Chapter 214 Come from a Thousand Miles, Tell a Story

   "I don't know them, no see." Wang An said with a smile.

   "Then how did they find out about you, and you came from a long distance?"

   "I don't know either. Besides, if you are sick, you have to go to the hospital. There are so many big hospitals in Beijing. If you don't ask a doctor to find me, this idea itself has problems."

   "What you said is reasonable. Aren't the best hospitals and doctors in the capital? It's not easy for people in our small places to go to the capital to see a doctor! I heard that Maoshun's family in the village went to the capital to see a doctor a week in advance, and they had to wait for several days to get a number."

   "You should just rest. I'll make dinner. I bought my grandpa's favorite fish?"

"good."

  In the evening, the family got together happily.

  In the next ten days or so, two more people came to Wang An's hometown. Coincidentally, he was not at home, so the old man answered the two people according to what he had explained in advance.

  Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, Wang An has been practicing on Yuxiao Mountain almost all day long, and his true energy has become more and more pure and concise.

   "It's almost time to continue refining Yiqi Pill." The refining speed of true qi is much faster than he imagined.

   Just as he was about to continue refining the "Yiqi Pill", another person went up the mountain.

   On this day, there was still snowflakes in the sky, and it had been falling non-stop since early morning. It was such a weather, that someone went up the mountain, and when he arrived, he was a stranger, in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, and a strong bookish atmosphere.

  The man was stopped by the monkey before he approached the wooden house. He looked at the monkey in the down jacket and vest.

  "Spiritual wisdom has been opened, hello, I'm here to visit Mr. Wang An, please inform me." This man was also very polite to the monkey, and he didn't despise it just because it was a monkey, as if he regarded it as a person.

  The monkey waved at him, signaling him to leave.

   "Is he not in the house?" The man looked up at the wooden house with closed doors and windows in front of him.

  He first went to Wang An’s hometown to visit, but found that the other party was not there, and then came to this mountain, and it took a lot of effort to find this place. This place is really hard to find, and the road up the mountain is very rough.

  The monkey just waved him away.

   "If he went to the mountains, I can wait here." The visitor said with a smile.

  The monkey's expression changed.

   "Huh?" The man was slightly taken aback when he saw this. The monkey in front of him felt like a wild beast preparing to protect his territory and attack intruders.

  The next moment, the monkey made a sudden move, and raised his hand with a palm, extremely fast.

  The middle-aged man hurriedly dodged, raised his legs and circled around, the monkey followed closely behind him, and slapped him again, he hurriedly raised his hand to hold it, the force coming from him made him almost overwhelmed, and hurriedly used his footsteps and body skills to resolve the force.

   "This is the Great Vajra Palm of Faxing Temple!" the man said in surprise.

  After a few tricks, the shocked expression on the face of the man in front of him became more and more intense.

  Are you kidding me? A monkey actually used Faxing Temple's unique technique, and it's so proficient, so majestic, it's already a bit of an artistic conception.

   Even in that Faxing Temple, I am afraid that there are not many people who can practice this palm technique so exquisitely?

  A monkey is so good, wouldn't the person who taught it be even more powerful?

  The man didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he used Kung Fu to fight the monkey. His palms were like knives and his body was like a swimming dragon. He used the kung fu of Youshen Baguazhang.

  However, the agility of human beings is not as good as that of monkeys. What's more, this monkey often practiced against Wang An in his spare time. After a short time, the figure of one person and one monkey were staggered.

   "Good palm!" Although he lost to the monkey, the man's eyes were full of spirits.

  The monkey stopped and turned to look into the forest. During the snowstorm, a person came down from the mountain, it was Wang An who went to watch the snow on the top of the mountain.

   "Your Excellency must be Mr. Wang An?" When the man saw Wang An coming down, he kept staring at Wang An. "I'm Gu Nanpo, I'm here to pay my respects to Mr."

  Wang An stared at Gu Nanpo for two or three seconds.

   "What do you want me to do in this snowy day?"

   "Someone wants to do harm to Mr., please tell me." Gu Nanpo said.

   "Bad for me, who?"

   "The Zheng family in the capital." Gu Nanpo said four words.

them? Wang An nodded slightly, he had expected it, but a stranger came here to tell him about it, which surprised him.

   "How did you find out here?"

   "I don't have any malicious intentions, I just admire Mr.'s shocking cultivation, and I don't want to see such an astounding and talented person being killed by a villain." Gu Nanpo said.

   "Thank you, wait a minute." Wang An entered the room, took out a bag and handed it to Gu Nanpo. "The sauced beef I made tastes good, take it home and try it."

   "This?" Gu Nanpo immediately raised his hand to take it after being taken aback for a moment, "Thank you, sir."

   "Sir, can you listen to me tell an old story?" Gu Nanpo did not leave in a hurry.

   "Please." Wang An nodded, it's time to get down to business.

   "About eighteen years ago, in a mountain called Qingshan, which was not very famous, there was an old Taoist temple in the mountain. In the Taoist temple, there was an old Taoist. People didn't know his name, but his surname was Cui, and they all called him Old Taoist Cui." In the snowstorm, Gu Nanpo narrated an old story.

  “There is a small village at the foot of Qingshan Mountain, and there is a lake in front of the village. The lake is not big but produces a kind of fish, which tastes very delicious. One day, a group of outsiders came to the village, and they came for the fish in the lake.

  They paid people to go into the lake to catch fish. During this period, they accidentally met a young girl. The girl was young and beautiful.

  The girl couldn't think about it and hanged herself directly. Because of the sudden change, her mother was out of breath and went crazy.

  Their father reported the crime. The group of people went to the city as if nothing happened, they should eat and drink in the city. After being arrested, a scapegoat was found to take the blame, and the real offender is still at large.

   About a month has passed since that incident, when all the people involved in that incident died in a villa.

  This incident caused quite a stir, and the local special task force was set up to investigate, and finally the suspect was identified as that Cui Daochang.

  When he approached the door, he had dismissed the disciples in the Taoist temple, and confessed to what he had done. It turned out that the dead child was his grandson and granddaughter. Then he didn't just catch him without a fight, he beheaded all the people who went to arrest him!

  The local armed forces were dispatched to encircle and suppress, causing heavy casualties. Then the Special Affairs Bureau intervened and dispatched a special operations team. As a result, three teams were lost at once.

  In the end they succeeded in killing Cui Daochang, it is said that he died of exhaustion. However, I agree with another statement, that he begged to die on his own initiative and didn't want to continue killing.

  Later his body was dissected, and after analysis and research, they inferred that Daoist Cui practiced the legendary true energy. "Here, Gu Nanpo paused for a moment and looked at Wang An.

   "The descendants of the Zheng family were the leaders among those who did evil that day, and the Zheng family was behind the campaign to encircle and suppress Cui Daochang.

  That incident should be the worst loss for the Special Affairs Bureau in the past fifty years.

  Since that incident, the Bureau of Special Affairs has set up a special secret department to deal with similar incidents in the future.

  According to the information we got, Mister is already on their list. "

   "Finished?" Wang Andao.

   "It's over." Gu Nanpo nodded.

   "The wind and snow are so heavy, slow down when going down the mountain."

   "Okay, this is my contact information. If you have any orders, sir, you can contact me at any time."

  Gu Nanpo left a business card with only his name and phone number, then went down the mountain with a small bag of beef, and did not stay any longer.

  The mountain wind howled, the snow seemed to be heavier than before, and soon Gu Nanpo's back disappeared into the wind and snow.

   "Xiao Hou, what do you think of the story he just told, is it interesting?"

  Monkey nodded.

   "I also think he spoke well." Wang An said with a smile.

  Running such a long way, spending so much effort to come up the mountain, is to tell such a story and pass such a message to myself. Do you want to put a long line to catch big fish?

   "Leave him alone, and do your own thing with peace of mind."

  Wang An was worried that someone would disturb him when he was refining the elixir, so after thinking about it, he found a rock weighing several thousand catties from the mountain, and carved the words "no guest" on it with an ancient sword.

  Put this stone here when you are in retreat, and you can put the stone down at ordinary times, with the characters facing down.

  It snowed all day and one night, and the next day the wind and snow stopped. Standing on the mountain and looking around, it was covered in silver makeup, which was extremely enchanting.

  Wang An started processing medicinal materials in the cave, preparing to refine "Yiqi Pill".

  Before refining the medicinal materials, Wang An specially told the monkey that he had to retreat to refine the elixir, and no one was allowed to disturb him. Monkey nodded solemnly, expressing his promise to complete the task.

  Refining elixir in winter, some medicinal materials that need to be dried in the sun are slightly restricted, such as Polygonum multiflorum that needs to be "steamed nine times and dried nine times". But it's not a big problem, it just takes a little longer.

  In the past, it took twelve days to refine the elixir, but this time it took 16 days to refine four elixirs at once.

  Wang An swallowed four elixirs at once, and then practiced the "Yi Jin Jing" exercises to circulate the true energy in the body and refine the medicinal power of the elixirs. This time he found that the medicine was not as strong as the previous few times.

   "The effectiveness of the pill is weakening?"

  After several days of closed-door practice, after completely absorbing the medicinal power of these four elixirs, Wang An can confirm that the potency of the elixirs has indeed decreased. The potency of these four elixirs has dropped by nearly half compared to before.

   "Could it be that drug resistance has developed?" Wang Anxin said. "Based on this situation, the effectiveness of the pill may continue to decline in the future."

  Actually, it is not very appropriate to say that the potency of the elixir has decreased, mainly because his cultivation base has improved, and his true qi has become more pure, so he feels that the amount of true qi that the absorption of these elixir can provide is not as good as before.

  It's like eating five pots of elixir and a lot of flat peaches, drinking imperial wine, and then being burned in an alchemy furnace for seventy-seven forty-nine days to refine all the medicinal power and the effects of heaven, material and earth treasures, and practice it into the indestructible King Kong.

  He made a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals were unable to subdue him.

   At this time, if you let him eat a few elixir and a few flat peaches, it will definitely have no effect, so it can only be regarded as a snack to satisfy his hunger.

  If Wang continues to practice, I am afraid that within a year or two, this "Yi Qi Pill" will become a snack for him, and it will not even have the effect of icing on the cake.

   After staying in the mountains for more than 20 days, Wang An returned to his hometown. The two old people were chatting around the stove, and they seemed to be in a good mood. There are more gifts in the house.

   "Another came?"

   "Yes, several people came here, all from the capital, Siying also came here, look, she bought the clothes on me and your grandfather, don't they look good?"

   "Well, it looks good." Wang An nodded after looking at it. The new clothes are indeed good, and they look very high-end.

   "She even came to help clean up, and she didn't think it was dirty. I think that girl is pretty good." The old man said.

   Alas, Wang An responded.

   "It's almost Chinese New Year, don't you have to go and see people?"

   Yes, Wang An responded again.

   "What are you talking about?" The old man glared at her.

   "Go, I really have to go out." Wang An hurriedly said with a smile. After staying at home for two days, Wang An drove to Hu'an, and went to the house where he used to live.

  After arriving in Hu'an, Wang An's first person to visit was Li Xinzhu. The other party was very happy when he heard that he was here, and rushed to Wang An's residence in less than half an hour after receiving the call.

   "You are here. I thought you forgot about this city, and you are planning to visit you in a few days."

  Old friends were very happy to meet each other. Li Xinzhu invited Wang An to Qingyang Mountain. He had already bought Chen Xifeng's Taiji House back then.

  Here, Wang An saw Li Hsin-chu's elaborate practice room. There are sandbags, wooden man piles, plum blossom piles, standing bricks and stones, and water tanks in the courtyard. The arrangement looks somewhat similar to the courtyard where Wang An lived in Hu'an.

   "How's the brick-walking practice going?" Wang An pointed to the bricks standing on the ground.

   "I'll take two steps, let's see." As he spoke, Li Xinzhu came to the standing brick with a light jump, and then walked on the standing brick. The walking was smooth, and the steps were quite light.

   "Not bad." Wang Andao, it can be seen that Li Xinzhu should have worked **** the bricks and mortar, there is no shortcut, it is to keep practicing and summing up.

   Don't underestimate this brick walking, which contains many skills, which can not only practice the strength of the lower limbs, but also practice the skills of exerting force. Wang Anna's near-teleportation kung fu is based on walking bricks.

   "You have to try to integrate the footwork of Xingyiquan into it. Once you are proficient in walking bricks, you can practice walking cylinders according to the method I taught you. Don't worry."

   Li Xinzhu nodded in response, and invited Wang An into the room. What surprised Wang An was that the furnishings in the room were quite simple and elegant, and did not adopt that magnificent decoration style.
