Chapter 1 One Year Later
A year later, Guangcheng.
Guangcheng, before the end of the world, was about 1,000 kilometers away from Seoul, four or five hours away by high-speed rail, after the end of the world, there was no big folding space between each other, although the distance was farther, but it was not particularly large.
On the contrary, other cities in other directions, far or near, have new folding spaces appearing, and they don't know how far apart.
This is actually the reason why Jing Yang was able to return to Seoul in his previous life, but he had never heard of other big cities around.
As for the smaller second- and third-tier cities between Gwangseong and Seoul, there were not enough numbers and strength to flee to the two cities, and only a small number of the remaining survivors were hiding.
Compared with Seoul, Gwangseong was originally not larger than Seoul, but it was actually surrounded by several other cities, and it was developed as a whole, but the actual number of people was much larger.
Except for some cities that have been lost to the unknown distance because of the folding space, they are still connected, and now they are basically concentrated in Guangcheng.
However, compared with Seoul, there are no more survivors in Gwangseong than in Seoul, and the time when the casualties are the greatest in the last days is always the beginning of the last days. And Seoul has changed because of Jingyang, but Guangcheng is completely unexpected and difficult to resist.
Until now, in the past year or so, Guangcheng has been completely stabilized, and order in all aspects has naturally been born, and fewer people have died.
Cities where millions of people are still alive are still alive, and if you don't go out of the city and think about the number of dead people who once had ten times that number, there is still some life.
It's just that compared to the pre-apocalyptic era, most of the remaining occupations are related to life and fighting, and the business aspect can be said to be extremely simple.
Every drop of blood essence is still extremely precious, and for ordinary people, they still form a team and then obtain blood essence by contribution, and it is impossible to use it as such a luxury as currency.
The trade of ordinary daily necessities is to replace blood and animal flesh or directly barter.
Many people are still living a difficult life.
Especially for many children who are not yet old, they should still be studying, but in this last day, they are even more at a loss, and most of them don't know what to do.
It wasn't until some big forces began to lay down courses publicly, began to teach little children some knowledge, and began to let children over the age of six participate in exercises.
Various martial arts and Taoist sects have also established sects and openly accepted disciples.
First, I can recruit more people for myself and give my children a future that they can look forward to, but secondly, they can also charge some tuition fees, which is also an income.
Of course, in this case, it also depends on whether you have anything worth learning.
The most widely spread and accepted is undoubtedly martial arts, the same Chinese people, for the understanding of martial arts more or less, may have doubted before, now no one will doubt. Everyone will only look at the strength of different martial arts.
On the contrary, it is the cultivation method obtained by other inheritances, such as refining the body and refining qi, which is very lofty, but there are not many that can really teach others and can make people learn, and they may even be deceived if they are not careful.
Of course, if you actually want to learn these practices, it's not just children, but also capable adults who are trying their best to learn them, and even these martial arts halls have always been there.
It's just that I didn't pay attention to children before, but now I teach them together.
However, compared to these cultivation methods, what people are more eager for is actually awakening!
Whether the inheritance handed down from ancient times can be obtained depends on the chance, but if there is no way for the awakened person to awaken, it is to increase his strength all of a sudden, which is much more useful than any cultivation method.
Therefore, compared with the method of cultivation, the study of the method of awakening will not be left behind, and it can help people try the method of awakening, which is really the top priority of the research of all major forces.
In the last year, although many forces should have studied and understood a little about the possibility of hypnotizing dreams, the dream device has not been invented, and no one will casually publicize the results of this kind of research.
In this case, the technology that can help others awaken is still the only one that the largest forces have mastered, and it is also because of this that the strength of the big forces will only get stronger, and everyone sharpens their heads and wants to squeeze in.
Whether it is an adult or a child, if you have the ability, the first thing you choose to try is definitely awakening, and under this, it is actually the Daoist gang that has obtained the inheritance and has the method of practicing qi, and then there are martial arts that everyone can practice.
Everyone knows that martial arts are useful, but at the same time, they also know that if they want to be effective, they still need the cooperation of blood essence to really improve their strength.
But in fact, many people don't even have the ability to go to formal learning.
Liu Minghui was thirteen years old, and he was helping his mother get delicious food, so that she could wait to come back and have something to eat, and finally had time to practice boxing in the square.
When I came down, I saw a little fat man who was about thirteen or fourteen years old sitting on the side resting.
"Chubby? Are you here? Isn't it a new juvenile class opened in Xingyimen today! You didn't go?" Liu Minghui was really surprised, Xiaopang's father was originally a person who joined Xingyimen, and it was not like his family couldn't afford to pay tuition, so he didn't go.
"Of course not! I have a master, didn't I tell you?" Lu Fengcheng shook his head, a slightly chubby body is also very rare in this last days.
But in fact, Lu Fengcheng is already much thinner than before, he used to be a real little fat man, at least a lap bigger than now, now after more than half a year of exercise, plus he can eat some blood beast meat from time to time, the rest is already muscles, and his current strength is already very good.
"That's Xingyi Gate, what can your master teach you?" Liu Minghui smacked his lips, a little incomprehensible. Xingyi Sect is now the largest martial arts sect in Guangcheng, not only is its own training method perfect, but it is also said that there is an old-timer, and it also has a set of mental methods for cultivating internal strength, and you can directly practice qi!
Although not everyone can learn it, the prospect is here, it is much stronger than some other martial arts karate and the like, and it is not much worse than the cultivation methods of those ancient inheritances.
Chubby obviously had a chance to learn, but he didn't go!
"My dad said, in fact, I am now laying the foundation for exercise, and I am almost the same as learning any boxing technique, and I have always had someone to guide me when I learn from my master, but it is much better than going to the juvenile class with so many people and a teacher."
"This one seems to be the same." Liu Minghui couldn't help but be a little envious, even if he learned any boxing skills, but his family couldn't afford the tuition fees of any martial arts hall, and his mother relied on helping people grow vegetables, so she could barely change it for two people to eat.
It's still because they are neighbors with Chubby, so he finally asked Chubby's father to teach him a little basics. But Chubby's father has only been studying for a year, so he can't teach him much.
"By the way, I'll go to Master's place first." Lu Fengcheng suddenly jumped up.
In fact, he also felt that his master was a little strange, but his ability was undoubted.
A year ago, his master just came to Guangcheng from outside, and he brought his mother who became a vegetative person, and his father helped a lot, and then the master actually said that he could help his father try to awaken!
Although he didn't awaken any abilities in the end, his father also told him that he had at least ten years of experience in Xingyi Quan practiced, otherwise he wouldn't have achieved his current results at all!
If it weren't for Master, their family might not be much better than Liu Minghui's family now.
Later, the master's ability to assist others in awakening spread, although I have never heard of anyone awakening a strong ability, but there are also many people who have awakened some good inheritance memories, so in the past year, there has been an endless stream of people who have found the master.
Master himself occupies the primary school where he used to study, and no one has any opinions, and he also comes out to accept apprentices in the name of a martial arts hall, Lu Fengcheng actually feels that Master is a bit unprofessional.
At the beginning, his father heard that the master was still accepting apprentices, so he hurriedly sent him a generous gift to apprentice, originally thinking that he could also learn the ability to assist in awakening, so that he would not have to fight and adventure with blood beasts in the future, but the master's ability is simply the ability of awakening, and he can't teach people at all, but the apprentices are serious about teaching boxing.
Of course, this does not receive people.
His father later learned that there was no way, the tuition fees were paid, and he would suffer if he didn't study, thinking that it would be good to have a better relationship, so he let him follow the study until now, and then he had the saying that learning from anyone is almost the same.
To be honest, no one really thinks that a young man in his twenties is not a person in this area who has awakened his own ability to teach any powerful boxing techniques.
Helping people try to awaken is his master's business, there is no doubt about it.
However, Master's venue is really much more convenient than a place like downstairs, and there is nothing to play now, or no one will want to play anymore, so Lu Fengcheng still insists on going to Master's place to participate in exercises every day, and even has to practice more time with his father in the morning.
Lu Fengcheng ran wildly all the way, even faster than some adults on the road, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Now everyone can only rely on two feet to go anywhere, which is a bit of the thrill of overtaking.
Passing through the more lively streets nearby, Lu Fengcheng soon arrived in front of the Twelfth Primary School, of course, now the sign of the primary school has been removed, and it has been replaced with a name that seems to be very high: "Wuxiang Martial Arts Hall." ”
Lu Fengcheng shook the big bell hanging outside the door a few times, and then waited silently.
He had already tried, and he couldn't get in by himself! And it should be said that no one can easily get in!
Within the scope of the martial arts hall, there is a maze formation!
Lu Fengcheng often felt that Master was not at all like a martial artist in the martial arts hall, but more like a qi practitioner in the gym.
"Little fat brother, you're here!" A little girl who was only about ten years old jumped out of the door, then opened the door and handed Lu Fengcheng a sign, and the two of them walked inside.
