Chapter 1054 The old fox digs the grave
“The extraordinary way in this world seems to be based on ‘taking food’. It is difficult to cultivate in the human body, so you need to take various spiritual materials... Well, it is quite similar to my mortal method."
Mortal monks who practice **** their own 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 more kind than others.
Fang Xi naturally has no objection to this.
It’s just that the path of this world is a bit strange.
Moreover, most of them are related to 'gods', although in Fang Xi's opinion, this **** is by no means a **** 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 Shinto is not so powerful...”
Thinking of this, Fang Xi couldn't help but sigh, knowing that this path must have a terrible price.
At this moment, 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.
Woooo!
A fox howled.
Fang Xi's eyes were sharp, and with the help of a few phosphorus fires, she saw a white-furred fox that was larger than an ordinary wild dog. It had red eyes and long nails and was 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 is just a mortal body. Even though he still has some experience in Qi and Blood martial arts, he has not started practicing after all.
Now I can only say that I have rich experience and can mobilize every ounce of strength in my body.
However, the innate qualities of this body are only the same. Even if they are all mobilized, they may not be the opponent of the demon!
Shasha!
Fang Xi was extremely fast, and her footsteps were extremely light. She ran far away without making any sound, using the cover of darkness.
The old corpse-eating fox was only focused on eating, and seemed to be disdainful of him. He didn't seem to notice, and allowed Fang Xi to leave the mass grave.
“Huh…it’s so dangerous.”
At the foot of the mountain, I saw a few farmhouses not far away, and I took a breath just now.
His current strength is low, and it would be a joke if he died in the hands of such a low-level monster.
“Hmm… 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’s not a problem for me to fight several big men with one person…”
‘After a period of time, when you have enough energy and blood, you will be able to go deeper…’
As for whether martial arts can lead to transcendence, it is 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 Life'... However, although he lives a long life, he still suffers from the disasters of weapons and diseases. I'm disturbed by 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, he couldn't help but press his eyebrows again, and was attacked by dead memories.
This time, the suffocation and pressure of dying 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 is actually pretty good... The reason why I almost drowned alive is because a monster attacked me!?"
“The monster’s power in the water is several times that of an ordinary person... Fortunately, it had to fake the appearance of my drowning, otherwise it would have really killed me if it attacked directly..."
Fang Xi recalled the shape of the monster, and felt that it looked very strange like a human and a shark.
Even, it may be the rumored ‘Water Monkey’.
“My predecessor has been looking for legends of monsters, but I didn’t expect that I almost died at the hands of monsters... Various magical creatures are around me. Could this be the legendary 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 little weird...but it can’t shake my mind at all. ’
He sensed some dangerous aura, and instead of approaching, he stayed far away and found a place to hide in the wilderness.
…
ifies!
The rooster sings Eastern 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 queuing 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 with fresh fruits, vegetables and other items, and entered the city one after another 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.
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 clerks in twos and threes opening the doors, cleaning the front doors, and removing the door panels.
There is the early shop, which has already set up its shed, and there are also a few tables, chairs and benches with missing arms and legs, which are placed on the roadside to attract business.
“Selling cooking cakes, they cost a lot of money each!”
“Sharpen scissors, sharpen kitchen knives, repair pots and pans…”
“Selling boiled water, just boiled water…”
On the streets, groups of people began to appear in twos and threes, including breakfast sellers, vendors walking through the streets, and people in a hurry... seeming to form a picture of a market.
Fang Xi took a deep breath, feeling like 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 usually don’t interact with such mortals who die in large numbers just by blowing my breath...'
He smiled secretly and shook his head. He felt much calmer again, and his stomach even began to growl.
‘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 large gilded characters of "Wuzu Temple".
This is a temple dedicated to worshiping the ancestor of Wu.
But no one can tell clearly who Wu Zu is.
The predecessor went in to pay homage. In the main hall, there was no statue of Wu Ancestor, only a big local character - Wu!
It is said that the temple offers some martial arts. If you pay a tael of silver, 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: "You can't even train a dog!"
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.
Have accumulated terrifying martial arts experience.
Although it may not be possible to develop the strength of qi and blood, it is only at the level of moves based on mortal physical strength, which is definitely far beyond the martial arts temple that costs one tael of silver per month.
Unless the 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 learn it for a year and a half since I used to have a fondness for strange things...
One tael of silver is not a small amount.
The most widely circulated coins on the market today are the big coins with the "Mysterious Treasure" stamped on them. 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 fine white rice weighs about two kilograms, and only costs seven or eight taels of cash.
One tael of silver can buy more than two hundred catties, enough to feed a family of five or six people for more than a month.
At this time, Fang Xi looked at Wuzu Temple with a hint of vigilance: '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 he 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, so it is called Lao Sophora japonica Lane.
There are more than a dozen families in the alley. There is a courtyard at the end 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.
Squeak!
The door is open.
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!"
“Damn you, you big-headed ghost!”
Fang Xi didn't tolerate it at all and slapped her across the face.
Snapped!
The young man fell to the ground immediately, with bright red palm prints on his face.
“Song San, you bastard, you just buried me in a mass grave, but it’s still a straw mat...”
Fang Xi sneered.
The third ancestor of the Song Dynasty was a servant of the Fang family. He never left until his predecessor's family fell into decline. He was truly a loyal person.
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 a few other relatives who are out of reach, 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.
“Hmph, this is the consequence of betraying the Lord!”
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 scattered around.
These are the predecessor collections.
After all, I like rumors about strange things and have collected them for many years. Even though 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 the scenes can lure the monster to kill me once, but twice...'
‘But if you can find the extraordinary way, there is nothing to be afraid of. ’
