Chapter 337 Arriving at Leishan and Obtaining Ancient Martial Arts
The Blackwater Bandits are a well-known gang of bandits in the vicinity. They often rob people on the road, and sometimes even attack small towns or small sects to plunder. They do all kinds of evil things.
Wei Fan checked with the Demon Hunter badge and found that there was indeed a bounty for the Blackwater Bandits.
Although the Demon Hunter Organization only deals with demons and does not care about internal struggles among humans and bandits, the Demon Hunter Organizations in the five major domains are different from those in the wasteland.
The Demon Hunters in the five major domains are more like bounty hunters. In addition to the tasks issued by the Demon Hunter Organization itself, individuals can also issue some tasks through the Demon Hunter Organization, such as escorting, protecting or rewarding bandits, flower thieves, and masters of magic.
After all, a huge organization spanning the five major domains also needs some income. These bounty tasks are part of the income of the Demon Hunter Organization. Moreover, Demon Hunters cannot rely solely on merits, but also need spirit crystals to practice.
However, the Demon Hunter Organization would not help to release the bounty for Wei Fan, as it was a relatively neutral organization.
Since Liya didn't need an escort, Wei Fan wanted to see if he could kill the Blackwater Bandits. However, he carefully checked the information of the Blackwater Bandits and found that the Blackwater Bandits' base was not included in the missions released by the Demon Hunter Organization.
Whoosh...
In the middle of the night, three strong old men appeared outside the temple. They were all elders of the ninth level of the White Bone Tribe. Two of them Wei Fan had seen when he was in the White Bone Tribe.
"Friend Wei Fan, did you save Qi Chao and the others?"
The three elders who came were very happy to see Wei Fan.
Wei Fan shook his head and recognized Qi Chao as a member of the White Bone Tribe. He did intend to help him at that time, but the Blackwater Bandits' Martial King said something unpleasant, which angered Liya's brother Qi Chao. Before he could reveal his identity, Qi Chao appeared on the altar and killed all the Blackwater Bandits.
"You used... it?" The elder named Qi Ang's expression changed, and the expressions of the other two elders were not good either, and their eyes subconsciously looked at the empty altar.
Qi Chao smiled bitterly and nodded: "The situation was critical at the time. I just wanted to keep the Demon-Suppressing Stone. There was no other way."
"Ah..."
Qi Ang sighed, then turned around and bowed to Wei Fan and the other two and said: "Friend Wei Fan, we have to escort the Demon-Suppressing Stone back to the tribe immediately. Goodbye first. After dawn, you should leave here as soon as possible and don't stay too long."
While talking, without giving Wei Fan a chance to ask, the three of them took Liya's eldest brother Qi Chao and the woman away, and disappeared into the night sky after a few breaths.
Wei Fan actually wanted to ask something, but he knew that even if he asked, Qi Ang and the others would not tell him.
He turned his head and looked at Feng Hua: "Do you know what the so-called taboos in Cangwu Mountain are in essence?"
Feng Hua's expression changed slightly: "Those are some incredible existences, and I can't say anything specific!"
She pointed to Wei Fan's empty altar with her eyes.
Wei Fan also looked at the place with fear, and then stopped talking. Qi Ang told them to leave here after dawn, obviously hinting that there was something wrong here.
Just knowing that there was something wrong here, he had more and more doubts in his heart. What was the figure that Qi Chao had just created? What was the problem here that would cause it to be abandoned? Is this place related to the White Bone Tribe?
There were so many questions but no answers, and this kind of discomfort was not to mention.
The three of them meditated all night, and nothing bad happened. After dawn, the three of them rode away on white horses.
…
In fact, Zhihua's identity is not simple. Her full name is Yang Zhihua, and she is the princess of Daxu Kingdom in Beidingzhou.
Daxu has been established for a long time. It was once a martial saint dynasty. However, after the martial saint of the previous royal family died in the battle with demons, the Daxu royal family has never had a new martial saint born, so it fell from the ranks of the saints.
Of course, a dynasty once had a martial saint sitting in charge, so it was not that they could not even get a secret weapon that could cross the barrier of Daobeng, but she was a woman, and her talent was not the most amazing in the royal family. Even if she got it, it would not be her turn, but the one in the royal family who was most likely to break through the martial saint realm.
Daxu was not big, and its population and land area were about the same as Longguo, and the purpose of Wei Fan's trip - Leishan was near a city called Yinchuan in Daxu.
Wei Fan and his three companions went all the way to Yinchuan City and found that there were already many people in the martial arts world, but these people did not enter Yinchuan City, but went directly to Leishan.
The three entered Yinchuan City, handed the white horse to a horse shop for care, and then rushed to Leishan.
"Have you ever come to comprehend this Leishan Tiangong?" Wei Fan looked at Fenghua and Zhihua.
There were many people along the way, but he found that most of them were young people under the age of 20, and there were almost no older people. These people, like him, had never comprehended Leishan Tiangong.
"I came here to comprehend for a month before, but I left without any clues." Zhihua said.
Fenghua smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I didn't believe in evil at first, so I comprehended here for three months, and finally I faced the reality and left."
Zhihua smiled and said: "In fact, we are relatively good. At the foot of Leishan Mountain, there are several martial kings who have been comprehending for hundreds of years and have never given up."
Comprehending for hundreds of years... Wei Fan can only say that this persistence is admirable. Knowing that it is impossible to do it but still doing it is either stupid or foolish.
These people are probably the former, thinking that as long as they comprehend the Leishan Tiangong, they can soar into the sky. How can it be so simple?
The three of them walked all the way and soon arrived at the foot of Leishan Mountain. After thousands of years of development, people kept coming here to understand. Although it has not developed into a city, it has also formed a commercial town with all kinds of food and accommodation. There are also shops selling weapons, elixirs, etc.
In the other direction of the town, in a huge square, a ring was set up with several high platforms.
Since the development of Leishan Martial Arts, it has become one of the major martial arts events in Beiding Continent, so naturally someone will host it.
According to Fenghua and Zhihua, the first part of the martial arts discussion is to discuss the Thunder Mountain Heavenly Kung Fu. Those who have meditated here for hundreds of years will take the stage and teach their meditative experience to the young people here. Then there will be a martial arts competition. .
The martial arts competition is usually in the form of a sparring session. After the young people come on stage, they report their age and cultivation. If they are skilled, they can come on stage. There is usually no actual combat, but of course there are sometimes exceptions.
"So this is Thunder Mountain!"
When Wei Fan walked to this square, he finally understood why it was called Thunder Mountain. A dark magnetic mountain stood on the ground, constantly emitting a terrifying magnetic field that attracted all iron tools.
"Where to go to enlightenment?"
Wei Fan asked.
Zhihua said: "I can't understand it now. The Thunder Mountain Heavenly Skill will only appear during thunderstorms. However, if there are no thunderstorms in the past few days, senior masters will work together to create thunderstorms.
At that time, you can truly understand the Thunder Mountain Heavenly Skill!
Come on, let’s take you somewhere first! "
Zhihua and Fenghua walked forward, and Wei Fan quickly followed them to a cliff.
Leishan Mountain is majestic and majestic. It does not look like a mountain, but a huge boulder embedded in the ground. It is completely a whole. There is no vegetation on it. The closer you get, the stronger the magnetic field becomes. Wei Fan's hair All stood up.
"Look..."
He looked in the direction of Zhihua's finger and saw humanoid patterns with strange movements carved on the dark cliff.
Wei Fan was confused: "Didn't you say that you can't comprehend it? Why are there patterns here?"
Zhihua said: "I just let you look at these things first. It is not very useful to understand these patterns now. When there is a thunderstorm, these things will come alive, and then you can truly understand them."
Wei Fan nodded.
There were many people here who came to Leishan for the first time like him, and many of them made similar movements while looking at the patterns on the cliff.
"Don't imitate them, these moves are useless!" Zhihua said in a message.
The images on the cliff are very similar to those movements used to exercise the body in horizontal martial arts, but apart from the movements, there are no mental formulas.
"Well! Let me see these moves first!"
Wei Fan gathered his thoughts, concentrated all his energy, and then began to observe the patterns on the cliff wall and deduce them in his mind.
This deduction is indeed as Zhihua said. These movements do not seem to have much effect. After mental deduction, these things are also in weird postures, while others are unremarkable and cannot even increase any power.
I don't know how much time passed, but Wei Fan demonstrated all ninety-nine and eighty-one patterns in his mind, but still got nothing.
"The order is wrong, or there are other reasons, such as I already have some cultivation, or this is really just an ordinary pattern..."
He remembered that in the novels of his previous life, some unparalleled magical skills required practitioners to not have any cultivation skills.
Along the way, he had no masters and rarely communicated with others about martial arts. I really don’t know if there is such a saying in the five major regions.
"That's right, the panel!"
He suddenly remembered the panel and hurriedly raised his head to see if the technique was real. The panel was more authoritative than anyone else.
[Nine-Nine True Skills·Remnant (Not yet started)]
Wei Fan's eyes flashed, and something appeared on the panel.
Ninety-nine true skills!
Leishan Tiangong is just a name given by later generations after the skill was discovered. The real name of the martial arts on Leishan Mountain is Jiujiu Zhengong.
"The panel is really incredible!"
Xuanyuan Feng, who is known as the number one genius in two thousand years, studied for several months and finally left disappointed. However, he only read it once and the panel recorded the technique truthfully.
Although he is still confused about the Nine-Nine True Kung Fu in his mind, as long as it is recorded on the panel, the most it will cost is more kung fu.
"This may be an ancient martial art. Over the years, masters from the five major regions have come to learn it, but they didn't recognize it as the Nine-Nine True Kung Fu. It's probably because no one knows the name of this technique anymore."
Wei Fan thought in his mind that the ancient martial arts should be correct, but the current panel records are incomplete, which means that these patterns carved on the cliff are only part of the Jiujiu True Kung Fu.
"Is the other part the part that appears during thunderstorms?"
