The hot air was very overbearing. Xiao Jiang felt like two red-hot iron wires passing through his muscles. He wanted to open his mouth, but it was as if his mouth was glued and could not be opened or closed. At this moment, the old man behind him
said:
"To calm down and calm down, I will open up your meridians. Although it will be a little painful, it will be like washing your essence and marrow. You can hold it back."
Xiao Jiang's head felt a little exhausted. Isn't that what happens in martial arts stories when the meridians are opened? Could it be that he has traveled to the martial arts world now?
But now he didn't have time to think about everything in detail. The heart-wrenching pain caused his muscles all over his body to twitch. Sweat came out of all his pores, and even his hair became wet in a few seconds.
The pain was excruciating, but Xiao Jiang could feel the old man's kindness. The valley was under a cliff, and the old man could not leave with Xiao Jiang. For more than ten years, Xiao Jiang had spent most of his time reading and playing games except for certain physical exercises.
His body and bones are much worse than his father's. If he wants to leave, he has to develop his skills.
You can practice martial arts by opening up your muscles and veins, at least this is what the martial arts world requires. Xiao Jiang has seen it a lot, and he knows that at this time he can only endure it, no matter how painful it is, he has to endure it.
"Kakaka..."
The sound of the continuous pulling of the meridians was like thunder. The pain of opening up the meridians and acupuncture points is probably known to women who have given birth naturally. The continuous pain continued to erupt throughout the body, and the veins on Xiao Jiang's forehead bulged and the whole body was steaming. After a while,
He has fallen into a semi-conscious state.
His body was overwhelmed, but his consciousness did not understand that he must persist. Xiao Jiang felt the pain of a woman when she became a mother for the first time. He gritted his teeth and persisted. After an unknown period of time, he felt a rumbling sound in his mind.
The old man behind him said okay, and Xiao Jiang relaxed and fainted.
"Kakaka..."
A sound of objects rolling to the ground echoed in the cave. Xiao Jiang opened his eyes and sat up suddenly. Suddenly he felt as if he had lost a hundred pounds. He jumped up with a roar, and his head was about to hit the hole.
He hurriedly raised his hand and clapped it upward to stop his suicidal movement.
"Snapped."
In the sound, Xiao Jiang's palm actually broke a piece of stone as wide as a sea bowl, and the person fell to the ground.
An inexplicable surprise came to mind, and these two words, internal strength, kept echoing. He hurriedly looked at the old man sitting beside him and shouted:
"Grandpa, I have internal strength...you...you, grandpa...you..."
Xiao Jiang, who was originally very happy, suddenly became nervous. He stared at the motionless old man for a moment, then put his fingers on the man's neck and pressed gently.
With no pulse and cold muscles, Xiao Jiang knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted:
"Grandpa...why are you doing this?"
Looking at the old man's body, Xiao Jiang couldn't help but shed tears. He didn't know where he was. The old man who saved him lost his life in order to let him leave and help him open his meridians. Although Xiao Jiang was a naughty and self-righteous modern young man.
, but his kind side made him understand how he would not be sad if the old man gave his life to help him.
After a while, Xiao Jiang suddenly saw a white cloth with writing on it and a package on the stone table beside him. He took the white cloth and took a look. The writing on it was all in ancient regular script. Fortunately, his father was fine and let him go.
Practice calligraphy to recognize ancient Chinese characters, otherwise he will be stumped by these traditional Chinese characters.
As for why his father asked him to do these things that ordinary people don't do, Xiao Jiang is not too sure. Anyway, there are many ancient medicine books in his family. Xiao Jiang was forced to carry thousands of gold prescriptions and other things since he was a child.
But his father is not an old Chinese medicine doctor but a vegetable farmer.
Xiao Jiang couldn't help but shed tears again when he looked at the words left by the old man on the white cloth. It turned out that the old man himself was a thief in the world, a ruthless and vicious person who only stole to enrich himself. Ten years ago, he broke into a sect and stole a thief.
The box was chased all the way and finally fell into the valley.
The old man didn't say his name, nor what sect he went to. He just explained that his martial arts were not even third-rate in the world, but his Qing Gong and Qianye Hands were top-notch.
Since he fell into the valley and broke his legs, he decided never to go out after finding this cave. After seeing Xiao Jiang, he felt that everything was God's will, so he decided to help Xiao Jiang open his meridians.
The old man does not ask Xiao Jiang for revenge, nor does he need him to do anything. He only hopes that he will not fall into evil ways after learning the martial arts he left behind.
After Xiao Jiang finished reading, he put away the white cloth. He wiped his tears and walked out of the cave. Below the cave, there was a stream that was no more than knee-high and slowly flowing. Countless fish and shrimps swam in the stream, and there were many long branches on both sides.
There are few small shrubs full of red fruits, and there are cliffs hundreds of meters high on both sides of the valley.
After watching blankly for a while, Xiao Jiang dug a pit with stones at the entrance of the cave, went into the hole, took out the old man's body and put it into it. Then he silently picked up many stones and built a small tomb.
After burying the old man, Xiao Jiang kowtowed three times to the grave and said:
"Grandpa, although Xiao Jiang doesn't have a chivalrous heart, nor can he be chivalrous and courageous, he will never do bad things, so don't worry."
After burying the old man, Xiao Jiang returned to the cave. It was already dusk at this time. Xiao Jiang took a burning stick in the fire pit and lit the grease torch on the wall. The cave became very bright amidst the crackling sound.
Only then did he open the package on the table.
"Jueying" and "Qianye Hand", these two secret books are just booklets with more than ten pages. Xiao Jiang looked through them first. Jueying is a light skill that mainly involves climbing over walls, hiding, dodging and escaping. Its speed is fast, cunning and agile.
Lord, the old man is a low-level martial artist. He has used this light skill to escape the pursuit of countless martial arts masters. He is very proud of this light skill.
Thousand-leaf hand, the simplest way to put it is that after practicing this technique, you can quickly find the one you want to get from a thousand fallen leaves.
As a technique mainly focused on thieves, Qianye's hand detection, pinching, wiping, and sliding are all performed at strange angles, and the moves are all out of sight of others, making them difficult to detect.
Chiba Hand is both a stealing technique and an offensive martial art, but the offensiveness is much worse. In addition, without high-end internal power to promote it, the old man is a low-level martial artist but a top thief.
After reading for a while, Xiao Jiang planned to start practicing these two techniques from tomorrow. As for his internal strength, it is the cultivation method in the Qianye Hand Secret Book. Although it is low-level, it can still be regarded as internal strength.
"Sigh... I don't know what the situation is like outside, but with my grandfather's skills, I can at least have some ability to save my life. I hope I can have a chance to become a strong man after I go out, and find a way to go home."
