Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 255 Reading for the Rise of China

Zhou Shen walked on the European continent.

He spent a week traveling through the northern cities of Greece and came to Albania, the country with the most bunkers per capita, also known as the "Kingdom of Bunkers".

I walked along the coastline of Albania for four or five days, then all the way east through North Macedonia, and came to Bulgaria, the hometown of "The Lich King".

After that, I went all the way to the northeast to Romania, the "hometown of vampires"...

During the period, I saw ancient small towns, endless plains, crystal clear lakes, towering peaks, steep cliffs, and large tracts of virgin jungles that no one has stepped on.

He would stop to watch the busy bees collecting honey, stand by the stream and watch the fish swimming freely at the bottom, and lie on the top of the cliff to appreciate the magnificence of the world.

I will also walk in the dense primitive jungle to see various small animals, and explore those inaccessible caves.

Of course, he also met all kinds of Europeans.

Some of these people are enthusiastic, some are cold, some are gentle and humble, and some are irritable and furious. When they meet well-meaning people who insist on giving him a ride and invite him to their home as a guest, they also meet bad people who hold knives and ask him to hand over all his belongings. With dirty words.

He saw the innocent children, and also saw the cruel and cold-blooded Hey Gang.

Of course, I also met martial artists from various countries. These people's kung fu varies from high to low. In North Macedonia, I met a "half-step Dzogchen" fighter. His fighting skills are about to break through Ming Jin.

In Sofia, a city in northern Bulgaria, I met a boxing gym that taught "European secret arts". These people soaked their bodies in a special medicinal liquid, and then combined with secret words, they could double the boxer's strength.

The boxer seems to have changed into a different person, not afraid of pain or tiredness, and his attacks are fierce and vicious, just like the ancient Chinese "God Fighting Technique".

At first, like most people, he thought that the medicinal liquid was mixed with herbs similar to pain relievers and excitants, but after the experiment, he found that this was not the case. useless.

So this is very strange, he didn't figure out what caused it all the way?

In addition, he met a Nepalese ascetic monk in Slovakia, who was able to practice fasting through meditation and practice. He observed him for three days and three nights, and he really didn't drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice.

Then he probed the opponent's body and found that this Nepalese ascetic monk actually had qi in his meridians.

Although it is very weak, it is undoubtedly Qi.

This discovery made him extremely surprised. This ascetic monk did not practice martial arts. If he had practiced martial arts, he would at least be a master at the peak of Ming Jin, and might even reach the level of Dark Jin.

Then he chatted for a long time with the Nepalese ascetic.

Two and a half months later, in the afternoon, he came to Vienna, Austria, a city that gathered the Royal Palace of Arts, riding schools, art galleries, museums and parks.

It was already mid-December at this time, and a heavy snowfall had just fallen in Vienna two days ago. The roads and houses were covered with white snow, the weather was extremely cold, and there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road.

There are many tourists in the cafe by the side of the road, some are reading books, some are whispering with friends, and some are just sitting in the cafe, revealing the floor-to-ceiling glass and looking outside, enjoying the tranquility quietly.

Zhou Shen walked slowly along the side of the road, people in cafes, hotels and shops were watching him, and he also regarded these people as the scenery along the way.

While passing a shoe and clothing store, a fat white girl chased out of the store and shouted in English: "Hi, wait a minute."

Zhou Shen stopped, and the white girl caught up with a pair of brand new sneakers and said, "Put on your shoes, it's so cold that your feet will freeze."

Zhou Shen's appearance was reflected in the window glass along the way, with messy hair, embarrassing beard, and many cuts in the black overalls, but his feet were unsurprisingly bare.

He didn't mean to be slovenly, it's just that he often walks in the wilderness and has no time to take care of his hair, and it's not easy to cut it himself, and ordinary barbershops can't cut it. He often shaves his beard with a sharp dagger.

As for the clothes, there was nothing he could do. He often went exploring in vine-covered virgin jungles, rocky mountains and caves, and his clothes wore out too quickly.

A few days ago, Bai Ying called him and said that he had sent him some clothes made of synthetic fibers, similar to Kevlar, which were light, thin and strong, impenetrable even with daggers, and could withstand conventional pistol bullets .

As for shoes, there is absolutely no need to wear them, and he is not afraid of the cold.

Zhou Shen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold! But thank you anyway."

The Caucasian girl looked at his feet, and there was indeed no frostbite on them, and when she got closer, she realized that his body was actually very clean, without too much dust, and he was not the homeless man she imagined.

"You're welcome. Are you sure you're really not cold?"

"real!"

"Okay then!" The white girl nodded and smiled, and then asked in fluent Chinese, "Are you from China?"

"Yes! How can you speak Chinese?"

"My roommate is from your country of Hua, and she wants to teach me how to write with a brush..."

While the two were chatting, a group of young people with Asian faces came out of the store next door. When they passed by Zhou Shen, they immediately showed disgusted expressions on their faces, and they all moved aside to look at Zhou Shen. Shen's eyes were like looking at a beggar.

"It's disgusting."

"It's a shame to come to Vienna dressed like that."

"At first glance, you can tell that they are poor ghosts from Huaguo who came here to work illegally. These people are of really poor quality."

"Hee hee, keep your voice down, don't be overheard by him, and be careful that he comes over and tries to kill you."

"Inferior people can only use force..."

These young Asians spoke loudly in Chinese before they went far, without any scruples that Zhou and Shen would hear them.

"I'm sorry! You also know that Huaguo is 960 million square kilometers, such a big country, there will always be some annoying garbage." Zhou Shen smiled and said to the white girl in front of him, "But you are a Good man!"

He smiled and praised the girl, then turned and walked forward, leaving shallow footprints on the icy road, which were blown away by the cold north wind in a blink of an eye.

……

For half a day in the afternoon, Zhou Shen wandered around the city of Vienna, looking at museums, galleries and churches.

In the evening, I went to the Vienna Central Cemetery again.

The Central Cemetery is a huge cemetery located in the southeast of Vienna. It is a place rarely visited by tourists, but it is very sacred to music lovers, because many music masters rest here.

Not far from the east entrance is the musicians' cemetery area, where more than 20 world-renowned musicians and composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Strauss are buried.

Zhou Shen is not a music lover, nor did he come to admire such a giant in the music industry, because music is art, and art has always had little to do with children from poor families. Many of them have never even touched a piano before they were adults.

And he only played the harmonica in elementary school, and then never touched any musical instruments.

He just came and walked around and looked around.

He walked slowly in front of the tombstones of a group of musicians, feeling the fragility of life.

"No matter how great a person is, no matter how powerful he was during his lifetime, he will eventually be unable to stand against time and turn into a handful of loess in the end! So you must work hard to cultivate, and don't have any slackness."

"You must always keep in mind that your greatest enemy is time, and only by defeating it will you be the most powerful person of all time!"

Zhou Shen kept admonishing himself in his heart.

Go through the area of ​​the musician's cemetery and keep going.

Although the cemetery is large, it is very desolate. Coupled with the gloomy weather and the biting wind, there is a feeling of sadness.

I walked around in the cemetery roughly, and then walked in the direction I came from.

When I walked halfway, I saw an old white woman holding a little boy in front of him, and was laying flowers in front of the tombstone.

This area is relatively desolate, and there are no cameras nearby.

As they got closer and closer, there was a faint sense of danger in the extrasensory perception.

"Hmph, did you come after me so quickly?"

Zhou Shen couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

During these two and a half months, he always felt that some guys followed him like tarsal maggots.

But because his speed was too fast, these guys couldn't catch up with him, and he spent most of his time in the wilderness, so these guys had no chance to attack him.

Unexpectedly, less than half a day after he arrived in Vienna, the other party tracked him down so quickly, and even arranged for a killer to be on his way.

"Just right, I'll finish you all in Vienna!"

Zhou Shen thought to himself, then walked straight towards the two of them.

Just when he passed about six or seven meters behind the old woman and the little boy, his feet moved violently, his body seemed to move instantly, and he came behind the two of them in the blink of an eye.

Then the right palm slammed on the back of the "little boy". Under the control of the [Great Zhoutian Carrying Skill], the inner energy in the cell was spewed out from the palm, divided into five forces and printed into the opponent's body.

The little boy's chest bulged suddenly, as if something was about to come out of it, it was very scary.

His internal organs were instantly smashed to pieces.

The "little boy" opened his mouth to spit out a stream of blood, and then fell to the ground without saying a word. His hand that was shrunk under the fat coat was exposed at this time, and there was a loaded assault rifle inside.

And this boy is not really a child, but a dwarf killer.

After the dwarf killer fell to the ground, the white old woman next to her froze for a moment, with a flustered and nervous look on her face.

The old woman's Adam's apple twitched, obviously wanting to say something, but Zhou Shen didn't want to know the reason, it didn't matter whether he had a difficulty or had to, he just sent her back to the west with another slap on the chest.

The old woman fell to the ground with her eyes open, revealing a cross tightly held in her palm.

Zhou Shen took a look, turned and left!

Less than 2 minutes after he left, a black car came over, and two people got off and quickly carried the dwarf killer and the old woman into the car, then wiped the blood on the ground with cleaning materials and left quickly.

In less than 3 minutes, the cemetery returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

The cold wind was fierce, and the ground was desolate.

……

Zhou Shen returned to the center of Vienna after leaving the Central Cemetery, and he stayed at the Hilton Hotel on the banks of the Danube.

After checking in he went straight to the restaurant for dinner.

It may be that there are more Chinese people here. This Hilton Hotel also has a Chinese restaurant. He ordered a 1288 yuan set meal, and then sat quietly waiting.

About 5 minutes later, a typical Eastern European and American female waiter came over with a dining car. Four or five delicious dishes were served on the table one after another. Finally, a large plate of black pepper beef rice was placed in front of him. The beautiful waiter With a sweet smile, he said: "Sir, please take it easy, and please call me any time you need."

She turned around and waited for the dining car to leave, but her wrist was entangled by Zhou Shen's little hand wrap.

Zhou Shen smiled and said in English: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry, just have a taste."

The face of the beautiful waiter with her back to Zhou Shen changed suddenly, but she suppressed the throbbing in her heart, turned around and said with a smile: "Sir, please let go, if you continue to do this, I will call someone .”

"Really? Then call me."

"What are you doing, let go quickly... ah!"

The face of the beautiful waiter finally began to change, and she kept struggling, but how could her strength be Zhou Shen's opponent?
Zhou Shen pinched the waitress' wrist and lifted it up, and the waitress immediately squatted down in pain.

Now it's time for dinner. Although there are not many customers in the Chinese restaurant, there are still a few tables of guests. In addition, there are restaurant staff not far away. Seeing the dispute here, they all looked over.

While the two were entangled, the restaurant staff quickly walked towards this side.

"stop……"

Here, while the beautiful waitress knelt down and screamed in pain, Zhou Shen grabbed a handful of hot black pepper beef tenderloin rice on the plate with his left hand, and stuffed it directly into her mouth. Before she spit it out, his thumb and Clasping her index finger up and down, she closed her mouth.

"Uuuuuuu..."

The beautiful waiter showed a terrified expression on her face, and with the other hand, she desperately tried to break Zhou Shen's fingers.

At the same time as the other waiters rushed over, Zhou Shen had already let go of the beautiful waitress, allowing her to collapse on the ground and scratch her throat desperately. He picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the oil on his hands.

And the beautiful waiter just vomited twice, then fell to the ground with a "plop" and passed out.

"what……"

The two waiters, a man and a woman who rushed over, backed away in fright when they saw this situation, and the woman screamed in fright.

And Zhou Shen continued to eat dinner slowly.

Although there is no rice, there are many dishes, which are enough for him to eat.

Moreover, he learned a kind of exercise from the Nepalese ascetic monk [Bigu Shiqi Method], and his appetite has been significantly reduced now.

Soon the restaurant manager and the person in charge of the hotel rushed over.

"Sir, you, why are you doing this?"

"Don't come to question me, I want to ask you, just after I checked into the hotel, someone came to poison me, what does that mean?"

"What are you talking about, our employees poisoned you, how is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. If you don't believe me, just take a bite of this black pepper beef tenderloin rice bowl and you will know."

"This……"

The restaurant manager and the person in charge of the hotel looked at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, so they could only call the police.

Then there is no more.

The Vienna police did not come, and no one came to trouble him again. In order to make up for the shock he received, the Hilton Hotel waived his three-day accommodation fee and gave him a platinum card to stay in the Hilton Group in the future. You can enjoy 8% discount on our hotels.

Zhou Shen did not raise any objections to this.

……

The first day was just the beginning, and in the next two days, he suffered more than a dozen waves of attacks, and the attack methods were varied.

Of course, he didn't show mercy either, and sent all the killers who came here to their death.

But he found one thing, the people who came were divided into two groups, one group wanted to catch him alive, and the other group wanted to kill him.

So the attack method is different. The former is a little milder, trying to drug him, or attack him with a stun gun or an anesthesia gun.

The latter is much more vicious, with assault rifles, sniper rifles, and even bombs. If it wasn't for his powerful sixth sense that kept him from getting hurt again and again, the result would be hard to say.

At six o'clock in the morning of the fourth day, he opened his eyes on a mountain northwest of Vienna.

Those killers came one after another, which affected his practice, so he didn't stay in a hotel for the past two nights, but ran to the mountain, and then went down the mountain during the day.

I habitually opened the property panel and took a look.

【Life: 90 years and 146 days】

【Status (Hidden)】

[Attribute point: 5.6]

Zhou Shen couldn't help smiling when he saw that his life span had increased to 42 days.

"In these two and a half months, my life span has increased by 10 years, which is something to be happy about. Unfortunately, Huang Ting Nei Jing's level has been stuck above Xiaocheng for almost a month, and I haven't been upgraded. It's a pity. "

"Fortunately, the lifespan is increasing normally every day, and the stamina and energy are also increasing with the growth of the lifespan, so there is no rush to upgrade."

Then he looked at his stamina and energy.

"These two physical fitness tables have both broken through 50 points now, and my physical fitness has now reached a very scary level."

"50 points seems to be five times the limit of normal people, but it is not calculated in this way, because after reaching the limit, even if one point is added, the physical fitness is double that of ordinary top athletes, so 5 points, according to my It is estimated that it should be equivalent to 1 times the physical fitness of ordinary humans."

"But this is normal, my skin was able to withstand the bullets of ordinary assault rifles two months ago."

"You can jump off a cliff close to 30 meters high without any buffer."

"The body can walk under the seabed at a depth of 500 meters without any protection, without worrying about the pressure crushing his internal organs."

Thinking about it, he couldn't help grinning on his face.

Then he looked at the exercises and skills below.

The bigu food qi method is still stuck at proficiency.

"According to the Nepalese ascetic monk, although bigu does not eat five grains, it does not mean that there is no way to obtain energy. Under the premise of good practice, energy can be obtained through methods such as meditating and absorbing energy."

"This is premised, and it does not mean that you have obtained enough energy. In the state of fasting, the human body needs to consume energy. The energy at the macro and micro levels can be obtained through the conversion of protein, fat, and sugar in the body. "

"The consumption of this kind of energy substance must be supplemented by substances at the level of Qi, and Qi is not a substance at the macroscopic and microscopic levels, but exists at a level that is more subtle than the microscopic, called the submicroscopic level. "

"In the state of Bigu, the human body also needs to consume the essence and energy. If it cannot be replenished in time, it will consume the essence and energy of the five internal organs to maintain the balance of energy in the human body."

Zhou Shen recalled what the ascetic monk said in his mind, "This should be the reason why the ascetic monk is so thin. The essence and qi in his internal organs are all absorbed to maintain the movement of qi in the human body. If I don’t replenish energy in time after upgrading, I’m estimated to be sucked into a skeleton.”

Then I looked down and [I Ching Tendon] has increased its proficiency by more than ten points.

He just started to learn Yijing tendons more than ten days ago. Because he was walking in an inland city in Europe, there was no sea, and he could not use the pressure of the sea to strengthen the strength of the internal organs, so he specially studied Yijing tendons.

However, the I Ching tendons he learned are different from the Yi Jing tendons circulating in the market, but the original version collected by Master Shanzheng.

After getting the attribute panel, he discovered that the martial arts cheats on the market in Huaguo have basically been modified, and very few of them are indeed for the purpose of optimization and improvement.

A small part is a weakened version deliberately released by some martial artists, which is understandable.

Just like the concept of "passing fists but not steps, passing steps to beat the master", one must keep one hand, and then it will be slowly lost in the end.

Most of them are specially modified by relevant parties, because ordinary people really can't practice many exercises indiscriminately.

And if he practices these modified exercises that have no effect, the icon will not appear on the property panel at all.

Just like Yijing Jin, he actually practiced it when he was in his hometown, but the icon has never appeared.

"The tendons of the Book of Changes are called easy bones, easy tendons, and easy marrow. It's really not bragging. I have just reached the master level. My flesh and blood membrane has obviously become stronger. I don't know what Yi Maru will look like later?"

Zhou Shen looked at the attribute panel, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Just then, the phone in the bag next to her rang.

He took out his cell phone from his bag, opened his sleeping bag and got out.

He is not afraid of the cold, heavy snow is flying, and tens of degrees below zero will not affect him in any way, but there is snow on the top of the mountain, and the ground is also wet, making it uncomfortable to sleep on, so he specially made a sleeping bag.

He just came out to practice, not to be an ascetic like the master in Nepal.

Looking at the phone, the message was sent by Bai Ying. After scanning the message at a glance, he dialed a number and went out.

The call was connected quickly, and a magnetic voice came from the other side of the phone.

"At nine o'clock in the morning, I'll wait for you at the coffee shop on the third floor of the Hilton Hotel. I won't wait when it's out of date."

After hanging up the phone, he put away the sleeping bag and stuffed it into the bag, then jumped down the mountain with the travel bag on his back.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, the coffee shop on the third floor of the Hilton Hotel on the banks of the Danube.

In Vienna, where the weather has been gloomy for the past few days, the sun came out unexpectedly today. The sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the coffee shop, casting a golden light on the marble table tops like landscape paintings.

On the seat by the window, David, the head of the Operations Division of the EU TIA, was sipping coffee. From his constant gaze, it could be seen that he was not as calm as he appeared.

At this moment, Zhou Shen walked over from the end of the coffee shop, wearing disposable hotel slippers on his feet.

Following his appearance, at least four or five people in the coffee shop looked up at him at the same time, and several of them touched the bottom of the table.

Zhou Shen didn't even look at these people, and went straight to David and sat down.

His eyes scanned his face for a moment, then he grinned and said, "You look exactly like James Bond."

"You are not the first person to say that." David also smiled gracefully, and then asked: "Mr. Zhou called me to come over, are you planning to surrender? Don't worry, we are actually There is no malicious intent, I just want Mr. Zhou to cooperate with us to do some scientific experiments."

Zhou Shen grinned and said, "Don't you feel blushed when you say these words? You killed six operatives, and you asked me to surrender?"

David smiled confidently: "The process is not important, what matters is the result! Otherwise, you wouldn't take the initiative to call me, would you?"

Zhou Shen laughed and said: "Mr. James, you are so humorous! I called you to come over, just to let you know that I am too lazy to play with you."

"Starting today, if you dare to harass me again, I will immediately run to the headquarters of the TIA and burn your headquarters down. If you don't believe me, you can try it! Anyway, I will go back to China if it's a big deal. What can you do with me?" Sample?"

David: "..."

I was playing the game of cat and mouse well, but suddenly I want to turn on the zoom, what's wrong with it?

David thought quickly in his heart, weighing the pros and cons.

As one of the heads of the European T-Intelligence Agency's Operations Division, David has much more information than the average person. He knows that the person in front of him is extremely dangerous. If he kills Funan alone, he will piss off. He is a real humanoid tyrannosaurus.

Before, he had always had a fluke mentality, thinking that as long as he didn't face up and be tough, he might have a chance to catch him.

Now it seems that what I thought was a little too naive.

This person seemed to have a very keen sense of danger, and several arrest operations they designed all failed, and five or six senior operators died instead.

Their purpose of arresting Zhou Shen was nothing more than the fact that the medical school in the bureau wanted to take some of his blood for research. They knew that he would definitely not want to, so they used force.

The other Zhou Shen had nothing worthy of their covetousness.

Now that the harm outweighs the benefit by forceful grasping, there is no need for it.

Thinking of this, David said straightforwardly: "OK, this matter is over, I assure Mr. Zhou that the TIA will not harass you again in the future, and I would like to express my sincere apologies for my previous behavior. "

……

At six o'clock in the evening, it's Limelan.

Tonight is the 70th birthday of a certain fashion godfather. Countless celebrities, gentry, dignitaries and dignitaries gathered in Limelane for an all-night carnival.

And Gardner, who is a well-known tobacco and alcohol businessman who is a friend of the fashion godfather, or who prefers to be called a "fashion dreamer", naturally cannot be absent.

However, Gardner, who is usually very high-profile, did not stay in front of the camera lens this time. Instead, he hurried across the red carpet surrounded by bodyguards. After entering the main venue to congratulate the fashion godfather, he immediately He left with his entourage.

However, as soon as Gardner got into the bulletproof car under the protection of the bodyguard, the bodyguard flew out in the next second, followed by the door being opened from the outside, and a figure sat in the cockpit, and then pointed his finger at him. on the temples.

Immediately after that, the figure disappeared.

The behind-the-scenes leader of the Byrd Group died so quietly.

The next day the media reported the news of his death, the cause of death - cerebral hemorrhage!

……

University of Amsterdam, Netherlands.

This is Han Bo's second year at the University of Amsterdam.

Han Bo is really satisfied with this university. The Netherlands ranks first, the world ranks 58, and it ranks in the top ten of all European universities. Its business program is triple-accredited by AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS. It has strong scientific research capabilities and high teaching quality. The scientific research funds are sufficient, and the annual research funds are more than 6 million euros.

In short, he is really satisfied with the school and cherishes every day of studying here.

However, he really hated some Gaohua in the school. These guys are like toads, they don't bite but they are aggressive.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, he arrived at the boxing club on time to learn boxing.

This is his biggest hobby besides studying. When he was in China, he joined the university martial arts club. After coming to the university here, there was no martial arts club in the school, so he learned boxing.

Only a good body can study and study better and serve the motherland.

I practiced in the boxing club until 7:[-], then took a shower and went to class.

As soon as I got there, I saw a few Gao Hua licking some other white students, how cheap it was.

Han Bo didn't speak, walked to the front row and sat down silently, took out his books and read silently.

When Gao Hua saw Han Bo coming, they immediately became angry.

"No matter how much you Hua people learn, you will never catch up with the West."

"Computers are so powerful, they can do hundreds of millions of calculations per second, why can't they catch up with people's intelligence? Because they have no brains and can't think."

"It's as flashy as Hua Guo's martial arts, and it's all just some donkey dung on the surface."

"A few days ago, I also saw a student on the domestic Internet. What the hell was there called? He was studying for the rise of China. I laughed so hard."

"Yes, I don't know if his parents have paid off the mortgage?"

　ps: I cut some of the plot of the Secret Service, as well as the Killer Organization. The backstage feels that everyone doesn't like to watch such plots.Some of them have been subscribed, so I still focus on cultivation and longevity as the theme, and don't mess with those messy organization characters
