The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Grandpa Chen, didn't I tell you to wait for me to come back and cook? You're not feeling well, so you need to get some rest."

Zhou Chen hurried forward to support the old village chief. The old village chief was old and his health had never been very good. Over the past year or so, his health had been getting worse day by day.

The old village chief smiled and said, "I've rested too much, so I don't want to rest anymore. I just did some casual work, it's not very strenuous. Eat quickly, because you still have to practice after eating."

Having lived with Zhou Chen for more than a year, he had already regarded Zhou Chen as his own relative, and he also knew that Zhou Chen practiced martial arts every day.

He didn't know Zhou Chen's origins, but judging from Zhou Chen's behavior, he felt that Zhou Chen's origins must be extraordinary. After all, he had lived for so many years and had never seen many young men as peculiar and noble as Zhou Chen.

Although he felt that Zhou Chen had an extraordinary background, he didn't care. He was an old man in his twilight years, and a filial young man was born to him. He was so happy that he didn't have time to think about anything else.

He had lived alone for decades since the death of his son and wife. It was not until Zhou Chen had been with him for more than a year that he finally enjoyed the true joy of family.

He knew that he would not live long, so he enjoyed the company of others even more.

"Grandpa Chen, I heard that you handed over the position of village chief to Uncle Six?"

"Yes, I am old and not fit to be the village chief anymore. Xiao Liuzi is very good and responsible, and the people in the village respect him, so it is just right to entrust him with the job."

The old village chief has a kind face. He has been the village chief for more than 30 years and has deep feelings for Chenjia Village.

In the past, there were more than 20 households in Chenjia Village. At the most, there were more than 50 households. But later on, the number became fewer and fewer, and now there are only more than 20 households left.

Zhou Chen remained silent. He was full of respect for the old village chief who had devoted his entire life to the village. Not everyone would be trapped in this remote little village for the rest of his life, but the old village chief had lived on this land for more than sixty years, teaching the younger generations, managing the village, and contributing his entire life to the village.

"That's good too. You can take a good rest now."

"Maybe it's time to take a break."

The old village chief had a dazed look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking about, his face was filled with desolation.

Zhou Chen knew that he missed his wife and children. For many people, death is a relief. He saw this in the old village chief.

At night, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged in his room practicing martial arts. The wind was howling outside. He didn't know when the wind started to blow.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Third uncle, third uncle."

There was a knock on the door and a voice calling out from outside. Zhou Chen finished his training and got out of bed. The old village chief just happened to walk out of the inner room, so he hurried over to support him.

"Grandpa Chen, from the sound of it, it seems to be an urgent matter."

"It's Goudan's mother, go check what's going on."

When Zhou Chen heard that it was Goudan's mother, he immediately had some guesses in his mind, so he helped the old village chief out.

It was indeed Goudan’s mother, but there was not only her, there were three other women.

"Uncle, Goudan and his father went out to sea during the day and haven't come back yet. Suddenly there was such a strong wind at night. I'm worried that they will be in danger. Uncle, what do you think we should do?"

Several women looked anxious. Their men had gone out to sea with them and had not returned yet. They were so anxious that they couldn't even eat.

Fishermen who go out to sea to fish may encounter shipwreck if they are unlucky, and they don’t want their men to encounter the same situation.

The old village chief's expression changed slightly: "You haven't come back yet?"

Zhou Chen said at this time: "Grandpa Chen, Goudan came to see me when he went out to sea today. I told him that there might be heavy rain tonight or tomorrow, and asked him to tell Uncle Wangtian. If Uncle Wangtian can listen to me, he should not spend the night at sea."

When Goudan's mother heard this, she immediately asked excitedly: "Achen, have you really told Goudan?"

"I told you, let's put it this way, Grandpa Chen, the aunts, you all go back first, I'll go to the beach to check the situation."

When the old village chief heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Zhou Chen hurriedly stopped him: "No, Grandpa Chen, it's windy outside, I have martial arts skills, nothing will happen, you stay at home and wait for my news, don't go out, aunt, please help look after Grandpa Chen."

Goudan's mother nodded without hesitation and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Achen. I'll stay and take care of Third Uncle."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything more, nor did he put on more clothes. He ran to the beach against the wind.

"Xiaochen, be careful..."

Zhou Chen quickly arrived at the beach. At this time, there was already a strong sea breeze. Although it had not rained yet, it was estimated that a rainstorm would hit soon.

If Goudan and the others hadn't returned before the rainstorm hit, it would be really dangerous.

There were several young and middle-aged men from the village going out to sea this time. If anything happened to them, it would definitely be a huge blow to Chenjia Village.

Zhou Chen has lived in Chenjia Village for more than a year and is familiar with the villagers. Naturally, he doesn't want anything to happen to Goudan and the others.

I looked out to sea, but no matter how hard I looked, I could not see any ships.

"Uncle Wangtian is quite cautious. He should listen to what I say, right?"

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Zhou Chen's heart was getting heavier and heavier. Although strong winds did not mean that something would definitely happen, the probability of something happening was still very high.

Just as he was worried about Goudan and the others, he suddenly heard a slight roar in his ears, and then he saw a red light rising from somewhere in the distance.

"Was that noise just now the sound of a bomb exploding? And that red light, it should be fire. How far has this world developed that even bombs appear? No, it's not necessarily a bomb. It's probably a gunpowder detonator like a thunder bomb or a black cannon."

He guessed in his mind, but no matter which one it was, there must have been a big chaos in that place where the fire was.

I just don't know where that place is, but I'm sure it's not very far from here, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see it even if he was standing here.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw movement on the sea in the distance. Although it was dark, his eyesight was very good and he could see that it was a ship.

So he immediately rushed to the ferry on the coast, where there were already many fishing boats parked. These were boats of varying sizes and shapes used by nearby fishermen to catch fish.

After the ship docked, Zhou Chen saw Goudan and the others and was overjoyed. It seemed that they were lucky and returned in time.

Chapter 1072 Li Xiangyi, Mission Activated

The group of people returned to the village despite the wind and rain. Everyone carried their goods home, while Goudan and Goudan's father followed Zhou Chen to the old village head's house.

When Goudan's mother saw Goudan and his son, she rushed over excitedly and punched Chen Wangtian several times.

"Why did you come back just now? Why did you come back just now? Wow..."

Goudan's family made a fuss at the old village chief's house for a long time before returning home in the wind and rain. Before leaving, they left a lot of fish for Zhou Chen and his friends.

Zhou Chen asked the old village chief to take a rest, while he took a knife to gut the fish, leaving only a few fish with stronger vitality to feed with sea water.

After doing all this, I went outside again and looked in the direction where the fire had been. Maybe because of the rain, the fire had long gone out.

He was still thinking about what had just happened. He was really curious about what was happening there and wanted to go in that direction to take a look.

But after thinking it over carefully, he decided not to take any action. Before he mastered martial arts, he should be more cautious in doing things.

The rainstorm stopped in the early morning. Before dawn the next day, Zhou Chen got up and prepared dinner. Before he could call him, the old village chief had already woken up on his own.

After breakfast, when it was still dark, Zhou Chen set off for the beach, where he would practice martial arts every morning.

The sun slowly rose, and Zhou Chen felt the internal force in his dantian slowly increasing. He practiced the Pure Yang Technique with a calm mind. After practicing for several cycles, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

Internal energy does not need to be practiced all the time. The human body has its limit, both internally and externally. If you keep practicing without regard for the consequences, it will place a great burden on the body, which is not a good thing.

Just like exercising, you can’t keep exercising. When you reach your limit, you need to rest, otherwise you will only hurt your body.

The same principle applies to cultivating internal strength.

As for the internal energy techniques described in the novel that can be freely circulated while walking or lying down, he had never heard of them or encountered them before.

"Hey, what is that?"

He glanced around casually and suddenly stopped at the beach, where he saw something rushing out of the sea. From a distance, it looked like a person.

Although people often die in the sea, he has been practicing in this coastal area for more than a year, and this is the first time he has encountered a corpse washed up on the beach.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Chen jumped off the rock, landed steadily on the beach, and walked towards the "corpse".

When he got closer, he found that it was indeed a person. This person was lying on the beach with his back facing up. He was dressed in white. Although he was washed up from the sea, he did not become giant and still had the shape of an ordinary person.

Upon closer inspection, he was still a young boy with a pale face, but still looked very handsome.

But his body was covered with wounds, especially on the chest and abdomen, which looked like wounds left by a sharp weapon piercing the body. Even after being washed by sea water, his clothes were still stained with blood.

"Still alive, not dead."

Seeing the man's chest moving, Zhou Chen immediately squatted down, and probed under his nose. The breath was very weak. He grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse. The pulse was very strange. He was obviously seriously injured, but the pulse was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

"Sure enough, he's still alive, but his external injuries are severe, and his internal injuries are equally serious."

Adhering to the principle that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Zhou Chen helped the man sit up.

He had no medicine to treat the wound, so he could only use his own internal energy to try to heal the wound. He used his pure yang internal energy, placed his palm on the man's back, and directed his extremely yang internal energy toward the man's body.

But the next moment, his palm shook violently and left the other person's body as if by reflex.

"Such a strong inner force."

Just when his internal force entered the opponent's body, an extremely domineering and powerful internal force directly shook his palm away.

"Who is this person? How can he have such a strong inner strength?"

Zhou Chen could not hide the shock in his eyes, although it was only a brief contact, but he was sure that this person's internal strength level was far beyond his. Even if he had practiced the Pure Yang Technique to perfection, he might not be able to have such amazing internal strength.

Such amazing internal strength cultivation, and the ability to automatically fight back against external internal force while in a coma, all prove that this person is extraordinary.

Just as he was shocked, the man suddenly began to tremble all over and his brows furrowed, as if he was suffering from unspeakable pain.

He was surprised at first, but soon noticed something wrong with this man. He saw that the area around his neck turned black rapidly, especially the carotid artery, which turned purple and black. Even the veins on the back of his hands turned a strange purple and black color.

"Is this, poisoned?"

Although he seldom came into contact with poisons in the martial arts world, with his superb medical skills, it was not difficult for him to determine the abnormality of this person. This was a sign of poisoning, and the toxin had already penetrated deeply into the blood vessels, indicating that the poisoning was serious.

The combination of severe injuries, strong internal strength, and deep poisoning further proves that this unconscious young man is a member of the world, and his identity is by no means simple.

"interesting."

Zhou Chen placed the boy on the rock and leaned against it. Looking at the boy in front of him, Zhou Chen became interested. Perhaps he could know what the world was like from this boy's mouth.

"Hmm~"

Suddenly, the unconscious boy made a sound, his tightly furrowed brows trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes and saw a stranger standing in front of him, his face suddenly changed and he sat up abruptly. He wanted to move, but the severe pain in his body made him groan in pain and cover the wound on his chest.

"Don't get excited. I'm not your enemy. I saw you being washed up by the sea water just now, so I came over to help you up. You were seriously injured and poisoned. You're not in good condition."

Feeling the pain in his body, Li Xiangyi remembered his duel with Di Feisheng last night. His injuries were left from that time, but he couldn't remember when he was infected with the poison in his body.

With his internal strength, no one could poison him without him knowing.

He raised his head, looked at Zhou Chen, and thanked sincerely: "Thank you for saving me. The grace of saving my life will be unforgettable."

Zhou Chen said: "No need to thank me, you can wake up quickly even without me. If I am not mistaken, you should be a Jianghu person, right?"

Li Xiangyi bowed to Zhou Chen and introduced himself: "I am Li Xiangyi, the fourth doorman. Nice to meet you, brother."

"Li Xiangyi?"

Zhou Chen looked at Li Xiangyi in astonishment: "Are you the world's number one expert, Li Xiangyi?"

Li Xiangyi also knew that his name was very famous, so he was not surprised by Zhou Chen's astonishment. Zhou Chen saved him, and he was grateful in his heart, so he naturally would not hide it.

"Yes, I am Li Xiangyi."

Zhou Chen's mental strength was strong enough, but he was still a little surprised when he really saw Li Xiangyi. Li Xiangyi looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was already the best master in the world. He was truly a monstrous person.

At this time, he suddenly felt his system vibrate. He knew that there must be a change in the system, but he was not in a hurry to open the panel to see.

"So it's Master Li. My apologies. My name is Zhou Chen, and I'm a fisherman from a nearby fishing village."

"Fishermen?"

Now it was Li Xiangyi's turn to be surprised, because Zhou Chen's words, actions, appearance and temperament did not look like a fisherman at all.

And he also clearly saw that Zhou Chen was a good player with internal strength. Could such a person be just a fisherman?

"Brother Zhou, may I ask where is this place?"

"On the East China Sea border, the nearest town is Qingyan Town, and the nearest county is Linhai County."

Li Xiangyi murmured to himself: "Have I drifted that far?"

Then he endured the severe pain and stood up: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for saving me. I owe you a favor, but I have something important to do now, so it is inconvenient for me to stay for long. I will take my leave now."

With that said, he was ready to leave.

Zhou Chen frowned slightly and advised: "Master Li, you are seriously injured and poisoned. The most important thing now is to heal your wounds instead of wandering around."

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhou, but my business is very important and I must rush back to Sigumen as soon as possible."
