Chapter 42, Tai Chi Gives Birth to Yin and Yang

"Is that so?"
Zhang Xin smiled and said, "Then you two can practice and let the older brother see."
"Sure." Lin Yanbing raised her pretty face, smiled crispily, then turned her head to look at Lin Yanshu, drew her wooden sword from her waist, looked proud, and raised her hand saying, "Brother, it's your turn."
Lin Yanshu helplessly drew out the wooden sword from his waist and said, "Little sister, be careful." After speaking, he took a step forward and swiftly moved forward, stabbing Lin Yanbing with a sword, using the 'Broken Sword Style' and the 'Spiraling Shadow Nine Forms' body technique.
Lin Yanbing chuckled crisply, raised his hand to block the sword stance, and used the 'Dugu Nine Swords - Sword Breaking Technique'. Then, his figure swiftly moved, and his pure Yin internal energy surged as he executed the 'Spiraling Nine Shadows' and 'Horizontal Empty Shift' to the extreme.
During the swift movements, the air seems to be filled with the howling of evil spirits, mixed with the fierce Yin winds of the Ghost Hell.
To be precise, Lin Yanbing is the rightful successor of the "Nine Yin Manual" in the world. The pure Yin Qi surges within his body, unleashing the mighty power of the "Nine Yin True Gold" martial arts techniques.
The eerie wind of the Ghost Prison blew, causing even Zhang Xin's eyes to briefly glimpse a vision of hell, let alone Lin Yanshu?
Even though Lin Yanshu's pure yang internal energy shielded his ears, blocking out most of the noise, he couldn't help but be perturbed by the illusions that appeared before his eyes. When he raised his sword to parry, his speed was inevitably slowed by a few fractions.
At the sight of this, Lin Yanbing chuckled crisply and the pure Yin true qi within his body surged, his speed getting faster and faster. In the empty courtyard, only the clear sound of a sword resounded, as a green figure seemed like a ghost, disappearing and reappearing, surrounding Lin Yanshu from all directions.
"Ding."
Finally, Lin Yanshu lost the competition.
After dissecting more than fifty moves, Lin Yanshu's wooden sword was knocked off by Lin Yanbing's sword, and he easily won the competition.
"Elder brother, am I amazing?"
Flicking the wooden sword, Lin Yanbing sheathed his sword, raising a smiling face and asking in a crisp voice.
Raising his chin slightly, he appeared extremely spoiled.
"Not bad."
Zhang Xin smiled slightly, nodded his head.
After finished speaking, he also looked at Second Brother and said, "Yanshu, you shouldn't be discouraged either. 'Pure Yang Infinite Gong' is the inner skill practiced by the founder of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng. The more you practice, the deeper your understanding will become. When you reach a certain level, you will be able to catch up with Yanbing, or even surpass him."
"Yes, elder brother, I understand," Lin Yanshu picked up the wooden sword, with a determined look, nodded and said.
"Hmph."
Lin Yanbing snorted arrogantly and said, "The state of combining strength and flexibility is not something that anyone can achieve. Among the many members of Wudang Sect, how many have actually achieved this?"
"I will definitely practice and succeed!"
Lin Yanshu's tone was firm, and suddenly he said something shocking: "I won't get married anymore if necessary!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xin's expression changed and he angrily scolded, "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The sound rolled like thunder, causing the air in the courtyard to solidify.
The expressions of Lin Yanshu and Lin Yanbing froze, fear evident in their eyes. They both lowered their heads, trembling slightly, as if facing strong winds and torrential rain. They resembled two quail, shaking in the stormy weather.
After they were born, their mom and dad were extremely kind to them and never wanted to scold or hit them.
Only the eldest brother...
Although he usually acts kind, he is actually very strict.
If anyone annoys him, he will explode with anger, so the two siblings are very afraid of him.
Zhang Xin angrily said, "This thought must not be entertained! I do not engage in worldly desires; I have seen through the vanity of the world. Can you be the same as me? As the saying goes, if you can pick it up, you must also let it go."
"Big brother, I was wrong."
Lin Yanshu lowered his head with his hands hanging by his side, tears welling up in his eyes, and muttered softly.
Zhang Xin's anger remained unabated, and he said coldly, "Although the 'Pure Yang Infinite Skill' is the main martial art of Wudang, many people have become monks and practiced it since the second generation disciple, but who can surpass Zhang Sanfeng?"
"To cultivate martial arts and avoid worldly desires, one must be a madman!"
"You must never think like this again! Do you understand?"
"Yes." Lin Yanshu nodded with lowered eyes.
"I have really set a bad example for you all! If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have taught you martial arts and let you practice the Lin family's 'Seventy-Two Paths of the Exorcising Sword'."
Zhang Xin's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly.
Lin Yanshu and Lin Yanbing lowered their heads and trembled, afraid to take a breath.
After a while, Zhang Xin's anger gradually subsided, and he said in a deep voice, "It's good that you know your mistakes. I have closed myself off for ten years and my martial arts have reached their peak. It's time for me to leave the mountain and visit my parents."
After finishing speaking, I took a step forward and held the hands of Yan Shu and Yan Bing, gracefully walking out of the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, over ten burly men stood with their hands down, who were the escorts of Fwei Foon Escort Agency. When they saw Zhang Xin leading his siblings out, they immediately showed respectful expressions and simultaneously clasped their fists, saying, "Young Master!"
Zhang Xinhang nodded and smiled, "Follow me down the mountain, my seclusion is over."
After saying that, without even looking at the ten sturdy escort guards behind him, he took a step forward and swiftly leaped ten zhangs away, holding the small hands of Yanshu and Yanbing, demonstrating the light-body skill of Wudang Tiyunzong.
The posture was graceful and ethereal, taking several tens of strides in one step, and floated down the mountain.
……
"Pure Yang Infinite Power" is the core technique of the Wudang Sect, as well as the orthodox divine power of Taoism. After the internal breath in the lower abdomen is full and surging, and a mouthful of "vaporous and precious qi" is cultivated, this skill can be considered perfected.
Furthermore, it requires meticulous practice over the years to cultivate and develop the "vital energy" or "Qi" within oneself.
If one can go even further and comprehend the meaning of "Taiji gives birth to two polarities, the two polarities give birth to four phenomena, and the four phenomena give birth to the eight trigrams," then one can achieve the pinnacle state of "dividing Yin and Yang with a single breath," reaching a state where "Yin and Yang flow endlessly and eternally."
This step is also the pinnacle of martial arts in the world.
Because in a sense, it represents 'attaining the Tao'.
The "Tao Te Ching" says, 'The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.'
The Book of Changes, said: 'The Book of Changes gives birth to the Taiji, which gives birth to the two principles, the two principles give birth to the four symbols, and the four symbols give birth to the eight trigrams.'
Kong Yingda said: "Taiji means before the separation of heaven and earth, where the primordial energy is mixed as one, which is also known as the Supreme Beginning, the Grand Unity."
In the world, the principle of harmony between rigidity and flexibility, and the interconnectedness of yin and yang, represents the ultimate truth.
To go further, there is only one sentence mentioned by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching, which seems to foreshadow the realm behind 'one', that is 'nothingness'.
既‘无名天地之始’的‘无极生太极’之意。
若说‘有名天地之母’的‘太极生两仪’,是天人相通的‘真一得道’境界;那么‘无名天地之始’的‘无极生太极’之意,便是世间修炼者的最终目的,虚无永恒了。
Because this step represents 'the beginning of everything', 'what can heaven and earth add to it?'
But to reach this step, Zhang Sanfeng did not describe it in the content of the 'Pure Yang Wuji Gong', apparently he did not reach this realm either. However, he finally reached a certain step, which makes Zhang Xin imagine endlessly.
    I wish I could meet them in person and discuss the path they trod.
    "Oh, Zhang San Feng, the founder of Wudang, how I long to meet you." During my ten years in seclusion, as I honed my skills to perfection, I daydreamed of the figures of my predecessors and esteemed masters, wishing I could have a chance to meet them.
