Chapter 20: Lovers of Ancient Martial Arts

The next day happened to be the weekend.

Chen Yuan got up early in the morning, left the rented house, rode a psychic shared bicycle, and went to the "Riverside Park" a few kilometers away to practice the use of spiritual power.

The college entrance examination review plan has been drawn up, and the "use of spiritual power" is the top priority and must be won.

In the case of the lack of luck methods, only by doing our best and spending as much time as possible to practice the "Five Fowl Opera" can we improve our physique as soon as possible and improve the results of "spiritual power utilization".

Through this period of continuous cultivation, his "Five Fowl Opera" has been greatly improved, not only the speed and quantity of absorbing spiritual energy have increased rapidly, but the efficiency of refining his physique is also much higher than usual.

Although a small rented house can also ensure normal cultivation, the cultivation efficiency is far less than that of the outdoors, where the aura of heaven and earth is more intense.

In order to ensure that his physique could be improved to the greatest extent within a month, Chen Yuan decisively decided to go out to cultivate and improve his efficiency.

After riding for less than ten minutes, Chen Yuan came to the "Riverside Park".

Park your psionic bike on the side of the road and walk towards the park gate.

Just after seven o'clock in the morning, there were already a lot of people who had come to cultivate in the "Riverside Park".

As far as the eye can see, some are in groups of three or five, learning martial arts, some are alone, sitting there breathing, breathing, and a group of middle-aged and elderly aunts are in groups, choreographing some simple martial arts moves into dances, dancing with the melody of movements, so lively.

The aunts twirled and jumped, and Chen Yuan closed his eyes.

The ancient Chinese culture of the 21st century, "square dance", has been able to be passed down for more than 500 years, and its vitality is really amazing.

Walking into the gate, Chen Yuan followed the bluestone-paved path towards the depths of the park.

After a while, I found a secluded place, looked around, and saw an old man practicing there under the shade of a tree not far away.

The old man was about seventy years old, wearing a plain white practice uniform, his hair was gray, but he looked full of red light and was in good spirits.

His legs are slightly bent, his steps are steady and solid, his hands are high and low, hanging in the middle of his body, as if he is holding the ball, negligently making moves, and his moves are both rigid and soft, and the virtual and real are clear.

Chen Yuan watched him fight for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Tai Chi?"

The boxing method played by the old man is the inner boxing method "Taijiquan" in ancient Chinese martial arts.

It's a pity that this set of Tai Chi doesn't look complete, and the old man is a little less coherent in fighting, and there are a few lines of flowing water, light and elegant.

Seeing that the old man didn't notice it, he was playing very seriously, and Chen Yuan didn't want to step forward to interrupt, so he simply found the shade of a tree where no one was around, and if there was no one else, he started the "Five Birds Play".

is very different from when he first started practicing, Chen Yuan practiced the "Five Fowl Opera" at this time, and he was already quite proficient.

In just a moment, the aura from all directions was attracted by him, forming small cyclones around him, swirling and pouring into his body.

Under the washing and refining of the aura, Chen Yuan only felt that his whole body was refreshed, and the various functions of his body were constantly strengthened.

Not far away, the old man was concentrating on playing "Tai Chi", and when he glanced at the vicinity coldly, his pupils immediately shrank.

I saw a young man, who was practicing under the shade of a tree not far away, and his body was in various strange postures, suddenly resembling a tiger, suddenly resembling a bird, and suddenly resembling a giant bear, and I couldn't help but be very curious.

Immediately stopped punching and leaned in the direction of the boy.

After a while, when he came closer, he instantly felt that the aura fluctuations around this young man were far better than other places, and his heart was even more suspicious.

After carefully watching the other party's moves, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "This ...... This turned out to be the long-lost 'Ancient Martial Arts' five-bird play?!"

“...... Huh?"

Chen Yuanzheng was concentrating on practicing when he suddenly heard someone talking around him, so he quickly stopped practicing and looked around.

I saw the white-haired old man who was doing Tai Chi standing a few meters away, looking at himself with a pair of cloudy eyes.

Chen Yuanluo saluted and said with a slight smile: "Old man, you have seen a smile, how can the 'Five Fowl Opera' be worthy of the words 'Ancient Martial Arts Skill'." ”

The old man didn't answer, his eyes still swept around Chen Yuan without any scruples, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

After a while, he slowly retracted his gaze and sighed: "I Gu someone has studied ancient martial arts all his life, but I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to see the lost 'Five Fowl Opera' reappear in the world, I really died without regrets!"

"Oh?" Chen Yuan heard him say this, and instantly became interested.

In today's era, "ancient martial arts" are declining, and "new martial arts" are in vogue.

In the No. 3 Municipal Middle School, not to mention ordinary students, even teachers and principals, they all practice "new martial arts".

Now, when he met a "fellow practitioner" who was obsessed with "ancient martial arts", he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked, "Could it be ...... The old gentleman is an 'ancient warrior'?"

When the old man surnamed Gu heard Chen Yuan ask, his old face couldn't help but turn red, he waved his hand, and sighed: "The old man is just interested in 'ancient martial arts', but as for becoming an 'ancient martial artist', he doesn't have that blessing." ”

"It turned out to be a theoretical ......" Chen Yuan glanced at the old man and thought to himself.

Gu Lao coughed twice and asked, "Please forgive the old man for being presumptuous, dare to ask who is Xiaoyou's surname, and who is the master?"

Chen Yuan hurriedly stopped and replied: "My name is Chen Yuan, and I am in the third year of high school in the Municipal No. 3 Middle School, as for the master...... Not really. ”

Chen Yuan...... Municipal No. 3 Middle School ......"

Gu Lao repeated it a few times, suddenly his eyes flashed, and he raised his head and said: "Old man remembers, is it the 'civil and military champion' who broke the quality inspection and test record of Linjiang Wuke and was specially recruited by Linjiang University?"

Chen Yuan nodded and asked curiously, "The old gentleman also knows about me?"

Gu Lao slightly bowed his head, a faint hint of mystery flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, the old man's surname is Gu, and he is an old scholar in this little Linjiang City, and he naturally knows a little about the affairs of the education world. Chen Yuan Xiaoyou is so amazing at a young age, and he won the school's 'civil and military champion', which really makes the old man deeply admired. ”

Gu Lao said seriously. ”

Listening to the other party calling himself an "old pedant" and knowing quite a bit about his own situation, Chen Yuan didn't dare to slack off, bowed slightly, and said with a light smile: "'Champion of Civil and Military Affairs' is just a false name, liberal arts and martial arts are all-encompassing, broad and profound, and there are still many places where students are deficient, so I dare not claim to be 'amazing'." ”

"Xiaoyou is really humble," Gu Lao laughed and said, "Even such an unfathomable ancient martial arts method as 'Five Fowl Opera' can be practiced by you, how can you not afford the words 'amazing talent'?"

"Unpredictable?" Chen Yuan was stunned, and didn't seem to understand what the other party meant.

But seeing Gu Lao, he sighed, and continued: "Hundreds of years ago, the world changed dramatically, and in the midst of catastrophes, in order to protect the family and defend the country, my ancient Chinese martial arts powerhouses went nine out of ten, and very few survived, and after several centuries, the inheritance was on the verge of being cut off. In today's world, 'new martial arts' are in vogue, and there are very few young people who are willing to work hard to practice 'ancient martial arts'. People like Xiaoyou who are willing to practice ancient martial arts and can practice a certain reputation are even rarer, and it is very rare. ”

"How does this old man know that I have practiced a certain degree of fame, just by relying on him to see how many tricks I have played the 'Five Fowl Play'?" Chen Yuan looked suspicious, and felt more and more that the old man in front of him was probably not so simple.

Gu Lao looked at Chen Yuan, the smile in his eyes became even more mysterious, he lengthened his voice, and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, Xiaoyou absorbed 95 units of aura in the quality inspection test of Wuke City?"

"Yes. Chen Yuan was blunt.

"That's right. Gu Lao smiled faintly: "When Lao Yu just learned about this achievement, he already expected that the winner of this score must be an ancient martial artist who has achieved cultivation!"

"What...... What?" Listening to what Gu Lao said categorically, Chen Yuan had deeper doubts in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"It's simple. Gu Lao looked at him with his eyes and said word by word: "Because...... With the cultivation method of 'New Martial Arts', it is impossible for people to absorb more than 90 units of spiritual energy, 90 units is the upper limit of all new martial artists who can absorb spiritual energy at the high school level, and it is also an insurmountable limit!"

"90 units...... Is it the limit of the 'new martial artist' in high school?" Hearing this statement for the first time, Chen Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that Chen Yuan listened very seriously, Gu Lao nodded and said eloquently:

"The development of martial arts has long since deteriorated. Although the 'New Martial Arts' is popular all over the world, it abandons the traditional cultivation method of gradual progress in the past, and attempts to change the basic laws of martial arts advancement with the help of external forces. ”

"The so-called new martial arts is nothing more than relying on drugs to help people refine their physique, awaken their bloodlines, open the genetic lock, and then greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the warriors by equipping the" psionic weapons ", in the end, it is to use the" external force " to forcibly transform the human body and genes , this 'external force' was a kind of help at the beginning, but later, it has become a dependence that cannot be shaken off. It can be said that today's 'new warriors' are not so much 'warriors' as a group of 'genetic warriors' catalyzed by emerging technologies. ”

"After hundreds of years of development, the group of 'New Martial Arts' has developed rapidly, and with the help of modern technology, it has reached a short-term strategic balance with the invaders of the other world, but very few people can realize that every human individual who cultivates 'New Martial Arts' is actually rapidly degrading!"

The more Chen Yuan listened, the more mysterious he became, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Old Gu...... That's kind of ......."

"It's a bit unbelievable, isn't it?" Gu Lao finished speaking for Chen Yuan, and laughed dryly, "Whether you believe it or not, you might as well remember what I said, it's a blessing to be able to practice 'ancient martial arts', and the 'new martial arts' thing, it's okay to practice well, if you don't practice well, not only will you not be able to get ahead, but you may also lose your longevity, and you may even have a small life." ”

"This is too exaggerated...... said," Chen Yuan frowned.

"Exaggeration?" Gu Lao sighed lightly and said, "This is similar to the allusion principle of our ancient Huaxia Kingdom's 'pulling seedlings to grow'. Human beings, a species, have been reproducing for hundreds of thousands of years and have long formed their own inherent growth laws. The emergence of the 'new martial arts' has forcibly destroyed this law and overdrawn the potential of the human body, unless it is practiced to the A or S level, with the help of extremely rare life drugs to increase longevity, otherwise, it will ...... Hey......"

Speaking of this, he sighed again, as if he remembered something from the past, and said quietly: "I think back then, I had a colleague at Linjiang University, just because I was obsessed with 'new martial arts'......"

"Wait......" Hearing this, Chen Yuan interrupted: "Old Gu, do you mean that you are a teacher at Linjiang University?"
