Chapter 42: Gluttonous Magic (1)
As soon as they heard about robbing the ancient tomb, everyone couldn't help but be curious about the identity of Ning Xiaotang's friend. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Gu Liang Xiaorou asked: "Senior Ning, who is your friend, can you tell me about him?"
Ning Xiaotang smiled and said, "He's just a lazy guy who likes to steal chickens and touch dogs, don't mention it." ā
Seeing that Ning Xiaotang had no intention of continuing, everyone didn't want to ask again.
But the old man asked about the tomb.
"Listening to you say this, since the gluttonous demon skill was obtained from that ancient tomb, could it be said that the owner of that ancient tomb is an important person in the Demon Gate, or even the master of the Demon Gate in previous generations?"
Ning Xiaotang shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, in fact, I also asked my friend about this issue, and he clearly told me that it was not." ā
He said that this gluttonous magic skill was obtained from a dry bone in the entrance passage of the ancient tomb. And judging from the clues left by the dry bones, the original owner of the dry bones is probably also an intruder, and it is very likely that he has a lot to do with the Demon Gate. As for the specific identity of the owner of the dry bones, it is unknown. ā
After that, my friend explored the ancient tomb, and from the analysis of the various words and clues left inside, he felt that the ancient tomb and the demon gate should have nothing to do with each other. ā
"According to my friend, the inside of the tomb was so vast and unimaginably large that it seemed to be a relic of some ancient time. There are many tall circular halls inside, and there are countless interconnected rooms, which extend in all directions, like a labyrinth. The deeper I went, the more I had to stop, and in the end, my friend had no choice but to stop. So, how big the tomb was, in fact, my friend couldn't figure it out in the end. ā
"Senior Ning, is there really such a place? Is this still an ancient tomb? This is completely an underground city. Gu Liang Xiaorou sighed.
Xu Yiqing, Tang Ziyan and others also thought that if there were really such a huge ancient ruins, this could be called a city, but this city was built underground.
Ning Xiaotang smiled and said, "If it weren't for those tombstones and many sarcophagi, it might really be called an underground city." ā
"Ah...... Tombstone, sarcophagus!" Gu Liang Xiaorou exclaimed.
"Otherwise, why would you call it an ancient tomb? Ning Xiaotang smiled lightly, "In addition, although my friend didn't figure out the size of the ancient tomb, there is one thing that he still determined based on various clues. ā
"What's the matter?" Gu Liang Xiaorou said curiously.
Ning Xiaotang said: "In that ancient tomb, there is indeed an ancient mysterious figure buried. Who the man was, and why such a large catacomb, had been a mystery to this day. ā
At this time, the old man glanced at Ning Xiaotang in some surprise and said, "To be honest, I'm quite curious, there is such a place, with your character, I'm afraid I have wanted to explore it for a long time." But now, it seems like you haven't been. ā
Ning Xiaotang sighed slightly and said, "I think you also know that for some reason, I can't leave Shanyin County. ā
"I see. The old man nodded slightly.
Ning Xiaotang couldn't leave Shanyin County, and the old man already knew this.
The old man was even more curious about the reason. What kind of thing can make a character like Ning Xiaotang, whose martial arts are incredibly strong, dare not take a step out of Shanyin County?
He had asked Ning Xiaotang, but Ning Xiaotang did not tell him the reason.
I'm afraid he would never have imagined that the reason why Ning Xiaotang couldn't leave was completely to avoid the catastrophe and to save his life.
Ning Xiaotang naturally wouldn't tell anyone about such a thing.
Gu Liang Xiaorou, Xu Yiqing and others also felt a little strange that Ning Xiaotang couldn't leave Shanyin County, but obviously Ning Xiaotang didn't want to talk more about this topic.
Soon, the topic shifted to gluttonous magic skills, and Ning Xiaotang continued to introduce the exercises.
"Although the gluttonous demon skill book I got from the ancient tomb is a fragment, according to the above content, I have almost figured out the characteristics and shortcomings of this exercise. ā
"The biggest feature of this exercise is undoubtedly that it can absorb the internal force of others and turn it into use. But this is only effective when the martial arts realm is low. The higher the martial arts realm, the weaker its effect. When he reached the late stage of the Tongmai Realm, he could no longer absorb the internal force of others and turn it into use. ā
"That's not right. The old man suddenly wondered, "As far as I know, like the previous generation of Demon Sect Masters, his martial arts realm has even reached the consummation of the Tongmai realm, if this technique has no effect, wouldn't he have abandoned it long ago?" ā
"Old drunkard, there is one thing you may not know, once this gluttonous demonic skill is practiced, it is like a bone appendage, and it will never be able to get rid of it, unless it is death. Ning Xiaotang's indifferent voice shocked everyone.
Demon skills are worthy of being demonic skills, enough to be evil, once you practice, you can't even stop.
"Can you elaborate on that?" said the old man, frowning.
Ning Xiaotang nodded and continued to explain: "After the gluttonous demon skill is cultivated, the exercises will be running all the time, and even if the cultivator wants to stop, he can't stop. If you forcibly stop, there will be a backlash of demonic power, and the meridians will collapse inch by inch, and you will bleed all over your body until you explode and die. ā
Hearing that he died of the explosion, everyone's spine felt a slight chill, and they couldn't imagine that this magic skill was so terrifying.
"And that's just one of the shortcomings of gluttonous magic. Ning Xiaotang continued, "As I said just now, demonic cultivators, once the martial arts realm reaches the late stage of the Tongmai realm, they will no longer be able to absorb the internal power of others. Once the internal force is absorbed, the absorbed internal force should be removed from the body as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will lead to the disorder of true qi, suffer from the devouring of the hearts of ten thousand ants, and eventually bleed to death in the seven orifices. ā
The old man said: "In this way, a character like the previous generation of Demon Gate Sect Masters, even if they use gluttonous demon skills, they can't absorb the internal strength of others?"
Ning Xiaotang said: "That's right, once you reach the late stage of the Tongmai Realm, when you fight, demonic cultivators must try their best to control themselves and not absorb the internal strength of others. Otherwise, it will be extremely troublesome to absorb and then drain the absorbed internal force again. ā
The old man frowned and said, "If this is the case, when the realm of martial arts is high, won't this gluttonous magic skill become an ornament and have no effect?
"You're right, gluttonous magic skills, since they can be regarded as the first magic skills of the demon gate, naturally it can't be decorations. Ning Xiaotang said leisurely, "Because next, what the gluttonous demon skill absorbs is the essence blood of others." ā
"What, sucking the blood of others?"
Hearing this, everyone felt a burst of horror and shuddered.
