The five hundred and fourteenth chapter love for a long time
Xue Chen stood by the lake, facing the east, quietly waiting for the sun to rise.
Without the obstruction of the gray fog, the first ray of sunlight appeared exceptionally clear and clean, and the sparkling lake surface was also reflected in a light golden color. Xue Chen held the ancient jade in his hand, and his eyes flashed with joy, secretly thinking that it was indeed like this!
This time, the growth of the spiritual energy in the ancient jade was roughly the same as that on Yunxia Mountain, around one percent. This showed that his guess was correct. It was indeed because the air in the city was so bad that the incoming spiritual energy also dropped sharply!
Turning around and sitting on the rock at his feet, facing the moist lotus pond, Xue Chen lowered his head slightly and thought quietly for a long time. Why would spiritual energy be produced and absorbed by the ancient jade when facing the east at sunrise?
Is it just a coincidence that Yunxia Mountain discovered it, or is it a recent evolution of ancient jade?
He has absorbed spiritual energy from ancient antiques, Feng Shui masters' magic tools, and even the statues of gods and Buddhas worshiped by people. All of them have something to rely on, and it is not surprising that he can roughly figure out the key to it.
But it’s a bit strange to be able to absorb spiritual energy just by watching the sunrise. After thinking about it for a while, I still didn’t understand the reason, but an inexplicable word popped into my head, purple energy comes from the east!
Legend has it that when Lao Tzu passed through Hangu Pass, Yin Xi, the commander of Hangu Pass, saw purple energy coming from the east. He expected that a saint was coming to pass the pass. Sure enough, it was Lao Tzu who came riding a green ox.
"Is this considered spiritual energy coming from the east?" Xue Chen said to himself, then stood up, stretched out comfortably and patted his buttocks.
Although he couldn't figure out the reason, it was a good thing for him. One percent every day, wouldn't it be enough in three months if everything went well? As for him, having to get up early and go out of the city every day didn't count.
What kind of trouble is this?
Walking along the lake in the direction of the parking lot, when passing by a woods by the lake, he unexpectedly saw an old man practicing boxing in a gravel clearing between the woods and Lianhu Pond. He stopped in surprise.
Anyone who sees an old man practicing boxing by the lake twenty or thirty miles away from the city early in the morning will look at him in surprise.
The old man is about seventy years old, with gray hair, standing upright. He is wearing a white coat, black trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. He is not practicing Tai Chi, which is common in the park. As for the specifics,
Xue Chen didn't know what boxing techniques were. He had practiced Sanda in college, but he knew nothing about boxing techniques.
But after looking at it for a few minutes, he smacked something out. The old man should be practicing boxing techniques that imitate animals. Just now it was a monkey, but now it looks like it should be a swallow or a magpie. Anyway, it must be a bird. Look at that stretch
The two open arms should be the 'wings'.
He felt that this old man's training should not be just showy, but he had some real skills inside. It was certainly not comparable to the old people wielding Longquan Swords that he often saw in the park. Sometimes he suddenly punched with great force, which was quite a bit strange.
Power.
After watching for a while, the old man finished his boxing practice and stood there with his hands closed and breathed out. Xue Chen did not come forward to disturb him, nor did he take the initiative to talk for a few words, but left quietly.
The old man glanced at Xue Chen who was leaving and then slowly turned around and left.
For seven consecutive days, Xue Chen drove out of the city on time every day and came to the lotus pond. He stood on the stone, facing the east, and quietly waited for the sun to rise.
God is also very kind to me. There has been no rain or cloudy days in these seven days. On the eighth day, the spiritual energy content in the ancient jade reached one-fifth!
These days, Xue Chen could see the old man practicing boxing in the same place every day. Like him, he did not miss a day. Every time he came back, he would stand ten meters away and watch for a while, and never came forward to say a word.
talk.
That day, after watching the old man practice boxing, Xue Chen turned around and was about to leave when he heard the old man shout softly: "You come to my place to learn from me every day, and you don't even mention paying tuition, and you leave without even saying hello?"
When Xue Chen heard this, he turned around and looked at the old man, who was frowning but with a sullen look on his face but with gentle eyes. He walked closer, clasped his fists with a smile and said: "I don't dare to disturb the old gentleman's boxing practice, let alone the old gentleman's boxing skills. How can this boy be like that?"
Did you learn it secretly? Even if you learn it secretly, you are just copying a tiger from a tiger and imitating a cat from a tiger. You cannot learn the essence. If you use it to fight with others, you will probably get beaten."
After hearing these words, Huo Shaolin felt very satisfied, but they were more subtle and more appealing to the ears than the naked words of praise that he usually heard.
"Boy, you see I have been boxing for a week, do you see anything?" Huo Shaolin asked with his hands behind his back.
"Well, the old gentleman practices boxing techniques that imitate animals, right?" Xue Chen asked.
"Yes, I practice the four types of Twelve-Shaped Boxing: tiger, monkey, horse and swallow. Twelve-shaped Fist also belongs to Xingyi Boxing." Huo Shaolin said.
Xue Chen nodded clearly: "I have learned a lesson."
Huo Shaolin had a good sense of the kid in front of him. He watched him practice boxing for seven or eight days in a row, but he never made any noise to interfere.
I am in a rare good mood and would like to chat more.
"Boy, guess again, which one of these four types am I best at?"
Xue Chen touched his chin and guessed: "Horse shape."
"Huh?" Huo Shaolin was surprised, "Why did you guess it was in the shape of a horse?"
Although Xue Chen didn't have the idea of stealing from his master after watching it for so many days, he could still see some skills. When the old man practiced the horse-shaped boxing, he was obviously more powerful and the movements of his hands and feet were more agile.
"The old gentleman is still practicing boxing diligently at such a young age, just like the old man Fufeng, so I guessed it was a horse shape." Xue Chen said with a smile.
"Lao Ji Fufeng." Huo Shaolin's eyes lit up and he thought about these four words in his mouth. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. He felt that this word was really suitable for him. He thought that he must write down these four words when he comes back.
The words were framed and hung in the living room.
"You guessed it right. It is indeed a horse shape. Horses have long strength and can carry people at a gallop and pull carts. Therefore, horse-shaped boxing is also the most suitable for nourishing energy and spirit, so I have always preferred the horse shape."
Xue Chen vaguely caught a glimpse of a black car parked in the distance. There were two men and a woman standing next to the car. It looked like they were waiting for the old man, so he said goodbye to the old man in time.
"Do you come to the lake every day?" the old man asked.
"Except for cloudy days and rain." Xue Chen replied.
"Okay, I'll teach you boxing for half an hour every day from now on."
Xue Chen was startled for a moment and became entangled in his heart. He had no idea of practicing boxing at all. He just waited and watched for a while out of curiosity. But did the old man think that he wanted to practice boxing, or was he too enthusiastic?
He really has no interest in boxing, maybe because he has never seen a powerful boxing master, so he always has some doubts about his fighting ability. If he talks about practicing boxing to maintain health, it is even more useless to him.
The ability of rejuvenation to strengthen the human body is short-lived, but after long-term observation, he found that rejuvenation also has the effect of regulating the body and can subtly strengthen the qi and blood. Therefore, when he was in Yunxia Mountain, even if he did not wear cotton clothes or get into a sleeping bag,
He can bear it too.
Rejected? I'm afraid it's not a good idea. After all, the old man also had good intentions. He thought about it a lot for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed: "Thank you very much, sir." It's only half an hour a day, so you should respect the elderly.
If the old man knew that Xue Chen agreed to practice boxing with him on the basis of "respecting the elderly", he would be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood. Regardless of whether it was for the purpose of currying favor or because he really wanted to learn boxing, as long as he coughed, he would be willing to
Those who worshiped him as a disciple could line up from the edge of Lianhu Lake to the urban area of Haicheng City.
Xue Chen turned around and left, and the two men and one woman who were waiting by the car also came over. Judging from the appearance, the man and the old man were obviously father and son. They were wearing black coats and had dignified faces. The white temples added a bit of power.
"Dad, who is that person?"
"I don't know. It's quite interesting for a young man to stand by and watch me practice these days." Huo Shaolin made a simple comment and got in the car.
"Oh." The middle-aged man glanced in the direction of Xue Chen who was walking away.
The car drove all the way up the mountain and entered the courtyard of a single-family villa hidden in the green hills with winding paths leading far away from the hustle and bustle.
…
"Old Xue, I heard from Xiaoyan that these days you go out before dawn every morning? What are you doing?" Wang Dong asked in confusion.
"Why, she became a female spy and reported my itinerary to you?" Xue Chen asked with a smile.
Wang Dong hurriedly waved his hand: "She was just curious, but she didn't feel comfortable asking you directly, so she asked me. But how did I know? You are always mysterious."
"Watch the sunrise." Xue Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip with squinted eyes, and replied.
"Why don't you find a good reason for lying? Who would watch the sunrise every morning if they have nothing to do?" Wang Dong also took a sip of tea and curled his lips.
"I told you that you don't believe me, so I have nothing to do. How about I pick you up tomorrow morning and watch the sunrise together? By the way, we can also watch an old man practice boxing." Xue Chen said with a smile.
Wang Dong only thought that Xue Chen was 'nonsense' and did not take it seriously. He put down the tea cup and asked with a strange smile: "Old Xue, you and Xiaoyan have been living together for two or three months, right?"
"Almost, what's wrong?" Xue Chen asked calmly.
"Then you and Xiaoyan are under the same roof every day, so you haven't been in love for a long time?" Wang Dong chuckled, as if he hoped to get a positive answer.
Xue Chen did not disappoint him. He nodded and said generously: "Yes."
"Really?!" Wang Dong jumped up from the sofa chair excitedly and began to speak incoherently, "Then have you agreed on when to hold the wedding? Will it be in Haicheng or your hometown..."
Looking at Wang Dong with an excited face, Xue Chen shook his head speechlessly, wondering what kind of brother Qi Yan was dating, and chuckled: "You are wrong, the long-lasting love I said refers to the love between brother and sister.
,Well, Xiaoyan is a pretty good sister."
Wang Dong's happy expression froze on his face. (To be continued)
