Xun Yuhe continued: "Now I will demonstrate the entire set of Tai Chi swordsmanship to you, you try to memorize as much as you can, how much you can remember." Li Xiangru nodded "yes", stepped aside, and stood solemnly.

Xun Yuhe took five or six steps forward, opened the momentum, only to see his right leg slightly bent, his left leg took half a step forward, the toes were dotted, the left hand pinched the sword duel, and the right hand sword pointed forward, which was the starting gesture of Tai Chi swordsmanship.

Li Xiangru saw that he made steady moves and stood like a mountain, and couldn't help but secretly cheer. Xun Yuhe's long sword shook slightly, the sword body trembled, and then practiced one move at a time. Li Xiangru saw that his moves were very slow, but his moves were coherent and did not wear any fancy embellishments. It seems that the tricks are mediocre, and there is no subtlety and mystery, and there is a lot of confusion in my heart.

I only heard Xun Yuhe say while practicing: "The way of swordsmanship, subtle and far-reaching, with fist as the sect, the law comes from the fist, there is a sword in the fist, and the fist becomes the sword method." The sword is in the heavenly spirit, its root is in the heart, the meaning is mysterious, the thinking is connected for thousands of years, and it gallops vertically and horizontally. All must be the law of heaven, the law of the earth, the law of the way, and the law of nature. Li Xiangru knew that this was the key to swordsmanship, so he secretly memorized it with his heart.

After a few more moves, Xun Yuhe's swordsmanship went from mediocre to gradually getting better, Li Xiangru saw that the swords and swords were connected, interlocking, endless, but listening to the sword wind, it pierced the skin of his cheeks faintly painful, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

I also heard Xun Yuhe say: "The Dharma Heaven is as light as a wisp of clouds, round as a moon soul and falling, and as bright as a thunderbolt and lightning." Those who are in the law and land are quiet and majestic like lofty mountains, vast and boundless, lingering like green mountains. For those who are in the Dharma, Yin and Yang are the body, the Qiankun is divided, the virtual and the real are the foundation, the movement and the static are the use, the movement and the static are smooth, the phase and the cause and effect, the obedience and the adversity are the nature, the prosperity is the rebellion, and the mediocrity is the moderation, the rigidity and softness are the quality, the strength and weakness are the constant, and the body is too harmonious. He was longitudinal and condensed, moving and quiet, practicing to the depths, Li Xiangru saw his hands dancing, and then compared and compared.

Xun Yuhe's sword light is swirling, not long to shroud people in the middle, do not see their people, light such as a feather to the ground, heavy such as thunder and ten thousand blows, the surrounding trees for the sword energy attack, the branches and leaves made a rustling and shaking sound, not long, the leaves have fallen, spread all over the ground.

I only heard Xun Yuhe shouting: "The sword has a trend, there is a disobedience, the law is used in a cycle, the beginning is a sword, from a sword, accumulating tens of millions of swords, and finally a sword." The heart is bubbling, but it is not controllable. Refreshing and detached, the placket is sprinkled, the air veins are coherent, the strength is continuous, and the continuity belongs to each other. Those who are natural in law learn from the law, conform to nature, and the law is natural, and all laws are born. ”

When the word "shengsheng" was spoken, he made a closing momentum, and the sword move came to an abrupt end. Li Xiangru was dazzled and fascinated, and it took a long time to come to his senses. I was deeply impressed by the subtlety and mystery of Tai Chi swordsmanship.

Xun Yuhe took a breath and said to Li Xiangru: "Whether it is Taijiquan or Taijijian, its essence is that the spirit is coherent, the virtual and the real are born together, interlocking, like the Yangtze River is endless, if the surging river, rolling endlessly, one life two, two to three, three to all things, the cycle does not stop, never stop." Its power is revealed little by little, and it is getting stronger and stronger. When performing, if you are a humble gentleman, the outside is suppressed and the inside is open, the outside is weak and the inside is strong, and the inside and outside complement each other, so that you are invincible. ”

Xun Yuhe's practice and teaching, is really the core essence of Tai Chi swordsmanship, the combination of words and deeds, are swordsmanship and soul, Li Xiangru nodded frequently, benefited a lot.

Xun Yuhe talked for a long time, and finally asked Li Xiangru: "How much do you remember?" Li Xiangru said: "As the master said, Tai Chi swordsmanship is really a rare sword in the world, at first glance it seems simple and untransformed, but in fact it is ever-changing, infinitely powerful, and the disciple is dull, only remembering four or five moves." ”

Xun Yuhe bowed his head slightly, and said: "This swordsmanship is too mysterious, it is not difficult to remember the sword moves, but the most important thing is the changes contained in each move and each style. Fortunately, you have a deep foundation in Taijiquan, and you can get twice the result with half the effort when you practice it. ”

Xun Yuhe said: "The power of the Tai Chi sword technique lies in the use of qi to resist the sword, and the will and qi are connected, which can produce infinite power. Speaking of this, his toes were a little on the ground, rising from the ground, and he was in mid-air, shouting to Li Xiangru: "Look at it." His body is like a big bird, in the air turned over two beautiful circles, the sword in his hand to a thick cypress tree straight to the past, he used the Tai Chi swordsmanship in the thirty-fourth move "whimsical", but saw a white light shoot, the sword did not arrive, the sword qi shot out, slashed at the branch of the big cypress, the sword light everywhere, heard a loud sound, the two branches of the cypress tree with a thick bowl mouth were stabbed by the sword qi, and the decadence was broken from the break, the horn fell to the ground, smashed on the ground, and smashed the dust on the ground. Li Xiangru couldn't hold his tongue from the sidelines, and applauded again and again.

Xun Yuhe's figure fell to the ground, stood with his sword in his hand, and said to Li Xiangru: "I have been practicing Tai Chi swordsmanship for more than five years, but I have just gotten a glimpse of the doorway. The way of martial arts is endless, there is no end, how high the realm can be, how deep the cultivation can be, it all depends on the individual. My swordsmanship at this time is only 30% of your master's. You are gifted and intelligent, and you have a high level of understanding, and at a young age, you have profound internal skills, and you don't know what the reason is. If you practice and meditate well, your future achievements will be higher than mine, and you may also catch up with your master. Li Xiangru said: "How dare the disciple be compared with the master, but I will do my best to learn the Tai Chi swordsmanship as soon as possible." Xun Yuhe smiled and said, "That's very good." Let's get started!"

At that moment, he started teaching from the first trick, and in the morning, Li Xiangru learned five tricks. Next, Li Xiangru went to the broken jade platform every day to practice Tai Chi swordsmanship, learned in the morning, studied and figured out by himself in the afternoon, and went back to Xun Yuhe in the evening to ask Xun Yuhe for advice if he didn't understand, only Xun Yuhe knew Tai Chi swordsmanship in the whole Wudang, and even Yufeng Dao Chang would not, Li Xiangru put forward the doubts and incomprehensions in the practice to Xun Yuhe, and Xun Yuhe could not explain all the tricks and explain them clearly. Li Xiangru couldn't, so he had to figure it out for himself. It took a whole month to learn all 55 moves.

As mentioned earlier, the wonder of Tai Chi swordsmanship also lies in its inner charm, and the mystery contained in each move and style seems to be plain, but in fact there are infinite mysteries inside. Li Xiangru is the first to learn, but he memorizes the sword moves, and as for the profundity and mystery in between, it needs to be discovered and comprehended a little bit. How to turn the sword into one, so that it can hurt people invisibly and kill the enemy without a shadow, but it is not something that can be done in a moment.

On this day, Li Xiangru was still practicing on the broken jade platform, and when he practiced the twenty-first move "Milk Swallow Throwing into the Forest", he felt that his breath was not smooth and he felt blocked. There are three styles of this move, and each style has five follow-ups, and Li Xiangru has practiced dozens of times, but he always feels that he can't grasp the essentials. I practiced immediately, stopped and thought, practiced and thought for a long time, and then practiced, immersed in it, so unconsciously practiced until the sky was dark, and when I felt that I couldn't see clearly, I screamed out "ouch", returned to reality, and immediately felt empty in my stomach, remembering that I hadn't eaten all day, so I pulled out my legs and ran to Wudang Guanyu.

Running halfway, I suddenly saw two figures walking towards the grove next to them, one in front of the other, a few feet apart, as if they were arguing, Li Xiangru heard this voice as if it was Qingtong and Gu Mufeng, and sighed in his heart: "What are the two of them doing here at night?" Thinking of the past, he hesitated slightly, and quietly followed behind, wanting to find out.
