Dingguo

Chapter 55

Thinking about it, it should be a relatively unorthodox boxing method. It is estimated that those men who have traveled the rivers and lakes have compiled and drawn their own routines to deceive the third master. It should not be put on the table. 【】

As for what the third master said about having practiced for a period of time, Li Ji automatically understood that it was only a few days, or a few months... "Haven't you heard of Tai Chi?" He patted his forehead.

The true origin of Taijiquan comes from the sword and spear techniques of the ancient cavalry. According to legend, it was Master Zhang Sanfeng of the Ming Dynasty who really started to use "Taiji" as the name of the boxing method and established a sect.Thinking about it this way, in terms of the history of the different feudal dynasties, there should be no such name.

Li Ji shook his head. He himself is good at many styles of boxing, but even if he has not practiced any well-known boxing styles in this world, he has probably heard of them, but he has never heard of 'Tai Chi'.

"Oh, let me explain a little bit first?"

Li Ji nodded with a smile, not thinking that the third master could make any sense.Moreover, it is really a good boxing technique, without joining the sect, it is absolutely difficult to learn the true meaning, even if you practice a little, it is only superficial, and you cannot become a master.

Putting on airs and deceiving laymen is more or less the same.

He didn't think about the thoughts in Li Ji's mind at this time, but put together the thoughts he had already sorted out one by one.

Regarding Taijiquan, the most reliable statement is of course that when Zhang Sanfeng sorted out the internal boxing methods, he collected the strengths of other families, and after several years of research, he integrated the Taoist Book of Changes to form the real Taijiquan method. more real.

The reason why Taijiquan is named Taiji is of course related to yin and yang and eight trigrams.The emphasis is: Zhenganshu, lightness and flexibility, looseness and slowness, orderly opening and closing, combination of hardness and softness, flowing clouds and flowing water, continuous and continuous.

Later, when Taijiquan was passed on, various schools appeared one after another.The comprehension of Taijiquan methods of each party is also different, so the paths taken are also different.There is a calm way, there is a light way, and there is a comprehensive way that combines Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi... In fact, the roads are interlinked, although the roads are different, they lead to the same goal.When the kung fu has been practiced to a high level, it is all-in-one... The Taijiquan he practiced is a summary version specially compiled by the Taijiquan Association of later generations, focusing on the variety of moves and omitting the internal training part.When he comprehensively studied Taijiquan, he found various ancient books, which mentioned it more than once: first practice form and then practice Qi.

After practicing for several years, the routine is familiar and cannot be more familiar.As for how to practice Qi, he was a little at a loss.In the previous life, there were different opinions, and among the existing Tai Chi masters, there are few masters who are very good at practicing Qi, so he doesn't know how to distinguish who is right from wrong... Some people say: use breathing to guide the inner breath, Arouse mental energy by collecting external qi and standing uprights; some say: move qi with the heart, balance yin and yang, and practice dantian qi; Sheng, this qi is internal force.

In fact, he is more inclined to a more scientific modern research statement: the scientific point of view is that internal strength is Cunjin, that is, within a very short distance, as much explosive energy as possible can be erupted.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to start with the structure of the body.The most primitive point of origin for body force is the tendon, and the tendon is directly connected to the bones and nerves. A slight movement of the deeper muscles from the body can drive the large-scale contraction of the superficial muscles.

After such an analysis, the internal strength is how to mobilize the movement of the deep part of the tendon as much as possible at an extremely fast speed.

There are still many problems that bother him... For example: how to effectively mobilize the deep part of the tendon in the shortest time?Just effectively mobilizing the outer layer of muscles, it can only be in the category of hard qigong; for example: if you really mobilize such a large force, according to the principle of reaction force in physics, you will also suffer a correspondingly large reaction Strength, wouldn't this hurt a thousand people and hurt yourself eight hundred?

For example: Is there a possibility to use some skills, through the principles of mechanics, combined with the structure of the human body, to exert the force to the extreme?

All these problems are the reason why he is eager to find a master to study... It's just that Li Ji at this time has already entered a state of sluggishness after listening to his Taijiquan method.

With Li Ji's level of martial arts, when he heard the essence summed up by later generations one by one, he already realized the value of these essences.

Li Ji never thought that in this dynasty, the martial arts essentials that are regarded as treasures by various sects would be uttered by the third master in front of him... If not for his own knowledge, he would be considered extensive, otherwise what the third master said would be He probably didn't understand... This time, he just wanted to despise the third master, but he probably couldn't do it.

Putting away the mentality of being small, thinking seriously about what the third master said, it took a long time before he said: "So, Taijiquan is an extremely high-level martial art... Well, 'Punching the Land of the Crouching Bull' shows that This is a small skill; but "flowing clouds and flowing water, moving and jumping" seems to be saying that this skill may not be able to open and close;, stroke, squeeze, press, elbow, lean. Advance, retreat, look, Hope, Ding, these thirteen moves should be the secret boxing scriptures, third master, you know all these moves?"

Seeing that Li Ji had finally gotten interested, he didn't speak. He took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the stone table. Fist practiced again.

Just the appearance, but closely linked to the meaning of sticking, sticking, connecting, and following, and the movements are as natural as flowing water. Although it is a hundred and eight movements, it is like a single movement, continuous... Li Ji's eyes lit up, and his eyes lit up. He had stood up involuntarily for a long time, and it wasn't until he finished practicing all the moves that Li Ji clapped his hands and yelled "Hello", then he began to think deeply, walking up and down under the shade of the tree, muttering something, he didn't know Thinking about something... "It seems that there is something missing... what is it? What is missing..."

"Lack of internal strength..." He reminded Li Ji, but he was actually happy in his heart. An expert is an expert, and his martial arts that can be seen at a glance is missing something.

"Inner strength?" Li Ji was taken aback, "No, no, it should be... it should be... mind power... yes, it's mind power..." Li Ji jumped up excitedly.

"Mind power?" This time it seemed that he himself was only superficial... "What is mind power?"

Li Ji didn't answer in a hurry, and closed his eyes for a while before saying, "Most of today's warriors focus on skills. They pay attention to the unexpected moves and attack the opponent's vital points. Take me as an example. Train your body, use various methods to make your body strong to a certain level, and then you will come into contact with boxing. Each school has its own boxing and power skills. Master these tricks, cooperate with the subtlety of boxing, plus With a talented body, you can reach the level of a master. Of course, there are some schools with bad talents and want to strengthen them through other methods. Most of these schools use swords and other weapons to assist them, and most of them also focus on moves... Regardless How to put it, boxing is the kingly way, but weapon strikes have gone sideways. It's just that these, no matter what, can't escape the category of "skills"... This kind of concept has not changed until the appearance of "mind force"... "

"Oh..." He vaguely guessed that this power of thought and internal strength are probably the same thing.
