"Master, what is the name of your fist?" Li Qing asked curiously.
"Let me think about it~" The little old man thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Tai Chi."
"Tai Chi?" Li Qing was shocked, "Zhang Sanfeng?"
Zhang Shou's face turned dark, "You're itchy, aren't you?"
Although he has dementia, he still has vague memories of past events after he wakes up, and knows that he often goes crazy.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, disciple," Li Qing saw the old man rolling up his sleeves and quickly explained, "Master, you are famous in future generations. The name of Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng is known all over the world."
"Really?" Zhang Sloppy said suspiciously, "You kid are not making it up because you are afraid of getting beaten, are you?"
"It's absolutely true." Li Qing said sternly, "It's not the madness of a madman, but the harvest. Later generations will record that you founded the Wudang Sect..."
Barabara...
Zhang Suluo nodded frequently when he heard this. Seeing that Li Qing didn't seem to be lying, he asked: "How many people practice Tai Chi?"
"A lot." Li Qing didn't know the exact number, so he thought for a moment and replied, "More than the entire population of the Ming Dynasty combined?"
"Are you bluffing?" Zhang Sloppy didn't believe it. "How many people are there in the world? You're bragging and you don't even use your brain."
"I'm not lying to you." Li Qing said, "The total population of the world in future generations will be 700 million."
"worldwide?"
"That's the whole world." Li Qing showed off, "Master, you don't understand. The earth is round. It is just a super big sphere, not a round sky or a flat place."
"How do you know?" Zhang Sloppy also became interested.
Li Qing had been holding back for eight years, and now someone was talking, his mouth was like a machine gun, clicking non-stop.
"People in future generations have gone up to the sky. You know the moon, right? Everyone has gone up to it..."
"Interesting, really interesting..." Zhang Sulu was fascinated by what he heard and said with a smile, "But the earth is round, I already knew it."
Li Qing asked in surprise: "Have you ever gone to heaven?"
Does this sound like a curse? Zhang Sloppy rolled his eyes, "I have never been to the sky, but I have been to the sea, and the sea lines are not flat."
…
The master and apprentice walked and talked all the way.
Two days later, when they arrived in the town, they found out that they were in Ji'an, Jiangxi, only 600 miles away from Longhu Mountain.
The master and apprentice found a restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered a table of delicious dishes, and ate happily.
When the waiter saw the two having sex, he suspected that they couldn't pay. It wasn't until Li Qing took out a gold ingot that the waiter nodded and left.
"The food in the restaurant is still delicious." Li Qing sighed, then smiled and said, "Master, how many moves are there in Tai Chi?"
This is the most primitive form of Tai Chi, and he takes it very seriously.
Zhang Slutty wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "There are no moves. If I really want to talk about moves, then those are the ones you were beaten before."
"..." Li Qing's face was full of black lines, and he said without giving up, "Don't you have... that kind of coaxing, and a slap to split the mountain and rubble?"
Zhang Slutty rolled his eyes, "If you practice Qi well, you shouldn't be able to split mountains, but gravel is still fine. Tai Chi is not for fighting."
"Okay." Li Qing was a little disappointed. He also said that it was just like in martial arts novels. Once it is used, it can shock the world and make ghosts and gods cry.
"Then what is the secret of Tai Chi?"
"Everything in the world can be called Tai Chi." Zhang Sugao said, "Everything has two sides. As my teacher said before, things must be reversed if they are not extreme. Tai Chi is like this, but it is not limited to this."
Li Qing said with a grimace: "Master, can you say something that disciples can understand?"
"Balance!" Zhang said sloppily: "Everything must be balanced, from individuals to everything in the world.
If people lose their balance, they will get sick; if a country loses its balance, it will fall apart; if the universe loses its balance, it will cease to exist;
When yin and yang are in harmony, everything in the world can exist, and only then can people, families, and countries exist.”
Li Qing said speechlessly: "I feel that you are not talking about boxing, but about philosophy."
"My teacher is talking about Tai Chi." Zhang said sloppily, "When you truly understand Tai Chi, the boxing you use is Tai Chi, and the sword you use is Tai Chi Sword. The secret of Tai Chi is to let people find balance."
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, there is no difference between Tai Chi and the Book of Changes. You have read the Book of Changes hundreds of times, but do you understand its profound meaning?"
"Please master, teach me."
Li Qing knew that the old man's understanding must be much more thorough than his.
"To put it bluntly, it's a transaction, the transaction of all things." Zhang said sloppily. "To put it crudely, it's like doing business, using what you don't buy. Even more crudely, the same is true for men and women. Can men and men have children?
The same is true for the birth of children, and vice versa. Only the union of men and women can they reproduce."
After a pause, he continued: "A person's body, money, lifespan, status, power, reputation... are all bargaining chips;
Some people buy their lives with money, for example: paying for a doctor;
Some people use their lives to buy money, such as: selling coolies to make money;
Some people use their bodies to buy reputation, such as fighting on the battlefield, or studying hard in a cold window;
Some people use reputation to buy power, good for the country and the people, bad for harming the public and enriching themselves...
These are all transactions, and transactions require balance. Once out of balance, there will be a backlash; Tai Chi is all about balance."
Zhang Sulu patiently explained: “Slow down when you need to slow down, go fast when you need to go fast, speed is not inevitable, but necessary;
The specific situation depends on the person and the situation. The final result is to find balance, so Tai Chi has no moves."
"So... what is Tai Chi?" Li Qing asked.
"Tai Chi is about maintaining health. It can nourish people, families, the country, and all living things..." Zhang said with a sloppy smile.
Li Qing seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand very much, frowning and saying nothing.
Zhang Sloppy no longer teaches, he has to understand the truth by himself and make chicken soup by himself.
No matter how much you talk, it's all in vain if you don't understand.
…
After eating and drinking, Li Qing went to pay the bill.
After getting the change, I was about to leave with my master when I met a middle-aged man with his followers, who walked in like a great man. Seeing the master and apprentice blocking the way, he opened his mouth:
"Go away and don't stand in my way."
Li Qing frowned, but didn't say anything. He wouldn't be angry with such a person.
I wanted to take Master away, but these people blocked the door.
"It's fun to watch." Zhang said with a sloppy smile, "Don't worry, you can leave after watching the fun."
Li Qing said with a smile: "Okay."
The voices of the master and apprentice were not too quiet, and the middle-aged man heard them clearly. When he saw that the two men did not pay attention to him at all, a stern look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
However, he had more important things to do. He only glared at the master and apprentice, and then shouted to the cashier: "Where is your shopkeeper?"
The accountant trotted over and accompanied Xing Xin and said with a smile: "It's Mr. Yang. What a coincidence, our shopkeeper... is traveling far away."
"Going far away?" The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "It's okay. It's the same as calling your landlady out."
"The boss's wife... also followed me out of the door." The accountant said bravely.
The middle-aged man's face darkened: "Are you kidding me? Well, I won't marry them anyway, so I'll let you ladies come out to see me."
"Our ladies..."
"You want to die, don't you?" The middle-aged man interrupted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, I won't see you lady for a quarter of an hour, and your legs will be broken."
When Li Qing saw this, he basically understood the situation.
Zhang Slutty patted him on the shoulder and said, "Qingzi, flatten him."
Li Qing couldn't bear to see this kind of thing. Although in this era of lag in information, such incidents could not be prevented, but now that he had caught up with them, he would not sit idly by.
"In broad daylight, with the universe clear, if you act like this, is there any law for it?"
Li Qing didn't want to take action even if he could, otherwise after he left, the family would still be unlucky and even be retaliated against.
"The king's law? What I say is the king's law!" The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "If you have the guts, just report it to the official and see if anyone will take care of you."
Li Qing did not refute. How could this person be so arrogant without a backing?
Just as he was thinking about how to solve it, the middle-aged man attacked first, waving his hand and saying, "Break this blind leg."
Li Qing was speechless.
Seeing five or six retinues rushing up, I had no choice but to take action.
"Bang bang bang...!"
Kicked one by one, the servants couldn't get up in an instant and kept wailing.
"You..." The middle-aged man was shocked and immediately became furious. But as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by severe pain from his wrist, and his face was twisted and hideous.
"Fuck...let it go, let me go."
"Who's behind you?" Li Qing asked.
"You're dead, I'm going to kill you...ahhh...!!!" The middle-aged man's face was full of pain and resentment.
Li Qing let him go and said calmly: "Who is your backstage?"
"I'll scare you to death if I tell you!"
The middle-aged man held his almost broken wrist and gritted his teeth and said, "Please remember this for me. My name is Yang Ji."
"I don't know you!"
"You...father Yang Shiqi!"
"who?"
"Father Yang Shiqi!" Yang Ji shouted.
But as soon as he met Li Qing's deep and cold eyes, his boundless rage suddenly stopped, as if he had fallen into purgatory, fear filled his body, and he felt like he would die immediately if he went down any further.
"Plop..."
Yang Ji's legs went limp uncontrollably. He was kneeling on the ground and became a little angry, but for some strange reason he did not dare to get up.
"Do you know who Yang Shiqi is?"
"I know." Li Qing nodded, "The minister of the Ministry of War is also the cabinet bachelor, right?"
"Now he is the Minister of War!" Yang Ji said bitterly.
He wanted to get up, but his legs felt like they were welded to the ground. Somehow, he had an illusion:
It's okay if you kneel down honestly, but if you don't insist, you'll be in trouble.
