But the gentleman opposite Xie Zhifei ate all the noodles one by one very seriously. The act of chewing carefully was not enjoyable or uncomfortable, but more like performing some kind of task.

"Food, if you can fill your stomach, you are qualified, and then there is hope." The gentleman drank the last bit of gray-white noodle soup in the bowl. Then he said to Xie Zhifei, "There were a lot of times when I couldn't eat in the early years. Although the sage also talked about 'not tired of eating fines and not tired of finess'. But it is also against the truth to pursue too much."

Xie Zhifei nodded knowingly, and then began to clean up the tableware. When everything was cleared up, the gentleman sat down in that chair again.

"Learn Haoran Qi?" This time, the gentleman in front of him spoke first without waiting for him to ask.

"Yes." Xie Zhifei nodded.

"Why choose Haoran Qi?"

"Because it is the fastest practice among the several kinds of Kung Fu?" Xie Zhifei thought about it and explained the real reason. He didn't deliberately try to please everyone who had obviously cultivated Haoran Qi to a certain level. When the instructor introduced him to various exercises one by one, the biggest reason why he chose Haoran Qi was indeed because it was fast enough to cultivate in the early stage.

The gentleman nodded, noncommittal to Xie Zhifei's answer, and then asked, "How did you practice?"

This time, Xie Zhifei thought about it for a while, and then he remembered what kung fu he had learned from his husband. "Practice form."

In Huangquan, except for the awakened ones like Ji Qinger, everyone has to learn the corresponding exercises and martial arts tricks, even the supernatural beings are no exception. Although their battles still mainly rely on their own abilities, their physical The training can make the power more possible.

Xie Zhifei didn't understand boxing, and the reason for choosing the form and meaning was the same as the reason for choosing Haoran Qi. It was powerful and fast. Compared to Baji, who is number one in the world after training for decades, it may not be as good in appearance and meaning, but he wins faster! Unlike Tai Chi, which needs to be practiced thousands of times to understand the true meaning, it is not like Ba Chi and Hanging that require a lot of time to smash the muscles and bones. Tai Chi did not go out for ten years, and Xingyi killed everyone for three years, not just talking about it.

The gentleman nodded and said nothing else. He gently shook the purple bamboo rattan chair under him and narrowed his eyes. Xie Zhifei probably guessed that the boss asked his husband to guide him, maybe Liuhuan said something to him after that time, so he stuffed himself with his husband. There are no signs or other reminders.

But Xie Zhifei believed that the BOSS would not harm him, and Mr.'s previous shot could indeed convince him. His aura had been stuck on the third floor for a long time. He hasn't improved since he came out of training camp. It stands to reason that this should not be the case. After all, the most difficult part of Haoran Qi lies in the entry and the last three floors. There is no threshold between entry and the first five floors. This is the original words of the instructor who taught him. But the fact is that Xie Zhifei was stuck on the third floor. He doesn't understand what's wrong with him, maybe that's why the boss handed him over to Mr.

"Go and rest, and accompany me to visit Chongjiu tomorrow morning." The gentleman squinted and lay on the chair for a while, then said to Xie Zhifei. The knuckles began to tap lightly on the armrest of the chair again.

Xie Zhifei responded with a sound, stepped back, and listened to the crisp and distant "da-da" sound from the bamboo joints, accompanied by the old man's humming again.

"When the five people died, go to the present tomb and bury them. The period lasts until the eleventh month. During the eleventh month, all the sons of the rich and noble, and the people who are generous and successful, died of disease, and died and disappeared into the insignificant. , there are already a lot of people; what about the unheard of the grass and the wild? The only five people, what is it?"

Xie Zhifei paused, this time he knew that the old man was reciting "Five People's Tombstones", he didn't know what touched the old man's thoughts, but he could hear the deep desolation in his voice, this song The originally impassioned mourning wandered in the night sky as if it had been dried by ancient time.

Maybe today is the death anniversary of an old friend. Xie Zhifei didn't know that his guess matched the facts, but instinctively he didn't want to disturb the old man. Although it looks miserable, it is definitely more annoying to squeeze in without thinking.

Lying on the bed, Xie Zhifei suddenly remembered that he had never asked the old man's name, but just called Mr. Then, after thinking about it, he realized that he couldn't even remember the old man's appearance. He could only remember that he was walking on an iron chain like a dragon, that his eagle claws to Yi Nian carried wind and thunder, and that he hummed. The shape and shadow of the song hang together.

There is a kind of people whose temperament will overwhelm their appearance. It is not that they are too ugly, but compared to their appearance, their gorgeous temperament like an era will rob people of all attention. , so that nothing else can be seen at all. Xie Zhifei still couldn't understand this, but he saw a microcosm of such an era at a glance, and instinctively felt awe.

Chapter 28 Double Nine

When Xie Zhifei opened his eyes, he found that his husband was awake, standing in the small courtyard, slowly practicing Tai Chi. He is meticulous in moving, blocking, beating, and holding the tail of a bird, and his movements are soothing like an old man exercising in a park. It was only when the turn of the punches paused that the soap-colored gown was as stretched as iron, as if it was sloppy.

The old man also saw Xie Zhifei who was up, and slowly closed his fists. "Since it is Xingyi practice, you should know about Xingyiquan training in summer and three fu in winter. Play a set of punches with me." The master said, setting up the formation, and it was Xingyiquan's starting hand.

Xingyi Boxing is not a profound martial art, and Five Element Boxing is the basic among them. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Splitting, Drilling, Horizontal Cannon Collapse, Xie Zhifei has fought not a thousand times or a hundred times in a year. Although he didn't understand what Mr. meant, he still put on a stance and followed.

Start in Wuji Pose, press both palms up, inhale with your nose, then turn your palms down, move down slowly, and let your Qi fall with your palms, turn to Tai Chi Pose, and turn your palms toward your navel to make a fist. The most common beginning of taking the two instruments and walking the four elephants is that there is not much force, and there is no cracking sound of the wind. It just makes people feel that this fight is not the shape and meaning of Waijiaquan, but the Taiji of the inner family or the Twelve Duanjin of Taoism.

The boxing routines are simple, and there are no special skills or tricks in Mr.'s boxing routines, it can only be considered smooth. But just when Xie Zhifei was thinking about this, his hands shifted, and he suddenly felt that his entire body was immersed in gel, and the air became thick and heavy, like glue like lacquer, and it was extremely difficult to move even a tiny bit. It made him unable to play the next split punch at all. Boiled for a few seconds, Xie Zhifei, who was blushing in the end, let out a sigh of relief. Only then did the air around him return to normal.

The gentleman also stopped the movement in his hand and glanced at him, "Come again." The voice was neither sad nor happy. Start repeating the simplest stepless start. Xie Zhifei took a deep breath and started walking.

The gentleman stopped four times, and on the fifth time Xie Zhifei followed him to complete this set of the simplest five-element boxing. And when the last horizontal fist was swung, he had completely fallen to the ground, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Every muscle in every joint moaned.

Only he knew how much effort it took to punch the punches just now. Mr.'s punches are the easiest and smoothest, and the punches he followed are also the easiest. But it is a very difficult thing to do something as simple as possible. Once his movements have a slight deviation, it is not the easiest way, and the air around him who wants to walk on the easiest way will drag his hands and feet like a swamp.

The second time he was defeated even before he could finish the second form of the starter. It wasn't until the fourth time that he realized that the easiest thing is not the most serious, not the most forceful, but that every effort is just right, no more and no less. This time he insisted on drilling punches.

It took a full 30-minute break to start the fifth, and then one succeeded. After a set of punches, all his muscles were moaning. No more or less is allowed, and it requires a very high degree of muscle control. It is definitely more tiring to run 500 meters without letting people keep the speed stable at all than sprinting for 1000 meters. The latter is pure physical strength, while the former is technology.

Looking at Mr. Xie Zhifei who was lying on the ground, he nodded, "Clean up, let's go to Chongjiu." Xie Zhifei couldn't see the face of the gentleman with his back to the light, but he always felt that he had a smile on his face.

Chongjiu is a store, to be precise, a pawnshop. It does not accept cash or credit cards, nor can it pay online. It only supports barter. As long as both parties agree, you can exchange a piece of useless stone here for a treasure that can prolong life for several years. There must be no such store in the world, but Chonggu still exists because it is not a store in this world. Those who can come to Chongjiu to change things are all people who know the real world.

This is Xie Zhifei's second visit to Chongjiu. The first time was Yi Nian who brought him to recognize his position. He didn't have anything to exchange, and Yi Nian didn't know why he was already on Chong Jiu's blacklist. Strictly speaking, this is Xie Zhifei's first visit to this prestigious store.

The single-family building is like the Tang and Song Dynasties. The two big red lanterns on the beams are still very conspicuous even in the daytime. After opening the door, the shop is very elegant. The faint scent of sandalwood emanates from the cabinets, blending with the incense and the scent of flowers and plants in the air.

But looking at the things that were placed on the cabinet in small boxes, Xie Zhifei was taken aback. The thing at the top that emits a faint red light turned out to be Zhu Guo. In this legend, the sacred fruit guarded by the divine bird can help people cleanse the essence. Although Xie Zhifei knows that this thing is not as invincible as the legend, the effect of the breath of flame contained in it is absolutely first-class, and although it is extremely Small, but there is still the possibility of giving birth to the ability to control fire.

Xie Zhifei looked down and saw the small crystal card under the box. There were only two lines of words, "Zhu Guo" and "Change Pure Water Lotus". Xie Zhifei had never heard of what the pure water lotus was, but since it was exchanged with a vermilion fruit, it would not be a simple thing. Xie Zhifei clicked his tongue, and understood the meaning of the word Chongjiu deeper.

Reluctantly pulling his eyes back from Zhu Guo, Xie Zhifei noticed that there was no one in the store. Then step forward, "Is anyone there?"

"Ahhh-" A small voice came from the corner. "There are some!" Xie Zhifei saw two yellowish pointed ears in a pile of waste-like cabinets in the corner. After making a sound, a little girl got out of the pile with difficulty. The white butterfly wears a floral gown, the horns are braided, and the big watery eyes flicker, jumping to the front of the two. Xie Zhifei's eyes had been glued to the ears on top of her head. Pale yellow ears with fine fluff.

This is a fox spirit, and it is not an exaggeration or modification. The little girl in front of her is classified as a fox spirit. To be precise, all Chongjiu employees and bosses are fox spirits, or the Tianhu family. Although he knew it earlier, but when he really saw a little loli with two animal ears and a big fluffy tail, Xie Zhifei was still stunned for a moment.

"Do you want to change anything?" Little Lolita stared at the two of them with big eyes, "Lily knows all the commodities in Chongjiu." As soon as the painting was finished, the little fox named Lily let out a painful cry. A long emerald rod brass pipe smashed on top of her head, and a charming voice came from behind her.

"Go and pack up the things you asked you to pack, and I'll take care of the guests."

Little Loli was shocked, put down the hand covering her head, and quickly ran to the pair of groceries she had drilled out earlier. "Got it, Grandma Liyan."

"It's Sister Liyan!" The pipe hit the little fox on the head again. Seeing the little fox running away, Li Yan turned around. "Sir, is this time for business?"

"Look for something, and see the ancestors."

Chapter 29 Old Ancestors

Xie Zhifei had heard the name Liyan, the owner of Chongjiu. Tianhu is a strong competitor for the priestess, but it is indeed the first time that the real person has met. Zhu Yuanyurun's body was wrapped in a slim cheongsam, only half of her calf and arm were exposed. But the exposed skin makes people unable to move their eyes at all. Her skin is as thick as fat, her hands are as soft as a weed, and her chest is hollowed out with lace, and you can vaguely see a touch of white with overlapping peaks, which can make people pour all their imaginations into it.

Everyone can wear a cheongsam, but it is difficult to spread the smell of a cheongsam, just like wearing a red dress or windbreaker. A close-fitting cheongsam needs to have an excellent temperament for the person who wears it. It is cool and dignified like a lady in an ancient painting. But the carp smoke did not care about this point at all, the narrow and thin eyes were misty and rainy, and the **** red lips were lightly pursed, like the best rouge, red as blood. Coupled with that green cigarette rod, it is like a dream in the deepest part of my heart.

When the dust smells to the extreme, it is a kind of beauty that does not lose anything.

"The ancestors have not seen foreign guests for a long time." Li Yan said for the second time, but the charm was lost, and it was as cold as a mountain spring. Let Xie Zhifei wake up instantly. His eyes suddenly became clear. "But since Mr. came in person, I'll also report. As for what Mr. is looking for..."

She took down the cigarette stick and pointed to Lily, who was rummaging through the sundries. Gotta get something in exchange."

Mr. nodded. Li Yan also smiled, "Then please wait a moment, sir." Shi Shiran turned around and walked towards the depths of the store.

"Do you need me to call her over?" Xie Zhifei asked, of course she was referring to the hard-working little fox. Then, seeing the gentleman shaking his head, Xie Zhifei had some doubts in his heart, but it was hard to say. He can only sit down with him on the table of the Little Eight Immortals, and slowly look at the rare treasures on the surrounding cabinets. Most of them have never been heard of. Occasionally, if there are two things he knows about, let him stunned.

"Ancestor, please come in, sir." Li Yan came out of Zhancha Kungfu, and greeted the gentleman with a thousand blessings. Then he looked at Xie Zhifei who was beside him, "This one?"

"He's with me." Mr. said lightly. Li Yan looked at Xie Zhifei, then nodded.

"Sir said yes."

In the process of following Liyan inside, Xie Zhifei realized that the depth of the store was far beyond his imagination. The shelves filled with things retreated row after row, but still did not reach the wall. After more than a minute, I finally reached an ancient sliding door. Li Yan opened the door on his own without pausing.

Then a valley appeared in front of Xie Zhifei. In a small alley in the 4th Ring Road of Longcheng, which is definitely considered a first-tier city in the country, there is a valley directly behind the door of a small shop! Such an unreal scene appeared in front of Xie Zhifei.

The valley is not big, you can see its internal structure at a glance, the long and narrow hillsides and green grass, butterflies and colorful sky, and the small pavilion in the valley separated by red silk yarn. Li Yan made a gesture of invitation again and led the two to the small pavilion.
