57. Refining the body
By all means, Ling Long finally succeeded in coaxing Miss Xu Mengyao back to sleep.
By the moonlight, Ling Long looked at the dark red lines on his arms, and his heart was panicked and uneasy...... In this lonely night, nothing has changed in the world, except that the person who has insomnia is now replaced by him.
"Let's go find Professor Hao Xin tomorrow...... Maybe she knows something about ability patterns......"
Ling Long's mind flowed, but when he turned around, he felt that something was wrong, according to Xu Mengyao and Mao Ye, this ability pattern seemed to belong to scientific research secrets, and Hao Xin belonged to the scientific research institution of S City......
"They're not going to arrest me and interrogate me, ......are they?"
Thinking of this, Ling Long felt his head big for a while, so he simply lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate, and with the rustle of the leaves rubbing in the breeze outside the window, he gradually fell asleep......
In the early morning of the second day, Ling Long rubbed his eyes and saw that Xu Mengyao's door was wide open, he quickly got up to look, but found that it was empty.
"I really ran away!"
Ling Long put on his coat and was about to go out, but during the preparation, he saw a petite and beautiful figure moving gracefully outside the house through the window.
At this moment, Xu Mengyao was dressed in a white loose practice uniform, her long and supple hair was tied into a ponytail and fell behind her, and as her movements stretched, she saw her punching and kicking, kicking and lifting, and every action was beautiful and solid.
"Do you wake up so early every day?"
Ling Long sat on the steps outside the house, looking at Xu Mengyao's novel moves.
Seeing Ling Long get up, Xu Mengyao also put away her posture and walked over to sit beside him: "Who is like you, lazy pig!"
Ling Long smiled awkwardly and asked, "Is the set of punches you just fought the secret technique of your Xu family?"
"It's just a frame to strengthen the body, and long-term training can improve physical function and make your reflexes a little faster. Xu Mengyao went back to the house and took a glass of water and took a sip, "It can also be regarded as the basic training of Yin and Yang Escape." ”
"Isn't it possible for someone from the Xu family to practice?"
Xu Mengyao put down the water glass and smiled slightly: "Do you want to learn?"
In fact, Ling Long just asked casually, his small body is weak, and his physical strength can barely reach the level of a normal person, if this set of exercises can really play a role in strengthening the body, then there is nothing wrong with practicing.
"If you want to study, you can pay the tuition. ”
Xu Mengyao stretched out his hand: "Ten copper beard coins." ”
"Why don't you just grab it?" Ling Long subconsciously opened his mouth to reply, but found that the words were not prepared, "Oh yes, you haven't robbed ...... either"
Xu Mengyao glanced at her: "This stalk can't get by, right?"
Ling Long pointed to a bag of Qiankun beans in the room: "Such a big bag is only one copper beard coin, you just ask me to ask for ten when you open your mouth?" Sister, are you used to it, this money is not as easy to earn as you think!"
"Don't learn...... Xu Mengyao went back to the house to change her clothes angrily, leaving Ling Long alone to make trouble.
However, before participating in the Heavenly Punishment Battle, Ling Long was definitely eager to learn and practice with Xu Mengyao, not to mention whether this set of boxing techniques was lethal or not, it was also excellent to be able to increase some physical strength, at least the endurance was guaranteed when escaping, and the space for survival could be larger.
Back in the house, the two of them each ate a Qiankun bean, and Xu Mengyao pouted: "It's too unpalatable!"
"Bear with it!"
Ling Long looked at her angrily: "No matter how unpalatable it is, grandma you begged me to buy it!"
After a simple wash, Ling Long was about to go and talk to Liu Lao at the bookstall for a chat, although he looked like a man all day long, he was also the most well-informed person in Ling Long's circle of friends.
"Why are you going?"
Seeing that Ling Long was getting dressed and was about to go out, Xu Mengyao also picked up her coat: "I'll go too." ”
After thinking about it, Ling Long didn't refuse, after all, his house was too dilapidated, and there was a noisy garbage station next to it, so it was really inappropriate to leave a little girl alone at home.
Xu Mengyao was not idle along the way, and she still asked Ling Long to buy herself a string of sugar gourds before she stopped.
When he came to the bookstall , Liu Lao was still wearing his reading glasses and sitting on the rocking chair with a fake and serious appearance.
"Lao Liu!"
Ling Long shouted and walked to the bookshelf, Xu Mengyao's eyes were attracted by the various old martial arts novels on the stall.
"Oh! this beauty is ......."
Liu Lao directly ignored Ling Long, and walked to Xu Mengyao's side after three steps and two steps: "This beauty is heroic and sassy at first glance, it is better to let the old man help you take the pulse and see if that martial arts mastery is more suitable for you!"
Xu Mengyao looked at the tall thin old man with cold eyes, and the fist in her right hand seemed to be on guard.
"Get out of the way!" Ling Long saw that this old man actually dared to beat Xu Mengyao's idea, and hurriedly pulled him aside, "Looking for you to have something to do!"
"You kid collects rags every day, what's the matter!"
As Liu Lao cursed, Ling Long slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the corner of the ability engraving pattern.
"Have you ever seen this pattern?"
Pushing his eyes, Liu Lao gasped: "You kid didn't study well, went out to get a tattoo?"
Ling Long gritted his teeth with hatred, so he had to pull down his sleeves to cover the lines.
"I awakened an ability a while ago, it seems to be activated with my eyes, you know a lot of knowledge, do you know what kind of ability this belongs to?"
Ling Long changed the topic and secretly said that this old man didn't have anything serious in his mind for a day.
"Eyes?" Liu Lao pushed his glasses again, looking at Ling Long, his expression seemed to have lost the joy he had before.
"This ......," Ling Long raised and pointed to his left eye.
"Oops...... It's about glasses...... I know a thing or two, but it's rare for one eye to be used as a medium of ability......" Liu Lao touched the goatee on his chin, and seemed a little confused.
"I'm a clairsee ability, and I'm an ability that uses body parts as a medium, but most of the things like me are mostly activated with both eyes...... For example, Eagle Eye, Night Vision, Laser, Light Reflection, etc., these abilities are all support types. ”
"I seem to have a weird ability...... And once activated, it will also eat itself......" Ling Long listened to him talk about a lot of abilities, but it seemed that they were not the same as those he had awakened.
"Oh?" Liu Lao seemed to be a little interested, "Let's hear what your ability effect is." ”
After looking around left and right and seeing no miscellaneous people, Ling Long secretly whispered in his ear: "Time stands still!"
"What!"
Liu Lao was startled, and his glasses almost fell to the ground.
