Dragon's Origin

Chapter 258: Guiding Tai Chi (Part 1)

Wang Sheng's Tai Chi Quan has reached a state of perfection under the simulation and calculation of the combat awareness little man, and through the year-long tempering of carving the Three Pure Ones giant statue.

If we were to compare pure power, Wang Sheng would definitely not be a match for the old Taoist priest. But when it comes to the understanding and comprehension of Tai Chi Quan, to put it bluntly, Wang Sheng can definitely compete with the old Taoist priest on equal footing.

The old Taoist priest asked Wang Sheng to show the Grand Master a set of Tai Chi Quan, and Wang Sheng didn't decline. After all, he was the one who proposed this concept in the first place, so what was there to be shy about?

He stepped into the open space, stood still, and Wang Sheng first recited the general outline of Tai Chi Quan: "Tai Chi originates from Wuji, the mechanism of movement and stillness, the mother of Yin and Yang."

Starting stance, parting the wild horse's mane to the left and right, white crane spreads its wings, embracing the knees and twisting steps to the left and right, advancing to block, parry, and punch, closing as if sealed, single whip, playing the pipa… a series of moves flowed smoothly from Wang Sheng's hands.

The old Taoist priest had already been studying it for several years, and his understanding was slightly different from Wang Sheng's. Watching Wang Sheng perform it, the old Taoist priest gained even more insights and couldn't help but nod repeatedly. If Wang Sheng hadn't been performing and he was afraid of missing the later moves, the old Taoist priest would have immediately jumped down to perform a set himself and have Wang Sheng comment on it.

The Grand Master was originally a Taoist master. As soon as he heard the general outline of the boxing manual, he felt that it was extraordinary. Then, watching Wang Sheng's smooth and flowing boxing technique, even the Grand Master, who had always shown a peaceful attitude, couldn't help but widen his eyes and radiate excited light, for fear of missing one or two movements in the blink of an eye. He almost took out a digital camera to record it.

Those who knew the goods all had this kind of expression. At first glance, it was definitely a Taoist family's inherited boxing technique. At this time, the Grand Master realized what kind of treasure this young friend that the ancestor knew was.

The Nine Character Incantation that he casually took out, the Tai Chi Quan that he casually took out, these two things could definitely make the group of old experts in the Old Monarch Temple who were old and didn't care about worldly affairs become obsessed to the point of being possessed. In addition, what was that half of the 《Tao Te Ching》? Could there be a Taoist scripture handed down to the world?

While he was pondering, Wang Sheng had already finished a simple routine, clapped his hands, and finished.

"Good kid, you've improved again!" The old Taoist priest praised, and then jumped down himself: "Come and take a look at mine. Recently, I always feel that something is wrong in some places. See where it is wrong."

As he said that, the old Taoist priest stood still like Wang Sheng, and then began to start the stance, parting the wild horse's mane to the left and right, white crane spreads its wings, embracing the knees and twisting steps to the left and right… a set of moves, exactly the same as Wang Sheng's just now, but the old Taoist priest's performance had a different flavor, seeming more calm and natural, and more effortless.

The Grand Master already felt that his eyes were not enough, wishing he could rub Wang Sheng and the old Taoist priest's postures into his mind. This boxing technique was broad and profound. After watching it only twice, he couldn't help but want to close his eyes and ponder it, and then go down to the field to perform it himself. Just by watching the two people's boxing routines, he could feel the comfort from the bottom of his heart.

This was definitely a Taoist family's inherited boxing technique. Where did this young man Wang Sheng, who was only in his early twenties, learn this boxing technique? Was it from some Taoist hidden world old ancestor? But as far as the Grand Master knew, in the history of Taoism, except for the Old Monarch, there had never been such a brilliant predecessor. Could it be that the Old Monarch taught Wang Sheng?

From the beginning, the Grand Master didn't believe that this level of Taoist boxing technique could be created by a young man like Wang Sheng? The Nine Character Incantation was also the same. How familiar would one have to be with Taoist scriptures, and how thoroughly would one have to understand the Taoist classics to be able to create the magical power of these Nine Character Incantations with great perseverance and great determination.

But even if he didn't believe it, the Grand Master just didn't believe that Wang Sheng could create these himself, but he didn't disbelieve that these were all Taoist family's inherited secret classics. Was it possible for the Grand Master to spit out something that had already reached his mouth?

While the Grand Master was thinking, Wang Sheng was concentrating on watching the old Taoist priest's boxing stance. To be honest, the boxing stance was very solid, the moves and routines were all correct, and even the intention and force were completely correct. In this regard, the old Taoist priest could be Wang Sheng's teacher.

It's just that he didn't know where it looked a little uncoordinated. It wasn't unnatural, but uncoordinated. In fact, the old Taoist priest's movements were not only natural and smooth, but also very ornamental, but there was a bit of inconsistency in the aura.

Looking at the old Taoist priest's serious face, Wang Sheng's heart moved, and he suddenly realized where the old Taoist priest's problem was.

After the old Taoist priest finished playing, he didn't even look at the Grand Master, just stared at Wang Sheng, waiting for Wang Sheng to comment on him.

"I'll play it again, you take a look." Looking at the old Taoist priest's expectant gaze, Wang Sheng suddenly remembered a movie on Earth, related to Tai Chi Quan, starring Jet Li, 《Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng》.

He stepped into the open space, stood still, started the stance, still the same movements as before, nothing changed, but Wang Sheng's mouth suddenly sang a different kind of song.

"Swords and shadows are not my school, the sky is wide and the sea is vast, I have my own style.

Pushing both hands, neither black nor white.

Not good or bad, without victory, where does defeat come from.

Without going, where does coming come from, holding no sword in hand, no dust in the heart is my mind.

Following fate and riding the wind is my mind.

Verbal battles do not suit my style, the sky is wide and the sea is vast, that is my style.

Pushing both hands, neither empty nor solid,

Not slow or fast, without victory, where does defeat come from.

Without movement, where does stillness come from, holding no sword in hand, no dust in the heart is my mind.

Following fate and riding the wind is my mind."

This time, Wang Sheng played boxing with the song, and when the spiritual energy started, the fallen leaves on the ground gathered towards Wang Sheng's hands, actually forming a leaf ball like in the movie.

He could control the speed, and when the song ended, it was also the time when the boxing routine was finished. Wang Sheng took a closing stance, stood tall, and the force that had constrained the leaf ball disappeared, and with a soft bang, all the leaves were shaken into powder, which was centered on Wang Sheng and scattered into a standard circle.

That's not all, when the leaf powder slowly fell to the ground, the old Taoist priest and the Grand Master realized that a complete Tai Chi diagram had formed under Wang Sheng's feet.

From the time Wang Sheng started singing and boxing to the end, the old Taoist priest was completely immersed in the artistic conception sung by the song 《Following Fate》. Neither black nor white, not slow or fast, without victory, where does defeat come from? It was really every word was precious, allowing the old Taoist priest to be immersed in a unique artistic conception from the inside out and unable to extricate himself.

"Old Taoist, your boxing is good, there is no one in the world who can play better than you." Wang Sheng finally opened his mouth at this time: "But you are already invincible in the world, why is your heart for victory and defeat still so heavy?"
