Chapter 227 The First Biography of Tai Chi
"Zhengdao, these are my former comrades-in-arms, you must treat them well!"
After meeting with the remaining old subordinates and elders of the church, Yang Xingzhou specially arranged a grand banquet for them in the palace, toasted and chatted with these old warriors, and recalled the past together with a lot of emotion.
After three days, they stopped the banquet and settled these old people in the State Guesthouse.
After hearing Yang Xingzhou's instructions, the current emperor Yang Zhengdao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Sir, the pensions of these old people are paid according to the highest standards. They have left blood and sweat for our country. I will never let them
Cry."
Yang Xingzhou smiled and said: "That's good. You can make arrangements and transfer the masters from Qianlong Hall here. I want to consider their kung fu."
Yang Zhengdao did not dare to disobey and said: "Yes! I will call them here right now!"
The Bodhisattva snakes that Yang Xingzhou discovered near the sword tomb had been artificially bred for a long time. Although many snakes were in a free-range state, the medicinal efficacy of the snake gallbladder was not much different. The snake gallbladder left by Yang Xingzhou
With the formula of pills and the hundreds of exercises he left behind, the masters of Qianlong Hall selected by the imperial court have made rapid progress in cultivation, far surpassing the disciples of various sects in the world.
Although the disciples recruited by Jianghu sects also have many talented people, they are far behind compared to Qianlongtang. Qianlongtang directly selects students from martial arts schools all over the country and selects the best batch of people to carry out training from an early age.
Training, layer by layer elimination, hundreds of thousands of seed masters, in the end, only a dozen people can enter Qianlong Hall, and only a few people a year, not more than a hundred at most.
It is easy to imagine the high qualifications of such rigorously selected young masters. Each one of them has the potential of one of the top ten masters. They may not be as good as Zhang Sanfeng, an unparalleled martial arts prodigy, but they are much higher than Taoist Baishu.
They have the resources of the largest and most powerful country in the world to improve themselves. It is difficult for any sect in the martial arts to compare. They need skills and techniques, elixirs and elixirs, and famous teachers. These people in Qianlong Hall are
It is conceivable that the geniuses selected from tens of millions of people have been cultivated for so many years. Their cultivation is advanced and their abilities are powerful.
Therefore, when three days later, thousands of Qianlong Hall masters drawn from various provinces in the Central Plains stood in front of Zhang Sanfeng and Taoist Baishu, their faces became extremely ugly. Zhang Sanfeng was a little better, knowing the power of the royal family.
Under the training of a current Holy Emperor like Yang Xingzhou, it must be very scary. At least he is somewhat mentally prepared, but Taoist Baishu is a bit broken.
Yang Xingzhou carefully considered these masters of Qianlong Hall. This time he called them here in the name of winning a competition. The champion would not only receive three days of martial arts instruction from Yang Xingzhou himself, but also a bottle of Zeng Gong Shedan Pills. The runner-up only received
You can get ten pills, and the second runner-up can only get three pills. However, the top ten will all have the opportunity to listen to Yang Xingzhou's explanation of martial arts.
Not only people from Qianlong Hall attended this martial arts competition, but also royal masters and military masters had quotas. As a result, nearly ten thousand masters gathered in the capital to compete with each other.
Yang Xingzhou casually threw Zhang Sanfeng and Taoist Baishu into the team and asked them to represent the masters of the good and evil factions in the world to participate in this competition.
This competition lasted for ten days. On the fifth day, Taoist Baishu was eliminated. He convinced himself that he had left behind what he had learned throughout his life and was sent to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment. Zhang Sanfeng, on the other hand, made great progress and passed the test all the way.
, as a master of martial arts, he overcame the crowd, stood at the end, and won the title of Wutanhua.
In fact, the first royal master who won was Yang Zhengdao's son, and the second was a master from the military department. Zhang Sanfeng should have been ranked third because he deliberately tolerated these two families, and the master from Qianlong Hall was ranked fourth.
After this competition, Qianlong Hall was deeply humiliated and the disciples in the hall no longer dared to underestimate the world's heroes and worked hard to achieve success in the future.
After the results of the competition came out, Yang Xingzhou took the top ten in the competition to the Temple of Heaven. Starting from the foundation of martial arts, each expressed their understanding of martial arts, sorting out the world's martial arts system from beginning to end, and integrating Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.
Analyze the techniques in the four major sources of demons one by one.
At first, it was just Yang Xingzhou who spoke. Later, Zhang Sanfeng also joined. Later, other experts also participated. A group of people expressed their opinions. After more than ten days of discussion, only Zhang Sanfeng and Yang Xingzhou were left discussing, and the rest
All the martial arts masters could only sit quietly and kneel around to listen to the lecture, while a few others were busy writing and recording the conversation between the two.
Although they could not understand the conversation between the two, as long as they recorded it, sooner or later they would understand. If they did not record it, that would be Ming's greatest loss.
Either way, the selected elites are very important. A hundred years ago, when Yang Xingzhou and Huang Yaoshi and others were discussing Taoism in Jueqing Valley, Yang Guo and others never thought of writing down everyone's remarks, but these warriors at the scene immediately thought of recording.
.
"Jun Bao, I have a set of Tai Chi techniques. It is in line with the Taoist yin and yang transformation. It uses softness to overcome hardness and strikes later. It can be practiced by anyone regardless of their level of aptitude. I just want you to come and taste it."
While speaking, hang your hands down, with the backs of your hands facing outward, your fingers slightly stretched, your feet separated and parallel, then slowly lift your arms to your chest, half-circle your left arm, palms facing each other to form a yin palm, and turn your right palm over to form a yang palm.
Said: "This is the starting position of Tai Chi."
As he performed the moves one by one, he called out the names of the moves: holding the bird's tail, single whip, hand gesture, white crane spreading its wings, hugging the knees and hooking, waving the pipa, moving the hammer forward, like sealing and closing.
, crossed hands, hugging the tiger and returning to the mountain...
Zhang Sanfeng watched intently. At first, he said that Yang Xingzhou deliberately performed the posture very slowly so that everyone could see clearly. However, when he saw the seventh move of "waving the pipa", he could only see Yang Xing in his left palm and Yang in his right palm.
Yin, his eyes stared at his left arm, and his palms slowly closed together. It was as dignified as a mountain, but as light as feathers.
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly realized: "This is the superior martial arts of using the slow to fight the fast and using the still to stop. It coincides with the method I have been trying to figure out over the years!"
He has been in Wudang Mountain for so many years, he has read Taoism well, and has a deep understanding of the Taoist way of breaking through the void. He has always wanted to create a set of kung fu that conforms to the Taoist yin and yang cycle and is as invisible as water, but now he only has a vague understanding of it.
The rudimentary form of martial arts still lacks a bit of accumulation and opportunity, and it has never been able to take shape. However, I know that as long as I continue to practice, sooner or later I will create something. The only difference is sooner or later.
However, he never expected that Yang Xingzhou would create this boxing technique one step ahead of him. This surprise was no small matter, and he was filled with admiration and regret at the same time: "If I could create such a boxing technique, I would definitely be famous in history.
Become a grandmaster! It’s a pity that the Holy Emperor is a hundred times smarter and more intelligent than me, but he invented this way of transforming yin and yang in advance.”
His martial arts skills were already very high. Once he understood it, the more he watched, the more fascinated he became. But when he saw Yang Xingzhou's hands moving in circles, each move contained the yin and yang changes of Tai Chi style. It was so subtle and mysterious that it really opened up a new world that had never been seen before in martial arts.
The Tai Chi technique that Yang Xingzhou performed at this time was the simplest of the twenty-four movements in Tai Chi. However, although there were few moves, the principles of the boxing were clearly revealed. The martial arts principles of overcoming rigidity with softness, braking with stillness, and taking advantage of others were all passed.
His twenty-four moves of Tai Chi are fully demonstrated.
In fact, after so many years of practice, Yang Xingzhou has already taken Tai Chi a big step forward based on what Liu Chengfeng and Zhao Banshan taught him. He has already created several sets of techniques related to Tai Chi.
It's just that now I can't show all these boxing skills in front of Zhang Sanfeng. Otherwise, how can Zhang Sanfeng do it?
What he has to do now is to explain the principles of this boxing method to Zhang Sanfeng, so that he can supplement this boxing method according to this boxing theory and confirm his title as a martial arts master. If he can practice all the mature Tai Chi techniques
When I came out, although I pretended to be a big dick, I was not friendly to Zhang Sanfeng.
After Yang Xingzhou completed the simplified twenty-four Tai Chi movements, Zhang Sanfeng watched with excitement. After Yang Xingzhou stopped and exhaled, he applauded loudly. Even the more than ten imperial masters who were watching also saw the three aspects of this boxing technique.
After sharing the mystery, there was a roar, and everyone was convinced.
After Yang Xingzhou stopped, he smiled at Zhang Sanfeng and said: "Jun Bao, you Wudang originally belonged to the Taoist sect, so our martial arts are naturally extremely brilliant. Wudang Mianzhang has clearly demonstrated the characteristics of the internal martial arts, but there are always few
Developed a set of mental methods to guard the door. Shaolin Temple has Yi Jin Sutra
, the Quanzhen Sect has innate skills, Dali has a yang finger, the Beggar Clan has the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick Technique, and even the Huashan Sect has the support of the swordsmanship of the ten great masters. Only you, Wudang, have you
I have created a few self-made exercises, but after all, I am missing a set of fundamental exercises to control the sect."
Zhang Sanfeng said: "Yes, this Tai Chi can be used as a martial art in Wudang Mountain! It's just that your Majesty's boxing principles alone are not enough to pass on to your disciples to fight against the enemy."
Yang Xingzhou said: "I have only understood the beginning of this martial art. We can deduce the rest of the martial arts mentality together."
It was a matter of sect inheritance, Zhang Sanfeng did his duty and said: "Okay!"
They had previously discussed martial arts without hiding it from everyone present, but now when they were deriving the Tai Chi skills, they found a quiet room and deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of the masters. This is the martial arts that the Wudang sect has relied on for thousands of years, and it is no small matter.
, naturally you cannot let others know at will.
The two of them stayed in seclusion in the quiet room for many days. Under the guidance of Yang Xingzhou, the two of them perfected the Tai Chi mental method step by step. Later, more than a dozen sword techniques and boxing techniques were extended from this technique to develop the yin and yang.
, the method of hardness and softness is brought to the extreme.
In just one month, Zhang Sanfeng had a sudden burst of inspiration, and the techniques he created in more than a month actually exceeded the achievements of the previous decades. It can be seen that under the pressure of Yang Xingzhou, Zhang Sanfeng unleashed his greatest potential.
With Yang Xingzhou, the best person in the world, encouraging him, he could not stimulate his potential even if he wanted to. When his wisdom was exhausted, more than a dozen Wudang magic skills derived from Tai Chi skills were perfected.
At this point, Yang Xingzhou began to guide Zhang Sanfeng in deducing the art of combined attack, that is, the combined attack formation.
