Chapter 41: Unable to Become a Monk

Coordinates: Far suburbs of S City.

Location: In the clay pot in the medicinal bath room of Chen Bin's old home.

Time: 2:30 in the morning.

Chen Bin was taking a medicinal bath in the clay pot of the old house. His skin was wrinkled and his whole body felt uncomfortable as if being pricked by needles. The slow cooking was almost killing him. Fortunately, Catalina would secretly come to give him water and fan him, otherwise he would have stopped playing long ago.

Catalina once cried and said that she wanted Isabel to take Chen Bin back because she couldn't bear to see Chen Bin being tortured every day.

However, Chen Bin persuaded her not to make trouble because no one in the world could stop the old man's will, not even Voldemort and Old Dumbledore.

Everything started from the first day of summer vacation.

Chen Bin had already filled his holiday schedule. Ten percent of the time was spent on dealing with enterprises, workshops and financial wars, and the rest of the time was spent on traveling, making salted fish, having fun, eating and drinking, etc.

Who knew that Chen Weiguo glanced at his schedule before leaving, returned to the office to answer a phone call, and ended up here.

Is it too brief? Then we have to start with Chen Bin's great grandfather.

The Chen family belongs to a martial arts family in Guangdong Province. Their ancestors can be traced back to the Chen family in Henan Province during the Northern Song Dynasty. Now the Chen family's ancestral home in the suburbs of KF is still protected by the "Exorcism Spell" of the Chinese Monk Bureau.

The Chen family before the Northern Song Dynasty can also be traced back to the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and further back to the Peiligang culture in the early Neolithic period.

To put it simply, like any Chinese, if you open the family tree, anyone can trace their ancestors back to the Three Kings and Five Emperors period, you know.

Back to the point, Chen Bin's great grandfather was born in the Xianfeng period (1821-1861) and was one of the few famous martial arts families in the south.

Martial arts practitioners are very similar to monks. They can do what ordinary people cannot do, but unlike monks, they do not have many magical powers and spells. Only cultivation and weapons are the foundation of martial arts practitioners' invincibility.

The reason why martial arts practitioners are invincible is that they are powerful and can suppress monks of the same strength. The reason why martial arts practitioners are only invincible is that monks can "shrink the earth into an inch" and escape directly if they cannot win, so it is difficult to kill the opponent.

Therefore, although the monk world recognizes that martial arts practitioners are also a kind of monks, they disdain to associate with them, so martial arts practitioners are often closer to the secular world.

However, there are also many members of the Chen family working in the government offices, envoys, official post stations and other departments in the monk world, and even members of the family serve as lieutenants in the guards.

The Monk Administration Bureau, like the Ministry of Magic in European countries, blocks news of supernatural powers from the secular world, but there has never been a witch-hunting movement in Asia, so there will naturally be no confrontation between cultivators and ordinary people.

In his previous life, Chen Bin had never seen his grandfather, let alone his grandfather. In the previous life, my father said that they died in the war, but the old man in this world is still alive and well, and the grandfather is still vigorous.

In this life, Chen Bin was taken back to his hometown by his father when he was 6 years old to test his talent for muscles and bones, proving that he also has a martial arts physique. It's just that his qualifications are not very high, a little bit better than ordinary people, almost nothing, but he is also considered a member of the monks.

This hometown is different from the previous life. The previous life was a combination of urban and rural areas. In this life, there is still this village, but it is only for non-monk children to live in. The real hometown is inhabited by living ancestors who have lived for many years.

The old house is not really a dilapidated residence, but a traditional building complex. It is a bit like the ancient buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, etc., as well as two large gardens in front and back, and a large martial arts training ground in the north and south. The whole house has at least more than 70 rooms, covering an area close to that of Hogwarts, but the design is certainly not as grand as a castle. At most, it is a large southern manor, and it is blessed with the Eastern "Exorcism Spell".

Old Master Chen, that is, Chen Bin’s great-grandfather, is one of the living ancestors who has always lived here.

Chen Weiguo did not believe that his son could not inherit his legacy, so he would take him to the "ancestral home" every July and August to wash his marrow with Yijing, that is, boil him in a medicine jar.

Who knew that when he was 8 years old, several cousins ​​of the same age in the village surrounded him and laughed for a long time. Chen Bin could not help but knock them over, and finally alarmed Old Master Chen.

Chen Bin was not punished. The ancestors checked his meridians and found that his true qi volume had increased several times, about the meridian width of a ten-year-old clan member.

The medicinal bath was not completely ineffective. Chen Bin’s immersion in the boiling medicine jar could accelerate the true qi absorption rate of the inflated blood curse, but it was not the main reason for Chen Bin’s rapid accumulation of true qi.

After telling the ancestors about the blood curse, they seemed to have discovered a new continent.

Wu Xiu is undefeated but difficult to win, that is, they have no magic.

Chen Bin knew that his grandfather also wanted to have auxiliary means. After obtaining Isabel's consent, he slightly modified the blood curse to become the "magic blood curse" with the opposite function - converting the true qi tank into the magic tank at a conversion rate of 9:1.

The Chen family drew rune arrays for all the elders and taught them how to destroy the runes, otherwise this pitfall conversion rate could not be stopped and it would become a pitfall for the ancestors.

From then on, this magic blood curse became the core secret of the Chen family. The elders must agree to let Chen Bin engrave it for qualified clan members.

Before school started last year, when they came here again, the magic power of the ancestors had reached the level of adult wizards after more than a dozen bloodline breakthroughs, and they learned the content of grades 1-7 and a lot of black magic. Avada Kedavra hits flies accurately, and when he goes to the neighboring country to fight Garuda (a giant divine bird), he can even kill a whole area with one strike, which makes Chen Bin tremble.

In theory, the magic power of Western wizards and the true qi of Eastern monks are almost the same thing. The biggest difference between the two is the cycle of operation. Eastern fantasy emphasizes meridians and dantian, while Western magic is meditation and blood induction.

The wizards who fled to the East and the monks who immigrated to the West also proved that the power in their bodies can be used in the other party's system, but the effect will be greatly reduced.

To use a more realistic metaphor, magic is Western medicine supported by countless theories and data; fantasy is abstract traditional medicine, which uses monarch, minister, assistant and envoy, and talks about dryness, dampness, dryness and heat, without worrying about viruses, antibiotics, microscopes, etc., but it really cures diseases.

Chen Bin once tried to study the monks' magic, but gave up before he finished reading the most introductory scriptures.
