Chapter 44: Watching Yaksha in dim light
"You are looking for death!" Hu Cunyi's eyes were blood red, like a wounded beast, he rushed towards Wang An, ran a few steps, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.
The severe pain in his abdomen made him lose the strength to move forward.
"Fuck! One less, one more to go!" He gritted his teeth and held the knife in his hand tightly, his body trembling.
Very unwillingly, he fell to the ground.
"What's going on? Passed out?" Li Xinzhu ran over and looked at Hu Cunyi on the ground.
Just as he was about to walk over to see what was going on, Wang An hurriedly pushed him away, and then he saw a blade of light slanting upwards, slashing across his arm.
Wang An took advantage of the opportunity to grab his arm, put a palm on his elbow and lifted it. Remove his arm with a click.
Ah, a scream.
With a clang, the knife fell to the ground.
“You have just subdued a criminal after a short battle, and your Tai Chi experience +5.”
The experience he gained from the brief confrontation was worth practicing Tai Chi several times.
“Holy shit!” Li Xinzhu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. When he came to his senses, he rushed forward and kicked Hu Cunyi.
“What the hell!”
"Let me go, half a million yuan belongs to you. Let me go, and I have to kill one person. That person deserves to die the most. I can't let him live and continue to harm others!"
Hu Cunyi kept mumbling.
“It’s not enough to kill people and wipe out the whole family. You want to kill them again. Are you crazy?”
Li Xinzhu pulled the backpack off his back and opened it. Inside was a plastic bag and several books. When he opened the plastic bag, he found a bag of money in a pile.
Li Xinzhu was stunned immediately.
“It’s really money!” Li Xinzhu raised his head and glanced at Wang An, as if asking for his opinion.
Wang An glanced at the money, stretched out his hand and took out the tattered books, and walked to the side of the street lamp.
One book has two words "Recipe" written on it, one is called "Supplements of Hundreds of Herbs", there is also a "Compendium of Materia Medica" and a "Thousand Gold Prescriptions", all of which seem to be related to traditional Chinese medicine.
“Ah, is this guy still a Chinese medicine doctor?” Li Xinzhu looked at the books and said with a smile.
"I have heard of both "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions", but not these two books." Wang An looked at "Recipes" and "Supplements of Hundreds of Herbs".
These two books look a bit older, they must be a few years old.
“What the **** is this?” Li Xinzhu picked up the scroll in his backpack and unfolded a painting in front of the two people.
In the painting, a ferocious-looking ghost is eating a person. The person is struggling and his face is in pain. The painting is bloody, ghastly, and very lifelike. There are a few lines of ancient calligraphy on the side.
Under the dim light, the evil ghost seemed to be running out of the painting.
Woo, a gust of cold wind blew by, whimpering like a ghost crying.
The painting started to float in the wind.
“Damn it, who is so lazy to draw such a thing? I feel like this ghost is going to come out of the painting, put it away quickly, this thing is so scary!”
Li Xinzhu shivered and hurriedly rolled up the scroll and put it into his bag.
Turning back to look at Hu Cunyi, I saw him looking at me with a grin on his face. Under the dim light, his mouth was full of blood, and his expression was strange. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and looking like crying but not crying.
“You also saw it, he will come to you, hehe.”
"What did you say? Who came to us?" Li Xinzhu asked subconsciously.
Hu Cunyi didn't say anything, he just smiled, a weird smile.
“You have just viewed a strange ancient painting, and your mind has been affected.”
Another prompt appears.
“My mind has been affected. What’s going on? Why don’t I feel anything obvious?”
“Why, do you still want to see this painting?”
Wang An shook his head, "There may be something wrong with this painting."
“Problem, what problem?”
“I don’t know, I just feel something is wrong. Please call the police to report it.”
“What about the money?” Li Xinzhu pointed to the money in the bag.
"You take it, I won't tell you, hehe." Hu Cunyi was still laughing.
"Two hundred thousand, that's enough. We can't take the money," Wang And said.
“This is half a million!”
“Well, let’s call.” Wang An said calmly, as if it was not five hundred thousand, but fifty yuan.
He clearly distinguishes what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken.
“You’re not moved?”
“You should think carefully about how to deal with the people from the Guard Bureau later, right?”
The two people summed up their rhetoric again, and Li Xinzhu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet to call and report the case. .
Less than fifteen minutes, Wang An heard the sound of police sirens.
Once I heard that the wanted criminal had been caught, the people from the security bureau came very quickly.
“Yes, it’s Hu Cunyi, we finally caught this guy!” People from the Security Bureau confirmed the true identity of the trafficker on the spot.
This guy has been making them nervous these days, for fear that he will cause some trouble again.
After all, this was a serious criminal who killed a family of six, and he was extremely vicious.
The prisoner was taken away, and Wang An and Li Xinzhu were also taken to the security bureau for questioning.
The two of them were questioned separately. Wang An followed the pre-arranged argument with Li Xinzhu that he went there for the reward of the wanted order. As for the source of the information, he did not know the source of the information and blamed it on Li Xinzhu.
They stayed in the guard station for more than an hour before they came out.
“Fifty million, half a million!” Li Xinzhu kept sighing along the way.
“When will the bonus arrive?”
“Within a week, it will be approved before the year is over. Let’s go, I’ll take you back.” Li Xinzhu drove Wang An back to his residence.
At this time it was already a bit late. Wang An did not rest immediately, but practiced Tai Chi in the yard.
There is a saying in Tai Chi Step that the movement is like spinning threads and the steps are like a cat.
It looks very slow, one link after another, but once you become proficient, it can be very fast.
Just like a cat, it usually walks slowly and leisurely, but when it gets up quickly, it can catch even low-altitude birds.
Wang An can now go very fast. This kind of speed can go straight forward, or he can draw arcs and circles.
He was fast enough tonight. He practiced it dozens of times in the yard, but he could never find the feeling he had when dealing with Hu Cunyi just now.
“Forget it, that’s it for today!”
Wash, wash his feet, and go to bed. Before going to bed, he also recited the Tao Te Ching twice.
Many people say that this scripture contains the Tao of Tai Chi. If one can understand the principles, even just a little bit, it will be of great benefit to the practice of Tai Chi.
So he would take time to read it several times a day.
“You have read the Tao Te Ching twice, and its meaning will become apparent after reading it a hundred times. How can it be that easy?”
A tip.
“Is this a reminder to dampen my enthusiasm?” Wang An smiled.
That night, Wang An vaguely saw a vague figure in his sleep. It was very tall and could not be clearly seen.
Seems to be looking at himself.
