Yan Zheke's face turned pale, her eyes were slightly red, and she blurted out immediately:
"Maybe you have to cooperate with the practice of the exercises to see the effect!"
There are light teeth marks on her pink lips.
"...Maybe." Lou Cheng replied with a slightly erratic tone.
If the golden elixir hadn't changed and spread to the "whole body", then with the control of it after collecting the nine-character formulas, he could immediately "digest" it calmly and take it to the next level, but now, when the sequelae of backlash occur , I can't sense the "Golden Elixir" at all, let alone control and master it, but when I can control and master it, it is in a state of shrinking and rotating balance. If there is a slight change inside, it will disintegrate immediately, and I can't do any operation at all. .
The complete exercise that emerged due to the collection of the "nine-character formula" is the secret book of Master Longhu, which contains the missing parts of Ge Hui. During the process, the connection and control will be gradually deepened, and when they converge into the alchemy, the "relic" of the real dragon and tiger will be completely branded and incorporated into the system, and it will be truly owned by itself, and there will be no backlash. Alienation, holding on to strength has become an instinct, and it can no longer be reversed. Changing the path is just a dream.
The only hope is that there will be a breakthrough in the matter of combining cultivation and martial arts, but if George and others want to balance Chengdan, even if their potential has exploded, they have been reborn, and their bones have been replaced, it is absolutely impossible within a year, or even normal. Speaking of them, with their qualifications, they may not see hope in three to five years, and it is only natural that they will be wasted in ten or eight years.
As for those talented people, who would choose a path that currently belongs to start-ups and cannot see the future clearly
More importantly, even if the combination of cultivation and martial arts is indeed successful, it is not absolutely possible to solve one's own sequelae, and the probability of disappointment may be even greater!
While thinking, old man Shi came over and patted Lou Cheng on the shoulder:
"What are you doing with a mournful face? Back then, I knew the old man was dying, so I stayed calm!"
"Let's go, my teacher will lead you to meet a senior and let him take a look at it for you."
I didn't make a sad face! I'm not that vulnerable! At most, his expression was rather stiff... Lou Cheng subconsciously wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
Yan Zheke hurried to catch up, took the initiative to stretch out her slender and soft hand, held his palm firmly, and followed Old Man Shi side by side with him.
They left the base and were sent to the nearest military airport by special car. After several hours of trekking, they arrived at the imperial capital with gray sky.
After turning around in a car, they came to a quiet courtyard.
"Hey, you guys call me Old Senior Mei later." Old Man Shi put away his indecency rarely, and urged him very seriously.
"Mr. Mei? 'Grand Master' Mr. Mei?" Yan Zheke asked back in surprise, a bit of joy appeared in her dark and beautiful eyes.
Old Mei? The forbidden strongman that Keke mentioned? The only taboo powerhouse left in Huaguo? Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and hope was rekindled.
Old man Shi clicked his lower lip and nodded:
"Ok."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead and pushed the door open. There is no heavy guard here, just like a real street person.
But Lou Cheng noticed that it is January now, the severe winter is coming, and everything is withered, but in this courtyard, the green grass grows and the flowers bloom like brocade, as if the four seasons are reversed.
"They are all common varieties that are not resistant to cold..." Yan Zheke said.
Just as Lou Cheng was about to respond, he saw the figure beside the stone table in front of him. He was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, his silver hair was slightly black, and he was standing neatly back. The cup is filled with a fragrant brown-yellow liquid.
The old man's eyebrows are very long, almost protruding from his face. His facial features are ordinary, as if they can be seen everywhere, only in the depths of his eyes, it seems that there is another world hidden, the same courtyard, the same layout, but there are no flowers or grass, Boundless and lonely.
"Old Mei, this is my unworthy disciple Lou Cheng, this is the granddaughter of the old man Zhaiji in Shushan, surnamed Yan, girl Yan." Comrade Shi Jianguo said with the courtesy of a junior.
From his appearance alone, he is much more vicissitudes than Old Mei!
"There are talents from all over the world, two children, sit down." Mei Lao pointed to the stone bench opposite, with a gentle smile, without any disdain.
"Xie Mei, senior." Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke saluted solemnly and sat down respectively.
"Hand." Mei Lao smiled and looked at Lou Cheng.
Lou Cheng stretched out his left hand and put it on the stone table.
Mei Lao stretched out his palm, placed an index finger on his vein gate, half closed his eyes, as if in deep thought.
But Lou Cheng felt as if his body was being blown by the spring breeze, and it was indescribably comfortable, even the surging "burn" seemed not so uncomfortable.
After a while, under the expectant eyes of Old Man Shi and Yan Zheke, Old Mei opened his eyes, took a deep look at Lou Cheng, and said slowly:
"External forces are useless, only rely on yourself."
"Yes, senior." Lou Cheng felt that the smile he squeezed out was so bitter, while the eyes of Yan Zheke and old man Shi gradually dimmed, and they fell into silence again.
Mr. Mei stopped talking, picked up the teacup, took a sip from the lid, and showed off the guests. The three of Lou Cheng walked out of the courtyard without a word, boarded the car, and let the driver drive forward without a purpose.
After a while, old man Shi coughed twice and said:
"Mr. Mei is not a doctor, so don't pay too much attention to what he said, and you still have hope on your own, do you know what he said to the teacher? There is only one word, 'delay'!"
"Do you understand? Just hang your life, wait for God to open his eyes!"
Lou Cheng took a breath, and slowly exhaled:
"Master, I know, I have not given up."
After finishing speaking, he was silent for a short while, looked sideways at Yan Zheke, his eyes were restrained, and he spoke calmly:
"Even if, um, even if it's really not good, I've done a good job collecting data during this time, and I'll definitely be able to come up with my own style of play in the future. Even if I can't make it to the ring, I still have the power to protect myself..."
Having said that, he raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and said:
"Besides, with my abilities, I can earn a lot of money by opening a martial arts gym. Maybe I can develop into the 'women's beauty class' and 'women's health care class'."
"En!" Yan Zheke nodded heavily.
She stretched out her right hand, held Lou Cheng's left palm, and interlocked his fingers tightly.
...
A few days later, when Yan Zheke was already engaged in intense and busy study in Cannes, Lou Cheng stayed at home with nothing to do, except for exercising and communicating, often in a daze.
At around ten o'clock this morning, he suddenly received a text message from the bank:
"At 10:25 on January 15, your savings card account ending in XXXX transfers income in RMB, current balance in RMB..."
This is the monthly salary given by the Dragon Tiger Club. Because it is the end of the year, the difference of 400,000 yuan will be made up, a total of 1.2 million yuan. Adding the original, it is already over 8 million yuan. Because of the large balance, the bank has been looking for him to do various business. , but they were all pushed away by him who didn't want to see outsiders for the time being.
Looking at this large series of numbers, Lou Cheng was inexplicably silent. After ten minutes, he sent a message to Yan Zheke:
"Keke, I want to terminate the contract with Longhu..."
"Ah? Why?" Yan Zheke "looked blank".
Lou Cheng's fingers paused for a moment, then pressed and said:
"I always feel indebted to the dragon and tiger. I didn't do anything for them. Instead, I received a lot of favors. Now I still receive so much salary every month. Well, I deserve it. I can save them a little. I have hands and feet, and I have a lot of savings now, so I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find something with a good income... If I recover in the future, I will sign a new contract."
"No one can say for sure about things like accidents, you have to bear the risk..." Yan Zheke replied after a moment of pondering, "Since you feel uneasy, then go ahead and do it."
"Okay." Lou Cheng lowered his head, looking at the dragon and tiger club navy blue martial arts uniform that he had bought for several years, his eyes lost focus for a moment.
After a while, he called up the address book, found the number of "Dragon King", and called.
After listening to the bell for more than ten seconds, Chen Qitao's majestic voice sounded:
"Hey?"
"Senior, I really troubled you about the 'column' formula before. This junior has always kept it in my heart, and I am very grateful." Lou Cheng thanked you first.
"It's a trivial matter." The Dragon King replied in a calm tone.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, Lou Cheng calmed down and said:
"Senior, I want to terminate the contract with Longhu."
"Why?" Dragon King asked concisely.
"The younger generation doesn't know when it will be better, so I keep taking the money from Dragon and Tiger for nothing, and I feel very guilty and burdened." Lou Cheng was afraid that the Dragon King would reject him, so he had already planned his words, "I want to use my best state to gain that glimmer of hope. "
"The word "Warrior" is not insulting." Chen Qitao commented briefly, "Let your lawyer contact the club."
Before Lou Cheng could speak again, he said majesticly:
"The one you got before is considered accidental compensation, so you don't have to think about returning it. When you're better, come over and sign the contract."
"Yes, senior." Lou Cheng only felt a little more relaxed.
...
Three days later, on Monday night, while Yan Zheke was sorting out the report and chatting with Lou Cheng, she suddenly received a message from "Dirty Tong" Li Liantong:
"Keke, what's wrong with your guy? Weibo is blown up!"
"What's the situation?" Yan Zheke was at a loss, clicked on A casually, swiped through it, and found one hot topic after another related to Lou Cheng:
"Suddenly! The insiders of the Martial Arts Association have confirmed that the Dragon Tiger Club has canceled the registration contract with Lou Cheng!"
"Why did Longhu terminate the contract with Lou Cheng?"
"A generation of Tianjiao has fallen?"
"Lou Cheng's problem is more serious than expected?"
"Is it a serious injury that cannot be healed, or is there no potential anymore?"
"Rising like a meteor, falling like a meteor?"
"The 'Foreign Affairs Team' of the Dragon Tiger Club replied 'it's not convenient to say more', only revealing that it was Lou Cheng's initiative, not to take advantage of Dragon and Tiger."
…
The news exploded and shocked the world. No one expected that things would deteriorate to such an extent.
...
At this moment, Lou Cheng also received greetings from many friends and "harassing" calls from reporters, and found out about the spread of the matter.
He subconsciously clicked on his own forum, and saw a scene of chaos:
"What should I do? I'm so panicked!"
"Little Changye, little Changye, hurry up and ask my senior sister, what happened to the idol?"
"55555, senior sister didn't reply to me..."
"How could this be, how could this be..."
"What happened? Lou Cheng's injury is so serious? Can't even stay in the reserve group?"
…
Concern, worry, surprise, sadness and other emotions expressed through the text, Lou Cheng stared blankly, and received Yan Zheke's overseas call.
"Chengzi, don't pay attention to those reporters, they all like to scare people, and they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" The girl eagerly comforted.
Lou Cheng clenched his fist with his right hand and punched his mouth:
"Keke, I know, don't worry."
He took a breath and said:
"I plan to post a Weibo to give everyone an explanation."
"No need!" Yan Zheke hurriedly stopped.
How cruel it is for Chengzi to tear open his own wound, show it bloody to everyone, throw away the pride in his heart, and admit that he is weak!
Her thoughts turned sharply, and her eyes looked up: "I'll just tell you in private, and you don't need to explain!"
Lou Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"I can see that they like it sincerely. At this time, I don't want to live up to this feeling...I don't want to even explain to them. This may be the only thing I can do for them now..."
Feeling that Chengzi's heart is very firm, Yan Zheke was silent for a while:
"Okay, then, then you should be a little more tactful."
"En." Lou Cheng hung up the phone, clicked on Weibo, lowered his eyes, typed and deleted in the blank box, deleted and typed again.
A few minutes later, everyone saw his response:
"Although, although I really don't want to admit it, I still have to admit that maybe, maybe it will be a long time before I come back, maybe I can only say goodbye."
After clicking "Send", Lou Cheng leaned back softly, leaning against the back of the sofa as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Then his eyes closed, cutting off the light and seeing the darkness.
...
In Cannes, USA, Yan Zheke, who posted this new Weibo, suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes were silently dripping with crystal water. 8)
