LEGENDARY FRONTIER CHAPTER 27 The moment Yan Fei set foot on Ong Chau Island, he suddenly understood Sun En's "Hoang Thien Vo Cuc". It was even clearer that the innate factor of humans belonged to heaven and earth, so he had no way to practice the "Hoang Thien Vo Cuc" move, just like Sun En had no way to practice "Tieu Tam Hop". At the exact moment he followed the western rocky beach to the shore, Sun En's spirit locked onto him. Suddenly, the rocky beach under his feet, the rolling waves behind him, gusts of wind, the sound of the waves like gongs and drums, thousands of horses galloping, the bright moon in the sky, the jagged rocks, undulating like dog teeth on the coastal slopes, and the mountains and hills on the island, in the blink of an eye, everything around him completely disappeared, nothing was left, only Sun En with his boundless and limitless spiritual power remained. Compared to any previous decisive battle, Sun En was now much stronger. He was at his peak state, filled with determination that would not give up easily, and there was not even a trace of hesitation or worry.
LEGENDARY FRONTIER CHAPTER 28 The young nun carried a long sword on her back, softly chanting the Buddha's name with her hands clasped together and said: "Benefactor Yen has finally arrived!" Yan Fei's min suddenly went blank, her hair stood out, staring at the other party as if she still couldn't believe it. The young nun's face was calm and composed, her bald head was shiny and spotless, especially highlighting the smiling features on her face and the eyes that Yan Fei had longed for. The northwest wind blew in gusts, causing her robe to flutter, but her demeanor remained solemn, as if she had severed all ties with the mortal world. Yan Fei's body shook, and she lost her voice: "Ngoc Tinh..." It was indeed An Ngoc Tinh. Yan Fei struggled to say: "What exactly is going on?" An Yuqing's deep and clear eyes stared at him, calm and unwavering, clasped her hands and said: "This little nun has seen the world clearly, and has become a Buddhist nun. Her current dharma name is Siqu. Benefactor Yan, please do not call me by my secular name anymore."
LEGENDARY FRONTIER CHAPTER 05 Ji Tian Tian's joyful and charming voice came from the tent: "It's really been found! Half of it is good! Our boss Liu is really talented". Then he whispered to Xiao Shi and Pang Yi, discussing how to hide the gold. Gao Yan lifted the tent and walked out, coming to Yan Fei's side and asked in a low voice: "Have you kissed her yet?". Yan Fei was in a mess, slightly realizing the meaning of Ji Tian Tian's sentence "will regret the things you want to do but don't do". He knew himself, he was still deeply afraid of male-female relationships, Liu Yu on the other side also showed an expression of attention. He sighed: "You lecherous devil, your temper is uncontrollable, your mind is full of dirty thoughts, all of you are brothers here, I won't hide anything from you, she and I haven't even started yet". For some reason, his intuition felt that Gao Yan and Liu Yu both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. How strange. Gao Yan was fierce: "You brat who doesn't know how to be gentle! Right now our national treasury is empty, just throw away your bet tomorrow! I won't let you lose all of Tian Tian's remaining assets."
This book is primarily intended for looking up Zi Wei Dou Shu terms by users who do not know about ZWDS and beginners rather than a ZWDS chart reading guide book. However, if you have a grasp of the book, you will naturally know how to read a ZWDS chart. It is because the book helps you understand each brick and general structure of a house. Once you have a solid understanding, you can naturally build the house. All learning subjects have static and dynamic aspects. The static part is temporarily acquired by the learner, usually consisting of prerequisites and conceptual definitions. The static part is inherited from previous scholars and classic texts. The dynamic part is the result of the user's experience and the consolidation of knowledge. There are exceptional users who have the ability to revisit and upgrade the static part, such as Albert Einstein. But for most of us, when we first learn, we have to absorb the classical knowledge first and then apply and transform it later. Within the framework of this book, the terms are only explained in the most basic way to give you an idea and visualization, rather than providing complete and perfect explanations.
