Chapter 2956 2958 [Tai Chi]
After Zhang Songxi came back, Zhang Sanfeng taught Taijiquan and Taijijian to his disciples.
"My set of Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword is completely different from the way of martial arts in Zilai. It emphasizes static braking and late strike." He explained while demonstrating.
His hands are drooping, the backs of his hands are outward, his fingers are slightly relaxed, his feet are separated and parallel, and then his arms are slowly raised to his chest, his left arm is half-circled, his palm and face are turned into yin palms, and his right palm is turned over into yang palms, saying: " This is the starting form of Tai Chi."
Followed the moves one by one, and called out the names of the moves: grabbing the tail of the sparrow, single whip, raising the hand, white crane spreading its wings, cuddling knees and hooking steps, waving the pipa, moving forward and moving the hammer, closing like closing , cross hands, hug the tiger back to the mountain...
All the disciples watched intently, but except for Xiang Nan, the Six Heroes of Wudang had a little difficulty understanding this boxing technique.
I feel that this boxing is slow and slow, how can it fight against others, isn't it a joke? !
But knowing that this Tai Chi Kungfu has been developed by the master for more than ten years, I guess it must be very important. The reason why I can't understand it is not the master's fault, but because I am stupid and don't understand it, so I still watch it seriously.
About the meal time, Zhang Sanfeng stepped forward to scout the horse, stepped up to grab the tail of the sparrow, practiced Tai Chi with a single whip, and stood there calmly.
He embraced a Tai Chi circle with both hands, and said: "The secret of this boxing technique is the sixteen characters 'Xu Ling lifts strength, chest straightens back, loose waist hangs hips, sinks shoulders and falls elbows'. The most taboo is to use force. The unity of form and spirit is the gist of this boxing method."
Now explain it in detail.
Everyone listened carefully.
I just feel that this boxing technique is extremely mysterious, difficult and unfathomable, and it is really impossible to comprehend. Therefore, I just firmly remember the teachings of the master, and I will think about it in detail in the future.
Only Xiang Nan has long been able to know Taijiquan, so when listening to it, it reflects and compares with what he has realized, and immediately gains a lot.
Compared with Zhang Sanfeng's Taijiquan, Xiang Nan's Taijiquan comprehends can be said to be the same way, but with the same goal.
Although the moves and changes are slightly different, the core is the same. They all use slow to fight fast, use static to brake, wait for work with leisure, and defeat the strong with the weak.
However, Zhang Sanfeng's Taijiquan is more focused on "defense", while Xiang Nan's Taijiquan is more inclined to "attack".
This is a difference in personal style, and there is no distinction between high and low strengths.
…
"Did you all understand?" Zhang Sanfeng said to the disciples after finishing teaching.
All the disciples answered one after another.
People like Yu Lianzhou and Zhang Songxi have comprehended the most, and they can comprehend about 50%. But Song Yuanqiao, Yu Daiyan, Yin Liting, and Mo Shenggu only comprehended 30-40%.
"That's all. This kind of martial arts has never existed before. It is naturally difficult for you to learn, so you should understand it slowly." Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, not surprised.
This martial art emphasizes "stop with stillness, strike later", which is contrary to the mainstream martial arts principle of "strike first, strike later", so it is naturally more difficult to accept.
That is, the martial arts learned by the Wudang Seven Heroes before also all imply the martial arts principle of "controlling an attack later and stopping with static", so the first time you see it, you can still comprehend 30 to 40% of it.
If it is another sect, no matter how smart a disciple is, it is not bad if he can comprehend 10% of Taijiquan when he sees Tai Chi for the first time.
"Grand Master, the child has already understood." Xiang Nan said.
"Oh, good, good, since that's the case, let's join hands." Zhang Sanfeng said with a satisfied smile after hearing this.
Xiang Nan nodded, and came to Zhang Sanfeng, "Grand Master, please enlighten me."
Zhang Sanfeng circled his hands and blocked with his fists. Every move implies the change of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, which is extremely mysterious.
And Xiang Nan is not simple. His attainments in Taijiquan have been two hundred years. The polishing and comprehension of this boxing technique is no weaker than that of Zhang Sanfeng.
Therefore, the two of them can be said to have met their opponents and met their talents.
Countless exquisite moves and changes were displayed, making the Six Heroes of Wudang dazzled and amazed.
They didn't quite understand how Taijiquan, a slow-moving boxing technique, can defeat the enemy.
Now after seeing Xiang Nan and Zhang Sanfeng's demonstrations, I realize how powerful this boxing technique is.
…
After dismantling a thousand moves, Xiang Nan saw that there was still no winner, so he immediately turned his softness into strength, and changed to [Left Single Whip], [Right Single Whip], [Leaving Body Beat], [Elbow Bottom Beat], [ Confront the enemy with tough moves such as "Hold your hands and beat your arms", "Progressive planting hammer", "Progressive move and block hammer".
He swung his two long arms, like a steel whip and a sledgehammer, and attacked Zhang Sanfeng's weak spot.
Xiang Nan has practiced Sakyamuni's Elephant Throwing Kung Fu, Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, and the Thirteen Taibao's horizontal golden bell cover. The strength of a single arm is as heavy as a thousand jun, which is unparalleled in the world.
In addition, he is proficient in the Dugu Nine Swords and has reached the highest level of [There is no trick to win and there is a trick]. And as long as Zhang Sanfeng makes a move, he will be able to see the flaw.
Therefore, under his fierce attack, Zhang Sanfeng was at a disadvantage for a while.
But Zhang Sanfeng is an incomparable martial arts genius after all, and he once roamed the rivers and lakes and wiped out evil spirits, so he has extremely rich practical experience and adaptability.
Under the heavy pressure of Xiang Nan, he actually forced out more moves, more changes, and more profound meanings of Taijiquan. So the situation was quickly restored.
As a result, Zhang Sanfeng shouted happily, he hasn't played so much for a long time.
The Six Heroes of Wudang basically couldn't understand it when they saw this.
Because the moves they used before were still the seventy-four Taijiquan moves that Zhang Sanfeng taught just now.
They can barely understand.
But after the fight, the two of them no longer stick to any moves, but use them at will, freely and freely. The subtlety of the moves is beyond their comprehension, and each move is enough for them to ponder for a long time.
After fighting for three thousand moves, Zhang Sanfeng took the initiative to stop, jumped out of the circle, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahahaha... good, good, good, Qing Shu, you really have a high level of comprehension and wisdom, no wonder you are bestowed by Emperor Zhenwu. My mantle has been passed on."
Among his many disciples, Zhang Cuishan was originally the most enlightened. It's a pity that Zhang Cuishan died young, which made him heartbroken.
As for the other disciples, although they all have their own merits, their comprehension is not as good as Zhang Cuishan. Therefore, he was very worried about whether the martial arts he created could be passed on after a hundred years.
But now he's not worried.
Xiang Nan has already learned Taijiquan after only listening to it once, and he can also apply it freely, extending so many moves and changes.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had just created this martial art, he would have suspected that Xiang Nan had already learned Tai Chi, and had practiced it secretly for decades.
Such understanding, higher than Zhang Cuishan, naturally more able to inherit his mantle.
"Thank you, Grand Master, for your compliment." Xiang Nan bowed.
