Zhou Yunzhen followed the flow of people in twos and threes into the park.
A burst of fresh and pure air hit my face.
Walking on the wide park avenue, there are thick shades on both sides and greenery everywhere.
Tall palm plants can be seen everywhere. Many palm trees are wrapped with vines growing from head to tail. The branches are connected to each other front and back, and the branches are intertwined and towering.
The further he walked in, the more beautiful the scenery became. Along the way, the maple forests were dyed red, and exotic flowers, plants, caves and rocks all came into view, making it dizzying.
"It's so beautiful!" Zhou Yunzhen exclaimed. He understood why Dong Jinshan, director of the Supervision Office, asked him to come here.
Here you can enter a state where you forget both things and yourself, indulge yourself in nature, and enjoy the strange mountains and rivers.
Isn't this what the ancients meant when they traveled under the forest?
A large green grassland appeared in the distance.
There are many elderly people on the grass who are concentrating on practicing "Tai Chi". Their energy is sinking in their Dantian, and they are very serious about every move.
Tai Chi is a gentle abdominal exercise with stillness in movement and movement in stillness. Just like dance, it is actually a kind of martial art.
Tai Chi is a sport created by the ancients based on the unity of nature and man, and the two qi of yin and yang. It uses the mind to guide qi to achieve the purpose of reconciling qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, and cultivating temperament.
Long-term practice of Tai Chi can make people's blood vessels full, breathing smooth, enhancing the function of the internal organs, improving the body's immunity, promoting metabolism, and achieving health-preserving effects.
This sport is especially suitable for seniors.
Zhou Yunzhen saw an old man wearing white training clothes and practicing Tai Chi calmly.
The old man's movements were slow and skillful, like a willow blowing in the spring breeze, like clouds and flowing water. He exhaled and absorbed, relaxed his shoulders and dropped his elbows, rose up, parted the mane of a wild horse, then spread his wings like a white crane, spread his right hand, and slowly closed the posture.
The entire process is completed slowly and naturally.
Looking at this old man who looked like a fairy, Zhou Yunzhen knew that this old man was actually a Tai Chi master.
After the old man finished practicing Tai Chi, he walked slowly to an octagonal pavilion next to the lawn. There were stone tables and benches in the pavilion for pedestrians to rest, play cards and other entertainment.
Next to the Octagonal Pavilion is a large green bamboo forest, which grows lushly.
Zhou Yunzhen walked forward and bowed deeply to the old man, "Old man, your skills are extraordinary. You must be a master from this generation."
After hearing the words of the young man in front of him, the old man was not surprised, but said calmly: "Yaozi, I have not escaped from the world, I have not escaped from the world, I am just a common person in the world. Let alone an outsider. A master."
"I practice Tai Chi, but it's purely to nourish the liver, protect the eyes, and delay aging."
"Old man, I have a heartfelt request, is it okay?" An idea came to Zhou Yunzhen's mind.
However, the old man seemed to have penetrated his internal organs and said something, "My set of Tai Chi emphasizes gentle, natural movements and the unity of nature and man. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people who are calm and introverted. You The blood is strong, and there is no lack of impetuousness unique to young people, even impulsive, unable to calm down."
"Otherwise, hardness and softness are in conflict, yin and yang are out of balance, and improper training will harm the body and be counterproductive."
"Is it so powerful?" Zhou Yunzhen exclaimed.
"Of course, there are many people who are in good health. Why do their health deteriorate after practicing Tai Chi? They end up becoming a disabled person."
"Improper method?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Rather than saying that the method is inappropriate, it is better to say that it is due to my impatience and it violates the taboos of Tai Chi."
"The sun, moon, sky, rivers and earth are all governed by the Tao. The Tao follows nature."
"So now? It's not your time yet."
Zhou Yunzhen bowed again, "I am a philosopher. Listening to my words is better than reading ten years of books. I will understand later."
At this time, the old man stretched his waist and took out a chess box from a bag placed on the stone bench.
"Come on, come on, how about a kill?"
Zhou Yunzhengang wanted to answer modestly, saying that he was not very good at it.
But he always found that the old man was not talking to him at all.
Instead, he spoke to a slightly younger and energetic old man who came down from the bamboo forest area on the hillside.
"Okay, Old Leader..." Seeing someone there, he immediately changed his words and said, "Mr. Yang, I am unfortunate and honored, and I am willing to accompany you."
The visitor spoke politely and strode to the Bajiao Pavilion.
The two set up a chess game, and the boundaries between Chu and Han were clearly defined, and the war was about to break out.
Mr. Yang glanced at Zhou Yunzhen and said, "What about you, young man?"
"I would like to accompany the last one and watch the two old men play chess."
"Okay!" Mr. Yang said with a twist of his beard, "As the saying goes, a true gentleman watches chess but does not speak. Don't point fingers."
"Follow your teachings. I am half-informed and half-empty. How can I give guidance to my seniors? I will be killed."
Mr. Yang said no more.
The two sides went to war.
For a moment, the two sides held their breath and fought fiercely on the chessboard. You came and I went back and forth, swords flashing, and the stalemate continued.
Zhou Yunzhen was shocked by the superb skills of the two men. They were indeed masters. The fight was indistinguishable and the outcome was indistinguishable.
Suddenly, Zhou Yunzhen's sixth sense came into play while he was watching the chess game. Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and he sensed danger approaching around him step by step.
Zhou Yunzhen looked towards the bamboo forest on the slope, wondering where the danger was coming from.
But this is a sea of bamboo, and the bamboo forest sways with the wind, swaying and dancing, undulating like waves.
It's really hard to see what dangerous things are lurking inside, or what dangerous beasts are dormant.
Zhou Yunzhen's eyes were fixed on the ground again. The ground was green and grassy, with nothing unusual about it.
"It seems I'm too worried."
Zhou Yunzhen laughed at himself.
His hunch was indeed correct. At this moment, a snake had already snaked out from the center of the bamboo forest at an extremely fast speed and entered the lawn.
This is a poisonous snake that often appears here. It is the color of green bamboo, the same color as the bamboo forest and lawn. Because it is mixed with the bamboo and green grass, it is difficult to distinguish it at a close distance.
It sneaks into the lawn silently, blending in with its surroundings and lying in wait.
Waiting for an opportunity and then launching a fatal blow.
At this time, the Octagonal Pavilion was shrouded in the frightening aura of death, but the two players who were not distracted were killing each other in darkness, and no one noticed this situation.
Zhou Yunzhen sensed the approaching danger, but he could not find the direction from which the danger would come.
Seeing that the two concentrating old men were still fighting endlessly, Zhou Yunzhen couldn't care less. He shouted loudly: "Two old men, please stop fighting for the time being."
"What's the matter?" Mr. Yang raised his head, slightly dissatisfied.
Zhou Yunzhen's shout disrupted his thoughts and steps.
Mr. Yang continued: "I have said that a true gentleman is to watch the chess game without saying a word. You, young man, are still impetuous."
Zhou Yunzhen was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "Uncle Yang, I feel the danger is coming step by step. Be careful, otherwise you will regret it."
