After finishing the three sets of moves, Luo Fan continued to speak: "The power of Tai Chi is in line with the way of heaven, the root of yin and yang, and the method without roots. There are hundreds of categories. What I practice is the Golden Rain Mountain Heaven The method of Xuanjin Chongmai created by Qingdao Master. There are three key points of the moves, namely starting hand, Jinchong and Qi Tian. After practicing until the three techniques are integrated into one, Tianhe will be perfected. The key has three parts. The first part is the key of the moves. 'The force is in harmony with the universe, as soft as the eight winds. Swinging like a floating body, the twelve tendons and strings of energy lift and rush!' Now follow the key points and watch me fight again."
Luofan then performed the Tai Chi palm technique again at a slower speed. After reading the key points of cooperation again, Zhong Fengxue can already see the three-point essence. Then, Luofan led her one move at a time, familiarizing her with the moves three times. After three strikes, Zhong Fengxue was able to perform a complete Tai Chi palm on her own.
Seeing that she was learning quickly, Luo Fan reminded her: "The way of Tai Chi is the way of harmony between nature and man. It must not be used as a weapon to show off your strength and courage. To learn this martial arts, you must abandon desires and distracting thoughts and pursue the way of natural harmony." . You can’t have the intention of hurting others and trying to be strong, otherwise you will be secretly poisonous and hurt yourself instead. The higher your martial arts skills are, the more you will regard all things as trivial, and you will gradually become cruel and ruthless, and you will fall into the devil’s way without even realizing it. You should keep this in mind.”
Zhong Fengxue: "I know."
Luofan continued: "You can already use the moves freely. The next part is the key to the luck-strengthening problem: 'The generals of the five directions of the Qi soldiers, the mind and the Qi rush together. Invincible protection from all sides, fight to capture and snipe the loose.' Most people use their strength to The Dantian absorbs Qi and stimulates hundreds of meridians. In Tai Chi practice, in addition to the big Dantian, it is also necessary to cultivate four other small Dantians, Yongquan, Jilao, Gao Xing, and Jade Pillow. Using the five Dantians, you can mobilize the inner Qi at will to form the whole body. Ruyi Formation Protection. Return your body to its original origin and reach the state of formless harmony. Come on, follow the formula of luck and perform the moves again."
Zhong Fengxue follows the formula to collect Qi in five places and circulate it throughout her body several times. In this way, after practicing Tai Chi Palm a few more times, I was surprised to find that my speed and movement skills had improved a lot. Moreover, after a set of palm techniques, the body seems to have returned to its youth, becoming more energetic, and even the old injuries accumulated more than ten years ago have begun to heal on their own.
Zhong Fengxue praised: "The method of Tai Chi is really magical."
Luofan: "The method of Tai Chi originates from nature. If you can synchronize and harmonize with nature, you can see the movement of heaven and earth, and you can know everything. When a person has a thought, his heart will move, and it will not be perfect, and it will be settled. Doomsday. Now, I will teach you the last part of the Qi Harmony formula: 'Qi transforms into yin and yang, and infinitesimals produce infinitesimals.' Although this sentence is simple, it is the most important part of the entire technique."
Zhong Fengxue: "What is the transformation of qi into yin and yang, and the infinite generation of infinitesimals?"
Luofan explained: "Force is a tool of resistance, the heart is the direction of exerting force, and thoughts determine the effect of exerting force. The strength of ordinary people's muscles is only five hundred kilograms for those with strong internal strength. Those with high internal strength can use Qi to control The power can reach ten thousand catties. The change of Qi determines the shape and attributes of Qi. The extremely Yin power you practice is of the cold attribute and is white. Your daughter Li Xia's body has two Qi of fire and cold, so it is white and red. Two colors. These are all caused by qi. Tai Chi is about harmonizing yin and yang, turning one qi into ten thousand, and guarding against enemies and subtle elements."
Zhong Fengxue is still puzzled: "How to reconcile yin and yang, how to transform ten thousand things into one thing?".
Luo Fan shook his head and said: "The ancient times have disappeared, and it is difficult to see immortals. Nowadays, each sect has different ideas, and no one who has achieved great success can give a definite opinion. But I think that in Tai Chi, if you learn a fixed method, it will be difficult to reach the highest level. Realm. Let me ask you, if Ming Qiansou sneaks up on you with a shadowless needle in the dark? How sure are you that you can stop it?"
Zhong Fengxue thought about it: "If the environment is quiet, it would be 70% to 80%. Although the Shadowless Needle cannot be seen or heard, I can hear Ming Qiansou's movements and techniques of delivering the needle."
Luo Fan asked again: "Then if the environment is noisy, he probably has more than 50% chance of hitting you, right?"
Zhong Fengxue: "That's natural."
Luofan: "This is the limitation of your Qi. Your skills are still limited to using your five senses to perceive and your brain to distinguish. Tai Chi's Qi has many changes and depends on Tianhe. If you can reach the state of Tianhe, all things will be with you. When one is one, the Qi moves at will, the world and the heart turn. Rivers reverse at will, mountains and rocks collapse at will. Poisons are not invaded, the five elements are not harmed, and birds and beasts can be driven at will. This is the realm of heaven and man, and it is also the highest realm of Tai Chi. "
Zhong Fengxue nodded and said: "I understand. The origin of all things is the same. The world is the big universe, and I am the small universe. Grasping my original roots means grasping the roots of yin and yang, and grasping the pulse of the world. I am the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth are the world. Me. If I can reach that state, I will be the only one in heaven and earth. However, trying to communicate with heaven and earth is as difficult as climbing to the sky. I am afraid that it will take hundreds of years, but it is just in vain."
Luo Fan also nodded and said: "That's right. In ancient times, the world was full of spiritual energy, and there were many born strange people who could become immortals and Taoists. Nowadays, it is difficult for people to be good people, let alone find any immortal way. However, the number of previous factors determines the future. If there is no thought in the mind, there will be no sleepiness. You don’t have to pursue it, you can always see the great path by emptying your mind into nature.”
After speaking, Luofan instructed Zhong Fengxue to practice for a while.
Not long after, the secret guards of the Tianzi Team came to report, and finally someone from the Zhang family came to express their condolences. The first person who dared to come to the Zhang family to express condolences was none other than Wen Xiang Wu Sanwen. Wu Sanwen was protected by Mu Jiufeng, so he was naturally not afraid of the four major families. Moreover, he is a role model for literati, and he should show up at the funeral of his colleagues to express his feelings. Luofan also came to the mourning hall in person to greet him.
Wu Sanwen came to the mourning hall and was surprised to see Luo Fan. He asked, "Luo Fan? Why are you wearing mourning clothes? Oh, I remembered. You are the son-in-law of the Zhang family now, right?"
Luo Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "No. Mr. Zhang Ruoxu is my adoptive father. As his adopted son, I should be filial and take care of his funeral. Mr. Wen Xiang is not afraid of the oppression of power and comes to express his condolences in person. Luo Fan Thank you very much. Please.”
Wu Sanwen looked confused. When did Zhang Ruoxu have an adopted son? This kid is full of evil thoughts, which is really hard to see through. Not bothering to inquire further, he entered the mourning hall and bowed three times to the deceased. I lit a stick of incense and bowed three more times.
Thinking that Zhang Ruoxu, who was so heroic and benevolent in his life, ended up like this. Wu Sanwen couldn't help but sigh. People say that evil cannot defeat good, but before this evil is killed, it will harm many kind-hearted people. When he came to Zhang Feiling, Wu Sanwen also comforted him with a few words. Then he left eighty taels of silk gold and left.
After Wu Sanwen left, a group of officials from the inner government, led by Yu Wenzhao, also came together. They each expressed their feelings and left in a hurry. Logically speaking, Zhang Ruoxu was their best friend, and they should help with the funeral arrangements. Even staying for a meal is considered a favor.
But now, Sima Yue's army outside the city is watching eagerly. Everyone was also afraid that if they stayed for a long time, they would incur the revenge of the four major families. After all, Zhang Ruoxu still has the reputation of being rebellious. Li Benxin was also afraid that Sima Yue would take advantage of the opportunity to take action, so he ordered Yu Wenzhao to inspect the city defense in the past few days.
Li Benxin did not dare to show his face, and only sent Zhang Tianjun to come in civilian clothes. Zhang Tianjun gave Li Benxin a small gift of one thousand taels and burned a stick of incense. Then, he brought a message to Zhang Feiling for Li Benxin. He said, "It's inconvenient for me to come here, but I remember Mr. Zhang's kindness in the past, and I will definitely clear up his grievances in the future." After Zhang Tianjun finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Everyone came and left quickly, as if the Zhang family was a tiger's mouth and a wolf's den. In the blink of an eye, the deserted Zhang Mansion became even more deserted.
Zhang Feiling was so angry that her face turned livid, and she even bit her lip until it bled. There was only anger in her eyes!
Luo Fan stood aside and could see clearly. But thinking about it, Li Benxin was indeed unreasonable in doing this, and it showed his stupidity even more. Zhang Ruoxu worked hard for him and died for him, but now that there is a big funeral, he doesn't even show up. With such courage and mind, who would dare to really work for him in the future. The group of people in the inner government are also small and powerful people. Except for Yu Wenzhao, no one is really responsible.
It's quite miserable to think about this Feiling, a weak daughter's family has to bear these things. Luo Fan also sympathized. He walked over and patted Zhang Feiling on the shoulder, comforting him and saying, "Yu Wen, don't think too much. Everyone has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Li Benxin was also frightened by Sima Yue. I guess he was frightened. It’s not that he doesn’t want to come, he just doesn’t have the guts to come.”
Zhang Feiling turned his eyes white with hatred, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Seeking good luck and avoiding disaster? Three years ago, he was chased by hundreds of thousands of troops. My father led troops to help him put down the rebellion. Did he ever fear danger? These years , in the court, my father helped him fight against the four major families, but he was never afraid of the danger. Now that his father died because of him, he could not bear to show his face. It is pitiful that my father was full of kindness, but he helped such an incompetent, cowardly, and ungrateful person. Foolish king! If I had known earlier, I would have been better off joining Sima Yue to overthrow his dynasty!"
