Chapter 228 Domination Fist (please subscribe)

Once the Oran survivors left, only Ji Xun and Gong Wu were left in the mine.

Those are outsiders.

They seem to be the masters.

Ji Xun jumped off the cliff and stood on the messy ruins. He picked up the glowing "turbid crystallization of fighting spirit" among the rubble with great interest.

  Don’t look at it, the most indispensable thing in the mine is this stuff, you can see it everywhere.

 But in the outside world, this is high-quality spiritual material that is hard to come by.

 And Ji Xun’s own needs are also very large.

After all, he can't stay in the mines all his life and practice hard. These crystal nuclei are like dry food, which can greatly increase his mental strength.

 The more the merrier.

“Yo, there are so many crystal nuclei exploded.”

Ji Xun searched everywhere and gained a huge harvest.

The seventh floor of this mine is already the most polluted, and it also produces the highest quality crystal nuclei in the entire mine.

 On the fourth floor, there are mostly diamond-like crystal nuclei.

 The size of a fingernail is already the best.

 But here, walnut-sized crystal nuclei can be seen everywhere.

 Fist-sized crystal nuclei can also be seen occasionally.

During the two months he stayed in the mine, Ji Xun had actually gone through it in his free time, and he also knew that there were more in the rock formations.

  Unfortunately, the rock walls get harder as you go down the mine. They are comparable to alloys and are very difficult to mine.

 Fortunately, the previous battle involving tens of thousands of undead knights was very noisy, and a lot of rock blocks collapsed, and a lot of crystal cores fell out of them.

The dignified new king of Oran would naturally not do the work of a low-level man who collects ore. He probably felt that it was his own mine anyway and things would not escape, so he left angrily.

 This is also convenient for Ji Xun.

Like picking mushrooms, he found a forest of mushrooms in the forest, one after another, overwhelming them.

On the other side, Gong Wu stood in front of the bottomless pit, wondering about something.

 Then he jumped down.

　　It didn’t take long for me to jump up again.

Ji Xun looked at the people coming up and asked curiously: "Senior, what did you find?"

Thinking about the new king of Oran just now, he went down and picked up some broken armors and stuff, and there might be a surprise.

"nothing."

The old man shrugged and responded: "Those people channeled the heroic spirits of the Moon Cross Knights before, and now the spiritual pollution in this pit has become smaller. I just went down and took a look. I can see the stone tablet clearly. If I go further, I can't see anything anymore. I can't find the bottom."

"oh?"

Ji Xun heard this and walked over.

 He stood beside the pit and looked down.

 Before, it was like a pool of ink, completely black.

Now it looks like it is filled with fog, and a black obelisk can be vaguely seen.

Looking at this style, Ji Xun muttered in his mind: "Is it really the same style?"

This is exactly the same as the one he saw in the underground palace of Xia Mu City ruins before.

But at the same time, he was also very curious. What exactly was recorded on this stone tablet?

He remembered that Catalina was led by Old Man Xu to inspect the stone tablet, and then she directly understood the magic solution.

Ji Xun looked really greedy.

Now he encountered another stone tablet. He couldn't help but wanted to take a look at it, so he asked: "Senior, what is written on that stone tablet?"

Last time, Old Man Xu didn’t know why he was avoiding something, so he didn’t say anything.

I don’t know if the old man in front of me knows this.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head decisively and said, "How do I know?"

As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun's questioning look of "How could you not know?", and felt a little embarrassed. He did not forget to explain: "This stone tablet is recorded in high-level devil language. I am not a [Eruditionist] path. How can you understand it?"

 I paid it by mistake.

 I thought you could understand it, senior.

Ji Xun listened and glanced at it, but he also thought to himself: I have met several people who can understand.

With this thought, he remembered that in addition to Old Man Xu, Che Er and Catalina, there was also a cloaked man from the Thirteen Kamen Riders who also went to watch.

Now that I think of that mask, I realize it is the "Light Chaser".

Thinking of this, Ji Xun unconsciously had a thought in his mind: Could that person have also seen this stone tablet?

 After all, this mine has been discovered for many years.

 Or maybe this senior also knows Mr. Xu?

 No matter who I meet, I feel that the fate is wonderful.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun asked casually: "Senior, has anyone come to inspect this stone tablet before?"

Hearing this, Gong Wu didn't know what he thought of. He paused for a moment, showed a hint of caution on his brows, and asked: "Why did you think of asking this?"

Ji Xun originally asked casually, but when he thought about the tone, he really did?

He suddenly realized what secret this might involve, and became even more curious: "I have encountered a stone tablet like this before. By the way, do you know Old Man Xu? There is a man nicknamed 'Dog King'."

 He did not dare to be too straightforward.

 After all, the cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu is very fatal.

 Even if we talk about it, we will be involved.

This kind of cause and effect has nothing to do with rank and strength, but fate.

ˆ “.”

Once he heard this, Gong Wu's expression became even weirder.

 He looked at Ji Xun from side to side, seeming to be even more surprised: Why do you know him?

　　After pondering for a moment, the old man said very cautiously: "Are you a wretched old man with missing front teeth? And he often forgets things?"

Ji Xun heard this description and said, "Do you really know him?"

 This statement makes it seem like time has been suspended.

 There was silence in the mine.

 Both of them realized that they were talking about the same person.

 And obviously, Gong Wu also knew the cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu.

 “That senior.”

Gong Wu’s expression was very complicated and he hesitated to speak.

　　After all, I didn’t say it out loud.

Instead, he looked at Ji Xun and said meaningfully: "That's right. You've met your destiny, so it's normal for you to survive."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun rolled his eyes.

This old man obviously also knows the "cause and effect".

Gong Wu continued: "I know what you want to ask. But I don't know either. 'That one' is an unsolvable mystery for anyone."

"oh."

Ji Xun listened and didn’t ask any more questions.

 But then he asked about another one, and said: "Then do you know the "Light Chaser" of the Thirteen Kamen Riders? "

As soon as these words came out, Gong Wu, the old man opposite, twitched his face and looked at Ji Xun like he was looking at a monster: "Do you still know that guy?"

 And it’s a coincidence.

The two people Ji Xun asked had actually come to inspect this stone tablet.

 But Gong Wu knew very well that this was a topic that could not be mentioned to others.

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun looked at the old man's expression and knew that he might have guessed correctly.

But he was actually more curious about whether the "Light Chaser" was the mushroom-headed Jia Yu he knew.

There are only a few people standing on the top of the mountain to admire the scenery, and they probably know each other.

He felt that the old man might know it, so he said directly: "I have seen the "Light Chaser" several times."

The topic of Thirteen Knights is not a taboo. Gong Wu looked at Ji Xun with a slightly complicated expression, mixed with doubts: "Do you really know Gurney?"

　　　　???”

Ji Xun shook his head when he heard this unfamiliar name, then realized that he seemed to have guessed wrong.

He asked in return: "Do you know a man named Jia Yu, who has a mushroom head and is a little younger than me?"

Gong Wu also shook his head: "I don't know."

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun felt as if he had guessed wrong.

Perhaps Mushroom Head is just a member of the Thirteen Knights, not the leader?

 The stone tablet was at his feet, and Ji Xun's curiosity became more and more intense.

He returned to the previous topic and asked: "Senior, what is that stone tablet? Can you tell me?"

Gong Wu obviously thought about whether he could say it, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This is called the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]. It is said to record the secrets of the 'catastrophe' that led to the fall of the Talon Dynasty. There are also some that are not currently available. Cracking taboo content.”

Ji Xun: Catastrophe?

The Old World is now full of ruins and human beings are banned. He is also curious about what kind of civilization-destroying disaster happened three thousand years ago.

Seeing Ji Xun's longing look, he added: "Don't count on me. I can't understand it either. That guy Gu Ni can understand a little bit, but... he said that only those who can understand this stone tablet Only people are qualified to see it.”

"oh?"

Ji Xun’s expression lit up when he heard this.

 In other words, as long as you can understand it, you can read it, right?

He was previously worried that the content on the stone tablet would be contaminated with "indescribable" contamination, and that reading it would cause him to go crazy.

Now that I hear it, it seems like I can give it a try?

 He proposed enthusiastically: "Senior, how about you take me down to have a look?"

Ji Xun couldn't go down by himself, so he could only count on this person.

When Gong Wu heard this, he was not surprised. Ji Xun thought about it, but he was surprised: "You kid can still understand advanced devil language?"

 “Just a little.”

Ji Xun responded and added: "How much you can understand depends on your luck."

I couldn't understand it before, but after JOKER solved it, I was able to understand part of the content on the bronze tablet, and I think I can also understand the stone tablet.

Gong Wu's eyelids twitched inexplicably, which already showed his thoughts: Why do you think you know how to order everything?

A flash of thought appeared on the old, windswept and sallow face. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Okay! Then I'll take your kid down to have a look."

 He was actually also curious about what Ji Xun could see.

 Speaking, Gong Wu raised it with one hand, and the two of them fell down.

 The moment he jumped in, Ji Xun felt like he had jumped into the lava of a volcano crater.

The mental pollution around him turned into a wave of demons with teeth and claws, and his eyes instantly became trance-like.

 Fortunately, I have the protection of Gong Wu around me.

 With a display of divine power, an invisible field was formed, which isolated most of the pollution.

Ji Xun was finally freed from the nightmare feeling, and his vision became clearer.

 The two of them went down all the way and soon came to a ledge.

There is a black stone tablet more than three meters high standing here. Gong Wu urged: "Hold on tight, kid, I won't be able to hold on for long."

"oh."

As soon as the clown's shadow appeared behind Ji Xun, his eyes immediately fell on the stone tablet.

 Higher Demonic Language is the language of the gods after all, and humans can only understand a part of it that they can understand cognitively.

Ji Xun was watching with concentration. The golden characters on the stone tablet were running around like tadpoles.

 The information obtained is very fragmented and obscure.

This is not the first time Ji Xun has seen high-level devil language, and he is already familiar with the feeling of a massive amount of information pouring into his brain and burning it up. He also tried hard to write down some of the few words he saw: "Fire Fire City", "Bury six million people", "Seal.", "Cut off pollution", "Source of disaster".

It seemed like only a few breaths had passed before he felt Gong Wu twisting the back of his neck and jumping out.

With a slight movement of his body, Ji Xun woke up from his sleepwalking state and turned to look at the old man in confusion: "???"

I have only been watching for a while, how did you get me out?

Gong Wu said with a serious face: "You almost got lost just now."

Hearing this, Ji Xun immediately became serious.

At this moment he realized that something dangerous had just happened that he was not aware of.

The old man was not surprised and said calmly: "High-level devil language contains too much super-cognitive information. If you don't understand it, it's actually your own cognitive barrier that is protecting you. You kid is too focused on learning, but in this case It's a hidden danger. If I hadn't pulled you just now, you would have gone crazy."

 “Thank you, senior.”

Ji Xun understood what happened.

This stone tablet is indeed not something he can see now.

But at the same time, he was thinking about the information he just saw in his mind, and he said it.

It's all fragmentary information, which doesn't sound very useful.

Gong Wu also thought it was normal and said: "It's pretty good for your rank to be able to see these contents."

"Um."

Ji Xun was also slightly disappointed.

 Originally I thought I could get some chance from the stone tablet, but there was only a little bit of fragmentary information.

Mentioning this, Gong Wu thought of something, and followed the topic and said: "If you want to understand more advanced devil language, you need to improve your brain and mental endurance. Your mental power is very special, and your potential is very high. . But the three times you have advanced so far have all been in the melee system, so it is normal that your performance in this area is not particularly ideal. In the future, you can consider adding careers related to [wisdom] when you advance. Your devil mark is very special and can withstand it. A career path that no one else can afford”

To others, the idea of ​​switching from "melee type" to "spiritual type" is simply courting death.

But【JOKER】is different.

After careful observation in the past two months, Gong Wu has clearly understood that this sequence is not about "being specific and precise", but about taking the path of being "accommodating all methods".

 On the contrary, taking the martial arts path alone will limit the upper limit of potential.

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded seriously.

These seniors who are at the top can see some things more accurately than he can.

 This career direction can indeed be planned.

Speaking of this, Gong Wu didn't know what picture came to mind, and said with a smile: "But having said that, Merlin's ability is related to cognition. If you have time, you can try his ability. It can improve the brain. But experience It just doesn’t feel good.”

"Um."

Ji Xun knew as soon as he saw the old man's expression that something was up.

 But since he said that, he also took note of it carefully.

At this time, something suddenly popped up in Ji Xun's mind, and he said: "Oh, senior, I just saw a spell on the stone tablet. It probably looks like this."

That symbol is very strange. Although I can never forget it, I always feel like it is "sliding away".

As he spoke, he was really afraid that he would forget, so he quickly condensed his energy into an irregular symbol in the shape of a snowflake between his fingers.

　　 is not flat, but a complex three-dimensional symbol.

After concentrating, he asked again: "Senior, do you know what this 'snowflake symbol' means?"

　　　　!!”

When Gong Wu saw this symbol, his pupils shrank like pinpricks.

 He has actually seen it!

 This is not a snowflake.

 But "taboo"!

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun knew as soon as he saw his expression that things might not be simple.

 I didn’t think about asking any more questions.

Unexpectedly, Gong Wu said with a serious expression that he had never seen before: "This symbol represents 'plague'."

Ji Xun didn't know what this meant, that such a master at the pinnacle of martial arts could be so serious: "Plague?"

Gong Wu's eyes were as hazy as fog, and he said: "I don't know what it refers to. But I know that it can make that guy Guni regard it as a 'taboo' and even dare not mention it. The content that this symbol refers to must be "Extremely dangerous"

Ji Xun listened with the same serious expression.

 In this world, curiosity can really kill people.

This world is not that beautiful. There are many "taboo" topics, and even mentioning them can be fatal.

 For example, the ancient gods, such as Old Man Xu.

Although Ji Xun didn't know the "Guni", when he heard what the old man said, he knew that the situation was serious and decided not to ask any more questions.

But when this topic came up, Gong Wu seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to speak: "This is what Guni told me after seeing the stone tablet a few years ago."

As he spoke, he sighed inexplicably: "That guy Gurney said that the reason why this stone tablet is recorded in high-level demonic language is that the content on the stone tablet does not want to be seen by people who are not high enough. Otherwise, those predecessors deliberately buried it The 'historical truth' could lead to big trouble."

Ji Xun was thoughtful.

Gong Wu continued: "After seeing the stone tablet, he told me that he was going to Bureau Also, if you meet someone who can see this symbol, you can also say a few words he left behind."

When Ji Xun heard this topic, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.

 He suddenly thought of a possibility.

That "Guni" is indeed the leader of the Thirteen Knights, but he is the previous "Light Chaser"!

 And I guessed it right.

 The "Light Chaser" he saw belonged to this term, and most likely it was Jia Yu!

Like a button on a piece of clothing that is buttoned in the wrong place.

 Change it over and it will be right all of a sudden.

And what the old man said completes the most critical link in a story chain: that is why Jia Yu lurks around Xie Guozhong!

 Ji Xun saw Jia Yu for the first time. The mushroom head was Xie Guozhong’s assistant.

Now that we know that he is a member of the Thirteen Knights and is ridiculously powerful, the identity of "assistant" is very intriguing!

 Ji Xunxiang didn’t understand it before.

Now when I listen to it, my thoughts automatically connect together.

It is very possible that the previous "Light Chaser" went to Bureau X to investigate something and had an accident.

Then as the successor, Jia Yu will continue to choose to infiltrate undercover.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Ji Xun completed the puzzle in his mind and immediately realized that the matter was more serious than expected.

The "Light Chaser" who is the leader of the Thirteen Knights is already at the pinnacle of card masters, yet something unexpected happened?

Then why did he go to Bureau X to investigate?

  What kind of terrifying existence is there in Bureau X?

 Thinking again about the ruins of Xia Ranch, Ji Xun himself was hunted down by members of the Bureau X Tribunal.

At that time, those people came with the "Nanjing fate" in mind.

This behavior is inherently suspicious.

Bureau X is a neutral asylum. How could it come to kill a Nan Jing for no reason?

Furthermore, the last time he saw Xie Guozhong, he mentioned that he had a vague feeling that something had happened within Bureau X.

He voluntarily was imprisoned and went to the Dragon City headquarters because he actually wanted to secretly investigate the truth of the matter.

The more Ji Xun thought about it, the more confusing it became.

 While completing a story chain, new questions about beheading emerged one after another.

Now it seems that the source of all these doubts points to the content on the stone tablet?

Ji Xun rolled his eyes and asked, "Is that senior Guni powerful?"

Gong Wu also had a touch of melancholy in his tone: "It cannot simply be said that we can't beat him. His field of "I am the world" is very evil. When you fight him, it feels like you are fighting against the whole world. Unless the strength is much, much higher than him, I can't think of anyone of the same level who can really kill him. "

An opponent is hard to find.

 Have fought against each other, once been enemies, and later became friends.

Ji Xun heard this comment and did not continue to ask any more questions.

 In this exchange, both he and Gong Wu had actually seen that this stone tablet involved too much.

The two of them did not continue chatting about those "taboo topics".

 After a moment of silence, the solemnity on Gong Wu's face instantly dissipated, as if he had made some decision: "Forget it. Anyway, it's almost time to go into seclusion. It's time to go out and have a look."

 For a martial artist like him, maneuvering and other things are never something he has to consider.

The old man said more than once that only those who are not strong enough can think about those fancy strategies.

Try not to force yourself into problems that can be solved by hand.

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xun, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you always complain about not learning martial arts? Do you want to learn something powerful?"

Since I plan to go out, I can’t teach as leisurely as I do now.

 There are some basic things that should be taught, so teach them all.

Ji Xun looked at this expression and knew that this bad old man had no good intentions, but he was also looking forward to it and said loudly: "Learn!"

 The past two months have been spent practicing the basics of Qigong. I have mastered the tricks, and it will take time to accumulate them later.

Just as he was talking about how to use the old man's basic martial arts skills, he took the initiative to suggest it without thinking.

Gong Wu chuckled and said in a deep voice: "I have learned quite a lot in my life. I am proficient in 302 martial arts routines, 72 ancient martial arts skills, and countless incomplete moves. After spending decades in seclusion, I reduced the complex to simplicity, and gained Create a boxing technique. Let’s name it [Ba Fist].”

They have become very familiar with each other after two months of getting along. As soon as Ji Xun heard this coquettish opening, he knew that this old man was going to get serious.

And as soon as I heard this name, I felt domineering, and I was instantly full of expectations.

Gong Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "Later I went into seclusion here, realized the power of the gods, and realized the true meaning of martial arts. It is said to be boxing, but in fact it is 'intention' and 'qi'. This [Ba Fist] can be said to be what I have learned all my life. Essence.”

He looked at Ji Xun, paused for a moment, and then said: "It can be said that if you learn it, you can use it as a basis to activate all fighting skills."

 As soon as he said these words, even if he did not release his divine power, his whole body still exuded an invisible aura.

This is the domineering spirit of a qigong master who stands at the pinnacle of the card master's combat power.

 He uses force to look down on the world!

How heroic and arrogant!

Just looking at the figure on the top of the mountain, Ji Xun felt his heart and blood surge inexplicably.

And as soon as he heard this description, a term from his previous life suddenly popped into his mind: Xiao Wuxiang Gong!

Although the old man likes to brag.

 But he is also really awesome!

Waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Ji Xun made no secret of his deep expectations and said, "Senior, please give me some advice."

 “Haha. That’s fine.”

Gong Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Since you want to learn, then study hard. Your current level of understanding [Ba Fist] is still far from adequate. Learn as much as you can understand. If you don't understand, just remember and let time pass. Comprehension.”

As he spoke, what he saw in front of him turned into a series of phantoms.

Ji Xun had just prepared his defense, but in the blink of an eye he was filled with fists like a rainstorm.

　　I didn’t feel the fist touching my body, but the energy around me was already exploding.

 In an instant, his whole body flew up like a balloon.

Only ripples of gas explosions could be seen in the air.

Before I had time to think about what was happening, I heard the lingering sound of the essence of boxing: "All living things have 'qi'. I have been trying to compress the power of the curse and condense the Gang Qi all my life. Qi is neither invisible nor intangible. Like wind, like lightning, like destruction, it has no form, but it also has form, like a blade, like a feather, like a mountain. This fist of mine can collapse mountains, crack the ground, and destroy cities. It can level it, but my heart is not level!"

 This day.

Ji Xun kept flying in the sky and did not land for a long time.
