Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 6 The Secret of Longevity
Xiaozhou Village is considered a relatively large village in Linhuai Town, with more than 700 households and a total population of more than 2300.

At this time, the sun came out, the sun was shining brightly, and the spring flowers were blooming.

Someone planted gardenias, and the smell wafted over with the wind, and it was fragrant.

There are also people who plant May peaches behind their houses, which are full of fruits. The red tips of the peaches are very attractive, and they look fresh, tender and sweet.

He used to like to eat this kind of peaches, crunchy, sweet but not greasy.

Going all the way to the west, a row of bungalows appeared.

These bungalows are very similar to the small villas in the new countryside, but each one is not big, only forty to fifty square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

These houses are allocated to five-guarantee households in the village. They don’t need money to live in for free. After death, the village will take back the houses, and then continue to live in the next five-guarantee household.

Zhou Shen walked slowly along the cement road in front of the small bungalow, and soon saw many old men gathered to play chess and cards.

Because he has been studying abroad all year round, although he is from the same village, he basically doesn't know him, only one or two are familiar, but he can't name them.

When Zhou Shen got closer, he found that there was a small bamboo forest planted behind the house. Under the bamboo forest, there was an old man in a black suit, practicing health-preserving exercises.

He couldn't help but stop and watch carefully.

I used to see these old men who practiced health-preserving exercises, and it was always funny. I even took some cases of health-preserving masters who died young and lived to 99 years old because of smoking, drinking, and eating fat.

But now he finds out that the clown is actually himself.

At a young age, his physical fitness is far worse than these 70-[-]-year-old grandpas.

The old man goes to bed early and gets up early every day, eats healthy and nutritious food, keeps exercising, and always pays attention to maintenance.

Unlike them, they work overtime and stay up late every day, eat all kinds of high-tech and hard-working food, can't do 20 push-ups before they get sick, and are panting and out of breath after running 500 meters. They have already entered aging in advance.

While Zhou Shen was watching, the old man under the bamboo forest also noticed him, but he ignored him and continued to practice on his own.

Zhou Shen felt that it was impolite, so he didn't continue to watch, but turned around and went back.

……

When I got home, it was only a quarter past seven.

Zhou Shen went upstairs, took out his laptop, and looked up Wudang Baduanjin online.

It turned out that the Baduanjin he practiced was called "Wudang Hemen Baduanjin" in full, and Wudang Hemen Baduanjin was softer in practice.

There is also a "Wudang Tongarm Baduanjin".

This is a bit more intense. Stretching the limbs will pull the muscles and bones of the whole body and the internal organs. The effect should be better, but it needs to be practiced by people with a certain foundation, and his body must not be able to practice.

If the internal organs are oppressed and cause massive bleeding, it will be over.

As for the more intense "Five Animals Play", let alone, he doesn't know if it can keep in good health, and he will definitely ascend to heaven on the spot after practicing.

"Let's talk about it later when the body is better!"

Zhou Shen thought in his heart.

Then he searched again and found that there are many kinds of Ba Duan Jin, besides "Wudang Ba Duan Jin", there are also "Shaolin Ba Duan Jin", "Twelve Duan Jin", "Sixteen Duan Jin" and "Sitting Ba Duan Jin". Ba Duan Jin".

He roughly read it, and found that the standing Baduanjin was basically the same, but "Seated Baduanjin" was a bit special.

He went to search in detail again, and finally found that "Seated Baduanjin" was also adapted, and some action sentences that the editor thought were "unnecessary" were deleted.

The original version should be called "Xiantian Baduanjin", or more accurately, "The Secret of Longevity".

According to the introduction, this formula of longevity is for Qi training.

The author Li Qingyun adapted it from the "Baduanjin Daoyin Method" written by Taoist Leng Qian in the early Ming Dynasty. Both of them are legendary long-lived people. Li Qingyun is said to have lived to be 256 years old, and Leng Qian is said to have lived to be 150 years old.

He opened the book net to check, and there were no two book publications, including the old book net or even salted fish.

So I spent tens of dollars to open a library member of Qiandu.com, and downloaded the original versions of "Baduanjin Daoyinfa" and "Longevity Jue" from the website.

By the way, he bought a lot of medical books on the book website, such as [Huangdi Neijing Taisu], [Like Classics], [Golden Chamber Synopsis], [Discrimination of Warm Diseases], [Suwen], [Treatise on Febrile Diseases], [Four Sacred Heart Sources] and so on.

His cancer is about to reach the terminal stage, and modern medicine has no cure, so he wants to see if there are any good prescriptions in ancient Chinese medical books?By the way, look at the way of health.

In addition, I bought a lot of martial arts books, such as [Wu Qin Xi], [Yi Jin Jing], [Xing Sui Jing], [Xing Yi Quan], [Ba Gua Zhang], [Ba Ji Quan], [Da Cheng Quan], etc. Wait.

There are also [Tao Te Ching], [Huang Ting Jing], [Bao Pu Zi] and so on.

In total, I bought hundreds of copies in one go.

The reason why I bought so many is mainly because books on martial arts are divided into different editions. For example, Xingyiquan is divided into different masters and masters such as Wang Xiangzhai, Sun Lutang, and Liu Dianchen.

He naturally wanted to see the difference between each other?
In the future, if your physical condition allows, choose the best practice.

After all, his energy is limited, and his attribute points are also limited. It is impossible to practice everything. Naturally, he must choose the best and learn deeply.

All the books he bought were genuine and quite expensive, some costing more than 100 yuan a book.

A total of more than 5000 yuan was spent on these books.

"Who said knowledge is priceless? Isn't there a price?"

Zhou Shen grinned and didn't care too much.

Now there is no need to buy a house, so he still has a lot of money in his hands. Not counting the 5 yuan given by Zhang Zihan, he has saved more than 27 yuan.

This money may not be a big deal in big cities, but in rural areas, the cost of living is very low. If you save a little and don't waste it, you can live for a long time.

……

After closing the online shopping website, Zhou Shen simply watched the practice diagrams of "Baduanjin Daoyin Method" and "Longevity Jue".

It is found that although some adjustments have been made in the order of the practice methods of the two, there is not much difference.

He compared the texts carefully, and finally decided to practice the "Longevity Jue", because compared with the "Baduanjin Daoyin Method", some obscure places in the Longevity Jue have detailed annotations.

Then he began to recite the verses of the longevity formula silently.

"Closing eyes and sitting in meditation, grasping the mind of meditation, knocking teeth 36, holding the Kunlun with both hands..."

After silently reciting it twice, he felt that the food was almost digested, so he got up and went to the living room to practice Wudang Hemen Baduanjin.

After practicing once, I felt that my body was warm and there was no discomfort, so I practiced again slowly.

He didn't stop until a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After adjusting his breathing, he walked to the sofa and sat down, summoned the attribute panel and looked at it.

【Name: Zhou Shen】

【Life: 93 days】

【Physical Strength: 6.6】

【Energy: 5.4】

[Gongfa: Baduanjin Beginner (22/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute point: 0.1]

Zhou Shen carefully observed the attribute panel.

His lifespan did not increase, which made him slightly disappointed.

Immediately looking down, [Physical Strength] and [Energy] each increased a little.

This shows that all aspects of his physical quality are developing in a positive direction. For a terminal cancer patient, there is no better news than this.

A smile appeared on Zhou Shen's face, and he continued to look down.

He found that the experience value of [Baduanjin] had increased a little.

"It seems that I was wrong before. The increase in experience value is not directly linked to the life span. It can only show that practicing Baduanjin is good for the increase in life span. But how long you can live depends on a comprehensive look!"

"In addition, in the morning and just now, I practiced Baduanjin three times in total, but I only gained 1 experience point. It's really slow!"

Three times only gained 1 experience point. If you practice normally, then if you want to upgrade, you need to practice at least 300 times in theory.

"Fortunately, I have attribute points!"

Zhou Shen looked at the attribute points below which had increased by 0.1 points, and couldn't help showing an excited smile on his face.

He clicked [attribute point] in his mind, and Baduanjin automatically appeared, and then he added the 0.1 attribute point to Baduanjin.

The experience value immediately becomes: Beginner (32/100).

He then immediately looked at the lifespan above, and to his surprise, the lifespan also increased by 2 days, and now it became: [Life: 95 days].

Zhou Shen was so excited that he could live for a few more days.

He quickly took two deep breaths, suppressing the ecstasy welling up in his heart, and calming down his mood.

Then he thought about a question again.

Where do attribute points come from?

"Does it appear automatically, or does it need to go through some methods?"

"Would it be related to the exercises you practice, the more advanced the exercises, the higher your potential, and the more attribute points? Or is it related to food, the better you eat, the more energy you provide, and the more attribute points?"

Zhou Shen thought of many possibilities.

Unfortunately, there is no further information available at this time, so there is still no answer.

Even if some possibilities are thought of, it will take time to verify them.
