My study has spoiled

Chapter 178 [Ancient Text]

"Mortal-level middle-level? That's an ancient saying."

Hearing Lu Li's question, Jiang Xiaogu was a little surprised.

But he still replied: "Most of our current exercises are based on the exercises handed down by the ancients, and have been improved to be suitable for human cultivation today.

"Our current skill levels are divided into five levels: ordinary level, extraordinary level, true spirit level, sky-reaching level, and extreme level.

"The mortal-level mid-level in the ancient text corresponds to our current 'transcendent-level' exercises."

"Extraordinary"

After listening to Jiang Xiaogu's explanation, Lu Li nodded blankly: "I see."

These nouns are not written in history books.

Thinking about it, it should be the content that will only be taught when you go to university.

After all, Minister Ren Xingfeng also said that it is best for students not to touch exercises until they reach 1000 points.

This is a protection for students.

"Extraordinary level, after all, it's not the bottom."

Lu Li murmured in his heart, then thought of Luo Ming, and asked again: "Then Luo Ming's kung fu, what level does his kung fu belong to?"

"Is it the skill to pass through the deep valley?"

Jiang Xiaogu thought for a while, and said: "Tongyou Valley is a sect with a long history. They have three sets of exercises, which are taught to outer disciples, inner disciples, and direct disciples. Luo Ming should practice the set of direct disciples. It is a high-level exercise of the 'True Spirit Level'."

"What external sect, internal sect, personal transmission, it sounds like Xiuxian novels."

Lu Li couldn't help complaining.

Jiang Xiaogu said with a smile: "Art comes from life. How do you think the fancy theories of cultivating immortals in Xiuxian novels evolved? No matter how powerful the imagination of the ancients is, they can't come up with it out of thin air."

"That's true."

Lu Li also felt that it made sense.

Then he asked Jiang Xiaogu curiously: "Then what about your Fengxiao Pavilion's skills? What level is it?"

When Jiang Xiaogu heard the words, he smiled mysteriously: "Guess."

"You guess I don't guess."

"Guess, I guess, can you guess?"

"What about mating dolls with me?"

Lu Li is helpless, every time he comes to a topic that he is really interested in, Jiang Xiaogu likes to deliberately tease his appetite, and then see himself embarrassed.

Seeing Lu Li's helpless look, Jiang Xiaogu laughed weirdly, and said after a while, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The Fengxiao Pavilion founded by my master doesn't have as long a history as theirs. There are only three people in Fengxiao Pavilion, my master, my senior sister, and me. We practice only one kind of kung fu. However, it is stronger than their kung fu of connecting deep valleys."

It is even stronger than the extraordinary level high-level.

Lu Li's eyes lit up: "Tongtian level?"

Tongtian level, it sounds awesome.

Jiang Xiaogu practiced the heavenly-level kung fu, Luo Ming practiced the true spirit-level kung fu, and Lu Li instantly felt that the "Erosion Yin Jue" he had scavenged from Langtou Yaoyi was not good at all!
Jiang Xiaogu also nodded at this time and said: "Well, that's all I can reveal. Of course. If you want to know more"

"Just join your Fengxiao Pavilion?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaogu pretending to be mysterious and elongating the ending, Lu Li guessed.

"Pfft."

Jiang Xiaogu was amused by Lu Li, and said, "Yes! But, you may have to undergo a sex reassignment operation first!"

"Stop it, Ugly, thank you."

Lu Li's face was immediately covered with black lines.

The implication is that their Fengxiaoge skills are only passed on to women, not to men.

"You have a book of extraordinary exercises, right?"

At this time, Jiang Xiaogu asked Lu Li again.

She smiled and looked at Lu Li with a look of seeing through everything.

Lu Li didn't hide anything, nodded, reached into his clothes, and took out a small parchment book from another dimension.

When Jiang Xiaogu saw this small sheepskin book, he was a little surprised: "Is it really an ancient text?"

When Lu Li talked about "Mortal Intermediate", Jiang Xiaogu guessed that what Lu Li got was an ancient text.

After all, in modern times, no one would use ancient Chinese to describe the level of exercises.

When the ancients wrote exercises, they used special techniques to hide the words in this small sheepskin book. Even if ordinary people read it, they would not be able to understand what was written in it.

Only when spiritual power penetrates into it, can the hidden content inside be seen.

Of course, the hidden content is also ancient, and very obscure.

It's not something people with a spiritual power index below 1000 can understand.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xiaogu took the little sheepskin book and looked at it bluntly, and then said: "This should be an ancient text from the Yue Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were still a few warlocks and barbarians in the world. This method of writing is also the method of Man Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Jiang Xiaogu just glanced at the text in it, and already made a rough guess.

"You know a lot."

Lu Li Road.

When Lu Li was reading this book, he only knew that it was an ancient Chinese, and he didn't understand it halfway. When encountering rare words, he could only guess the general meaning based on the radicals.

But Jiang Xiaogu can recognize which dynasty and which country it is at a glance.

Really great.

Jiang Xiaogu was praised, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and he smiled sweetly: "Of course, this is a compulsory course for our Fengxiao Pavilion! Master said that there are many ancient secrets buried in this world, and these secrets will even overturn what we know well. History.

"But no matter how history is overthrown and rewritten, these ancient texts are the only way for us to get a glimpse of that ancient aura era.

"Our current writing has undergone evolution and has been simplified under the influence of the Western industrial age. It can be said that it is quite different from the ancient Chinese.

"So, only the ancient characters are the most suitable for the characters of the ancient aura era. This is why Master told me to learn the ancient characters.

"Like this."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaogu pointed to the book that Lu Li was holding in his hand, which was taken from the high tower bookshelf, with the words Venerable Black Dragon written on it.

She said: "If we don't learn ancient characters, we will hardly be able to understand the characters of this ancient aura era. In the ruins, if we understand one more character than others, we will have a better chance than others!"

Jiang Xiuwei's tone was very calm, and he spoke eloquently.

But to Lu Li's ears, there was a strange shock.

"Ancient Secrets"

"So, you can understand the text on it?"

Lu Li seemed to have thought of something, so he quickly opened the book "The Venerable Black Dragon" and asked Jiang Xiaogu.

Jiang Xiaogu looked at the words on this book, frowned slightly, and said: "I have seen some of the words on it, and it looks a bit like the words on oracle bone inscriptions, which are the words from the Xia and Shang Dynasties.

"However, it is only a bit similar. The characters of the ancient aura age are not the same all over the world. The world of the ancient aura age is much bigger than we imagined. The language and characters, and even the usage of each word, are very different. Not the same. I can only understand a little bit."

"Is it the Xia and Shang period?"

The Xia and Shang Dynasties were three or four thousand years from now, which is extremely long, and Lu Li only knew a little bit about it in "Fengshen Yanyi".

However, "Fengshen Yanyi" is just a mythical novel of the Ming Dynasty. The plot took place during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which is more than 2000 years away from the Ming Dynasty.In the novel, most of the historical figures and folklore have been magically modified, and a large number of original characters have been added.

Not for reference.

Thinking about it, Lu Li couldn't help asking Jiang Xiaogu: "Then look, what's written on it."

"Let me see."

Jiang Xiaogu was also curious about what was specifically recorded on it.

Originally, she planned to take it out and show it to her master, but now that Lu Li is very interested, she and Lu Li browsed and studied it together.

The two worked together for hours.

Combining the contents of the murals, I finally got a general outline of the story told in this ancient document.

Undoubtedly, this is a narrative related to "The Black Dragon Venerable", but it is not the biography that records the life of the Black Dragon Venerable as Lu Li thought.

Most of the content recorded above can correspond to the content on the murals.

But the story is much more complicated than what Lu Li thought.

Originally, Lu Li thought that it was the Venerable Black Dragon who saved the people, and then the people spontaneously followed him and built a huge city in the underwater city.

However, the records in the book are.

Although Venerable Black Dragon did save many people, he didn't give these people a chance to choose, but directly brought the saved people back to the underwater city.

That is, the rotten city that Lu Li and Jiang Xiaogu are now standing under.

More and more people were captured, and when these people found that they could not leave, they were forced to build their new homes in the city.

The underwater city at that time was not as dark and dilapidated as it is now.

Instead, it is sunny and full of normal flora and fauna.

People from all corners of the country gathered here, and it took a long time to unify the language and characters through difficult integration.

However, a lot of content in this book is just a subjective description of the author, without specifying the origin and function.

Including the Venerable Black Dragon recorded in this book, Lu Li originally thought that Venerable Black Dragon was the protagonist of this book, but in fact, Venerable Black Dragon did not appear several times in the book.

From the perspective of the book holder, Venerable Black Dragon is like a god, majestic and inviolable.

What Venerable Black Dragon wants is people's belief, worship, loyalty, and dedication.

The book also didn't say why Venerable Black Dragon brought so many people to the underwater city.

But Lu Li noticed that it was said in the book that people would bring the bodies of the dead into the crystal palace in the center of the city.

This seems to be the way of funerals for people in this underwater city.

The funeral method recorded in the article is very detailed, which road to pass, which street to cross, who will see you off, and what clothes to wear.

But there is no record of what it was like to enter the Crystal Palace.

It seems that entering the Crystal Palace is the final step of the entire funeral.

But Lu Li felt that there must be other steps behind, but the author didn't write it, or in other words, even the author himself didn't know what would happen after entering the Crystal Palace.

Weird.

With so many corpses of the dead, there is a large area of ​​wasteland not to be buried, but they are piled up in the most prosperous Crystal Palace.

No matter how you think about it, it's weird, okay?
However, although the book does not say the final whereabouts of the corpse.

But it is recorded in the book that in the Crystal Palace, there is a kind of tree, a kind of tree that can bloom blood-colored flowers!
It is called the Blood God Tree in the book!

When the young people in the underwater city become adults, they will collectively enter the crystal palace and sit under the blood god tree for half a day. This is also the only chance for ordinary people in the underwater city to enter the crystal palace once in their life.

And the second time is death, the time of funeral.

The book said that after sitting under the Blood God Tree for half a day, young people will become stronger and stronger.Fantastic.

When Jiang Xiaogu saw this, he didn't feel anything special.

But when Lu Li looked at it, his heart couldn't help jumping wildly.

He remembered what the black-haired monster said, as well as the red fruit lying in his different dimension. That day in the cemetery, the scene where the monster became stronger after eating the red fruit.

Could it be that the red fruit was born on that kind of tree?
There are no answers in the book.

There are not many records.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Li had a red fruit on his body, he probably wouldn't have paid much attention to it.

Even so, Lu Li still couldn't calm down for a long time.

There are more and more doubts in my heart.

However, the content at the back of the book did not give the answer Lu Li wanted.

The follow-up content is all about the local people's livelihood, and the black dragon venerable set up eight towers, and then domesticated the black dragon.

Since neither Lu Li nor Jiang Xiaogu could fully translate the above text, they could barely understand one-fifth of the content.

For other content, I don't know what to write at all.

but.

Judging from the only content, Lu Li and Jiang Xiaogu have reached a consensus on one thing, that is, the black dragon venerable is by no means a good person.

There must be something hidden in the crystal palace.

"Also, according to the book, there are at least tens of millions of people in this underwater city. But..."

Jiang Xiaogu frowned slightly, and said, "Why are the bones of these people gone? There are only a few scattered bones in the tower? Those people seem to have evaporated out of thin air."

This question is very scary to think about.

Lu Li told Jiang Xiaogu not to scare himself, and said, "Maybe, they just migrated out."

Although this possibility was also possible, even Lu Li himself felt that it was too unconvincing.

After all, even mass migration.

But it's not all gone, is it?
There should be some dead bodies or something
Jiang Xiaogu closed the book and said, "Perhaps, all the answers can only be revealed in that crystal palace, right?

"As for other incomprehensible content in the book, wait for me to take it out and ask my master! She should be able to understand it. Her research on ancient Chinese can be said to be more professional than her in the country!"
