It has been five days since the last conversation between Xiao Fan and Gong Ruyun, and today is another pleasant weekend.

Except, of course, Xiao Fan.

He was now standing in a sealed room.

That night, Xiao Fan saw Fang Xiu, who was waiting for him at home. With the news revealed by Gong Ruyun in advance, there were not many surprises.

However, when he saw the USB flash drive that Xiao Fan took out and stored the "Rolling Wave Knife Chapter", his pupils contracted significantly, his brows condensed slightly, and then quickly dispersed. If Xiao Fan hadn't been paying attention to his expression, he wouldn't have noticed these changes at all.

Fang Xiu didn't ask who gave it, of course, Xiao Fan later learned that the USB flash drive given by Gong Ruyun, in addition to decoration, is also a unique mark of the Gong family.

"What did she give you?"

"Wave Blade Chapter."

This time, Fang Xiu's expression changed even more obviously. The eyebrows are raised, and the upper eyelid is visibly raised. For a person like Fang Xiu, who works in the nature of a night watchman, this is already a big emotional change.

"She actually gave you this skill?"

Fang Xiu's voice was slightly higher than usual, which made Xiao Fan a little stunned.

Although he knew that this combat skill might be very precious, he saw that Gong Ruyun was speaking lightly at that time, and the cloud sent was light and light, so he didn't care about it.

It's just that now it seems that it is not as simple as I imagined.

"Do you know the rules of the Gong Family's Scripture Pavilion?"

Being asked by Fang Xiu like this, Xiao Fan was stunned on the spot, and then shook his head.

Fang Xiu took out a cigarette, lit it, and extinguished it in the ashtray on the table.

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, Fang Xiu got up, walked into his room, and walked out with a wooden box in his arms after a while.

Xiao Fan looked at this wooden box and felt a little familiar.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, Xiao Fan recalled it and determined that this was the box where the half of the jade pendant was placed in his memory.

The surface of the box is very worn, and it is estimated that it has been some years. On the box is a brass lock that has a certain sense of the times even when it was on earth. In this current situation where personal force is somewhat unconventional, Xiao Fan is very skeptical that this lock can prevent real people with hearts.

Solemnly placing the wooden box in the center of the table, Fang Xiu raised his head and glanced at Xiao Fan. Seeing him staring at the copper lock, he knocked on the top of the wooden box and said, "Why, look down on this lock?" ”

Xiao Fan didn't know what to say. This lock, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like it's sturdy. And such an ordinary box still looks a little shabby, Xiao Fan estimates that he can punch it through with one punch.

Fang Xiu pushed the box in front of Xiao Fan with an unpredictable smile on his face: "Come on, you try." ”

"Try what?"

"Try it, if you can punch it through."

I don't know if it's an illusion, the smile on Fang Xiu's face seems to be a little thicker, and there is a slight sense of narrowness.

Xiao Fan clenched his fist in his right hand, raised it and aimed at the wooden box for a long time: "Brother Fang, are you sure?" ”

Fang Xiu withdrew his hands and put them behind his back: "You try, if you can smash it open, everything inside will be given to you." ”

"What's inside?"

To be honest, Xiao Fan didn't know anything except that there was half a jade pendant inside. But looking at Fang Xiu's solemn appearance, is there something good in it?

But no matter how much you think about it, let's smash it first.

Thinking of this, the muscles of Xiao Fan's entire right arm tensed suddenly, like steel bars entangled and spread with each other, and at the same time, his right fist smashed into the wooden box on the table with the sound of hunting.

Later, you have to gather some strength and don't smash the table.

Thinking like this, a punch fell, making a muffled "bang", like a strong man rotating a mallet and hitting a cowhide drum vigorously.

With this sound, Xiao Fan's upper and lower teeth suddenly bumped together, and the whole person stood there like a wooden man holding his right arm.

After a while, beads of sweat the size of pearls covered his forehead. The bronze face, painted a little lime white, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at the dilapidated wooden box in front of him, as if he was looking at some kind of flood beast.

"Well, do you want to try it again?"

Fang Xiu on the side seemed to have expected this result, and looked at Xiao Fan who was rubbing his wrists for a long time: "Do you want to do it again?" You can change hands this time. ”

Xiao Fan looked at him, then at the wooden box, and shook his head.

The smile on Fang Xiu's face became even brighter.

After rubbing for a long time, Xiao Fan finally put down his right hand. Tentatively, he stretched out his left hand and pressed the wooden box in front of him, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the surface of the wooden box.

This touch is like a piece of rotten wood!

Retracted his right hand, still with a little crumb on his fingertips. Putting it on the tip of his nose and smelling it, Xiao Fan was very sure that this was the smell of rotten wood. When I was a child, my grandmother's wooden bed that had been used for decades also had such a smell.

However, recalling the punch just now, Xiao Fan was a little confused.

With a fist style, a castration and ferocious punch smashed not a piece of wood, but a piece of alchemy. Cold and hard. The force of the backlash shook him to the point where he almost couldn't stand on his feet.

What's going on?

Fang Xiu didn't speak on the side, but silently turned the box over. At the bottom of the box, there are many fine red lines, some of which even extend around the box. It's just that the dark red color of the box itself is hidden, and if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to distinguish it.

"This is a rune?"

When speaking, Xiao Fan's confidence was not very strong.

Rune technology is an emerging technology that emerged after the mutation. Born from the talismans in various classics, it is a special text that describes the basic rules between heaven and earth. When arranged and combined, these words can do all sorts of magical things. Then it was organically combined with modern technology, and finally the current mainstream technology appeared, that is, rune technology.

The most typical example is that many cars will be engraved with runes such as god speed, weight loss, etc. The high-end ones will be engraved on the body with runes such as King Kong and Rock to strengthen defense, and runes on the position of the engine with energy compression.

It can be said that rune technology has been integrated into all aspects of people's lives.

It's just that the predecessor has never been interested in runes, and the teaching content of junior high school is only an explanation of some basic runes.

Xiao Fan knew that this was a rune, but what was the function, I'm sorry, it's beyond my knowledge.

However, the box can't be smashed, this lock?

As if it had completely penetrated Xiao Fan's thoughts, Fang Xiu pointed to the dull copper lock on the wooden box that had been polished by the years: "Come, you continue to try?" ”

Looking at Fang Xiu's smiling face full of evil taste, Xiao Fan looked at the wooden box again.

Raising his head, Xiao Fan shook his head very firmly.

"What, this is giving up?"

Fang Xiu was a little surprised.

Xiao Fan pointed to the copper lock and said, "This lock is the same as the one you gave me before. ”

In the past few days, in order to integrate into this world as soon as possible, in addition to crazy cultivation, Xiao Fan will occasionally look through the books of his predecessor. Although most of them are books on cultivation, there are also a few books that introduce the various customs and customs of this world, as well as some special rune creations.

And in one of the "Miscellaneous Things", there is a record of this lock.

Lightning Lock, if not with a special rune key, the violent toucher will be struck by lightning. It's the kind of flashy thing in the book, after all, who would use such old-fashioned locks now?

"Brother Fang, you still have this kind of antique?"

More than 100 years ago, this type of lock was completely discontinued. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an antique that can survive until now.

The Lightning Lock was one of the first rune tech products, and sales were impressive during that time. It's just that later, runes and technology became more and more closely linked, and the development speed of science and technology and the improvement of human living standards reached an incredible level, and the first batch of rune products such as lightning locks quickly withdrew from the market and disappeared.

"Yo, you know this kind of thing?"

Fang Xiu looked at Xiao Fan who shook his head, not knowing if he guessed or really knew.

"You forgot, you gave me a book before."

"Oh, I remember."

Fang Xiu suddenly realized that he remembered the book. When the reading room of the bureau was cleaning up old books, he picked up a few of them that looked interesting and took them home.

They were all old books, and the leaders of the bureau felt that it was a pity to throw them away, so they checked it to make sure that there was nothing secret, and they made the decision to let those who were interested come and take a look.

"It's just that how do you read those books?"

has lived with the teenager opposite for so long, and Fang Xiu is very clear about his reading taste.

In addition to some cultivation notes he borrowed from the bureau, they were some cultivation techniques of the body refining realm that he bought with pocket money from the official store that sold classics, or the dismantling and analysis of the basic combat skills by some senior masters.

"Recently, the cultivation of "Thousands of Tempers" has been completed, and I want to wait until high school to make a choice for the follow-up exercises."

"What do you think of your follow-up exercises?"

"Since I chose "A Thousand Tempers" to start, the follow-up exercises, I want to continue with it in style."

This is the path chosen by the predecessor, and in the past few days, he has accepted the memories of the predecessor and read the many discussions on cultivation in the bookcase, and he also feels that this is the best choice.

"Are you sure?"

Fang Xiu sighed and said, "You have personally cultivated, you should know very well that "Thousands of Tempers" is not like the blind and fierce kung fu that outsiders say, and it pays attention to both rigidity and softness. ”

"I know, but the purpose of this kung fu itself is to polish the body to the extreme. And although it has been practiced to the fullest, it is indeed a combination of rigidity and softness. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Fan stared at Fang Xiu fixedly: "However, its follow-up, this exercise, its iron-blooded taste, is too strong." ”

Fang Xiu had sighed more than once today, but Xiao Fan's words made him have to continue to sigh.

"A Thousand Tempers" is the military's top secret biography. Its follow-up exercises are naturally more suitable for the military's exercises.

It's just that the military's exercises, official libraries and the like will not be included. If you want to cultivate, you can only go to the military.

And this is what Fang Xiu doesn't want to see.
