Chapter 150, Compromise
Xuan Lao looked very calm, like an ordinary little old man, half leaning on a big tree on the side of the street.
But Tang Bai knew that he was definitely not ordinary, because with his speed, an ordinary old man would not be able to run ahead of him, and the only explanation was that he was not poisoned.
Tang Bai sighed helplessly, he had already used what he thought was the best method, but after all, he couldn't escape from Xuan Lao's palm.
Tang Bai stood on the street and didn't say a word for a long time.
Xuan Lao looked at him with some mockery and didn't speak.
After a long time, Tang Bai cleaned up his mood and asked calmly, "You are not poisoned?"
Xuan Lao didn't answer and asked, "Are you poisoned?"
Tang Bai nodded, and then said, "Why do you have to send me to death?"
Xuan Lao said: "You are not dead now. ”
Tang Bai said: "If I enter the Yin Spirit Mountain Spirit, I will die." ”
Xuan Lao said: "It's not easy to live, and it's not so easy to die. ”
Tang Bai said: "Do I still have a chance to live?"
Xuan Lao said: "There is still a glimmer of life in the Heavenly Dao, and everyone has a chance to live." ”
Tang Bai said: "My cultivation is too low to see the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao. ”
Xuan Lao said: "The operation of the Heavenly Dao is not something that can be seen clearly by cultivating high. ”
Tang Bai said: "Then I will still die." ”
Xuan Lao said: "At least this time I can forgive you, of course, this is also the last time you escape, because next time I will kill you, in that case, you will really die." ”
Xuan Lao spoke calmly, but Tang Bai believed that he would not lie. There are two kinds of people who don't lie, those who are timid and honest because they dare not lie, and those who are very powerful because they don't need to lie.
Xuan Lao looks like the first kind of person, but he is definitely not timid and honest, this is just a visual 'deception'. For Tang Bai, he belongs to the latter, and he doesn't need to lie,
Tang Bai looked at Xuan Lao and said slowly, "Actually, you can kill me now." ”
Xuan Lao said: "You're not afraid?"
Tang Bai said: "If you are afraid, you will die." ”
Xuan Lao said: "At least there will be a trace of vitality when you enter the Yin Spirit Mountain Range. ”
Tang Bai said: "Waiting for death is more frightening than facing death." ”
Xuan Lao said: "Everyone has fear, but many people have different attitudes towards fear. ”
Tang Bai said: "Will you die if you enter the mountain range?"
Xuan Lao said: "Any monk who enters the Yin Spirit Mountain Range may die, and I will also die, in which, I am not much stronger than you." ”
Tang Bai said: "Then why don't you run away?"
Xuan Lao said: "Because I promised Helian Hero to do something for him." ”
Tang Bai said: "Commitment is more important than life?"
Xuan Lao said: "Commitment is more important than life. ”
Tang Bai was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, I'll go back with you." ”
Xuan Lao walked in front, Tang Bai walked behind, neither of them spoke again, and returned to the inn in silence.
At the moment when Tang Bai entered the door, Xuan Lao said, "What about the toxins in your body?"
Tang Bai said: "Since you will die, it is the same whether you have a true yuan or not." ”
Xuan Lao said: "It is always good to have a glimmer of hope, hope is like a seed, it will sprout and grow." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a powerful True Yuan poured into Tang Bai's body. This True Element was like the water of an endless river, rushing through his meridians, like a raging fire, entering Tang Bai's sea of qi, instantly evaporating the black mist formed by the 'Binding Spirit Pill'.
It was only at this time that Tang Bai knew that this unattractive old man was a Jindan monk, and he finally understood that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery would be futile.
Tang Bai said "Thank you!", but Xuan Lao had already entered his guest room.
Tang Bai accepted his fate, he didn't dare to escape, and he didn't want to escape, his only hope was to pray for his good fortune and save his life in the Yin Spirit Mountain Range.
Luck is only one of the means to save one's life, the most important thing is strength; if you can't do it yourself, you can also borrow external forces. So these days, he has not been practicing, but has been shopping frantically in the market.
The treasures in the fang market are not cheap, but no matter how expensive they are, he has to buy them.
After turning around at random, half of the fire spirit crystals in the purple gold ring were missing, and many pills and talismans were exchanged, as well as an ordinary bamboo flute, a bronze mirror magic weapon for defense, and a crimson medium-grade magic sword.
The attribute of this magic sword is fire, which can not only integrate the true element into the swordsmanship, but also engrave the spirit formation talisman on it, and there is a groove on its hilt, which can be inlaid with fire spirit crystals, which can release the energy contained in the spirit crystal and become an attack.
Tang Bai's wealth soon attracted the attention of many monks, Fang City was originally a place without rules, it was originally a place of sin, not to mention a monk in the realm of truth, there was no difference between him and ordinary people here.
The strong only kill the weak, and never sympathize.
In the face of hostility from all sides, Tang Bai hid in the shop and did not dare to leave, but fortunately, the shopkeeper was a 'good person', and specially arranged for a guy to send him back to the inn.
The guy is weak, but behind him stands strong people, so he is also strong.
Behind Tang Bai also stood a powerful monk, who was Xuan Lao. So in the middle of the night, Tang Bai heard the fighting outside, but he didn't go out, and then the next morning, he saw seven corpses.
Among them, there is a monk in the Jindan realm, and according to the shopkeeper of 'Jubao Zhai', that guy is only one step away from Jindan Dacheng.
It is useless for people to die in any realm, but at least it proves the truth that people die for wealth and birds die for food.
After more than half a month, when he was bored, Tang Bai studied the leather scroll of the Requiem for a long time, but unfortunately he didn't know much about the rhythm, and he blew it a few times, and then blew Xuan Lao out of the room, he looked at Tang Bai strangely and suspiciously: "You are a disciple of the Great Yan Sect?"
Tang Bai said: "Yes, it has been a year since I entered the Yanzong Cultivation Dao. ”
Xuan Lao said: "Then why do you have a very strong bloody aura on your body? And this kind of soul-devouring magic song?"
Tang Bai said: "This is my secret, everyone will have their own ulterior secret, do you say?"
Xuan Lao opened his mouth, didn't say anything more, and returned to the room with some interest.
Tang Bai looked at the bamboo flute in his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly. He naturally knew that he was playing a magic song, but he didn't expect that an ordinary bamboo flute could be heard, and this song must be extraordinary. Then he took out the bone flute and tried to drip blood.
Blood droplets dripped on the milky white bone flute, like drops on an ordinary piece of white jade, leaving only a trace of blood, which dripped to the ground again.
Tang Bai was a little puzzled in his heart, most of the magic weapons were sacrificed with blood, because blood is the nourishment of the heart, and the heart is the center of people.
The body is tangible, the mind is intangible, the mind is like the 'Tao', and all the laws are called the 'Dao', and the mind is the connection point between 'being' and 'nothing', just like the perfect dividing line of the Taiji diagram.
Isn't the bone flute in his hand a magic weapon?
Tang Bai was puzzled, and a few days later, he tried a few more times, and when he saw that it was still the case, he put the bone flute into the purple gold ring, and he understood that this bone flute might have a special method of sacrifice.
After that, Tang Bai continued to meditate and practice, and after another seven or eight days, just as he was completely immersed in the practice, Xuan Lao knocked on his door and entered Tang Bai's room.
Tang Bai had a feeling that he was waiting for his own affairs to come.
Sure enough, Xuan Lao casually took out a scroll and handed it to him: "This is the Soul Conjuring Flower, your task is to go to the mountains to find this flower, and then bring it out." ”
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "It's a soul summoning flower again, if I knew this, I should have promised Qin Youlu." ”
Xuan Lao said: "Someone else asked you to look for this flower?"
Tang Bai said: "That person is willing to use a spiritual treasure as a reward. ”
Xuan Lao said: "Then why don't you agree to him?"
Tang Bai glanced at Xuan Lao and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't escape from your palm, you thought I was willing to enter the Yin Spirit Mountain Range and joke with my own life." After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xuan Lao, opened the scroll and looked, only to see a never-before-seen flower painted on the scroll, shaped like an umbrella, the flower has three petals, a total of white, yellow, black three colors, but it is also very easy to identify.
Xuan Lao said: "Have you written it down?"
Tang Bai nodded and handed the scroll back to him.
Xuan Lao handed him a jade box engraved with runes and said: "In this case, after finding the Soul Conjuring Flower, use the jade box to pack, and after you come out, you can hand over the jade box to me, and I will not care about you wherever you go in the future." ”
After Tang Bai took the jade talisman of the jade box, he couldn't help but take a look, only to see that the jade box was dark green, and there were fine lines engraved on it.
He put the jade box into the purple gold ring, and couldn't help but sneer: "Let's talk about it if I have a life!" After speaking, he sighed lightly: "Even if you can come out of the Yin Spirit Mountain Range, so what, can you still go back to the sect? Heaven and earth are so big, with my current cultivation, where can I go?"
Xuan Lao said: "This is your business. After speaking, he was a little hesitant, and then he had a milky white jade talisman in his hand, threw it directly to Tang Bai, and said lightly: "Although I don't have a spirit treasure for you, this jade talisman is equivalent to a blow from the Yuanying Monk, no spell handprint, you can drip blood and practice it, and it should be used for you to save your life in the Yin Spirit Mountain Range!"
The jade rune is milky white, two fingers wide and long, and countless runes are engraved on it, bright red as blood, and the luminous light flows, and you can know that it is extraordinary at a glance.
What can save his life, Tang Bai will never be polite.
He bit his index finger, and the blood dripped on the jade talisman, only to see that the rune on it emitted a faint red light, and after absorbing the blood, he immediately had a faint connection with his mind. This connection is like a switch, as long as it is slightly pushed, it can detonate the jade talisman in his hand. He could feel an extremely terrifying energy on the runes!
Seeing that he had been dripping blood for the sacrifice, Xuan Lao said, "Put away the things, and now follow me!"
Tang Bai was silent for a few seconds, then took a breath, jumped up, walked out of the room, and followed closely behind Xuan Lao.
The two of them walked out of the inn, out of Fang City, and then walked straight in the direction of the Yin Spirit Mountain Range.
He didn't walk fast, it took about half an hour for dozens of miles, but it gave Tang Bai the feeling that he had gone from night to day.
The morning sun rises from the east, breaking through the pitch-black curtain, dyeing the red glow on the horizon, the sky is bright, and there is a mountain bag like a mountain like a mountain, such as a hill like a tomb, and there are miscellaneous trees of different sizes growing on it.
At this time, in early spring, it is early in the morning, and new green leaves have grown on the branches and leaves, accompanied by the fresh air of the early morning, which looks vibrant. . .
Xuan Lao led the way, and after going up the mountain, he turned three times and two times to a honeycomb-shaped boulder, and pinched a trick with his hand, and the honeycomb stone suddenly flashed brightly, and a man-high cave appeared.
