In winter, after the autumn frost, day by day colder, northerners feel that the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is not cold, in fact, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River will also be cold, but it is different from the dry and cold in the winter in the north, here is wet and cold, and the cold can get into the bones.

Jiaxing is a good place, located in the south of the Yangtze River, but not particularly crowded, the pace of life is far from as fast as the first-tier cities, it is not easy to make people feel tired, after the winter, everything is unhurried, but also a little comfortable.

In the east of Jiaxing, there is a mansion, which is a very luxurious classical villa, the villa is antique, most of the houses are made of wood, the delicate mortise and tenon joints are interlocking, and the toughness is no less than cement.

The owner of this mansion is surnamed He, called He Chijing, is the leading figure in Jiaxing, rich and rich, sunk in the business sea for many years, generous, often spend a lot of money in order to make friends, last time in Hangzhou Gu Jiajie's auction, on the high price of the auction Ruyi pot and luminous cup to Shi Youen, the two have since formed a friendship.

Since the last time he went out to Hangzhou and came back, He Chijing has never left his house, and in the past few months, he has been at home with peace of mind, accompanying his daughter He Jing, who has just returned from abroad.

In the early morning of this day, He Chi mirrored his usual image and accompanied his daughter to the courtyard, and the father and daughter played Tai Chi together. He Chijing doesn't know martial arts, this Tai Chi was also taught to him by his daughter, it is just a simple use for physical fitness, and there is no other use.

After He Chijing's daughter came back from abroad, He Chijing found a master for her daughter, and this set of Tai Chi was taught to her by her daughter's master.

He Jing, who was doing tai chi, unconsciously glanced away, and saw a man wearing a Taoist robe coming, he immediately stopped his movements and shouted happily, "Master!"

When He Chijing saw the visitor, he also put away his posture and greeted the visitor: "Good morning, Daoist Shi." ”

The man in the robe is Shi Youen, and there is a Mingxin monk behind him who just went to the kitchen to get half a roast chicken.

That day, after Shi Youen left the Wudang Mountain Hidden Courtyard, he was not in a good mood because of the death of the master, he walked all the way to the north, and walked for several days in a row, drinking pot after pot of wine in the Ruyi pot, drunk all day long, if it wasn't for a woman who came up to find the two, he would have walked aimlessly.

The woman who was looking for the two was the woman who followed He Chijing to participate in the auction, and she was He Chijing's secretary. She said to Shi Youen that He Chijing wanted to invite the two of them to stay in the house for a few days and ask for some tips on how to maintain health and strengthen the body.

Shi Youen hung a ruyi pot and a luminous cup on his waist, knowing that he had a short hand, so he came to Jiaxing with the woman, but he didn't expect that he would live for a few days, and suddenly it became a long-term residence for several months.

At first, Shi Youen was afraid of He Chijing's generous gift, and thought that he would accept He Jing as a nominal disciple and teach her some ways to strengthen her body. But after he began to teach martial arts, Shi Youen discovered that this He Jing turned out to be a rare martial arts wizard, and the more he taught, the more frightened he became, this talent was far above his own talent.

Therefore, from a nominal disciple who wanted to fool casually, He Jing suddenly became a beloved disciple who gave high hopes to Shi Youen.

Looking at Shi Youen who came over, He Jing jumped closer, grabbed Master's arm, and said, "Master, I have already practiced all the Qinglian swordsmanship, is there anything else good to teach me?"

He Chijing looked at his baby daughter's smug expression, and his heart was very happy, he didn't expect that his daughter was a rare martial arts talent.

Shi Youen looked at He Wei in a good mood and asked, "How much have you learned in the past few months?"

He Jing touched his little face, frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "From the Four Flat Technique, to the Thirty-six Flying Flower Sword Technique, the Sword Control Technique, and the current Qinglian Sword Technique, there are a total of four. ”

Shi Youen walked to the stone bench not far away, sat down and picked up the Ruyi pot, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, He Chijing and his daughter followed, and the monk Mingxin only cared about bowing his head to eat chicken, and also sat on the stone bench.

"It's only been three months, and you're making progress so fast, a lot faster than I did back then. Shi Youen is very satisfied with He Wei's practice, and now He Wei's growth rate is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand miles a day.

After finishing speaking, Shi Youen turned his head to look at Mingxin, and said with a smile: "Monk, it's almost the same as you back then, right?"

Monk Mingxin had just finished gnawing half a chicken, his mouth was full of oil, and he looked up vaguely and said: "When I practiced martial arts in the temple, I only used four years for one hundred and eight stunts, and the speed was similar to He Jing's, but I practiced too fast, the foundation was not stable, the internal force was not deep enough, and the true qi was not abundant enough. ”

He Chijing looked at his beloved daughter He Jing, her eyes were joyful, and she sighed that her daughter was talented in martial arts, but after listening to Mingxin's words, she asked worriedly: "Master Mingxin, if you say so, although that little girl has thoroughly understood the swordsmanship taught by Shi Daochang, she still can't use great power, right?"

"Not bad. Monk Mingxin stood up, not too dirty, and directly wiped his greasy mouth with his sleeve, and continued: "Those who practice martial arts rely on the accumulation of many years, and the cultivation in the long years is the most important. The move is only its shape, the internal force is the true meaning, although He Wei's comprehension of the move is far better than others, but the consolidation of internal force and true qi is not just a few months to reach the master. ”

He Chijing looked at Shi Youen with an inquiring gaze, Shi Youen smiled back and hummed softly.

He Wei was dissatisfied: "Then what should I do, is there any way to consolidate the cultivation of internal strength?"

Shi Youen stood up, looked at He Xun and replied, "I already thought of this when I took you as an apprentice, so teaching your Tai Chi is the law of consolidating the true qi of the meridians. Taijiquan is not a profound martial arts, but Wudang Taiji is different from the Taiji of some folk associations. True Qi is the same for everyone, from small to large, after the eight veins of the Qi Jing are opened, the true qi can gradually take shape, becoming more and more vigorous day by day. ”

"What does Master mean by that when I practice Tai Chi every day, am I practicing True Qi?" He Wei asked Shi Youen with a wink.

Shi Youen nodded, "Well, that's the case, it's just that the true qi won't be developed quickly, it can only be accumulated bit by bit." ”

He Wei frowned and thought about it, looked at his father He Chijing, and asked: "If you can practice true qi in Taijiquan that you taught me, then my father also accompanies me to practice it every day, can he also practice true qi?"

Shi Youen shook his head and denied He Ying's idea.

"In fact, everyone has true qi in their body, but it is just a matter of more or less, some people's true qi is just a few threads, hidden in the meridians, and they can't transform in their lifetime. Although your father practiced the same Tai Chi as you, he is too old to practice True Qi before the age of twenty-five, and no matter how much he practices it in the future, he will not be able to practice it. The true qi in the human body is like a swimming snake, which needs to be guided by exercises to dredge into the major meridians, from the slightest wisp to the endless flow like a great river. ”

After a pause, the monk Mingxin took over Shi Youen's words and said: "Some people's true qi can't be guided in their lifetime, and their true qi is like those few angry gases that hang people's breath, and some people's anger is only enough to support themselves to live like normal people, and there is no point in carving, because the embryo can only be as big." ”

Mingxin may have eaten a little, so he got up and walked a few steps before he continued, "But it is different for people who are suitable for practicing martial arts, the embryo of the true qi in the body of a person who practices martial arts will take root and sprout like a seed, and grow into a towering tree." If your father is suitable for martial arts, although he did not step into martial arts before the age of twenty-five, the true qi in his body will also make him far more physique-superior to others, but now looking at your father like this, Wenwen is weak and weak, and it is difficult to lift fifty catties, which shows that the true qi embryo in his body is not good...."

After speaking, Monk Mingxin laughed, as if he was joking, not to amuse everyone, but to amuse himself. Shi Youen glared at Mingxin unhappily and said, "You bald donkey, you eat and drink other people's sour, you are really not ashamed!"

"Haha. Monk Mingxin laughed, looked at He Chijing and said: "Boss He, don't take it to heart, I'm a straightforward person, I can say whatever I want, I'm really embarrassed...."

He Jing pouted, not knowing if it was because Mingxin said that his father was not good, or because his father was unhappy because he couldn't practice true qi. He Chijing is nothing, although what Monk Mingxin said was a bit shocking, but he was not angry, and said: "It's okay, I've lived half my life, I've been busy doing business, and I haven't thought about anything else, let alone practicing martial arts." Now I can practice the Tai Chi taught by Shi Dao Chang to the little girl to maintain her health, and I am already satisfied. ”

He Jing slumped his face and said, "I'm your daughter, why do I have the talent to practice martial arts, but you don't? Our genes are the same!"

He Chijing looked at his innocent daughter and said with a smile: "Then who knows, maybe it's your mother's talent that has been inherited from you." ”

"Does my mother know martial arts?" He Wei asked.

He Chijing nodded and said, "It is precisely because of your mother's wishes that I climbed up to Daoist Shi and asked him to accept you as an apprentice." ”

"Ah, could it be that my mother wants me to practice martial arts?" He Wei looked at He Chijing in surprise, her mother had left very early, and she couldn't even remember her mother's appearance.

"We'll talk about it later. He Chijing didn't answer He Jing, patted her forehead, and asked her to go aside and continue to play Tai Chi.

With questions and dissatisfaction, He Wei obediently walked to the center of the courtyard, a position quite far away from the three of them, and honestly continued to play Tai Chi. Since the master said that this Tai Chi can consolidate the true qi, then I should practice it well, although I can't figure out how to consolidate it, but what the master said is always right.

The three of them sat on the stone bench, looking at the standard posture, and He Wei, who was moving slowly, started Tai Chi again. He Jing, who is almost twenty years old, has already come out of the water, and her figure is exquisite, and in a few years, she will only look more bumpy and convex, and she will definitely be a first-class beauty in the future. He Chijing saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, everyone wants their child to be beautiful.

After being silent for a while, He Chijing withdrew his gaze from his daughter and said, "In the past few months, thank you for the guidance of the little girl. ”

Shi Youen shook his head, "Since I accepted her as an apprentice, and she also sincerely calls me Master, then I will naturally teach her, but I have been having a question in the past few months." ”

"Oh, what do you have any questions?" asked He Chijing.

Shi Youen glanced at He Chijing lightly, rubbed his fingers on the Ruyi pot and moonlight cup, and said softly: "There are no less than twenty masters hidden in your mansion, and a few of them are not under me and Mingxin, I am curious, you have such good martial arts resources, why do you have to let He Jing worship me as a teacher?"

Mingxin didn't care about what Shi Youen said, as if he hadn't heard it, he still watched He Jing play Tai Chi seriously, He Chijing was not surprised, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the Taoist knows everything." ”

Shi Youen said again: "Not only do I know that there are so many things hidden, but I also know that your secretary, the woman who took me and Mingxin here, is also a master, and her cultivation is unfathomable, maybe it is not impossible to be above me and Mingxin." ”
