Dawn was breaking in the east, and Daojun Mo was leaving early. He had traveled all over the mountains, and he was not old. The scenery here was unique.
The cool breeze was gentle. Weiwei drove them back to Lao Wang's 1314 Convenience Store No. 2. The car stopped. Ran Jing and Cang Jin jumped out of the car and pulled Weiwei into the store. Du Kang was temporarily appointed as the main person in charge of the purchasing office. His main task was to buy breakfast.
Du Kang stood on the street and looked around. There was not even a stall selling pancakes, let alone a fast food restaurant. Du Kang scratched the back of his head and felt depressed. "I'm not familiar with this place. Where am I going to get food? Forget it, I'll just sell it out."
After placing an order online and telling the delivery boy that it would be delivered within ten minutes, Du Kang did not enter the house. He simply took advantage of the fresh morning air to warm up his hands and feet. First, he practiced the Eight Extremities Fist. He was very serious and tried to perfect each move. Then, he changed his moves.
"Jade Maiden Shuttle" began. A set of Tai Chi Fist was like a violent storm. It was completed in one breath. Each punch carried a sharp sound of breaking the wind. Pa, pa, pa, it was like a whip exploding in the air.
"Really?" Ran Jing heard the movement outside and walked to the door just in time to see Du Kang practicing. She could not help but ask curiously, "Weiwei, your Xiao Pang's Tai Chi Fist is not bad. He can be considered to have reached a higher level."
"Really?
How should I put it? I don't know much about secular martial arts. What can you see from it? "
Weiwei and Ran Jing stood side by side. Looking at Du Kang who was practicing around the car, a sweet and soft smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Ran Jing moved her hands and made a Tai Chi Fist stance. She said to Weiwei, "Tai Chi Fist is a fist technique that is both hard and soft. Don't be fooled by the group of old men and old ladies practicing Tai Chi in the park. It's called Tai Chi Fist. It's just a routine. It's good to exercise the muscles and strengthen the body. However, Tai Chi Fist is also an ancient martial art. It's very powerful. A hundred years ago, Grandmaster Yang Luchan used Tai Chi Fist to win the great reputation of Yang Wudi."
"Look," Ran Jing said. Her fingers had already raised to the center of her eyebrows and then slowly pressed down on Du Kang. She said, "Xiao Pang has already practiced Tai Chi Fist from soft to hard. When he can integrate hard and soft into a small space, his Tai Chi Fist will be complete. However, based on his current attainments in boxing, he is already very good. Among the same generation, he is not inferior to any of the descendants of ancient martial arts families."
"Aiyo, Jing Jing, I really don't hear you praise others. Tell me honestly, do you have a crush on my Xiao Pang?
Tell me quickly. "
As Weiwei said this, she wanted to tickle Ran Jing again. Ran Jing laughed and dodged. Her figure was like a swimming fish, slipping into the store. Weiwei also chased after her, "baring her fangs and brandishing her claws."
Du Kang didn't know that Ran Jing had such a high opinion of him. After a set of Tai Chi Fist, he only felt comfortable all over. Clenching her fists, Weiwei exerted her strength. The joints in her body made a series of cracking sounds, like popping beans.
"Hahaha, this feels great!"
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and stretched. At this time, his phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was the delivery boy. He said that the food had arrived and asked Du Kang to pick it up himself.
"Isn't this … delivery to your door?"
Asked Du Kang. The delivery boy seemed to be in a difficult position. He hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he clenched his teeth and insisted that Du Kang pick it up himself. If Du Kang gave him a bad review, he couldn't do anything about it.
"Holy sh * t, he's so arrogant."
Du Kang didn't have a good impression of this "principled" delivery boy. He got in his car and went straight to the place the delivery boy said.
In fact, the place the deliveryman mentioned was not far from Old Wang's convenience store. It was only a house away, and it was only a ten-minute walk away. However, the deliveryman refused to come, so Du Kang had no choice but to drive there himself to get the food.
"That's you?"
Asked Du Kang coldly. He got out of the car and looked at the delivery boy who was standing next to the electric scooter anxiously.
"Yes … Yes." The delivery boy looked behind Du Kang and asked cautiously, "Brother, let me ask you something I shouldn't have asked. Do you live here or what?"
Du Kang took the food from the delivery boy's hand. He was a little puzzled, but he still said that he lived here temporarily and helped a friend look after the store.
The delivery boy suddenly had a look of realization. "I was wondering why. I knew you weren't a local when I heard you speak just now. No wonder, no wonder."
"No wonder what?" Du Kang's interest was piqued by the delivery boy's words, so he simply carried the plastic bag and chatted with him.
The delivery boy was also very talkative. Perhaps because it was too early and he didn't have any orders to complete, he happily chatted with Du Kang.
According to the delivery boy, this area was considered the old city area of Dongguang. Before liberation, this area belonged to the Fusang Empire.
Back then, the Fusang Devils burned, killed, and looted, committing all kinds of crimes. This place was full of corpses, and blood flowed like a river. God knew how many people died and were thrown here. It was better when the weather was cold, but when it came to the beginning of spring, the stench would spread for three miles. Flies would buzz all day long, and wild dogs would run away with a human hand in their mouth or a head in their mouth. From a distance, it looked like a vast expanse of white, full of maggots.
Later, the Fusang people implemented enslavement education and pretended to be hypocritical about the greater East Asia's prosperity. Hence, they didn't dare to act so brazenly anymore. They sent troops to bury the corpses here.
Although the corpses were buried, few people were willing to pass through this place. It was gloomy during the day, and at night, loud cries could often be heard. The cries made people's hair stand on end.
Later, when the country was liberated, this place was replanned as a residential area. It was said that at that time, people dug up bones from this place and piled them up like a mountain. There were countless bones, and it could be called a mass grave.
At that time, people could be said to have been to the battlefield and seen dead people. Their lives were picked up. They were not afraid of anything, and they really built houses here.
In the beginning, it was also troublesome. Every two or three days, things in the house would move inexplicably. In the middle of the night, people would hear people talking and crying, and some even saw ghosts.
"I heard from my grandfather that later, he invited a big monk to come over and set up a water and land Taoist temple. Those good friends of his were all sent to the afterlife, and after that, there was no more trouble. However, as the old people left and moved, this place gradually became empty. Two or three years ago, there were rumors that it was haunted. Look here."
The delivery boy said as he pointed to the closed shops on both sides of the street. "Almost all of them have moved away. Now, except for the old people who are reluctant to leave or the poor who have no place to move, this place is empty."
"Is this place as evil as you say?"
When Du Kang heard the delivery boy's words, he couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose with his fingers. His smile was a little unnatural.
The delivery boy thought that Du Kang was frightened by his words. He smiled and patted Du Kang's shoulder. He comforted him. "But don't worry. Although it's noisy here, it's just to scare people. There's nothing else."
"Nothing else?"
Du Kang sneered in his heart and thought to himself, "It's nothing now, but what about 36 days later? If that red-robed ghost king goes crazy, it'll be a big deal."
