Chapter 305: A mess
Xu Qi didn't know that using external stimulation to generate Qi was a tricky method and had hidden dangers. He also once wanted to cultivate Qi through his own efforts, but unfortunately, there was a big discrepancy between his idea and reality.
He couldn't find a secluded place like Wang An and Li Xinzhu and meditate every day. This may be his fate.
Just like a gentleman’s annotation on his birth date.
Horse-headed sword, powerful in the frontier.
Yima, the God of Cookery, and the wounded official are all born with a life of hard work, and do not distinguish between rich and poor. If you are happy, you will work hard and be successful, and your talents will appear. If you are taboo, you will work in vain and not take a moment's rest.
He doesn’t believe in fate, he just feels that there are certain things that should be done.
"This method is effective. You are just about done. You might as well live here for a while and turn the energy in your body into your own true energy." Wang An said.
"how long it takes?"
“With your temperament, it shouldn’t take long. You seem to be in a hurry?”
"It's something urgent." Xu Qi said, "Can you help me, sir?" he asked tentatively.
“You are always in such a hurry, for whom?”
Xu Qi just smiled.
“Follow me up the mountain.”
“Thank you sir.” Xu Qi’s eyes lit up and he followed Wang An up Dongshan.
When he came to Dongshan, Wang An asked him to sit cross-legged, then raised his hand, and a stream of true energy flew out of his hand, submerged into his body, and then entered his meridians, flowing rapidly in the meridians, It dredged the meridians and helped him repair some hidden injuries along the way.
During this process, he encountered the subtle energy in Xu Qi's body.
It was running around in Xu Qi's body uncontrollably. After hitting Wang An's true energy, it rushed over. The result was like running water hitting a diamond pillar. It dissipated all of a sudden and turned into some fine energy. He wanted to regain it. They gathered together, but were taken to different places by Wang An.
The speed of clearing Xu Qi's meridians this time was faster than that of other people's meridians in the past few times, because he is more skilled in controlling the Qi, and it is as simple as drinking water.
“Do you know how to practice Qigong?” Wang An asked Xu Qi after clearing the meridians.
Once you have developed true energy, you need corresponding methods to practice it.
“Know some Taoist breathing, breathing and transportation techniques.”
"That's good. If you practice according to the law in this mountain, you will gain something."
“Thank you sir.”
In the next few days, Xu Qi calmed down and continued to practice every day. Besides practicing, he would also exchange practice experiences with Wang An and Li Xinzhu.
“Lao Xu, you are really not simple. You can calm down and practice when you talk about practicing. Most people can’t do that.”
“Maybe it’s because I learned some Taoist meditation techniques, and I fell into tranquility faster. I’m very lucky to have my husband’s guidance, and Brother Li, you’re even more lucky to be able to practice with your husband,” Xu Qi said.
“Actually, you can do it too.”
“Me? I still have some things to do.”
On this day, the autumn rain continued and the weather was cool. In this autumn rain, Xu Qi cultivated his true energy, or in other words, he successfully refined the energy that existed in his body.
Although it can't be said to be a one-stop success, the changes in the body are still very obvious.
For him, this feeling was like climbing a mountain. At the beginning, the mountain road was curved and surrounded by mountains and forests, blocking his sight. After a lot of hard work, he finally reached the top of the mountain. Suddenly, he saw a clear view and a panoramic view of the scenery on all sides, which was breathtaking. Feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
He has been traveling frequently in the past few years, so he naturally does not have much time to practice. Sometimes he does not practice much for several months. Unexpectedly, by chance, he actually developed Zhenqi. Those who have been practicing for years are still struggling to figure it out.
This is luck.
When the time comes, heaven and earth all work together to transport heroes without freedom.
“Thank you, sir.” Xu Qi bowed to Wang An.
“Ready to leave?”
Hmm, Xu Qi nodded.
“Then go.”
Xu Qi didn't say much, but just kept this kindness in his heart. He owed Wang An a lot.
He left the mountain village before the drizzle stopped.
“I don’t understand, why is he so busy?” Li Xinzhu said, looking at Xu Qi’s leaving figure.
“You can’t guess what some people think.” Wang An said with a smile.
“Why do you want to help him?”
“I think the other person is pretty good, and I want to help him, but it’s just a casual thing, just do whatever you want.”
“Well, that’s the reason.” Li Xinzhu gave him a thumbs up.
Time passed slowly, and three months after he had developed the true qi, Wang An gave Li Xinzhu a quarter of a "Qi Yi Dan".
After taking the elixir, Wang An stayed by Li Xinzhu's side to protect him.
The power of the elixir caused heat to rise from the top of Li Xinzhu's head, and his body kept trembling. He felt that the energy in his meridians suddenly surged a lot, and he kept urging them to circulate, trying to Guide them into Qihai Dantian.
He sat there for three days. Three days later, I opened my eyes and swayed a few times, feeling as if I was drunk.
"How does it feel?"
“Well, I’m in a panic.” Li Xinzhu said matter-of-factly.
“It’s estimated that it will take some time for you to fully refine the power of this medicine, so practice hard these days.”
In the southwest, in the base outside the crack, the relevant personnel have been very nervous in recent months. The two missing people have never been found, but they got some information from the person who was captured alive.
The second team they sent over was discovered not long after entering the other world, and then was encircled and suppressed by one force. Many people were killed, injured, and some were captured alive. After some interrogation, The people who were captured alive told some information from their side.
So the people from that world decided to send someone over to take a look after some thinking.
Those four people are the first wave. They are here to fight in the front line. Each of them has unique skills. Then there may be other people entering this world.
"That's it if they die. If the two of them are still alive, they will definitely find a way to go back there and bring the information they have learned from here. If they want to go back, they have only one way, which is to go back through this A crack."
After coming to this conclusion, the person in charge of the base issued an order to strengthen the level of guards, with three layers inside and three layers outside. They must guard this place.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, winter is coming.
On this day, the alarms around the crack sounded again. After a moment, something dark flew out from the crack.
"what?"
“It’s a bird, a group of strange birds?”
In the distance, a man was wearing a camouflage uniform, carrying a long and narrow package, and observing the base with a telescope in his hand.
With a click, the self-controlled artillery in the base spit out fire snakes, and the strange birds that flew out of the cracks were quickly knocked to the ground.
"That's it?!"
“I’m afraid this is just the beginning.”
To their surprise, after these strange birds flew out, there was no movement in the crack.
“What is this, an accident?”
"Accident?"
Soon, soldiers wearing protective clothing took samples of the strange bird that looked like a crow but was more ferocious than a crow and sent it to the research institute.
“This strange bird’s body contains a terrible microorganism.”
After some tests, they detected an unknown microorganism in this strange bird. After testing, it was found that this microorganism is extremely contagious and can spread in the air.
After receiving the news, the base immediately sterilized the area where the strange birds fell. After sterilizing a large area and multiple times with disinfectants, they burned all the corpses of the strange birds.
"Are you well prepared?" The man hiding in the distance looked at everything happening in the base through the telescope.
In the dead of night, the searchlights in the base were shining in the direction of the crack. Dozens of high-definition cameras and several sets of radars were pointed directly at the crack. Even if a sparrow flew out from inside, they would detect it immediately.
On the third day after the strange bird appeared, two soldiers had an inexplicable high fever. After examination, an unknown virus was found on them. Soon the two soldiers fell into a coma and their body organs failed.
Then the third and fourth followed. The reason could not be found, and an inexplicable panic enveloped the base for a while.
“Isn’t it because of that strange bird?”
“We have not found this virus in that strange bird, and this virus is not contagious for the time being.”
“What could be causing that?”
They immediately organized personnel to conduct a carpet-like search and combing of the entire base. During their search, three more soldiers fell. Finally, they found two small bugs in a corner of the base dormitory. They were smaller than bees and were all black.
After analysis, it was found that the virus infected by the soldiers came from this insect.
“Insects, where did they come from? Did they come in through that crack?”
After all the houses in the base were treated with insecticides, there were no more cases of soldier poisoning in a short period of time. However, three of the previously poisoned soldiers could not hold on and sacrificed their lives, and the remaining two were also in danger.
After a few days of calm, that kind of bug appeared again in the base. The person in charge here once again arranged for people to conduct a thorough disinfection of the entire base.
On this day, the sky was clear, and suddenly a siren sounded loudly, and then something flew out of the crack. The radar-scanning gun fires automatically.
Bang, bang, bang, something exploded in mid-air, and then black and gray smoke came out, which was immediately dispersed by the wind.
Hush, huff, several fire snakes spurted out, burning the smoke in the air. Everyone in the base put on protective clothing.
At the critical moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred somewhere in the base. Fire shot into the sky and the earth shook.
"what happened?"
“There was an explosion in the No. 3 ammunition depot, and someone broke in from the outside!”
"What?"
The sudden explosion of the ammunition depot caused panic in the base. Then several black shadows rushed out from the cracks. Suddenly sirens sounded loudly, and self-propelled artillery and missiles launched attacks instantly.
From a distance, this place looks very lively.
The fierce battle did not last particularly long. Some intruders were killed on the spot, while others broke out of the blockade and were closely pursued by the encirclement and suppression troops.
Amidst the chaos, a man wearing the uniform of a base soldier jumped into the crack while cleaning up the battlefield.
“Someone jumped into the crack.”
“Who it is, confirm the identity immediately.”
One day later, a terrible infectious disease appeared in the base. The sick people had high fever, vomiting, and were covered in black and blue. Similar symptoms also appeared in a mountain village a hundred kilometers away from the base.
Three days later, the terrible disease spread to a nearby county.
Five days later, the disease appeared in Shu County in southwest China.
After testing, it was found that it was a bacterium similar to the plague. But the specific medicines used to treat plague had little effect on this bacterium.
This event shocked the empire.
“I have long said that the passage should be closed, but now it’s fine, it’s going to cause big trouble!”
“The first task now is to find the intruders. They brought this infectious disease, but they are not sick themselves, which means they may have the antidote on them.”
“Our people are looking for us. It’s so easy to find someone in such a huge sea of people, let alone someone who knows magic.”
“Special forces can be dispatched.”
“Already dispatched.”
“They are also human beings, and they need to rest, sleep, and eat.”
“That’s not easy. How can I find it by just hiding in a deep mountain forest?”
The chaotic meeting lasted for some time.
In an office, Fu Xicheng held a cigarette in his hand. Ren Shuangjia sat opposite him, holding a cup of tea in his hand.
“What do you think?”
“They must have some purpose for coming here.” Ren Shuangjia said.
"Assuming that they were in the same group as the first four people, and those four people did not go back, they were the second group of people who came over, just like the second group of people we sent over. The release of bacteria along the way may be due to a A test to see how resistant our people are to this bacteria. It may also be simply to distract us."
“How to find them?”
"It's difficult. They are not from this world. They have no fixed foothold and no relatives here. They come here just for reconnaissance. They can go as far as they can. Ordinary people are not necessarily easy to find, not to mention they are still here. He has a lot of skills."
“Oh, what a troublesome thing!” Fu Xicheng took a deep breath.
“I think there may be trouble ahead.”
“Talk about it.”
"The person who comes first will usually not be the worst, but he will not be the best either. These people have caused such a big mess. What if a few more powerful ones come, what if a few kings come here? Who is someone like An, or someone even more powerful than him?"
“More powerful than him? How can you be like that?!”
"A person who has lived for hundreds of years and practiced for hundreds of years can turn a pig into a spirit, let alone a person, such as the person who broke the mountain with one sword."
Hissing, Fu Xicheng leaned back on his chair and took a deep breath of cigarette.
“In fact, we can consider closing it.”
“It can’t be turned off anymore.” Fu Xicheng sighed.
"Why?"
