Chapter 485 Enlightenment at Wudang Mountain, Tai Chi Yin and Yang Avenue
"Using the methods of the Saint Thief, it looks like a big one is coming!"
Zhang Zhiwei muttered to himself, staring closely at the movements of the Wudang Clan Leader.
I saw the Wudang disciple holding his hands round, forming an extremely ancient Tai Chi stance, taking one step forward, stretching his arms, slowly making fists, and moving smoothly.
In an instant, the energy around the Wudang Clan leader poured out like a flood.
The Qi of ordinary people cannot be seen by ordinary people. Only when the essence is powerful enough to a certain extent can it be seen by ordinary people.
For example, those immortals in the Northeast who have practiced for hundreds of years have no magic skills and can only concentrate on refining Qi. Therefore, the amount of Qi they produce is often extremely terrifying and can be seen intuitively by ordinary people with the naked eye. However, their Qi Qi is black, so it is also called Yao Qi.
After using Saint Thief and absorbing a large amount of the natural power of heaven and earth, Wudang Sect Leader's Qi all over his body can also be seen by ordinary people.
However, his Qi is not black, but white, so dazzling that it can really pierce people's eyes.
The reason for this effect is that Qi contains the release of one's own energy and spirit.
Sometimes, Zhang Zhiwei would release his energy. Last time at Yinghe Tower, Li Muxuan was almost frightened to death by his flash of energy.
With the unity of spirit, energy and spirit, Wudang Clan leader took action, which was extremely terrifying. He shot out a white energy and landed on the waterfall, but it did not cause any waves. The energy was condensed and undissipated, like a snake snaking around. waterfall.
Immediately afterwards, the Wudang Sect Leader struck out the second palm at an extremely fast speed, and the third palm... continued to strike forty-nine white zhenqi, completely entangling the waterfall.
He waved his hand, and the waterfall that fell straight down with great force was pulled over by him. The waterfall appeared in his hand like a sharp blade.
"Good guy, this method is a bit novel!" Zhang Zhiwei sighed in his heart.
He split the deep pool because he used the mountain-moving technique to fix and extract the Feng Shui Qi Vein that was constantly flowing here, and used the power of this Qi Vein to cut open the water flow.
The Wudang Sect Leader obviously didn't know how to do this. He used another method, a far cruder and cruder method than Zhang Zhiwei's method to achieve this step.
However, this method consumes energy extremely, so he used the method of saint way in advance so that he could have inexhaustible energy.
"So, the array of fairy sounds, the scriptures surrounding him when he was punching on the water, and the sound of killing behind him were also part of the process of starting the Saint Robbery?"
But then, Zhang Zhiwei shook his head: "No, no, practicing boxing is practicing boxing, and a saint thief is a saint thief. The former is the way he wants to show, and the latter is the technique he shows. The reason why he uses this technique, Not to show the power of his technique, but to explain it better."
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and carefully watched the Wudang Clan Leader's next move.
The Wudang Clan leader took the waterfall in his hand and slashed it towards the deep pool below.
For a moment, the water in the pool swayed violently, setting off huge waves that hit the shore with such force that the people standing outside felt their hearts skip a beat.
"Come here, there is this kind of movement again. What is going on inside? Is there a fight?" Lu Ci exclaimed.
"How is it possible to fight?!" Zhou Meng looked incredulous, but the little heavenly master was very powerful. He admitted this, but how could he fight with the gate leader?
"Last time at Trinity Gate, Senior Brother Zhang had a fight with the Zuo Gate Chief. How is this impossible?" Lu Ci said.
"Old Qi, please stop saying a few words!" Lu Ren reminded.
Lu Ci was still very convinced of his brother. He pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Just wait and see what happens. Such a big movement doesn't look like it was caused by hands!" Zhang Huaiyi said: "It's more like the movement caused by the high tide on the river hitting both sides of the river during the flood season."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the previous scene of Zhang Zhiwei splitting the Han River. The movement caused then was somewhat similar to now.
"Earlier, I vaguely heard the sound of a waterfall. Is there a river in the valley ahead?" he asked Zhou Sheng.
"There is a big deep pool!" Zhou Sheng replied.
After his conjecture was confirmed, Zhang Huaiyi said no more. He leaned down and put his ears close to the ground to listen to the sounds in the distance. Sure enough, this was more intuitive.
At this moment, under the waterfall sword of the Wudang Sect Leader, a huge gap was opened in the water surface, and the mud at the bottom of the pool was exposed again, with a large number of fish and shrimps struggling and jumping at the bottom of the pool.
The separated water surface, under the influence of the waterfall in the hands of the Wudang Sect Leader, first spread to both sides. After hitting the shore, they all rebounded back together and impacted together, causing the entire water pool to continuously undulate.
If it were like Zhang Zhiwei did before, the Wudang Clan leader could just stop there, smooth the water, and go back to the cliff.
However, that would turn into a battle of spirits with Zhang Zhiwei. How could he, a dignified old man, be so superficial?
I saw him holding the waterfall and continuing to stir it in the deep pool. Under his drastic actions, the water surface of the deep pool was no longer turbulent, but showed a strange calmness.
The reason why I say it is weird is because the pool water that was previously separated from the two sides did not really merge together. Although the two came together, they were clearly separated, with an S-shaped line in the middle.
Perhaps it was the intervention of the Wudang Clan leader. Under direct sunlight, divided by the S-shaped line, the water surface on one side was sparkling and looked very bright, while the water surface on the other side was backlit and looked particularly dark.
One bright, one bright, one yin and one yang, and the line in the middle seems to cut the yin and yang, forming a Tai Chi pattern.
At the moment when this pattern was formed, the water in the entire pool stopped flowing out and began to slowly rotate.
Zhang Zhiwei stood on the cliff and had a panoramic view of it all. It was impossible for him not to understand this Tai Chi diagram. With the natural power of heaven and earth, combined with the momentum of the nine palaces, the shape and meaning of yin and yang, the pool of water formed a Unprovoked circles, endless cycles, endless phenomena...
This move is the essence, and it is much more exquisite than the previous use of waterfalls to split the pool.
"Use the saint's thief to use the natural power of heaven and earth for your own use, and then solidify the energy of mountains and rivers, transforming the meaning of Tai Chi's rotation into it, creating a relatively closed cycle, and so interlocking, finally forming this scene, this This design is simply exquisite! ”
Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but praise, "The truth is so simple, he could see through it at a glance and understand how the Wudang Clan master achieved this step. If he supplemented it with the power of his faith, it was actually very easy for him to achieve this step." Simple.
It is nothing more than pre-empting the flow of Qi pulse here, and then sealing it with its own Qi, forming a short-term special pattern.
In other words, the Wudang Clan leader arranged a simple Qi game on the water. The Tai Chi circle on the water surface was caused by the flow of Qi in the Qi game.
However, unlike the normal closed structure, the current structure relies entirely on the Qi of the Wudang Clan leader. If he withdraws, the Qi Bureau will collapse on the spot.
But these are not important. It is of little significance to understand how it is done. The key is to understand what the Wudang Clan leader wants to express through this Tai Chi diagram.
The yin and yang of the two fishes are intertwined with each other, and the entire pool seems to be returning to nature, unusually simple and clear. There are clouds and mist rising in the yin and yang fish pattern, and the Wudang Clan leader is stepping on the intersection of yin and yang.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at the Tai Chi diagram and was lost in thought. He remembered some ancient legends about the origin of aliens.
According to legend, the water of the Yellow River is dim and turbid, while the water of the Luo River is clear and translucent. Eventually, all rivers return to the sea. The two rivers converge in the hinterland of the Central Plains. One is clear and the other is turbid. The two conflict and are compatible, forming a mysterious and natural way that conforms to Taoism. A mysterious scene, this is the earliest form of Tai Chi.
It is said that the earliest innate Bagua map was understood by Emperor Fuxi from the water potential of the Yellow River and Luoshui River, so it is also called Hetu Luoshu.
But these are all ancient rumors, dating back thousands of years. It is impossible to verify what exactly they are. However, the place where the Yellow River and the Luo River meet is indeed the place where Taiji prospered.
Although Tai Chi Jin is an entry-level method in Wudang, it does not mean that it is not available in other places. Perhaps it is because many Taoist priests are used to it, especially those from the Quanzhen lineage, who have less family background, so they teach a few tricks on a whim. This is also common.
Therefore, over the years, many people have mastered the power of Tai Chi. Some extremely talented people have even brought forth new ideas and brought Tai Chi to a whole new level.
For example, not far from the intersection of the Yellow River and Luoshui, there is an alien force called Chenjiagou.
This Chenjiagou is somewhat similar to the Lujia Village of the Lu family. It is considered a family force. The ancestral method is Tai Chi Jin. Perhaps the method itself is learned from outside. They are not as closed as the Lujia Village and they also accept outside disciples. .
A hundred years ago, a young man named Yang Luchan entered there to study. He became very famous and became a Tai Chi master. It is said that in addition to his excellent talent, he achieved this achievement by spending a long time at the intersection of the two rivers. Practicing boxing is why you have both magic and magic, and you are in harmony with the truth.
At this moment, the actions of the Wudang Sect Leader are equivalent to creating an environment similar to the Luoshui River of the Yellow River on this pool. Even because of man-made reasons, although some Tao Yun is missing, the things contained in it are more. More, more intuitive.
The yin and yang trend of Tai Chi has been established. In order not to destroy the current pattern, Wudang Clan stretched out his long hand and threw the waterfall in his hand back to the cliff.
Then, he stood in the middle of the cut between yin and yang and practiced Tai Chi. His hands and feet moved extremely slowly and heavily, because every move he made was at the same speed as the water pool, and he seemed to be integrating himself into the Tai Chi circle.
I saw him extending his palm slowly and heavily, and the Tai Chi circle under his feet was also rotating. The two were almost synchronized. In a trance, it gave people the feeling that the Tai Chi circle in the pool was following his boxing skills.
It was as if he had integrated the artistic conception of Tai Chi circles into his own strength.
"This is..." Zhang Zhiwei suddenly realized that the other party was not simply practicing Tai Chi Jin on him. This was beyond the scope of Jin. This was Tai Chi, the mystery of the harmony of yin and yang.
The strange arts of the world cannot escape the yin and yang and the five elements. If the yin and yang work together, you will understand the true principles of the world. Not only Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, and Tai Chi Kung Fu can reach the state of transformation, but also other skills can achieve a considerable inspiration.
Just like the thunder method, whether it is Yin thunder, Yang thunder, or the complete five thunders, they are all based on the structure of Yin Yang and Five Elements.
The reason why it is so difficult to find a complete thunder method is because the complete thunder method requires the Qi of the spleen and earth to coordinate with the conflict of the five elements to achieve the harmony of yin and yang.
After learning the Five Thunders in a regular manner, you are actually solving mathematical problems according to formulas. The method of practicing the Qi of Spleen and Earth is the formula.
But this formula only applies to this problem. If you want to solve other problems, this formula will not work.
But if you understand the underlying logic and fundamental principles, you can solve the problem even without relying on formulas.
Zhang Zhiwei understood what the Wudang disciple explained to him. It was not a simple technique, but an understanding of Tao, which was the essence of his life's practice.
The Tao is Tao, but it is very Tao. His cultivation is very high, so high that it is difficult for anyone to inherit and understand these methods.
In other words, he himself has some limitations that are difficult to tell, so he can only show them to the maximum extent in this way.
But even so, there are only a few people who can understand it. If the viewer is not Zhang Zhiwei, other people will understand nothing and gain nothing except sighing at his miraculous skills.
After a set of punches, the Wudang sect leader stood still. He lowered his head and looked at the constantly rotating Tai Chi circle under his feet. He closed his eyes and breathed out, guiding the power of heaven and earth to make up for the lack of Qi just now. Then, he asked:
"Do you understand? Do you understand?"
"The yin and yang of heaven and earth, all things in ancient and modern times, life and death, are all manifested in the Tai Chi Diagram and transformed into Taoism!"
Zhang Zhiwei said. As he spoke, a black and white Tai Chi Bagua diagram appeared under his feet. His body did not move, but the Bagua diagram under his feet was slowly spreading.
Although he didn't specifically say what he understood, the Tai Chi under his feet showed the flawless Dao more than any words. This picture is worth a thousand words.
The Wudang Clan leader took a look and waved his hand. The calm and swirling water in the pool suddenly exploded into water jets and rolled up angrily, drowning him. Loud laughter could be heard from inside.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, mysterious, mysterious, and even more mysterious. His movements and words are all expressed in Tao, and his silence is like a fairy. In the palm of his hand, it is like a pearl, and in the sky, it is like a full moon. After he has completed his merits, he will go straight to the Great Luotian!"
After he finished speaking, the force of the water column soaring into the sky slowed down. The Wudang sect leader looked at the bead-like curtain of water droplets falling down. He seemed to see his former self in the water droplets.
He lost his father at an early age and dropped out to study martial arts. He became a disciple of Guo Yunshen, the great master of Xingyi. Later, he received the true biography of Bai Xiyuan, the great master of medicine and martial arts. After that, he received the true biography of Cheng Tinghua, the master of Bagua.
When he encountered a bottleneck in martial arts, he began to travel far and wide. When he heard of talented people, he would visit them regardless of the distance or danger. He refused to accept and compete with them, and never lost. He visited Shaolin, Shang Emei, and Wudang successively.
When he was in Wudang, he met an old Taoist whose surname was Zhang. He was tall, turtle-shaped, with a crane's back, big ears and round eyes, and a beard like a halberd. Even in the coldest month of winter, he only wore a single coat, which was quite extraordinary.
Seeing this, he went over to ask for advice. The old Taoist laughed and taught him the method of cultivating the mind and nourishing the Qi, and then disappeared. After he learned this method, he went to consult other Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain, and then he entered Taoism through martial arts. The abdomen stores qi and blood debris.
During this period, he had many fellow Taoists on Wudang Mountain. One of them, Chen Yintao, was very close to him, so he stayed with him in Wudang and heard him lecture on the Alchemy Sutra. Later, he learned that old Chen The surnamed Taoist is the head of Wudang.
With the support of Wudang and the wealth and power of the land, in three years, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the ultimate level, reaching the point where he can soar and walk in the sky, and the sword of wisdom shoots divine light. He can walk, sit or lie down, and respond to every thought. The laws of heaven are in harmony with the Tao.
After that, he left Wudang and wandered around again, ascending to the sky, building Jiuji, chasing tigers and leopards, entering the forest, and killing Japanese pirates. He had many strange things along the way. He encountered bandits many times, fought alone against gangs of lords, and was invincible.
Until he was lectured by Zhang Jingqing in Longhu Mountain, he returned to Wudang with a lot of worries. Coincidentally, when his old friend passed away, he became the head of Wudang. He usually repaired in the Prince's Cave. Occasionally, when no one was around, he would Will return to the secular world and enjoy family happiness.
The past flashed by like smoke, and the water drops fell away. The Wudang Clan leader stared at the water and murmured to himself:
"The past of life is just like this, just like this water splash, exploded with magical power, but when you put it down, you return to nature. Otherwise, it will always exist. Let it go, it's natural, let it go, it's nature..."
