Chapter 10 Strange Things
"Old Li, have you heard? Something strange happened in the martial arts hall yesterday."
"What's strange?"
"I don't know why, but there were water stains in every corner of the martial arts hall yesterday, especially in some corners, as if they were flooded."
"What's so strange about this? Maybe the cleaning lady didn't clean it well. Wouldn't it be clear if we check the surveillance?"
"Yes, I thought so at first, but the strangest thing is here. From 7 to 9 pm yesterday, the surveillance video for those two hours was a black screen."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Come on, if you don't believe me, I'll take you to see..."
"..."
In the locker room, two high school-looking boys changed into their martial arts uniforms and walked out while chatting.
"Seven to nine? Isn't that the time period when I leave the martial arts hall?"
As soon as Shen Bailian walked into the locker room, he heard the two whispering. He frowned slightly and felt that the time period was familiar.
But after recalling for a while, he didn't find anything unusual.
Or maybe he was too tired and didn't notice it.
There have been a lot of strange things in the past two days. First, the eight schools joined forces, then the strange beasts attacked the city, and then the remnants of the worship of the gods. Today, I heard this kind of strange thing again.
It's really a troubled time!
After Shen Bailian changed into his martial arts uniform, he walked towards the 404 training room without further delay.
"Today is still the same old rule. I will slow down the rhythm and practice for you first, and then you can do it yourself. I will correct you if there is anything wrong."
"As for you." Zhou Changqing raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy on the far left. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can practice on your own first. If you don't understand something, I will explain it to you one by one later."
"Thank you, coach."
Shen Bailian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Zhou Changqing. He was really afraid that the other party would drag him along, which would only delay his practice time.
Then he hurried to the side and started warming up.
Regarding the fact that Shen Bailian enjoyed special treatment, the other martial arts apprentices just turned their heads and looked at him enviously, and there was no other emotion.
After all, the boy's talent is there. He can master the form just by watching it twice, but they have forgotten part of what they learned yesterday.
Besides, Zhou Changqing did not waste their time.
…
"Don't practice the boxing to death. There should be a spirit in your heart. Take the form as the boxing, the intention as the spirit, the strength from the joints, and the strength from the spirit. If you have the opportunity, you can go to the wild and see the scene of the mountain king coming down the mountain in person..."
"When practicing the crane-shaped boxing, you should spread your arms and spread your wings to the sky, so that the form and spirit can be integrated and released from..."
Zhou Changqing's deep voice sounded in Shen Bailian's ears. Sometimes he would personally take action to correct the boy's movements, which benefited the boy a lot.
"Not bad, he is indeed a good seedling. It seems that Bozhou City will have another pillar."
Zhou Changqing looked at the boy's increasingly skilled movements, and smiled with admiration.
This kind of genius who has both talent and hard work is rare.
He heard from his colleagues that the boy didn't leave the martial arts hall until after seven o'clock yesterday, and their get out of class was over at three-thirty, which means that the boy practiced for three and a half hours.
Buzz~buzz~
Zhou Changqing felt the vibration of the smart bracelet, and then glanced at the clock, and found that the time had unknowingly come to ten-thirty.
He continued to wait for a while, until Shen Bailian finished the last move.
"Okay, you take a break first." Zhou Changqing held down the boy who wanted to continue practicing the Five Spirit Fist, touched the muscles on the boy's arm, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"After you finish practicing, go to the massage room on the second floor. There are professional masseurs inside. Let him give you a massage."
"Ah? My contract doesn't seem to include this."
Shen Bailian scratched his head.
The massage master of Xingyi Martial Arts Hall is also well-known in this area, and it is also a golden signboard. However, if you want this service, you have to pay extra. Even if it is discounted, you have to pay 3999 yuan.
"Yes, this item is not included in the contract he signed."
Li Mengyi came over at some point, holding a bottle of energy drink in her hand.
"It's okay, just say I asked you to go."
Zhou Changqing said lightly, looking indifferent.
"Isn't this a bit bad?"
Shen Bailian hesitated a little, after all, this was not a trivial matter of one or two dollars.
"The elders' gift cannot be refused. How old are you, and you still don't understand this principle?" Li Mengyi immediately lectured the boy.
Then she blinked her big eyes again, looking at Zhou Changqing pitifully: "Coach, I haven't experienced it either, I don't know..."
Zhou Changqing glanced at her, and seemed to have been accustomed to the girl's thick skin, and said lightly: "Okay."
"Oh yeah! Thank you handsome and generous coach~"
Li Mengyi jumped up and made a heart to Zhou Changqing.
Zhou Changqing ignored her. Seeing that it was time to get off work, he left with his water cup after saying "get out of class off".
"Goodbye, coach." Shen Bailian and others bowed to him.
After class, the remaining students dispersed as needed, and two of the boys even said hello to Shen Bailian.
"Brother Shen, we'll leave first, see you next week."
"..."
"Okay, see you next week."
Shen Bailian responded politely to the two boys.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
He turned to look at Li Mengyi beside him.
"Here." Li Mengyi pouted and handed over the energy drink in her hand.
"Thank you."
Shen Bailian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't act pretentiously. He took the energy drink and drank it.
After all, rounding it off, the girl owed him a favor, and got a free massage from the massage master.
In addition, he was very thirsty and his stomach was still a little empty, so he finished a bottle in a flash.
"Can you add a contact number?"
Li Mengyi smiled foolishly twice, and then showed her smart bracelet.
"Hmm?" Shen Bailian looked at the girl in confusion. After a moment's pause, he said, "Didn't I add you yesterday?"
"Ah? Really?"
Li Mengyi quickly opened the Xinglian software and saw the note of "Xiao Shenzi". She rubbed her head and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, my memory is a bit bad these two days."
Shen Bailian didn't take it seriously.
He thought of what he heard in the locker room today. He was still resting now. In addition, Li Mengyi left the latest yesterday, so he became a little interested and asked, "You left later than me yesterday. Did you notice anything strange in the martial arts hall?"
"I get angry when you talk about this."
When Li Mengyi heard this, she was like a powder keg that was detonated. She immediately got angry, raised her fist, and said angrily, "I finished cleaning yesterday. I don't know what happened. So many water stains suddenly appeared, and I was fined fifty yuan!"
"Damn it, don't let me catch that person! Otherwise."
With a snap.
The moment Li Mengyi swung her fist, a sound like a firecracker exploding suddenly rang out in the air.
"Otherwise, I will definitely let him know why the flowers are so red!"
