Chapter Ninety-Six: Showdown
The man was an old man, very old, with a white beard and white hair, a shiny white beard that dragged down to his chest, dressed in a kudzu linen robe, holding a small palm-sized ornament like a question mark in one hand, and a gray-white cane in the other.
Old Stick, Barton.
Barton laughed and walked into the room, and sat down in front of Tang Dou unceremoniously: "Long time no see, little friend!" ”
"It must not be good to see you. It's better for us to see each other than to miss each other! Tang Dou sneered three times.
"It's better to miss each other? Well said, well said. However, you must know why the old man came, and he will definitely be happy to meet the old man! Barton laughed.
Tang Dou raised his eyebrows: "Zhu Yuehuo was deliberately let me meet it?" ”
"Oh? Why do you think that? Barton was asking rhetorically, but the expression on his face was a smug look of "I did it."
Tang Dou looked at Barton, estimating that he was far from being the opponent of this old god stick, so he had to endure his anger and said, "There are many things that make no sense about the actions of the black-clothed organization. They wanted to catch Xiangru, thinking that Xiangru was the son of prophecy, but ordinary means could not stimulate Xiangru to become the son of prophecy, so they repeatedly released water. ”
Tang Dou said while pouring himself a glass of water, but instead of drinking it, he held it in his hand and played with it: "According to what Niu Ben said, you need to torture me to death in front of Xiangru, so as to stimulate Xiangru to become the son of prophecy." Then the question arises, why didn't the black-clothed organization start when there were so many opportunities before? There are only three reasons I can think of. First, just torture and kill me can't succeed, and other conditions are needed, so the black-clothed organization seems to be pressing step by step on the surface, but it is still releasing water. Second, the people in the black-clothed organization are all brain-dead, and they are also super-brain-dead. Third, the intelligence in the hands of the black-clad organization is not perfect, there is a certain news, or a certain person, who is misleading them! ”
Speaking of this, Tang Dou looked at Barton: "The second point is obviously impossible. If the black-clad organization were all brain-dead, then I would be much easier. The first and third points can actually be regarded as points. If I had to guess, someone was misleading the Black Suit by telling them a completely untrue piece of news, and the news was so plausible that the Black Cloak suddenly changed its style in the middle of the process. But he was unwilling, so he made many temptations. The howling wind is there once, and the bull run there is another time. And it was precisely because of these two temptations that the black-clothed organization believed in this person's deception, and completely changed its approach to dealing with me, from pressing to driving! ”
As soon as Tang Dou's voice was closed, his wrist flicked, and the clear water in the cup turned into yellow sand, poured on the table, and slowly turned into three names and a question mark.
"The Child of Prophecy may be Xiangru, but for Xiangru to become the Child of Prophecy, it needs some assistance. I am one of them, and Zhu Yuehuo is also one of them. And this question mark is also one of them, or two, or more! Is that right? Daddy Barton? Tang Dou's affirmative tone floated between the lines like a flame in the dark.
He's asking? No, he's in a showdown.
Barton gave a look of appreciation: "Sure enough, you are indeed the person in the prophecy. The Child of Prophecy is not one person, but four people, the little girl of the Golden Ape Clan is one, this woman with a gluttonous war spirit is one, and there is another, which you will meet in the future. And you are the most critical one among them. Only if you show up, the other three children of prophecy will come together! ”
"What exactly is a child of prophecy?" Tang Dou asked.
"Now you are not qualified to know. The only thing that can be known is that there are many forces staring at the Children of Prophecy. And the son of prophecy is related to the general trend of the world, and it is even more related to ......" Barton didn't continue, but just glanced upwards with his eyes.
Tang Dou understood.
The Children of Prophecy are related to the heavenly realm.
Whether there is really a heavenly realm, Tang Dou doesn't know, but there are so many legends, naturally it is impossible to come out of nowhere. Under the premise that he has already crossed, it is better to believe the rumors of the heavenly realm.
"So, what do you want the Child of Prophecy to do?" Tang Dou said this very cleverly. It's not what the Child of Prophecy can do, it's what the old god in front of him wants to do.
"Collect the Wishing Orbs! When your strength stands at the top of this world, you will know the purpose of the old man! Barton's expression became solemn, and the hypocritical smirk was put away and turned into a coldness.
"Wishing Orbs? Is it seven? What can you summon when you find all of them? Tang Dou complained funny.
"No, there was originally only one Wishing Bead, but it was broken for some reason, and eventually turned into five small Wishing Beads, with a few fragments. But how many there are are unknown. The Child of Prophecy can sense the location of the Wishing Orb! Barton said.
"Yo? It's become the plot of Inuyasha again.。 Is it really good to mess around like this? Tang Dou scolded in his heart, and then said: "Induction? I don't feel anything! ”
"You need to find the last Child of Prophecy. Then you can sense it! Barton said.
"So what's in it for me?" Tang Dou changed his face, just like when he asked for equipment at Barton's place.
When Barton saw Tang Dou's appearance, he naturally remembered the situation of being blackmailed at that time, and his face turned dark, but he still said: "The Wishing Spirit Bead has great power, which can be good or evil. If you use it rightly, you can benefit the world, and if you use it evil, it can bring disaster to the world! ”
"I'll go, it's really the jade of the four souls. Hey, hey, this is a copycat, is there a royalty! Tang Dou complained in his heart.
"If you can get all the wishing beads, you can make a wish, no matter what the wish is, it can become a reality!" Barton turned into a god stick again, with a flickering look on his face.
"Well, it turned out to be Dragon Ball." Tang Dou pursed his lips and said after being silent for a while: "You mean to say that if I make a wish and let Sister Su Wen be resurrected, it will be okay?" ”
"Of course!" Barton said, "Even, you can go back to your hometown!" ”
Tang Dou's pupils suddenly contracted into needles: "You...... Know my past? ”
Barton smiled bitterly: "At the cost of ten years of life, I want to calculate your past, but I can only see a fog, but I know that you are not very human. The star of the demons is in the sky, and the son of prophecy is coming. For this world, you have no past, no roots, your choices, your past, is your roots! ”
Tang Dou squinted his eyes and looked at Barton, his heart churning, and after a while, he said, "How to solve Zhu Yuehuo's situation?" Don't say you don't know, I was very strange at the beginning, her split personality is not strange, but why are the two forms of the war spirit split correspondingly, and they correspond to each other. The good side corresponds to the war spirit with strong combat power, while the evil side corresponds to the war spirit with no combat power. It's too much of a coincidence. I didn't understand it at first, but now I do, it's all thanks to you! ”
Barton shrugged noncommittally: "The old man just happened to be there." If the old man didn't make a move, she would have died! ”
"So you made her worse than dead?" Tang Dou's eyes burned with anger.
Zhu Yuehuo's soft sister's personality is obviously her original personality, but for such a kind and soft-hearted person, she was forced to eat corpses, which is definitely worse than death. Tang Dou himself didn't know if he would simply commit suicide if he had changed himself.
"Little friend, I think you misunderstood. She had never actually eaten a corpse. Gluttonous Warspirits have abilities you can't imagine. Over the years, it was all gluttonous war spirits who were eating corpses, and converting the energy after eating corpses into life force and sending them into her body. Barton said very seriously: "If she really kept eating corpses, her body would have been contaminated, but do you feel that her body is polluted?" You have eaten Jiuyao Tongling Meat Mushroom, you should be very sensitive to this! ”
Tang Dou recalled the situation on Zhu Yuehuo's body, indeed, as Barton said, Zhu Yuehuo's body was very pure, not to mention eating corpses, it should have eaten nothing. Thinking of saving Zhu Yuehuo from the corpse swallowing cave, Zhu Yuehuo vomited more than once he ate for the first time, at first he thought it was because he ate too many corpses and ate ordinary things and was not adaptable, but now that he thinks about it, it is simply caused by the degeneration of his digestive system after he has not eaten for too long.
"No, her other personality has eaten my flesh!" Tang Dou thought of the piece of flesh that was swallowed by the red fire, and only felt a little pain in his shoulder.
"If not, do you think she'll survive? Can you eat anything? Barton had already expected it and said, "Your body has already turned into a humanoid Jiuyao Tong Spiritual Meat Mushroom, which is the best medicine tripod. She instinctively eats your flesh to restore her body, or by the time she takes her first bite of food, she'll be dead! And the way she looks now is actually not difficult to solve, you just need to find a person to solve the problem. ”
"Who?" Tang Dou asked.
"Famous doctor, Li Shizhen!" Barton said a name that made Tang Dou very painful.
"Speaking of that damn meat mushroom. I don't think I've turned into a meat mushroom right now! Tang Dou changed the topic with a nonchalant face, but he was calculating in his heart.
"The Original Soul Recipe can only slow down this process. It is impossible to completely solve it, do you think Jiuyao Tongling Meat Mushroom is so delicious? Someone else robbed it, it was a refining medicine and taking it, but you swallowed it directly in one go. How could it not have happened? It seems that Barton also underestimated the power of the ancient mirror, and his words did not mean to deceive Tang Dou.
"Therefore, the Wishing Spirit Bead is an inevitable thing for you. As long as you have it, you can solve this problem. And the Wishing Orb is very powerful, you don't even need to use it to make a wish, as long as you bring a certain number of Wishing Orbs with you, you may be able to successfully solve this problem! Barton began to bewitch again.
Tang Dou tapped his fingers on the table, falling into thought, Barton waited on the side, without any impatience, and only raised his head again after a while: "One last question!" (To be continued.) )
