Chapter 54 Exhale and turn into a snake
Wang An drove to the alley entrance of Zhang Huajie's home, where she and her parents were already waiting.
Hello to her parents, get out of the car and help load the luggage into the car. Zhang Huajie sat in the passenger seat.
The car started, and Wang An saw two old men still standing on the road looking at his car.
“Go back, grandma, grandpa.” He lowered the window and shouted behind him. The two old men waved to him, but still did not go back.
Wang An sighed slightly, increased the accelerator slightly, picked up the speed of the car, and drove away from the mountain village.
There are still a few shriveled persimmons on the persimmon tree at the entrance of the village.
Wang An was driving and staring ahead. Zhang Huajie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look out the window. There was no nostalgia or reluctance on her face. She was thinking more about the prosperity of the metropolis.
There is a river beside the road, flowing quietly and running into the distance.
The car was relatively quiet, and Wang An could clearly hear the other party's breathing.
“Her breathing rate is about twenty times a minute, twice as much as mine.” This was what Wang An was thinking at this time. If he said it out loud, he would probably be shocked by the girl next to him.
A man and a woman alone are sitting in a car, what kind of brain circuit would pay attention to this kind of thing?
“Do you have any plans for the future?” Zhang Huajie broke the silence.
“Plan?” Wang An was silent for a while.
His short-term plan is to exercise strength and complete the task of punching a thousand kilograms.
The longer-term plan is to complete the other two tasks, go to Taihe Mountain and Zhongyue to see the holy places of Taoism and Zen, and see Taoist Kung Fu and Buddhist martial arts. Take the opportunity to study the legendary inner strength and true energy.
But these plans must not be told to Zhang Huajie. If he did, it would be hilarious and he would be regarded as a middle-class young man.
“Plan, do something you want to do, and look around if you have the chance.”
“What do you want to do, what do you want to do?” Zhang Huajie stared at Wang An curiously.
“Be free and travel to the ends of the world with your sword.” Wang An said half-jokingly.
“Look at the prosperity of the world.” Zhang Huajie answered with a smile.
“Yes.” Wang An nodded.
“That’s the dream of so many people!” Zhang Hua lamented, “It’s a pity that too many people are suffocated by the shackles of reality.”
Wang An smiled and said nothing. He had also trudged hard with shackles on him.
After the cars hit the road, there were more and more cars on both sides. Many people chose to go back to their hometowns and places of work today to start the new year of hard work and busyness. It is possible that they will go there for a whole year.
We set off from the mountain village in the morning and arrived in Hu'an City in the afternoon.
“It’s already past noon, how about we find a place to eat first?”
“Okay, it’s just a treat.” Zhang Huajie readily agreed.
The two chose a restaurant that was relatively close to Zhang Huajie's school and ordered a few dishes. They got along first and the relationship between the two became much more harmonious.
Wang An was less than three-thirds full after eating this meal, mainly because he was embarrassed to eat in front of a girl's family. During this period, Wang An used the excuse of going to the bathroom to settle the bill in advance.
“I’ve agreed to treat you.” Zhang Huajie pouted when paying the bill.
"Next time." Wang An smiled, and after sending Zhang Huajie back to his residence, he found a restaurant and had a second meal, this time he was eight cents full.
In the yard, the cold wind kept blowing, sometimes getting louder and sometimes getting softer.
Wang An felt the wind blowing through his palms while practicing boxing. His hands seemed to be moving with the wind.
He thought of a saying, Tai Chi is impossible, but movement is the law.
Let go of his body, and the strands of strength in his body are transmitted and gathered along the bones and muscles. In this way, he keeps practicing in the yard, in the cold wind, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly.
“You practiced Tai Chi in the cold wind and gained some insights. Tai Chi experience +30.”
After Wang An finished the exercise, he took a long breath, and a stream of white air came out of his mouth, like a thin snake.
At this moment, the cold wind also stopped for a moment, and the white air floated out for nearly two meters before dissipating.
After practicing the exercises, I returned home and just sat down. Before I picked up the water glass and drank the water, the phone on the table rang. The caller was Li Xinzhu.
“Hey, when will you come back?”
Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone spoke weakly, giving the impression that he had clicked on seven princesses at once and went crazy all night.
"I'm back. What's wrong with you? You're weak in speech. Did you have too much fun last night?"
“It’s great to come back. Please do me a favor and sleep with me tonight!”
"Mr. Li, please respect yourself!" Wang An got goosebumps after hearing Li Xinzhu's words.
"Brother, as soon as I fall asleep now, I will immediately see that fierce ghost staring at me with a pair of **** eyes, opening his **** mouth and trying to eat me. I don't dare to sleep at all!" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone almost cried. .
"But even if I accompany you, I can't help you get rid of your inner demons!" Wang An said after hearing this, it's really hard for outsiders to help in this matter, the key is to rely on yourself.
“You wait at home, I’ll go find you!”
In less than half an hour, Li Xinzhu arrived at Wang An's home.
Good guy! Wang An was also shocked when he saw Li Xinzhu's appearance.
Dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, and his face was thinner. Compared with the last time we met, he looked like a different person.
“Brother, I’ve finally seen you!” Li Xinzhu’s eyes were filled with tears.
“I think you should go to the hospital and see a doctor now. You are in worse shape than I was a few months ago.”
Wang An really didn’t expect that painting to cause so much trouble to Li Xinzhu.
"I went there and gave me some sedative and sleeping medicine. After taking it, it didn't help. I still dream about it! I went to Songlin Temple the day before yesterday. I was ready to become a monk there. I stayed there for two consecutive nights, but nothing happened. If you use it, you will still dream about the evil ghost."
Li Xinzhu let out a long sigh as he spoke.
“I just came here to ask, how do you practice the visualization method you mentioned?”
Now Li Xinzhu is in a typical state of "seeking medical treatment when sick". He has no choice. The feeling of being unable to sleep is too painful. If this continues, he feels that he will really go crazy like Monk Hong'an said.
“I really can’t say this. First, I have to find something that meets the conditions.”
“What?” Li Xinzhu asked hurriedly.
“You saw the ghost through the painting, which aroused the deepest fear in your heart, and you fell into a vicious cycle of thinking more and more about it, and becoming more and more afraid and thinking about it.
Then you need to find another painting to arouse the fighting spirit and belief deep in your heart and help you defeat your inner demons. "
“What kind of painting?”
“Well, it’s hard to say, I need to see it to know.”
