Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 74 Inner breathing 【Seeking monthly ticket for subscription】

Zhou Shen slowly squatted into the water, and the water overflowed his head.

Open your eyes and look at the luminous timer on your wrist.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds...

Time passed slowly.

1 minutes.

2 minutes.

3 minutes.

At 4 minutes, Zhou Shen began to feel a little difficult to breathe, and his chest was a little uncomfortable.

He slowly let go of his hand, letting the exhaust gas flow out of his nasal cavity, which slightly relieved the oppressive feeling in his chest cavity.

Then I continued to persist for another minute, and the time came to 1 minutes and 5 seconds.

Zhou Shen released part of the exhaust gas again, but this time he didn't feel much better. The tightness in his chest was still very strong, and he knew that he was about to reach his limit.

He endured it with all his strength, holding back, his face was deformed due to holding back.

The time beats second by second.

Finally, at 6 minutes and 01 seconds, Zhou Shen couldn't hold back anymore and stood up abruptly.

"Heh~heh~heh~~"

Zhou Shen's chest heaved violently, breathing in the cool air with big gulps.

There is a burning sensation in the chest cavity.

He looked at the time on the wristband and was not happy.

Hold your breath for 6 minutes, this data can only be said to be okay, many people with large lung capacity can hold their breath for 5-6 minutes, which is not particularly good.

After practicing martial arts for such a long time, he has developed his internal strength, even his dark strength, which can close the pores of his whole body, but he can only hold his breath for 6 minutes, which is obviously unreasonable.

Unconvinced, he took a deep breath and buried his head in the water again.

At 5 minutes and 37 seconds, Zhou Shen surfaced with a "crash".

"Shouldn't be..."

He wiped the water from his face and looked at the time on the bracelet, feeling very depressed.

Thinking quickly in my mind.

Soon he thought of [Changsheng Jue], also known as [Xiantian Baduanjin] and [Daoyin Technique].

For [Longevity Jue Daoyin Technique], the more he practiced, the more powerful he discovered it.

And after summarizing these days, he divided the guidance technique into two categories: "internal guidance" and "external guidance".

External guidance refers to the use of thoughts to move the Qi in the body, and go wherever it is needed, such as limbs, skin membranes and muscles.

The hands and feet need qi to hit people or practice kung fu, and he can rely on his thoughts to transfer the qi to his hands and feet. The tailbone needs qi to control the closure of the pores of the whole body, and he can also use his thoughts to transfer it.

The internal guidance is also very simple, which is to use the mind to transfer the qi to the Tibetan image system and run it in the five major meridians.

This qi is not carried and guided casually, otherwise it will kill people.

When he was reading and practicing miscellaneous books before, he saw that someone practiced the Daoyin technique before and carried it blindly. He carried the liquid in his body and successfully carried the yellow snot into his head, but died suddenly on the spot.

Zhou Shen calmed down, stood in the water and began to practice the formula of longevity.

Soon he became calm, without sadness or joy.

He guided the qi to the breathing and circulatory system, and then slowly sat in the water.

When the nasal cavity was completely immersed in water, for a moment, Zhou Shen felt as if he had a second respiratory system. He didn't feel stuffy like before, and he naturally started "inner breathing".

Internal respiration is the process by which tissues use oxygen to provide energy to the body.

The skin pores of the human body can actually breathe, but it is very weak. Most people cannot breathe through the pores, and there is no specific method.

And because Zhou Shen has entered the dark energy and learned to control the opening of his pores, his pores can absorb oxygen, and these weak oxygen will pass through the capillary wall during the process of internal respiration through the blood, and finally enter the tissue, thus Let oxygen be used by tissues.

During the metabolic process, the tissue will produce carbon dioxide, and then pass through the capillary blood, along with the blood flow, the carbon dioxide will reach the lungs, and the carbon dioxide will be excreted through external exhalation.

"Hahaha... I knew it!"

Zhou Shen was ecstatic in his heart.

He suppressed his excitement and continued to experiment.

Sure enough, it was different after turning on internal breathing. His nostrils did not take in air except for exhaling, but oxygen was continuously gathered from various sources in his body.

As time passed by, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, and even felt that as long as the Qi flow in his body was not exhausted, he could stay in the water forever.

He maintained the internal breathing state, then slowly stood up from the water surface and walked towards the deep water area.

This side belongs to the wetland park area, and the deepest place is about [-] meters.

Such water depth has no pressure on Zhou Shen.

It's a pity that staying here is not a very good thing, because the bottom of the wetland is muddy, and every time you take a step, there will be muddy sewage and methane below, which is dirty.

Zhou Shen didn't look back, but made a big circle in the water.

About 10 minutes later, he walked to the shallow water area, and when his head emerged from the water, his mood couldn't be described in one word!

If it weren't for the fear of scaring people at night, he would definitely laugh.

Once on the shore, he took off his wet underwear and put on his jacket and trousers.

Throw away the dirty panties as you pass the trash can and run home.

……

After arriving home, Zhou Shen took a hot shower, and black water flowed down his body.

When he got out of the shower, he saw that it was three o'clock in the morning and close to four o'clock in the morning, but he couldn't sleep at all, instead he was very energetic.

He opened the attribute panel and took a look, and the result surprised him.

As he expected, increasing the depth and breadth of the skills of the exercises will be of great help in improving proficiency.

长生诀熟练度从【精通125/500】，狂涨了30点，达到了【精通155/500】。

功法的增长同时带动了寿命以及体力和精力的增长，寿命从之前的【2年56天】，变成了【2年193天】，体力和精力也变成了14/12.9。

"No wonder I ran all the way back from Zehu, and I didn't feel tired at all for six or seven kilometers. It turns out that my physical fitness has increased!"

After being happy for a while, Zhou Shen added all the 0.3 attribute points to the iron inner shirt, and the proficiency of the iron inner shirt became 461/500.

Strike while the iron is hot, Zhou Shen decided to upgrade the iron inner shirt to the perfect level.

He went downstairs and took out the Baibugou essence soup from the refrigerator, and drank the remaining 90 milliliters. Suddenly, a hot current rose from his lower abdomen.

He came upstairs and began to perform Xingyiquan.

Afraid of waking up the grandma downstairs, he controlled the speed of his fists so as not to let his fists make empty pops.

Normally, Xingyiquan can be completed once in 10 minutes, but he fought it for more than 30 minutes.

After finishing punching, he opened the attribute panel and looked at it. He couldn't help being excited. The attribute point rose to 0.4, which was just enough to upgrade the iron inner shirt.

He immediately added 0.4 attribute points to [Iron Undershirt].

In his slightly excited mood, the proficiency of the iron inner shirt did not upgrade, but changed from [Proficiency 461/500] to [Proficiency 499/500]

"Hey, how could this be?"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shen felt as if he had been poured with cold water, his excitement calmed down in an instant, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He never expected that Tie Nei Shan would encounter a bottleneck.

"Why didn't I encounter a bottleneck when I upgraded Xingyiquan?"

Zhou Shen thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason.

Mainly this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

He thought for a while, then turned on the computer, and entered: [What should I do if I encounter a bottleneck during martial arts training? 】

In an instant, 1800 million answers came out.

He looked at it, and all kinds of questions were strange.

What [What should I do if I encounter a bottleneck in boxing and create anxiety? 】,【How to persevere when encountering a bottleneck in meditation? ], 【How to break through the bottleneck of comprehension? ],【How to break through the bottleneck of cultivating immortals?I tell you! ], 【How to break through the bottleneck of work? 】.

He looked through the first few answers from Baijiahao, only to find that they were all mysterious.

What kind of energy, what kind of dual cultivation of life and soul.

Then it came to Laozi's Tao Te Ching that Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things and so on, which made him confused.

In addition, there is another answer, saying that you have to pass five tests and kill six generals. In summary, you have to find a way to overcome the difficulties you encounter in your practice. They are all metaphysical things and do not fit the actual situation at all.

He rummaged through several pages, but there were some messy answers, or they were game advertisements.

He then took out his mobile phone and went to the post bar to search.

Inside the post bar is the real hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Although the post bar is now in decline, he knows that those great gods will go back to look at it occasionally, but most of the time they don't speak up and are just a screen-peeping monster.

Sure enough, he found some similar answers.

Among them, the first answer had the highest number of likes, so he took a closer look.

"Every kind of martial arts can't be improved just by saying what you want, but you have to practice and learn repeatedly for a certain period of time, so that you can improve step by step, and haste makes waste."

"So it's not that you have encountered a bottleneck, but that you are now in the transition to a stronger stage. The reason why you feel stagnant is precisely because of the lack of actual combat training. If you often train in actual combat..."

Zhou Shen read it carefully, and then pondered in his heart.

"Actual combat? Repeated practice and learning?"

"Compared to Xingyiquan, the time I spent on the Iron Inner Shirt is indeed a bit short. Basically, it is completely improved by attribute points. Is there really a relationship between the two?"

He continued to look down.

"Martial arts is not just about practicing, you have to think about it. Normally, you just need to find some time to calm down and think about it slowly.

Summarize what you have learned and practiced in the past, and slowly you will find that thinking is really useless, and martial arts requires more practice/funny faces. "

"Encountering a bottleneck means that you need to make up your basic skills! Practice in groups repeatedly every day, and practice strictly in accordance with the correct posture and essentials."

"The basic skills are not enough, and the basic skills need to be supplemented. If the basic skills are in place, there will be no so-called bottlenecks."

"Go out and explore..."

After reading more than a dozen comments, he found that half of them said that the basic skills were not in place.

And this point is very similar to the answer with the most likes.

"Could it be that the basic skills are not in place?"

Zhou Shen thought to himself.

He decided to wait and see what happened, and try again with attribute points later. If it didn't work, he could only wait for the platoon training experiment.

Thinking of volleyball training, he thought of martial arts cheats.

So I searched on the computer.

As a result, I found a lot of martial arts cheats, such as "Iron Arm Kung Fu", "One Finger Zen", "Plum Blossom Toon", "Golden Bell Cover", "Eagle Grasping Kung Fu", "Vajra Palm", "Hunyuan Kung Fu", " Vajra Fist, The Tendons of the Book of Changes, The Demonic Stick, The Little Grabber, Arhat Swordsmanship, etc.

All kinds of fists, palms and fingers, knives, sticks and swords, inner strength and outer strength are countless, which dazzled him.

In addition, there are various secrets of lightness kung fu, such as "Flying on Water", "Ladder Clouds", "Gecko Swimming on Walls", "Swallows Piercing Clouds", "Swallows Three Copy Water", "Dragonfly Three Points Water" and many more.

He also found a Shaolin "Great Move and Move Body Method". According to the introduction in it, if you practice to a high level, you can move back a few feet on flat ground without moving your feet and body to avoid the enemy's attack.

One foot is equal to 33.33 centimeters, counting three feet is one meter away.

Zhou Shen imagined such a scene, the enemy punched him, and he was like a peerless master in a martial arts novel, moving back one meter without moving, easily avoiding the opponent's punches and feet, that picture was indeed extremely chic.

Then he crossed the page.

You can practice, but you don't have to.

In order to be handsome, he stood there motionless and waited for someone to call him, and then performed a big teleportation technique that shocked everyone?
Brain is sick.

It is the correct way to fight hard with Xingyiquan if you can beat it well, and if you can't beat it, just rub the soles of your feet and run away.

Therefore, it is really necessary to find a reliable light-weight technique to practice.

He searched and searched, and finally found a light kung fu technique in the fishing bar, called [jumping vertical technique]

There are detailed introductions above.

[Jumping vertical technique is also known as flying skill, super-distance skill, divine movement skill, jumping method, land flying method, and traveling alone for thousands of miles.Light body kung fu, practice walking and jumping.This skill is difficult to practice, and it takes eight years for those with great perseverance to complete it. 】

[After success, it is easy to jump over the wall and cross the ditch with a light body and steady steps.Walking at night can be as fast as flying, no different from daytime, when encountering the enemy, you can be sure of victory, and your steps are as fast as the wind...]

After reading the exercise instructions, Zhou Shen couldn't help but said happily: "Well, this exercise is pretty good, and there are no special requirements for practice."

As for what it takes eight years for a person with great perseverance to cultivate, it is not a big deal for him. As long as the icon can appear in the skill bar, he is confident that he will be able to cultivate to the top in less than three months.

Of course, it is easy for him, but for ordinary people, it is indeed very difficult.

For example, when practicing jumping vertical technique, it is required to tie lead or iron sand on the body, and practice running like flying on the rugged mountain roads.

Not only that, but lead weights or iron sand are also required, ranging from light to heavy to 30kg.

Moreover, the running distance should be from the first 1 kilometer to 10 kilometers before the next step of training can be carried out.

People who have run with lead weights or iron sand on their bodies know how difficult it is, let alone running 10 kilometers on bumpy and rugged mountain roads and sloping ridges, and walking like flying.

99% of people will give up if they can't hold on for three days.

However, these requirements are not particularly difficult for him to play. He is now carrying a weight of 15 kilograms, and he can basically walk like flying, and he can also jog like a normal person with 30 kilograms.

"I don't know how is this fishing buddy, how is he doing?"

Seeing that the other party's latest answer was three days ago, not an old post, Zhou Shen left a message out of curiosity and asked: "Hi, how long have you been practicing the jumping vertical technique? What level have you reached now? I am going to practice, may I ask?" Do you have any suggestions?"

After posting the post, he decided to practice this jumping technique.

Then he recited the running practice formula in front of the jumping vertical technique.

Looking at the time, it was already past 5 o'clock, and it was already bright outside the window.

He didn't sleep anymore, and went straight downstairs and started running.

……

When Zhou Shen was running before, he ran and exercised normally every day without making any changes in breathing or rhythm, but now he needs to change because he is practicing jumping up and down.

The first is breathing. The "cis breathing method" he used normally before, that is, the lower abdomen bulges when inhaling, and the lower abdomen contracts when exhaling.

But now to practice jumping up and down, you need to change your breathing method and use the "reverse breathing method", that is, in reverse, the lower abdomen shrinks when inhaling, and the lower abdomen bulges when exhaling.

The secret book did not say why this breathing method was adopted, and he didn't care, anyway, just practice according to the requirements.

In addition, the places required to run should not be on flat ground, but on hills and slopes. There are no mountains and slopes near Xiaozhou Village, but ditches and paths can be seen everywhere.

Especially near the original site of Xiaozhou Village, there are many breeding bases formed by small wetlands, the roads are narrow, and there are also many ditches in the windbreak forest, and the ground is uneven.

The key is that the windbreak forest along Zehu Lake is very long, long enough for him to toss about.

After Zhou Shen left, he didn't take the main road, but ran on the small road.

Today the route changed from a flat continent to a rough path, so the load has changed from 30kg to 15kg.

Anyone who has ever run knows that running on flat ground is completely different from running on bumpy trails, and it consumes a lot of energy.

Because of this, even if the load changed from 30 kg to 15 kg, Zhou Shen felt very painful after running three kilometers.

Physical energy consumption is one aspect, mainly because of the need to deal with various emergencies on rough roads.

Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows that there are always gaps for water diversion every few tens or 100 meters on the side of the field.

In order to prevent water loss in the fields, some families will use snakeskin bags filled with soil to block the gaps, while others will not block them and leave the gaps open.

In addition, the road is overgrown with weeds, and the grass that some people have picked up will be piled directly on the road, making it look uneven. He needs to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times.

Every time you need to react and judge within 0.1 seconds, should you step on it or jump over it?

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you can fall into the pit and fall on your back.

In fact, he has also run on rough roads before, like the windbreak forest on the west side of the small building leading to Zehu Lake. Last time he ran, it was like walking on flat ground and walking like flying.

But now and then.

Running a 300-meter rough road is completely different from running a 3-kilometer rough road. As physical strength, endurance, and mental strength decline, the reaction force will also rapidly decrease.

He had to reduce his running speed to cope with the rough road and the potholes that appeared at any time on the road.

Sweat trickled down the back of his forehead.

Breathing with the trend, breathing against the trend, I have long forgotten it.

five kilometers.

six kilometers.

eight kilometers.

In the last 1 kilometer, he walked almost by willpower.

The 10-kilogram iron sand suit on his body is like a mountain, and the 5-kilogram leggings on his legs are like two children sitting on his instep, holding his calf with both hands. Every step he takes is as heavy as Mount Tai. .

When the digital prompt on the bracelet reached 10 kilometers, Zhou Shen was sweating profusely and collapsed directly into the grass.

Looking up at the blue sky and the white clouds, he breathed heavily.
