Chapter 1 Rebirth
August 2022, 8, it’s sunny today.

There were people doing morning exercises in the community early in the morning. Looking quietly, I saw a man in his thirties with a sharp face, light bronze skin, and short hair. He exuded a strong masculine aura.

"Hey ha~ Hey ha~ Hey ha!" Gu Qingcheng was boxing, each move was full of power and the angles were also very tricky.

"Bajiquan!"

After the military boxing, it was time for a set of Baji moves. “With Tai Chi in culture, the world is at peace; with Baji in martial arts, the fate of the universe is determined.”

Bajiquan is a Chinese martial art. "Baji" means that the power can reach far away places in all directions. Its movements are simple and concise, fierce and crisp, and it often uses shaking feet to generate power.

This boxing method uses the head and feet as the heaven and earth, shoulders, knees, elbows and hips as the four directions, arms facing each other front and back, and Dantian in the center as the meaning of creation. Leading Qi with mind, destroying force with Qi, the three plates and six points are integrated inside and outside, with magnificent momentum, and the whole body is the eyes and hands when exerting force in all directions. When moving, it changes, when changing, it transforms, and when transforming, it is agile, and its wonders are endless.

Bajiquan pays great attention to the practice of attack and defense techniques. In terms of usage, it emphasizes "touching, shouldering, squeezing, and leaning", taking advantage of every opportunity, drilling into every gap, not attacking or defending, and countering every attack.

Gu Qingcheng's boxing skills were inherited from an old martial artist named Lin Quan. When he was fifteen years old, he was accepted as Lin Quan's last disciple. Lin Quan passed away three years ago, and Gu Qingcheng took a leave to pay his respects.

At the same time, he gave his own internal martial arts technique, Changchun Gong, to Gu Qingcheng.

When Gu Qingcheng got Changchun Gong, he was very curious. He didn't expect that someone could actually practice internal skills. When his master passed it to him, as for Lin Quan's descendants, none of them practiced martial arts, but only knew how to be officials and do business.

The old martial arts master had no choice but to hand over the power to his youngest disciple, Gu Qingcheng, because most of his previous disciples were useless and one of them committed a crime and was eventually executed. When he met Gu Qingcheng in his later years, he saw that he had a strong character and good physique, so he finally accepted him as his successor.

Gu Qingcheng, who obtained the Changchun Gong, also cultivated a trace of Qi in the past three years, but it was very weak and could barely nourish the body and replenish Qi.

"Hoo-hoo, hey-ha, hey-ha!"

After performing the boxing moves for more than ten times in a row, Gu Qingcheng was sweating profusely. For an ordinary person, he would be exhausted after performing a set of boxing moves, but Gu Qingcheng performed it for more than ten times, which shows that his physical fitness is several times superior to that of ordinary people.

Half an hour later, Gu Qingcheng retracted his posture and took a deep breath. "Oh, not bad, every time is so refreshing. The sense of Qi in Changchun Gong is becoming more and more proficient. I will take a rest, take a shower, have breakfast, and it will be another beautiful day."

After a few minutes, Gu Qingcheng put on his glasses, took his clothes and returned home. He took a shower, then made some breakfast and ate it. He tidied his clothes. He was dressed in trendy work clothes and exuded a resolute aura. He put on black thin-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined. This change made Gu Qingcheng feel a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"This... why does it feel wrong? Forget it, if there is no other way, who likes to wear glasses."

"Clap!"

After closing the door, Gu Qingcheng went out. He wanted to take a good look around this bustling and lively city.

Gu Qingcheng wandered through the streets and alleys, passing through the bustling shops, looking at the tall buildings, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, "Time has really changed!"

On the glass of a high-rise building not far away, three workers were hanging in the air thirty floors above the ground, wiping the glass.

There were pedestrians coming and going right below him. Gu Qingcheng felt like cursing, "Working at such a high place, don't they fence off the area around the construction site?"

Just as Gu Qingcheng was stunned, a worker pressed the tool in his hand against the glass and rubbed it hard.

"Creak, creak, creak!"

I don't know if the glass clip was loose or what, but when the worker pushed hard on a corner of the glass, there was a loud click, and the glass shattered instantly. The worker was so scared that he forgot to call the people below.

Gu Qingcheng took a look and cursed inwardly: "Oh no, damn it, there is a little girl down there."

I saw a little girl standing below the place where the broken glass fell, holding a schoolbag. She was a primary school student who had just finished school. Her mother was shopping in the store next door.

Gu Qingcheng immediately ran over, and at a distance of more than 100 meters, he burst out with all his strength, knocked the little girl down in an instant before the glass hit the ground, and rolled twice to protect her under his body.

“Whirl…”

After successfully dodging the falling glass, just as he was about to stand up, a sharp piece of glass pierced his heart. Gu Qingcheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his clothes were soaked with blood, which dripped onto the little girl's face.

The little girl looked at you with horror as the sharp point of glass pierced through Gu Qingcheng's body, and blood dripped from the tip onto her face.

"Ding dong, ding dong..."

The ambulance arrived, and the nurses and doctors put Gu Qingcheng on a stretcher, put an oxygen mask on him, and quickly sent him to the nearest hospital in the city.

"Ding dong, ding dong..."

"Uncle, uncle, please don't die..."

As the medical staff evacuated, many reporters hurriedly reported: "Our station reported that around noon today, a man rescued a little girl, but unfortunately, the man's body was pierced by glass falling from a high altitude. He is now rushing to the hospital for treatment..."

Under the reporters' reports, the department in charge of this high-rise building was instantly brought to the top of the wave.

When netizens saw this behavior, they praised the man's behavior. They looked at the man who was pierced by the sharp edge of the glass, with his hands firmly on the ground to protect the little girl under him.

"I'm too old to watch these things, alas!"

"How can the glass of a high-rise building shatter so easily? It must be a shoddy construction. I demand that the state agencies conduct a thorough investigation!"

"What the original poster said is right. High-rise buildings are usually opened to the public only after they have passed inspections. This kind of thing is basically impossible to happen. It must be a shoddy construction."

"Tsk, you idiot upstairs, what do you know? This is obviously an accident."

"Asshole, what did you say? An accident. I think you are blind?"

There were a lot of comments on the Internet at once. Some people cried after watching the video, some people kept silent and did not care, and some people deliberately slandered.

Gu Qingcheng in the hospital heard his old boss say something to him in a daze:
"You guys get out!" This sentence seemed so heavy. Several people left one after another. The middle-aged man slowly said, "You bastard, how do you want me to explain to Yunrou? You didn't even go to see her during these days. Do you know..."

The man spoke his true feelings in this way. He is in his fifties and should have retired long ago, but he still persisted for a few years.

Yunrou is her granddaughter, and he treats Gu Qingcheng like his grandson, caring for him no less than Yunrou. Originally, he was planning to arrange a marriage for the two of them after he retires in March next year.

But Gu Qingcheng never knew Yunrou’s feelings and foolishly treated her as just a younger sister.

Not long after that, the man held a funeral for Gu Qingcheng. Looking at his sad granddaughter, he couldn't help feeling sad. Gu Qingcheng was an orphan with no relatives, and his only friend had also died.

……

After Gu Qingcheng saved the man, he felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred and his heart ached extremely.

The transparent body kept struggling in the chaos, and suddenly opened its eyes!
