Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Ding Beibei forgot that Zhou Shen said that he could help her develop qi in the future, but he never said that the qi cultivated with his hands and the qi cultivated through his own hard work and talent are the same. What is the difference between?

But if you think about it, you know that the future growth potential between the 100 points obtained by cheating and the 100 points obtained by relying on one's own ability is definitely not the same.

Of course, if you want to say that the former is smart enough to be able to cheat at a young age to get 100 points in the test, and that the future is limitless, that is also true.

But it definitely does not include martial arts training. This is a hard skill, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it.

As soon as the expert makes a move, you will know if there is any!

After eating and chatting, Zhou Shen got up first to say goodbye.

"I'm going to see grandma, eat slowly."

"Okay Xiao Zhou, then go slowly, Beibei, send Xiao Zhou off..."

Ding Penghai and Zhu Meilan kept sending Zhou Shen to the exit of the hotel.

The couple are both celebrities and business elites in Nanxu City, and they are worth billions of dollars. At least half of the guests who came today came here for the sake of the couple. When they were chatting with Zhou Shen, many of them actually kept While paying attention to this side, he was secretly looking at Zhou Shen at the same time.

But no one dared to come and disturb them, including the four guests at the same table, such as Mr. Zhang Bureau Liu and the others.

It wasn't until they got up to send Zhou Shen away that everyone followed the eyes of the couple and looked at Zhou Shen's leaving back.

It was at this time that everyone saw a very surprising thing.

The young man who had been chatting with Ding Pengfei and Zhu Meilan for a long time didn't even wear shoes on his feet, so he walked away in such a grandiose manner.

"Who is this, who doesn't wear shoes when going out?"

"This is too disrespectful. How can anyone dress up like this for a birthday banquet?"

"I heard two words, this young man seems to be a miracle doctor, and he cured Hai Hai's disease."

"No wonder! Many big hospitals can't cure all kinds of strange diseases nowadays. Like my daughter, she always has a rash on her body. It's very itchy, and the skin peels off when she scratches it. When she went to the hospital, the doctor said yes. For eczema, no matter how many medicines and ointments I took, it didn’t work.”

"Yeah, it feels like the current disease will evolve when it gets better."

The guests randomly guessed Zhou Shen's identity, but the previous guests at the same table heard something different from their chatting process. They knew that it was definitely not as simple as a doctor. Zhu Meilan's eyes were completely looking at him. The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law with great joy.

But everyone was very smart and didn't ask who Zhou Shen was?There must be a reason why Ding Penghai and Zhu Meilan did not introduce them.

The facts are as they expected.

The couple actually wanted to tell the whole world: "Olympic men's 100-meter sprint champion Zhou Shen is our daughter's good friend. The first thing he did after returning from Tokyo was to come to my house for dinner!"

In this way, both the face and the face are well earned.

Needless to say, this kind of man who earns face for the entire Asian people, who is not proud of his relatives?

Even those elementary school, junior high school, high school and even college classmates who have not been in touch for a long time are worth bragging for a lifetime: Does Zhou Shen, the men's 100-meter sprint champion in the Tokyo Olympics, know?That TM is my classmate!

Besides, Li Zi, how much benefit can it bring to his family's business with the endorsement of a sensational person like Zhou Shen?I can't even imagine it.

Unfortunately, they can't make it public.

Because my daughter said that once it is made public, there is a high probability that Zhou Shen will never come to her house again.

Therefore, the couple can only secretly rejoice in their hearts, pain and happiness.

……

Grandma Zhou Shen lives in a townhouse in a lakeside garden complex in the west of the city.

This small townhouse was rented by Ding Beibei for Zhou Shen. It costs 3000 yuan a month, and the landlord is Ding Beibei.

"This house was mortgaged to my family by the client without money. The market value is about 200 million, and the mortgage is close to 400 million. Don't pay it back, or you won't get a penny."

"Then why didn't you sell it?"

"I can't sell it! The location of this house is not good, there is no good school district, and the interior decoration is a bit outdated. The rich look down on it, and the poor can't afford it, so it has been vacant. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of price. If it is listed for 100 million yuan, there must be many people rushing to buy it.”

"Hahaha, that's right."

While the two of them were chatting, they came to the door. The little old lady was loosening the soil in the yard at the door, and she seemed to be planning to plant something here.

Fearing that the old lady would be lonely when he was away, Ding Beibei also bought two little orange cats and a little snow-white Alaskan dog to accompany her.

At this time, two little orange cats were basking in the sun at the door, and Alaska was running back and forth around the little old lady, and her snow-white hair was dyed gray.

Seeing Zhou Shen and the others coming over, he was naturally overjoyed.

The little old lady took Zhou Shen and talked for a long time. Zhou Shen came back in a hurry last time, and went to Japan in a hurry the next day.

"To be honest, grandma, are you used to living here? If not, let's go back to Linhuai Town."

"It must be a bit uncomfortable at first. After all, the language here is different from ours, but it will be fine after you get used to it. There are hospitals, supermarkets, vegetable markets, parks, and activity centers for the elderly. I like this place very much. of."

"Grandma, shall I hire a live-in nanny for you? This way, I can cook tea and rice, and take care of you. After all, Beibei has her own affairs to attend to, so it's impossible to take care of you all the time."

"I have nothing to be busy with! My only hobby is traveling, but I can take my grandma with me, and it happens that grandma likes to be lively too."

Hearing Zhou Shen's words, Ding Beibei immediately clarified.

The little old lady smiled from ear to ear, took Ding Beibei's white and tender palm and laughed: "Yesterday when your grandma came to play, when she talked about you, she kept saying that it hurts for nothing for so many years, oh, that tone is simply Like Nanxu vinegar (Zhenjiang vinegar is very famous, known as the capital of vinegar), it can be smelled two miles away.”

"Hahaha……"

In the next few days, Zhou Shen didn't go anywhere, but stayed with Nanxu's grandma.

During the period, he went to the Maoshan Scenic Area and wandered around in it, wanting to see if he could meet the Taoist priest mentioned by Ji Dewen, the 26th generation master of "Xinyi Liuhe Quanmen".

According to Ji Dewen, that Taoist priest is very skilled, and his appearance is somewhat similar to his cheap master Zhang Taoist.

He just thought, will Daoist Zhang be here?

It's a pity, let alone Daoist Zhang, I haven't even met a serious Taoist priest, so I can only leave disappointed.

On the morning of the fifth day, he bid farewell to the little old lady and Ding Beibei's family and headed north.

According to the information he found on the Internet, he came to the ancient canal in Yizheng City on the opposite side of the river in Nanxu City. After walking along the commercial pedestrian street for less than 1 kilometer, he saw a martial arts gym.

The quaint signboard reads [Cao's Bagua Boxing Gym] in black and white.

[Baguaquan] and [Baguazhang] sound similar, but in fact they are two boxing methods with completely different technical styles. Zhang, walks the Eight Diagrams, walks like a dragon, so it is also called "Youlong Bagua Palm" or "Bagua Lianhuan Palm".

But Bagua boxing is different. It is based on boxing, supplemented by footwork.

But still the same sentence, which boxing technique or palm technique is more powerful still depends on the individual.

And when he visited the local forum these two days, he learned that the owner of this Cao's Bagua Boxing Gym is said to be a very powerful old boxer, so he stopped by to pay a visit.

Affected by him, there are quite a lot of people signing up to practice martial arts, especially Neijiaquan.

It can be regarded as indirectly sparking a wave of traditional martial arts in China.

However, he found that the difficulties faced by traditional martial arts and Chinese medicine are very similar. Whether you can be optimistic about it, or whether you can practice well depends on whether you can meet a good master.

But this probability is too low. In most cases, it is just trickery, and many of them are completely misleading people.

Over time, everyone stopped believing it.

He walked into the boxing gym, and there were indeed quite a lot of people learning boxing. There were more than a dozen students practicing moves.

He stood aside and looked at it. Every move and style was flexible. From this, it can be seen that the master who taught boxing is really not fooling people, there is something.

But there are not many things, and the moves are well practiced, but there is no strength in the fists, and the punches are soft. When this kind of thing comes into Sanda and karate, people will be swept down if they kick or whip their legs.

"Hello, sir. My name is Song Qingwen. I'm the person in charge of this martial arts gym. Are you here to learn martial arts? Our Bagua boxing is an internal boxing method. It can not only defend oneself against enemies, but also prolong life after practicing for a long time. effect."

A young man in his twenties came over and introduced him with a smile.

While speaking, he still looked at his gray feet, and thought to himself: How awesome, barefoot on the road, aren't you afraid of sharp nails and stones pricking your feet?

Zhou Shen asked: "Neijia boxing, this seems to be practicing Zhuang Gong, can you show me your Zhuang Gong?"

"Huh? Oh, yes."

As soon as Song Qingwen heard Zhou Shen's words, he immediately knew that he was an expert, so he didn't talk nonsense, walked to the side and squatted down in a big stride, with both hands on his left and right knees.

"This is the ground character post of Bagua boxing. It belongs to the third level. It is also a relatively difficult post technique. When riding a horse, sit on the crotch and buttocks. Breathe naturally, focus on the dantian, and relax the whole body."

Listening to Song Qingwen's slow talk, Zhou Shen asked, "What's the effect of your natural breathing? Keep your mind on the dantian, so what if you keep it, and what if you don't? Relax your whole body, if you don't relax, can you breathe?" practice?"

"..." Song Qingwen glanced at him speechlessly, his eyes clearly said: "Are you here on purpose to find fault?"

Zhou Shen ignored Song Qingwen's eyes and said, "Practice kung fu, especially pile kung fu, you must not only know what it is, but also know why it is. Otherwise, you will only know how to practice deadly, and you will not be able to use it flexibly when it comes time to use it."

Song Qingwen was a little annoyed by Zhou Shen's old-fashioned tone, and couldn't help saying: "You seem to understand it very well! I have practiced Zhuanggong for more than 10 years, how could I not know how to use it? But you, you Zhuanggong How are you learning skills, you won't come out to give pointers to the country after learning a little bit, right?"

Zhou Shen cracked his lips and said with a smile: "I haven't practiced Zhuang Gong before."

"..."

Song Qingwen almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Fortunately, he thought the other party was some kind of master, and dared to criticize him without even practicing Zhuanggong.

He stood up straight and said, "You just said whether you want to learn or not?"

Chapter 239 Zhou Shen, the 27th generation master of Xinyi Liuhe Boxing School, please give me your advice!

Cao Kaicheng is a famous gossip boxer. He practiced martial arts at the age of 6 and began to stand at the age of 16. He is 76 years old this year.

It is precisely because of this persistence that although there has never been any marketing and publicity, it is still quite famous in the domestic traditional martial arts circle.

It's a pity that traditional martial arts are on the decline, especially after 2000, the number of people who come to sign up to learn Bagua boxing has dropped sharply. The store has also been open.

And those colleagues who opened the martial arts gym with him back then either changed their careers early, or turned the martial arts gym into a Sanda training class, a taekwondo gym, and a gym. It's a restaurant, and it's miserable to say the least.

Cao Kaicheng has already reached the age of caring for his life, and he seldom comes to the boxing gym. He is handed over to the son of an apprentice. Anyway, no one comes to learn. The boxing gym is usually used as one of the few in the city. A gathering place for some traditional martial arts enthusiasts.

But in the past few days, his heart, which had long been unable to shake a wave, began to stir again.

Because at the Tokyo Olympics, Zhou Shen, a Chinese athlete, ran 100 seconds for the 4 meters, and some martial artists recognized that the footwork he used when running was [Xingyiquan Huaicongbu] and [Baguazhang] ·Walk in the mud], this can be said to have dropped a bomb in the traditional martial arts of Huaguo.

As a compatriot of Baguaquan and Baguazhang, the footwork between the two is the same, especially the mud step, the practice method and the technique of exerting energy are exactly the same, and as a famous Baguaquan master, he has naturally been praised by many people focus on.

No, many people came to communicate and learn, and some even came to learn from teachers.

So he usually went to the park to play boxing and chess in the morning, but these days he made an exception and came to the boxing gym on the side of the pedestrian street.

As a result, as soon as he went upstairs, he heard Zhou Shen's conversation.

When I first heard what Zhou Shen said, I felt quite reasonable, but when I heard Zhou Shen say "I haven't practiced Zhuang Gong", his expression was the same as Song Qingwen's, and he almost lost his blood. Spit it out.

Seeing that Song Qingwen lost his temper, Cao Kaicheng walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaowen, did you forget what I told you?"

Young people, who practice martial arts, which one is not vigorous?It is easy to be provoked and fight violently. If you are injured, you will lose money. If the beating is serious, you will not only lose money but also go to jail, which is not worth it.

Song Qingwen was excited: "Master, he..."

"I know!" Cao Kaicheng signaled him to be calm, turned his head and cupped his fists at Zhou Shen and said, "Young man, have you ever heard a saying that practicing boxing does not practice piles, but wandering around? Martial arts practitioners must To learn moves, you need to lay down solid basic skills. If learning boxing is likened to building a skyscraper, then pile training is the foundation of the building, which is directly related to the stability of the building.”

"Whether it is the internal boxing represented by Wudang or the external boxing represented by Shaolin, both internal and external training are required when practicing, and the two are indispensable."

After a pause, Cao Kaicheng followed, "From the perspective of internal training, the adjustment of Qi and blood, the cultivation of spirit, energy and spirit, and the cultivation of mind and consciousness all have to be done through pile exercises."

"In terms of training, the strength of muscles, the bearing capacity of bones, and the anti-strike ability of internal organs, etc. also need to be completed through pile training. The horse-step pile is just an excellent one that can meet the requirements of both. pile method!"

Zhou Shen took a look at the old man with white beard and hair in front of him, and said to himself: "It seems that this is Cao Kaicheng, the master of Cao Bagua boxing! Judging by his walking steps and breathing, his level is really average. It shows strength, even a half-step Mingjin like Yoshida Koichi is far behind!"

He was slightly disappointed in his heart, but then he reacted, "Master Ming Jin can already be called a master of a generation in this modern society. How can such a master be encountered casually?"

He then smiled and said, "I don't object to this outside the practice, but I disagree with what you said about the inside of the practice. I don't think stances can regulate Qi and blood, cultivate energy and spirit, and cultivate mind awareness."

"On the contrary, I think that standing stance is not only not good for internal training, but has disadvantages. It is very simple. When a person stands stance, part of his energy must be scattered outside the body to endure pain in the skin, muscles, muscles and bones. Do you have to keep an eye out for any changes in your posture?"

"This kind of behavior is similar to one mind and two purposes. How can you achieve what you call regulating Qi and blood and cultivating essence, energy, and spirit?"

Song Qingwen was so angry that he couldn't help but said, "You disagree, who do you think you are?"

"Xiaowen!" Cao Kaicheng scolded, "The more you argue, the clearer the truth! Since people put forward different opinions, you can also express your own opinions to refute, instead of being so arrogant and unreasonable, what is this?"

"Master, he's just making trouble for no reason..."

"What is unreasonable trouble? Chinese martial arts is the experience and lessons summed up by countless ancestors in actual combat. Everyone can express their own opinions. You can't stop others from talking."

"Okay Master, I was wrong!"

Song Qingwen admitted his mistake, but it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied.

However, Cao Kaicheng didn't talk about him anymore, but turned around and said: "Young man, it's okay for you to raise doubts. You can also have your own understanding and opinions, but all of this must be based on practice."

"Practicing Zhan Zhuang can regulate Qi and blood, cultivate energy and spirit, and cultivate mind awareness. It is not what I said, but the true knowledge summed up by countless martial arts predecessors in practice. We learn and inherit on the basis of these martial artists. Naturally There are also traces.”

"And what you said, how do you prove it?"

Zhou Shen grinned and said: "Master Cao, what you said may be reasonable, but it is not rigorous enough! Have you seen Qi? Do you know what Qi is like? Do you know how Qi moves in the meridians? You say you It’s learning inheritance, do you know that sometimes the difference between one word and the other can be thousands of miles away, are you sure that what you learn and inherit must be correct?”
