Chapter 25: How Can I See It Then?
Xuan Shen rolled up his sleeves, still somewhat indignant.
"I don't believe it. Come again!!"
He attacked Chen Changsheng again. This time, he didn't hold back at all, exerting all his martial arts skills.
But the result was that every punch and every leg was fully exploited by the opponent's ingenious force. Sometimes, one was even pushed several steps away by the force returned.
The two confronted each other again.
At this moment, the scrophularia was already out of breath, one hand propping up its knee, and its forehead was also covered with sweat.
What a brilliant technique...
Chang Shan recalled Mr. CAI's actions just now, as if a new world had been opened.
"So this is how Tai Chi is used!"
Chang Shan has an excellent sense of perception. Just by watching a fight, he understood exactly what kind of martial art Tai Chi is.
By integrating the art of ingenious force with the skill of using external force to counterattack to the extreme, even without using the slightest bit of blood and energy, one can still defeat Xuan Shen, who has been practicing martial arts for several years.
How amazing!
Shang Lu and Zi Su, however, were rather confused and even couldn't quite understand where the Great Master's force came from.
Chen Changsheng looked at the black ginseng in front of him and said, "Are you coming back?"
Xuan Shen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He knew that there was no point in fighting any further. He had no chance of defeating this gentleman anymore.
He pursed his lips and lowered his head, saying, "You won."
Xuanhuang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart. He was just afraid that this child would be too stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.
Xuan Shen raised his head and said, "How on earth did you manage to dissolve my power?"
"Want to learn?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Xuan Shen nodded and agreed, "Yes!"
Shang Lu also came forward at this moment and said, "Sir, I also want to learn!"
Seeing this, the little junior sister, Zisu, also stepped forward and said, "I want to, too."
Chang Shan merely stepped forward and stood in a row with the three of them.
Chen Changsheng glanced at the four people in front of him and said with a smile, "Haven't you already started learning?"
"Already learning?" Shang Lu was somewhat puzzled.
The epitembodiment of Tai Chi lies in Tai Chi Chuan. It's just that you have always thought this form of boxing is too simple. With diligent practice, you will naturally master it.
Chen Changsheng said, "Besides, it's easy to pass on the Dharma but hard to teach it. Chen Mou is not good at teaching people either. It all depends on your master."
All the people's eyes turned to Xuan Huang.
Xuanhuang stepped forward and said, "I told you all a few years ago that this boxing technique is extremely difficult to master. It's not something you can learn just by following others."
"Master."
Shang Lu began to speak, "Master, you only teach the form, not the meaning. How could we know about Tai Chi? No, it's Tai Chi."
Chen Changsheng said, "The form is to calm the mind. If the mind is not calm, where does it come from? Don't blame your master either. Your master went through the same path back then."
Chang Shan listened to the words of this gentleman and felt strange again.
Why does this gentleman always give people the impression that he is very old when he speaks?
Changshan couldn't quite figure it out.
Could it be that this gentleman is really very old?
He took another look at Chen Changsheng's face and couldn't help shaking his head, leaving all these thoughts behind.
Looking so young, how old could they be?
There must be some problem somewhere.
Chang Shan stepped forward and looked at Chen Changsheng, saying, "Sir, can I have a competition with you?"
"Senior brother?"
His younger schoolmates all turned their eyes to him, and Xuanhuang's gaze was also fixed on Chang Shan.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked, "How much did you understand just now?"
Chang Shan was startled. Why did he always feel that this gentleman could guess what was on his mind?
"Thirty percent." Chang Shan said.
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I can't compete with you."
"Ang?"
Changshan stared at him blankly.
Chen Changsheng explained, "There's one thing that Chen Mou didn't lie to you. I really don't know martial arts, and not at all. I was able to defeat Xuan Shen only because his blood energy wasn't overly strong, which gave Chen Mou an opportunity. But your blood energy is much, much stronger than his."
Although Tai Chi is a martial art that relies on force to exert force, in the face of absolute suppression, force can also break through all methods.
After hearing this, Changshan understood. He let out a long sigh and clasped his hands, saying, "Changshan..." Understood.
He couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.
Just this Tai Chi school alone can make an ordinary person defeat Xuan Shen, who has practiced martial arts for three years.
This gentleman is really capable!
But on second thought, he still felt a bit of a pity that he didn't have the chance to deal with this gentleman. It was such a pity.
Meanwhile, Shang Lu muttered beside him, "Force can break through ten thousand spells, force can break through ten thousand spells..."
This sentence kept lingering in his ears for a long time.
...
After this farce ended.
The Taoist temple once again returned to calm. A few fellow practitioners began to practice Tai Chi, but they fought back and forth and still couldn't make a difference.
Although Chang Shan could understand a bit of the meaning, when it came to actually doing it, he felt it was extremely difficult.
When he moved his hand, his thoughts couldn't keep up at all. He finally understood why one needs to calm their mind when learning Tai Chi.
Chen Changsheng, on the other hand, continued reading his book.
After Xuanhuang had taught his disciples, he went to Chen Changsheng to discuss the matter of digging a well.
After all, going up and down the mountain is really too troublesome.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "I was just saying it off the cuff. I was saying the same thing. Are you really going to dig a well?"
Xuanhuang said, "I thought about it all night yesterday. I think what you said makes a lot of sense. We need Wells and fields. When the time comes, we can plant a peach tree in the small courtyard. The Taoist temple can be self-sufficient and won't starve a few disciples. Besides, when you come next time, we can also offer you some decent things to entertain you."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng was very pleased and said, "Go down the mountain and buy some soybeans. Scatter them in groups of three all over the courtyard and cover them with a bowl. The next day, if the group of soybeans rises the most, it indicates that there is an abundant underground water source here, and a well can be dug. There is a piece of wasteland behind the mountain. With more ploughing and hoeing, the field can be opened. As for this peach tree..."
Chen Changsheng had an idea and said with a smile, "When buying soybeans, just bring a peach up the mountain for Chen Mou."
Xuanhuang was overjoyed upon hearing this and clasped his hands in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Sir."
Then Xuanhuang went down the mountain alone to buy soybeans and peaches.
Chen Changsheng remained in the pavilion at the back of the Taoist temple, reading nothing but books.
Halfway through, Chang Shan came to the backyard to look for his master. Seeing Chen Changsheng there, he asked.
"Sir, have you ever seen your master?" "
Chen Changsheng replied, "Your master has gone to the workshop to buy some things. Maybe he won't be back until dusk."
Chang Shan nodded. He had intended to leave.
But after thinking for a moment, he stepped forward.
He glanced at the book that the gentleman was reading. Just like what he had seen before, the book was blank.
Chang Shan couldn't help asking, "Why does the great master always stare at a blank book?"
Chen Changsheng said, "The book you see has no words, but in Chen's eyes, there are words in this book."
Changshan didn't quite understand what he heard and then asked, "Then how can I see it?"
