At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 25
Regarding Gao Bufan's almost provocative questioning, the grimacing man in black didn't seem to be angry, and said calmly: "I haven't reached the realm yet, so I don't have the chance to live forever, and I have never seen a person who lives forever, but I have seen Renrui who lived to 140 years old. Several people reach the age of 120, and even more live to reach the age of [-]. From this, it can be seen that as long as one can keep the essence and nourish the body continuously, longevity is not impossible."

Gao Bufan couldn't help being moved. The human body is composed of countless cells. Every moment, a large number of cells will die and a large number of cells will be produced. This is the so-called metabolism. Even if a person is not sick, the ability of cell regeneration It will also decrease with age. When the speed of cell regeneration cannot keep up with the speed of cell death, it means that the person is about to die.

In later generations, with the development of medical science and the emergence of various anti-aging drugs, the average life expectancy of human beings is indeed continuously increasing, especially those who receive good medical care can generally live beyond 90 years old. It is also possible to live to two or three hundred years old.

In the same way, if the practice of inner family exercises can really delay the aging of cells and stimulate the ability of cell regeneration, "longevity" is not impossible. Therefore, the words of the man in black with a grimace seem to be logically valid. Of course, it can Impossible is another matter.

The ghost-faced man in black saw Gao Bufan's dazed expression, and a slight surprise flashed in his eyes hidden in the ghost-face mask, and continued: "This old man has practiced for more than a year, but he still hasn't touched the way of longevity, you boy You are very talented, and you may go further than the old man on the way of cultivation, come on, it is getting late, the old man will pass on the first half of the exercises to you first, and then pass on the second half after you are familiar with it."

After the grimacing man in black finished speaking, he sat cross-legged, and Gao Bufan immediately sat down beside him and listened carefully.

The clouds gathered and scattered in the sky, and the shadow of the moon moved westward. Before he knew it, the sky was already bright. When Gao Bufan opened his eyes from meditation, the warm sunlight was leaking through the bushes and sprinkled on him. The ghost-faced man has long since disappeared.

Gao Bufan glanced around in surprise. Last night, after the ghost-faced man in black taught him the first half of the inner skills, he began to practice breathing according to the skills. It didn't take long. It was already dawn.

Gao Bufan stood up and exercised his muscles and bones, and found that after sitting cross-legged all night, not only did he not have blood clogging, he even felt that his limbs and bones were warm and very comfortable, and what he saw seemed to be clearer, weird , Is this a psychological effect?Or is it really that magical?

Gao Bufan touched the lower abdomen, the pain from the kick yesterday had long since disappeared, and the scab on the scratched shoulder had already formed, with just a light peel, those blood scabs fell off one after another, leaving only a few scars on it. Dao shallow white marks.

Gao Bufan has long been accustomed to this. He has been like this since he was a child, and the wounds on his body heal very quickly. As long as the wound is not very serious, there is no need to stop the bleeding and bandage. Maybe this is also the "sequelae" caused by the nuclear explosion. .

Gao Bufan did a warm-up exercise on the spot, and then he took out a single knife from the hole of a dead tree and chopped it.

It is said that besides practicing riding and shooting, Gao Bufan also practiced swordsmanship every day. The open space next to the woods in the back mountain is where he usually practiced swordsman. He was brought here late.

Gao Bufan's riding, shooting and saber techniques were taught by Gao Kaishan himself. The saber techniques are very simple, just chopping, teasing, stabbing, dragging, and racking back and forth, but they are very suitable for killing enemies on horseback, because Fighting on the battlefield, the simpler the moves, the better. The more complicated the moves, the faster you will die.

Just as Gao Kaishan said, don’t worry about your thousand swords, I will go with one sword. Fighting on the battlefield is nothing more than three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless. As long as you integrate these three, you will be invincible in fighting on the battlefield. Yes, the simpler and more direct the better!

ho ho...

Gao Bufan shouted loudly every time he slashed with a knife, he swung thousands of knives in a row before stopping, although he was already sweating profusely, his face was full of joy.

It turned out that Gao Bufan started practicing swordsmanship when he was ten years old. At the beginning, he could only chop [-] swords in a row. After a month, it increased to [-] swords. After half a year, it reached [-] swords. The level of around [-] knives has not made any progress for more than half a year. I didn't expect to break through the [-] knives mark in one fell swoop after not sleeping all night. No wonder he is so happy.

Gao Bufan knew very well that his body functions could not increase overnight. The reason why he suddenly broke through the bottleneck of [-] knives was probably because he meditated and breathed out last night, which adjusted his body functions to the best state. It's just over the top.

As the saying goes, Gao Bufan, who has tasted the sweetness, is full of motivation. He is about to review the internal exercises he learned last night, when he hears Gao Shou and Gao Ren call him: "Young master, young master!" !"

Gao Bufan turned his head to look, and he saw the two of them running over from a distance, shouting as they ran, and they came to him in a short while!
"Second brother, look, I told you that the young master must have come to Houshan early in the morning to practice kung fu. If you still don't believe me, ten coins, bring it quickly!" The visitor resentfully threw ten five baht coins over.

Gao Bufan wiped his sweat: "Why are you two crying so early in the morning?"

"Master, someone is looking for you, and the Patriarch told us to call you back." Gao Ren replied.

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "But Sun Anzu?"

"No, it's General Changsun's servant. It's probably because the matter has been settled. Hehe, I knew General Changsun was reliable." Gao Shou said happily.

Gao Bufan threw it casually when he heard the words, but seeing a flash of cold light, the sword flew into the nearby dead tree hole as if it had eyes.Gao Shou and Gao Ren's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly flattered and said, "Young master is amazing, you can go straight into the hole!"

Gao Bufan clapped his hands and said: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go, go back and have a look." After speaking, he strode towards the house.

Gao Shou scratched the back of his head, and asked doubtfully: "Second brother, do you feel that the young master is a little different today?"

"It's still not that handsome, what's the difference?" Gao Ren asked back.

Gao Shou grinned and said: "I can't say it, anyway... it's different anyway, it seems to be more energetic, yes, it is more energetic, and it seems to be in high spirits."

Gao Ren said contemptuously: "Young master is in high spirits every day, especially those eyes, which are black and bright. If I were a woman... oh, I'm too lazy to talk to you, young master wait for me!" chase down.

As soon as Gao Shou and Gao Ren left, a figure flashed out from behind the tree. It was the ghost-faced man in black from last night. He looked at the backs of the three master and servant with complicated eyes, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Besides, Gao Bufan entered the house briskly, went straight to the living room, and recognized at a glance that the visitor was indeed one of Changsun Sheng's trilogy. Gao Kaishan and Xia Steward were both present to receive him. Third-rank official, even though the other party is only one of Changsun Sheng's trilogy, Gao Kaishan still dare not neglect.

"Huang Cheng has met Mr. Gao!" Seeing Gao Bufan, Bu Qu immediately stood up and saluted politely.

Gao Bufan quickly returned the courtesy and said: "So it's Brother Huang, please sit down." After speaking, he stepped forward with a smile and refilled a cup of tea for the other party.

Huang Cheng was a little overwhelmed by the flattery, hurriedly said no, and bowed his thanks.

Gao Bufan sat down next to his father Gao Kaishan, who frowned and said lightly: "Where did you go so early in the morning? You were sweating profusely, and you came out to meet guests without changing your clothes. It's extremely rude!"

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "My boy went to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship. Brother Huang is also a martial arts practitioner. So many red tapes are out of order. Brother Huang, don't you think so?"

Huang Cheng laughed and said, "That's right, Master Gao doesn't need to be formal, and the next visit is not a formal visit, but ordered by the general to invite Master Gao and Young Master Gao to Hongyan Tower for a banquet at you hour today. "

A flash of surprise flashed in Gao Kaishan's eyes. He and Changsun Cheng had never known each other before, and they were powerless and unknown. Why did the other party invite you suddenly? Could it be because of Fan'er?

"What kind of virtue and ability are the grass-roots people, to be invited by General Changsun!" Gao Kaishan said a little uneasy: "If General Changsun doesn't dislike it, why not let the grass-roots people be the host someday."

Huang Cheng hastily said, "Master Gao doesn't need to see outsiders."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Father, since the general Changsun invited you warmly but was disrespectful, you should agree."

Gao Kaishan was still a little hesitant at first, but he could only nod his head when he heard the words: "The grassroots will be disrespectful."

Huang Cheng stood up and cupped his hands when he heard the words: "The little one will take his leave first, and then my general will wait for Master Gao and Mr. Gao at the Hongyan Tower."

Gao Kaishan didn't dare to say anything, and asked Steward Xia to send Huang Cheng out, and the latter didn't need to order, and sealed Huang Cheng's errand fee for one tael of silver.

After sending away Changsun Sheng's melody, Gao Kaishan grabbed Gao Bufan and forced him to ask, "Stinky boy, tell me the truth, why is Changsun Sheng so caring, don't talk about the nonsense of drawing swords to help when the road is injustice, you and I Do not believe!"

Gao Bufan also knew that sooner or later he would not be able to hide it, so he told the story of what happened in Gaojibo the day before yesterday. After Gao Kaishan heard it, he suddenly realized, stared at his son with lingering fear and said: "It's unreasonable, how dare you hide such a big thing from you?" Lao Tzu, I really don’t fight for three days, I’ll go to the house to expose the tiles!” After saying that, he went to get a feather duster.

Gao Shou and Gao Ren's complexion changed instantly, and they ran out, because according to past experience, the feather duster will fall on them, these two "slaves" in all likelihood.
