Chapter 156 Five Animals Play
Early the next morning, after Lin Xuan woke up, he saw Sun Simiao practicing Kung Fu in the yard.
Lin Xuan took a closer look and found that it was somewhat similar to the Wu Qin Xi that was passed down from later generations, but there were some differences.
"Master Dao, is this Wu Qin Xi you practice?" Lin Xuan asked aloud.
Sun Simiao didn't answer right away. After finishing a set of movements, he stopped and said, "It's the Wu Qin Xi!"
"I've seen other people practice Wuqinxi, but it's a little different from Taoist Priest's practice," Lin Xuan said.
Wuqinxi, also known as Hua Tuo Wuqinxi, is an ancient method of health preservation inherited by Hua Tuo, a medical scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the law of yin and yang, five elements, viscera, meridians, and blood circulation in traditional Chinese medicine, he observes the movements of animals and uses tigers, deer, and apes. A set of health-preserving and fitness exercises created with animal images and movements such as bears, birds, and birds.Hua Tuo Wu Qin Xi, the five movements have their own characteristics and emphases, but they are also a whole. If you can regularly practice comprehensively, you can play a role in recuperating the spirit, regulating qi and blood, nourishing the internal organs, dredging the meridian and activating collaterals, etc.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Hua Tuo's Wu Qin Xi was more popular.Liu Zongyuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, had a poem "I heard that Taoism is a five-bird show", and Lu You in the Song Dynasty also had a poem "peckering and laughing at oneself like a lone crane, how can you guide the five birds?" .It can be seen that in the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, Hua Tuo's Wu Qin Xi was widely disseminated for its profound Chinese medicine principles and ancient health preservation essence.
After Lin Xuan traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he also saw people practice it, which is similar to what was passed down in later generations.
But with Sun Simiao, the difference is a bit big.
Sun Simiao said with a smile: "When Hua Tuo created Wuqinxi, he taught many people. This is how the current Wuqinxi has been handed down. But those people only learned a little bit. I am lucky to have the original Wuqinxi, so I naturally practiced with them. no the same."
It turned out to be the case.
It may be that some things have been lost because of the inheritance from generation to generation, or it may be like Sun Simiao said, they have only learned some superficial knowledge.
But since Sun Simiao got the original version of Wu Qin Xi, according to Sun Simiao's character, he should not hide his secrets, so why didn't it be passed down to later generations?
Sun Simiao saw Lin Xuan's doubts, and explained: "The original Wu Qin Xi not only needs to cooperate with the corresponding breathing method, but also needs a certain understanding to practice it, which is not suitable for ordinary people to practice."
"Daoist, what are the benefits of practicing the original Wu Qinxi?" Lin Xuan was a little curious.
Sun Simiao did not answer this question directly, but said: "I think Lord Hou should have martial arts skills, and he is also extremely extraordinary, but with bare hands, Lord Hou is definitely no match for this old man."
Lin Xuan didn't believe it. As the saying goes, "Fisting is afraid of the young." Sun Simiao is now 90 or 50 years old. Although he looks like he is [-] years old, it is impossible to beat him.
Moreover, he has integrated Zhao Yun's martial arts. Although his boxing skills are not as strong as spear and sword skills, ordinary people will not be his opponents.
Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Don't believe me? Do you want to try it?"
"Since the Taoist priest said so, then I'll try it!" Lin Xuan said.
"Come on then."
"Daoist, be careful!"
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he punched Sun Simiao directly.
He was worried about hurting Sun Simiao, so he only used three parts of his strength. Even if Sun Simiao couldn't dodge, he could stop in time.
Sun Simiao smiled faintly, and with a flick of his body, he dodged easily.
"You should use all your strength, otherwise you won't be able to touch me." Sun Simiao said.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised, he just stared at Sun Simiao with all his attention, afraid that he would not be able to hide, so he could stop.But he didn't see clearly how Sun Simiao escaped.
"Daoist, be careful!"
Lin Xuan reminded, and quickly attacked Sun Simiao. This time he did not dare to underestimate Sun Simiao, and used [-]% of his strength.
When Sun Simiao's fist was close to him, Lin Xuan's fist fell to the side of his body, and his palm was cut on Lin Xuan's arm like a knife.
Sun Simiao didn't use much strength, and Lin Xuan didn't feel much pain, but for some reason, his arm went limp in an instant, and he couldn't use any strength.
Lin Xuan looked at Sun Simiao with some horror. It was too scary for him to lose his ability to respond so simply.
No wonder Sun Simiao often goes to the deep mountains to collect herbs, but he is not afraid.
Even in later generations, when animals became scarce, some wolves, tigers and leopards would sometimes run out of the mountains.Let alone in ancient times.
"Wu Qin Xi makes the old man's body lighter and stronger. Although the old man's strength has weakened a lot with age, but the old man is very familiar with some weaknesses of the human body. Therefore, the old man can make you lose the ability to resist in an instant." Sun Simiao explained.
"Daoist, is this the power of the original Wu Qin Xi?" Lin Xuan asked.
He always thought that Wu Qin Xi was a kind of aerobics, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Sun Simiao nodded and said: "When Hua Tuo created the Wu Qin Xi, he observed the movements and postures of tigers, deer, apes, bears, birds and other animals. Later generations did not observe the movements and postures of animals. They only practiced the form and lacked spirit. Coupled with the loss of the corresponding breathing method, the effect of strengthening the body is not significant."
"Master Dao, can you teach me the Wu Qin Xi?" Lin Xuan asked.
Seeing the power of Wu Qin Xi, Lin Xuan wanted to learn it very much.
He didn't care much about martial arts before.
But since he learned about being a knight, he needs to go to the battlefield. As long as he is free, he will practice martial arts every day.
After being assassinated, he became more interested in martial arts.
Although he is now a marquis, and his soldiers have increased to 100, what if something unexpected happens?
Sun Simiao said: "Your Majesty wants to learn, the old man is naturally willing to teach, but if you want to learn it, you must often observe the movements of tigers, deer, apes, bears, and birds. It is also the reason why the old man did not pass it on."
He has been walking in the mountains and forests all year round, and often encounters some wild animals.
If ordinary people go hunting for wild animals just to practice Wu Qin Xi, they will undoubtedly go into the mouth of a tiger.
"Daozhang, I understand." Lin Xuan nodded.
He has the skills of taming animals, and he is not afraid of wild animals at all. Observing the movements of animals is very simple for him.
Seeing that Lin Xuan insisted on learning, Sun Simiao said, "Then the old man will teach you the breathing method of the tiger show first. After you are familiar with the breathing method, the old man will teach you the movements."
The breathing method is not difficult, the main thing is to cooperate with the movement, Lin Xuan memorized it after a stick of incense.
"Master Dao, I am already familiar with the breathing method." Lin Xuan said.
Sun Simiao nodded and said, "This old man will show you a tiger show."
Sun Simiao landed on his hands and feet, and moved forward and backward three times, then raised his waist and raised his head, walking like a tiger, moving forward and backward seven steps.
When Sun Simiao was doing these movements, he was as powerful as a tiger.
Sun Simiao stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Come and try."
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan imitated Sun Simiao's previous appearance, lying on the ground with hands and feet.
"When doing movements, remember to cooperate with the breathing method taught by the old man." Sun Simiao reminded.
Lin Xuan nodded, breathing according to the method Sun Simiao taught before.
After all, Lin Xuan has martial arts in his body, and Tan Tiantian practiced martial arts during this period of time, these movements of Huxi are not difficult for him at all.
According to the actions Sun Simiao did before, Lin Xuan did it again.
Lin Xuan got up and asked with some expectation: "Master Dao, how am I doing?"
Sun Simiao said: "The breathing method is not well coordinated. Although the movements are standardized, they don't have the aura of a tiger. If you want to practice tiger play well, you need to practice more, let your breathing and movements echo, and then observe the tiger's moving posture more. .”
Is it the behavior of the tiger?
Lin Xuan's heart moved, and he said, "Master Daoist, I'll try again."
Lin Xuan lay prone on the ground, and the scene of encountering a male tiger during winter hunting appeared in his mind.
At that time, the male tiger roared in the mountains and forests, showing the aura of the king of all beasts.
Lin Xuan brewed for a while, and then moved.
Sun Simiao looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, he actually felt a tiger's aura in Lin Xuan.
Although it is very light, but Lin Xuan is only the second practice.
"Master Hou should have seen a tiger before." Although Sun Simiao was asking, his tone was full of affirmation.
Lin Xuan nodded, and told the story of bringing the tiger back when he encountered a tiger while hunting in winter.
Sun Simiao nodded, and said: "So that's how it is. As long as Lord Hou observes those tigers a lot and practice hard, he will be able to practice tiger plays well. After Master Hou is proficient in tiger plays, I will teach Lord Hou some other plays." .”
Lin Xuan said in surprise, "Daoist, did you agree?"
Sun Simiao did not agree to him to stay in Chang'an yesterday, but now that he said so, it means that he agreed to Lin Xuan's proposal yesterday.
Sun Simiao smiled and nodded.
"Master Dao, let's have breakfast first, and I will enter the palace later to persuade His Majesty to write a book for you." Lin Xuan said hastily.
Sun Simiao shook his head and said, "I haven't written the book yet, so I'm not in a hurry. You can help me build the hospital first. I want to treat the people as soon as possible."
He was not worried about making books. Lin Xuan was not only a marquis, but also a son-in-law. He believed that Lin Xuan could do it.
What he wants most now is to practice medicine as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, Taoist priest, I'll take care of this right away. Before the hospital is built, I will prepare a medical clinic for Taoist priest in Chang'an for the Taoist priest to use first." Lin Xuan said.
"Then thank you, Lord Hou!" Sun Simiao said.
