Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 102

With the rise of online payment in recent years, the profession of pickpocket has fallen off a cliff.

But before 2017, there were quite a lot of pickpockets, especially in subway stations, railway stations, People's Square and other places in Shanghai, where pickpockets were even more rampant, almost committing crimes aboveboard. Zhou Shen had also encountered pickpockets before.

At the subway station, his mobile phone was in his trouser pocket, and he was listening to music with the earphone cable connected to it. As a result, the pickpocket cut his earphone cable directly, then pulled his mobile phone out of his pocket and took it away.

He found out right away, and wanted to chase the pickpocket, but another pickpocket companion deliberately blocked his way, and then watched the pickpocket slip away.

It's a pity that the mobile phone he just bought for more than 5000 was stolen for nothing.

Because of this, he hates pickpockets so much.

And of course, all the stealing.

They were all working poor and had little money, but in the end they had to suffer from bankruptcy. The feeling can be imagined.

At this time, the bus had just pulled over to stop, and the two pickpockets got out of the bus quickly.

One of the pickpockets even covered his bleeding hand, and no one in the car dared to stop them, so they just let them run away.

Zhou Shen, who came over with a big bag and a small bag, showed a strange smile on his face. The index finger and middle finger of his right thumb hanging by his side buckled and flicked, and another small stone, like a steel ball out of a chest, was thrown towards One of the pickpockets was shot in the calf.

"puff--"

The pebble traveled a distance of more than ten meters and hit the pickpocket's jeans.

Although it failed to penetrate the jeans, the strong force still caused the pickpocket to fall to the ground with an "oops" in pain.

The pickpocket clutched his leg and ran forward scrambling.

Zhou Shen shot two more hidden stones in a row, but because the distance was too far, they just paused for a while, then fled in a hurry, and finally disappeared into the crowd.

After an episode, Zhou Shen kept practicing Tanzigong along the way.

He discovered that [Banzi Gong] is so powerful that it can shoot through the back of a pickpocket's hand. Part of the reason is skill. Another very important reason is that the qi in his body is unknowingly exerted on his fingers.

Although the consumption is very low, it does use Qi.

And when he carried away the qi on his fingers, the power dropped significantly.

However, within seven or eight meters, small stones can still be inlaid on the big tree. With such power, if you shoot at the body at close range, the consequences can be imagined.

In addition, he also found out that the proficiency of [Balloon Kung Fu] increases very quickly compared to other skills. Basically, if he bounces pebbles two or three times, his proficiency can increase a little.

"I don't know if it has something to do with the lack of physical strength and energy?"

Zhou Shen thought to himself.

Billiard Kung Fu is purely the result of strength, skill and qi. Whether it is upgraded or not, it has no significant effect on physical and mental strength, unlike Xingyiquan, Jumping Zongshu or Tie Nei Shian.

Xingyiquan can exercise skin and fascia, jumping vertical technique can exercise balance, physical fitness, endurance, etc., not to mention the iron inner shirt.

……

Zhou Shen analyzed the reasons along the way and returned to the rented house.

It was past twelve o'clock at this time, and he was about to have lunch. Who knew that Wang Ziqing just drove over to take him to lunch.

Zhou Shen also happened to plan to pay back the favor, so he followed him for lunch.

After lunch, Zhou Shen took Wang Shanhu and others back to the villa.

I ran into Ding Beibei and the others on the road, so everyone came together.

"Where are Lu Jincheng and the others?"

"They went to Lanling."

"Oh. You can sit wherever you want, wash the fruits by yourself, and there are drinks in the refrigerator. Take them yourself, and I won't greet you."

"Brother Zhou, you are busy with your work, we can do it ourselves."

Everyone then found a place to sit, or ran upstairs to the terrace to watch the scenery, or drank tea in the sun in the small yard in front.

Wang Shanhu's nephew, Wang Yuanchu, was the most amazing. He actually brought tea drinking tools with him in the car, and in a blink of an eye he had all the tea drinkers ready, including mineral water...

Zhou Shen ignored them and went to make medicine by himself.

For boiling medicine, he is going to make decoction pills. After the medicine soup is ready, decant it, add starch, knead it into a puree, and then knead it into pills.

After the medicinal soup boiled, he began to simmer it, and then he put it into the wall breaking machine according to the proportion of medicinal materials, smashed the medicinal materials into powder, and then added honey to start stirring.

Keep stirring evenly and it turns into a medicinal paste, which is neither soft nor hard.

Then he put the medicine paste into the pill grinder, and manually pulled the handle on the washboard a few times, and soon a large piece of medicine paste turned into jelly bean-sized pills, which came out of the hole under the washboard. It leaked out of the pocket.

There are seventy or eighty.

The reason for doing two is to do experiments to see which is the most convenient?

Zhou Shen took a deep breath, then picked up three or four Peiyuan powder pills and threw them into his mouth.

"Bajibaji" eating.

He found that the dry medicinal powder was much more bitter than the medicinal soup, even if honey was added, it was just as bitter.

He closed his eyes, and slowly felt the difference between the medicinal soup and the medicinal powder.

"Uh...there is not much difference between the two. After eating, there are symptoms of slight fever in the stomach."

Then he didn't care about Sanqi 42, grabbed a handful of Peiyuan pills, threw about half of a serving into his mouth, didn't even chew, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

Following him, he came to the small garden behind the villa.

First played Baduanjin, and then took off his shirt, revealing a body full of explosive muscles, with broad back and broad shoulders, and a solid skeleton, like a tiger in human skin.

Then, under the incredible eyes of everyone, he did more than 100 push-ups on his head.

After finishing the warm-up exercise, with a thought, I directly locked the pores of the whole body, and began to punch the Xingyi Twelve-Form Fist.

The "eight shapes on the outside" in Twelve Forms and Bajiquan can be said to be in the same line.

"The strength of the dragon-shaped boxing is upwards, forwards and downwards. During the movement, the fist has the force of drilling forward, upward and outward, and the elbow contains the force of wrapping towards the arms."

"In the process of Tiger Pounce's strength, the two palms of the tiger-shaped boxing transform into fists. There is a pulling strength of a downward hook, and then there is a strength of drilling from the lower abdomen upwards through the chest..."

In the past, when Zhou Shen boxed, he never explained it.

But today, when he was punching, he was muttering words while punching.

Wang Shanhu and the others knew that Zhou Shen was telling them to show them on purpose, so they all stared at him with wide-eyed eyes.

Especially Wang Ziqing, with an extremely excited look on his face, he looked greedily and couldn't take his eyes off it.

The opportunity to watch Xingyi Grandmaster practicing boxing is something that can only be met but not sought after. If you miss this village, although the world is big, it will be difficult to find someone who can fight Xingyi better than Zhou Shen.

……

After Zhou Shen finished Xingyiquan, he rehearsed several strength techniques in Bajiquan by the way, including backing mountain strength, wrapping strength, and intercepting thrust strength.

These types of strength are very useful skills in actual combat.

In the past, he liked sticking against the mountain the most, which was in line with his vigorous technique of Fa Jin. Later, he found that Binding Jin and Intercepting Jin are also very easy to use, and can be used to strike later.

An hour later, Zhou Shen's practice was over, and he stood there slowly, calming down the blood in his body.

Seeing this scene, Ding Beibei immediately reminded Wang Shanhu and others in a low voice: "Old man, don't blink, you will see that he is getting angry right away."

Hearing Ding Beibei's words, Wang Shanhu and the others showed excitement, excitement and great anticipation on their faces.

If it weren't for a coincidence, they would never have had the chance to see this kind of martial arts spectacle.

Including Zhang Yawei and Su Qi, both of them watched without blinking.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, Zhou Shen felt the qi and blood in his body calm down.

He opened the closed pores all over his body, and the heat that was sealed in his body gushed out instantly.

"hiss--"

Thousands of strands of white air emerged from the pores of his body, and his whole body was enveloped in a faint white air.

"It turns out that the pores can really be closed and opened!"

Such a terrifying scene made all the onlookers feel unbelievable except Ding Beibei who had seen it once.

Their eyes widened, and the expressions on their faces were as if they saw prehistoric giant beasts and alien civilizations.

Words are no longer enough to describe the shock in their hearts.

The white air in Zhou Shen's body spewed out for a very short time, that is, two to three seconds. The impurities, toxins and part of the energy in the body flowed out with not much sweat, but most of the energy was still locked in the body!

Therefore, even after punching, his physical strength and energy did not decrease as much as before.

Instead, I still feel energetic.

Wang Ziqing was very discerning, and immediately stepped forward with a towel, and said respectfully, "Teacher Zhou, here it is!"

"Thank you!"

Zhou Shen took the towel with a smile, wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck, and asked casually, "How much can you understand?"

Wang Ziqing thought about it and said, "About [-] to [-] percent."

Zhou Shen nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Yang Xingyu and Wang Ziqing are similar, both of them are extremely talented in martial arts.

"Then take advantage of the opportunity, practice a lot, and don't forget."

"Yes, Teacher Zhou!"

Wang Ziqing immediately practiced Bajiquan in the back garden.

But Zhou Shen ignored him, turned around and entered the room.

At the same time, he opened the attribute panel and looked at it. At a glance, he saw that the attribute point had changed to 0.3, that is to say, taking the Peiyuan pill made of medicinal powder directly was effective.

But then he saw that his lifespan was reduced by one day. It is conceivable that directly eating the medicine powder pills made of dozens of medicinal materials will cause certain damage to lifespan, which is much greater than that of medicinal soup.

Medicinal soup often takes five or six meals to reduce life expectancy by one day.

"Sure enough, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. If you want to have less harm to your body, you have to spend a lot of time cooking medicinal soup, and you can't be troublesome when eating it."

"If you want to be fast and simple, your body will inevitably suffer greater damage."

"However, this kind of damage is acceptable. Compared with boiling medicine for two or three hours each time, you have to put it in the refrigerator, and you have to thaw it before drinking it. Although this kind of medicine powder pill is a bit useless, it saves time. , used for cultivation, is enough to make up for the loss of lifespan!"

After thinking about the pros and cons, Zhou Shen continued to make medicinal mud.

Ding Beibei immediately said: "Brother Zhou, shall I help you?"

When Zhou Shen was making the pills just now, she was watching from the beginning to the end.

Zhou Shen said worriedly, "You know how to do it?"

Ding Beibei smiled and said: "I can do it. If you are worried, just watch from the side. I will do it again for you to see."

Zhou Shen then stepped aside and let her do it.

Although Ding Beibei is a rich girl, she can be regarded as ingenious, imitating Zhou Shen to make medicinal mud very quickly.

Quickly make the medicine powder, then add honey and start to stir into a soft and hard medicine mud, then put it into the rubbing board and knead it into pills.

Less than 10 minutes before and after.

"very good!"

Zhou Shen praised, then he plugged in the power of the household dryer, then put the Peiyuan pills in the tray and sent them into the dryer, adjusted the temperature and started drying.

……

……

For the next two or three days, Zhou Shen would continue to run in the mountains during the day and practice the Iron Undershirt during the day, and practice the Iron Undershirt in the sea at night, and at the same time practice the Chifengsui Sleep Skill Daoyin Technique.

Even the mountains on the island, as well as the nearby sea area, were almost covered by him, but it was a pity that he didn't see any shadow of the spiritual creature.

In his spare time, he practiced Tanzi Kungfu, and by the way, he taught Bajiquan to Wang's children.

Everyday life is carefree.

The proficiency of billiard skills has increased rapidly. Without using attribute points to add points, he has already broken through the proficient level and reached the perfect level on the morning of the third day.

This also reminded him that if he wants to learn other skills in the future, don't use attribute points to add points so quickly, he should first understand the growth of skill proficiency.

If you can grow through practice, try to practice by yourself, and save attribute points for those skills and techniques that are difficult to increase proficiency.

However, the pinball skill that has reached the perfection level is really powerful.

In the evening, on the beach.

Zhou Shen and Ge You were lying on the chair.

On the left hand hanging under the chair, three one-yuan coins were spinning between the fingers and the back of the hand, which was extremely cool.

The thin and round coins without edges and corners can't be held by normal people's fingers, but Zhou Shen's hand hangs there, and the three coins seem to be firmly stuck by an invisible rope, and they can't be separated. the palm of his hand.

At this moment, a few people came up behind them, they were Ding Beibei, her classmates Zhang Yawei and Su Qi.

"Brother Zhou, we're leaving. When you come to Gusu, you must remember to visit us!"

"Okay, go slowly, I won't see you off."

Zhou Shen nodded with a smile, but did not stand up.

As his martial arts became stronger and stronger, his mentality also slowly changed, becoming more and more casual, and he didn't care about the eyes of the world.

He doesn't care what others think of him or think of him.

Because he knows that 99% of people and things will become passers-by in his life, so there is no need to take it to heart.

Like Zhang Yawei, Su Qi, including Ding Beibei, may become a symbol in his memory in the future. When we meet again, we may be parents, or already in the ends of the earth.

After Zhang Yawei and his wife bid farewell to Zhou Shen, they said goodbye.

Ding Beibei went to see them off and came back ten minutes later.

"They're gone!"

Ding Beibei sat at Zhou Shen's feet and said, looking at the flickering coins in his hand.

Zhou Shen said: "I should go too!"

Ding Beibei asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Shen said: "I don't know, it should be heading north."

The seawater on the Harbor City side is too shallow, only about ten meters, and this level of water pressure is useless to him now. He plans to go to the Weihai side of Qindao, Lu Province, where the water depth can reach up to 70 meters.

This water pressure can meet his requirements.

In addition, I heard from Wang Shanhu that there are many masters of martial arts over there, such as Taizu Changquan, Chaquan, Xiuquan, Meihuaquan, Tanglangquan, etc. He plans to pay a visit.

"Brother Zhou, can we still meet?"

"We will meet again naturally!"

……

Originally, Zhou Shen planned to leave the next morning, but it happened that the rent was due tomorrow.

But on a sudden whim, after dinner at night, he bid farewell to Ding Beibei and the Wang family, and drove all the way north, towards Qindao...
