Chapter 24 Tai Chi
In the middle of the night, the moonlight in the sky is cool.

Chu Sheng sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and slowly withdrew his hands, taking a long breath of turbid air from his mouth, but he had finished tempering his internal force patiently, and circulated the internal force through the small veins all over his body to the ends of the branches of his body.

One of the "transformation" in Huajin is softness, which means it can be finely controlled.If the human body is regarded as a machine, then the bright energy is the single body of the machine; the dark energy penetrates into the different structural parts of the machine; the Huajin is the structure of every part of the machine , the more in-depth and subtle, the more skillful the manipulative energy will be.

And this is the beginning of energy transformation.Theoretically speaking, as long as anyone has not lost their innate energy, they can reach this point after all, it's just because practice makes perfect.But if you want to reach the peak of Huajin, you still need a certain amount of comprehension. It is difficult for many dull people to climb to the peak.

Bright energy is rigid and dark energy is sharp, so to transform energy requires softness, and it is required to practice dark energy to the softest and smoothest, which is called the extreme of softness and the end of dark energy.

A savvy person, who has entered the energy of transformation, can comprehend the mystery within a day, then escape to the peak, control the energy in the body meticulously, and move as he wants; At the foot of the mountain, there is no way to go up the mountain, and we can only look at the scenery on the top of the mountain and sigh.

This is a world of martial arts, and it is not like the kind of practice in the fantasy world that is always colorful and magnificent.

When Chu Sheng opened his eyes, he knew that he had just entered Huajin. Although he couldn't control it so skillfully, the first step was often the hardest.However, as long as this first step is taken, the next two steps, three steps, or even a hundred steps will not be a big problem.

Thinking in this way, he got out of bed and wanted to pour himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst, but he was holding the body of the pot with his palm, but it was still difficult to skillfully control the strength because the palm was the end of the arm.With a "click", the body of the porcelain pot was already crushed, and the warm water dripped along the fingers, converging on the table to form a small Heze.

I have just entered Huajin, but if I want to go further, I still need to train the strength to be soft and fine-tuned.

He stared blankly at the water stains on the table. Water was invisible, but it was the most tangible and smoothest.

It's just, but what kind of kung fu does it have? It is good at soft characters, like water.

Among the 44 moves classics in the door, none of them are like this, all of them are low-level boxing kung fu routines, otherwise the old man's evaluation value would not be so low.

Chu Sheng sighed distressedly, lying on the bed with his clothes all bored, staring at the moonlight outside the window in a daze, thinking about the past life for a while, thinking about the present life for a while, thinking about the sect for a while, and worrying about cultivation for a while.After a lot of trouble, I slowly fell into a dream under the blowing of the spring breeze at night.

Still entering the dreamlike place, Chu Sheng raised his eyes and looked at the three big characters of "He Shan Fang", and stood in front of the door for a long time before slowly moving and walking into the courtyard.

The courtyard still seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, and the facing pavilions still stood tall. Chu Sheng knew that there were things in it that countless martial arts people would be crazy about.He didn't know why he always dreamed here, let alone why the things taken out here could be brought back to reality, he seemed to know nothing about it.

In the courtyard, the slightly hunched old man was still standing in front of the stone table, holding a mouse-whisker pen in his hand, writing like a snake on the rice paper.Chu Sheng's arrival didn't make him raise his eyes. It wasn't until Chu Sheng put the fourteen volumes of secret books on the corner of the stone table that he raised his eyelids and looked at Chu Sheng. His old eyes were full of deep wisdom.

Chu Sheng thought about it, but took out another volume, and there were several large characters on the cover, but it was the sword manual of the Seven Styles of Turning Back Sword.

"170 point."

After finishing speaking plainly, the old man waved his hand, and a total of fifteen books were all flying around, like wandering butterflies, wandering into the pavilion, probably returning to their place just like before.

There are fourteen volumes with five points in each volume, and there are only one hundred points in the seven-style back-to-back sword manual alone, which also shows the value of the bottom of the box in the door.

However, Chu Sheng did not rush to the pavilion to choose the exchange. Instead, he stood there and thought for a moment. Then he couldn't help but clasped his fists and bowed and asked: "I dare to ask the old man, are there any delicate, light, flexible and lingering things in the world?" Practicing Jin Fist Technique? It's like water, fine and hard to open, soft and smooth around the fingers."

The old man raised his head and glanced at him for a while, and when Chu Sheng was restless, he saw the old man nodded and said calmly: "The naughty boy creates emptiness, and Wudang has Tai Chi."

As he said that, he pointed casually, and Chu Sheng looked in that direction, and saw two streamers of light flashing across the pavilion, and the two ancient books were flying around like naughty bees, and they scribbled in front of Chu Sheng. Separately, the former is "Kongmingquan", while the latter is "Wudang Taijiquan".

Chu Sheng could only smile helplessly when he first looked at the ancient books in the pavilion that day. He noticed these two ancient books, but they were both valuable.

It is truly a treasure mountain that cannot be found in and out of.

But. Chu Sheng stared at the last ancient book, and stood quietly for a moment, the memory of the previous life emerged, and he couldn't help feeling a little dry, so he said anxiously to the old man: "Let's see, senior, is this punch It is "Wudang Taijiquan."

As he spoke, he relaxed his mind, and regardless of whether the old man agreed or not, he stood upright with his feet together, his arms drooped naturally, his fingers slightly bent inward, and then he spread out his hands unhurriedly.

The left foot moved lightly, but at the same time bent the knees and pressed the palms, and raised the two arms forward until the hands were shoulder-width apart, with the palms facing down.Followed by pressing the knees and squatting down, gently press down with both palms until the elbows drop to the knees, then turn slightly to the right, shifting the center of gravity of the whole body to the right leg; at the same time, draw the right arm on the chest Bend forward, palm down, draw left hand in front of the chest to the right, and place it under the right hand, palm up, palms facing each other into a hugging shape, and then slowly push it out.

At the beginning, it was relatively unfamiliar, but gradually Chu Sheng gradually regained that sense of familiarity. His eyes were always focused on his moving palms, and he became more and more comfortable in moving, pushing and punching. The movements, punches, and feet are gradually coordinated, slowly but calmly.The steps under his feet are also taken from time to time, but they seem to be walking in the mud, they always come out flat, although there are some movements between the steps, but there are advances and retreats, in fact, they have never stepped out of the circle of the whole body.

This routine is the 48-style simplified Taijiquan that Chu Sheng often practiced with his grandfather in the park in his previous life. Tai Chi popularizes routines.On weekdays, some old people will do Tai Chi in the park. If there is any effect, it may enhance physical fitness and prevent diseases.

But if we talk about defeating the enemy, it's just a show. After all, the world is already peaceful, and the martial arts are forbidden, and the national art has long since lost its true effect.All kinds of boxing, swordsmanship, leg and foot killing skills have been eliminated, and only some ornamental displays or simple routines for strengthening the body are kept.There are also some national arts that have not undergone so-called "improvement", but those either only exist in the hands of a few people, or they have long since disappeared, and they are probably lost.

But Taijiquan has been developed several times. Although the 48-style simplified Taijiquan has washed away the lethal part, it is also a little bit of extension and development of different generations, but it retains the true meaning of Taiji.

Chu Sheng slowly demonstrated in front of the old man by starting with his hands and passing a style of "wild horse splitting his mane", advancing into "white crane spreading its wings", going to "hugging his knees and bending his steps", "hand waving a pipa" and so on.

The old man kept watching without any change in his eyes. After watching for a while, he waved his sleeves, and the two ancient books flew back to the pavilion again.He also shook his head, picked up his pen and practiced his handwriting again, and sighed quietly: "I only have the skin, but no muscles and bones; although the true meaning is preserved, the core is lost, and it is just better than nothing."

The core of martial arts moves is naturally murderous, and the 48-style simplified Tai Chi naturally loses this core.

But if the true meaning is there, then there is a foundation, and this is the true foundation of Tai Chi.

As he said that, he turned around and freed his left hand with the palm down, but he pressed it on Chu Sheng's seal.The feeling of falling from all directions hit, Chu Sheng suddenly woke up from the dream, his thoughts were chaotic, he got up straight and pushed open the door, and walked straight into the courtyard in a daze.

The mountain is cold, and there are not too many noises. The creaking sound of opening the door echoed for a long time in the dark night.

In the cool moonlight, Chu Sheng stood still in the courtyard as if he was still in a dream, with his feet upright and his arms drooping naturally, but it was the 48 simplified Tai Chi starting moves he had practiced in his dream.

At this moment, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and an old servant in a coat walked in steadily in the night, but he didn't look like an old man at all.

However, he never thought that Chu Sheng was standing in the middle of the courtyard, his old face was a little flustered for a moment, but he calmed down soon, and he walked forward to speak.

But halfway through the walk, he saw that Chu Sheng bent his knees and pressed his palms at the same time, raised his arms forward, and moved his left foot lightly at the same time, and the moves were rehearsed immediately.

Reverse curling of the arms, grasping the sparrow's tail, and single whip. The moves are gradually advanced.

Chu Sheng's feeling at the moment is hazy, he knows what he is doing, but he doesn't feel very clear, as if he is always separated by a screen window, his consciousness is half awake but half chaotic.

Chu Sheng fell into it and practiced boxing wholeheartedly. The irritability and urgent thoughts in his heart also dissipated in the fists and kicks that were slowly pushed out, and the barrier disappeared silently.Occasionally, there was a breeze in the mountain forest, and there was a rustling sound of branches and leaves. Chu Sheng ignored it, and moved out in an orderly manner with his fists and feet.

The moonlight is cool and cool, and the young man is practicing boxing under the moonlight.

Yunshou, Gao Tanma, right kick
During the practice of the moves over and over again, Chu Sheng's own internal force seemed to turn into flowing water, soft and invisible, flowing in the palm of his hand and feet with the fist.

Standing loosely, clenching his fists empty-handedly, Chu Sheng was doing 48 Simplified Tai Chi poses slowly, gradually practicing, he only felt as if he was in the vortex of the bottom of the sea, engulfed by invisible forces inside his body Just like that, strong pressure poured into every flesh, blood and pore of his skin.

The pressure sometimes shrouded, sometimes dissipated without a trace, Chu Sheng's boxing steps were gradually disrupted, and the whole person's fists did not become fists, and his moves did not become moves.

"The breath follows the punch!"

A voice suddenly sounded like bells and thunder, and Chu Sheng's mind immediately became clear. As the fists he tried to maintain opened and closed, the pores of his whole body also opened and closed. Opening releases pressure and exhales, closing brings together Breathe in.

Shuangfeng ear piercing, left foot kick, independent posture, shuttle, sea needle, flash arm
The evolution of the moves that continued to advance was also integrated into the breath pattern of opening and closing breathing, and mist and hot air gradually rose from Chu Sheng's body, and ordinary people would naturally have this phenomenon after strenuous exercise.However, the pace of Chu Sheng's moves was always unhurried, but the mist was evenly steamed out.

It's like a water tank filled with water. Every time you shake the tank, the water inside will sway and hit the tank wall.The pressure and squeezing force from the inside that Chu Sheng felt was exactly caused by the internal strength in his body.Different from bright energy and dark energy, transformed energy is like water, flowing invisible; the human body is like a vat, so it cleanses the whole body.On the surface of Chu Sheng's body, there are layers of sweat oozing out. If he wipes it, it will definitely be very greasy. This is the dirt that is breathed out from the pores on the body according to the opening and closing patterns of the moves.

The so-called bright energy washes the bones, dark energy washes the tendons, and transforms energy to wash the marrow.

The old servant watched from the side, with a smile on his old face, walked around Chu Sheng with slow steps, and entered a low room in the courtyard.

Chu Sheng's rehearsal moves are still going on, but they are no longer as casual as they were at the beginning, but seem to have some mysterious rhythm, natural but solemn.

move block beat, close like closed, cross hands
During the closing of the last few movements, Chu Sheng's whole body was rubbing, and the energy flowed in the body, and it was gathered to make every end of the stretched body.

Finally, it is the end of the trend.

However, Chu Sheng turned the crossed hands raised to the chest and separated them, slowly lowered his arms and lowered his hands, and gently retracted the soles of his feet to step on the ground, his whole body couldn't help shaking.Zhuang Ziyun: "The breath of a real person is at the heel", but this is the critical point. At this time, the breath will go straight to the heel, the whole body will shake, and the spiritual energy is already in the upper body, and it is no longer rigid and difficult to control finely.

He let out a long breath suddenly, the breath was like a long arrow of air, and it slowly dissipated in the moonlight after it was exhausted.

At this moment, Chu Sheng could feel that the internal energy of his whole body was connected to each other. The bones, tendons, and marrow were washed by the energy, and the inside and outside became extremely sensitive. in every inch.

Chu Sheng closed his eyes and felt it carefully, as if he heard the muffled cry of a bullfrog in the peristalsis of the large and small intestines; as if he heard the sound of his heart beating like a sharp stone falling into water; as if he could hear the blood gurgling in his blood vessels Flowing sound.This is the vigor entering all parts of the body, and he can also perceive the subtleties, from the inside to the outside, all are clear.

This is the state of the peak of strength.
