Cultivation of immortality in the troubled times of demons and martial arts - Chapter 1057
c1054 Old fox digs grave
“The extraordinary way in this world seems to be based on ‘taking food’. It is difficult to practice in the human body, so you need to take various spiritual materials… Well, it is quite similar to my mortal method.”
For monks of the Mortal Law, relying solely on their own hard work to practice, they will only live a lifetime before the bottleneck of old age and death.
The reason why human beings are the wisest of all things is that they are kinder than things.
Fang Xi naturally had no objection to this.
It’s just that the path of this world is a little strange.
Moreover, most of them are related to ‘gods’, although in Fang Xi’s opinion, this god is definitely not a god of incense and fire, but more similar to a demon.
“Worship God…can you break through the realm and become an immortal with just one worship?”
“Even the Incense Divine Way is not that powerful…”
Thinking of this, Fang Xi couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that this path must have a terrible price.
At this time, a cool breeze suddenly blew among the deserted tombs.
Under the reflection of the green flames on the tomb, black shadows swirled around, bringing a strange and mysterious atmosphere.
Woohoo!
A fox barked.
Fang Xi’s sharp eyesight, and with the help of a few phosphorus fires, she saw a white-furred fox that was larger than an ordinary wild dog, with red eyes and long nails, digging into a grave!
It looks very old, its fur is slightly loose, but its movements are not slow at all, and its claws are extremely sharp. No matter what masonry coffin is, it is difficult to stop it, and it can be cut open as easily as tofu.
In the wilderness, the old fox digs into the grave!
This scene is indeed quite captivating.
“It turns out to be a corpse fox…Looking at the white fur, it looks extremely old.”
He sighed, then turned around and ran away.
Before, this old fox was not strong enough for him to strike with a sword.
But at this time, he was just a mortal body. Even though he still had some experience in qi-blood martial arts, he had not started practicing after all.
Now it can only be said that he is rich in experience and can mobilize every ounce of strength in his body.
However, the innate qualities of this body are just like that. Even if they are all mobilized, they may not be the opponent of the demon!
rustle!
Fang Xi was extremely fast, but her footsteps were extremely light. She quietly ran far away under the cover of darkness.
The old corpse-eating fox was only focused on eating, seemingly disdainful of him, and didn’t seem to notice, allowing Fang Xi to leave the mass grave.
“Huh… so dangerous.”
At the foot of the mountain, I saw a few farmhouses not far away, and only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
His current strength is low, and it would be a joke if he died in the hands of such a low-level monster.
‘Well… I don’t have much talent in my current body, and my strength is smaller than that of an ordinary adult… But with my martial arts experience, it won’t be a problem for me to fight several big men with one person…’
‘After a while, when you have enough Qi and blood, you will be able to go deeper…’
As for whether one can achieve transcendence through martial arts, it’s hard to say.
But protecting yourself in a mortal city should not be a big problem.
He sorted out his talents and couldn’t help but shake his head: “It seems that after the awakening of the true spirit, only one ability was brought, and that is the true immortal’s ‘endless longevity’… But although he lives a long life, he still has the calamity of weapons, I’m troubled by illness and hunger… but it’s good to be young forever.”
The former location was called ‘Kurosawa City’.
There is a river passing nearby. The water in this river is somewhat dark, so it is named “Blackpool”.
When Fang Xi passed by the Blackpool River, she couldn’t help but press her eyebrows again, and was attacked by dead memories.
This time, the suffocation and heavy pressure when he was about to die could not move him at all.
But vaguely, he recalled more things.
“Even though I lost my footing and fell into the water, the water quality was actually pretty good… The reason why I almost drowned alive was because a monster attacked me!?”
“The power of that monster in the water is several times that of an ordinary person… Fortunately, it wanted to fake the appearance of me drowning, otherwise if it attacked directly, I would really be doomed…”
Fang Xi recalled the monster’s figure, and felt that it was very mysterious like a human and a shark.
It might even be the rumored ‘Water Monkey’.
“My predecessor has been looking for the legend of the monsters. Unexpectedly, I almost died at the hands of the monsters… Various magical creatures are around me. Could this be the rumored Ye Gong Haolong?”
Not only that, Fang Xi found that the more she recalled the monkey-like, human-like, and mermaid-like creatures in the water, a trace of fear and madness gradually emerged in her heart.
It seems that the vague patterns on the other party’s black hair and scales have turned into strange Taoist cloud seals, explaining different meanings.
The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, the surface of the Blackpool River is sparkling, and there seem to be thousands of snakes and dragons lurking in it.
The waves rising on the river are the reflection of the scales on the backs of countless snakes and carp.
‘It’s a bit weird…but it’s hard to shake my mind. ’
He sensed some dangerous aura and did not approach. Instead, he moved far away and found a place to hide in the wilderness.
…
Giggle!
The rooster sings the east white!
As the rooster crows, the morning light dims, and smoke rises from the farmhouse not far away.
The morning fog is thick, but the dangerous atmosphere in the Blackpool River has dissipated a lot.
Fang Xi saw people lining up at the city gate, waiting to enter the city, and immediately went over to wait.
Half an hour later, the city gate opened, and many farmers carried poles filled with fresh fruits, vegetables and other items, and entered the city one by one without any charge.
Fang Xi mingled among them and walked into the gate of Blackpool City.
As far as the eye can see, there is a street paved with bluestone slabs.
The street was not wide and could only accommodate two carriages running parallel to each other.
All kinds of garbage can be seen everywhere on the roadside, and there is a faint smell.
At the same time, in the shops facing the street, there were workers in twos and threes opening the doors, cleaning the fronts, and removing the door panels.
There is the breakfast shop, which has already set up a shed, and there are a few tables, chairs and benches with missing arms and legs, which are placed on the roadside to attract business.
“They sell cooking cakes, and they cost a lot of money each!”
“Sharpen scissors, sharpen kitchen knives, repair pots and pans…”
“Selling boiling water, just boiled water…”
On the streets, crowds of people began to appear in twos and threes, including breakfast sellers, vendors walking through the streets, and people in a hurry… seeming to gather into a market picture.
Fang Xi took a deep breath, feeling that she hadn’t seen such fireworks in a long time.
‘After all, I am a cultivator. I have been in seclusion for tens or even hundreds of years. I don’t usually associate with such mortals who die in large numbers just by blowing my breath…’
He smiled secretly and shook his head, feeling much calmer again, and even his stomach growled.
‘A generation of Taoist kings starved to death in a foreign land… How can such a word be so miserable? ’
Fang Xi complained in her heart and walked towards the home in her memory.
Turning the corner, a large courtyard with blue bricks and stone tiles emerged. It stood out among the nearby houses and occupied an extremely large area.
At the gate, there is a plaque with three gilded characters “Wuzu Temple” written on it.
This is a temple dedicated to ancestor Wu.
But no one can tell clearly who Martial Ancestor is.
My predecessor had gone in to worship. There was no statue of Wu Ancestor in the main hall, only a big local character – Wu!
However, it is said that if you pay a few kung fu at the temple ceremony, you can learn martial arts for a month – food and accommodation are not included!
“Practice martial arts?”
Fang Xi shook her head in her mind: “Dogs don’t even train!”
Although he still has the same body as before, his control over his body is so exquisite that no martial arts master can match it.
He also has accumulated terrifying martial arts experience.
Although it may not be possible to develop the strength of qi and blood, but at the level of moves that focus on mortal physical strength, it is definitely far superior to this martial arts temple that costs one tael of silver per month.
Unless this martial arts temple also teaches extraordinary skills, there is no need to learn them at all.
But having said that, if you could learn extraordinary martial arts with just one tael of silver, I would have gone to school for a year and a half if I used to like strange things…
One tael of silver is not a small amount.
The most popular currency on the market today is the big money with the ‘Mysterious Treasure’ stamped on it. A thousand big coins are worth only one tael of silver.
In the breakfast shop before, the hot pancakes were tanned with old flour and were as tough as two adult fists. The coolies working on the docks would be full after eating one or two for breakfast, and it only cost a fortune. .
One liter of good-quality white rice weighs about two kilograms and costs only seven or eight dollars.
One tael of silver can buy more than two hundred catties, enough to feed a family of five or six for more than a month.
At this time, Fang Xi looked at Wuzu Temple with a hint of caution: ‘Worship God…’
The road to transcendence in this world, starting from taking food, practicing supernatural powers and then wanting to go deeper, is inseparable from these strange gods.
Fang Xi naturally had to stay away until she fully understood the details.
He walked past Wuzu Temple and turned down a street, then came to an alley.
There is a Sophora japonica planted at the entrance of this alley, and it is called Lao Sophora japonica Alley.
There are more than a dozen families in the alley. There is a courtyard in the deepest part with six or seven houses, a patio, and a sweet water well in the backyard, which is the last legacy of the predecessor.
Fang Xi came to the door of her house and opened the door directly.
A squeak!
The door opens.
A young man in his twenties or thirties with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and honest features walked towards him. When he saw Fang Xi, he immediately shouted: “Ghost!”
“Fuck you big-headed ghost!”
Fang Xi didn’t tolerate it at all and slapped him in the face.
Snapped!
The young man immediately fell to the ground with bright red palm prints on his face.
“Song San, you bastard, you can just bury me in a mass grave, but it’s still a straw mat…”
Fang Xi sneered.
The three ancestors of the Song Dynasty were all slaves of the Fang family. They did not leave even when their predecessor’s family fell into decline. They were truly loyal.
In fact, he bullied his predecessor into turning his back on what was happening outside the window, fooled him into thinking he was a fool, and secretly emptied what little money he had left.
This time, 99% of them are cooperating with other relatives who are beyond their control, and are preparing to die for the last time.
“you……”
Song San still wanted to struggle, but Fang Xi immediately stepped forward, grabbed the man’s joints with his right hand, and twisted it easily.
With a click, Song San’s limbs and joints were dislocated, he fell to the ground and screamed.
“Humph, this is what happens when you betray your master!”
Fang Xi walked into her home and came to a room with a familiar path. She saw a bookshelf inside, with some books and many strange things arranged in a mess.
These are all predecessor collections.
After all, I like rumors about strange things and have collected them for many years. Even if I have been taken advantage of many times, there are still some good things mixed in occasionally.
If it weren’t for these, as well as a legal identity and money, Fang Xi wouldn’t have come back.
‘There are some hidden dangers in this matter…’
‘After all, the person behind this can lure the monster to kill me once, but twice…’
‘But if you can find the extraordinary way, there is nothing to fear. ’
