
The guests on the island came out early and saw this scene with their own eyes, and all of them looked like they had seen immortals or ghosts.
Zhang Sanfeng waved his neat robe and fell from the peach tree, as if he had just done a trivial matter.
"Okay, Guo Daxia," Zhang Sanfeng walked up to Guo Jing and smiled, "The old road has dispersed the dark clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles, and built an invisible wall around Peach Blossom Island with sea weather machines, the strong wind will be blocked, and the 100-day banquet can be held in Taolin." ”
Guo Jing: ......
Huang Yaoshi: ......
Suddenly, Huang Yaoshi, who was standing beside Guo Jing, said with a struggling face: "Zhang Zhenren ......"
"What's wrong, Brother Huang?"
Zhang Sanfeng turned out to be stunned Guo Xiang in Guo Jing's hand, looked at Huang Yaoshi and asked.
"You...... Do you still accept apprentices? ”
