Chapter 310: The Status Quo of Learning Taijiquan and Leopard Ball
Li Youran exited the space and saw that the sky outside was gradually dimming. The quartz clock on the wall showed that it was time for dinner. *** He immediately went downstairs, took out a few frozen buns from the refrigerator, and put them into the steamer in the kitchen.
Steam it.
While waiting, he took out his mobile phone and found that there were two missed calls on it, both from Sun Xiaoying in the afternoon.
So he called back. After the call was answered, Sun Xiaoying asked him why his call couldn't be reached? Had he finished the things at home and when would he go back?
Li Youran made up an excuse that he forgot to charge his cell phone, and told the little girl that the matter with the property company had been taken care of, and he would go back to Baozi Shop early tomorrow morning, and asked her to pay attention there at night.
After dinner, Li Youran felt a little tired. After all, he had experienced a lot today and had done a lot of work in the space, which was quite tiring. So he washed up and went to bed early.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Youran woke up very early, stretched himself out of bed, and opened the west window. The fresh morning breeze quickly poured in, which refreshed his spirit and made him feel sleepy.
He looked up at the time and saw that the hour hand pointed to six o'clock. He had never gotten up so early before. At this time, he suddenly became interested. The air was so good that he might as well go for a jog by the lake, because he could keep fit by doing farm work.
I haven’t done any dedicated exercise for a long time.
Thinking of this, he simply washed up, put on a short-sleeved T-shirt, changed into a pair of sneakers, and went out for a jog towards Mingcui Lake.
The lake brings gusts of breeze, which is cool and moist. Although it is not as fresh and pure as the space, it has reached a first-class health level from the outside world.
Li Youran started running along the lakeside path. He had plenty of energy, brisk steps, and coordinated and relaxed movements. His body had not become stiff due to lack of exercise. After going back and forth twice, there was a slight sweat on his forehead, which made him feel wet all over.
Wear comfortable.
At this time, he saw an old man in white doing morning exercises under a big weeping willow by the lake. He saw him squatting down with his legs bent at the knees, and slowly raising his arms forward, as high as shoulder level and shoulder level.
Same width, palms facing down. This position should be the starting position of Tai Chi routine.
Li Youran was interested for a moment, so he ran closer to take a look.
This old man has gray hair and a goatee. He looks very old. What is rare is that he has a rosy complexion, good energy and extraordinary bearing. This is rare among the elderly.
He had seen the style of the white clothes on TV. It was the so-called double-buttoned Tai Chi training clothes. It looked very professional. {Updates uploaded by book friends}
The old man was not affected by him. His body turned slightly to the right, and his center of gravity moved to his right leg. At the same time, his right arm was folded flat in front of his chest, with his palm facing downwards. His left hand passed in front of his body and arced downward to the right, to the palm of his hand.
Upward, the palms of both hands face each other in a ball-hugging shape; the left foot is then brought to the inside of the right foot, the toes point to the ground, and a set of Tai Chi is performed.
Li Youran didn't take it seriously at first, because there were many elderly people practicing Tai Chi in the park. It was very common.
But soon, he felt that the person in front of him was extraordinary. He saw that the old man had a strong posture, gentle movements, light and agile, hard and soft, light and natural, like flowing clouds and flowing water, continuous and continuous.
Although Li Youran was an outsider, he felt extremely relaxed when he saw it.
Not long after, the old man finished practicing a set of movements, exhaled and stopped.
"Okay!" Li Youran couldn't help but cheer.
"Oh, little friend, do you also know Tai Chi?" The old man looked at him and asked with a smile. His voice was loud and powerful, full of energy.
"Haha, old man, actually I don't understand this either, I just look at Shu Tan." Li Youran responded, he had a good impression of the old man in front of him.
"Hey, it's rare. Very few young people like this nowadays. Even if they want to practice, most of them learn Taekwondo or Karate. They don't look down on our old antiques anymore." The old man sighed.
"That's because they don't understand. Old man, look at how energetic you are. You must have been practicing this for many years, right?" Li Youran asked.
"Haha, I have been practicing this for almost thirty years. Why, if you are interested, little friend, I will teach you how to do it." The old man suddenly put on the air of being a teacher.
Li Youran, who was already easy-going, became interested after hearing this, so he stepped forward and cupped his hand, asking for his advice.
The old man told him that Tai Chi has a profound origin with Taoism in ancient China. It is a kind of martial art that synthesizes various boxing techniques from all ages, combines the ancient Daoyin and Breathing techniques, and absorbs classical philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine theory.
It is a soft, slow, and agile boxing technique that is practiced both internally and externally. The word "Tai Chi" comes from the "Book of Changes" and contains the meaning of supreme, extreme, absolute, and only. It is the fusion of the dialectical theoretical thinking of the Chinese nation and martial arts, art, and guidance.
Perfect combination is also a high-level human body culture.
The exercise I practice belongs to the Yang style Tai Chi school. The exercise steps focus on moving from looseness to softness, accumulating softness into hardness, combining hardness and softness. The hands are like dribbling, and the Jewish body is perfectly rounded. Therefore, it is suitable for cultivating the body, nourishing the energy, and treating diseases and health care.
, prolongs life and is also suitable for people with good physical strength to enhance their physical fitness and improve their martial arts skills.
The old man first taught Li Youran a few basic movements, starting from the stance, parting the mane of a wild horse on the left and right, spreading the wings of a white crane, clasping the knees on the left and right, waving the pipa, curling the arms left and right, holding the bird's tail on the left, and holding the bird's tail on the right.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him had a very high level of understanding, and he quickly mastered the skill and became quite fluent. He couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
In this way, an old man and a young man practiced by the lake for about half an hour. The old man said he wanted to go home for breakfast.
"That's it for today. You go back and practice by yourself, and I'll teach you something new next time. My surname is Qu, and I live in No. 78 over there." Mr. Qu liked this studious young man very much, so he asked himself
Report home.
"My name is Li Youran, Mr. Qu. What a coincidence. We are neighbors. I am in the No. 76 courtyard just a block away." Li Youran said in surprise. Nowadays, this kind of high-end villa community and apartment buildings in the city are also
Not much difference, not many neighbors interact with each other. I didn’t expect to bump into him today.
Mr. Qu couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard this. He said that he and Xiao Li were very close and would visit his house in a few days.
Li Youran naturally welcomed him very much. He felt that this old man and Tai Chi were both to his liking.
The two said goodbye, and Li Youran returned to his home. He had gained a lot this morning. He practiced these Tai Chi styles and felt that his whole body's energy and blood were smooth, very comfortable, and he was in a happy mood. It seems that more exercise in the future will definitely have benefits.
A lot.
After having breakfast, he locked the door and drove towards the city. As for the safety of his home, there was no need to worry. Something had just happened and the security department of the property would probably have to worry about it for a while.
Fifty minutes later, Li Youran came to the backyard of Baozipu, turned on the handbrake and got out of the car. Just as he was passing by the passage between the two courtyards, he happened to see the guy on a bicycle coming back with a leopard ball.
When Leopard Ball saw him, he barked and jumped forward with all his strength. The leash was so straight that he almost tore the guy off the bicycle.
Seeing that he couldn't hold him back, the guy had to loosen the leash. Leopard Ball quickly rushed to Li Youran, not caring whether his feet were dirty or not. He stood upright, put his two front paws on his left arm and chest, and stuck out his tongue, haha
Panting, looking very excited.
"Haha, you guy has grown up a lot." Li Youran touched its big head and tugged on its two towering big ears. The ears were thick and firm, and they felt good to the touch.
Leopard Ball is growing and developing rapidly, his thick coat is black and shiny, and his front page is becoming more and more majestic. He is already a handsome boy.
While one person and one dog were making out, Uncle Qi heard Leopard Ball barking in the yard and came out of the building to take a look.
"Ranzi, come here." He greeted.
"Hey, Uncle Qi, Leopard Ball looks pretty good, thank you for your hard work." Li Youran responded.
"Oh, it's nothing. Just leave our water and food. This guy can eat and drink, and he even goes out for running and exercise every day. It's normal to be strong." Uncle Qi explained modestly,
At the same time, he looked at the dog lovingly.
"Yes, the hair on the back is so long, it's almost as long as the oil. I think it can be used as an advertisement for a shoe polish factory, um, Leopard sneaker cream, the leather shoes are black and shiny. Haha." Li Youran patted Leopard Ball on the back.
, I compiled two advertising slogans by the way.
Uncle Qi and his assistants all became happy when they heard this. Baoqiu couldn't understand what he was talking about, but seeing that everyone was happy, he naturally became very excited and put his head straight into his arms.
Li Youran felt the power of the leopard ball and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday and the story of the two tragic big wolf dogs that Manager Wu of the property company told him, and his face gradually darkened.
The golden eagle is a national first-level protected animal. Even if it hurts someone, the owner will be fined at most, but it will not be a big deal. The leopard ball is different. There are no protection regulations for dogs. Not only that, but also for large-scale dogs.
For dogs, they can't even get an ID card, so they are a typical "black house". If they bite someone without supervision, it will be a big sin.
Uncle Qi looked at his words and saw that his expression was not right, so he waved his hand and asked the waiter to go about it.
"Ranzi, what happened?" He asked with concern.
Li Youran sighed and told the story of the golden eagle attacking people and wolf dogs at home, and at the same time expressed his worries about the leopard ball.
After hearing this, Uncle Qi first said that the thief deserved it, and then he shook his head and sighed at the fate of the wolf dog behind him, and was quite confused.
Then, he persuaded Li Youran not to worry. Leopard Ball is much smarter than other dogs. Now when he sees a stranger, he usually doesn't bark, but just stares at him with vigilance and observes the other person's behavior. If the other person doesn't behave out of the ordinary,
It will not take the initiative to attack if it moves. Of course, it is even more impossible for a stranger to approach it.
Li Youran felt much relieved after hearing this, and asked Baoqiu to review a few command movements, and Baoqiu completed them one by one faithfully and accurately.
Li Youran chatted with Uncle Qi about the precautions for raising a dog, and told him not to tell anyone what happened just now. He then left and went upstairs to his office. (..)
