The night was falling, and a short lantern hung under the eaves of the pavilion. Suddenly a lantern burst out, illuminating the faces of the two veterans for a moment, and then dimmed again.
Gongsun Zhenren raised his head and looked at the four disciples who were watching, and said with a smile: "Master Yuchi is a master of Chinese chess, so don't be fooled by his nonsense. A truly wise man will act like a fool!"
"When the four disciples saw that the master did not chase him away, they relaxed and stood aside to watch the two men playing chess.
Master Yuchi put one hand on the scattered chess board, picked out the black stones one by one, and put them in the chess basket. Then he pushed the remaining white stones, and then smiled and said: "I am ashamed to be called a national player! Even though Brother Xuantong is dissatisfied,
There is no need to praise Brother Fool like this. The game is like a battle formation, with an attack hidden inside. You can injure the enemy by one thousand and injure yourself by eight hundred. Even if you defeat the enemy, you will suffer most of your own casualties. At the end of each game, you deserve a 'miserable victory'.
Two words."
Gongsun Zhenren also put the white chess away, smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Brother Yuchi, there is a mystery in his words. He is secretive and secretive, but he is not like the past. Why don't you express your feelings directly?"
Master Yuchi was not polite. He stretched out his hand and pressed a sunspot on the "Tian Yuan" position: "Soldiers are also deceitful! And my prosperous dynasty advocated martial arts and made many attacks. This is the origin of the disaster. All generals are like '
This is the motto of "Essence of this, growth of the other", as if by killing all the enemies, I will always win. For example, stone grinders, rolling weights, and grinding discs all have tooth patterns. If they grind against each other, over time, the tooth patterns will become damaged. Who can say victory?
Defeated? Therefore, the reason for going to war is not to refuse to fight out of fear of death, but because the original intention is to 'reduce killing and maintain peace'."
Gongsun Zhenren surrounded the white chess piece and said with a smile: "Although the war has calmed down now, the country has been injured and the people's livelihood is in ruins. Besides, the disadvantages of killing and attacking are not even mending the situation. When it comes to using troops to attack.
, just like this chess game between you and me, it is nothing more than "bullying the few with more, calculating mentally but not intentionally". What is the use of one stone? If it is not surrounded by three, four or even more white stones, how can we capture one?
Erheizi? This is bullying the few with more."
Gongsun Zhenren paused for a moment, and then blocked Zhenren Yuchi with one move: "And you and I are playing chess, just like two generals, black and white, sitting in camp. What we fight for is only our minds and our strength. If you haven't thought about it, I can do it."
If you think a few steps ahead, or even set up an ambush, then the situation behind you will only be dangerous. Or if I am mentally and physically weak and cannot calculate a few more steps, but you are mentally strong and have plans all over the situation, then I will also be defeated.
The end result. This is calculated with intention but without intention."
Master Yuchi smiled easily, but Heizi was in the middle of death. He suddenly felt hope and said: "It's just a game of chess. It was just a casual conversation, but I didn't expect you to analyze it so seriously and thoroughly. As you said, just go ahead a few steps."
In the military history of the ten dynasties, there are no examples of "outnumbered enemies and many" or "weak defeated strong"?"
Seeing the stalemate on the chessboard, Gongsun Zhenren hurriedly made another move in the distance and said with a smile: "That's exactly what it means! If you are ten, besiege it, if it is five, attack it, if it is doubled, fight it. If you are evenly matched, then fight it.
When the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, we will flee. If we don’t have a perfect plan, we can’t send thousands of troops!”
Master Yuchi shook his head helplessly: "Nowadays, in the prosperous dynasty, the civil servants have violated the law, the military officials have taken over, the discipline has been weak, and chaos has emerged. Even if you want to use Huang Lao's way to unify it, I'm afraid it will be too late. Although the soldiers are fierce, the people are still alive.
Avoid it for fear of not being able to do it, but if a saint has no choice but to use it, what can Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism influence?"
Gongsun Zhenren also smiled and sighed: "The Taoist brother Yuchi's rebellious words just now, the old Taoist's ears and eyes are dim, so he can't hear clearly. Therefore, the Taoists talk in peace, the Confucians seek justice, and the Buddhists seek liberation. In the end, in front of the king's swords and soldiers,
It will not help the situation. If you are not willing to follow it, you will have no choice but to ascend in the daytime and achieve benevolence and nirvana."
Master Yuchi smiled with relief and said: "Let's just play chess. Why worry about the country and the people? It's not the burden of Taoists. It's not my generation to overstep one's duties!" After saying this, he put another sunspot on the key point.
Without thinking, Master Gongsun followed up with one move... In this way, you came and went, and after several rounds, the full moon was already hanging in the center of the dark dome, and Master Yuchi also yawned.
Gongsun Zhenren looked around. The disciples could no longer bear the sleepiness and went back to the guest room to rest. Then he stood up, raised his hands to Zhenren Yuchi and said, "Brother Yuchi! How about we just call it a day? Get some rest early and see you tomorrow."
Master Yuchi stretched his shoulders and arms, and then he also cupped his hands and said: "Brother Xuantong, I feel very sad after listening to your words all night! It is true that a thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a confidant is hard to find, so I'll see you tomorrow!" The two of them said goodbye.
Then they all took a rest.
Being in the city of Luoyang and living as guests, Yang Zhaoxi and other four disciples woke up the next morning, washed and dressed, and then went to Gongsun Zhenren's room to say hello. Gongsun Zhenren briefly said some scriptures and explained them.
He said solemnly: "Last night I made an agreement with Temple Master Yuchi to demonstrate some boxing and kicks in the martial arts arena in the courtyard after breakfast. Temple Master Yuchi is a master of boxing, and the 'Seizing Fist' passed down from his clan,
It is also the first-class boxing technique that shocked the three armies when the Sheng Dynasty was founded. This opportunity only comes once. The four of you must observe it carefully and ask questions if you don't understand." The four disciples agreed, then stood up with Gongsun Zhenren and started talking together.
Exited the guest room.
In the wide courtyard, some ground stone slabs still exist, but some places are damaged. Only the area of the martial arts field is neatly covered with bluestone. There are several thick wooden stakes on the bluestone ground, and the wooden stakes are inserted in various directions.
There are many thick wooden sticks, all of which are smooth and discernible. There are two weapon racks next to the martial arts arena. Wooden knives, swords, spears, spears, halberds, halberds and other weapons are all available, which is quite spectacular.
Several young Taoist priests and Taoist boys were standing in the martial arts arena, practicing their fists and weapons without any uniform rhythm. Yesterday, the Chuanzongzi Fang Qidou and the Chao Zongzi Lian Jiangping were also among them.
One wields two short daggers, while the other wields a mace, both made of wood. Sometimes the two practice on their own, and sometimes they take advantage of the opponent's opportunity to attack and exchange a few moves, but they can't see any difference.
Master Gongsun and the four disciples watched from a distance for a while, before Master Yuchi walked out of his room and looked here with a smile. Master Gongsun led his disciples, bypassed the martial arts field, and walked towards Master Yuchi. He handed over his hands.
He smiled and said: "Master Yuchi is well!"
Master Yuchi yawned to himself, looked at the activities on the martial arts field, and laughed at himself: "These boys are quite diligent. They get up so early to practice, but the old master wakes up late! Brother Xuantong, let's go to the Zhaiyuan first.
Eat some breakfast, and come to the martial arts field later. I have been holding back for two or three days, and I have long wanted to see your 'Cuiyun Dao Kung'. It is really mysterious in boxing theory and has endless aftertaste... tsk tsk!"
Gongsun Zhenren smiled: "Master Yuchi is worthy of being a martial arts idiot, and his pursuit of martial arts is even better than when he was young." After saying this, the group followed Zhenren Yuchi into the courtyard and sat around in a room.
Down.
Soon a Taoist priest brought bowls and chopsticks, and then brought up a wooden basin with steaming corn rice and a wooden spoon inserted diagonally into it. Master Yuchi stood up and took it from Master Gongsun's hand first.
The porcelain bowl was filled with corn, and then he passed the wooden spoon to the Taoist priest Dian Zao and asked him to serve rice to Yang Zhaoxi and the other four people. After everyone was polite, they all sat down to eat.
The breakfast meal was simple. A few people had just finished eating. Master Yuchi had already picked up Master Gongsun and walked eagerly to the martial arts field. The four disciples were stunned for a moment and hurried to catch up. Several Taoist priests were still practicing in the martial arts field.
Jiang Ping's mace roared in the wind, and struck at Fang Qidou's head, heart, and lower body respectively, but was held firmly by his two short daggers, preventing him from making any progress. Lian Jiang Ping turned the handle of the hammer upside down and swept across it.
Fang Qidou's shins were lightly pushed by him and he dodged. Master Yuchi cleared his throat several times before several Taoist priests stopped their movements and saluted Master Yuchi and Master Gongsun together.
Master Yuchi took a step forward and said seriously: "Master Gongsun Temple was a good friend of mine in the past. Not only is he rich in economics, but he is also very skilled in martial arts! I am honored to invite him to our Hongdao Temple as a guest. Today, I just want to demonstrate the 'Cuiyun Taoist Skill'.
My eyes are so blessed!" Upon hearing this, several disciples in the martial arts field became delighted. One little Taoist boy even ran away happily to call other brothers and sisters to come and watch.
Gongsun Zhenren looked at all the Taoists with a smile. After listening to what he said, he shouted: "Disciples, form an array!" Yang Zhaoxi and other four disciples stood in a square on the martial arts field. Fangzhen followed behind Gongsun Zhenren, five of them.
Practice it neatly——
It is as quiet as sitting in the north of Mang Mountain, moving like the trees shaking in the wind, advancing like the sky light shining through the clouds, retreating like the river tide gradually leveling off, rising like the shadow of a lonely Hong Farewell, falling like jade fragments swirling in the sky, as peaceful as a small room ordering tea, and as dangerous as a general in a Guangsha building.
Qing...the intention is in front of the move, the moves are continuous, looking in all directions, the hips are steady and the arms are round. It is really a good set of boxing techniques with Taoist charm!
Master Yuchi felt itchy after seeing it, and wished he could pounce on it, take out this boxing technique from Master Gongsun's head, and stuff it into his own head. Although the disciples watching in Hongdao Temple seemed to understand, they also felt that this boxing technique was really special.
The meaning was in it, so they stood on the edge in twos and threes, their limbs stiff and imitated.
After performing "Cuiyun Dao Kung" once, the starting and ending moves are exactly the same. In other words, as long as the physical strength does not stop and the spirit does not weaken, this boxing technique can be continued.
Manpower is sometimes scarce! Hard bridges and hard horses, and there are countless boxing techniques for fierce fighting and killing, but they all require physical strength and energy to support. The uniqueness of this "Cuiyun Taoist" boxing method is that it does not require too much physical strength and energy
, and if this kind of boxing theory could really be used to fight the enemy... it would be really scary!
However, a sudden change occurred! Just when Gongsun Zhenren finished his attack and was about to go to the side to rest, a figure suddenly pounced on him. A fist that was like a mountain and stone, carrying a strong wind, was rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes...
