Chapter 048: The Jade Box
When he heard Dao Zhi say that she might need tips for her future journey, Xu Liyue's heart still sank. Although I know that in life, there will inevitably be twists and turns, but usually the situation needs to use tips to resolve the twists and turns, but I am afraid that it is not small! But since this trick is a clever plan, it is also a heavenly opportunity, and it must not be leaked in advance. She had no choice but to hold on to the box, temporarily suppressing the curiosity and a little uneasiness in her heart.
"Let me check the Rotten Bone Gu invasion for Dao Shang first." Gu Xun said, moved to the front of Dao Shang's bed, sat cross-legged, his hands were sealed, and the colorful halo of light on the tips of the sword in his right hand was transformed into a colorful light snake and swam into Dao Shang's wrist vein.
Dao Zhi's expression was still flat, as if everything was in his foreknowledge, just sitting on the futon on the side, looking down at Dao Shang's old face.
Qinglang was a little nervous, maybe he still hoped that Gu Xun could give a surprising answer, or he also hoped that Dao Shang's situation still had room for looping.
Dao Shang was still awake three days ago, but that time was the last time he was sober, and Dao Shang knew very well in his heart that his life would end. Even though Qing Lang told him that Gu Xun was already refining the Detoxification Gu, Dao Shang only nodded, and then explained what happened after his death.
At that time, all the monks of the temple had already understood the meaning of the abbot.
Dao Shang's last words are to let Tongming inherit the mantle of the abbot, and Qinglang's future road is all with fate.
Although Dao Zhi's cultivation is higher than that of Dao Shang, he is inferior to Dao Shang in the Enlightenment of Heavenly Machines. He could only roughly deduce that Qinglang's future was very related to this Xu Liyue, but he couldn't know more about the details, and Dao Shang refused to tell him. Therefore, Dao Shang attaches so much importance to Xu Liyue, presumably because of his heart for Qinglang.
After Gu Xun withdrew his spiritual power, his expression was also obscure. This Rotten Bone Venerable Gu was really powerful, and the damage it did to Dao Shang's body had exceeded Gu Xun's original estimate. At this time, even if the Devouring Gu had already been formed, Dao Shang would not be able to return to the sky.
Originally, in Gu Xun's original speculation, this Rotten Bone Venerable Gu should not develop to such a situation until two days later. But at this time, after he investigated, he realized that maybe the demon sect demon girl Feng Xixi also added special medicinal materials when she was cultivating this rotten bone Gu, so the more he suppressed the Gu poison, the more powerful the Gu poison rebounded in the later stage. In this way, not only did not save Daoshang, but made him suffer for several more days.
Although the person in this rotten bone Venerable Gu looks like a lethargy, in fact, it is a Gu poison that seals a person's five senses once every five days, and then makes people wake up and wake up once in five days, and then fall into a coma again and suffer torture. Falling into a coma is not really a coma, but in the eyes of the outside world, it is a coma, in fact, the person in the Gu is just unable to see, hear, smell, or move or speak to the outside world, but he is extremely sensitive to feel the invasion of Gu poison in his body, which is an inhuman torture.
It's just that at this time, Gu Xun is more and more interested in what Dao Shang is for, and he actually made Feng Xi so ruthless. If it weren't for ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to endure this kind of torture, and they would either choose to die, or choose to exchange for an antidote with the person who fell under the Gu. What Feng Xixi wants should be that when she wakes up on the fifth day, people who can't stand the torment will go to her to ask for an antidote.
After everyone was silent in their thoughts for a while, Gu Xun broke the silence first: "Can Master Dao Zhi tell Dao Shang what it is, and would rather give up his life than exchange for the antidote?" ”
Dao Zhi raised his head and glanced at Qinglang, and then said, "Qinglang, you take Xu Li's little donor to the guest room to rest first." ”
Qinglang nodded silently, then turned around and walked towards the door.
Xu Liyue heard Dao Zhi say this, but his heart was suspicious. Is there any unsavory secret in this that makes it necessary to separate her and Qinglang? However, in Gu Xun's eyes, Xu Liyue had no choice but to keep up with Qinglang's footsteps. But I remember that the demon girl who chased after Dayu Town that day said that it seemed that the Daoshang master and apprentice had robbed her of some "sulfur-hearted carp shark horn" that she was squatting in, what was that? Even if Dao Shang is a great Buddha cultivator, he will not even want his life but only a broken treasure, so it seems that the treasure is too precious and powerful.
Xu Liyue took a few steps to catch up with Qinglang and said, "Little monk, do you know what the sulfur-hearted carp shark horn is?" ”
Qinglang seemed to be slightly dissatisfied with Xu Liyue's address to him, frowned slightly, shook his head again, and said, "The little monk doesn't know, but the master has already given it to Xu Liyue's benefactor." ”
Regarding the whereabouts of the sulfur-hearted carp shark horn, Dao Shang only informed Dao Zhi and Qinglang, of course, Xu Liyue also knew at this time.
Xu Liyue was taken aback and was surprised.
Dao Shang's head was not squeezed by the door, and the things he exchanged for his life were actually given to her?
Xu Liyue looked at the black box in his arms again, and just wanted to open it to see what it was, but Qinglang in front of him turned around and said, "Xu Li's donor can't open this now?" (1) jade box. ”
"What? Jade box? Why can't it be opened now? Xu Li was more curious, this box didn't look locked, how could it not be opened.
"The jade is only produced in the city, and after the nourishment of the special soil of the city, let the jade be nourished? The jade is as black as charcoal, and it is as light as a feather, but it can sink when it encounters water, and float when it encounters a swamp. If it is made into such a container, even if it is the magic power of the Mahayana true immortals, it will not be able to see the slightest thing inside. ”
Qinglang said this, although Xu Liyue didn't know this? What kind of material is it, but its efficacy is still roughly understood. It's just that now she's more curious, and the more things she can't know, the more curious she becomes. However, Xu Liyue also suddenly remembered that in the Demon Realm, isn't there a map marked as "Jize"?
"Then how can I open this jade box?"
Qinglang looked at the courtyard that had already walked out of the master's meditation room, and sat down at the stone table under a red plane tree. He also knew that his uncle had deliberately separated him and Xu Liyue before, and since he had already left at this time, he was not in a hurry to take Xu Liyue to the guest room, so he beckoned to Xu Liyue and said, "Come here, I'll talk to you slowly." ”
Xu Liyue was stunned for a moment, Qinglang at this time didn't look old, she really felt a steady aura from him. In just a few months, what kind of baptism did this little monk go through in his heart to make him seem like a different person?
Xu Liyue suddenly walked over obediently, as if he couldn't resist Qinglang's order, and sat obediently across the stone table.
This is the main hall facing the Lotus Heart Peak at the Shizi Peak of the Bandu Temple, because it is different from the location of the Xizi Peak, which mainly receives pilgrims and other outsiders, and it is a different magnificent view. The sunshine gradually slanting to the west has plated the stone carved Buddha statue outside the main hall with a golden body, and Qinglang's small figure is also dyed with a different kind of hazy beauty in the sunset.
Xu Liyue was stunned for a moment, but came back to his senses in Qinglang's words.
