Chapter 20 Tai Chi and Accidents

It took the two of them one day to arrive at the Frost Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Frost is located in the north of the Kingdom of Fire. It is surrounded by the Kingdom of Long and the Kingdom of Tian. It is surrounded by the sea in the north. Only the center of the country is land. It is surrounded by icebergs and snow valleys, similar to concentric circles. Due to the long-term snowing here, nothing is produced in abundance and supplies are relatively scarce.

There are not too many ninjas here, and most of their ninjutsu are water-based. The geographical advantage allows their ninjutsu to play a greater role.

The two entered the area and walked in an iceberg and snow valley. Bai An was wearing thin clothes, holding his shoulders with his hands, shivering and walking with chattering teeth. Jiraiya next to him was wearing very thick clothes and walking leisurely, which made Bai An angry.

Bai An: "You are really... really something. You didn't tell me where you were going, and then you prepared... it was Doha."

Jiraiya: "Who told you to go out with so little stuff? I told you, it's a trip, it's a trip, you don't know where you're going, who can you blame for not making more preparations?"

Bai An felt a little guilty, but he still felt uncomfortable when he saw Jiraiya's smug look.

Bai An turned around, jumped up, and kicked the dead tree next to him.

The snow covering the trees instantly buried Jiraiya.

The two of them started playing and exercising vigorously, and Bai An felt better.

Seeing this, Bai An thought of something, "Physical training requires training in extreme heat and cold. It can not only improve the body but also temper the will. This is a good opportunity."

So, Bai An started moving, running the internal energy he had just learned in his body. As it circulated, his body immediately became warm, and he even showed signs of sweating.

In this way, the two of them found a place to live. The houses here were all bungalows with stoves inside.

As soon as the two entered the room, they looked around.

Bai An: "That's it. I've been walking for so long, and I think I only saw this one."

Jiraiya: "Well, why is there no one here?"

"Hey, is anyone there, resident?"

After a while, a little girl about the same age as Bai Euan came out from the inner room.

"I'm here, I'm here. Hello, both of you. Can I get a room?"

Seeing this, Jiraiya squatted down and asked, "Little sister, where is your parents?"

The little sister said, "Let's go out and hunt for some food. This place is a bit remote, three or four kilometers away from the center. It takes time to get to the center, so if you want to eat anything, you need to go hunting by yourself. You two came in from the back of the valley, right?"

Jiraiya: "Well, can you handle these?"

Little sister: "Yes."

While we were checking in, a burly man dressed in animal skins walked into the room carrying a roe deer.

Man: "Oh, a guest is coming. Xiao Ling, you go ahead and take care of it. I'll go get rid of the roe deer."

Then he said to Bai An and Jiraiya, "Please bear with us two guests. We are the only ones at home now. His mother hasn't come back yet."

Bai An and Jiraiya naturally didn't care about this "It's okay, little girl, you are sensible, you go ahead and do your work, she will take care of it for us."

It will be done quickly.

Bai Eucalyptus: "This doesn't look like a rich place."

Jiraiya: "Of course, due to the geographical environment, the local economy is based on selling animal meat, fish, and leather clothing. Our village sometimes provides financial subsidies here."

Bai Eucalyptus: "Oh, by the way, this place is quite suitable for me to practice. If there is nothing too important, don't call me."

Jiraiya: "Tsk, do you think I am willing to take care of you? I heard that the hot springs in the center are good, I have to go check it out." His saliva was flowing.

He turned to Bai An and said, "You stay here by yourself, I'm leaving." Then he turned around and walked out.

Bai Eucalyptus: "Just wait, you will be a kidney deficiency immortal from now on, bah!"

After Jiraiya left, Bai An also went out to practice. As soon as he went out, he saw the little girl sweeping the snow in front of the door, preparing to hang lanterns.

Bai An walked over and said, "Little sister, what are you doing?"

The little sister looked at him sideways and said, "Hey, you seem to be the same age as me, right? Why are you calling me little sister?"

Bai An was surrounded by people like Itachi, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, so they were unable to react for a while.

Bai An was embarrassed for a moment and made up an excuse, "My sister is only one year younger than me, and I often call her little sister. Besides, don't I know your name?"

Little sister: "Ah, I didn't scream?"

Bai Eucalyptus: "I... what the hell?"

Little sister: "Hahaha, just kidding, my name is Chuan Hua Ling."

Bai An "My name is Bai An. Why were you sweeping the snow and hanging lanterns just now?"

Chuan Hualing "In a few days it will be the Ice Flower Festival here, which means the new year has begun here, so we have to prepare in advance. Sweeping the snow means clearing away the bad luck of the past year, and hanging lanterns means joy and celebration."

Bai An: "Oh! Is that so? What are the customs here? When in Rome, follow the local customs."

Chuan Hualing: "It's nothing, just a family gathering together and having a reunion dinner."

Bai An thought to himself, "Isn't this the Chinese New Year of my past life?"

"By the way, is there a specific date?"

Chuan Hua Ling: "No, we judge by the snowflakes. When you see frost in the snow, that's it. We call this kind of snowflakes ice flowers."

White Eucalyptus "So that's how it is."

After chatting for a while, Bai An went to training.

Bai An used his internal energy to resist the severe cold, and randomly found a place to enter consciousness. He had not yet read the content about Tai Chi.

At first he thought of Tai Chi, but at that time Tai Chi did not match the Shenlong boxing in the ancient martial arts tradition. Now with the fusion of Bajiquan, Pi Gua Zhang and Zui Quan, it is more appropriate to add Tai Chi to it.

"Tai Chi - (Part 1)

If you want to practice Tai Chi, you must first understand Tai Chi.

Yi has Taiji, Taiji gives birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gives birth to Sixiang, Sixiang gives birth to Bagua, which can be translated as

One is nothing; two is the separation and combination of yin and yang; three is the source of life; four is orderly movement; five is omnipresent in time and omnipresent in space; six is ​​in the metaphysical but manifested in the physical.

Nothingness does not mean absolute emptiness. The nothingness of Tai Chi is full of infinite vitality.

Tai Chi, externally manifested as the unity of Yin and Yang, and internally manifested as the separation of Yin and Yang.

One is divided into two and then combined into one. The two elements are contradictory and interdependent, and cannot be separated for a moment. If they are combined, they will live, and if they are separated, they will die.

......"

Tai Chi - (Part 2)

This set of boxing techniques originated from the martial god Zhang Sanfeng, and is based on the thirteen Tai Chi forms.

Peng, Lu, squeeze, and press.

That is, Kan, Li, Zhen and Dui, the four squares.

Pick, grab, elbow, and lean.

That is, Qian, Kun, Liang and Xun, the four oblique angles.

This is the gossip.

Progress, regression, look left, look right, and be steady.

That is, metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

These five elements.

Together they amount to thirteen, which are called the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi.

Core idea: "Use stillness to overcome motion, use softness to overcome hardness, use slowness to overcome speed, use cleverness to overcome clumsiness, and use a few to control the many."

It emphasizes the three skills of waist, crotch and legs, and the training speed should be moderate, the footwork should be flexible, the movements should be natural, the crotch can be low or high, the Qi should be moved at will, the body should move with the spirit, it should bend and stretch at will, it should be soft but firm, seemingly loose but not loose, about to unfold but not yet unfolded, the strength should be interrupted but the intention should not be interrupted.

During the practice, you should focus on calming your mind and relaxing your body, allowing yourself to enter the state of practicing naturally, following the laws of nature and movement, and exercising step by step according to the methods and rules of internal martial arts and boxing theories, so as to achieve the unity of man and nature, unity of essence, energy and spirit, and unity of intention, spirit and form.

The thirteen postures are composed of the starting posture, holding the ball posture, single push posture, probing posture, supporting posture, pounce posture, carrying posture, dividing posture, cloud posture, transforming posture, double push posture, downward posture, and closing posture.

The key points of the movements are: empty the head and head, hold the chest and push the back, sink the shoulders and elbows, and press the tongue against the upper palate. When practicing, the form and intention, intention and qi, qi and spirit should be combined. In the six combinations, the spirit and form are wonderful. In the movements, they are continuous, like flowing clouds, relaxed and natural; in the movement and stillness, it is like a needle hidden in cotton, hard with soft, soft with hard, hard and soft, contained but not revealed; in the breathing, it is open and closed freely, rising and falling naturally, deep, thin, long and even, and the breath returns to the root.

Power rack:

Immortal unleashes his sword—The universe plays the ball—Beauty looks in the mirror—Go with the flow—The golden rooster stands on one leg—Single whip saves the master—Ride upside down on a jade dragon—Double winds pierce the ears—Wills sway in the wind—See peaches under the leaves—Walk in the palace with active steps—Hold two moons in the arms—Refine Qi to make elixirs.

Move, block, beat......

(Note: The Thirteen Tai Chi Postures are the original form, and you can continue to create your own Tai Chi based on this.)”

After reading it, Bai An immediately started practicing internal energy and performing Tai Chi. He performed Tai Chi with the flow, against the flow, and with the wrong flow. With the ability to apply what he has learned to other situations, the beauty of Tai Chi's hardness and softness was displayed to the fullest.

In his previous life at university, Bai An had practiced Tai Chi, which was basically the same as this one, but the difference was that at that time, did he know what internal strength, power, and hidden power were? That was just to stretch his muscles, but the Tai Chi he practiced now was really lethal. Moreover, the inheritance book did not just talk about Tai Chi, it also included the Sanfeng School's Taiyi Five Elements Fist, Liangyi Fist, Wudang Xingyi Fist, etc.

After three days, Bai An had mastered Tai Chi with great ease.

at night

Jiraiya had already fallen asleep, and Bai An was meditating.

"This Tai Chi looks easy, but it is very difficult to practice. You need to master the strength, not just apply it randomly. To understand what Tai Chi is, this step is exactly the most important. If you don't understand it, the so-called Tai Chi will really become gymnastics. Fortunately, with the help of the book spirit, I understand it now."

"I have only just discovered that other martial arts become simpler the more you practice them, but Tai Chi becomes more advanced the more you practice it..."

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the house.

Bai An: "What's that noise? It's so noisy."

Bai An pulled aside the curtains and looked through the window, only to see a crowd of about twenty to thirty people outside, some holding torches, some holding knives, and some leading wild beasts.

Bai An thought to himself that this was not good, "There are still robbers in this place."

He woke Jiraiya up.

"Hey, don't sleep, you lecherous immortal, someone is robbing us."

Jiraiya jumped up and drew aside the curtain to look out.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

The two of them left the bedroom and did not see Chuan Hualing's family. Bai An had been getting along well with Chuan Hualing's family these past two days. They would always say hello when they went out, and if there was anything to eat, Chuan Hualing would ask Bai An to go over to eat.

Bai Euan: "Damn it, don't let anything happen to this family."

Jiraiya: "Let's take a look, maybe he's hiding."

As soon as the two opened the door, they happened to meet the person leading the crowd.

Bai An sensed the other party's breath and chakra, and thought to himself, "This person is at the level of a Jonin, and the group behind him are almost all Chunins."

Bai An felt it and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

Jiraiya just watched, but in fact he had already used his clone to go behind the crowd.

The leader said, "Oh, there are still people here. I just killed three ants, but there are still two left. You seem to be quite strong."

Bai An's eyes narrowed, and his tone was colder than the weather. "Kill them all?"

The leader laughed, "Hahahaha, here," and pointed in a direction.

I saw two or three fierce and strong snow wolves gnawing on something.

Bai An saw clearly that there were three corpses lying in the mouths of several wolves, two large and one small. At this moment, one wolf was wearing pink clothes while gnawing on the food. The wolf picked up an arm, which was not big, and it was a child's arm. The wolf pulled hard, and there was a "hiss". The scene was very quiet, but this sound was particularly prominent, and the small arm was pulled off.
