Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 282 Everyone Has a Unique Skill
Chu Tianshu stared intently for a moment, his eyes shining brightly, and suddenly pushed out with a palm.

The eggshell-shaped shield vibrated and a palm print was projected out, striking the debris at the bottom of the lake.

More than a dozen jade limbs, rolling around in the murky water, revealed a jade figure buried beneath them.

The jade-like figure had almost no wounds on her body, and her right hand was already gripping an iron sword. However, there was a clear fracture mark at the knee of her right leg.

At this moment, the irregular cracks are gradually being repaired.

The jade material at the cross-section seemed to be alive, slowly wriggling and connecting.

Sensing that it had been exposed, the jade figure's eyes immediately lit up. With a push of its left foot, it moved silently underwater, as fast as an arrow released from a bow.

Chu Tianshu took a deep breath, his body suddenly sinking as if using a Thousand-Pound Drop technique.

The Thousand-Pound Drop technique is a fundamental skill of the Southern Shaolin School. When he uses this technique now, the force of the drop is far more than a thousand pounds.

The eggshell-shaped protective aura, almost transforming into a teardrop shape, rapidly pressed down on the woman with the broken leg.

The woman with the broken leg held a sword in both hands and thrust it upwards.

choke! ! !
The iron sword struck the protective aura, sending sparks flying. Unable to withstand the weight, the sword tilted to the side.

Chu Tianshu's shoe sole, through the protective shield, struck the jade-like woman's head.

There was already a complete sample above, and these jade figures seemed to have a self-healing effect, so Chu Tianshu was no longer so careful when handling them.

This downward strike utilized ninety percent of its power, resulting in not only incredible speed but also an inner strength stronger than metal.

The jade-like woman's right leg, which was not yet fully repaired, was severed on the spot by this attack. The broken jade leg was launched to the side by the water waves.

His entire body sank into the mud at the bottom of the water, disappearing completely.

Chu Tianshu flipped over, head down and feet up, and plunged his palm into the mud, pulling the jade-like woman out.

In the blink of an eye, he struck three more times with his palms, heavily hitting the woman's elbows and left knee.

Wow! ! !
The underwater current surged and rushed up to the lake surface, turning into white spray.

Chu Tianshu grabbed the jade-like woman's shoulder, broke through the water, and stepped ashore.

Tangnu leaned closer and exclaimed in surprise, "There really are more underwater!"

"The number of remains is several dozen."

Chu Tianshu threw the second jade figure on the ground and said, "I suspect that when Senior Lin left this place, there were no complete jade figures left in the lake, only broken limbs."

"Both of these jade figures have been self-repaired within the last half month, which is why they have regained their complete appearance."

He clicked his tongue in amazement, "I just saw with my own eyes that the jade material at the broken end of the jade figure's right leg actually moved on its own!"

Mo Xiaoyu was examining the first jade figure when she heard this, so she quickly went to the second jade figure to examine the wound.

"This texture..."

She took a deep breath. "That's right, this is genuine Kunlun jade."

Tang Nu asked in confusion, "Kunlun jade?"

The character 昆 itself means many people standing side by side under the scorching sun, working together.

Lun means order or sequence.

The true "Kunlun Jade" refers to a precious thing that can operate in an orderly manner, replacing the wisdom and physical strength of the masses.

"In modern terms, Kunlun jade is a kind of jade instrument containing intelligent programs."

Mo Xiaoyu gently touched the jade-like woman's wound with her hand and explained.

"Ancient inscriptions on bronze tripods and oracle bones record that the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West was the largest producer of Kunlun jade. The people of the Queen Mother of the West would weave totem patterns into the jade to refine this unique material." "At that time, many countries would exchange their own treasures for this material from the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West."

Mo Xiaoyu stroked the cheek of the second beauty, her eyes gleaming with a slightly fanatical light, and muttered something under her breath.

"Legend has it that the territory of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom once encompassed the area from the Kunlun Mountains to the Tianshan Mountains. Now it seems that this is mostly true. With these jade figures, the study of the totem patterns of our ancestors may take a big step forward."

Chu Tianshu had also seen research on totem patterns while browsing through miscellaneous notes on the Special Police Bureau's website.

It is said that in ancient times, the spirit world occasionally possessed certain characteristics of ghosts and gods, which had little to do with humans.

Although it is not particularly close to humans, it does not, like most ghosts and gods, yearn to devour humans and invade reality.

When humans first explored methods of cultivation, many drew upon the power of these innate deities to develop what are known as totem patterns.

However, after cultivating totem patterns to a certain stage, it is easy to develop a sense of awe and reverence for the corresponding deity.

As times changed, some people developed later techniques such as visualization and incantation, qi and blood transformation methods, and qi and meridian diagrams based on this foundation.

In terms of power, most systems may not be able to surpass totem patterns; they are simply more independent and autonomous.

Therefore, even during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when human systems were already quite sophisticated, there were still quite a few ancestors who practiced totem patterns.

Modern practitioners have discovered many artifacts related to totem patterns when excavating ancient relics.

However, the inheritance of totem patterns is more abstract than other inheritances. It is very difficult to unravel its mysteries, absorb those techniques into existing technologies, or reuse precious materials.

Therefore, this subject is also very unpopular.

Chu Tianshu said, "Miss Mo actually has knowledge of totem patterns?"

"In the entire Northwest, Sister Mo's knowledge in this area should be able to rival the Minister's for first or second place."

Tang Nu cracked his neck, making a snapping sound, and said, "There's nothing we can do about it; the proportion of artifacts related to totem patterns here is higher than in other places."

"Like me, I once accidentally swallowed an eagle bone whistle, which was a treasure related to totem patterns. After that, my constitution changed, and I still don't fully understand my body to this day."

Mo Xiaoyu glanced at Tang Nu.

This kid didn't swallow it by accident.

A group of tomb raiders went to their village. The villagers noticed something was wrong in the middle of the night and went to the ancestral graves to beat up the raiders, but they were beaten to death and injured more than a dozen people.

When Tangnu saw that his father's eyes had been blinded, he became ferocious and pounced on a tomb raider, biting him to pieces the bone whistle hanging around the tomb raider's neck.

Otherwise, that whistle wouldn't be so easily digested.

"The information contained in totem patterns is often very complex. The goal is to express as much meaning as possible in a single pattern, equivalent to a whole sentence or even an article."

"Therefore, a single stroke goes through many twists and turns from beginning to end, and finally closes up again, making it difficult to tell where the beginning is and where the end is."

Mo Xiaoyu looked intently at the jade figure. "This is not a script that can be passed down normally. If enough people want to learn it, it can only be done by divine instruction. But those born gods don't have much patience for humans."

"The later elimination of totem patterns is mostly related to this."

"But I was chosen as a sacrifice when I was young. An evil spirit descended through my eyes. Later, the minister killed that monster in my eyes. I have an advantage in learning this aspect."

Chu Tianshu looked at the three people in front of him, stroked his chin, and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

Well, one is a child who has regained his youth, one is a person who swallows ancient relics whole, and one is the chief sacrifice for burying demons in his eyes.

They all have unique skills.

Is this what the Northwest is like? It truly is a place that produces many talented people.

But... well, I'm not exactly normal either.
