Chapter 9 The Thirteen Potentials of Tai Chi
Early in the morning, Hu Fei walked along the highway and went to the provincial capital.
When I arrived in the provincial capital, I found the Tianxinghu community, and was stopped by the community security guard at the entrance of the community, Hu Fei had also been a security guard before, knowing that this line of work was not easy, he took out a box of cigarettes from his body and scattered them to a few security guards standing guard.
"Master, help me contact Miss Tang, the owner of Building XX, I am her friend. Hu Fei smiled.
The security master quickly contacted Tang Zichen, and opened the door for Hu Fei, Hu Fei entered the community, and after a while, he saw Wang Chao trotting over.
"Wang Chao has been working hard lately, and now I'm afraid I won't be able to even make a move under you. Hu Fei looked at Wang Chao's burly figure and said with a sigh.
Wang Chao smiled shyly, "Where is it, Brother Hu praised it." ”
followed Wang Chao to Tang Zichen's villa, after all, Hu Fei is a person who has seen a big scene, and he will not be startled like Wang Chao when he first met. In all fairness, although Tang Zichen's villa is luxurious, it is still far from luxury.
After passing through the living room, I came to Tang Zichen's practice ground, the place is very big, of course, it can't be compared with the martial arts arena in the Jianghu sect in the martial arts world, several large water tanks are placed in the center of the room, there are a lot of heavy sacks hanging on the top, and the Yin and Yang Taiji diagram is drawn on the ground, it seems that this is where Wang Chao has been exercising during this time, he is afraid that he has fallen a lot here.
Tang Zichen was dressed in a practice uniform and was standing in front waiting for the two of them.
"Sister Tang, I'm here. Hu Fei smiled.
At this time, of course, Tang Zichen would not say nonsense such as "you shouldn't come" and "why did you come", this is neither a Gu Long novel nor a Qiong Yao novel.
"Well, here we are. Tang Zichen nodded at Hu Fei.
She led Hu Fei to a basketball-sized metal sphere and pointed, "Do you know what this is?"
Hu Fei poked out two fingers and knocked them, put his fingers back in front of his nose and sniffed, "It should be lead." ”
Hu Fei stretched out his left hand to scoop up the lead ball, but he couldn't move it, "No, it can't be so heavy with lead alone, there is a saying in Dandao that 'carry lead and mercury', this is mercury wrapped in lead." ”
Wang Chao was stupid on the side, he always thought that this was just an iron ball.
So, Xiao Wang, you are still too young, you don't know the dirtiness of the adult world, and your observation is not careful enough, just going out like this is also the life of working and squeezing people, it is not enough to have high martial arts, you must have enough knowledge, otherwise no matter how powerful it is, it will just be a knife.
"Well, this is a ball of lead and mercury that I borrowed from Taoist terminology, and your next task is to push it. Tang Zichen said seriously to Hu Fei, "When you can push it up, you can move on to the next step." ”
This was a big surprise to Hu Fei, originally he thought that he would be like Wang Chao, first practice three-body posture and swimming footwork, and use this kind of way to promote his own progress, and then come to this kind of thing, and said in surprise, "I don't need to practice three-body posture and footwork." ”
Tang Zichen shook his head: "It's not that I don't want you to practice, it's that your skeleton has been fixed, and it's already very difficult to feel your backbone through the three-body pose, and your potential is not as huge as Wang Chao, if you continue to practice footwork, you won't make much progress, you can only feel the position of each section of the spine bone from the actual force." ”
"Do you know the thirteen potentials of Tai Chi?" Tang Zichen looked at Hu Fei's sudden realization, and continued to ask.
"I just heard that Wang Zongyue in his article "Taijiquan Interpretation of Names" clarified the overall content of the words of the thirteen potentials from a macro perspective. "Interpretation" said: Taijiquan - a long fist, also known as the thirteen potentials. Long boxer: Like the Yangtze River, it is gushing endlessly. Thirteen potentials: squeezing, squeezing, pressing, picking, squeezing, elbowing, leaning, advancing, retreating, looking, and defending. Picking, squeezing, squeezing, pressing, that is, kan, leaving, shaking, and exchanging the four squares; picking, squeezing, elbowing, leaning, that is, the four oblique angles of Qian, Kun, Gen, and Xun, this is the gossip. Advance, retreat, care, hope, determination, that is, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, these are the five elements. In short, it is called "thirteen potentials".
"Thirteen potentials are not moves, but thirteen strengths. But I don't know exactly how to fight or exert force. Hu Fei said the results he found on the Internet.
"In layman's terms, the thirteen potentials are the strength that can be sent out by the thirteen movements, simply put, close to the fight, follow the hair, press the person and do not let him move, give him a claw when it is convenient, use the elbow to pestle him when the distance is short, and hit him with his body if it doesn't work......" Tang Zichen said with a focused expression, not caring at all about how undisciplined the words were.
Wang Chao was practicing swimming on the side, and when he heard this, he almost fell off the water tank.
Xiao Wang's classmates are forgetful, don't you remember a few months ago, when learning "monkeys stealing peaches", your vision of Taijiquan has been completely shattered, Yang Luchan's "squatting with the left hand to catch the bird, and the right hand to grab the sand on the face".
Hu Fei thinks it makes sense, but how to turn these ways of beating people into strength.
Tang Zichen came to the shot put and half-squatted down, "I'll hit it again, you watch carefully." After speaking, Tang Zichen slapped the shot put with one palm, she didn't use much force, but the shot put turned up, Tang Zichen circled around the half-human high stone trough, but his hands were not confined to the palm slap or with his fingers and claws or punches or elbows, and after a while, the lead ball turned faster and faster, until it flew out of the stone trough, Tang Zichen sometimes held the shot put with one hand, sometimes with both hands.
"See, you can try. Tang Zichen put the lead ball back into the stone trough and said to Hu Fei.
"Okay, I'll try. Hu Feiyue was eager to try.
Walking to the stone trough, Hu Fei tied up his horse and pushed the shot put with all his strength, but the shot put turned, but also threw Hu Fei out, Hu Fei suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell on his stomach.
"It's not okay to be like you, you have to use strength, not force, although strength and force are strength, but the force must be fast, fierce and urgent, and the strength must be slow, calm and steady. Tang Zichen looked at Hu Fei and shook his head.
Hu Fei stood up, "In short, what we often say, 'Don't use dead force, but use skill' is just that. ”
Tang Zichen nodded: "Don't just talk about it, just do it in your hands." ”
Hu Fei nodded, and took another step, this time he was not in a hurry, his hands were condensed, and he slowly pushed out, and the lead ball rotated slightly.
In this way, in the practice room, Wang Chao practiced his body on the water tank, Hu Fei pushed the lead ball in front of the stone trough, Tang Zichen watched them from the side, pointing out from time to time, or giving a helping hand, after the training, he had to give the two of them acupuncture and massage to relax their muscles so that they could carry out the training later.
Hu Fei stayed in Tang Zichen's house, and the rented house was also refunded, and in addition to writing a chapter of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" every day, he pushed the shot put. I don't know how many times I've fallen these days, how many times I've been smashed and squeezed my hands, but I haven't given up.
The days are flying in a full rhythm, soon the Spring Festival has passed, the Lantern Festival has also passed, Wang Chao has started school, Wang Chao is on vacation again, it seems that it is just a moment, Hu Fei did not perceive the time, just screamed with the shot put. It wasn't until the day Wang Chao moved in again that he found out that he had been in this world for nearly half a year.
At night, Hu Fei dreamed, dreamed of a big fat man wearing a Taoist robe, with big ears and round eyes, and a beard like a halberd, just like the shot put that competed with him every day.
Hu Fei, who woke up, felt that his whole body was weak, and his head hurt as if he had been hammered. After washing up and changing clothes, Hu Fei came to the practice ground.
Tang Zichen was teaching Wang Chaoxing Yiquan, Hu Fei ignored them, walked straight to the stone trough, slapped one palm on the lead ball, the lead ball whirred up, Hu Fei around the stone trough, a set of Tai Chi thirteen potentials finished, the shot put turned faster and faster, and finally broke away from the stone trough and rose up, Hu Fei turned sideways, slapped both palms on the lead ball, the lead ball suddenly flew out, straight towards the back of Tang Zichen's head.
Tang Zichen didn't have to turn around at all, stretched out one hand, and as soon as he fished it out with his backhand, he scooped the lead ball in his hand, and said to Wang Chao, who looked stupid: "This is the monkey-shaped fist in the twelve shapes of Xingyi - the monkey fishing for the moon." ”
She turned around and looked at Hu Fei, "Congratulations, you've finally finished practicing." She held the shot put with one hand, and she didn't see how to use it, there was a dark energy in her hand, and the shot put flew upward, and landed in the stone trough in front of Hu Fei, waking up Hu Fei, who was looking at her hands in a daze.
"I've finally practiced!" Hu Fei shouted excitedly, quite a bit of Fan Jinzhong's posture, "I see, 'He is strong by him, the breeze blows the hills, he is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river' It is so, it is like this!"
"Only manpower from me, without my power from the truth of man, you finally understand. Tang Zichen smiled at Hu Fei.
"Old Tang, Xiao Wang, I met Zhang Sanfeng last night to give me a dream to pass on my skills. Hu Fei was too excited, and he couldn't care about the ugly faces of the two, and said without fear.
"I think about it day and dream about it at night. Tang Zichen also knew the mood of this breakthrough, but he didn't mind much, "After half a year of exercise, your physical fitness has already reached this standard, but you just didn't think about the method of luck." ”
"Sister Tang, don't you be so boring, in the future, I will become a generation of grandmasters, and when others ask me how I embarked on the road of martial arts, I will say that Zhang Sanfeng taught me to pass on his skills, don't you think it is very legendary, and there is no artistic conception at all when you say this. Hu Fei calmed down and said with a mocking face.
"I don't think so. Anyway, you can't become a grandmaster. "It's not good, no one will believe it anyway. Tang Zichen and Wang Chao said together.
"Alas, you two are really a match made in heaven, and the destruction of the atmosphere is so compatible. Hu Fei helplessly teased the two.
"Since you have a certain level of attainment, you have a certain attainment, so let's practice Xingyi Quan with us. Tang Zichen said to Hu Fei.
