Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Zhou Shen got up and went to the balcony to overlook. Grandma was feeding the chickens in the yard, sparrows were playing on the rows of landscape trees in front of the house, and chirping birdsong came in through the gaps in the open windows.

A new day is full of life and vitality.

But for him, a new day represented one step closer to death.

Thinking of this, my mood instantly became dark.

Subconsciously, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the red number representing the remaining lifespan appeared in front of his eyes, 87.

He let the red numbers disappear from his pupils in frustration.

But in the next second, he suddenly came back to his senses.

"Hey, no, how could it be 87? I remember that it was 87 yesterday, and the remaining life span should be 86 today!"

He quickly narrowed his eyes again, and the red number appeared in front of his eyes.

"Hey, it's really 87!"

After Zhou Shen saw it clearly, he was surprised and overjoyed.

Ants are greedy for life, let alone a living person?

For a dying person, even if his lifespan is only increased by one day, it is something worthy of joy and celebration.

"Why is lifespan not reduced today? Or, lifespan increased by one day?"

After being excited, Zhou Shen eagerly wanted to know, what caused his life span to increase?

"By the way, isn't there an attribute panel, call it out and have a look."

What happened in the past two days caused his nerves to weaken, his brain was in a daze, and he almost forgot about the panel.

After leaving the hotel yesterday morning, he didn't even think about the properties panel.

"How did you summon it?"

Zhou Shen experimented for a while, and finally found that it is useless to just stare with the eyes like summoning numbers, but needs to be imagined in the mind.

"No wonder it couldn't be summoned before!"

Zhou Shen was stunned, and immediately looked at the property panel.

【Name: Zhou Shen】

【Life: 87 days】

【Physical Strength: 6.5】

【Energy: 5.3】

[Gongfa: Baduanjin Beginner (1/100)]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute point: 0.2]

Zhou Shen immediately looked at the lifespan of the first row, and it did become 87 days.

He couldn't help being surprised and delighted. It seemed that there was indeed some reason for his increased life span.

Chapter 5 Lifespan Growth

Zhou Shen looked down carefully.

[Physical strength] has not changed, it is still 6.5 as yesterday, but he found that [Energy] has increased by 0.1 compared to yesterday.

"I remember that energy seems to be related to energy, thinking, consciousness, and emotions. Does that mean that sadness or happiness will also increase or decrease?"

Zhou Shen thought in his mind.

He couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he didn't delve into it, and continued to look down.

When I saw "Baduanjin" appearing in the [Cultivation Technique] column, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Zhou Shen is not a very stupid person, it's just that the sudden bad news plunged him into great sadness and fear, which made him not study hard yesterday.

At this time, under the happy mood, my thinking is much more agile than yesterday. After being a little surprised, I immediately realized what it meant.

"I understand! All the martial arts I have learned can be displayed through this attribute panel, and the one-day increase in my lifespan should be obtained through the previous study of Baduanjin."

Zhou Shen guessed the cause and effect relationship.

Although he didn't dare to confirm it 100%, but he felt that it should be close to ten.

Immediately excited, countless secrets of martial arts longevity came to mind in an instant.

After finally calming down, he continued to look down.

【Skill】No change.

But [attribute point] has become 0.2.

"Hey, where did this attribute point come from?"

Zhou Shen thought for a while curiously.

But because he didn't have any more information, he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he turned his attention to how to use it.

He tried to click on the attribute point with his mind like summoning the attribute panel, but found that a virtual box actually appeared behind the attribute point, and the box inside was the exercise [Baduanjin].

And he discovered that attribute points can be moved and transferred through thinking.

He tried to add all the 0.2 attribute points to Baduanjin, and he was surprised to find that the experience value behind Baduanjin was 1/100, which became 21/100.

"I see!"

Zhou Shen was suddenly surprised.

Now he knows how to operate the property panel.

"0.2 is equivalent to 20 experience points, so 1 attribute point is equivalent to 100 experience points?"

"Attribute points are equivalent to accelerators, which can speed up the practice of exercises."

"Since practicing Baduanjin can increase lifespan, and attribute points can increase the experience value of Baduanjin, will it also increase lifespan?"

This thought flashed across Zhou Shen's mind for an instant, and he subconsciously looked at the life span at the top.

【Life: 93 days】

Life expectancy increased by 6 days.

Zhou Shen froze for a moment, then his body trembled uncontrollably.

He wished he could yell a few times to vent his excitement and excitement.

But thinking about my current body, great sorrow and great joy can easily lead to extreme joy and sorrow, so I took several deep breaths, trying to calm down the ups and downs in my heart.

Even so, his eye sockets were still moist.

From the morning of the day before yesterday to this morning, for more than 40 hours, every minute of his life felt like a year, and he was suffering unimaginable pain in his heart.

The fear that his life was about to come to an end almost broke his spirit.

If it weren't for grandma, he might have gone to extremes.

Now that he finally sees hope, how can he not be excited?

……

After finally calming down, Zhou Shen looked at the two values ​​​​of [Physical Strength] and [Energy], and found that there had been no change.

He immediately went to the living room outside, stood in the middle of the living room, and began to practice Wudang Baduanjin.

He only practiced Wudang Baduanjin once last night, but he was not proficient in it. In addition, he was thinking wildly in his brain at the time, and his mind was not right, so he only remembered a general idea of ​​many movements.

But now practicing again, he suddenly found that he seemed to have practiced dozens or hundreds of times, and his movements were very coherent.

While the brain is still thinking about what the next action is, the body has already made the corresponding action.

Zhou Shen couldn't help being excited, this attribute cheat is really too powerful.

Although his lifespan has been increased by 9 days, he always keeps in mind that his body is very fragile and accidents may happen at any time. Therefore, in the process of practicing Wudang Baduanjin, he should be careful and very slow, just like Taijiquan .

After spending 10 minutes practicing Wudang Baduanjin, a layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

He didn't care to wipe off his sweat, and quickly opened the attribute panel to take a look. There was no change in the life column, and the experience points and attribute points below did not increase.

Zhou Shen was slightly disappointed, and then secretly guessed in his heart: "Could it be that you need to practice a few more times to gain experience?"

He was going to practice again.

However, he had just set up his posture, and then he gave up. Although Wudang Baduanjin is a health-preserving skill, it is very gentle when practicing, but after all, his body is too fragile now. He is afraid that if he practices too frequently, it will backfire.

"Let's practice after breakfast!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Shen took a few deep breaths, calmed down his excitement, and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Then go downstairs for breakfast.

Grandma cooks millet porridge in the morning, as well as golden egg pancakes, freshly cut pickled cucumbers, and his favorite salted duck eggs.

The omelette is not the kind that is rolled up, but the kind that is spread in the pan, which is crispy, fragrant and crispy, with an egg flavor.

The pickled cucumber is just sprinkled with a little salt flower, which looks fresh and green, which greatly increases the appetite.

As for the salted duck eggs, of course, they are also marinated with chili sauce, coarse salt and white wine. After peeling off one end, poke it with chopsticks, and the light yellow duck egg oil will flow out, making people salivate.

"Morning grandma!"

"You got up so early today?"

"Well! From now on, I will go to bed early and get up early every day."

Saying that, Zhou Shen stepped forward, put his arms around grandma and kissed her on the forehead.

The little old lady was also infected by the heartfelt smile on her grandson's face, and said with a smile, "Yes, early to bed and early to wake up is good!"

Then the grandparents had breakfast together.

Zhou Shen was still the same as before, chewing slowly.

Especially the egg pancakes, the crispy ones on the side are very sharp, and if you accidentally puncture the palate, and his gastrointestinal protection function is very weak now, once the food is too hard and the veins in the fundus of the stomach are damaged, resulting in massive bleeding, it will be over.

He kept chewing the crackers into a paste, and then swallowed it into his stomach with small mouthfuls.

The same is true for cucumbers. Although they have no sharp angles, they are hard objects after all, so they need to be carefully ground with teeth.

The little old lady was mature enough to see the problem, and asked, "What's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?"

Zhou Shen had already thought of an excuse, and explained at this time: "Grandma, I have a bad stomach and can't eat too hard food. The doctor also told me to eat slowly."

The little old lady didn't doubt that he was there, and when she heard her grandson's words, she immediately looked nervous and distressed, "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier? Grandma doesn't know, but I saw something wrong with you last night. You must have eaten those fast foods and ruined your stomach." Already!"

Zhou Shen quickly comforted: "It's okay, grandma, just pay attention, don't make a fuss."

The little old lady reproached fondly: "What's the matter? Stomach is a big deal. Nine out of ten people have stomach. If you don't take good care of it, you will suffer in the future."

As he spoke, the little old lady pulled off all the crispy sides of the omelet, leaving only the soft part in the middle for him to eat.

"Eat slowly! Grandma found out yesterday that you have lost a lot of weight compared to the last time you came back, but it's not good to ask you."

"Grandma, I have quit my job, and I will stay with you at home from now on!"

Grandma didn't ask yesterday, and Zhou Shen didn't say anything, so he took this opportunity to speak out.

"It's good to quit, that kind of work exhausts people, and the money they earn is not enough to see a doctor... Eat slowly, don't choke."

Just like Zhou Shen said to break up yesterday, the little old lady didn't care about his resignation, she just stared at Zhou Shen eating, wishing she could feed him with a spoon.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Zhou Shen knew that grandma didn't believe it, so he didn't say much, but ate slowly.

He didn't dare to eat too much, he just ate until he was six percent full.

After breakfast, the little old lady went to clean up the dishes, and then asked the old lady next door to go to the town to buy vegetables, thinking about what to cook for the grandson at noon to nourish the stomach?

And Zhou Shen took a walk near his home.
