Chapter 3: The Past

The moonlight is like water, the peach orchard is quiet, the dark and faint shadows of the trees are deep, and in the distance, there is a faint dog barking.

Le Chen lay softly on the hardwood bed of the adobe house at the entrance of the orchard, without a trace of strength.

In his hand, suddenly seven or eight steel balls ticked and fell on the floor tiles.

Gritting his teeth, Le Chen slowly took off his shirt, took out a small glass medicine bottle from under the wooden straw mat, and sprinkled the medicine powder inside on the wound on his arm and right rib, a spicy breath came to his face, the wound seemed to be torn again, and the severe pain came, making Le Chen almost faint.

Panting heavily, Le Chen lay paralyzed on the wooden board, beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead oozed out, and he felt that his whole body was prostrating, and he couldn't exert any strength, fortunately, when he looked sideways, the blood from the wound gradually stopped.

The medicinal powder is a healing medicine, and Le Chen originally made it for fun, but he didn't expect that one day he would really use it.

I remembered the moment the shotgun roared just now, I suddenly felt that everything around me had become slow motion, and there seemed to be a force in my body rising into the sky, completely out of my control, and with a wave of my hand, I grabbed the steel ball that shot at my chest in my hand, and it seemed that I was shot and fell to the ground, but in fact I was only shot in the arm and right rib.

Fortunately, this is just a shotgun assembled by those gangsters privately, and the power is not very great, otherwise, shooting at close range, no matter what the power in one's body is, how can flesh and blood resist the lethality of firearms?

However, today is also a lesson, and if you hesitate, the kindness of the woman will almost die.

Gritting his teeth and looking at the wound on his arm, Le Chen snorted coldly, a little resentful of himself.

It's just a pity that the power in the body can't be completely controlled, otherwise it would be easy to kill these grass robbers.

The power in Le Chen's body was cultivated by him since he was a child according to the health preservation techniques of the ancient book, and he himself could not control these powers very well.

And that ancient book was inadvertently burned by my grandmother, otherwise I don't know if there is any skill in it to use the power in my body.

Le Chen sighed regretfully, but, according to the description in it, this strange book that should not exist in this world in the first place, it is also its innate fate to be destroyed, he can have it with him for more than ten years, and he has many of its contents firmly in his heart, which is already an unprecedented profound blessing.

From a very young age, when Le Chen was not illiterate, he was obsessed with a line-like ancient book at home, the ancient book was written by the early big seal, close to the hieroglyphs, and I don't know which dynasty and which generation made the book, and I don't know how to get to Le Chen's house, but Le Chen began to read it when he was illiterate, but because he was illiterate, he saw some doorways to see these words close to the hieroglyphs, and after he became literate in primary school, Le Chen found that this book was simply a strange book, including traditional medicine, health, astrology, Kanyu, Divination and other walks of life, the more he studied, the more Le Chen became obsessed with it.

At that time, it was Le Chen's happiest days, and he often went to the house of an old Chinese medicine doctor with a bad reputation, but after the sudden death of his parents, these happy days were gone.

Every time he exercised according to the method of qi induction described in the ancient books, Le Chen would think of his father and mother, and his mood was unusually low.

But that ancient book is very mysterious.

According to ancient records, in ancient times, the three lines of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism mastered the ancient Kanyu physiognomy technique, and even made talismans to alchemy to kill evil spirits and fight ghosts, etc., these more fantasy or feudal superstition things existed in the past.

These enlightened thaumaturgical Xuanmen people have different pursuits, including the great grand desire to participate in the battle for the change of dynasty and the change of the world, the life master who is willing to participate in the battle for the change of the dynasty and the world, the life master who is willing to run around for the life of the common people and bless thousands of people even though they die without regrets, the illusionist who can charm the world through the mystery, and the monk who pursues immortality and hopes to live with heaven and earth, and so on.

Le Chen used to just laugh at it, thinking that this book was really tricky and feudal, but that's it.

But with Le Chen's in-depth understanding of ancient books and exercising according to the health preservation techniques of ancient books every day, he really felt that his body strength was getting stronger and stronger, so the original conclusion in his heart was a little shaken.

And just a month before Grandma burned the book by mistake, Le Chen asked for advice and hundreds of rare words, and finally translated the preface on the first few pages of the ancient book that he had been pondering and not understanding.

These pages of preface are obviously not written in the same era as the ancient books, but added by later generations, because the ancient books are the most primitive seals, especially close to the hieroglyphs, so Le Chen has seen many doorways since he was a child, and if he is a literate person, his thoughts have a fixed mind, and many things will not be seen clearly.

The preface of the ancient book is written in cursive, which is obviously written by later generations, because it is the wild grass written by the ancients, and some words have troubled Le Chen for many years.

It was this preface that introduced Le Chen to a metaphysical realm that he had never thought of before.

The preface says that this ancient book is a strange book, but the book is nameless, but the author of the preface believes that "the study of mathematics comes from this", and "this book should be the first in the world".

He also said that in the past year, Zhang Jiaode "Taiping Qing Lingdao", realized the illusion of calling the wind and rain and scattering beans into soldiers, dug Liu's dragon vein, called "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", set up the Yellow Turban Road, broke Liu Han's luck, and opened the source of the troubled times.

He also said that if Zhuge Wuhou got this book, his vain attempt to steal the sky and change the day against the sky might be successful, "Longzhong's strategy, how can it blind the way of heaven?"

Le Chen was taken aback when he saw this, according to historical records, Zhang Jiao was the leader of the peasant rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was he who led the Yellow Turban Army to revolt, sounded the horn to bury the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also opened the Three Kingdoms era in which countless heroes flowed for centuries and made future generations enthusiastic.

And Zhuge Wuhou needless to say, all kinds of story film and television works are rendered, and the god-like characters on the land of Shenzhou.

But in this way, the two big figures, even from the perspective of modern textbook history, are characters who go against the sky, but the author of the preface dares to criticize them, and thinks that if the two can get this book, maybe they will be able to blind the heavens, steal the sky and change the day, and achieve a dynasty of new luck.

Is this book really that powerful?

In the past, whether it was an ancient book or the unknown author of the preface, Le Chen was skeptical, and as a result of modern education, he was cultivating his body and mind according to the secret method of this ancient book, but his habitual thinking still hoped to find a scientific explanation.

But now Le Chen hopes that this ancient book really has great magical powers, so that he can one day explore the mysteries of the world.

Because, he wants to know how his father and mother died, he doesn't believe it, his father will commit suicide after releasing the fugitive, and his mother will die in a car accident the next day, Le Chen doesn't believe it, how can he not believe it! Countless nights, these problems are like maggots on the tarsal bones, which makes him feel painful, he believes that there must be a mastermind behind the scenes who killed his father and mother, and it seems that there are a pair of cold eyes watching him in the dark, all of which makes him breathless!

He had already vowed in his heart that in this life, no matter how many difficulties and dangers he encountered, he would definitely uncover the truth about his parents' death!
