Part 18 ?

Chapter 18 Encounter

Jin Chuan sneaked into the underground palace to intercept Hu. Wang Xuan thought that there might be a fierce bloody conflict, but after a brief collision, the two sides retreated quickly.

Wang Xuan noticed that the relationship between the two parties was complicated.

During the return journey, the air in the small spaceship was heavy, there was a big hole in the kite's chest, the upper body was covered with blood, and the body was cold.

Several other groups also suffered casualties, and each left with their own people on their backs.

Aoki said: "I will make a private payment to Yaozi's family later."

He wore a blue mask on his face, no expression could be seen, and his words were calm, saying: "You get used to it after seeing it a lot, those who survive are explorers, and those who die are just passers-by.

Wang Xuan was silent, it was a fresh life, not long ago it was as strong as a tiger or leopard, but now it is covered with white cloth.

This kind of adventure is no longer tense, exciting, and mysterious. It gradually shows a terrifying side, and the participants walk between life and death.

Regarding the Qingcheng Mountain operation, the expedition organization has conducted an internal assessment, and its risk index is not high.

Aoki revealed that some expeditions occasionally encounter unnatural phenomena, which cannot be explained by common sense, and that is scary.

Heihu was wiping the alloy knife, the kite closed its eyes, and Lao Mu sighed. They were not in a high mood and were unwilling to speak. Obviously, they had experienced this kind of thing more than once.

They no longer remember how many batches their partners have changed.

"I'll retire completely after saving two more years." Kite suddenly said.

...

The return trip went smoothly, the spaceship landed in a manor in the suburbs, and the next few cars sent Heihu, Lao Mu and others away.

In the manor, Qingmu left Wang Xuan to speak.

"The five-page gold book, you can keep it for yourself. It may be a powerful physical skill, but I guess it belongs to the kind of thing that is extremely difficult to practice. You have to be mentally prepared."

Aoki only read the first page of the golden book, and felt dizzy. This involves the resonance of the internal organs, the exertion of force, as well as blood exchange and new life, etc. He has heard of such things before.

"A long time ago, there was a grandmaster in the field of old arts at Xinxing, who practiced something similar, and ended up killing himself."

Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard it.

Studying old techniques, can you practice yourself to death? !

"It involves blood exchange and regeneration of viscera. Although it is only for the activation of some organs, the temptation for the Grandmaster is huge. Once it is practiced, it will definitely live for decades."

That was a Grandmaster, but he was still dead, which is a bit scary.

In modern times, the old techniques have long since declined, and it is really rare for someone who can reach the very highest level of this path to be called a master.

It is estimated that it is difficult to find out in this era.

"Believe it or not, Xin Xing scooped up a lot of good things in his early years, and naturally someone can practice them to achieve great results. Of course, in the past few decades, old techniques have been ignored more and more, and this 'field' is completely barren."

The news from Aoki and Xinxing can be confirmed. It seems that Xinxing has discovered supernatural phenomena decades ago, and has already begun to dig?

"You must hold your breath, this kind of thing is not something you can practice if you have the heart, just this first page, I tried it just now, it doesn't work, and the internal organs feel as uncomfortable as being cut by a knife." Aoki actually said trembling.

He turned around, quickly removed the blue mask to wipe off the cold sweat, gasped heavily, his chest heaved violently, and the side face that he glanced at was extremely pale and lacking in blood.

He calmed down his turbulent blood and returned the golden book to Wang Xuan. Although he was reluctant to part with it, he was very human after all and restrained his emotions.

"Don't try indiscriminately, this is a reminder!" Aoki warned again, he didn't dare to read the next few pages, fearing that one day he couldn't help it and eventually killed himself.

Wang Xuan's face was serious, and he realized for the first time that physical training is so dangerous, which is even more extreme than root training.

"The root method is the root of the old technique, which enhances your inner physique and spirit, while the physical technique is the trunk and branches, which show your strength externally."

Going back to ancient times and ascending to mythology, the description of physical skills is even more exaggerated, highlighting... throwing elephants, breaking rivers and other methods.

Wang Xuan handed in the silver animal skin volume, which is the goal of the expedition organization this time.

Aoki wants to take the silver scripture away and find someone to evaluate it. If the value is far beyond imagination, Wang Xuan will be compensated.

Wang Xuan put forward his request and said: "If you decipher those words, please give me a note."

"No problem, after all, you discovered and brought back something." Aoki told him that the expedition organization was not stingy with its own people.

When parting, Aoki reminded Wang Xuan again, don't be reckless, the physical skills in the golden book may have a great background, if you practice directly, you will die.

He seriously suspected that it might be something left by Zhang Daoling.

Wang Xuan took a deep breath and was really shocked this time. Maybe the five golden pages are related to him?

Thinking about it carefully, it is really possible. There is a saying that Zhang Daoling lived in Qingcheng Mountain in his later years and finally emerged there.

Wang Xuan suddenly felt that the five-page gold paper might not be weaker than the silver scroll, so he put it away solemnly, and must study it carefully and carefully after returning.

Aoki agreed with him to take away the scanner, and then arranged for a car to take him back to the city.

Wang Xuan returned to the campus, packed up his things and prepared to leave. Today is the deadline, and the old art experiment class is completely over.

He only has some change of clothes, no big things to salute, and he can leave with his bag on his back, simple and fast.

Wang Xuan turned his head and took a last look at the familiar scenery, the tall teaching building, the clear water chestnut lake, the emerald garden with fluttering leaves... He turned and left.

Everything behind him is over, and he will officially plunge into the big dye vat of society from now on.

The house has already been rented, and the housekeeper cleaned it up two days ago. Wang Xuan went directly to buy bedding, towels, toothpaste and other daily necessities.

He was a little emotional, now he had to manage for his livelihood.

This gave Wang Xuan a very strange feeling. He had just left Qingcheng Mountain, and not long ago he was still exploring there, fighting with people, wandering between life and death.

Now that he returns to the city, he is busy with towels and toothbrushes. After two or three days, he will go to work and run around for his life.

He has a feeling of changing space and dislocation of time. Exploring Qingcheng Mountain, working and living from 9 to 5 are all his life trajectory, and his mood is complicated at the moment.

He didn't immediately tell Aoki about going to Xinxing. He had just joined this expedition organization and hadn't made any contribution yet, so he raised a very high request, which was a bit unrealistic.

But now he has a chance, after they evaluate the silver animal skin roll, he can talk to Aoki.

Wang Xuan was quick and agile, and bought all the necessary items at once, and a taxi took care of everything.

The place he rents belongs to an old community, and the environment is relatively good. The trees planted a long time ago have grown into towering trees, and the whole is very quiet.

The downside is that the facilities are relatively old and not modern enough.

He rented a one-bedroom house, which had just been renovated for two years, and it was pretty good overall.

Wang Xuan quickly arranged the daily necessities, laid out the bedding, etc., poured a glass of water, and sat down to rest.

His mobile phone has been turned off for a day, and after turning it on, there are indeed many messages and messages. He first called his parents and told them that everything is going well, and he will officially start work in two days.

Then, Qin Cheng's phone call came in.

"Old Wang, where did you go? I'm so anxious, I haven't turned on the phone for more than a day, and I can't find anyone. I thought you were killed by that bastard Zhou Yun. I am working with my class to help you. Revenge, ask for an explanation!"

He crackled and yelled so loudly that Wang Xuan's ears hurt from the shock.

Qin Cheng was really worried, fearing that Zhou Yun's revenge would be bad for Wang Xuan. After all, he was also a direct descendant of the Xinxing chaebol.

Wang Xuan really wanted to tell him that Xiao Zhou was severely beaten, his nose was broken, his arm was broken, and he was probably hating a mixed-race child, so he couldn't think about anything else.

But he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that after hearing Qin Cheng's loudspeaker, the whole world would know about it the next day.

Wang Xuan lowered the volume of the phone, held it farther away, and told him that he was meditating, and this time he was in a deep meditation, and the phone kept turning off.

"I'm leaving soon, and I haven't been able to find you. I'll treat you to dinner tonight and go to the top floor of Cangding Building!" Qin Cheng shouted proudly.

The restaurant in the Cangding Building, the higher the floor, the higher the consumption. As a fresh graduate, it would be a little guilty to go there only on your own salary.

Wang Xuan smiled and said, "You have changed your girlfriend's mind, so you want to celebrate?"

He doesn't worry about Qin Cheng's wallet, he knows that his family is rich, so he doesn't care about it.

"Hey, the prospects are not optimistic. How can I relieve my worries? The only way is to eat extravagantly, see you tonight!"

Wang Xuan sat in the room, flipped through the golden book, pondered carefully, and finally couldn't hold it back. According to the first few pictures on the first page, he resonated the five internal organs, and then exerted force according to a special rhythm.

In an instant, there was some pain in the internal organs, as Aoki said, this kind of thing is extremely difficult to practice.

But he was also a little suspicious, his face was not as pale as Aoki's after the practice, and he felt that this kind of pain was not outrageous, and he could bear it.

"Let's be more careful." He didn't dare to be careless, because this might be Zhang Daoling's physical skill, and the background is really too big.

Taoism existed a long time ago, such as Huang Lao thought, etc., which are all involved.

As for Taoism, it appeared relatively late and was founded by Zhang Daoling.

There is no doubt that even if Zhang Daoling is placed in the pre-Qin period, in that era when the old arts were the most brilliant, he was definitely the top alchemist.

Wang Xuan checked the time, the sun was almost setting, and it was time to go out.

The surrounding area of ​​Cangding Building is very prosperous, and there is a mature large-scale business district with a lot of traffic.

After Wang Xuan arrived, he took the elevator straight to the top floor.

There are three restaurants on the top floor. Although the consumption is outrageous, the business is very good.

He reckoned that Qin Cheng should have made a reservation in advance, and if there were no accidents, it should be the "Golden Years" one.

Qin Cheng also came here to treat guests before, and in his words, this restaurant has the best taste.

Wang Xuan walked forward, suddenly startled, this place was... booked out?

The golden years are full of quilts!

He can only say that he is rich. Normally, the consumption of one table needs two to three months of ordinary people's wages, but now someone has booked the entire venue.

He looked inside and found that some boxes were empty, probably because he had met Shenhao, who wanted to keep things clean, so they packed them all up.

"Wang Xuan?!" Suddenly, someone called him, and the tone seemed not very good.

The area in the Golden Years is very large, and several women from the other direction spotted him and walked over.

He knew two of them. One was Zhou Mingxuan's daughter, Zhou Ting, who was also the cousin of his ex-girlfriend. She was in good condition today, without sleepwalking. Wearing a long skirt with a waist, she looked slim and quite glamorous.

The other is Wang Xuan's college classmate. She was born in the old soil, and this time she was selected to go to Xinxing. She did not expect to meet her here.

"Which Wang Xuan, could it be Ling Wei's..." A woman in a white evening dress next to her said, with a bad look on her face.

"That's him." Zhou Ting nodded.

The dresses of these women are more formal, mainly evening dresses, with good figure and appearance, either youthful and beautiful, or glamorous and elegant.

The woman in a white evening dress and high-heeled shoes with crystal edges looked at Wang Xuan's face again and again, with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "Can you be a man? Since we have been separated for more than a year, why bother?" Come here to cause trouble?!"

Wang Xuan frowned, as if he understood something, but he didn't know the situation here before, so he couldn't be blamed anyway.

The woman in the white evening dress raised her snow-white chin, glanced at him indifferently, and said contemptuously, "You are not welcome here, and this is not the place where you should come. Please disappear immediately!"

Wang Xuan didn't have the habit of enduring such people, so he said calmly after hearing the words: "Where I am is none of your business, besides, are you that green onion?"
