Chapter 17: Danger Strikes

Zhou Yunzhen entered the park with the flow of people.

A burst of fresh and pure air came to your face.

Walking on the wide parkway, the shade on both sides is full of greenery.

Tall palm plants can be found everywhere, and many palm trees are entwined from head to tail with vines, branches and branches, which are connected to each other, and the branches are staggered.

The more he walked in, the more beautiful the scenery became, the maple forests along the way were dyed, a drunken red, strange flowers and plants, caves and strange stones, etc., all came into view, making people dizzy.

"It's beautiful!" Zhou Yunzhen sighed, he understood why Dong Jinshan, the director of the supervision office, let him come here.

Here you can let yourself enter the situation of forgetting things and me, indulging in nature, indulging in strange mountains and rivers.

The ancients traveled under the forest, isn't that what it said?

A large green meadow appeared in the distance.

There are many elderly people on the grass who are concentrating on playing "Tai Chi", and they are very serious about one move and one style.

Tai Chi is a kind of gentle abdominal movement with movement and stillness, just like dance, it is actually a martial art.

Taijiquan is a sport created by the ancients according to the unity of heaven and man, yin and yang, and it guides qi with intention to achieve the purpose of harmonizing qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, and cultivating temperament.

Long-term practice of Tai Chi can make people's blood vessels full, breathe smoothly, enhance the function of the five internal organs, improve the body's immunity, promote metabolism, and achieve the effect of health preservation.

This sport is especially suitable for the elderly.

Zhou Yunzhen saw an old man dressed in a white practice uniform, practicing Tai Chi in a hurry.

The old man's movements were slow and skillful, like a spring breeze raising willows, like flowing clouds and water, exhaling and absorbing, loosening shoulders and elbows, rising, wild horses splitting their manes, and then a white crane flashed its wings, spread out its right hand, and slowly closed its momentum.

The whole process is done slowly and naturally.

Looking at this old man who was like a fairy, Zhou Yunzhen knew that this old man was actually a Tai Chi master.

After practicing Tai Chi, the old man walked slowly to an octagonal pavilion next to the lawn, where there were stone tables and benches for pedestrians to rest and play cards.

Next to the octagonal pavilion is a large green bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest grows luxuriantly.

Zhou Yunzhen stepped forward and bowed deeply to the old man, "Uncle, your kung fu is extraordinary, you must be a generation of masters outside the world." ”

Listening to the words of the young man in front of him, the old man was not surprised, but said lightly: "Son, I have not escaped from the world, I have not escaped from the world, I am just a layman in the mortal world. Not to mention a master outside the world. ”

"I practice Tai Chi, but it's just to nourish the liver and protect the eyes and delay aging."

"Uncle, there is a reluctant request below, I don't know if it's okay?" An idea came to Zhou Yunzhen's heart.

However, the old man seemed to have penetrated his internal organs and said something, "My set of Tai Chi pays attention to gentle movements, natural, the unity of nature and man, suitable for calm and introverted middle-aged and elderly practice, you are strong-blooded, there is no lack of impetuousness unique to young people, even impulsive, can not calm down." ”

"Otherwise, rigidity and softness are mutually restrained, yin and yang are out of balance, and improper practice will hurt the body and be counterproductive."

"Is it so powerful?" Zhou Yunzhen stammered.

"Of course, there are many people who are in good health, why do their bodies deteriorate after practicing Tai Chi? In the end, he became a wasted person. ”

"Inappropriate?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not so much that the method is inappropriate, but that it is due to an impatient personality, which violates the taboo of Tai Chi." ”

"The sun and the moon pass through the sky, the rivers and the earth travel to the earth, and they are all the law. Taoism is natural. ”

"So now? You're not the time yet. ”

Zhou Yunzhen bowed again, "The old man is a philosopher, listening to the old man's words, it is better to read a book for ten years, and he understands it later." ”

At this moment, the old man stretched his waist and took out a chess box from a bag placed on a stone bench.

"Come on, come on, how about killing a plate?"

Zhou Yunzhen just wanted to answer modestly, saying that he didn't know how to do it.

But he always found that the old man did not speak to him at all.

It was said to a slightly younger and energetic old man who came down from the bamboo forest area on the hillside.

"Okay, old ......" Seeing that someone was there, he immediately changed his words: "Old Yang, I am unfortunately honored and willing to accompany him." ”

The person who came said kind words, and strode to the Octagonal Pavilion.

The two of them set up chess, the Chu River and the Han realm are clearly distinguished, and the big war is about to break out.

Elder Yang glanced at Zhou Yunzhen, "What about you, young man?" ”

"I'm willing to accompany the last seat and watch the two old men play against each other."

"Good!" Yang Lao said with a beard, "As the saying goes, a true gentleman who doesn't speak when watching chess, don't point fingers." ”

"Follow the teachings. I just don't know half a pass, half a bucket of water, how can I guide my predecessors? Kill me. ”

Elder Yang said no more.

The two sides went to war.

All of a sudden, the two sides held their breath and fought fiercely on the chessboard, you came and went, swords and swords, and they couldn't hold each other.

Zhou Yunzhen was shocked by the super high skills of the two, and they were really masters, and they were indistinguishable from each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

Suddenly, Zhou Yunzhen, who was watching chess, had his sixth sense, goosebumps all over his body, and he sensed that there was some danger around him.

Zhou Yunzhen looked at the bamboo forest on the slope and felt where the danger came from.

But this is a sea of bamboo, and the bamboo forest swayed and danced in the wind, undulating like waves.

I really can't see what danger lurks inside, or what dangerous beasts lurk inside.

Zhou Yunzhen's eyes stared at the ground again, and the ground was green and grassy, and there was nothing unusual.

"Looks like I'm too careful."

Zhou Yunzhen laughed at himself.

His hunch was indeed not wrong, at this moment, a snake had already snaked out of the center of the bamboo forest at a very fast speed, and entered the lawn.

This is a venomous snake that often haunts the area, its whole body is green and bamboo, the same color as the bamboo forest and lawn, because it is mixed with bamboo and green grass, it is difficult to distinguish at hand.

It crept silently into the lawn, blending in with its surroundings and lurking.

Waiting for an opportunity, and then unleash the fatal blow.

At this time, the octagonal pavilion was shrouded in a terrifying aura of death, but the two players who had no distractions killed in the dark, and no one noticed the situation.

Zhou Yunzhen sensed that danger was coming, but he couldn't find that the danger would come from that direction.

Seeing that the two old men who were concentrating were still fighting, Zhou Yunzhen couldn't care so much, and he shouted loudly: "Two old men, you will stop fighting for the time being. ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Lao raised his head, slightly dissatisfied.

Zhou Yunzhen's shout disturbed his train of thought and disrupted his steps.

Yang Lao continued: "I said that watching chess and not saying a word is a true gentleman, you, young man, are still impetuous. ”

Zhou Yunzhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Yang, I feel that danger is coming step by step. Be careful, or you'll regret it. ”
