In the morning, grandma cooked red dates, longan and glutinous rice porridge, which was nutritious and delicious.

Zhou Shen chatted with his grandma while eating.

While chatting, he thought of the old man who said he was weak in energy and blood yesterday, so he asked: "Grandma, do you know who owns the field to the east of Grandma Zhang San's house?"

Grandma asked: "Which piece?"

Zhou Shen chewed the egg white slowly and said: "The second piece on the east side, the small piece next to the canal where potatoes and peanuts are planted."

Grandma said: "It seems to be Grandma Zhang San's farm over there, what's the matter?"

"Then yesterday I saw an old man gathering grass in the potato shop."

"What does it look like?"

"About sixty years old, thin, with darker skin." Zhou Shen said and then added: "By the way, I saw him practicing in the bamboo forest on the west side of the Wubao household yesterday."

When grandma heard this, she suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Oh, you are talking about him. That is grandma Zhang San's brother. I don't know his name, but he used to be a Taoist priest. He came back when you were in college. Everyone in the village

I jokingly call him Zhang Zhenren."

Zhou Shen was surprised when he heard this: "What, he is Grandma Zhang San's brother? Grandma Zhang San just turned eighty last year, so isn't Master Zhang over eighty?"

Grandma nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhou Shen said with emotion: "He doesn't look like someone in his eighties at all. He is younger than you, grandma."

Grandma smiled cheerfully and said: "Yes, Master Zhang is indeed relatively young. I heard that he can also do kung fu, but no one has seen him."

Grandma then told some anecdotes about this Mr. Zhang.

When Zhou Shen heard this, he became more and more certain that the other party was a person with real kung fu.

The bottle is full and the bottle is half full. People who are truly capable are very low-key. On the contrary, they are the kind of half-hearted people who always like to show off in front of others.

Zhou Shen wanted his grandma to beg for help and ask Master Zhang to teach him, but he swallowed his words again.

"Forget it. I have already rejected it before. If you bother me again, it will only make people unhappy. I will look for the exercises online later."

Unknowingly, Zhou Shen ate two bowls of red dates, longan and glutinous rice porridge.

However, the bowl is not big, it is a medium bowl.

After eating, Zhou Shen went out for a walk.

Unknowingly, we walked to the small bamboo forest on the west side of the Wubao household, and as expected, Master Zhang was standing in the small forest practicing round stakes.

Zhou Shen stood not far away and watched for a while.

Although he had only been practicing Baduanjin for a day, he could still see that each move of Master Zhang was completely natural and had an indescribable beauty.

Zhou Shen looked at it for two minutes and then turned and left.

"Anyway, now that I know his identity, name, and address, I will have many opportunities to ask for advice in the future."

"Maybe when I reach a certain level in my longevity skills, I won't ask for advice, but will discuss it with each other!"

Zhou Shen thought to himself.

…

After returning home, grandma was already riding a tricycle to buy and sell vegetables.

Zhou Shen came upstairs, turned on his computer and searched for "Hound Round Pile".

He discovered that there are many types of round piles, including Tai Chi round piles, basic round piles, thirteen internal round piles, Dachengquan round piles, secret round piles, etc. They were so diverse that he was dazzled by them.

Including the "Xingyiquan" books he bought yesterday, they also included "Xingyi Neijia Hunyuan Zhuang".

Of course, although the name is "inner family", it is actually the same as the [Wudang Hemen Ba Duan Jin] and [Xiantian Ba ​​Duan Jin] he is practicing now. They are just variations of health-preserving skills.

Ordinary people do not have a master to guide them, and at the same time they have extremely high talents, so it is impossible for them to develop their inner strength.

"I wonder what kind of round pile that Mr. Zhang practices? Logically speaking, he is a Taoist priest, so he probably practices Xingyi round pile."

Zhou Shen secretly guessed.

"Forget it, no matter how much it is! If you bite off more than you can chew, let's practice the Immortality Technique first, upgrade it and see the effect before making any other plans."

The food was almost digested, so he practiced the standing Baduanjin once as a warm-up.

Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, relaxed his body, breathed evenly, and began to practice the Secret of Immortality.

As proficiency increases, the transition between each move becomes more and more skillful.

once.

twice.

Three times.

After practicing three times, he felt a little tired and stopped.

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that one hour and 26 minutes had passed.

Then I opened the properties panel and took a look.

He found that his proficiency in the Secret of Immortality had increased by 2 points, which I have to say was a surprise.

You need to practice it twice before to gain 1 point of proficiency.

But now after practicing three times in a row, it suddenly increased by 2 points.

"It seems that my previous guess was correct. Continuous practice will indeed help improve proficiency."

"Unfortunately, my physical fitness cannot keep up. I am out of breath after practicing three times. If I practice again, it will probably have the opposite effect!"

He looked down and found that not only had his proficiency increased by two points, but his attribute points had also unexpectedly increased by 0.2, which made him overjoyed.

"It seems that attribute points should be obtained from food, but they need to be coordinated with the practice of health-preserving skills, and the level of health-preserving skills should also have a certain impact on the growth of attribute points. The three complement each other!"

After he considered the relationship clearly, he added the attribute points to the longevity skill without hesitation, and his proficiency increased by 20 points again.

As the proficiency level skyrocketed, physical strength and energy also increased by 0.1 points, and the life span was suddenly increased by 7 days.

[Name: Zhou Shen]

[Life: 113 days]

[Stamina: 6.9]

[Energy: 5.7]

[Kung Fu: Baduanjin for Beginners (45/100) Immortality Technique for Beginners (56/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute points: 0]

Zhou Shen looked at the attribute panel, and the pleasure of increasing his lifespan made him feel so happy that he really wanted to shout and vent.

But he knew his body wouldn't allow it.

He kept saying to himself in his heart, "Calm down and don't get excited. You are not out of danger now. You are still lingering on the edge of death. Don't be so happy that you become sad."

Taking two deep breaths, Zhou Shen suppressed his inner impulse of joy and catharsis.

Open your laptop and write down all your previous thoughts and practice experiences.

My stomach just started to growl at this time. I glanced at the time and saw that it was almost the same as yesterday, it had just reached 9:30.

So he put on his shoes and went downstairs.

The little old lady had returned from shopping for groceries and was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw him coming downstairs, she asked, "Are you hungry?"

Zhou Shen walked over and said, "Well, it's a bit."

The little old lady smiled and said, "I knew it. Grandma added some lotus seeds to the leftover red dates and longans from the morning, and cooked a lotus seed, red dates and longan soup. She was about to serve it to you when you came down."

Zhou Shen was filled with emotion. Besides grandma, who else in this world could be so kind to him without asking for anything in return?

Soon grandma brought over a bowl of lotus seed and longan soup, "It's hot. Use a spoon to stir it up yourself. Let it cool before drinking."

"Well, I understand."

Zhou Shen scooped up a spoonful of lotus seeds and seedless longan meat, put it to his mouth, blew on it, and then took a bite.

"Well, it's delicious! Thank you, grandma."

The little old lady beside her was smiling happily.

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, two old ladies came to visit.

Grandma was left to chat with others, while Zhou Shen went out for a walk.

…

Repeating everything from yesterday.

After lunch, I went out for a walk, came back for a half-hour lunch break, and got up at one o'clock to start practicing.

I go out for a walk for an hour at four o'clock in the afternoon and have dinner at half past five when I come back.

After dinner, we walked for half an hour and then came back to continue practicing.

Go to bed on time at 9 o'clock in the evening.

At 5:30 the next morning, I got up to the sound of roosters crowing.

There is no feasting and bustling traffic in big cities, only the plain simplicity and smoke from cooking in the countryside.

Most young people don't like this kind of retirement life, but for Zhou Shen, who is physically and mentally exhausted after working hard in a big city for ten years, such a slow-paced life is simply a dream.

Every time I came back during the holidays, I felt extremely peaceful inside.

Then on the day of leaving, I saw my grandma’s expression of reluctance and wanted to stay, but I had to continue on the road for the sake of the house, car, wife and future children.

Now that I have let go of everything, I suddenly feel that this is life.

In the past, that was at most called living!
