Chapter 17 ?
Chapter 17
The animal skin book is one foot square, showing a silver luster, and there are hundreds of characters densely packed on it, not written with pen and ink, but carved with a knife.
Wang Xuan stroked it with his hands, the texture was clear, the touch was obvious, the knife skills were extremely exquisite, and each character had a artistic conception, full of beauty.
However, he doesn't know all the characters!
What kind of ghost is this? There are many strokes and extremely complicated. He wanted to associate with Zhong Dingwen, but found no similarities.
He looked left and right, and it wasn't oracle bone inscriptions. He didn't even know a single word of what era it was written in.
Using the shorthand method, Wang Xuan stared at the hundreds of characters, trying to imprint them into his mind as if they were photos.
It doesn't matter if you don't know each other now, you can go back and find someone to decipher it, and you can always solve it. The most important thing is to keep it firmly in your heart.
In order to keep this operation confidential, no one is allowed to bring mobile phones that can communicate with the outside world, otherwise Wang Xuan can take pictures directly.
Although he has a button-sized micro-scanner on his body, it was given by the expedition organization, and I am afraid he will have to hand it in in the end.
Wang Xuan memorized it silently, but felt that it was quite difficult. He didn't know hundreds of complicated characters, so he could only memorize it by rote.
Fortunately, he has been trained over the years. When he practiced the root method in the old technique, he needed to keep in mind all kinds of complicated scenes, and there should be no omissions.
Now he regards the entire silver animal skin book as a complicated picture scroll, which he engraves in his heart and keeps thinking about it.
Wang Xuan was convinced that there was no problem, and he kept everything in his mind.
But in the end he still turned on the micro-scanner and scanned the text from different directions. He was afraid that the angles would be different, and there would be another mystery.
"Even if I need to hand it in, I hope Aoki will allow me to back it up."
Wang Xuan didn't think about monopolizing it. First, he felt that this was the joint contribution of everyone.
The second is that he believes that eating alone will not end well. Since he has a scanner on his body, it may have been automatically turned on to record all the process of this operation.
There are many magical methods in this world, and there are too many good things. The plutocrats dug all over the old land, and even got rare things like golden bamboo slips, but I haven't heard of anyone who can practice anything.
The key still depends on the person, and in the end, it depends on who can realize that it is fundamental to truly practice what it records.
Wang Xuan seriously doubts that no one can practice this scripture in a short time, and no one can even analyze its essence and meaning.
After all, even the person who was wearing a feather robe and considered to be the most powerful alchemist had been reading this animal skin scroll until his death. He was so powerful that he was still studying it, which is enough to explain the problem.
Then, he took out the jade letter.
The so-called jade letter is a jade box, most of it is white and moist, it is a piece of beautiful jade, only one side has spots of blood stains, it is an ancient relic.
In the middle are several pieces of gold leaf, nailed together, like several pages of gold paper forming a thin gold book.
Wang Xuan looked at it. There were only five pages, and each page had some humanoid patterns on the gold foil. There were no text notes. Those pictures were very coherent, and the description was detailed enough.
He is convinced that this is a physical technique, which seems to be very profound, and involves the complicated movements of mobilizing the internal organs, so it should not be simple.
He began to memorize again. Generally speaking, these familiar figures in human form were far easier to remember than the characters on the silver animal skin scroll.
In the end, he used a scanner to scan the whole golden book and recorded it all.
He knew that the animal skin scroll might not be able to comprehend anything, at least not in a short period of time, it was something that only top alchemists could study.
Perhaps, this golden book is more valuable to him now than the animal skin scroll.
Wang Xuan found a hidden place, with his back against the stone wall, holding an energy gun, and carefully looked at the golden and silver scrolls again.
Time passed quietly, and Aoki, Heihu and others have not come back yet, obviously the underground passage has complicated terrain and was dug like a spider web by the predecessors, and they have trouble chasing the enemy.
I don't know how long it took, but Wang Xuan suddenly shuddered. Without thinking, he raised his hand and swept the energy gun. The dazzling light beam smashed the rocks and scattered them everywhere.
A figure was as agile and ferocious as a tiger or leopard. It moved quickly. After a few dodges, it managed to avoid the beams intertwined by the energy guns, and then leaped like a goshawk to the back of a rock, disappearing from its form.
Wang Xuan is extremely serious, he is definitely a great master!
Just now, that person was less than five meters away from him, and only then did he sense it, and he was as fast as lightning, dodging his strafing shots.
Ordinary people can't do it at all, this person is probably not weaker than Aoki, he has practiced an extremely powerful old technique, and his strength is terrifying.
"My own!" A middle-aged man's voice came from behind the rock, and part of his body was exposed, wearing the same style of protective clothing as Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan did not make a sound, hiding behind the rock mass, holding an energy gun ready to fire at any time.
That person is very dangerous, especially just now when he was about to bully him without a sound, making Wang Xuan's hair stand on end, the other party clearly wanted to do something to him.
There were more than a dozen people coming from outside the underground palace, all holding energy guns, hiding behind rocks and around corners.
A woman said: "We are old acquaintances with Aoki, don't misunderstand, let alone misjudgment, and send the things here quickly. The discovery here is very important, and there is no room for loss. The underground palace, if it is later, reinforcements from the Zhou family and the Ling family may arrive."
Wang Xuan asked: "Since you are the person in charge of responding, why did you do anything to me just now?"
He was sure that if it wasn't for the fact that the energy gun hadn't left his hand and his reaction was extremely sharp, he might have been successfully attacked by a master just now.
The middle-aged man who shot earlier said: "You misunderstood, we need to be vigilant all the time when we enter the cave. I led them to sneak in. Naturally, we must pay attention to checking for danger. You are hiding in the dark. I didn't realize it was my own at first, but young man Your reaction speed is really amazing, not bad!"
Unmoved, Wang Xuan made a hoarse falsetto and said, "Since we are our own, let's wait for Aoki and Heihu to come back together."
The woman seemed a little impatient, and said, "Why didn't you listen to my persuasion? I've said it all, the Zhou family and the Ling family are coming, if you don't want to leave, hurry up and hand over the animal skin roll, and we will send it away first."
Wang Xuan immediately distrusted them even more. He even saw the animal skin roll. Can't he see that he is wearing the same protective clothing? In the end, he still approached secretly, intending to sneak attack him.
Without saying a word, he sneaked into the depths of the underground palace with the help of boulders and other defenses.
After the people behind noticed it, they immediately sped up their pace and chased it down. Wang Xuan was not polite, and directly fired with an energy gun as a warning.
"Qingmu, Heihu, are you back?" Wang Xuan shouted loudly, still in a hoarse falsetto.
There was movement from afar, apparently after such a long time, Aoki, Heihu and others set foot on the return journey.
"Catch up!"
The woman behind shouted, and a group of people followed quickly.
That powerful middle-aged man was the most terrifying, silent, he tried to approach Wang Xuan several times, but was stopped by him with his energy gun.
"Roar!"
In the depths of the underground passage, Aoki's roar came. He sensed that there was something wrong here, so he brought people over quickly.
The terrain of the underground cobweb-like passage is very complicated, Wang Xuan stopped suddenly, quickly found a hidden position to hide, and then shot forward.
Sure enough, in the bright beam of light, I saw the middle-aged man again, going around from another fork in the front, and was about to ambush him just now.
"Jin Chuan, what are you doing here?" Aoki's voice came, his speed was very fast, he had already rushed over, confronting the middle-aged man.
Wang Xuan immediately said: "Qingmu, I got the silver animal skin scroll left by the pre-Qin alchemists. This group of people said they came to meet us and wanted to take the scripture scroll from my hands."
He spoke the process simply and directly.
"Jin Chuan, you're really good at it. Isn't it too much to come here to cut off your beard?!" Aoki immediately became angry when he heard this, with anger.
At the same time, he was also a little happy. They only got an empty gold letter, and Wang Xuan, who was left behind, found the real inheritance.
Jin Chuan slightly apologized, and said: "Aoki, you and I both know that what happened this time is extraordinary, so don't blame me."
"You brought your hands down to snatch it, and let me not blame you?!" Aoki sneered.
Jin Chuan was extremely solemn, and said: "Don't worry, I'll just read it once, and I'll return it to you immediately, and I will never cut it off, I can swear it."
"No, you have touched my bottom line, it is impossible for you to read it." Aoki directly refused.
With a wave of Jin Chuan's hand, the group of people he brought immediately surrounded Wang Xuan's hiding place.
Aoki said coldly: "You really dare to attack us, don't forget, our expedition organization hates internal vendetta and bloodshed the most, whoever dares to do this, when the time comes, other departments will jointly encircle and suppress, no matter you are hiding in the old land , or escape to the new star, there is no way out!"
Jin Chuan shook his head, said with a faint smile: "No, you misunderstood, I just competed with you, those people I brought wanted to compete with Xiao Wang, there will be no bloodshed."
Speaking of this, he ordered those people: "Don't move your guns, and put them on the ground to show your sincerity."
Heihu, Kite and others were not far away at this time, and they shouted in the passage, warning those people in Jinchuan not to act rashly.
Aoki shouted: "Xiao Wang, protect what you got. According to the agreement of our organization, you only need to hand over half of the expedition income. Therefore, it is your own spoils of war. Don't let anyone cut it off!"
Wang Xuan nodded. He was very displeased with this group of latecomers. If he hadn't been vigilant enough, he would have been cleaned up. It might be no problem to survive, but the golden books and silver scrolls would definitely be snatched by these people.
Naturally, Wang Xuan wouldn't be used to them, these people wanted to cut his ass, and now they don't even ask him, they just want to read the scriptures, do they take Xiao Wang seriously?
Those who threw down their energy guns and used the terrain to force them over surrounded Wang Xuan's place, getting closer and closer.
Wang Xuan didn't say anything, and waited quietly, until someone rushed towards him suddenly, then he held guns in both hands and swiped violently.
Plop! Plop!
Several people fell to the ground and fainted, and some masters retreated quickly and managed to escape.
"This young man is not particular about it. He told me everything. We used our bare hands to learn from old techniques, but he fired a gun!" Someone shouted dissatisfied.
Wang Xuan ignores it and pays attention to you? How can it be!
This group of people originally wanted to ambush him and take away his spoils, so what shame is there to talk like that now.
Finally, Heihu and Kite came back first, killed them in a "very particular" manner, and used old techniques to fight against those people.
"Xiao Wang, you should also be 'delicate' and show them your skills." Aoki shouted, he was confronting Jin Chuan, and seemed to be very relieved about the situation here.
Wang Xuan observed for a while, there were still a few young men brought by Jin Chuan who were not confronted, and at the same time they did not have hot weapons in their hands.
Wang Xuan walked out, without further ado, his hands made the sound of wind and thunder, he used the Vajra Fist in his physical technique, and broke into the group of people by himself.
In an instant, the wind in this area was violent, and the ground was trampled and cracked. Wang Xuan's attack power shocked the few people. Such a young old master is really rare!
boom!
For a moment, one of the women was kicked in the face, vomited blood, flew out, hit the stone wall, and lay there limp and motionless.
Click!
Then, another young man was hit on the shoulder armor by Wang Xuan's Vajra Fist, and his bones broke instantly. He groaned and fell into the pile of rubble.
puff!
In the fierce confrontation, the third person was kicked by Wang Xuan in the air, and three ribs were broken.
In a very short period of time, Wang Xuan shot consecutively, overturning five people one after another, and he rushed to the opponents of Heihu, Kite and others.
Heihu and Kite ran fast and came back before the others, each fighting against several opponents.
Now Wang Xuan rushed over, and directly beat one of them to fly seven or eight meters away, making him cough up blood, struggling for a long time and unable to get up.
This is a group of middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s who have already achieved success in practicing old skills. In the end, they were still overwhelmed by Wang Xuan, and some of them broke their arms and ribs directly.
"Stop fighting." Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jin Chuan immediately yelled to stop, and said, "I can't tell, this is still a rookie, he is so fierce, the most important thing is that his hands are so black, even a group of old birds under me can't handle it." Wait, I made a mistake this time, I didn’t bring any masters here except me.”
"Aoki, let's just leave it like this? I owe you a favor, and I will pay you back next time!" Jin Chuan lowered his posture.
Aoki nodded, and said: "Okay, how about showing me the true interpretation of the white tiger scripture handed down by your family next time?"
"Get lost!" Jin Chuan led the people away.
"Let's go too!" After Aoki gathered the people, he quickly left the underground palace with everyone, and soon got on the spaceship and left Qingcheng Mountain smoothly.
The double time period is about to pass, calling for a monthly pass, if you still have books, please do your best.
