What a lucky world!

Chapter 23: Entering the martial arts!

"Hu-hu-"

Zhang Mu was breathing heavily.

He had a nightmare in which he was killed.

wrong!

Zhang Mu suddenly remembered that he was almost killed and it was Xuan Ji who saved him.

Xuan Ji!

Zhang Mu looked around and saw that he was in a clean and tidy small room. A stick of sandalwood was burning by the bed, and a piece of calligraphy with flying dragons and phoenixes hung on the wall. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open. Zhang Mu turned his head and saw a bald old man with deep wrinkles walking in with a bowl of soup in his hand.

When the bald old man saw Zhang Mu, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he opened his mouth and shouted "Ahhh".

It was only at this time that Zhang Mu noticed that the old man's tongue was shorter than that of a normal person, as if it had been cut off.

The old man handed the soup to Zhang Mu and made a "drink" gesture. Zhang Mu took the bowl of soup, smelled it, and it tasted like fish soup. After thinking about it, he picked up the bowl and drank it all.

When the old man saw Zhang Mu finish drinking the fish soup, the smile on his face became even brighter. He gestured to Zhang Mu to have a good rest, then turned and left the room.

Feeling that the bald old man had gone far away, Zhang Mu quietly got out of bed, pushed open the door of the room and walked out.

What surprised Zhang Mu was that when he walked out of the house, he actually entered a... Buddhist temple?
Zhang Mu looked at the Buddha statue in the middle of the hall. It seemed a little different from the Buddha statue in his memory from his previous life. The Buddha statue was carved entirely from stone, and a long-burning lamp in front of the Buddha was emitting wisps of green smoke.

"Squeak..." Suddenly, Zhang Mu heard a sound under his feet. He lowered his head and saw a mouse. The mouse was not afraid of Zhang Mu at all and gestured for him to move aside.

Zhang Mu raised an eyebrow and stepped aside. He saw the rat squeak twice more toward the lobby. Then, a group of rats came in, carrying all sorts of teacups and water cups. They were walking very carefully, trying not to spill the water. Each of these rats had a strip of cloth tied around its neck, looking rather comical.

When they reached the Buddha statue, the rats placed their water bowls and tea cups on the ground, then stood up, put their front paws together, and bowed to the Buddha statue. Then they untied the cloth strips around their necks, rinsed the water in the tea bowls and cups, and then bit them with their teeth and climbed onto the Buddha platform in an orderly manner.

Zhang Mu saw these rats bypass the plate of fruit offerings and rush directly to the stone statue, then began to clean it with very skillful movements.

Zhang Mu was watching curiously when he suddenly heard a familiar smoky voice coming from behind him.

"You're awake, meow..."

Zhang Mu turned around and saw Xuan Ji walking into the Buddhist hall with light steps and shaking off the water on her body.

The rats that were originally wiping the Buddha statue immediately came down from the statue one by one when they saw Xuan Ji, standing in a row and squeaking. This feeling made Zhang Mu feel like the gang leader had returned, surrounded by his younger brothers.

Ignoring the rats, Xuan Ji walked straight towards the house Zhang Mu had just walked out of, and gave Zhang Mu a look that said "Follow me". Zhang Mu immediately followed.

Walking back into the room where she woke up, Xuan Ji jumped onto the bed, found a comfortable spot beside it, and nestled down. Her golden eyes looked Zhang Mu up and down, "How do you feel, meow?"

Seeing that there were no chairs in the room, Zhang Mu sat on the bed and nodded. "Very good. This is the second time you've saved me."

"It's just a small matter..." Xuan Ji yawned, "It's fate that we are together, meow."

"Thank you." Zhang Mu said sincerely.

"But you still have to pay even if you say thank you!" Xuan Ji sat up straight again.

"Pay?" Zhang Mu was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "How much do you want?"

"You were unconscious for a total of eleven days." Xuan Ji thought for a moment and said, "To save you, I used three Blood Ring Pills, two Jade Bone Pills, two Nectar Pills, one Small I Ching Pill, and four Spirit Fish."

"I'll give you sixty-five taels in total... The rest is just a favor. Remember that, meow!"

"Sixty-five taels?" Zhang Mu said helplessly, "That much?"

“This is the lowest price.”

"I have costs too, meow!"

Zhang Mu nodded. He still had 70 taels of silver on him, which was enough to pay Xuan Ji's bill. But what surprised him was that he had been unconscious for eleven days!
"By the way, is there any news about the person who killed me?" Zhang Mu asked again.

Since it has been so long, there shouldn’t be any news, right?

Xuan Ji tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I haven't heard of it, meow."

Zhang Mu sighed and began to think about who would want to kill him.

"That's right!" Xuan Ji continued, "When I saved you, the demonic energy in your body reacted violently!"

Zhang Mu reacted instantly after hearing this.

That fox demon!

Yup!

Why didn't I think of it at first?

It can't enter the city, but it can send others into the city!
Since Liu Zuo could be subdued by it, others could too! "Also, the person who killed you was probably at the second level of Tongmai Realm." Xuan Ji said again.

"Second rank?" Zhang Mu fell into deep thought.

Even if Xuan Ji rescued herself, the killer would definitely not let her go, which meant that she still had to face him.

You can't expect Xuan Ji to save you every time. The key is to improve your own abilities.

If the opponent is of the second rank, it is not impossible to resist.

Right now, he has only opened up eight acupoints, which may be very powerful compared to ordinary people, but if he is missing even one acupoint, he is not a real warrior.

During this time, Zhang Mu had also learned some information from Instructor Wang, such as the fact that a true warrior's meridians were unobstructed, forming open orifices, through which internal energy flowed naturally. The so-called force exceeding a hundred kilograms was merely the simplest application of internal energy.

If I had already reached the level of a rank when I was assassinated before, I would not have been completely powerless against the killer.

Therefore, the basis of your own safety is to get the product as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he was only one acupoint away from reaching the highest level, and thanks to Xuan Ji's feeding him during this period, Zhang Mu not only did not feel any damage to his body, but his blood and energy became even more vigorous.

"Xuan Ji, I plan to attack the last acupoint of the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian here. Can you help me guard it?" Zhang Mu asked.

Xuan Ji blinked and nodded.

Zhang Mu reached out and rubbed Xuan Ji, then closed his eyes, mobilized his innate martial arts, and rushed towards the last acupoint.

At this time, Xuan Ji saw Zhang Mu entering the state of practicing acupuncture, and she waved her claws. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the room and closed the door.

Xuan Ji sat back down and looked at Zhang Mu, her eyes fixed on his lips.

Oh, why did you wake up so early?

I was planning to continue feeding medicine today...

……

"boom!"

Zhang Mu's innate martial energy hit the last acupoint of the Shaoyin Heart Meridian of Hand hard.

Although Zhang Mu's innate martial luck has been strengthened dozens of times, and his talent is now one in a million, this final skill to enter the realm of martial arts still cannot be achieved overnight.

According to the experience of the escort agents in the escort agency, it generally takes about a year for a normal person to successfully enter the rank, even if they start tempering their body in their youth. Of this time, at least three months are spent on the last acupoint.

At this time, after being impacted again and again by the innate martial energy, Zhang Mu could clearly feel the loosening of the acupoint.

Work hard!
"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The roaring sound that only Zhang Mu could hear kept exploding in his head. Every time it exploded, the tightly closed acupoint would vibrate.

Just when Zhang Mu felt mentally exhausted, the next impact created a gap in the acupoint.

There is a play!

Zhang Mu immediately gathered his strength and attacked again, feeling that the crack was gradually widening.

"Oh!"

With the last impact, the innate martial energy suddenly passed through the acupoints.

The ninth acupoint is opened!
However, it's not over yet.

Different from the previous situations after the acupoints were opened, this innate martial energy naturally rushed deeper into the meridians until it reached the end of the meridians.

In Zhang Mu's feeling, the innate martial luck did not stop, but crashed into the end.

The next moment, Zhang Mu seemed to see a spot of light at the end of the meridian. The light spot should be located in Zhang Mu's body, but he couldn't tell where it was exactly.

Is this the void?
Before Zhang Mu could further feel the existence of the empty cavity, all the acupoints on the entire Shaoyin Heart Meridian of the Hand shook together, and then the energy contained in the acupoints through qi and blood flowed out of the acupoints, entered the meridians, and gathered into a warm current that all rushed to the empty cavity that had just been opened.

When the warm current entered the empty cavity, the empty cavity suddenly shone brightly, as if illuminating his whole body. Zhang Mu felt the double pleasure of body and soul, and his life level seemed to have evolved.

It was not until this moment that Zhang Mu finally understood why opening up a meridian could be called "awakening the dragon within."

It’s in stock!
First-grade Tongmai realm!
At this moment, he became a real warrior!
At this moment, Zhang Mu's heart moved.

Ok?
There is movement on the Tianji List!
