Chapter 312 Iron Body Kung Fu
In the wing room, there was a thick layer of gray-black dust, and broken bricks and tiles were everywhere.
A shabby wooden bed that seemed to have begun to rot and decay was placed at the very back of the room.
The mummy that Jiang Yao saw was on the wooden bed, but it was not lying on it, but lying on it with its back turned to the sky.
For this reason, the face of the mummy cannot be seen at all. Only his straw-like hair and the completely dry parts exposed outside the clothes can be seen.
"Those who dare to walk alone in the wilderness will generally be warriors, not ordinary people."
"This person will die in this wing of the ruined temple. Was it because he was attacked by some being while he was sleeping on this rotten wooden bed? "
"As a warrior, you should be very vigilant even when sleeping in your own home, let alone in a ruined temple in the wilderness. That's right."
"There are no traces of any battle around here. Is it because the enemy was too strong and he lost his life before he could even make any resistance?"
"But when he died, why was he wearing clothes on his upper body but naked on his lower body? Why was he lying on the wooden bed instead of lying on his back?"
...
Frowning, Jiang Yao was filled with doubts. He looked at the mummy on the wooden bed up and down for a while from a few steps away.
He still couldn't figure out why this guy looked so dead, so he found a rotten wooden stick nearby, took a few steps forward, and poked at his body.
Although the flesh and blood were dried up, with only a layer of skin remaining, the mummy turned into flying ashes when Jiang Yao's wooden stick touched him, rising up and falling in all directions. go.
“Damn it, it turned into this after just touching it. Is this mummy so rotten?” Covering his nose, Jiang Yao quickly took a few steps back.
It took several breaths for the fly ash to dissipate, and the thick layer of dust accumulated in the entire wing had obviously increased due to this.
Holding the wooden stick, Jiang Yao walked to the tattered wooden bed again.
Although the mummy has been turned into ashes, only part of the clothes he was wearing were reduced to pieces. At first glance, it barely looks like a piece of clothing.
With the help of the wooden stick in his hand, Jiang Yao lifted up the piece of clothing.
'Ding dong...' After a few crisp sounds, something actually fell out of the clothes and landed on the bed board of the rotten wooden bed.
Using the dim moonlight cast from the roof, Jiang Yao found a few jade coins, a dozen copper coins, and a milky white jade piece half the size of a palm.
"Hey, I came here to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect that I could make some money from dead people."
Happily, Jiang Yao put away all the things he found.
Judging from the prices in Xujia Town, those copper coins are just fine, but the value of jade coins is not small.
One jade coin can buy hundreds of kilograms of meat and five hundred kilograms of white rice. An ordinary family of three can live comfortably for a long time with just one jade coin. .
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is not impossible for ordinary people to make jade money, but it is certainly not easy.
For example, for two people like Lu Xiong and Lu Changsheng, they were able to hunt down a wild boar when they went into the mountains. That was just an exception, an accident within an accident.
But now, the four or five jade coins Jiang Yao picked up are already a considerable fortune even for him.
“Why is there so many holes in this area near the middle of the bed board?”
“There are big holes that can fit a carrot in. If a jade coin fell into this place, it would definitely be there. Will fall inside and under the bed.”
"Break the bed board and keep looking."
Frowning slightly, Jiang Yao muttered.
In this dusty room, it would definitely not be appropriate to lie down and crawl under the bed. It would be easier for him to just smash the bed board.
Lifting up his fist, he punched the space full of holes in the middle of the bed board several times.
I don’t know what kind of wood this bed board is made of. It has turned black in color and seems to have rotted away, but its hardness is still amazing.
With the power contained in Jiang Yao's fist, he could smash ordinary rocks with one punch, but it took him six or seven punches to break the bed board in front of him.
An indescribable strange smell rose from the ground under the bed board and rushed straight to Jiang Yao's nostrils.
Suppressing the strong feeling of nausea, he quickly held his breath and rummaged under the bed for a while.
Unfortunately, he only found six or seven copper coins and did not find any jade coins.
"Forget it, I can harvest a few jade coins, which is already pretty good. What else do I expect!" After muttering to himself, Jiang Yao stepped away from the bed and stood on the ground in the room. I glanced at it for a while.
After confirming that there was nothing of value left, he retreated to the ruined temple hall outside the wing.
Finding some scraps of wood and rotten wood, he piled them up where the ashes of the bonfire were. Jiang Yao leaned against the wall and relit the fire.
Compared with the day, the night in this wilderness is filled with a cold atmosphere, giving people a deep chill.
The bonfire was rekindled, and the raging flames rose up, not only lighting up the surroundings, but also warming people's hearts, making Jiang Yaodu feel a lot more comfortable.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from the storage space, took out one and lit it. Amidst the lingering smoke, he took out the milky white jade he had just found and began to examine it. This thing gave people a warm and moist feeling when held in his hand. Before, he just put it away easily. Now that he was free, he naturally wanted to play with it and have a more real understanding of it.
The jade block was crystal clear, and under the flames of the bonfire in front of it, there seemed to be strange lines flickering inside.
"What is this? I picked it up casually, is it really a treasure?" After realizing this, Jiang Yao felt his eyes light up.
While muttering in his heart, he took a deep breath, gathered all his energy, and stared at the jade block in his hand, trying to see the lines contained in it more clearly.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
As time passed little by little, the lines contained in the jade pendant began to gradually become clearer in Jiang Yao's eyes.
Finally, the strange mark consisting of a striped road was clearly visible in his sight.
At this moment, there was a sound like a 'boom' in Jiang Yao's head, and then, streams of information poured into his mind, evolving into scenes.
"Practice martial arts skills and iron body skills?"
"Those weird patterns contained in the jade blocks are actually a kind of martial arts inheritance?"
"In the real world, I remember that Long Po seemed to have said that only spiritual beings can carry extraordinary inheritance."
"The martial arts practiced by people in this world can be cultivated to such a profound level that they can build mountains. The broken stone and cut off the river can make people transcend the ordinary world."
"The jade piece I just picked up can be regarded as a spiritual object since it contains inheritance."
"It's just a pity that the level of this iron body skill is a bit low. If you practice it to the limit, you can only become a bone forging realm warrior."
......
The whole person was in a trance. After a while, Jiang Yaofang finally woke up from that state.
The jade piece in his hand fell from the clothes on the mummy in the wing.
That person can walk in the wilderness and dare to spend the night alone in this ruined temple. He must be a warrior. If nothing unexpected happens, the martial arts he practices should undoubtedly be this iron body skill.
Although this technique can only allow people to practice to the bone forging realm, for ordinary people, it is still a precious thing that they can hardly get in their dreams.
Like that idiot Lu Changsheng, he could even think of things like poisoning and setting fire to get the martial arts inheritance from Jiang Yao.
Just thinking about it will tell you how valuable the iron body skill inheritance contained in the jade block is.
“Iron Body Kung Fu is a horizontal martial arts technique. Although I have already entered the bone forging realm, my practice of this method cannot increase my realm, but it should be able to improve my defense a lot. . ”
“The so-called skill is not overwhelming, just practicing the Wild Dragon Fist, the method is a bit single. If you really encounter that kind of monster-level warrior with amazing talent, you will be killed by someone else. "It's not impossible."
"But for now, if I don't have enough lifespan, I must focus on improving my own realm. If I have free time and no shortage of resources, I can do this iron body skill. Use it to practice."
Sighing, Jiang Yao sighed and focused on the light screen panel.
In the Kung Fu column, there is an additional piece of information about Iron Body Kung Fu (1/10 for beginners).
Having obtained this inheritance from the jade block, although he has not yet started practicing, it has already appeared on the light curtain panel.
From novice to beginner, only ten points of proficiency are enough.
After seeing this number and feeling that it was very easy for him to practice Iron Body Kung Fu, Jiang Yao's idea of practicing Iron Body Kung Fu became even more intense.
Withdrawing his attention from the light screen panel, he looked at the jade block still in his hand.
The color of the original milky white jade block has faded a lot. Although the stripe path contained in it is still there, it is a bit blurry compared to before. The light shining on it has also changed now. Much darker.
“Is it because the spirituality in the jade block has been depleted that it becomes like this?”
“Judging from the difference between this jade block and the previous one, the iron contained in it I estimate that the body skill can only be passed down two more times at most."
"I have already obtained this inheritance, and the jade block is no longer useful to me, but if I can go back to the real world, it will be. You can let Bingzai or Scar Liu get the inheritance and practice this iron body skill."
"Counting the time, it has been about a month since I entered this world of divine martial arts, because of the two worlds. The difference in time flow between them, in the real world, ten months should have passed by now.”
"I don't know, how is my mother's place? What are the soldiers and the guys under me like now?"
...
Putting away the jade piece in his hand carefully, Jiang Yao sighed. , sighed.
When he thought of his relatives and friends in the real world, his heart was filled with melancholy.
He has no sense of belonging to the world of Shenwu where he currently lives, and has always regarded himself as just a passerby.
That is to say, his life span is not enough to support him to continue traveling back and forth. He has no choice but to stay here temporarily.
