Chapter 6 The Secret of Immortality

Xiaozhou Village is a relatively large village in Linhuai Town, with more than 700 households and a total population of more than 2,300 people.

At this time the sun came out, the sunshine was bright, and the spring flowers were blooming.

Some people have planted gardenias, and the smell floats in the wind, fragrant.

Some people have planted May peaches behind their houses. The fruits are abundant and the red tips are very attractive. They look fresh and sweet.

He used to like eating this kind of peach, which was crunchy, sweet but not greasy.

Walking straight to the west, a row of bungalows appeared.

These bungalows are very similar in appearance to small villas in new rural areas, but each one is small, only forty or fifty square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

These houses are allocated by the village to the five-guarantee households, and they can live in them free of charge. After death, the village will take back the houses and give them to the next five-guarantee households to continue living in.

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

Because he had been studying abroad all year round, even though he was from the same village, he basically didn't recognize them. There were only one or two who looked familiar, but he couldn't pronounce their names.

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

He couldn't help but stop and watch carefully.

In the past, I always found it funny when I saw these old men practicing health-preserving skills. I even used examples of cases where health-preserving masters died young but lived to be ninety-nine by smoking, drinking, and eating fat.

But now he discovered that the clown was actually himself.

At such a young age, his physical fitness is far inferior to that of these old men in their sixties or seventies.

This old man goes to bed early and gets up early every day, eats healthy and nutritious food, exercises regularly, and always pays attention to maintenance.

Unlike them, who work overtime and stay up late every day, eat all kinds of high-tech and cruel foods, can't do 20 push-ups before they are sick, are out of breath and out of breath after running 500 meters, and have already entered early aging.

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

Zhou Shen felt it was rude, so he didn't continue reading, but turned around and went back.

…

When we 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 full name of the Ba Duan Jin he practiced was "Wudang Hemen Ba Duan Jin", and the Wudang Hemen Ba Duan Jin was relatively gentle to practice.

There is also a "Wudang Tongba Ba Duan Jin".

This is a bit more intense. When the limbs are stretched out, it will pull and pull the muscles, bones and internal organs of the whole body. The effect should be better, but it requires people with a certain foundation to practice it. His body will definitely not be able to practice it.

If it compresses the internal organs and causes massive bleeding, it will be over.

Not to mention the more intense "Five Animals", he didn't know if it would be good for health, but he would definitely be able to ascend to heaven on the spot after practicing it.

"Let's talk about it later when I feel better!"

Zhou Shen thought in his heart.

Then he searched again and found that there are many kinds of Ba Duan Brocade. In addition to "Wudang Ba Duan Brocade", there are also "Shaolin Ba Duan Brocade", "Twelve Duan Brocade", "Sixteen Duan Brocade" and "Sitting Brocade".

"Style Baduanjin".

He took a quick look at it and found that the standing Ba Duan Jin was basically the same, but the Sitting Ba Duan Jin was a bit special.

He went to search in detail again, and finally found that "Sitting Baduanjin" had also been adapted, and some action sentences that the editor considered "unnecessary" were deleted.

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

Looking at the introduction, this longevity formula is based on Qi training.

The author Li Qingyun adapted it from "Ba Duan Jin Daoying Method" written by Taoist Leng Qian in the early Ming Dynasty. Both people are legendary longevity people. Li Qingyun is said to have lived 256 years old, and Leng Qian is said to have lived 150 years old.

He checked the book website and found that there were no two books and publications, including the used book website or even Xianyu.

So I spent dozens of dollars to become a member of Qiandu.com and downloaded the original versions of "Ba Duan Jin Daoyin Method" and "Secret of Immortality" from the website.

By the way, he bought many medical books on the book network, such as [Huangdi Neijing Taisu], [Leijing], [Synopsis of the Golden Chamber], [Treatise on Febrile Diseases], [Suwen], [Treatise on Febrile Diseases],

[Source of the Four Sacred Hearts] Wait.

His cancer is almost in the terminal stage, and modern medicine has no cure, so he wants to see if there are any good remedies in ancient Chinese medical books? By the way, he wants to read about health preservation.

In addition, I bought a lot of martial arts books, such as [Wu Qin Xi], [Yi Jin Jing], [Marrow Cleansing Sutra], [Xingyi Quan], [Bagua Zhang], [Bajiquan], [Dacheng Quan], etc.

wait.

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

I bought hundreds of copies in total.

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

Naturally he wants to see the difference between them?

In the future, if your physical condition permits, practice on your own merits.

After all, his energy is limited and his attribute points are also limited. He cannot practice everything. Naturally, he has to select the best and learn more deeply.

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

These books cost more than 5,000 yuan in total.

"Who said knowledge is priceless? Doesn't it have a price?"

Zhou Shen grinned and didn't pay much attention.

Now that he doesn't need to buy a house, he still has plenty of money. Not counting the 50,000 yuan given by Zhang Zihan, he has saved more than 270,000 yuan.

This money may be nothing in big cities, but in rural areas, the cost of living is very low. If you save a little and don't spend it frivolously, you can live for a long time.

…

After closing the online shopping website, Zhou Shen briefly watched the practice method diagrams of "Ba Duan Jin Daoyin Method" and "Secret of Immortality".

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

He carefully compared the texts and finally decided to practice "The Secret of Immortality" because compared to "Ba Duan Jin Daoyin Method", some obscure places in the Secret of Immortality have detailed annotations.

Then he began to recite the Eternal Life Hymn silently.

"Sit in meditation with your eyes closed, hold your hands firmly and meditate, knock your teeth thirty-six, hold Kunlun in both hands..."

After Mo recited it twice, he felt that the food was almost digested. He got up and went to the living room to start practicing Wudang Hemen Ba Duan Jin.

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

He didn't stop until a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead.

After breathing evenly, he walked to the sofa and sat down, summoning the attribute panel and looking at it.

[Name: Zhou Shen]

【Life:93 days】

[Stamina: 6.6]

[Energy: 5.4]

[Exercise: Baduanjin Beginner (22/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute points: 0.1]

Zhou Shen carefully observed the properties panel.

His lifespan was not increased, which made him slightly disappointed.

Then I looked down and saw that [Physical Strength] and [Energy] had each increased a little.

This shows that his physical fitness in all aspects is 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 [Ba Duan Jin] increased a little.

"It seems that I thought wrong before. The increase in experience points is not directly linked to the life span. It only shows that practicing Baduanjin is beneficial to the increase in life span, but how long you can live depends on everything!"

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

Three times only increases the experience value by 1 point. If you practice normally, 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 but reveal an excited smile on his face.

He clicked [Attribute Points] in his mind, and Baduanjin automatically appeared. Then he added these 0.1 attribute points to Baduanjin.

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

He then immediately looked at the life span above. To his surprise, the life span had 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 to suppress the ecstasy that surged into his heart and make his mood calmer.

Then he thought about a question again.

Where do attribute points come from?

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

"Is it related to the exercises you practice? The more advanced the exercises, the higher your potential, and the more attribute points you have? Or maybe it's related to the food. The better you eat, the more energy it provides, and the more attribute points you have?"

Zhou Shen thought of many possibilities.

Unfortunately, there is currently no more information available, so there is still no answer.

Even if you think of some possibilities, it will take time to verify them.
