Kapitel 74: Five Animals
It wasn't often that Hua Tuo had visitors. He was initially excited when Buddha called him. He looked forward to passing on his knowledge to young ones. However, when the elven guardian heard him, he ran away. The old deity was slightly disappointed but he was good at waiting. After so many centuries of practising the art of patience, he could afford to wait a few more days before he started tracking his lost students.
He was certainly not expecting to find two moontaur girls passed out outside of his door. These girls had no affiliation with his students and Hua Tuo wondered what to do about them. He could feel that both his students were near and didn't worry too much. Perhaps they were simply nervous about greeting their teacher. Hua Tuo decided to allow them the space and time they needed to get familiar with him.
As for the moontaur sisters, Hua Tuo decided that it was best not to rouse the sleeping lions as they say it back on the first Earth. Moontaurs were known to be short-tempered and extremely unreasonable. They were violent creatures with a great physical advantage in strength and speed. Hua Tuo may be a Sage God but unlike normal Gods or Great Gods, Sage Gods are only granted immortality. They were not immune to pain or injury. If the moontaur girls decided to kill him, Hua Tuo only had his brain to rely on. There was no way he would win in a fair fight against these natives.
Hence, Hua Tuo did the only logical thing. He concocted his best poison and prepared many splash potions to disarm the moontaurs should they become hostile. After checking his supplies, Hua Tuo decided to start his day.
The air in the mountain was fresh and it was one of the reasons Hua Tuo chose to spend his time on Endow Hill cultivating his Godhood. His domain was medicine and while medicine usually came in the form of pills or something edible, it was a very vast field. Hua Tuo had absolute control over the cells in his body. By cultivating them with the magical infused air of Endow Hill, Hua Tuo was able to create the divine body of his ideal choice.
It was always about balance in medicine. To counter a heat type of illness, one uses a cooling nature to suppress it. To nourish the frail immune system after an intense battle with virus, one must consume rich food high in vitamin. To balance the power struggle between good and evil, one must understand the flow.
This philosophy of balance was created by many Great minds. From Confucius to Meng Zi and Lao Tzu, all the great people have discussed it. Few have attained this balance but those who understood this fragile nature of balance were all Sage Gods with a few exceptions like Steve Jobs who was given a divine soul blessing by one of the Great Gods.
Dawn was the balance between day and night. It was a crucial time where the body had to adjust between waking and sleeping. Sudden changes are not good for the mind. This has been a practice since Hua Tuo was alive. Every dawn, he would wake up like clockwork and start this strange dance routine that starts with the tiger and ends with the bird.
For a good half an hour, Hua Tuo repeated the same actions several times before changing forms. The tiger form helps to alleviate back pains, neck and shoulder stiffness. It is important to sufficiently relax the muscles and put everything back to the right place after a long night. Like spring, after the tiger comes the monkey. Agile like a monkey, this form promotes better circulation and heats the body up from the inside. Breathing deeply will allow for better respiration. Once the body is sufficiently warm and the blood is flowing, Hua Tuo moved to the bear form which represents stability. The core of the body must be firm like the bear. Doing this exercise will help to strengthen one's digestion system. Only with a good digestion system, one can proceed to have a good immune system like a bird soaring to the sky. Finally, one must remember where they come from and come back down to Earth. With a strong foundation built, one must learn to relax and be grounded like a deer.
By the time Huo Tuo was ready to tend to his fields, the sun was just beginning to cast its rays across the sleepy land. The moontaur girls were still sound asleep and from the looks of it, so was his student hidden among the trees.
Hua Tuo smiled. The young ones certainly have a long way to go.

Destiny_Aitsuji If you're curious about the exercise, it's called Qi Gong. You can search Wuqinxi (五禽戲) aka "Exercise of the Five Animals". They are tiger, monkey, bear, bird and deer. Although modernisation has changed some of his practices, the idea is the same.
