Chapter 4 Old Bark
"I didn't expect that one day I would finally open this box, this is a hoodoo full of blood and bones, if it weren't for this box, it wouldn't have been ...... at that time"
The old man's face was a little gloomy, there were tears faintly in his cloudy eyes, his body was trembling slightly, his fingers gently rubbed the purple wooden box, and sighed.
It wasn't until a long time that the old man calmed down, thought of the rumors of the year, and whispered to himself: "Is there really a divine object in it that can turn everything around?" They all say that this is a treasure, and how many storms and clouds it caused back then, in my opinion, it is a bad thing!"
The old man looked at the wooden box in his hand, his fingers were crystal clear, shooting out a trace of divine light, and he tried it with Dao power.
However, the wooden box did not move at all, neither exuding any aura nor showing any supernatural features.
This wooden box has an extraordinary origin, but it was exchanged for life and death, stained with blood, and has been placed in this shrine by the old man, and has never been opened until now.
This shrine was sealed by the old man, and no one was allowed to get close, not even Jiang Luo had ever entered, and not many people even knew about this place.
The old man has been reluctant to open it, this is a knot in his heart, and it has involved too many past events.
The old man looked at the wooden box in his hand with complicated eyes, and after being silent for a while, he gently opened the purple wooden box.
"Hmm, a layer of jade?"
A look of surprise appeared in the old man's eyes, and after the purple wooden box was opened, a layer of milky white jade was revealed, reflecting a bright luster, and wisps of white smoke floated up, looking like a fairy.
This is the legendary divine jade, but it is a real sacred object, many people have never seen it in their lives, but today they are fortunate to see it. ”
The old man was moved, and couldn't believe that this kind of thing was only in legends, invisible to ordinary people, and it was said that it could be cast into some terrible Taoist weapons.
Legend has it that some precious jades can grow their own smoke, and they are extremely precious, and they can be called divine jade.
The milky white divine jade in this wooden box, a thick layer, I am afraid that it can be the size of a fist, is extremely rare and valuable.
This time, the old man looked at this wooden box squarely, what could be preserved with priceless divine jade? It was definitely a rare artifact in the world.
The old man carefully opened the jade layer, and finally, in the old man's eyes full of anticipation, the contents were revealed.
"What the hell is this?dry bark?!"
The old man's eyes shone with a divine light, staring closely at the contents of the jade box, and the brilliance in his eyes suddenly turned into disbelief, and his face was stunned.
In the jade box, it is just a long line of things with a wide nail cover and a few inches long, black and paintless, without luster, like a small piece of bark, uneven and without any texture.
This thing can only be described as shriveled, rough, and black!
It's like something regrowing, and a piece of it is left behind, like the old bark of an old tree that has fallen off.
"What the hell is this? It's unheard of, unseen. ”
The old man was full of hope, but after seeing the contents of the jade box, he was a little speechless.
The so-called greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and this is the case with the old man Jiang Qingfeng at this time.
This is a rare jade in the world, how many people have seen it, and it was actually used to preserve such a piece of ghost thing that resembles the bark of an old tree!
No one will believe it!
The old man didn't believe it at first, but after the old man looked at it carefully, the more he realized that it was an old bark.
The old man was a man who had really embarked on the path of cultivation, he had seen a lot, he was not alone, and he had read many ancient books and knew many secrets that ordinary people did not know, but in his impression, he had never heard of a sacred object that resembled the bark of an old tree.
The main reason is that it's too ordinary, like a remnant of an old tree in the wilderness!
"Am I lonely and unheard? I don't know this dusty pearl?"
The old man muttered to himself, and finally carefully took out the layer of divine jade and kept it well, while the old bark was taken out and taken away by him.
In his opinion, what was precious was actually the fist-sized piece of divine jade, and as for this old bark, it was secondary.
Some of the elixirs in Lingshan Daze are generally refined into treasure liquids to maximize their medicinal properties, but this old bark doesn't know what it is, so there is no way to start.
"Can this be regarded as an elixir? Legend has it that this thing can live and die human flesh and bones, it is a divine object, and has the ability to mend the heavens, is this really the case?"
Old man Jiang Qingfeng thought a lot, this thing had set off a bloody storm in the vast mountains, attracting countless monks to fight, no one would have thought that it would eventually fall into his hands.
Eventually, the old man boiled the old bark into a bowl of liquid.
"Ahem, this thing is really a little unsightly, I don't know if Xiao Luo can accept it?"
The old man looked at the medicine bowl in front of him, and his old face turned red for a while, because this bowl of treasure liquid was really miserable and daunting.
I saw that the medicinal liquid in the bowl was terrifyingly black, a little blacker than the previous old bark, and it was light to use the word black to describe it.
The most terrifying thing is that it smells, which is simply earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, and gods and ghosts are all avoided!
Because it smells so bad, people can't stand it!
The old man avoided this bowl of 'treasure liquid' for a long time, five or six meters, but Rao was like this, and the terrible smell did not diminish in the slightest, as if it was everywhere.
The old man believes that its smell must be stinking for ten miles!
Jiang Luo went alone to the dilapidated martial arts arena in the village, where he watched some children in the village practicing hard, practicing boxing, exhaling his breath, and silently in a daze.
"Huhu, when I grow up, I want to be like Abba, dare to go into the vast mountains and hunt fierce beasts!"
A sturdy boy of fifteen or sixteen years old waved his fists, and he was vigorous and brave, and he played a set of punches.
His name is Jiang Mengzi, he is very tall and oppressive, and when he sees Jiang Luo out of the corner of his eye, he smiles honestly.
"Well, when I grow up, I don't want to just become a hunter, but I also want to really embark on the path of cultivation and become a powerful person like the Fourth Uncle Ancestor!"
Next to Jiang Mengzi, a young man named Ginger Skin Monkey said, looking in one direction with envy in his eyes.
There, an old man over eighty years old smiled kindly, and his body was strong, and there was no twilight color.
He is one of the few people in the village who has embarked on the path of cultivation, and although he is old, he is powerful and should not be underestimated.
He and the old man Jiang Qingfeng often came to the dilapidated martial arts arena to guide the children in the village to practice, and everyone respected them very much.
At this time, the fourth uncle looked at Jiang Luo, who was sitting on the edge of the martial arts arena, and smiled slightly, very kind.
"Hey, what is that, I will travel all over the mountains in the future, enter the spiritual mountain blessed land outside the vast mountains to practice, and glorify my ancestors!"
A young man puffed up his chest, he could have a fourteen-year-old, domineering Dao, his expression was agitated, his name was Jiang Gu, among the young generation in the deserted village, the cultivation path went the farthest, and it would not be long before he could raise the innate Dao spirit.
This is thanks to the cultivation method of Cai Xia and Qi taught by the old man Jiang Qingfeng, and he has practiced since he was a child, even in a place where there is a lack of spiritual energy like a deserted village, due to his amazing talent, he is gradually transforming, and he is about to cultivate an innate Dao spirit.
If he succeeds, he will become the first person of the younger generation in the deserted village to truly embark on the path of cultivation, and then he will be able to cultivate Dao techniques and become a powerful monk.
"Jiang Luo, are you okay? You can still survive the lightning strike, you are simply a legendary god!"
Jiang Gu walked over, extremely strong, heroic and powerful, patted Jiang Luo's shoulder affectionately, and laughed.
At the same time, Jiang Mengzi and Jiang Skin Monkey and other teenagers and girls also came over.
"It's been a month, and I finally see you recover, and it doesn't seem to be any serious. ”
Jiang Mengzi laughed, squeezed his eyebrows, and looked really violent, like a small mountain.
"It's okay, it looks like we're worried about you in vain. But you're really blessed with a great fortune, and this has long been spread in the village. ”
Everyone sat down on the stone pier, talking and laughing, all concerned about his body.
These are Jiang Luo's friends from childhood to adulthood, and when they saw that he was a little depressed, they all came to comfort him, which moved him in his heart.
"Yes, even if you can't practice, isn't it good to live in peace and happiness in a deserted village, a peaceful and warm village?"
Jiang Luo's heart was much more cheerful, and many things were figured out, and the knot in his heart that could not be cultivated was also quietly untied.
In the end, Jiang Luo completely let go, talked and laughed with everyone, and his mood was no longer low.
The sunset is falling, the sun is gradually setting, the sky is getting dark, and it is almost night.
Everyone parted in the martial arts arena, and Jiang Luo slowly walked back to his residence.
"Huh, what does that smell like, it's ...... It smells terrible!"
There was still a distance of more than ten meters from the residence, and Jiang Luo smelled a special smell, which made him cough violently, covered his mouth and nose, and quickly retreated, away from the pavilion where he lived!
"Xiao Luo, are you back? Come in, I'll boil you a bowl of 'treasure medicine'. ”
In the pavilion, the voice of the old man Jiang Qingfeng came, accompanied by bursts of coughing.
"Grandpa Jiang, what kind of soup is this, why does it taste weird, are you sure it's not poison?"
Jiang Luo was still coughing violently, even if he retreated far enough and covered his mouth and nose, it seemed that no matter how useful it was, it still made him choke.
In Jiang Luo's mind, a bowl of black and viscous 'treasure medicine' with countless insects and foreign objects floating in it suddenly appeared.
It's scary to think about!
"This is a peerless medicine, rare in the world, with unimaginable miraculous effects. Perhaps, you can break the taboo of the spiritless who cannot practice and make you embark on the path of cultivation again!" The old man's voice came from the pavilion, causing shocking waves in Jiang Luo's heart.
"Is it really possible to practice? I hope I won't be disappointed this time. ”
Even the rare heavenly method of lightning strike can't make him recover, can a bowl of 'treasure medicine' work?
Jiang Luo didn't have too many expectations, and forcibly endured the terrible smell of earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods, and walked into the pavilion.
"Grandpa Jiang, what is this made of?"
Jiang Luo saw the bowl of 'treasure medicine', which was really miserable, and couldn't help but ask.
"Uh, this...... I guess it's old bark. ”
The old man was hesitant, a little unsure, this answer made Jiang Luo's heart beat wildly, and he couldn't believe it, as if he was listening to a fantasy.
Old bark?
Jiang Luo looked at the old man Jiang Qingfeng with a suspicious expression, as if asking, what kind of bark has such a powerful effect, and it has the taste of this 'poison' sweeping the world?
The old man sneered, it was really difficult to explain, because who would have thought that what was preserved with priceless divine jade was actually just an old bark?
Jiang Luo looked at the pitch-black liquid in front of him, his scalp was numb, cold sweat flowed, his hair stood on end, his heart was pounding, and he was really reluctant to drink it and spoil his body.
"Is there really any hope that I will recover and embark on the path of cultivation again?"
In the end, Jiang Luo picked up the medicine bowl and made the last struggle under the old man Jiang Qingfeng's every request.
"I really didn't lie to you, this is a heaven and earth artifact, you must know the original ...... Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, its effect can be described in two words: 'mending the sky'!"
The old man's eyes were solemn, his expression was extremely serious, and he said.
Mending the sky?
Jiang Luo's heart jumped, he couldn't care so much, he raised the medicine bowl in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
"Well, ......"
The moment the 'Treasure Medicine' was entered, Jiang Luo was in disbelief and shouted.
