"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 does have the style of my mortal method."
For monks of the mortal method, relying solely on their own hard work to cultivate, they will only live a lifetime before the bottleneck of old age and death.
The reason why human beings are the superior 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 danced around, bringing a strange and mysterious atmosphere.
Woohoo!
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, 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 and Blood Martial Arts, he had 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 just 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 ran far away without making any sound, using the cover of darkness.
The corpse-eating old 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's not a problem for one person to fight several big men...'
'After a period of time, when you have enough Qi and blood, you will be able to go deeper...'
As for whether martial arts can lead to transcendence, 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'... However, 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 Castle’.
There is a river passing nearby, and the water in this river is somewhat dark, hence the name "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 is actually pretty good... The reason why I almost drowned alive is because there was a monster attack!?"
"That monster's power 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 looked very strange 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, but I didn't expect that 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 opponent'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 carps.
'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.
…
Cack!
The rooster sings the east white!
Accompanied by the crowing of roosters and the dim light of dawn, 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. 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.
The street is not wide and can only accommodate two carriages running in parallel.
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 waiters in twos and threes opening the doors, cleaning the front doors, and removing the door panels.
There was the breakfast shop, which had already set up its shed, and a few tables, chairs and benches with missing arms and legs, which were 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, vendors selling breakfast, vendors walking in the streets, and people in a hurry... It seemed that they had gathered into a picture of a market.
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 interact with mortals who die in large numbers just by blowing my breath...'
He smiled secretly and shook his head. He felt that his mood was much calmer, and his stomach even started 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 gilded characters "Wuzu Temple" written on it.
This is a temple dedicated to worshiping ancestor Wu.
But no one can tell clearly who Wu Zu is.
My predecessor had gone in to pay homage. In the main hall, there was no statue of Wu Zu, only a big local character - Wu!
But 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 based on the physical strength of mortals, it is definitely far superior to the 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.
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 because of my past love of strange things...
One tael of silver is not a small amount.
Nowadays, the most circulated coins in the market are the big coins engraved with "Mysterious Tongbao". A thousand 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 kilograms, 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 wanted 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, so it is called Lao Sophora japonica Alley.
There are more than a dozen families in the alley, and there is a courtyard at the end with six or seven houses, a patio, and a sweet water well in the backyard, which can be regarded as 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 just buried 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, and 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 going on outside the window, treating him like a fool, and secretly drained away what little money he had left.
This time, 90% of the time, he is cooperating with other relatives who are beyond his reach to prepare for the last time to wipe out the family.
"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.
"Huh, 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 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 having 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 a monster to kill me once, but twice...'
'But if you can find the extraordinary way, there will be nothing to fear.'
