Throughout July, Chen Chuan was training step by step. As his mastery of Da Sanshou gradually deepened, he became more and more comfortable in using various techniques.

Now even without using his "second self" or wearing any protective gear, he can still beat Lu Qian.

This is also because the advantages of the breathing method are indeed great, and it improves physical fitness in all aspects, otherwise Yu Gang would not call it a shortcut.

If compared with those students who have been training since childhood, they cannot be his opponents. This is also normal. If there is no "second self", this will be at the cost of his own life and overdrawing his future potential.

And under normal circumstances, such an exchange would not be equitable, because after these students also master the breathing method, this advantage will no longer exist, and the gap will be widened again.

In late July, Chen Chuan received a notice from Wuyi University and went there again.

This time I did not enter the school, but I just picked up a brochure at the door, which contained some specific matters that students who are about to enter need to know, as well as the re-examination registration process.

Next, in addition to his own training, he is also preparing for school and will go back a little earlier every day.

That day, he was running back from the boxing house. When he passed by a shed, in a three-story building on the side of the road, there were several men standing behind the open window smoking cigarettes and looking at him with unkind eyes.

A shadow of his past.

One of them, a short man wearing an open-breasted plaid shirt and a gold watch, pointed with his hand and said, "Brother Qi, that's the kid."

"Brother Qi" is a man in his twenties or eighties with a shaved head and a bracelet on his thick arm. He looked down and said, "Are you sure? Is this the kid?"

"That's right, Brother Qi. He went to Wuhan University a few days ago and recognized it then. He was the one who embarrassed Brother Shan!"

Brother Qi said: "Have you found a place?"

The flowery shirt leaned out, pointed to the intersection ahead, and said, "The alley in front of you will be blocked at both ends, so people can't escape."

"He will definitely leave from there? Don't let me lose the chain."

"Don't worry, brother, we've been keeping an eye on him for five or six days. This kid passes by here every morning and evening, and the time is right. Brother, let's do it tomorrow? How should we teach him a lesson?"

Brother Qi sneered and said: "Tomorrow, won't it be easier for him? Shouldn't he go to Wuhan University at the beginning of August? Let's do it at the end of the month. Since we kicked Lao San in the face, let's break both of his legs.

, not too much, right?”

Flower Shirt hurriedly said: "Not too much! Not too much!"

Brother Qi said: "Then leave it to you."

"Don't worry, brother, it will be handled properly."

The time soon came to the last day of July. Yu Gang seemed to have something to do and went out after lunch. Chen Chuan did not continue training in the afternoon because of tomorrow's matters, but helped Lu Qian pack some things.

.

After finishing the work, Lu Ke took Chen Chuan to the rooftop, where there were tables, lounge chairs and an awning. There were several bottles of Shazhen soda in the drink basket next to it.

Lu Ke walked over and picked up two bottles of soda, opened it, handed one to Chen Chuan, and said: "We should drink less when practicing fighting, so I'll make up for it with soda. You're going to Wuhan University tomorrow. I

Here’s a toast to you.”

Chen Chuan touched him with a soda bottle and took a sip before the two of them sat down. Lu Ke exhaled and looked at the long white clouds in the sky and said, "Brother Chen, I have been targeting you since you came here.

You, you must really dislike me, right?"

Chen Chuanchuan: "It's hard to say that everyone has their own reasons for doing things, but I want to say that as long as you don't regret it, other people's opinions are actually not that important."

Lu Ke paused for a moment, then put the soda bottle to his mouth, took a few sips, wiped it with the back of his hand, put the soda bottle on the table, pointed to the northeast, "See that way over there

What? Jiaoshan."

Chen Chuan looked over and saw a huge ring-shaped gray shadow there, which was Jiaoshan. It was said that it was a relic of a previous era, but now it has become an endless garbage dump.

Lu Ke looked there and said in a daze: "I was born in the Jiaoshan Mountain area. I can't compare with the people in your city. I don't have the qualifications to go to school in the city. The people there can only make a living by picking up garbage in the mountains.

"

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I heard that most people living in Jiaoshan will suffer from an incurable lung disease?"

Lu Ke whispered: "You're right, I am. Almost everyone around me and my family also have this disease. My father disappeared when I was very young, my mother has been paralyzed in bed all year round, and I am only three or four years old."

I often coughed when I was 18 years old. Only my sister was lucky enough not to suffer from it. She is about ten years older than me. As long as I can remember, my sister has been taking care of the whole family.

Just six years ago, it was said that the village picked up something very important to the big shots. Someone wanted to hold it in their hands and sell it for a big price. But the village was too poor, but how could those gangs negotiate the price with us? That day

At night, I rushed to the village to search and rob, and had conflicts with the villagers, because my sister happened to be collecting garbage and was innocently implicated and became disabled."

As he spoke, he wiped his eyes with his arm, "Later, I followed the master and practiced boxing with him. I just wanted to make money to take them out and let them live a good life."

He took another sip of soda and said, "I couldn't beat Ding Shuo that day, not just because I didn't take medicine, but because I was afraid. I was afraid that I would get hurt. Now my sister and my mother are counting on me.

So nothing should happen to me! That day, Master asked me to try the breathing method, and I stopped halfway because I was afraid..."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Chen Chuan with complicated eyes: "I'm really envious of you. You can study in the city. You don't have to bear these burdens. You can go to Wuhan University. When I saw you, I was thinking,

Why can’t I have such a life? Why can’t I be the one who passes the Wuhan University..."

"Chen Chuan!"

His voice suddenly became louder, he wiped his face hard, raised the bottle, his eyes were a little red, "I respect you, I hope you can stand firm in Wuhan University, you can't be worse than me!"

Chen Chuan silently picked up the bottle, touched it hard with him, and took a sip.

Lu Ke drank the entire bottle of soda in one breath, then raised his hand, as if he wanted to use the emotion in his chest to smash the bottle, but thinking that he could make some money by recycling it, he put his hand down again and carefully placed it on the table.

.

After venting, he seemed to have recovered a little. After a while, he said: "You have made such rapid progress after practicing the breathing method. It seems that the breathing method is really useful. I must practice it, but I don't dare to do it like you."

If you work so hard, you can only take your time."

Chen Chuanchuan: "It's okay to slow down. You are still a 'half-step breather' now."

"Ahem." Lu Ke coughed twice, and then he laughed. He stood up from the ground, "Here, let me teach you something."

When Chen Chuan saw him walking to the fence on the roof of the building, he got up and walked over. Lu Ke pointed, "Did you see that there?"

Chen Chuan looked over and saw two sparrows standing on the telephone pole. The visual distance was about 14 to 5 meters. Lu Ke flicked his wrist and one of the birds suddenly fell down, while the other was frightened and flew away.

.

Chen Chuan couldn't help being surprised and asked: "This is..."

Lu Ke opened his palm and held two fine pebbles in it, the size of the belly of his finger, polished to a very smooth shape.

When Chen Chuan saw this thing, his heart skipped a beat.

"Throwing method."

Lu Ke made a throwing motion and said: "With a distance of more than ten or twenty meters, you can kill or injure your opponent with simply polished stones. I heard from the master that due to certain restrictions, this skill

We won’t teach it at the Wushu University, but it’s very useful. If you practice it well, even someone with much higher strength than you will be able to incapacitate him from a long distance.”

Chen Chuan couldn't help but nod. He understood this deeply. His predecessor was fatally struck by a stone, but it was hard to judge the distance. It felt like it was hundreds of meters away, maybe even further.

Lu Ke threw the pebbles and said, "I can teach you. This thing mainly lies in the secret of exerting force. Once you have learned the breathing method, it should be easy to learn."

Chen Chuan asked: "This is what Mr. Yu taught you, right? Can you teach it to others?"

Lu Yan said indifferently: "This is just the simplest throwing method. I haven't mastered any more advanced ones. I can't teach it even if I want to."

Chen Chuan looked at him and asked: "How many people throw this kind of puja?"

Lu Ke thought for a while and said: "Master never said this, but ordinary people want to master it as long as they work hard and practice hard. It is not difficult, but it is not easy to reach advanced levels. Come on, let me tell you

How to throw it away."

Chen Chuan saw that he was very enthusiastic and unceremonious, so he followed him to learn from him. It was always good to have more skills, and he did have reason to get to know him.

This throwing method is indeed not very difficult, because it mainly depends on the posture of the hand and the secret of exerting force, so it is very easy to get started, but if you want to be accurate and fast, you need to continue to hone it in depth.

Another key factor here is the stones, which are preferably polished and neither light nor heavy. According to Lu Ke, there are many such stones in Zhangshan Mountain, which is where good stones are produced.

When Chen Chuan heard this, his heart was moved. He had some doubts that the stone was the Zhangshan Stone. In this case, he would have to find this time to take a look. Maybe he could also use this to find clues about the black hand that caused his predecessor's death.

After practicing with Lu Ke for a while, because tomorrow is the entrance day and the registration time for the re-examination, I said goodbye to Lu Ke and left. Before I left, I asked for two pebbles and put them in my pocket.

He still maintained his usual habit of running back.

And in the long alley he passed every day, in a temporarily rented room on the third floor, Brother Qi and the man in the flowered shirt were waiting there.

Brother Qi asked: "Have you greeted everyone?"

"Brother Qi, everything is fine."

Brother Qi looked into the distance. There was a man standing with his back against the wall at the corner of the street. He was wearing an undershirt and overalls. His face was unfamiliar. He asked, "Who is that?"

The man in the flowered shirt said: "Brother Qi, that is a foreign player with no criminal record that we paid for. Brother, I thought, since that kid has been admitted to Wuhan University, he probably has some skills. It is safer to have such a person."

"fart."

Brother Qi said contemptuously: "He's not a son of the rich people above. What ability did he have before he entered school? But forget it after he comes here. Let's see if he is worth it."

At this time, he took out a cigarette. His patterned shirt was very interesting. He immediately took out a lighter and lit it. He took a puff, blew out a smoke ring, and said: "The matter is over, call the brothers who are watching, and let's go to spring together."

Give Fu Lou a good rub."

The flower shirt said: "Okay, okay, let me thank Brother Qi on behalf of the brothers." He then looked at his watch, then looked into the distance, and said excitedly: "Brother Qi, people are here, it's a little early today.

.”

Chen Chuan ran into the long alley according to his usual route. This section of the road was relatively flat, so he would usually speed up a little.

But this time when he was in the middle of the run, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw five or six people holding water pipes in the opposite alley walking over with malicious intent, with playful and sinister expressions on their faces.

After he saw it, he immediately stopped and looked back as if aware, and found that the place he came from was also blocked by many figures.

People on both sides were slowly walking towards him, and at the same time they were beating and scratching the wall with the water pipes at hand, making a harsh sound, as if to increase pressure on him.

At the same time, in a building somewhere, the young man was doing handstand push-ups. He also saw this scene, "Hey? This guy has provoked someone?"

Brother Qi held a cigarette in his mouth and looked downstairs with disdain. From his position, he could clearly see the hands of people on both sides slowly approaching.

Chen Chuan looked up and saw that there were dilapidated walls on both sides of the long alley, covered with broken glass and debris. It was not easy to climb up, and it would cause trouble for others if they entered residential houses.

If you can't leave, then don't leave.

He unbuttoned his chest to reveal the white shirt underneath, took it off and threw the coat far away to the side.

When the clothes were still in the air, he stepped on them, and he and I instantly became one. A burst of smoke and dust rose from the ground, and the whole person jumped forward!
