Chapter 11
Bai Lang was quite interested in the Thirteen Guardians' practice of the Golden Bell Cover martial arts, and he immediately felt the need to practice it. However, the truck had to leave, otherwise there was no place to practice in this place, as it was in the middle of nowhere. This martial arts had a matching medicinal soup and a strengthening pill.
Where can I find medicinal herbs in the wilderness? Bai Lang is a thug in the pharmacy, not a herbalist, and it is impossible to collect all the medicinal herbs here. So I still have to go to the town. As Bai Lang thought, if I want to collect as many medicines as possible, I can only go to those provincial capitals. And now it is not far from Lanzhou.
Dozens of kilometers outside Lanzhou city, Bai Lang abandoned the truck at a fork in the road. He then used his skills to travel at night and arrived at Lanzhou city overnight. He even stayed in a hotel - when he rented a house in the town, he used fake ID.
With some free time, Bai Lang began to study the martial arts secret book carefully. "The proportion of this medicinal soup, I always feel that although it may be true, it is not very reliable. As for the Qi-strengthening Pill, although it may be in line with pharmacology, the medicinal materials used are indeed too rare." Bai Lang muttered as he looked at the prescription at the back of the book.
He used to get a Qi-replenishing pill every month from the Changle Gang and had seen this kind of more common pill formula. Besides, he usually didn't go to brothels or cause trouble. He just read and practiced martial arts for fun. After reading a lot of medicinal classics, he also had some knowledge of pharmacology. After all, his knowledge was naturally better than those locals, as was his learning and analytical ability.
"There are actually tiger bones in the medicinal soup, and a bunch of medicines that you can tell are not cheap just by imagining. Then they are boiled into the medicinal soup for soaking - and a pot of medicinal soup has to be replaced after only three soakings. This strengthening pill is made of ginseng - which is more than a hundred years old, and there are a bunch of donkey-hide gelatin and the like. They are made into pills with honey and taken one per day." Let's not even talk about whether tiger bones the medicines that can be bought, Bai Lang feels that he may not have enough money to buy many.
Anyway, don't think about the medicinal soup and the Qi-strengthening pills for now, just try to practice. But there is no rush now, wait until he can borrow a cheaper and less conspicuous house the next day. The good things he did in the last place are useless now - the surveillance cameras are limited, and they can only capture him robbing a car and running along the highway, but he lost his trace on the road without surveillance.
The person caught was a guy who claimed to have found a truck, and the man who beat people and robbed the car disappeared without a trace. The next day, Bai Lang borrowed a house - he didn't care about the rent, and he didn't have anything to move, so he was able to rent it quickly. The place for cultivation was also simple - there was a park nearby, and it was not small. There were many people exercising, and he didn't stand out at all.
The training method of the Thirteen Taibao's Golden Bell Cover, at least as depicted in the secret manual, is not that shocking. It mainly involves moving fists and feet in the same way as the Thirty-two Moves Long Fist, while moving internal force at the same time - and there are also a lot of static exercises, such as sitting cross-legged to refine essence and transform qi.
However, Bai Lang still lurked for three days to see which way the wind was blowing - the young man had never underestimated the monitoring capabilities of modern society. After confirming that everything was alright, on the morning of the fourth day, before the sun came out , he had already walked towards the park.
Parks are not open 24 hours a day . Even though square dancing is popular now, in order to avoid disturbing the elderly, the park is only open until 9pm. It will not be open until 6am the next day for citizens to exercise in the morning. Bai Lang sneaked into the park at 4am - he used Qinggong to perform, and he jumped over the wall lightly, landing silently and the whole person seemed to be gliding on the ground - in fact, the Qinggong of flying on the grass is never bad, but not many people have really mastered it.
Arriving deep in the park, Bai Lang looked around and confirmed that the night patrol security guards were not there. Then he sat upright on a stone bench on the ground, let out a long breath, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing - he had thought about practicing static exercises first. In this moment of silence, he was practicing dynamic exercises with quite a lot of movement, was he afraid that the security guards would not know?
Anyway, it takes time to practice static exercises. It is okay to practice dynamic exercises after the qigong activates the meridians in the body. The most important thing is that when collecting the purple qi of the rising sun, it is the most suitable time to practice static exercises. In this way, Bai Lang practiced after the sun rose. The static exercises he practiced were still the internal skills he had practiced for three years - it was also moderate and peaceful, but it was only a basic exercise after all.
At six in the morning, many citizens had already entered the park, and now Bai Lang could really start practicing - he had memorized the secret book by heart before, but he still kept it with him ready to read at any time. This Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover does not require a virgin body like the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training. Judging from the twelve levels written in the book, this martial arts is more like something taken from a martial arts novel.
The first level was mainly about dynamic exercises, but Bai Lang first practiced the 32-movement long fist he developed himself - it was already more like Baji and Xingyi Pi Gua according to his talent. The rolling internal force came out from Dantian, flowing along the meridians he opened, and repeatedly impacting those meridians that were not opened - practicing martial arts is like this. Without magical skills and elixirs, he can only rely on his own hard work to grind away the obstacles in the meridians bit by bit.
Bai Lang knew that his talent was only above average, and that daily hard training was not enough, so how could he dare to indulge himself? His wholehearted devotion brought about a fierce and vigorous training, and wherever he stepped, the ground was also shaking slightly. Some people had already gathered around and marveled at it - the citizens who came here to exercise early every day were almost all acquaintances, and everyone had their own favorite territory. This young man came here to practice martial arts, and he was a face he had never seen before, so of course some people would come to see him.
At first glance, it was amazing. This young man seemed to have practiced real kung fu. His punches were fierce and powerful, like a dragon tumbling, or a tiger leaping and roaring. The might was so great that ordinary people could not get within two feet of him. This was because Bai Lang's boxing and kicking skills had been practiced to the point where he could control most of his momentum and internal strength and use it to strengthen his meridians instead of dispersing it externally.
After finishing the long punch, Bai Lang closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, took a long breath, and began to practice the Golden Bell Cover. "Hmm?" After performing the long punch in conjunction with the breathing method, Bai Lang immediately felt that the internal force that was circulating in the meridians jumped. His hands and feet did not stop, and the next moment the internal force that was originally flowing in the meridians turned into a roaring river, directly rushing through the original meridian circulation route and rushing towards another meridian.
