After Wang Xuan heard this, he didn't know why, but he didn't feel miserable. Instead, he wanted to grin out loud.
Of course, in order to avoid irritating Lao Chen, he pretended to rub his temples with both hands and then rubbed his face, fearing that Lao Chen would see his unkind smile and beat him up.
Taking this opportunity, Wang Xuan released his sense of laughter, and then looked at Old Chen with a serious face. He had no choice but to act more solemnly because Old Chen was too dangerous now.
"Old Chen, you have to know that this world is balanced. When you gain something, you are also paying something. That is a terrifying boxing technique that surpasses the King Kong Fist. It is hard to obtain." In order to increase the sense of language, Wang Xuan finally
Still sighing there.
Lao Chen has always been shrewd, and he is strong enough, so he is not easy to fool. He immediately sneered: "What about you, how come you weren't beaten?"
Wang Xuan was also wondering. He was indeed a little confused this time, why the same method used by Old Chen didn't work and he was beaten up by the old monk instead.
He actually wanted to say that it was probably a matter of character, and Lao Chen's character was not up to standard, but he did not dare to mention it, so he could only insist: "I also paid the price!"
It's okay that Lao Chen didn't listen to this, but he became angry when he heard it, and said coldly: "What did you pay for? From the female alchemist to the ghost monk, it's me you paid for!"
Lao Chen was full of resentment. He thought carefully about it. Every time he came to take over the deal, he didn't get any of the expected benefits and suffered in vain.
"Old Chen, what are you talking about? Don't be so disgusting." Wang Xuan naturally refused to admit it. He had to compete with Old Chen to balance his mind.
After talking about a bunch of non-existent "history of blood and tears", Wang Xuan added: "Besides, Lao Chen, to borrow your logic, you paid for Qingmu."
Lao Chen immediately looked unkind and said: "Are you reminding me that you sacrificed both of us, master and disciple?!"
In fact, Wang Xuan has been wondering why Lao Chen was beaten. Is this because of the inheritance of cause and effect, and the old monk changed his direction and took revenge on Lao Chen?
"Old Chen, I can swear that I just gave him a stick to get what he wanted! Don't worry, let's review it, tell me about your experience, and we can figure out a solution together."
"Do you really want to know the details of my beating?" Lao Chen was filled with murderous intent. Things have not been going well recently, and he was really angry.
Although he really wanted to hear how he was beaten, for safety reasons, Wang Xuan naturally refused to admit it and immediately changed the subject, saying: "By the way, which branch of Buddhism does Pufa Temple belong to?"
"Eh?!" Lao Chen was startled, then became serious, and he realized what the problem was.
Wang Xuan casually said that he wanted to find a way to get more clues from the origin of this thousand-year-old temple. However, after finishing speaking, he himself was stunned and thought about something.
"Zen!" they both said at the same time.
"That is, the heart is Buddha!"
"Become a Buddha after seeing your true nature!"
"The Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra" records: As soon as he heard the words, he had a great enlightenment and suddenly saw the true nature and the free nature of all dharmas.
"Old Chen, what people talk about is enlightenment and following one's heart. For example, I acted according to my heart at that time. Although it was a little disrespectful, it was... recognized. As for you, you are obviously full of tricks and care about other people's experiences.
Wen, but you still have to put on a show and hit someone on the head. If I, an old monk, don’t like you, I won’t beat you alive for the rest of the night.”
When Old Chen heard this, he looked up at the sky. At this moment, he just wanted to sigh and didn't want to say anything else.
Ever since he mentioned Zen Buddhism, he naturally fully understood the crux of the problem, and he turned around and left.
"Old Chen, do you want me to teach you the remaining moves?" Wang Xuan was very enthusiastic and prepared to do it to the end.
"No, I'm afraid your movements are not standard!" Lao Chen was disgusted and decided to face the ghost monk tonight and completely empty out the scriptures on his body.
Lao Chen was really powerful. He got what he wanted that night and no longer suffered from insomnia. From that day on, he hid in a small courtyard outside the city, thanked guests behind closed doors, and practiced hard on that boxing technique.
Once Qingmu and the others went underground in Daxinganling, they never returned. There was no news for a long time.
Wang Xuan's life became quiet, and Lao Chen gave him special approval and a long vacation. He had a lot of time to study old skills every day.
He was also looking through the Taoist canon, not to dig out any inheritance from it, but just to understand some code words and proper nouns, so as to further understand the secrets of the ancient times.
During this period, he went home and had a deep talk with his parents, saying that the company saw his outstanding performance and was planning to send him to Xinxing for further studies. The place and opportunity were rare and he did not want to miss it.
To his surprise, his parents were very supportive, without any sadness or reluctance, and all the words of comfort he had prepared were of no use.
He thought about it. From his childhood memories, his parents seemed to have always been like this. They were a little big-hearted and never had any worries about separation.
This also gave him a sigh of relief. If his face was full of tears and he couldn't eat, he would probably hesitate and not go on the road for a long time.
Soon after, Qingmu began to summon Wang Xuan and told Wang Xuan that he had been tortured so hard that he truly felt the pain of his master at night. He could not sleep every day and was struck by lightning!
He explained that he had suffered the same fate as a fish in a pond and died from it.
The female alchemist's methods of leveraging the present world have become increasingly astonishing, and she has launched large-scale "spiritual lightning" attacks on everyone in the underground experimental site.
Researchers from Nova did not believe this at first, thinking that it was an hallucination caused by some kind of super-material factor. The most advanced instruments were transported from Nova for screening and detection, recording observations and research.
Moreover, neither Ms. Zheng, the founder of the Origin Research Institute, nor some people in the old land want to terminate the experiment, and have high hopes for the continuation of the longevity issue.
Obviously, either the people at the scientific research institute will carry out the experiment to the end, or the female alchemist's methods of intervening in the world will be further improved, allowing Ms. Zheng of Xinxing and some people in the old land to "experience" it personally.
For a while, the matter reached a deadlock.
Wang Xuan was not in a hurry and waited slowly for Lao Chen and Qingmu. He was studying the old skills and practicing the old monk's boxing skills every day.
More than a week later, he received several letters from far away places.
The first letter was from Qin Cheng, who brought a letter to Wang Xuan through the deep space trade team that cooperated with his family.
"Old Wang, I have established a foothold here. Due to some coincidence, I have the opportunity to recommend you to others. If successful, I can operate you until the new moon."
In the letter, Qin Cheng provided him with an address, which was a branch of a Xinxing company in the old land, and asked him to try to contact it himself to increase his chances of success.
"Old Wang, there are good things on the new moon. Several rare plants are undergoing mutation experiments and large-scale planting on the new moon. A certain number of dead plants are allowed to report damage every day. I feel pain and happiness at the same time. I suffer from myself.
Due to my limited strength, I can't bear that kind of tiger and wolf medicine, and taking one plant every half a month is already my physical limit."
Wang Xuan was moved, why is Tiger Wolf Medicine so powerful?
"There is actually a Guanghan Palace built on the new moon. I was almost dumbfounded when I came here. It is said to be the most luxurious resort in deep space and is worth going to. But with my wealth, I can only watch helplessly from a distance.
."
In addition to talking about some key points, Qin Cheng also mentioned a lot of trivial matters.
"There is something strange on the new moon. There is an ancient temple that is said to be two thousand years old. It was transported from the old soil. In addition, a certain ancestral palace of Taoism was also restored here. It is said that every brick and tile was transported from the original site.
Coming here, I always feel like there is some secret."
After seeing this, Wang Xuan was a little moved, but also confused.
Next, there were letters from Su Chan and Zhou Kun. They informed Wang Xuan that two of his classmates had died due to some unexpected circumstances.
They were sentimental, but did not say the cause of death, but it can be imagined that behind all the beauty there is cruel sacrifice.
Wang Xuan sighed, in less than a month, two of his classmates died one after another, which was really unexpected.
He still remembered that at the last night of the party, the classmates who were about to go to Xinxing were very high-spirited and wanted to achieve great achievements. They were confident and youthful, and their faces were extremely bright. Why did they suddenly have an accident? What a pity!
He was also going to Xinxing, and he reminded himself secretly not to be careless.
In addition, he also received a handwritten letter from Zhao Qinghan, telling him about the death of his classmate, and Goddess Zhao once again mentioned cooperation.
Two days later, Aoki returned, and the affairs underground in Daxinganling finally came to an end. He did not elaborate in detail.
On the contrary, when he mentioned Wang Xuan's matter, he looked serious and said: "It's a bit unexpected. Someone wants to keep you in the old soil and prevent you from taking a step out."
Wang Xuan frowned. Some people's hands were stretched too far and were everywhere, trying to completely block his way to Xinxing.
When Lao Chen found out that Qingmu was back, he finally came out of seclusion with a glow in his face. In his words, the magic of the monk's boxing was infinite, he had gained a lot, and he saw a clear path.
Wang Xuan looked at him. Not long ago, this old colleague called him a ghost monk. Now that he has received benefits, he immediately calls him a divine monk. It is estimated that after a while, he will call him a bodhisattva.
"It's a joke to pin Xiao Wang down in the old soil. Have you asked me?" Lao Chen sneered.
Then he looked at Wang Xuan and said: "Some things are going to happen recently. Haven't you always wanted to know how strong I am? Do you want to know what the new technique is? You can go with me to see it."
After hearing this, Aoki's expression changed and he said: "Master, you can't go. This time is very dangerous. There is no need to fight. If you are not careful, you will die."
"I haven't done anything for many years. In addition, some old friends have passed away. They really think that the old technique is completely finished, and they are even more contemptuous of me. If this continues, there will be fewer and fewer people practicing the old technique in the future.
, the foundation will completely collapse. Besides, that thing has been born again, and I have to go there this time!"
Old Chen said in a deep voice, his temperament was different from before. Finally he looked at Wang Xuan and said, "You and I should go and see it."
