Chapter 49: Closed Door Meditation

  The live broadcast on TV continued, and the host read from the previously prepared script: "The return of national treasures symbolizes the glorious tradition of the Chinese nation, the children of China..." As he said this, the man had already run off-screen with the brocade box in his arms. The host subconsciously exclaimed, "What's going on? Director, director!"

  At this time, the scene was still solemn, the honor guard was still playing music, and Ma Lai Shui continued to move forward with a bowing gesture until the man rushed out of the crowd. It wasn't until then that Ma Lai Shui realized his arms were empty. He looked back in confusion, several city leaders and museum directors stopped in their tracks, looking at each other in dismay. The music screeched to a halt as one of the trumpet players hit a wrong note. The onlookers began to murmur among themselves...

  The Malay water was originally held in both hands with a brocade box, but now the person is gone and the box is empty. He was stunned for a moment, helplessly holding out his two empty arms to the municipal party secretary, as if waiting for an explanation. The municipal party secretary imitated him by spreading open his hands, equally perplexed. The host forced himself to calm down and said: "Uh, let's see if the organizer has arranged some special ceremony..."

  At this time, someone finally shouted: "The national treasure has been stolen!" Ma Lai Shui was stunned, the municipal party secretary sat on the ground with a thud, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Several people went to support the secretary on the ground, and the secretary waved his arms and shouted angrily: "Why don't you go after him?" For a while, the armed police, police, and security guards were shouting and chasing, and some people rushed into the police car, but the person who had stolen it was already gone without a trace...

  The host looked at the chaotic scene, six spirits without a master, and suddenly spoke in ungrammatical Mandarin: "Ah this... director, what's going on now? Director, you bastard, say something!"

  The anchor was probably also trying to think of a way to deal with him, and finally had no choice but to switch to the commercial for this time slot. The screen changed, showing a man and woman sitting on either side of a bed, both looking worried and upset. A voiceover said: "What to do in case of an unexpected pregnancy? Come quickly to the Metropolis Women's Hospital."

  The old demon of Hei Shan laughed so hard he was almost out of breath: "Haha, humans are really too entertaining."

  Lao Wu stared at her and thought: "How could such a thing happen?"

  Jin Chengwu also looked stunned and said: "In such a situation, that kid actually dared to rob, this is too talented."

  Old Wu said: "There are at least two battalions of police and armed police on the scene, mainly because this guy didn't play by the rules, who would have thought that he would just take it and run so openly?"

  "Anyway, this kid can really run fast."

  Su Jing suddenly said: "All of you are wrong."

  Everyone turned around: "What?"

  Su Jingdao: "He was able to succeed because he ran fast, but he was able to run fast because of Xiao Long."

  "What's it got to do with me?"

  Su Jingdao said: "This person emerged from the crowd, took something and ran. This matter seems simple, but in fact it requires great strength. He first emerged from the dense crowd, then crossed through the wall of soldiers, snatched the treasure, and escaped from the crowd again. His idea is indeed shocking and unexpected, but speed is the key!" Su Jing looked at me with a definition, "No surprise, he should have taken away part of your power - speed!"

  I held my head in distress and said, "How can I explain this clearly?" When others fight, you hand over the knife and get caught, it's a serious crime. Today's matter is even more severe, and as an accomplice, I'm doomed to take the fall.

  Su Jing's expression remained calm as he said, "Xiao Long, our matter can't be delayed any further. I'm going to go into seclusion."

  "I asked in puzzlement: 'What did you go into seclusion for?'"

  Su Jingdao said, "I need to think about how to retrieve your powers. For now, you should find that person from earlier and wait for me to come out of my seclusion before we go together. However, you cannot leave this house yet. In case of danger, I can protect you completely."

  I spread out my hands and said: "You can't even get out of the door, how am I supposed to find you?"

  Su Jingdao said, "Isn't your father very influential? Borrowing his influence, I'll give you a hint: do you still remember those thieves we met on the bus last time? One of them, called Di Shu, mysteriously disappeared. My intuition tells me that this matter is related to him, because ordinary people wouldn't think of targeting national treasures even if they discovered they had special powers. He must be doing this because of his identity and occupational habits."

  "How long have you been in seclusion?"

  Su Jingdao said: "5 days later, no matter what the result is, I will definitely go out."

  "Oh." I nodded and said: "Is it necessary to lock you up in a small room with mud or something?"

  Su Jingdao said: "No need."

  "What about your meal?"

  "I will naturally come when you eat."

  I scratched my head and said, "Is this still a closed door?"

  "Everyone just remember one thing, try not to talk to me for these 5 days, even if we run into each other face-to-face, don't greet me, that's all."

  Everyone said: "Got it."

  "I said: 'Then you go upstairs.'"

  Su Jingdao said, "No need, it's fine here." Su Jing waved his hand to the crowd, "Everyone, see you in 5 days."

  She didn't say a word to the crowd, Su Jing closed her eyes slightly and sat still. I carefully walked up to her side and found that her breathing was normal, and the elasticity and temperature of her skin hadn't changed at all. She sat in the chair for a while, then suddenly opened her eyes, which gave me a fright. But what caught my attention was that Su Jing's autumn water scissors pupil eyes seemed slightly empty at this moment, just like someone who was lost in thought. I waved my hand in front of her eyes, and her eyelids would still blink, but there were no more movements after that.

  I stood behind her and shouted to the crowd: "What kind of closed-door meeting is this?"

  Bu Xiang Duan Tian Ya looked at Su Jing's eyes, but saw an expression of utmost admiration and envy, and sighed deeply: "The Sword God is indeed the Sword God, their realm is truly different!"

  "What does it mean?"

  Duan Tianya said: "What you just said about locking people in a small house, that kind of closed door, is an ordinary person's closed door. However, this 'ordinary' only applies to the Sword God. Closed doors have no weak hands, and those who need to use quiet contemplation to consider problems and elevate their cultivation are generally high-ranking masters who have entered the hall. When they close their doors, they absolutely do not allow others to disturb them, and some cannot even tolerate a little noise. Therefore, people often choose to close their doors in secluded mountain valleys and cliffs. But it seems that Su Sword God has already transcended this restriction, reaching the realm of forgetting oneself and merging with heaven and man. Even closed doors can be unencumbered, and bustling cities and mountain valleys are no different to her. The noise of merchants and the crying of children is like the quiet rustling of leaves in a valley, and she can immerse herself in it while her spirit wanders outside. Truly admirable!"

  I said: "Now if someone were to kill her, wouldn't they be getting a great bargain?"

  Duan Tianya said, "It's not that easy, once she senses the sword energy, she'll naturally come back to her senses. Moreover, although a person in closed cultivation may have their sense of sight, smell, and hearing degenerate, their consciousness becomes even more sensitive, and it's impossible to deceive her if someone approaches nearby."

  I rolled my eyes and said, "It's hard for you to worship her like that. If you had known she was so strong, wouldn't you have not come?"

  "I accepted this task for a major reason, which is to take a look at you and Su Jian Shen. The so-called Sword God is a rare talent in both continents, and it's a great opportunity for me to witness the elegance of the Sword God."

  "Hey, don't forget why you're here!"

  Duan Tianya said: "I can't kill you, and it's okay if I'm killed by you. Walking the rivers and lakes, especially in our line of work, sooner or later there will be a day like this. Being able to die at the hands of the Sword God is not necessarily a bad ending, unfortunately..." Duan Tianya didn't finish his sentence, obviously still resentful about being ambushed by San Kuaizi as soon as he appeared.

  I smiled and said: "Did I disappoint you?"

  Duan Tianya sighed, "There's definitely disappointment, but your current loss of martial arts doesn't count. When you recover your sword energy, I hope you won't forget our duel. Hopefully, Su Jian Shen's closed-door training will yield a result."

  "Is closed-door training really that amazing?"

  Duan Tianya said, "To put it bluntly, closed cultivation is nothing more than thinking about problems. However, once one's strength reaches a certain level, their consciousness can be separated from their body and exist independently. Closed cultivation is simply the process of using this independent consciousness to think in conjunction with the body, and its effects are something that ordinary people cannot achieve no matter how hard they try."

  "Kumdo has a lot in common with our training."

  Old Wu said to Hei Shan Lao Yao: "You listen more often, I found that you are always distracted when practicing."

  At this time, Su Jing suddenly stood up, and I subconsciously said: "Where are you going?"

  Duan Tianya said: "Don't talk to her."

  Su Jing ignored me, her body was like a cloud and mist, she took a cup from the table, poured herself a glass of water, drank it slowly, and sat back in her original position. It turned out that although her mind had already wandered far away, her body could still take care of its own needs, but it was completely in an unconscious state.

  "Duan Tianya sighed and said: 'The Sword God Realm is truly breathtaking!'"

  "What a load of crap!" I said: "Isn't being able to photosynthesize with flowers and grasses the same? Right, isn't this just an advanced plant person?"
