Chapter 128 Tai Chi Sword Art
Bringing Bai Shu to a pool in the back mountain, Zhang Sanfeng sat on a bluestone by the bank, and said leisurely: "Young Master Wei, I see that your behavior is quite grand, who did you learn from?"

"Family teacher Wu Lie, the ancestor is the senior Wu Santong who followed Master Yideng back then."

Bai Shu explained.

"Oh?"

Zhang Sanfeng said in surprise: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei is the Queen of Loyalty."

He also knew the deeds of Wu Santong's guarding in Xiangyang back then, so he would talk about the loyal queen.

After a pause, he said again: "In this way, Mr. Wei must have practiced the Yiyang Finger of Master Yideng?"

"Yes."

Bai Shu nodded: "However, this junior has learned a lot, and he also learned a few styles of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, as well as some foreign martial arts."

"One yang finger, eighteen dragon-subduing palms..."

Zhang Sanfeng repeated several times in a low voice, and suddenly said: "Young Master Wei, I wonder if you have discovered one thing, that is, including the few kung fu you have practiced, almost all the martial arts cheats in the world are in this pursuit Vigorous, the pursuit of speed?"

"Well, Master Zhang, shouldn't we as martial arts practitioners pursue these things?"

Although he knew what Zhang Sanfeng was going to say next, Bai Shu asked in cooperation.

"otherwise."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said: "There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching": Nothing in the world is weaker than water, but no one can win against a strong one. Can you know what this sentence means?"

"This sentence means that there is nothing weaker than water in the world, but if it is used to attack toughness, there is also nothing stronger than water."

Bai Shu replied.

"That's right, has that young master ever thought about why this phenomenon happened?"

Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"Junior Yulu, I really never thought about it."

Bai Shu shook his head.

"That's right, it's not just the young master who hasn't thought about it, how many people in this world have thought about it?"

Zhang Sanfeng smiled suddenly, and said: "I am old but not talented, so I like to do these tricky things. After these years of thinking, I really discovered some principles of martial arts."

"What is it?"

Knowing that Zhang Sanfeng was going to explain the principles of Taijiquan next, Bai Shu's voice softened a bit.

"Conquer rigidity with softness, brake with stillness, and strike later!"

Zhang Sanfeng said every word clearly.

"The juniors don't understand..."

Hearing the core points of Taijiquan, Bai Shu almost held his breath, waiting for Zhang Sanfeng's next narration.

"First of all, this is how to overcome rigidity with softness,"

Zhang Sanfeng didn't answer right away, but stared at the lake and suddenly asked: "Young Master Wei, how do you think the softest water in the world can penetrate a boulder?"

Bai Shu thought for a while, "Water dripping through a stone...the key is persistence. If it hadn't been for the water dripping for several years, or even dozens of years, this boulder might not be pierced by water."

"Not bad!"

Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Bai Shu approvingly, and said: "This is the key point that the old Taoist only figured out after thinking hard for several days."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Water dripping through stone requires perseverance, and martial arts also requires persistence!"

He stood up from the boulder and said: "When we were practicing martial arts, our teacher taught us that to do 'intention to punch first', that is to ask us to know what we know first when we make a move, and not to be controlled by the body. ruled the mind."

"good."

Bai Shu nodded.

Although Wu Lie's kung fu is not well-known in the arena, he has also taught the most basic truth of Baishu.

"But apart from aiming at the punch first, the old Taoist also comprehended another equally important truth from the water drop through the stone."

Zhang Sanfeng said: "That's unceasing mind!"

Without waiting for Bai Shu to ask, Zhang Sanfeng explained on his own: "The so-called unceasing mind means that when we face the enemy, we must keep our mind and fist uninterrupted, just like the water drops that are constantly dripping, persevere! "

Bai Shu was thoughtful: "Dr. Zhang wants us to achieve 'continuous vigor and determination'?"

He remembered that in Yitian Tulongji, Zhang Sanfeng explained to Zhang Wuji the principle of "constant determination".

"Continuous determination?"

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up, he clapped his palms and said with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Wei, your words sum it up very well, yes, it's just continuous determination!"

"Then what is the meaning of the so-called 'braking with stillness'?"

Bai Shu continued to ask.

"First of all, Mr. Wei, you need to know that the word 'quiet' in 'to stop with stillness' does not mean stillness."

Zhang Sanfeng explained: "The 'quietness' is only relative to the enemy's 'movement'. It must be known that there is no reason in the world that motion is better than motion."

Bai Shu nodded to express his understanding.

"Secondly, this 'static braking' is to be linked with 'later strike'."

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and said: "There is a saying in the art of war: It is better to be still than to move. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move first. This set of swordsmanship developed by the old master pays attention to the absolute speed within the size of a millimeter." , and only in this way can we achieve a late attack!"

Bai Shu suddenly realized.

He had always been a little puzzled before, why Taijiquan, which is so slow and slow in martial arts, can achieve a late attack, and now he heard Zhang Sanfeng's explanation, and then he understood the whole story.

Next, Zhang Sanfeng explained in detail the profound meaning of Tai Chi swordsmanship to Bai Shu.

As a visitor from later generations, Bai Shu already had a lot of understanding about Taijiquan in his mind, so every time he interspersed a sentence in Zhang Sanfeng's explanation, it would attract Zhang Sanfeng's attention.

Sometimes, some unique views put forward by Bai Shu even made him feel like a treasure.

As a result, Zhang Sanfeng, who originally only planned to explain Baishu for a few days, got out of hand and left Baishu in Wudang Mountain for more than two months.

……

"Mr. Wei, although you are asking me for sword skills from the old Taoist, but from the old Taoist point of view, I have learned a lot from you. If I drink and peck, maybe the old Taoist took advantage of you. "

On this day, Zhang Sanfeng, who felt that he had already taught all Taiji swordsmanship to Baishu, sighed.

"Master Zhang, please don't say that,"

Bai Shu hurriedly said: "Thanks to Master Zhang for not disliking him, this junior was able to get a glimpse of the highest esoteric martial art of 'stopping with stillness, and attacking later'. I am too grateful. How dare I take credit for it?"

Bai Shu is telling the truth.

Although he hadn't fully comprehended Taiji swordsmanship in these two months, the relevant principles had been deeply embedded in his memory and turned into his own knowledge.

Perhaps his strength on paper has not improved, but his martial arts cultivation has improved by not a little bit. When he learns new cheat knowledge in the future, these things will bring him great benefits.

In layman's terms, according to Xianxia's novels, in the past two months, Bai Shu's spiritual cultivation has been greatly improved, laying a solid foundation for his future strength improvement.

"Forget it, since Mr. Wei doesn't want to take credit for it, the old Taoist will stop talking. By the way, Mr. Wei has any opinions on the name of this set of sword techniques?"

Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"Well... this set of swordsmanship has completely different principles from the previous martial arts cheats, and it can even be said to open up a new world of martial arts. Why not... call it Tai Chi swordsmanship."

Bai Shu directly said the original answer without blushing.

"Tai Chi?"

Hearing this word, Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he murmured to himself: "Taiji produces Liangyi, Liangyi transforms into four phenomena, and four phenomena produce gossip... Taiji is the beginning of all things, the source of heaven and earth."

Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Young Master Wei, it seems that you have great expectations for this old way of swordsmanship."

Bai Shu nodded with a smile, and said: "For the younger generation, this sword technique is indeed like reopening another universe for my martial arts path. The word Taiji is perfect."

"Haha, okay, the old Daoist thinks that the word Tai Chi is a bit exaggerated, but since even Mr. Wei has such confidence in this set of swordsmanship, then this set of swordsmanship is called Taiji Swordsmanship!"

Hearing Bai Shu's words, Zhang Sanfeng was also suddenly full of pride.
