Chapter 213: Coming from a thousand miles away to tell a story
I don’t know them, so I haven’t seen them.” Wang An said with a smile.
"Then how did they find out about you and come all this way?"
"I don't know. Besides, if you are sick, you have to go to the hospital. There are so many big hospitals in Beijing. The idea of not asking a doctor to come to me is inherently problematic."
"What you say makes sense. Aren't the best hospitals and doctors in the capital? It's not easy for people from small places like us to go to the capital to see a doctor! I heard that Maoshun's family in the village went to the capital a week in advance to see a doctor.
I’ve been waiting for several days to get in line.”
"You just need to rest. I'll make dinner. I bought my grandpa's favorite fish?" "Okay."
In the evening, the family gathered together happily.
In the next ten days or so, two more people came to Wang An's hometown. Coincidentally, he was not at home, so the old man gave the two people the answers he had given him in advance.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Wang An practiced on Yuxiao Mountain almost all day long, and his own Qi became more and more pure and concise.
"It's almost time to continue refining Qi Pills." The refining speed of Qi was much faster than he thought.
Just when he was about to continue refining the "Qi Yi Dan", someone else came up the mountain.
On this day, snowflakes were still floating in the sky, and they had been falling non-stop since early morning. In such weather, someone actually went up the mountain. He was a stranger when he arrived. He was in his forties, with an ordinary appearance and a turban on his body.
It has a strong bookish flavor.
The man was stopped by the monkey before he even got close to the wooden house. He looked at the monkey wearing a down jacket and vest.
"My wisdom has been awakened. Hello, I'm here to visit Mr. Wang An. Please let me know." This man was also very polite to the monkey. He didn't despise it just because it was a monkey. He seemed to regard it as a monkey.
people.
The monkey waved his hand towards him, beckoning him to leave.
"Isn't he in the house?" The man raised his head and glanced at the wooden house in front of him with closed doors and windows.
He first visited Wang An's hometown and found that the other party was not there. Then he came to the mountain and spent a lot of effort to find it. This place was indeed difficult to find, and the road up the mountain was very bumpy.
The monkey just waved him away.
"If he went to the mountains, I can wait here." The visitor said with a smile.
The monkey's expression changed.
"Huh?" The man was slightly startled when he saw this. The monkey in front of him felt like a beast preparing to protect its territory and fight against intruders.
The next moment, the monkey suddenly took action, raising his hand with a palm, very fast.
The middle-aged man hurriedly dodged, raised his legs and circled around. The monkey followed him closely and struck him with another palm. He hurriedly raised his hands to stop it. The force coming from him almost made him unable to withstand it. He hurriedly used his footsteps and body skills to resolve the force.
.
"This is the Great Vajra Palm of Faxing Temple!" the man said in surprise.
After a few moves, the look of shock on the face of the man in front of me became more and more serious.
What a joke, a monkey actually used the secret skill of Faxing Temple, and it was so skillful and so powerful, it already has some artistic conception.
Even in Faxing Temple, there are probably only a few people who can practice this palm technique so well?
If a monkey is so good, wouldn't the person who teaches it be even more powerful?
The man didn't dare to stand up, so he started fighting with the monkey using Kung Fu. His palms were like knives, and his body was like a swimming dragon. He used the Kung Fu of Wandering Baguazhang.
However, humans are naturally not as agile as monkeys, not to mention that the monkey often sparred with Wang An in his free time. In just a moment, one person and one monkey were intertwined. The man's ribs were exposed and he was slapped by the monkey and immediately kicked away.
A few steps.
"Good palm skills!" Although he lost to the monkey, the man's eyes were filled with excitement.
The monkey stopped and turned to look into the forest. In the wind and snow, a man walked down the mountain. It was Wang An who went to the top of the mountain to watch the snow.
"You must be Mr. Wang An?" When the man saw Wang An coming down, he kept staring at Wang An. "I'm looking at Nanpo, especially.
Come and meet sir."
Wang An stared at Gu Nanpo for two or three seconds. "What are you doing with me on this windy and snowy day?"
"Someone wants to be harmful to you, sir. I'm here to tell you." Gu Nanpo said. "Who is going to be harmful to me?"
"The Zheng family in the capital." Gu Nanpo said four words.
They? Wang An nodded slightly, he had expected it, but a stranger coming here to talk to him about this matter surprised him.
"How did you find out about this place?"
"I don't mean any harm, I just heard that my husband's amazing cultivation skills are very admirable, and I don't want to see such an amazing and talented person being harmed by villains." Gu Nanpo said.
"Thank you, wait a moment." Wang An entered the room, took out a bag and handed it to Gu Nanpo. "The sauced beef I made tastes pretty good. Take it back and try it."
"This?" Gu Nanpo was stunned and immediately raised his hand to take it, "Thank you sir." "Sir, can you listen to me tell you an old story?" Gu Nanpo did not leave in a hurry. "Please." Wang An nodded.
, it’s time to get down to business.
"About eighteen years ago, in a mountain called Qingshan, which is not very famous, there was an old Taoist temple in the mountain. There was an old Taoist in the Taoist temple. People didn't know his name. They only knew that his surname was Cui, and they all called him
Cui Laodao." In the wind and snow, Gu Nanpo recounted an old story.
"There is a small village at the foot of Qingshan Mountain. There is a lake in front of the village. The lake is not big, but it produces a kind of fish that tastes very delicious. One day, a group of outsiders came to the village, and they came here for the fish in the lake.
.
They paid people to go into the lake to catch fish. During this period, they accidentally met a young girl. The girl was young and beautiful. They got evil intentions and harmed the girl. They also killed someone who went to look for her.
's younger brother.
The girl couldn't think about it and hanged herself. Her mother was so angry that she went crazy because of the sudden change.
Their father reported the crime. The group of people went to the city and acted as if nothing was wrong. They were allowed to eat and drink in the city. After being arrested, a scapegoat was found to take the blame, but the real perpetrators were still at large.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! About a month passed after that incident, when everyone involved in the incident died in a villa.
This incident caused quite a shock, and a special task force was set up locally to investigate, and the suspect was finally identified as Taoist Cui.
When they came to the door, he had already dismissed the disciples in the Taoist temple and confessed to what he had done. It turned out that the dead children were his grandson and granddaughter. Then he did not just surrender and killed all the people who came to arrest him.
Got it!
The local armed forces were dispatched to encircle and suppress the attack, resulting in heavy casualties. Then the Special Affairs Bureau intervened and dispatched the special operations team, which resulted in the loss of three teams at once.
In the end, they succeeded in killing Taoist Cui. It is said that he died from exhaustion. However, I agree with another theory. He actively asked for death and did not want to continue killing.
Later, his body was dissected, and after analysis and research, they concluded that Taoist Cui had developed the legendary Qi." Here Gu Nanpo paused for a moment and looked at Wang An.
"The leaders of those who committed evil that day were descendants of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family was behind the campaign to suppress Daoist Cui.
That incident should be the most costly loss suffered by the Special Affairs Bureau in the past fifty years.
After that incident, the Special Secret Service established a special secret department to deal with similar incidents in the future.
According to the information we have received, sir has been on their list." "Have you finished speaking?" Wang Andao said.
"That's it." Gu Nanpo nodded.
"The wind and snow are so strong, please go slower when going down the mountain."
"Okay, this is my contact information. If you have any instructions, sir, you can contact me at any time."
Gu Nanpo left a business card with only his name and phone number and went down the mountain with a small bag of beef, without staying any longer.
The mountain wind howled, and the snow seemed to be falling heavier than before. Soon Gu Nanpo's back disappeared into the wind and snow.
"Xiao Hou, do you think
What do you think of the story he just told? Is it interesting?" The monkey nodded.
"I also think what he said is good." Wang An said with a smile.
Traveling such a long way and putting in so much effort to come up the mountain is just to tell such a story and deliver such a message. Do you want to take a long-term view and catch the big fish?
"Ignore him and just do your own thing with peace of mind."
Wang An was worried that someone would disturb him again while he was refining the elixir. After thinking about it, he found a rock weighing several thousand kilograms from the mountain and carved the words "No Visitors" on it with an ancient sword.
When you are in retreat, you will stand this stone here. At ordinary times, you can put the stone down with the words facing down.
It snowed all day and all night, and the wind and snow stopped the next day. Standing on the mountain and looking around, it was covered in silver, which was particularly enchanting.
Wang An began to process medicinal materials in the cave, preparing to refine the "Qi Yi Dan".
Before refining the medicinal materials, Wang An specifically told the monkey that he would be refining the elixir in seclusion and no one would disturb him. The monkey nodded solemnly, indicating that he was committed to completing the task.
When refining elixirs in winter, there are some restrictions on some medicinal materials that need to be dried, such as Polygonum multiflorum which needs "nine steaming and nine drying". But this is not a big problem, it just takes a little longer.
In the past, it took twelve days to refine the elixir. This time, it took sixteen days to refine four elixirs at once.
Wang An swallowed four pills at once, and then practiced the "Yi Jin Jing" exercises to circulate the true energy in his body and refine the potency of the pills. This time he found that the potency of the pills was not as strong as the previous times.
"The effectiveness of the elixir is weakening?"
After practicing in seclusion for the past few days and fully absorbing the power of these four pills, Wang An was able to confirm that the potency of the pills had indeed declined. The potency of these four pills had dropped by nearly half compared to before.
"Is it possible that drug resistance has developed?" Wang Anxin asked. "According to this situation, the effectiveness of the elixir may continue to decline in the future."
In fact, it is not very appropriate to say that the effectiveness of the elixirs has declined. It is mainly because his cultivation level has improved and his true energy has become more pure, so he feels that the amount of true energy that can be provided by absorbing these pills is not as good as before.
This is like eating five pots of elixir and a large amount of peaches, and drinking royal wine, and then being burned in an alchemy furnace for seven or forty-nine days to refine and refine the power of the medicine and the effectiveness of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The indestructible Monkey King.
He made such a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace that all the heavenly soldiers and generals could not subdue him.
At this time, if you let him eat a few elixirs, a few flat peaches will definitely have no effect, and can only be regarded as a snack to satisfy his craving.
If Wang continues to practice, I am afraid that within a year or two, this "Qi Yi Dan" will become a snack for him, and it will not even have the icing on the cake effect. He stayed in this mountain for more than twenty days.
, Wang An returned to his hometown, and the two old men were chatting around the stove. They seemed to be in a good mood. There were some more gifts in the house.
"Has anyone been here again?"
"Yes, there are several people here, all from the capital. Siying has also been here. Look, the clothes on your grandpa and I were bought by her. Do they look good?"
"Yeah, they look good." Wang An nodded after looking at them. The new clothes are indeed good, and they look very high-end at first glance.
"They even came to help clean up the place, and she didn't mind it being dirty. I think that girl is quite nice," the old man said.
Alas, Wang An responded.
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, do you have to go see others?" Well, Wang An responded again.
"What's wrong with you?" The old man glared at her.
"Go, I really have to go out." Wang An hurriedly said with a smile. After staying at home for two days, Wang An drove to Hu'an and went to the house where he used to live.
After arriving in Hu'an, Wang An's first person to visit was Li Xinzhu. The person was so happy when he heard that he was coming. He rushed to Wang An's residence in less than half an hour after receiving the call.
"You're finally here. I thought you had forgotten this city and was planning to visit you in a few days."
Meet old friends
Very happy, Li Xinzhu invited Wang An to Qingyang Mountain, where Chen Xifeng's Tai Chi studio had been bought by him.
Here, Wang An saw the practice room carefully built by Li Xinzhu. There were sandbags, wooden dummies, plum blossom stakes, standing bricks, and water tanks in the yard. The layout looked similar to the one where Wang An lived in Hu'an.
The yard is somewhat similar.
"How are you doing with your brick-walking practice?" Wang An pointed to the bricks standing on the ground.
"I'll take two steps and you have a look." As he spoke, Li Xinzhu jumped lightly and came to the standing bricks, and then walked on the standing bricks. His walking was smooth and his steps were somewhat light.
"Not bad." Wang And said. It can be seen that Li Xinzhu must have worked hard through walking on bricks. There is no shortcut for this. It just requires continuous practice and continuous summary.
Don't underestimate this brick walking, it contains many skills, which can not only practice the strength of the lower limbs, but also practice force-generating skills. Wang An's almost teleportation kung fu is based on brick walking.
"You have to try to incorporate the footwork of Xingyiquan into it. Once you are proficient in walking the bricks, you can practice walking the cylinder according to the method I taught you. Don't be anxious."
Li Xinzhu nodded in agreement and invited Wang An into the room. To Wang An's surprise, the furnishings in the room were quite simple and elegant, and did not adopt the magnificent decoration style.
