The next morning, Qin Zhiyong got up early in the morning and went halfway up the mountain behind the village to practice boxing.

Qin Zhiyong beat Taizu's long fist more and more proficiently. Gradually, he discovered a problem, or rather a problem.

Any boxing technique, practiced to a high level, needs the corresponding artistic conception to cooperate, in order to exert the maximum power of boxing.

Taizu Changquan was created by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, which is suitable for fighting in the army, and the evil spirit is relatively heavy, especially the last style of "sitting on Jinluan", which requires a contempt for the world and a high mentality to cooperate.

Who can sit on the Golden Luang Temple?

Emperor, of course!

Who is qualified to defy the world?

The same is the emperor.

This is the heart of Taizu Changquan, and it is also the essence of boxing.

Qin Zhiyong is a scholar who explores knowledge and avenues. His purpose is the same as that of Mr. Wang Yangming, to become a saint and a virtuous. Instead of ruling the world and sitting on the throne. The artistic conception of Taizu's long fist is incompatible with Qin Zhiyong's Confucian method of cultivating the body and mind.

If you continue to cultivate, there will definitely be problems.

On the one hand, Confucianism is sincere and sincere, and on the other hand, it needs to have the domineering spirit of despising the world.

The mood is constantly changing, and after a long time, maybe Qin Zhiyong will have a split personality and a mental breakdown.

Practicing Taizu Changquan, Qin Zhiyong stretched out his muscles and bones all over his body, and strengthened his physique, which was already the extreme. If you want to continue to dig deep into Taizu's long fist, you must abandon the Confucian method of cultivating your body and mind and retain the domineering spirit that dominates the world.

However, Confucianism's self-cultivation and self-cultivation are the foundation of Qin Zhiyong's self-cultivation. Abandoning Confucian learning and state of mind, of course, is not possible. What's more, Confucianism's knowledge of cultivating the mind is broad and profound, which is much greater than the value of Taizu's Changquan. Qin Zhiyong will not give up his roots.

Then you can only abandon Taizu Long Fist.

Qin Zhiyong wanted to learn Tai Chi.

Confucian self-cultivation pays attention to "righteousness". The body should be thoughtful, and the thoughts should be pure. Taijiquan is an internal boxing, and it is a superior method for maintaining health and nourishing the heart. The study is the way of yin and yang.

Tai Chi also pays attention to not losing or topping, and is comfortable and comfortable.

The artistic conception of Tai Chi and the self-cultivation of Confucianism can complement each other.

This is what Qin Zhiyong values the most.

It's a pity that Chen-style Taijiquan is not passed on, and if you want to learn the essence of Taijiquan from Chen Zhengying, it is completely impossible, but there is little hope.

As for stealing punches?

Qin Zhiyong didn't think about it at all. Not even the slightest thought of stealing a fist.

A set of Taizu long punches was finished.

Qin Zhiyong retracted his work and exhaled.

The activity moved the muscles, bones, qi and blood, and the body was comfortable.

"Hey. You're a long boxer, aren't you? Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in white stood not far away and said to Qin Zhiyong, "Your punch is soft. Without a bit of masculinity, you can't hit the enemy. It's useless for you to practice like this. ”

Qin Zhiyong's middle-aged man hugged his fists and said, "May I ask who you are?" ”

The middle-aged man was a little uninhibited and said, "My name is Chen Zhengzhou. The young people in the village all call me second uncle. You can call me that, too. I heard that yesterday there was a student from the village who was studying abroad. That's you, right? ”

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Qin Zhiyong has seen the second uncle. Yes, I was a scholar who came to the village yesterday. Second uncle, you say, it's useless for me to practice boxing like this. So how do you practice to be useful? ”

Chen Zhengzhou said: "Changquan is a foreign boxing technique. Of course, you have to be fierce and domineering, so that you can be powerful. You are so slow and soft, how can you beat people? Even our Chen family Taiji is not as slow or soft as you. ”

Qin Zhiyong's eyes were clear, and he didn't move in the slightest. He knew what he wanted.

Fierce? Fight the enemy? That's not what I'm after. What Qin Zhiyong wants is to cultivate the mind, maintain health, stimulate potential, and constantly improve psychological and physical fitness.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Second uncle, I practice boxing, not to beat people. ”

Chen Zhengzhou is strange, doesn't everyone who practices martial arts hope that they can become stronger and defeat the enemy? Why did Qin Zhiyong practice boxing, not to beat people?

Chen Zhengzhou asked, "Then what are you practicing martial arts for?" ”

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "It's not about practicing martial arts, it's about practicing boxing." Practicing boxing is part of the practice. I practice to strengthen my body, stimulate my potential, and gain wisdom and strength. I want to see what level of my mental and physical fitness can be. ”

Chen Zhengzhou didn't understand Qin Zhiyong's words. But there is a sense of uncertainty.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Second uncle, I'll leave first." ”

Chen Zhengzhou hurriedly grabbed Qin Zhiyong's arm and said, "Don't leave yet." You're kind of funny, kid. Chatting with you, I can increase my knowledge, and I am worthy of being a reader. Let's go, to my house. I live right next to it. ”

Qin Zhiyong smiled bitterly and said, "Second uncle, I haven't had breakfast yet." ”

Chen Zhengzhou said: "Just eat there with me." ”

It's hard to resist hospitality.

Qin Zhiyong could only go to Chen Zhengzhou's house.

Had breakfast.

Qin Zhiyong and Chen Zhengzhou had a very pleasant conversation. Qin Zhiyong said some experiences in self-cultivation and self-cultivation, as well as a superficial opinion on the boxing theory of Taizu Changquan. Chen Zhengzhou told Qin Zhiyong about the theory of Chen family Taijiquan, and also practiced Taijiquan for Qin Zhiyong.

Chen Zhengzhou's Taijiquan, of course, cannot be compared with his brother Chen Zhengying. But the basic moves and boxing of Taijiquan, Chen Zhengzhou still knows. Chen Zhengying just learned some more secret techniques of inner boxing than Chen Zhengzhou.

The basic boxing techniques can be learned by every disciple, but some secret techniques will be passed on to the next generation before the master dies.

Chen Zhengying is the head of this generation of Chen family Taijiquan. He must have learned more of the essence of internal boxing than Chen Zhengzhou.

Qin Zhiyong didn't care about the secret method of boxing. He thinks that boxing theory and basic boxing are the most important. As for the so-called secret method, he didn't attach that much importance to it.

It is not impossible to use the Confucian method of mind to control Taijiquan.

Chen Zhengzhou asked, "How about it, have you learned all the tricks of Taijiquan?" ”

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "I remember everything." I'll practice, second uncle, you give me some pointers. ”

Chen Zhengzhou nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Qin Zhiyong has never practiced Taijiquan, but he has a foundation in boxing, so he learns Taijiquan very quickly. When I played it for the first time, it was still bumpy and incoherent, but the second time, it was much smoother. When it was the third time, Qin Zhiyong added his own concept, and Taijiquan immediately changed its taste.

Well?

Chen Zhengzhou was stunned. He obviously felt that Qin Zhiyong's Tai Chi was a little different from his own Tai Chi.

Qin Zhiyong's Tai Chi gives people the feeling that it is too upright. No matter how Qin Zhiyong moved, his center of gravity never changed. His whole person is like a scale, always in absolute balance.

After playing Tai Chi three times in a row, Qin Zhiyong felt comfortable. Sure enough, Tai Chi is the most suitable for me.

"Second uncle, how am I practicing?" Qin Zhiyong asked.

Qin Zhiyong played Tai Chi for the first time, Chen Zhengzhou felt that it was okay, and when he played it for the second time, he thought it was very good. But when he practiced for the third time, Chen Zhengzhou didn't know how to evaluate it.

Because Qin Zhiyong used the Confucian method of mind to control and balance the yin and yang of Taijiquan. When it comes to consciousness and artistic conception, it has surpassed Chen Zhengzhou's understanding.

Chen Zhengzhou waved his hand and said, "You go back first." ”

I don't know how to evaluate it, so Chen Zhengzhou won't evaluate it.

Chen Zhengzhou doesn't treat Qin Zhiyong as an ordinary junior now. Qin Zhiyong gave Chen Zhengzhou the feeling that he was very knowledgeable.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Second uncle, then I'll go back to the village first." I'll come to see you again when I have time. ”

Through this conversation.

Chen Zhengzhou has gained a lot of knowledge and has some new understanding of the yin and yang of Tai Chi. And also learned the Confucian art of self-cultivation.

Qin Zhiyong learned the routines and boxing techniques of Taijiquan.

Trick routines, boxing racks, is it flower boxing and embroidered legs?

Qin Zhiyong doesn't think so.

The routines of boxing carry the concept of this boxing technique. It's like a mathematical formula. What are formulas used for? It is used to solve mathematical problems. The boxing frame and routines, with the corresponding state of mind, can be practiced to achieve results.

When the effect of boxing comes out, the physical and psychological quality will improve rapidly.

For Qin Zhiyong, practicing boxing is just a means, not an end. Strengthening the body and stimulating potential is the purpose of practicing boxing.

………………

Qin Zhiyong came down from the back mountain and met Chen Shaoqi at the entrance of the village.

Chen Shaoqi asked, "Where have you been?" I didn't come back for breakfast. ”

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "I went to the back mountain to practice boxing. I've had breakfast. Shaoqi, you don't have to worry that I'll be hungry. ”

Chen Shaoqi looked at Qin Zhiyong in surprise and asked, "Have you seen my second uncle?" ”

The second uncle, Chen Zhengzhou, is an alternative in the village.

In the past, Chen Zhengzhou lived in the village and often had conflicts with Chen Zhengying. In the end, Chen Zhengzhou moved to live in Houshan. Chen Shaoqi also knew that Chen Zhengzhou and Aunt Hong had feelings. It's just that Aunt Hong is a widow, and if they want to be together, I'm afraid it's not easy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Zhiyong arrived in the village, he got acquainted with the second uncle.

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "I've seen the second uncle." I ate breakfast at my second uncle's house. By the way, Shaoqi, I talked to my second uncle about boxing, he taught me the tricks of Taijiquan, and I told my second uncle about Taizu's long fist and physical and mental cultivation. Your dad said you can't steal punches. I followed the second uncle to learn boxing in the open, not stealing boxing. ”

Following his second uncle Chen Zhengzhou to learn Taijiquan, Qin Zhiyong still felt that it was better to say it at the beginning. lest Chen Zhengying and Chen Shaoqi know that they know Tai Chi in the future, and there will be a misunderstanding and an unclear explanation.

Chen Shaoqi said: "You can tell my father about this matter yourself." ”

Qin Zhiyong said with a gentle face: "I will personally go and explain to your father." But I still want you to talk to your dad first, so that he can be mentally prepared. ”

Qin Zhiyong walked towards the village without hurry.

Chen Shaoqi stared at his back and snorted: "This guy, when he arrived in Chenjiagou, he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. After learning Tai Chi, he is still so calm. Isn't he afraid of my father's temper? ”

………………

Chen Shaoqi still told his father Chen Zhengying about Qin Zhiyong's learning of Taijiquan.

Chen Zhengying was very angry, slapped the table hard, and scolded: "Second bastard." He actually ignored the group training and passed Taijiquan to outsiders. ”

Chen Shaoqi whispered: "Dad, Qin Zhiyong took out the Taizu Changquan and exchanged the Tai Chi with the second uncle. ”

Chen Zhengying snorted coldly: "Taizu Changquan is just a foreign boxing technique, how can it be compared to our Chen family Taiji?" The Chen family Tai Chi is an inner boxer. "It was right that the master did not pass on the essence of Taijiquan to the second child before he died. The master has a good eye, and he has long seen that the second child is not a reliable person.

Chen Zhengying was a little fortunate that the second eldest Chen Zhengzhou only learned the basic tricks of Taijiquan, but did not learn the essence of Taijiquan. Otherwise, Chen Jia Taiji is afraid that he will really be learned by outsiders this time.
