Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 113 Bone Monument, Strange Epiphany!

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment, then followed the footsteps of several goblins again, walked forward several hundred meters, and after turning a corner, the corridor ahead seemed to have come to an end.

Several goblins stopped and turned to look at Fang Xu.

"Roar!"

One of the goblins growled, and asked Fang Xu to move forward.

After squeezing past several goblins, Fang Xu came in front of the six goblins. He looked down through the exit of the corridor and a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face!
The exit of this corridor seems to be in the middle of a cliff. About thirty or forty meters below the exit, there is a not-too-large flat area that looks like a miniature square.

There are twelve huge stone pillars standing around the square, each of which is tied with a huge iron chain. The twelve iron chains extend to the middle of the square, hanging a huge bone tablet.

"This is……"

Seeing this scene, Fang Xu immediately thought of the information he had seen in the ruins guide before.

The guide records that somewhere in the second stage of the ruins, there is a magical bone tablet. A warrior with a high level of comprehension can comprehend some remarkable martial arts and secret techniques through the dense patterns on the bone tablet.

Did these goblins bring me here so that I could comprehend the bone tablet?
"You want me to get off?"

Fang Xu turned his head and looked at the human Xiao behind him and spoke.

A goblin in front of him nodded, pointed his finger at the bone tablet, then pointed at the twelve stone pillars around it, and gestured randomly.

Fang Xu looked at it in confusion, not understanding what it was trying to say.

Snapped!
Seeing this, the other Mandrill with a small part of its horn broken off slapped the Mandrill on the head, making it look aggrieved, and then quietly retreated to the side.

The broken-horned goblin came to Fang Xu, picked up twelve stones from the ground, and placed them in front of him in the shape of the twelve stone pillars in the square.

Then he picked up an unknown bone from the entrance of the corridor and placed it in the middle.

"Roar?"

After arranging everything, it growled and looked at Fang Xu, as if asking, do you understand?
"Does this represent the stone pillars and bone tablets below?" Fang Xu asked.

The man-xiao grinned, his expression full of praise, as if to say that the boy is teachable.

After arranging all this, it picked up the middle bone and placed it on top of its head. It slowly squatted down with a look of pain on its face.

Fang Xu was confused.

What does this mean?
Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, the Broken-Horned Mandrill became a little anxious. His huge palm kept pointing at the bones on top of his head, making a downward pressure motion.

"You mean...what's under the bone tablet?" Fang Xu seemed to understand a little and asked puzzledly.

"Roar... Roar..." The broken-horn mandrill was very happy and nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Fang Xu had already roughly figured out the rest of the story.

"Is the person buried under the bone monument a member of your tribe?"

The Broken-Horn Mandrill nodded.

"You want me to help you rescue your people?"

The broken-horn goblin nodded again and looked at Fang Xu with a pleading look.

Fang Xu stretched his head to look at the square below, staring at the huge bone monument, and said with some difficulty: "The bone monument is too big, I don't know if I can move it."

Hearing this, the Broken-Horned Man-Man waved his hands repeatedly, took off the bones on the top of his head, pointed at the bones and made a wiping motion?

Fang Xu frowned, not knowing what it meant.

"I can promise you, but I can't guarantee success."

These goblins helped me just now, and now they ask me for a favor, so I naturally cannot refuse.

"Hooho..."

The broken-horn Xiao nodded quickly, then pointed at Fang Xu, pointed down, then pointed at himself and his companions, pointed down and waved his hand.

This time Fang Xu understood.

"You mean, I can go down, but you can't?"

The Broken-Horn Mandrill nodded quickly.

Fang Xu saw this and said, "Okay, I'll go down now. You guys be careful."

After saying goodbye to the six goblins, Fang Xu stood at the entrance of the corridor, looked at the stone pillar not far ahead, jumped lightly, and landed steadily on the stone pillar. Then he slid along the huge iron chain all the way to the bone monument, flipped over, and landed on the square below.

After landing, he looked up at the heads sticking out of the tunnel entrance and waved at them.

When the man-gods saw that he had landed safely, they all retreated.

Standing in the small square, Fang Xu looked around and saw many warriors sitting cross-legged in various places, quietly comprehending the patterns on the stone tablet. He did not dare to make much noise and prepared to find a place to sit down.

"Fang Xu..."

Fang Xu, who was about to sit down, suddenly heard Huang Qingzhou's voice behind him and turned around immediately.

"Brother Huang!?"

Fang Xu came to Huang Qingzhou with surprise and whispered, "How did Senior Brother Huang get here?"

Huang Qingzhou turned his head and pursed his lips: "I'm lucky. I met Master Ku Lun and followed him here."

Master Kulun?

Fang Xu turned his head to look at the thin old man who was sitting cross-legged not far away. It was none other than Ku Lun, the ascetic from Liangzhou in the northern border whom he met on the street in Fenglin Town that day.

"Grandmaster."

Seeing that Ku Lun was looking at him at this time, Fang Xu hurriedly bowed.

The broken bronze sword in his acupoint space was given to him by Ku Lun.

Kulun didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Fang Xu sat down cross-legged next to Huang Qingzhou.

"Fang Xu, where is Yushan Tianyi?" Huang Qingzhou was a little curious when he saw that Fang Xu was the only one there.

Fang Xu shook his head and said, "After the terrain changed, we were attacked by the followers of the Yanshen Sect and got separated."

After witnessing Yushan Tianyi being taken away by the little leader of the Yanshen Sect, Fang Xu guessed that Yushan Tianyi's fate would not be good.

"It's good to be separated, it's good to be separated!"

Huang Qingzhou pointed to the huge bone tablet in front of him with a happy expression and said, "You have a good talent for martial arts. Study it carefully. After you gain something, we will leave the ruins and take Miss Chu and Miss Lu directly to Zhongzhou."

Maple Forest Town is too chaotic.

Whether it was the Yanshen Sect, Yushan Tianyi, or Su Cheng and the others, in Huang Qingzhou's opinion, none of them were people Fang Xu could deal with.

The only thing we can do now is to go to Zhongzhou as soon as possible.

As long as they reach Zhongzhou and see their master, who will come forward to protect them, at least they won't have to worry about their safety.

Fang Xu nodded upon hearing this.

After witnessing with his own eyes the strange powers displayed by those members of the Yanshen Sect after taking the so-called "divine blood", he knew that the Yanshen Sect was by no means as simple as it seemed.

It was obvious that the other party was coming for him.

If I continue to stay in Fenglin Town, something bad will happen sooner or later.

It is now late July, and there are more than four months left before the entrance examination of the Ascension Association. It is about time to rush to Zhongzhou now.

"Hurry up and comprehend it carefully. I heard that just yesterday, someone comprehended what is believed to be a third-grade martial art from the bone tablet!" Huang Qingzhou said.

Fang Xu frowned. Third-grade martial arts?

Is that guy a fool? He comprehended a third-grade martial art and showed it off?

You know, ordinary martial artists can only practice seventh- and eighth-grade martial arts. Those with some power behind them may have the opportunity to come into contact with sixth-grade martial arts.

As for martial arts above the fifth rank, only the core disciples of some major forces or powerful martial artists can practice them. For example, the Lu family's Yunbo Jin, although only the fifth rank, can be used as a foundation.

Fang Xu felt that even in the entire Dayu Dynasty, only the royal family could possess the third-grade martial arts.

hum!
Fang Xu was wondering in his heart when the bone tablet in front of him suddenly trembled slightly. Then, the twelve iron chains hanging the bone tablet made a slight rattling sound.

A faint blue light suddenly emerged from the huge bone tablet. After the blue light appeared, it flew straight towards a tall woman in purple not far to Fang Xu's left.

The blue light penetrated into her body, and the tall woman in purple showed a smile on her face. She then quickly stood up and walked towards the exit not far away.

In the square, some people with bad intentions saw this and followed quietly.

"See? That woman has mastered a sixth-grade martial art." Huang Qingzhou whispered, "It is said that different grades of martial arts have different colors. No one has mastered the first or second grade yet, so we don't know yet."

"Third and fourth grades are red, fifth and sixth grades are blue, seventh and eighth grades are green, and ninth grade and inferior martial arts are white."

Fang Xu suddenly realized that this was what was happening.

Since there are such obvious characteristics, if you don’t have the strength, it may not be a good thing even if you really comprehend something good.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

The woman just now had only comprehended a sixth-grade martial art, and many people in the square were already paying attention to her and followed her out.

If she had comprehended the fourth or third level, those old fellows at the Martial Honored Realm would probably be tempted.

Forget it, I'd better try to understand it first.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Fang Xu immediately looked at the huge bone monument in front of him.

This bone tablet is about three meters high. It is the skeleton of an unknown creature. It is as white as jade and emits a faint fluorescence. The surface of the bone tablet is densely covered with many strange lines. It looks like... Staring at the lines on the bone tablet, Fang Xu feels more and more familiar.

The lines on it... the Flame Spirit True Solution Slate! ?

Fang Xu suddenly discovered that the patterns on the bone tablet in front of him were exactly the same as the stone tablet that Lu Zhiyuan had given him before!
However, there are more patterns on the bone tablet, and they carry an inexplicable charm.

It would be nice if Mu could be brought here.

Thinking about how Chu Mu understood the "True Explanation of the Flame Spirit" from just one glance at the stone tablet, Fang Xu felt that if Chu Mu was brought to the bone tablet, she would definitely be able to understand something even more amazing.

If I have the chance in the future, I must bring Mu here!
When this thought popped up in his mind, Fang Xu immediately put aside all distracting thoughts and began to comprehend it.

hum!
hum!
When the patterns on the bone tablet came into view, Fang Xu suddenly felt a slight tremor in his chest.

Then, a burning sensation appeared, as if someone had stuffed a red-hot iron into his arms!

He wanted to reach out and grab it, but suddenly found that he could not move his body!

The burning feeling in his chest became stronger and stronger. Fang Xu could clearly feel that his clothes had been torn and the "soldering iron" was burning his skin!

pain!
Heart-wrenching pain!
He could feel the "soldier" on his chest melting and turning into boiling molten iron drilling into his chest!
Afterwards, the extremely hot molten iron flowed slowly along his meridians and blood vessels to his limbs and bones!
As the molten iron flowed, Fang Xu felt as if every one of his meridians was being burned!

This torture made him want to scream, but he couldn't open his mouth.

The molten iron flowed very slowly, spreading from the chest, abdomen, shoulders, limbs, hands and feet, and head...

I don’t know how long it took, but Fang Xu felt as if he was Monkey King being calcined in Laozi’s Eight Trigrams Furnace, and every cell in his body was enduring the high-temperature smelting!

outside world.

Huang Qingzhou was observing the bone tablet and trying to comprehend something when he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Fang Xu not far away from him.

In his eyes, Fang Xu had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, his whole body trembling slightly, and he looked extremely painful.

Huang Qingzhou was a little worried and was about to call out to wake him up.

But at some point, Kulun came to him and stopped him.

"Master Ku Lun, what happened to him?" Huang Qingzhou asked.

Ku Lun's eyes sparkled, and he smiled meaningfully, "After going through this hardship, you will have a promising future, little friend Fang."

Huang Qingzhou didn't understand and could only watch Fang Xu's body gradually turn red, like a cooked prawn.

Time passed bit by bit, and there was no sunrise or sunset in the ruins. Huang Qingzhou just estimated based on his feeling that Fang Xu had been trapped in this situation for at least ten days.

For more than ten days, he has maintained this posture without moving at all.

If he hadn't been able to feel his intermittent breathing, Huang Qingzhou would have been worried that he would have passed away like this.

One day, Huang Qingzhou woke up from his enlightenment and instinctively turned his head to look at Fang Xu, but was shocked to find that the blood in Fang Xu's body was depleting at a terrifying speed!
"Master Kulun!"

Huang Qingzhou shouted in horror, Ku Lun slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked at Fang Xu, a solemn look appeared on his face.

For a warrior, Qi and blood are the foundation.

At this moment, Fang Xu's energy and blood were depleting at a speed visible to the naked eye. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before his energy and blood were completely consumed.

By then, even a god would have a hard time finding his way!
"Master, wake him up quickly!" Huang Qingzhou said.

Ku Lun's eyes flashed with brilliance as he stared at Fang Xu.

"Need not."

Practicing the way of asceticism, Ku Lun could clearly feel that although Fang Xu's energy and blood were rapidly declining, his spiritual strength was still strong.

In Kulun's view, this situation is similar to the path of asceticism.

"But..." Huang Qingzhou couldn't see all this, he just felt that Fang Xu had very little energy and blood left in his body. If he continued, he would die.

Just when he was hesitating whether to wake Fang Xu up——

hum!
The bone tablet in front of him suddenly trembled slightly, and then -

Wow!

Wow!

The twelve chains connecting the bone tablet made a sound, and the fluorescent bone tablet suddenly burst out with a white light, directly enveloping Fang Xu.

The movement of the bone tablet immediately attracted the attention of other warriors in the square.

But when they saw that the bone tablet was only emitting white light, all the warriors immediately lost interest.

Except for Fang Xu, the warriors who can come here have cultivation levels lower than the seventh level of martial artist.

Martial arts, skills, secret techniques, etc. below the seventh level are not very attractive at all.

Many warriors glanced at Fang Xu and were about to continue comprehending the bone tablet, but someone unexpectedly discovered that the bone tablet had been pouring white light towards Fang Xu.

Not only that, as time went on, the white light became more and more intense!

Such a strange scene naturally attracted the attention of some people.

They really wanted to know what Fang Xu had realized.

Beside Fang Xu, Huang Qingzhou and Ku Lun looked at the strange scene before them and did not dare to say a word.

Having been with Fang Xu for a long time, Huang Qingzhou knew very well that Fang Xu had a strong talent for martial arts. He did not believe that Fang Xu could only comprehend ninth-grade martial arts from the bone tablet.

As a martial arts master comparable to the elders of the Ascension Society, Ku Lun can obviously see much more than Huang Qingzhou.

At this moment, in his eyes, Fang Xu was like a rotten dead tree, but it contained endless vitality.

Not only that, Ku Lun also felt a terrifying blood and energy force in Fang Xu's body that seemed to be sealed!

Once this energy and blood force erupts...

Just as Ku Lun thought of this, a terrifying energy and blood force suddenly burst out from Fang Xu in front of him!

This energy and blood force was extremely terrifying. The moment it exploded, a blood-colored eggshell formed directly on Fang Xu's body surface, quickly wrapping up his body!
At the same time, the color of the light beam connecting the bone tablet to it gradually changed!
A hint of green slowly began to appear in the extreme white light.

"Changed!"

"green!"

"Is this the eighth rank?"

"It's really strange. After all this time, this is the first time I've seen someone's martial arts skills being upgraded."

"Who is this kid?"

"I don't know, but the two people next to him are both extraordinary figures!"

"That's Master Kulun. The other young man seems to be a disciple of Deacon Xu of the Ascension Society..."

The square was not big, and the noise made by Fang Xu instantly attracted everyone's attention. The warriors present were no longer in the mood to comprehend the bone tablet. They all looked at Fang Xu eagerly, wanting to see what he had realized.

As for Fang Xu, his body was undergoing an indescribable melting process, which caused his energy and blood to be rapidly consumed.

Just when his own energy and blood were about to be exhausted, the divine servant hidden in his body finally moved.

Previously, he used the "Yin Yang Xuan Cai Jing" to absorb nearly 90% of Yushan Tianyi's cultivation and qi and blood power.

But later, facing the pursuit of Yanshen Sect, he did not have time to refine these energy and blood forces, so they were directly swallowed up by the divine servants.

Now, the divine servant sensed the crisis and immediately released the energy and blood.

With 90% of the blood and energy of a Martial Honor Level 3 warrior supplied, Fang Xu's own consumed blood and energy was quickly replenished, and the blood and energy continuously released by the divine servant was able to offset this consumption.

To maintain the fullness of qi and blood, although Fang Xu closed his eyes, all the patterns on the bone tablet in front of him could still be easily reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, he finally witnessed the playful words coming out of Chu Mu's mouth.

The complex patterns twisted slowly like earthworms, gradually evolving into words that Fang Xu could read and understand.

These words, accompanied by a strange artistic conception, were instilled into his mind bit by bit.

In the outside world, the beam of light connecting to Fang Xu had now completely turned light green.

This scene amazed all the warriors.

"Have you noticed that the color of the light column is gradually getting darker?"

A warrior spoke.

The other warriors took a closer look and noticed that the originally light green beam of light was actually turning into dark green.

This means that what Fang Xu has comprehended is transforming from the eighth level to the seventh level.

"It's really strange, will this beam of light turn blue soon?" a warrior murmured.

The bone tablet seemed to understand what he said. The color of the light column changed from light green to dark green, and suddenly a faint blue color bloomed in the middle!

Seeing this scene, everyone lost their composure!
Sixth grade!

The appearance of blue means that what Fang Xu has comprehended, whether it is martial arts or secret techniques, has reached the sixth level!
If it is a sixth-grade martial art, it would be better. Most of the warriors who can come here have cultivated sixth-grade martial arts. But if it is a secret technique, it would be different.

Although both are of the sixth rank, their skills and secret techniques are much rarer than their martial arts.

Seeing the light blue color in the beam of light becoming increasingly darker, greed appeared in the eyes of many warriors. But when they glanced at Ku Lun and Huang Qingzhou beside Fang Xu, the greed in their eyes instantly disappeared.

Ku Lun's strength, coupled with the reputation of the Ascension Society, made them dare not have any other ideas.
