Just when I was puzzled, Li Mao continued to explain.
"Although I mainly learn grappling and fighting, in fact... it's because I don't have the talent to learn internal martial arts. My ancestors were actually residents of Chenjiagou."
oh?
I was suddenly surprised.
"Descendant of Chen's Tai Chi?"
Li Mao waved his hand.
"My grandma's grandfather was a resident of Chenjiagou. Of course, he was not directly related to that lineage. He was just an ordinary distant branch, so there was also Chen style Tai Chi passed down from family to family. Unfortunately, it was passed down to my generation, and basically none of it is left. That’s a lot of real stuff, and since I’m not very talented, I only learned a little bit…”
I see!
I nodded.
Chen style Tai Chi is famous among all internal martial arts schools!
Tai Chi was created by Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang... This kind of story is enough to deceive ordinary people. Everyone in the real Xuanmen world knows that this boxing method has only been around for more than two hundred years.
It had always been a family secret before, but it really flourished after Yang Luchan, the great master of martial arts in the late Qing Dynasty, studied in Chenjiagou.
Yang Luchan, known as Yang Invincible, has unbelievable boxing and martial arts skills!
As an ordinary person, he was treated as a distinguished guest by the leader of the Taoist sect [Longhu Mountain], and he had a close relationship with Tianshi Guan, the leader of Longhu Mountain at that time, which shows his strength...
The source of Yang Style Tai Chi is Chen Style Tai Chi!
Unexpectedly, Li Mao's maternal line can be traced back to Chenjiagou, which can be regarded as a branch of a famous family?
But what does this have to do with finding me?
Looking at my still confused expression, Li Mao explained.
"Because when I was a child, I heard from my mother that the inner boxing and martial arts have reached a relatively high level, and the physical fitness has improved in all aspects. When the energy is exerted, the blood around the body rolls, and evil spirits can be warded off. Therefore, the masters of the inner boxing can also deter the sneaky, so I... …”
I see!
After hearing what he said, I understood.
Although Li Mao didn't know that I knew Xuanmen magic, he knew that I was very skilled in martial arts.
And because of his family background, he knew that masters of internal boxing could use their own fist power and the power of Qi and blood to deal with demons!
So when Li Mao felt that Zhang Qingyuan was murdered by someone sneaky, he wanted to come to me privately and try his luck.
I have to say, he found the right person!
I still have great respect for Zhang Qingyuan, an old principal of Yucheng No. 1 Middle School.
Especially in the past few meetings with the old man, he seemed amiable and not arrogant because he was a retired senior official...
If he is really knocked evil, then I will definitely be able to solve it.
So I said with a smile.
"Okay, since Brother Li has come to the door, I will naturally help the old principal treat his illness. But, how can you be sure that he is suffering from evil spirits and encountering dirty things, rather than a normal disease?"
When Li Mao saw that I agreed, he was overjoyed and held my hand with both hands.
"Thank you, Brother Wu! Come on, let's talk while walking."
I followed him out of the woods and walked toward the home for retired employees' families outside the north gate of No. 1 Middle School. I also learned about Zhang Qingyuan's situation along the way...
It happened a week ago.
That night, before Zhang Qingyuan went to bed, he went for a walk in the garden outside the house and strolled around a few times.
After all, he is a retired high-ranking official, so the house he was given is quite large, a small villa. There is a private garden of more than 200 square meters outside the living room. He usually likes to stroll in the garden before going to bed...
Because he was at home, and he could see Li Mao in the garden through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room when he turned his head. So Zhang Qingyuan's family didn't care, and there was no need for Li Mao to accompany him at night - he lived not far away.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingyuan walked around the garden for a few times and suddenly let out an angry scolding. Then he fell straight down...
Zhang Qingyuan's family members in the living room were immediately frightened and ran out quickly. He was found unconscious on the lawn.
Fortunately, the lawn is relatively soft, otherwise if he fell down like this, he would definitely be injured!
The family quickly called Li Mao and called an ambulance to take him to the emergency room of the special needs ward of the nearest tertiary hospital...
The next morning, Zhang Qingyuan woke up, but his expression became very strange.
A little cold, a little dull.
Always looking askance at people.
At first, everyone thought it was because he was unhappy that no one was following him to look after him, so he was in a bad mood, so they stayed with Smiley Face.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingyuan always looked gloomy, had a bad temper, and scolded people at every turn.
This was impossible before!
Because although he held a high position when he was young, he has always been a good-tempered person. Regardless of whether he treats relatives, friends or subordinates, he treats people like a refreshing breeze and will never be so harsh.
Li Mao also speculated whether it was possible that he hit his head when he fell, causing some mental and emotional problems...
However, I also had a brain CT scan, an MRI, and a group consultation with brain and psychiatry experts, but no lesions were found!
Two days later, Zhang Qingyuan began to skip meals, became extremely thin, and turned blue...sometimes he would walk around the living room without turning on the lights in the middle of the night, making weird and creepy laughter.
This frightened his family, because he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease?
But Li Mao gradually felt that the old director might have been possessed by evil spirits!
He carefully recalled the various strange incidents of encountering evil spirits at night and being haunted by ghosts that he heard from the elders in his family when he was a child in the countryside...
After this idea came together, he looked more and more like it!
After thinking over and over again, Li Mao was ready to come to me first to check on the situation. If that still doesn't work, he plans to think of another way to see if he can find some strange people in the world...
After listening to Li Mao's story, I felt confident.
"Eighty percent of it is really evil!"
However, you have to go and see it in practice.
Seeing that he had arrived in front of Zhang Qingyuan's small villa, Li Mao suddenly stopped again, rubbed his hands and said hesitantly.
"By the way, Brother Wu, there's something..."
"What's wrong?"
"The old director himself has no prejudice against all kinds of strange people. But his family, especially the two sons who are now the masters of the family, are staunch atheists. If they talk about evil spirits and the like, they may They will sneer at them. So if you slight Brother Wu, please take the old director’s face into account and don’t argue with them.”
No wonder Li Mao came to me privately about this matter without bringing Zhang Qingyuan’s family with him. Dare’s family didn’t believe it at all!
I guess it was because Li Mao respected this old man that he asked me to come, so he took it upon himself to do it.
I smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I understand. Brother Li, you don't have to worry. When the facts are before their eyes, they will not believe it. What's more, the old principal's two sons should have some identities, right?"
"Yes, the eldest son, Mr. Zhang Weiguo, is a civilian support staff of the police, and the second son, Zhang Weimin, also works in the education system, and his level is not low."
What's the difference?
That's more convenient!
Ding dong, ding dong...
Li Mao rang the doorbell of Zhang Qingyuan's house.
About ten seconds later, the door opened.
A middle-aged man with a majestic appearance appeared behind the door - if you guessed correctly, this was Zhang Qingyuan's eldest son Zhang Weiguo.
"Lao Li, are you back?"
"Um."
Zhang Weiguo's eyes fell on me, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.
"Old Li, this little classmate is..."
Li Mao answered quickly.
"Brother Zhang, this is the expert I helped the old director find to treat his illness. Wu Zhong, little brother Wu."
Zhang Weiguo's brows suddenly wrinkled, and his originally kind face showed dissatisfaction.
"Lao Li, my dad is already so seriously ill that he can't get up from his bed! Do you still have the nerve to make a joke here? A young man who looks only about seventeen or eighteen years old can cure my dad's illness. ? Even medical experts can’t do anything!”
Maybe it's because his father is bedridden and his temper is a bit irritable.
Li Mao immediately distinguished.
"Brother Zhang, since the medical experts can't help it, let's let Brother Wu try. He is a master of internal martial arts and can be called a young master. He can use the power of Qi and blood to eliminate some evil and sneaky things, maybe... …”
"enough!"
Zhang Weiguo suddenly yelled, a little angry.
"We are all highly educated people. You are talking nonsense about being evil and sneaky! What is your intention when you find a child?"
His words were a bit unpleasant to hear, perhaps a little heart-wrenching, and made Li Mao's face turn red.
So, I snorted, stared at Zhang Weiguo, and said coldly.
"How could such a wise man as old principal Zhang Qingyuan give birth to a son as stupid and rigid as you?"
