Vol 2 Chapter 11 (1/2)

Xuan Luo was b.u.mmed out. He didn’t know what type of clash he had; perhaps he should have looked at the calendar beforehand. (This is related to superst.i.tion. Chinese people follow a lunar calendar and it will tell you which days are lucky or not).

Zhang Men gave him the simplest Wu Dang xin fa. It was created so that people with satisfactory abilities would still be able to handle it. Xuan Luo was extremely disappointed because he felt like his natural talents were quite good. In addition, he had already attained some nei li on his own. In the past, he would take out the ragged book and reread it. But now, he doesn’t need to do that anymore; he has memorized the book from open to close. Now, he goes right ahead to mediate when practicing nei li.

But Xuan Luo is a total novice in Martial Arts. Although he is big and tall for his size, deep down, he is still a child. He didn’t realize that the nei li he has been practicing is the reason why he could not unleash the xin fa Zhang Men had given him.

Wu Dang’s main purpose is to calm the heart and mind though. Even if one cannot practice Wu Dang’s gong fa, it can still help freshen in the mind. Hence, Xuan Luo quickly felt at peace.

“Hey. Old man! Where are you taking me? Being pressed was a terrible feeling; especially when he is seven che tall. It was somewhat disgraceful to be so helpless around such an old man.

“You will find out soon enough!” Tian Yu Zi responded. Looking down, he can see Xuan Luo being squeezed in between his armpit. He smiled. Imagine a man smiling with wrinkly skin and hair that looks like a bird’s nest. Xuan Luo felt a little sick.

But he knows he cannot fight back. Hence, he decided not to think about it.

At that moment, Xuan Luo’s nightmare appeared in his mind. The fiery sky; a young child stumbling without direction; tripping over a curb; the child becomes more conscious of his surroundings and turns back to see the looming fire.

Unconsciously, Xuan Luo became afraid and his body became rigid. Tian Yu Zi was able to feel the change. Originally, Xuan Luo was actively squirming about, but all of a sudden, Xuan Luo became as stiff as a rock. Tian Yu Zi didn’t know why, but he quicken his steps towards his residence.

This moment felt very familiar to Xuan Luo. He felt like he had been carried like this before. He doesn’t know why, but it felt very familiar.

Xuan Luo’s face turned white and there was no colour on his face. Sweat appeared on his forehead and started dripping like rain drops.

Finally, Tian Yu Zi stopped and dropped Xuan Luo on the ground. He realized that Xuan Luo’s whole body was twitching, and his face looked like he was suffering. Tian Yu Zi became super concerned and hastily asked, “What’s wrong? What happened to you?”

Xuan Luo totally ignored Tian Yu Zi. At that moment, he had lost all his senses.

Tian Yu Zi has no idea what happened, but from Xuan Luo’s expression, he could tell Xuan Luo was suffering a lot. Seeing him react so badly, Tian Yu Zi’s face became solemn as well.

Xuan Luo’s condition continued for quite some time. By now, the moon has appeared and it is night time. Since they were on a mountain, the night air of Wu Dang was quite chilly; the contrast was quite drastic.

But those who practices Martial Arts are usually not affected by the change in temperature. After training at a certain level, even if it’s snowing, a thin layer will still do.

Xuan Luo slowly opened his eyes. Everything looked unfamiliar. He doesn’t know what to say.

“Water….water…” His eyes looked lost as he murmured.

Tian Yu Zi quickly poured a cup of water and placed it next to Xuan Luo.

Xuan Luo struggled to sit up as he drank the cup of water. He finished it in one go.

“What happened to you?” Tian Yu Zi anxiously asked.
