Chapter 296: See you again

Fang Xie opened the book handed to him by the old man and looked at it, this time what he saw after this time was not a delicate nude-woman, but on the first page was still a picture, depicting a man with a perfectly proportioned body, of course, also naked. All the acupuncture points, qi veins, and qi sea dantian on this man's body have been marked, and there are many small notes next to them.

Such a diagram can be seen in any book on the introduction to spiritual practice.

It can be said that the location of each air pocket on this map, and the direction of each air vein, are deeply remembered in Fang Jie's mind. Even if he were to draw it now, he would never fail in the slightest. He longed for himself to be able to practice, and the effort he put in was unimaginable.

Although he had memorized such a map by heart, Fang Xie still read it seriously. found that this picture was no different from the ones he had seen before, and Fang Xie still felt that since the old man had given him this book, it must have a deep meaning, and when he read it again, there was still no new discovery.

Turning the second page, it is still a picture.

It's still the man with the perfect body proportions, and it's still so detailed.

Fang Xie looked at it for a while, then went back again. I looked at it back and forth as if I was playing to find a difference, and finally found that there were some subtle differences. But there are only two very thin qi veins that are going to be a little off. He turned the third page, and it was still like this. Fang Xie looked at the previous two pages again, and it took half an hour to find out the subtle differences between the three pictures.

Page IV

Fang Jie's eyes lit up immediately when he saw this picture.

In the picture on the fourth page, there is obviously a lot of change in the man's body. On this picture, the sea of qi in the man's body is hidden by the drawing method of shadows, and it cannot be seen. There are a lot more qi veins than the figures in the previous pictures, but they seem to be very thin and dense.

Fang Xie hurriedly turned the fifth page and found that the man in this picture could see a clear sea of qi again, and it was very large, much larger than the person on the previous pages. But the man in this picture only has a few qi veins in his body, but it is very thick.

"People look the same, with internal organs, hands, feet, and limbs."

The old man said while knocking the peanuts in his mouth, "But as far as cultivation is concerned, everyone is different. This difference is not only the difference in the size of the sea of qi, but also the difference in the number of air pockets opened, and the difference in the thickness of the qi veins. If you want to understand how many secrets are hidden in the human body, it is not an easy task. ”

"These figures, representing different physiques?"

"Hmm"

The old man nodded: "These pictures are all very good physiques. The picture at the beginning can be seen in the introductory cultivation chapters of each sect. But people think that this is just a simple illustration, but in fact, this picture is a genius with 128 air pockets fully opened. This is theoretically the most perfect cultivation physique, and if any sect gets such a disciple, it often means that the sect will be carried forward in this person. ”

Fang Xie was silent for a while and then asked, "These pictures, but they are hand-drawn by the seniors?" ”

"I draw and play when I have nothing to do."

The old man smiled, pointed to the books in the room, and said, "There is nothing else here, but there are books." And I have more time than others, so I watch more. The first three pictures can be seen in many classics, and they all depict a genius physique with 128 air pockets fully open. However, there are subtle differences. The latter pictures will not appear in any of the sect classics...... Because theoretically, the people represented by these figures are not able to practice. ”

"No one is so bored to carefully draw all the illustrations that can't cultivate the physique, except for me."

"Take it back and take a good look at it, the more carefully the better."

The old man smiled: "The last few pages are some of my experiences in reading over the years, which may not be of any help to you, but it will not do any harm." There are also a few pictures of the action of meridian activation, which can promote blood circulation, in short, there are still some benefits. ”

Fang Xie solemnly put the thin book into his arms, then stood up and saluted: "Thank you seniors for your teaching." ”

"It's just that I'm idle and bored to have some fun for myself."

The old man waved his hand indifferently: "I've been cleaning and tidying up this library for some years, and you're the most interesting little guy I've met over the years." Now that many of the memories of the past have been blurred, there are a few more interesting things to do before dying...... I'm not used to meddling in anyone's fate, I just think that you and I have some fate, so I should give you a welcome gift. ”

Fang explained: "I don't know how to repay you......

"After a while......"

The old man thought for a while and said, "I may go out again, this time it will take a long time, so I need a young and clever person to take care of me." The people in the yard don't look very good, you're not bad...... After this outing, a person of my age will definitely not move around easily. If you really want to repay it, take care of my old man for a while. ”

"But ......"

Fang explained: "In a few days, I will go to Yongzhou in the southwest, and I will come back in about half a year." ”

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

The old man smiled and said, "Anyway, I still have some time. ”

"Where are you going?"

Fang Xie couldn't help but ask.

"Let's see, if I can still cope with the past, I'll come back and continue to mess around when I'm done. If I can't cope with it, I'm going to walk around where I've been and meet up with old friends I haven't been in touch with for years. ”

"Good"

Fang Xie nodded: "I will tell Your Majesty to rush back from the southwest as soon as possible to accompany you on this journey." ”

"Not in a hurry"

The old man shook his head slightly: "If I sit still and don't do anything, the old turtle sleeps and shrinks in this library, I can still live for a while." ”

……

……

When Fang Xie left from the Yanwu Academy, he had been speculating about the identity of the old man in his heart, and before he walked into the library today, he never thought that the old man would be a master of Taoism. But although the old man today did not say it very clearly, he did not deny his special status.

Fang Xie was curious, who was he?

Then Fang Xie naturally thought of the perverted old monk who came out to save the respect for the Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's famous book Tianlong Babu that he had read in his previous life. If this old man is really that powerful, Fang Xie will have to sigh about his luck and scum.

It's just a pack of peanuts every day, but in exchange for the guidance of a master.

The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, so Fang Jie's mood is also beautiful. He calculated the time, and it was just the time for lunch when he walked to the Sanjin Houfu, so he gave up his plan to ride in the carriage through the city. He was a man who loved to walk, and he liked to walk on the streets and observe all kinds of people, and then tell himself to adapt to this world like those people. For more than ten years, although the memories of the past life are still there, they have indeed become a little blurred.

More and more people and things in my mind are in this world, and in addition to the relatives in the previous life, many things have been blurred in my memory, and I can't think about the cause and effect if I think about it carefully.

Sometimes Fang Xie is also worried, will one day his memory of his past life be suddenly erased by something, and he can no longer remember the slightest, is that a terrible thing?

A bicycle in a past life, a remote-controlled plane in a past life, an anime in a past life, a woman with a crush in a past life...... These have gradually drifted away from him, and Fang Xie once fantasized that one day he would suddenly return to that world and become an ordinary person, walking through the high-rise city every day in order to live.

Then he found that if he really went back, he would also miss this world very much.

Walking down the street, his mind was messy.

A gong pulled him out of his memory, and then he heard someone shouting loudly: "The criminal department enforces the law, and idlers avoid". Following the sound and looking ahead, I saw a mighty team of people in the distance. At the front were the officers of the Ministry of Punishment in red uniforms, followed by one prisoner after another, each followed by a large group of prisoners, men and women, old and young, whose hands were tied with ropes.

"Look, those are the first thieves to be beheaded!"

A hawker not far from Fang Xie shouted excitedly, his eyes shining.

"Kill the traitor!"

I don't know who shouted first, and the people on both sides of the street smashed what they could find. Eggs, vegetables, raw meat...... The peddlers didn't seem to care about their losses, and in a fit of rage, they smashed their belongings at the prisoners.

For a while, the scene was chaotic.

However, none of the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department stopped the behavior of the people, and allowed the people to vent their dissatisfaction and anger.

"Traitor!"

A gray-haired old man threw his cane out of the corner of a woman's eyebrow. Immediately, a wisp of blood ran down her cheek. It was a symbolic-looking woman, her face was very pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and the blood contrasted sharply with her pale face.

She turned her head to look at the old man, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

She was like a person who had no soul left, only a shell remained. She was dressed in white clothes with the word "prisoner" on it, and she was shackled on her feet. So it's very difficult to walk, and every step is just rubbing forward.

This woman is well understood.

Her name is Zhuang Die.

The women beside her, Fang Jie, also looked familiar, and knew that they were all girls from the Crescent Building, including the old bustard...... These women are all tools for Prince Yi to win over the courtiers.

The people who are going to be executed today are the marginalized people in the case of Prince Yi of the city's rebellion. They are meaningless to the case, but the death penalty is inevitable. Including the subordinates in Prince Yi's mansion, the snake guard who was caught, and the Jianghu guest. There were also other courtiers' household servants, maids-in-waiting, and their clansmen.

Looking at the endless procession, there were at least two or three thousand people.

But this is only the first group of people to be beheaded.

Because Prince Yi's case has been explained by His Majesty, after the interrogation is clear, those who should be killed will be killed immediately. So there is no rule to wait for the fall at all, and these marginalized people will be the first to walk on Huangquan Road. And those who are repeat offenders and the immediate relatives of repeat offenders will not be escorted to the vegetable market together until the case is concluded.

Fang Xie looked at Zhuang Die, and suddenly wanted to save her from the prisoners' ranks.

Would like to.

At this time, the girl with empty eyes also saw him. The four eyes are facing each other, and the meaning in their eyes is so complicated. Fang Xie frowned, subconsciously took a few steps forward and raised his hand to stop the marching team.

Zhuang Die suddenly shook his head at him.

She looked at Fang Jie, and her eyes were suddenly full of satisfaction.

"Don't come here"

She just spoke with her mouth shape, without making a sound. Perhaps, at this moment, she didn't want to cause a little trouble for Fang Jie. She is a death row prisoner, and Fang Xie is the hero.

"Thank you"

She said.

"When I'm a dream...... You're a good guy. ”

She laughed, tears finally welling up in her eyes.

"See you again"

Never see each other again.
