Chapter 754: Is there anyone who can prolong his life?
"You kid..."
Seeing this, Zhou Xu raised his foot and pretended to kick.
Xie Liancheng quickly shouted for mercy.
"Alright, there's no outsider here, stop it!"
After hearing this, Xie Liancheng stood up with a smile.
Looking at this guy and thinking about what happened just now, Zhou Xu couldn't help but ask...
"Old Jie, do you think I have aged a lot?"
“…”
Zhou Xu's question really caught him off guard.
But after thinking about what happened in court today, he began to understand why Zhou Xu suddenly asked such a question.
"In my opinion, you haven't changed much since before, but you have always looked young, which is normal."
Having said that, Xie Liancheng chuckled, then casually put his hand on Zhou Xu's shoulder and started to link arms with him.
"But I didn't expect that after traveling through time and space for so many years, you are still a bachelor. How is it? You are going to start a harem soon. How do you feel?"
"Mood? Just like that."
Zhou Xu looked calm, which made Jie Liancheng stunned.
Then, he leaned back slightly, looking at Zhou Xu's face, which did not look out of place even when standing among a group of elves.
At this moment, he remembered.
Even before he crossed over, this guy had always been popular with women, and it could even be said that he was too popular with women! For some people who have never had any relevant experience, it is precisely because they cannot get them that they are always full of fantasies about women, and having a harem is something they dream of.
But Zhou Xu is full of practical experience, and he is even tired of it. He is not on the same level as those people! "What happened to you suddenly?"
Looking at Jie Liancheng, whose face was full of regret and who couldn't help pounding the ground madly, Zhou Xu was puzzled.
“No, nothing…”
He couldn't say that he had originally wanted to tease him about the harem, but suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, right? In order to avoid Zhou Xu's further questioning, Xie Liancheng simply changed the subject.
"Come to think of it, you've changed a lot compared to before."
"Is there?"
Zhou Xu asked casually, not feeling any change in himself.
However, Xie Liancheng nodded seriously.
"Yes! From childhood to adulthood, you have always been uninterested in everything and indifferent to everything. What's the idiom that describes this?"
Xie Liancheng thought for a moment.
"Oh, right, life is boring. I'm talking about you! At that time, I really thought that it would not be surprising if you got tired of living and wanted to commit suicide."
“Is it that exaggerated?”
Zhou Xu was amused by Jie Liancheng's words.
But Xie Liancheng's expression became more and more serious, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.
"Yes! But now you've changed."
"What has it become?"
Zhou Xu suddenly became a little curious.
"You become passionate, full of enthusiasm for life, and have things you want to do. You can't wait to devote all your time to them!"
Jie Liancheng never dreamed that Zhou Xu, who didn't want to do anything and had no interest in anything before traveling through time, has now become an exaggerated super workaholic.
This made Xie Liancheng curious.
"You have to deal with so many documents every day now, is it so interesting?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xu suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Dealing with documents is not interesting, but taking control of a country and letting it grow and develop according to my wishes is very interesting. What I enjoy is the process of making a country grow and become stronger!"
When Zhou Xu said this, his face was full of excitement that Jie Liancheng couldn't understand.
But Xie Liancheng understood one thing.
That is, the original world is indeed not suitable for him. Maybe it was not until the moment of crossing that Zhou Xu was truly alive! At this moment, looking at Zhou Xu who was pulling him excitedly and wanted to tell him about the fun things in this world, Xie Liancheng raised his hand...
"Stop, I don't understand and I don't want to listen. What do you want me to do?"
After hearing this, Zhou Xu came back to his senses and remembered the purpose of calling Jie Liancheng over.
"Oh, it's like this. I learned a set of Tai Chi from Zhang Jingyan. Can you help me see how it works?"
As he spoke, Zhou Xu performed the Tai Chi set.
After watching the whole set, Jie Liancheng's expression didn't change much.
"It's just the health-preserving Tai Chi that the uncles in the park do. Nothing special."
"Do you have anything better?"
"Yes, what's the matter? You want to learn martial arts again now?"
"That's the plan."
"What do you want? To improve your boxing skills? Sword, spear, or cudgel skills? Or something else?"
"Is there anything that can prolong life?"
“…”
These words silenced Jie Liancheng.
"It can only help you stay healthy, but I don't know if it can help you live longer."
"Alright."
"Many styles of Xingyiquan and Bajiquan can strengthen your body, but considering your condition, I'd better teach you Tai Chi."
"It's all right. You are a professional, and you have the final say."
At this court meeting, ministers led by Li Bowen urged him to have children and appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, which made Zhou Xu fully aware of his own life span issue. He began to care about how long he could live, and at the same time wanted to extend his life as much as possible, which led to the current situation.
"The Tai Chi I'm going to teach you is divided into several stances. Since you're a beginner, you should learn the middle stance first. The health-preserving Tai Chi you practiced before is a simplified version of this. I'll demonstrate it first, and you watch carefully."
As he spoke, Jie Liancheng began to perform.
It took about ten minutes for Jie Liancheng to finish his set.
"Hongxu, how much do you remember now?"
"More than half."
"And now?"
"There's only a little bit left."
After a while...
"And now?"
"I have forgotten all about it."
"Okay, you can go now."
After saying this, Xie Liancheng was the first to lose his composure.
"Fuck! I'm talking to you seriously, you're playing Zhang Wuji for me?! How much do you remember?"
After hearing this, Zhou Xu spread his hands.
"It's pretty close. Come to think of it, is this ancient martial arts Tai Chi?"
"What ancient martial arts? This is Tai Chi, a traditional martial art."
"Does this set have any practical value?"
"The first two sets of stances are mainly for strengthening the body. If you want to fight, you have to practice the latter sets."
Having said this, Xie Liancheng paused, and after sorting out his thoughts, he started talking again.
"Moreover, if you want to apply martial arts to actual combat, you need to learn and apply it flexibly. It is useless to just follow the routine. In addition, physical fitness is also very important."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that those Taoist priests and monks don't look strong. Once you lift up their Taoist robes, you can see that they are full of tendons and muscles. This is their foundation."
As he spoke, Xie Liancheng waved at Zhou Xu.
"You punch me."
Seeing this, Zhou Xu didn't hesitate and punched Jie Liancheng directly.
Immediately afterwards, without seeing any big moves from Jie Liancheng, he just put his hand on and turned it, and easily knocked Zhou Xu's fist aside.
"Bring two more sticks here, and hit me with them."
Just like before, this time, Xie Liancheng used a stick to easily deflect his attack.
"Whether it was before when I was bare-handed or now when I was holding a stick, I used Tai Chi techniques to block your attacks. Weapons are extensions of the limbs. As long as the techniques are mastered, you can still use them freely with weapons."
Update is here. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be more updates after 10:30 today (end of this chapter)
