Let the true energy circulate for a while

……

It was already dark when the moon rose, casting a silvery glow.

"Originally there was no road, but as more people walked on it, a road was formed."

"Let's order some takeout."

Inside the Secret Service compound.

Chen Ye had been sitting cross-legged under the big tree for three hours.

There was a jade lotus flower in front of him; the other one should be in the hand of the mute.

Chen Jianbin was holding a boxed lunch, accompanying his son, along with several special agents and experts.

After Chen Ye returned, he gave the people here a general account of what had happened there.

Logically, everyone immediately figured out that the jade flower turned from green to white after being used, and this happened twice.

I don’t know if there’s a skill cooldown or something, but a young expert suggested that putting the jade flower under the moonlight might restore its color.

If the moon isn't working, then let's bask in the sun; someone even brought over a UV lamp.

Logically, Old Kui should be the one with the most say here, but he was also completely bewildered. However, Old Kui said something even more exciting.

His book on cultivating immortality records that there are nine jade flowers in total, which were left behind by Master Lü when he ascended to heaven.

Qin Shifan mobilized all resources, ordering his subordinates to retrieve information from various museums, auction information, and so on, searching all over the world.

This incident was reported truthfully, and it shocked Kyoto that very night!

If one could come and go freely and bring things with them, the implications would be self-evident.

This matter was classified as a top secret! Those who witnessed it in the courtyard became key protected individuals and signed confidentiality agreements.

Qin Shifan was commended for his strong support for the conservatives and his excellent coordination on the spot. Instead of hastily arresting people, he chose to observe them slowly and even secretly helped them obtain ID cards to reduce public opinion.

At the same time, Dr. Liang, who was talking big and spouting empty rhetoric, was severely criticized. Most surprisingly, it was discovered that Dr. Liang, a female comrade, had some issues and had been detained.

Qin Shifan moved a small stool over, sat down next to Chen Jianbin, and handed him a cigarette.

"Brother Chen, you should also persuade our nephew to eat something."

Chen Jianming was dumbfounded. When did you become my brother?

Qin Shifan chuckled, "Don't misunderstand, my wife's surname is also Chen. We were family five hundred years ago."

At this moment, a special agent moved a small table and placed it in the courtyard, and the secretary brought over two cups of tea.

Qin Shifan gave him a wink, and the latter immediately handed it to Chen Jianbin.

"Dragon King, please have some tea."

"Teacher Qin, please have some tea."

Qin Shifan asked, "Have you contacted Ms. Sun Xiaojuan yet? Have the head of the Cultural Bureau call me back."

Chen Jianbin interrupted, "No, don't tell the child's mother about this yet. I'll go see her in a couple of days."

Then someone brought some apples, which were arranged on a small plate.

Not far away, several special agents were pulling and tugging at each other. One of them strode over, stopped in front of Chen Ye, and said:

"Where's my brother?! I didn't mean anything by it, but Men Gun is my best brother."

"Chunlei, don't be impulsive, come back." Someone hurriedly tried to pull him back, but Chunlei shook him off.

Chen Ye looked up and said firmly, "I will definitely bring him back."

"What are you holding... Waaah..." Someone covered Chunlei's mouth, and another person hugged him and pulled him away.

"Mr. Chen Ye, my colleague had a few drinks, please don't mind..."

Chen Ye sighed and said nothing.

Qin Shifan reassured him, "Mentun is an excellent special operations operative with strong survival skills in the wild. He'll be fine. He also has a gun. Can your men take bullets?"

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, "A master who can manifest true qi can definitely catch a bullet! But those people are extremely rare. It is said that there are only a dozen or so in the world, and many of the old guys are probably dead by now."

Qin Shifan nodded: "The pistol's power isn't that great, but it's hard to say if it's a sniper rifle. What about the others?"

Chen Ye said, "If someone releases their true energy and is skilled in movement techniques, they might be able to dodge the bullet if they are prepared. It's hard to say."

"What about ordinary martial artists? Like the kind you mentioned before, those who only have internal energy protecting their bodies."

Chen Ye said, "For an ordinary martial artist, a spear should be faster than a spear from ten paces away."

"Within ten steps?"

Chen Ye stood up and said seriously, "I've never seen the power of a real gun in reality. You fire a shot, I'll see, and then we'll have a conclusion."

Qin Shifan nodded. "Get the gun!"

A special agent took the gun, held the barrel, pointed the muzzle downwards, and handed it over.

Qin Shifan took the gun, skillfully cocked it, and aimed at the distant wall.

Chen Jianbin was peeling an apple when he looked up.

"Wait!" Chen Ye reached to the side and took the fruit knife from his father's hand.

"I'll count to three, you fire, I'll throw a knife."

Qin Shifan nodded, seemingly understanding, "Okay!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

boom!

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes, focused his mind, and stared at the trajectory of the bullet. He could only see a fast afterimage. Almost simultaneously, he threw a throwing knife.

He wanted to try and see if he could hit the bullet with his throwing knife, but unfortunately, he was overthinking it; the gap was huge!

The bullet embedded itself in the wall, followed by the throwing knife, which then pierced the wall, its tip vibrating.

Qin Shifan asked, "How about it? If an ordinary martial artist were to face a spearman, within ten paces?"

Chen Ye decisively replied, "Within ten paces, the gun is both accurate and fast!"

Qin Shifan: "..."

"He should be fine for now. He probably had seven bullets in his gun, and he's a very accurate shooter."

Old Kui roared, "Hey! It works! Sunbathing with the moon works!"

Under the moonlight, the jade flower subtly changed color.

Everyone was overjoyed.

"A sudden blow! Hold on, you're saved!"

……

……

Woniuling is already sparsely populated, and it feels even more desolate at night.

Not far from where Chen Ye disappeared, there was a small cave with a bonfire burning at the entrance.

A circle of stones stood around the rabbit, which was being roasted with a stick.

The carcass of a fierce tiger with piercing eyes and a white forehead lay nearby, its head bearing two single holes.

The corpse of the king of beasts stands as a deterrent! And with the fire burning again, I reckon no wild animals will come anytime soon.

As is well known, tigers are solitary animals, and if they encounter wolves, they usually come in packs.

The moonlight, as white as frost, spilled across the dark, dense forest.

The mountain wind swept through the forest, stirring up chilling gusts of wind, while the campfire crackled softly.

The warm light encircled a small area, and the shadows of the trees were terrifying.

While roasting rabbit meat, Mengun muttered to himself.

"system?"

"Summoning System!"

"Summoning Panel!"

"Open the panel!"

"Fuck your mother!"

"Damn, all online novelists are liars!"

A wolf howled in the distance, sending a chill down his spine.

He took out the jade lotus flower, wiped it again and again, but found no old man or anything like that inside, so he put it back in his pocket.

I took out my phone and dialed 110 to try it out. I heard that this number can be dialed even without a signal!

There was no result.

"Damn, my phone is almost out of battery too."

How am I going to get through this night?

What if the bandits come again?

There are only 2 bullets left.

As night deepened, the campfire was reduced to a few embers flickering in the darkness.

"I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, then lower it to think of my hometown."

It's really hard to imagine why the protagonist in a novel would be so overjoyed after transmigrating.

Men Gun leaned against the cave wall and drifted off to sleep. The slightest jarring sound of the wind in the forest or the chirping of night birds would startle him awake. He instinctively reached for his gun, paused for a moment, then pushed himself back to sleep.

The moonlight slowly moved across the treetops, the night dew dampened my clothes, and in a half-asleep, half-awake state, the long night flowed by until a faint glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Nothing happened that night; it was relatively peaceful.

Men Gun stretched and stood up to move around. He glanced listlessly at the spot where Chen Ye had disappeared, but there was still no movement.

He then cautiously explored the vicinity, scooped up water to wash his face by a stream, refreshed himself, and drank several mouthfuls of the stream water.

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar. The muffled stick pushed aside the branches and, through the forest, saw a dirt road below. It was quite far away, but he could vaguely see seven or eight people wearing straw hats and with knives or swords hanging at their waists, riding fast horses and kicking up dust.

He lowered his body with the blunt force, observing curiously.

They were chasing after a young man dressed in fine clothes, who was riding a white horse and kept looking back, cracking his whip.

"Giddy up! Giddy up!"

As the two sides drew closer, a pursuer wearing a straw hat suddenly leaped from his horse and slashed down with his sword.

The young man in white robes scrambled off his horse, drew his sword, and began to fight him, while several other riders watched with mocking indifference.

The blow to the mouth was met with trembling eyes. Below, on the dirt road, people were fighting, their movements resembling those in a martial arts film.

The man in the straw hat dropped his sword mid-air, and the young man in white spun around, took a step back, and drew his sword to meet it.

The clang of metal rang out as the young master wielded his sword with agility, parrying and thrusting with ease, barely managing to deflect the heavy blade. Dust billowed as sword shadows mingled with the gleam of the blade.

After exchanging more than a dozen blows, the battle ended. The swordsman in the straw hat leaped onto his black horse, holding a head in his hand, and circled the headless corpse in white.

The riders strolled away.

The man was terrified. Unless he was given a heavy machine gun and a perfect position, he would surely die if those men rushed up and tried to kill him.

They're so fast; if they went to the Olympics, they'd be practically invincible in high jump, running, and all that.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the woods.

"Miss, that little vixen from Miaolian Palace is no pushover, just like that wild Taoist priest surnamed Chen."

Another female voice rang out, her voice noticeably more pleasant: "Xiao'e, you mustn't talk about Brother Chen like that. I know Brother Chen; he's honest and reliable, not at all like the rumors suggest. Someone must be deliberately slandering Brother Chen's reputation."

"Miss, are you still speaking up for him? That man surnamed Chen took your body and made a one-year promise with you. It will be a full year in three days, and he hasn't come to the manor to look for you."

"Stop talking, don't let anyone hear."

"This godforsaken place... Hey, who are you?!"

He squatted by the stream, his face stiff.

As the branches swayed gently, a pretty girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old emerged.

A young woman in a yellow dress walked out from behind the little girl. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, carrying a sword in one hand. Her almond-shaped eyes were very beautiful, like a beauty who had stepped out of a painting, as if the forest had suddenly become brighter.

Men Gun's heart suddenly raced, and he just stared blankly, thinking, "How beautiful."

Seeing that the man had short hair and wore strange clothes, the maid asked, "Who are you?"

He stood up, reached for his gun with his other hand, and forced a smile. "What the hell am I supposed to say? 'Team Leader of the Second Group of the China Special Operations Bureau, codename Mute'?"

"I... am Shi Lei."

The woman in the yellow dress asked, "What did you just hear?"

Men Gun picked at his ear and said loudly, "Huh? What did you say? My hearing isn't very good."

The woman in the yellow dress frowned slightly. "No need for this pretense!"

With one hand on his hip, he was ready to draw his gun and pull the trigger at any moment. After witnessing a fierce battle, he harbored deep resentment towards this world!

"Let's go, let's ignore him." The woman in the yellow dress was about to leave.

The little girl followed, turned around and made a face with a sense of smugness, then turned and followed her young mistress.

"Miss, you've been fooled by his nonsense. What Calabash Brothers, Ultraman, Black Cat Detective? I asked Grandpa Qiu about it. He knows everything about the world, but he's never heard of those legends and has never seen them."

"You know, Lu Zu's ascension is just a legend. Grandpa Qiu, have you ever seen Lu Zu? It's said that the sword immortal Li Bai could fly on his sword. Grandpa Qiu, have you ever seen him?"

The blow struck him like a thunderbolt. Biting his lip, he shouted at the departing figures:

"Miss, please wait!"

The woman in the yellow dress turned around. "What do you want?"

"Um, the person you're talking about, is his name Chen Ye?"

The woman in the yellow dress looked puzzled. "We don't know Chen Ye."

"Huh?" Men Gun was completely confused.

……

As Chen Ye was getting dressed to leave, he was pulled back by a jade-like hand. The lovely girl, who loved wearing yellow dresses, had almond-shaped eyes that looked pitiful and reluctant to part: "Young master, I still don't know your name."

Chen Ye turned around and smiled faintly: "I will not change my name or surname. I am Chen Jianbin."

I'm posting an early chapter today, and I'll also talk about this book in this chapter.
