A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 423 An Jin

A few months passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, winter has gone and spring has come, all things are reviving, and flowers are blooming.

After several months of practice and deduction, Lu Cheng has combined the two breathing methods into one according to his own situation. The practice knowledge is equivalent to practicing two breathing methods at the same time, which strengthens the internal organs and muscles and bones more comprehensively and thoroughly.

Just last month, Lu Cheng had connected up the tendons and bone membranes throughout his body. Using the spine in his body as a big dragon, he could adjust his body's center of gravity at will when exerting force, and a kind of qi-like power had been nurtured in his body.

Of course, this kind of qi is not the internal qi in martial arts novels, but the vital energy generated by the movement of organs, muscles, and bones in the body.

After feeling this vitality, Lu Cheng has been trying to capture this feeling, strengthen this energy and strength, and try to use it in offense.

One day, Lu Cheng felt something and found Wu Song to practice fighting with him.

Although Wu Song was no match for Lu Cheng, he was never afraid to fight him and often took the initiative to challenge him. Even if he was beaten black and blue, he was willing to do so.

It was also through this kind of training that Wu Song's martial arts improved rapidly.

However, this time, as soon as the two sides fought, Wu Song found something wrong. Lu Cheng's fists and palms would touch him, and he felt as if his hair stood on end, and he instinctively didn't want to touch Lu Cheng's fists and palms.

But Lu Cheng's moves were fast and fierce. Even though Wu Song tried his best, he was unable to dodge a few of his moves and was soon hit on the shoulder by a palm.

Even with that seemingly light palm strike, Wu Song felt as if countless fine needles pierced through Lu Cheng's palm and hit his shoulder, instantly rendering his entire arm powerless.

"Stop! Master, I give up."

Lu Cheng also stopped immediately and looked at Wu Song's shoulder, then immediately pressed Wu Song's pulse and diagnosed him. He soon found that the meridians and blood vessels on Wu Song's shoulder had suffered a certain degree of damage. If he didn't take good care of it, Wu Song's arm would be useless.

"Master, what kind of Kung Fu is this? Why have I never seen you use it before? Hiss, it's really uncomfortable to be hit by this."

"I just learned my kung fu and I can't use it very well yet. I didn't expect to hurt you. How do you feel now?"

"I felt as if my entire shoulder was pricked by countless fine needles. It was itchy and painful and very uncomfortable."

"Please wait a moment. I will treat you right away."

Lu Cheng immediately took out the medicine and silver needles, and first gave Wu Song a few injections to clear his meridians. Then he applied some medicine to clear his meridians and reconnect his blood vessels, and used massage techniques to promote the absorption of the medicine.

When Lu Cheng was done, Wu Song asked curiously, "Master, what kind of Kung Fu did you just use?"

"This is not really a Kung Fu, it's just a way of using strength. Perhaps, it can be called 'hidden strength'."

"What is dark power?"

"When we punch someone, the damage is obvious and can be seen at a glance. This is called Ming Jin. The so-called An Jin is to let the strength and energy in the body penetrate the body and penetrate the enemy's pores like a needle, causing damage to the muscles and bones under the skin. This kind of damage may not be visible on the surface, but the damage caused to the human body is extremely difficult to repair, and may even cause necrosis of muscles and bones in the human body."

"It is a real power. Can the owner teach me?"

"I have just touched this power and cannot fully control it yet. And even if you want to learn it, you need to practice the breathing method to a certain level."

Judging from the current practice, Lu Cheng speculated that the next path might be just like what is described in the novel "Dragon and Snake Romance". After Ming Jin and An Jin, there are Hua Jin, Dan Jin, Gang Jin, until the legendary "breaking the void and seeing the indestructible gods".

Of course, these are just Lu Cheng’s speculations and cannot be confirmed.

However, Lu Cheng felt that the Hua Jin in the novel was of great reference value. He could penetrate the whole body with strength and regulate the internal organs, allowing the power to reach the teeth, nails, tongue, and hair. The An Jin was spread throughout the body, making it so that not even a feather could be added and not even a mosquito or fly could land.

Lu Cheng was naturally very happy that he had cultivated the dark energy. He then devoted himself to his practice, trying to master the power of the dark energy.

One day, Lu Cheng finished his training and went out hunting with Tiger Liefeng. As soon as he returned to Lujia Manor, Lai Fu came to greet him and said, "Manor Master, two people came to our manor today, claiming to be your friends. One is Shi Jin from Huazhou, and the other is Lu Da from Weizhou."

"Are they here? Have they been neglectful?"

"Since he is the owner's friend, how dare we neglect him? He has already been arranged in the reception room and has been served tea and snacks."

Lu Cheng nodded and immediately walked into the reception room, where he saw Shi Jin and Lu Da sitting there waiting.

"My two brothers are coming, but they didn't even tell me in advance so that I could prepare in advance."

"Brother Lu, I came here in a hurry and had to bring Shi Jin along. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

"It's no trouble at all. Once you're here, just treat it as your own home. Lai Fu, ask the kitchen to prepare some wine and food. My two brothers, please wait for a moment. I'll go wash up."

Soon, Lu Cheng finished washing up, and the food and wine were already on the table. Lu Cheng raised his glass and said, "Two brothers, welcome to my Lu Family Manor."

"Brother Lu, you are too polite. We are here to seek refuge with you."

"Oh? But what kind of trouble did you encounter?"

Lu Da and Shi Jin looked at each other and asked, "You go first?"

Lu Da slapped his thigh and said, "Then I'll tell you first. A few years ago, I was drinking in Weizhou City and saw a bully molesting a decent woman. I went up to teach the bully a lesson. I didn't expect that the bully was the brother-in-law of the Weizhou prefect. For this reason, the Weizhou prefect found Xiaozhong Jinglüe and threatened him with money and grain to punish me.

The governor advised me to admit my mistakes to the prefect, but I couldn't stand his anger, so I just quit. I left Weizhou City and went to seek refuge with Shi Dalang. But I didn't expect that Shi Dalang also had bad luck. I'll let Dalang say the rest."

Shi Jin shook his head and said, "It's a long story. Years ago, I returned home and listened to Brother Lu's advice. I stopped associating with the bandits in Shaohua Mountain and even returned the gifts they gave me.

I didn't expect Zhu Wu to send me gifts again and again. I returned them every time and sent him a message to cut off contact with him. Unexpectedly, a nearby hunter discovered that the bandits from Shaohua Mountain came to my village and reported it to the government.

If I hadn't been on good terms with the county magistrates, and they had interceded for me, and I had used some money, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to explain myself. Later, I specially asked someone to check and found out that the hunter who informed the government had actually received money from Shaohuashan and was a spy for Shaohuashan!

I wanted to lead my men to Shaohua Mountain to confront Zhu Wu, but we were ambushed halfway up the mountain and lost some men. After this incident, I didn't want to stay there any longer. I wasn't good at running a farm, so I sold my property and prepared to come to Brother Lu. Brother Lu happened to come, so we went together."

"I see. It seems that those people on Shaohua Mountain have harmed Brother Shi. If I meet them again in the future, I will definitely stand up for Brother Shi."
