unrivaled gymnastics

"Let me briefly explain that Anamorphoses is a painting method in the Western School of Painting. The translation probably means distorted images or deformed images."

Louis pointed to "Sword Dance": "Anamorphoses can only restore their original image by using special perspective or reflection on a curved surface. You see these patterns, they are just a bunch of messy decorations on the plane, but reflected on the cylinder On the curved surface of the shape, it will become a complete image. The painter uses this wonderful optical principle to hide what he really wants to paint on a piece of paper."

Everyone seemed to understand, and nodded along pretendingly.

Lin Wuque exclaimed: "This is the greatness of Tang Yin! The ancient Chinese painting art does not pay attention to perspective, and there is no distinction between 'near big and far small'. It is a unique art form, but the study of optics is not as good as in the West. In-depth and thorough, so it is impossible to develop Anamorphoses. But Tang Yin broke through the traditional restrictions and actually hid such secrets in his paintings. He is indeed a master of a generation! In his era, it is hard to imagine how he came up with such a wonderful Thought!"

"I think changing to a spherical surface may reflect more content." Louis said, "God knows how many details are hidden in this painting! Maybe each pattern is an action, and they together form a complete set sword manual!"

One after another, exclamations filled the living room, even the bodyguards around the glass box were amazed, although they didn't quite understand what the two "experts" were talking about.Qi Jingtian held the hands of Lin Wuque and Louis to thank them for their contributions, and was so excited that his words didn't match up.

Once the news of the discovery of this sword manual is announced, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world of martial arts and archaeology.A question arises from this, who should own the sword manual hidden in the painting?Qi Jingtian is the owner of "Sword Dance Picture", and the sword manual should belong to him, but he doesn't know martial arts, and his grandson Qi Chong is not good at swordsmanship, so it is useless for them to keep the sword manual.But to whom?No matter who gets this sword manual, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

"In order to fight for it, there will be a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes." Qi Chong said deeply.

"It's all ready to be disclosed." Qi Jingtian patted the old cadre's thermos readily.

"What?!" Qi Chong's legs went limp, but fortunately he had a cane to support him, otherwise he would have to perform a headlong on the spot.

"Since I plan to donate this treasure to the country, the secrets in the painting should of course be open to the public. This is the wisdom of the ancients, and it should benefit future generations and benefit the common people, rather than being monopolized by one or two people."

"The old man really understands righteousness!"

The old man's words immediately attracted everyone's praise.Qi Jingtian pressed his hands, saying that he didn't donate the paintings and sword manuals for this false name, but really wanted to give back to the society with his own efforts. "It would be disgusting to talk about it any further. I wonder if the two experts can continue to study the sword manual? If you need any equipment, just ask, and I will ask someone to prepare it immediately."

Louie seemed impatient.He flipped his blond hair and said lazily: "I just came up with an idea. In the words of you Chinese, it's like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. I'm not good at studying cultural relics. Let's leave it to real experts."

He looked left and right, already thinking about how to find an excuse to leave here.His enthusiasm for most things is short-lived, and once he understands the mystery, his curiosity will disappear.Martial arts and Gu Xuyang are the few hobbies he can stick to.

He was a guest and couldn't force him to stay, so Qi Jingtian had no choice but to turn to Lin Wuque for help.The cartoonist, part-time cultural relic appraiser, took off his head-mounted magnifying glass, removed his gloves, and said, "I have a job. It's not my profession. Now that we understand how it works, let other appraisers do it." Research is also possible, right?"

"But..." Qi Jingtian still wanted to keep him.

"Old man, don't be like this! I still have comics serialized! What if I can't submit the manuscript! If you don't get the manuscript, it's a trivial matter, but disappointing the readers is a big problem!"

When he said that, Qi Jingtian could no longer kidnap him morally, so he had to call the secretary depressedly and ask him to contact experts from the Archeology Department of Yinghai City University to study.Gu Xiaofei took the opportunity to attach himself to Lin Wuque's ear, and whispered, "No one reads your comics, right? There are not many monthly tickets, so stop as soon as you stop."

Lin Wuque stomped on his foot hard, and Gu Xiaofei screamed, attracting the attention of Qi Chong and Chen Haokong.

"I'm cramping." Gu Xiaofei forced a smile on his face.

"Senior Qi, can I stay and study this sword manual together?" Xiao Xuechen said suddenly.

Just now when everyone was amazed at the magic in the painting, Xiao Xuechen stared at the figure reflected on the thermos bottle silently, seeming to be thinking and realizing.

Chen Haokong said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, why should you be so impatient? Since the senior Qi has promised to disclose the secrets in the painting, it is better to wait for the experts to study and sort out the sword manual. Even if I wait for laymen to follow the research, it will probably only add to the chaos."

Qi Jingtian still felt guilty towards Xiao Xuechen, and said softly: "It's okay. Xiao Shaoxia is proficient in swordsmanship, so it's reasonable to want to see the mystery of the sword manual for the first time. You can read it if you want."

Xiao Xuechen turned around to study the sword manual upon hearing that.Seeing this, Chen Haokong smiled and said: "I always thought that Brother Xiao didn't care about such extraneous things, but I didn't expect that he also has a martial idiot side."

Qi Chong had a gloating expression, and whistled to Gu Xiaofei: "Your hero Xiao will not want you when he sees the sword manual."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Xuechen caught Xiao Xuechen's sharp eyes.Qi Chong swallowed his saliva, thinking that he was not concentrating on the sword manual, and he could still hear other people talking?How much does this take?

"I was joking..." he muttered.

Qi Jingtian wanted to keep a few guests for dinner, but Lu Yi was in a slump, so he didn't force them to keep the guests.Afterwards, he asked Xiao Xuechen worriedly: "Does the Sword Master despise this old man's poor hospitality?"

"There is absolutely no such thing." Xiao Xuechen was categorical, "He has a high vision, wherever he goes, he feels that the hospitality is not good, and you are not the only one."

Qi Jingtian: "..."

It happened that Xiaoqi called and sternly told Gu Xiaofei to go back to work in the store, so Gu Xiaofei also bid farewell to the master's house and prepared to leave.Qi Jingtian asked his servant to prepare a car to take him for a ride.

Xiao Xuechen sent Gu Xiaofei to the door. "I'm afraid I will stay here for the next few days to study the sword manual." He touched Gu Xiaofei's hand apologetically, "I seem to be able to comprehend something from it. It's not that I deliberately snubbed you, but..."

"It's okay, you can study with peace of mind." Gu Xiaofei said generously, "Actually, I think it's good for you to do this. Put all your energy into studying martial arts, and you won't think about those sad things."

Xiao Xuechen slightly opened his eyes wide: "I'm not sad."

"Don't deceive yourself. If you can deceive yourself, can you also deceive me?" Gu Xiaofei grinned, "I really should give you a mirror to let you see what you looked like before. Anyone who is not blind can see How sad you are."

Xiao Xuechen stared at the ground speechlessly.

Gu Xiaofei suddenly leaned over to hug him, tiptoed, and rested his chin on his shoulder. "But you are very happy when you are studying the sword manual. I know that when you focus on martial arts, you look tense, but you are actually very relaxed. Because that is what you really like. I hope you can be more happy."

Then he muttered dissatisfiedly, "If Xiaoqi hadn't told me to go back... Well, I'm also an employee in the store, so it's not good for her to be a girl to do all the work."

"Just resign."

"Then I won't be unemployed!" Gu Xiaofei said in horror, "Whoever pays me my salary will pay me five social insurances and one housing fund!"

Xiao Xuechen kissed Gu Xiaofei's hair, and secretly laughed, thinking that you have become famous, what can you do to earn more than being a waiter in a cat cafe?But he didn't say it, but hid his smile in the boy's hair.Gu Xiaofei never thought of taking advantage of his fame to gain benefits. The martial arts conference was an unexpected adventure for him, not a way to the pinnacle of life. He only needs to gain happiness and lessons. This is why Xiao Xuechen loves Gu Xiaofei deeply. one of the places.

Gu Xiaofei hugged Xiao Xuechen for a while, and suddenly saw Qi Chong and Chen Haokong coming out to see him off, and subconsciously pushed Xiao Xuechen away.He was not used to the intimate relationship between himself and Xiao Xuechen, and he still acted like a guilty conscience, for fear that others would misunderstand them.After thinking about it, they didn't do anything wrong, so why were they afraid of being seen?But he had already pushed Xiao Xuechen away, and it was hard to stop.

Xiao Xuechen grabbed his arm, roughly pulled him back into his arms, put one arm around the boy's waist, turned his head slowly, and calmly faced the two friends, frightening them with his eyes: "What are you looking at? I haven't seen a gay man before." ah?

***

8 of Spades struggled to squeeze his fat body into the sewer.This ancient and deep tunnel has been abandoned for many years, full of dust, dirt, cobwebs and rat excrement, and a disgusting stench floats in the air.According to the new boss, it was built by the Germans during the Republic of China.The rigorous Germans repaired the underground drainage system in all directions, some of which have been abandoned, but the other part is still in operation today.

This sewer obviously belongs to the former.Thank goodness.The 8 of spades doesn't want to take shit.

The new boss said that it leads to Chongshan Prison, and there is only a wall separating it from the sewer there. The wall is so thin that even a person with weak internal strength can destroy it with a single palm.Eight of Spades is part of the Pathfinder team, whose mission is to find that thin wall and destroy it as quietly as possible.Then they just have to wait for the new boss to arrive.His new boss, Wen Zhuoyi, would rush over to join them after finishing the tasks at hand, and then together they would storm Chongshan Prison, rescue the imprisoned leader of the Demon Cult, make a comeback, and revive... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhd-hand-hand-hand.

Along with 8 of Spades, there are five other members of the Pathfinding Team, four of whom are remnants of the Demon Cult summoned by Wen Zhuoyi. 8 of Spades is not familiar with them, but judging by their hard-fought and bitter-hearted appearances, they must be Hiding in Tibet had a bad time, eager to find the leader, and revived (this word is quite appropriate for them).8 of Spades has some regrets.At first he followed that woman to Wen Zhuoyi, just because he didn't want to be controlled by the Ace of Hearts, but now he was commanded by Wen Zhuoyi to carry out a dangerous mission.If he had known this, he would have honestly followed the Ace of Hearts.

Qiu Tongyun joked that he was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, "You are willing to sell drugs, but you dare not go to prison?", but 8 of Spades felt that the two cannot be compared.Prison robbery is much more terrifying.The only reason that prompted him to take the risk was Wen Zhuoyi's promise that after the leader regained his freedom, he would teach him peerless martial arts and keep him rich and prosperous for the rest of his life.

The last person in the Pathfinder team, 8 of Spades, did not know him.It's not that 8 of Spades has a wide circle of friends, but that the person is very famous.8 of Spades never dreamed that the famous "Young Knight" Lu Ziyu would join the ranks of prison robbery.Doesn't he often go on shows, do charity, and teach martial arts justice?How did you get mixed up with the remnants of the Demon Cult?It's worse than 8 of spades!

Lu Ziyu in real life is not as sunny as on TV.His expression was gloomy, his eyes were dim, and he often stared at his companions vigilantly, as if he was afraid that they would stab him in the back.8 of Spades doesn't understand what happened to him to become like this, or is this the real Lu Ziyu, and the image of the sunny, benevolent and righteous knight on TV is just a show?

A group of people walked along the dry sewer.8 of Spades and Lu Ziyu are at the bottom.Others laughed at 8 of Spades for being too fat and tolerated him being behind.They didn't know that none of them could match this fat man's dexterity.The 8 of Spades is happy that this group of Demon Cult remnants underestimate themselves.Lightness kung fu is his trump card, how can he show his trump card until the end?

Lu Ziyu lagged behind entirely because he didn't want to mix with the remnants of the Demon Cult, and would rather travel with Fatty.8 of Spades felt that he was pretending to be aloof.

"I said, Xiao Lu, why do you hang out with Wen Zhuoyi?" 8 of Spades pretended to be overwhelmed and out of breath, and asked Lu Ziyu, "Aren't you a famous martial artist? You are also a person on the right path. That Wen Zhuoyi is from the Demon Cult!"

Lu Ziyu smiled suspiciously. "I'm not a star, I'm just a dog raised by others. Use fame and fortune to tie my neck, let me dress up beautifully and make money for them. Once I have no use value, stop the loss in time. Kick me off."

The hand he was holding on to the wall of the sewer suddenly clenched, "I hate the person who took everything from me, and I hate myself even more. Wen Zhuoyi said that he can help me avenge me, and he can also help me control my own destiny."

I don't know if Wen Zhuoyi can help you control your own destiny, but your destiny is now in Wen Zhuoyi's hands.8 of Spades peeked at the young man and thought.

"What about you? You are the top figure in the most wanted list of poker cards, why do you hang out with Wen Zhuoyi? The Demon Cult is certainly powerful, but you are not the most wanted people in the most wanted list of poker cards, right?"

"Oh, don't mention it, I was bluffed in by that woman Qiu Tongyun." 8 of Spades was heartbroken, "My former boss was eccentric, and I wanted to join the Ming Lord, so I came here with Qiu Tongyun to join Wen Zhuoyi. I know that his temperament is also eccentric. If he didn't say that the leader of the Demon Cult has a deposit in a Swiss bank, he will have a share when he meets him, and the leader can teach me martial arts, so I wouldn't come here!"

"I don't know if the leader has any savings, but hasn't the martial arts of the leader been abolished by the former martial arts leader Su Yunyue? How can I teach you martial arts?"

"Maybe he has mental formulas or something..." Hearing what Lu Ziyu said, 8 of Spades suddenly felt bad. Wen Zhuoyi could have drawn him a big cake and tricked him into robbing the prison, right?

Fortunately, he didn't tell other people that he was very good at light work.If Wen Zhuoyi plots against him, he will put oil on the soles of his feet.In this world, besides the boss Ace of Hearts and that mysterious kid Gu Xiaofei, 8 of Spades doesn't believe there are other people who can catch up to him.

The Demon Cult remnants in front suddenly stopped in their tracks.8 of Spades swayed his fat body, leaned over and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"Here we are, here it is." A Demon Sect disciple said.

The sewer made a 90° bend here, and the wall in front of them was the thin wall Wen Zhuoyi had mentioned.

Everyone knocked on the wall lightly, and they heard an echo from behind.As long as you break through this wall, you can enter the sewer system of Chongshan Prison.

"The others back off." The leading disciple of the Devil's Cult said, "Lu Ziyu, come here."

"Me?" Lu Ziyu said reluctantly.

"Is your internal strength okay? Come here and smash this wall." The Demon Cult disciple arrogantly ordered, "Be careful not to use too much force, but to shatter gently, otherwise the loud noise will attract the attention of the higher-ups."

"Why don't you go up in person?" Lu Ziyu asked.

"Didn't I reward you with a chance to make meritorious deeds? You were not a member of our God Cult, and your qualifications are the lowest. Are you not happy about giving you a chance to show your loyalty?"

The demon disciple winked at his companion, and the others quickly surrounded Lu Ziyu, forcing him to come forward.

The 8 of spades has been seen through.These remnants of the Devil's Cult didn't mean to let Lu Ziyu do meritorious service at all, but asked him to take the lead. Once the situation changed or the matter was revealed, they could abandon Lu Ziyu and escape at any time.

Lu Ziyu snorted through his nose, and saw through their malice.With fewer enemies and more enemies, his odds of winning are weak, and it is impossible to turn back after the matter has come to this point, so he can only bite the bullet and obey orders.He leaned his hands against the wall, doing exercises to raise his energy, and with a slight shock, the dirt and dust between the bricks fell down, and the bricks became loose.

"Hurry up!" the Demon Cult disciple shouted lightly.

Lu Ziyu pressed his palms hard and was shocked again.A brick fell with a "plop".He didn't dare to use any more force, for fear that the wall would collapse just like that.

"Okay, you get back," the demon disciple said again, "Fatty man, come here and push the bricks away with your bare hands, don't make too much noise, do you hear me?"

After using Lu Ziyu, it's the 8 of spades.This is not surprising either.8 of Spades walked to the brick wall while cursing, pulled a face, angrily pulled off a brick, and put it aside.The bricks made a "dong" sound, which echoed in the sewer.The Demon Sect disciple immediately frowned: "You want to die? Be gentle!"

"Okay, okay..." 8 of Spades muttered.

This time he carefully removed a brick and gently placed it on the ground.The moment he let go, there was only a loud bang, and the brick wall collapsed in an instant, turning into thousands of dust!

8 of Spades was dumbfounded, standing in the dusty sky, and after a few seconds, he could barely make a sound: "I didn't mean to!"

"It's not your fault, I did it."

A man in white came out slowly, as if walking leisurely on the smashed bricks.He looks about 30 years old, and in the eyes of 8 of Spades, he can be regarded as handsome and handsome. The strange thing is that he is in the sewer, but he is holding an umbrella in his hand!

What performance art!

The 8 of Spades rushed back, posing for a fight, and Lu Ziyu and the four Demon Sect disciples also showed their weapons.This man came from the Chongshan Prison on the other side of the brick wall. His attire did not look like that of an escaped prisoner, so he was most likely a prison guard!

Are their actions exposed?

"It's you, 'Yunxinheyan' Fang Xinhe." Lu Ziyu said in a deep voice.

"Isn't this Lu Shaoxia? You must have some leisure to see each other here." Fang Xinhe said with a smile.

"Let's withdraw quickly," Lu Ziyu said, "The plan has been revealed, and the enemy is outnumbered. If we don't withdraw at this time, we can't leave!"

The demon disciples looked at each other, and the leader nodded, agreeing with Lu Ziyu's opinion.

"It's already here, don't rush away." Fang Xinhe put away his umbrella and used it as a crutch to support his body, "Don't worry, I'm the only one."

Seeing that he was alone, the disciples of the Devil's Cult dispersed in unison, surrounding Fang Xinhe in the center.8 of Spades Seeing that they moved in a tacit pace, they guessed that this might be some kind of formation of the Devil's Cult.

"Beware of deceit!" he cried. "How could he be alone! There must be an accomplice hiding in the dark!"

"I'm wronged! I'm really the only one, don't you believe me!" Fang Xinhe said aggrievedly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Come on, everyone!" the Demon Sect disciple shouted.

Fang Xinhe inserted the umbrella into the pile of bricks, grasped the handle of the umbrella and twisted it lightly, and pulled out a rapier as thin as a cicada's wing from the umbrella!

"I can deal with all of you alone, so why bother?"
