After listening to Xu Yan's consultation, Zhu Youxiang frowned slightly and pondered silently.

After a long while, she said, "Xu Gongzi, I really can't explain this problem to you. In the enlightenment period, the cultivation time should not exceed three hours, and the operation week should not exceed thirty-six times, this is the teaching of my teacher to me back then, he said, this is because the meridians that have just been passed are still very fragile and need to be warmed and maintained, and should not be overloaded, so as not to be unable to bear it and cause damage.

The gentleman in Bailu Academy also said the same thing to me, and he said it almost the same as Shizun. Because I have never tried to run the meridian aura for a long time during the enlightenment period, now Xu Gongzi wants to ask me what are the shortcomings of this matter, I really can't say. However, since all the elders and seniors have said so, I think there must be some reason in it.

In the Ming cultivation realm, beginners should not run the meridians for a long time, this is a basic common sense, just like one plus one equals two, no one has ever asked why. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiang say this, Xu Yan suddenly became excited-common sense? The so-called common sense, that is for those with mediocre qualifications, and can you be the kind of gifted cultivation wizard? In front of genius, the so-called common sense is a fart!

That time, he didn't listen to Zhu Youxiang's lesson, and he unknowingly practiced for a full twenty-four hours, and in the end, there was no adverse reaction, but he cultivated to a great progress, and even Wen Xiuzhi mistook himself for a "master of internal strength" - therefore, Xu Yan was a little skeptical of Zhu Youxiang's statement, and he felt that Zhu Youxiang's cultivation plan for himself was too conservative.

In all the martial arts novels that Xu Yan has read, it is said that those who devote themselves to famous and decent families, follow the rules and follow the masters, and work hard to learn the arts, at most, they can come out and mix with second-rate characters and lead to death with a knife. They have absolutely no future, and in the end they can only set off the wisdom and strength of the protagonist.

And those rebellious Celestial Lone Stars. They can meet peerless masters by jumping off the cliff, learn the magic skills of the world, and go crazy to "Heaven and earth, Tai, Yin and Yang fusion, and break away the two veins of Ren Du", so they add a Jiazi skill. When a teenager comes out to walk the rivers and lakes, he can kill those grandmasters and masters who have "worked hard for 30 years" like dogs in seconds - think about it, how can Comrade Xu Yan, who grew up watching such martial arts novels since he was a child, have the patience to honestly follow Zhu Youxiang's plan and slowly practice for only three hours a day? The meridians are damaged, what is this, everyone has said that even if the meridians explode, they are not afraid, maybe they can help themselves accidentally become a primordial baby?

All in all, Xu Yan firmly believes that those who follow the rules and listen to the master's words will never be productive. Only those teenagers who do not follow the usual path can become masters at the pinnacle.

Xu Yan pondered, is this a shortcut he discovered? If you continue to cultivate, you will be able to make progress from now on, continuously break through the Qi Induction Period, Condense the Concentration Period, and practice Qi Period, and then soon surpass Zhu Youxiang to reach the Zhujin Dan Yuan Infant and then shatter the Void and soar to the Void Day?

Looking at Xu Yan's excited expression, Zhu Youxiang naturally knew what he was thinking, and she said lightly: "Childe." You don't feel anything abnormal now, maybe it's because your cultivation time isn't really very long, or maybe you've only tried it once, and the damage hasn't been done yet. The consequences have not yet appeared—"

She looked at Xu Yan squarely and said calmly, "Master Venerable once told me that there are many cultivators who are new to cultivating the true path. Always thinking about finding another way, always thinking about shortcuts, shortcuts. Regard the summary and experience of the seniors as a cliché, and always want to find another way to climb to the sky overnight.

The master said. These people are really stupid, those teachings and explanations in the sect are even the most superficial clichés, in order to sum up this lesson, I don't know how many cultivators have suffered a lot on this.

The path of cultivating the truth that we are taking now is already the path that countless predecessors have opened up through thorns and jungles, and even if this path is a little difficult, it is finally a path that has been proven to be able to be passed. The establishment of every cultivation method is based on the blood and tears of countless failed predecessors, and has been precipitated over the years. If someone thinks that he has good talent and does not take the road he can take, but insists on finding another way on the thorny road - such a person will be lucky enough to succeed in the end, but I am afraid that there is only one in ten thousand, and more people are greedy for that little bit of quick convenience, although the start is fast, but they have laid the wrong foundation, wasted their talent, and gone astray. Later, his cultivation progress would become slower and slower, stagnating, until Shou Yuan was exhausted, he still lingered in the low-level realm and could not break through, and at that time he realized that he regretted it. ”

When Zhu Youxiang said this, it was as if he was poking Xu Yan's forehead with his fingers, and he was ashamed: Yes, he actually thought that with his own intelligence, he could surpass the wisdom collection of talented people in the Ming Cultivation Realm for thousands of years? As soon as I stepped into the path of enlightenment, I began to doubt the teachings of the guide—what arrogance, what ignorance!

For a while, Xu Yan's face was red, and he really didn't know how to face Zhu Youxiang. Fortunately, at this time, there was one thing that attracted Zhu Youxiang's attention: a ladder fire truck rumbled into the factory.

Zhu Youxiang asked Xu Yan in surprise: "What is this car for?" ”

Xu Yan was glad that there was a topic that attracted Zhu Youxiang's attention, he knew Wen Xiuzhi's plan, and said: "This is probably going to use a ladder to send people up to the roof—they plan to open a hole in the roof and anesthetize and shoot the demon from the hole." ”

"Oh, that's probably Mr. Wen's idea, right? He thought about it quite thoroughly, even if the weapon was ineffective, the monster spirit would not be able to escape. ”

"Hehe, it's indeed Colonel Wen's idea."

At that moment, neither of them spoke, and watched as the rumbling ladder fire truck drove all the way to the edge of the warehouse, and then, a team of soldiers and policemen with weapons on their backs climbed up the ladder to the roof, but fortunately, the roof of this old-fashioned warehouse was flat, even if there were more than a dozen people standing on it. Someone was carrying a hammer drill, a sledgehammer and a drill for breaking the wall, and at that moment, a group of people stood on the roof and smashed holes with a bang.

What happened next, Xu Yan was a little puzzled: the soldiers looked around the hole on the top of the warehouse for a while. But I didn't see them do anything. After a while, an officer ran to the edge of the roof and shouted below. Because of the distance, Xu Yan couldn't hear what he was shouting. But Zhu Youxiang heard it clearly, and she told Xu Yan: "He is telling the people below that it is too dark in the warehouse to see anything clearly, and ask the people below to find a few powerful flashlights above." ”

The flashlight is a commonly used police equipment, so it is naturally not difficult to find, and the following quickly found the flashlight and sent it up. But things still didn't go well, and after more than ten minutes, there was no movement, and the commandos on the roof and the support personnel below were shouting back and forth. Fortunately, Xu Yan has Zhu Youxiang by his side to explain, and he finally understands what they are doing.

Zhu Youxiang told Xu Yan: "The people above used a flashlight to shine through the hole, but there were a lot of goods and sundries in the warehouse, and the murderer could not be found...... They asked for instructions on what to do. The command below is deliberating - oh, they've figured it out, and they're going to ask the people above to dig another hole in the rooftop and look for it...... Oh, they're starting to drill again......"

Xu Yan coughed dryly: "This, Xuan Yun, you don't have to tell me." I can still hear the sound of the percussion drill making holes. ”

Seeing the soldiers making holes in the roof from afar, Xu Yan was bored and couldn't help but ask her, "Xuan Yun." Do you think our operation will succeed this time? ”

Zhu Youxiang shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." This time, the monster spirit is very smart. If Mr. Wen is not careful, he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss. ”

"A very clever monster?" Xu Yan was taken aback: "Xuan Yun." It's also a monster spirit from the demon world, is it still smart or stupid? ”

"That's nature. The same is human. There are also smart and stupid, and there are naturally smart and stupid among monsters. ”

Xu Yan nodded: "This is also true." Then, Xuan Yun, how do you know that this monster spirit is very smart? ”

Zhu Youxiang said lightly: "Ordinary monster spirits only know how to kill and thirst for flesh and blood, and when they hear human voices and sounds, they will automatically rush out to shout and demonstrate; But this time, the soldier was burrowing in the roof, and such a loud noise could not draw the monster out, so it was obvious that it was hiding. ”

Xu Yan listened attentively and couldn't help but say, "You mean, that monster knows that this is here to destroy him, and it senses a threat, so it hides?" ”

"Hehe, Xu Gongzi, when you say this, you say that the monster is too clever - the intelligence of low-level monsters is similar to that of animals, they only have instinct, not wisdom.

In their eyes, human beings, even human soldiers, are not a threat, only food. This monster spirit has not seen the firearms and weapons of your earth soldiers and horses, and it has no fear at all, let alone dodge...... If I guess, this fang is hiding because the roof is too high, it can't go up, and it can't prey on the humans on the roof. So, it hides and waits for the humans on the roof to let their guard down, maybe it will come down on its own, and then it will rush out and kill. ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiang's narration, Xu Yan couldn't help but shudder - Zhu Youxiang's narration reminded Xu Yan of the crocodile played in the animal world. In order to hunt, the cunning crocodile can remain motionless for days on end, disguise itself as floating rotten log, wait for cattle and sheep to come and drink and then be fooled. Now, this monster's tactics are almost exactly the same as that of the crocodile.

In the next hour, under the spicy sun, the soldiers made three more holes in different positions on the roof, but the result was still the same, and the target was still not found.

By this time, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and the soldiers and policemen had not been able to eat, and many of them were hungry and exhausted. Many of the policemen who were guarding the perimeter secretly ran to sit in the shade of the trees and enjoy the shade.

The predetermined strategy was hampered, and the command had to begin urgently deliberating on countermeasures.

TOEFL Zhu Youxiang's magical ear power, she could even hear the discussion on the command side, she told Xu Yan: "The command department is arguing very much, and Mr. Wen is asking the fat official leader: 'Is the murderer still in the warehouse?' ’

The official was constantly wiping his sweat, and he didn't seem to have much self-confidence, but he still insisted that the official of Xiangcheng had been guarding the scene, and he himself was personally supervising the battle at the scene, and it was impossible for the murderer to escape...... Oh, at this time, someone next to me said that it was not good before the official arrived at the scene. Then the murderer has already escaped?

But there are people who object, saying that the door is always locked. Even if the police don't come, the murderer has nowhere to escape!

Someone else said. The discussion went back and forth to no avail, so just stop rubbing around, open the door, and go in and search. There are hundreds of troops and policemen here, fully equipped and well-armed, and even any monster can be completely dealt with, so why bother so much?

Mr. Moon didn't speak, his face was a little frightened - uh, he was angry. He yelled at the person who opened the door, scolded him very much, and scolded some ugly words, so it is inconvenient for me to repeat this to you. In the end, Mr. Wen got angry and ordered them to bring the life detector immediately, and he was going to search around the outer wall of the warehouse inch by inch, and he couldn't believe that he couldn't find the guy - Childe, excuse me. What is a Life Detector? ”

Zhu Youxiang looked at Xu Yan, her face full of doubts.

"Life detector", this thing, Xu Yan has often seen on TV news. Especially during the Wenchuan earthquake in Shuzhong a few years ago, the name of this thing was often heard in the news of disaster relief, saying that a rescue team relied on life detectors. The survivor who was buried in the ground for n days was found, and another life was saved.

Xu Yan scratched his head: "I don't understand this thing either." I've heard about it, though. As long as there are living people, even if they are separated by walls, mud, or floors, it can still be found. ”

Zhu Youxiang exclaimed: "Isn't this a wall view? That's amazing! Childe, the wonder of your equipment is not inferior to my magic weapon of the Ming Dynasty! ”

In less than 10 minutes, two armed police cars drove into the factory area quickly, and several fire brigade officers carried a few dark boxes and walked quickly to the warehouse.

Zhu Youxiang continued to give Xu Yan a live broadcast speech: "There are new officers and soldiers coming, and Mr. Wen is asking them questions, asking them how far this detector can detect...... They replied that this was the latest radar life detector, and within 12 meters, as long as there were living people, they could basically detect it. Mr. Wen pointed to the warehouse and asked them, now it is suspected that there is an extremely murderous gangster hiding in the warehouse, and they can't open the door of the warehouse, through the outer wall, can they be sure that the person is not inside?

The officers and men looked very confident, saying that this warehouse is not very big, as long as there are living people in it, we will definitely find out...... Okay, so they got to work, they opened the boxes by the wall of the warehouse and started testing...... Oh, and they've changed places to experiment...... They went to the back of the warehouse and tested it...... The officers and soldiers came back, and they told Mr. Wen that they were sure that there were no living people in the warehouse.

The official disagreed, and he interjected that there were definitely people inside, and they had been guarding outside, and that it was impossible for the gangsters to escape, and that their tester must have been broken;

Several officers and soldiers said that there were absolutely no living people, and their testers were not broken, because they used three life testers to measure at the same time, and the results all said that no one could make mistakes with the three instruments at the same time......

The official said, there are so many of us, hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring, so many people are watching, is it not as good as your three instruments?

Those officers and soldiers said that this kind of thing is not strange, people will be deceived, but it is impossible for instruments to be deceived, as long as there are living people in it, as long as there are living people breathing, they will definitely be able to find out!

Well, the two sides quarreled, and the quarrel was so loud that Mr. Wen's face was ugly, and he seemed to be angry again...... Sure enough, Mr. Wen really got angry again, and he scolded both sides...... He gave the order to open the door of the warehouse and to go in and search it completely. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yan sighed in disappointment: "We're going to run empty." The monster had escaped, and the warehouse must have been empty. ”

"Why did Childe say that?"

"Xuan Yun, you heard it with your own ears, the experts of the fire brigade said it personally, they used three detectors to check, and they all said that there was no one in it."

Zhu Youxiang stared at Xu Yan deeply, and she whispered to Xu Yan: "Childe, I'm afraid you didn't hear it clearly: what they said is that there are no 'living people' in it." On the word "living person", Zhu Youxiang accentuated the pronunciation.

"There is no living person to survive? Does it make any difference? ”

Before the words fell, Xu Yan realized that something was wrong: several experts from the fire brigade kept saying that there were absolutely no living people in the warehouse-but, were humans who had been possessed by monsters and spirits still considered living people?

Xu Yan didn't know how the life detector worked, but he had seen those monsters and spirits with his own eyes: those monsters that were broken by bullets and could still move, are they still normal humans? It's not so much that they're normal humans, but rather that they're zombies or zombies.

If the life detector is specifically for the biological frequency of humans, it really can't be detected!

No, you have to hurry up and remind Wen Xiuzhi, the monster is likely to be inside, and it will be dangerous if you go in - although Wen Xiuzhi is a bit unreliable and cunning, he is not bad to Xu Yan after all, and he is Chen Yaoyu's uncle, seeing him unlucky like this, Xu Yan is still a little unbearable.

Moreover, if the monster is still hiding inside, Wen Xiuzhi opens the door, which is to give the monster a chance to escape, in case it escapes, I don't know how many people will be harmed!

Xu Yan took out the phone from his pocket and dialed Wen Xiuzhi's number, the phone rang twice, and then, he heard a voice voice: "The number you dialed is on the phone." ”

Xu Yan was at a loss: Wen Xiuzhi actually hung up his phone! (To be continued......)
