Chapter 50: Enlightenment

This person looks no more than forty or fifty years old, but between his eyebrows, there seems to be a lot of vicissitudes. Standing under the silver glow of the clear moon, the sleeves flutter and dance with the wind, giving people a feeling of tranquility and tranquility, like the legendary fairy in the clouds who does not stick to the clothes. Falling into Su Ming's eyes, he only felt that this person was just standing here, as if he was fused with the huge Wudang Mountain behind him.

It was like a drop of water falling into the ocean. And this Taoist person stands here, as if he himself is a part of Wudang Mountain, as if a grass and a tree, a mountain and a stream, incomparably harmonious.

In Su Ming's heart, four words suddenly appeared.

Heaven and man are one.

The human body is a small world, and the outside of the body is a big world. If you want the two worlds to be one, without distinguishing from each other, the difficulty can be imagined. The person in front of him actually showed such a realm.

The Taoist looked at Su Ming, nodded and said, "You are young, your boxing skills are good, and your heart is also good, but it is not easy." ”

When Su Ming heard this, he didn't know what to say. He is a dignified master of strength, and when he falls into the mouth of this person, he only gets a good evaluation. However, thinking of this person's terrifying cultivation and realm, he had no choice but to say: "The predecessor has won the award." ”

The Taoist said: "After the fist method is superb, I will walk on the road of Jindan." The difficulty of Jindan has always been like ascending to the sky. Although you have been taught by a teacher, the road ahead is also difficult. I don't see the past and the present, I don't know how many masters of strength, and finally failed to hold Dan and went off and died? ”

When Su Ming heard this, he naturally nodded. The Republic of China was already the heyday of boxing, and it was rare to see a master of holding Dan. Su Ming had also heard that there were many masters at the peak of their strength, who failed when holding Dan, damaged their bodies, and were difficult to heal in the end.

The location of Bao Dan is an inch and a half below the navel. Once the Dan fails, the essence and blood go around, which is a fire, affecting the five internal organs, and it cannot be cured at all.

Although I think that although I have the lessons and lessons of my master Li Shuwen and my uncle Han Huachen, the road to holding Dan is still long, and I don't know where it is.

The Taoist's eyes looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and his voice came faintly: "Let me ask you, what are you practicing martial arts for?" ”

This person asked lightly, but it was like a flood bell Da Lu, sonorous and thought-provoking.

Su Ming was infected by his momentum and realm, and when he heard this question, everything he had experienced was surging like a wave on the sea in his mind.

He started standing at a very young age and spent a long time practicing boxing every day. I vaguely remember that there were many times when I was young and wanted to give up, but it was my father Su Changxing who scared me with a stick that made me persevere. Later, it slowly became a habit, and it became a must-do like eating and sleeping. Later, after the death of his father, boxing became a kind of thought and a kind of attachment for himself.

In addition, many scenes in movies and novels also appear in front of me. Old Man Jin's sentence "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people" still feels deafening. Master Gu Long's sentence "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves" explained the sadness of life. The scenes of flying eaves and walking on the walls, robbing the rich and helping the poor, punishing the rape and eliminating the evil, like a picture, flashed in front of him continuously.

I remembered Li Qinglian's chic and elegant "killing one person in ten steps, leaving no line for a thousand miles", Jia Dao's firm persistence of "sharpening a sword for ten years, and never trying the frost blade", and Jing Ke's pride and tragedy of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return".

And everything I have experienced in the past few years since I came to this world.

Countless scenes flashed, and finally froze in the scene where the endless starry sky and the transcendent system appeared for the first time in his mind.

Su Ming opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were bright, as if there were stars shining in them.

"I don't know why. But I practice martial arts, one is to strengthen the body, live forever, and transcend the heavens; The second is to fight with swords and hoes, punish evil and promote good, and get a thought to be accessible! ”

At this moment, the dust on Su Ming's mind seemed to be wiped clean all at once, and it bloomed with a crystal clear light.

The Taoist laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! What a transcendent one! What a thought! Then he said: "In this world, all living beings, no matter which path you take, you must have a thought, a dream, and then you can strengthen your mind, no matter what you encounter, you can go all the way." Whether it will succeed or not, or it is unknown, but if there is no such thought, without this dream, it will definitely not be achieved. ”

"The same is true for martial arts. Although it is said that when you reach the dark energy, you need to be in harmony with your heart and mind, but most people have the power of heart and mind, but they don't have this idea and dream. ”

To put it simply, there is emptiness and strength, and the mind and mind have been trained, but there is no goal or direction.

Su Ming chewed carefully in his heart, only to feel like an initiation.

The Taoist asked again, "Do you know the principles of fist intent and fist?" ”

Su Ming opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

The Taoist said leisurely: "Meaning is divine will, it is meaning." Just like in pictographic boxing, the tiger fist has the tiger's divine will, and the bear boxing is the bear's divine will, which is the initial divine will. One level higher, there is its own style and meaning in the boxing method. ”

"Reason is the truth, it is the idea. No matter which boxing method, there are the most basic principles and concepts in it. Tai Chi is named Tai Chi, and its concept is Tai Chi. Baguazhang is named after Bagua, and its philosophy is Bagua. Although Xingyi Fist is called Xingyi, but in its boxing method, there is also the concept of five elements, and the three-body pose contains the truth of the three talents of heaven, earth and man. ”

"Your roots are in Bajiquan, which is actually full of Taoist ideas and thoughts. For example, the eight-pole small frame is a practice method formed with the Liangyi pile as the frame and the Bagua diagram as the theoretical basis. ”

"The two rituals set the universe, and the universe moves and looks left and right to look forward to the state of the 'four elephants'. Qian is the father, Kun is the mother, and has six sons, and the Qianyao gives birth to Gen, Kan, and Zhen, and the Kun Yao gives birth to the exchange, leaves, and Xun. The two instruments change and give birth to six major openings: top, hold, single, lift, crotch, and winding. ”

When Su Ming heard this, his heart suddenly became clear. In fact, most of China's internal boxing is based on Taoist thought. When it comes to the advanced realm, not only the way of playing, but also the meaning and the law, there are similarities.

"The Spectrum of the Secret of Baji Boxing" contains: "Chaos is infinite, and Wuji movement gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants are divided into eight trigrams, and a set of four Lang wide fists are batched." Cupola cannon, closed elbow, and closed hands are also Liuhe, a set of six open fists, Liuhe guns, and Liuhe knives. Those who kneel, the north and south poles also. The stackers are also turning the sky. The waist step looks forward and backward. The Eight Extremes have no end in their return to the original."

Bajiquan is practiced to the extreme, paying attention to the tricks and styles are all fake, no moves and no styles are true, all laws are one, as for the invisible. He also said that "the formless is the treasure in my door, and the changes of yin and yang are mysterious", and the reason is that Taiji is attributed to Wuji.

Speaking of this, seeing that Su Ming seemed to have gained, the Taoist smiled: "Not bad! Not bad! At that moment, he twisted his waist again and slowly started to punch.

Su Ming watched intently, and saw that this person's boxing skills were both fast and slow, rigid and soft, walking like a dragon, sitting like a tiger, flashing like lightning, and hair like thunder. Looking at the concept of the meaning of its boxing method, it seems that it will be two instruments of yin and yang in one, containing the mystery of Tai Chi and the void and reality, and the outside of the two instruments of gossip. The patriarchal method is natural, the moves are peculiar, as fast as a storm, as fast as lightning, to rigid to soft, and unpredictable.

After a while, it suddenly became clear in my heart: "This is the secret Liangyi fist of Wudang Longmen!" ”

This person finished fighting all the way to the 36 styles of two yi fists, and his body did not stop, and he started another fist method. This method of boxing is somewhat similar to the Taijiquan that Su Ming has learned, but it is more ancient and simple. In the exercise, the form and the meaning are combined, the meaning and the qi are combined, the qi is combined with the spirit, and in the Liuhe, the god shape is wonderful, and the action is continuous, such as the flow of clouds, loose and natural; In the movement and stillness, it is like a needle hidden in the cotton, the rigid with the soft, the soft with the rigid, the rigid and the soft contain each other, and the concealment is not revealed; In the breath, it opens and closes freely, rises and falls naturally, deep and slender and even, and rests back to the roots.

Between the tossing and turning, there are thirteen kinds of general trends, such as the starting potential, holding the ball potential, the single thrust potential, the probing potential, the supporting potential, the fluttering potential, the bearing potential, the dividing potential, the cloud potential, the chemical potential, the double pushing potential, the downward potential, and the closing potential.

It is Wudang that is famous all over the world, and is even known as the mother of Taijiquan "Taiji Thirteen Styles"!

After the thirteen styles of Tai Chi, the Taoist still did not stop, and he practiced all the way to the boxing, with a total of eighteen tricks. The meaning of this way of boxing seems to be deeper, with the meaning and concept of Tai Chi being born in Wuji and Wuji being born in Tao. With the unity of heaven and man as the view, with the meaning of the extreme, the rotation of the earth is regarded as the function of the human body, the boxing formula contains 16 kinds of natural scenes such as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, fog, etc., 27 kinds of pulses such as ups and downs, delays, slippery, virtual and real, long and short, Hongwei, and slow, as well as 30 kinds of human body shapes such as head and neck, shoulders and elbows, wrists and hips, knees and legs, fingers, feet, waist and chest, etc., refining people with heaven, and then reaching the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

The Taoist practiced all the way, from Liangyi Boxing, to Tai Chi Thirteen Styles, and finally to Wuji Boxing, its meaning and concept have been continuously improved. The combination of the three turned out to be a set of boxing techniques that were complete to the extreme. Su Ming was fascinated, addicted to it, and couldn't extricate himself.

Wudang boxing method is profound and mysterious, and it is so far!

In a trance, I don't know how long it took, Su Ming suddenly woke up, but saw that the sky was already bright. On the horizon of the east, a round of red sun, from below the horizon, suddenly jumped, jumped out of the horizon, and the light spread all over the earth, shining on the world.

For a while, Su Ming only felt that the sky was high and the earth was wide, the blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining, and his body and mind were bright, crystal clear, and there was no impurities. Looking around on the left and right, there is still the shadow of a Taoist. When you look up, the Wudang Mountain is still cloudy and mist, quiet and natural, ethereal and dusty, and unforgettable.

Su Ming bowed to Wudang Mountain three times, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh with a happy heart.
