Chapter 7 Qigong Fever

After Li Xiangdong left, Li Yifan returned to the tense and hard life before the college entrance examination, living a life of school and home every day.

Doing exercises in class, chatting and farting after class, this beautiful man was confessed, that beauty was held hands, and so on, Chen Gang's sigh can be heard almost every day, lamenting that he has never met a talent and has not received a small love letter.

Immediately followed by Liu Lijuan's sarcastic voice, saying that he was a toad sitting in the well hoping for the swan to fall in, wishful thinking and daydreaming. Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was Sunday again.

Early in the morning, Li Yifan went to the park, first walked two trips to boxing, Li Yifan practiced boxing called Changjia boxing, Changjia boxing is also known as Confucian boxing, each of its boxing methods has a poetic annotation, its founder Chang Lechen was respected as a Confucian boxer by the martial arts world. Changjiaquan pays attention to the idea of mind, opening tendons and promoting bones in the line of qi, soft posture, posture breathing and breathing, running the qi of the dantian such as Qiankun changes, the way of heaven and earth, soft and rigid, the point of rigidity, containing dark energy, there is the power of opening the stele and cracking the stone.

This set of boxing Li Yifan learned from Master Yu, an old worker in the textile factory in Shaanxi, Li Xiangdong also learned it together, but he often fished for three days and dried nets for two days, at first Master Yu also beat him, but as soon as he beat him, he cried wolf, and then he smiled hippie, and over time the master gave up. Even so, Li Xiangdong has also benefited a lot, and he has been able to become famous in Nancheng in recent years, and he has also relied on the foundation laid by practicing boxing.

On the contrary, Li Yifan is different, he has liked martial arts since he was a child, and now he has to meet a famous teacher, and he starts practicing every day when the rooster crows, and he continues to do so for many years. I deeply loved Master Yu, and I observed Li Yifan for a few years, and saw that the young man was modest and low-key, never caused trouble, bullied others, respected the master very much, and kept the etiquette of three festivals and two birthdays, and usually chatted with the master when he was free to help the master do housework. Master Yu liked it from the bottom of his heart and taught Li Yifan the kung fu of pressing the bottom of the box.

After Li Yifan finished practicing boxing, he came out of the grove and walked along the small lake in the park, and as he walked, he saw people exercising early in the park, many of whom behaved very strangely, for example, several people in the pavilion on his left hand were sitting cross-legged on the ground, with their eyes closed, and a small aluminum pot with a shiny robe on their heads. I don't know what they're doing.

I asked passers-by, and they said that the pot on these people's heads was the legendary information pot, and it was said that the pot could be used to receive the atmospheric field of the universe and achieve celestial and human induction.

When Li Yifan walked to the small square, the scene he saw was even more incredible. I saw some people lying on the steps with their heads tilted, their hands raised in the air motionless; some people were half-squatting on the ground, their buttocks were raised back, their heads were stretched forward, their arms were bent and their hands were pointing at their swords, and the whole person was like an ostrich pouting their buttocks; some people were sitting on the ground with their legs stretched out, and their hands outstretched, looking up to the sky and howling; some people were lying on the ground with their ears close to the ground, as if they were listening to the roar of the earth.

Li Yifan's head was stunned for a while, and he couldn't figure out the situation, fortunately he was in the park now, and the sun was shining, if he put this scene indoors, he thought he had entered the third hospital by mistake, and the third hospital was the legendary hospital, you know. As soon as Li Yifan inquired, he learned that these people were practicing qigong, and now a national qigong craze is being set off across the country.

In the 80s and 90s of the last century, China once set off a national qigong craze, and in ten years, qigong gradually changed from a health preservation method to a "special function" exhibition, and tens of millions of people went crazy about it. "Qigong masters" are treated and sought after by celebrities.

The worship of special functions and qigong masters, in China in the mid-to-late 80s, formed a violent air current, sweeping all regions, all kinds of people, etc. In just a few years, there are more than 60 million qigong fans, dozens of qigong newspapers and periodicals, various qigong academic works, qigong medical hospitals, and qigong performances. Even in the official and scientific circles, this craze has been valued and recognized.

For example, the Chinese Society for Human Sciences, established in 1986, was chaired by General Zhang and Professor Qian as honorary chairman, and the World Medical Qigong Society, established in 1988, was chaired by Minister Cui Yueli of the Ministry of Health. Two researchers from a well-known university in Beijing also conducted experiments on the influence of qigong on molecular structure.

In big cities like Beijing, Guangzhou, and Xi'an, qigong fans occupy public spaces such as parks, and a "qigong master" comes as if a star had come, sometimes even local officials will attend. "Masters" such as Yan gave qigong reports, and tens of thousands of people listened to each one. Moreover, you must register in advance for the class, and the registration fee is not cheap.

In that crazy era, a lot of qigong was advertised together with special functions, and many qigong masters claimed to have special functions.

What is even more exaggerated is that on May 6, 1987, a forest fire broke out in the Great Khing'an Mountains. The next day, the famous "qigong master" Yan received an urgent invitation: "You are very interested in qigong fire fighting, can you introduce some experience and support in this regard." So, Yan closed himself on a small western-style building 2,000 kilometers away from the fire scene, began to work, and then threw out a prediction: Three days later, the fire will begin to ease. A few days later, with the efforts of officers and soldiers, the fire in Daxinganling was completely extinguished. The "master" seemed to have really played a role, and the media reported on this "feat", and countless Yan's students cheered for it.

Yan also once said that he could intercept *** with his work, and these statements made a group of experts very excited. This would be unthinkable now. These crazy acts and beliefs seem so incomprehensible and ignorant to us today.

Li Yifan came out of the park, went home to get the money and the 8,000 catties of food stamps sent by Li Xiangdong, and rode to Lao Mo's house. Because of the large transaction volume this time, it was inconvenient in the market, so I made an appointment at Lao Mo's house.

After a while, I arrived at Lao Mo's house, Lao Mo's home was in a small Manchu courtyard on North Street, there were two main rooms in the courtyard, two rooms in the east room, one room in the south room and a suite in the east room, a total of 3 families lived.

Lao Mo lived in the east room, and when he entered the house, Lao Mo beckoned Li Yifan to sit down, and went to the back room to get stamps. After a while, Lao Mo came out with a badminton bucket and reached out to hand it to Li Yifan.

Li Yifan opened the lid, carefully took out a rolled stamp, opened it, and saw that on a piece of red Tongtong's paper, there were 80 black golden monkeys squatting neatly, lifelike, rows of round holes divided this version of stamps into 80 sheets, each stamp left vertically lined with two rows of Chinese characters of Chinese People's Post and Gengshennian, a large 8-point character in the lower right corner, and 1980 under the 8-point. The whole stamp is surrounded by a complete white border, and the white edge on the left side is lined up with five traditional Chinese characters of "Beijing Stamp Factory".

Li Yifan carefully pinched the white factory logo with his fingers, and looked at it carefully, it was perfect, without any smudges and creases. Suppressing his excitement, he put the stamps back into the badminton bucket and closed the lid.

"Uncle Mo, you have bothered, you are in very good condition. ”

"Indeed, the whole page is not easy to find, and it took a long time to find only this one in good condition. In addition, no one wants this thing in the commemorative cover, the company's warehouse has been processed, only a box of "World Conference on Aging" commemorative envelope was found, uncle will not earn your money, the original in and out, a price of 1 Mao 8, a box of 500 sheets, 90 yuan, plus 2500 monkey tickets, you give me a total of 2590 yuan. ”

"Okay, Uncle Mo. In addition, is there a whole box of Dunhuang mural souvenir sheets issued in May?"

"Yes, how many boxes do you want?"

"What's the price?"

"The face price is 2 yuan, the price of the whole box is 4 yuan, a box of 100 tickets, 400 yuan, no bargaining. ”

"Okay, I'll take 5 boxes. And this time, I will bring you another 8,000 catties of food stamps, you can convert it. Li Yifan said, took out the bundled food stamps from his pocket, took out the money from his pocket, took out 1,400 yuan, and handed it to Lao Mo together.

"Uncle Mo, you order, I'll make it up for you. Lao Mo took the money.

pointed at Li Yifan with his finger, and said with a smile, "You kid, what do you order, uncle still can't believe you." ”

After speaking, he turned around and entered the back room, and when he came out, he was holding a small cardboard box in his hand, and there were 5 small cardboard boxes stacked on top of the cardboard box, and he put the cardboard box on the table and said, "This box is a commemorative envelope, 5 packs in a box, 100 sheets each, it is the original sealed box, and the package has not been opened." These 5 boxes are souvenir sheets, 100 sheets each. ”

Li Yifan packed the stamps and souvenir sheets in his schoolbag, hugged the cardboard box, said goodbye to Lao Mo, and rode home. After returning home, he put the stamps properly, put the remaining 1,600 yuan in his drawer, sat down at the table, and secretly counted the accounts.

One is to invest 500 yuan in the food stamp business first, as of now, 12,000 catties of food stamps have been exchanged, Li Xiangdong should still have 1,000 yuan in his hand, enough for him to turnover, if the 1,000 yuan is exchanged for food stamps, he can also receive 12,000 catties of food stamps, which should be 4,800 yuan.

Second, the 3,000 yuan given by my father is still 1,600 yuan.

At present, 500 yuan was invested, a total of 20,000 catties of food stamps were exchanged, worth 8,000 yuan, and a total profit of 7,500 yuan.

Li Yifan thought that although the food stamp business was lucrative, it was not legal after all, and now that he had some starting capital, he could consider terminating the plan.
