Chapter 40: Epiphany

When Wu Zheng knocked the three of them to the ground, he didn't continue, but stood in the bookstore and looked at them coldly.

At this time, the person who was injured to the ankle by Wu Zheng just now was no longer ouching, the three of you, look at me, I look at you, and didn't say a word. Soon, the two young men who were kicked in the chest by Wu Zheng supported the one who injured their ankles and left silently.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore, since Wu Zheng made a move, he was like he was stunned, and he had been hiding next to him and watching. It wasn't until the three young men left that they reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward and took Wu Zheng's hand and asked:

"Little brother, little brother, are you okay?"

"Shopkeeper Duan, I'm fine. I'm afraid your bookstore won't be able to open. ”

While pulling out the hand that was being held by Shopkeeper Duan, Wu Zheng said worriedly.

"Alas, in this world, it is really not easy for ordinary people to eat together. If it weren't for the fact that this bookstore was left by my ancestors, I would have quit a long time ago. A year of hard work is not enough for them to collect. ”

"Shopkeeper Duan, who are they?"

"I just heard that the person behind them is the son of the Liyang Mansion Yin above. There are almost no shops in the county town on the interface of Liyang Mansion that can be paid without paying money. Not only that, but I've heard recently that they seem to be reaching out to the market town below. ”

Growing up in Wujiabao since childhood, the Wu family is not only the largest clan in Wujiabao, but also advocates martial arts, naturally no outsiders dare to bully the Wu family, even if it is a distant relative such as Wu Zheng's family, it can only eat the anger of the people in the clan, so Wu Zheng does not understand the outside world.

"Shopkeeper Duan, then you ....... ”

"Forget it, my arms can't reach my thighs, so I'd better pay this year's money honestly, close the business, and find another way out next year. It's just that the little brother provoked them tonight, but be careful. Listening to your accent, it doesn't seem to be a local, listen to your uncle's persuasion, and hurry back to your hometown to hide. ”

Hearing what Shopkeeper Duan said, Wu Zheng didn't explain much, turned around to say goodbye to Shopkeeper Duan, and returned to the small courtyard the same way. Closing the gate and standing in the courtyard, Wu Zheng cleaned up the mess in his mind, calmed down and tried to pay attention to the trajectory of the messy footprints running slowly in his mind again.

To Wu Zheng's surprise, this time he saw three clear and motionless footprints.

And before I can't see a breath before, I will feel dizzy, suffocated, and even want to vomit.

Surprised, Wu Zheng paid close attention to the three footprints, only to find that they were not stationary, but they were much slower than the other messy footprints, and in comparison, they seemed to have stopped.

Moreover, the trajectory of those three footprints happened to be the two steps that were subconsciously used when fighting with the three gangsters who collected money just now. The first is to tap the toe of the right foot on the ankle of the left foot, and the second is to grab the arms of the two people, follow their upward momentum, and volley the action of kicking the chest of the two people.

Wu Zheng was really excited. Just three footprints helped him defeat three gangsters who were several years older than him, and if he could perfectly match the moves of "Lingxiao Nine Styles", wouldn't it be even more powerful?

This night, Wu Zheng barely closed his eyes, and his mind had been repeatedly observing the three footprints, which were much slower than the other seven hundred and seventeen footprints.

Before dawn, Wu Zheng only squinted slightly, then got up and got dressed again, simply locked the doors and windows, and walked out of Causeway City directly.

Of course, Wu Zheng didn't listen to Duan's shopkeeper's words and wanted to go out to hide. He was going to the suburbs to find a secluded and spacious place, and practice what he had learned, the first form of "Lingxiao Nine Styles" - like a bamboo, and the trajectory of the three footprints he had just written. Let's see if we can make the two fit together more perfectly.

This is the first time Wu Zheng has left the city since he came to Causeway City.

Wu Zheng came out of the north city gate, walked not far along the official road, and saw a low hill in the east, which was overgrown with trees, turned around and ran over. Soon he came to the woods, found an open space more than three times the size of a small yard to live in, and sat down leaning against a poplar tree with the thick mouth of a bowl.

Before practicing, Wu Zheng had to go through it in his mind a few more times.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and the red sunlight shone through the sparse branches of the fallen leaves, and after a while, Wu Zheng felt warm on his body.

I couldn't help but think of the description of the power of light in "Nine Styles of the Sky".

is a short sentence, but Wu Zheng can't figure it out.

"There are a thousand kinds of light, and there is one potential. Drive away the darkness and go straight forward, without hesitation. Walking in the dark night, although it can be seen from afar, it is not deep when it enters the clear water. ......。 ”

Wu Zheng, who understood that it would be impossible for him to figure it out for a while, habitually continued to recall other sentences in "Lingxiao Nine Styles":

Everything in the world has a "potential":

For example, the heat goes up and the cold goes down.

The clear air rises, and the turbid gas falls.

For example, the river is high and the sea is low, and the mountain is high and the valley is low.

For example, the seed germinates and grows taller and taller, and the fruit ripens and naturally falls.

For example, the stars are vast, but there is gravity to maintain the distance and order between each other.

For example, the land is vast, but it is difficult to hide the natural trend from high to low.

......

Hungry tigers eat sheep, sheep eat grass, but grass grows in sunshine and rain.

Such a natural cycle can be called the law of nature.

Although it is said that the weak eat the strong, but the weak must be weak, and the strong must be strong?

Water, the softest and weakest thing in the world, can drip through hard rocks, that is, the so-called "droplet stone wears".

Refined iron, the strongest and strongest thing in the world, can become soft after refining.

The former is from weak to strong, and time plays a key role.

The latter turns from strength to softness, and the key role in this is tempering.

Time comes from nature, and tempering comes from man.

......

The place of the potential is visible but not touchable, just like a bow and an arrow, when the arrow is on the string but not fired, it creates the most understandable "potential". Therefore, the second style of "Lingxiao Nine Styles" is called "Powerful as a crossbow".

............

Thinking about it, Wu Zheng, who was originally sitting on the ground, slowly stood up.

I saw that the feet under me flickered east and west, left and right, and the body also moved with the fluttering footsteps, constantly adjusting the center of gravity and adjusting the posture.

At the same time, Wu Zheng's hands are like butterflies wearing flowers, from the armpits, from the waist, from the ears, from the shoulders, from the beginning of the traces to follow, to the later traceless, from the initial reasonable, to incredible.

It seems that the trees around him are also undergoing subtle changes with Wu Zheng's body.

First, with Wu Zheng's swaying from side to side, his body was slowly shaking.

Then, Wu Zheng's movements became faster and faster, more and more erratic, so that there was an inexplicable tension in the entire grove, like a bow and arrow full of strings, and the "potential" contained in it would shoot out at any time.

So, the poplar tree with the thickness of the bowl mouth behind Wu Zheng began to tilt towards Wu Zheng's back, and then tilted, and finally broke off with a "click", and the slender trunk with the crown without a few leaves slammed down on Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng, who seemed to be unconscious, turned around one hundred and eighty degrees without warning when the branches on the canopy were about to end, and turned from facing his back just now to facing it.

I saw that Wu Zheng's hands were placed against each other in front of his chest, as if swimming in water, his hands were soothingly parted to the sides of his body, and the trunk of the poplar tree with the thickness of the bowl mouth that fell down was actually split in two, and each fell to the ground on the left and right sides of his body with Wu Zheng's gestures.

Undisturbed by the sound of the canopy falling, Wu Zheng maintained a posture of leaning forward like a clay sculpture, standing there motionless.

Obviously, Wu Zheng is in a state of epiphany.

Until the sun gradually rose overhead, and the warm sunlight shone directly on the back of Wu Zheng's head, Wu Zheng suddenly retracted his body leaning forward and raised his head and roared.

Excitement, in addition to excitement or excitement!

Not only did he perfectly combine the "Lingyun Footwork" with the first form of the "Lingxiao Nine Styles" that he had already learned, but he even inadvertently even learned the second style of "Lingxiao Nine Styles", the crossbow, Wu Zhengyan couldn't be excited? !
