Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 25 Confirmation
Just arrived home Jingdong express arrived.

The two big TV sets he bought arrived home.

When the little old lady saw that her grandson bought herself a huge TV, she naturally complained about wasting money.

But when the courier praised her grandson for his filial piety, she couldn't help but smile.

After the TV was installed, the installer from the telecommunications company over there also came.

Before he opened the Internet TV, but did not let the other party come to install it.

The installer installed and debugged the Internet TV three times, five times and two times.

Amidst the envy and praise of several old ladies who came to visit, Grandma Zhou Shen smiled from ear to ear while pretending to complain about her grandson's waste of money.

Then, at the request of Zhou Shen, he tried on the fashionable and young brand clothes he bought in the county today.

Envious of a group of old ladies in the neighborhood, they praised Zhou Shen for his filial piety.

The little old lady was naturally even more elated.

After dinner, grandma went to the street to dance in the square.

Zhou Shen followed when he had nothing to do.

But grandma was sitting in the old lady's old man music next door, and he walked there on foot.

He now needs to practice his external strength.

Of course, I also experimented by the way, is my idea correct?
If it's not right, it's a headache!

"When I came back in the afternoon, I forgot to buy barbells and dumbbells in the county. Forget it, let's skip rope tonight. See how it goes?"

Passing by the bookstore in the town, I bought a skipping rope.

Then he walked near the small river on the north side of the playground.

I found a place where no one was around near the grove, threw the skipping rope on the ground first, and practiced Wudang Baduanjin first.

After warming up, he started Xingyi boxing.

I have to say that the difference between Xingyiquan and Baduanjin is too great. If the Xiaocheng-level Baduanjin is soft in the middle, with needles hidden in the cotton, and hard and soft, then the five techniques of Xingyiquan, each Every move is vigorous and fierce.

Zhou Shen did not bring inner strength, but purely practiced moves.

Chop, collapse, drill, shoot, cross!

He played it twice in a row, and each time he felt unsatisfied, as if he could do better next time.

But instead of continuing to hit, he stopped to rest for a while, then picked up the rope on the ground and started skipping.

No matter how well Xingyiquan is practiced, it is useless without good physical fitness as a foundation.

Just like in the car this morning, the inner strength and punching techniques have been well coordinated, but the result is that his hand was injured.

So next he needs to carry out special training in physical fitness and fighting.

But physical fitness and combat training are extremely painful things.

Rope skipping is easy to say, anyone can jump a few times, but it is really tiring until you actually jump.

Zhou Shen's physical fitness has basically reached the level of normal people, but after jumping 100 times, he was out of breath.

He stopped to rest for 1 minute, then continued to dance.

It turned out that the more I jumped back, the more tired my knees and feet were, and I was out of breath.

After three consecutive jumps, sweat started to flow down my forehead.

By the second half of the fourth set, he couldn't even lift his knees.

Can only stop.

His chest and back were soaked with sweat.

"Hoo hoo... How is this skipping more tiring than... than running?"

Just as Zhou Shen was gasping for breath, the square dance on the playground was over, and those old men by the river who played chess, sang, and practiced health-preserving skills also began to walk towards him in twos and threes.

At this moment, he saw Mr. Liu who taught him Baduanjin.

"Ms. Liu... have you gone back?"

Seeing that it was Zhou Shen, Liu Weiming was overjoyed, walked over and said, "Hey, Xiao Zhou, it's you, why didn't I see you just now?"

Zhou Shen panted and laughed, "I...I skipped rope here, so I didn't pass."

Liu Weiming said: "Let me tell you. I sent you Weixin a message this morning, but I didn't see your reply."

Zhou Shen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I did see the message you sent, but I was doing an inspection in the county court at the time, but I forgot to reply."

To be honest, he was very grateful to this teacher Liu. If the other party hadn't taught him Baduanjin on a whim, he didn't know what it would be like now?
Liu Weiming asked with concern: "Why did you go to the hospital? Is there something wrong with your body?"

Zhou Shen smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a normal physical examination, it's fine, everything is normal."

"It's fine. By the way, Xiao Zhou, I read the formula of longevity you sent me. There are some things I don't understand. I would like to ask you to give me some pointers. Do you have time?"

Liu Weiming asked with a face full of thirst for knowledge.

Zhou Shen said straightforwardly: "Okay, no problem. Now?"

Liu Weiming hesitated for a moment and said, "Tomorrow morning, do you think it will work?"

Zhou Shen said: "I can't do it tomorrow morning. I have to take my grandma to the county hospital for a physical examination. Why don't I pay it back tomorrow night?"

"Okay!" Liu Weiming nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What's wrong with your grandma?"

Zhou Shen said: "It's just to help her do a full physical examination, so don't worry."

Liu Weiming said: "Then how about this, you go to the Department of Endocrinology tomorrow morning to find Director Sun Huasun, and then ask him to arrange an examination for the old man, do you think it's okay?"

Zhou Shen said politely: "Thank you, Teacher Liu. Will it be too much trouble?"

Liu Weiming smiled and said: "It's not troublesome at all! Don't worry, it's just to save you from traveling, it's not a big deal."

After speaking, Liu Weiming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll go first."

"I'm going back too."

"Then together..."

……

After arriving home, Zhou Shen told his grandma to take her for a medical examination tomorrow morning.

Not surprisingly, the little old lady refused.

However, under Zhou Shen's "persuasion", the little old lady finally agreed reluctantly.

Then I went upstairs and used a USB flash drive to copy the exercise route map and notes from the computer, and plugged it into the TV.

Then I opened it and looked at the effect, and I am very satisfied.

The 14.1 inches on the laptop and the 75 inches of the TV, the effect is not at the same level, and the clarity is simply amazing!
In order to experiment, Zhou Shen closed the door and began to practice the Daoyin technique of the formula of longevity.

After concentrating and meditating, the qi flow flows slowly on the fingertips and palms.

He found that the qi flow of [Proficient level] is not only three times more than that of [Xiaocheng level], but also feels more condensed.

Of course, it is still a thousand miles away from the scene of "a great achiever's energy and blood rushing like the sea" mentioned in the inner family exercises.

Start from the main meridian [Hand Shaoyin Heart Sutra].

I don’t know if it’s because it has been reclaimed before, but today I guide the Qi flow through again, and I feel that the channel of the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin is much smoother than before.

When he couldn't remember the route, he slightly opened his eyes and looked.

In an instant, the exercise route map on the 75-inch TV came into view clearly, Zhou Shen immediately closed his eyes, and guided the Qi flow to continue moving forward in the meridians.

Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shen slowly opened his eyes.

There was a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were full of happiness.

It's really cool to change to a big TV. Before, he always had to look twice to determine the exercise route, but now he only needs to glance at it casually, and the exercise route map will be immediately reflected in his memory.

Looking at the time, it took 47 minutes.

The first time he remembered was 1 hour and 20 minutes, and the efficiency increased by nearly half.

Of course, there are reasons why you are familiar with it after practicing it once, but the contribution of the TV must not be ignored.

Then he opened the properties panel and took a look.

【Life: 1 years and 9 days】

【Physical Strength: 9.2】

【Energy: 8.1】

[Cultivation method: Baduanjin Xiaocheng (19/200) Mastery of Longevity (9/500)]

【Skill: Beginner of Xingyiquan (47/100)】

[Attribute point: 0.2]

Zhou Shen saw at a glance that his lifespan had increased by 2 days compared to the morning, and the proficiency of the Longevity Art had also increased by 1 point.

A big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Although he guessed before that the lifespan could not be increased, it was most likely related to the loose and fragile skin of the muscles and bones.

But after all, it's just a guess, not proven. What if the muscles, bones and skin are trained to be strong, but the lifespan still can't be increased?
Fortunately, the worst did not happen.

He added 0.2 attribute points to Xingyiquan, and the proficiency of Xingyiquan immediately jumped from 47/100 to 67/100.

Not surprisingly, he has a deeper understanding of Xingyiquan.

Feeling agitated, he jumped up from the bed, came to the living room, opened his posture and punched Xingyi Fist.

I hit it three times in a row, and didn't stop until I was sweating like rain!

Then shower and sleep!
