Maybe it's a distraction for two purposes, the first three times Tang Chen hasn't been able to find the operation law of this sense of qi. But when it came to the fourth time, Tang Chen slowly noticed that this qi seemed to be traveling from the whole body, and then when it reached the dantian position below the navel, it lingered for a long time.

"Is this really an internal strength?"

Tang Chen couldn't believe it, if the internal strength was so easy to cultivate, wouldn't the streets be full of martial arts masters? Thinking of this, Tang Chen kept his thoughts, and when he closed the momentum, there was indeed a stream of qi coming from the palm of his hand, and then slowly wrapped around his arm, dividing into two roads to go straight to the dantian. The qi of the left hand goes up and down first, passes over the top of the head, then passes through the cervical vertebrae, and then winds around the dantian, while the qi of the right hand passes through the chest and reaches the dantian.

After practicing Sun's Taijiquan, Tang Chen felt that all sleepiness had been swept away, and his whole person became energetic.

"Don Jr., do you feel a little bit?"

Chen Lao was "from here", and he could see Tang Chen's changes at a glance.

Tang Chen said in surprise: "It seems that there are two breaths of qi swimming in the body!"

"Wow, Master Tang, you're feeling angry so quickly?"

Wang Dongxu had practiced simplified Taijiquan and knew what Qi Qi represented, so he exclaimed with envy.

Tang Chen scratched his head and said, "Could this be some internal strength?"

Wang Dongxu didn't understand very well, let alone Qian Lao and Zeng Lao, and looked at Chen Lao together.

Chen Lao smiled dumbly and said, "What internal strength, Xiao Tang, you have watched too much martial arts, right?"

"Not internal strength?"

Tang Chen was also stunned, he didn't expect Old Chen to make such an evaluation.

"It's not internal strength!" Chen Lao said with certainty, "Qi is Qi sense, and it has a little connection with internal strength, but it doesn't mean that if you have a sense of qi, you will practice internal strength." Everyone can feel angry through boxing. Some people have a strong sense of popularity, and some people have to go through several years of uninterrupted practice before they can initially experience a sense of qi. I often see people who practice Tai Chi asking each other if they have any sense of qi. If there is, they are complacent, thinking that they have entered the samadhi of Taijiquan. If you don't have it, you will be anxious and anxious in your heart, or you will try to puff up your belly when practicing boxing, or you will breathe deep air with your mouth, which is very wrong.

True Qi is not the qi we breathe in our daily life, but after the boxing frame is correct, the internal and external parts of the boxing practitioner's body are combined, and a stream of energy generated in the body gives people a feeling similar to qi, so it is summarized by the word 'qi', and it can even be called the 'qi' of 'Dao Qi lasts forever'.

When practicing boxing, the calmer the mind, the more full this qi becomes. If you can use your heart to control the qi, this qi will rush around and be disordered. Therefore, whether it is a sense of qi, numbness, swelling, or attraction, they are just manifestations of the skin, and they should not be pursued excessively, but should be left to the test and seek neutrality with meditation. Otherwise, you will put the cart before the horse, or even go crazy. ”

Tang Chen was stunned: "No, it's so serious?"

Old Chen sighed and said, "Xiao Tang, you are a magic weapon, you are used to conducting qi and inducing qi, and it is understandable that you have a strong sense of qi. But you have to remember that practicing Tai Chi is more important than Shen Ju. When practicing boxing, the mind is highly concentrated and cannot be scattered. God is to keep it at the tip of the index finger or somewhere else in the body. In short, it should be in harmony with the operation of the fist pose. If the use of 'God' is inappropriate, or if the spirit is scattered and looking left and right, or if the spirit is publicized and vented, it is harmful and unhelpful. When the spirit is scattered, the spirit and qi will definitely not be compatible, and it is wishful thinking to train internal strength. If the spirit is outward, you will feel depressed after a long time, and you will not be able to practice internal strength. Only when the spirit is guarded, contained but not revealed, nourished in one, and practiced for a long time, can we practice internal strength. ”

Tang Chen smacked his tongue and said, "How long will it take?"

Chen Lao said with a smile: "Tai Chi has not gone out for ten years, and if you want to practice internal strength, it will take at least three or five years for those who are talented and intelligent." You only started practicing when you are so old, and it is estimated that you are like me, and you can expect to prolong your life, but if you want to train your internal strength, it is unlikely. Adults' minds are complicated, and it's very powerful to be able to hold on for a while without distractions. ”

Qian Lao and Zeng Lao also smiled bitterly, they have a deep understanding.

If they could leave all their worries behind, they wouldn't be so hard-working.

Wang Dongxu smiled bitterly: "Old Chen, this is really difficult to do!"

"Just stick to it. Chen Lao smiled, "If you practice more times, you will always gain something." At worst, you can practice like gymnastics, right?"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed.

Wang Dongxu smiled and asked: "Old Chen, I have practiced simplified Tai Chi for more than ten years, and I have practiced to the point that I feel paralyzed when I fight, isn't this internal strength?"

Chen Lao asked rhetorically, "What is internal strength?"

Wang Dongxu was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

"I saw it, I don't know what the internal strength is, so I guess randomly. Chen Lao earnestly taught, "What is internal strength? It is just the unity of 'spirit and qi'. With the refining of qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning them to their voids, and refining their voids and merging their ways, the gods and qi will become more and more coordinated and orderly, and the internal strength will gradually become pure.

Therefore, internal strength is a potential generated by the body when the body and mind are coordinated in an orderly manner to achieve neutralization. Many people who practice Tai Chi are not allowed to enter the door, either from the belly, or from the waist, or from the chest, or hum or ha, why?

It is all because the internal strength is silent, smellless, formless, and traceless, and there is no definite place. What agitates the lower abdomen, shakes the waist, and lifts the shoulders and hips is just a force, not an internal force.

All the force that cooperates with the breath and the unity of the whole body can be called strength, and the exhalation is the internal strength when relaxing, and the rotation of one relaxation is the other, and the inside and the outside are the roots of each other, so it can be seen that there is absolutely no external strength out of the internal strength, and there is no internal strength out of the external strength. The key is what kind of energy works. Those who use internal strength as strength are called internal boxing, and those who use external strength as strength are called external boxing. You all get the idea, right?"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and they were all in the clouds.

"This ...... How do you explain that?"

Chen Lao was a little anxious, and said after a long time: "Let's put it this way, the 'internal strength' of Taijiquan is a kind of 'whole strength'. That is to say, the internal strength of Taijiquan is emitted by the coordinated movement of the muscles of the whole body, its root is in the feet, the strength starts in the heels, dominates the waist, the shape is in the fingers, the hair is in the back, and the feet and legs and waist are completely integrated. So this force is extraordinary, it's huge. Secondly, this internal strength is also flexible and explosive. It is at the moment of the last moment, judging the situation, using it flexibly, grasping the dynamic changes of the other party, seizing the opportunity in my favor, and breaking out in an instant, it has unstoppable destructive power and lethality. This kind of internal strength is also concealed and penetrating. This kind of internal strength is not like external strength, a punch will make the opponent's face blue and swollen, which is observable, while the internal strength of Tai Chi is concealed and penetrating, and the opponent suffers serious internal injuries, not flesh injuries. ”
