74: Chapter 73 The Vajra Longevity Technique Goes Berserk

Early the next morning, many of the elderly neighbors noticed something different about the family today.

"Sister Li, did your grandson come back from Shenzhen?"

"Whoa, Sister Li, what are you practicing?"

"Yeah, it looks like Tai Chi. Want to go square dancing with us?"

A group of old men and women watched the elder and the youth in the courtyard, performing one movement after another, and couldn't help but marvel.

Hearing this, the little old lady smiled especially happily; the elderly woman was always happy when someone mentioned her grandson.

"I'm following my Changsheng to practice that… Vajra Longevity Qigong thing. My Changsheng has been back for a few days, but he took a fall a while ago, so he's recovering at home."

"I won't go. I won't be going to square dancing. My Changsheng says practicing this can help you live to a hundred!"

The little old lady didn't actually know if this stuff worked, but since her grandson said it was good, it definitely had to be.

Li Changsheng sat to the side, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness; the little old lady had a cute side too.

Since the attribute points were added, Li Changsheng had removed most of his bandages. Except for his right leg, which he still couldn't move, he estimated it wouldn't be long before he was mostly recovered.

Hmm, he planned to go to the town hospital in half a month to get the cast removed.

As for today, since he was idle anyway, he might as well teach the old lady to practice this set of Vajra Longevity Qigong.

It must be said that the essence of this martial art lies in combining them.

He had checked the old lady's physical condition yesterday; she barely reached the level required to practice Vajra Qigong. Vajra Qigong could be practiced once every three days, while Longevity Qigong was practiced daily.

And right now, they were practicing Vajra Qigong, with Longevity Qigong to be practiced in the evening.

As the saying goes, practice Vajra by day, Longevity by night.

Some people also say that Vajra Qigong cannot be practiced at night because mobilizing Yang Qi at night is equivalent to suicide.

One can only say that although Vajra Longevity Qigong is simple and extremely easy to learn, it also has certain taboos.

"So it's Changsheng who taught you. Speaking of which, I haven't seen that kid Changsheng in a long time."

"Isn't that the truth? The last time we saw him was during the New Year the year before last."

This was true; last year, the epidemic in Shenzhen was quite severe, and Li Changsheng couldn't go back.

The fellow villagers before him were all familiar faces, but they had all aged a bit since he last saw them.

Looking around, they were almost all old men and women; he didn't see a single young person.

This was normal; besides the elderly, there were only children in the village. There were very few young, able-bodied adults; most had gone out to work.

"Hey, Changsheng, is this thing of yours actually useful? I've seen the Daoist priests over at Wudang Mountain practicing some kind of Qigong, too. Is yours the same as theirs?"

An old man asked curiously. Li Changsheng recognized him; he lived next door, Cai San. Li Changsheng usually called him Third Grandpa.

"Third Grandpa, I haven't seen what kind of Qigong the Wudang Mountain Daoist priests practice, but my Vajra Longevity Qigong definitely has results. And it's very easy to pick up; usually, you can see some effects within a week."

Li Changsheng said with a chuckle; he really hadn't seen the Wudang Mountain Daoist priests practicing.

Although he lived nearby, he rarely lived here when there were few people around during his childhood. By the time he grew up, there were countless people there, and since his visits were short, he couldn't be bothered to join the crowd.

However, he wasn't lying. As long as the movements were standard, there would basically be results within a week, unless there were special physical conditions.

"It looks simple enough. I've been having trouble sleeping lately, my waist and legs hurt occasionally, and my old lady says I smoke too much. Can this thing help quit smoking?"

As soon as Third Grandpa said this, it immediately drew a burst of laughter from many old neighbors.

"Brother Cai San, what use is this for quitting smoking?"

"Yeah! If you ask me, it's just that your wife needs to stop giving you pocket money. If she doesn't give you money to buy cigarettes, you'll quit!"

"I've heard of practicing Qigong to cure waist and leg pain, but never for quitting smoking."

Listening to everyone's laughter, Cai San chuckled along. The little old man was a fun-loving person; despite his burly build, he always kept his hands crossed inside his sleeves.

"It can! My Vajra Qigong includes a section called 'Stamp Feet to Eliminate Cravings'. This move can cure your smoking addiction!"

When Li Changsheng said this, everyone was stunned.

Immediately, a few old men shook their heads incessantly.

"Changsheng, don't try to fool me. How can it help quit smoking? I've tried quitting three times before, and not once did I succeed."

Cai San didn't believe it at all; after all, it was too mysterious.

Li Changsheng shook his head and just smiled faintly: "Third Grandpa, don't be so skeptical. If you're capable, try practicing this move of mine. If there are no results after three months, come find me again!"

He really wasn't lying to Third Grandpa. The move he mentioned was the eighth section of Vajra Qigong. Here, 'drink' refers to diseases caused by eating and drinking, and 'cravings' refers to abnormal hobbies and bad habits, such as smoking or alcohol addiction, which will gradually be broken.

According to the feedback from his memory, this move indeed had such miraculous effects, and for this reason, he had even specifically looked it up online.

He was surprised to find that someone had posted about successfully quitting smoking after practicing Vajra Qigong for three months. That person was also a heavy smoker who, like Third Grandpa, had failed to quit three times.

"Really? Don't lie to me. Anyway, there's no farm work lately, so I'll really give it a try!" Third Grandpa was still a bit suspicious.

However, seeing Li Changsheng's very determined expression, he didn't say anything more.

Instead, several other old men and women on the side spoke up.

"Changsheng, what kind of Qigong is this that's so powerful? Can it help with weight loss? I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver, and I heard my blood lipids are high too. Can this cure that too?" an auntie asked hurriedly.

"Auntie Peng, it can! As long as you practice diligently, I guarantee you'll see results in a month!"

Li Changsheng nodded decisively. It would be an exaggeration to say that Vajra Longevity Qigong cured all diseases, but it was definitely a magical martial art.

Isn't there a saying about Vajra Longevity Qigong?

"The young practice it to grow wisdom and strength, the old practice it for longevity; the healthy practice it to increase Qi and strength; the sick practice it to eliminate illness at the root; the overweight practice it to normalize weight; the thin practice it to gain weight; there are no deviations, and certainly no Qi Deviation."

And there were cases, quite a few, too. Just take a girl who lost 6 jin in ten days.

Hearing Li Changsheng say this, the others were even more astonished. It could even help with weight loss and treat fatty liver?

"Changsheng, can this treat that... that... well, I have a friend who has been a bit weak lately..."

The speaker was a forty-year-old uncle, slightly bald and a bit pudgy.

"It can! Of course it can. It strengthens the foundation and doubles vitality. Uncle Liu, trust me; practice for a month, and if there's no effect, come find me again!"

"Sigh, I—I'm not looking for you, I said it's my friend!" Uncle Liu waved his hands repeatedly, his old face turning red and hot.

Li Changsheng chuckled and didn't say anything; friends, after all, everyone has many of them.

And this second section of Vajra Qigong, 'Hands and Feet Back and Forth to Strengthen Kidneys and Waist'.

The name itself is so explicit, how could it not have an effect?

It is said that doctors even use it clinically for patients with waist and knee soreness, impotence, premature ejaculation, and frequent urination.

"Then! Can it treat my daughter-in-law's... pain... that thing? You know, the monthly one!"

The question came from an auntie in her fifties or sixties. People in the village were still quite reserved, especially in front of a young person like Li Changsheng.

"It can! It can also do that. Practice Vajra in the morning, Longevity in the evening, five times each, and you'll see results in a month."

Li Changsheng continued to enthusiastically explain things to everyone.
