Chapter 4 Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a compulsory subject in university and must be tested before each semester's vacation. As a student at a medical university, Jiang Li naturally knows how to do it.
Tai Chi is mainly divided into five major schools, namely Chen style, Yang style, Sun style, Wu style and Wu style Tai Chi. Each genre has its own characteristics.
Chen-style Tai Chi: Created by Chen Wangting, it is famous for its fierceness and strength. It has wide open and close movements and focuses on the cultivation of martial arts and internal strength.
Yang Style Tai Chi: Developed by Yang Luchan from Yongnian, Hebei Province on the basis of Chen Style Tai Chi. The movements are relatively gentle and focus on body coordination and relaxation. It is suitable for people of different ages and physical fitness to practice.
Sun Style Tai Chi: Created by Sun Lutang, it combines elements of Xingyiquan and Baguazhang. It has flexible movements and is suitable for moving quickly and responding to emergencies.
Wu Style Tai Chi: Created by Wu Tunan, the movements are slow and coherent, focusing on the cultivation of internal strength and physical relaxation. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to practice.
Wu Style Tai Chi: Created by Wu Yuxiang, the movements are simple and clear, focusing on the natural movement of the body and the use of internal force. It is suitable for beginners and practitioners who pursue natural and smooth movements.
The origin of Tai Chi can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, known as "Tang Shou". It was revived in the Ming Dynasty and called "Thirteen Movements". The Tai Chi community respects Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain as the founder of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is composed of theoretical systems such as Tai Chi Classics, Tai Chi Theory, and Tai Chi Songs, and is combined with traditional Chinese medicine meridian science, Tai Chi philosophy, Five Elements, and health preservation. Tai Chi not only has the function of self-defense, resisting violence and defeating the enemy, but also emphasizes self-cultivation and internal and external cultivation.
Regular practice of Tai Chi can also regulate the body and dredge meridians, enhance immunity, and improve physical fitness.
In addition, Tai Chi, the Marrow Cleansing Sutra and the Yi Jin Sutra are collectively referred to as foundation exercises.
However, due to the reasons of the world in the previous life, coupled with the loss of mental skills, and the difficulty of mastering Tai Chi, there were very few famous Tai Chi masters, and it was eventually reduced to a physical fitness tool for old men in the park.
What Jiang Li learned was an adaptation of Yang Style Tai Chi, which was simpler and easier to learn than traditional Tai Chi.
After going through the thoughts in his mind, Jiang Li put away his martial spirit and got out of bed and began to practice Tai Chi.
"Tai Chi is born without extremes. It is the machine of movement and stillness, and the mother of yin and yang. When it moves, it divides, and when it stays still, it unites."
Tai Chi emphasizes stopping with stillness and overcoming hardness with softness. Tai Chi trains the mind rather than the body. As a student of traditional Chinese medicine, Jiang Li has naturally studied Tai Chi a lot, and he is even good at it. He cannot be said to be a Tai Chi master, at least he is a master. However, I gave up after graduation due to work reasons.
Moreover, as Tai Chi is an internal martial art, you need to keep your inner peace when practicing. Don't be rigid about the moves and follow your heart.
As for why he didn't practice martial arts before awakening, it was of course that he was too young at the time and his physical condition did not allow it. Now six years old is just the right age for practicing martial arts, not to mention that he can rest assured now that he has awakened his soul power. practise.
Jiang Li made a starting gesture, and then began to punch slowly. The basic moves of Tai Chi include standing, walking and various boxing movements, such as single whip, cloud hand, white crane spreading wings, etc. The advanced moves include grasping the sparrow's tail, moving, blocking and beating, and other moves.
After adjusting his breathing, Jiang Li started practicing Tai Chi from the stance.
Beginners should practice Tai Chi slowly, as slowly as possible, because Tai Chi is a slow job, and you can only rely on water to grind your time. If you are eager for success, you will not be able to practice Tai Chi well.
Starting from the most basic stance, to the walking stance, to the single whip, and then to the cloud hand, every move was executed by Jiang Li with ease, and there was an indescribable beauty to it.
……
Half an hour later, as the last movement was completed, Jiang Li's arms dropped leisurely, his palms caressing the sides of his legs, his posture tall and straight, and his breathing long. Return your left foot to its original position, bring your feet together, feel calm and relaxed, and feel peaceful both inside and outside. The sweat from Tai Chi still remains on your forehead.
"Huh, I haven't played for a long time, and I'm a little rusty, but... eh? My soul power and body?" After finishing Tai Chi, Jiang Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, complained a few words, and suddenly discovered that his His soul power has increased a bit, and his physical fitness is a bit stronger than when he awakened his martial spirit.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's it, it seems like it's really due to the environment." After Jiang Li figured out the situation, he also understood why his soul power and physical fitness had increased.
The reason is that the world is different. There was no spiritual energy in the previous life, and the Tai Chi mental method was lost, so it can only be used to strengthen the body. In this life, because it is in Douluo Continent, the air is filled with soul power, and Jiang Li just fought When doing Tai Chi, he unconsciously absorbed the soul power in the air, which improved his soul power and physical fitness. However, this was the first time he practiced Tai Chi in this world, and the effect was obvious. It is estimated that it will not improve in the future. So much.
"Maybe it's because it's my first time to practice Tai Chi. I'll probably increase it a little bit in the future, but it's okay. At least it's better than not doing it. I might be able to absorb soul rings by leapfrogging through this thing." Jiang Li thought to himself.
Now that we have decided to take the path of Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, the quality of the soul ring must not be bad. According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy required for evolution is much higher than normal, whether it is fairy grass or soul rings. , are all a type of energy, but have different functions. The fairy grass can change a person's foundation, and the soul ring can help people break through. If the energy is not enough, the evolution of the martial soul will be far away.

Not to mention anything else, he must have at least a hundred-year first soul ring. Jiang Li does not want his first soul ring to be ten years old, even if it is extremely suitable. This will slow down his development speed too much, or in other words, the upper limit. It's not that high, and he can't bear the consequences. No matter how you say it, he was a genius in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go to the operating table within two years of graduation.
"Forget it, let's wait until school starts. During this period, just practice Tai Chi and practice swordsmanship after school. After all, I have never been exposed to swordsmanship in my previous life, and I don't understand this stuff, let alone have any experience with it now in this life. Without sword skills, you can only see them through the school library, and the knowledge about soul beasts is also there," Jiang Li thought in his heart.
Because he had never touched a sword in his previous life, Jiang Li couldn't do it even if he wanted to practice swordsmanship, let alone practicing swordsmanship as soon as he awakened his martial soul. There was no place to sell swordsmanship, even basic swordsmanship. This thing is not for sale at all. Want to learn? Yes, it is available in school. It is either a family tradition or joining a certain force. Otherwise, you have no way to learn it.
The Spirit Hall must have some, but his Bluesilver Grass is worthless. After all, Bluesilver Grass is the most useless thing. Even if it has soul power, it's just a fluke. It's not worth mentioning. It's also because Jiang Li is a time traveler. It's impossible for ordinary people to play with it.
