Chapter Thirteen: Five Animal Play

"Have you, kid, still practiced the Wu Qin Xi that I taught you?" The long-haired grandpa changed the subject when he saw Li Xuyang's anxious look.

When Li Xuyang heard Grandpa Changfa mention Wu Qin Xi, he had a lot of questions and needed advice. "I have seen some information and videos about Wu Qin Xi on the Internet. Why is it different from the Wu Qin Xi I practice?"

"On the web, what web?" Mr. Changfa may have understood it as a spider web or a fishing net.

"The Internet!"

"Cherry Net? What kind of net is that?" The long-haired grandpa became interested, his eyes like a curious child.

Grandpa Changfa couldn't explain it clearly, so Li Xuyang made a random analogy: "It's like TV, on TV." He gestured while talking.

The long-haired grandpa finally understood the general idea, "Are you saying that the gymnastics we practice have a rich history?"

After listening to Grandpa Long-haired's words, Li Xuyang almost spewed blood. Grandpa Long-haired Emotion still knows nothing about the origin of Wuqinxi?

"What has a great origin? It simply means a great origin, very great." Li Xuyang will always be a child in front of his long-haired grandfather.

"Then tell your grandpa to listen."

"Grandpa Long Hair, do you know Hua Tuo?"

"Slip, what slipped?" The long-haired grandpa looked puzzled.

Alas, I can't communicate at all, "It's Hua Tuo, the famous miracle doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty! You don't even know this?"

"Oh!" The long-haired grandpa's mouth opened wide, as if he suddenly understood, "I don't know."

I'm so depressed! Li Xuyang feels like he's about to faint.

"I know Li Shizhen and Zhang Zhongjing, but I don't know Hua Tuo." The long-haired grandpa didn't seem to be joking, "Oh, I think about it, isn't he the Chinese miracle doctor who wanted to open the head of the Han thief Cao Cao? Look at my memory."

Grandpa Fa patted his forehead.

When Li Xuyang saw that there was something going on, his dizzy brain came to his senses, "Isn't Wu Qin Xi a bionic technique created by Divine Doctor Hua based on the shape of animals?"

The long-haired grandpa pondered for a while, then looked up at Li Xuyang, "No!" The long-haired grandpa shook his head.

What? Li Xuyang felt like his eyes were about to pop out of his eyes. Did you remember correctly? Could it be that I have been practicing Wuqinxi for more than ten years, and I am still practicing a copycat version?

"I heard that the founder of Wu Qin Xi was named Wu." The long-haired grandpa said with certainty.

"Mr. Hua, was his surname Wu? No, there is no information that Hua Tuo's surname was Wu! Oh, I see, that's it." Li Xuyang almost jumped up when he thought of this.

The long-haired grandpa looked at Li Xuyang curiously. This boy was startled. What's going on?

"Wu Pu, it must be Wu Pu." He pointed at the long-haired grandpa and laughed happily.

"My ancestor's name is Wu Pu. Why are you so happy? It's like you found a treasure."

It seems that the Wu Qin Xi he practices is not only a copycat version, but the authentic Wu Wu Qin Xi which has been lost for hundreds of years. Wu Pu was Hua Tuo’s first disciple. Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Tuo. Wu Pu learned everything from Hua Tuo’s life.

The Wu Qin Xi was popularized because Wu Pu further perfected it based on Hua Tuo's research on the bionic exercises, so it was popularized and spread among the people. Unexpectedly, it was lost in the war hundreds of years ago.

Some modern traditional culture researchers do not want a national treasure like the Five-Animal Opera to be lost, so they organize it based on relevant information, compile it into the Five-Animal Opera, and promote it across the country to achieve the goal of national fitness. Therefore, the Five-Animal Opera that Li Xuyang saw in the online video is similar to the Five-Animal Opera.

The reason why my practice is so different.

Grandpa Changfa looked very happy after listening to some of Li Xuyang's introduction. He did not expect that Wu Qin Xi had such a far-reaching origin and such a huge influence. But which one is better and worse is the Wu Qin Xi studied by scholars and the Wu Qin Xi performed by the grandfather and grandson?

Neither grandfather nor grandson can explain clearly.

"Hehehe, boy, I haven't seen you for so many years, why don't you give me some practice and see if I make any progress?" The long-haired grandpa stood up and walked outside the house.

Li Xuyang looked at the long-haired grandpa's silver beard fluttering in the wind, and felt deeply guilty in his heart. He should come to see the long-haired grandpa every year in the future. Although the long-haired grandpa looks very healthy, after all, he is more than a hundred years old.

Already.

"You should start practicing, why are you standing still?" The long-haired grandpa smiled and blamed the stupid Li Xuyang.

Li Xuyang stood upright in the courtyard, took a deep breath, focused on his Dantian, eliminated distracting thoughts, leaned down, pressed his hands on the ground, pushed his body forward and inhaled, and then paused for a while, then retracted his body and exhaled.

Qi, start practicing Wu Qin Xi’s Tiger Opera.

Li Xuyang's eyes are bright, he moves his head and tail, pounces and fights, sometimes like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain, sometimes like a hungry tiger pouncing on food... His movements are strong and powerful, with softness in the hardness, and a combination of hardness and softness, making the tiger and tiger powerful.

The long-haired grandpa saw this, stroking his silver beard with his hand, nodding slightly, with a happy smile on his face.

After a tiger play, Li Xuyang practiced the deer play, bear play, ape play, and crane play all at once. The deer play is like a deer, with a calm mind and a relaxed body, with a stretched posture, leaning out, raising the neck, running, and looking back with a lifelike expression.

The bear play is as strong and steady as a bear, shaking luck, resisting and relying on naivety, yet powerful and powerful, with the aura of swallowing up the heaven and the earth.

During the ape show, the walking expression is like that of a naughty ape. He is heavy but light, agile and active. He can jump up mountains and streams, climb trees and branches, and pick peaches and offer fruits, all with a lifelike expression.

The crane play can't help but make people's eyes shine. Li Xuyang's attitude is upright, leisurely and contented. He spreads his wings, flies lightly, flies wildly, and is independent. It makes people feel like they have entered a fairyland on earth.

After Li Xuyang completed a set of four moves of Wuqinxi, his head was already covered with mist and smoke.
