The skin of Lin Xian's neck was fair, soft, and velvety, and his eyes were drawn to her as if attracted by a magnet. Zhang Jun could not help but focus his eyes again, so he could see Lin Xian's clear silken back and beautifully curved shoulders through her clothes, which made his hands tremble a little.

As he gently kneaded her neck, a fantastic ray of golden energy, fine as silk thread, shot out from his left eye into Lin Xian's nape.

Zhang Jun was in a daze for a moment and wondered what the ray was that appeared just now.

At this time, however, Lin Xian let out a sigh of comfort and said, "How I feel at ease and comfortable. Your ma.s.sage technique is really brilliant, Junior."

Zhang Jun was a little stirred. He thought to himself, "Is it that golden ray that came into play?"

Thinking about this, he focused again on Lin Xian's neck. Sure enough, in about ten seconds, a golden ray came out of his left eye again and pierced her skin. This time, he was prepared to observe the direction of the golden ray with his power of X-ray vision.

So he saw the golden ray seeping into the nearby muscles and blood vessels after it pierced Lin Xian's skin, making a strange change in them. It seemed that her muscles were stronger and her blood vessels became more resilient.

"Could it mean that the golden ray from my left eye can cure injuries and diseases, and even strengthen people's const.i.tution?" Zhang Jun meditated.

Thus, he secretly experimented with his ability of x-ray vision and the golden ray from his left eye while ma.s.saging. He could confirm by experiments that his X-ray vision was within a range of only about one meter. He couldn't put his X-ray vision ability to use for objectives farther away.

In addition, X-Ray vision could be applied only when he could focus both eyes on the object and concentrate his mind. Moreover, once he had focused his eyes for 10 seconds, his left eye would automatically emit golden rays.

These golden rays could obviously treat the injuries of human tissue, and might even strengthen the const.i.tution of the humans. As for the latter, it remained unclear yet so far, and he had to verify it further.

Zhang Jun kneaded Lin Xian's shoulder and sniffed the body fragrance of the beauty. He could already be aware of the reaction from his private parts. He scolded himself secretly for his futility. How could he not be able to resist such a temptation?

As Lin Xian just felt a drowsy comfort all over, she could not help leaning on Zhang Jun and said lightly, "Please do me a favour and give me more ma.s.sage, Junior."

Zhang Jun was very eager to do so, and he worked harder. Before long, Lin Xian, who was comfortable all over, fell asleep into a sweet dream.

Although Zhang Jun was no Liu Xiahui (a man who can not be disturbed by a beautiful woman even on his lap or a man wearing Joseph's coat), he was not a shameless skirt-chaser, either, so he placed the pillow on the bed and gently put her on the bed without taking the opportunity for molestation.

While Lin Xian was asleep, Zhang Jun took time to conduct more experiments testing his ability of X-ray vision. He went to the window for a while and then to the door of the compartment to check on everything that could be seen through by X-ray.

He summed up the characteristics of his x-ray vision ability in three aspects. The first was micro-vision, that is to say, he could see the smallest part of a substance even to the molecular level. The second was night vision, which meant he could see everything clearly in the dark. For example, he was able to see Lin Xian's muscles and blood vessels and did it without any help of illuminant.

The third aspect was the big improvement of his dynamic vision. When he looked through the window at the outside scenery going backward rapidly, he found its movement became very slow in his eyes.

While experimenting with the wonderful effect of X-ray vision, Zhang Jun was attacked by a sudden dizziness and felt extremely feeble all over. He felt surprised to himself, "Was it because of the overuse of my X-ray vision ability?"

He went back to his sleeping berth and slowly sat down to rest. He closed his eyes because of the dizziness. Once he did so, he immediately saw a luminous golden ball spinning between his eyebrows, continuously releasing a golden glow.

Downward through the eyebrows, the radiance descended through Tanzhong Point in the chest, then fell into Dantian. Again it descended from Dantian to coccyx, via which position it ascended the spine and reached the hindbrain all the way to form a large circulation.

Zhang Jun's dizziness disappeared after such a circulation. And when he concentrated on observing the glowing golden ball between his eyebrows, he found it looked like a human eyeball.

Eyeball? Wait!

Zhang Jun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly touched his chest to feel for the stone which had been bought for five yuan. He searched for a while but did not find the stone bead. He could not help but feel inwardly surprised.

"Is the glowing ball between my eyebrows the stone bead? And did I gain my X-ray vision ability because of it?

He thought about the whole thing over and over, finally he decided that was a great possibility. Otherwise, how could the stone disappear suddenly? And why was the glowing golden ball between his eyebrows so similar to the stone bead? He speculated that the stone bead he bought ran into his head while he was sleeping and gave him the ability of x-ray vision he now possessed.

Moreover, the stone bead could also release golden energy, which can cure illness and even strengthen people's const.i.tution.

"I never expected to encounter such a miracle! My life will change from now on with my ability of x-ray vision!" Zhang Jun suddenly felt an upsurge of emotion and clenched his fist with excitement.

For a while he got the idea that by this ability he could make a great fortune in a casino. And for another while, it occurred to him that he would surely become a billionaire if engaging his ability in the industry of stone gambling.

He also imagined that he could freely enjoy a full feast to eyes by appreciating naked beauties dangling in front of him in the future.

But gradually, Zhang Jun calmed down. He knew that he must never tell others, nor let others find out his ability of X-ray vision. Otherwise, there would be a good chance of catastrophic disaster.

"It seems that I should keep a low profile later on. It would be all right for me to make a fortune quietly and not casually thrust myself into the limelight." He thought.

Zhang Jun was well aware that if intentional people got to know his ability of X-ray vision, they would certainly want to make fortune with the help of his strength, and if he was unwilling to go in cahoots with them, his life would be in great danger. More serious was that, if the government got to know that he had this ability, he would perhaps be arrested for research without mercy. What a tragedy it would be!

"At first I was going to make a big profit on the Stone Gambling Festival. Now it seems unwise for me to show off. What's more, I'm not quite sure whether there will be any side effects if one possesses the ability of X-ray vision, so I can't make use of it so casually at present."

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun made a plan for himself to further verify his X-ray vision ability and figure out its functions and the effects it will produce.

Two hours went by unconsciously. Lin Xian woke up. She opened her eyes, looking at Zhang Jun, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Junior! I really had a very good sleep."

Zhang Jun laughed and responded, "It's my honor to be at your service, Senior."

Lin Xian sat up on her berth, combed her hair, then c.o.c.ked her head and laughed, saying, "It doesn't hurt at all. The ma.s.sage you gave me is really useful." Then suddenly something occurred to her. She asked Zhang Jun, "Where did you learn ma.s.sage, Junior? Will it be useful for gunshot wounds?"

Zhang Jun was shocked, "Gunshot wound? Have you ever got shot, Senior?"

Lin Xian laughed and said, "How could I get shot? It was an uncle of mine who had fought in the war and suffered gunshot wounds. Every time the weather changes to rainy or cloudy days, he suffered terrible pain. I guess your ma.s.sage works very well, so I just ask you about it.

Thinking of the golden radiance shooting out from his left eye, Zhang Jun said, "There might be some possibilities of cure if he receives ma.s.sage."

Lin Xian's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great! Next time when you're free, I hope you can go to the capital with me to give it a try."

Zhang Jun was now unemployed and had plenty of time. So he smiled and said, "I am an idler, I will be on call at any time, Senior."
