Chapter 6 Innate Kung Fu
Lin Shan's calm heart began to beat wildly again, and the crowd searched for him thousands of times!
He turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper with a guilty conscience, and found that the shopkeeper was still lying on the wicker chair and taking a nap. He had been lazily sleeping all morning without moving an inch.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Shan looked at the Buddha statue again. The base was a nine-pin lotus platform, with an unknown ancient Buddha sitting on it.
The expression of the ancient Buddha is neither happy nor sad. Judging from the handwork, it does not seem to be carved by a famous artist. It is roughly scrawled, has many pits, and is completely black, making it look like a wooden statue.
"What is the origin of this black lotus Buddha statue? Why does it feel like a wholesale crude product? But it does look very old."
After flipping through the ledger, the appraiser's evaluation was written on it, "The material and workmanship are similar to those of ordinary black lotus Buddha statues, but the date is 800 years old, and it can be worth 20 gold."
20 gold is equivalent to 200 taels of silver, but guess what the appraiser's handwriting is.
"It is similar to ordinary black lotus Buddha statues."
Has he seen other Buddha statues of the same type? Lin Shan secretly made a note that he would investigate it carefully when he had time. It is very likely that he would have other ancient charms for clues about this style of Buddha statue.
The only worry now is that when I first absorbed "Spring River Playing Mandarin Ducks", the ancient painting seemed to have its support taken away in an instant and turned into fly ash. What kind of commotion will happen to the black lotus Buddha statue in front of me?
……
After hesitating for a while, Lin Shan thought that if he could get this ancient charm, he would be able to practice the innate skills immediately. In the end, temptation overcame his hesitation.
"Purchase him! This is the only antique I have found in the pawn shop. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. No matter what the consequences are, just pawn it!"
Lin Shan roared fiercely in his heart, and his hand movements were not slow, and he directly chose to follow the prompts on the enhancement panel.
"Absorb!"
The black lotus Buddha statue on the ground shimmered for a moment, and then seemed to have no change. However, in the upper right corner of the transparent reinforced panel in front of Lin Shan, the number changed from "3" to "4".
"Hoo~"
Suppressing his excitement and not shouting, Lin Shan turned off the panel, came back to his senses and observed carefully, only to find that the whole body of the Buddha statue was now covered with cracks, which were dense and tangled.
Lin Shan gently took his hand away from the Buddha statue and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He had no doubt that if he applied a little force, the Buddha statue would crash to the ground like a sand sculpture and turn into a puddle of fine sand.
After doing the bad thing, Lin Shan secretly glanced at the shopkeeper again. After confirming that he had not been discovered, he quietly left the back hall and walked out of the front of the store. At this time, there were few pedestrians on the street, and there were only a few birds here and there. No one wanted to bask in the sun at noon.
Lin Shan moved a small bench and sat at the door of the store, wishing he could fly back to his residence immediately.
Soon, the shopkeeper seemed to be snoring slightly in the store.
……
After evening, the sky turned red.
He seemed to hear the sound of the door locking behind him. Lin Shan, who was napping at the door, felt someone pat him on his back. He turned around and saw that it was the old shopkeeper with a refreshed look on his face.
"Boy, we're closed today, go back and do your business."
The shopkeeper smiled with his little eyes, locked the door of the pawnshop hard, and went home humming a tune.
Lin Shan rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the shopkeeper's brisk legs and feet, and couldn't help but sigh: "This job should be left in the previous life. I would go to work, sleep, fish, and lie down to collect money every day. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
At that moment, he quickly ran all the way back to Lin Mansion, causing a lot of excitement on the road.
……
After taking two hurried bites, Lin Shan returned to his residence and took out the Songhe Jue.
【Songhe Jue】
Quality: acquired skills
Introduction: The Lin family's unique internal skill has its own infuriating energy which has slightly lower lethality and comes with healing effects. After being practiced, it has a slight effect of extending life, and can be cultivated to the state of acquired perfection.
Strengthening requirements: 4 points
……
Lin Shan did not hesitate: "Strengthen!"
The book in his hand, which had been turned yellow by him for ten years, suddenly turned the pages automatically.
The moves and tricks flashed by one after another, the illustrations of the human body's meridians changed instantly, and the whole book "swished" automatically without any wind!
There seemed to be a supreme rule in the void that was tampering with the contents of the book. Words disappeared and reappeared one by one, and countless streaks of light merged into a rainbow on the page.
"Crack!"
The book was closed again and turned into a brand new book in the hazy white light:
【Changchun Gong】
Quality: Introduction to Xiantian Kung Fu: It can be practiced up to the Xiantian Dzogchen Perfection, which greatly increases the speed of cultivation and has a certain effect of prolonging life. After the cultivation, the true energy will be long and thick, which can heal the internal injuries of the meridians.
Derived secret skill: Broken Machine Palm
Hitting a person with the palm can destroy the vitality in the enemy's body; sticking it to vegetation can extract vitality to assist treatment.
Strengthening requirements: 8 points
……
"It is indeed an innate skill! Not to mention its power, buy one, get one free! It also comes with derived martial arts!"
Lin Shan was overjoyed. Changchun Gong, an innate skill, can be practiced much faster than acquired skills. As for increasing his life span, it is not attractive to him at the age of 16.
Although the introduction does not say how lethal Changchun Zhenqi is, it can be judged from the continuous internal energy and the healing of the meridians. It can withstand energy consumption, and at least the degree of life-saving is reliable.
The martial arts destructive palm derived from the exercise is even more outrageous! It's understandable that the forest and mountains can destroy the enemy's vitality, but how can they absorb vegetation and heal their wounds? Is the innate skill really so miraculous?
With Lin Shan's current vision, he still can't figure out the principle, but he's done practicing it.
As for the innate skills that can be strengthened again?
Now that he has lost all his ancient charm, he naturally has no hope.
……
After a night, Lin Shan, who had practiced the Changchun Gong again, felt refreshed. The cyan Qi now occupying his Dantian replaced the previous white Qi.
"Can true energy change color? Are there five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth? But why have I never heard of it before?"
Lin Shan looked suspicious. Changchun Kung alone and the introduction given by the enhanced panel made him vaguely guess. But other tribesmen also practice the Fire Technique, Rolling Stone Art, etc., and I haven't heard them talk about having red, yellow, blue and green Qi.
Lin Shan could only blame it on the magic of his innate skills. After all, the enhanced panel would not be counterfeit and harm him.
In the next few days, Lin Shan, who had finished collecting the wool from the pawn shop, naturally couldn't go there again in order to avoid suspicion, so he changed his job from the manager to work.
Lin Shan was doing odd jobs while trying to figure out and familiarize himself with the newly acquired innate skills. These days were quite fulfilling.
……
The good times did not last long, five days later, we headed back up the mountain early in the morning.
"Did you hear that a strongman came to Qinghe County yesterday? He broke into our Lin's Pawn Shop and made a big fuss."
Lin Shan, who was rowing and fishing and practicing radio gymnastics, immediately listened.
"Isn't that right? It is said that he is a master of Huajin. The past three deacons of our Foreign Affairs Hall were beaten back."
"Our Lin family tree is very popular, and we may attract top-notch experts at any time, but why do we need to cause trouble in the pawn shop?"
"It is said that the pawn shop destroyed the things that the hero had pawned twelve years ago."
"Tsk, tsk, that pawn shop owner probably won't be able to eat and carry around."
"Who says it's not!"
……
Lin Shan was also secretly afraid after hearing this, and he roughly guessed the whole story.
If I guessed correctly, the hero's pledge was the Black Lotus Buddha statue.
He originally thought about going to the pawn shop in a few days to pay more attention to whether the appraiser had come, so that he could inquire about the whereabouts of the other Black Lotus Buddha statues.
Fortunately I didn’t go!
He could naturally imagine the anger of the expert when he stepped into the pawn shop to redeem his antiques and saw the Buddha statue suddenly turned into fine sand.
Although the Lin family is a large family in Qinghe County, the ancestors of the Xiantian family have always been ignorant of worldly affairs. A first-class master rules the roost in the arena, and comes and goes like the wind. He cannot be offended casually, unless there is a deadly feud, and if it can be resolved, it is natural to resolve it as much as possible.
The Lin family was in the wrong, but unfortunately the shopkeeper took care of Lin Shan.
Lin Shan silently mourned for the shopkeeper, but he was helpless.
Coincidentally, Lin Fan attracted attention for Lin Shan for the first time, and the controversy over the theft of the family owner's favorite paintings has gradually subsided these days.
"It seems that we have to be more careful in the future."
If you can escape once or twice, it is impossible for someone to stop the disaster every time.
Lin Shan can vaguely foresee the future, and his journey to find ancient charm will inevitably be bumpy.
