Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 539 Deception
This is an ancient book on martial arts and body tempering.

The opening chapter explains the importance of body tempering to martial arts.

It is said that if you practice qigong without practicing kung fu, it will all be in vain when you grow old.

Jia Weidong now has his own understanding of this.

If the internal energy is likened to liquefied petroleum gas, then the human body is equivalent to a gas tank.

In order to fill it with more liquefied petroleum gas, the gas tank must be made thick and sturdy, otherwise it will easily leak or even explode.

Only when the body is tempered to perfection can internal energy be born. I was just lucky that internal energy was born without tempering the body.

Perhaps it has something to do with the marrow cleansing pill he took.

It’s just that my body is not strong enough to accommodate more internal energy.

This is the reason why I can no longer continue to practice Hunyuan Yi Qigong.

If you force yourself to practice, your body will explode and you will die.

Next is a method of practicing standing meditation.

The桩功 was demonstrated to him by Taoist Guo, and it has a very domineering name, the Dragon-Tiger Body Tempering桩功.

Next comes the introduction to the Body Tempering Realm.

The book divides body tempering into eight stages: refining the skin, refining the flesh, refining the tendons, refining the bones, refining the internal organs, refining the marrow, refining the blood, and refining the spirit.

Each realm is divided into four small realms: entry, minor achievement, major achievement, and perfection.

If the body tempering is completed perfectly without any flaws, then the qi and blood will be like mercury and all diseases will be prevented. When one reaches that level, the lifespan can reach the limit of mortals, two centuries.

When the body is tempered perfectly and internal energy is generated naturally, it is the Inner Yuan State.

With the help of internal energy, he has the strength of a thousand pounds with every move he makes. He is extremely powerful and can live for two hundred years.

The Nei Yuan Realm is divided into 9 small realms. When Nei Yuan is perfect, all 365 acupoints in the body are opened up, and Nei Yuan becomes Gang, which is the Gang Yuan Realm, and the lifespan is 400 years.

It is said that after the Gangyuan realm there is the Tianren realm, with a lifespan of 800 years.

However, the predecessor who left this book did not know exactly what the realm of heaven and man was. He did not describe it in detail but just mentioned it briefly.

Historical records show that Taoist Master Zhang Sanfeng lived to be 217 years old, and there are also legends that he lived to be three or four hundred years old.

It seems these are all true.

I just don’t know whether Taoist Zhang Sanfeng is in the Nei Yuan realm or the Gang Yuan realm.

This was completely beyond Jia Weidong's understanding.

Before, in Jia Weidong’s opinion, only by practicing the legendary immortal methods could one achieve immortality.

The best that practicing martial arts can do is to prolong one's life, and it would be good enough if one can reach the limit of mortal beings.

Unexpectedly!

I didn't expect practicing martial arts could lead to such a long life!
If one can live to 800 years or more, then it is not an exaggeration to use the word "longevity".

"If I could live to be 800 years old, what kind of scenery would I see? No, even if I live to be 200 years old, that would be 2100 years later. By then, what would this planet look like?"

Jia Weidong became even more interested.

Who doesn’t want to live forever?
Even if you can't live forever, living a few more decades is good.

Although being able to live again is a blessing, as a person who has died once, Jia Weidong is even more afraid of death!
Jia Weidong was not busy practicing standing meditation, but was holding an ancient book and reading it carefully with great interest.

Read a book three times and its meaning will become clear.

If you understand it thoroughly, practicing will definitely be more effective.

Two days later.

Jia Weidong returned to the capital smoothly.

He only stayed in the courtyard of Elm Pavilion for one night.

the next day.

Jia Weidong once again boarded the green train to Jichun.

The ancient book given by Taoist Guo not only contains an introduction to the standing meditation and body-tempering realm, but also a prescription for a medicine called Body-Tempering Powder at the end.

The body-quenching powder can not only assist in standing practice and reduce the pain of body-quenching, but also speed up the progress of body-quenching.

However, there were only a few kinds of medicinal materials in Jia Weidong's space for the recipe of the Tempering Body Powder. Many of them were not in stock, and some of them he had never even heard of.

If you want to collect all the medicinal materials for the prescription, Changbai Mountain, which is rich in various medicinal materials, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Anyway, there is a coordination official letter, and it does not specify the specific number of days.

Therefore, Jia Weidong did not report back to the steel mill, but took this opportunity to go to Jichun. If he really reported back to the steel mill, it would not be so easy to get out again.

It has been several years since I last went to Jichun.

This trip to Jichun is not only to look for medicinal materials, but also to visit Zheng Juan's mother and younger brother Zheng Guangming.

Although he has been sending living expenses to Zheng Guangming and his son over the years, Jia Weidong really has no idea whether they are living well.

The next afternoon.

Jia Weidong arrived in Jichun safely.

Taiping Hutong.

Zheng family courtyard.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

The courtyard door was locked from the inside and Jia Weidong knocked on it.

"Who is it? Here you come!"

Zheng Cuihua's powerful voice was heard from the room.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that Zheng's mother was in good health and had no serious illness.

"Mom! It's me!" Jia Weidong shouted loudly across the courtyard wall.

Hearing Jia Weidong's shout, the footsteps in the yard quickened.

"Squeak!"

The gate opened quickly.

Mother Zheng looked at Jia Weidong with a surprised expression on her face, "Weidong is here!"

"Mom! I'm here on a business trip, and I came to see you and Guangming."

Although Zheng Juan is not Zheng Cuihua's biological daughter, Jia Weidong still treats her as his own mother-in-law.

Seeing Jia Weidong carrying a lot of bags, Zheng's mother reached out to take them. As soon as she took one, she exclaimed, "Oh my! It's quite heavy!"

Then she smiled and scolded: "Look at you, kid! You are carrying so many things and traveling such a long way. You must be exhausted!"

Jia Weidong shook his head and said with a smile: "Mom! I'm not tired! I'll do it myself."

I took it out of the space after I got outside the courtyard gate. What a waste of time!
After saying this, Jia Weidong carried his things into the house.

Zheng's mother was standing behind, looking out the gate with a hint of disappointment on her face.

Zheng Juan didn’t come back!
After entering the house, Zheng's mother poured a glass of water for Jia Weidong from an enamel pot and asked impatiently, "Dongzi! Where's Juanzi?"

Jia Weidong knew that Zheng's mother would ask, so he took out a prepared photo and handed it to her:

"Mom! Zheng Juan is currently studying at university. Look, this is a photo of her taken at the school gate."

The photo was taken when Zhao Yazhi was sent to school to register.

There are individual photos, as well as group photos of Jia Weidong, Zheng Juan and the other two.

Jia Weidong was holding a solo photo of Zheng Juan standing outside the gate of Sun Yat-sen University.

After wiping her eyes, Zheng's mother looked at the photo carefully.

"Oh my! I couldn't recognize her at first glance, but after a closer look, it's really my Juanzi! She's grown taller!"

Mother Zheng wiped her moist eyes as she spoke.

She missed Zheng Juan!
Zheng Juan was raised by her since she was a child. She must miss her after not seeing her for such a long time.

Jia Weidong comforted her, "Mom! When Zheng Juan graduates, I will ask her to come back to see you."

Mother Zheng looked at Jia Weidong with expectant eyes and asked, "How many more years will Juanzi study?"

"If you don't go to graduate school, it will take another three years. If you do go to graduate school, it will be even longer."

F4 hasn't finished yet after three years, Zheng Juan will definitely not come back, and Jia Weidong dare not say anything for sure.

Drag as much as you can.

Mother Zheng: "Ah! Why are you still studying for a master's degree? How old will you be after you finish? Don't study anymore! How can a woman of this age have children?"

"Mom! Don't worry! You can have a baby! You can have a baby after you graduate from college. It won't affect your graduate studies. Then maybe we can bring your grandson back to see you!"

In later generations, it was normal to get married and have children after the age of 30, so at this time, or was considered late. Zheng's mother couldn't understand what he said, so Jia Weidong had to continue to deceive her.

Seeing that Zheng's mother wanted to say more, Jia Weidong quickly changed the subject.

"Mom! Where's Guangming?"
