Chapter 36 Martial Arts Wizard
Early the next morning, Zhou Yanan brought over all the things Xu Heng wanted to exchange.
Two candles and 600 grams of glutinous rice.
One candle costs almost 50 million and uses 25 pieces of yellow paper.
The other candle used up the remaining five pieces of yellow paper and two incense sticks.
The last half of the incense was converted into 12 million, which was exchanged for 600 grams of glutinous rice.
Since the last time he bought 200 grams of glutinous rice and cooked it into glutinous rice for consumption, Xu Heng has no longer felt the cold backlash.
But yesterday he breathed in six Xiaohan solar terms suddenly, and he vaguely felt that the cold air was showing signs of recovery.
As a result, when I woke up early this morning, my legs really felt a little sore.
Fire goes up, cold goes down.
If you don't pay attention to this, it will be Laohan Legs at the least, and Lao Hankun at the worst.
Fortunately, now that I have these 600 grams of glutinous rice, I should be able to enjoy the Xiaohan solar terms a few more times.
“Okay, the deal is done, I feel like I don’t owe you anymore, don’t come to me for this kind of thing in the future.” Zhou Yanan looked like she hadn’t woken up and yawned.
Xu Heng was a little surprised. He seemed to have never seen Zhou Yanan looking so listless. It seemed that he had been running around a lot last night in order to redeem this thing.
He knew that these things were obviously of equal value, but when it came to exchanging them, it was often not that smooth, especially in a small place like Darong City, where it would be even more difficult.
“I understand, I understand. I cannot thank you enough. I will keep it in my heart. I will treat you to dinner another day when I have the opportunity.” Xu Heng took everything with a smile.
“Haha!” Zhou Yanan forced out a fake smile, then rolled her eyes, turned around and left.
You dog man, you want to treat me to a meal but you still have to come back the next time you have a chance?
Do you think I would be surprised?
But then again, what on earth is this guy doing to exchange so many candles?
Zhou Yanan turned around and took a look suspiciously, but Xu Heng had already entered the house and disappeared.
“Heh, man.”
She gritted her teeth and cursed secretly, then walked away with her long legs. The footsteps of her short boots on the ground were particularly loud.
…
At the same time, Xu Heng had already closed the doors and windows of his home, holding three candles as if he had found a treasure.
I was worried about candles last night, but I didn’t expect that I would solve them all today.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was not a loss after being knocked unconscious by Zhou Yanan.
From that point on, not only was the suspicion completely cleared, but he also received a candle as compensation, and indirectly solved the Lin family.
There was also the pollution caused by the last Qingming Festival, which also yielded huge gains.
Wait a minute, based on this inference, it seems that Zhou Yanan is not a trouble, but is actually my lucky general?
Could it be that this woman has the appearance of a prosperous husband?
Although I am not her husband, I can still be favored. This shows that this woman is so frightened. I don’t know what big grievance she will have in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Heng suddenly frowned again and shook his head:
“Tsk, it still doesn’t work. Although I tried my best to conquer it myself and tried to brainwash her into knocking me out, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
"But even so, I didn't take revenge on her. It shows that I can support a boat and am a magnanimous person."
Xu Heng sighed with emotion, looked at the three candles in his hand again, and smiled again on his face.
Three candles, equivalent to the fifteen candles used before, can allow you to absorb at least ninety Xiaohan solar terms.
In this way, it will definitely be no problem to sprint to the tenth level of Jianqi before the college entrance examination, and you don’t even have to worry about practicing in the second half of the year.
“Tsk, tsk, three candles worth 150 million...Eh? 150 million?”
Xu Heng suddenly realized that this would cost 150 million?
When did I, Xu Heng, become so prodigal?
And why don’t you feel any pain at all when you spend it?
Understood.
As expected, it is only through hard work and hard-earned hard-earned money that I can spend it with such peace of mind.
“Crack!”
He picked up the lighter and lit the first candle.
There seems to be no difference between the intact candle and the previously used candles.
The moment the candlelight lit up, Xu Heng once again entered the state of looking inside his mind.
The dim seven-star Beidou was replenished with energy again, and the seven stars lit up one after another.
Xu Heng was not in a hurry to absorb the Xiaohan solar terms this time, and kept focusing on Beidou.
After all seven stars lit up, Beidou became completely bright, blooming with blazing silvery white light.
But the candle has only burned one-fifth, and the candlelight has not been extinguished.
Xu Heng is also waiting for this moment. He wants to see what will happen if he continues to supplement the Seven Star Beidou.
However, under the candlelight, the Beidou only became more brilliant.
Xu Heng could also clearly feel that it was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing the energy of the candlelight and storing the energy.
Even until a whole candle burns to ashes, Beidou still maintains its dazzling appearance.
Xu Heng opened his eyes, looked at the remaining two candles, and lit them without hesitation.
Boom!
Two candlelights lit up, and Xu Heng's consciousness was pulled into his mind again.
This time, he found that Beidou seemed a little different.
As the energy of the candlelight continued to be replenished, after the first star was extremely bright, it gradually began to be covered with a faint golden light.
At this moment, the two candles were suddenly accelerated to burn.
Like a cigarette being inhaled by a person with huge lung capacity, the two candles melted from top to bottom at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.
“Ah hoo!”
Xu Heng took a deep breath suddenly, like a drowning man emerging from the water and breathing in fresh air.
"What's going on? Then Beidou...could it really be a star?"
He couldn't believe it. After absorbing the energy of the two candles, the first starlight lit up with a golden light.
The result is like turning on some kind of switch, and suddenly there is a feeling of getting bigger.
Even though it was just a feeling, Xu Heng clearly noticed that it had become heavier, releasing a gravity field that almost crushed his consciousness to pieces.
“Good boy, if there were more candles, wouldn’t my consciousness be destroyed?”
Xu Heng was frightened for a while. If his consciousness was crushed, he would probably become a vegetative state.
Obviously, the energy of Beidou cannot be replenished too easily. It must be replenished and consumed step by step.
“Xu Heng, come over quickly for dinner.”
“Okay, dad, come right away.”
Xu Heng quickly stood up from the sofa and walked quickly to the restaurant.
Three candles burned too fast, absorbing all the energy, and it was just lunch time. Lao Xu cooked another tableful of food and was already sitting at the dining table eating.
“Why is this dish so rich today? Is it to celebrate my success in seasonal cultivation?” Xu Heng asked with a proud smile.
He feels that this year's college entrance examination is absolutely foolproof, and Darong City's seasonal champion is within reach.
"You are still in the mood to be here, don't forget that you have just established your Qi realm, and you are already being bitten by the cold air. What will you do in the future?" Lao Xu frowned.
"It's okay. At worst, I can eat more glutinous rice and Laba porridge or something. I don't believe I can't suppress the cold."
"That's only effective in the first few stages. The further you go, the harder it will be to suppress it." Lao Xu shook his head, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, pondered for a moment, and then said: "How about you continue to practice martial arts? "
“Huh?” Xu Heng was stunned for a moment.
Practice your martial arts back?
He remembered what his senior sister said, you can only choose one or the other between martial arts and festivals, otherwise there will be a huge conflict when both become stronger at the same time.
Xu Heng expressed this question.
Lao Xu nodded unequivocally: "Your senior sister is right. If ordinary people practice martial arts and solar terms at the same time, it will cause conflicts between internal energy and solar terms, but you are different."
“What’s different?” Xu Heng was stunned.
“You are not an ordinary person!” Lao Xu said with a matter-of-fact expression.
“???” Xu Heng was stunned for a moment. What does it mean that I am not an ordinary person?
“You have had wonderful bones since you were a child, and you are a unique martial arts prodigy. As long as you train your body to a certain strength, you will naturally not be afraid of the conflict between the internal energy and the solar terms.”
Lao Xu made a surprising statement and told a theory.
Although internal qi and solar terms may conflict, the meridians may be unable to withstand them and cause trauma.
But if the body is strong enough, there is nothing to fear.
Xu Heng was shocked after hearing this: "Dad, do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool?"
"You're lying. What I'm telling you is the truth. If you don't believe it, you can try it. Anyway, your two meridians have recovered. You will understand if you can try it and see if you can break through." After Xu Hanshan finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks again. He started eating on his own.
Xu Heng repeatedly waved his hands to express his refusal: "I don't want to try it randomly. Anyway, my Xiaohan Festival is already strong enough. If something goes wrong, I will cry to death."
“Oh, I’m so cowardly. You haven’t learned anything about my masculinity from Xu Hanshan. Your senior sister is like me. She has already listened to my words and practiced martial arts and discipline together.” Old Xu said with disgust on his face.
“What?” Xu Heng’s eyes suddenly widened: “Senior sister, is she a fellow practitioner of martial arts and martial arts?”
"Yes, she has been a fellow practitioner since she awakened to the festival. Didn't she tell you?" Xu Hanshan looked at Xu Heng blankly.
"Dad, you are... wrong. My senior sister told me that I can no longer be a fellow practitioner. How could she still be a fellow practitioner?" Xu Heng suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"That's because she underestimated you and didn't know your potential. I just told you that you are different. You are not an ordinary person." Lao Xu said very solemnly.
“Real or false?” Xu Heng was a little shaken.
“When have I ever lied to you? You will know after you try it. Open the seventh channel first.”
“Do you really want to try?”
“Try it, you had the ability to open the seventh meridians before, and now that the meridians have been repaired, why not try it and see what changes will happen to your body after opening the seven meridians.”
…”
Xu Heng fell silent helplessly. Looking at Lao Xu's encouraging eyes, he finally nodded: "Okay, just give it a try."
He stood up and walked to an open space in the living room, shook his arms, stretched his muscles, and then stood up.
“Hoo!”
After exhaling slowly, Xu Heng's arm punched forward in an instant. As his feet quickly followed up, the second punch had already arrived.
The first stage of a warrior is to rely on martial arts to open up the eight meridians.
At first, he used the "Xu Family Arm King Fist" taught by Lao Xu to open up the six meridians. Now, he must use this set of boxing techniques to open up the seventh meridians.
咻! call out! call out!
Xu Heng’s punches became faster and faster, causing bursts of wind whenever his fists hit.
Until the sixth punch is completed and another punch is thrown.
There was a "pop" sound, and the muscles and bones in the body seemed to make a crisp sound like fried beans bursting.
The muscles and bones all over the body seemed to be stretched out in an instant, and an invisible force suddenly surged from the Dantian, penetrated one of the previously broken meridians, and transmitted the power to the fist unimpeded.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound in the air.
This punch successfully stimulated the internal energy, which meant that the seventh meridians were also opened.
“It’s done?” Lao Xu was sitting in the restaurant and looked at him approvingly.
“It’s done.” Xu Heng nodded.
“How do you feel?”
“The coldness in my legs is really gone, and...those Xiaohan solar terms don’t seem to be affected either.” Xu Heng was a little surprised that it actually worked.
“So magical?” Lao Xu also asked in surprise.
???”
Xu Heng's eyes widened immediately, "No, Dad, what do you mean by that? Isn't this something you expected?"
“I thought you had to open at least the eighth meridian to have this effect. It seems that you are very suitable for this path. Come on, keep up your efforts and work towards opening the eighth meridian.” Old Xu said with a smile.
"I have just opened the seventh meridian. How could I open the eighth meridian so quickly? Moreover, the senior sister at the school only asked for a month's leave for me. I have to go back and report quickly." Xu Heng said angrily.
“What are you afraid of? It’s just truancy. Come on, continue to open the eighth channel. Otherwise, if you absorb the Xiaohan solar term in the future, big problems will definitely occur.”
“Okay.”
…
At the same time, the Inspection Department.
Zhou Yanan is resting on her desk.
Suddenly, a hurried call woke her up.
She sat up quickly, frowned, and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
“Hey, Captain Zhou, something happened. Xu Heng and his friends came to his house to look for him, and they found the boy fainted at home.”
“What? Who did it?” Zhou Yanan stood up immediately.
"Team Zhou, we have been guarding outside. Before Tang Hou went to find him, no one else had entered his house, and there were no signs of fighting...Huh? Wait, what's going on, that chair..."
There was a sudden commotion on the phone.
Then the member of the inspection department shouted: "Team Zhou, come here quickly, something is wrong at his house, the dining table and chairs suddenly moved on their own."
