One Piece: Heart of the Sea

There was a crackling sound in the stove under the eaves, and the burning stove was also slightly red.

In addition to the sound of sparks beating on a snowy night, it is the sound of snow falling outside wrapped in the sea breeze.

The boy in the courtyard slowly poked his hand out, and quickly caught it, like a child's action of touching a fish: first slowly poke his hand into the water, so that the fish will not notice, and wait until the distance is close, and then suddenly stop it.

And Hawkeye also found that although Haven was boxing, his body was also walking in circles, and his steps kept sticking to the snow on the ground, looking cautious.

Haven's posture was not graceful, but between the movements were retracted and released, his whole body was swinging, and the strength of his body was dispersed to every muscle.

Feeling the snow fall on him, and then fall to the ground with his movements, Haven gradually got better, something he had never felt before in Tai Chi.

My thoughts couldn't help but drift back to before.

The Zhao family plays martial arts.

"Rabbit cubs, the master has let you learn Tai Chi since you were a child, do you know what Tai Chi is?" Uncle Zhao stood in front of a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old children.

"Tai Chi?

"That's what the old lady can only practice at that age, and we should fight straight punches.

"In the morning, you can see the old men doing Tai Chi in the park. "

...... ......

The uncle didn't say anything when he saw everyone's reactions, after all, they were all children who had never seen the world, and this age was when they were arrogant and didn't understand anything, so they didn't have to be embarrassed to scold them.

"Okay, let's be quiet. Uncle said, "Come over here." Uncle

pointed to the oldest and strongest boy in the group, who was already taller than Uncle.

"You catch me from behind. The uncle turned his back and gestured to the boy.

When the young man saw that the uncle had his back to him, he immediately grabbed his right shoulder as the uncle said.

The uncle turned around slightly, and his right elbow struck the young man's chest like a gun.

But because this is a trick, the uncle's elbow attack is very slow, which also gives the boy time to react, and his hands instinctively push forward, blocking the uncle's elbow blow.

But how did the boy know that when he just blocked his elbow, the uncle's forearm was like a whip, "snapping" down, and the palm slapped directly to his crotch.

This time it was urgent and fast, and the power ejected like a bullet, and before the boy could react, the uncle's palm had already touched his pants.

The boy was startled, only to feel a cool air rushing from the root down his spine to his brain, and he couldn't help but clamp his legs, and his whole body had goosebumps.

"Turn around, elbow blows, flirt. "Uncle Li grasped it very well, and as soon as he put his palm on it, he took it back without causing substantial damage.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and muttered with a strange face: "This is a form in Tai Chi?" Seeing the young

man's reaction, the uncle was very satisfied, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to go back.

"This trick is called 'skimming and beating' in Tai Chi. Although

the teenagers in the martial arts hall did not perform on stage, they were also frightened by the uncle's move, and no one expected that Tai Chi, which usually looks soft, could be like this.

Uncle began to explain the main point of this trick again.

"Boxing seems to be fierce and self-contained, in fact, it is evolved from the big gun, this move seems to be a mediocre turn, in fact, it has to play two strengths, elbow strikes like a gunshot thrust, and when others block, the arm swings down to hit the crotch.

"It's the same thing when we use a spear, when a shot is stabbed, the opponent uses a weapon to resist, and the head of the gun rebounds, but it can rely on the elasticity of the gun to knock down the opponent's weapon.

"So when using this trick 'skimming and hammering', you must also understand the meaning of gun skills.

"Look how hard I try!"

the uncle turned again, elbowed his forearm down, and the belt of his clothes was brought out with a "snap" like a whip in the air.

"Finally, the arm has to throw out this inch of strength, and finally integrate it into the qi in our qi refining technique, and Tai Chi can be regarded as practicing home.

This

trick is not only manifested in Tai Chi, but also in other martial arts.

"For example, the smashing hand in Tongjian Boxing, the Yin Palm in Bagua Boxing, and the Turning Ring Collapse Boxing in Xingyi Boxing..."

The snow in the courtyard was getting thicker and thicker, and strangely enough, although Haven's movements were slow, not as open and closed as ordinary boxing, but the snow in the area where he was active had also been solidified by him.

A circled area with a noticeable difference from the surrounding snow.

That's right, what Haiwen played in the snow was Tai Chi, not Master Ma's Tai Chi Baguazhang in order to win traffic, but the genuine Tai Chi of Grandmaster Yang Lu.

Hawkeye could see it, and he didn't know how long it took, Haven suddenly stopped moving, his hands slammed into his eyebrows, and then slowly pressed to his abdomen, stepped lightly on the ground with his left, and exhaled a long breath.

Hawkeye could see it clearly, and a long white gas shot out of Haiwen's mouth, like an air arrow.

He remembered that Haven had also exhaled a breath before he started, and that breath was ordinary qi, formed when it met cold air, and it quickly dissipated.

But the breath just now was different, although it was not particularly obvious, but Hawkeye believed in his eyes more, and after that breath came out of his mouth, although slowly, it still extended forward by more than two meters.

After finishing the ceremony, Haven symbolically shook the snow off his body and walked towards Hawkeye with a smile.

"Master, how is it?

Seeing Haiwen ask himself as if he was invited, Hawkeye couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, but his tone was still relatively cold.

"It's kind of interesting, I haven't seen it before. "

Hey, Master, this method is called Tai Chi. Haven said with a grin.

"Oh, this punch seems to be weak and unskilled, but if you look closely, you can find that there is a combination of rigidity and softness. Hawkeye didn't look at Haven, but at the area of the courtyard where Haven was boxing.

Haven didn't expect that just by watching Tai Chi once, Eagle Eye would be able to reveal the core of Tai Chi.

"Who did you learn this boxing technique from, you only learned the skin, presumably the person who can use this boxing technique is not an unknown person, maybe I still know.

Haven was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't say that he was good at playing young, and it was unrealistic to teach himself.

"Uh... I used to meet an old man when I was in Frevans, and when I was young, I only learned these furs from him. "

Oh, what's his name?" Hawkeye didn't doubt that the world was so big, there would always be some strange people.

"Ahh He said that he was an old man in the mountains, and his name was not to be discussed.

As he said this, Hawkeye glanced at Haven.

How could Hawkeye not see that there was something in Haven's words, but he didn't expose him.

"Master, it's not too early, I'll go and rest first, and you should rest early. With

that, Haven added two more pieces of wood to the stove and went back to his room.

On the other hand, Hawkeye didn't pay attention to Haven anymore, his eyes were staring at the area where Haven was boxing, and after not hearing Haven's footsteps, Hawkeye walked towards that area.

Fortunately, when Hawkeye saw the circular area, his eyes were glazed.

When Haven was boxing, his left and right feet never left the circle, and the snow in the circle was also down-to-earth by Haven, and what caught Mihawk's eyes was a Taiji diagram.

Hawkeye couldn't read the strange area, of course, but he could intuitively feel that the pattern was far from as simple as it seemed.

Hawkeye frowned and muttered,

"Tai Chi... Why..."

, next to that, like Haiwen, he adjusted his breathing, stepped flat on his feet, and compared Tai Chi with the memory just now.

On this side of Taijiquan, although Eagle Eye did not achieve smooth movements, sometimes he even had to stop and think about the movements, and even some movements had been forgotten.

So after one time, Hawkeye deduced it again.

Hawkeye knew that although there were many movements that were wrong, he also clearly felt that there was a strange feeling in his body, as if the domineering in his body was about to move.

Hawkeye stopped his whole body movements, looking at the messy footprints under his feet and the area next to Haven stepping out, the Tai Chi pattern was about to be covered by Xinxue.

Hawkeye groaned.

"Fate—"

He only felt that the door he had never seen before slowly opened to him.
