Chapter 182 Although Tai Chi is powerful, it is also the most difficult to practice
According to the etiquette of the ancient martial arts world, both parties cupped their hands and said "please".
Then Ji Chang took the lead, took a few steps quickly, punched out, and walked in the middle. His power was like an arrow leaving the string, and it was as fast as lightning.
This is the Bengquan of the five major boxing styles of Xingyi.
Ye Xingyu hugged his chest with his palms, opening and closing them. He did not resist from the front, but struck from the side. His powerful punch, which was originally straight and straight, was easily deflected by him and hit the empty space.
This is the stroke of the thirteen postures of Tai Chi.
Ji Chang first withdrew his attack quickly, then took a step forward and used the Beng Fist again, still taking the middle path, hitting Ye Xingyu directly in the chest.
Ye Xingyu swung one arm and thrust it upwards, like a spring holding up his fist instantly. Ji Changxian's fist was raised a few inches, and the force floated upward, unable to come down, and missed again.
This is one of the thirteen Tai Chi postures.
Ji Chang's first two punches were fruitless, he frowned, shouted loudly, and then threw the third punch, which was still the collapse fist of Xingyi.
However, Ye Xingyu remained silent and pressed his hands with his palms on his arms, forcing Ji Changxian's fists to sink downwards, but returned without success.
This is one of the thirteen Tai Chi postures.
In just one moment, the two of them had fought for three rounds, but because the punches were so fast, in the eyes of ordinary people, even in the blink of an eye, they couldn't see where the punches were hitting or who was occupying them.
Got the upper hand.
Only ancient warriors who are also ancient warriors, or even ancient warriors who have reached the level of inner strength, can capture the details of the fight between the two people and try to figure out the secrets.
When it comes to Xingyi and Tai Chi, the former is fierce and good at attacking, while the latter is flexible and good at defending. Each has its own strengths. If they are both in the same realm, it will be difficult to distinguish between the three moves and the two styles.
It stands to reason that Ji Changxian has probably touched the threshold of Dan Jin. His own strength is stronger than Ye Xingyu's, and his punch speed is also very fast. It should be easy to gain an advantage.
But Ye Xingyu used Tai Chi to deal with it, avoiding the real and using the weak, using strength to overcome strength, using softness to overcome hardness, which seemed slow but was actually fast. He could always find the weak points between the opponent's moves and strength, and used the weak to overcome the strong, allowing Ji Chang to take the lead.
Every time he tried, he came back in vain.
Ji Changxian has been practicing Xingyi for decades, and it's not like he has never fought against Tai Chi warriors, but he has never felt so aggrieved as now, like a big hammer being smashed into a pile of cotton, without any energy at all.
The opponent's Tai Chi was different from the Tai Chi he had encountered before. It had a strange power that was completely natural and effortless.
It was obviously a punch in the middle, but when it got in front of the opponent, the punch was deflected. It had no lethality at all, and it also suffered a counterattack force, disrupting the rhythm.
Ji Changxian saw this kind of Tai Chi for the first time, and he always felt that his Xingyi Quan technique was just being restrained by the opponent, and he was completely unable to achieve the feel or power.
In fact, the three major internal martial arts have their own strengths. Tai Chi is indeed very powerful, but the form and meaning are not bad either. They are at the same level and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. The actual skill depends on the individual's cultivation level.
and strength.
Ji Changxian has always had strong confidence in his own strength, and he felt that he would not lose to any Tai Chi master of the same level, but why did the fight feel so strange this time? He couldn't use his strength, and his punches just missed, what a ghost!
He didn't know that Ye Xingyu's Tai Chi was not any of the six major schools, nor was it the Tai Chi secretly taught by Wudang, but the Tai Chi Liang Yi Wuji Gong pioneered by Zhang Sanfeng. In terms of mystery, it was better than the most praised Tai Chi nowadays.
Zuo style Tai Chi is even better.
Tai Chi Liang Yi Wuji Gong, also known as Tai Chi Thirteen Movements, the former name is rarely known, while the latter name is widely circulated, many people have heard of it, but only two people have actually practiced it, one is Zhang Sanfeng himself, The other one is Ye Xingyu.
The reason why it is called the Thirteen Positions is because this martial arts has a total of thirteen martial arts techniques, which are: knocking, pushing, squeezing, pressing, picking, pushing, elbow, leaning, advancing, retreating, looking, looking, and settling. .
The first eight types coincide with the Bagua and are called the "Eight Jin".
The last five are the hidden five elements, also known as the "Five Steps".
The eight jins plus five steps are the eight trigrams plus the five elements. There are thirteen in total, which are the thirteen postures of Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is a martial art that emphasizes striking after the attack. It is a martial art that focuses on dismantling and breaking moves. According to the enemy's incoming force, eight different directions of strength and five effective movement steps can be used to crack and counterattack.
The eight jins correspond to the Bagua directions and are divided into four positive jins and four corner jins, that is, the four positive directions of up, down, left, and right, and the four oblique directions of upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right.
Pushing, stroking, squeezing, and pressing are the ridge, separation, and shock, and the four squares are the four positive energies.
Cai, Qi, elbow, and lean are the four oblique angles of Qian, Kun, Gen, and Xun, which are the four corners of strength.
The five steps are simpler, that is, move forward, move backward, dodge left, avoid right, and stay in the center.
Advance, retreat, concern, hope, and concentration represent the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively.
"Advance" and "retreat" literally mean moving forward and retreating, which is not difficult to understand.
"Gu" and "Look", that is, to the left and to the right, come from an idiom called "Look left and look right".
As for "sedation", it means to be still, not moving in place, and not changing position.
It is a simple principle, but it contains infinite mysteries. How to understand it and how to use it is easy to say, but quite difficult in practice.
Just like the Tongshen Fist created by Hua Shentong, it seems that there are only ten moves, but each move has countless changes. It can be transformed into ten, ten into a hundred, and thousands of moves can be evolved at any time. It is simply all-encompassing and infinite. Exhausted.
The Thirteen Movements of Tai Chi are the crystallization of Zhang Sanfeng’s lifelong hard work and wisdom. Naturally, they are not simple. Even the 108 Wudang Tai Chi styles that have been dismantled and subdivided, or the six major schools of Tai Chi that have been modified and created, are also very advanced and not random. It can be mastered easily.
This has created a phenomenon. Everyone knows that Tai Chi is awesome, but there are only a few people who have actually practiced Tai Chi and can do it. Most of them are just flower stands, paper tigers, and glass shards that break at the touch of a touch.
Therefore, among the three major internal martial arts, Tai Chi is the most powerful, the most difficult to practice, and the most doubtful one.
First of all, you must develop dark strength so that Tai Chi can get rid of the reputation of being weak and start to be somewhat useful. This is considered a small success.
This step alone determines that there are not many people who really understand Tai Chi, because there are too few masters in the inner family. Even though the five major families are so powerful, there are only a few in each family.
Only when the Dantian is opened, guided by Qi, and the Qi forces are combined, and is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, can Tai Chi be considered a great success, and its power will be demonstrated at this time.
As for achieving perfection and reaching the peak of practice, one must reach the level of energy transformation, and there are only a few people in the world who have reached this level.
In other words, Tai Chi is slow to get started and slow to achieve results. It is relatively weak in the early stage and can only develop slowly. It must wait until it grows up in the later stage before it can carry the whole audience.
If you can practice it well, then it is true Tai Chi, comparable to the King of Stars; if you cannot practice it well, then it is fake Tai Chi, deceiving people of bronze and silver.
