.

Lu Xuan took his eyes back from the window, leaving the quiet street where only pedestrians occasionally passed, he looked at the date of the Russian newspaper on the beige sofa, and found that he had left the "Third St. Petersburg".

Now I live in a small hotel in the northern part of the capital of Adygea, "Maikop".

This is the designated place for visitors to the Adygea Ancient Martial Arts Association, and although it is small, it is exquisite and tranquil.

For Lu Xuan, the trip to "Third St. Petersburg" was generally successful, because he not only got the "Alien Mother Crystal", but also solved a trouble for Qiao Qiao that she had to face---- Cheng Haofeng.

However, the army led by Tasia did not find Cheng Haofeng's body.

Qiao Qiao reminded him that Cheng Haofeng, as the strongest individual soldier of the Black Pages Company, has many survival props in addition to his extremely strong martial arts.

In other words, although Lu Xuan abolished Cheng Haofeng's martial arts, he still had the possibility of surviving.

Lu Xuan didn't care about this result, even if he could survive, even if he could miraculously recover his martial arts, Lu Xuan would be sure to defeat him.

On the third day of his return from "Third St. Petersburg" to the capital of Adygea, "Maikop", Jojo left.

She said that after going through so many thrilling things, she was going back to Hong Kong for a month's vacation, and while she was on vacation, she would not give Lu Xuan any work during this month.

So Lu Xuan decided to live a leisurely life for a month in Adygea, a small country in the Russian Federation.

In fact, this leisurely life cannot be regarded as completely leisurely. Because he has to do three things every day.

The first is to give Nastasia a lesson and teach Tasia the "Ancient Recipe True Qi" of "Taiyi Ancient Recipe", that is, "Heaven and Earth Killing Qi".

On a luxury cruise ship in Iceland, Tasia has already seen the "Taiyi Ancient Formula". And later, he also talked to Sun Bonian in detail about the "Taiyi Ancient Formula", which is an irresistible temptation for every martial artist who has cultivated Taiyi's true qi, so Tasya also tried to practice the "Taiyi Ancient Formula" by herself.

She didn't know that this was a trap, and she didn't know that once the "Taiyi Ancient Technique" began to cultivate, it was a path of no return, and she had to break through a realm every once in a while. Keep moving forward in order to survive.

It is impossible for a martial artist who has only seen a part of the "Taiyi Ancient Formula" to continue to advance on his own, and at this time, in order to survive, he must hand himself over to the Chinese Ancient Martial Arts Association to manipulate.

This was originally Sun Bonian's conspiracy, and after letting the ancient martial arts cultivators go to the Dao, he would send someone to tell them the truth. Let them choose to live. Or take Sun Bonian's manipulation.

However, Tasia rejected the "kindness" brought by Yin Quan, refused to become a registered disciple of Sun Bonian, and chose to become Lu Xuan's fourth apprentice.

Because in Tasia's view, Lu Xuan is more like a simple martial artist.

Regarding the wishful thinking of this military disciple, Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't say anything, and he couldn't tell her that he also coveted the country behind her.

In the daily lectures, the two of them don't talk much, one teaches and one learns. One question and one answer, except for the discussion of martial arts, it can be said that there is no communication in other places, and even if Liu Li, Tasya's adjutant in the Third St. Petersburg, is pursuing gossip like her, Lu Xuan will not talk about it.

But the two quickly recognized each other's master-apprentice status.

Tasia is gifted in martial arts. completely exceeded Lu Xuan's expectations. Lu Xuan found that although she was not the kind of martial artist who was good at innovation, she was the best student. Because no matter what you learn, you can learn it and you can understand it at one point.

And the part of Tasia that Lu Xuan admires the most is that she is hard working and diligent, and among the apprentices she has accepted, she is the only one who has the same assiduous cultivation attitude as herself.

Feng Jie, an apprentice in his previous life, can almost be regarded as a somewhat lazy guy in martial arts training, indulging in mecha and unable to extricate himself, learning martial arts purely to make his master happy.

Among the apprentices in this world, the eldest apprentice Gu Wu has the lowest talent, and in the greeting emails to himself every year, you can see his Gu Wu progress, and almost all of them are in a state of stagnation.

The second apprentice, Ekman, is due to the limitation of talent, and secondly, as the president of the American Gambling Association, he who controls the entire American gambling industry, and he can't put too much energy into practicing martial arts, and all he can do is barely complete the basic homework assigned by Lu Xuan.

However, Ekman's apprentice can be said to be quite competent, and when the master is in danger or needs him, he will rush to Lu Xuan's side as soon as possible.

During the New Year's holidays, I will also send gifts to the master's agent.

Every year when Lu Xuan personally went to Las Vegas to teach martial arts, he would entertain Lu Xuan meticulously.

Although Lu Xuan, who was born in a big family, has no nostalgia for a comfortable life since he was a child, he still understands the careful hospitality of his old apprentice.

Although the relationship between the two was originally due to Lu Xuan's input of the "Heaven and Earth Killing Qi" that he experienced, now whether it is a master or an apprentice, they are quite dutiful.

As for the third apprentice Huo Qi, it can be said that he is the most talented one, and he is born with no strength, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable person in the world for "breaking the sky with one hand".

Huo Qi is not so much a natural fanaticism for martial arts, but an inexplicable fanaticism for killing.

Huo Qi, who is extremely talented, has the common disadvantage of most smart people, that is, because he is smart, he is not very willing to work hard and diligently to repeat cultivation.

Lu Xuan has always been too coercive on his apprentices' cultivation methods, which should be a habit developed from the first apprentice, Feng Jie.

So when he received an apprentice like Tasia who was like himself in terms of diligence and hard work, Lu Xuan was still happy from the bottom of his heart.

In addition to teaching Tasia as an apprentice, another thing Lu Xuan had to do every day was to "digest" the "Alien Mother Emperor Crystal" in his body.

In the process of the crystal being inhaled into the body by Lu Xuan, two steps were processed. One is liquefaction, the other is gasification, and what Lu Xuan is doing now is the third step, true elementalization. This powerful ball of True Qi energy placed in the Qi Sea was transformed into True Yuan and completely digested it.

For example, Lu Xuan expects that the progress of "isocrystalline energy" will be slower, with a daily progress of about one percent, and in the past month, the absorption completion rate is twenty percent.

If this progress continued, it would take at least three months for Lu Xuan's to fully digest this "Isomorphic Energy" and make his cultivation break through to the innate fifteenth level.

Once you reach the innate fifteenth level. Lu Xuan was able to dissolve the "Reverse Thunder Force" that had been hidden in his body, which was not only an increase in strength, but also equivalent to being able to restart the forbidden "Breaking the Sky with One Hand".

Lu Xuan is very clear about the truth of "if you want to hurry, you can't reach it" in martial arts, and he has always been a person who can calm down.

But the current situation does not allow Lu Xuan to move forward step by step, and he must find a way to quickly absorb the "isomorphic energy" in his body.

When a large number of repeated training cannot achieve results, Lu Xuan will not blindly practice.

So he found one more thing for himself every day, which is the third thing to do every day.

Early morning was Lu Xuan's cultivation time. The morning was Lu Xuan's time to teach Tasia martial arts. In the afternoon, it was Lu Xuan's time to travel. Under the warm winter sun, Lu Xuan walked about three kilometers to the end of this quiet street lined with plane trees, and then took the subway through the city to the south of the city.

The old district south of the city is the least populated area of the city, and the urban area is even a little deserted.

Lu Xuan's end point is a very inconspicuous small park, although the sparrows are small, there are all kinds of organs, woods, and small squares. Swings and white doves are readily available, so compared to this deserted urban area, it is still a little popular.

Lu Xuan came to this place to be a student.

Initially, Tasia recommended it to Lu Xuan. Say this she stumbled upon in a small park. There is a very good Russian shamisen player who comes to this place whenever she is troubled and irritable. After listening to this old Chinese man's performance, his mind will be wonderfully calmed.

Because of his experience as a piano teacher, Lu Xuan also had some interest in music, and he came to this place under the strong recommendation of his apprentice Tasia.

When he sat on a bench in the square and listened to the third piece played by the old man with a small audience, he decided to learn to play the shamisen with the old man.

Because of the first two songs, one melodious and one cheerful, Lu Xuan listened to it comfortably but did not feel too special.

But after the third unknown piece was played, Lu Xuan felt a strange feeling in his heart, this qin song seemed to be something he had been looking for, but had never found.

Lu Xuan knew very well that he was only interested in music, and there was absolutely no possibility of musical pursuit, so after hearing this song, Lu Xuan was also a little surprised by his instinctive reaction.

Why is this so?

This third piece has a feeling of familiarity and strangeness, like a missing link in his pursuit, and like something that will bring about a crisis, what is it? Lu Xuan felt that he had never grasped the point.

So he consulted the performer, the white-haired, skinny old Chinese, who was inconspicuous in every way, and told him that this piece was not from Russia, but from his hometown in China.

There are a total of twelve ancient songs, and the difficulty of playing them is quite high, and he said very bluntly that if Lu Xuan is interested, he can teach him.

Lu Xuan, who was already going to learn, naturally did not refuse, but Lu Xuan was immediately told that learning the Russian-style shamisen from the old man was to pay tuition, and it was obvious that he was not the only student of the old man.

It turned out that the old man named Ma Lianliang had a community center in a small park and rented a classroom to teach shamisen lovers.

Lectures begin at 2 p.m. each day and last for an hour, followed by separate classes for some students at a "special fee".

Lu Xuan is a student who "pays special fees" and increases class hours.

After his public lecture, he would have an hour and a half of "ancient music teaching" with the shamisen teacher.

Although public lectures are not the part that Lu Xuan is interested in, out of respect for the teacher, he will attend as usual.

Because there are not many people in class, even if Lu Xuan doesn't have much intersection with his classmates, after half a month, they are familiar with each other, at least they will smile and nod when they meet.

The people who come here to teach are either the old people or the children, most of the old people learn the shamisen to pass the time, and the children are forced to come by their parents.

Usually in class, Lu Xuan sits quietly by the window on the left side of the classroom, enjoying the lazy afternoon sun.

Aside from being told by the teacher to play, his presence in the classroom is not very strong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of today's class, everyone is out of class. ”

A burly man with brown hair and sunglasses kicked open the wooden door of the classroom.

Most of the students in the classroom looked at this scene in shock, but Ma Lianliang didn't have any surprised expression on his face, he instead laughed and said, "Let's go, I have some personal matters today, I'm sorry to stop today's lecture, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Everyone looked at the gloomy brown hair and black suit, and the two menacing attendants behind him, all hurriedly packed up their things and rushed out of the classroom as if they were fleeing.

Lu Xuan, like everyone else, silently packed his things and prepared to leave.

His character has never been easy to get involved in other people's affairs.

Although the three black suits looked unfriendly, judging from Ma Lianliang's expression, it was not the first time they had dealt with each other.

"Brother Lu, shall we leave like this?"

Joseph, the blonde boy beside Lu Xuan, asked in a low voice.

Little Joseph is the child who likes to stick to Lu Xuan the most in this music classroom, and most of the other children will leave with interest when they see Lu Xuan not talking.

Little Joseph always "harassed" Lu Xuan very seriously, and helped Lu Xuan, a "beginner" who had just entered the class, as a "senior", to teach some basic knowledge of the shamisen.

"Well, let's go, the teacher has his own business. ”

Lu Xuan held his things in one hand and picked up little Joseph's three-stringed piano with the other.

Little Joseph followed behind Lu Xuan with some hesitation, and secretly looked back at the three people from time to time as he walked.

Leaving the classroom on the fifth floor and coming to the door of the community center building, Lu Xuan asked Joseph if he wanted to take the subway together.

Because from the small park to the subway station, there are several roads to cross, Joseph's mother is very worried, so she asked his "big brother" Lu Xuan, who has a "good relationship", to help him get on the subway.

"Brother Lu, wait for me, I suddenly thought that the textbooks I will use in school tomorrow are still in the storage area on the third floor, I will go and get them, and I will be back immediately. ”

"Hmm. ”

After about five minutes, little Joseph still didn't come back, and Lu Xuan was about to go up to the third floor to find him, but he heard Ma Lianliang's panicked exclamation from upstairs, "Don't." ”

A figure was thrown out of the fifth-floor window.

Little Joseph was thrown from the fifth floor!
