Chapter 25: The Beastmaster's Formula
Ah Xiu groped for a long time and couldn't find the entrance to the stone room, so he simply picked up a big stone on the ground and smashed it the stone wall, the stone wall was not strong, he just smashed a few times and a two-foot opening appeared, Ah Xiu saw that it was almost there, so he drilled into the hole.
Ah Xiu's figure is not burly, it is easy to get into it, look around, and find that this stone room is square, about seven or eight zhang square, about two zhang high, there are traces of excavation on the walls around it, it is obviously artificially formed, there is something similar to a candlestick on one side of the stone room, and there is a bead on it, that is, it is shining.
Ah Xiu was very surprised, and when he looked closer, he saw that the bead was the size of an egg, and it was dazzling, and the light emitted was enough to illuminate the entire stone room. Ah Xiu looked at it for a moment and didn't realize what it was, so he had to look elsewhere.
There were some dead branches on one side of the candlestick, as well as pots and utensils, presumably for cooking on a human fire, and there was a black rectangular thing against the wall opposite the candlestick, Ah Xiu didn't see what it was at first, but when he got closer, he found that it was a coffin, which was really unexpected by Ah Xiu.
Ah Xiu wanted to open the coffin to see what was going on, but he was a little hesitant, not knowing if it was appropriate to do so. But he thought about it, if the coffin was empty, if he couldn't get out, it would be good to have a place to bury himself when he died, so he grabbed the coffin lid with both hands and pushed it open.
Ah Xiu pushed the lid aside, and the probe looked inside, and a pair of white bones wrapped in tattered clothes were lying horizontally inside, and a small box was placed on the side of the head of the skeleton.
Ah Xiu was first surprised, and then curious, he bowed to the white bone, took out the box with his hand, and looked closely, it was a delicately made wooden box, the outside of the wooden box was carved with an incomprehensible pattern, and I don't know what age it was.
When he opened the wooden box, Ah Xiu saw that there was a set of books, a letter, and a wooden box the size of a palm. He first opened the letter and saw that it was written: I have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than 30 years, studying martial arts and formations, and I will do everything in the world and see all living beings in the world. By chance, I got the key to this exercise, and I wanted to concentrate on cultivation in order to climb the avenue, but I was plotted by the enemy, and I was seriously injured, and my life was short. And I have this strange treasure, I don't want it to be obtained by outsiders, so I built this cave in the trapped dragon mountain, and sealed the entrance with the five elements of the earth array, and wanted to bury my bones here, and sleep with this book. When my limit is approaching, I see my hometown reappear in front of me in a trance, but it is difficult to return, if you have a fate to come here, you will be a person who lives a number of great sheng, the magic elixir in the cave can be taken for your own use, I only hope to be able to transport my bones back to Sangyu Village, Tonghuan Town, Xizhou, and I wish to return to the roots, thank you. Sang Yuzun's farewell letter.
After Ah Xiu finished reading the letter, he secretly thought that it was no wonder that the mountain shook at that time, thinking that it should have been caused by his inadvertent collision with the formation. Maybe this Sang senior set up the formation at that time because he was afraid of someone breaking in, but the actual activation of this formation may not be as imagined at the time, just like himself, although he was in the cave, he was lucky to save his life, and this stone room was not destroyed in the landslide.
"Maybe this is the will of heaven!" Ah Xiu sighed, and took out the set of books again, the book is very thick, there are five volumes, and it feels heavy in his hand, Ah Xiu thinks that this should be the cultivation method written in Sang Yuzun's letter, looking at Sang Yuzun's meaning, his martial arts should have been very strong, enough to be the best in the world, but this recipe has not had time to practice, and it was plotted by someone, so what kind of profound exercise does this have?
The book cover was black, without words, and Ah Xiu opened the first page of the first book, and there were three big words written on it: Beastmaster Jue.
"This name is so domineering!" Ah Xiu sighed in admiration and flipped it back, the book has both words and patterns, some are painted with birds and animals, and some are humanoid patterns, all of which are very realistic.
Ah Xiu put down the book after reading for a while, picked up the small wooden box again, and after opening it, he saw two small porcelain bottles, one red and one white, and a piece of paper was pressed under each small porcelain bottle. The paper under the white bottle reads: Taiyin Pill, taking it can increase strength.
"Is there such a wonderful thing in the world?" Ah Xiu was a little incredulous, "Well, I'm injured now, so I can try one first, even if it's poison." Thinking of this, Ah Xiu poured out a black pill the size of a soybean into the red bottle and swallowed it with one mouth.
Ah Xiu didn't feel anything at first, but after a few moments, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, which was unbearable. Ah Xiu sat on the ground with his stomach covered, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down one by one, and it lasted for a long time, and the abdominal pain gradually subsided, he gasped for breath, felt that his whole body was out of strength, and after resting for a while, his strength recovered slightly, and then he felt some itching on his chest and shoulders, checked it, and found that the wounds on his body had scabbed.
Ah Xiu was surprised and delighted, although he didn't know how long he had passed out, but the time was definitely not long, Rao is recovery ability itself is very strong, but the injury can't be healed so quickly, how can he not be surprised to see the wound heal at a speed visible to the naked eye?
Less painful from the wound, Ah Xiu stood up, and at this time, his stomach rumbled, and the hunger pang came. He went to the side and picked up pots and bowls to find something to eat, but found that the vessels were empty, and there was not even a grain of rice, but he found two flints next to the dead branches, and he tried them, and immediately sparked.
"It's good to be able to make a fire and keep warm. Ah Xiu set up the branches, and when he was about to start the fire, suddenly his mind flashed, and he remembered something, "By the way, there is water outside, and I don't know if there are fish in the water." ”
Ah Xiu hurriedly picked up the beads used for lighting on the wall and drilled out of the hole, ran to the water's edge in three or two steps, but found that this was a dark river, the water was still flowing slowly, he took a closer look into the water, there were really fish, he reached out and grabbed it, but he couldn't catch it, so he had to go back to the hole, pick a long branch, sharpen one end with a dagger, and take it to the river, it took half an hour, and then he inserted two fish that were more than three inches long and could not be said.
Ah Xiu returned to the cave, and after a long time, he lit the fire, put the two fish on the fire and cooked them, and ate them beautifully.
These two fish are not big, not enough to fill Ah Xiu's stomach, but they are much better than not eating them. After the meal, Ashuton felt sleepy, so he used the wooden box as a pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long it took, Ah Xiu woke up in a dream and felt that his whole body was much more relaxed, so he re-studied the set of beastmaster recipes and studied them carefully.
The exercises introduced in the first article of the Beastmaster Jue are called Beastmaster Jin, which is the inner strength of the heart method, and it is also the basis for practicing the whole set of kung fu, and the next few articles introduce the moves respectively, and Ah Xiu took a look at it, respectively, there are tiger style, bull style, eagle style, bat style, etc., there are many moves.
"Okay, it's okay left and right, I'll practice this set of beast king tricks here. Ah Xiu said secretly.
