Chapter 108: Great skill but no workmanship

Chapter 108 It’s a coincidence

The map on the other side is a bit strange. A stream in the middle of a mountain falls from the top of the mountain and falls into a large pool halfway up the mountain. There are a lot of water flowing into it from all around. There are rugged rocks in the mountain, and there are patches of them. The forest looks like a landscape painting, which is quite abstract.

There is no textual annotation or any hint.

“This painting doesn’t seem to match the previous text, does it?”

After looking at Wang An for a long time, I couldn't tell much about him.

{You read an ancient passage and looked at a picture, and you were very confused. }

Aren't you confused? You didn't give me any hints. Wang Anxin said.

If you don’t understand it at the moment, put it away first and think about it carefully. You have plenty of time anyway.

Towards evening, Wang An arrived at the place chosen by Li Xinzhu, a high-end buffet restaurant.

"Originally, I wanted to invite you to a newly opened southern restaurant. That place has a good reputation. I ate there once and it tasted pretty good. But considering your appetite, this kind of place is more suitable for you. It has seafood and barbecue. , there are meats, vegetables and fruits, a wide variety, both meat and vegetables."

"Well, it looks good." Wang An looked at the surrounding environment. The restaurant was decorated to a high level and there were many people coming to eat, which showed that there were many wealthy people in Hu'an City. They chose a corner. s position.

“Let’s talk while eating?”

“Let’s talk while eating.”

Li Xinzhu’s side steamed a pot of seafood, while Wang An’s side mixed it with meat, vegetables, and fruits.

“Is your master seriously injured?”

“Forget it, I was slapped twice and I’m lying in the hospital now.”

"so serious?"

"It's really serious. It's just a little skin injury, but no bones or internal organs. He has to do a more detailed full-body examination tomorrow. He is typically afraid of death!" Li Xinzhu said angrily.

“Don’t say that, it’s your master after all. Since he is so cautious, why should he wade into this muddy water?”

"Do you know how valuable that thing is? It is said that someone has already quoted this amount?" Li Xinzhu held out a finger.

"one million?"

“Add a zero at the end!” Li Xinzhu lowered his voice.

"Ten million?!" Wang An was also stunned. He didn't expect the treasure to be so valuable.

“Then do you know what that treasure is?” He then asked. He now wanted to know if he had obtained the item worth ten million. If so, it would have been a huge bargain.

One day if he understands the picture and changes hands, he will get the ten million, and this set of large flats will come right away, right?

“It seems to be a Buddha. It’s not clear what material it is made of. Some say it is a golden Buddha, while others say it is a jade Buddha.”

“Buddha?” Wang An was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed in his heart, and felt like he had missed out on ten million.

"No, you have never seen that thing, have you? Don't tell me that thing is in your hands!"

“I think it would make a lot of money, wouldn’t it?”

“If you still make a fortune, you will be killed!” Li Xinzhu said hurriedly after hearing this.

"Now everyone who knows the news is going crazy asking about the whereabouts of that thing. Who doesn't want to earn 10 million! With this thing in hand, you don't know how many waves it will encounter on the way to meet the buyer. The interception is there!"

“A society governed by the rule of law, don’t talk about it like making a movie.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. In the face of enough interests, they will do crazy things that you can’t imagine. Do you know how many people died in Chenxi Village today? Seven!

The director of the Security Bureau was so angry that his face was blue, he dropped his water glass, and almost broke the table during the meeting. It is said that one of them was a wanted criminal, and he was beaten to death, which was regarded as eliminating harm for the people. "Li Xinzhu made a gesture.

“You are really well-informed. You know all about the meetings of the Guard Bureau?!”

“You know I have many friends, so I will naturally be well-informed.” Li Xinzhu smiled.

“Have you caught any suspect?”

“Three were caught and are being interrogated.”

Three? Wang An thought of the three people he met before entering the village.

“It can’t be them, right?”

“Eat, eat, eat, today I have opened my eyes.”

“Shut up, don’t talk nonsense, I think Xu Huang might come looking for you.” Wang An reminded.

"Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say." Li Xinzhu nodded.

 Hu'an City Guard Bureau, many offices in the office building have lights on, and many people work overtime here. In one office, Xu Huang scratched his head and frowned.

There was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged man pushed the door open and came in.

“Director Cui.”

"Based on the evidence we have now and the results of the on-site analysis, neither the villagers who were killed in the village, nor Hong Yu, nor Tang Gang who was killed on the mountain had anything to do with those three people. They did not enter the village." Xu Huang was silent for a moment and then said truthfully.

“Then what are they doing there? Admiring the scenery and traveling?”

“They just said that they were hired by others to guard the mountains. As for who hired them, they didn’t know who they were. They just received money to do things for others.”

“You must not be telling the truth. These guys typically don’t shed tears until they see the coffin!” Director Cui slammed the table angrily.

"Director Cui, what happened today is complicated and involves many people. It will take time to find out the truth. Director Cui, don't be too anxious." Xu Huang advised him.

"Seven people died, can I not be anxious!? If you need anything, just ask, we will fully cooperate with you."

"Okay." After Director Cui left, Xu Huang leaned on his chair, sighed, and let out a long sigh. For some reason, a person came to mind.

In the cafeteria, the food is steaming hot and the smell of meat is overflowing. Li Xinzhu was holding a small green dragon in his hand and eating it deliciously.

“Well, it’s delicious. Do you think those people are just for money?”

“It is very possible that people will die for money and birds will die for food.” Wang And said. He didn’t seem to be eating very fast, but the amount of food he had eaten so far had been three times that of Li Xinzhu.

“This antiquities are really valuable. No wonder so many people sell antiquities and rob tombs.”

“Are you greedy?”

“Ten million, how can you not be greedy? How many meals of king crab can you eat?

Chen Xifeng has been smart for half his life, but he got into a lot of trouble because of his confusion. He is still lying in the hospital with more injuries, and almost died. This time, his ancestral home was taken away again, which affected everyone in his hometown. The father suffered an unreasonable disaster, which resulted in the loss of his family and his family. "Li Xinzhu said with emotion.

“So people can’t be too greedy.” Wang An rolled the meat in vegetables and put it in his mouth.

“It stands to reason that Chen Xifeng’s property is large enough and he would not take such a big risk for the sake of 10 million.”

"Perhaps he thought that he was doing it secretly enough so that no one would know about it. Perhaps he didn't expect to take such a big risk in advance, or maybe it was for other reasons."

“So this person’s fate is his!” Li Xinzhu said with emotion.

“Why do you suddenly express such emotion? Do you still believe it?” Wang An said with a smile after hearing this.

“I have experienced it myself.”

“Did the fortune teller tell you when you would become prosperous?”

"Yes, he said that between the ages of twenty-five and twenty-seven, I would have a big opportunity in my life. If I seize it, my life would change dramatically. I think I should seize it." Li Xinzhu He reached out and gestured.

“Really, what opportunity?”

"Well, I can't say this. It won't work if I say it. I just know it myself." As he spoke, Li Xinzhu picked up another Pipi shrimp, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Well, it’s delicious.”

After having enough wine and food, the two of them left the restaurant and walked back.

“Let’s go drink coffee.” Wang An walked to a cafe and looked inside.

"I can't get used to drinking this stuff. Not to mention the bitter taste, the price is so expensive, it's not affordable at all." Li Xinzhu glanced at the cafe.

“Let me tell you something before you go in.”

“Then go to your place and have a cup of tea. What are you going to waste your money on?”

“Also good.”

The two of them came to Wang An's residence. Wang An made a pot of light tea and poured a cup for Li Xinzhu.

“I estimate that Xu Huang will come to us tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Let’s communicate some things in advance.”

"You said." Li Xinzhu sat up straight.

"Nothing else matters. The person who used the concealed weapon and fought with me will skip the process and let it rot in his stomach. No one will talk about it. Don't mention it."

“Well, I remember, what about my phone call to inform you?”

"To be honest, you just said you heard someone said there was a treasure in the village, so you called me. I had already met Xu Huang at the Chen family's old house in the village. He knew I was looking for something. This can’t fool anyone.”

“What about my master?”

“You can make up your own mind. I don’t think it matters. To be honest, there won’t be any problem.”

The two of them discussed for a while before Li Xinzhu left.

Before going to bed, Wang An took out the picture and looked at it for a while, but still didn't see anything.

When he woke up the next day, he continued his usual daily life, doing Wu Qin Xi, Tai Chi, and then started practicing Vajra Meditation Palm.

Boring practice, constant repetition, Vajra slaps the table, Vajra pushes the mountain.

The King Kong Pai Ban is not only shot vertically, but also diagonally or horizontally. As long as you master the method of exerting force, you can be flexible and changeable. The main point of the Vajra Push Mountain is a straight push.

After Wang An's Tai Chi reached the level of proficiency, the strength of the whole body was connected in series. Now practicing this palm technique is to quickly gather the strength of the body into one force, and then gather it into the palm of the hand, through the palm of the hand. It burst out all at once.

If Tai Chi is about "skill" and "softness", then Vajra Palm is about "clumsiness" and "hardness". There aren't too many moves, just simple taps and pushes, which have a somewhat ingenious and unworkable charm.
