At this time, Wang An thought that the so-called "Qi Clock" was the release of True Qi, that is, the formation of a special "energy" defense barrier outside the body.

In this way, a month of hard work has passed in the blink of an eye, and in this month's time, Li Xinzhu has broken three hundred and twenty-four wooden sticks, and the more he gets to the back, the faster the wooden stick will be broken.

After a month of practice, Wang An's kung fu progress in the golden bell jar is very obvious, basically able to achieve external force falling on the body, and the rebound strength will be generated, which is the result of beating hundreds of sticks every day.

Not only that, but Wang An's ability to listen to and distinguish positions has also been greatly improved.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, Ren Shuangjia came to Professor Luo's school, and the other party called him not long ago to tell him that he had a new harvest.

He went to the outside of Professor Law's office, knocked on the door, and heard someone inside shouting "Come in."

Then he pushed the door in, and the office was not large, with a row of cabinets against the wall, an old sofa, and an old desk full of books.

From these furnishings, it can be seen that Professor Luo is a person who is dedicated to research and does not care much about material life.

"Oh, it's Staff Ren, I'm a mess here, don't mind, just sit down."

"You called and said you had the latest discovery?"

"Well, I deciphered a few more words, it should be the sun and the moon are the same, and the river flows backwards, so this immortal valley may appear in the place where the river flows backwards, when the sun and the moon are the same."

"The sun and the moon shine together, and the river flows backwards?"

"The sun and moon shine together is not particularly rare, it is a normal natural phenomenon, caused by the different rotation cycles of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth.

Theoretically, as long as the atmospheric conditions are relatively good, it will appear every month, but it needs certain conditions to be directly observed by the naked eye, and it can be seen in broad daylight only from the twenty-first to the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar in the month when the sky is clear and the visibility is good in autumn.

As for the backflow of rivers, this is relatively rare, and there are only a handful of rivers recorded in the country." Professor Luo explained.

Ren Shuangjia nodded after hearing this, rare means easy to find, and the scope of screening has suddenly become much smaller, and now it seems that he is one step closer to the truth.

"Professor Luo, is there anyone else in China who is proficient in this kind of research besides you?"

These days, Ren Shuangjia is also thinking about who snatched the tortoise shell, since they came for this thing, they must have known its purpose for a long time, so they must first be able to identify the words engraved on it, obviously there are only a handful of people in the empire who know this ancient script.

"There are still a few experts in paleographies, and I have been communicating with them these days, such as professors Liu Xueshen and Li Yuxi, who have high attainments in paleography research."

"But them?"

Well, Professor Luo lowered his head and pondered for a while, I vaguely remember that there was another person who had studied the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, by the way, his name was Li Fenglou."

Ren Shuangjia wrote down the name, then asked a few more questions before leaving. After returning to the Special Affairs Bureau, he immediately arranged for someone to investigate Li Fenglou.

It didn't take long for news to come back. Li Fenglou passed away last month due to a myocardial infarction.

"What a coincidence that he passed away!" Ren Shuangjia said in his heart, he leaned back on the sofa and looked out the window.

"Interesting, it's been a long time since I've met such an interesting opponent."

Just as he was thinking about his next move, the phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, well, when was that? Okay, I got it."

Someone just informed him that Lu Xiangyi had just left the capital and had already reported to the headquarters, and the destination was Wang An's hometown.

"Are you going to see Wang An?"

The next day, Li Xinzhu was also there when I met Wang An.

"I wanted to find out something and come back to see Mr., but unfortunately I didn't find much useful information." Lu Xiangyi said.

"The capital

He recently found a professor who specializes in ancient literature to decipher the text of the tortoise shell on Warehouse 7, and the headquarters has arranged for people to search for the so-called Immortal Valley."

"In other words, if you find the Valley of the Immortals, you can find those people?"

"That's how it should be." Lu Xiangyi nodded.

"You've been in the capital lately?"

"Yes, I've been in the capital all the time, so it's a half-off-duty state." Lu Xiangyi said with a smile.

Because of the affairs in the capital, the headquarters of the Special Affairs Bureau was very dissatisfied with him and Xu Qi, if it weren't for the special identities of the two people with unusual backgrounds, coupled with Wang An's relationship, it is estimated that they would be locked up and dealt with by family law now.

It is not only him who is affected, but also his family.

After all, you are paid a salary and you are enjoying benefits, but you are eyebrow-to-eye with others, which no one can stand it. However, things have developed to this point, Lu Xiangyi does not regret it, and he has never regretted it since his sister was rescued.

"Since you're not busy, why don't you stay here for a few more days, and I'll give you a small gift."

Li Xinzhu on the side was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lu Xiangyi with a smile, he had already guessed what Wang An was going to do, and he also said this to himself last time.

"Gifts, what gifts?" Lu Xiangyi was a little surprised when he heard this, "Could it be that I was specially called here for this matter?"

"I'll help you sort out the meridians, easy tendons and marrow."

"What?" Lu Xiangyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"Why, don't want to?"

"Yes, of course I do!" Lu Xiangyi said hurriedly.

If you refuse such a good thing, you will be a big fool! Lu Xiangyi immediately realized that this time was a great opportunity for him.

"It may take a little longer, about a month, do you want to call and ask for a leave of absence."

"Okay." Lu Xiangyi immediately called to ask for leave, as long as it can be easy to wash the marrow, let alone a month, it is worth it even a year.

"Do you need anything for me?"

"Well, you need to find a place to stay." Wang Andao.

"You might as well buy a house here, I bought a house here, it's not expensive, and I can come here for two days when I have nothing to do in the future, and enjoy the quiet country life."

"That's a good idea."

Soon, Lu Xiangyi also bought a house in this mountain village, and he has always been kind.

In the capital, after learning that Lu Xiangyi had asked for leave, the relevant personnel immediately reported it.

"How long is the leave, and why?"

"One month, because of personal leave."

"What do you think?"

"Give me a call and see where he is." Ren Shuangjia said, "Either there is some special action to prepare for a long trip, or it is ......."

"Or what?" The rich man looked at Ren Shuangjia, who was silent.

"Do you think it's possible that he is going to follow Wang An to practice martial arts?"

"Cultivating martial arts, what can you practice in that month?"

"That's hard to say, maybe it's going to be some kind of special training, and then he can continue to take leave after a month?"

In the mountain village, Lu Xiangyi didn't sleep well all night, thinking that Wang An would start combing the meridians for him from tomorrow, and he was a little excited, and he was in a state of high spirits, sleeping late and waking up early.

The next morning, Wang An began to comb the meridians for him. The methods and steps are exactly the same as the last time he combed the meridians for Li Xinzhu, and this time he is more skilled.

The process of using true qi itself is also a kind of cultivation for him.

Wang An combed the meridians for him here, and Li Xinzhu and the monkey continued to practice not far away, and during this time, Wang An had already made a plan for them to practice, that is, to be proficient in strength and exercise strength.

After two days, in addition to the daily combing of the meridians, Lu Xiangyi also joined their ranks of exercise, which was the most practical

The battle begins.

"I'm coming!" Li Xinzhu couldn't wait.

"Okay, you come, collect some points."

"Okay!" Li Xinzhu is eager to try.

"I practice Luohan Boxing, Xingyi Boxing, please advise."

"I have practiced Bajiquan and Baguazhang, please advise."

The two men clenched each other's fists and then pulled out the fist fight. Li Xinzhu didn't move, Lu Xiangyi didn't move, Wang An and the monkey watched quietly.

Suddenly, Li Xinzhu moved, and swooped out.

"So fast!" Lu Xiangyi's eyes were sharp, he didn't resist hard, he dodged, but he didn't expect Li Xinzhu's speed to be extremely fast, and he followed him and hit him.

Grab the middle door from close quarters and hit head-on.

Lu Xiangyi raised his arms to resist, and at the same time stiffened with his elbows, but the move was broken halfway. Li Xinzhu's speed is fast enough, his strength is strong enough, and he can directly break the move.

"This guy is amazing!" Lu Xiangyi said in his heart, and the pace of his feet quickly changed to that of Baguazhang, and his body suddenly became much more flexible.

Li Xinzhu is to respond to all changes with the same, or to walk in the mud, collapse the fist, and Lu Xiangyi can't stop at all.

"Hey, there's finally a fight you can make!" Li Xinzhu said in his heart, not to mention how happy he was at this moment.

These days in this mountain village, he is typically painful and happy, Wang An needless to say, he definitely can't beat the monkey, the key is that the other party is too dexterous, in terms of playing games, the agility attribute is a lot higher than him. If you can't catch up with the other party, you naturally can't win.

Now it's okay, there is a person who can beat by himself, and he can express the depression in his heart.

Originally, Lu Xiangyi also practiced martial arts since he was a child, he also loved kung fu, and studied with famous teachers since he was a child, but in recent years, he has actually fallen behind.

Li Xinzhu is different, in the past two years, he has been practicing day and night, coupled with Wang An's guidance, his kung fu is advancing by leaps and bounds, it is reasonable that Lu Xiangyi can't beat him, if he beats him, then there is a problem.

The competition between two people actually didn't take long.

"I didn't expect this person to be a master!"

After a battle, Lu Xiangyi's attitude towards Li Xinzhu has completely changed, this person he had a certain understanding before, and he also knew that the other party knew kung fu, but he didn't expect kung fu to practice to such a high level, this can already be called a "master".

Li Xinzhu, who was in a good mood, made an appointment for a roast whole lamb directly from the mutton restaurant in the town.

At the dinner table, Lu Xiangyi drank two glasses of wine with Li Xinzhu alone, and after he was full, Lu Xiangyi visited Li Xinzhu alone.

"You're right to stay." Li Xinzhu took a sip and said, since Wang An is willing to sort out the meridians for this Lu Xiangyi, presumably this must be a trustworthy person, Li Xinzhu also opened the conversation.

"Not only can you learn the essence here, but you can also learn excellent kung fu, of course, you may not be interested in this, but it is good to learn more."

Lu Xiangyi stayed, although he was very tired every day, but he was so willing that he could feel the changes in his body. It's just that every few days, the headquarters in the capital will call to ask where he is, and it's even annoying.

In the capital,

"Now it can be determined that he should be practicing with Wang An."

"Practice? Hey, well, I can't imagine that he still has such a chance!" The rich man took a deep breath, and at this moment he had some thoughts in his heart, one of which was whether he could ask Lu Xiangyi about the content of Lu Xiangyi's cultivation with Wang An, and then promote it on a large scale.

In the process of cultivating in the mountains, Lu Xiangyi also saw the process of Li Xinzhu hitting Wang An with a stick.

"The two of you can also try it, this is the method of practicing the Golden Bell Jar, which can improve the body's ability to resist blows." Wang An suggested that the two of them also try it.

The two of them thought about it and decided to try, but they couldn't hit their bodies directly with wooden sticks, they couldn't bear it, so they first used a thicker one on the outside of the wooden stick

strip of cloth, and then tentatively tap the body with a slight force.

In this process, Wang An will also teach them his own perception and experience in the process of practice, which is actually extremely difficult, many people may be blocked by a layer of window paper-like obstacles in the process of cultivation for a long time and cannot break through, if there is a famous teacher on the side, it may be just a matter of one sentence, he will instantly understand.

There is no nail in the mountains, and the years do not know the years,

The time spent practicing in the mountains flew by, and soon a month passed.

Wang An completed Lu Xiangyi's easy tendon washing, Lu Xiangyi was not in a hurry to leave, he wanted to follow Wang An to study for a while, this opportunity is hard to come by, not only can you practice kung fu, but also enhance the relationship between them, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the trees in the mountains are eating buds one after another.

At noon on this day, after lunch, Lu Xiangyi received a phone call, his face changed slightly, the call came from the capital, and it was Xu Qi calling.

"Sir, there is news in the Immortal Valley, I'll go back to the capital to take a look." Lu Xiangyi said.

"Okay, let me know as soon as it's confirmed." Wang An now also wants to know who is calculating him, and wants to meet the mastermind behind the incident in the capital.

On the same day, Lu Xiangyi left the mountain village and returned to the capital.
