Hundreds of people were looking for things in one of the mountains of garbage. A large amount of garbage was sorted into different areas.
One of the small mountains of garbage was almost cleared.
"Found it!" A worker wearing a blue protective coverall took out a palm-sized stone statue from one of the black garbage bags, held it high, and shouted excitedly.
The other workers who were searching around were a little envious when they saw this.
"Huangtouer, we found the stone statue you asked us to find. That money..."
The worker who found the stone statue ran to the back office. The man in a suit in the office covered his nose and said, "Okay, okay, just put the things on the ground and I will get them. I promise that your bonus will be directly printed on your salary card. Participate
All workers looking for things will have their bonuses doubled this month.”
The worker put down the stone statue, Huang Liang walked over and picked up the stone statue, and then returned to the office. Sitting on one of the seats in the office was a man holding a teacup.
"I found what you wanted." When Huang Liang saw the man's back, his eyes dodge and he was a little afraid.
Putting the stone statue on the table, Huang Liang took two steps back. This group of people didn't know where they came from. They found him a few days ago and forced himself to find a stone statue for them. Fortunately, he told them which day the garbage was.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find something as big as a palm in such a huge mountain of garbage.
The man sitting on the seat was wearing a peaked cap and a mask on his face. He put down the tea cup in his hand, took out two pieces of toilet paper from the paper box on the table, and carefully wiped the sewage and dirt from the gaps in the stone statues.
As if it was his most precious treasure.
"Huh?" The man suddenly hummed.
He held the stone statue and looked at it over and over.
"No...where's the spirit?" the man muttered to himself.
The man looked at the stone statue in his hand. He was convinced that it was the spirit statue that he and others were worshiping in the temple, but why was the spirit that was finally sacrificed missing?
Could it be that it has been polluted by a filthy place like a garbage dump and lost its spirit?
The man's face was full of doubts, but it was enough to get the things.
Take it back first and ask the elders how to deal with it.
...
garden.
"Forget it, give me the bamboo slips. My dad and I will go back tomorrow. If we don't translate for you, we won't have time." Tuoba Fengming said.
Chen Xing handed the bamboo slips to his cousin. After returning home with his cousin, his cousin asked Chen Xing to take out a pen and paper.
"Cousin, you actually understand such complicated writing." Chen Xing said with admiration as he looked at the ancient Xichao language that looked a bit like oracle bone inscriptions.
Tuoba Fengming raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his lips slightly, and said softly: "It's okay, it's not very difficult."
"Then I won't disturb you, cousin, come on!"
Chen Xing happily sat on the sofa with her cell phone in hand.
Then Tuoba Fengming sat in front of the table and translated the text sentence by sentence with a pen.
Soon Tuoba Fengming frowned, why are there so many rare characters on this bamboo slip?
She used her peripheral vision to secretly glance at Chen Xing, who was watching videos on the sofa with his back to her.
Then he took out his cell phone and sent a message to the tutor who taught him the ancient Xi language, "Sister Liu, there are a few rare words that I don't know the meaning of. Please help me read them."
Tuoba Fengming secretly took two photos with his mobile phone, cropped them and sent them to Sister Liu.
Soon, news will come back from there.
Tuoba Fengming was looking for helpers and translating at the same time, making rapid progress.
Two hours later, the entire bamboo slips with a total of more than 1,000 words were translated.
Tuoba Fengming read it once and said, "It's actually an external skill."
Tuoba Fengming was a little surprised. In fact, in the current martial arts environment, in terms of the exquisiteness of internal strength, the internal strength of later generations is not necessarily worse than the internal strength of ancient martial arts during the prosperous period.
But external strength is different.
Most of today's external martial arts are not as good as those in ancient times. In ancient times, external martial arts were extremely prosperous and were almost as good as internal martial arts. Both internal and external martial arts flourished and advanced hand in hand. However, with the changes in the world, the power of martial arts was greatly reduced.
Compared with external skills that can harm the body if practiced to the extreme, internal skills that can maintain health are more attractive to martial artists.
It's just that ancient external skills may not be possible to practice now. First of all, many external skills require precious medicinal herbs to help them practice.
With the development of modern science and technology, the natural environment has been destroyed and many plants have become extinct.
The medicinal materials required for some martial arts are missing, and some key thresholds of this martial arts cannot be broken, or some external skills are difficult to practice and require medicinal baths to make rapid progress.
"It's translated, it's an external skill called 'Nine Extremes Viper Body'."
Tuoba Fengming handed Chen Xing the piece of paper filled with densely packed small characters.
"Although many people say that external skills can be achieved faster, there are prerequisites. Hard external skills generally need to be paired with medicinal baths." Tuoba Fengming said.
"This external skill mentions a lot of herbal medicines. I took a look and found that several of them are no longer common. There are two others whose names I haven't heard of. Of course, it is possible that they have changed their names now." Tuoba Fengming
He said, "I will check the current names of the herbs when I get back. If there are any, I will send them to you directly."
Chen Xing took the white paper. There are nine levels of the Nine-pole Viper Body. The names are also very simple, one-pole Viper Body, two-pole Viper Body, three-pole Viper Body...
The first half is an introduction to the exercises and tips, and the second half is about the materials needed for medicinal baths.
Apart from the fact that this is a martial arts sect called Jiuji Sect, there is no other unnecessary introduction on the bamboo slips.
Each three levels requires different medicinal materials. The first three levels require golden snake grass, realgar root, green willow leaves, snake saliva flower, black snake blood...
Most of them are herbal medicines that have never been heard of. Chen Xing checked and found that the medicinal materials needed for the first three extremes are all there. Some of them have different names in ancient and modern times, but at least they are all there. This is enough.
Black-threaded snake blood?
When Chen Xing saw the material at the back, he thought he had read it wrong. He read it several times and said, "Sister, is this the blood of a black-threaded snake? And each medicinal bath requires ten liters of snake blood?"
"Yeah." Tuoba Fengming raised the corners of his mouth.
The black-lined snake is a venomous snake. How much blood can a snake have?
Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and checked. There was a breeding farm selling black-threaded snakes at a price of one thousand five hundred stars per kilogram.
Even if one kilogram of it can produce 20% of the blood, it would still require nearly fifty kilograms, which is seventy-five thousand star dollars, not counting other herbs.
This external skill is actually so expensive.
No wonder there are not a few martial artists practicing external martial arts. They are poor in culture but rich in martial arts. It is really not a joke.
Chen Xing's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of the scene where his uncle resisted a sniper bullet, "Cousin, has uncle ever practiced external martial arts?"
"I have practiced it, but it is not a martial art passed down to our Tuoba family. It is a martial art that my father learned by chance."
"Have you practiced too?" Chen Xing was curious.
"I don't practice. Just look at my dad's body shape." Tuoba Fengming shook his head.
She didn't want to be like her dad, and at first she thought that only men could become like that if they practiced.
Later, his father gave this martial arts to one of his women to practice, and then she became King Kong Barbie.
Chen Xing said it didn't matter. As a man, it's good to be stronger.
He then called the nearest snake farm in the city and after inquiring, he learned that there happened to be a black-threaded snake.
I went to a nearby chain Chinese medicine store and found that except for the golden snake grass which was not in stock and needed to be mobilized from other places, all other medicinal herbs were in stock.
Everything was ready and all he needed was the east wind. Chen Xing touched the bank card in his arms. The password was the last six digits of the bank card number. He just didn't know how much money was in the card and whether he could support himself in practicing this external skill.
