Chapter 13 Five animals playing in the wild
When practicing Tai Chi in the water, there is no obvious feeling at first.
But a week later, when he came out of the water and started practicing Tai Chi again, he felt that the energy in his body was transmitted much more smoothly than before.
It was as if there was an invisible big hand caressing his body, helping him exert strength.
Seeing that the Tai Chi experience bar was almost full, Wang An was hopeful.
In Xingyi Martial Arts Hall, Wang An’s favorite thing to do is to sparring with Li Xinzhu.
Li Xinzhu used Xingyi Quan, while Wang An practiced Tai Chi.
One is fierce and domineering, while the other overcomes strength with softness.
Li Xinzhu was quite enthusiastic at first and wanted to show Wang An the beauty of Xingyiquan and ask him to give up Tai Chi and practice Xingyiquan instead.
However, he didn't expect that Wang An's Tai Chi was very powerful. As soon as his Beng Fist touched his body, he used his skill to remove it.
At the beginning, at least five or six of the ten punches were able to land, and slowly, seven or eight out of ten were removed.
No matter how fast or fierce he is, the opponent can always remove him in a leisurely and unhurried manner. There is something about using softness to overcome toughness.
“Stop, I won’t practice with you anymore. Tell me the truth. How many years have you been practicing Tai Chi?” Li Xinzhu really hated this style of fighting.
“Less than three months.”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. You have already realized the power of Tai Chi and the power of Tai Chi. It is impossible for you to have achieved this level of knowledge without five or six years of diligent study and practice." Li Xinzhu didn't believe Wang An's words at all.
“Believe it or not.” Wang An said with a smile.
Just like this, he studies hard, practices hard, thinks, and summarizes, and he is making progress every day.
Early in the morning this morning, Wang An got up and was about to go to the park to practice Tai Chi.
Suddenly a voice was heard.
“Task, healthy body: restore your body to a healthy state (a healthy body is the prerequisite for everything), completed.
Reward, Wuqinxi. "
The stream of light shone, and a large amount of light and shadow instantly flooded into the mind, and each movement and a series of formulas were reflected in the mind.
Wang An called up the panel and found that there was an extra skill.
Wu Qinxi (entering the hall),
The first of the five animals is called the tiger, the second is called the deer, the third is called the bear, the fourth is called the ape, and the fifth is called the bird.
The five-animal trick can be performed at will, and sweating is used as a measure. If there is sweat, the body is coated with powder to eliminate grains, increase energy and strength, and eliminate all kinds of diseases. Those who can survive and perform it will surely prolong their lives.
Practice the tiger play to strengthen the muscles and bones and increase qi and blood; practice the bear play to become calm and vigorous and gain strength; practice the monkey play to become more flexible; practice the bird play to become lighter.
Exercising the five animals externally will strengthen the five internal organs internally, dredge the meridians and unblock the meridians. This is a wonderful way to strengthen the body and maintain health. Moreover, Wu Qin Xi and Xing Yi Quan are from the same source but different streams and have quite a lot in common.
It is much easier to practice Xingyi Quan after practicing Wu Qin Xi.
Hahaha, Wang An laughed happily.
A healthy body, is there anything more worthy of happiness than this?
Wang An went to the park humming a little tune and immediately started practicing Wu Qin Xi in the park.
Tiger, bear, ape, deer, bird,
Hu lift, tiger attack, bear luck, bear shake, ape pick, ape lift.
The postures are quite weird, attracting the attention of people passing by.
“What is this man doing? It’s like playing monkey.”
“Keep your voice down, I’m exercising. When I passed by yesterday, I saw this guy and an old man practicing Tai Chi.”
"Looking at the posture, could it be the legendary "Yi Jin Jing"?"
“That’s nonsense, come on, I’ll record a piece for him, post it online, and ask the omnipotent netizens.”
Someone secretly filmed Wang An practicing Wu Qin Xi and then uploaded it at night.
“Choose a catchy name,
Wang An concentrated on practicing Wu Qin Xi and did not hear the conversation in the distance. The Wu Qin Xi corresponds to the breathing method.
The postures and movements are matched with the breathing. Every movement and breathing method of this set of Five Animals has been deeply imprinted in my mind.
All he has to do now is to display them and let his body adapt.
“Wu Qinxi experience +5.”
“Wu Qinxi experience +3.”
The prompts keep coming.
After practicing it once, I feel the blood surge all over my body intuitively, my whole body feels warm, and my body is sweating, as if every pore has been opened.
Transparent and comfortable.
Li Juewen also came to the park and stayed not far away watching Wang An practice the Five Animals Opera with a somewhat confused expression.
"What kind of kung fu is this? It looks weird. Where did he learn it? Why have I never seen him practice it during this time?"
After Wang An finished practicing Wu Qin Xi once, he stepped forward to say hello.
“How can you practice so well?”
"Wuqinxi."
“Wu Qin Xi, Wu Qin Xi created by Hua Tuo?” Li Juewen asked in surprise.
Wang An smiled and nodded.
“Who did you learn this from?”
“I figured it out myself.”
“It doesn’t look like it, but you can’t figure this out by yourself. If you practice randomly, things can easily go wrong. I know a few people who either sprained their knees or injured their waists because they had no one to guide them in practicing Tai Chi.”
Li Juewen reminded Wang An very seriously.
“Oh, I’ll note it down.” Wang An nodded.
“Do you want to practice?”
“Forget it, I’ll just practice Tai Chi.” Li Juewen waved his hands and said with a smile.
Wang An immediately felt much smoother after practicing "Five Animals" and then doing Tai Chi. There are similarities between the two.
He felt a little hungry when he left the park.
“It’s only been two hours, but I’m already hungry so quickly.”
He went to a porridge shop on the roadside and ordered a bowl of lean meat porridge and two meat buns. After eating, he walked to the martial arts gym.
In the afternoon, Wang An had another arrangement besides swimming, practicing Wu Qin Xi.
He hasn't noticed any other effects of practicing Wu Qin Xi yet, but one thing is very obvious, that is, he gets hungry quickly!
Even if I specially added a piece of beef for lunch, it still couldn’t withstand the double consumption of swimming and Wuqinxi.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, he had to start cooking. He stewed a pot of beef in a casserole, fried a large plate of vegetables, and steamed a pot of rice.
An hour later, I looked at the empty plates and empty bowls on the table.
“Why did the appetite increase so much all of a sudden!?”
After dinner, I went downstairs for a walk to eat. When I came back, I was watching a video and accidentally saw a video of practicing Qing Gong.
There is no advanced method, just walk bricks, stack several pages of bricks together, line them up in a straight line, and walk on them.
Once it becomes smooth, change it to a triangle, quadrilateral, or hexagon. This is where you start practicing changing directions.
Once you have mastered these exercises, you can start practicing standing single bricks.
After you become proficient with single bricks, you can walk around water tanks or baskets.
"You can try this. It's definitely not possible to just practice upstairs. You have to find another place, such as a park." Wang An thought.
There are also footwork in Tai Chi, but these methods are not mentioned.
“I wonder if this is considered a wild road?”
