Chapter 25 Diamond Zen
His original life path suddenly had a fork in the road, which led him to a different kind of life.
He doesn’t know what the future will look like, but one thing is certain, it will be much more exciting than the original path.
He now has two tasks in mind,
Learn real Tai Chi,
A punch weighs a thousand kilograms,
Fortunately, this task is not mandatory and has no restrictions.
He can follow his own plan. After all, life is not about tasks, tasks are only a small part of life.
“Wu Qinxi and Tai Chi are the key points, followed by walking bricks and Xingyiquan.”
Writing and drawing in a notebook, making summaries and plans, reading books for a while in the evening, and then watching videos for a while.
I accidentally saw an old movie in which a water tank was used to practice Tai Chi.
“You can also try this.” Wang Anxin said, you can take the time to buy a large water tank and put it in the yard.
“Not only can you practice Tai Chi, but you can also practice walking on the edge of the cylinder. It is also a way to practice Qinggong.”
The methods of walking bricks, walking the rim of a vat, and walking baskets are different, but the principles are the same.
When Wang An got up early the next morning, he went out after having a hearty breakfast, walked around outside and then started practicing.
Performing Wu Qin Xi in the morning, this exercise relaxes the muscles and dredges meridians, making the whole body feel warm and qi and blood surging.
“Wu Qinxi experience +5.”
After the sweat on his body had dried, he rode his bicycle to the city. After traveling for more than ten miles, he didn't feel tired at all, but he was just a little sweaty.
He came to the swimming pool, and unexpectedly found that the swimming pool was closed today, so he went to the martial arts gym again. Li Xinzhu went to Hecheng. There was no one to accompany him to sparring, so he could still practice on his own.
There was a sandbag in the martial arts gym. After practicing for a while, he used the sandbag to practice with his hands. The sandbag was shaken by the punch, and he used Tai Chi techniques to either block it or push it away, constantly feeling the changes in power.
When he returned to his residence in the afternoon, he went to the market to see the large water tanks. Finally, he chose a suitable one to buy, placed it in the yard, filled it with water, and started trying it eagerly.
Draw circles in the water with both arms, slowly looking for a feeling.
Tai Chi focuses on the circle.
Hum, you can actually feel a special spiral force in the turning water. But this is not as mysterious as what is shown in TV and movies.
There is also a special feeling. Although it is winter and the weather is getting colder, he is always warm.
Unlike before, my hands and feet would get cold in winter.
Even if you just wear autumn clothes and a coat outside, you won't feel cold now. This is a sign of strong qi and blood throughout the body.
It is said in the novel that when kung fu is practiced to a certain level, it can withstand the cold and heat. This is because the bodies of those martial arts masters are strong enough and have strong enough self-regulation capabilities to withstand severe cold and heat.
“You tried a special practice method and seemed to have realized something?”
After practicing Tai Chi in the water tank, another prompt appeared.
While resting, the cell phone placed aside rang.
“Hey, Xiao An, do you remember what day it is today?” A kind old man’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Grandma, how are you?”
"Okay, okay, today is your birthday. Remember to eat something good and take good care of yourself when you are outside. You must remember! Cough, cough, cough."
“Grandma, why are you coughing? Do you have a cold?” Wang An asked hurriedly.
“It’s okay, my throat feels uncomfortable.”
Wang An chatted with the two old men for a long time before hanging up the phone.
His eyes were slightly moist.
He has not seen his parents since he was five years old. He was raised by his grandmother and grandfather. In order to support his growth, the two old men put him through hardships in school.
Originally I hoped to establish myself in Hu'an, buy a house, and bring the two old people here to enjoy themselves.
“I haven’t been back for a long time, and it’s getting cold. I have to go back and take a look.”
At night, I cooked a few side dishes, a pot of wine, and a cake.
Drink by yourself and celebrate your birthday alone.
Alone.
He has become accustomed to it in the past few years.
Early the next morning, Wang An went to the mall and bought some warm clothes for the two elderly people, some delicious food, and some cold medicine from the pharmacy.
The elderly are frugal at home and are reluctant to eat or wear clothes. When they have a headache or a cold, they do not go to the clinic to get medicine and just rely on force.
Then he went to the antique street in Hu'an and wanted to buy two jade pendants for two old people. They both said that jade nourishes people.
He visited several stores and fell in love with two pieces of jade pendants. Each piece cost 5,600 yuan and was said to be fine Hetian jade.
Wang An doesn’t know much about jade, but it seems that the prices between these stores are not much different. So I chose Shengbaozhai, the most famous restaurant in Hu'an.
After discussing the price, the two jade pendants totaled 10,000 yuan.
After paying, I was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something.
“Do you have any ancient boxing manual?”
“The ancient boxing manual is available. Sir, please wait a moment.”
After a while, another staff member came out with a box and came to Wang An. He opened the box and found a yellowed and broken ancient book. On the cover, you could see several ancient words - Vajra Zen. .
The man carefully took it out and handed it to Wang An.
“Sir, do you think this book meets your requirements?”
Wang An took it and opened it. There was nothing on the cover. The handwritten scriptures inside were not very beautiful.
The first part of this ancient book is a Buddhist Diamond Sutra, and the second half is a set of palm techniques, with text and diagrams, but the diagrams are incomplete.
The Vajra Zen Palm is incomplete and has only three moves.
King Kong beats the case,
Jingang Tui Mountain,
Toppling mountains and seas,
There are texts and diagrams, and there are thin black lines on each of the little figures.
"How much is this book?"
"Sir, you are really discerning. This is an ancient book from the Song Dynasty. It is very collectible. The price of this book is fifty-five thousand."
Jade and Antiques is not a salesperson. The person in charge is a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
“Fifty-five thousand for such a shabby book?”
“Although this ancient book is broken, it is likely to be an only copy and is of great collection value.”
Wang An doesn’t understand jade, let alone antiques, and this book doesn’t look like jade, so he can’t go to other stores to compare it.
He suddenly rang out a joke that a person had seen before. When encountering an antique that he did not understand, he could subtract a zero from the quoted price.
“Five thousand and five.” Wang An quoted directly after thinking for a while.
"Sir, this price is really good, why don't you add more?" the man said with a smile.
“Five thousand six.”
“Tsk, oh, it’s a deal, we’ll sell it to you reluctantly!” The man looked like he was reluctant to give up.
“Huh?!” Wang An was stunned when he heard this. "I was careless. Did I miss a zero?"
