Chapter 21: Red Chalcedony

After a few meditations, Wu Xing, who had repeatedly "wrestled" with the seal, felt more and more clearly that he seemed to be fighting with a martial artist Xingjun!

"There is a boxing method called 'Wing Chun' in the Southern Chu State, and at the beginning of cultivation, there is a link to beat wooden stakes...... There are soldiers in the barracks who practice this technique, and I have tried to hit the wooden stake a few times......" Wu Xing muttered thoughtfully: "I feel that this seal, to a certain extent, is similar to the wooden stake. ”

At this time, the nine-character mantra ring was already extremely weak, and only a curling mist remained, as if it could be blown away in one breath.

Wu Xing stretched out his fist and gestured, turned his head to look at Wentian, and asked, "Such a critical step, are you coming?"

Wentian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others." ”

At this time, the sound of firecrackers was already faintly heard in the villages and towns near the stele forest, and Wu Xing no longer dragged on, and directly lit up the two-star chain to defeat the seal and scatter.

However, just as Wu Xing was about to speak, the colorful mist dispersed and regathered, absorbing Wu Xing's right hand, and it was completely absorbed in the blink of an eye.

Wu Xing looked at Wen Tian blankly, and the latter just motioned for Wu Xing to look at his right hand.

Yes!

A huge pain came suddenly, this is no longer the so-called pinprick sting, but more like the sting of a swarm of wasps!

Wu Xing gasped, looked down, and found that he had an eighth star on his right palm!

"As I said, the eight stars and nine stars are not cultivated, but they are realized in actual combat. Wen Tian said casually: "If you don't want to help me break this seal, maybe the time to light up the eighth star will be slightly delayed." ”

"Okay, I got it. To help you leave from the ladder, it is a seven-star chain, and when you go to the White Horse Stele Forest to break the seal, it is an eight-star chain. Anyway, as long as I'm willing to help, it always seems that there will always be a reward. Wu Xing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his backhand, and asked indispensably: "Is there anything else I can do for you next, and will there be any surprises?"

Wen Tian didn't seem to notice the dissatisfaction in Wu Xing's tone, and just motioned for Wu Xing to knock on the side of the giant stone tablet.

Wu Xing did so, and then he saw that the huge stone tablet that stood out from the crowd collapsed in front of him, turning into pieces of the size of the ground, and then it turned into a finer powder like melting snow and seeped into the snow! Of course, Wu Xing was also turned gray by this movement.

"What's the matter??," Wen Tian teased, and then stretched out his hand to summon it, and the flocculent material in a jade pendant fell lightly, hanging above his palm, and the other hand held the jade pendant. It's just that this flocculent is not white, but a very peculiar red color, and in terms of size, it is smaller than the flocculent in the jade pendant that asks the sky.

After Wu Xing glanced at it twice, he didn't pay attention to it, but instead lay on the snow and cut through several places of snow, wiping his face with the snow while looking for something.

"Such a big megalithic monument....... It's just gone?" Wu Xing tried for a while, but he gave up continuing to look for clues that the giant stone tablet once existed, and stood up, puzzled.

"A piece of wood, burned to the point that only a pile of ashes remains, who would pay attention to the ashes?" asked Tianxu to gesture to the red flocculent mass in his hand, and said, "We only need the light and heat emitted by the wood when it burns. ”

Wu Xing obviously said something else: "The sudden disappearance of such a large giant stone tablet will inevitably attract the attention of the government and the Star Palace....... Isn't that exactly what you're trying to avoid?"

Wen Tian waved his hand disappreciably and said, "Hehe, that's not something we need to worry about." We only 'race to be the first'. ”

"What do you mean by 'competing for the first'? Do you still want to find the second Nine Words Law Tablet?" Wu Xing heard the subtext of asking the sky.

"Do you know what's so magical about this chalcedony?" asked Tian to avoid answering, and then without waiting for Wu Xing to speak, he asked himself: "In addition to being made into a higher-grade pattern than jade and carrying the spirit of the stele....... The simplest and most direct effect of chalcedony is to wash the marrow and cut the bones for Xingjun. The lower the grade, the better the effect of taking chalcedony. If you take this chalcedony, you will at least be able to directly advance to the Eight-Rank Star Monarch, and at the same time light up the Nine-Star Chain in your left hand!"

"A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others!" Wu Xing replied without thinking about it, borrowing the words of Qiantian before, and said: "Your roof has leaked, how can I still fight with you for this chalcedony? Speaking of which, I owe you a favor. ”

"You really don't want it, chalcedony, we can find a second way, and it is the most important thing for you to raise the grade as soon as possible. Wen Tian put himself in his shoes and said, "I predict that the second Nine Words Law Tablet will fall to the Star Continent, that is, within the next year and a half. ”

Wu Xing didn't say much, and directly expressed his attitude with a slow but firm shake of his head.

"Okay......" Wen Tian stretched out his hand and sealed the red chalcedony into the jade pendant. The amazing thing is that the chalcedony is just a point the size of a grain of rice in the jade pendant, but I don't know what the reason is.

"Since we are 'of the same kind', I believe you know where to find me. I'm really going home now, though. Wu Xing raised his feet and prepared to leave.

"Two things. Wentian stretched out his hand and made a "two" gesture, and said, "First of all, you haven't finished waking up yet. The cultivation of civil and military skills is as rare as rare even in the Star God Temple. And the Star Monarch who cultivated into a star pen and a star hammer has been unheard of since the first year of the ephemeris. Whether this kind of exercise is suitable for you or not, at least you won't be able to see until the star in your left hand is lit up, right?"

Wu Xing blinked his eyes and retracted his step, this first point was already a rehash of the same old tune.

"Secondly, I can't make a tattoo from chalcedony, and I can't do without your help. Wentian smiled slightly and said, "I don't need you to repay me, just help me complete this chalcedony vessel, right?" Of course, I didn't ask you to help in vain, and there will definitely be something in return!"

Wu Xing thought about it, and really couldn't refuse, so he had to smile bitterly: "In this way, it seems that the seniors are relying on me!"

"Just now, in order to ensure that the seal can be lifted smoothly, I released the induction power, but that is a drain on my spiritual power, and I will recover through this chalcedony for a while. So, if there's nothing special, I'm not going to come out again. You're on your own. After asking the sky, he directly atomized and disappeared.
