Chapter 253: Reading for the Rise of China

Zhou Shen walked on the European continent.

He spent a week traveling through the northern cities of Sila to Albania, also known as the "Kingdom of Bunkers," the country with the most bunkers per capita.

After four or five days of walking along the Albanian coastline, it then headed east through North Macedonia to Bulgaria, the home of the Lich King.

After that, he went all the way to the northeast to Romania, the "land of vampires......

During this time, you will see ancient towns, endless plains, crystal clear lakes, towering mountain peaks, steep cliffs, and large areas of untouched virgin jungle.

He would stop to watch the busy bees collecting honey, stand by the stream and watch the fish swimming freely at the bottom of the water, and lie on the top of the cliff to admire the magnificence of heaven and earth.

I will also walk in the dense primeval jungle to see all kinds of small animals, and explore those inaccessible caves.

Of course, he also met all sorts of Europeans.

Some of them were warm, some cold, some mild-mannered, some of them were furious, and they met good Samaritans who insisted on giving him a ride, inviting him to their homes, and also meeting bad people with knives who demanded that he hand over all his belongings, and who spoke filthy words.

He saw innocent children, and he also saw the cruel and cold-blooded Hey Gang.

Of course, I also met martial artists from various countries, these people's kung fu is high and low, and in North Macedonia I met a "half-step Great Perfection" fighter, he practiced the "Sang Boshu" of the Mao Bear Country, and his fighting skills were about to break through the Ming Jin.

In the northern Bulgarian city of Sofia, he met a boxing gym that taught "European secret arts", these people soaked their bodies with a special potion, and then combined with secret words, they could double the strength of boxers.

The boxer seems to have changed as if he is a different person, not afraid of pain or tiredness, and his attacks are fierce and vicious, just like the ancient "divine fighting technique" of Huaguo.

At first, like most people, he thought that the liquid was mixed with herbs similar to painkillers and excitatory J, but after experimenting, it was found that this was not the case, and it was useless to soak the liquid without cooperating with the secret words.

So it's strange that he didn't figure out what caused it all the way.

In addition, he met a Nepalese ascetic monk in Slovakia, who could actually practice Bigu by meditating and cultivating, and he observed the other party for three days and three nights, and the other party really did not drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice.

Then he probed the other party's body and found that this Nepalese ascetic actually had Qi in his meridians.

Although it is very weak, it is indeed undoubted.

This discovery made him extremely surprised, this ascetic did not practice martial arts, if he practiced martial arts, he would at least be a master at the peak of bright strength now, and it was even possible to reach dark energy.

Then he had a long conversation with the Nepalese dervishe.

Two and a half months later, in the afternoon, he arrived in Vienna, Austria, a city of royal art palaces, riding schools, art galleries, museums and parks.

It was already the middle of December, and Vienna had just had a heavy snowfall two days before, and the roads and houses were covered with snow, the weather was extremely cold, and there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the roads.

There are many tourists in the café on the side of the road, some are reading books, some are whispering with friends, and some are simply sitting in the café, revealing the floor-to-ceiling glass looking outside, quietly enjoying the peace.

Zhou Shen walked slowly along the side of the road, and the people in cafes, hotels, and shops were watching him, and he took these people as the scenery along the way.

Passing by a shoe and clothing store, a chubby white girl chased out of the store and shouted in English, "Hi, wait a minute." ”

Zhou Shen stopped, and the white girl caught up with a brand new pair of sneakers and said, "Put your shoes on, it's so cold that your feet will freeze." ”

Zhou Shen's appearance was reflected in the window panes along the way, with messy hair, embarrassing beard, and a lot of cuts in the black overalls on his body, and his feet were unexpectedly bare.

He wasn't deliberately unkempt, but he often walked in the wilderness, and he didn't have time to take care of his hair, and he couldn't cut it himself, even in a barbershop, and he often shaved his beard with a sharp dagger.

As for the clothes, there was no way to do it, he often went to the vine-covered primeval jungle and the strange rocky mountains and caves to explore, and the clothes broke down too quickly.

A few days ago, Bai Ying called him and said that he had mailed him several clothes made of synthetic fibers, similar to Kevlar, light, thin and strong, the dagger capital could not be pierced, and it could withstand conventional pistol bullets.

As for the shoes, there is no need to wear them at all, and he is not afraid of the cold.

Zhou Shen smiled: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold!" Thank you anyway, though. ”

The white girl looked at his feet, there was indeed no chilblains on them, and when she got closer, she realized that his body was actually very clean, not too much dust, and he was not the homeless person she imagined.

"You're welcome. Are you sure you're really not cold? ”

"Really!"

"Alright then!" The white girl nodded and smiled, then asked in fluent Chinese, "Are you Chinese?" ”

"That's right! How do you speak Mandarin? ”

"My roommate is from your Chinese, and she also asked me to teach me how to write calligraphy......

Just as the two were chatting, a group of young people with Asian faces came out of the store next door, and when they passed by Zhou Shen, when they saw him, they immediately showed a disgusted expression on their faces, and they all avoided the side, looking at Zhou Shen's eyes like looking at beggars.

"I'm sick to death."

"It's a shame to come to Vienna dressed like that."

"At a glance, I knew that it was a poor ghost from Huaguo who came here to work in the dark, and the quality of these people was really poor."

"Hee-hee, be quiet, don't be heard by him, beware of him coming to you desperately."

"Inferior people can only use force......"

These young Asians spoke loudly in Mandarin before they had gone far, without any fear that Zhou Shen and the two would hear it.

"Excuse me! You also know that China is 9.6 million square kilometers, and in such a big country, there will always be some nasty garbage. Zhou Shen smiled and said to the white girl in front of him, "But you are a good person!" ”

He smiled and complimented the girl, then turned and walked forward, leaving shallow footprints on the cold road, and in the blink of an eye they were blown away by the cold north wind.

……

In the afternoon, Zhou Shen walked around the city of Vienna like a flower, looking at museums, galleries and churches.

In the evening, I went to the Vienna Central Cemetery.

The Central Cemetery is a huge cemetery located in the southeast of Vienna, a place that is rarely visited by tourists, but very sacred for music lovers, as there are many great musicians who rest here.

Not far from the east entrance is the Musicians' Cemetery, where more than 20 world-famous musicians and composers, including Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Strauss and his sons, are buried.

Zhou Shen is not a music lover, and he is not here to admire such a giant in the music industry, because music is art, and art has always had little to do with the children of poor families, and many people have never even touched the piano before they are adults.

And he only played the harmonica in elementary school, and never touched any instrument again.

He just came over and walked around and looked.

He walked slowly in front of the tombstones of the musicians, feeling the fragility of life.

"No matter how great a person is, no matter how powerful he is in life, he will not be able to defeat time after all, and finally turn into a handful of loess! So you must work hard in your cultivation and never have any slack heart. ”

"You must always remember that your biggest enemy is time, and only by defeating it will you be the most awesome person in the past!"

Zhou Shen kept admonishing himself in his heart.

Walk through this area of the Musicians' Cemetery and continue on your way.

Although the cemetery is large, it is very desolate, and the gloomy weather and bitter wind make it feel desolate.

After a general walk around the cemetery, I walked in the direction I came.

When I was halfway there, I saw an old white woman holding a little boy in front of me, who was laying flowers in front of the tombstone.

It's a desolate area and there aren't any cameras nearby.

As we got closer, there was a faint sense of danger in my extrasensory perception.

"Hmph, chased after you so soon?"

Zhou Shen couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart.

For two and a half months, he always felt that some guys were following him like maggots on tarsal bones.

However, because he was so fast, these guys couldn't catch up with him, and he spent most of his time in the middle of nowhere, and these people didn't have a chance to make a move.

Unexpectedly, less than half a day after he arrived in Vienna, the other party actually tracked him down so quickly, and also arranged for the killer to be on his way.

"Just right, I'm going to get rid of you all in Vienna!"

Zhou Shen thought to himself in his heart, and then walked straight towards the two of them.

Just as he passed about six or seven meters behind the old woman and the little boy, the soles of his feet moved violently, and his body seemed to move instantly, and he came behind the two people in the blink of an eye.

Then the right palm slammed into the back of the "little boy", and under the control of the [Great Zhou Tian Carrying Gong], the inner qi in the cell spewed out from the palm of the palm, and divided into five forces to imprint into the opponent's body.

The little boy's chest bulged violently, as if something was about to come out of it, which was terrifying.

His internal organs were instantly beaten to pieces.

The "little boy" opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood, and then fell to the ground without saying a word, his hand shrunk into his fat coat was now exposed, and inside was a loaded assault rifle.

And this boy is not really a child, but a dwarf killer.

After the dwarf killer fell to the ground, the white woman next to her froze for a moment, and a panicked and nervous look appeared on her face.

The old woman's throat moved, obviously wanting to say something, but Zhou Shen didn't want to know the reason, whether she had a hard time or a last resort, it didn't matter, she directly slapped her on the chest and sent her back to the west.

The old woman fell to the ground with her eyes open, and a cross tightly held in her palm was revealed.

Zhou Shen glanced at it and turned to leave!

Less than two minutes after he left, a black car came, and two people quickly carried the dwarf killer and the old woman into the car, and then wiped the blood off the ground with cleaning items before leaving quickly.

In less than three minutes, the cemetery was quiet again, as if nothing had happened.

The cold wind was fierce, and it rolled up the desolation.

……

After leaving the Central Cemetery, Zhou Shen returned to the center of Vienna, where he checked into the Hilton Hotel on the Danube.

After checking in, he went straight to the restaurant for dinner.

Maybe there are more Chinese people here, this Hilton hotel also has a Chinese restaurant, he ordered a 1288 yuan package, and then sat in his seat and waited quietly.

About five minutes later, a typical Eastern European beauty waitress came over with a dining cart, four or five dishes with all colors and flavors were served on the table one after another, and finally a large plate of black pepper and willow beef rice bowl was placed in front of him, and the beautiful waitress said with a sweet smile: "Sir, please use it slowly, please feel free to greet me if you need anything." ”

She turned around and pushed the waiting cart just about to leave, but her wrist was entangled by Zhou Shen's small hand.

Zhou Shen smiled and said in English: "Why are you in such a hurry, take a bite." ”

The beautiful waitress with her back to Zhou Shen's face suddenly changed, but she couldn't hold back the throbbing in her heart, turned around and said with a smile: "Sir, please let go of your hand, if you do this again, I will call someone." ”

"Really? Then your name is you. ”

"What are you doing, hurry up and let go...... Yes! ”

The beautiful waitress's face finally began to change, and she kept struggling, but how could her strength be Zhou Shen's opponent?

Zhou Shen pinched the waitress's wrist and broke it up, and the waitress immediately squatted down in pain.

It's time for dinner, and although there are not many guests in the Chinese restaurant, there are still a few tables of guests, and there are restaurant staff not far away.

Just as the two were entangled, the restaurant staff quickly walked towards this side.

"Stop......"

Here, while the beautiful waitress knelt down and screamed bitterly, Zhou Shen grabbed a handful of hot black pepper beef tenderloin rice bowls from the dinner plate with his left hand, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and clasped her thumb and index finger up and down before she spit it out, closing her mouth.

"Mmmm......mmmm

The beautiful waitress had a frightened expression on her face, and her other hand desperately broke Zhou Shen's fingers.

At the same time as the other waiters rushed over, Zhou Shen had already let go of the mouth of the beautiful waitress, allowing her to collapse on the ground and pick her throat desperately, he picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the grease on the handle.

And the beautiful waitress just vomited twice, and then fell to the ground with a "poof" and passed out.

"Ah......h

The two waiters, a man and a woman, who rushed over, were so frightened that they retreated again and again when they saw this situation, and the woman was so frightened that she screamed.

And Zhou Shen continued to eat dinner slowly.

Although there was no food, there were a lot of dishes, and it was enough for him to eat.

Moreover, he learned a kind of exercise from the Nepalese ascetic, [Bigu Shiqi Method], and now the amount of food has been significantly reduced.

Soon the restaurant manager and the hotel manager arrived.

"Sir, you, why did you do that?"

"Don't question me, I'm going to ask you, I just checked into the hotel and someone came to poison me, what does that mean?"

"What do you say, our employees poisoned you, how is this possible?"

"Nothing impossible, I don't believe you can eat this black pepper beef fillet rice bowl to know."

"This ......"

The restaurant manager and the hotel manager are looking at each other.

They don't know how to deal with this kind of thing, so they can only call the police.

And then there was no then.

The Vienna police did not come, and no one came to trouble him again, and the Hilton Hotel exempted him from three days of accommodation in order to make up for his fright, and also gave him a platinum card, which can enjoy a 20% discount on staying in Hilton hotels in the future.

Zhou Shen did not raise any objections to this.

……

The first day was just the beginning, and in the next two days, he was attacked in more than a dozen waves, and the attack methods were also varied.

Of course, he didn't show mercy, and all the killers who came sent them back to the West.

However, he found one thing, the people who came were divided into two groups, one group wanted to catch him alive, and the other group wanted to kill him.

So the means of attack are different, the former is a little milder, try to drug him, or attack him with a stun gun or a tranquilizer gun.

And the latter is much more ferocious, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and even bombs, if it weren't for the strong sixth sense that saved him again and again, the result is really hard to say.

At six o'clock in the morning of the fourth day, he opened his eyes on the mountain to the northwest of Vienna.

Those killers went one after another, causing his practice to be affected, so he didn't stay in a hotel for the past two nights, but ran to the mountain, and then went down the mountain during the day.

Habitually open the properties panel and take a look.

[Life: 90 years and 146 days]

[Stamina: 51.9]

[Energy: 50.7]

[Exercises: Huang Ting Neijing (Xiaocheng 1999/2000) Da Zhou Tian Carrying Gong (Master 1999/2000) Bigu Shiqi Method (proficient 499/500) Baduanjin (Grandmaster) Longevity Recipe (Grandmaster)]

【Status (Hidden)】

[Stat: 5.6]

Zhou Shen saw that his life expectancy had increased to 42 days, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"In these two and a half months, my lifespan has increased by 10 years, which is a happy thing, but it's a pity that Huang Ting's internal scripture level has been stuck on Xiaocheng for almost a month, and it has not been upgraded, which is a bit of a pity."

"But fortunately, life expectancy is increasing normally every day, and physical strength and energy value are also increasing with the growth of life span, so there is no rush to upgrade."

Then he looked at his stamina and stamina again.

"These two physical fitness charts have now both exceeded 50 points, and my physical fitness has now reached a very terrible level."

"50 points may seem like 5 times the limit of normal ordinary people, but in fact, it is not calculated in this way, because after reaching the limit, even if it increases by 1 point, the physical fitness is double that of ordinary top athletes, so 50 points, according to my estimate, should be equivalent to 50 times the physical fitness of ordinary human beings."

"But that's normal, my skin was able to withstand normal assault rifle bullets two months ago."

"You can jump off a cliff that is almost 30 meters high without any buffering."

"The body can walk under the sea at a depth of four or five hundred meters without any protection, and there is no need to worry about the pressure crushing his internal organs."

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but grin on his face.

Then he looked at the exercises and skills below.

The Bigu Eating Qi method is still stuck in the mastery.

"According to the Nepalese ascetic, although Bigu does not eat grains, it does not mean that there is no way to obtain energy, and under the premise of good practice, energy can be obtained by meditating and swallowing qi."

"This is a premise, it does not mean that meditation means that enough energy has been obtained, in the state of Bigu, the human body needs to consume energy, and the energy at the macro and micro levels can be obtained through the conversion of proteins, fats, and sugars in the body."

"The consumption of energy and matter like Qi must be supplemented by the material at the level of Qi, and Qi is not a macroscopic and microscopic level of matter, it exists at a more subtle level than the microscopic, called the submicroscopic level."

"In the state of Bigu, the human body also consumes the essence of qi, and if it cannot be replenished in time, it will consume the essence of the five organs to maintain the balance of the operation of qi in the human body."

Zhou Shen recalled in his mind what the ascetic had said, "This should be the reason why the ascetic is so thin, the essence qi in his internal organs is absorbed to maintain the operation of the qi in the human body, if I don't replenish my energy in time after upgrading my exercises, it is estimated that I will be sucked into a skeleton." ”

Then he looked at the bottom, and the [I Ching Tendon] increased his proficiency by more than a dozen points.

He just started learning the I Ching tendons ten days ago, because walking in inland cities in Europe, there is no sea, and he can't use the pressure of the sea to exercise the strength of the five internal organs, so he specially studied the I Ching tendons.

However, the I Ching tendons he learned were different from the I Ching tendons circulating in the market, but the original version collected by Master Shanzheng.

After getting the attribute panel, he found that the martial arts cheats on the Huaguo market had basically been modified, and a very small number of them were indeed for the purpose of optimization and improvement.

A small part of it is a weakened version deliberately released by some martial artists under the self-cherishing of the broom, which is understandable.

Just like the concept of "passing the fist but not the step, passing the step to beat the master", you have to keep one hand, and then in the end it will slowly be lost.

And most of them are specially modified by the relevant parties, because many exercises ordinary people really can't practice blindly, and if they don't practice well, they will really "go crazy", which will hurt the body at least and kill them at worst.

And if he practiced these modified exercises that had no effect, the icon would not appear on the attribute panel at all.

Just like the I Ching tendons, he actually practiced it in his hometown, but the icon never appeared.

"The I Ching tendons are known as easy bones, easy tendons, and easy marrow, and they are indeed not blown, I have just practiced to the master level, and my flesh and bone membrane have obviously become stronger, I don't know what the marrow will look like in the future?"

Zhou Shen looked at the attribute panel, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

At this moment, the mobile phone in the bag next to him rang.

He took his phone out of his bag, then opened his sleeping bag and got out.

He is not afraid of the cold, heavy snow falls, and dozens of degrees below zero will not affect him in any way, but there is snow on the top of the mountain, and the ground is also wet, so it is uncomfortable to sleep on it, so he specially got a sleeping bag.

He just came out to practice, not to be an ascetic like the Nepalese master.

glanced at his phone, the message was sent by Bai Ying, and after he scanned the information at a glance, he dialed a number and went out.

The phone was quickly connected, and a magnetic voice came from the other side of the phone.

"At nine o'clock in the morning, I'll be waiting for you in the café on the third floor of the Hilton Hotel."

After hanging up the phone, he put away his sleeping bag and stuffed it into his bag, then jumped down the hill with his travel bag on his back.

……

9 a.m., café on the third floor of the Hilton on Danube.

Vienna, where the weather has been gloomy for several days, unexpectedly shines out today, shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the café and casting a golden glow on the landscape-like marble tabletop.

In the window seat, David, the head of the operations section of the European Union's T Intelligence Agency, was sipping his coffee, and it was clear from his constantly circulating gaze that he was not as calm as he appeared.

At this moment, Zhou Shen walked over from the end of the café, wearing disposable hotel slip-ons on his feet.

As he appeared, at least four or five people in the café looked up at him at the same time, and several of them reached under the table.

Zhou Shen didn't look at these people, and went straight to David and sat down.

His gaze scanned his face for a moment, and he grinned, "You look like James Bond." ”

"You're not the first person to say that." David also smiled elegantly and said, and then asked, "Mr. Zhou called me over, is this planning to surrender?" You can rest assured, we don't actually have any malicious intentions, we just want Mr. Zhou to cooperate with us to do some scientific experiments. ”

Zhou Shen grinned and said, "Don't you feel blushing when you say these words?" You guys killed six operatives, and you made me surrender? ”

David smiled confidently: "The process is not important, the important thing is the result!" Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me, would you? ”

Zhou Shen laughed and said, "Mr. James, you are so humorous!" I called you over, just to inform you that I was too lazy to play with you. ”

"From today onwards, if you dare to harass me again, I will immediately run to the headquarters of the T Intelligence Agency and burn down your headquarters with a fire, I don't believe you can try it! Anyway, if it's a big deal, I'll go back to China, what can you do with me? ”

David: "......"

The cat and mouse game is played well, and suddenly it wants to go big, how can this be done?

David thought quickly in his heart, weighing the pros and cons.

As one of the heads of the operations department of the European Union's T Intelligence Agency, David has far more information than ordinary people, and he knows that the person in front of him is extremely dangerous.

He had always been lucky before, thinking that as long as he wasn't tough and tough, he might have a chance to catch him.

Now it seems that I was a little naïve to think about it.

The man seemed to have a keen sense of danger, and several arrest attempts they devised failed to do so, resulting in the death of five or six high-ranking operatives.

The purpose of their arrest of Zhou Shen was nothing more than that the medical school in the bureau wanted to extract a little blood from him for research, because they knew that he was definitely unwilling, so they used force.

The other Chow Shen didn't have anything to covet from them.

Now that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, there is no need for a strong grasp.

Thinking of this, David said very happily: "OK, this matter is over, I promise Mr. Zhou that the T Intelligence Bureau will not come to harass you again in the future, and I sincerely apologize here for my previous behavior." ”

……

At six o'clock in the evening, I stayed in Limilan.

Tonight is the 70th birthday of a certain fashion godfather, and countless celebrities, gentry, dignitaries and nobles gather in Limilan to start a night of carnival here.

And Gardner, a well-known tobacco and liquor merchant who is a friend of the fashion godfather, or who prefers to be called a "fashion dreamer", is naturally impossible to be absent.

However, Gardner, who is usually very high-profile, rarely stopped in front of the camera lens this time, but hurried across the red carpet surrounded by bodyguards, and after entering the main venue to congratulate the fashion godfather, he left with his entourage.

However, Gardner had just gotten into the bulletproof car under the protection of the bodyguard, and the next second the bodyguard flew out, followed by the door being opened from the outside, and a figure sat in the cockpit, and then pointed a finger on his temple.

The figure vanished.

The head of the Bird Group died so quietly.

The next day, the media reported his death, the cause of death - cerebral hemorrhage!

……

University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

This is Han Bo's second year at the University of Amsterdam.

For this university, Han Bo is really satisfied, the Netherlands ranks first, the world ranks 58, and ranks in the top 10 among all universities in Europe, with triple accreditation for business AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS, strong scientific research ability, high teaching quality, and sufficient scientific research funding, with an annual scientific research funding of more than 600 million euros.

In short, he is really satisfied with the school and cherishes every day of studying here.

However, he really hates some Gao Hua in the school, these guys are like toads, they don't bite but respond to people.

At a quarter past six in the morning, he came to the boxing club on time to learn boxing.

This is his biggest hobby in addition to studying, when he was in China, he participated in the university martial arts club, and after coming to this university, there was no martial arts club in the school, so he learned boxing.

Only with a good body can we study better and serve the motherland.

I practiced in the boxing club until half past seven, and then I took a shower and went to class.

As soon as I got there, I saw a few Gao Hua licking a few other white students, how cheap they looked.

Han Bo didn't speak, silently walked to the front row and sat down, took out the book and read it silently.

When a few Gao Hua saw Han Bo coming, they immediately became angry.

"No matter how much you Chinese study, you Chinese will never be able to catch up with the West."

"Computers are so powerful, they can calculate hundreds of millions of times in a second, why can't they catch up with people's intelligence? Because it doesn't have a brain, it can't think. ”

"It's as flashy as Chinese martial arts, it's all some donkey dung and eggs."

"A few days ago, I also saw a student on the domestic Internet, what is the name of the ghost there, reading for the rise of China, it really made me laugh."

"Yes, I don't know if his parents have paid off the mortgage?"

ps: I cut some of the plot of the Special Intelligence Bureau, and so does the killer organization, and I feel like everyone doesn't like to watch that kind of plot in the background. I chased some of them, so I still focus on cultivation and immortality, and don't mess up those messy organizational figures
