I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The land of China is one of the oldest lands in the world and also the civilization with the most tenacious vitality.

While other ancient civilizations were submerged in the long river of history due to various disasters, only the people on this land continued to struggle and persevered tenaciously, and did not let the fire of civilization be cut off.

Because of this, the countries and people on this land have their own system, with extremely distinctive characteristics in their origins, history, myths, legends, costumes, texts, and etiquette.

It once led the trend and became the center of the world. Because he was immersed in the glory of the king, he became arrogant, closed himself off, and was on the verge of decline. It was even regarded as fat by the major powers and plundered wantonly.

Of course, whether it’s glory or abjection, it’s all in the past. Nowadays, this land with dragons as its mainstay is recovering its past prosperity at an alarming rate. The world dominated by Europe and America can no longer ignore the voice of the East. More and more countries are paying attention to this ancient country.

These eyes are not only secular, but also mysterious - the accumulation of time and the foundation of history are the most important mysteries. How many places can compete with China?

As time went by, the ancient clock tower, one of the two poles of the mysterious world known in the West for its long history, finally could no longer hold back and officially began cooperation and exchanges with the Eastern land.

Note that it is official, referring to official, and private communications in the name of individuals and families are not included. The exchanges between the East and the West can be traced back to BC. There are many magicians who are interested in the Eastern land. However, due to the turmoil and the chaotic international situation in the past century, official exchanges were cut off for a time, and it did not improve until the 1990s.

In the beginning of this new century, on the first day of spring, a delegation organized by the top brass of the Clock Tower and the first batch of one-year exchange students set foot on this ancient land, and Shenji was one of them. member.

However, he did not move with the large army. Even the way of entry was through customs and directly across the border - but it was not illegal entry, let alone smuggling. The official delegation had already completed the entry procedures, and the Chinese officials also knew and acquiesced. Doing this kind of behavior can be regarded as a "clear crossing".

One of the most famous mountains and rivers in China, Mount Tai, is one of the "Five Mountains". Two men, one tall and one short, climbed up an unnamed cliff that is rarely visited by people.

"Master, is this right here?"

The tall man took advantage of his height and length to climb the cliff first. This is a young man, about 25 years old. His appearance can be described in eight words - handsome features, strong back and strong waist. The former refers to the face, and the latter refers to the figure. The seemingly contradictory styles are integrated into one on him, but they don't make people feel out of place.

"It's right here. Your master and I have practiced martial arts in Mount Tai since I was a child. There is no one in the whole of China who is more familiar with Mount Tai than me."

Although the short man was a step slower, his movements were more relaxed, and he obviously still had some energy left. This is an old man whose age is indistinguishable, with gray hair but no wrinkles on his face. The most eye-catching thing is his arm. When it hangs down naturally, the wrist exceeds the knee, which is indescribably weird.

"Is there anything special around here?" The young man looked around with a puzzled expression.

"No." The old man shook his head.

"Then why did you choose this place?" The young man didn't understand. "It's neither the border nor the only way to go to BJ. The road is difficult to walk. Apart from being hidden, it has no advantages at all. But when it comes to being hidden, there are too many places that are more suitable than here. I can’t figure it out.”

"I can't figure it out either." The old man walked to the edge of the cliff and cast his gaze towards the East China Sea at his feet. "Maybe it is to show strength. Our relationship with the West involves both cooperation and competition. You have also read the information posted above. What do you think of the little foreign devils in the West?"

"They are very strong, they are all elites." The young man answered honestly.

"That's right. Each of them is the heir of an ancient family, and their status is equivalent to yours. Do you think the Clock Tower sent these outstanding young people to us just to study?"

"Got it, they are the calling card of the Clock Tower."

"Yes, and our business card is you young people, how about you? Do you have confidence?"

"Of course, people who practice martial arts are not afraid of challenges. Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely show the majesty of the 'Through Arm Fist'."

Hearing his apprentice's answer, the old man laughed loudly: "What we need is this momentum. The times have changed, and a person's restraint and humility are not necessary. The only thing that determines strength is the fist - what do you think? Mr. Commissioner of the Clock Tower?" "

"Eh?"

"Don't be in a daze, hurry up and translate."

"oh--"

The young man quickly cleared his throat and changed the language. His task is to translate. Not many Chinese of the older generation understand English, and even fewer in the mysterious world. Many of the younger generation are proficient in foreign languages ​​​​under the official training. The most outstanding among them is this young man. His secular identity is a master's degree student in the English department of a well-known university. His authentic London accent has made many foreign friends praise him. Absolutely.

"What do you think?"

"I think senior is right."

A strange voice came from the bottom of the cliff. Was it Chinese or standard Mandarin? The young man couldn't guarantee that his Mandarin was more standard than this voice.

Now it’s interesting. The Chinese speak with a Cockney accent and the British commissioner speaks Mandarin. Neither the old man nor the young man knows how to answer the conversation. No one knows what level of Chinese this special correspondent is. What if he can only speak this sentence?

"..."

"..."

Fortunately, the awkward silence only lasted a few seconds before being broken by a person rising from the bottom of the cliff.

Dressed in black, he was suspended in the air, carrying a huge backpack on his back. This skill alone makes the old and young people admire him. Flying magic is a high-end skill no matter where he is.

What is even more shocking is the appearance of this special correspondent. He has black hair and black eyes and is about the same height as an old man. Forget it, Westerners also have dwarfs, such as the modern emperor Napoleon. But this special correspondent is too young. He is not an old monster pretending to be young, but he is really young. With the old man's attainments in Chinese martial arts, he can see at a glance the strong energy and blood in the special correspondent, which is unique to young people. Once the vitality is lost, it will never come back.

The special commissioner from the West bowed his hands to the two of them and said in a voice that matched his appearance: "I'm sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long."

"It's okay, it's okay, we just arrived." The old man waved his hand.

"I haven't asked the two distinguished people for their names yet." The young commissioner landed and handed over his hand again.

"The sixth generation descendant of the Qi family's 'Tong Arm Boxing', Ji Lin."

"The seventh generation successor, Zhang Puzhuo, how do you call the special commissioner?"

"Shen Zhong."

The young man surrendered his hand for the third time, and the naturalness made Ji Lin and Zhang Suzhuo feel a strong sense of disobedience.

"Are you...really the special correspondent of the Clock Tower?"
