Xu Shu secretly said, "You are really good at knowing things, but you have extraordinary attributes."
But he said, "I'm just about to ask my senior for advice."
Chen Tailei shook his cattail leaf fan and said, "Come on."
He quickly stepped back, a step or so away. Xu Shu pounced wildly, with his fingers flying like flying, and he continuously hit many of Chen Tailei's key points, but to no avail.
The two chased each other for half an hour. Chen Tailei suddenly waved his fan and knocked Xu Shu back more than ten steps, with a solemn look on his face.
"I let my senior down."
Xu Shu cupped his hands with a dejected look on his face.
"I'm so disappointed!"
Chen Tailei looked up to the sky and sighed, "There is a monster like you in the world. Are you born to kill us?"
Xu Shu was startled, "Senior, what do you mean by this? I clearly didn't stop you even once."
In the secret prison, he was almost invincible against those Level 1 and Level 2 physical warriors.
He thought he was done, but he didn't expect that against Chen Tailei, it would not have the slightest effect.
Chen Tailei laughed dumbly, "I am also a fourth-level internal master after all. If I were to control your jade-finger brushing acupuncture point, people would laugh out loud.
Just now you and I fought, and there was nothing wrong with you. Your ability to listen to blood and identify pulses was so accurate that even I had to admit it.
Do you know why you can't control me?"
Xu Shu thought for a moment and suddenly raised his head, "But am I too slow?"
Chen Tailei nodded, "That's right. You listen to the blood and identify the pulse, no matter how accurate it is, but you are always a step behind me, miss a step, and the blood rushes to other places. No matter how accurate you are in identifying the acupoints, it is useless.
This is an absolute gap in strength between you and me, and it is difficult to make up for it."
Xu Shu thought thoughtfully, "If senior sits still and I suddenly attack with a sneak attack, might I be successful?"
Chen Tailei smiled and said, "You can succeed if you can, but it's useless. My energy and blood are as solid as lead, and they are rushing like a river.
Your ability to lock acupuncture points is so amazing that you have built a ridge inside my body.
Once a river surges, nothing can stop it.
Unless one day, no matter how strong your energy and blood is, you can seal eight of my vital points at once, then the fields will turn into embankments, and I can only do nothing. Work hard, young man."
Xu Shu frowned, "Is it possible that jade finger brushing on the acupuncture points is effective for the third-level foreign masters?"
The secret prison does not have a third-level external master, so Xu Shu cannot conduct the trial.
Chen Tailei said, "A third-level grandmaster of the outside world, once your jade finger brushes his acupoints, he can open the acupoints in an instant.
But in this instant, you have room to make a big fuss.
You can quickly move your fingers and seal eight of his key points in a row to capture him completely.
Why is your kid always studying how to deal with the third-level grandmaster, but with whom do you have a grudge?
If it cannot be resolved, I will post it for you, submit it, and keep it for you to eliminate the disaster immediately."
The more he looked at Xu Shu, the more he liked him. Such a talented warrior would have an unlimited future. If we don't get along now, how long will it take?
Xu Shu thanked Chen Tailei, "This junior is not going to deal with the enemies of the third level, but is about to go on a long adventure and is afraid of encountering a strong enemy.
That’s why I came to my senior to ask for the secret method of brushing the acupoint with jade fingers.”
"You want to go to Treasure Island?"
Chen Tailei's eyes widened.
Xu Shu said, "Senior also knows the death route. Could it be that he also wants to go there?"
Chen Tailei waved his hand and said, "The Death Route is a real journey of death. I still have a lot of good time, so I can't think of going there to seek death."
Besides, aren't you living a pretty good life? Why do you want to take this shortcut?"
Without waiting for Xu Shu's reply, Chen Tailei said with a smile, "That's right. It's not necessarily wrong for young people to have their own ambition and fight to the death to find a future.
When I reach my age, I am so depressed that even if I have the will, I have no courage left."
Xu Shu said, "With your ability, is it dangerous to explore Treasure Island?"
Chen Tailei said, "The vast sea area has high winds and rough waves. It's not like I didn't organize a large army to go there before. Even the army couldn't suppress it. Personal strength is nothing in the face of the unpredictable power of heaven and earth.
However, that does not mean that there is no hope at all. Aren't there still many survivors who have had a chance? One part destiny, one part hard work.
If you really want to go, I think your chances of winning are higher than others."
"Why is this?"
"Because you are smarter than others. Don't underestimate your intelligence. At critical moments, this thing can save your life better than force."
"Then I'll take my senior's good advice. I'd like to ask, senior, with my current combat power, what are my chances of winning against a third-level grandmaster?"
This is an issue that Xu Shu has always been concerned about.
Before being catalyzed by Ma Bo's half-bone gallbladder, he was already able to defeat Chen Yanzong, who had just entered the second level of martial arts.
Now that his Qi and blood have grown to the peak of the martial arts realm, coupled with his Wuji Hand and Jade Finger acupuncture skills, he has the ambition to compete with the grandmaster of his family.
Chen Tailei was startled and said, "It seems that your trip is going to make big news. That's all. I'll give you some extra protection."
"This junior only brought these three thousand taels of silver notes."
Xu Shu looked bitter.
Chen Tailei raised his eyebrows, "Who are you scolding? It seems that I value money more.
I have a set of daily footwork, which is very mysterious.
To be honest, after you learn Wujishou, you are no longer inferior to other masters in using your strength.
But in terms of body skills, there is still a lot of shortcomings. If I can make up for this daily routine..."
Xu Shu rushed to answer, "Can I defeat the grandmaster of my family?"
"dream!"
Chen Tailei said, "However, with your quality and talent, you may not have the ability to give it a try. It's better not to be distracted and quickly practice Tian Changbu."
"Thank you, senior!"
Xu Shu sincerely thanked him.
He is already very satisfied with the ability to fight.
Because he still has a key trick: he doesn't have enough force or firearms to make up for it.
"If you sincerely thank me, when you come back from Treasure Island, if you have anything you want to sell overseas, you can come to me first and ask for a price. How about that?"
This request is not too much. Xu Shu clasped his fists and said, "It's a deal."
Chen Tailei said, "This talented Tian Chang Bu is taken from Tian Chang's algorithm. Tian Chang's nature is natural. It is very mysterious to use mathematics to enter the Tao.
I have only understood three or four points, and I have taught you enough. Just listen carefully and watch carefully..."
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Hundreds of bluestone bricks in the entire Bamboo Garden were covered with Xu Shu's footprints. If you look closely, you will see that the footprints are gathered into perfect circles, layer upon layer, uneven and uneven everywhere.
Not full anywhere.
This morning, Xu Shu finished his last Tianchang walk and Chen Tailei was already numb.
He thought that no matter how talented Xu Shu was in martial arts, Tian Chang Bu involved mathematics and physics. If he wanted to really get into it thoroughly, he had to study the "Three Calculations of Tian Chang".
Unexpectedly, this guy took the "Three Calculations of Heaven" booklet the morning before yesterday, glanced at it a few times, and asked Xiao Zhangzi to bring a lot of manuscript paper and pencils, and he lay down on the stone table of the pavilion to write and draw.
After that, I started practicing blindly.
After practicing, it became like this.
At first, Chen Tailei could still see the shadow of Tian Changbu he taught, but later, he could no longer understand it.
Xu Shu's body skills were completely different from those he taught.
If he hadn't clearly known Xu Shu's training process, Chen Tailei would have had to practice other techniques for him.
…………
It was early autumn, and the sweltering heat was still lingering. Xu Shu wore a beach suit, thick-soled sneakers, sunglasses, and a backpack, and rushed to Qianhai Pier early in the morning.
It's not yet seven o'clock, and the riverside avenue is already a busy scene.
More than ten cargo ships have newly docked, and thousands of porters have not even bothered to have breakfast. They all wear only a pair of shorts, revealing their red and black muscular bodies, carrying boxes of goods, and go back and forth between the cargo ships and the docks.
A large number of breakfast vendors, supporting mobile stalls, formed long queues at the viewing area along the river.
Xu Shu was attracted by the amazing aroma emanating from a Chaos stall from afar. He ate three bowls of fresh meat wontons in a row to complete the Five Zang Temple.
Immediately, he went to a coffee shop on Wangjiang Terrace. A glass of ice water was brought to him, and an unshaven man pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down.
"Sorry, there is someone here."
Xu Shu was waiting for Li Junhai. The evening before yesterday, Li Junhai called him and said that the ticket was processed and the ship would leave today.
"Brother Xu, it's me."
Only the rough man spoke.
Xu Shu stood up in shock, "You, are you the sixth child?"
The rough man nodded.
"Why do you look like this?"
In Xu Shu's impression, Li Junhai was gentle and steady, with the air of a powerful man in the world.
The rough man in front of me has a chicken coop on his head, a beard that is almost as long as his hair, a dark complexion, and sunburns on his shoulders and arms.
The whole person was not out of character in the team of porters. If his voice hadn't changed, Xu Shu would not have believed that the rough guy in front of him was Li Junhai.
"Where did you come from? You can come here, go, go, go..."
Just as Li Junhai was about to sit down, the waiter came to chase him away.
Li Junhai left quickly, and Xu Shu had no choice but to follow. The two of them walked around to the side of Wangjiang Terrace. No one was around. Li Junhai said, "I have been carrying bags on the pier for the past half month, and I have been exposed to the sun and rain.
When you get old, you sin just to change your appearance."
Xu Shu instantly understood that going to Treasure Island was dangerous, but if he returned by luck and was remembered by someone who cared about him, it might not be troublesome.
He also considered this, so he got some sunglasses. He didn't expect Li Junhai to be so good at it.
Xu Shu said, "Are the tickets for this death flight still popular?"
Duan Kuohai said, "Of course it is hot, and the death route is dangerous, but there is nothing more terrifying than poverty in this world. There are gamblers who want to win and get ahead. The last time Li boarded the ship, it was like this
kind of psychology.
In addition, the possible presence of Source Fruit and Source Leaves on Treasure Island is enough to seduce those extraordinary strong men who regard licking blood with the tip of a knife as their own leisure.
Put the two together, this person can’t do anything without thinking too much.”
The two chatted for a while, then a passionate whistle sounded, and from a distance they saw a long queue on the docking platform of an old steamship.
Li Junhai hurriedly called Xu Shu over, and half an hour later, the two boarded the Lucky Number.
With a displacement of 3,000 tons, this ship is quite big.
Xu Shu leaned on the railing and rubbed it gently, and a piece of green paint came off, and the peeling areas were stained with rust.
"The paint hasn't even dried yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xu Shu felt a shadow cast over his heart, feeling that this sea journey would definitely not be comfortable.
Li Junhai whispered, "By taking the death route, the shipping company probably has no hope that the ship will return again. It must have picked a scrapped ship, simply repaired it, and then put it out for money.
There’s no room number listed on the ferry ticket, so I guess it’ll be good if I can get a Datongbu accommodation.”
"Then I'd better find a clean place to stay on the deck and wait until the storm breaks out."
With that said, Xu Shu climbed to the second floor observation deck and found a corner that could barely accommodate one person lying down.
Not long after waiting, the whistle blew, and the hull of the ship shook for a while, then pushed away from the coastline and floated away.
