Chapter XXIII: The Spoils of War
The valley was covered with falling rubble, as well as a large number of eggshell fragments, and Lin Huan collected all these fragments after seeking the consent of the black dragon.
The eggshell of a dragon is also a precious material with the power of a dragon, and it has a miraculous effect when used to feed pet beasts or alchemy.
"Hook up. ”
Stepping into the Mixed Yuan Realm, Lin Huan's strength was much greater than before, and without the help of the black dragon, he easily cleared the huge gravel and entered the cave.
"Long time no see. ”
Gou Lian smiled kindly, after not seeing him for a few days, Lin Huan found that Gou Lian had lost a lot of weight, and his lips were a little pale.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lin Huan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's like I haven't eaten for a few days." ”
"It's pretty much the same. ”
Gou Lian smiled bitterly and said, "But it's good that you're back now." ”
"What does it have to do with me?"
Lin Huan frowned and asked, then suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, and he was stunned: "No..."
"That's right, it's because of the Xuan Jing..."
Gou Lian made a bitter face and said: "The Xuan Jing is here, I can still live by absorbing its energy, and if the Xuan Jing is not here, I have nothing to replenish." ”
"Then why didn't you say it before?"
"I said you'd leave the Xuan Jing behind?"
“...”
Lin Huan was a little embarrassed to be asked by Gou Lian, coughed dryly, and said, "Then why don't you leave here?"
"Would you like to hear it?"
"Idle is idle, listen to it for a while. ”
Lin Huan casually picked a big stone, took a sword and sat on it, ready to listen to the story.
"Your swordsmanship is good. ”
Gou Lian praised.
"Hardly ever practiced. ”
Lin Huan shrugged his shoulders, no matter whether Gou Lian praised him, or the head of the house praised the young master, he didn't feel how well his sword was used, nor did he feel how well the young master used it.
In Lin Huan's eyes, it was just a very ordinary use of the sword in his hand.
"Well, it seems that you have a talent for sword practice. ”
Gou Lian didn't bother much, sat aside, and said, "Can you release the Xuan Jing first?" ”
Lin Huan nodded, took out a small jar, and released the Xuan Jing.
As soon as Xuan Jing came out, the silver light shone in the cave, which was obviously much brighter than when Lin Huan first saw it.
"Thank you. ”
Gou Lian closed his eyes and sucked for a while, his face turned out to be really better, and his voice sounded a little stronger.
"You've been living by absorbing the energy of this thing in a cave for the past three years?"
Lin Huan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes. ”
Gou Lian nodded seriously.
"Oh..."
Lin Huan rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
He has seen countless anecdotes in the soul world, but he has heard of people like Gou Lian.
"It's actually a machine spirit reincarnated..."
Lin Huan's fingers subconsciously lit on the stone surface, the machine spirit is rare, and it is even rarer to be reincarnated as a human, in the past 100 million years, Lin Huan has seen the monkey escape from the soul world, but he has never witnessed the reincarnation of the machine spirit.
"I don't know why I have this ability, maybe it's my talent, but I don't know what this talent is for. ”
Gou Lian smiled apologetically, looking at his expression, he seemed to be afraid that Lin Huan would think he was lying, after all, this way of surviving was really incredible.
"Maybe you'll find out later, but you'll better say why you're stuck here. ”
Lin Huan saw that Gou Lian didn't know the identity of his machine spirit, and he didn't talk much, after all, he remembered that the fate of the machine spirit in the legend was tragic.
Because there is no spirit in the artifact, even if there is an artifact that unintentionally produces a tool spirit, it is also an existence outside of reincarnation, so even if the instrument spirit is reincarnated, it is difficult to escape the fate of being a tool.
"I'm stuck here because I'm under a curse. ”
Gou Lian said with a heavy face: "Back then, Dongzong intended to recruit me to join, but I refused because I liked the atmosphere of the Xuantie faction, and later, Dongzong appointed me as the next head of the Xuantie faction. ”
Lin Huan nodded, these are the same as what Heishi said.
"One day, there is always a weird roar from the back mountain, this cry is too weird, so I came to find out, and I found that the black dragon is here to absorb the Xuanjing eggs, because I know the beast language and can communicate with it, plus its nature is not bad, we are familiar, I also know that the original Xuanjing is not the legend of the Xuantie faction, but the real thing!"
Gou Lian said slowly.
"Roar.."
The black dragon screamed softly outside, and the two walked to the entrance of the cave, where the black dragon was lying at the entrance of the cave and looking at them kindly, his body entrenched together, like a small mountain.
Gou Lian looked at the black dragon and smiled, and continued, "One day later, I suddenly found out that I had been cursed. ”
"Cursed?"
Lin Huan was a little surprised, the curse was a mysterious and powerful force no matter what world it was, even a weak curse was very rare.
When he read a book in the library for the first time, Lin Huan once thought that people in this world didn't know about curses, but it wasn't until he personally turned over all the books that he saw a little bit of information about curses.
"Dongzong?"
Lin Huan asked reasonably, according to the scale of the Xuantie Sect and the Red Fire Sect, it was impossible to have such a precious thing as a curse.
"In the past few years, I have always thought it was Dongzong, until that day, the day you came here..."
Gou Lian said coldly: "In the past few years, the black dragon has long found that there are people nearby, and my curse is also caused by those people, since I hit that curse, I can't leave this cave." ”
Gou Lian looked at his hands and said, "I can stand at the entrance of the cave now because the power of the curse has been slowly consumed over the years, and at the beginning, even if I get a little closer to the entrance of the cave, I feel that the vitality is passing quickly!"
"Their purpose is to trap you to death?"
"Yes, there are black dragons in them, and they don't dare to approach the valley, but they are afraid that I will affect their plans, so they use this method!
Lin Huan smacked his lips and understood what Gou Lian just said thinking it was Dongzong.
"It turned out that it was done by the Black Scale Country. ”
"Yes!"
Gou Lian's eyes were cold, he looked at the sky, and read: "When the power of the curse is completely gone, I must settle this account with them!"
"How long do you think it will take?"
"Ten years!"
“...”
Lin Huan pursed his lips, ten years, waiting for so long, the daylily is cold.
What's more, if you are like this, if you don't have a Xuan Jing for a while, you will be weak and die, and you can still live for ten years?
"By the way, Lin Huan, can I ask you..."
"No talk!"
Lin Huan directly raised his hand to stop Gou Lian from continuing to speak, Gou Lian blinked, and there was a trace of grievance in his expression.
"I'll give you the money. ”
"It doesn't matter how much money you have. ”
Lin Huan's righteous refusal was not tempted by property at all.
Joke, how many things in this world can be worth more than Xuan Jing?
The Xuantie faction mined the Xuanjing Essence every day, and they couldn't believe that there was a Xuanjing nearby, which showed how incredible the Xuanjing was for everyone.
"Then can you bear to starve me to death like this?"
Gou Lian was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Forbearance. ”
Lin Huan said it, but he was really a little unbearable in his heart.
He still recognizes the character of the black dragon and Gou Lian, and if he leaves with Xuan Jing now, Gou Lian will definitely starve to death.
And Lin Huan always felt that in the dark, there was a voice guiding him, and a force was pushing him to help Gou Lian.
"Could it be the owner of the hook?"
After feeling it carefully for a while, Lin Huan was almost certain that there was indeed a force that had been guiding him to help Gou Lian.
And Rao is Lin Huan's soul is so strong, he can't figure out what is making him help Goulian.
"It could be the mind of some powerful being!"
It is so rare to have a reincarnated machine spirit, and the owner who can possess such a tool must also be extraordinary!
Lin Huan sighed helplessly, thought for a while, and said, "I can't stay Xuanjing, it's not that I can't trust you, but I can't practice it for ten years, but maybe I have other ways to help you." ”
"Really?!"
Gou Lian raised his head sharply and stared at Lin Huan in surprise, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Well, but it may have to wait a few days. ”
Lin Huan nodded, left Gou Lian in the cave, climbed to the top of the valley and looked around, and was about to go down the mountain.
"Roar!"
The black dragon suddenly jumped out from behind and threw Lin Huan on his back.
Lin Huan sat on the huge dragon head in shock, grabbed the dragon horns with both hands, and smiled with relief after relieving himself.
It seems that the black dragon also wants to help Gou Lian.
"There are many people who have seen dragons, but there are not many people who are lucky enough to sit on the dragon's head!"
Lin Huan pointed to a puddle of blood and mud in the distance and said, "Let's go there first." ”
The black dragon groaned, and his body jumped out suddenly, Rao is Lin Huan was already ready, and his body couldn't help but be planted!
"Roar. ”
The black dragon was extremely fast, Lin Huan needed to run for half a day, and the black dragon only rushed forward a little to arrive.
Lin Huan looked back, and there was still a small half of the dragon's tail that didn't come out in the valley...
"We must let the little black snake evolve into a dragon too!"
Lin Huan secretly made a decision, jumped off the dragon's head, flipped in the bloody mud, shook his hand in disappointment, and jumped back again.
"Go there again. ”
In the blink of an eye, the black dragon brought Lin Huan to the next place of blood mud.
Unlike the previous place, there were not only fine pieces of flesh and blood all over the ground, but also a trace of white-green slime, and a fishy smell permeated the air.
Lin Huan frowned, held his breath, looked down for a while, and finally found a delicate ring lying quietly aside.
"Sure enough!"
With Tu Hua's strength and identity, everything on his body will not be damaged if it is burned by a knife.
Lin Huan's eyes lit up, and he picked up the ring, and his divine sense couldn't wait to infiltrate.
"Buzz!"
Tu Hua's spiritual imprint left in the storage ring tried to stop Lin Huan's invasion, but it was easily erased by Lin Huan, and the things in the storage ring appeared in Lin Huan's divine consciousness...
"Sent it... Sent it... It's gone!"
Lin Huan looked at the contents of the ring, licked his lips excitedly, and his eyes lit up with excitement!
"Soul Grass. . . Yuanshi.. What is this? What is this?"
Lin Huan inspected the contents of the ring in the same way, Tu Hua's ring not only contained all kinds of cherished herbs, but also countless yuan stones and precious treasures.
If it weren't for the small diary of the gold miner, seventy percent of the things here would have been something that Lin Huan didn't know.
But even so, there are still many things that Lin Huan can't recognize.
"Soul rejuvenated... Valuable... Increase the cultivation of. Refining.. Exercises... Hey, pet beasts..."
It took Lin Huan a full ten minutes to count the things in the ring, and finally left three things.
A long, slender sword that shimmers with a chill, a strange necklace, and a sheet of music.
Dancing a sword flower casually, the sharp sword qi cut a series of slashing sounds in the air, leaving white sword marks.
"Good sword!"
Lin Huan took out the Xuantie Sword again, and slashed at each other with the two swords.
Sonor!
Before the two swords really touched, the Xuantie Sword had been cut off by the invisible sword qi!
"This Tuhua is really rich!"
Lin Huan looked at the long sword in his hand, and vaguely felt that killing people and selling goods was the most suitable way for him to get rich.
After playing with the long sword, Lin Huan began to study the remaining necklaces and sheet music again.
