MTL - Cultivating From Obtaining Experience-Chapter 2 Tai Chi

  Chapter 2 Experience Bar Tai Chi

   "Change slowly."

   This meal Wang An ate a little slower than usual, chewing slowly, and finished a dish and a fish.

  After eating, he walked back and forth in the room for more than ten minutes, treating it as a walk after a meal to digest food, and then went to bed for a lunch break.

  Perhaps because of his relaxed mood, he slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, and his head was still a little groggy when he woke up.

   Washed his face and drank a glass of warm water.

   "What to do next?" He looked at the sky outside.

   "Go for a run." He couldn't remember the last time he ran.

  Find out the sportswear from the closet, put on running shoes, and go downstairs.

  There was a small park not far from where he lived. He ran into the small park slowly, and then started running around the park.

  Although the park is not very big, it is five or six hundred meters long in one lap.

  Running around, Wang An's face was sweating, and his heart was beating violently.

  Running the second lap, sweating profusely, feeling that oxygen is not enough, breathing heavily, legs are heavy, running slower and slower, finally persisted,

  When he ran the third lap, he felt that his legs could no longer move forward, and his heart was already in his throat.

   It’s gone, I can’t run,

   Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo,

  Running and stopping, he finally ran the third lap. He couldn't run anymore, so he changed to walking. After walking for a few minutes, his heartbeat subsided, and he found a bench and sat down.

   "You have struggled to complete a middle-distance run of less than two kilometers. Perhaps you have realized how poor your body is."

   "Phew, it's pretty bad. I guess junior high school students are better than me!" Wang Anxin said.

   "I will make a long-term fitness plan when I go back later, and stick to it."

   Leaning on the chair, he raised his head and let out a long sigh of relief. His eyes were attracted by the figure of an old man a few meters away.

  The old man was wearing a white exercise uniform with a ruddy complexion. He was standing under a tree doing Tai Chi.

   There is no wind and water, and there is no fluttering leaves. He beats very slowly, and his posture is quite stretched.

   After a while, another old man came, fat and panting after walking a few steps, just like Wang An who was running just now.

"I am coming."

  The old man who had previously practiced Tai Chi stopped and looked at the obese old man.

   "You really need to take good care of your body. It's not okay to be out of breath after walking a few steps."

   "So come here to practice Tai Chi with you, aren't you the same as me three years ago?" said the old man later.

  The two old men stood together and took a look. The old man in white exercise clothes was seven or eight years younger than the obese old man. In fact, they were the same age.

   "I have a problem with my whole body, and I have indeed improved a lot after practicing Tai Chi in the past few years.

  Let me first teach you to stand on the stance, the Wuji stance, which is the foundation of Tai Chi. Tai Chi comes from Wuji, you need to relax your body and calm your mind. "

  The old man explained the main points of Wuji piles to his friends. Wang An, who heard the conversation between the two, unconsciously leaned forward.

  His body also needs maintenance, start now, don't delay.

  He also wants to hear it, follow along, Tai Chi can strengthen the body, after all, there is no harm, is it?

  The old man in white explained in detail, there are some essentials in this style of Wuji pile, Wang An listened very carefully, the fat old man is impatient and impatient.

   "Don't talk so much, let's practice it first?"

   "Alright." The old man in white smiled and nodded.

  He turned his head and glanced at Wang An at the side.

   "Master, can I learn from you together?" Wang An subconsciously asked while meeting his gaze.

   "Let's take one piece." The old man agreed after a little thought. One person is also teaching, and two people are also practicing.

   "Okay, thank you." Wang An said hastily.

   "Let's talk about the preparatory posture first, the legs are naturally separated, shoulder-width apart, the head is straight, the body is relaxed, and the arms are naturally vertically attached to the thighs..."

  The old man began to demonstrate and explain.

  "Wuji pile, legs slightly bent, body center of gravity on Yongquan point on both feet, abdomen sinking backwards, tailbone downwards, lumbar spine straightened, spine elongated, shoulders loosened and elbows turned, intention to guard the dantian.

  When receiving power, put both palms together at the dantian, and the qi returns to the dantian. "

  Wang An practiced with the old man on the side.

   "Old Liu, I want you to relax, not to make you collapse. The body shape must be upright, and the bones must be supported. What is loose is the flesh, and the bottom is solid and the top is empty."

  The old man guides his old friend.

   "Young man, don't be nervous. You are too tight. Your waist is straightened up, and your spine is like a dragon. You have to straighten it." The old man patted Wang An on the shoulder.

  After practicing for more than ten minutes, the old man told them to stop and correct some of their mistakes. Then continue to practice, this time a little longer, more than 20 minutes.

...

  The old man was very kind and taught him patiently.

   This Promise Pile doesn’t look like much exercise, but it’s actually tiring after practicing, not to mention that Wang An just finished a middle-distance run with “difficulty”, and his body is indeed a little tired.

   After practicing for a while, he felt a little tired, so he took a short rest and continued to practice.

   Before I knew it, the sky darkened.

   "Let's stop here today, I have to pick up my granddaughter." The old man said with a smile.

   "You have learned Taijiquan and gained something. If you stick to it, you may be pleasantly surprised."

   "Tai Chi (beginners practicing first)."

  The prompt appeared again, but this time there was a skill bar, and below it was a long blank bar, which looked very much like the experience bar in the game.

   "Is this lighting up the skill tree?" Wang An was pleasantly surprised.

   "Goodbye, young man." The old man smiled and waved to Wang An.

   "Are you coming tomorrow?" Wang An asked hastily after recovering.

   "As long as it is not rainy, snowy and windy, I come here to practice Tai Chi every morning around eight o'clock."

   "Then can I learn from you again tomorrow?"

   "Of course, boy, don't you have to go to work?"

   "It should not be necessary." Wang An said with a smile.

   "Then let's see you tomorrow." The old man said with a smile.

  After the two old men left, Wang Anyou stood still and tried to practice the Promise Pile that the old man gave him just now.

  Calm your mind, relax your body, brace your bones, raise your shoulders and turn your elbows, feel the changes in your body and make constant adjustments.

   "Tai Chi experience +2."

   "This also has a hint?"

  Seeing the prompt, Wang An continued to practice.

   "Tai Chi experience +1."

   "Tai Chi experience +1."

  With a thought, the panel reappeared, and the blank experience bar under Taijiquan turned white for a small section, and it popped up, as if it was drawn with chalk.

   As we all know, playing games to gain experience at the beginning is addictive, and Wang An is now at this stage.

   Tired but happy.

  He is already thinking about whether there are other ways to increase experience besides practicing, such as watching videos and movies, reading related books and so on.

   Dragging his tired body back home, he took a hot bath after a short rest.
