Alienated Martial Arts

The autumn wind is bleak and the night rain is falling.

Near the intersection of dark alleys is an abandoned garbage dump.

Wei Tao secretly buckled the iron nail, held the dagger behind his back, and waited in silence.

The cold wind just now felt strange.

He immediately felt very wary.

He was even ready for a bloody battle.

The soft footsteps stopped at the T-intersection.

With the help of a little light from the window not far away.

Coupled with the reflection of water on the ground.

Wei Tao saw the other party's exquisitely made poncho, obviously valuable shoes on his feet, and his slender figure, and he immediately made a rough judgment.

This is a woman.

A young woman.

Moreover, she is a woman with good personal and financial conditions.

What Wei Tao just couldn't figure out was why such a woman was wandering around his residence, and seemed to have been there for quite a while, just to wait for his return.

"I know you're here."

"Do you think I can't find you if you hide?"

The slightly magnetic female voice sounded slowly, blending into the rustling rain.

"Because what happened yesterday has already made us very angry, so if you come out honestly, I may be kind enough to spare you once."

"Otherwise, I have to let you know what is..."

Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly flew out from behind the garbage pile and fell towards her.

"Xu Yao, you are looking for death!"

The young woman's eyes instantly hardened, and her face turned cold.

Snapped!

She didn't back down, she didn't give in, she didn't dodge.

At this moment, the progress suddenly hit the ground.

His hands were thrown out of the poncho like lightning, like a whip piercing the rain curtain, making a crisp sound.

Stab!

The black shadow was torn apart instantly, creating a huge hole.

"Just a raincoat?"

A thought just flashed through her mind.

There was another muffled bang.

A bag of dust fell down all over his face.

Covering her whole body.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of iron nails were fired, and they landed on her face indiscriminately.

There was also a dagger following closely behind, wiping her neck silently.

Then he exerted force in the opposite direction in an instant and stabbed the blade fiercely in.

Click!

The young woman's head suddenly bent to one side.

There were several iron nails stuck in his cheeks.

It doesn't look like a living person, but more like a beautifully crafted humanoid puppet.

Plop!

Wei Tao staggered after landing.

Various parts of the body suddenly felt sore, numb, and painful, which was almost unbearable.

Without any hesitation, he immediately walked away.

He didn't even look at the effect he had just achieved.

Not to mention whether a woman is alive or dead.

Holding back the feeling of soreness and pain, Wei Tao began to run wildly in the dark alley, without stopping from beginning to end.

After all, he has a clear positioning of himself.

Never overestimate, nor belittle oneself.

As strong as you have, just eat a few bowls of dry rice.

If you bite off more than you can chew, you may very well push yourself to death.

This is the situation he is in now. Since he can't compare with the rigid conditions of a great master above the profound realm, he must make careful calculations.

Every movement must be precise, and it must be ensured that it does not exceed the tolerance of this weak body.

Every ounce of strength must be used to the extreme, and not a single penny should be wasted.

And the series of explosive attacks just now are already the limit of what he can do at this stage.

After a blow, regardless of whether it hits or not, you must run away and never give the opponent a chance to fight back.

Of course, if you are entangled and can't get away, it becomes another way of fighting for your life at any cost.

In the center of the T-shaped alley.

The young woman raised her head and let the rain fall on her face.

Rinse off the dust that was just stuck on your face.

Time passed little by little.

She pulled out the iron nails embedded in her cheek one by one.

Then he raised his hand and held the dagger pierced into his neck.

Pull it out bit by bit.

And throughout the entire process, no blood was seen flowing out of her from beginning to end.

Only the non-stop rain continued to wash over her body.

"The careful thinking, decisive judgment, quick speed, and almost interlocking actions are somewhat beyond my expectations."

She turned around and looked in the direction where Wei Tao left, with a strong look of doubt in her eyes.

"I can confirm that he is just a reincarnated person, and there is no trace of awakening until now, so he cannot be called a reincarnated awakened person."

"Then, he is just an ordinary person, and he can actually cause such harm to me.

If he had awakened and had real power, he might even have killed half of my life with just the lightning attack. "

"So this is the real reason why Sister Yin likes him and wants to train him first and then let him do things?"

As she thought about it, she sped up to catch up in the direction Wei Tao left.

A moment later, just when she was about to walk out of the dark alley and onto the avenue outside, she stopped without warning.

Soon after, she got into a car parked on the side of the road.

"Sister Yin, why don't you let me chase him? Aren't you also very interested in him?"

In the spacious back seat, the young woman took off her coat, kicked off her shoes and socks, bent her legs and leaned on the soft cushions.

She said quite angrily, and slowly stretched out, revealing the beautiful curves of her slender body.

"Xiao Li, we have been delayed here for too long today. There will be many opportunities to contact him in the future."

Sitting in the driver's seat is also a young woman.

She started the car and turned on the heater, "Besides, you made a lot of noise. If there are other people nearby, it won't end well for us if we get into a fight."

"So what if someone else comes over? If the two of us join forces, can't we deal with it?"

"It's not a matter of whether it can be dealt with, but there is absolutely no need to make the matter a big deal."

She released the handbrake and the car began to slide forward slowly, "The power we have awakened should be used as little as possible. Do you want to quickly become that kind of insane, self-destructive lunatic?"

Xiao Li seemed a little unconvinced, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

Listening to the patter of rain and feeling the slight shaking of the car, she slowly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

…………

……………………

Morning of the third day.

Wei Tao lowered the brim of his hat, sat at a food stall set up by the roadside, and silently observed the Huwei Gym across the road.

He slowly finished two bowls of noodles, drank all the soup, and then walked across the street to the front of the gym.

As soon as I entered the front hall, I could clearly hear the sounds of practicing equipment and hitting sandbags inside.

The spacious training ground is brightly lit, with several young people doing different exercises, and next to them are the gym instructors who correct their movements from time to time.

Wei Tao glanced around and walked straight towards the second floor of the gym.

"Brother Xu came at the right time."

Curator Shen Hu stood waiting at the top of the stairs, "Let's go out through the back door. My car is parked there."

The two left the gym, crossed a path, and soon came to a dilapidated parking lot.

Wei Tao opened the car door and sat down. He touched the uncomfortable seat under him and rolled down the window half way.

"Okay, okay, brother Xu, roll the window to this position just right. If you roll it all the way, it might not come up."

"If you see that there is no wedge, stick it in the gap, otherwise the glass may fall out in a while."

"The seat belt... seems to have been removed because the buckle was broken last time. You believe in my driving skills, we don't need that thing."

After Shen Hu finished explaining, he turned the key in the car.

Accompanied by a hoarse howl that was almost breathless, the entire car trembled at a high frequency, and a stream of black smoke erupted from its butt, carrying the two of them quickly towards the Baishan forest area outside the city.

The car was roaring, and Wei Tao was trembling slightly.

However, he was not in sync with the vibrations of the car body.

Instead, he is transporting Qi and blood in his own way, controlling the muscles in his body to tremble at high frequencies.

This is an exercise method that he created by learning from the operation of the blood network between turtles and snakes, combined with the current actual situation.

When nothing happens, you can use it to stimulate the blood and strengthen the muscles. Although it is far from the height of practicing Xuanwu True Solution, it is still a good choice for strengthening the body.

Two hours later.

The car stopped beside a green farm.

Wei Tao followed Shen Hu, carrying two jars of unlabeled medicinal wine in his hands, and soon came to a courtyard with gray bricks and gray tiles.

Dangdangdang...

Shen Hu knocked on the courtyard door.

A young man who looked to be in his twenties came out, saw Shen Hu smiling behind him, and immediately welcomed them in.

After a while, the three of them came to a room decorated with antique style, in which sat an old man with white hair and beard.

"Uncle Qu, this is the Xu Yao I mentioned to you."

Shen Hu bowed respectfully, and then went straight to the point with an introduction without too much politeness.

Wei Tao followed Shen Hu and saluted, his eyes paused on the old man, then lowered his gaze, silently staring at a green brick three steps in front of him.

The old man nodded slightly, "Shen Hu has told me, Xiao Xu, do you want to learn the method of entraining qi to strengthen your body?"

Wei Tao nodded, cupped his fists and saluted, "I have always had this wish since Brother Shen mentioned it, and I beg Master Qu to grant it."

Qu Yu waved his hand, "What's wrong with being a master? Xiao Xu, don't listen to this kid Shen Hu's nonsense.

What the old man has here is just a method of entraining qi and breathing that has been passed down from his ancestors, but it is not as magical as you think. "

Speaking of this, Qu Yu suddenly coughed violently.

He picked up the tea at his hand and drank it slowly. It took a while before he could breathe smoothly.

"And now times have changed. The power of guns and cannons is getting stronger and stronger. In addition, the practice process is also complicated and unspeakable. Various schools of thought are gradually withering away, just waiting for the day when they will be swept into the past."

The young man sitting next to him answered, "My father was injured by a gunshot back then, so his body has been suffering from hidden illnesses that have not healed. He will feel uncomfortable in rainy weather."

Qu Yu slowly drank a cup of hot tea and sighed, "Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to admit that a gun is fast from seven steps away; within seven steps, a gun is accurate and fast.

If it were to be a life-and-death confrontation, even when I was at my peak, I would not dare to face the enemy head-on with more than two gunmen who have undergone systematic training and have rich combat experience. "

He raised his head and glanced at Wei Tao, "Xiao Xu, do you understand what I said?"

"Understood."

Wei Tao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "This junior has never liked fighting and killing, but wants to break through his own limits and experience more wonderful scenery, so I hope the music master can make it happen."

Qu Yu was silent for a long time and nodded slowly.

"Since Xiao Xu is sincere and is Shen Hu's friend, I have no reason to refuse."

After a pause, he sighed again, "But I still want to say something ugly. If you join our sect, you must abide by the sect's rules and no violations shall occur.

In addition, the earth recipes we practice can indeed stimulate the body's potential for those who can bear it, but if you can't bear it, it will not be beneficial to the body, but harmful. You'd better prepare in advance Be mentally prepared. "

Wei Tao stood up from his seat, "Don't worry, Music Master, I know everything."

"Okay, then I will accept Xiao Xu as my disciple!"

Qu Yu laughed, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

He turned to look at the young man and said, "Fang Long, let's have a cup of apprenticeship tea."

Wei Tao took the tea and placed it in Qu Yu's hands.

Qu Yu held the tea cup and said with a solemn expression, "We have been a small family since ancient times. There are not so many complicated rules. There are only three points you must keep in mind."

"Firstly, you cannot bully your master and destroy your ancestors or betray your family. Secondly, you cannot abuse force or bully the weak. Thirdly, fellow sects must help each other and never kill each other. Xiao Xu, you must remember this clearly."

"The disciples have all memorized it."

Wei Tao bowed sincerely and said, "Teacher, please rest assured that this disciple has always been gentle and kind, and has never taken the initiative to cause trouble."

Qu Yu was slightly startled, as if he wanted to say something. He was silent for a moment but just smiled and said, "It's better to be gentler. If you encounter anything in the future, you can go to your Senior Brother Long and ask him to help you solve the problem in detail. "

After lunch, Shen Hu drove away by himself.

Wei Tao stayed and began to practice under Qu Yu's guidance.

Prick the acupuncture points with silver needles, breathe in and out, and realize the sense of Qi.

At the same time, it is supplemented by oral and external application, food tonics and medicinal baths to strengthen the body.

Every morning, noon and evening, I have to stand and practice boxing.

There is even meditation and meditation.

Qu Yu was indeed right. This practice called Guanshan Method was indeed complicated and unspeakable.

But in Wei Tao's view, everything else can be ignored. What is really important is breathing and realizing the sense of Qi.

Time passed little by little.

Soon it was a few days later.

At midnight, dark clouds gathered.

As a gust of moist mountain wind blew by, raindrops began to fall to the ground.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning pierced the sky.

Wei Tao opened his eyes at this moment.

He exhaled softly, with a hint of joy on his face.

Quietly, the status bar appeared in front of me.

Name: Mountain Viewing Method

Progress: Introduction to the exercises.

Status: First glimpse of the door.

Realm: Introduce Qi into the body and strengthen the physical body.

"Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the progress of mountain viewing method."

Wei Tao didn't hesitate and chose yes directly.

Uh-huh!

The status bar suddenly becomes blurry.

A gold coin disappeared without a trace.

The mysterious aura is injected into the body, causing changes to come quietly.

Soon after, Wei Tao stared at the exercise interface on the status bar, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly.

The Mountain Viewing Technique has improved to a higher level, but he has no obvious feeling.

In particular, the strengthening of the physical body that he valued most was almost non-existent, not even as good as his own tremor training method.

"When you perform the Mountain Viewing Method, you can actually feel the emergence of Qi, which is introduced into the body bit by bit from the outside."

"However, the energy is too little and cannot meet the needs at all."

"Maybe it's because the cultivation progress is too low."

"Anyway, there are still a lot of gold coins now. Let's just improve the mountain viewing method to perfection."

Wei Tao thought deeply and quickly made a decision.

The gold coins disappeared one by one, and the mysterious aura was injected again and again.

He was completely immersed in it, completely forgetting the passage of time.

Unknowingly, a whirlpool that seemed to exist but seemed not to exist centered around the training room where he was.

More and more "qi" disappeared into Wei Tao's body.

Heavy rain fell, covering the whole world.

The wind howled outside, making a sharp sound.

Qu Yu put down the medicine bowl and looked at the rattling window with some surprise.

"It's been a long time since there's been such a storm."

"Especially this strong wind makes my memory confused, as if I have returned to those years when I lived by the sea a long time ago."

He sighed, turned around and glanced, "How has Xu Yao's practice been these days?"

Qu Fanglong said, "Replying to my father, although Junior Brother Xu is very hardworking, he has not yet felt angry."

Qu Yu nodded, "It's not easy for a young man like him to calm down and practice. You still have to encourage him and don't talk nonsense to discourage him."

"Father, don't worry, I know what to do."

Qu Fanglong was silent for a moment, then continued, "But in my opinion, it's not a problem for Junior Brother Xu to keep holding it in like this. Instead, it's better to take him out to relax, so that he can relax and not be too tight. Something went wrong.”

"I know what you mean."

Qu Yu closed his eyes and said, "Then take him with you, but Xiao Xu is an honest boy. You and your friends can take him to eat and drink, but don't do any messy and excessive things."

Qu Fanglong smiled and said, "Father is overly worried. We only plan to have a camping barbecue in Baishui River. How can we do all those messy things."

Early the next morning.

The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the weather cleared up.

Wei Tao picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp, then looked down at his obviously strong and strong hands.

"Breathing in and out, entraining the air to temper the body, I did blame you a little bit."

"This practice method is not interesting at first, but I didn't expect that it will be fascinating and have a unique scenery after you really get into it."

"What's more important is that the air it draws seems to be breathing together with the heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy into the body. Even I can't clearly find its source."

He took a deep breath. This time, his hands were no longer thick and powerful, but his whole body suddenly expanded. In an instant, he broke through the height of two meters, and even almost hit the roof.

The muscles all over his body are so taut that they look like cast bronze.

There are also big muscles that are tight and protruding, like chains wrapped around the body.

It was as if he had transformed from a human into a hideous and terrifying monster.

"This kind of body and appearance gives me a little sense of security, and I no longer feel weak and helpless like before."

There was a crisp sound.

Wei Tao flattened the metal teapot.

He didn't care about it, and his attention had been transferred to the status bar.

Name: Entering the Mountain Method

Progress: 300 percent.

Status: Breaking the twenty-dan limit.

Realm: Entraining Qi to temper the body and strengthen the physical body.

Note: This method resonates with the vitality of heaven and earth and has been greatly evolved and improved.

"The vitality of heaven and earth resonates?"

"From the method of observing the mountain to the method of entering the mountain."

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain. So if I can continue to improve, will I become a mountain after entering the mountain?"

"It's a pity that there is no option to improve in the status bar. I don't know what conditions must be met to continue. Or should I say that I have practiced this Qi-entraining method to the end..."

Wei Tao was thinking silently when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Junior Brother Xu, it's time for us to set off."

Qu Fanglong's voice came from outside, "Let me tell you, there is a beautiful woman attending this picnic, and she is a rare rich kid. If you can seize the opportunity, you will definitely be able to make yourself a success." It’s a great opportunity to save fifty years of hard work.”

With a soft creak, Wei Tao opened the door.

"I have no interest in women."

He put on his coat and walked outside, "It's our method of observing mountains and enlarging Qi that attracts my attention more."

Qu Fanglong glanced behind him, hating how hard it was for him to say, "Looking at such a smart young man, how come he always says stupid things.

As my father's son and the next successor of the Guanshan Sect, I know that we can no longer stick to the old ways. We must keep pace with the times and integrate with the times in order to achieve better development. Why are you going backwards as you live longer? "

"Let me ask you, if you continue to practice, can you reach the height of the old man?"

Wei Tao thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, "I don't know."

"It's okay if you don't know. This is an insurmountable gap."

Qu Fanglong sighed, "But what if you have trained hard for decades and reached the old man's level?

It’s not that all living beings are equal under the gun. It only takes one ordinary person to knock us down directly, let alone under a hail of bullets, there is no way to survive. "

"Wake up, junior brother, times have changed."

"Well, times do change."

"What Senior Brother Long said makes sense. I will tell the teacher later to see what he thinks of what Senior Brother said..."

Wei Tao replied without sincerity, which immediately made Qu Fanglong extremely nervous and did not dare to say another word.

It also gave him a rare quiet time to think deeply about the practice of entering the mountain method and how to combine it with his own martial arts moves to gain stronger self-protection ability.

Suddenly, Wei Tao stopped beside a forest.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the young man and woman walking out of it, with an undetectable and inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

"They're dangerous."

Qu Fanglong's voice was obviously a little nervous, and it reached Wei Tao's ears in a very low voice.

"Don't stop, don't look around, let's get out of here quickly."
