Chapter 747 Tai Chi
Su Yunshu ate, drank and slept all day long. When the sunlight of the next morning shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the bed, she opened her eyes with difficulty.
Just this simple action made her feel a pain coming from her head. When she turned slightly to the side, her waist, neck and eyes began to "protest". Every muscle and joint seemed to be under a spell and was extremely sore.
Only at this moment did Su Yunshu deeply realize that people really should not indulge themselves too much and should not forget themselves so much.
I sat up slowly and tried to move my body, but the discomfort showed no sign of lessening.
I sighed helplessly. People really can't be too idle. Even if I go out for a walk, my bones and muscles will become weak if I stay in bed all day.
I forced myself to wash up, pulled Grape out of the doghouse, and took it out for a morning run.
The air in the early morning was fresh and pleasant. Su Yunshu ran slowly, feeling his body gradually regaining its vitality, while Grape jumped excitedly beside him.
While running, Su Yunshu came to a nearby park. She saw an old man practicing Tai Chi, and his agile posture and smooth movements attracted her attention.
Su Yunshu stopped and watched quietly. Seeing the old man practicing vigorously, Su Yunshu thought that it was better to take action than to think, so he took the initiative to join the old man and learn Tai Chi.
In the following days, Su Yunshu would come to the park every day and practice Tai Chi with the old man.
Tai Chi, as one of the treasures of traditional Chinese martial arts, has been passed down to this day despite the vicissitudes of time. This must contain profound principles and values.
Look at those vigorous old people. When they practice Tai Chi, their movements are as smooth and natural as flowing water. Every move appears so skillful and elegant.
Looking at their energetic faces, each of them is radiant and energetic, and looks as vigorous as young people.
It is not difficult to imagine that it is because of their long-term and unremitting practice of Tai Chi that they are able to maintain such good physical condition and mental outlook.
Tai Chi is not just a simple form of exercise, but also a profound knowledge. Through slow and continuous movements, it can regulate breathing, dredge meridians, and harmonize qi and blood, thus achieving the purpose of strengthening the body and cultivating the mind.
For these elderly people, Tai Chi has become an indispensable part of their lives. It not only brings them a healthy body, but also gives them a positive mentality and an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life.
Su Yunshu followed the elderly people and practiced Tai Chi. He might not be very proficient in the first one or two times, but he could follow the movements from the third time onwards.
I already have a foundation in martial arts, and there is no distinction between martial arts in the world. I also know a little bit about other things, so it is natural that I can learn quickly.
An old man standing next to Su Yunshu saw Su Yunshu's movements, which took him only three times to go from unskilled to skilled, and looked him up and down in surprise.
"You can do it, little girl. Have you learned it before?"
Su Yunshu kept moving his hands. When he heard the old man's question, he answered slowly, "I have never learned Tai Chi before. I just have some understanding of Tai Chi."
The old man smiled and praised, "Not bad, not bad, you are very talented. However, the essence of Tai Chi is not only about the proficiency of the movements, but also about the inner peace and concentration."
Su Yunshu humbly accepted the advice, "Grandpa, how can I achieve inner peace?"
The old man closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. "Try to feel your breathing, let your thoughts flow with the breath, and slowly settle down."
Su Yunshu tried the old man's method. At first, he couldn't master the flow of air. After repeated attempts, he understood a little bit. The air moved freely, and he felt much calmer inside.
Gradually, he mastered the trick and his movements became smoother and more natural. Su Yunshu looked at the old man beside him with gratitude, and the old man smiled and nodded to show his encouragement.
As time went by, the old man was no longer surprised by her rapid mastery of Tai Chi skills. Even though they had only been together for a short while, he was already doubly impressed by Su Yunshu's learning talent.
After finishing a set of Tai Chi, Su Yunshu felt relaxed and comfortable, as if there was a peaceful force flowing in his heart. In this noisy world, it is not easy to find inner peace. Maybe this is why those grandfathers like to practice Tai Chi.
