Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 4 Wudang Baduanjin

Zhou Shen walked a dozen steps forward, and found that there were three or four old men practicing Tai Chi, very serious.

Inspired by the past, he didn't dare to look at it with a prejudiced eye, but observed it seriously.

It turned out that these old men are very solid, and the connection between each move is smooth. It is obvious that they have practiced for more than a day or two.

After a few old men punched down, Zhou Shen stepped forward to ask for advice, but the old men laughed loudly.

"What we practice is not Taijiquan, but Wudang Baduanjin."

"Wudang Baduanjin?"

"That's right! My son is from the Provincial Institute of Physical Education. He came back and specially taught me to practice. It has the effects of dredging the meridians, qi and blood, regulating the functions of the viscera and strengthening the body."

"How does that work?"

"Of course the effect is very good! I have a bad cervical and lumbar spine. I have practiced for more than half a year, and now I have never had any old problems."

"Me too! My alcoholic liver transaminase is high, and taking medicine has no effect. After practicing Wudang Baduanjin for more than half a year, the transaminase has dropped."

Several old men showed up one after another to speak.

Hearing what a few old men said was so miraculous that it could even reduce transaminase, and judging from the actions they demonstrated just now, it was not violent, Zhou Shen felt an urge to learn.

"Can I learn from you?"

"Of course I can. Many of you young people are sub-healthy, and you need to exercise."

"Come on boy, I'll teach you..."

These old men seemed to be waiting for Zhou Shen to ask for advice. As soon as he spoke, he began to teach enthusiastically.

In fact, Zhou Shen just said casually, but he didn't know that these old men were so enthusiastic, but he was disrespectful, so under the guidance of several old men, he practiced Ba Duan Jin.

"The first section is called Hands-to-Heaven Adjustment of the Triple Focus. Stand naturally like me, relax your body, then naturally spread your feet shoulder-width apart, and look straight ahead..."

Zhou Shen followed the old man's instruction, and after relaxing his body, he slowly crossed his hands in a lifting position.

It may be that the action involved the liver, Zhou Shen felt a slight tingling pain, and the upper part of the right abdomen seemed to be pressed against something hard, which was a bit uncomfortable.

But when the hand fell, the slight tingling and discomfort disappeared.

He did it again the second time, this time he moved more slowly, it was just that his chest felt a little uncomfortable, but there was no tingling sensation.

I did it six times in a row, the movement was very slow, and there was no more discomfort.

"The second section is called two strokes of spreading the wings and walking! Come on, take a step with your left foot to the left side, and your body is in a squatting horse stance..."

Several old men took turns to teach, and at the same time corrected Zhou Shen's movements and postures at the same time.

Soon, a total of eight sections of "Wudang Baduanjin" were taught, and Zhou Shen was actually sweating.

"Okay, young man, it's enough to spend more than ten minutes each morning and evening to practice once, the most important thing is to persevere!"

"Well, thank you. It's too much trouble for you."

"You're welcome! You must persevere, you know?"

"Well, I see."

Several old men walked side by side towards the chess-playing crowd as if they had completed their task.

Zhou Shen turned around and walked slowly towards the square dance in the south.

Grandma was still dancing in the square, Zhou Shen went to sit down on the steps of the national flag platform diagonally opposite the basketball court and waited.

Looking at the children and adults who are sweating on the basketball court, I am extremely envious in my heart.

Only at this moment did he realize that houses, cars, careers and love are nothing in front of life.

"If God gives me another chance, I will definitely live a good life and live up to every day of my life..."

……

The square dance ended at eight o'clock, and Zhou Shen and his grandma returned home by sitting on the neighbor's old lady's old man.

After washing up, Zhou Shen chatted with grandma for a while, and then he went upstairs after watching the little old lady turn off the lights.

There were originally three rooms upstairs, but he knocked out one of the walls during the renovation and made it into a living room and a large bedroom with a bathroom.

The bedroom was kept spotless by his grandma, and when he came back on the bed in the afternoon, grandma also spread a floral mattress and quilt for him.

Zhou Shen glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was just 9 o'clock.

He didn't fall asleep until two or three o'clock in the morning last night, and he had nightmares in his dreams. After a whole day of tossing and long-distance driving, his body was actually very tired and sleepy.

However, he was still very "excited" mentally and couldn't sleep at all.

Go to the desk, pick up the pen and paper, and prepare to write the suicide note.

But as soon as I wrote the beginning, tears fell down uncontrollably, soaking the paper on the notebook.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had too many unfulfilled wishes.

He told grandma more than once that he would take her to travel around the country after earning money, and every time grandma smiled and said yes.

But the fact is, let alone taking grandma to travel across the country, he has never even taken grandma to Huaijiang City.

"Every time I say I don't have time, in fact, there is more time, May [-]st, National Day, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, so much time, why would I rather lie in bed and play with my phone and watch videos instead of taking my grandma out for a walk..."

In the end, he still put down the paper and pen, and like an old man, he slowly got up, walked slowly to the bed, slowly took off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

Staring at the snow-white ceiling in a daze.

Thinking in his mind, who will take care of grandma's daily life after he leaves?

Thinking about it, he fell asleep.

In the dream, he found himself flying like a butterfly.

……

When I closed my eyes, it was already bright outside.

I still didn't sleep well that night, and I always had nightmares.

Zhou Shen got up and went to the balcony to overlook. Grandma was feeding the chickens in the yard, sparrows were playing on the rows of landscape trees in front of the house, and chirping birdsong came in through the gaps in the open windows.

A new day is full of life and vitality.

But for him, a new day represented one step closer to death.

Thinking of this, my mood instantly became dark.

Subconsciously, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the red number representing the remaining lifespan appeared in front of his eyes, 87.

He let the red numbers disappear from his pupils in frustration.

But in the next second, he suddenly came back to his senses.

"Hey, no, how could it be 87? I remember that it was 87 yesterday, and the remaining life span should be 86 today!"

He quickly narrowed his eyes again, and the red number appeared in front of his eyes.

"Hey, it's really 87!"

After Zhou Shen saw it clearly, he was surprised and overjoyed.

Ants are greedy for life, let alone a living person?

For a dying person, even if his lifespan is only increased by one day, it is something worthy of joy and celebration.

"Why is lifespan not reduced today? Or, lifespan increased by one day?"

After being excited, Zhou Shen eagerly wanted to know, what caused his life span to increase?
"By the way, isn't there an attribute panel, call it out and have a look."

What happened in the past two days caused his nerves to weaken, his brain was in a daze, and he almost forgot about the panel.

After leaving the hotel yesterday morning, he didn't even think about the properties panel.

"How did you summon it?"

Zhou Shen experimented for a while, and finally found that it is useless to just stare with the eyes like summoning numbers, but needs to be imagined in the mind.

"No wonder it couldn't be summoned before!"

Zhou Shen was stunned, and immediately looked at the property panel.

【Name: Zhou Shen】

【Life: 87 days】

【Physical Strength: 6.5】

【Energy: 5.3】

[Gongfa: Baduanjin Beginner (1/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute point: 0.2]

Zhou Shen immediately looked at the lifespan of the first row, and it did become 87 days.

He couldn't help being surprised and delighted. It seemed that there was indeed some reason for his increased life span.
