Chapter 19 Tai Chi
The wind blows harder and harder near the stone cave in Zhang Sanfeng's retreat, forming a wind whirlwind, wrapping the cave.
This lasted for a long time, and the wind slowly dripped. After a long time, the cave door opened wide, and a dark figure walked out, with a foul smell all over his body.
Taixuan would not make any noise if he had known that the true qi would liquefy into true energy and would wash the meridians and remove all the toxins and impurities in the body, but Song Yuanqiao and others did not know that this would happen, and they were all surprised.
Zhang Sanfeng ran quickly to Song Yuanqiao and the others. He was about to speak but heard Yu Lianzhou say, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled wryly and said, "I don't expect that this true qi can be liquefied into true energy and can cut off the meridians and marrow. All the toxins and dirt in my body over the past century have been discharged. It's really stinking. Lianzhou, I sent my disciples to make some water to clean it up for my master. What is this?"
Yu Lianzhou, Song Yuanqiao and others hurriedly asked a few Taoist boys to get water and came to bathe and change clothes for Zhang Sanfeng. Taixuan and others were in the quiet room where Zhang Sanfeng lived.
I saw that the quiet room was just a bed and a table, with a wooden sword hanging on the wall, and a futon hanging on the wall. There was a Tao word hanging on the wall in front of the futon. There was nothing else but that, and it was extremely simple. Taixuan and others had to sit on Zhang Sanfeng's bed.
After about half an hour, Zhang Sanfeng and Shanshan came late, but she saw Zhang Sanfeng's spirits were full of energy, and one-fifth of her head turned black. Her face was rosy and as if she was a childish face, her long beard and three feet tall with a fairy style. She was such a Taoist master.
Before Taixuan could speak, Yang Guo said strangely: "Extremely, great, Old Dao Zhang, how did you practice martial arts? The more you practice, the younger you become, the younger you become. If this continues, you will be younger than your disciple."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "Senior Yang made fun of me. What's this? If you are like Senior Taixuan, a person who is over 100 years old will have achieved the Taoist fruit. Besides, Senior Yang is much older than Senior Taixuan? It's not bad to say that he is a grandfather and grandson!"
However, Yang Guo did not expect that Zhang Sanfeng would take the other side of his own way and look at him, returning these many jokes to himself, and it was not easy to interrupt him for a while.
But Zhang Sanfeng walked to Taixuan, made a Taoist ritual with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Senior Taixuan, for your advice."
Taixuan sat on the bed and didn't get up. His right hand shook, and a true energy surged out and pushed Zhang Sanfeng up. Zhang Sanfeng wanted to force himself to try, but he didn't expect that the huge force brought by this true energy could not resist, and he was still pushed up. He was amazed at Taixuan for a moment.
Tai Xuan said: "Fellow Taoist, you are polite. Now that your true qi has liquefied into true energy, you have entered the path of the great Taoist path, but for me, you are nothing. It is all your achievements in practicing Taoism over the years. You must know that my Tai Chi is incomplete. I have tried to deduce it myself, but there is no great progress. When you see it, you will get the great Tao, which is also your fate."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "After that being said, it was finally enlightened by his predecessors."
Tai Xuan said: "You have been in seclusion for more than half a month, what are the results?"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled proudly and said, "I have always wanted to create a martial art that can protect my 100-year foundation in Wudang. I have also had many experiences over the years. Wudang Mian Palm and Baguazhang are the prototypes. I saw Taixuan that day, you practiced the incomplete Tai Chi. All my experiences in the Tai Chi Yin and Yang are like a river returning to the sea, and I have all integrated them."
"I went into seclusion for eighteen days, and first seven days created Tai Chi skills, which was the internal power of refining qi and nourishing the body. In the seven days, I created a set of Tai Chi fist and a Tai Chi sword, which was the method of subduing demons by using it. Then I used my internal power of the century-old Pure Yang Wuji Gong to practice Tai Chi skills, and successfully liquefied the true qi into the true essence. However, this true energy was only a few drops, but the whole body was empty. I wanted to fill the dantian but I didn't know how long it would take to do it."
Tai Xuan smiled and said, "You are so greedy. If I hadn't had a whim and opened the acupoints to store innate true qi for the dantian, I must be like you now. Do you know that I have used the innate true qi stored in the acupoints to store the dantian Qi sea full of true energy, then it can be considered ten dantians!"
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned when he heard this and murmured: "Open the acupoints, turn them into dantian, store internal energy, and use them for other purposes? Not bad, it will change naturally in quantity and qualitatively, and the true qi will change continuously, but I didn't expect it."
Yang Guo, Song Yuanqiao and others listened to Taixuan and Zhang Sanfeng's narration but couldn't get a single word. He felt unfathomable as they heard what they said.
Tai Xuan said: "Fellow Dao Sanfeng, I have a kind of heartless love, I don't know if it can be fulfilled."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "Senior, why should you be so polite? I am inspired by my predecessor, and I should repay you. What's more, my predecessor passed on the Nine Yangs Sutra to save his life. I don't need to say that I know how to do this."
After saying that, Zhang Sanfeng wanted to walk out of the room. When he walked at the door, he said, "Please move your steps a little." He said to Song Yuanqiao and others, "Yuanqiao, ask someone to carry Daiyan over."
Taixuan and others walked out of the room and saw Zhang Sanfeng standing in the center of the courtyard outside the house, with his hands hanging down and his eyes slightly closed.
Soon, Yu Daiyan was brought over. When Zhang Sanfeng saw it, he said, "I have been practicing Taoism for a hundred years and have a lot of experience in Tai Chi Yin and Yang. A few days ago, I finally integrated it with the enlightenment of Tai Xuan Senior and created this Tai Chi sword. My two martial arts are completely different from the martial arts of the original martial arts. They emphasize the use of stillness to control movement and later control people."
"I have great expectations for this martial arts. I will accept you seven disciples in my life. Unfortunately, Cuishan died young, and you six brothers are left. Among you six, the one with the highest understanding is Lianzhou, and the rest are almost the same. I just hope that you can practice this Tai Chi sword well and inherit my mantle. In the future, if one of you and six others can pass it on to future generations, my name in Wudang will be celebrated forever."
After saying that, Zhang Sanfeng relaxed his fingers slightly, his feet spread parallel to his shoulders, and then slowly lifted his arms to his chest, half of his left arm, his palm and faced him into Yin Palm, and his right palm turned over Chengyang Palm, and said, "This is the starting hand gesture of Tai Chi." He followed one move after another, and called out the name of the move: the tail of the bird, a single whip, the lifting of the hand, the white crane shone its wings, the knees hooked, the pipa, the progress of moving the hammer like a seal, the cross hand, the tiger returns to the mountain...
Taixuan and others saw Zhang Sanfeng's hands rolling around, each move contained Tai Chi changes in yin and yang, and the subtle and mysterious. This function that Zhang Sanfeng said made Wudang famous for his eternal words.
In this way, there has been a stick of incense. Zhang Sanfeng held a Tai Chi circle with both hands, slowly stopped his skills and stood up, and said, "The trick of this set of boxing is to 'empty spirit and force it, to thrust the chest and back, to loosen the waist and lower the hips, to sink the shoulders and elbows'. It is purely based on the mind, and it is most taboo to use force. The unity of body and spirit is the key to this boxing technique."
After Professor Zhang Sanfeng finished, he asked the sixth son of Wudang, "How much do you know?"
Song Yuanqiao and others were embarrassed and said, "I am ashamed of my disciples, only 30% or 40%."
Zhang Sanfeng asked, "Lianzhou, where are you?"
Yu Lianzhou said: "I am ashamed of my disciples, only 50% or 60%."
Zhang Sanfeng sighed and said, "It's not bad, you can practice well! If Cuishan is here, he should be able to understand 80% or 90%."
Song Yuanqiao and others were ashamed of their skin.
Zhang Sanfeng asked again: "Senior Taixuan, Senior Yang, how about I do this boxing technique?"
Yang Guo said: "I owe you my favor today and I have learned all your boxing skills."
Tai Xuan said: "No more or less, just right, I'm even more curious about the Tai Chi skill."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "Haha, Senior Yang is indeed well-known. No wonder he was able to create the True Dragon Supreme Achievement. It is my honor to learn it. What kind of favors are not human? Senior Taixuan, let me go in! Let them think about it for a moment." As Zhang Sanfeng said that, he reached out to invite Taixuan into his quiet room.
Taixuan knew that Zhang Sanfeng wanted to pass on his Tai Chi skills. There were many people outside and a few Taoist children were here. It was really inconvenient, so he was not pretentious and went into a quiet room with Zhang Sanfeng.
