Chapter 60: The Past Is Like Smoke
Chen An was alone, standing on the top of the Wanghai Tower, looking up at the stars in the sky and being stunned.
For Shen Yilun to follow all the time, he already felt something, but his mind was chaotic, and he didn't want to pay more attention to it.
In fact, the moment Yu Mengying left, he had already woken up, and the reason why he stayed was not as he said to Shen Yilun just now, he wanted to test the world with a sword and sharpen his martial arts, he had never been such an arrogant person, and his life over the years had determined his character and his martial arts.
As for the real reasons, he found a lot for himself, such as the Ming family's kindness to him, and it is natural to repay him with kindness and revenge; It's a pity that he finally found out that these are not the reasons for him to stay, the Ming family didn't have a good heart to save him at all, the secret book of the Mingyue Palace is too far worse than the dark division, and he just wants to stay, if he has to say a reason, it may be that he wants to escape temporarily.
This time it was too painful, and it was better if you never got it, but the most painful thing was to get it and then lose it.
Fortunately, he learned to endure this a long time ago, otherwise he would have been crushed by the experience of these years. Even he specially summed up a set of coping methods, that is, desperately think about every detail, the more uncomfortable it is, the more you have to think about it, and when your heart is numb, it naturally doesn't matter.
He's been forcing himself to come over the years.
He still remembers that year when he was seven years old, he was slaughtered, he forced himself to remember every detail of the killing of his relatives, and when he remembered, there was no hatred in his heart, only killing intent.
After that, he lived on the streets, hungry and cold, and he forced himself to remember the feeling of every cold wind that swept over his skin, and when he remembered, his heart was colder than his body.
A year later, at the age of eight, he joined the Dark Division, and he was inexplicably afraid, he forced himself to remember every dull sound of inserting a knife into the bodies of those peers in the "Gu Room", and when he remembered it, there was no fear, only indifference.
In the rest of the training, he forced himself to remember the pain of the whip on his body, and when he remembered it, he forgot the feeling of pain, and only numbness.
In the six years of the dark division, he forced himself to remember too many things, including the pain of the attack of the assassination, the dying struggle of poisoning, the suffocation and sourness of spitting on his face, and the fear and sorrow of being trapped in a desperate situation and hungry to eat the flesh and blood of his teammates.
He walked over silently until he met Mu Shaoping. In fact, he has been looking for Mu Shaoping for so many years, in order to find out the object of revenge, but the moment he really saw Mu Shaoping, what he wanted was not to ask for clues, not to take revenge, but to think that I still have relatives in this world. That was the first time he felt that his heart was still warm, and it was also the first time he lost the loneliness that had surrounded him for ten years.
He once had a beautiful idea, after he took revenge, he would break away from the dark division, follow Mu Shaoping's side to listen to the teachings, if he could, he would marry Sister Qing as his wife, and grow old together for the rest of his life. But now everything has been ruined by himself, the poison in Haizhou was caused by him, and Mu Shaoping did die of the plague. He always thought that he should have thought that Mu Shaoping was a doctor, treating people infected with the plague, and it seemed that he was looking for death, but it was not the most normal behavior of a Xinglin doctor with benevolence and benevolence.
That's why he is so decadent that he can't let go of it so far, and he is a little cautious about using drugs. Otherwise, according to his past habits, the first thing he would do when he woke up must be to find some poison to put on his body.
A large part of the reason why he hid in Mingyue Palace and was reluctant to return was because of this emotion. Although he is suspected of procrastination, it is not the only way he can think of now, not the way to do it. If you don't go back to the imperial court, you don't have to go to the northern front, and if you don't go to the front, you won't be able to meet Qin Rong, and naturally you won't see Mu Qing again.
This is also the reason why he was fully capable of taking Mu Qing back from Qin Rong's hands, but did not do so. He really didn't know how to face Mu Qing's sad eyes, which could not be explained by a sentence of creation and manipulation.
Sometimes he really has to believe that the cycle of karma is unpleasant.
Took a deep breath and cheered up, he Chen An has never been a person who feels sorry for himself, and it is okay to be sad for a while, but he will never allow himself to indulge in it, he has more important things to do.
Chen An let the sea breeze blow, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Bloody Clothes Building, wait for me, it won't be too long." ”
"Zhangzhou Bloody Clothes Building, built 14 years ago, was hired for assassination, and there were many crimes, and there was no trace. "This is the information that Chen An once handled, and the Criminal Department couldn't handle it, so it was transferred to the Dark Division, and when he saw it, he just smiled at it, didn't take it to heart, and threw it aside. A "traceless" is very revealing, and the case in the world that can make the dark division write down the "traceless" evaluation can only be done by the Holy Court. Let the Holy Court handle its own case, isn't that a big flood washing the Dragon King Temple?
But now, judging from Ren Zhong's false rebellion from the court, the answer is about to come out. The Bloody Clothes Building is the retreat that Ren Zhongxu found for the Blood Division, and it is really easy to calculate against the imperial court against the King of Qin, and what is even more rare is that he had such an idea fourteen years ago. Fourteen years ago, the year before the Chen family was destroyed, Chen An sneered, thinking about retreating before thinking about it, it was really the style of the assassin of the dark division.
When things are figured out, people will become relaxed, the sky is more moonlight, and the silver waves in the distance seem to have gained infinite power, and they crash into the reef on the shore with great power, and after the powder is shattered, they turn into pearls and scatter, and the swallows return to the sea like a nest, brewing the next riot. The reef is not to be outdone, under the encouragement of the stars and the moon to get rid of the shackles of darkness, stretch out their fangs and confront the vast sea, even the wind is also felt by the momentum of the two shaking the nine heavens, as if afraid and excited to scream, this sound through the clouds and cracking stones, straight to the sky for a long time. Such an atmosphere attracted the grass and trees on the shore to be unwilling to be lonely, competing for the front, waving the flag and shouting for this imminent war.
And the tranquility around Chen An is quite a bit of the meaning that everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober, which has a unique charm.
Suddenly, he seemed to be aware of it, and looked sideways to the left front, his vision was amazing, and through the palace wall under his feet, the cramped cliff bank, he saw a tall figure standing on the reef beyond Lixu.
As if avoiding him, the waves flashed past him, not dampening the hem of his clothes. At this time, the man also seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to look at Chen An.
At this time, Chen An saw clearly that it was a young man in his early thirties, with a mediocre appearance, long hair and a shawl, only a medium stature, but his back was straight, giving people an unusually tall and depressed feeling.
Chen An smiled and nodded at the other party, and the man also bowed slightly politely, and then left by himself.
Chen An was left alone here, Chen An's depression eased a little, his mind became smart again, and he had some guesses about the identity of that person. It's just that even he came, is this Martial Mansion Secret Treasury really so attractive?
His eyes flickered, and he hesitantly took out the so-called treasure house key from his bosom, and muttered, "Nine Trick Stone Rocks?"
This hollow stone bead was in Chen An's palm, facing the sea breeze, making a whining sound. The sound is peculiar, and it seems to contain some kind of rhythm.
Chen An thought for a moment, stretched out his three fingers and pinched it, just blocking the three small holes on it. The humming sound suddenly changed to a different tone.
It is the method of sound attack and the art of resonance. Through the edification of the secret treasury of the Holy Court Martial Mansion, Chen An's insight is not to say that it is the best in the world, and it is also unmatched by few people, and he quickly judged that this stone bead is not simple, I am afraid that most of the preciousness of the Martial Arts Pavilion will fall on this stone bead.
But then he smiled bitterly, such a precious thing actually fell into his hands, is it a blessing in disguise? But this blessing is too thin, and it is simply chicken ribs for him. First of all, he already has his own path, which can only be used to learn one or two, and secondly, he doesn't know anything about music, and even what he can learn is limited.
But since it is in his own hands, there is no reason to let it out again, and this set of sound attack techniques contains extremely excellent breath induction techniques, which are more precious than their guidance techniques.
The most common practice of internal strength is the technique of breathing, which cleanses the heart and spleen between breaths, and practices to a high depth, exhaling and inhaling for a long time, and finally reaching the realm of congenital fetal breath. At the advanced level, you can count the guidance technique, exercise the muscles and bones of the whole body, and reach the five internal organs, both internal and external, and practice to the highest depths to achieve the innate physique, and prolong life. And the most mysterious thing is this method of pranayama, in terms of effect, it is not much stronger than the first two, but with the help of utensils, it can be quickly cultivated, once it is used, it is like an initiation, one step to the sky.
Pranayama may not necessarily be the resonance of sound attack, but most of the utensils used are rare and exotic treasures, and this stone bead material looks extraordinary in light, and it must be a rare treasure. He kept it carefully and thought that it would be good to use it for "fishing". As for who the fish in his heart is, it is a matter of the benevolent and the wise.
Chen An took out the animal skin in his arms again, it was a piece of sea rhino skin, which was tough and wear-resistant and not easy to damage. This is because he subconsciously thinks that what he has recorded is very important, and he specially asked Yu Mengying for it.
He really didn't expect that when he lost his memory and his mind was blank, he would come up with such a thing, could it be that deep down in his heart he still yearns for martial arts.
Some people of insight in the martial arts are looking for the cultivation method of superior qigong all over the world to supplement their own foundation. But the irony is that most of this kind of long-lasting cheats are collected by the secret division, and they are piled up in the secret vault of the martial arts, for many reasons, some of them are brought by the warriors who want to glorify the ancestors and sell their art to the emperor's family, some of the families of the exterminators have plundered the past, and some of them have come over when they accepted the treasures of the previous dynasty, and so on, and so on.
It's just that there are almost no people who really cultivate it in the Dark Division, and the Dark Division Guards are more favored to pursue those extremely powerful moves, and no one cares about polishing the basic exercises.
Chen An was an outlier, but he didn't study those boring spitting techniques in order to lay a good foundation in the first place. He injured his body due to the rush of practice, and his martial arts could not progress, so he had to find another way to replace his true qi with toxins. If you want to do this, of course, you must be very familiar with the method of practicing qi. Only then did I have to endure the ability to delve into the airway.
And this picture on the skin of the sea rhinoceros is the essence of his diligent study and hard thinking over the years.
Chen An called it the Twelve Phases Divine Map, on which a total of twelve animals were drawn, namely the cold sparrow, the red sword, the frost ao, the scorching snake, the tiger, the bright deer, the ferret, the wild goose, the white wolf, the fire ape, the ice badger, and the flame pheasant, corresponding to the twelve canons, and the cold to the yin, the fire to the yang.
This atlas is the culmination of the Qi Dao cheats collected by the Dark Division, and adds Chen An's insights on medical Dao, which can be described as broad and profound, and is the embodiment of his martial arts.
Chen An has been trained by secret agents since he was a child, and he pays attention to hiding himself, disguising himself, and exchanging the greatest result at the lowest cost. He has always done this, the cold ghost claw, and the killing technique are all one-hit killing kung fu, as well as the cooperation of various poisons, which is invincible. He was never seen in front of people, and when people found him, all they saw was his poisoned body. This is also the reason why everyone in the rivers and lakes is very afraid of him and lists him as one of the four dark divisions.
The most frightening thing is the unknown, and only the killer hiding in the shadows can bring fear, which is what he has always believed.
It's just that after going through so much, he and Shen Yilun and others have realized the same problem, practicing martial arts or practicing martial arts. Of course, he didn't think about it so clearly, but he still had this aspect in his subconscious, otherwise he wouldn't have made this twelve-phase divine diagram during the amnesia.
Chen An spread the atlas on the roof of the building, compacted it with bricks and tiles, and twisted his body according to the above description, sometimes pretending to be a sparrow, sometimes pretending to be a tiger, and sometimes dormant with the method of turtle breathing, and verified them one by one.
This is the first time he has practiced this exercise when he is sober, and he has completed a set of movements, but he feels that his body is suddenly cool, and suddenly warm, and the two qi of yin and yang are indefinite in the upper and lower parts of the body, and the internal force is more profound than before, and there is a hidden interaction with the external qi, and it is not difficult to reach the realm of Nangong Yao in time.
This made him look forward to it leisurely, and at that time, he should also set sail to seek the true meaning of martial arts.
"As long as you get revenge, you don't have to worry. He said to himself secretly, but a voice sounded in his head: "Can you really be careless?" ”
At this time, the light clouds of mist gradually dissipated, and for a while, the bright moon shone brightly, the stars lost their color, and the entire sea surface was plated with a layer of brilliant moonlight.
Lovesickness knows when it is, and it is embarrassing to be embarrassed at this time.
