Chapter 128 Leaving

After listening to the words of Old Man Chen Zongyi, Fang You suddenly looked confused. He asked in confusion: "Old Chen, you said that your Tai Chi is Chen's Tai Chi. Do you say that there are many types of Tai Chi?" He currently has no idea that there are any other Tai Chi except that Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi is the most powerful.

Chen Zongyi smiled, "Of course, there are many types of Tai Chi, including Chen, Yang, Sun, Wu, Wu, Zhaobao, Wudang and other schools. What you see on TV is Wudang Tai Chi, and the Chen Tai Chi we practice is said to be the ancestor of Tai Chi, such as Yang, Wushi Tai Chi was modified and evolved from Chen's Tai Chi. Wushi Tai Chi was formed based on Yangshi Tai Chi, and Sunshi Tai Chi originated from Wushi. However, although most people agree that Yangshi Tai Chi is the ancestor of Tai Chi, a small number of people are still somewhat controversial."

"However, fighting for this reputation is not the most important thing. After practicing Tai Chi well, becoming a Tai Chi master. So what can I do if this boxing comes from?" Chen Zongyi shook his head and smiled, feeling helpless towards these people who compete for their reputation.

Next, Fang You finished two days of horse stance, and when he returned to the hotel, he had been watching several other books given to him by Chen Zongyi. His understanding of Tai Chi also changed from being a ignorant young man who knew nothing to being able to speak a lot of theories now.

Two days later, Chen Zongyi began to teach Fang You to practice Tai Chi as he said, but Fang You practiced a starting move for a long time, his whole body was as stiff as a stone, and the whole movement was like a inferior humanoid robot.

"Boy Fang, don't just think that you are doing something wrong. Be calm down and concentrate your thoughts completely on your fists. You must keep your body natural and let your body move with your heart. Don't use your thoughts to control your mind. Only in this way can your movements be like flowing clouds and water. Do you understand, calm your mind first." Chen Zongyi was not bored, and he still taught Fang You one by one. He has practiced Tai Chi for many years. Even when he first practices Tai Chi, there will be stiffness in his body. Therefore, he has a lot of experience in getting Fang You out of this trouble.

Fang You took a deep breath, calmed his mind and stopped controlling his mind, but he still did it many times before grasping the key points. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Tai Chi looked really simple, and sometimes he would even push back and forth like an old man and a woman, but this practice knew the strictness and difficulty of Tai Chi.

"Boy Fang, you have to remember that after you have mastered the practice of Chen's Tai Chi, you can do practical combat, instead of the fitness Tai Chi that the old men in the park are playing. That's just a fancy way. Do you understand? Be serious..."

"If you just need to exercise your mood, then I will only teach you the first way of Chen Tai Chi boxing. This set of boxing mainly exercises the basic skills of Tai Chi, which can gradually achieve unity of mind and spirit..."

Gradually, a week came, but Fang You had not yet fully learned the 72 movements in the boxing style. At the request of Chen Zongyi, he called his mother and Mr. Chu and decided to stay for another week. If he did not fully learn, he would stay until that day.

"Boy Fang, are you a white crane flapping your wings? You're a bear scratching your armpits. Do it again..."

Fang You was not angry, smiled, closed his fists, and continued to practice. After so many days of practicing boxing, his inner anger completely disappeared, and all that was left was peace of mind.

Every morning, he would come to the river embankment on time and follow the old man to practice Tai Chi together. So, a very eye-catching scene would appear on the river embankment in the morning. A young man followed an old man and slowly practiced Tai Chi.

However, those who have been paying attention to Fang You found that the boy's Tai Chi movements were stiff from the beginning, but now they actually have a bit of smooth flowing water. The whole set of boxing techniques did not give people a sharp feeling like other boxing techniques. On the contrary, the movements were graceful, as if they were dancing, which made people feel comfortable in body and mind and calm in their hearts.

"Boy Fang, the most important thing in this way is to practice silk-wrapped strength. The ancestor of Chen once said that when practicing Tai Chi, you must clearly entangle silk-wrapped strength. Silk-wrapped strength is a kind of internal strength produced by your long-term practice of boxing. The internal strength comes from the dantian and is slightly the same as the legendary internal energy. When acting, the strength is emitted from the dantian. When calm, the strength is returned to the dantian. This energy is spiral. When it comes to the dantian, it goes from the dantian to the whole body. This is the force of tangling smoothly. When it comes to the dantian, it is the force of reverse tangling. As long as you understand the use of this silk-wrapped strength, your Tai Chi is not far away."

"However, this is something that happened a few years later. The only thing you do now is to practice Tai Chi repeatedly every day until you can feel the qi in your body. At this time, you have truly entered the threshold of Tai Chi. However, this strength has been produced for a long time. Some people practice Tai Chi and have no inch skills in their entire lives. This is the main reason why others give up halfway. The key points of movements and breathing I will tell you. As long as you persist every day, believe that practicing silk-wrapped strength with your state of mind is not a difficult thing. Tai Chi will not go out for ten years. After you go back, you must practice well and not waste Tai Chi for external affairs. Do you understand?"

A month later, Fang You stood by the river embankment. After finishing his fist, Chen Zongyi instructed Fang You earnestly. Over the past month, Chen Zongyi has witnessed Fang You's growth step by step. From a naughty boy, he can calm down when he breathes. He couldn't believe that the two were the same person when he first met him. Chen Zongyi felt a little relieved. He really didn't expect that this interesting boy he met while practicing boxing would persist until now and never give up. Through these days, he discovered that Fang You's heart was tenacious, and ordinary people could never compare with him.

"Master, I understand." Fang You nodded heavily, with a feeling of reluctance and bitterness on his face. Although Chen Zongyi did not admit the name of this master, Fang You still called this. Over the past month, in order to teach him a key move, Chen Zongyi even didn't even eat food. During this period, Fang You had seen many people come to him to learn boxing, but Chen Zongyi just glanced at the visitor and refused directly. Fang You smiled and said, "The heart was dry, the kidneys were weak, and the walking was light, and it was difficult to achieve great things."

Some people asked Chen Zongyi to tell the price directly, and some people even opened their backpacks to reveal piles of RMB inside, but they were all kicked out of the house by Chen Zongyi.

In order to teach Fang You carefully, Chen Zongyi had already asked Fang You to leave the hotel where he lived and come to his home, teaching them day and night. Fang You only fully mastered the 74-style boxing techniques in one month.

Chen Zongyi lived in a house that looked like a small villa, but it was a bit dilapidated. He was the only one living in the whole house. When Fang You asked, he shook his head and said that his wife and children had gone home. However, from his sigh, Fang You knew that Mr. Chen was definitely worried.

During this period, Chen Zongyi never mentioned money. He did not talk about free teaching Fang You, but also provided food and accommodation. If Chen Zongyi had not taught him so seriously, he would even suspect that Mr. Chen had other purposes.

"Oh, I will be farewell after a thousand miles. Boss Fang, remember what I said. One day when you are successful in Tai Chi, don't be strong and bully the weak, otherwise I will break all your legs and feet... Haha, this is a bit too far, you go." As he said that, Chen Zongyi laughed. He practiced for decades before he practiced a little silk-wrapped strength. I guess when this boy could master it, he was probably already in his forties or fifties.

Fang You nodded, but still didn't take a step forward, "You kid, hurry up and leave. I'll be tired of eating mine and living with me. If you don't leave, sooner or later, you will give me a poor man. At that time, we two will have to go to the sky bridge to set up a stall and sell our art in order to eat and drink." Although he repeatedly scolded Fang You in his words, he unknowingly started joking with Fang You and chatting.

"Master, why not go back to Wuyang with me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life." Fang You's face showed longing. In Chen Zongyi's house for so many days, he could understand how lonely this old man was. After practicing boxing here, he pulled him to tell interesting things about practicing boxing.

Chen Zongyi practiced Tai Chi since he was almost thirty years old, and he could use the silk-wrapped power with ease. Once, he realized that he was invincible in the world and went to Shaolin without knowing the height of heaven and earth, but he was beaten to the blue and swollen face by several monks. However, he kept carrying it with them and challenged them again and again. Finally, he beat the monks before and then gave up.

However, he lamented that Shaolin Temple has now declined a little. Except for the few people who are escaping from the Uchi Temple, everything else is just a fancy way. The previous martial arts holy land has become a famous scenic spot that everyone can enter.

"Chi'er, I'm used to living here. If you ask me to go to other places, I will not be able to adapt. Let's go quickly." Chen Zongyi sat in the yard, waved his hand, then closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk to Fang You anymore.

Fang You stood silently for a long time, then knelt straight on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Zongyi a few times, "Master, take care of yourself. I will come to accompany you after I stay at home for a few days."

"No need, I will travel far sooner. Let's see you again if we are destined to." Chen Zongyi said coldly without even opening his eyes. He didn't want Fang You, a kid, to have no home for himself, for his old man.

After thinking about it, Fang You gritted his teeth and risked the possibility of being driven out by Chen Zongyi's sticks, took out a stack of RMB from his pocket, gently placed it on the table, and then ran out of the door, "Master, you are about to go far away, how can you do without some travel expenses? Just accept the money. You can't do it if you don't accept it. I'm leaving, hehe."

Looking at Fang You's figure moving away, Chen Zongyi was amused and crying. He hurriedly walked out the door and shouted to Fang You, "Boy Fang, go back and ask Old Chu for me."
