Chapter 17: The Jade Tablet
The thousands of palms carved on the jade tablet are of various shapes and postures. The left hand and the right hand are either fist-clading, or pinching fingers, or stretching out, or holding flowers, as if dancing, and there is no place where they are the same.
In addition to the palms, the jade tablets are also engraved with those mysterious lines. The lines connect the palms of each hand, or draw arcs, or bend into waves, or break layer by layer, or endlessly, and the person who looks at it is dizzy and dazzled.
Li Xuanji looked at those strange and unpredictable patterns, and the situation of cultivating the Spirit Exploration Finger came to his mind. The intricate lines on the jade tablet were like the spider silk he had used for training, and the palms with thousands of postures were like the handprints he had pinched out when he used his soul fingers, which seemed to have a faint hint of rhythm.
Li Xuanji's palm involuntarily began to dance with the movements on the jade tablet, and his consciousness wandered along with those lines, as if using the soul finger to explore those beautiful and mysterious lines. Li Xuanji's eyes only left the world of palms and lines, and the people and things around him gradually forgot everything. The body and mind are so happy, as if they have found a new world, they are no longer restrained, and they jump out directly.
When Jin Ning was still speculating whether the pattern on the jade tablet would be a music score, he found that Li Xuanji next to him was silent, looking at the jade tablet motionless, and shouted a few times without a trace of response. When he was about to pat Li Xuanji on the shoulder, he saw Li Xuanji's hand start to move.
Li Xuanji's hands formed a lotus-like handprint on his chest, and then began to reverse, and the ten fingers bloomed one after another like lotus petals, and then another petal flew and withered. Li Xuanji's hands waved, one after another, like stroking the qin, and as if dancing, the tips of his fingers lit up with spiritual light, flickering and dimming, flying and spinning like fireflies, doing a lot of incomprehensible movements. The temperament on his body has also changed, and he no longer has the breath of a young man, but makes people feel that they don't know where to go.
"Is this a cultivator?" Jin Ning looked at Li Xuanji in surprise as his entire mind was trapped in the jade tablet, his face full of confusion.
"Li Gongzi should have had an epiphany when he watched the monument. I think what is depicted on this jade tablet must be a cultivation technique, and it is a very profound and obscure hand technique. Among us, I am afraid that only Li Gongzi has practiced the magic in his hands, so he is the only one who first realized the extraordinaryness on the jade tablet and found a suitable opportunity to enter the state of epiphany. ”
The girl explained to Jin Ning. Looking at Li Xuanji's fascination, I couldn't help but feel envious. It's a pity that the so-called opportunity is not something you can get if you want it, and this time I really want to go home empty-handed.
Jin Ning looked at the mysterious pattern on the jade tablet and also recognized the girl's speculation. There is no doubt that this jade tablet was left by the Purple Dragon Emperor back then, and the spells recorded on it must also be the most proud spells of the Purple Dragon Emperor, and even a kind of peerless learning that amazes the ages. If you can really learn how to do it, you will wake up laughing when you think about it.
Jin Ning learned from Li Xuanji's appearance and began to imitate the gestures on the jade tablet, and then changed the gestures one by one, but after only imitating a dozen of them, he couldn't stand it anymore and had to stop. Because those gestures will inexplicably make the arm extremely tired and weak, if you want to persevere, your fingers will start to cramp and tremble, and it will be extremely painful, and if you continue, you may be in danger of dislocating your fingers.
Seeing Li Xuanji's hands writhing like butterflies and about to fly, Jin Ning received a huge blow. I have a real woman's hands that are not as flexible as a teenager's. My beautiful hands are only suitable for holding a sword in this life, except for eating.
Unable to learn, Jin Ning no longer entangled in the spells on the jade tablet, and went to other places to hunt for treasures. The girl and the four guards stayed for a while, and after concouraging the pattern on the jade tablet, they found nothing, and left one after another to continue the search.
In Li Xuanji's eyes now, the palms and lines on the jade tablet are no longer rigid patterns, but move like flowing water and clouds, and begin to change in a variety of ways. Sometimes the palms of the hands overlap to form new gestures, sometimes they separate and dissolve into two gestures, each mysterious, yet seemingly reciprocating. There is a feeling of 'two in one life, two in three, and three in everything'.
And those lines that have no regularity at all are also freely transformed and overlapped, gradually becoming more and more regular, forming mysterious symbols or arrays. These symbols combine with those palms to form more esoteric combinations. Li Xuanji, who has been contemplating Dao runes and formations for many years, is keenly aware of the perfect structure of these Dao runes and formations, and there is a mysterious power in them, and the whole person can't help but be deeply fascinated by them.
Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it was. When Li Xuanji's mind was filled with all the gestures and lines, he found that the patterns on the jade tablet had been imprinted into the sea of knowledge by himself unconsciously, and it was extremely clear in his mind, and his own gradually retreated from that mysterious and unpredictable artistic conception.
Although he had the entire pattern on the jade tablet in his mind, Li Xuanji's understanding of it was still at a loss. It's just that I vaguely feel that the realm of my cultivation is greatly advanced.
Li Xuanji moved his stiff and numb body, looked around, but found that there was no one. It is estimated that a few of them were impatient to wait, and ran away to don't go out to explore.
There is nothing to gain from the jade tablet again, and I have never found the feeling I had before. Li Xuanji simply went to collect a little more elixir, and next time he wanted to come in, he didn't know when it would be, maybe all the elixirs would be swept away by the mysterious girl who brought someone back, it was better to get a little more now.
The place in the cave with a radius of 100 zhang is not big, but it is not small. The exotic flowers and plants inside are full of life, like a small world. More than a dozen rare elixirs were found just by Li Xuanji, which shows how many resources the Purple Dragon Emperor had prepared here. I just couldn't guess what his purpose was. And this place has been abandoned for 10,000 years, and most of the elixirs have also been extinct due to unmanaged, and it is already a miracle that more than a dozen elixirs can be left behind.
Li Xuanji bent down and dug out the He Shou Wu tree he had just found along the vines, but found that the body of He Shou Wu, which had already turned into a human form, had already dried up most of it. Although this He Shou Wu is only a descendant of the earliest batch of elixirs, just looking at this humanoid form, it can be concluded that its age has been thousands of years old, and although it is not a miracle medicine for cultivators, it is already a masterpiece among elixirs.
But the shriveled humanoid He Shou Wu in front of him made Li Xuanji feel sorry, and a good rare elixir was destroyed like this. As for why this He Shou Wu became like this, Li Xuanji was at a loss.
Li Xuanji buried the shriveled He Shou Wu back in the soil and continued to look for other elixirs. But when he found a two-thousand-year-old yellow essence, he found that this yellow essence, which had already been reborn from the old body and turned into topaz, was also lost and languished. Next, Li Xuanji found two elixirs again, and they all had the same result!
Could it be that this rare elixir that has been around for more than a thousand years still suffers from disease? Moreover, it is an infectious disease that has never been recorded in the classics.
When Li Xuanji was puzzled, he noticed that something was moving in the soil he had just set aside. If you look closely, you will find the rhizome of a plant, which is as white as jade, as beautiful as a hosta. Li Xuanji thought for a moment, flipped over the yellow essence that had lost the essence in his hand, and found a small hole on it, and there was a trace of medicinal liquid flowing out of the hole, exuding a faint fragrance.
"Could it be that this thing is doing something wrong?" Li Xuanji said in surprise.
There is something that can absorb the medicinal properties of this thousand-year-old elixir! The thousand-year-old elixir is a rare treasure, especially those that have undergone transformation, even people cannot easily damage it. Just like the two-thousand-year-old yellow essence in his hand, it has already transformed into a topaz-like body, and ordinary swords don't want to cut it. However, such a thousand-year-old elixir was pierced into the body by a rhizome as beautiful as a hosta, and most of the medicinal properties were sucked away!
Li Xuanji reached out and carefully grabbed the strange rhizome, wanting to see what it was.
But before Li Xuanji could touch it, it quickly shrank into the dirt.
It will move!
