Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

Lao Zhangtou nodded: "Well, indeed, this Samadhi is really popular. I heard from my father that my grandfather also dared to try it only after he became a golden elixir. I don't know about Tai Chi either. I only know that my grandfather will pull me every morning." Boxing with my father seems to be just a boxing technique in this world.”

"I also asked my grandpa. Grandpa said that the great truth is the most simple. When you practice the fist intention, the movement of the intention will lead to fascination, and the movement of the fascination will move the spirit. In other words, the fist intention can be punched with vigor and energy. But I have not practiced it. Came out."

Lei Ze also picked up a small notebook and wrote it down, meaning, this is another new term.

Lao Zhangtou looked at Lei Ze writing and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that senior is also very interested in Tai Chi."

Indeed, in previous lives, Tai Chi was viewed by many as a health-preserving technique rather than a true martial art. Most of the old people who are enjoying themselves in the park only know its shape but not its meaning. But listening to what Lao Zhang said, Tai Chi here seems to contain a deeper martial arts connotation.

"If senior doesn't dislike it, I can fight for him a few times. It can be regarded as passing on the Nangong family's inheritance before I die."

"Hahahaha, Lao Zhang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and fight."

When Lao Zhangtou heard this, his face twitched, but he immediately got up and went to the yard to demonstrate for Lei Ze.

I saw Lao Zhang's head and left foot separated by half a step, his hands slowly raised in front of him at shoulder height, then he bent his legs and squatted down and pressed his hands down to the front of his abdomen.

"Senior, this is the starting position."

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhang tapped his head and left foot on the ground, held the ball with both hands, turned around and stepped forward...

"Senior, this is mane parting."

.......

Lao Zhangtou panted and finished a set of punches, and Lei Ze also took note of them all. But this thing looks no different from the punches the old man in the park used.

"It looks very ordinary, Lao Zhang." Lei Ze said with a smile.

Lao Zhang replied: "I haven't fought in decades. Senior, you don't have to stick to the form. The key is to look at the meaning. My grandfather said that everyone in Tai Chi understands the meaning of the fist differently. The meaning is different and the form is different." It’s different too.”

Lei Ze also nodded thoughtfully.

"Then how can we realize the meaning?" Lei Ze asked.

"Senior, I don't know either, because I haven't realized it either, but grandpa said that you can understand it if you fight often." Old Zhangtou also said with a look of regret.

The movement of Lao Zhangtou also alarmed Xiaoxianmeng, who also watched her grandpa punch from beginning to end. Grandpa seemed very different today, with his face glowing red, in sharp contrast to his usual sluggishness. Xiao Xianmeng couldn't help but come closer, gently pulled Grandpa's sleeve, and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Grandpa, the Tai Chi you just did was so good. I've never seen you do it before." Xiao Xianmeng blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

"Hahahaha" Lao Zhangtou suddenly laughed happily, "Do you want to learn? Then let your immortal brother teach you."

Then Lao Zhang looked at Lei Ze, who also nodded.

"Okay, okay, Brother Xianren, can you please teach me?" Xiao Xianmeng looked at Lei Ze excitedly, her eyes full of expectation.

Lei Ze smiled and said, "Okay."

Xiao Xianmeng immediately nodded like a fool: "I also want to be as powerful as Brother Xianren to make these people who bully grandpa look good."

Lei Ze was amused by Xiao Xianmeng's words. He lowered his head and touched Xiao Xianmeng's head: "Hahahahahaha. Good, good, good."

After saying that, Lei Ze also walked to the open space, spread his legs apart, slowly raised his hands... and started Tai Chi.

Xiao Xianmeng also imitated Lei Ze's appearance, clumsily. Her small body tried its best to imitate Lei Ze's movements, sometimes swaying left and right, sometimes forgetting where to put her hands, and even shaky in some places.

But her eyes were full of seriousness and enthusiasm. Every time she made a mistake, she would frown and then imitate again.

Lao Zhangtou sat at the door, looking at the two figures in the sun, as if he had returned to the time when he and his grandfather were boxing in the morning.

There were only two figures moving slowly in the entire courtyard. Accompanied by the chirping of insects and the breeze, everything seemed so harmonious and peaceful.

Time passes slowly with the movement of the sun. The two figures sometimes move faster and sometimes slower, dancing freely in this small space with the flow of time.

The setting sun gradually sank to the horizon, dyeing the blue sky into a deep red.

Lao Zhang sat with his head leaning against the door, a warm smile on his face, and a familiar old friend appeared in his heart.

Grandpa's proud alchemy technique, his father's disdainful prohibition on him practicing with the breathing method, Xiao Xianmeng's painful struggle after being thrown into the river, and the scene when he opened his eyes to see Lei Ze.

But now he is not as painful as before. The sunset seems to have a magical power that can heal the wounds deep in his heart. Every ray of the sunset seems to be caressing his soul, giving him comfort and tranquility.

He glanced at the two people who were boxing again and said softly: "Senior, please."

The last red light of the setting sun, like the last warmth in his life, gradually disappeared under the horizon. Lao Zhangtou's breathing gradually became weaker, and the warm smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, quietly ending his life journey.

"Don't worry," Lei Ze replied softly.

"Brother Xianren, why don't you fight?" Xiao Xianmeng asked suspiciously when she saw Lei Ze stop.

Lei Ze didn't reply to her, but just looked at the door of the cabin.

Xiao Xianmeng also looked towards the door and found her grandfather sitting by the door with a smile on his face, as if he was asleep.

Xianmeng hurriedly ran to the door and said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, today Xianmeng feels much stronger than before. I will be like Xianren brother in the future. I will no longer be afraid of those strange people in the village."

"Grandpa, when can I go out? It's spring now. I heard from the adults that it should be a good season for farming. We still have some seeds at home, so why don't we plant them all. I feel like I'm stronger now than before. It’s a lot, so I can definitely plow the land well.”

"grandfather..."

But Lao Zhangtou did not respond. He still had that peaceful smile on his face, as if he had seen something beautiful in his dream.

"Brother Immortal, what's wrong with grandpa? Is he sick again? Please help grandpa quickly."

"Your grandfather has gone to another world. Maybe he will become a master, maybe a farmer, maybe an immortal, maybe he has become loess."

Xiao Xianmeng was stunned there, stroking the peaceful smile on her grandfather's face with her fingers. Her eyes were full of confusion and sadness. She cried and asked Lei Ze, "Then I won't be able to see grandpa anymore."

Xiaoxian Meng burst into tears: "But I still have a lot of things to say to grandpa. I also want to tell him about my daily progress, and I want to share my happiness and sadness with him."

Lei Ze gently held Xiao Xianmeng in his arms and stroked her hair: "Maybe this is the last thing grandpa taught you, to face death bravely."
