Alienated Martial Arts

For several days.

Wei Tao didn't even step out of the courtyard.

In addition to recuperating the body and studying martial arts every day, I also try to forget.

Forgetting is not the goal, it is just a process.

The ultimate goal is to get rid of the influence of Sun Xiyue's abstract paintings and return to a normal mental state.

Although the disembodied female voice only appeared occasionally, it actually did not have much impact on daily life.

But a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest, and a hundred-foot room was burned by the smoke from the gap.

If you cannot prevent the slightest change in the initial stage, it will probably be useless to wait until the situation becomes serious and then try to control the situation.

Forgetting didn't go well.

The more he wanted to forget, the more stubborn those complicated and twisted lines became.

From time to time it will flash before our eyes, dancing wildly and disturbing our mind.

But as time goes by.

Especially when Wei Tao no longer deliberately tries to forget.

Instead, after immersing yourself in practice and diverting your attention, the effects will be reflected quickly.

Those lines, not only did not appear less.

On the contrary, it flashed in my mind more and more frequently.

And in addition to the network of lines related to the red line fist and the cross-mountain kick, there was actually a new twisted line, which began to appear strangely in his mind from time to time.

Wei Tao thought again and again and finally discovered the root cause of this situation.

It has nothing to do with the abstract painting, but everything to do with him.

There are herrings under the lotus and lotus growing on the base.

These two ultimate moves are inseparable from the step-by-step lotus and the red-line double line.

As he practiced and mastered these two killing moves again and again, the corresponding lines had already taken root in his body.

It turns into qi and blood running veins, and they are intertwined with each other, forming corresponding nodes.

Do you have to dissect yourself and pull out all the corresponding "blood lines" to truly get rid of the influence of that thing?

Wei Tao exhaled a heavy breath.

My mood suddenly became a little bad.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.

To defeat your enemy, you must first understand your enemy.

Even more in-depth understanding than the enemy himself.

Thinking of this, he took out the box and opened the scroll again.

Sit in the room and meditate quietly.

Even forgetting the passage of time.

The sun rises and sets, the clouds roll and relax.

Except for eating and drinking, he did not leave the house for several days and nights.

His face was visibly haggard, and his eyes were no longer as bright as before.

Dang Dang Dang.

A rhythmic knock on the door sounded.

Wei Tao was awakened from his reverie.

He touched the already empty teapot and threw it aside.

Quickly walked out of the room and came to the courtyard door.

"Sir, it's me."

Shang Bian's voice was very low and came from outside the door.

Wei Tao opened the door and immediately startled Shang Bian.

"How many days have you not slept, sir?"

He looked around, ducked in, and closed the courtyard door tightly.

"I don't know either."

Wei Tao yawned, scooped up a ladle of cold water and drank it.

Until then, sleepiness and fatigue suddenly swept over him like a tide, making him not even want to open his eyes.

"Master Shang came here in such a hurry, what happened?"

Wei Tao returned to the house and sat down, slowly closing his eyes.

Shang Bian said, "I have found what I asked my subordinates to look for!"

"oh!?"

"What is it? Is it what I asked you to find by comparing it with that ancient scroll?"

Wei Tao straightened up suddenly, his energy suddenly lifted.

Shang Bian nodded and carefully took out a cloth bag from his arms.

After opening it, there was a rather worn tortoise shell fragment inside, as well as a slightly mutilated halfling statue.

The halfling statue has four arms.

Each face has a different expression of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and it looks a bit strange if you look carefully.

Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath, took the armor piece and statue into his hands, and showed a joyful smile on his face.

"Master Shang, you did a good job."

He rubbed the two things and breathed out a soft breath.

"Thanks also to Zhang Juren from that grocery store."

Shang Bian said with a smile, "He found the tortoise shell piece from the mezzanine of the ceremony, and Zhang Juren also found this statue at a secondhand stall. Thinking that my husband was very interested in them, he bought it directly and gave it to me. "

"The money that should be given to others must be given in full."

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely not let Zhang Juren suffer. Even the business and safety of his small grocery store are protected by the care and protection of the little brats below."

Wei Tao nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "Since he is a candidate, why didn't he wait for the imperial court to select officials?"

"Even if you don't have the money to donate to an official position, just by virtue of your status as a judge, you won't be able to make a living by looking after a shop."

Shang Bian said, "My subordinates had two drinks with him and talked a lot with him. Zhang Zhiqing was born in the Central Plains, so there is no doubt that he is a good candidate.

His father was a Beijing official who had returned to his hometown after serving his official career, and was considered an influential and wealthy family in the local area.

But later, he unintentionally offended a traveling royal relative, which caused the family to fall apart in a short period of time and fall into decline. "

"Zhang Zhiqing himself was quick to spot the opportunity and fled north to Qizhou with his maid Xiaoqing.

Now I can only rely on Xiaoqing's relatives to earn a living. As for becoming an official, I'm afraid I won't even think about it in this life. "

"I see."

Wei Tao was silent for a moment, "Zhang Zhiqing has done a lot of research on ancient scrolls and turtle shell inscriptions. A person like him guarding a grocery store is really overqualified. He should be hired to do more professional things."

"I understand, sir, please rest assured, I will take care of it now."

"The money that should be given must be given in full."

Wei Tao thought slowly and said, "But you can't give too much, lest people's hearts change."

"In addition, we must keep it confidential and not make the search for these small objects known to everyone. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

Shang Bian stood up as he spoke, "Without further delay, I'll go back to find him."

"Go ahead." Wei Tao waved his hand and looked down at the tortoise shell and bust in his hand, quickly immersed in his spirit.

Quietly, the status bar appeared in front of me.

He entered the recharge center by familiar means.

"Whether to recharge."

Without any hesitation, Wei Tao pointed directly at "Yes".

Uh-huh!

His hand suddenly became empty, and the tortoise shell piece disappeared.

There was a crisp sound in my ears, and the available gold coins in the status bar interface became 1 again.

Wei Tao frowned slightly and stared at the bust still in his palm, feeling a little confused for a moment.

Why isn't it swallowed up by the status bar?

Obviously, the happy face of the statue is exactly the same as the smiling face that was absorbed in the status bar last time. There is almost no difference.

But why can a smiling face be turned into a gold coin, but a statue with four cheeks of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy cannot?

if it is like this.

In the future, relying on the turtle-shell scroll to find gold coins will not be as accurate as imagined.

"Having one is better than not having one at all."

"It's better to have a general direction than to be blind."

Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and was about to close the status bar.

But his eyes suddenly focused on a line of small words in the interface that he had ignored.

"I found a half-length residual image. Should I choose to complete it?"

There are two options below: yes and no.

Wei Tao naturally chose to complete it.

The status bar is motionless, nothing changes.

He frowned and thought for a long time.

Only then did he finally realize that if he chose to complete it, he would have to find a way to complete it himself.

It’s not just the status bar that does everything.

It's all a joy in vain.

That line of fine print was always there, and Wei Tao chose no directly this time.

Anyway, this sculpture cannot be converted into gold coins, so it is better to use it to study what the new interface means.

Uh-huh!

The status bar flashed.

Then new content appeared.

"Half-body residual image (not completed), whether to absorb it."

Wei Tao's heart moved and he chose to absorb.

Uh-huh!

The status bar suddenly becomes blurry.

His palm suddenly became empty.

He was slightly startled, and then his attention was attracted by two crisp sounds.

The available gold coins actually increased by two at a time.

From 1 to 3.

In other words, this uncompleted half-length afterimage, the actual pattern that appeared in the Turtle Shell Scroll, can not only be converted into status bar gold coins, but the exchange rate is doubled!

Wei Tao took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Think back to the line of small words that just appeared.

What if he completed the bust?

Will the number of gold coins that can be obtained exceed two, reaching an even more exaggerated amount?

After all, from the perspective of goods, once the goods are damaged, even if they can be sold, they can only be discounted below the waist.

Especially if something of the craft type is damaged, wouldn’t it mean that a broken bone would be broken on the spot?

But he has no regrets about his choice.

The meal doesn’t count until it reaches your mouth.

At least he doesn't have the ability to complete the statue within the foreseeable time, so he'd better settle down and turn the foreign objects into his own strength.

When your strength is sufficient and your horizons are broadened, you can then consider further issues.
