Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: The peerless martial arts of the old man

Bi Bufan didn't answer my question, but looked straight at my wrist. On the wrist, the soul pendant emits a goose yellow glow under the cover of lights.

Can I borrow this item from you to take a look

After Bi Bufan finished speaking, without waiting for me to respond, he extended his right hand like lightning and grabbed my wrist. I instinctively withdrew my hand, and the soul pendant slipped out of my wrist and into Bi Bufan's hand.

I am a person who has practiced kung fu and have a deep understanding of the small grappling hand. I am good at fighting with people in small spaces. But Bi Bufan's technique was even faster and more cunning than mine. When his fingers were pressed onto my wrist, I immediately felt half of my arm numb.

My inner shock is intense. A withered old man, only about 1.6 meters tall and in his sixties or seventies, who seemed to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind, turned out to be a hidden master! Bi Bufan's movements were seamless, taking less than a second from the moment he fired the gun to the bracelet. Although I saw something was wrong, I also planned to respond in my heart. But my brain commands have not yet been transmitted to my arm muscles, and Bi Bufan's movements have already been completed.

In Zhang Jingyi's opinion, although Bi Bufan's movements were fast, he did not exert any force. But I deeply realized that Bi Bufan's five fingers contained a mysterious power, and with just a gentle touch, half of my arm lost its ability to move. What kind of kung fu is this? Is it the legendary acupoint?

I have a practice history of over ten years, during which I have changed seven or eight masters. From the simplest long fist to the complex grappling hand, I have dabbled in it to some extent. During this time, I also practiced taekwondo for two years, learned flying knives, and even learned equipment from a retired special police officer. All these masters unanimously told me that the acupressure techniques in movies are fake, a form of sensationalism, and do not exist in real life.

For many years, I have also developed a concept of martial arts in my mind. I believe that the essence of martial arts lies in hitting the enemy's weakest link with the fastest speed and most accurate technique, while preventing the enemy from hitting me. The so-called theory of acupoints and acupoints is just a series of terms coined by literati and scholars.

But all these explanations turned pale in front of Bi Bufan, and I vaguely felt that this was a acupoint, a true acupoint.

What shocked me about Bi Bufan was not only his martial arts skills, but also the bracelet.

The soul pendant suddenly shrank by one size a day ago and cannot be removed from my wrist. During this period, I tried various methods to remove the bracelet, but all ended in failure. But when Bi Bufan took off the bracelet, he suddenly took it off. Like taking off a large glove, my palm didn't even feel any compression.

That's why, in Bi Bufan's eyes, things that many people couldn't do with many methods are so easy. I feel that the soul pendant was not taken off by Bi Bufan, but was sucked away by a suction force coming from Bi Bufan's palm. What kind of kung fu is it that can actually create suction in the palm of the hand?

After surpassing the Soul Pendant, Bi Bufan carefully studied it in his hand, with a level of seriousness no less than an antique appraiser seeing a rare treasure.

The numbness in my arm was fleeting and returned to normal in just three to five seconds. Because Bi Bufan showed such incredible skills, it completely dispelled my idea of snatching back the bracelet.

In fact, I also feel very relieved - the deadly bracelet can finally be taken off.

If it weren't for today's encounter, I would have actively searched for Bi Bufan tomorrow. The main purpose of my search for Bi Bufan is actually to uncover the secret of the soul pendant. Now the soul pendant is in Bi Bufan's hands, so I sit quietly, waiting for Bi Bufan's research results.

For a full five minutes, Bi Bufan flipped over the bracelet, muttering words and his eyes radiating excitement. Judging from Bi Bufan's expression, he not only knows this bracelet, but also has some kind of connection. A wave of joy rose in my heart, as if the secret of the table would soon be revealed.

Finally, Bi Bufan let out a long sigh and returned the bracelet to me, saying, "Did you know that there was a Zhongshan Kingdom in the Han Dynasty

I nodded and said, "I once visited the tomb of the first Prince Jing of Zhongshan, which can indeed be called a great project

The Zhongshan Kingdom mentioned by Bi Bufan was a fiefdom of the Han Dynasty in present-day Baoding City, Hebei Province, located approximately between Mancheng County and Yixian County in Baoding City.

The first ruler of Zhongshan State, Liu Sheng, was the illegitimate son of Emperor Jing of Han and the older brother of Emperor Wu of Han. He was known as the "hero of Han" and his mother was Lady Jia. He also had a fellow brother, Prince Zhao Jingsu and Liu Pengzu. Prince Jing of Zhongshan was fond of wine and beauty, and his son alone gave birth to over 120 children, ruling for more than 40 years. According to research, Liu Sheng is likely to be the thirteenth generation ancestor of the descendant Shu Lord Liu Bei. After Liu Sheng's death, he was buried in the grottoes of Lingshan in present-day Mancheng County. During a military exercise in 1968, Liu Sheng's tomb was accidentally bombed with Zha medicine, revealing a great secret buried for thousands of years. The treasures discovered in the tomb of Prince Jing, such as the Golden Thread Jade Robe, Changxin Palace Lantern, and Cujin Boshan Furnace, have been classified as national treasures and caused a sensation.

My hometown is less than a hundred miles away from Lingshan, so I am very familiar with this ancient imperial tomb.

Tan Yiyan once said that this soul pendant has a history of at least two thousand years, coinciding with the time of the death of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. Today, Bi Bufan mentioned Zhongshan Jingwang again, and I vaguely felt that this soul pendant may have some connection with Zhongshan Jingwang.

So, do you know about Shouling Village at the foot of Lingshan? "

I've heard of it, it's the descendant of the tomb keeper

When I was visiting the Jingwang Mausoleum back then, I heard from the tour guide that there was a village with over 3000 people at the foot of Ling Mountain called Shouling. For thousands of years, the people of Shouling Village have known that they are the successors of the tomb guardians. The people their ancestors waited for were buried on the tomb mountain in front of the village, but they did not know who they were guarding the tomb for or where it was located. It wasn't until the Han tomb in Lingshan was excavated that they realized their ancestors were actually guarding a royal tomb.

So, do you know the surnames of most people in Shouling Village

The reason why I am able to answer the first two questions is because I am a local and have heard of some famous historical sites in the area. This is common sense. But Bi Bufan asked me the surname of a person from a village a hundred miles away, which was beyond the scope of common sense.

I don't know, the tour guide didn't say anything at that time, "I shook my head

Stupid, since it's for Liu Sheng to guard the tomb, he will naturally choose his fellow ancestor, who must be surnamed Liu, "Zhang Jingyi suddenly blinked her eyes." Maybe Liu Bei is a descendant of the people guarding the tomb, otherwise the Peach Garden Oath wouldn't have happened in Zhuozhou, which is less than a hundred kilometers away from the village
