Chapter 24: Teaching the Exercises
Huang Haotian's coma did not change Tianzihao's daily life in the slightest, just like a stone falling into a lake, which may be able to stir up a little waves, but it can't change anything, and he will return to calm after a while. The 'extra meal' was still going on normally, the fighting of the prisoners was inevitable, and it was another morning of bloodshed.
In the afternoon, it's time for people to trade with each other. Some people exchange half a steamed bun for protection, and some people exchange a steamed bun for cigarettes from others, here, there is no concept of money, or steamed bread is the money here. In fact, the most expensive is not these, you know, many of these people also have families, maybe the prisoners are cruel to others, but family members still occupy a large part of their hearts, and it is often in this kind of place that they can feel the preciousness of family affection. So here, 3 steamed buns can only talk to their families once, and even so, many people are happy to do it.
Perhaps in the eyes of most people, there is only one steamed bun a day, and even their own food and clothing are not enough, how can there be extra to trade. As everyone knows, those powerful people will let their subordinates hand over half of the steamed buns, so that they can protect the remaining half of them without worrying about being robbed. In this way, those who are weak will not be so easily starved to death. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are no accidents in the Tianzihao.
Gradually, the day passed, and before they knew it, the time was still in the evening, and the cold moonlight shone in every district, bringing them a little brightness.
Finally, Huang Haotian woke up. At this time, Huang Haotian looked extremely weak, he only ate half a steamed bun in two days, he suffered a heavy blow today, if it weren't for his physique that ordinary people can compare, he would have been unable to hold on. Now he is just barely waking up, and he doesn't have the slightest strength to move his body.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a kind old man with a smile on his face, looking at him affectionately. The tickles of time had drawn traces of vicissitudes on his face, and the messy white hair was fluffy and dirty. In Huang Haotian's eyes, this old man's smile had a different meaning, and what made Huang Haotian even more unbearable was that his hand was still caressing Huang Haotian's face. If he hadn't felt the kindness of the old man towards him, he would have thought that this person was some kind of pervert.
The old man noticed that Huang Haotian had woken up, and the hand he had been stroking had been withdrawn, but the smile on his face was still there.
'You... Be... Who's Huang Haotian said these words with difficulty, he wanted to know what was going on.
You don't have to talk much, I'll tell you. The old man said.
'Yesterday you and the old ghost were both defeated, but I saved you, and you don't have to thank me. I'd just like to ask you a question: Did you learn what was on that stone map? Don't try to deceive me, I can see if you're telling the truth, and there's no need for you to lie to me, maybe it will do you good. ’
Hearing this, Huang Haotian suddenly couldn't calm down, in his heart, that stone map was his biggest secret, and no one told him. I thought that I was the only person who knew this, but I didn't expect that now the old man could see him at a glance and accurately say the stone map, which made him not feel uneasy.
He wanted to deny it, after all, he didn't know the old man yet. Huang Haotian is not the kind of person who easily trusts others, and his long-term loneliness has made him take the initiative to stay away from strangers, and he will not communicate with others at all, not to mention that this is Tianzihao. But he seemed to see a golden light shoot out of the old man's eyes, hitting him in the heart, as if he could see through everything about him.
At this time, Huang Haotian knew that he couldn't deceive the person in front of him. He had to nod slightly, indicating that the old man's guess was right.
After getting Huang Haotian's confirmation, the old man was even more difficult to restrain himself, and laughed, causing the entire cell to look at him with a dissatisfied face, and told him to be quiet. But the old man did not pay attention to these reactions, but intensified his efforts, not only laughing, but also standing up and dancing, like a madman. When the prisoners saw such an old man, they shook their heads helplessly, and then ignored them.
'Be quiet. His laughter finally provoked the displeasure of the prison guards, who banged on the iron door in warning.
At this time, the old man stopped laughing and dancing, and sat awkwardly beside Huang Haotian. And then he said, 'I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. Well, I'll tell you a story. ’
Then the old man fell into deep thought, remembering the past.
'60 years ago, I was still a full lengtou green, at that time I was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and wanted to go out by myself to create my own power. I'm not bad, I formed my own force, and I also made a name for myself. As everyone knows, I was young and frivolous, and unintentionally, I offended a powerful force. At that time, I was not able to compete with him, and finally my brother died tragically, and I fled everywhere like a lost dog. ’
On my way to H City, I passed a large mountain, and on the top of the mountain, I saw an incomparably huge stone with a diagram of a person's human body meridians drawn on it. Speaking of this, the old man turned his head and said to Huang Haotian, "If I am not mistaken, you have been there too." ’
Huang Haotian nodded.
At first, I didn't care what it was, I just leaned back and rested. Then, I noticed that there seemed to be some air flow between the meridians, and I was very curious, so I looked at the diagram carefully, but in the end I didn't see anything. So I was ready to continue walking, and just as I was leaving, a scene that I will never forget appeared. Speaking of this, the old man suddenly looked respectful and adoring.
I saw a puff of white smoke drifting out of the stone, slowly turning into an old man with a wind fairy and bones. Yes, you heard it right, it's the smoke that turns into people. I was even more shocked than you at the time, I saw it firsthand. The old man said to me: You and I have no fate, but we will meet each other today, pass on the skills and Fa, hope that they will protect their lives, and if we meet someone who is destined, teach them to each other. With that, the wisp of white smoke dissipated. And where it dissipated, it left behind an old book of withered yellow. And with that book, I soon slew back and slew all my enemies. ’
It wasn't long before I was the number one leader in the country. It's a pity, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Many Fang super forces learned that I had a set of exercises and began to covet it, and among them, there were even army forces. Hahaha, I can't think of it! Even the country is afraid of me. But how could I let them get their wish, under that encirclement and suppression, I beheaded dozens of their Earth Extreme Realm Perfection Masters in a row, and in the end, it was the National Teacher, a Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouse, who took me down. I've been here for 40 years. ’
Then why don't you give them and exchange the exercises for your freedom. Huang Haotian said suspiciously.
'To them?'Hmph, dream, those little people, I'd rather rot in my stomach than tell them. As for the reason, you'll know later. I thought that I would never meet that person in my life, but I didn't expect that the day before yesterday, I felt a little familiar, but I wasn't sure. And yesterday, I was sure that you were the one who was destined. ’
'I'm destined for someone?' Huang Haotian thought in his heart: Could it be that he felt it yesterday when I used my true qi?
'Yes, it's you, you've learned what the stone map is, right? The old man affirmed. Huang Haotian was not allowed to answer, the old man continued
'Okay, I won't tell you more, I don't have much time left, and then it's time for me to complete my task, and forget about it. Listen carefully..................'
The old man began to narrate the content of the exercises to Huang Haotian, and from time to time he got up and showed Huang Haotian with his weak body. The old man was not afraid of being seen by others in front of so many people, because if this set of exercises did not have the assistance of the ground gas on the stone map, it would be no different from the generally strong super exercises, and he would not be able to learn anything with just one or two moves he showed.
Huang Haotian, who was lying down, was very excited in his heart, all along, he was worried about having no exercises, he had no strength, and there was nowhere to release. Now, there happens to be a set of exercises that are integrated with oneself to learn, how can it not be excited.
Huang Haotian began to look at it seriously, learn it seriously, he is a genius, and he has the ability to never forget, after the old man patiently taught him, Huang Haotian memorized all the knowledge.
'Okay, that's the complete exercise just now, I'll start handing it over to you little by little. You ready. After finishing the exercises, the old man said to Huang Haotian.
'No, I've learned it all. Huang Haotian said confidently.
'Okay, I'm going to ...... What, you have already learned?' Originally, the old man was about to start talking about the first form, but suddenly reacted to what Huang Haotian said, and then said in disbelief. You know, it took nearly three months to memorize the basics, and it took a full decade to become proficient. Now that Huang Haotian had learned it in such an instant, this made the old man feel devastated, and he felt that Huang Haotian was lying to him.
'I didn't lie to you, I really learned, I was born to never forget, and this exercise is just right for me, and it is somewhat consistent with the flow of true qi in my body, so maybe I learned it quickly. Although Huang Haotian learned it in a while, which sounded a little appalling, you must know that he had been studying this since he was a child, and he practiced it when he was a child when he had no true qi. Now these exercises are just some explanations and changes on the basis of that, and the martial arts skills, what is the difficulty of some movements of Huang Haotianji, who has never forgotten them.
No wonder you say that you are destined, it seems that if this is the case, I am afraid that I will not have enough time to teach you, it seems that I am too worried. The old man shook his head and smiled.
Hearing that the old man seemed to have something to say, Huang Haotian asked, "What is not enough time, are you ......?"
You're right, I'm nearing the end of my time, I feel it, and it's not long before that. The old man smiled, as if he had seen through life and death, "You don't have to worry, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and now my wish has been fulfilled, and there are no regrets." The rest is up to you, I won't help you anymore, your path needs to go on your own. After speaking, he left, leaving Huang Haotian alone.
