Wang Xuan put down the body-shu secret book with yellowed paper and picked up a golden bamboo slip from the pre-Qin period.
It is only eight centimeters long, very heavy, not like bamboo, and as gentle as jade. It was given by Aoki when he joined the expedition organization.
According to Zhao Qinghan, over the past decades or hundreds of years, a total of four golden bamboo slips have been unearthed from the old soil, two of which have been scrambled by various parties and have been scattered.
Wang Xuan estimated that a complete golden bamboo slip should cost dozens of pieces. It would be too difficult to collect them all.
He looked at the engravings on it. The creature with a human head and a snake body was lifelike, but it was difficult to understand its meaning. There were currently too few samples to fully comprehend.
He put the bamboo slips aside. On the road to old skills, one needs to accumulate them slowly. There is no need to focus on pre-Qin wonders from the beginning.
In the early morning, Wang Xuan went to practice the alchemist's root method. He would have to go to work in two days. He cherished the peaceful life now.
When he came back covered in sweat and saw the golden secret book on the desk again, Wang Xuan couldn't help but walked over.
After careful observation and identification, he was convinced that the yellowed scriptures were ancient relics and not old-fashioned, but the records in the books were too deceptive.
In the end, he couldn't hold it back. After washing up, he changed a special phone card and contacted Aoki of the expedition organization via a secret line to ask him for advice.
After hearing his rough description, Aoki burst out laughing and said: "The ancients all had a problem. They liked to exaggerate. They said that hundreds of years and thousands of years are all water. It's just to show the extraordinaryness of this physical technique. Listen to it.
Forget it. Wait a minute, I remembered. The physical technique of Golden Body seems to be very famous. It first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty. I don’t remember the specific details clearly. "
Wang Xuan was a little impressed after hearing this. Qingmu even knew the origin of this scripture. People who are successful in practicing old skills are indeed extraordinary.
"You can practice this physical technique, but remember not to be superstitious about it. Not to mention the back, it will take hundreds of years to master the first seven or eight levels. Who are you kidding? Just imagine if it is as described in the scriptures, the original author
Where did he go? He was from the Northern Song Dynasty. If he had reached the thirteenth level, wouldn't he be alive today? But someone in later generations seems to have discovered his tomb."
…
After Wang Xuan put down the phone, he felt complicated.
Originally, he still had some unrealistic ideas. If the Golden Body Technique was somewhat credible, there might not be a new world at the end of the old technique!
As a result, Aoki's words directly made him understand how unreliable the ancients were.
"The original author of the Golden Body Technique, I remember you, and Zhou Mingxuan, I also remember you!"
Soon after, Wang Xuan went out. His classmates going to Xinxing would leave across the galaxy tomorrow, and Professor Lin would take the same starship back with them.
When they parted, he naturally wanted to visit Professor Xia Lin again and see him off in advance. He would not be able to approach the spaceship tomorrow.
Professor Lin has gray hair and a slightly chubby body, but his complexion is pretty good, his face is red, and his laughter is full of energy.
"Don't complain. The ancients were like this sometimes and liked to exaggerate. But the physical skill of Golden Body is indeed not simple. It is said that after practicing it, you will be invulnerable. The founder is named Zhou Yungong. He is a legendary figure. His body is stronger than the best armor.
He was many times more powerful. He lived to be more than 150 years old and finally died of old age in the Shu Mountains. During the Ming Dynasty, tomb robbers visited his tomb, allowing the secret book of golden body skills he left behind to be seen again. This man was still very powerful.
There are records in unofficial history.”
Wang Xuan Wuyan, how could a man who had lived for more than 150 years develop physical skills that took thousands of years to master?
He sighed for a while, there were many big deceivers among the ancients.
However, Zhou Yungong was actually visited by tomb robbers. It was indeed a bit miserable to have his tomb robbed.
Wang Xuan admired Professor Lin endlessly. He was really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He had dug out the roots of the original author of the Golden Body Technique and knew more than Aoki.
"Don't underestimate the physical skill of Golden Body. It can make Zhou Yunkong live for more than 150 years, which speaks for itself. In addition, it is said that when the tomb robbers dug him out, his body was not completely decomposed.
***Iron and stone are hard, and even iron swords cannot cut him. You must know that he had been dead for two or three hundred years at that time."
Wang Xuan's heart was filled with excitement and he was looking forward to it!
In this era, a hot weapon can eliminate masters in the field of old arts. If one can master the Golden Body Technique, one's life will become hardened directly.
"Zhou Yukong and Zhou Mingxuan both have the surname Zhou. Could it be that the former is the ancestor of the Zhou family?"
But soon Wang Xuan shook his head again. It was not such a coincidence. Moreover, if it was an ancestral item, Zhou Mingxuan would not give it away.
"Looking at the paper, this secret book is only over two hundred years old. It was probably copied by later generations. After studying it, I think it should be a true scripture."
Since Professor Lin was unable to practice the war, he turned to theoretical research and research on various old techniques and ancient methods. He has a sharp vision and accurate judgment.
Wang Xuan sighed: "Today's secret book touched me a lot. Since it is so exaggerated, are other ancient scriptures also like this?"
This was the fundamental reason why he asked Professor Zhou for advice. The secret book given by Zhou Mingxuan disturbed Wang Xuan's mood.
Are the legends about the old magic still credible? For example, the methods and paths left by the pre-Qin alchemists, etc., must have been infinitely exaggerated, right?
Professor Lin shook his head and said: "It's not as serious as you think. Exaggerating like the Golden Body Technique is just an example. Only a few scriptures are like this. It is mainly related to the historical environment at that time. For example, in that era, even the official residence battle report was
In this way, in one battle, only a few hundred people were beheaded and captured, but in the end it was written that the enemy was defeated by tens of thousands, and corpses were scattered everywhere. This is the case among officials, so you can imagine what happened to the unofficial history of the people."
Wang Xuan was speechless. Why did he feel that practicing old skills required a lot of knowledge? In addition to reading Taoist scriptures, did he also need to read more history?
Professor Lin added: "As for the strength of the pre-Qin alchemists, the final conclusion was reached after testing by some life research institutes in Xinxing."
Chaebols, research institutions, etc. have excavated the bodies of a few alchemists from the pre-Qin period in old soil. They have been tested and analyzed, and the conclusions are credible.
"So, don't doubt the brilliance of the old art. If you want to continue on this road, confidence is very important."
Wang Xuan suddenly became serious and said: "I fell in love with the phase and fell behind. I originally joined the old art experimental class because I was interested, but later I wanted to continue exploring."
In the field of old arts, he has never been superstitious. At first he wanted to follow the footsteps of his predecessors, but eventually he wanted to verify this path himself.
Professor Lin had some feelings and said: "Today's technological civilization is so dazzling that for those who practice old skills, they can feel boundless and huge pressure all the time."
Wang Xuan nodded, but the belief in his heart became stronger. If he reaches the end of the road and the old technique has no way out, then he hopes that he can make a difference!
…
In the evening, Wang Xuan studied physical skills at his residence and understood the root method. Finally, he went downstairs to the outside of the forest area of the community, facing the moonlight, and began to collect Qi and nourish it internally.
He emptied himself, his heart was extremely clear, and the soft and white moonlight filled his heart. At this time, he was transparent both internally and externally, and his perception was super strong.
Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt that his forehead seemed to be tight and swollen, as if he was about to be pierced by some sharp weapon. His hair stood on end, and his heart was frightened. He subconsciously moved his body to the side, moving at high speed completely based on instinct.
Chi!
There was a soft sound, and he felt his temples heat up, and a terrible air flow flew past his ears. Some hair strands broke off, giving off a burnt smell.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Wang Xuan disappeared into the dense woods of the community like an agile cheetah.
This is an old community. After decades of growth, the trees planted in the past have become towering trees. They are so lush that they instantly obscure Wang Xuan's figure.
Now Wang Xuan's eyes were as sharp as two sharp swords, staring coldly in a certain direction in the forest, while his heart was beating violently.
Just now, he was shot!
Death was only a finger away from him. If he had not moved his body sideways in advance, his head would have been penetrated and he would have died!
At that moment, he felt the terrifying airflow caused by the bullets flying by. There was a strong wind beside his ears, brushing against his temples, and many hair strands broke off.
Who is it? Dare to use guns in residential areas like this. This is simply unscrupulous and beyond the imagination of normal people!
The control of guns in the old land has always been very strict. For ordinary citizens, they never have to worry about being shot for no reason. Public security has always been very good.
But now, Wang Xuan has personally experienced a life-and-death crisis. When he encountered such an extremely serious vicious incident, someone wanted to kill him. He had no scruples and went to a residential area to do it. It is really outrageous!
The opponent's gun was equipped with a silencer and did not alert anyone else. Wang Xuan searched for the enemy in the silence.
He didn't rush out. He didn't know how many people had come secretly and how many guns they had. He suddenly took off his shirt, shook his hands and threw it out of the forest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, he heard three slight noises, and three bullet holes instantly appeared on his falling shirt. The sniper's strength was astonishing, his response speed was super fast, and his marksmanship was frighteningly accurate.
Wang Xuan's face was very cold. There were at least three gunmen with extraordinary strength just outside the fence of the community, waiting for the opportunity to shoot him.
He had even determined the locations of the three gunmen.
But instead of going out, he went deeper into the woods and hid behind a tree.
Because he secretly didn't know if anyone was still uninitiated, he didn't want to become someone else's target on this moonlit night.
At this moment, the first thing that came to his mind was the Golden Body Technique.
If he masters this kind of physical skill, he will definitely not care if there are others in the dark and will directly fight back and hunt down the enemy under the stars and moon.
Wang Xuan was very calm and did not act rashly.
He put on a special phone card, contacted Aoki, and explained the situation briefly and quickly.
"You did the right thing. You don't have a thermal weapon in your hand. Find a bunker and hide. Professionals will handle it later. I will go over and give you some equipment."
After Aoki put down the phone, his face was extremely cold. Even he felt that those people were unscrupulous. This was a big city in the old land, and such a vicious shooting incident actually happened.
If you are exploring in the wild, and some large organizations and chaebols meet, they may fight over the treasure, but there is one thing they must abide by, they must not open fire in the city, and they must not involve ordinary citizens.
Otherwise, the whole society will be in big trouble.
This is a tacit understanding, and it is also a conventional rule. All organizations and institutions abide by it, and few people dare to cause trouble.
Otherwise, the state will educate those organizations and institutions on how to behave. Although the old land has declined, certain bottom lines will always be there.
Wang Xuan climbed up a big tree and thought quietly, who wanted to kill him?
This happened to him just after he left campus.
He thought of some recent people and events, and went through all the people and forces related to him, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
First of all, he joined the expedition organization and went to Qingcheng Mountain yesterday for an operation. I wonder if he left any clues that might arouse the murderous intention of some people.
The forces involved include the Zhou family, the Ling family, and the Wu family, and the individuals involved include Jinchuan of the expedition organization.
Wang Xuan also included Wu Yin, whom he met for the first time last night, among his individuals.
In addition to these people and forces, he traced time further back in time, and Zhou Yun once had a personal entanglement with him.
And Zhou Yun's father Zhou Mingxuan is even more powerful.
In addition, going further, Wang Xuan thought that someone wanted to keep him in the old land and prevent him from going to Xinxing. Although it was not relevant this time, he still went through it.
Wang Xuan was full of murderous intent. He was guessing and deducing which of these people and forces dared to brazenly shoot and kill people in residential areas in the city?
Who is it, so cruel and unscrupulous to kill him, to get rid of him?!
If he dies, will someone quietly smooth over the traces without disturbing the outside world or causing any waves? The people and forces who took action seem to be very confident!
