Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 267

Zhou Shen was excited for a while, then glanced at the exercises and skills below.

Not to mention other exercises, [Bigu Food Qi Method] is a miraculous exercise. After getting started, you don't need to deliberately practice it. It improves proficiency by converting Qi into the energy needed by the body.

The reason why Nepalese ascetic monks need to practice hard is because the qi in his body is not enough to convert into the energy needed by the body, so he has to absorb the thin free energy between heaven and earth through practice.

Zhou Shen felt the qi in the cell. Compared with last night, the qi recovered to about 90%, an increase of [-]%.

However, he knew that the increased qi was not completely absorbed from the free energy between heaven and earth, but also included the food energy that he hadn't had time to digest and absorb after eating last night.

After getting up, I habitually go to the bathroom to clean up my personal hygiene.

In fact, his skin pores do not secrete oil, there are no dirty things in the pores, lacrimal gland impurities are not secreted in the corners of his eyes, and he does not need to clean his face at all, including his mouth. Even if he does not brush his teeth, there is no peculiar smell, and his teeth are also white and flawless, but some habits are temporary. I can't lose it halfway through.

After a brief cleaning of personal hygiene, when he came out, he showed the weighing electronic scale and stood on it.

After jumping for a while, the above number slowly fixed at 105.2kg.

"Naked weight 105kg? Let me wipe, am I so tall now?" Zhou Shen looked at the numbers on the electronic scale in disbelief, "The last time I weighed... Hey, the last time seems to be three months ago , At that time, it was about 95kg, and it increased by 10kg in three months, which is okay.”

Then he looked in the mirror again, and muttered: "The body doesn't seem to have changed from before, except for a pair of thigh muscles, which are full of infinite explosive power as always, and the outline of the upper body muscles has not become larger. Where did the meat grow? Is it bone density?"

"I've read relevant research reports before, saying that the higher the bone density, the greater the weight, but the muscles have not increased. And my current bone density is about to catch up with light steel, right? It's normal to be a little heavier."

Zhou Shen did a few bodybuilding moves in front of the mirror, then grinned and went back to the bedroom, put on the special costume of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, put on the same special backpack and went out.No panties.

Of course, no shoes.

It would be really cool if people can get rid of those tedious things in life, for example, it would be cool not to wear underwear and hang in neutral, but many people are not used to it, and lesbians always have a few days in a month that are inconvenient.

In addition, barefoot without shoes is actually very cool. It feels very comfortable to walk barefoot on the ground and be in close contact with nature, but ordinary people's feet can't stand the hard road at all, and there are often small stones and sharp objects on the road. Easily punctured.

Zhou Shen went downstairs to practice [Shuanglong Xiqiugong] in the back garden of the hotel.

At this moment, two old grandfathers who also had white beard and hair came over, and one of them was Liu Yulin.

After breakfast, Liu Yulin went downstairs for a walk with his friends, but he happened to meet Zhou Shen punching here.

The old man next to Liu Yulin had very poisonous eyes, and he recognized Zhou Shen at a glance, and said with some surprise: "He is..."

Liu Yulin immediately stretched out his hand to grab his friend, and signaled him not to speak.

After Zhou Shen finished punching, Liu Yulin and Liu Yulin stepped forward.

"Mr. Zhou, good morning!"

"Well, good morning old man!"

"Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Tang Guoxiang, a well-known master of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai. There are countless people alive."

"Hehe, Old Liu, don't put money on my face. What kind of master of Chinese medicine, you will be laughed at if you say it. You are just an old Chinese doctor with a little experience."

"Haha, Laotang is sorry..."

After some introductions and greetings, Tang Guoxiang surrounded Zhou Shen curiously and asked about "Qi".

When he touched the qi in Zhou Shen's palm with his own hands, his eyes almost popped out, as surprised as he was.

You must know that Tang Guoxiang usually treats the illnesses of great leaders. In ancient times, he was an "imperial doctor" with a very respected status, and the people he usually came into contact with were all big men, so he could make the mountain collapse without changing his face.

However, such a character is so shocked at this moment, one can imagine how unbelievable his heart is.

In the final analysis, it is too subversive.

Although Tang Guoxiang is a firm supporter of TCM theory, he also firmly believes that the Qi blood, Tibetan image system, and twelve meridians in the human body are also correct, but he never thought, nor dared to imagine, that one day he would He was able to touch Qi with his own hands.

Therefore, the excitement and excitement in my heart are not enough to describe in words.

It was said in the morning that it is possible to die in the evening, which is probably the true portrayal of Tang Guoxiang's heart at this time.

After Tang Guoxiang was excited, he couldn't help crying.

Liu Yulin quickly patted him on the back and comforted him, "Old Tang, don't get excited, don't get excited... Your body is important, so don't be overjoyed or sad."

"Hmm, I know..." Tang Guoxiang wiped away the tears on his cheeks with his hands, but the tears couldn't stop flowing. He cried and laughed and said, "I'm just... I'm so happy and sad."

Zhou Shen smiled and said: "I understand your feelings. It's like Huaguo's national art has been passed down from generation to generation. As a result, it is called dance in modern times. The dance of dance is sad and powerless, and then I see the hopeful feeling of revival of national art."

"Yes, yes, Teacher Zhou is so right..."

Then Tang Guoxiang asked a lot, until Dai Qian came down after breakfast.

Liu Yulin asked: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to go to the exchange meeting?"

Zhou Shen laughed and said, "I won't go!"

"Then where are you going next?"

"Me, I'm going to go to Kyoto to do some errands first, and then go to the northeast to see the snow and experience what it's like to beat a roe deer with a ladle and scoop fish?"

"Haha, that's fine too! By the way, Mr. Zhou, didn't you say you wanted to dispense medicine last night? It just so happens that Lao Tang's family owns a Chinese medicine store, so let him help you dispense some."

"Okay, let's go..."

The Peiyuan Pills he accompanied before were all eaten up in Europe, so he planned to make some to take with him for safety.

After all, he often runs around, and express delivery is not convenient for posting spiritual fluids. As for things like spiritual objects, they are hard to come by, and the probability of encountering them on the road of practice is relatively low.

The Huian Hall of Tang Guoxiang's family is located in an alley in the old city. The two-story storefront is not too big or small. , counters, and medicine cabinet shelves all look antique.

There is a pair of regular script couplets hanging on the left and right of the door: [I hope that people in the world will be free from illness, and I would rather put medicine on the shelf to make dust]

There are a lot of customers who come to the store to grab medicine, and they all line up in a long line, most of them are elderly people.

Seeing Tang Guoxiang approaching, some acquaintances greeted him one after another.

This is the first time Zhou Shen has seen a queue to buy medicine in a Chinese medicine store.

Liu Yulin explained to Zhou Shen in a low voice: "Don't look at the pharmacy's business is very good, but it doesn't make money. The medicines in it are basically sold at cost price, which is just enough for the doctor's salary to open the store. Some people can't afford it. For those who take medicine, Lao Tang pays for it out of his own pocket, and often cannot make ends meet. If the house is not for the ancestral home, he would not even be able to pay the rent."

Hearing Liu Yulin's words, Zhou Shen was immediately in awe.

Such an old man with superb medical skills and excellent moral character deserves his admiration.

After going upstairs to Zhou Shen's praise, Tang Guoxiang laughed and said: "Don't listen to Lao Liu's boasting, it's not that great. I have a salary myself, and the consultation fee is also very high. The miscellaneous salary of a month is added up to four weeks. Fifty thousand is not enough to spend."

Zhou Shen said with a smile: "In the future, you must learn the formula of longevity from me. People like you, Mr. Tang, should live a long life, not only for yourself, but also for the general public."

"Of course I have to learn! You can't do it unless you teach me, I'm really curious about this qi..."

After chatting for a while, someone soon brought Tang Guoxiang the medicinal materials needed for Peiyuan Pills.

Zhou Shen checked and found that the quality of these medicinal materials was very good, and the medicinal materials were very fresh, and one could tell that they had just been picked.

Zhou Shen then asked about the price, and was immediately surprised. The price was extremely low, even lower than the price of the place of origin he had learned before.

Tang Guoxiang showed a sly smile and said: "Some big medicinal materials dealers, they have to send them to big hospitals regularly, and I know the director of the Health Bureau."

Zhou Shen understood what he meant in an instant, and couldn't help laughing.

This old Tang is not only a good person, but also a good person who knows how to use the unspoken rules of society. He is not pedantic. Such a good person can benefit the people even more.

Later, Lao Tang asked people to make the medicinal materials into pills according to Zhou Shen's requirements, a total of [-] servings.

During this period, Zhou Shen, Liu Yulin and Tang Guoxiang drank tea and chatted in the teahouse next door.

The machine made the pills very quickly, and they were made and dried in less than two hours, and packed in vacuum bags.

After paying the money, Zhou Shen said with a smile: "Then thank you, Mr. Tang, I'll take a step first and come to bother you another day."

Tang Guoxiang said: "Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of something just now, you said you want top-quality medicinal materials, right? I heard that there is an auction, and some treasures of heaven and earth often appear on it."

The people Tang Guoxiang usually comes into contact with are either rich or expensive, and he can hear a lot of gossip that is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with.

And Zhou Shen just casually said it while chatting before, top-level medicinal materials do not mean they are spiritual things, but it was rare for Tang Guoxiang to say, so he asked casually: "Where is the auction?"

Tang Guoxiang said: "It is said that it is on the high seas. Do you want to go and have a look? If you want to go, I will call you to get a place. Their auction is quite mysterious, and you must introduce someone to go up."

"Okay, then I will trouble Mr. Tang."

"You're welcome..."

Tang Guoxiang made a call and got a number soon.

"Call this later, and they'll take you there."

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look now."

……

Zhou Shen originally planned to buy a plane ticket to go to Kyoto, but Tang Guoxiang's words aroused his interest again, and he wanted to see this mysterious auction.

Anyway, wherever he goes, he is just playing. Apart from practicing martial arts, he is wandering around the world.

He dialed the phone number given by Tang Guoxiang, and the connection was quickly connected there.

After checking some information, he was quickly told an address, and he was only allowed to go there alone.

"Then you should stay at the hotel." Zhou Shen said to Dai Qian.

Dai Qian nodded sensiblely and said, "Good teacher! Be careful."

Dai Qian knew that her teacher was very powerful and could beat many of them, but she had stayed in Europe for so long and knew that no matter how advanced her martial arts skills were, she was afraid of kitchen knives, and her fragile flesh and blood were nothing to worry about in front of guns.

"Well, I know! Don't worry."

Seeing the worry in Dai Qian's eyes, Zhou Shen turned and left without explaining too much.

He ran all the way to Pudong on the other side of the river, ran all the way to Century Park, waited for a while at the bus stop south of the park, and then a black Rolls-Royce Ghost stopped in front of him.

The rear door opened, and the woman sitting inside wearing a short business attire smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, please get in the car."

Zhou Shen stepped into the car one step at a time.

The woman in the car was also startled. The driver in front closed the door, and the cold wind howling on the road and the noise of pedestrians and cars were instantly shut out.

There was no sound in the car along the way, and the woman sitting next to her seemed to be just a welcome guest. Except for a word at the beginning, she didn't speak any more during the whole process.

The car came all the way to the sea, and then Zhou Shen got out of the car, changed into a speedboat and drove all the way to the open sea in the southeast.

Although there is no wind today, the weather is fine and the sun is shining, but the weather is relatively cold, minus four to five degrees, and there are no yachts or cruise ships out on the sea except for cargo ships.

The speedboat drove for about half an hour, and a large cruise ship appeared in front of the sea, mooring quietly on the sea.

At this time, the sun shone on the sea surface and the cruise ship, which looked sparkling, like the scales of sea fish.

After boarding the ship, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhou, my name is Pete. Welcome to the Xinghai cruise ship."

Zhou Shen nodded, and asked straight to the point: "When will the auction start?"

The middle-aged man named Pete said with a smile: "The auction will be at eight o'clock in the evening, and there are still 6 hours before the auction starts. You can take a rest on the ship first. There are casinos and game halls on the Xinghai cruise ship." , There are dance halls, bars, shopping malls, and saunas.”

"Okay, I see..." Zhou Shen was a little disappointed when he heard Pete's words, "It seems that this so-called auction is probably just an embellishment, and the cruise line mainly makes money from eating, drinking, and entertainment, rather than auctions. "

But when it comes, be safe.

He wandered around on the cruise ship.

With the steady growth of the remaining lifespan, coupled with the practice of kung fu to a certain level, if he wants to continue to rise now, more "enlightenment" is needed, so he is not as eager to act as he was just practicing, a bit "playing in the world" "the meaning of.

Seeing the foot spa, he went in and soaked his feet, but unfortunately the technician exhausted all his breastfeeding strength, and his big feet still didn't feel anything.

"It seems that I will never have a chance to wash my feet in the future."

Zhou Shen thought to himself, after paying the cash, he left the foot spa, turned around and went into the music bar. He went in and had a couple of drinks. He heard the singer's voice was good, so he waved the singer over and said, "Jay Chou snail, will it?"

The female singer with short ear-length hair nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhou Shen casually grabbed seven or eight red notes from the bag and gave them to her, "Here! Sing."

"Thank you!" The female singer took the money and bowed to thank her, then turned around and came to the stage, playing and singing while holding the guitar.

"Should I put down the heavy shell and find out where is the blue sky...I want to climb up step by step, waiting for the sun to look at its face quietly."

After the female singer finished performing affectionately, she looked up, and the guest who asked for the song had disappeared.

Here, Zhou Shen revisited his favorite once, but unfortunately he can no longer find the touch he once had.

But it doesn't matter, it's enough to keep those beautiful things in memory, and it's enough to make the corners of your mouth slightly curled up when you think about it occasionally.

After leaving the bar, he went to the game hall again.

What he didn't expect was that there were games such as King of Fighters, Street Fighter, and Metal Slug in it. Hearing the familiar BGM sound, the memory of death gave him a heavy blow.

He thought of going to the game hall with his classmates after school when he was in elementary school. After playing for two hours, his grandfather appeared with a stick.

There were a lot of people in the game room that day, and he was crying in embarrassment.

He played in the game room for an hour, and then came to the casino.

Humans are born with a gambling instinct in their genes. Compared with other places to play, there are many people in the casino, and it is very noisy and lively. Thousands of guests from Southeast Asia are playing in it.

Zhou Shen stood on the stairs, overlooking the magnificent casino hall, and suddenly thought of something.

"I heard from the informant in Funan that Huang Xulong has a gambling boat transformed from a second-hand luxury cruise ship, which is specially used to transport gamblers from Southeast Asia to Koh Rong Island. Huang Xulong was killed by me, and the gambling boat is unknown. Tracking, shouldn’t it be this ship?”

"It should not be such a coincidence. The ZP Group and the Black Society Group in Southeast Asia are very afraid of me. If it is their gambling boat, they will not let me board the boat when they see my name, unless they want to kill me on the boat. But none of the people I have met so far has a killing intent towards me..."

Zhou Shen was thinking about messy things in his mind, watched from a distance for a while, and then went back to the lounge to practice.

……

Time passed by, and when he heard a knock on the door, Zhou Shen opened his eyes and saw from the small window of the room that the sea outside was already pitch black.

"Mr. Zhou..."

"Well, I see, I'll come later."

Zhou Shen stretched after getting off the ground, then opened the attribute panel to take a look, practiced Huang Ting Nei Jing once, and the remaining life span was increased by more than 30 days, which is great!
He opened the room happily and walked out with his bag on his back.

Soon the person in charge, Pete, walked over quickly and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, please follow me."

Zhou Shen followed Pete all the way to the fifth floor. When passing by one of the houses, Pete stopped and said: "Mr. Zhou, because some of the items we auctioned may be controversial, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future, of course , but also to dispel the concerns of other participants, you need to wear a mask."

"Okay!"

Since it was their rule, Zhou Shen didn't say anything, and readily agreed, taking the mask that Pete handed over and putting it on.

Then follow him around on the fifth floor of the cruise ship, and soon there will be a large auction room of four to five hundred square meters.

What he didn't expect was that two to three hundred guests had already come to the auction house at this time, each of them was wearing a mask, and there were more guests coming in an endless stream from the front three or four doors. Come in.

"I thought the auction was just a gimmick. Looking at it now, it doesn't look like a gimmick."

Zhou Shen saw more and more people, and through their clothes and the faint aura exuded from their bodies, these masked people were either rich or expensive, and they had a lot of background.

He couldn't help but also became curious.

Zhou Shen sat down casually in the middle position. There is a bid button next to the position, which can adjust the quotation according to the needs. In addition, it is equipped with simultaneous interpretation earphones, and the details are very good.

The seven or eight hundred seats at the scene were quickly filled.

There are not so many procedures, and the auctioneer is also very clear that every time of the participating guests is very precious, and they dare not waste their time. After everyone arrived, a male host in his forties came out from the backstage immediately.

After speaking a few opening words in English, the host smiled and said, "Let's invite the first lot."

Soon, two beauties in bright red cheongsams came out carrying a square frame covered with red cloth, and carefully placed it on the table in front of the host.

Under the eyes of everyone, the host carefully lifted the red cloth, and inside was a bowl with sea water and dragon patterns engraved on it.

The host said excitedly: "This is a seawater dragon pattern bowl made by JDZ in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It is known that there are two in the world. One is treasured in the French National Museum of Asian Art, and the other is It's in my hand."

Then the host began to show the seawater dragon pattern bowl, and the audience below also widened their eyes in excitement.

It can be seen through the big screen that this seawater dragon pattern bowl is not big, only about 7 cm high, with exquisite seawater and dragon patterns drawn on it, and as the host turns, it can be seen that the bottom is engraved with clear Signed, written in regular script "Daming Jiajing annual system" six characters.

Then the host said: "The starting price of this seawater dragon pattern bowl is 20 U.S. dollars, and each increase should not be less than 5 U.S. dollars. The auction starts now."

"$25 million."

"$30 million."

"$40 million."

"..."

Under the stage, Zhou Shen was not at all interested in this seawater dragon pattern bowl, and even wanted to laugh, thinking to himself: "If I can live thousands of years like John Oldman in "The Man From Earth" Ten thousand years, maybe there is a chance to see my used items being auctioned as antiques someday in the future."

Thinking in a mess in his mind, he realized that the seawater dragon pattern bowl on the stage had been called for 235 million US dollars.

Zhou Shen felt that these people were rich, so he couldn't help being a little curious. He turned to ask the person next to him in English, "Aren't they afraid of buying fakes?"

The masked man next to him had a strange look in his eyes, as if he was saying: How could you ask such an ignorant question?

But facing Zhou Shen's curious eyes, the man still said: "Don't you know that this auction house has existed for many years? I have never heard of selling fakes! And you should have seen that there are so many people on this ship. Projects that make more money don’t do such stupid things.”

"Oh, that's it. I mean, it's my first time here."

"I see..."

While the two were chatting, the seawater dragon pattern bowl, a national treasure, was bought for 300 million US dollars.

Next is a bronze sculpture from the ancient Roman era. The audience is also flocking to it, and the price has soared all the way, reaching US$510 million.

Next is another pure gold Buddha statue from the Three Kingdoms...

However, most of them are antiques from Huaguo, such as bronze wares from the Warring States Period, jade wares from the Han Dynasty, porcelain wares from Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, calligraphy and paintings, miscellaneous items, etc., and all of them are national treasures without exception, attracting buyers on the spot. There were screams.

Zhou Shen was still wondering at the beginning, where did the organizer get so many antiques of Huaguo national treasure level?

But then slowly came back to God.

These antiques should have been released by those big private collectors in Europe.

According to the statistics of UNESCO, there are about 160 million pieces of cultural relics living overseas in Huaguo, most of which were forcibly plundered by powerful Western countries at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

More than 200 museums around the world have Chinese cultural relics in their collections, and there are countless private collections among the people. Japan alone looted more than 360 million cultural relics during its invasion of China.

Because the cultural relics living abroad are too scattered, it is really difficult to determine the number, but according to conservative estimates, there are at least 30 cultural relics taken from the palace by the British and French allied forces. There are a large number of silk, jade, porcelain and other works of art.

Zhou Shen thought to himself, but he was not interested in any of these, so he didn't say anything.

The auction went on for a full two hours.

Just when Zhou Shen thought the auction was coming to an end, the host announced that the first half was over, and the second half would start after a quarter-hour break, and said that there would be more good things in the second half.

Hearing the words, Zhou Shen couldn't help but secretly said: "I don't know if there will really be some kind of natural treasure?"

He went out to use the toilet, went to the drinking place to get a cup of boiling water, and poured it into his mouth with a gurgle. The old Bai Fumei with a mask and loose skin next to him was stunned and stared at Zhou Shen look from behind.

Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the auction began.

As a result, Zhou Shen was surprised by the first lot.

"Everyone, please look at the big screen." Following the host's gesture, everyone looked at the projector at the back, which was actually a map of Maoxiong Kingdom, "This is a gold mine in Amur Oblast, which produces about 500 catties of gold every year , the contract period is 20 years, and the current remaining period is 12 years. The price is 8000 million U.S. dollars. First come, first served. The auction starts now!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, someone bid.

"Congratulations to No. 171, you have become the new owner of the gold mine in the Amur region. After the auction is over, there will be someone to assist you in the transfer of property rights."

After speaking, the host started the next auction, which gave the feeling that it was not 8000 million U.S. dollars, but 8000 million Zimbabwean dollars.

Zhou Shen glanced at No. 171 who bought the gold mine. He was a tall man who left after taking pictures of the gold mine, as if he came here specially for the gold mine.

And at this moment, the two hostesses wearing bright red cheongsams appeared again, holding a square frame covered with red silk cloth in their hands.

The host lifted the lid, revealing a dusty tree root-like thing inside.

It is about [-] centimeters long, thick in the middle and thin at both ends, very similar to "gegen", but one-fifth of the front has been cut off, revealing the gray-brown interior with annual rings.

Zhou Shen, who was sitting there, stood up in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Wow, it's really a spiritual thing? And there is so much spiritual energy?"

The host reminded with a smile: "Mr. 159 please sit down."

Zhou Shen hesitated for a moment, then sat down slowly.

At this moment, the host explained: "This is a medicinal material accidentally picked up by a fisherman on the seashore in Sumatra Island. According to the identification of the drug, it belongs to a category of ginseng, but it is not ginseng, but it is older than ginseng. Herbs."

"According to the identification, the age of this medicinal material is about 600 to 650 years old."

"Of course, the time is not important. The important thing is that this is a great tonic. After drinking the sliced ​​​​medicine, the fisherman became vigorous and vigorous. At the age of 57, he can still do it four or five times a night. , and still look good the next day.”

In order to prove what he said was true, the host also released a lot of expansion packs, including the name of the fisherman and his family, which attracted many men on the scene eager to try.

It's impossible to talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If it doesn't work, it's a sign of oneself.

"Based on the amount of use, it can be used for about one year. The starting price is US$100 million, and each increase should not be less than US$10."

"No. 159, $200 million."

"No. 612, $300 million."

"No. 333, $310 million."

"No. 430, $350 million."

"No. 18, $500 million."

"No. 268, $550 million."

"$18 million on the 600th..."

Except for the first bid, Zhou Shen did not make any subsequent bids, because the price has far exceeded his budget.

But he is bound to get it, he can't let go of this kind of cultivation spirit.

　ps: I saw your message, your request to me is just not to be unfinished, eunuch, I really want to cry...
