Chapter 80: On the Tao of Tai Chi

Zhang Sanfeng did not come out of retreat, Bai Fan and others lived in the Wudang faction, this stay was more than three months, he himself had nothing to do, and the extermination master was not so leisurely as the head of the faction, and he left after staying for more than ten days, leaving only Ji Xiaofu and other three female disciples to stay in Wudang Mountain to serve.

During the period, the shadow of the East Palace sent news through the flying pigeon, the three things that Bai Fan ordered last time had been completed, Emperor Yuan Shun, the emperor who was originally beaten back to the grassland and finally died of illness, was successfully assassinated by Tianying and Xuanying after several months of planning, although the shadow of the East Palace also suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the two were safe and sound. Emperor Yuan Shun died suddenly, and before he could leave a testament, the court immediately fell into chaos. The civil and military ministers each elected the prince who was related to their own interests to inherit the throne, including the quite capable King Ruyang, but no one could convince anyone, and the capital was full of tension and gunpowder, and there was a great tendency to start a war.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty has fallen into a period of decline and turmoil, the emperor has no successor, buried the hidden danger of the battle for the throne in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, and since then Mongolia has been in civil war, this time it is enough to give the Mongolian nobles a reason to go to war.

At this time, it is better for the Han people to be still, and it is not too late to wait for their own civil war to be defeated and then restarted. Yang Dingtian on the top of the light is indeed planned like this, his experience at this time is on the reintegration of the Ming Sect, within a few months, Yin Tianzheng led the Heavenly Eagle Sect to return to the Ming Sect, and the five scattered people returned to the top of the light, Fan Yao also secretly sent back the news, saying that he had lurked into the Ruyang Palace, only Xie Xun and Dai Qisi had no news.

The shadow of the earth has been lurking in the Shaolin Temple for many years, and the two schools of martial arts in the East Palace and Shaolin are actually the most unfathomable martial arts in the new generation of four shadows.

More than three months later, Zhang Sanfeng went out of the customs, Song Yuanqiao immediately told him about the visit of the patriarch of the Emei faction, Zhang Sanfeng thought of Guo Xiang, and felt a lot of emotion, and asked him to take him to see Bai Fan.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

On the edge of an empty and silent cliff on the top of Wudang Mountain, Bai Fan and Zhang Sanfeng stood opposite each other, and there was no one around, even Piaofu stood far away.

Looking at each other for a moment, the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in a nameless energy, becoming more and more silent, Bai Fan always smiled, Zhang Sanfeng was secretly surprised in his heart, although he himself was nearly ninety years old, his spirit was sparkling, but his face was getting older and older, but it was inevitable that the person in front of him was much older than himself, but he still looked so young, and his body was majestic, making people feel like he was in the abyss, but he couldn't feel a trace of true qi on his body, and he had really cultivated his internal strength to the realm of returning to the basics.

"I don't know what the reason for the predecessors to find the poor road, please make it clear."

Bai Fan suddenly stretched out his sword finger and pointed at a big stone more than ten zhang away, and said, "Zhang Zhenren, what do you think of my sword?" Immediately, a white sword qi shot out from his fingertips, and in an instant, it passed through a distance of more than ten zhang and stabbed on the boulder, and with a very slight friction sound, the sword qi actually shot through the boulder, leaving a small hole through.

Zhang Sanfeng looked puzzled, he had already sensed Bai Fan's internal strength to shake the past and the present, and the swordsmanship that shot out this sword qi was also very exquisite, which could be called the best in the world, and this sword alone was a rare opponent in the world, but he didn't understand why Bai Fan deliberately went to Wudang to use this sword to show himself, was it to demonstrate for Emei?

He immediately denied this idea, a grandmaster-level figure whose martial arts had reached the pinnacle would definitely not be so boring, he had a calm temperament, he did not speak rashly, and kept pondering in his heart.

Seeing this, Bai Fan smiled indifferently and said, "Zhang Zhenren, look at this sword again!" Then the fingers remained the same, still the index finger in the right hand and pointed at the big stone with a sword finger, and a golden sword qi shot out, piercing the small hole in Fang Cai, and shooting out the same piercing hole.

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes were condensed, his face was light and quiet, but he was amazed inexplicably in his heart, thinking of a possibility, he walked towards the big stone quickly, stared at the two small holes and looked carefully for a while, his face showed such an expression, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw that the lines on the edge of the small hole were very special, this time he couldn't help the shock in his heart, his face changed, he closed his eyes, and his fingers gently stroked the edge of the hole.

After a long time, Zhang Sanfeng opened his eyes and said: "The predecessors were able to create an unprecedented line of yin and yang cultivators, and the poor Dao admired it to the fullest, but what made the poor Dao even more amazed was the shape of these two sword qis, the invisible and fast sword qi could be controlled by the seniors into a spiral force, and the power was doubled, which was already close to the realm of the Dao." ”

Bai Fan shook his head and sighed: "One movement and one stillness are the way, one yin and one yang are the way, it is the way of Tai Chi, I accidentally comprehended the spiral strength, and I got a glimpse of the mystery of the way of Tai Chi, but it is always rare to find the true meaning." I heard that Zhang Zhenren retreated to comprehend Taijiquan and Taijijian, so he specially visited and came to ask for advice. ”

"I dare not be ashamed", although Zhang Sanfeng was curious about how Bai Fan knew that he was studying Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Boxing, but this was not the time to be entangled in these details, and the Tao of Tai Chi was also a lifelong martial arts pursuit for him, so he said: "'Wuji and Taiji. Tai Chi moves and generates yang, moving poles and stillness, static and generating yin, and static poles removing. One movement and one stillness, each other is its root, the yin is divided into yang, and the two instruments are standing. This sentence is the foundation of Tai Chi, poor Dao since comprehending the martial arts principle of overcoming rigidity with softness, practicing for decades, and finally comprehending Tai Chi. ”

Bai Fan nodded, he also understood the truth of this general outline, but he knew that it was even more difficult to apply it to martial arts, so he didn't speak, and waited for him to follow.

Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment and continued: "Tai Chi is mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders, can only be understood, not spoken. But the poor road has been sitting for a long time, and most of the Tai Chi swords and Tai Chi boxing have become a set, and they will be demonstrated to the seniors immediately. ”

After he finished speaking, he stood still, his hands drooped, the backs of his hands outward, his fingers were slightly relaxed, his feet were separated and parallel, and then his arms were slowly raised to his chest, his left arm was half ringed, his palm and face were facing into a yin palm, and his right palm was turned over to become a yang palm, and he said: "This is the starting style of Taijiquan." "I followed the performance of one move at a time, and called the names of the moves: Catching the Bird's Tail, Single Whip, Lifting the Seven Potentials, and Bright Wings of the White Crane..................

Bai Fan squinted his eyes and watched intently, only to see that his moves seemed to be slow and fast, sometimes dignified like a mountain, but light and agile like a feather, his hands were round and endless, each move contained the Tai Chi style of yin and yang changes, subtle and mysterious, after a while, he turned Tai Chi with both hands, and stood on the ground calmly.

Bai Fan closed his eyes and his mind was ethereal, and after a while, he opened his eyes and smiled at Zhang Sanfeng: "Zhang Zhenren, please continue the Taiji Sword." ”

Zhang Sanfeng also smiled and nodded, picked up a branch from the ground, pinched a sword trick in his left hand, formed a ring with both hands, and slowly raised it...... A move slowly came down, endlessly, so that when the last move came, the hands were drawn at the same time, and the sword returned to the original.

Bai Fan only felt that although the moves of this Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Boxing were different, they both belonged to Tai Chi, and they were not strong, and there were not many fixed moves at all, anyway, they were all kinds of large and small, positive and negative oblique and straight, endless circles.

Zhang Sanfeng stood still, smiled faintly, and said, "Senior, do you still need to practice again?" ”

Bai Fan already understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "No need", and then sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and recalled and realized in his mind.
