Chapter 1 001 Drunken Eight Immortals

Somewhere in an unknown parallel world, in Heyang City, the capital of China.

The afternoon sun baked the air slightly hot, and there was an anxious heat wave inside and outside Wenfeng Ancient Street.

And in the depths of the ancient street, a few wailings suddenly came from an antique building with a gold-lettered signboard of "Eight Immortals Martial Arts Hall".

"Gan!"

"Surprise inspection?"

"If the score is not up to standard, the venue and funding indicators will be withdrawn?"

"Where can labor and management find a dozen registered students to make up the numbers now?"

A temporary notice that read "Martial Arts Project Rating Inspection" caught Chen Hao's eyes and made his heart feel cold.

The starting point of this kind of rating check is absolutely beyond doubt, but it is not a good thing for the Eight Immortals Martial Arts School, which just graduated its last student last week.

Because according to the detailed rules in the notice, the superior department team that came to inspect this time will have senior people coming to provide on-site guidance and supervision.

Chen Hao knew that anyone who could be called a master by the superior department would be a dark energy master of the fifth or even sixth rank at worst.

Huaguo's martial arts certification is divided into nine ranks, using eagle, tiger, and dragon to distinguish three major martial arts realms: Ming Jin, Dark Jin, and Hua Jin.

In addition, the three colors of bronze, silver and gold are matched with animal totems to represent the specific ranks.

The Bronze Eagle is the first stage, the Silver Eagle is the second stage, the Golden Eagle is the third stage, all the way up to the ninth stage Golden Dragon.

Chen Hao is 23 years old this year. He has been practicing Drunken Eight Immortals Fist with his grandfather since he was seven years old. He has been stuck in the third-rank Golden Eagle for two years. Even his deceased grandfather was only fifth-rank Silver Tiger at his peak.

Zui Ba Xian Quan was originally a very inconspicuous small school among many drunken fists, and it can be regarded as a branch of the southern style of drunken fist.

In retrospect, we can find a few words and phrases in the "Book of Boxing · Boxing Preparations" compiled by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the southern school is divided into Zui Baxian Quan, Su Qier Zui Quan, Shaolin Zui Quan, and the northern school is divided into Zui Mantis Quan, Wudang Zui Quan, Lu Zhishen Zui Quan, Wu Song Zui Quan and so on.

If you don't search the Internet carefully, few people will know the ditches and hurdles inside.

With such a niche and declining boxing technique, if you want to fool those fifth- and sixth-level dark-strength masters who have experienced many battles, it is definitely a long life for the old birthday star to hang himself.

But the problem is, if there is no fraud, the Eight Immortals Martial Arts School will not be able to pass this surprise inspection.

Because the most basic criterion for evaluating a martial arts event is successors!

At this moment, there is only Chen Hao left in the martial arts gym. He can't even find half of the students. He can't even be rated as a bird, so he just closes the door and counts the ball.

"What should we do? There are no students, not to mention the ratings, even if they go through a formality, they can't be fooled!" Chen Hao felt very uncomfortable, and he got up and walked around in the courtyard of the martial arts hall. lap.

Looking at the empty martial arts school courtyard and the dusty fitness equipment, he felt a little irritable at this time, so much so that he no longer felt like practicing the Drunken Eight Immortals Boxing daily to polish his strength.

Feeling depressed, he had no choice but to go to the bathroom and take a shower to wash away the sweat stains from the summer afternoon, and physically cool down the brain that was about to turn into a paste.

……

It took more than ten minutes to wash up, and changed into a clean sportswear. Chen Hao took a look at himself in the mirror.

At the age of 23, with a height of 1.7 meters [-], slightly delicate facial features, coupled with the bronze skin caused by years of martial arts practice, he is full of vigor and vitality.

Pulling the switch, Chen Hao closed the gate of the martial arts hall, and walked out of the gate of the Eight Immortals Martial Arts Hall, facing a wave of early summer heat.

When walking past the white tower next to the entrance of the martial arts hall, Chen Hao specifically raised his head and took a look.

This white tower has a unique shape. It faces the southwest and the northeast. The base is 2 meters higher than the road surface of the ancient street. It is surrounded by bluestone railings to form an independent courtyard, which happens to stand next to the Eight Immortals Martial Arts Hall.

The entrance of the White Pagoda is a three-story archway with flying eaves. The archway is engraved with three ancient Chinese characters "Wenfeng Pagoda". painting.

The four paintings are of four animals: "bat", "sika deer", "monkey" and "magpie". Among them, monkey is "beast", which is related to "shou".

The left and right couplets read: "The shadow of a hundred-foot whip casts into three distant rivers to point to the path of fish and dragons, and the force of a pen is used to represent the sun, menstruation, and sky."

This is the landmark building of Wenfeng Ancient Street——Wenfeng Tower, also known as Zhenxing Tower, was built in the 15th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. It was only 9 floors when it was first built. Later, 16 floors were added in the 4th year of Daoguang, with a total of 13 floors. .

Although the pagoda has gone through more than 200 years, it is well preserved, and even the picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea carved on the forehead at the bottom of the pagoda is still vivid.

Chen Hao is already used to this Wenfeng Pagoda. After all, he has lived in a nearby martial arts school for more than 20 years since he was a child and has seen this Wenfeng Pagoda tens of thousands of times.

But this time when he looked at the relief sculpture of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea on the forehead of the first floor of the tower, and when he thought of the current situation of his family's martial arts school, Chen Hao couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart: "You eight old gods have great powers, you can easily pass by The sea."

"But my Eight Immortals Martial Arts School cannot protect itself this time when the Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river!"

……

Standing under the Wenfeng Pagoda and sighing for a moment, Chen Hao stepped into the crowded Wenfeng Ancient Street.

The dim sunset, the towering white pagoda, the bluestone pavement at the foot, and the reflection of mottled ancient houses in the distance, coupled with the fact that the dikes along the river are full of tourists who come to drink tea in the scenic area, have a special humanistic charm.

There are three water systems running through Heyang City. The Fujiang River is famous for its pickled mustard, the Jialing River has been famous throughout the world since ancient times, and there is also the Qujiang River that few people have heard of.

Three rivers enter the city, and the water colors are different. The blue, turbid, and white finally meet at one point, like a natural vortex.

This vortex happens to be next to the embankment of Wenfeng Ancient Street, and it can be seen very clearly from the embankment.

Most of the tourists who enjoy the scenery along the river, or the old tea-tasting people nearby, come here for the wonders of the confluence of the three rivers.

Whenever the sun is shining and the clouds and fog dissipate, photographers with long guns and short guns can be seen everywhere.

The horizon is covered with pink glow, and the head above the head is a broad blue sky. Looking at the intersection of the three rivers is even more edifying.

What did you say?

Just take a photo or screenshot and use it as wallpaper!
Chen Hao, who was just a little angry at the corner of his mouth, was in no mood to enjoy the scenery.

At this time, he was staring at the center of the vortex where the three colors intersected, his mind was rolling back and forth like a paste in it, thinking about how to save his own Eight Immortals Martial Arts.

At the very least, you have to pass the check and rating first.

"If it doesn't work, why don't you find a reason to spend some money to hold an event, call back all the former students, and make up a temporary number to fool them?" Chen Hao stared at the center of the vortex, and suddenly an idea came to him, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. Same.

Most of the students who graduated from the martial arts school are locals in Heyang City, and their contact information is also there. With a little effort and energy, they will definitely be able to call a few back.

Moreover, Chen Hao and his grandfather taught the old students step by step. Even if a long time has passed, the routine of Drunken Eight Immortals Boxing back and forth only has eight moves in total. After practicing it for a few times, it will be like doing exercises. You will definitely be able to master it soon. get started.

Based on the luck of the draw, if these veteran students are used for inspection when the time comes, even the masters of the sixth and seventh levels will probably not be able to find any major faults.

"I'm such a smart and clever ghost!" Chen Hao rubbed his hands happily, and was about to get up and go back to the martial arts hall to look through the roster of old students.

Suddenly, a burst of white mist appeared in the center of the vortex where the three rivers converged.

This side of Heyang City is densely covered with water systems and has many mountains and fog. Every morning and evening, it is easy for fog to form on the river.

It's just that this time the river fog came a little violently and suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire river surface was covered by a layer of white mist, and even the golden light of the red sun that had not yet set in the sky could not penetrate.

Those sitting nearby drinking tea, taking pictures, and playing are all stunned!
While everyone was amazed by the beautiful scenery, they took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos, and forwarded a wave of Moments by the way.

Even Chen Hao stared at the center of the river in a daze!

Because of the afterglow of the setting sun and his eyesight slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, Chen Hao vaguely saw a blurry figure emerging from the center of the vortex.

"Fuck!"

"Why is there someone there?"

"Can't think about jumping into the river to commit suicide? Or accidentally fell into the water from the cruise ship?"

While Chen Hao was surprised, his body instinctively rushed to the boarding pier below the embankment.

In order to open up a new income-generating point for cultural tourism in Heyang City, the district specially built a simple cruise ship pier on the side of Wenfeng Ancient Street.

In addition to the pontoon for boarding the ship, there are also a row of life jackets and lifebuoys hanging on the pier to prevent someone from suddenly falling into the water.

"Master Chen, why are you here?" Old Chang, the dock manager, asked curiously when he saw Chen Hao rushing over.

"Uncle Chang, someone fell into the river just now!"

"Lend me a lifebuoy! I'll go down and save people!" Chen Hao said a few words at a time, took off his sports clothes, grabbed a lifebuoy and plunged into the cold river water.

"What? Someone fell into the water? Oh my god! There was a heavy fog on the river, and my old eyes were so dim that I couldn't see anything clearly..." Old man Chang trembled when he saw this, and hurriedly took out an iron whistle and blew it. I pressed the walkie-talkie on my waist that I didn't usually use much.

The red cloth armband on the old man's arm is written with the words "Safety Officer" in big letters. There are only more than 2000 yuan.

If he drowned a person face to face in the river, then he, the security officer, would be very responsible!
……

With the piercing whistle, the fire brigade stationed in the scenic area rushed over in a hurry.

The old people drinking tea on the shore and the tourists taking pictures also heard the movement, and everyone gathered together.

After asking clearly about someone falling into the water, a large group of young and old men ignited a strong onlooker mood.

Even the shop owners who opened teahouses, restaurants, sold antique jade wares, and grilled sausages in the ancient street hurried over when they heard the news.

After a while, the embankment along the ancient street was crowded with people of all kinds.

"I heard that someone jumped into the river?"

"It seems that a young man is going to save someone!"

"Do what is right!"

"There is such a heavy fog on the river. Where can you see anyone? Call the police quickly!" Both sides of the river were like a pot exploding, and there was endless discussion.

It has been many years since no one fell into the water on this ancient street, so this "accident" naturally became big news within a few kilometers nearby.

As for Chen Hao, who jumped into the river to save people at the first time, he was swimming towards the center of the vortex relying on his proficient underwater skills.

In addition to physical fitness, what people who practice martial arts pay attention to most is the martial ethics of chivalry and righteousness.

After seeing someone falling into the water, Chen Hao, the heir of Drunken Fist, naturally jumped into the river to save people as if he had an instinctive reaction.

Not to mention whether he would be rewarded for this sudden action afterwards, just saving a life and building a seven-level pagoda is enough for a young man like Chen Hao to comfort himself.

In addition, Chen Hao often played in the Three Rivers when he was a child, and the water quality is not bad. It is not difficult for him to cross a river several hundred meters wide with a lifebuoy on.

Moreover, the current at the intersection of the three rivers is strange. The closer to the center of the vortex, the greater the suction force. After swimming past the riverside, Chen Hao felt that the second half of the swim became easier and easier. In less than a few minutes, he was able to use the suction force to He swam to the center of the vortex.

But when he arrived at his destination, Chen Hao was dumbfounded!
Everything that came into view was filled with white mist, and the visibility was less than three or four meters.

Not to mention saving people, it became extremely difficult for him to find a direction to swim back to the shore by himself.

"What about people?"

"Where did that man go?"

"Am I wrong?"

"That's not right! There was indeed a figure in the river just now!"

Shocked by the cold river water, Chen Hao, who was originally hot-headed, has calmed down a little now.

The surging river water around him pushed the orange-red lifebuoy around the edge of the whirlpool. He raised his head vigorously and looked around on the river surface.

At this time, the concave point at the center of the vortex caught his attention.

I saw a bit of dazzling golden light suddenly appearing from the slightly inclined and concave center of the vortex.

If Chen Hao hadn't been very close, it would have been difficult to see this tiny light!

And under the golden light, a vague figure appeared in the river.

Chen Hao took a closer look and found that the figure soaking in the river was huge. He was at least 2 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a fat body. It would not be an exaggeration to describe this person as a strong-backed man.

Not only that, this "person" is wearing a yellowed bamboo hat on his head, holding a shiny golden object in his hand, a wine gourd tied around his waist, and a long emerald green stick stuck in his back. Not ordinary people dress up.

"Fuck!"

"Playing cosplay?"

"Hey! Brother! Are you alright!" Chen Hao yelled at the top of his voice, and seeing that the man hadn't moved, he hurriedly drew the lifebuoy and leaned over.

Just as he reached out and touched the man's shoulder, the strangest thing happened.

There was only a "poof" like farting, and the figure soaked in the water turned into countless transparent fragments, and finally melted into the turbulent river under Chen Hao's astonished eyes.

The golden object in the man's hand turned into a stream of light and slipped into Chen Hao's right hand unexpectedly.

Chen Hao was taken aback by this sudden scene, thinking that he was delusional, and hurriedly lowered his head to look, only to see that there was a mark on the back of his hand that looked like it had been branded by a red-hot branding iron!
The pattern of this imprint is very strange!
Looking carefully, it is a strange snake with its head and tail in its mouth, and there is a closed door with a corner missing in the middle of the strange snake.

"Is this a tattoo?"

"Why did a tattoo suddenly appear on the back of my hand?"

"Where is the person? Where is the big living person just now? Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?"
