The playing cards seemed to turn into paper butterflies fluttering their wings in the air, and then landed on Xie An's right palm one by one unhurriedly. The whole process takes less than five seconds.

In the past five seconds, Lu Li held his breath and watched intently at the cards flying above his head with their backs up. Then he closed his eyes and carefully recalled each card that flew in front of him, and thinking about it, Lu Li's thoughts turned into a whirlpool and mixed up the playing cards.

"Senior brother, I can't do it, it's too fast." Lu Li frowned and gave up.

"Don't give up, try again. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Xie An put his hand on Lu Li's shoulder and comforted.

Lu Li listened to his senior brother's teaching, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stabilized his emotions. I don't know why Lu Li now feels that he is suddenly refreshed, and the things in front of him are clearer.

"Ready? I started. ”

"Ready." Lu Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked directly at the cards in his senior brother's hand.

Xie An once again pinched the cards and flew up, and when the first poker card reached the apex of the flight trajectory, Lu Li felt as if time had slowed down, and the suit and number of each card were in full view.

Lu Li conceived a set of poker models in his mind, and every time he flew over a card, the card was pasted on the corresponding position of the model in his mind. It wasn't until the last card flew by, and it was very clear which card was missing from the model in Lu Li's mind.

"Eight of Spades" Lu Li couldn't believe that he actually knew which card was missing.

"Well, I said you can do it, you have to remember that people have no limits, let alone you."

Lu Li still didn't come out of the different feeling just now.

"Lu Li, did you feel that time had become very slow just now, and it felt like the playing cards were stagnant in the air?" Xie An saw Lu Li's eyes wandering, and he must still be recalling the feeling just now.

"Yes, senior brother, that's what you said."

"Even though you feel like time is slowing down, it's actually your thinking and movements that are getting faster, and you have to be familiar with that feeling and take advantage of it.

"Defeat in the ring is often a split second, and if you relax your mind a little, your opponent will hit you hard in the weak spots."

"Ugh." The senior brother looked at Lu Li and sighed fiercely.

"Why is Senior Brother sighing?"

"Lu Li, you must have been a little confused in the past four years, why did Master tell you that you have celestial energy in your body, but in the past four years, she has hardly taught you how to effectively use this power, and has always hidden it from you."

Lu Li fell silent when he heard his senior brother's words.

It was really unremarkable that I lived in a small temple on the mountain for four years, I was taught the Dharma by my master, and I practiced with my brothers and sisters every day, and I almost never met anyone else except for the people in the temple. My body is only stronger than when I was a child, and I don't have any old problems since I was a child. But that's about it.

"I ask you, was your mother the one who witnessed the reappearance of the 'stone' twenty years ago?"

"......" Lu Li was startled at first, and then quickly regained his composure, noncommittal.

"In other words, your strength does not come from Master."

"......" Lu Liren did not answer.

"Whew!" His guess was that they all matched, and Xie An breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xie An got up and walked back and forth, then paused abruptly and turned back and said, "Four hundred years ago, the ancestor was a witness to the apocalypse explosion. At that time, the ancestor took a piece of celestial fragments, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court, he ran to the temple and became a monk, and has been concentrating on studying the celestial fragments to draw strength from them.

"Until our master's generation is the fifth generation. Although the development of the Holy Stone has become more and more perfect after four hundred years of painstaking research for several generations, the energy left of the Holy Stone is getting less and less. Do you know all of this? ”

"Yes." Lu Li replied expressionlessly.

Xie An continued: "Many people know about the legend of the Apocalypse Big Bang and the Sheng'an Strange Light twenty years ago, but what do these two things mean to the Ming Dynasty that has lasted for more than 600 years? How did it help the Ming Dynasty rule stably for so long? Why is the Ming Dynasty the most stable and long-lived empire after the Zhou Dynasty? No one knows the specifics. ”

Lu Li replied: "But there are a lot of rumors in the world about the explosion of the Apocalypse six hundred years ago. ”

"Those various versions of the news are just wild histories that people have made up in private and passed on by word of mouth. As a living beneficiary of the Second Celestial Descent twenty years ago, you have a huge amount of energy in your body, and if you develop it properly, you could be the most powerful person in the world. Xie An's eyes lit up as he spoke.

Xie An continued: "No, that's not just people anymore. This is why no matter how stormy the Ming Empire is, no matter how strong it is outside, there has never been a so-called faint monarch in each generation of emperors. Because each generation of emperors has inherited celestial energy, just like the master and the ancestors. You can perceive most of the things in this world out of thin air. ”

Although Lu Li hadn't heard of these things from his master, he had probably guessed them in the past few years. After thinking for a while, he said, "Senior brother, if the missing closed disciple before the master you told me about later is still alive, aren't he and I the only two people in this world who have this power in their entirety, except for the royal family?" ”

"Yes, this person is someone I have been looking for in Xinhai City for more than 20 years, and I have never found his whereabouts." Xie An raised his head and recalled.

"More than 30 years ago, the Burning Lamp Temple was just a small temple in the mountains, and there were no incense tourists at all. Not even many people know that there is a lamp temple in the mountains. But one night it was pouring rain outside, and there was deafening thunder from time to time. When everyone was about to rest, there was a sudden loud knock on the door outside the temple, and they all muttered after being woken up:

This small temple that is not visited by anyone during the day, why is there a knock on the door at night? As soon as I opened the door, there sat a child who looked to be only eight or nine years old, drenched and sitting alone on the steps with his legs crossed. ”

"You must know that the nearest village is a two-hour mountain road away from Randen Temple. The people in the temple hurriedly helped the child into the temple, and when they wiped the rain from the child's head with a towel, the towel turned bloody. When everyone looked closely, there was a finger-long scar on the child's head, and the wound on the head was so deep that even a white skull could be faintly seen. This kid didn't know what he had experienced, his head was cut so deeply, and he actually ran to the temple in the face of heavy rain. Everyone asked the child with concern what had happened, and the child kept silent, and everyone gave up.

The rain washed away and the blood loss from the wound, as well as the two-hour mountain road, made the child look unusually miserable, and his lips were bloodless. But strangely, the little boy's gaze was unusually firm, and he did not cry. After bandaging the little boy's wounds, he fed a bowl of porridge and tossed it until midnight, and everyone went to sleep. ”

Xie An breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Since then, this child has settled in the temple, and after slowly getting acquainted with the people in the temple, he gradually began to speak, without the original defense. But the boy's life history and the experience of that night The boy never said. ”

"Is this the heir you spoke of yesterday?" Lu Li asked after listening.

"Yes."

"Have you seen this person?"

"Yes, I went a few years later than him, and at that time he was already quite liked by the master, and I felt that he was also very good to the other people in the temple. It's very pleasing to everyone. The most important thing is that he was born with a very good physique and strong learning ability, but the master is also vaguely ready to let him be his successor. Later, Master finally made up his mind to let this person have the same energy as himself through that fragment that had been passed down from generation to generation. ”

"What is the purpose of guarding this sacred stone for generations?" Lu delige the question.

Xie An's mood sank after hearing this: "Our Burning Lamp Temple has been guarding this fragment obtained by our ancestors in the deep mountains for four hundred years, and we are also guarding the two billion people on the territory of the Ming Dynasty." If there are any natural disasters and man-made disasters, when the people are not able to make a living, the Burning Lamp Temple will also come out of the mountain to help the people. It's a pity that the Burning Lamp Temple has lived in seclusion in the mountains for generations and has not made any achievements, and it has lost the inheritor until now. Alas! ”

Lu Li pursed his lips and was silent for a while, raised his head and asked, "Senior brother, do you feel that this piece of celestial debris has such a great energy?" We only have a fragment, but the emperor may have a whole stone. ”

"I can't tell, maybe this was just the wishful thinking of the ancestor back then, maybe this fragment can really change everything. The ancestor came to this small temple just to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court, once this person stayed in the mountains for a long time, he really did the pretense of learning Buddhism and staying away from the world. This person's state of mind has changed, and his mind to govern the country and the world has been worn out. Xie An said with emotion.

"Senior brother, what is the name of the child you just said about visiting in the middle of the night, that is, the heir of the Holy Stone?"

"That person was later given the Dharma name Hongzhi by the master."

"Hongzhi...... What a name. Lu Li muttered in a low voice, "What does it mean that this person has no news from Senior Brother later?" Missing? ”

"Hongzhi was very appreciated by the master, and received the baptism of the holy stone and obtained the energy of the holy stone. After two years of study and adaptation, I gradually mastered this energy. Master was very happy at the time, but Hongzhi said that he would go down the mountain for a while to meet his parents. Although Hongzhi never mentioned his parents, the master still agreed, and after this person went down the mountain, he kept in touch with the master at first, and later said that he would go to the newly established special zone of the Ming Dynasty and Fusang Zhou, that is, Xinhai City. He has not been heard from since. ”

"Master...... Master, can't he see this person? Lu Li wondered.

"After Master channeled most of his energy through the intermediary of the Holy Stone, his body gradually deteriorated as before, let alone opened his Heavenly Eye...... Xie An explained, his eyebrows not spread.

"Senior brother, is the purpose of your coming to Xinhai City also because of this person?"

"Part of the reason, I did come to Xinhai City to inquire about this person. But there were almost no clues. Maybe this person came to Xinhai City, just like you, and was targeted by the imperial court, capital oligarchs, gangsters, these evil people, and were quietly killed or controlled. Maybe this person got celestial energy or came to Xinhai City, his heart changed, he cut off contact with the temple, and he developed incognito. In short, the disappearance has become an eternal pain for Master, which is why Master has never taught you to use your heaven-given energy, for fear that you will be lost in Xinhai City. ”

"Then I'm coming to Xinhai City, and my senior brother can be regarded as the monitor who came to me under the master's instructions." Lu Li said half-jokingly.

Xie An waved his hand and said, "You can't say that, the energy in your body needs to be slowly experienced by yourself." I'm just a nanny for you to eat and live in Xinhai City. ”

"The former MMA World Champion gave me a babysitter, so I'm at a high level."

"Haha, it's good that you know." Xie An was also amused by Lu Li's statement.

"It's not too early, you help me look at the store first, I'll go out to play cards." I took it out in the afternoon. Xie An looked at his watch and said.

"Where are you going?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"Gym!" Xie An replied.

After Xie An left, the tablet on the table lit up, showing the statistics and global ranking of Xie An's morning boxing.

Lu Li couldn't help but peek at it, only to see that it showed: Your boxing performance this time surpasses 98% of the world's boxing fans, ranking 11,653 in the world.

Xie An looked at the last sentence of the tablet, and once again his jaw dropped in shock.
