Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 70 Diligence
Xiaozhou Village, Linhuai Town.

The night passed, and the dawn came.

Another beautiful day begins.

When Zhou Shen was running in the morning, he deliberately passed by the kennel of the neighbor's house in front of him.

Rhubarb, who was supposed to take a look at him and then continue to sleep, unexpectedly ran out of the kennel today and barked at him at the gate of the iron fence.

But its expression is not the kind of grinning bark, but a bit like "greeting" to him, asking him "have you eaten", "go for a run" and other flattering calls.

Zhou Shen was a little strange, but he ignored it and continued to run.

What he didn't see was that Rhubarb behind him kept watching his back until he disappeared at the intersection in the distance, and then went back to the kennel drooping and continued to sleep.

In Rhubarb's short memory, yesterday was probably the most glorious day in his life.

It suddenly became extremely brave yesterday, and beat all the dogs around it that bullied it before, and finally took down the goddess dog "Xiaomei", who was once loved so much and didn't even look at it.

It's a pity that all of this is too short-lived, just like a dream. Last night, it returned to the ordinary family dog ​​it used to be. Even because it offended too many dogs yesterday, it didn't even dare to go out of the courtyard today. Fear of being beaten to death.

Rhubarb has a limited brain capacity, so he can't figure out why all of this is happening?
I only know that it is related to that human being just now.

Zhou Shen has no time to care about what a dog thinks.

With a load of 30 kg, he ran a distance of 25 kilometers in 58 minutes and 5.6 seconds.

A load of 15 kg is not at the same level as a load of 30 kg.

He was dripping with sweat after the run.

After a long rest, I started strength training in shorts.

A few days ago, he did not take off the iron sand clothes and leggings for strength training, but today 30 kg was too much to bear, so he took off the iron sand clothes and leggings.

Squats, rows, deadlifts.

After the practice, he felt as if he had just stood up from 100-degree boiling water, with white steam rising from his body and sweat rolling down his body.

In his mind, he quickly guided the Qi flow from the tailbone to the cervical spine, and then the back of the head felt as if it had been blown by a cold wind, and it cooled slightly, followed by the hairs all over the body stood on end, and the pores closed.

Originally, Zhou Shen's whole body was like a steaming soup pot. With the closure of the pores, it was as if the lid of the soup pot was covered, and the steaming heat immediately diminished a lot.

But it didn't disappear completely, his body was still emitting wisps of invisible heat, and the sweat just changed from big strands to a normal sweating speed, as if the lid of the soup pot was leaking air.

Even so, Zhou Shen was very satisfied.

After all, he has just entered the dark energy stage, and it is impossible to completely close the pores of his body so quickly.

Perhaps when the inner strength is practiced to the point where the Yangtze River runs continuously, then as Yang Xingyu said, no matter how hard the force is exerted or how long it takes, it will not break a sweat.

After that, he began to carry out [iron inner shirt] external strength training.

Rubbing the body with coarse salt, but bumping and rubbing the big tree with the body.

After finishing the external strength training, I started boxing again.

During the period, the closed pores were constantly opened due to poor control, and then he had to delay for more than ten seconds to close the open pores again.

I have to say that there is a huge gap between Xingyi Quan of [Complete Level] and Xingyi Quan of [Proficient Level].

Not only has his boxing, footwork and body skills been greatly improved, but what surprised him even more is that he found that he can really exercise his muscles and bones when punching.

The slight change that he obviously felt was something he had never experienced before.

Splitting, collapsing, drilling, gunning, horizontal, turning, spinning.

Step on, flutter, wrap, bundle, stick up, open, close, shake, step.

Every move gave him a feeling of being able to send and receive freely and do whatever he wanted, as if every joint, every part, and every muscle in his body wanted to rush out to hit someone.

And with clear eyes and feet, he moves forward like a cat.

……

And so it went on for an hour.

Finally finished all morning exercises.

With his pores closed, he was still dripping with sweat.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, the closed pores were opened after the irritable qi and blood in the body gradually stabilized.

In an instant, it was as if the lid of a pressure cooker was lifted, and the pores all over his body burst out with heat.

Not only the heat, but also the sweat flowing out in large streams.

However, since the internal Qi and blood are stable, the heat and sweat are like the faucet losing the pressure of the water pump. After less than five seconds, the heat in the pores disappears and becomes invisible to the naked eye. The big strands of sweat quickly turned into fine sweat.

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Shen shook his still powerful arm and couldn't help laughing excitedly.

Sweat loses not only heat and water, but also a lot of energy in the body.

Now, by closing the pores to prevent the energy from being lost during the exercise with sweat, after the exercise, wait until the qi and blood are stable to open the pores, and lock most of the energy in the body while sweating.

He couldn't calculate the specific amount of energy locked, but he could clearly feel that after a lot of strenuous exercise today, his body was obviously not as tired and weak as yesterday, but he still felt full of energy.

……

Wearing a 30kg iron sand jacket and leggings, I ran all the way home, and my grandma had already gone to the street to sell vegetables.

After Zhou Shen had a nutritious breakfast, he opened the refrigerator door and brought out a bowl of Baibugoujing soup inside.

The total volume is less than 500ml. I drank 200ml yesterday, and now there are about three-fifths left.

He took a needle measuring cup and sucked 100 ml again, then picked up the measuring cup and poured it into his mouth.

With a warm current flowing down the throat, Zhou Shen immediately felt warm in his stomach.

After packing up the things, I opened the property panel and took a look.

【Life: 2 years and 57 days】

【Physical Strength: 13.8】

【Energy: 12.7】

[Cultivation method: Baduanjin Xiaocheng (161/200) Mastery of Longevity (125/500)]

[Skills: Xingyiquan Perfection (19/1000), Iron Undershirt Proficiency (381/500)]

[Attribute point: 0.5]

Looking at the physical strength and energy, as well as the data on the skills of the exercises, Zhou Shen couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Especially the iron inner shirt, compared to yesterday morning, his proficiency has skyrocketed.

He added all the attribute points of 0.5, and the iron inner shirt proficiency became [Mastery 431/500]

Immediately afterwards, he felt a tightness in his skin, which lasted for a few seconds before returning to normal.

Zhou Shen pressed the nails of his right hand hard on the back of his left hand and scraped his arm several times.

If it were an ordinary person, this force would be enough to scratch and tear the skin and muscle tissue, but he didn't feel any pain at all, leaving only a light white mark on it, and it returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Shen was overjoyed.

"According to this speed, we can almost upgrade again today. I don't know what effect the Iron Undershirt of the Consummation level has?"

"By the way, since I can practice even the iron inner shirt, can I also practice other martial arts? For example, Shaolin 72 stunts?"

Qinggong was the first thing Zhou Shen thought of.

He believes that most people, when they watched martial arts movies when they were young, what they most wanted to learn was lightness kung fu.

Especially Duan Yu's "Lingbo Weibu" in Tianlong Babu, which he will never forget. When he was in elementary school, he was chased by someone, and he yelled "Lingbo Weibu" while running.

It's exactly the same as playing with a stick in your hand and shouting "Look at my dog-beating stick" while playing, or shouting "Tianma Meteor Boxing" when doing Wang Baquan.

Then he locked the door and walked slowly towards the town.

Today's Children's Day is also the opening ceremony of the Zehu Summer Tourism Festival.

Originally, Zehu Lake could be reached from the west of the town, but he made a detour and came to Zhenbei Park. The brother and sister Yang Xingyu were indeed practicing boxing.

The two of them seemed to have been practicing boxing for a long time, and they were sweating profusely.

Because of Yang Xingyu's dark skin, she looks even darker after sweating, and the black is shiny.

On the other hand, Yang Xingyue's skin was pale and rosy, and her sweat-drenched hair was pasted on her forehead and face, making her look particularly playful and cute.

"Brother Shen."

"Morning, Brother Shen!"

When Yang Xingyu and Yang Xingyue saw him coming, they stopped and greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, it's getting late, it's already nine o'clock..."

After chatting for a few words, they learned that Zhou Shen was going to Zehu Lake, and the brother and sister also followed him to play.

Today is Children's Day and the opening ceremony of the Summer Tourism Festival. In addition, there will be star singing and dancing performances in the afternoon and evening, so there are many vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

Especially when approaching Zehu Lake, cars are parked on both sides of the road, and there are still posters of tourism festivals and posters of celebrities standing on the side of the road, which looks very lively.

There are also volunteers guiding vehicles to park.

Zhou Shen hadn't gone far when he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Xiao Zhou...Zhou Shen, wait a minute."

He turned his head and saw that it was actually Liu Yunhua's father, Liu Weiming, wearing a volunteer red vest and a work badge around his neck, walking towards him.
