Haha, no work today!
The first message of the morning thrilled me. After all, going to work is like going to school for me—necessary
yet incredibly boring.
After quickly getting dressed and washing up, I began my daily morning exercise.
To my shame, I usually do my morning exercise in secluded places. Firstly, it's a rule from my sect, and secondly,
because those movements seem a bit too sinister to the grandparents who practice Tai Chi and flower dances—that's the authentic
Five Animal Frolics!
Don't joke about the Five Animal Frolics that old men do in the park; health preservation and cultivating Qi are two completely different
concepts. The former focuses on "life," a set of methods for preventing, treating, and prolonging life; the latter
focuses on "Qi," absorbing the essence of heaven and earth while cultivating. To put it simply, it's like a martial arts master practicing kung fu, performing a set of
punches, with true Qi circulating through the meridians…
That's the "Qi" in novels, and I don't really understand the connection or difference between the true Qi in a martial arts master's body and the spiritual power I possess
. I can easily use my spiritual power to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. As for
things like flying over rooftops, sending stones flying, or making rivers flow backward with a wave of my hand, those are things that are very far removed from my abilities.
I once asked my master about it, and I was inexplicably scolded by him, who said I was neglecting my
studies and such. After that, I dared not ask again.
My father's judgment has always been very accurate. I've never understood why he misjudged me when he took me to Mount Wutai
. Actually, it's not entirely my father's fault. It's just that the kind-faced old monk was a very good actor
. In public, he presented himself as a compassionate bodhisattva saving all living beings from suffering, but in private, he was a complete
old scholar. To be honest, he alone was enough to withstand the pressure from all my teachers during my school years
.
It was no easy feat; I finally made it to the day I barely graduated. The reason I persevered was because I'm
quite afraid of death. Ever since I learned that my uncles, grand-uncles, and great-grand-uncles were all long-lived immortals, I
secretly vowed to master the mystical arts and live a long and fulfilling life.
It's truly not easy; one has to go through the six realms of reincarnation to be born into this colorful world.
Wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't live a long life? Hehe. Moreover, based on my more than ten years of experience, mystical arts
are quite useful for small things in life, such as watching things unsuitable for children or eavesdropping on other people's private matters. Of
course, I've also reported a criminal gang once.
After studying the Dao for more than ten years, the only skill I'm truly proficient in is the "Listening Technique."
I don't know if the name "Listening Technique" comes from a legendary mythical beast, but it's said to be a deity possessing a treasure under the command of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Although the Listening Technique doesn't possess
much magical power, it has a special ability: sound-based location. In the familiar Journey to the West,
the scene where Sun Wukong battles the Six-Eared Macaque features the remarkable performance of Di Ting. At that time, besides the Buddha, among all the gods and Buddhas,
only Di Ting could distinguish the true Monkey King from the false one.
While mystical arts are infinitely useful, they are also quite exhausting. Last night's spellcasting, combined with the aftereffects of excessive drinking, left me
feeling completely drained this morning.
Alas, if only I had my senior brother's talent.
Thinking of my senior brother brings back a painful memory. Back then, I had just entered the sect and was forced by my master
to practice the Five Animal Frolics every day until my whole body felt like it was falling apart.
My father abandoned me after sending me to the sect, and I, being a determined child, gritted my teeth and persevered
for three days before I couldn't take it anymore. All I could think about was how to escape home.
My senior brother, Wujizi, was usually quite caring, and I considered him a good person, so I begged him to help me escape. He naturally
refused, instead explaining the many benefits of mastering the Five Animal Frolics.
Later, seeing that I was determined, he said fiercely that if I were to enter the world, I wouldn't be able to outmaneuver
women without a strong physique. I didn't understand what he meant then, and I only vaguely understand it now. I was just about to ask him why
when my senior uncle, who happened to be passing by, caught me. You should know that the person passing by was a whole temple away from us
!
From then on, I realized that passing by could be so formidable! My senior uncle's ability to hear was clearly at its peak; he
could hear whispers from afar even while walking.
Alas, at that time, I broke the precept of keeping vows and was punished by washing dishes for a month. My senior brother broke the precept of lust and was directly imprisoned
for a month. I don't know if it was my bad luck or his bad luck that day, but in any case, I dared not have the
thought of escaping again and gritted my teeth and persevered. Who knew that this perseverance would last for more than ten years.
Days passed in a repetitive cycle. Rain or shine, the first thing I did every morning was practice the Five Animal Frolics.
It's said that the Five Animal Frolics was created by the legendary physician Hua Tuo, who imitated the lifestyles of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and crane.
The Five Animal Frolics is a biomimetic exercise that combines strength and gentleness, internal and external harmony, and
the powerful spiritual energy possessed by these five mythical beasts is closely related to their movements.
I pulled myself together, steadied myself, and gazed at the clear, bright sky.
Ah, what a beautiful day!
The blue sky, the leisurely drifting white clouds, the stars still lingering in the distance—except for
the gentle breeze, like a lover's caress, everything was immersed in this moment, a tranquil dawn.
I silently felt the cleansing power of nature and began my morning practice.
Back in school, I would hide in the back hills or secluded corners to practice.
In short, I go wherever there are fewer people. Now that I live with this guy, I'm pretty sure of
one thing: his sleeping skills are such that, apart from his peculiar alarm clock, nothing can wake him.
So, I've been openly practicing my morning exercises on the balcony every day.
The Five Animal Frolics, as the name suggests, imitates the life forms of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and crane. The tiger pounces,
the deer runs, the bear sways, the monkey leaps, and the bird flies. To achieve the desired effect, not only must the movements be lifelike, but even the sounds must be incredibly realistic,
aiming to reach a state of returning to simplicity.
Perhaps it's because I've practiced it for so long, but I've also developed a special affection for the Five Animal Frolics. It's something that's good for longevity,
how could I not have feelings for it! As a culture that has been refined over time, it has a long and rich history. Even just the folk traditions have
benefited people immensely, let alone when combined with the unique techniques passed down through my master's school.
I remember falling once when I was little, and it hurt my back badly. My father took me all over the city to find
a hospital, even going to Shanghai, but I still had frequent pain and couldn't do strenuous exercise. This problem was a
nightmare of my childhood.
But after practicing the Five Animal Frolics, I don't remember the pain ever returning.
Some things can't be explained by science, so we can only rely on metaphysics.
And the knowledge in metaphysics is vast and profound. For someone like me who has no talent, it's even more mysterious
. Fortunately, my interest in it has allowed me to learn quite a bit.
Just as I was roaring enthusiastically, I suddenly heard some unusual noises from the next room. I
listened carefully, and the sound became clearer. It was the sound of slippers rubbing against the wooden floor. Then a figure appeared
on the balcony next door.
"Ah Ming? Why are you up so early?" Liu Yun looked sleepy and hadn't slept enough. Her usually bright
eyes were noticeably swollen.
Damn! "Did you stay up until dawn? Did you just fall asleep a little while ago?
" "Yeah, I got up early to exercise." I swung my arms and legs, not daring to
glance at her revealing outfit any longer. Even from five meters away, I could clearly see the two protrusions on her silk dress
.
Liu Yun covered her mouth and yawned, "Heh, you're really diligent! Were you shouting just now? Or
was there a tiger roaring?"
I knew she was referring to a small artificial hill across the street. If there were tigers there, would
n't the wild game restaurants be booming?
"Uh…maybe my speakers were too loud and disturbed you. Sorry, sorry!"
"It's okay, we disturbed you last night too." Liu Yun smiled ambiguously, then stretched
.
Wow, girls working for foreign companies are really something! Even their subtlety is so direct!
I don't know if she did it on purpose, but when she lowered her hand, the right shoulder strap slipped down a little,
just resting on her breast—so perky!
Gazing at that expanse of white, my salivary glands were stimulated, causing me to swallow hard. This subtle action
was a bit lewd; I hoped she hadn't noticed, otherwise it would become the laughing stock in their bed again.
Liu Yun seemed oblivious, simply waving her hand: "You're busy, just turn the music down."
With that, she swayed her ample buttocks towards the back of the room. Looking at that arched shape, I excitedly
widened my eyes. Haha, another win!
Was she not wearing underwear? Probably not, otherwise there would definitely be marks.
Dong Yan is damn lucky; he changes girlfriends one after another, and what's even more infuriating is that each one is more
alluring and beautiful than the last. He even managed to hook up with this one, supposedly Manager Liu's private mistress.
Jealous as I am, Dong Yan is indeed a pretty good returnee, at least compared to other returnees
. Perhaps it's fate, but aside from his womanizing ways, Dong Yan is also a friend I can get along with quite well.
After Liu Yun returned to her room, perhaps afraid I would disturb her sleep, she closed the balcony door behind her.
I returned to my own room listlessly, closed the doors and windows tightly, turned on some music, and practiced the
Five Animal Frolics again, only adjusting the shouts to low growls.
After my morning exercise, I felt much better, my whole body relaxed, and a familiar sense of joy flowed through my veins.
I hummed a little tune as I went out, thinking, "Tonight is crucial; I need to prepare properly."
