Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 86 Am I the head of the sect?
"My God, what's going on here?"

Seeing Zhou Shen's appearance, Ding Beibei couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear in shock, his big round eyes stared into square shapes.

Before, she thought that this Master Zhou's skin was too good, but who knew that after half an hour of not seeing him, he seemed to be a different person, and he felt completely reborn.

The skin looks like jade, crystal clear, rosy in the white, tenderer than a newborn baby, shining under the slanting sun.

A big man with such good skin made her feel ashamed when she saw her, who always claimed to have good skin.

It doesn’t matter if he changed his skin, he even changed his hairstyle, maybe it was because the original one was cut long (zhang) long (chang), some fried hair, now the whole hair is shortened by a circle, it looks obviously Much more pleasing to the eye.

But that's not important, the key is that it doesn't look like it's been trimmed at all, as if his hair was already that long, which is very strange.

Zhou Shen ignored Ding Beibei's jaw-dropping eyes, walked past her calmly, and came to the shed behind the building.

Seeing the boxing test machine on the wall, he walked over to it without accumulating much strength, and bombarded it with a punch.

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, the number on the testing machine jumped rapidly and finally stopped at 175.28kg.

Zhou Shen was secretly surprised.

Pure muscle strength has increased by nearly 156kg compared to 20kg a few days ago.

His stamina has been increasing in the past two days, and the upgrade of [Iron Inner Shirt] just now has also increased his stamina and endurance by 0.2, and now it has reached 15.7/14.6.

He then moved Qi to the palm of his hand, took a deep breath, and then punched the testing machine.

The numbers on the test machine jumped quickly, and finally stopped at 200kg, and then the numbers kept jumping and flashing.

Before Zhou Shen was puzzled, the number on the testing machine flashed twice, and then turned off.

"Hey, what's going on?"

He stepped forward to check it, but he couldn't turn it on anyway.

Finally, he saw an explanation on the back: [Reminder: The maximum test weight of this product is 200kg, if it exceeds 200kg, the sensor may be damaged. 】

Zhou Shen looked at the testing machine, dumbfounded for a while.

"400 yuan, a total of three punches, 133 yuan for a circle?"

Originally, he was going to take the test machine with him when he was going to go on a trip, but now that it's broken, what's the point?
He locked the shed, turned and said, "Let's go!"

Ding Beibei, who had been following behind and watching curiously, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know where you are going? Anyway, I'm going home."

"Ah? Then what should I do..." Ding Beibei quickly followed up and begged, "Can you please take me to the side of the road? It's dark in the woods over there, and I'm a little scared."

Zhou Shen stopped and asked, "Why weren't you scared when you came?"

"I wanted to find you when I came, so I didn't pay attention."

"Okay, let's go!"

Considering that it was really dark in the woods over there, it would be dangerous for a girl to go through, so Zhou Shen sent her there anyway.

Along the way, Ding Beibei asked questions like a curious baby.

Zhou Shen, however, remained silent like an old monk who had practiced closed meditation.

Finally, when Ding Beibei said that he would come here to look for him tomorrow, Zhou Shen finally broke the silence and said, "I won't come tomorrow."

"Why? If you think I'm annoying, then I won't come tomorrow. "

"No."

"Since it's not, then something is wrong?"

"Correct."

"Then come the day after tomorrow?"

"Not coming."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Not coming."

"Then when will you come?"

"do not know."

"Why are you going?"

"travel."

……

It was already seven o'clock when Zhou Shen returned home.

Grandma had already had dinner and went to the street to dance in the square. Zhou Shen opened the refrigerator door and drank a bowl of Baibugou essence soup.

After drinking the herbal soup, the burning feeling in my stomach finally disappeared.

Then he began to eat dinner.

When he opened the pot, he smelled a faint aroma of ginseng. After a closer look, he found that the piece of wild ginseng given by Zhang Hui two days ago was said to be 30-year-old authentic wild ginseng, which was stewed by his grandmother.

He filled the pot with all the chicken and soup, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

He didn't spit out small bits and pieces of bones like chicken heads, chicken necks, chicken wings, and chicken feet. He just chewed them and swallowed them into his stomach.

As for bones that are larger than chicken thigh bones and chicken backbone bones, he chews them as soon as he can, and spits them out when he can't chew them.

So it tastes very fast.

An old hen with a net weight of three and a half catties was eaten by him like a storm, along with half a catty of beef, two dishes of side dishes, and three bowls of white rice.

After eating, he felt just right.

After dinner, he went to Cao Mingji's and bought three medicinal materials.

Before leaving, Cao Mingji took his arm and said, "Xiao Zhou, you really can't take this medicine like this. The dose is too big. If you take it all the way out, your grandma won't spare me. This is the last time, and I won't be able to take it in the future." I'll sell it to you again."

Zhou Shen made a strong promise and said: "Don't worry, I'm in good health. Look... how muscular my arms are."

As he spoke, he lifted up his T-shirt and showed Cao Mingji his biceps and forearm muscles.

"What's the use of getting bigger muscles? The toxicity mainly erodes the internal organs. Although the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine is low, the medicine is three-point poisonous. It must not work if you eat it so frequently."

"In that case, you can bring me more ginseng, is this okay?"

"How much do you want?"

"200g."

"You want this?"

"Don't worry, you won't lose a penny. In this case, I will transfer you a deposit of 2 yuan first..."

Speaking of which, Zhou Shen transferred 2 yuan to Cao Mingji.

Other medicinal materials are easy to buy, mainly because the undergrowth ginseng market is mixed with fish and dragons, and he doesn't have the level to distinguish the real from the fake, so it's safer to buy from Cao Mingji.

After transferring the money, Zhou Shen hurried away with the medicinal materials.

Cao Mingji looked at the transfer prompt on his mobile phone and hesitated.

In just half a month, Zhou Shen bought 10,000+ medicinal materials from him, and he also earned 3 to [-] yuan from it.

At first he was quite happy, making money, who is not happy?
But gradually he felt panic. After taking such a large dose of medicinal materials, if something good or bad happens after taking such a large dose of medicinal materials, his pharmacy should not be opened.

The old lady of the Zhou family is such a precious grandson. With her personality, she probably won't make a fuss, but instead ran to his house to drink pesticides, or quietly hanged herself in front of his pharmacy in the middle of the night.

"For the last time, I will never sell it to him again!"

……

After Zhou Shen left, he went to Wei Biao's Malatang shop and borrowed a sealing machine.

He is going to travel in a few days, and he plans to bring some herbal soup.

These medicated soups are not used as "rations" on the road, but are reserved for energy supplements when breakthroughs in kung fu skills are made.

With such a crazy drinking method like now, even if a better substitute is found, it will probably not take long, and it will soon become invalid.

After returning home, decoct all five servings of herbal soup, blow it cool, put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator.

In addition to the previous one, there is a bowl of 500g.

A bag of 100g, a total of 30 bags.

"Tomorrow, when we rent a car, we will buy an incubator... no, the incubator is not warm enough and it will break easily. Let's just buy a car refrigerator. It happens that the weather is hot, and we can put some drinks in the refrigerator by then. .”

Thinking of this, he took out his phone to turn off the airplane mode, and as a result, a lot of information came out, including call reminders, text messages, and a lot of prestige news.

He took a look and found that some of the phone calls and text messages were from Tang Wanling, saying that she had already been discharged from the hospital, and that she was going to come over to thank him in person this afternoon, but the phone call didn't go through, so she asked him to see the message and call back.

Zhou Shen then looked down again. Yang Xingyu, Yang Xingyue, Feng Yang, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hui, Liu Yunhua, including Jiang Jianyuan, the coach of the Wushu team of the Provincial Sports Institute, also called and sent him messages.

He looked at it, except for Liu Yunhua, no one else had important matters, so he ignored it.

Then he called Liu Yunhua, chatted for a few words and then hung up. Then he opened Jingdong.com and searched, and spent 800 yuan to buy a 45-liter car and home dual-purpose small refrigerator.

After buying the refrigerator, he went to Zehu again.

To his disappointment, the luminous fish did not show up tonight.

However, although there were disappointments, there were also surprises. Before he was underwater at 4.5 meters, he would feel chest tightness and discomfort after staying for about ten to twenty minutes.

But tonight, he stayed for more than 40 minutes without feeling anything.

Seeing that it was getting late, he didn't continue the experiment, and went ashore and ran back home quickly.

……

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, at the gate of Huaijiang City Sports Center.

Ji Dewen and his son are looking forward to it.

I don't know how long it took, and finally, a black figure appeared on the road in the distance, running towards this side quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a black shadow appeared in the line of sight.

Ji Xiuyuan said, "Dad, he is that Teacher Zhou."

When Ji Dewen heard it, he immediately went up to meet her.

"Excuse me, are you Teacher Zhou Shenzhou?"

Zhou Shen, who was sweating profusely from running, panted and said, "I don't dare to be, you can just call me Zhou Shen. Are you the one Brother Liu said?"

"Yes, yes, my name is Ji Dewen, and this is my son Ji Xiuyuan."

"Hello……"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries between Zhou Shen and the two, he immediately asked, "Brother Liu said, are you looking for me to inherit Xinyi Liuhequan?"

To be honest, he is not really interested in boxing or anything like that. His purpose of practicing boxing is just to strengthen his muscles and bones so that his body can hold more qi, so that he can live a long life, not for practicing martial arts. practice martial arts.

What's more, he has already practiced Xingyiquan, and he has also practiced it to the perfection level, so he is not interested in Xinyi Liuhequan at all.

The reason why he came here was, on the one hand, that he had a lot of things to do in the county today.

In addition, it is also considering that the other party has come all the way to meet and chat.

"to us……"

"Let's go in and talk."

The three went to the Wushu Association together.

The guild hall has opened early, and some martial arts enthusiasts are practicing Wubuquan, Wing Chun, Tai Chi Bagua and so on under the guidance of the teacher.

They are all taught for free, and the purpose is only to pass on martial arts.

The person who taught Wing Chun is Lu Tailai's apprentice Wei Gao, the master of Lu's Wing Chun.

When Zhou Shen came to attend the founding ceremony that day, Wei Gao was also there. He was shocked to see Zhou Shen boxing. If he hadn't heard that Zhou Shen didn't accept apprentices, he would have planned to change his school to worship Zhou Shen as his teacher.

Seeing Zhou Shen approaching at this time, Wei Gao immediately put down a few apprentices, walked over and said excitedly, "Mr. Zhou, why do you have time to come?"

"Hehe, these two friends from other places have something to do with me. Is there an office, let's chat?"

"Yes, yes, Chairman Liu has prepared the office for you. Please follow me."

Wei Gao took Zhou Shen to the back of the guild hall, where there was a row of offices.

Zhou Shen didn't notice it the last time he came here.

When he came to the office, he was a little surprised. The windows in the office were bright and clean, and even the air conditioner and water dispenser were ready, but there was no water in the water dispenser. After all, he did not stay here permanently, and the symbolic significance was greater than the practical significance.

But Liu Yunhua is also very caring.

"Teacher Zhou, you can talk, just call me if you need anything, I'll be outside."

"Okay, thank you!"

"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite..."

Wei happily left, feeling both moved and emotional.

He really didn't expect that a master of martial arts at Zhou Shen's level would be so approachable.

In the office, Ji Dewen sat down and said, "I've watched Master Zhou practice Xingyi Quan, and it really amazed me. Your accomplishments in Xingyi Quan have reached the level of entering a room."

Zhou Shen said modestly: "You are too much."

But Ji Dewen shook his head and said, "No, I didn't win the award, it's a fact. So far, you are the third person I have seen who has reached such a level in Xingyiquan."

Zhou Shen asked curiously: "Oh, who are the other two?"

"One is Zhu Guofu, Master Zhu. He can be regarded as the father of boxing and fighting in Huaguo. He has defeated foreign boxing masters many times in the ring."

"In addition, he is also a master of Xingyiquan, and he has profound attainments in martial arts."

"Master Zhu practiced martial arts since he was a child. In his early years, he followed the "Iron Arhat" Zhang Changfa to practice Arhat boxing. Later, he learned skills such as kick kicking and wrestling from Wang Youheng. He joined the Boxer Regiment at the age of ten. He learned Xingyimen boxing equipment, and then practiced Baguazhang and Taijiquan from Mr. Sun Lutang."

Zhou Shen was secretly surprised when he heard the words, this Zhu Guofu's resume is really rich.

"Master Zhu's Xingyiquan has been practiced to the state of strength. I witnessed it with my own eyes when I was a child. When Master Zhu punched out, the air exploded. You must know that he was already 70 years old at that time."

After a pause, Ji Dewen smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of Mr. Zhou's jokes. Although my family can be regarded as a family of martial arts, I didn't believe in any martial arts masters before I was 10 years old, because I saw my dad and grandpa fighting with others. Fighting indiscriminately."

"I didn't believe that there are martial arts masters in this world until I watched Master Zhu's rehearsal!"

Zhou Shen said with a smile: "I used to be the same. There are some things that are beyond cognition. If you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, no matter what others say, it is hard for ordinary people to believe it."

After a pause, Zhou Shen followed, "By the way, who is the other one?"

He didn't ask where that Master Zhu is now, he had joined the Boxer Regiment, and after thinking about it, he knew that he must have passed away a long time ago.

"The other one is Daoist Zhang Shaoxian. It happened more than 20 years ago. When I passed by a Taoist temple in the south of the Yangtze River, I happened to meet Daoist Zhang. He was sweeping the floor in the backyard."

"We talked about Xingyiquan and Xinyi Liuhequan for a long time. Zhang Daochang also practiced Xingyiquan for me. Only then did I realize that his Xingyiquan has reached a very advanced level, far more powerful than Master Zhu Guofu!"

When he said this, Ji Dewen's face was also full of memories.

Zhou Shen couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Ji Dewen say "Zhang Daochang". His surname is Zhang, he is also a Taoist priest, and he also practices Xingyiquan at the same time. Isn't it such a coincidence?
"May I ask that Taoist Zhang, what is his Taoist name?"

"Dao name? I really don't know this. What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just asked."

Zhou Shen felt a little pity, and then asked the specific address of the Taoist temple, planning to visit it when he had time.

Then Ji Dewen also talked about the purpose of coming here - inheritance!
Logically speaking, the inheritance is passed down from father to son, master and apprentice. However, with the decline of traditional martial arts, there are fewer and fewer people who learn martial arts, and those who are truly talented and willing to practice hard since childhood are even rarer.

Because of this, Xinyi Liuhequan has reached Ji Xiuyuan's generation, and there is no heir to it. Ji Xiuyuan's son is not willing to practice martial arts at all, but works as a doctor in their city's traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

Seeing that Xinyi Liuhe Quan was about to be lost, Ji Dewen was also very anxious.

It just so happened that a friend saw a video of Zhou Shen competing with others on the Internet, so he decided to give up his sectarianism and come here all the way to teach him the authentic Xinyi Liuhequan.

Zhou Shen thought that he was here anyway, so let's learn it.

So he followed Ji Dewen to the martial arts field outside and began to practice, while his son Ji Xiuyuan stood next to Zhou Shen to explain.

"The main law of Xinyi Liuhequan is 'Dragon Waist, which is the essence of the general law of the whole body in this boxing."

"Dragon in Xinyi Liuhequan means 'the dragon has the method of searching for bones', because in the legend, the movement of the dragon is that the body is constantly twisting and moving forward from side to side, just like searching for bones."

"Xinyi Liuhe Quan takes the meaning of 'Dragon Waist', which is aimed at exercising the true meaning of the spleen and soil through the continuous twisting of the body from side to side, communicating the temperament of the dragon and the tiger, and uniting to form a pill."

Zhou Shen watched carefully while listening to Ji Xiuyuan's explanation.

But just after watching it for a while, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Baguazhang was born out of Xingyiquan, and Xingyiquan was derived from Xinyi Liuhequan. The three can be said to be of the same mother, and the moves are inextricably linked.

The essence of Xinyi Liuhe Quan "Dragon Waist" and the essence of Youlong Bagua Palm Body Technique "shape like a swimming dragon, look like a monkey, sit like a tiger, turn like an eagle", they cannot be said to be similar, they are exactly the same.

……

after an hour.

Under the excited, excited and disbelieving gazes of Ji Dewen and his son, Zhou Shen slowly settled down.

They originally thought that Zhou Shen would have to study for at least three to five days before he could master the essence, but they didn't expect him to learn it in less than an hour.

In the past, they didn't believe that there were any martial arts ghosts in this world, but now they firmly believe it.

Zhou Shen is the legendary martial arts genius.

Ji Dewen took out a black token from his pocket.

"Father masters, I, as the 26th generation master of Xinyi Liuhequan, appointed Zhou Shen as the 27th generation master of Xinyi Liuhequan! Witness Ji Xiuyuan."

Holding the token in his hand, Ji Dewen prayed solemnly towards the northwest.

Ji Xiuyuan clasped his fists to the northwest and said, "Ji Xiuyuan is a witness!"

"not me……"

Ji Dewen didn't wait for Zhou Shen to refuse, and handed him the sign.

"Master Zhou, let's take our leave first, we will meet later!"

"There will be a period later!"

After speaking, the father and son hurried away as if they were afraid that Zhou Shen would chase them.

Looking at the black token in his hand, Zhou Shen couldn't laugh or cry: "Am I going to be the sect master now?"

　ps: I said that I have practiced martial arts, and some book friends said that I am bragging. I will go back to my hometown in two days to look for photos of my martial arts practice. I have taken photos before, but it has been many years, and I have moved, so it may not be possible turn up.If you find it, post a picture then.
