Chapter 2 ?
Chapter 2 Time is fleeting
"You really mastered this kind of old-age thing?" Qin Cheng rushed over, looking at the clear handprints on the thick tree trunk, wondering.
The techniques scattered in old papers in the old days, from body techniques to meditation, to gas extraction techniques, internal nourishment methods, etc., are quite scattered in various records.
These days these are called Sanju, and many people call them Old Juju.
Although Qin Cheng has been in touch these years, he still has doubts deep in his heart. Can he really practice it?
Wang Xuan's performance touched him greatly. Flesh and fleshy palms can leave clear fingerprints on the thick and hard tree trunk. The old technique... really has a way to go? !
"According to the old times, I'm nothing." Wang Xuan shook his head, he was very handsome, like a faint white mist under the bright moonlight.
Qin Cheng sighed: "Don't compare with the past, I never believed it at all. In fact, many of those records have long been falsified."
Qin Cheng is also practicing old techniques, he knows how difficult it is, just some meditation techniques are enough to make people schizophrenic.
Today, when there is close contact with Nova, and the technology in deep space is brilliant, how many people still believe in this? Before I practiced, my heart was already shaken.
However, it was against this background that when Wang Xuan, Qin Cheng and others first entered university, someone approached them and asked them if they would like to conduct research related to old arts.
Wang Xuan had been exposed to Sanshu before, and was immediately interested, so he agreed on the spot.
As for Qin Cheng, he didn't believe it at all. It was only later that he heard that this research was related to some chaebols, and it was reported that a lot of money was invested. He was surprised and joined in with the attitude of giving it a try.
In the early days, while taking the original professional courses in their own departments, they used their spare time to participate in the so-called "old art research".
They found that the so-called research was actually mainly for them to practice on their own.
And began to have someone prepare special food for them, all for the better practice of certain Sanshu.
They felt more and more that this "research" was not easy, and the two old professors who taught them Sanshu were actually transferred from Xinxing.
Soon, some people couldn't hold on anymore and quit voluntarily, because practicing the old technique was very hard and quite boring.
The most important thing is that in today's age, people are skeptical of the art in the old paper pile.
However, although many people quit, there are more new ones.
Because of the support of the chaebol behind it, a lot of money has been invested in this "research", and we have begun to increase our efforts to select more suitable people to participate.
Not only in this city, but also in various parts of the old land, mainly college students. In order to mobilize enthusiasm, there are high salary incentives.
There were a lot of people who signed up at the beginning, but after the large-scale selection, after more than half a year of elimination, only about 50 people remained in the end.
Most of these people have transferred to other schools, and they are concentrated in the university where Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng are. While continuing their original majors, they form an "old art experimental class".
Not everyone is like Wang Xuan, they joined because of interest at first.
The transferees have been promised that after graduation, at least they will be guaranteed a decent job with a high salary.
At this point, everyone has realized that this "research" is very unusual, otherwise why spend so much effort on it?
The "old art textbooks" in the experimental class all come from some sources, including orphaned copies of museums, rare collections of chaebols, and scriptures of certain religions.
For example, a certain internal nourishment method was very famous in the old days, but it was lost in the end.
A few years ago, someone found it in a tomb and brought it back to light. Now it has been sorted out and becomes one of the study materials for the experimental class.
In addition, the meals of all the students in the old art experimental class have been prepared by special personnel, and they are very particular.
With understanding, many people are deeply surprised that some ingredients are extremely precious and rare, and it is difficult to obtain them in the old land, and they are transported from deep space.
The old professor who taught them Qi extraction once lamented that even in Xinxing, these ingredients are too expensive to kill people, let alone transported from deep space.
Some ingredients cannot be bought even with money.
Some of the ingredients are produced in the deep sea of Nova, which has anti-aging effects, some of the ingredients can nourish the blood, and some of the ingredients can keep people healthy.
For those who practice various Sanshu, food tonic is very important.
The old professor once said that individual ingredients are popular with some older people with amazing identities and backgrounds, because they can delay aging.
It can be seen how much attention has been paid to the "old art research" this time.
What is particularly surprising is that not long after, Xinxing actually came to join the experimental class with more than 20 freshmen.
Students from the old land have always yearned for new stars and hoped to study abroad, but this time it was the other way around.
With the arrival of these young men and women, some rumors spread one after another, allowing the students in the old art experimental class to gradually learn part of the truth.
"Some organizations, some research institutions, and some chaebols are pursuing immortality!"
At the beginning, this sentence really caused quite a stir in the old art experimental class, and many people were shocked.
In the eyes of modern people, that kind of pursuit is ridiculous and illusory.
However, throughout the ages, it seems that all those who have reached the corresponding heights are diligently striving for it.
As early as the pre-Qin period, the legends about immortals and alchemists have been longed for by later generations, and even kings are not exempt from the vulgarity.
However, from Qinhuang to Hanwu, and then to other latecomers, they all failed. Without the elixir of longevity, it is impossible for anyone to succeed.
In this era, the so-called myths have long been falsified, how could they exist?
However, it happened that such a news came from a bright new star in science and technology.
"To be precise, it is the elders of certain chaebols, the figures in power, who want to obtain a longer lifespan."
Although someone made a supplement, it still caused an uproar in the experimental class.
History is always strikingly similar. Throughout the ages, some big figures in their old age seem to be very unwilling, hoping to be young and eager for a vigorous body.
Back then, Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng whispered that they had arranged for those big figures.
"Old men are declining day by day, so they naturally yearn for youth. Otherwise, how can they appreciate beauties? I have billions of dollars, but I can't spend any more. If it were me, I would want to live another five hundred years!"
"Old ladies are definitely more ruthless than old men. The youth is gone, and the beauty of the past is now covered with wrinkles. For a strong woman who has a lot of resources and a powerful voice, getting old is definitely a natural enemy! If there is a chance, the old Ladies must be crazier than old men, and will try their best to regain their youth!"
At that time, several young men and women from Xinxing all rolled their eyes when they heard the whispers of the two, because it seemed to involve some of their respective elders.
