Martial Arts Song

Chapter 329 Undercurrent
In the evening, Dongcheng, Sanyang Ferry.

A ferry slowly approached the shore.

A middle-aged man in a long gown and a mandarin jacket stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the ferry bank ahead with a faint smile on his face.

After a while, the ferry came to a complete stop. The middle-aged man paid the fare, then got off the boat carrying a bamboo suitcase and slowly walked to Kowloon Avenue above the ferry.

Standing on the side of Kowloon Avenue, the middle-aged man waved to a rickshaw waiting for passengers, and then said to the driver: "Do you want to go to 'Sanlin'?"

"go."

The driver quickly replied with a smile, and then asked, "Where are you going to 'Sanlin', sir?"

"Let's talk about it after we get to Sanlin first."

The middle-aged man replied with a smile as he got into the car.

"okay."

The driver responded again.

After that, after the middle-aged man sat firmly, the driver lifted the rickshaw and started pulling it towards the direction of "Sanlin".

More than thirty minutes later.

The rickshaw entered the boundary of "Sanlin". As the rickshaw driver drove, he turned back and asked the middle-aged man where he was going with a smile: "Sir, we are now in the boundary of 'Sanlin'. Where are you going?"

"Are we here?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked around carefully and said with a smile, "Let's go to Sanlin Town."

"Sanlin Town?"

When the driver heard the middle-aged man's final destination, he frowned slightly and said, "Sir, Sanlin Town is too remote, and there are no street lights over there. What are you doing there at night?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man kept smiling and said, "Just tell me how much money you want to go."

The driver smiled and quoted the price: "It will cost at least 40 yuan to go there!"

More than ten minutes later.

Sanlin Town.

On the dark town road, only the cold moonlight shone.

It was mid-September, not many days left until the Central Country's Reunion Festival, and the moon was at its brightest.

A figure walked slowly on the road.

As he walked, he looked around the road in the bright moonlight and kept sniffing.

In this way, he sniffed his way through "Sanlin Town" and came to the end of the town road. When he was about to reach other more urbanized areas of "Sanlin" again, the figure slowly stopped.

There was no one around under the moonlight.

The figure stood on the sandy road, thinking to himself: "There is nothing unusual along the way, and there is no strange smell. Either Naoto-kun has never been here, or he handled it very cleanly. As for whether it is the former or the latter, it depends on the next 'inquiry'."

Afterwards, the figure turned around and returned the same way, walking towards the depths of "Sanlin Town" for the second time.

However, this time he stopped looking and sniffing at the situation on the road, and instead began to knock on the doors of the houses he met on the road...

……

Xicheng, Dachang District.

A small wooden hut was built on the rooftop of an old building.

Suddenly, the wooden door of the hut was pushed open!

A figure wearing only a pair of trousers, shirtless, with his entire right hand missing, and his entire right shoulder wrapped in large circles of bandages tied directly to the waist, stumbled out and ran towards the exit downstairs from the rooftop terrace.

As the figure ran, he was unable to keep his balance and bumped into the debris piled on the roof and fell, but he quickly stood up and continued running.

With such intense exercise, the white bandage on his right shoulder began to slowly seep with bright red blood.

But the figure still ignored it.

Finally, he ran to the exit leading downstairs, and happened to see a figure walking upstairs.

The figure who walked up was a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing a short suit and holding three bags of medicine tied with strings in his hands.

When he saw the figure stumbling over, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Hey, you're in such good spirits today? Are you running and exercising so late at night?"

After teasing him, he saw the bright red blood seeping out of the other person's right shoulder, then he frowned and said seriously: "Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around! I spent the remaining 2,000 yuan on your medicine. If you die, who will I ask for money from!"

As he spoke, he opened his arms and blocked the entrance to the rooftop.

"Step aside!"

The stumbling figure shouted in a deep voice.

However, the boy carrying the medicine bag didn't listen at all and still blocked the road.

Seeing this, the stumbling figure crashed directly into the other party.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

Two figures fell backwards to the ground at the same time.

"Ouch!"

The young man sitting on the ground let out a cry of pain, and raised his hand to rub his chest where he was hit with a painful look on his face.

On the other side, the stumbling figure fell unconscious on the ground without a sound after the collision, and the bandage tied on his right shoulder was stained red with blood.

"Flop! Even with a broken arm, he's still as strong as a bull. He's so strong..."

After rubbing the place where he was hit for a while, the young man stood up again, then walked to the figure with the broken arm, squatted down, helped the other person up, and dragged him back to the hut.

The space in the cabin is not big, only about ten square meters, which is enough for a bed, a small table and two small stools.

However, at this moment, not only was there a bed on the floor in the hut, but there were also a large number of bandages stained with bright red blood in the corner!

This makes the whole room look messy.

After the young man helped the man back, he took him straight to the bed and gently placed him on the bed.

Afterwards, he propped himself up, let out a light breath, and wanted to curse a few more times.

But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of something on the bedside, which startled him. It was a newspaper.

At this moment, on the page of the newspaper facing upwards, there was a very eye-catching sentence: Kill the Ryuying Sword Saint and enhance our country's prestige!
……

“Sizzle!” “Sizzle!” “Sizzle!”…

As large amounts of water vapor continued to erupt and the indoor temperature continued to rise, Chen Qing's first feeling after practicing "Yuan Qigong" was difficulty breathing!
That's right!

It's just hard to breathe!

The scorching temperature and the presence of water vapor quickly consumed and drained away all the air in this already small space!

Fortunately, Chen Qing has now completed the second round of lung training, and with the stimulation of the "electric shock method" in the previous six days, he can now hold his breath for nearly an hour!
After feeling difficulty in breathing, he immediately held his breath and continued to practice "Yuan Qigong" in a breath-holding state.

After practicing like this for a while, he finally felt the pressure in this "high-pressure chamber" that lived up to its name!
What does it feel like to be under pressure?

If Chen Qing were to describe it, his personal feeling was that it was as if an invisible force was slowly sticking to his skin and "squeezing" him.

Moreover, this "squeezing" also penetrated into the body through the pores, "squeezing" his blood vessels, tendons, muscles, internal organs and even deeper unknowns.

This feeling made his body instinctively tense up.

However, when practicing "Yuan Qigong" in this state, Chen Qing discovered that the "Qi" he practiced was also "squeezed"!
This kind of "squeezing" allows him to no longer have to keep his body covered in goose bumps to seal his pores, fearing that the energy he has cultivated will leak out of his body, because the pressure will penetrate the pores and squeeze the "energy" he has cultivated back.

But at the same time, this kind of "squeezing" not only slowed down the circulation of the "Qi" he cultivated, but also increased its consumption!
But in the end, the little bit of "qi" that is left after practicing in this way is of much higher quality than before.

After practicing it only a dozen times, Chen Qing felt that the "qi" stored in his dantian qi sea seemed to have reached the temperature rise standard of a daily day!

After discovering this, Chen Qing was surprised and started to practice "Yuan Qigong" even more diligently.

However, as time goes by, the pressure here becomes stronger and stronger, and the temperature becomes higher and higher.

The fur on Chen Qing's clothes was burnt.

And with Chen Qing's current [Essence] value of 30 points, he actually felt his body becoming "heavy".

But he still insisted on practicing "Yuan Qigong".

Because as the pressure inside gets greater and greater, the quality of the "Qi" he cultivates becomes higher and higher!
Although in terms of "quantity", it is relatively less, but the overall effect is that the temperature of the "qi" stored in his dantian qi sea is constantly rising. In just ten minutes, it is equivalent to the effect of five or six days on weekdays!
However, as the pressure continued to increase and the temperature continued to rise, after reaching a critical point, the "qi" that Chen Qing practiced through "circular qigong" could no longer be summarized into the dantian qi sea.

Under high pressure and high temperature, the "qi" that was cultivated was directly "purified" and "disappeared"!

At the same time, Chen Qing also felt that his body was as "heavy" as if he was carrying a thousand-pound weight!
Moreover, he was holding his breath during this period.

Although only ten or twenty minutes had passed, he was practicing in an extreme environment, which greatly shortened his breath-holding time and his heart was already beating wildly!

Besides that, in the outside world.

The burnt fur on Chen Qing's clothes actually began to emit sparks and white smoke.

If the air in here had not been used up and drained out long ago, leaving no conditions for combustion, it would probably have spontaneously combusted!

At this point, Chen Qing also understood that this was the time to reach the limit as Yue Suchun had said.

Immediately, he did not hesitate. When he practiced "Yuan Qigong" again, he had an idea in his mind and directly brought out the "Qi" stored in Dantian Qihai. He began to practice "Yuan Qigong" around the practice route for one cycle!

boom!
Chen Qing only felt a roar erupting in his body!
After practicing "Yuan Qigong" for so long, the "Qi" stored in the Dantian Qi Sea has flowed out and mixed with the blood, flowing throughout the body like a rushing river!

However, as this great river of qi and blood flows, the enormous pressure from the outside world is constantly "squeezing" it.

This causes the "energy" generated to begin to decrease continuously!
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Although Chen Qing discovered this situation, he could only continue to practice with all his might.

Boom! Boom!
The river of qi and blood is rushing forward, constantly decreasing, but its momentum is fierce and unstoppable!

But after a week, the original river of qi and blood had turned into a stream, silent and quiet.

But at this time, the "qi", after "extrusion and purification", has become fearless of the "extrusion" of external high pressure, and has the calmness of "let him be strong, the breeze will blow to the post".

In such a calm state, most of the reduced "Qi" returned to the Dantian Qi Sea.

"hiss!"

A hissing sound came out of Chen Qing's mouth when the "qi" returned to Dantian.

Just at that moment, when the remaining "qi" flowed back into his dantian qi sea, he actually felt hot!

It's just like an ordinary person being scalded by hot water without warning.

Afterwards, after getting used to the heat, Chen Qing felt that the qi sea in his dantian was much more "empty".

Although it was a lot "emptier", Chen Qing could clearly feel that the temperature coming from the Dantian Qi Sea was much higher than before!

However, at this moment Chen Qing did not bother to feel it carefully, because after transporting the "qi" back to the dantian qi sea, the high pressure and high temperature here had already made him feel some obstruction of his body's movements, as well as a feeling of "burning" on his skin!
Although there is still some distance before he can't bear it anymore, he can't really let himself reach the point where he can't bear it anymore and then think about leaving.

Immediately, Chen Qing took a step forward under the high pressure, and then with the huge force, his whole body turned into an afterimage and suddenly rushed towards the direction of the iron gate that he had determined before!

"Boom!!!"

There was a loud bang and it exploded!

The thick iron door was directly hit by Chen Qing, leaving a huge deformation groove, breaking the hinge and flying out from the door frame!
In an instant, a large amount of white steam gushed out from the "windows" on both sides of the high-pressure chamber door and the round hole on the door. At the same time, the sound of gas explosion caused by the high-pressure impact of the air also exploded in the entire corridor!
In a large amount of white steam, Chen Qing's figure flew out. After rolling on the ground for a few rounds, he half stood up, kneeling on one knee, with one hand supporting the ground and the other hand supporting his knee, breathing in the outside air with big gulps!
After breathing for a while and relieving the lack of oxygen inside, he followed the sensation coming from his body and looked towards one side of the corridor.

He saw Yue Suchun and Liu Yilin standing in the corridor about tens of meters away from him, looking at him from afar.

The gaze that he felt with his body came from Liu Yilin.

As for Yue Suchun's gaze, he could not sense it, which meant that the other party had undergone a "divine transformation".

"Brother, are you okay?"

About ten minutes later.

As the white steam in the high-pressure chamber poured out, no more white steam leaked out from the "windows" on both sides of the high-pressure chamber door, and Yue Suchun and Liu Yilin also walked over.

Liu Yilin looked at Chen Qing, who was still kneeling on one knee, and asked with concern.

"fine."

After hearing this, Chen Qing shook his head and stood up.

Yue Suchun walked straight to Chen Qing, stretched out her hand and put the back of her hand against Chen Qing's abdomen.

Seeing this, Chen Qing's heart moved slightly, but he did not stop it and let Yue Suchun put her hand on him.

After sticking his hand like this for a while, Yue Suchun withdrew his hand, nodded slightly and said: "Not bad, your Qi training has improved a lot compared to before. As long as you practice this three or four more times, you should be able to transform your Qi training."
