The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 114: Flying Dragon in the Sky, Qian Gua Nine Five

Inside the hall, wind and rain beat against the doors and windows. The sheep-oil candles on the nine-tiered candlesticks flickered and were about to go out.

Zhao Xu slowly closed his eyes.

His hands were as white as his eyes, and the veins on the joints were completely invisible.

"No, it's still not right. Why is it still not right?"

There was a bronze mirror in front of him, reflecting his body. He had just seen the changes in his eyes, and his appearance was like a paper doll.

He said to himself, "There is one move missing from the Thirty-Three Postures. The Sheji lacks Yanyun, and the Golden Bowl is missing. So, it doesn't work? No, that's not right. It can't be related to this."

There was another moment of silence.

"Perhaps it's because my mind is not open enough. The country is not complete, my mind is not open enough, my mind is incomplete, I am always worried, and my mind cannot be peaceful and complete, so it is difficult to deduce successfully."

He stood up slowly and looked forward, where smoke was curling from the beak of the bronze crane incense burner.

"If Taizu had not died, would he have recovered Youyan? Did Taizu really master the thirty-third punch?"

The palace door was suddenly blown open by the wind and rain, and the candlelight went out with a whoosh.

"There are no such things as yes or no. Regardless of whether it is related to boxing or not, Yanyun will be taken back, and Xixia will be recovered."

He looked outside the palace gate. The rain was pouring down, and the night was endless...

On the northern foot of Mount Song, a black donkey hid in a secluded cave in the mountains. The entrance of the cave was covered by bushes, and the branches and leaves rustled in the wind.

It ate the offerings it brought back from the mausoleum, making loud chewing sounds and swallowing the incense and candles into its stomach.

Afterwards, he seemed a little dazed, and uttered a few high-pitched noises, which penetrated the rain curtain outside and were heard far away. Then he yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Ti stopped in Yangwu County, dozens of miles away from Tokyo, but did not enter the city. He spent the night in a military tent outside the city.

Ah Zhu used a small silver stick to gently stir the lamp wick, while Zhao Ti scribbled on the table, but in his heart he was thinking about Taizu's Changquan.

Because he did not know martial arts such as the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms, even though he had learned the Taizu Long Fist well before, he had not figured out the true power and meaning of the fist.

This kind of thing cannot be tried bit by bit, otherwise you may end up not being able to finish it even if you spend years trying. No matter how talented you are, it is difficult to imagine, because it is like a castle in the air, just like the rice paper in front of you, you can draw anything on it at will, without repetition, it is simply endless.

Unless there is a move like Flying Dragon in the Sky, you can directly refer to it and apply it to other similar situations.

Zhao Ti believed that Qiao Feng had already made Fei Long Zai Tian the best of Tai Zu Chang Quan, but this was not necessarily the true meaning and power of Tai Zu Chang Quan.

I can only say that it is indeed close and has some truth to it.

The flying dragon is in the sky, Qian hexagram nine five, Tuan said: The flying dragon is in the sky, it is created by the great man.

It means that the dragon flying in the sky has reached the time to do great things.

The meaning of the first posture of Qiao Feng's Taizu Changquan: A flying dragon in the sky, with great potential.

With this posture, you sweep forward halfway, strike in mid-air, and seize the initiative. Use a leap to burst the Qi in Dantian. When you feel the strength rising, relax your muscles and bones. Use the power of your fist to overwhelm your mind. Focus on the acupoints in the Crimson Palace and quickly use your palm power to take down the enemy from top to bottom.

It is a killing punch that crushes the attacking enemy.

Zhao Ti closed his eyes and thought. At this time, Ah Zhu said softly, "Your Highness, I'm going back."

Zhao Ti didn't say anything. Ah Zhu quietly left the tent and went back to the tent next door.

Wang Yuyan was reading in the tent. Seeing her return, she said with some anxiety, "Azhu, it's raining so heavily." Azhu said, "Don't be alarmed, young lady. Heavy rain usually lasts only a short time. It won't last too long. It will subside soon."

Wang Yuyan asked, "What is your highness doing?"

Ah Zhu smiled and said, "He is in a daze. Maybe he is thinking about martial arts. It's hard to say."

Wang Yuyan said "Oh" softly when she heard it, as if she was thinking about something.

At this moment, Zhao Ti was pondering over and over again the Flying Dragon in the Sky, which had great potential. The meaning of the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms must be very close to the first posture of Taizu Longquan.

As to whether there is a difference in strength and how big the difference is, it remains to be considered.

If the first form can be completed perfectly, then the second form can be deduced, after all, the original boxing stance already exists.

Since this set of Taizu Changquan has only been passed down to emperors of successive generations, Zhao Xu would definitely not give it to anyone. Whoever obtains this boxing will become the emperor. If Zhao Xu passes it to someone else now, wouldn't that mean he is abdicating and no longer wants to be the Emperor of Song?
It will only be revealed when a crown prince is appointed in the future, or when one is about to die.

Zhao Xu had no descendants and died suddenly. He could not move or speak before his death. He passed away without designating an heir. It is very likely that this boxing technique was lost.

Judging from Zhao Ji's later performance, it can be basically concluded that he had never learned the true Taizu Changquan.

This set of boxing has been valued since the time of Taizu, and it has been passed down from generation to generation after Taizong. Emperors of all dynasties could not help but practice it, so there must be some secret in it.

Knowing clearly that the 33rd form is difficult to deduce and that making a mistake will lead to various adverse consequences, one still goes on to learn it and deduce it over and over again. It is impossible that there is no secret.

Because even if it is an invincible fist, there is no need to practice it so hard knowing that the consequences will be serious.

The most dangerous thing is to deduce the thirty-three forces. The previous ones should not be so serious and will not be so difficult to deduce. Moreover, it is easy to stop when you don’t know what secrets are contained in them.

After all, Taizong held back.

Zhao Ti kept thinking in his mind, then stood up and practiced in the big tent, performing the first posture of Taizu Changquan according to Qiao Feng's fist intention and force generation method.

Unlike watching, one could only feel Qiao Feng’s might when he was fighting, but now that he is doing it himself, he knows how powerful the power contained is.

But it is not enough. If it were just this much power, it would not seem worthy of being passed down from one person to another, nor would it contain any big secrets.

Zhao Ti fell into deep thought. The meaning of boxing is "have great potential". What other meanings are similar to "have great potential"?
Do whatever you want? Do whatever you want? Do all kinds of evil? No, Taizu Changquan is a grand boxing style, it must not have any dark meaning, it should have the aura of kingly way and domineering.

Zhao Ti frowned. Show off one's talents, make great plans, and work hard?
The meaning of boxing is the intention of boxing, the spiritual connotation of boxing, and the spirit that dominates boxing. It cannot be such empty talk.

The movement of the mind is called intention, and intention originates from the mind. When the mind moves, then there is intention, so the mind and intention must be unified.

Fist is where the mind goes, Qi originates from the mind, Qi leads the mind, rise and fall, advance and retreat are all dominated by the mind, the mind comes before the Qi, the mind and Qi are one.

However, Qi manifests itself as force, and force is manifested throughout the body. Qi has the function of supervision, and force has the ability to select and reject. Only when there is Qi can there be force, and force can be exerted when Qi is smooth.

Then the intention must be able to guide the qi and control the force. Ordinary intention will not work.

Zhao Ti shook his head, as if his train of thought had gone astray. A flying dragon in the sky is a good sign for you to see me, Your Excellency. It was created by Your Excellency.

There is no need for adults to separate them. Just look at the phrase "flying dragon in the sky". If you don't consider the Book of Changes, the surface meaning is easy to understand.

The flying dragon is a metaphor for the emperor, who exists somewhere. The sky is the high altitude, or the temple is different from the world.

Qiao Feng's punch was inspired by the I Ching, which was a bit complicated. What if we only looked at the superficial meaning of Flying Dragon in the Sky? Zhao Ti's heart was moved when he thought of this.
