Chapter 837

The Jade Fish turned back into the crude appearance of an inferior white jade carving, but Bai Lang remembered the vivid beauty when this thing was activated. "Should I throw it away?" Bai Lang thought for a while, and finally tucked it into his bosom. At this time, Bai Lang found that the clothes on his body were actually the set of "ancient costumes" he had before traveling, and naturally, the PPK handgun he brought was gone...

"Is this how 'modern' firearms are blocked?" Bai Lang laughed. His body was still the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy appearance before traveling, but because of practicing martial arts, he looked like seventeen or eighteen. Bai Lang breathed in and out, and the internal force of the Golden Bell Shield flowed spontaneously, and there was a sound like a tiger purring in his breathing.

"Ha! This set of practiced kung fu can actually be brought back!" Bai Lang was overjoyed and immediately felt that it was better to keep the Jade Fish. "The change of time still stays at the moment I traveled." This was the conclusion Bai Lang reached after going out to take a look—because those idlers didn't show the slightest surprise after seeing him, it seemed that he hadn't been gone for years.

In the years of traveling, the little ointment he brought at the beginning had long been used up, so Bai Lang found the ointment distributed by the Changle Gang in his room, applied a layer to himself, and began to temper his strength. In this practice, he was very happy to find that the second pass of his Golden Bell Shield began to loosen, and it seemed that he was going to rush through the meridians while the internal force roamed.

At this time, Bai Lang said "Oops" and thought of an urgent matter, which was to quickly write down the secret manual of the Golden Bell Shield. Of course, the original of this secret manual did not travel over either. Fortunately, this entire secret manual had been memorized by Bai Lang—including those patterns, but a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so it is better to write it down quickly.

As for whether it would be stolen or exposed? Bai Lang sneered at this—"I'm just a guy who mixed up to be a leader of the tooth firm thugs in the gang. Will anyone specifically pay attention to me to find out what opportunities I have obtained? Hahahaha." The situation was indeed like this. The Changle Gang didn't pay much attention to guys like them who belonged to the backbone gang members—this kind of guy who belonged to shouting and cheering.

Those who really did important things for the gang to grab territory or other important matters were those like Mo Zhai who caught the eyes of people above, had their own talents, and were accepted as disciples by elder-level figures in the gang to teach various divine skills and unique studies. These people were the ones who really had a future in the gang. Bai Lang himself knew that if there were no opportunities, he would be considered successful if he could be promoted to a deputy incense master by seniority in his life.

So giving him two common secret manuals at the beginning and distributing bruise ointment monthly was already not treating them badly in the gang, not to mention that there were monthly money and extra money to take, which might be better than ordinary common people. Every month there was also the so-called "contribution," and when accumulated to a certain degree, it was possible to go to the hall of the gang's preaching elders to exchange for other martial arts manuals or pills.

However, now, Bai Lang had practiced the Golden Bell Shield and opened the small circulation, and he was already half a step above this kind of gang member—at this age, opening the small circulation, he was considered quite good. If he continued to practice hard in the future, with the progress of martial arts, there was hope for an incense master or even a deputy rudder master. However, thinking of Mo Zhai... Bai Lang could only smile bitterly. His starting point now was reached by others several years ago.

At this time, what level had Mo Zhai's martial arts reached? Bai Lang couldn't think of it and didn't want to think about it. In short, it was definitely much stronger than him now. What Bai Lang had to do now was to practice hard while not showing it, striving to open the second and third passes of the Golden Bell Shield—he was still quite confident about this. After all, three passes make a big pass, and for this initial big pass, Bai Lang felt he had no problem.

As for practicing to the sixth pass, he would probably be able to step into the level of an innate expert—Bai Lang felt that only when he reached that step would he be able to truly know the mystery of the spread of martial arts in this world. "Perhaps only when I also start to step into this level will I be able to know what the situation of these experts in the world is."

Now working as a thug in a tooth firm, although the news was still well-informed, ordinary people really didn't know much about the news that really involved high-level martial arts people. For example, Bai Lang only knew that there was a Heaven, Earth, and Human Ranking, and his own gang leader seemed to be listed in the Human Ranking, but he didn't know the specific situation—because he was focused on practicing martial arts on weekdays and didn't specifically inquire about it.

Now it seemed that he had his own opportunity. It seemed that there was really hope in the future.

The requirement for breaking the pass of the Golden Bell Shield is to open the meridians. The second pass requires opening the twelve regular meridians, so that the internal force can flow endlessly in the meridians. It is best to open the eight extraordinary meridians one by one, but it is not necessary to open the Ren and Du meridians—opening these is half a step into the innate.

So what Bai Lang needs now is to constantly accumulate his internal force cultivation, the more vigorous the better—the Golden Bell Shield doesn't seem to be the best choice for accumulating internal force. It is a good hand at making internal force vigorous, and it is the same for fighting, but for purely practicing internal force and life-saving, it is still a bit insufficient.

If according to the nonsense that Bai Lang remembers, the Golden Bell Shield practices the essence and blood of the flesh, and the one that practices true qi should be the Yijin Jing... However, Bai Lang doesn't have that thing in his hand, and forget it, anyway, the Golden Bell Shield practices a breath of true qi from the outside to the inside, which is more suitable for him, at least "it won't be worse than Hong Qi?" This idea is Bai Lang's current confidence.

However, Hong Qi has the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and his personal martial arts wisdom is probably far above Bai Lang... Bai Lang's current fighting style is only the Tiger Form True Meaning derived from the Thirty-Two Route Long Fist and the Fist Classic, and there is really no unique study that can be called a name. "Should I practice a set of equipment? What kind of weapon is suitable for me?" Bai Lang felt that relying solely on fists and feet would probably not work, and he had to learn a piece of equipment more or less.

However, there are many weapons, and the eighteen weapons are only a small part, "Long spears and halberds, knives, swords, sticks, and clubs, which one should I learn?" Bai Lang felt it was necessary to think about it carefully, but soon he knew that this was purely wishful thinking... He wanted to learn sword techniques, but who would teach him? What kind of sword manual could he get? Spears, halberds, and halberds were the same. If he wanted to learn, there was no place to learn for a while. Figure it out himself? This was mostly a waste of time to walk the path that others had walked a long time ago.

All sword techniques have a thought in them, and each has its own philosophy. If he explores it himself, maybe it is possible to practice that one move, but it is really difficult to understand the sword intent. In contrast, knife techniques are simpler, at least the threshold for entry is lower, just need various chopping, and then stabbing... As for what philosophy the subsequent complete knife techniques have, he can learn it later.

"Looking at it this way, can a sword be understood as a double-edged knife?" Bai Lang also thought so—this is not strange, at least the Western great sword or hand-and-a-half sword in his knowledge is actually indistinguishable from a knife and sword. ===== CHAPTER 838 =====
