Chapter 12: The Fall
In the next few days, martial arts people came to congratulate one after another, and Li Chenglong received them one by one, and he found that being a person is also a martial art, and it is also a masterpiece. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the wind and dust, there are people with temperament, and only after seeing sentient beings can they know their true selves.
Li Chenglong stayed in Foshan for a month, and when the aftermath of the competition passed, he returned to Hong Kong.
In this era, there was already a telephone, and the news of him in Foshan had already reached Hong Kong by phone, and the employees of his industry and the martial arts people under him were all full of pride and were proud of Li Chenglong.
Walking on the street, other martial arts people will cast envious and respectful glances.
With the growth of Li Chenglong's influence in the martial arts, his business in Hong Kong is getting bigger and bigger, but he does not blindly expand, but advances and retreats in a certain way, and gives and takes.
At the end of 1936, he went back to Foshan and talked for an afternoon with the famous families and martial arts chiefs in Jinlou, explaining the general trend of the world and vaguely pointing out that the Japanese army would launch a war of aggression against China in the near future.
Li Chenglong has always behaved very demonically, whether it is the speed of his cultivation growth or his talent for foresight in business.
Now, when he pointed out that war was imminent, these merchants and nobles were inclined to believe in Li Chenglong, but it was unrealistic to ask them to give up their existing foundation.
After all, the relationship in their family is complicated, unlike the Li family, which is completely ruled by Li Chenglong.
Although these businessmen and noble families did not give up the industries in Foshan and the surrounding areas, they also leaned their family resources slightly towards Hong Kong, and made a small investment there, establishing a small base, which can be regarded as leaving a way back for themselves.
But there are also a few people who are reluctant to leave Foshan, the place where they were born and raised. For example, Uncle Deng is reluctant to leave Foshan.
Li Chenglong did not force it, everyone has their own choices, and some people regard some things as more important than their own lives.
Like the famous teachers of this era, what they live is to breathe, and they rely on a lamp to pass on the integrity of the warriors.
For them, Li Chenglong admires them very much. However, he will not imitate them, Li Chenglong still has a long way to go, he has more advanced exercises, as long as he can keep breaking through, his life can be greatly extended.
Moreover, with the unsealing of the divine soul, he had a faint feeling that this world was not his end.
The days passed, and the time finally came on July 7, 1937.
Like the history in Li Chenglong's memory, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out and the Japanese army invaded China in an all-round way.
At this time, Foshan's big businessmen and wealthy families finally believed Li Chenglong's judgment, and they were all a little panicked, eager to sell their family property and move their foundation to Hong Kong and Shanghai, which were leased to foreign countries.
However, at this time, who else dares to buy their foundation, in the long run, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, and the vast majority of the commercial banks have almost shrunk by more than half.
At this time, Li Chenglong was practicing the Sword Body Realm Exercises of the Qiushui Traceless Sword Technique in his house in Hong Kong, with the assistance of a large number of precious pills, and the nine sets of movements on the first layer of the Sword Body Realm had been cultivated to a satisfactory state.
Just one foot away from the door, and "qi" can be born under the dantian.
This kind of qi is not the same concept as the internal strength of the inner fist, the internal strength is a kind of dark energy formed by the martial artist urging his own muscles and blood, and the qi is the qi in the "refining and refining qi" mentioned by Taoism, which is a kind of substantive energy.
It is a kind of energy sublimated by the body's qi and blood after it has reached a certain level, and it is a kind of leap in the essence of life.
With this kind of qi, Li Chenglong has the possibility of breaking through again.
In the cultivation realm, the aura of heaven and earth is rich, and human beings are born from this environment, and those with acceptable qualifications can be born with a sense of qi after simple cultivation.
However, in an environment like the earth, where the aura is depleted, if you want to practice "qi", you must boil your body to a terrifying level before you can enter the realm of refining and refining qi.
Li Chenglong's physical strength has reached a critical point, and he may break through to the second level of the sword body realm at any time.
Rao is his state of mind as solid as a rock, or a slight ripple, he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Li Chenglong simply announced a retreat, and if he didn't break through, he wouldn't go out.
Cultivation has no time, and Li Chenglong's retreat lasted for a year, and he thought that the thin layer of window paper could be easily pierced.
But he still underestimated the harsh cultivation environment in this world, a small bottleneck, and it actually took him a year to barely break through with the work of water milling.
He had used most of the Quenching Pill and Nourishing Qi Dispersion, and he was about to start refining it again.
Li Chenglong has just broken through to the second layer of the sword body realm, and with a real "sense of qi", he needs to stabilize this realm, and he can't get out of the realm immediately.
It took him another half a year to refine a wisp of qi from Qi Sense, and at this time, Li Chenglong completely stabilized the realm of the second layer of the Sword Body Realm.
After leaving the customs, Li Chenglong went to see his father first, and after a year and a half of continuous retreat, Li Decai would come to see him almost every six months, and only after making sure that he was okay did he go back with peace of mind.
"Son, what kind of kung fu are you practicing, you have to retreat for a year and a half, and you should not practice such martial arts anymore. Maybe you'll go into retreat again, and you won't be able to see me again. Li Decai said with some complaints.
"The lesson of the father is that the child will not be in retreat again." The cultivation method of the sword body realm is more and more difficult layer by layer, and Li Chenglong doesn't know how long it will take to reach the second layer of the pass, and he will definitely not retreat in a short period of time.
"That's it!" Li Decai saw Li Chenglong agree, a smile appeared on his face, and then said: "Son! You are really a peerless genius, fortunately you moved all my Li family's business to Hong Kong two years ago, otherwise you would have lost all your money now! ”
Li Chenglong was stunned when he heard this, he had been in retreat for too long, and he actually forgot the time, and now Foshan is afraid that it has fallen.
"Foshan has fallen?" Li Chenglong asked.
"Yes! It was captured by the Japanese devils two months ago, and the devils who killed that day, I don't know how many people were killed. Li Decai looked angry, as a Chinese, he could not bear the devil wreaking havoc on Chinese soil, but he could not do anything, he could only do a little bit to help some Chinese who had fled to Hong Kong.
"I want to go to Foshan to see." Li Chenglong said in a low voice, he is now successful in kung fu, and he wants to do his duty and kill a few more devils.
"It's so dangerous out there, you have to be careful." Li Decai did not refuse this time, but his eyes still revealed his deep worry.
"Don't worry! Father, with my current strength, I can go anywhere in the world. Li Chenglong's face was confident, with his current physical strength, the bullet hit him at most to break the skin.
"Well, my son is a generation of martial arts masters, so naturally there will be no danger, but you have to remember to go home and see it often!" Li Decai instructed.
"I'll be back soon." Li Chenglong solemnly promised.
