On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Lou Cheng happily changed the training location again and came to the shore of Houshui Lake.
Classmate Ke Xiaoke came back from Jiangnan Province yesterday!
In the morning mist, not long after he sent the message, he saw a girl wearing a white martial arts uniform and a refreshing ponytail, jogging out of the villa community.
The exchange of glances was full of warmth.
One after another, without speaking, the two turned into a fork in the road and approached the familiar place.
During this process, Lou Cheng slowly quickened his pace, and it didn't take long for him to be side by side with Yan Zheke, breathing in the fragrance that calmed his mind.
"Chengzi, let me show you something~!" When they arrived at the usual place, Yan Zheke raised his chin slightly and shook the bag in his hand with bright eyes.
"There's no rush." Lou Cheng chuckled. Seeing that it was still dark and no one was around, he immediately pulled the girl over and hugged her into his arms.
"You..." Yan Zheke's eyes suddenly widened, and her delicate protest was choked back into her mouth.
After a long while, she pushed Lou Cheng away, flipped up her messy hair and said, "Let's talk about business! Business!"
"This is more important business." Lou Cheng replied with a low smile.
"Hmph!" Yan Zheke pursed his lips and turned his head, feeling happy, and handed over the bag in his hand, "Oh, it's for you!"
"It's something from the Nine-Character Jue?" Lou Cheng had guessed before.
"Well, my grandpa called back to Shushanzhai and asked someone to send him to Jiangnan." Yan Zheke had a "please praise me" expression on his face.
She didn't say she could get it so quickly just to give her boyfriend a surprise.
"Coach Yan is so good!" Lou Cheng was indeed delighted, but it was more out of emotion than surprise.
Opening the bag and looking through it, he found that it contained not only the nine-character formula map that had lost its essence and charm, but also handprints and other body secrets, as well as words and related notes written by generations of Shushan Zhai masters.
Each has its own charm and characteristics. Of course, if it can be presented to Yan Zheke, it must be a wrong practice.
For others, it is very difficult to distinguish the false from the real and find the useful parts, but for Lou Cheng, it is easy to use the golden elixir to verify it!
"How is it? Is it serious business?" Yan Zheke pursed his lips and raised his head.
"It's business. Didn't I mention it? It was more important business just now. You can't put the cart before the horse!" Lou Cheng raised his eyebrows deliberately.
"You are becoming more and more improper with your words!" Yan Zheke said angrily, but her eyes revealed unconcealable joy.
After practicing the daily content step by step, Lou Cheng glanced at the girl who was seriously practicing "Meteor Power", took out a stack of notes from the bag, studied them carefully, tried to visualize them, and made trial and error.
"Lin!" He clasped his hands in hand seals and outlined in his mind the nineteen different characters for "Lin" written by the seniors of Shushan Zhai.
He did not specifically complete the visualization, which would not take a day or two. He just grasped a little bit of the charm to see if it could resonate with the golden elixir.
The word "Lin" came out one by one, and the nebula in his lower abdomen remained the same slowly, with no abnormality.
By the time Lou Cheng finished sorting out the thick notes of "Lin" and "Dou", it was almost eight o'clock. He stopped to meditate, and left Houshui Lake from another direction with Yan Zheke, who had finished tempering, and ate
Had a round of breakfast.
"Chengzi, don't be too anxious. Don't rush to return these documents. Wait until my grandpa urges you." Yan Zheke comforted him at the door of the villa area.
Previously, she noticed that Lou Cheng had been trying again and again, fearing that he would be too impatient and go astray.
"Don't worry, I have a destiny with Nine Character Jue." Lou Cheng joked.
After returning home and taking a hot bath, he continued his journey of trial and error, and eliminated the meanings of the "Ji", "Zhen" and "Lie" formulas that his predecessors had deduced one by one.
.
Although he still didn't gain much, he was not disappointed. With the mistakes made by the predecessors of Shushanzhai and the lessons learned, he could also follow this path and make inferences to obtain the charm. However, he had to
It took several years or more.
Pulling out the last stack of notes, he calmed down and threw himself into practice again.
"OK!"
"OK!"
"OK!"
The ancient pronunciation came out in his mouth, and his handprints gradually became familiar. When Lou Cheng tried the word "Xing" inferred by Wu Qiao, the current owner of Shushan Zhai, the bright nebula in his body suddenly accelerated its rotation and caused ripples.
Among the "water waves", "ice crystal" and "big sun" connected together to form more than a hundred ancient characters, surrounded by a big word "行" that was as fast as the wind!
Got it! Lou Cheng was overjoyed, suppressed his excitement, tried again and again, imprinted the essence and charm of the word "行" in Jindan in his mind, and wrote down the more than a hundred ancient characters one by one.
Add to the notebook.
The "Xing" formula is used internally to train the legs and feet, and externally to increase speed. It is a perfect match with the "Beifeng" footwork I just learned!
Not bad, not bad, we have obtained four of the nine-character formulas, nearly half of them!
…………
Early the next morning, by Houshui Lake.
"How is it? Have you realized anything?" Yan Zheke asked casually.
Lou Cheng cleared his throat, formed mudra, moved his abdomen, vibrated his vocal cords, exhaled and said:
"OK!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already jumped out. The high-speed friction tore through the airflow, stirring up a sound of wind and thunder in the silent place.
Is this the secret to practicing the word "行"?
I just gave him the information yesterday!
Moreover, it is still a wrong summary of information, not a specific cultivation method!
Yan Zheke's eyes were blank, and her pink lips opened a little, almost forming an O-shape.
Coach Yan also enjoyed Coach Shi’s treatment...
"I've just mastered the 'Xing' formula. I don't have any other skills for the time being. I think it will be difficult to master in a few years." Lou Cheng chuckled and said modestly.
"You and the Nine-Character Jue are really destined..." After hearing his words, Yan Zheke came back to his senses and said half-bewildered and half-sighed.
I really want to go up and take a bite of the orange to see if he is still human!
Seeing the girl's expression as if she was grinding her teeth, Lou Cheng coughed and said, "I'll go back and try to see if I can imitate the charm of the word 'Xing' so that you can practice it and get it back to Shushan Zhai."
, Well, if I can do it, I would like to exchange the 'Xing' character formula to try to get my masters and others to agree that I teach you the 'Zhe' character formula, which will be of great benefit to your body..."
Listening to his ramblings, the surprise in Yan Zheke's eyes faded, and brilliance appeared.
"Okay~" she replied with a slight smile.
This time I don’t want to bite the orange, I want to kiss him...
In the next few days, Lou Cheng bought ink, a brush and good paper, and wrote the word "行" over and over again, trying to imprint on the words the feeling of speed and wind he had realized.
After failing again and again and wasting stacks of paper, before the end of the winter vacation, he finally grasped the true meaning and method, writing while visualizing.
As I started to write, the word "行" gradually came into being, and there was a sudden wind in the room, blowing away the waste paper next to it.
Lou Cheng put away his brush and stared at the end of the paper. He saw the word "行" full of ancient meaning, as if transformed by the wind!
Alas, my own understanding is still far behind. I am afraid that it is only one-tenth of the real "Xing" formula, but it is enough for Keke to master the basics... He looked at the calendar with emotion.
There are only two days left before the leisurely winter vacation ends.
But before that, there was still something I had not done.
…………
The next afternoon, with the help of Director Xing Chengwu and Xing, he went to the prison a hundred kilometers away and met Wang Xu in the reception room.
Wang Xu was wearing a gray prison uniform, with a bald head, slight scars on his cheeks, and a sentimental expression.
"How's it going? Are you okay?" Lou Cheng spoke first.
"It's good. Director Xing said hello. The bosses in the cell took good care of me and no one bullied me." Wang Xu replied happily.
He has seen the methods used by those gangsters to deal with other people.
Speaking of this, Wang Xu recalled the past and said with a wry smile: "I really regret not listening to you. If I had left Le Ye and the others earlier, I might have bought a house and married a wife by now."
"If you behave well, maybe I will be released before I graduate from college. I will still be young and be able to do anything well by then," Lou Cheng said with relief.
"Yeah." Wang Xu took a breath and nodded.
The two of them didn't have many words in common. Lou Cheng talked about things in the community and planned to say goodbye. When leaving, he asked again with concern:
"You don't look too good. There are heavy dark circles under your eyes. Are you sick?"
"No, I just can't sleep well. I keep thinking about what happened that day and always have nightmares." Wang Xu's eyes still had the original fear, "You can sleep well if you take sleeping pills, but you can't sleep well if you don't take them."
Lou Cheng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the guard guard next to him and said:
"Do you have ink, paper and pen? If not, ink and paper will do."
The police officer who received the instruction did not refuse and said enthusiastically: "I'll have someone look for her."
"What do you want to write?" Wang Xu asked doubtfully.
"Draw a talisman for you." Lou Cheng replied half-jokingly.
"Uh..." Wang Xu became more and more puzzled.
After a while, another police officer came over with ink and white paper.
Lou Cheng unfolded the white paper, stretched out his finger, dipped it in ink, then closed his eyes, and sketched in his mind the ancient words of "Never Go Back" to suppress negative emotions!
Using his fingers to make a brush, dragons and phoenixes danced, and an ancient character "qian" appeared on the paper and appeared in front of Wang Xu's eyes.
"Hang it in the cell and read it for five minutes before going to bed." Lou Cheng took the paper and wiped his fingers.
"Can it be useful?" Although Wang Xu felt that that word made him feel at ease, he still felt that something like a Taoist priest drawing a talisman was unbelievable.
"Anyway, there's no loss in trying." Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
"Yes." Wang Xu nodded obediently.
At night, Wang Xu hung the word "front" on the bedside, read it carefully for ten minutes, and then fell asleep.
The next morning, when the first ray of light shone into the cell, he opened his eyes and woke up naturally, feeling refreshed and refreshed.
He really wasn’t dreaming! Wang Xu sat up in astonishment and looked at the ink characters on the bedside that he didn’t recognize. He felt that it was mysterious and powerful!
