Chapter 234 Great Opportunity
At this time, Wang An thought about it, the so-called "qi clock" is the release of true energy, which is to form a special "energy" defense barrier outside the body.
After practicing like this, a month passed in the blink of an eye. In this month, Li Xinzhu broke a total of 324 wooden sticks. The faster the sticks were broken, the faster they were broken. faster.
After this month of practice, Wang An's Golden Bell Kungfu has improved very significantly. Basically, it can make external force fall on the body, and the rebound force will be generated. This is the result of beating hundreds of sticks every day. .
Not only that, Wang An's ability to listen to sounds and identify positions has also been greatly improved.
Thousands of miles away in the capital, Ren Shuangjia came to Professor Luo's school. The other party called him not long ago to tell him that he had made new gains.
He came outside Professor Luo's office, knocked on the door, and heard someone inside shouting "come in."
Then he pushed the door open and walked in. It was a small office. Against the wall were a bunch of cabinets, an old sofa, and an old desk filled with books and materials.
From these furnishings, it can be seen that Professor Luo is a person who only focuses on research and does not care much about material life.
“Oh, it’s Staff Officer Ren. It’s a bit messy here, so don’t mind, just sit down wherever you want.”
“You called to tell me about the latest discovery?”
"Well, I deciphered a few more words. It should be that the sun and the moon shine together and the river flows backward. Therefore, this Immortal Valley may appear in the place where the river flows backward, when the sun and the moon shine together."
“The sun and the moon shine together, but the river flows backward?”
“The sun and the moon shining at the same time are actually not particularly rare. It is a normal natural phenomenon. It is caused by the different rotation periods of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth.
Theoretically, it will appear every month as long as the atmospheric conditions are relatively good, but it requires certain conditions to be directly observed by the naked eye. Generally, it can only be seen in broad daylight during the 21st to 23rd of the lunar calendar in the autumn months when the sky is clear and visibility is good.
As for the reverse flow of rivers, this is relatively rare. There are only a handful of records of rivers flowing backward in China. "Professor Luo explained.
Ren Shuangjia nodded after hearing this. Rare means easy to find. The scope of screening suddenly became much smaller. Now it seems that he is one step closer to the truth.
“Professor Luo, besides you, who else in China is proficient in this field of research?”
These days, Ren Shuangjia is also thinking about who stole the tortoise shell. Since they came here for this thing, they must have known its purpose. First, they must be able to recognize the words engraved on it. , obviously there are only a handful of people in the empire who know this ancient writing.
“There are several experts in the field of ancient writing, and I have been communicating with them these days. For example, two professors, Liu Xueshen and Li Yuxi, are very accomplished in the study of ancient writing.”
“Besides them?”
Well, Professor Luo lowered his head and thought for a while. I vaguely remember that there is another person who has done a lot of research on the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. By the way, his name is Li Fenglou. "
Ren Shuangjia wrote down the name, asked a few more questions, and then left. After returning to the Special Affairs Bureau, he immediately arranged for people to investigate Li Fenglou.
It didn’t take long for the news to come back. Li Fenglou passed away last month. The cause of death was myocardial infarction.
“He passed away, what a coincidence!” Ren Shuangjia thought to himself, leaning on the sofa and looking out the window.
“Interesting, I haven’t encountered such an interesting opponent for a long time.”
Just as he was thinking about his next move, the phone rang suddenly.
“Hey, um, when did it happen? Okay, I understand.”
Someone just informed him that Lu Xiangyi had just left the capital and had reported to the headquarters that his destination was Wang An's hometown.
“Are you going to see Wang An?”
The next day, when I saw Wang An, Li Xinzhu was also there.
“I wanted to find out something before I came back to see you, sir, but unfortunately I didn’t find out much useful information,” Lu Xiangyi said.
“Ren Shuangjia is in charge of the investigation in the capital. He recently found a professor who specializes in ancient literature to decipher the tortoise shell text on Warehouse No. 7. The headquarters has also arranged for people to search for the so-called Immortal Valley.”
“Does that mean you can find those people once you find the Immortal Valley?”
“It should be like this.” Lu Xiangyi nodded.
“Have you been in Beijing recently?”
“Yes, I have been in the capital, so I am semi-off duty.” Lu Xiangyi said with a smile.
Because of the incident in the capital, the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters was very dissatisfied with him and Xu Qi. If it weren't for their special identities and unusual backgrounds, coupled with Wang An's relationship, it is estimated that they would both be imprisoned now. Disposed of.
It is not only him who is affected personally, but also his family.
After all, you are being paid a salary and enjoying benefits, but you are flirting with others. This is something that no one can tolerate. However, Lu Xiangyi did not regret that things had developed to this point. He had never regretted it after his sister was rescued.
“Since you’re not busy, you might as well stay here for a few more days. I’ll give you a small gift.”
Li Xinzhu on the side was startled after hearing this. He saw Lu Xiangyi smiling. He had already guessed what Wang An was going to do. He also told him the same thing last time.
"A gift, what gift?" Lu Xiangyi was quite surprised after hearing this, "Isn't it just for this matter that I was called here?"
“I’ll help you sort out your meridians, ease your tendons and cleanse your marrow.”
“What?” Lu Xiangyi was stunned after hearing this.
“What, you don’t want to?”
"Yes, of course I am willing!" Lu Xiangyi said hurriedly.
If you refuse such a good thing, you would be a fool! Lu Xiangyi immediately realized that this time was a great opportunity for him.
“It may take a little longer, about a month. Do you want to call and ask for leave first?”
"Okay." Lu Xiangyi called immediately to ask for leave. As long as he could relax his muscles and cleanse his marrow, it would be worth a year, not to mention a month.
“Do you need me to prepare anything?”
“Well, you need to find a place to live.” Wang And said.
"You might as well buy a house here. I bought a house here. It's not expensive. I can stay here for two days when I have nothing to do and enjoy the quiet rural life."
“This is a good suggestion.”
In the capital, after learning that Lu Xiangyi had asked for leave, the relevant personnel immediately reported it.
“Asking for leave, for how long and why?”
“One month, the reason is personal leave.”
"What do you think?"
"Call and ask to see where he is now." Ren Shuangjia said, "Either he has some special action and is preparing to go on a long trip, or..."
“What is it?” The rich man looked at Ren Shuangjia, who was silent.
“Do you think it’s possible that he plans to practice martial arts with Wang An?”
“Practice martial arts, what can you accomplish in one month?”
“It’s hard to say, maybe it will be some kind of special training. Besides, he can continue to take leave after a month?”
In the mountain village, Lu Xiangyi didn't sleep well all night. He was a little excited thinking that Wang An would start combing his meridians and tendons and cleansing his marrow starting tomorrow. He was in a state of high spirits. He slept late and woke up. morning.
The next morning, Wang An began to sort out his meridians. The method and steps were exactly the same as when he combed Li Xinzhu's meridians last time. This time he was even more skillful.
The process of using Qi itself is also a kind of practice for him.
Wang An is sorting out his meridians here, while Li Xinzhu and Monkey continue to practice not far away. During this time, Wang An has made a practice plan for them, which is to become proficient in strength and exercise strength.
Two days later, in addition to daily combing the meridians, Lu Xiangyi also joined them in training, starting with the most practical battle.
“I’ll come!” Li Xinzhu said impatiently.
“Okay, come and collect some.”
“Okay!” Li Xinzhu was eager to give it a try.
“I practice Luohan Quan and Xingyi Quan. Please give me some advice.”
“I have practiced Bajiquan and Bagua Zhang, please give me some advice.”
The two people held each other's fists, and then opened their fists. Li Xinzhu didn't move, and neither did Lu Xiangyi. Wang An and Monkey just watched quietly.
Suddenly, Li Xinzhu moved and swooped out.
“So fast!” Lu Xiangyi’s eyes flashed, and he dodged without resisting. Unexpectedly, Li Xinzhu was extremely fast, and followed him in front of him, punching him with a punch.
Get close to the midfielder and hit him head-on.
Lu Xiangyi raised his arms to resist, and at the same time used his elbow to push hard, but the move was broken halfway. Li Xinzhu was fast enough and powerful enough to break the move directly.
“This guy is so powerful!” Lu Xiangyi thought to himself. He quickly changed his steps to those of Baguazhang, and his figure suddenly became much more flexible.
Li Xinzhu responded to the ever-changing situation by staying the same, walking in the mud and throwing punches, which made Lu Xiangyi unable to hold back at all.
“Hey, finally here comes someone who can fight!” Li Xinzhu thought to himself, not to mention how happy he was at this moment.
These days in this mountain village, he is in typical pain and happiness. Needless to say, Wang An can't be beaten. He can't beat the monkey either. The key is that the opponent is too dexterous. In terms of playing games, In other words, his agility attribute is much higher than his. If you can't catch up with the opponent, you won't be able to win.
Now it's better, now that I have someone I can beat, I can express my depression.
Lu Xiangyi originally practiced martial arts since he was a child. He also loved kung fu and studied with famous teachers since he was a child. However, in recent years, he has actually fallen behind.
Li Xinzhu is different. In the past two years, he has been practicing day and night, and with Wang An's guidance, his kung fu has improved by leaps and bounds. It is reasonable for Lu Xiangyi not to be able to beat him. It would be better if he could beat him. There's a problem.
The competition between two people actually does not take long.
“I didn’t expect that this person is actually a master!”
After a battle, Lu Xiangyi's attitude towards Li Xinzhu completely changed. He had known this person before and knew that he knew Kung Fu, but he didn't expect that he could practice Kung Fu to such a high level. He is a "master" now.
Li Xinzhu was in a good mood and directly made a reservation for a roasted whole lamb from the mutton restaurant in the town.
At the dinner table, Lu Xiangyi drank two glasses of wine with Li Xinzhu alone. After they were full, Lu Xiangyi visited Li Xinzhu alone.
"You are right to stay here." Li Xinzhu said after taking a sip of water. Since Wang An was willing to sort out Lu Xiangyi's meridians, he must be a trustworthy person, so Li Xinzhu started talking.
“Here you can not only change your tendons and cleanse your marrow, but you can also learn excellent kung fu. Of course, you may not have this ambition, but it is good to learn more.”
Lu Xiangyi stayed. Although he was tired every day, he enjoyed the food as much as he could. He could feel the changes in his body. It's just that every few days, there will be a call from the headquarters in Beijing asking where he is, which is even annoying.
In the capital city,
“Now it’s certain that he should be practicing with Wang An.”
"Practice? Hiss, well, I didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity!" The rich man took a deep breath. At this moment, he had some thoughts in his heart. One of them was whether he could ask about the content of Lu Xiangyi's practice at Wang An's place. Then carry out large-scale promotion.
While practicing in the mountains, Lu Xiangyi also witnessed Li Xinzhu beating Wang An with a stick.
"You two can also try it. This is a way to practice "Golden Bell", which can improve the body's ability to resist blows." Wang An suggested that two people also try it.
The two thought about it and decided to give it a try, but they couldn't directly hit their bodies with wooden sticks. They couldn't bear it. They first put a thicker cloth strip on the outside of the wooden stick, and then used a lighter force. He hit the body experimentally with force.
During this process, Wang An will also teach them his insights and experiences in the practice process. This is actually extremely difficult. Many people may be blocked by a layer of window paper-like obstacles in the process of practice. He has been unable to break through for a long time. If a famous teacher is there to give guidance, it may be just a matter of words, and he will instantly understand.
There are no armors in the mountains, and the years are unknown.
The time spent practicing in the mountains passed quickly, and a month passed quickly.
Wang An completed the exercise on Lu Xiangyi, and Lu Xiangyi was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to study with Wang An for a while. This opportunity is rare. Not only can he practice kung fu, but he can also improve them. The relationship between them can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The weather is gradually getting warmer and the trees in the mountains are sprouting buds one after another.
At noon on this day, after lunch, Lu Xiangyi received a call, and his face changed slightly. The call came from the capital, and it was from Xu Qi.
"Sir, there is news from the Immortal Valley. I will go back to the capital to have a look." Lu Xiangyi said.
"Okay, let me know once it's confirmed." Wang An also wanted to know who was plotting against him and wanted to meet the mastermind behind the incident in Beijing.
Lu Xiangyi left the mountain village and returned to the capital that day.
