When Li Feng arrived at the Pet Home, he checked the time and found it was exactly eight o'clock. He was a bit early.
With nothing else to do, Li Feng locked his bicycle to the railing at the entrance of the Pet Home and then strolled to the park near the square.
It was already past eight, and the elderly people who had been doing their morning exercises were already in the final stages. Many of them were beginning to pack up and leave in small groups.
Li Feng still went to the secluded corner where he had practiced before, stood still, and began his exercises.
This time, Li Feng did not practice the "Five Beast Body Tempering Technique" but chose a set of Tai Chi, which was very popular in the current health and fitness community, from the old Taoist's mental avatar.
As he began the opening movements of Tai Chi, Li Feng's spirit, energy, and mind instantly converged. He seemed to transform into a floating cloud, as graceful as flowing water, light and ethereal, like a stream.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves on the treetops to fall. The leaves drifted slowly, eventually landing on the ground and on Li Feng, who was practicing under the tree.
However, Li Feng did not pay attention to the falling leaves. As he continued his practice, his mind gradually immersed itself in the essence of Tai Chi.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle!" Another morning breeze blew, and dozens of leaves fell from the branches. This time, however, they did not land on the ground. As they passed by Li Feng, a无形的拉扯之力 suddenly appeared with the movement of his fists, sweeping the leaves into his embrace.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle!" As Li Feng continued his Tai Chi, the invisible pulling force grew stronger, gradually expanding to a one-meter radius around him. All the leaves within this radius were pulled into his embrace, both on the ground and in the air.
From a distance, Li Feng looked as if he was hugging a large basketball made of leaves, which was quite bizarre!
Fortunately, there were not many people in the park at this time, so no one noticed Li Feng's unusual state!
After finishing his Tai Chi routine, Li Feng slowly came back to his senses.
"What's going on?!" Li Feng inadvertently looked down and was startled. He suddenly noticed that a circle of leaves had formed around him, with him at the center!
No, it wasn't just a circle! Li Feng examined it closely and saw that there were two arcs formed by twigs and two small circles made of leaves on either side of the circle!
This was clearly a Tai Chi symbol!
"Did I do this?" Li Feng blinked, vaguely recalling that during his practice, he had grasped a bit of the true essence of Tai Chi, releasing a bit of Tai Chi energy that pulled the leaves into a large sphere. In the final stage, the Tai Chi energy in his hands burst out, dispersing the sphere of leaves into the Tai Chi symbol!
"Damn! I went too far!" Li Feng shrank back, immediately looking around. He found that there were only a few people in the park, and none of them had noticed him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Almost got tricked by the old Taoist again!" Li Feng slapped his forehead in frustration, immediately recalling a passage from his cheap master's memory!
Back in the day, the old Taoist had traveled the world and met a secular martial artist with whom he hit it off. They discussed martial arts and philosophy, debating Tai Chi and Yin-Yang, and had a great time together (the last part was purely Li Feng's personal imagination).
When they parted, the old Taoist, disregarding the rules of his sect, privately taught the other man a body-tempering secret technique from the Beast Taming Sect, which was second only to the "Five Beast Body Tempering Technique." In return, the secular martial artist gave the old Taoist a secret boxing technique he had created.
This secret boxing technique was Tai Chi, and the secular martial artist was named Chen Wangting!
"Chen Wangting..." Li Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. In recent years, several TV series about Tai Chi had been broadcast, and Li Feng naturally remembered that Chen Wangting was the famous ancestor of the Chen family in Chenjiagou and the founder of Tai Chi!
In other words, the Tai Chi routine Li Feng was practicing now was the ancestor of all Tai Chi!
Suddenly, a thought popped into Li Feng's mind: If the descendants of the various Tai Chi schools found out that he had the original Tai Chi routine passed down by Chen Wangting, what would the consequences be...
"Whoa!" The thought of thousands of Tai Chi practitioners coming to him made Li Feng shudder. "Low profile! I must keep a low profile!"
Li Feng muttered to himself as he quickly left the park!
Damn! Next time, I'll just do the ninth set of radio calisthenics!
Li Feng didn't know that shortly after he left, the old man he had met the previous day rushed into the park and came to the corner where Li Feng had been. After looking around and finding no one, he sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
"Grandpa, why are you in such a hurry? The park is damp in the early morning, be careful of slippery paths!" At that moment, a clear and pleasant voice, like a skylark, called out from behind the old man, sounding slightly reproachful but very soothing.
Following the voice, a young and beautiful girl in a sportswear outfit ran around the corner of the park and appeared in front of the old man. Her face was flushed from running, and her fair, delicate oval face made her look very charming.
"Ah! He's gone! He might have already left!" The old man sighed and shook his head regretfully. "I'll check again tomorrow!"
The girl, seeing the old man muttering about someone, asked curiously, "Grandpa, who are you looking for?"
"A young man," the old man said, then added, "a young man who knows the Five Animal Exercises!"
"A young man who knows the Five Animal Exercises?" The girl blinked her clear, beautiful eyes. "Grandpa, why are you looking for him? Did he offend you?"
"No, no!" The old man waved his hand. Although he was disappointed at not finding Li Feng, his experience in life had taught him to remain calm in the face of setbacks.
In just a few breaths, the old man recovered from his disappointment and beckoned to the girl, "Come on, you little girl. It's not the weekend today, so you should hurry back to school!"
"What's the big deal?" The girl pouted, stepped forward, and hugged the old man's arm. "I don't have classes this morning! I can stay with you all morning!"
"That's great!" The old man laughed heartily. "Having the famous campus beauty of Zhonghai University accompany me, those little brats at Zhonghai will be so jealous!"
"Grandpa!" The girl blushed and stomped her foot. "That's just a bunch of lechers talking nonsense, and you're joining in to tease me!"
The old man glared at her, "Who says it's nonsense? Those people definitely have good taste!"
"Grandpa, you're at it again!"
"Ha ha, I won't say more! I won't say more. Come, let's take a walk!"
For a moment, the park was filled with the laughter of the grandfather and granddaughter.
"Grandpa, look, there's a Tai Chi symbol here! It's made of leaves!"
"Hmm, it might be something someone made while resting after their morning exercises..."
