"Well, that's true. I have forgotten about this. In that case, let me think about it again. If it doesn't work, I won't rush into the mountain today. I will take the time to explore the outside of the foot of the mountain later. Make preparations for tomorrow in the next situation. It shouldn’t take an hour. After we resolve the matter of the seventh child with Master in the evening, we can start taking action tomorrow." Tian Jihong thought about it carefully and said, "Yes. Yes, you saw the jade bracelet that my mother left just now, right? I didn’t expect Master Li to have such a high opinion of my father and mother’s strength. Is it possible that they are really hidden masters in the martial arts world? Why do they usually Never heard them say that?”
Tianji Fei also fell into deep thought: "I think...my parents probably want to protect us. Knowing these things too early will not be good for us. But now that we know the reputation of our parents, we will go out to inquire about their whereabouts from now on." It might be a lot easier. Oh, by the way! Brother Hong, aren't you curious about the things my mother left behind?"
"Yeah, you almost forgot if you didn't mention it. That's exactly what I meant!" Tian Jihong slapped his forehead and suddenly became excited. "My mother was in a hurry when she left and didn't take much luggage with her. I think besides the jade bracelet in the drawer, my mother must have forgotten many other things that she didn't have time to take away at home. Let's go look for them quickly. !”
After hitting it off, the two brothers first came to the wardrobe where the jade bracelets had been stored; this time they didn't have so many scruples, and directly took out everything in the cabinet and looked at it carefully one by one. But what disappointed them was that after spending nearly a quarter of an hour, they didn't seem to find anything useful. It seems that unless there are seals to cover up the fluctuations of these treasures like the soul-gathering stones and sachets given by his father, it is indeed unlikely that they will be missed under the soul consciousness of a powerful monk like Li Ming.
However, the two of them were not discouraged. When there was no progress in the closet, they walked towards the cellar together. The cellar also contained some personal belongings brought by their mother. In the days after their mother left, the brothers did not think about sorting out the things in them. However, when the two discovered that there were several items among them, After the box was locked, there was no thought of forcing it open. It's just that tonight is different from the past. There has been no news about my mother for so long. In addition, they just discovered a treasure at home that is enough to attract the covetousness of many monks. Naturally, the two brothers will not wait any longer.
After Tianjihong broke the rusty copper lock on the box without much effort, the two brothers couldn't wait to count the items inside. This time they were not disappointed. Shortly after opening the first box, Tianji Fei, who had quick eyes and quick hands, fumbled for a sealed medicine bottle from the corner of the box. Under the gaze of the two of them, Tian Jihong carefully opened the mouth of the bottle and poured the contents into the palm of his hand; what was inside was not the ointment that Li Ming gave him today, but three round dark gray pills about the size of a thumb. . These three pills looked inconspicuous, and they did not emit a pungent smell like Li Ming's ointment, so the two of them could not judge what effect these pills had.
But at the same time, they also understood that this elixir was by no means an ordinary prescription used to treat injuries and illnesses: from the rather mysterious lines on its appearance to the subtle fluctuations it emits when it is placed in the palm of the hand, plus the fact that their mother sealed it away The fact that it is in a box in the cellar instead of being placed in a wall cabinet in the house like other medicine bottles all indicates that this pill is definitely not used for mortal diseases, but is closely related to spiritual practice. The two planned to ask their master carefully when Li Ming came back later.
This discovery made the brothers even more excited, and they immediately devoted themselves to endless searching with great enthusiasm. The two of them found no valuable items in the next two boxes, but Tianjihong did find a few decent weapons from them. At this time, he recalled that these things were used for his practice when his father taught him the body-refining method. Judging from the material, they can only be regarded as good fine iron in the world. It is indeed a bit shabby for monks to fight. , but it is also a handy thing to use for martial arts training on weekdays. After Tianjihong carefully inspected the wear and tear of several weapons, he put them aside.
Then when they struggled to pry open the fourth box, the two brothers discovered that in addition to most of the box of sundries, there were about six or seven books wrapped in parchment. Tianjihong didn't take this discovery too seriously, but Tianjifei, who had been fond of reading since childhood, was naturally overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and put the ancient books that seemed to be a few years old into his arms, as if he had found something. It's like a treasure. Tian Jihong glanced at the title of the cover with his peripheral vision - "A Complete Record of Major Events in the Martial World". It looked like a boring book about the history of Dou Wu Continent. Muttering in a low voice as to why his younger brother, who was less than ten years old, would be interested in such boring things, Tianjihong turned his head and ignored Tianji Fei, who was in high spirits, and let him sort out a few ancient books.
But not long after, Tianjihong heard his younger brother's slightly surprised voice: "Hey, this is...? Brother Hong, you'd better come and take a look!" He turned his head to look at Tianjifei's direction with some doubts. , under the dim light, there were a few large characters written crookedly on the outside of the cover of the book he was pointing at - "Asura Heart Technique".
"This...god, this seems to be a secret book of Kung Fu!" Although Tian Jihong has never been exposed to the methods of Kung Fu practice, when he saw the description on the first page of the book, he suddenly felt a huge excitement in his heart. wave. I saw a line of small letters above it that read:
"[Shura Heart Technique] - a low-level earth-level skill with a murderous aura. After reaching the level of cultivation, it can transform into a murderous aura that is both offensive and defensive. With full force, it can steal the opponent's head invisibly from a distance of three feet; It can also penetrate the body with murderous energy and release it to block the enemy's attack. It is suitable for use with masculine martial arts. This technique is widely spread among the children of many ancient families in Seibu Continent. Mainly because of this, the technique is extremely tolerant and can almost perfectly fit into the martial arts world. Most of the knives, spears, hammers, sticks and other heavy-weapon martial arts are not affected by the elemental attributes of martial arts, so they are very popular among family members and are used as a transitional method before practicing their family's special skills."
"Another note: Cultivation conditions - you need to be at the peak level of bone forging before you can try to practice; meridian requirements - spiritual veins and divine seas need to be broken through to the fourth level or above, ruin ruins holy realm to be broken through to the second level or above; soul power requirements - have been condensed Fighting spirits with basic military skills or above"
"Oh my god, this is actually a local level skill!" Tianji Fei couldn't help but exclaimed. Although he did not have as many contacts with things in the spiritual world as his brother, he had been familiar with all kinds of books since he was a child. It's not like he still can't discern the value of the secret book in his hand. In the eyes of famous masters in the martial arts world, earth-level skills are not particularly rare. As described in the secret book, even in ancient martial arts families, such level skills can only be used at most. Come and use it as a transition for his disciples, so that they can successfully break through to a higher realm and learn the high-level skills passed down by the family.
However, when such a book of exercises falls into the hands of two ordinary children who don't even know how to practice, it is no less than a bolt from the blue for the two of them, and it is no different from a sudden windfall. Tianjihong once saw the selling price of the Earth Level Cultivation Technique in the market of Dongsheng Town. The figures were calculated in gold coins. You must know that the cost for the two of them to live in Donglin Village for a year was only Just a few silver coins. The value of this earth-level technique was astronomical to the two brothers, who had become accustomed to poverty in the past two years. It was enough for them to find a nice house in the town to live in.
Although this Shura Mind Technique is only at the lower level of the earth level, its strong tolerance for various martial arts naturally increases its own value. In the martial arts world, in the process of performing moves, most martial arts often need to be paired with exclusive exercises to cultivate the spiritual power of specific elemental attributes or yin and yang attributes, and then use the martial arts to activate them in actual combat, so that the moves can be achieved. the strongest effect. If the spiritual power cultivated in the martial arts does not match the martial arts, for example, as mentioned before, using the ice attribute spiritual power stimulated by the cold jade bracelet to activate the fire attribute martial arts, the final effect will only be half the result with half the effort.
The skill in hand is a perfect solution to this problem. Although the masculine martial arts that need to be paired with it also have restrictions, you must know that the distinction between yin and yang in martial arts in the martial arts world is far less detailed than the division of elemental attributes. Yes, in the Seibu Continent, except for the ethereal spear technique of the Zurijiang shogunate in the north, which pays more attention to body techniques, most of the other heavy weapon skills such as sword techniques and spear techniques are masculine martial arts. These martial arts can be compared with this Shura mind technique. Very well matched.
Of course, as mentioned in the book, this secret book is definitely not something Tianjihong can use now. Just seeing the requirements of the [Peak Bone Forging] realm is enough to deter Tianjihong. The following paragraph in the introduction of the technique reminded him of the knowledge that his father had taught him about the five major meridians in the human body. In fact, this was also the first time that he knew that, in addition to the realm requirements, the cultivation of this earth-level technique also required The breakthrough of the meridians in this person's body also has high requirements. No wonder his father would instruct him in advance to familiarize himself with the various locations of the meridians in the body, and forcefully attack the shackles of the meridians through physical training, so that he would have started before he had spiritual power. The practice of meridians.
"I didn't expect that my parents would accidentally leave behind such a treasure. Now they will really make a fortune." Tian Jihong couldn't help but sigh. Although he definitely had no intention of selling this technique, at least This secret book can be regarded as one's own wealth, and can be regarded as an invisible asset. "It seems that Master Li's prediction was good. My parents must have had a lot of background when they were young. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for such earth-level skills to be thrown casually in this glove box."
