"That's right, what I just practiced was Hunyuan Zhuang." The old Taoist priest explained.
"What is Hunyuan Zhuang?" Gu Chen asked without understanding.
The old Taoist priest straightened up for a moment, his smile faded slightly, and he did not taboo anything. Instead, he continued to explain: "Hunyuan Zhuang, as the name suggests, means standing, which is a martial arts technique."
"As the saying goes, if you don't practice martial arts, you will be in vain. Since you know Tai Chi, how can you not know Zhuang Kung Fu?"
The old Taoist priest looked at him, as if he wanted to know how he would explain.
Gu Chen touched his head, gave a silly smile, and said: "To be honest with you, Taoist Master, I have only practiced Tai Chi for a while, and it was taught by others, so I have only a half-knowledge."
"I see. It seems that you are just a layman. After staring at Pindao for so long, do you think you are really capable?"
The old Taoist priest is not afraid of offending others, he just says whatever comes to his mind. Fortunately, Gu Chen doesn't care. If he really wanted to care about it, if Gu Chen punches him, the old Taoist priest will probably fulfill his lifelong wish and fly away. .
"That's right. Apart from working, getting married and having children, how many of today's young people would devote themselves to practicing these ancient martial arts. Only us old guys are still persisting. I think back then..."
The old Taoist priest stopped here, as if thinking of the past, looking at the sky, and brushing his goatee with his left hand.
"Taoist Master, can I learn from your Hunyuan Zhuang?"
Gu Chen didn't mince words. He felt that his Tai Chi lacked this skill. Although he couldn't explain why, it was a man's intuition.
"Oh? You want to learn?" The old Taoist priest looked at him curiously.
"Yeah!" Gu Chen nodded, his eyes sincere, not like he was faking at all.
“It’s not impossible to learn if you want to.”
The old Taoist priest turned his head and looked into the distance, touched his beard, paused, then turned his head and looked into Gu Chen's eyes, and said: "Well, don't you know how to do Tai Chi? You can do it once and show me, you If you really have a foundation of talent, it won’t hurt you to have a professor, it’s nothing anyway.”
Gu Chen was overjoyed and immediately put down his backpack and started practicing Tai Chi.
It only takes seven or eight minutes to complete a set of Tai Chi.
Of course, he didn't burst the air, otherwise it would be a bit too shocking. If someone videotapes it and posts it online, it's fine if you don't believe it, but once it is confirmed, why don't you arrest him and slice him into pieces?
"Not bad, not bad. You are already very proficient in Tai Chi, but your feet are unstable and too frivolous. This is why you haven't practiced Zhuang Kung Fu yet."
I wanted to be humble, but just as I was about to speak, the old Taoist priest said again: "Looking at your routine, it is Chen style Tai Chi, right?"
"Taoist Priest's Insightful Eyes!" Gu Chen was surprised for a moment. This old Taoist priest still has some real abilities.
The old Taoist priest was seen combing his long white beard up and down, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he couldn't stop at all.
When Gu Chen saw this, he didn't have any unnecessary expressions. The flattering slap hit the horse's butt squarely.
It can be seen that this old Taoist priest is very useful.
"Well, I can teach you this skill, but..."
Gu Chen hated people who pretended to be serious mid-sentence.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, he still asked: "Taoist Master, what is it?"
The old Taoist priest did not speak, but stretched out his right hand, pinched his index finger, thumb and middle finger together and rubbed them back and forth.
Gu Chen knew what it meant at a glance and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids twice.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate and immediately took out his cell phone.
When the old Taoist priest saw this, he felt happy. He also took out his mobile phone, clicked on the payment code, and handed it over.
But after waiting for a minute, Gu Chen didn't see Gu Chen scanning the QR code with his mobile phone, and he didn't even look at the phone he handed out.
At first, he thought Gu Chen didn't find the scan code sign, so he waited for a while.
Still didn't see any action from Gu Chen, so he kept flipping around with his cell phone.
Out of curiosity, the old Taoist priest took a step forward and glanced sideways.
"Boy, you can't find it online. Even if it is available, no one will teach you. How dare you practice it?"
The old Taoist priest smiled, turned his head back, turned sideways, brushed his beard with one hand, and held the mobile phone behind his back with one hand, staring at him sideways with one eye closed.
Gu Chen stopped what he was doing, raised his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Forgive me, Taoist Master."
"It seems like you have to spend money. Let's ask how much it is first. If it suits you, then learn it. Anyway, he won't be taken advantage of. After learning it, he will ask you for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands."
"Taoist Priest, may I ask about this need..."
Before Gu Chen finished speaking, the Taoist priest stretched out his cell phone.
Gu Chen lowered his head and thought, "What a guy!"
I saw a QR code for payment on my phone, which was nothing, but the QR code had already set the payment amount.
This old Taoist priest is very good at playing with mobile phones at such an old age, unlike his parents, who still need his help to cash out the few dollars he earns from watching videos in a certain music channel.
Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then scanned the code with his mobile phone.
"Ding, your account balance is 5,000 yuan."
Hearing the announcement, the old Taoist priest immediately beamed with joy. He took Gu Chen to a spacious flat area and was about to teach him the Hunyuan Zhuang.
Gu Chen didn't refuse. He paid the tuition anyway, so he picked up his backpack and followed him to the side.
"Okay, now you follow me and listen to my instructions, you know?" The old Taoist priest stood on his left side and said.
"Um."
"Come on, keep your feet shoulder-width apart."
Gu Chen followed the old Taoist priest and worked carefully.
"Hold your hands round, place your index fingers facing each other, place them in front of your abdomen, and slightly rotate your palms inwards, aiming at your lower abdomen.
The chin is slightly retracted, hundreds of people will rise up, the spirit is weak and strong, the shoulders are sinking and the elbows are sinking, and the chest is lifted and the back is pulled up. "
"Bend your knees and relax."
"The upper body is brought forward, without any obvious forward lean. Yongquan is facing Baihui."
Gu Chen listened to the command and imitated the old Taoist priest's stance.
Xin Hao had read various atlases of Chinese medicine before, otherwise he would not have known where the Baihui and Yongquan points were.
The old Taoist priest stopped, looked at him, and kept correcting his posture.
"Very good, that's it, keep it. If your movements change, make slight adjustments."
five minutes later.
"Not bad, not bad. It's already good if you can stand for five minutes as a beginner. If you can't hold on any longer, you can stop."
"I'm okay." Gu Chen said.
His back was sweating slightly now, but he could still hold on.
Fifteen minutes later.
Gu Chen felt a slight warm current passing through his lower abdomen, and the energy in his body increased significantly.
Twenty minutes later.
Gu Chen was already sweating profusely. At this moment, the cyclone in his body suddenly burst out of his Dantian and began to circulate around his body, making it very warm.
Twenty-five minutes later.
"Boy, you really opened my eyes as a poor fellow. If you persist a little longer, it will be over in thirty minutes."
The old Taoist priest was extremely uneasy at the moment. For an average beginner, standing for five minutes would be considered good. Standing for half an hour would already be a small achievement. Even for himself, he estimated that he could only stand for about an hour if he tried his best. .
Half an hour later, Gu Chen stopped as the old Taoist said. His back was soaked and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.
However, he felt that if the energy in his body was attached to his body surface, he would probably be able to stand for a few more hours without falling.
