Chapter 14: The True Trick of the Nightmare Bone
"Disciple understands."
Han Tieshan put Xue Tong's sect jade plate on the ink-colored copper inkstone on the desk, recited a few words, and the jade card lit up, deducting sixty sect points.
Han Tieshan looked solemn and said: "The martial arts of the sect, all the classics are only awarded to me, you hold the jade plate in your hand, and recite a mantra with me to make an oath."
Xue Tong followed Han Tieshan to chant the incantation, and a strange blood-colored smoke swirled above his head, flashing a few black runes from time to time, and finally all of them penetrated into his forehead with a hula.
Zhihai Gray Dots moved slightly, and fortunately immediately quieted down, without further reaction.
Han Tieshan said: "The oath has been made, if you deliberately leak it to others, the oath of blood martial arts will backfire, causing you to go insane, and eventually die of a split brain." ”
……
"Bang dang!"
Behind him, the golden gate was slammed shut, and a path in front of him led straight to the pagoda.
The sky was gray, with no clouds or sunlight in sight, and the place was clearly shrouded in the tight protection of the circle.
The path is about ten zhang long, and there are four tall and hideous iron statues of bull head and horse face and yaksha evil ghost standing on the left and right side of the road, like four iron gates guarding the Linglong pagoda.
Every time Xue Tong crossed the gate, the jade plate on his waist vibrate, and it seemed that the iron statue was inspected correctly and released.
"If you trespass without permission, I'm afraid you'll be chopped into mashed meat by these puppets!" Xue Tong couldn't help but shudder.
The brick and stone structure of the exquisite pagoda is octagonal in the shape, and it is taken from the meaning of the eight-sided exquisite. As soon as Xue Tong stepped on the base of the tower, two men and a woman who had entered earlier happened to come out of the tower.
"The stinky boy is here!" Cao Jin's face was a tiger, and he said roughly.
"Sick, shut up!" The young woman Shi Xiao shouted angrily.
"Senior sister, this person is frivolous and rude! Lust fans are staring at you. Gong Kai said.
The two men spoke without taboo, and regarded Xue Tong as if he were nothing.
"These two men are full of nonsense, and it seems that they are circling around their junior sister every day, and they are nymphomaniac." Xue Tong suppressed his anger and did not squeak to talk.
"Don't come out in the future, wherever you go, people will be thrown away!" Shi Xiao stomped his foot and ran past Xue Tong.
"Senior sister, wait!" Cao Gong and the others gritted their teeth and glared at Xue Tong fiercely.
The corners of Xue Tong's mouth glanced at it, he was very disapproving, he was not worried about what the two of them would do to him, using force here would immediately trigger the ban, and his death would be very ugly.
……
The lower three floors of the pagoda are the floors where the outer disciples can go, the first floor exercises, the second floor martial arts, and the third floor classics.
The six-sided stone cabinet in the tower is placed with a jade box, and a bronze medal in front of the box is engraved with a brief description of the exercises.
"Three Elements"!
Xue Tong browsed carefully, whether it was the nine major selections or the other sixty or seventy kinds of exercises, there was no special feeling, the three-element formula was decent, and the avenue was square. He decided to pick up the bronze medal and study it again, the so-called three elements refer to the magic power in the Fahai, viscera, and spiritual apertures that are seamlessly integrated.
"Six thousand years ago, the ancestor of the Yunxiao Sect refined this technique to the greatest perfection and ascended to the spiritual realm in the realm of heaven and man."
"The refining speed of the Three Elements Technique is not slow, the Holy Ancestor Generation, using this to open up a mountain and establish a sect, what do I have to worry about."
Xue Tong inserted the jade plate into the groove at the bottom of the box, and with a ticking sound, the door of the jade box suddenly opened, and a piece of cyan jade flickered, slowly rising, and drifting to him.
Xue Tong put away the jade slip and began to rummage through the jade box of the body refining exercises.
He picked and chose those exercises, and was in a dilemma, until the last stone cabinet, a bronze medal made his eyes shine.
"Nightmare True Magic"!
Xue Tong suddenly felt cordial and heartwarming.
The text in the second half of the bronze medal is relatively new, and it is obviously the content engraved in the later period, saying that the exercises are difficult to practice and the value is unknown.
The text in the first half of the text shows that the Bone Trick comes from an ancient tomb of the orc clan, and the exercises are divided into thirteen layers.
Xuanmen Gong is often based on the number of layers, simply judge its good or bad, the most common such as the gathering of spirit tricks does not exceed seven layers, the thirteenth layer of the true magic trick is actually two more layers than the ghost king body and the three-yuan formula, unearthed as a rare treasure, the initial only for the sect elders and true disciples, but more than 2,000 years no one has refined the three layers, never brilliant. Therefore, the Yunxiao Sect gradually lowered the threshold and began to open it to outer disciples more than a hundred years ago.
"This skill is not classified as an abolition of the wrong exercises, all because the first three layers are extraordinary, but the situation of the next ten layers is very unclear, be careful!"
Xue Tong couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the text of this line, "If this passage is written, who will choose it." ”
"But the intimacy that I can't suppress in my heart is very likely to be the fate that Master Wei said, and besides, my bloodline is special, so it is not appropriate to theorize as usual..."
The light flashed, and a thick roll of animal skin flew out of the jade box.
……
The second floor of the Linglong Tower.
Facing the dense jade box, Xue Tong scratched his head, his precious sect contribution value, what should he exchange for?
He knows that contributions are not easy to come by.
The contribution value system of the disciples and sects of the Yunxiao Sect is extremely exquisite, the miscellaneous disciples work well, and they can apply for promotion if they reach eighty points, and the miscellaneous servants can be upgraded to the outer gate at one o'clock in January, and they can be upgraded to the outer gate at the slowest in seven years.
Outer disciples do not need to work, but there is no stable way to obtain points, and they can only earn points by completing sect tasks or handing in spiritual materials.
Xue Tong contributed sixty points to the sect, and once he ran out, he would have no clue where the new points would come from.
It is because he is especially cautious.
There are various Xuanmen martial arts, which are roughly graded by beginner, intermediate, high, earth, and heavenly levels, and outer disciples can choose junior and intermediate martial arts, and the points correspond to thirty and fifty.
The two things that Xue Tong wanted the most, one was the boxing technique, and the other was the technique of displacement and movement.
"Would you rather have more than you have it or both?" Xue Tong almost broke his head, he had been thinking about it for a long time before he came.
"Emperor Dragon Fist", "Broken Army Fist", "Qinghui Fist", "Soul Splitting Fist", "Ghost Fist"...; "Cicada Step", "Crossing Life Step", "Flying Feather Jue", "Kite Shadow Technique", "Cloud Suogong"...
At this time, Xue Tong truly realized the difficulty of the martial arts immortal path, spirit stones, pills, exercises, martial arts, points... All of them are lacking, change the military fist and the cicada step, or choose a 50-point fist or footwork?
"Bailie Fist still has room to rise, and it has not yet reached its full completion, and with the increase of mana, the fist power has grown, and I have moved too slowly in the fight, and the lack of displacement dodge techniques has reached the point of extremely delaying it."
"Besides, running fast is also a great skill, and sometimes running for your life is even more important than taking someone's life."
"Iris Shadow Technique" shifts shapes and transpositions, dodges and moves, gallops and leaps like a kite, which can be used in fighting and walking.
Xue Tong flipped through the bronze medal and picked the most eye-catching technique.
"There are ten o'clock left, go to the third floor where the book is kept."
The third floor is a huge volume, piled up like a mountain, Xue Tong turned over and over, and selected the classic book "Hundred Runes", which records the drawing methods of the hundred most common spell runes.
"I used the talisman for my own use or sold it to make money, I was too poor."
"Although alchemy and refining tools are good, the initial money is burned and the investment is huge, how can I have the conditions to learn!"
……
"The kid has been in there for more than five hours, which is really long enough." When Han Tieshan saw Xue Tong going out, he immediately shouted.
"The disciple is ashamed, and before he knew it, such a long time had passed."
"Which ones did you choose?" Han Tieshan asked.
Xue Tong reported one by one, observing the changes in Han Tieshan's expression.
"Anything else is understandable, but the Nightmare Bone Trick? Are you mistaken?!"
"This set of exercises is very likely to be wasted, and there is nothing to refine after the three layers, and the first three layers are like purgatory, life is better than death when refined, you have to suffer." Han Tieshan sighed.
"It is said that the first three layers have a good effect, disciple try it." Xue Tong found the steps for himself and said.
Han Tieshan shook his head, "A set of exercises has a hundred contribution points, it's a pity..."
……
Xue Tong changed to the thing he wanted, and he couldn't wait to start refining immediately, but there were still some things that had to be dealt with.
Cuiwei Peak.
Xue Tong learned from Shen Chuanpeng that Chen Zixiong had been accepted as a disciple by Mu Lianggong, but he was sent to guard the Dan furnace the next day, at least for three months.
He then went to Zhou Yan's residence, and it was time for his original promise to be fulfilled.
"Oh, Senior Brother Xue is here, I went to Zhaori Peak to testify last time, and I heard that your cultivation is progressing rapidly, but I didn't expect that now I have entered the outer gate." Zhou Yan was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou, I promised to join the Cangliu Society, how dare I break my trust."
"Good! Senior Brother Xue is a person who values his faith and promises, which is admirable. ”
Zhou Yan completed the formalities, handed Xue Tong a black wood token, and said: "You have entered the Cangliu Society, and in the future, you will take over the task of the sect and open a store in the inner city.
"Hmm."
Xue Tong paused, and then said: "I have something to ask for, my force is low, can I not participate in the tasks in the meeting for the time being, and how about serving again in a year?"
"Hey, once you've joined the gang, you need to follow the arrangement, but don't worry, we won't mess around." Zhou Yan looked embarrassed and did not agree to Xue Tong's request.
"Okay." Xue Tong replied.
He secretly said to himself: "To collect money from others, there is always a price."
Before leaving, Xue Tong relayed Zhu Qingling's words, and Zhou Yan looked a little embarrassed after hearing it, and said in a round: "Zhu law enforcement is not easy to approach, and he often refuses people for thousands of miles, I know."
Scales and mounds quarry.
Xue Tong's "heroic deeds" of fighting the two of them and forcing Lu Fang and Tang Liang out of the sect had already spread, and he returned to the stone house to clean up, and the dress of a disciple of the outer sect almost shocked everyone's eyes.
He asked Xiong Jing and Guan Hongfei to go to the dining hall with a group of six people, and Peng Tai and Zheng Long, who were very bad to him, didn't care about his previous suspicions, opened another table, and told Zhang Datong and Zhao Yuan, who were smiling, that the beast meat spirit tea just had to say hello.
He knows that it is always beneficial to have many connections and few enemies, even if he is like Peng Tai and Zheng Long, he has no major conflicts with these people, he has not formed a big relationship in the past, and he will not be friends in the future, at least he hopes not to be enemies.
After everything was done, Xue Tong returned to Xiaodang Mountain to Ming Wei Geng, received a few transmission notes, and moved into the new residence of Humpback Peak.
