Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 38

Watching Zhou Shen's back getting further and further away, the three of Liu Yunhua finally came to their senses.

Zhang Hui said with emotion: "The things of the ancestors can be passed down for thousands of years. There is a reason. I was really short-sighted before!"

Huo Wentao also nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhang. To be honest, before today, I didn't believe in the so-called traditional martial arts or inner martial arts at all. Today I realized how much I used to sit on the sidelines."

Liu Yunhua next to him originally wanted to follow along, but when he heard Huo Wentao's words, he couldn't help saying: "In fact, many people have misunderstood traditional martial arts. The main function of traditional martial arts is to apply them on the battlefield. Martial arts have been practiced by Chinese people for thousands of years. Fighting, summarizing the excellent skills refined.

Later, it developed to its heyday, and it was divided into two schools: the traditional battle formation technique and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.

Today's traditional martial arts, strictly speaking, should be called "martial arts", in which "wu" refers to martial arts in Jianghu, that is, a technique of striking and fighting.

Like the martial arts of ancient generals, bow horse riding and shooting, eighteen kinds of weapons have to be practiced.

There is also the sage Confucius, who is also a man of outstanding martial arts. He is very skilled in the art of bowing and horses. Otherwise, would he dare to travel around the world with dozens of disciples?

Even his disciples, like Zilu, were all generals of a country later on, how could it be possible that they couldn't fight?

Since ancient times, martial arts has always been difficult to practice, and the chances for children from ordinary families to step into the threshold of martial arts are very small, because our ancestors have a saying that, poor culture and rich martial arts, martial arts practice is actually quite expensive Money……"

Speaking of this, Liu Yunhua suddenly stopped, a little disheartened and didn't want to say anything.

In fact, he has said these things countless times, and he was too lazy to talk about them a few years ago.

Not to mention the money spent on martial arts, the practice of key traditional martial arts is cruel and boring.

Now that the body is delicate and expensive, how many people can persevere?

So now martial arts has gradually become a kind of "sport". Some people even say that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, which is simply farting.

Zhang Hui understood Liu Yunhua's mood, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be depressed! Since we can meet a master of martial arts like Mr. Zhou, it doesn't mean that our Chinese martial arts have not ceased. Maybe there are more in this world. A martial artist we don't know about."

When Liu Yunhua heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "Boss Zhang is right!"

I can't help but ignite a fire in my heart!
……

On the other side, Zhou Shen ran slowly to the vegetable market.

I bought some beef and mutton, as well as high-energy ingredients such as seafood.

When I came out, I happened to see Cao Mingji Pharmacy, so I walked over.

In the small town of Linhuai, there are more than a dozen pharmacies, and the decoration styles are basically the same. The glass doors, counters, shelves, and walls are covered with various advertising signs for price reduction promotions, membership discounts, and full discounts.

But Cao Mingji Pharmacy is different. The counters and shelves in the store are still old-fashioned wooden cabinets, and various Chinese medicinal materials are written on the cabinets.

There are no messy advertisements on the door and walls, it is clean and looks very comfortable.

There was no disgusting smell of disinfectant in the air, but a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine.

In his seventies, Cao Mingji, a ruddy old pharmacy owner, was sitting behind the desk at the door, measuring the blood pressure of an old lady of the same age.

Zhou Shen just looked around in the store.

After Cao Mingji helped the old man measure his blood pressure, he asked, "Doctor Cao, do you have ginseng for sale here?"

Cao Mingji asked, "Yes, what are you using it for?"

Zhou Shen said: "Stew soup. I just don't know how it works? I read that some nutrition experts on the Internet said that the effect of ginseng is similar to that of white radish."

Cao Mingji scolded with a smile: "What kind of shit nutrition expert, don't listen to his nonsense, you will know when you buy something to eat."

Zhou Shen asked: "Then you planted it artificially, or wild?"

Cao Mingji rolled his eyes at him and said, "Wild? What are you thinking? Of course it is planted. There are more than one billion people in the country, how can there be so many wild ginseng for you to eat?"

After a pause, Cao Mingji said, "Although the effect of planted ginseng is much worse than that of wild ginseng, the lack of quality can be made up for in quantity. Wild ginseng can't be bought, even if you can buy it, you can eat it every day Can you afford it?"

Zhou Shen nodded again and again, "Yeah, you're right."

Afterwards, under Zhou Shen's inquiry, Cao Mingji gave him a brief introduction to the knowledge of ginseng.

"Currently on the market, ginseng is divided into wild ginseng, forest ginseng and garden ginseng according to the growth environment; according to the place of origin, it is divided into Ji ginseng, Korean ginseng, Changbai ginseng, Liao ginseng, etc..."

After Cao Mingji's science popularization, Zhou Shen realized that there are so many differences between ginseng.

Needless to say, wild ginseng, even if he had it, he couldn't afford it.

As for garden ginseng, although it is cheap, you can buy a lot of it for tens of dollars on a certain treasure on the Internet, but this kind of garden ginseng looks fat and is usually catalyzed by heavy fertilization and pesticide application. The effect is very poor, so it is better to buy more ingredients Make three vegetarian Yunfei soup.

So the best is of course ginseng under the forest.

Undergrowth ginseng is half artificial and half wild. The seeds are artificially scattered in the natural environment and allowed to grow freely.

The effect is not as good as real wild ginseng, but it is much better than garden ginseng. The effect of 1g is stronger than 1 catties of garden ginseng.

However, the price of this kind of undergrowth ginseng is not cheap. Due to the huge profits, there are mixed fish and dragons in the market, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. You need to have enough experience to buy a good undergrowth ginseng.

What Cao Mingji sells here is Linxia ginseng.

The price varies from several hundred to several thousand per gram depending on the product's appearance and age.

Under the guidance of Cao Mingji, Zhou Shen bought two 15-year-old forest ginseng from Changbai Mountain (pure forest ginseng, which can be eaten and sold after being unearthed for more than 15 years), 380 yuan per gram, a total of 3g.

He originally wanted to buy a few more, but was stopped by Cao Mingji.

"You go back and eat it first to see how the effect is? It won't be too late to buy if the effect is good."

Zhou Shen was right when he thought about it.

If the effect is not good, it is a waste to buy it.

He conveniently bought a box of donkey-hide gelatin, which is said to be pure handmade, which is quite expensive, a box of 250g, priced at 800 yuan.

Then he left the pharmacy with ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin.

Turning around, I went to the vegetable market again, bought an old hen, and asked them to kill it.

After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the chicken was killed, and then he went home with miscellaneous ingredients.

The vegetable market is about 1.5 kilometers away from home. I felt quite relaxed when I ran here in the morning. Now I am walking back and carrying things in my hands. I am really tired.

Halfway through the journey, he simply stopped a passing tricycle and sent him home.

When I got home, the Sansu Yunfei Soup on the stove was still bubbling and steaming.

Zhou Shen looked at the time and turned off the stove.

When the lid was opened, the heat was immediately steaming.

He pinched the edge of the hot casserole with a rag, put the casserole under the electric fan, and then turned on the electric fan to blow.

With the rapid flow of heat, the soup pot also cooled down rapidly.

Zhou Shen then opened the attribute panel and took a look. The proficiency of Xingyiquan has increased to 167/200, and the attribute point has increased to 0.5 points, which can be upgraded!
He took a deep breath, and then added 0.5 attribute points to Xingyiquan.

The proficiency of Xingyiquan immediately skyrocketed, becoming [Proficiency 17/500].

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that the proficiency has not decreased like the longevity formula, Zhou Shen is naturally slightly excited.

Although I guessed that the outer strength should not encounter bottlenecks like the inner strength, but if you are not afraid of [-], you are afraid of it.

As the level became proficient, countless information about Xingyiquan flooded into his brain immediately.

But before he could consume the information carefully, as the level of Xingyiquan changed from Cheng to Master, his stamina and energy also increased by 0.2 to 10.2/9.2.

It was as if a powerful energy had been injected into the body.

He instantly felt that all the negative emotions in his body were swept away,

High spirits and quick thinking.

And the fatigue caused by running and boxing in the morning disappeared instantly.

He feels that he can run three to five kilometers now, and there is no problem at all.

But at this moment, hunger followed.

And it was much stronger than the previous few times.

There seemed to be a huge black hole in his stomach, absorbing all the energy of the food he ate in the morning in an instant, and he was still sucking madly with his big black mouth open.

Zhou Shen immediately picked up the casserole on the ground and poured it into the large plate that had been prepared on the table.

Started to gobble it up.
