Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 17
Under the guidance of the Ba Duan Jin Dao Yin Technique, Qi and blood slowly walked forward along a fixed route.

It's like a stream flowing in a dry ditch.

This ditch has not only dried up long ago, but also has potholes inside. When the "water flow" flows there, it will feel stagnant. It needs to guide the airflow to continuously impact and fill up the bottom of the pothole.

This is nothing, the most important thing is that the meridians in the human body extend in all directions, if you don't know the route and lead the water to run around, you may get lost.

It's okay to get lost, at most a little "water resource" is wasted.

I'm afraid of encountering these dangerous places, as I said before, being obsessed can be big or small.

So if he had any doubts, he would stop and glance at the diagrams and notes on the computer, and then close his eyes and continue to guide.

During this process, he found that the screen of the laptop was a bit small, which made it difficult for him to read it.

"Go back and buy a bigger TV!"

This thought flashed in Zhou Shen's mind, and then he continued to sink into cultivation.

Baduanjin Daoyinshu Neijiaxinfa is not only slow to practice, but also very cumbersome.

After finally guiding the qi and blood to walk along the heart meridian of Shaoyin, one hour and 10 minutes have passed.

And this is just one of the five main meridians.

But Zhou Shen not only did not have any impatience, but was even more enthusiastic.

Why do ordinary people feel bored when studying?
Because there is no progress bar, I can't see my own learning progress, and I don't know whether my grades have improved. Over time, I feel tired of studying.

But Zhou Shen is different. Not only does he have a progress bar, but he has also practiced a health-preserving technique such as "Longevity Jue", so his subjective initiative is naturally full.

After taking a short rest for 10 minutes and drinking a glass of milk, I felt full of energy, so I made persistent efforts.

While Zhou Shen was muttering words, he was doing the movements of Ba Duan Jin Dao Yin with his hands.

Cover the ears with both palms, put the index finger on top of the middle finger, then slide it down hard, and flick it on the back of the head, like beating a drum (this is the Qigong term "Ming Tiangu"), flick the left and right fingers 24 times at the same time.

Originally, his mood was a little ups and downs, but miraculously, when he finished the movements, his mood immediately calmed down, as if these movements had the effect of calming the mind.

In fact, he had discovered it before, but at that time, his mental power was concentrated on guiding Qi and blood, and he didn't observe it carefully.

And after finishing this movement, Zhou Shen immediately found that the airflow that seemed to exist at the fingertips suddenly became clear.

And he entered the "inner listening" again, and heard the sound of blood flowing in his body.Although the sound is very small.

This time it is the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin.

"It starts from the middle burner, connects with the large intestine downwards, wraps around the stomach and passes through the diaphragm, which belongs to the lungs, comes out from the lung system, descends along the inner side of the upper arm, and runs in front of the Hand Shaoyin Meridian and Hand Jueyin Meridian..."

As before, Zhou Shen practiced slowly, opening his eyes to glance at the laptop screen with a little doubt.

……

This time it took nearly an hour, Zhou Shen managed to guide the Qi and blood through the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin.

After opening his eyes, Zhou Shen felt a little tired.

It's not that I'm tired physically, but mainly because I'm tired mentally, and I'm cautious, for fear of being misguided.

However, he felt that even if he became proficient in the future, it would definitely take a lot of time to run the Daoyin technique once.

This is just the five main meridians. If the eight extra meridians are added, it will definitely take more time.

It's no wonder that in movies and TV shows, practitioners often sit for most of the day, and some don't even move for a day or two.

And he also discovered one thing, the airflow that guides the blood to open up wasteland was quite thick at the beginning, but when it came to the second time, the airflow was only half of the thickness at the beginning.

And as the second half connects with the Hand Yang and Large Intestine Meridian, the airflow is as thin as a wire, like a candle in the wind, which may go out at any time.

"This is different from the TV novels. The protagonists in the TV novels are always full of energy after practicing their internal skills, but the reality is that practicing internal skills is a very exhausting thing, and it is impossible. After practicing, he is still in good spirits."

Zhou Shen thought secretly in his heart.

Then he opened the property panel and looked at it.

【Name: Zhou Shen】

【Life: 190 days】

【Physical Strength: 7.5】

【Energy: 6.3】

[Cultivation method: Ba Duan Jin for beginners (98/100) Longevity formula for small success (81/200)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute point: 0.4]

Zhou Shen saw at a glance that his life span had increased by 5 days.

"No, today is already a day, it should be 6 more days!"

Needless to say, it must be the reason for practicing Baduanjin Daoyin.

He knew that practicing inner family mentality could prolong life, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good!
"It's no wonder that most monks and Taoists live long lives. They don't need to work hard, exercise every day, and practice inner family health-preserving skills. It's no wonder they don't live long!"

However, Zhou Shen was also a little surprised to see that his physical strength and energy decreased by 0.2/0.3 respectively.

He didn't expect that practicing the internal method would consume so much energy and energy.

But I didn't pay too much attention to it, as long as my lifespan doesn't decrease, my physical strength and energy will automatically increase after I sleep.

As for the 0.4 attribute points below, 0.2 of them were accumulated yesterday, and he didn't add them to the longevity formula in the morning.

In addition, 0.1 is the energy of breakfast. I don’t know where the remaining 0.1 came from. It is probably related to the practice of Ba Duan Jin Dao Yin.

Zhou Shen immediately opened the document and recorded this discovery, so that he can compare it later when it rises again.

When he was halfway through the recording, he suddenly thought of something.

"When I was channeling Qi and blood before, doing those movements could make me enter a semi-trance state. Why is that?"

"Could it be that the movements of the Longevity Art have the effect of calming the mind?"

"It's possible! Just like the principle of bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and cleaning hands before practicing, it is essentially to calm one's mind during this process."

"If you omit these steps, you should be able to practice, but you can't concentrate so quickly?"

Zhou Shen wrote down all his insights one by one.

Then he looked again, and after there was no problem, he closed the laptop.

Then he added all the 0.4 attribute points to the longevity formula.

The next moment, the proficiency of the Longevity Art suddenly rose from 81/200 to 121/200.

The physical strength and energy that had dropped before not only recovered, but also increased a little, becoming 7.8/6.7.

The life expectancy has suddenly increased by 15 days, reaching 205 days.

As the data in all aspects increased, Zhou Shen also felt that his body was getting better and better in all aspects, as if he had just had breakfast in the morning.

He even felt that the internal strength that had been exhausted before had recovered a lot.

Just when he was about to try it out, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his stomach.

He is very familiar with this feeling, he has experienced it before when he upgraded the Longevity Art.

Before he had time to think about it, he immediately ran downstairs.

I don't know if it was because of practicing Daoyin, Zhou Shen felt so hungry that he almost passed out.

After eating a bowl of cold shrimp noodles, a bowl of eight-treasure porridge left over from the morning and two eggs, I finally suppressed the feeling of unbearable hunger.

It was already eleven o'clock after eating, and when he was about to go out for a walk to digest his food, the person who sold "Sanyunfei" suddenly called grandma and asked where her home was?

After reporting the house number, Zhou Shen was about to go out to wait, but was dragged back by his grandma.

"You stay at home, don't go out!"

After speaking, the little old lady took the money and walked out.

Zhou Shen stood in the house and watched. After a while, a man wearing a helmet came over on a battery scooter, and there was a snakeskin bag on the floor mat under the battery scooter.

The two chatted for a while, and then paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. Soon the man rode away on the battery car again.

The little old lady came in with a snakeskin bag, handed the bag to Zhou Shen, and said, "If someone asks me in the future, they will say that grandma bought it. Do you hear me? Grandma is so old, no one dares to drag me away." Go to jail."

After speaking, the little old lady turned around and went to cook.

Zhou Shen was deeply moved, grandma's love is always so selfless and unreserved.

What can he say?

I can only show more filial piety to grandma in the future!
