Chapter 22 A Brush with Death

Wang Xuan put down the body-shu secret book with yellowed paper and picked up a golden bamboo slip from the pre-Qin period.

It is only eight centimeters long, very heavy, not like bamboo, and as gentle as jade. It was given by Aoki when he joined the expedition organization.

According to Zhao Qinghan, over the past decades or hundreds of years, a total of four golden bamboo slips have been unearthed from the old soil, two of which have been scrambled by various parties and have been scattered.

Wang Xuan estimated that a complete golden bamboo slip should cost dozens of pieces. It would be too difficult to collect them all.

He looked at the engravings on it. The creature with a human head and a snake body was lifelike, but it was difficult to understand its meaning. There were too few samples to fully understand it.

He put the bamboo slips aside. On the road of old skills, he needed to accumulate slowly. There was no need to stare at the pre-Qin wonders from the beginning.

In the early morning, Wang Xuan went to practice the alchemist's root method. He would go to work in two days. He cherished the peaceful life now.

When he came back covered in sweat and saw the golden secret book on the desk again, Wang Xuan couldn't help but walked over.

After careful observation and identification, he was convinced that the yellowed scriptures were ancient relics and not old-fashioned, but the records in the books were too deceptive.

In the end, he couldn't hold it back. After washing up, he changed a special phone card and contacted Aoki of the expedition organization via a secret line to ask for advice.

After hearing his rough description, Aoki burst out laughing and said: "The ancients all had a problem, they liked to exaggerate, saying that hundreds of years and thousands of years are all water, just to show the true nature. The skill is extraordinary, just listen. Wait a minute, I remembered that the physical skill of Jin Shen seems to be very famous. It first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty. I don’t remember the specific details clearly. ”

"You can practice this physical technique, but remember not to be superstitious about it. Not to mention the back, it will take hundreds of years to master the first seven or eight levels. Who are you kidding? Just imagine if it is true. According to the scripture, where did the original author go? He was from the Northern Song Dynasty. If he had reached the thirteenth level, wouldn't he be alive now? But someone in later generations seems to have discovered his tomb."

After Wang Xuan put down the phone, he felt complicated.

Originally, he still had some unrealistic ideas. If the Golden Body Technique was so credible, there might not be a new world at the end of the old technique!

As a result, Aoki's words directly made him understand how unreliable the ancients were.

"Original author of Golden Body Technique, I remember you, and Zhou Mingxuan, I also remember you!"

Soon after, Wang Xuan went out to Xinxing The classmates will leave across the galaxy tomorrow, and Professor Lin will go back on the same starship with them.

When they parted, he naturally wanted to visit Professor Xia Lin again and see him off in advance. He would not be able to approach the spaceship tomorrow.

Professor Lin has gray hair and a slightly fat body, but is very energetic.The color is not bad, the face is red, and the laughter is full of energy.

"Don't complain, the ancients were like this sometimes and liked to exaggerate, but the physical skill of Golden Body is indeed not simple. It is said that after practicing it, you will be invulnerable. The founder is named Zhou Yungong, he is a legendary figure. His skin was many times more powerful than the best armor. He lived to be more than 150 years old and died in the Shu Mountains. During the Ming Dynasty, tomb robbers visited his tomb, allowing the secret golden body skills he left behind to be revealed. This person is still very powerful, and there are records in unofficial history."

Wang Xuan Wuyan, a man who has lived for more than 150 years, how can he figure out how long it takes to practice. Thousands of years of physical skills?

He sighed for a while, there were many big liars among the ancients.

However, Zhou Yungong was visited by tomb robbers. It was indeed a bit miserable to have his tomb robbed.

Wang Xuan admired Professor Lin endlessly. He was really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He had dug out the roots of the original author of the Golden Body Technique and knew more than Aoki.

"Don't underestimate the physical skill of Golden Body. It can make Zhou Yungong live for more than 150 years, which speaks for itself. In addition, it is said that when the tomb robbers dug him out, , His body has not yet been completely rotten and is so hard that even an iron sword cannot cut it. You must know that he had been dead for two or three hundred years at that time."

Wang Xuan's heart was filled with confusion. Looking forward to it!

In this era, a hot weapon can eliminate the masters in the field of old arts. If you can master the golden body technique, your life will become hardened directly.

"Zhou Yunkong and Zhou Mingxuan both have the surname Zhou. Could it be that the former is the ancestor of the Zhou family?"

But soon Wang Xuan shook his head again. It was not such a coincidence. thing, and if it was an ancestral item, Zhou Mingxuan would not be able to give it away.

"This secret book is only more than two hundred years old based on the paper. It is estimated that it was copied by later generations. After studying it, I think it should be a true scripture."

Since Professor Lin was unable to practice the war, he turned to theoretical research and research on various old techniques and ancient methods. He has a sharp vision and accurate judgment.

Wang Xuan sighed: "Today's secret book touched me a lot. Since it is so exaggerated, are other ancient scriptures also like this?"

This is what he asked Professor Zhou for advice. The fundamental reason is that the secret book sent by Zhou Mingxuan disturbed Wang Xuan's mood.

Are the legends about old magic still credible? For example, the methods and paths left by the pre-Qin alchemists and others must have been infinitely exaggerated, right?

Professor Lin shook his head and said: "It's not as serious as you think. Exaggeration like the Golden Body Technique is just an example. Only a few scriptures are like this. It is mainly related to the historical environment at that time. For example At that time, even the official battle reports were like this. In one battle, only a few hundred people were beheaded and captured, but in the end it was reported that tens of thousands of enemies were defeated, and the corpses were everywhere. You can imagine what happened to the folk history."< /p>

Wang Xuan was speechless. Why did he feel that he needed to know a lot to practice old skills? In addition to searching Tao Zang, is it necessary toGo read more history?

Professor Lin added: "As for the strength of the pre-Qin alchemists, we can only draw the final conclusion after testing by some life research institutes in Xinxing."

Chaebols, research institutions, etc. have worked in A few corpses of alchemists from the Pre-Qin period have been excavated from the old soil. They have been tested and analyzed, and the conclusions are credible.

"So, don't doubt the brilliance of the old art. If you want to continue on this road, confidence is very important."

Wang Xuan suddenly became serious and said: "I'm here I didn’t know how to do it. I originally joined the old art experimental class because I was interested, but later I wanted to continue exploring.”

In the field of old art, he has never been superstitious. Following the footsteps of his predecessors, he will eventually verify this path by himself.

Professor Lin had some feelings and said: "Today's technological civilization is so dazzling that for those who practice old skills, they can always feel boundless and huge pressure."

Wang Xuan nodded. , but the belief in his heart has become stronger. If he reaches the end of the road and the old technique has no way, then he hopes that he can make a difference!

......

In the evening, Wang Xuan studied physical skills at his residence and understood the root method. Finally, he went downstairs to the outside of the forest area of ​​the community, facing the moonlight, and began to collect Qi and nourish it internally.

He emptied himself, his heart was extremely clear, and the soft and white moonlight filled his heart. At this time, he was transparent inside and outside, and his perception was super strong.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt that his forehead seemed to be tight and swollen, as if he was about to be pierced by some sharp weapon. His hair stood on end, and his heart was frightened. He subconsciously moved his body to the side, moving at high speed completely based on instinct.

Chi!

There was a soft sound, and he felt his temples heat up. A terrible air flow flew past his ears, and some hair strands broke off, giving off a burnt smell.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Wang Xuan disappeared into the dense woods of the community like an agile cheetah.

This is an old community. After decades of growth, the trees planted in the past have become towering trees. They are so lush that they instantly obscure Wang Xuan's figure.

Now Wang Xuan's eyes were as sharp as two sharp swords, staring coldly in a certain direction in the forest, while his heart was beating violently.

Just now, he was shot!

Death was only a finger away from him. If he had not moved his body sideways in advance, his head would have been penetrated and he would have died!

At that moment, he felt the terrifying airflow caused by the flying bullets. There was a strong wind beside his ears, brushing against his temples, and many hair strands broke off.

Who is it? To dare to use guns in residential areas like this is simply unscrupulous and beyond the imagination of normal people!

The control of guns in the old land has always been very strict. For ordinary citizens, they never worry about being shot for no reason, and the public security has always been very good.

But now, Wang Xuan has personally experienced a life and death crisis, and encountered such an extremely serious vicious incident.People wanted to kill him, and they had no scruples and went to a residential area to do it. It was really outrageous!

The opponent's gun was equipped with a silencer and did not alert others. Wang Xuan looked for the enemy in the silence.

He didn't rush out. He didn't know how many people had come secretly and how many guns they had. He suddenly took off his shirt, shook his hands and threw it out of the forest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, he heard three slight noises, and three bullet holes instantly appeared on his falling shirt. The sniper's strength was amazing, his response speed was super fast, and his marksmanship was frighteningly accurate.

Wang Xuan’s face was very cold. There were at least three gunmen with extraordinary strength just outside the fence of the community, waiting for the opportunity to shoot him.

He has even determined the locations of the three gunmen.

But he did not go out. Instead, he disappeared deep into the woods and hid behind a tree.

Because he secretly didn’t know if anyone was still uninitiated, he didn’t want to become someone else’s target on this moonlit night.

At this moment, the first thing that came to his mind was the Golden Body Technique.

If he masters this kind of physical skill, he will definitely not care if there are others in the dark, and will directly fight back and hunt down the enemy under the stars and moon.

Wang Xuan was very calm and did not act rashly.

He put on a special phone card, contacted Aoki, and explained the situation briefly and quickly.

"You did the right thing. There are no thermal weapons in your hands. Find a bunker and hide. Professionals will deal with it later. I will also go over and give you some equipment."

Aoki put it down. After the phone call, his face was extremely cold. Even he felt that those people were unscrupulous. This was a big city in the old land, and such a vicious shooting incident actually happened.

If you are exploring in the wild and some large organizations and chaebols meet, they may fight for the treasure. But there is one thing they must abide by. They must not open fire in the city or involve ordinary citizens.

Otherwise, the whole society will be in big trouble.

This is a tacit understanding, and it is also a conventional rule. All organizations and institutions abide by it, and few people dare to cause trouble.

Otherwise, the state will educate those organizations and institutions on how to behave. Although the old land has declined, certain bottom lines will always be there.

Wang Xuan climbed up a big tree and thought quietly, who wanted to kill him?

This happened to him just after he left campus.

He thought about some recent people and things, and went through all the people and forces related to him, with a cold light shining in his eyes.

First of all, he joined the expedition organization and went to Qingcheng Mountain for action yesterday. I wonder if he left any clues that might arouse the murderous intention of some people.

The forces involved include the Zhou family, the Ling family, and the Wu family, and the individuals involved include Jinchuan of the expedition organization.

Wang Xuan also included Wu Yin, whom he met for the first time last night, among his individuals.

In addition to these people and forces, he will move time to a moreLooking back in the distant past, Zhou Yun once had a personal dispute with him.

And Zhou Yun’s father, Zhou Mingxuan, is even more powerful.

In addition, going further, Wang Xuan thought that someone wanted to keep him in the old land and prevent him from going to Xinxing. Although it was not relevant this time, he still went through it.

Wang Xuan is full of murderous intent. He is guessing and deducing, which of these people and forces dares to brazenly shoot and kill people in residential areas in the city?

Who is it that is so ruthless and unscrupulous to get rid of him? !

If he dies, will someone quietly smooth away the traces without disturbing the outside world or causing any waves? The people and forces who took action seemed to be very confident!
