"Find the key to open this door. ”

As the injury recovered, Sun Tu and I grinded hard, and Old Man Wu and Uncle Chen finally agreed to train me again. The Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city, which had been silent for a long time, became lively again.

Old man Wu gave me a bunch of keys and led me into the room in the Taoist temple.

It's just a very ordinary room, and the furnishings are the same as my residence at the Taoist temple.

"Push the bed away. ”

It might be a lot of work for the average person to push a big bed, but now I'm relaxed.

An iron plate appeared under the bed, with a lock on it.

"Do you want to open the lock?" I asked tentatively.

"Yes. After opening, remove the iron plate. ”

Under the iron plate was a hole, and it was pitch black.

Old man Wu smiled and asked, "Can you see the cave clearly?"

If you look closely, you can only see the near. The stairs lead downwards and are invisible from a distance.

"It was dark inside, and I could only see steps nearby. ”

"You kid still can't have ghost eyes, the little girl can see clearly below here. ”

I knew in my heart that what Old Man Wu said was true, and it didn't make much difference whether Sun Tu had a light in the dark or not.

"You follow me with a flashlight. ”

I guess I walked down about two floors to the end of the stairs. A passage appeared in front of him, about two meters tall and about two meters wide according to his height.

"This place was originally prepared for you in the future, you kid is reluctant to use the treasure if you want to hide it, so you will squeeze us first. ”

I understood what Old Man Wu meant, so I bowed my head and said nothing.

"Follow me. He casually picked up a few charms on the wall: "These are for anti-theft and warning purposes, to prevent small thieves from breaking in." ”

After walking along the passage for a while, I saw several small doors appear on both sides of the wall.

"That's it. Look for this key again. ”

After a few tries, the door opened.

It was a very small room, and there was nothing in the house, except for a pit in the ground.

"Take off your clothes. ”

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment.

"This pit is full of blood and mud. ”

"Bloody mud?" I've never heard of before.

"Blood sludge is the same as silt, except it's red, so it's called blood mud. This mud is made by soaking in the blood of powerful people or powerful beasts. Their blood is also rich in a lot of mana, which can strengthen the bones of the body. ”

"How much blood does it take to make this happen. "I was shocked.

"Not only does it need blood, but it also needs to be soaked in the land of Xuanyin for a long time. In short, the higher the mana, the heavier the yin qi, and the longer the soaking time, the better the effect of the blood mud. ”

"Does the land of Xuan Yin refer to the place where the Yin world and the Yang world meet?"

"Yes. I remember explaining to you before that too much yin qi in the underworld will cause resentment in the soul and will not be beneficial to reincarnation. It is necessary to erupt yin qi into the yang world every once in a while. To put it simply, these places of Xuan Yin are like ventilation fans. ”

"And what is this?"

"Hmm. This is one of them. It just so happened that a long time ago, a man of great magic fell here, and before he died, he cut off his own blood, so that the blood sludge formed here for future generations. ”

"Who is this man?" I asked.

Old man Wu paused for a moment and said slowly, "I don't know." We are only guessing based on the records of our ancestors. ”

"In the houses on both sides of the passage?"

"Little guy, what are you thinking, if there were so many old men, they would have jumped in a long time ago. It's because you are reluctant to use it because of your lack of talent, and in the end you are cheaper. If it weren't for the fact that you are more pleasing to the eye, and the little girl's face, how could it be your turn. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

"Don't be cheap, take off your clothes quickly. ”

"Just soak in it?"

"Yes, it hurt a little at first, but it will get better later......"

"How long will it hurt?" I asked as I undressed.

"It hurts all the time. ”

"Then you said it would be better later. ”

"yes, then you got used to it. ”

At the old man's urging, I sat naked in the pit. It felt as if the blood sludge was alive, automatically wrapping me up to my jaw.

"Alright. I'm out, old man, you don't have to do anything and just stay like that. I'll pick you up when the time comes. ”

"How long?"

"Seven days and seven nights. ”

"Then I'll die of thirst and starvation......"

"It doesn't matter, the blood sludge won't make you when it comes out of your body. ”

After the old man left, the original warmth gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the skin all over the body had a pinprick pain, and it became more and more intense.

"Ah......h

In an instant, my eyes went dark and I didn't know anything.

I don't know how long it took to open my eyes, but there was still no one around. But the pain went away.

As my hand stirred in the blood mud, it felt much thinner than before, and it was no longer thicker.

In the dark environment, after waking up, he recalled all kinds of techniques taught by Old Man Wu, until he fell asleep after being sleepy.

"Little one...... Bub...... Got up. ”

I opened my eyes in a daze.

"Uncle Wu?"

"Get up when you wake up, it's not me talking about you, your physical quality is really not very good, I originally expected it to be able to do it in seven days, but it took ten days to fully absorb it. ”

"It's been ten days? ”

"Look at the blood in front of you...... You can't see clearly, touch it, isn't it the same as water?"

Sure enough, before I knew it, the originally dense feeling of wrapping turned into a soaking feeling.

"That's it?"

"Yes. Don't get dressed yet, the upper room has a medicated bath for you. I went up first, and others saw you following me like this, suspecting that there was something wrong with me, old man. ”

When I got up and climbed into the bloody mud puddle, I seemed to see a faint glow in the darkness.

After walking up the steps to the ground, I saw a large bathtub in the room, and a layer of unrecognizable herbs floating on the steaming water.

Turning over directly, a sense of comfort spread all over the body, and I couldn't help but close my eyes and sit in the bathtub.

"Ah, Brother Tang Yang, you've already come up. Sun Tu's exclamation came from his ears.

Hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw the little girl standing in front of him with a smile.

Instinctively protect the body: "Why are you here?"

"These water and herbs were all prepared by Grandpa Wu. ”

"Thank you. ”

"You're welcome, how are you feeling now?"

Although we are already lovers, we always feel that this kind of scene is a little embarrassing, so we can't help squatting down and sneering: "Little girl, wait for me to go out, okay?"

"Hehe, Brother Tang Yang is shy...... The face was red. Don't worry, I'll be responsible for you...... I went out first, and something called me. ”
