Chapter 40 The Ancient Tai Chi Technique
The tiring day is over, and tomorrow has arrived.
Xiao Chen walked towards the school gate, but he suddenly remembered something and chose to go to the park near the school first.
He's in a good mood today. Although he was defeated by Zhou Yuan in test scores, but in these two days, he felt that the Goddess of Fortune blessed him.
He went to the casino several times and won a lot of money. Not only that, but he also went to an antique shop and accidentally found a martial art technique.
The park was quiet, and he wanted to practice those martial arts moves in here.
Xiao Chen warmed up for a few minutes and immediately practiced the moves.
He started to follow the instructions in the book. These movements seem to be in harmony with nature. From those punches and movements, it was Tai Chi.
Meanwhile, an old man was standing with a beautiful girl.
The old man was wearing the traditional clothes of the Tang dynasty, and he looked at Xiao Yan with admiration.
He was intrigued by Xiao Chen's movements.
"Liyue, what do you think? He's pretty great, right?" The old man said with a smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's an ancient Tai Chi move that has existed since the Qin imperial era. I've seen it on an ancient scroll, but it's not complete."
"Looks like he's about to perfect those moves." The old man smiled and stroked his beard.
"What? That's impossible."
"Well, let's see him first."
The old man was truly amazed when he saw all of Xiao Chen's movements.
......
He could see that Xiao Chen was doing all those moves while looking at the book.
It looks like the book contains ancient Tai Chi moves.
"Liyue, what do you think? He is still a teenager and has good martial talent. I believe he is a match for you." The old man said with a smile as he looked at Xu Liyue.
"Grandpa, I'm only 21 years old, are you telling me to get married at a young age? Let me focus on my work." Xu Liyue said with a frown.
"Hahaha, I was just kidding. But it's not bad either to have a great-grandson at my age."
Xu Liyue sighed when she heard her grandfather's words. Her grandfather always jokes with her by telling her to have a boyfriend.
She certainly didn't want to. She had just graduated from military school and chose to become a cop and have a career there.
...
About 10 minutes passed, Xiao Chen stopped practicing the moves.
But his expression did not show satisfaction, but rather confusion. He had already done those moves according to the book.
But he felt strange, the movements were exactly the same as what his master had taught him.
But this version of the book is incomplete and there are some wrong moves.
"My luck wasn't that good. I got an imitation product." Xiao Chen sighed and said.
He took his bag and was about to go to his classroom, the bell was about to ring and he had to go to class.
"Hey little friend, wait."
Xiao Chen suddenly stopped when he heard a voice from behind.
He turned around and saw an old man dressed in a Tang dynasty outfit and next to him was a beautiful girl wearing casual clothes.
Xiao Chen raised one of his eyebrows, he looked at the girl next to the old man. She is very beautiful.
"You can stop looking at me." Xu Liyue said displeasedly when she saw Xiao Chen's behavior.
Xiao Chen realized Xu Liyue's words and smiled, "Ah, I'm sorry. It's rare for a girl to accompany her grandfather. You must be a good girl."
Xu Liyue just gave him a glare, "You're just a pervert."
Xiao Chen chuckled, "Hey, how is that possible? I'm a nice guy."
"Hmph." Xu Liyue only snorted when she heard Xiao Chen's words.
"Okay, I think that's enough. Little friend, what's your name?" The old man asked.
"My name is Xiao Chen. And you?"
"I am Xu Kun, the patriarch of the Xu family. And next to me is my granddaughter, Xu Liyue." Xu Kun said with a smile.
"Oh I see, then, what are you calling me for?" Xiao Chen nodded then asked.
"It's about those moves, I believe they are ancient Tai Chi moves that have been lost, and you practice them through the book's instructions. Where did you get that book?" Xu Kun asked curiously.
"That book? I bought it from an antique shop, it's only 100 Yuan." Xiao Chen said lightly.
"What? 100 Yuan?!" Xu Kun and Xu Liyue's expressions were surprised when they heard Xiao Chen's words.
Only 100 Yuan. If the book was genuine from the ancient Qin empire, then the price could be more than 1 million Yuan.
And Xiao Chen only bought it for 100 Yuan. He was too lucky.
"Why are you surprised? The price of the book is worth its contents. This book is an imitation and the Tai Chi movements are incomplete and imperfect."
"What?"
"Xiao Chen right? Let me check the book." Xu Liyue said as she took the book from Xiao Chen's hands.
Xu Liyue studied the book for a minute, and her expression was surprised.
"This, this is the original book, I can see that it is more than 2000 years old."
"What?" Xiao Chen was surprised when he heard this.
He had practiced the contents of the book, and it was indeed incomplete and imperfect. But the book was created 2000 years ago?
"Xiao Chen, I know you are young and can't see the Treasure. What if I buy it for 1 million Yuan?"
"Old man, are you sure? The book does contain Tai Chi moves, but it is incomplete and imperfect."
Xu Kun raised one of his eyebrows, "How did you know?"
"Because I have mastered the movements. And I did not follow the contents of the book, but was taught by my master."
"Taught by your master?" Xu Kun hesitated when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
"How can you prove it if the Tai Chi moves in this book are incomplete?" Xu Liyue suddenly said.
"I can practice it in front of you. But, what's the benefit of me doing that?"
"Well, if you can prove it, I will buy this book for 2 million Yuan. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen glanced at Xu Liyue and smiled, "How about one kiss on the cheek?"
Xu Liyue's expression became sullen and she looked at Xiao Chen with a stern look, "That won't happen. I'd rather kiss my dog than you."
"Hey, am I lower than a dog?" Xiao Chen sighed.
"I think that's enough playing around. Prove what you say and I'll buy the book for 2 million yuan, I'll also give you a Tianjia pavilion membership card." Xu Kun suddenly said.
"Okay, I agree." Xiao Chen nodded.
He didn't know what the Tianjia pavilion was, but he thought that it was not bad. Moreover, he would also earn 2 million Yuan.
"But if you can't prove your point, this book will be mine." Xu Kun smiled and his expression was like that of a sly old fox.
"Deal."
Xiao Chen had no problem with that. He is very confident.
.....
After that, he began to do the Tai Chi movements.
His every movement was like the wind and in harmony with nature.
Each of those striking strokes and movements indicated a high-level Tai Chi technique.
Bang!
Xiao Chen patted the ground and it instantly cracked like a spider web.
Then he made a palm movement, the movement rhythmic to the wind and as soft as silk.
Whoosh!
Xiao Chen's palms made a strong wind so that the tree branches blew in the wind.
Xu Kun's expression was amazed, the movements were very beautiful and soothing. He felt that every move had a purpose.
But Xu Liyue's expression was full of surprise. She watched Xiao Chen while looking at the book. All the moves are exactly the same as the ones in the book, but there are a lot of different moves, but they're perfect.
She started to think about Xiao Chen's words that he had mastered the Tai Chi movement perfectly by his master's teachings.
If that master could perfect these moves, she imagined how powerful he is.
