"Zhenzhen Zhang, after I became a disciple of the Emei Sect, my master taught me the Emei Nine Yang Kung Fu. I practiced hard for several years and achieved some success. However, after practicing boxing, kicking and swordsmanship, I found that many moves were too simple and could not demonstrate the power of martial arts.

And the more you practice martial arts, the faster your movements will be, and the stronger your strength will be, so I think about the so-called strong dragon and its regrets. When martial arts reaches the stage of strong and yang, it will feel like returning to nature, so I think about the principle of combining hardness and softness."

"But I thought for a long time, and all I could think of was 'an empty house for people to live in' and 'an empty bowl for rice.' The prime minister went a step further and thought about the principle of using softness to overcome strength, but he couldn't."

In a courtyard behind the Zixiao Palace, Chen Zhao combined the internal strength he had practiced hard in several copies, displayed the martial arts he had thought about for a long time, and punched a big tree, only to see the big tree make a "boom" sound.

There was a dull sound, and the branches and leaves were completely motionless.

But Zhang Sanfeng had already seen that the force of this punch transformed from horizontal force to smooth force, from strong force to soft force, and instantly dispersed into the veins of the big tree without causing any damage to the big tree.

If this boxing technique can do this, it can also channel its energy into the opponent's bidding, and nothing will happen for a short period of time. However, once it is triggered, the internal force will rush around in the opponent's body, which can make the opponent's life worse than death.

Zhang Sanfeng saw that his boxing skills were so good, so smooth and calm, and both hard and soft, he couldn't help but nodded: "Chen Shaoxia, your boxing skills are amazing. It seems to be invisible, but in fact it has endless stamina. If this martial arts mentality continues to deepen,

After grinding it down, it will be like a hidden weapon, fixed in the acupuncture points of the human body, and can even control life and death."

Chen Zhao smiled and said: "This is a direction for juniors to study their internal skills. Once this direction is practiced to a high level, it can indeed control the life and death of the opponent. I can call it the 'life and death talisman', but after all, it is a harmful thing and insignificant.

I just want to study the principle of combining hardness and softness, or even softness with hardness."

It turns out that after Chen Zhao presented the black jade intermittent ointment that day, he settled down on Wudang Mountain and exchanged martial arts principles with Zhang Sanfeng every day, which was very beneficial.

Several disciples of Zhang Sanfeng were looking for famous doctors of this generation and asked them to use black jade intermittent ointment to treat Yu Daiyan's bone injuries.

In fact, all the famous doctors in the world are willing to come to Wudang Mountain to treat diseases. Firstly, the medical fees are high, and they come to treat Zhang Sanfeng's disciples. They can also brag and exchange a few words with the living gods, and they can also brag a lot when they return to their own medical clinics.

.

If it were placed in later generations, it would be indispensable to hang a photo of the doctor and Zhang Sanfeng, which reflects the quality of the famous doctor.

Who among the world’s patients doesn’t flock to them?

But in the past twenty years, famous doctors in this area have been to Wudang Mountain several times, and most of them are unable to do anything.

Now that I heard that some heroes from the Emei Sect have found a good medicine for treating injuries, naturally I asked a famous doctor to test it again.

At first, the experiment was conducted on monkeys from Mount Emei. Unexpectedly, the effect was so effective. In just over a month, the monkey with broken bones showed signs of recovery. Everyone was very excited about this, and the Five Heroes of Wudang were also grateful to Chen Zhao.

It was more profound, so when I saw Chen Zhao talking about martial arts with Zhang Sanfeng every day, I didn't feel anything wrong.

At this time, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but nod his head after hearing Chen Zhao's remarks.

He studied martial arts since he was a child, and lived in seclusion in the Wudang Mountains as a teenager to ponder the truth of martial arts. Although he was invincible for a long time, he did not form a system until he was sixty years old and established the Wudang Sect. At the age of 100, he even studied "Tai Chi Gong"

The mysteries of the Wudang sect have made the Wudang sect shine in the martial arts world, not inferior to the Shaolin sect’s martial arts passed down by Bodhidharma in Tianzhu.

At this time, I heard Chen Zhao say that the principle of combining hardness and softness was the academic direction of his recent research, so he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although boxing in the world has certain characteristics, the changes depend on the person. Every punch is used

, there are differences between high and low, advance and retreat, entry and exit, attack and defense. When facing the enemy, it is nothing more than using the big to overcome the small, the oblique to overcome the straight, and the invisible to overcome the tangible. Every move must be secretly stored up with energy."

As Zhang Sanfeng spoke, he displayed the Tai Chi skill in his hands, and said: "The beauty of boxing is not only its fierceness, but also its generality. If I can push the enemy into the shadow of my fist with soft force, then if I want him to go left, I will go left.

If you want him to go right, go right. Then use four ounces of small force to move the enemy's weight. I must use my vertical force to hit the enemy's side. The difference between victory and defeat lies in finding the opposite point and hitting the right landing point, so I call it Tai Chi.

achievement."

Chen Zhao nodded and said: "Although Master Zhang is talking about the principles of Tai Chi, he is actually talking about the supreme principles of boxing. After studying martial arts for me, I know that the secret of combining hardness and softness lies in the positive and negative, soft and hard in martial arts.

, hard and soft, stretch and bend, up and down, left and right, front and back, etc.”

He also gestured at his own martial arts ideas and said: "The way of fist and palm is to swallow the method first, and attack with force, like a snake sucking; when closing the hands, the spit method is the first, and sink in with gentle strength, like a cow spitting grass.

All must be cold, quick, fast, and crisp. As for the upright, they are the four fronts, and the corners are the four corners. When facing the enemy, we must use our uprightness to attack the enemy's corners. If we are facing upright, then we will collide with each other, that is, we must use our uprightness to attack the enemy's corners.

Fight hard with hard force.”

After Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he burst into laughter: "I didn't expect that Chen Shaoxia's understanding is amazing. I also feel that I have benefited a lot from talking with you. I have learned a lot about Tai Chi after thinking about it for a long time. How about you and I joining hands?"

"

Chen Zhao smiled and said, "I've had this intention for a long time!" He raised his arms and waved his palms, hitting Zhang Sanfeng's face, "Look at my nine Emei hand-cutting moves!"

Zhang Sanfeng's right hand swung diagonally from his chest to the right. He had caught Chen Zhao's palm. The diagonal strokes continued, and he had brought Chen Zhao's sharp palm to the empty space. At the same time, he thrust his left leg diagonally into Chen Zhao's hand.

Behind Zhao, his left palm struck Chen Zhao's chest. It was a wonderful move in Tai Chi that uses softness to overcome hardness.

In fact, Chen Zhao's current martial arts still cannot get rid of the shackles of fist and palm movements. Although Zhang Sanfeng is a great master in Tai Chi and his martial arts movements leave no traces, there are many flaws in Tai Chi that have been carefully studied recently, so the two have not sorted it out.

When people join hands, they promote and inspire each other.

At this time, Chen Zhao was carried diagonally by Zhang Sanfeng's gravity. His body was uncontrollable and he leaned forward. He took two steps forward involuntarily. Only after his feet were firmly planted on the ground and force penetrated his back, did he freeze his body and step aside. He waved his palms horizontally.

He hit his left palm and praised: "Master Zhang, this is Tai Chi!"

Although Zhang Sanfeng neutralized Chen Zhao's punch, he still felt that Chen Zhao had enough strength and it was really difficult to resolve. Being able to move Chen Zhao forward was already the result of his full concentration. However, the old Taoist had experienced extraordinary things in his life and his hands and feet were not stopped.

Immediately, they connected with each other. They were all close-up bunts and followed the trend.

Tai Chi is profound and profound, and the web can be combined with Shaolin martial arts. Especially when used by Zhang Sanfeng, it is even more powerful. Even if Chen Zhao tried his best to maximize his internal strength, he could not help but fall into Zhang Sanfeng's spider web.

Being hit by him, his elbows and knees were hit, and his back was swung with his hands. It was as if he was trapped in a net bag and could not escape at all.

Chen Zhao laughed: "A real person's magical power is almost like an immortal's magic!!"

Suddenly, I understood the basic principle of "living in an empty house" and "serving food in an empty bowl". I immediately followed the trend, with my elbows and arms blocking each other, as if my hands were clasped in a circle, as if they were one.

The two laughed at the same time, then suddenly fell silent and took two steps back.

Chen Zhaodao: "After fighting with a real person, I feel that if you want to use softness to overcome strength, you must have 'the spirit of the void to support the strength, the chest to lift the back'."

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his long beard with his hands, his eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "The old Taoist Chen Shaoxia urged me to understand the eight words 'loose the waist and droop the hips, sink the shoulders and drop the elbows.'

Form and spirit are unified.”

Immediately, the two of them sat down cross-legged, talking to each other and discussing in detail the profound principles they had realized.

When the disciples came to deliver the meal, they saw that the two of them were discussing deeply and did not dare to disturb them, so they just left the meal and left quietly.

In this way, the two people discussed and inspired each other in this small courtyard. They talked for seven days and seven nights. Finally, they understood the new principles and jointly performed the supreme martial arts of Tai Chi - Tai Chi Quan and Tai Chi Sword.
