Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 28

When Zhou Shen returned to the grove, a group of old men had just finished practicing the longevity formula.

Seeing Zhou Shen coming, he immediately gathered around and asked Zhou Shen some details.

These old men would never have imagined that in just such a short while, the young man they dragged went out and ate a big goose weighing five or six catties.

After all the old men around had dispersed, Zhou Shen specially thanked Teacher Liu Weiming.

"You're welcome, it's a trivial matter!"

Then Liu Weiming and Zhou Shen talked about his son's prestige.

"Did you delay Xiao Zhou's practice today? You practice, I'll go around the neighborhood."

After speaking, Teacher Liu Weiming left very tactfully.

Only now did Zhou Shen have time to comprehend Xingyiquan.

He walked to a clearing under the forest, put down the bag he was carrying, and began to practice slowly.

Catch, shoot, hit, press, chop.

While the hands are constantly changing, the feet are not idle.

Half step, staggered step, smooth step, stride, fast step, constantly transforming.

At the same time as the steps under his feet were changing, he suddenly understood the essence of Xingyiquan's punching.

It's not only about the movement skills of boxing, but also about the footwork.

"It's not good to hit people if you can't get enough punches!"

"Punching is as fast as stepping, hitting people is like picking grass!"

Zhou Shen thought of what Zhang Zhenren said during the rehearsal yesterday morning, and his feet flickered quickly.

And following the change in footwork, the horizontal fist in his hand was pulled out suddenly like a whip.

"puff!"

Zhou Shen's fist touched the air beside him, and there was a cracking sound.

You know, this time he didn't use his inner energy, he just used the technique of exerting energy.

It is conceivable that the pace has an influence on boxing.

Zhou Shen stopped with a smile on his face.

"Pass the boxing but not the steps, pass the steps to beat the master! That's how it is."

……

After being happy for a while, Zhou Shen looked at the time, it was only eight o'clock, it was still early!
But at this time, the square dancing and basketball players on the playground in front were all over, and the old men who were playing chess, playing cards, and singing by the small river also left one after another.

Because the lights will be turned off later.

But it didn't affect Zhou Shen, he didn't need lights, not to mention that the lights in the community building on the other side of the river could also illuminate here, so it wouldn't be pitch black.

He went to the side and took out the mobile phone in the bag, called his grandma and told her that he would go back later.

Put down the phone, take out the skipping rope from the bag, and jump up.

For half a day in the morning, every time I lifted my thigh, I felt that the muscles of the thigh and leg surface were so sore.

After half a day of adaptation in the afternoon, although the leg is still a little sore when I lift it up, it is not as strong as in the morning, but it is bearable.

And soon he was slapped in the face.

The reason why his thigh muscles didn't hurt was that he didn't ravage them specifically.

Because skipping rope not only exerts force on the toes, but also tenses the calf muscles and the front and rear muscles of the thighs, so every time you jump up with tension, you will feel particularly sore.

Zhou Shen gritted his teeth and persisted.

After 100 jumps, when I stopped, the sweat on my forehead had flowed down.

Rest for 1 minute and continue with the second set.

By the time of the second group, the body was completely heated up, and the thighs were not as sore as the first group, but they were extremely tired.

It was as if a brick was tied to the calf. Every time the calf and thigh stretched and bounced up after landing, it was a torture to the nerves.

"Why do you see other people jumping rope, it seems very easy, you can jump hundreds or thousands of times casually, but I am exhausted after dozens of jumps?"

"Besides, my physical strength is already close to reaching the 10-point standard of an 'ordinary person'. Let alone strength, agility, and speed, why is my endurance so poor? Is it true that ordinary people are only at my level?"

Zhou Shen was secretly surprised while dancing.

After the second set of jumps, the sweat on the forehead was densely packed, and the chest and back were soaked with sweat.

Rest for 1 minute, continue.

In the third or fourth group, he felt that his legs were filled with lead. When he jumped, the inside of his chest seemed to be burning, and he couldn't breathe.

And the soreness in the thighs has not completely disappeared. Every time I jump, there are still countless ox hairy needles in the muscles, which are faintly sore.

In short, it is sore, numb, tired and painful.

After finally finishing the four sets, he collapsed directly on the grass, gasping for breath.

After resting for a while, he finally regained his senses. He decided to call it a day, and comforted himself by saying, "You are a sick person, don't be too tired! Moreover, martial arts should be practiced step by step, and you can't become fat if you eat one bite at a time."

Thinking of this, Zhou Shen got up with peace of mind.

Pat off the dust on your body and cheer up your tired spirit.

Picking up the skipping rope on the ground and stuffing it into the bag, dragging the lead-filled legs, it took more than ten minutes to walk home slowly.

When I got home, grandma was deftly molting pigeons, sparrows and turtledoves.

Today is a double serving, one serving is not enough for him now.

External strong work consumes more energy than internal strong work.

When he got out of the shower, grandma was chopping pigeon meat.

"Okay, grandma, let me do it, you go to sleep."

"It's okay. You can't chop."

Grandma went back to the house after chopping the pigeon and turtledove meat.

Zhou Shen originally planned to cook it tonight, but after seeing that it was past nine o'clock, he decided to cook it tomorrow morning.

He packed all the meat in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator freezer, then went upstairs to get a bottle of active oil, and rode an electric bicycle into the street.

I came to a well-reputed blind massage shop in Zhennan, and asked the other party to massage my whole body with active oil.

He couldn't reach his back by himself, so luckily he went to the massage parlor instead.

Non-members are 80 yuan for a single session, one hour.

Members only need 50 yuan each time, but need to recharge 300 yuan.

It's a good price.

Zhou Shen directly recharged 500 yuan.

The details of the massage are not shown, in short, the technique is very professional.

After the massage, Zhou Shen felt light and comfortable all over his body.He thinks he can do 200 more.

It was almost 11 o'clock when I got home.

However, he didn't rush to sleep, but sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the channeling technique.

Yesterday it was the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin, today it is changed to the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin.

Although the internal strength cannot continue to be vigorous and diligent because of physical fitness, resulting in the inability to increase the lifespan rapidly.

But he couldn't stop practicing.

Because once it stops, it means that his lifespan will naturally decrease.

Moreover, the practice of external kung fu itself will reduce the lifespan, and the addition of the two will speed up this process.

……

At five o'clock the next morning, Zhou Shen was woken up by the biological clock.

Originally, he usually got up at 05:30, but he practiced Xingyi Quan with Zhang Zhenren these two days, so he got up half an hour earlier.

Now that Zhenren Zhang is angry with him, he will definitely not teach him the Twelve Forms of Xingyi.

But the problem is not too big. Last night before going to bed, he watched Wang Xiangzhai’s version of Xingyi Quan, which contained the twelve forms: dragon, tiger, bear, snake, tiger, monkey, horse, chicken, swallow, 鼍, Harrier, eagle.

Open the properties panel and take a look.

【Life: 1 years and 18 days】

【Physical Strength: 9.7】

【Energy: 8.8】

[Cultivation method: Baduanjin Xiaocheng (21/200) Mastery of Longevity (13/500)]

[Skill: Xiaocheng Xingyiquan (3/200)]

[Attribute point: 0.3]

Looking at the data on the attribute panel, Zhou Shen couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

Last night, he just guided his qi and blood to walk through the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin, but he did not expect that the proficiency of the Longevity Art increased by 4 points.

And the life expectancy has increased by 10 days, no, it is 11 days, one day has passed today, it should have been 1 year and 7 days.

And this is all because of the positive feedback brought about by practicing external exercises.

It also further confirmed that his previous guess was correct.

The proficiency of the longevity formula and the stop of lifespan growth are related to the poor foundation of muscles, bones and skin.

I was happy for a while, then got up, brushed my teeth and washed my face.

At this moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his legs, shoulders, and arms, which were so painful yesterday, could hardly be felt now.

"Hey, what's going on here, is it because of the massage last night? Or is it because of practicing Daoyin?"

Zhou Shen thinks it is most likely due to the Daoyin technique.

He went to the balcony to practice Wudang Hemen Baduanjin.

Followed by Xingyiquan.

There is almost no pain in my legs and arms, and I feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Just in the square inch on the balcony, Zhou Shen kept practicing the force-exerting skills of Xingyiquan.

Last night he patronized to feel the changes brought about by his footwork, and now he calmed down in the morning and found that not only his footwork, but also his further comprehension of Xingyiquan's force-exerting skills.

"puff--"

He punched the air in front of him with the poking formula in his drill fist, and there was a slight explosion in the air.

If it was bamboo in front of him, he believed that he could definitely break it with a single punch.

"Wait until you get your muscles, bones and skin strong and go try it."

After finishing one round, he slowly stopped.

Apart from joy, there is even more urgency in my heart.

His body is too fragile. When he punches out, he is always faintly worried that his flesh will be injured like he did in the car before, and even his bones and tendons will be affected, so he will hold back a little bit of energy subconsciously.

It is impossible to fully display the indomitable courage in the five techniques of Xingyiquan.

"Exercise to strengthen your body! Start today."

Zhou Shen thought secretly in his heart.

Then went downstairs to have breakfast.

　ps: There is no pretentious plot, will it be too plain?
