Chapter 228 Ba Fist (please subscribe)
As soon as the group of Oran survivors left, only Ji Xun and Gong Wu were left in the mine.
Those are outsiders.
They seem to be the masters.
Jiuxun jumped off the cliff and stood on the messy ruins. Ji Xun picked up the glowing [turbid crystals of fighting spirit] among the rubble with great interest.
Don't look at it, the most indispensable thing in the mine is this stuff, you can see it everywhere.
But in the outside world, this is high-quality spiritual material that is hard to come by.
And Ji Xun’s own needs are also very large.
After all, he cannot stay in the mines all his life and practice hard. These crystal nuclei are like dry food, which can greatly increase his mental power.
The more, the merrier.
"Hey, there are so many crystal nuclei exploded."
Ji Xun searched everywhere and found a huge harvest.
The seventh floor of this mine is the most polluted, and it also produces the highest quality crystal nuclei in the entire mine.
On the fourth floor, there are mostly diamond-like crystal nuclei.
The size of the fingernail is already the best.
But here, walnut-sized crystal nuclei can be seen everywhere.
Fist-sized crystal nuclei can also be seen occasionally.
In the past two months of staying in the mine, Ji Xun had actually gone through it in his free time, and he also knew that there were more in the rock formations.
Unfortunately, the rock wall becomes harder as you go down the mine. It is comparable to an alloy and is very difficult to mine.
Fortunately, the previous battle of ten thousand undead knights was very loud, and many rock blocks collapsed, and many crystal cores fell out of them.
Naturally, the dignified new king of Oran would not do the work of a low-level man who collects ore. He probably felt that it was his own mine anyway and things would not escape, so he left angrily.
This is also convenient for Ji Xun.
Like picking mushrooms, he found a forest of mushrooms in the forest, one after another, overwhelmed.
On the other side, Gong Wu stood in front of the bottomless pit, thinking about something.
Then jumped.
It didn't take long before he jumped up again.
Ji Xun looked at the people coming up and asked curiously: "Senior, what did you find?"
Thinking about the new king of Oran who just went down to get some broken armor or something. Come up, maybe there will be surprises.
"Nothing."
The old man shrugged and responded: "Those people channeled the spirits of the Moon Cross Knights before, and now the mental pollution in this pit has become smaller. . I can see the stone tablet clearly when I go down, but I can’t see anything further down.”
"Oh?"
When Ji Xun heard this, he also walked over.
He stood beside the pit and looked down.
Before, it was like a pool of ink, completely dark.
Now it looks like it is filled with fog, and a black obelisk can be vaguely seen.
Looking at this style, Ji Xun muttered in his heart: "Is it really the same style?"
This was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the underground palace of Xia Mu City ruins before.
But at the same time, he was also filled with curiosity. What exactly was recorded on this stone tablet?
He remembered that Catalina was led by Old Man Xu to observe the stone tablet, and then directly understood the magic solution.
Ji Xun looked really greedy.
Now he encountered another stone tablet. He couldn't help but wanted to take a look at it, so he asked: "Senior, what is written on that stone tablet?"
Last time, Old Man Xu didn't say anything because of some taboo.
I don’t know if the old man in front of me knows this.
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head decisively and said, "How do I know?"
As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun's questioning look of 'how could you not know', and his face became rude. I couldn't stand it, so I didn't forget to explain: "This stone tablet is recorded in high-level devil language. I'm not the [Eruditionist] path, how can I understand it?"
I paid it by mistake.
I thought you could understand it, senior.
Ji Xun glanced at it quietly, but also thought to himself: I have met several people who can understand.
Thinking about it, he remembered that in addition to Old Man Xu, Che Er and Catalina, there was also a cloaked man from the Thirteen Kamen Riders who also went to see it.
Now that I think of that mask, I realize it is the "Light Chaser".
Thinking of this, Ji Xun unconsciously had a thought in his mind: Could that person have also seen this stone tablet?
After all, this mine has been discovered for many years.
Or maybe this senior also knows Old Man Xu?
No matter who I meet, I feel that the fate is so wonderful.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun asked casually: "Senior, has anyone come to observe this stone tablet before?"
Hearing this, Gong Wu didn't know what he thought of. He paused for a moment, his brows showed a hint of caution, and asked: "Why do you want to ask this?"
Ji Xun originally asked casually, but When I think about this tone, is it really true?
He suddenly realized what secret this might involve, and became even more curious: "I have encountered a stone tablet like this before. By the way, do you know Old Man Xu? There is a nickname ' Dog King'."
He didn't dare to be too straightforward.
After all, the cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu is very fatal.
Even if you talk about it, you will be involved.
This kind of cause and effect has nothing to do with rank strength, but fate.
“.”
After hearing this, Gong Wu’s expression became even weirder.
He looked at Ji Xun from side to side, seeming even more surprised: Why do you know him?
After pondering for a moment, the old man said cautiously: "Is he a wretched old man with missing front teeth? And he often forgets things?"
Ji Xun heard this description and said, "Do you really know him?"
This is like saying that time has been suspended.
A silence fell in the mine.
Both of them realized that they were talking about the same person.
And obviously, Gong Wu also knew the cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu.
“That senior.”
Gong Wu’s expression was very complicated and he hesitated to speak.
I didn’t say it after all.
On the contrary, he looked at Ji Xun and said meaningfully: "That's right. You've met your fate, and it's normal for you to survive."
"."
Ji Xun rolled his eyes.
This old man obviously also knows about "cause and effect".
Gong Wu continued: "I know what you want to ask. But I don't know either. 'That one' is an unsolvable mystery to anyone."
"Oh."
Ji Xun listened and didn't ask any more questions.
But then he asked about another one, and said: "Then do you know the "Light Chaser" of the Thirteen Kamen Riders? "
As soon as these words came out, the old Gong Wu on the opposite side twitched his face and looked at Ji Xun like he was looking at a monster: "Do you still know that guy? ”
And what a coincidence.
The two people Ji Xun asked have actually come to observe this stone tablet.
But Gong Wu knew very well that this was a topic that could not be mentioned to others.
“.”
Ji Xun looked at the old man’s expression and knew that he was probably right.
But he was actually more curious about whether the "Light Chaser" was the mushroom-headed Jia Yu he knew.
There are only a few people standing on the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and they probably know each other.
He felt that the old man might know it, so he said directly: "I have met "Light Chaser" several times."
The topic of Thirteen Knights is not a taboo. Gong Wu looked at Ji Xun with a slight expression. Complex, mixed with doubts: "You really know Gurney? "
"? ? ? "
When Ji Xun heard this unfamiliar name, he shook his head and realized that he seemed to have guessed wrong.
He asked back: "Do you know a person named Jia Yu, a mushroom-headed man? , a little younger than me? ”
Gong Wu also shook his head: "I don't know."
"."
Ji Xun also felt as if he had guessed wrong.
Maybe Mushroom Head is just a member of the Thirteen Knights, not the leader?
The stone tablet was at his feet, and Ji Xun's curiosity became more and more intense.
He returned to the previous topic and asked: "Senior, what is that stone tablet, can you tell me?"
Gong Wu obviously thought about whether he could say it, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This It’s called the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]. It is said to record the secrets of the ‘catastrophe’ that led to the downfall of the Talon Dynasty. There are also some taboo contents that have not yet been cracked.”
Ji Xun: Catastrophe?
The old continent is now full of ruins and human beings are banned. He is also curious about what kind of civilization-destroying disaster happened three thousand years ago.
Seeing the longing look Ji Xun cast, he added: "Don't count on me. I can't understand it either. That guy Gurney did understand a little bit, but... he said this Only those who can understand the stone tablet are qualified to read it.”
"Oh?"
When Ji Xun heard this, his expression lit up.
In other words, as long as you can understand it, you can watch it, right?
He was previously worried that the content on the stone tablet had some "indescribable" pollution, and that reading it would cause him to go crazy.
Now that I hear it, it seems like I can try it?
He proposed enthusiastically: "Senior, why don't you take me down to have a look?"
Ji Xun couldn't go down himself, so he could only count on this person.
When Gong Wu heard this, he was not surprised that Ji Xun continued to think about it, but he was surprised: "You kid can still understand advanced devil language?"
"A little bit."
Ji Xun responded, adding: "How much you can understand depends on your luck."
I couldn't understand it before, but after JOKER solved it, I was able to understand some of the content on the bronze tablet, and I think I can also understand the stone tablet.
Gong Wu’s eyelids twitched inexplicably, which already showed his thoughts: Why do you think you know how to order everything?
A trace of thought appeared on the old sallow face that had been blown by wind and frost. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Okay! Then take your kid down and have a look."
He is actually very good. Curious as to what Ji Xun could see.
As Gong Wu raised it with one hand, the two of them fell down.
The moment he jumped in, Ji Xun felt like he had jumped into the lava of the crater.
The surrounding mental pollution turned into a tide of demons with teeth and claws, and the eyes were in a trance in an instant.
Fortunately, I have Gong Wu protecting me.
With a display of divine power, an invisible field was formed, which isolated most of the pollution.
Ji Xun finally got out of the nightmare feeling and his vision became clearer.
The two of them descended all the way and soon came to a ledge.
Here stands a black stone tablet more than three meters high. Gong Wu urged: "Hold on tight, kid, I won't be able to hold on for long."
"Oh."
The clown's silhouette appeared behind Ji Xun, and immediately Then his eyes fell on the stone tablet.
After all, high-level demonic language is the language of gods, and humans can only understand a part of it that they can understand.
As Ji Xun watched with concentration, the golden characters on the stone tablet were like wandering tadpoles, running around.
The information obtained was very fragmentary and obscure.
This is not the first time Ji Xun has seen high-level devil language, and he is already familiar with the feeling of a massive amount of information pouring into his brain and burning it up. He also tried hard to write down some of the few words he saw: "Xinhuo City", "Bury six million people", "Seal.", "Cut off pollution", "Source of disaster".
Time It seemed that only a few breaths had passed before he felt Gong Wu twisting the back of his neck and jumped out.
With a light body, Ji Xun instantly woke up from the sleepwalking state. He turned to look at the old man in confusion: "???"
I only looked at it for a while, how did you get me out?
Gong Wu said with a serious face: "You almost got lost just now."
Hearing this, Ji Xun immediately became serious.
Only then did he realize that something dangerous had happened that he was not aware of.
The old man was not surprised and said calmly: "High-level devil language contains too much super-cognitive information. If you don't understand it, it's actually your own cognitive barrier that is protecting you. You kid is too focused on learning, but in this case It's a hidden danger. If I hadn't pulled you away just now, you would have gone crazy."
"Thank you, senior."
Ji Xun understood what happened.
This stone tablet is indeed not something he can see now.
But at the same time, I was thinking about the information I just saw in my mind and spoke it out.
It's all fragmented information, which sounds useless.
Gong Wu also thought it was normal and said: "It's pretty good that your rank can see these contents."
"Yes."
Ji Xun also slightly A little disappointed.
I originally thought I could get some chance on the stone tablet, but there was only a little bit of fragmentary information.
Mentioning this, Gong Wu thought of something, and followed the topic and said: "If you want to understand more advanced devil language, you need to improve your brain and mental endurance. Your mental power is very special, and your potential is very high. . But your current three advancements are in the melee system, so it’s normal that your performance in this area is not particularly ideal. In the future, you can consider adding a career related to [wisdom]. Your devil’s mark is very special and can withstand it. A career path that others cannot afford"
For others, this idea of switching from "melee type" to "spiritual type" is simply courting death.
But [JOKER] is different.
After careful observation in the past two months, Gong Wu has understood that this sequence is not about being "specialized and precise", but about being "universal in everything".
On the contrary, pursuing martial arts alone will limit the upper limit of potential.
"Yeah."
Ji Xun nodded seriously.
These seniors at the top can see some things more accurately than he can.
This career direction can indeed be planned.
Speaking of this, Gong Wu didn't know what image came to mind, and said with a smile: "But having said that, Merlin's ability is related to cognition. If you have time, you can try his ability. Yes. It improves the brain, but the experience is not very good.”
"Yeah."
As soon as Ji Xun saw the old man's expression, he knew something was up.
But since he said that, he also took note of it seriously.
At this time, something suddenly popped up in Ji Xun's mind, and he said: "Oh, senior, I just saw a spell on the stone tablet. It was probably in the shape of a 'snowflake' like this."< br>
That symbol is very strange. Although I can never forget it, I always feel like it is "sliding away".
As he spoke, he was really afraid that he would forget, so he quickly condensed his energy into an irregular symbol in the shape of a snowflake between his fingers.
Not flat, but a complex three-dimensional symbol.
After concentrating, he asked again: "Senior, do you know what this 'snowflake symbol' means?"
"!!!"
Gong Wu looked Seeing this symbol, his pupils shrank like pinpricks.
He has actually seen it!
This is not a snowflake.
But "taboo"!
“.”
As soon as Ji Xun saw his expression, he knew that things might not be simple.
I didn’t even think about asking any more questions.
Unexpectedly, Gong Wu said with a serious expression that he had never seen before: "This symbol represents 'plague'."
Ji Xun didn't know what it meant. , can such a master who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts be so serious: "Plague?"
Gong Wu's eyes were as hazy as mist, and said: "I don't know what it refers to. But I know that it can make Gu This guy regards it as a 'taboo' and doesn't even dare to mention it. The content that this symbol refers to must be extremely dangerous."
Ji Xun listened with the same serious expression.
In this world, curiosity can really kill people.
This world is not that beautiful. There are many "taboo" topics, and even mentioning them can be fatal.
For example, the ancient gods, such as Old Man Xu.
Although Ji Xun didn't know the "Guni", when he heard what the old man said, he knew that the situation was serious and decided not to ask any more questions.
But when this topic came up, Gong Wu seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to speak: "This is what Guni told me after seeing the stone tablet a few years ago."
As he spoke, he sighed inexplicably: "That guy Gurney said that the reason why this stone tablet is recorded in high-level demonic language is that the content on the stone tablet does not want to be seen by people who are not high enough. Otherwise, those predecessors deliberately buried it The 'historical truth' may cause big trouble."
Ji Xun thought thoughtfully.
Gong Wu continued: "After seeing the stone tablet, he told me that he was going to Bureau "Mask man." Also, if you meet someone who can see this symbol, you can also say a few words he left."
When Ji Xun heard this topic, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.
He suddenly thought of a possibility
That "Guni" is indeed the leader of the Thirteen Knights, but he is the previous "Light Chaser"!
And I guessed it right.
The "Light Chaser" he saw belonged to this generation, and most likely it was Jia Yu!
It's like a button on a piece of clothing, buttoned in the wrong place.
Switch it over and it will be right all of a sudden.
Moreover, what the old man said completes the most critical link in the story chain: that is why Jia Yu lurks around Xie Guozhong!
Ji Xun saw Jia Yu for the first time. The mushroom head was Xie Guozhong’s assistant.
Now that we know that he is a member of the Thirteen Knights and is ridiculously powerful, the identity of "assistant" is very intriguing!
Ji Xun didn’t understand it before.
When I listen to it now, my thoughts are automatically connected together.
It is very possible that the previous "Light Chaser" went to Bureau X to investigate something and had an accident.
Then Jia Yu, as the successor, will continue to choose to infiltrate undercover.
"Hiss"
As soon as Ji Xun completed the puzzle in his mind, he immediately realized that the matter was more serious than expected.
The "Light Chaser", the leader of the Thirteen Knights, is already at the pinnacle of card masters, and yet he has an accident?
So what exactly was he going to Bureau X to investigate?
What kind of terrifying existence is there in Bureau X?
Thinking again about the ruins of Xia Ranch, Ji Xun himself was hunted down by members of the X Bureau Inquisition.
At that time, those people came here based on the "Fate of Nanjing".
This behavior is very suspicious.
Bureau X is a neutral asylum. How could it come to kill a Nan Jing for no reason?
And the last time he saw Xie Guozhong, he mentioned that he had a vague feeling that something had happened within Bureau X.
He voluntarily was imprisoned and went to Dragon City headquarters because he actually wanted to investigate the truth of this matter secretly.
The more Ji Xun thought about it, the more confusing it became.
While completing a story chain, new questions about beheading emerged one after another.
Now it seems that the source of all these doubts points to the content on the stone tablet?
Ji Xun turned his eyes and asked: "Is that senior Guni powerful?"
Gong Wu also had a hint of melancholy in his tone: "We can't simply say whether we can fight or not. His realm of "I am the world" is very evil. When you fight him, it feels like you are fighting against the whole world. Unless the strength is much, much higher than him, I can't think of anyone of the same level who can really kill him. ”
An opponent is hard to find.
We fought against each other, became enemies, and later became friends.
Ji Xun heard this comment and did not continue to ask any more questions.
In this exchange, both he and Gong Wu had actually seen that this stone tablet involved too much.
The two of them did not continue chatting about those "taboo topics".
After a moment of silence, the solemnity on Gong Wu's face instantly dissipated, as if he had made some decision: "Forget it. Anyway, it's almost time to go into seclusion. It's time to go out and have a look."
For a martial artist like him, plotting and other things were never something he had to consider.
The old man said more than once that only those who are not strong enough can think about those fancy strategies.
Try not to force yourself into problems that can be solved by hand.
As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you always complain about not learning martial arts? Do you want to learn something powerful?"
Since you plan to go out, We can no longer teach as leisurely as we do now.
There are some things that should be taught about pressing the bottom of the box. Let’s teach them all.
Looking at this expression, Ji Xun knew that this bad old man had no good intentions, but he was also looking forward to it and loudly said: "Learn!"
In the past two months, he has been practicing the basics of Qigong, and he has mastered the tricks. It just takes time to accumulate.
When I was talking about how to use the old man's unique martial arts skills, he took the initiative to bring it up without thinking.
Gong Wu chuckled and said in a deep voice: "I have learned a lot in my life. I am proficient in three hundred and two martial arts routines, seventy-two ancient martial arts skills, and countless residual moves. After spending decades in seclusion, To simplify the complex, we have to create a boxing technique. Let’s name it [Ba Fist].” The old man is going to get serious.
Moreover, as soon as I heard this name, my domineering attitude was revealed, and I was instantly full of expectations.
Gong Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "I later retreated here, realized the power of the gods, and realized the true meaning of martial arts. It is said to be a fist, but in fact it is 'intention' and 'qi'. This [Hegemony Fist] It can be said to be the essence of what I have learned throughout my life."
He looked at Ji Xun, paused for a moment, and then said: "It can be said that if you learn it, you can use it as a basis to activate all fighting martial arts. "
As soon as he said these words, even if he didn't release his divine power, his whole body still exuded an invisible aura.
This is the domineering spirit of a Qigong master who stands at the pinnacle of a card master's combat power.
He uses force to look down on the world!
How heroic and arrogant!
Just looking at the posture of the person on the top of the mountain, Ji Xun felt that his blood was inexplicably surging.
And as soon as he heard this description, a term from his previous life suddenly came to his mind: Xiao Wuxiang Kung!
Although the old man likes to brag.
But he is also really awesome!
Waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Ji Xun did not conceal his deep expectations and said with cupped hands: "Senior, please give me some advice."
"Haha. That's fine."
Gong Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Since you want to learn, then study hard. Your current level of understanding [Ba Fist] is still far from adequate. Learn as much as you can understand. If you don't understand, just remember and let time To understand."
As he said that, what was in front of him turned into a series of phantoms.
Ji Xun just prepared his defense, but in the blink of an eye he was filled with fists like a rainstorm.
I didn’t feel the fist touching my body, but the energy around me was already exploding.
In an instant, his whole body flew up like a balloon.
Only ripples of gas explosions were seen in the air.
Before I had time to understand what was happening, I heard the lingering sound of the essence of boxing: "All living beings have 'qi'. I have been trying to compress the power of the curse and condense the Gangqi. Qi all my life. It is neither formless nor intangible, like wind, like lightning, like destruction without form, but it also has form, like a blade, like a feather, like a mountain. This fist of mine can collapse mountains, crack the ground, and destroy cities. It can level it, but the heart is not peaceful!"
This day.
Ji Xun kept flying in the sky and did not land for a long time.
