The Elysium Across Deep Space Chapter 22: ?A brush with death
Wang Xuan put down the yellow-colored physique secret book and picked up a golden bamboo slip from the pre-Qin period.
It is only eight centimeters long, very heavy, not like bamboo, but as warm as jade. It was given by Aoki when he joined the expedition organization.
According to Zhao Qinghan, four golden bamboo slips have been dug up in the old soil for decades and hundreds of years, two of which have been scrambled by various parties and have been scattered.
Wang Xuan estimated that a complete golden bamboo slip should have dozens of pieces. It would be too difficult to collect all of them.
He looked at the engraved picture above. The creatures with human heads and snake bodies were lifelike, but it was difficult to understand the meaning. At present, there were too few samples to understand.
He put the bamboo slips aside. On the road of old art, he needs to accumulate slowly, and there is no need to stare at the pre-Qin strange objects at the beginning.
In the early morning, Wang Xuan went to practice the root method of the alchemist, and he was due to go to work in two days. He cherished the quiet life at the moment.
When he came back covered in sweat and saw the golden secret book on the desk again, he couldn't help but walk over.
After careful observation and identification, he is convinced that the yellowed scriptures are antiquities, not old ones, but the records in the books are too deceptive.
In the end, he couldn't hold back. After washing up, he changed a special calling card and contacted Aoki of the expedition organization with a secret line to ask him for advice.
After hearing his general description, Aoki burst into laughter and said, "The ancients had a problem, they liked to exaggerate, what happened for hundreds of years and thousands of years, all of which is water, but to show the extraordinaryness of this body art. Just listen to it. Wait a minute, I remember it, the physical technique of the golden body seems to be very famous, it first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, and I don't remember the specific details clearly."
After hearing this, Wang Xuan was a little impressed. Aoki even knew some of the origin of this scripture. It is not unusual for people who are successful in practicing old techniques.
"You can practice this physique, but remember not to be superstitious about it, not to mention the latter, it will take hundreds of years just to practice the first seven or eight layers, who are you going to lie to? Imagine if it is as described in the scriptures. , where is the original author, he was from the Northern Song Dynasty, if he had reached the thirteenth floor, wouldn't he still be alive now? But it seems that someone in later generations has discovered his tomb."
…
After Wang Xuan put down the phone, she was in a complicated mood.
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 made him understand how unreliable the ancients were.
"I remember you, the original author of the Golden Body Art, and I also remember you Zhou Mingxuan!"
Not long after, Wang Xuan went out. The classmates who went to Xinxing were going to cross the galaxy tomorrow, and Professor Lin went back in the same interstellar spaceship with them.
When they parted, he naturally went to see Professor Xia Lin again and saw him off ahead of time. He would not be able to approach the spaceship tomorrow.
Professor Lin has gray hair and a slightly fat body, but his complexion is not bad, his face is red, and his laughter is full of energy.
"Don't complain, the ancients were like this sometimes and liked to exaggerate, but the physical technique of the golden body is really not easy. It is rumored that after practicing it, it is invulnerable. The founder is named Zhou Yunkong, a legendary figure, with the best skin and flesh. His armor was many times stronger. He lived to be more than 150 years old, and finally died in Shushan. In the Ming Dynasty, tomb robbers visited his tomb, so that the secret golden body technique he left behind can be seen again, this person is still very It's amazing, it's recorded in the unofficial history."
Wang Xuan is speechless, how could a person who lived in his 150s and 150s have developed a physical technique that takes thousands of years and tens of thousands of years?
He sighed for a while. There were also many big flickers among the ancients.
However, Zhou Yunkong was actually patronized by tomb robbers, and his tomb was robbed, which is indeed a bit miserable.
Wang Xuan admires Professor Lin very much. He is truly knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He has dug out the roots of the original author of the Golden Body Art, and knows more than Aoki.
"Don't underestimate the physical technique of the golden body. It can make Zhou Yunkong live more than 150 years old, and it speaks for itself. In addition, it is said that when the tomb robbers dug him out, his body was still in the air. It was not completely decomposed, but it was stronger than iron and stone, and an iron sword could not cut it. You must know that he had died for two or three hundred years by then."
Wang Xuan's heart was turbulent, and he was looking forward to it!
In this era, a hot weapon can eliminate the masters in the field of old art. If you can practice the golden body art, your life will be hardened directly.
"Zhou Yunkong and Zhou Mingxuan are both surnamed Zhou. Could the former be the ancestor of the Zhou family?"
But soon Wang Xuan shook his head again. It wasn't such a coincidence, and if it was an ancestral thing, Zhou Mingxuan would not be able to give it away.
"This secret book has a history of more than two hundred years on paper. It is estimated that it should have been re-recorded by later generations. After I studied it, I felt that it should be the true scripture."
Since he was unable to do actual combat, Professor Lin switched to theoretical research and researched various old techniques and ancient methods. His vision is vicious and his judgment is accurate.
Wang Xuan sighed, "This secret book has touched me a lot today. Since it is so exaggerated, are other old-fashioned scriptures the same?"
This is the fundamental reason why he asked Professor Lin for advice. The cheat book sent by Zhou Mingxuan disturbed Wang Xuan's mood.
Are the legends about the old art still credible? For example, the pre-Qin alchemists, etc., shouldn't the methods and paths they left behind have also been exaggerated infinitely?
Professor Lin shook his head and said, "It's not as serious as you think. The exaggeration of gold body art is just an example. Only a very few scriptures are like this, mainly related to the historical environment at that time. For example, in that era, even the This is the case in official mansion battle reports. In one battle, only a few hundred people were beheaded and captured, but in the end, it was written as tens of thousands of enemies and corpses scattered everywhere. This is the case for the official, one can imagine what happened to the unofficial history of the people.”
Wang Xuan was speechless, how did he feel that he had to know a lot to practice the old art? In addition to going through Dao Zang, do you have to read more history?
Professor Lin added: "On the strength of the pre-Qin alchemists, the final conclusion was reached only after the tests of some life research institutes in Xinxing."
The corpses of a few alchemists in the pre-Qin period have been dug up in the old soil by chaebols and research institutions. They have been tested and analyzed, and the conclusions are credible.
"So, don't doubt the brilliance of the old art back then. If you want to go on this road, confidence is very important."
Wang Xuan suddenly became serious and said, "I've been photographed, and I've fallen behind. I originally joined the old art experimental class because I was interested, but later I wanted to keep exploring."
In the field of old art, he has never been superstitious. At first, he wanted to follow the footsteps of his predecessors, and finally he wanted to verify this road with himself.
Professor Lin had some feelings and said: "Nowadays science and technology are brilliant, and for those who practice the old art, they can always feel the immense pressure."
Wang Xuan nodded, but the faith in his heart was firmer. If he reached the end of the road and the old technique had no way to go, then he hoped that he could make a difference!
…
In the evening, Wang Xuan studied physical art at his residence, learned about the root method, and finally went downstairs to the outside of the community's woodland, where he began to collect Qi and nourish himself in the face of the moonlight.
He emptied himself, his heart was incomparably clear, and the soft and white moonlight filled his heart. At this time, he was transparent inside and out, and his perception was super strong.
Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt that his forehead seemed to tighten and swell, as if he was about to be pierced by some sharp weapon.
Whoops!
With a soft sound, he felt the heat in his temples, a terrifying airflow brushed past his ears, and some strands of hair fell off, giving off a burning smell.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Wang Xuan, like an agile cheetah, sank into the dense woods in the community.
This is an old community. After decades of growth, the trees planted in the past have long been towering trees, especially lush, which instantly obscured Wang Xuan's figure.
The current Wang Xuan, his eyes are as sharp as two sharp swords, staring coldly in a certain direction in the forest, at the same time his heart is beating violently.
Just now, he was shot!
Death is only a finger away from him. If he hadn't moved his body sideways in advance, his head would have been pierced, and he would surely die!
At that moment, he felt the terrifying fluctuation of air flow caused by the bullet flying, and there was a strong wind in his ears, rubbing his temples, and many strands of hair were broken.
Who is it? Dare to shoot in a residential area like this is simply unscrupulous, 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 inexplicably. The law and order has always been very good.
But now, Wang Xuan is personally experiencing a life-and-death crisis. When he encounters such an extremely serious and vicious incident, someone wants to kill him without any scruples.
The opponent's gun was equipped with a silencer, which did not alert others. Wang Xuan searched for the enemy in the silence.
He didn't rush out. He didn't know how many people came secretly, and how many guns there were. He suddenly took off his shirt and threw it out of the forest with shaking hands.
Bang! boom! boom!
In an instant, he heard three slight noises, and three bullet holes appeared in the falling jacket. The sniper's strength was amazing, the response speed was super fast, and the marksmanship was scary.
Wang Xuan's face was very cold. There were at least three powerful gunmen outside the fence of the community, waiting for the opportunity to shoot him.
Even, he has already determined the location of the three gunmen.
But instead of going out, he went deep into the woods and hid behind the trees.
Because he secretly doesn't know if there are still people who haven't started, he doesn't want to be a target for others on this moonlit night.
At this moment, the first thing that came to his mind turned out to be—Golden Body Art.
If he practiced this kind of physical technique, he would definitely not care if there were other people in the dark, he would directly counterattack 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 calling card, contacted Aoki, and explained the situation briefly and quickly.
"You did the right thing, you don't have a hot weapon in your hand, you should hide in a bunker, and a professional will handle it later. I'll also go over and give you some equipment."
After Aoki put down the phone, his face was extremely cold. Even he felt that those people were unscrupulous. This is a big city in the old land, and such a vicious shooting incident happened.
If you are exploring in the wild, some big organizations and chaebols may meet, and they may fight for treasure, but there is one thing they must abide by. They must not open fire in the city, and cannot involve ordinary citizens.
Otherwise, the whole society will be in chaos.
This is a tacit understanding, and it is a well-established rule~IndoMTL.com~ All organizations and institutions are abiding by it, and few people dare to make trouble.
Otherwise, the state will educate those organizations and institutions how to behave. Although the old land has fallen, some bottom lines have always been there.
Wang Xuan climbed a big tree and thought quietly, who was going to kill him?
This happened to him as soon as he left campus.
He thought of some recent people and events, and went through those people and forces related to him, and his eyes flickered with cold light.
First of all, he joined the expedition organization and went to Qingcheng Mountain yesterday for an operation. I don't know if he left any clues to attract the killing intent of some people.
The forces involved are the Zhou family, the Ling family, and the Wu family, and the individuals involved are Jinchuan from the expedition organization.
Wang Xuan also included Wu Yin, whom she met for the first time last night, among her personal list.
In addition to these people and forces, he traced time back to the far past, and Zhou Yun had entangled with him.
And Zhou Yun's father, Zhou Mingxuan, is a very powerful person.
In addition, further, Wang Xuan thought that someone wanted to put him in the old soil and prevent him from going to the new star. Although it was not related this time, he still went through it.
Wang Xuan is full of murderous aura. He is guessing and deducing, which of these people and forces dares to risk the world to shoot and kill in a residential area in the city?
Who is it, so ruthless and unscrupulous, to get rid of him? !
If he dies, will someone wipe out the traces silently, without disturbing the outside world, without causing any waves? The people and forces who took the shot seem to be very confident!
