Chapter 245: The Weight of Inheritance
The green pool was tumbling.
Tang Xiao's forehead was sweaty, and his face was full of pain.
Hua Rou was no longer curious at the moment, she was matched with poisons, and naturally knew how toxic those poisons were, so when she saw Tang Xiao's painful expression, she couldn't help but whisper with concern next to her: "Does it hurt?" Can you still hold on? ”
Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and nodded.
"What can I do for you?"
Tang Xiao didn't speak, and at this time, the divine tree began to sink again, and the medicine in the leaves and vines on the second layer sank into the water.
The pale green water continued to tumble, but the color gradually deepened.
In this way, after the second layer was submerged, there was no third layer, the color of the pool water point gradually deepened, Tang Xiao's expression became more and more painful, and when the leaf vine of the fourth layer was just submerged in the water, Tang Xiao's body began to shake violently.
Seeing this, Hua Rou was anxious by the pool.
"Flower Rou!" Tang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out a hand: "Drag me out!" ”
Hua Rou immediately reached out to pull Tang Xiao, but Tang Xiao pulled her suddenly.
Hua Rou fell into the pool, and Tang Xiao pressed her in front of him with both hands and sat down.
"What are you doing!" Hua Rou was panicked, but Tang Xiao shouted: "Don't talk, meditate on luck, and enter the dantian with internal strength." ”
"But ......"
"Quick!" Tang Xiao shouted seriously and eagerly: "Do as I say!" There's no time to explain now. ”
Hua Rou saw Tang Xiao's serious and eager appearance, so she could only do it immediately.
And Tang Xiao looked at Hua Rou's luck, and then eased his emotions and said softly: "There is only one chance to inherit, I have an injury on my body, and the medicinal properties can't be accumulated at all when they enter the body and leak out, so I can only replace you for ......."
"I'm coming?" Hua Rou opened her eyes in surprise: "But I ......"
"Shut up! Meditation! Tang Xiao looked serious: "Listen to my guidance: return to Yuanhai, be full of energy, introduce medicine into the body, and poison quench the meridians." ”
What can Hua Rou do? At this moment, he was always surprised and could only do as he was told, but Tang Xiao got up silently and slowly withdrew from the medicine pool.
Tang Xiao stood by the pool, his eyes looked at Hua Rou, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face.
"How does it feel?"
Hua Rou closed her eyes and replied: "My whole body is itchy and painful, as if there are many small insects biting me." ”
"Bear with it, as the toxicity in the pool rises, your feelings will become more and more painful, but as long as you persevere, you can get the inheritance."
Hua Rou's eyes immediately opened when she heard this: "But, I got the inheritance, so what should you do?" ”
"That's not something you should worry about right now! Mindfulness! ”
Facing Tang Xiao's suddenly tense face, Hua Rou could only reluctantly close her eyes again and concentrate on her exercises.
And Tang Xiao looked at Hua Rou and laughed silently again.
If you get the inheritance, Grandma can only accept the reality. I can't sacrifice you, I'd rather give up myself and fulfill you.
……
In the secret room, Honggu's body was laid flat on the ground.
Tang Jiu'er's face was silent, and she wiped the blood stains on Honggu's face with a wet handkerchief, and sorted out her remains.
After tidying up and wiping, Tang Jiu'er took off Honggu's bloody clothes and prepared to change them, but unexpectedly found that Honggu's back had a circular scar similar to a burn, like a token.
This made Tang Jiu'er a little stunned, because she had seen the same scar before, and that scar was on Zuo Li's back.
Tang Jiu'er bit her lip.
This mark is exactly the same as the brand on Zuo Li's back back then, could it be that Zuo Li is also a spy sent by the Meng Mansion?
……
"Prophet, know everything...... That's all. ”
After seeing all the murals, Mu Junwu laughed at himself and walked back.
However, the moment he walked to the center of the hall, the stone slabs that had sunk the wooden puppets suddenly turned, and six words appeared on the floor, and they formed a circle, just enclosing Mu Junwu in the middle.
"Life and death, chieftain, Dugu, Shiyuan, Xinqi, prophet." After Mu Junwu finished reading these six words in surprise, he looked up at the mural on the wall again, and he smiled: "Prophet, do you want me to know the result before choosing?" If so, then ......"
Mu Junwu stepped up and stepped on "Dugu".
Immediately, a stone slab in the main hall moved open, revealing a downward staircase.
……
The sacred tree had already submerged into the eight layers of the pool water, and the color of the pool water had almost turned black at this time.
Hua Rou was not in the pool water, and the beads of sweat on her forehead slid down in large pieces and dripped into the tumbling pool water.
It was a strange feeling, not like the poison was hurting her, but the heat brought by the tumbling water in the pool was like a needle piercing the meridians in her body, which made her more and more painful.
"Hold on, there's one last layer, you're going to succeed in no time." Tang Xiao whispered to cheer her on the edge of the pool, and as soon as the words fell, the last layer of leaves and vines of Jianmu began to sink slowly.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao turned around and knelt down towards the west, and said silently in his heart: Grandma, thank you for raising me as an adult and cultivating me carefully for many years, I know the importance of inheritance, and I also know that the position of the master of the door cannot be outflowed, so I made the choice I should make.
Tang Xiao turned his head to look at Hua Rou.
You said that no one can be sacrificed, may my choice make the Tang Sect better, and I don't have to be a person who hates myself.
After Tang Xiao silently kowtowed three times to the west, he got up and waited by the pool, looking at Hua Rou with his eyes: "This is the last stage, if you feel that you can't hold it, just call me, and I will help you get through." ”
Hua Rou nodded, at this time Jianmu had completely submerged in the water, and the black pool water was tumbling and boiling, looking extremely hideous.
Soon, Hua Rou's whole body shook like chaff, and Tang Xiao saw that his hand had already stretched out, as if as soon as Hua Rou opened his mouth, he would enter the pool and sacrifice himself to fulfill Hua Rou.
Hua Rou's body trembled very much, her face was as red as the morning glow, and the sweat on her forehead turned from dripping to dripping, but she didn't make a sound, just bit her lip stubbornly.
Tang Xiao was very surprised and admired when he saw this, he didn't expect that she, who looked so delicate, would have so much strength to endure and fight.
He was silently concerned and worried.
Just when he thought that Hua Rou might not be able to hold it anymore, and raised his feet to prepare to step into the pool, the water that had been boiling in the pool was obviously flattening, and soon it was completely calm, and then the black pool water was rapidly draining and sinking.
Tang Xiao was stunned for a long time, and then rejoiced: "Hua Rou, you succeeded, you survived!" ”
Hua Rou, who was extremely tired, slowly opened her eyes, and she looked at her hands: "This is a success?" ”
Tang Xiao glanced at the bottom of the pool that was almost revealed, quickly retreated and shouted eagerly: "Hua Rou, you sit there and don't move, wait until you see the secret book exercises at the bottom of the pool, just do it." ”
Hua Rou saw Tang Xiao retreating, and she was puzzled: "Why are you so far away from me?" ”
"The secret art of the bottom of the pool can only be learned by you, but you can rest assured that you have already passed the hardest part, and there will be no danger in the future. I...... I'll be waiting for you outside the temple. ”
Tang Xiao said, and the people went outside the hall, and at this moment there was no trace of regret on his face, only a happy smile for Hua Rou.
Hua Rou looked at Tang Xiao's back and disappeared at the entrance, and felt a little panicked, but at this time, the water in the pool had receded, and the bottom of the pool was not the stone pattern that was first seen through the clear water, but a dense piece of carved text.
Hua Rou didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as she adjusted her breathing slightly, she immediately started to exercise according to the characters at the bottom.
