Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ambergris
"Sister!"
At the entrance of the Ice and Snow Begonia, Gu Yan faced the weak Wen Xiaotang and called softly. Then, unscrupulously took it tightly into his arms.
At this moment, Wen Xiaotang's heart, which had been wandering in the cold world for a long time, finally found a warm harbor, curled up in Gu Yan's broad arms, and tears could no longer be controlled.
After a long time, Wen Xiaotang broke free from Gu Yan's embrace, looked at Gu Yan quietly, and wanted to open his mouth to ask several times, but he didn't know where to start.
"Junior Gu Yan, meet the ancestor!"
Gu Yan knew what Wen Xiaotang wanted to ask, but he was afraid of arousing his pain, so he couldn't speak.
With Gu Yan's bow, Aunt Xue loomed in the dark.
"Child, just call me Aunt Xue, Xiaotang also calls me that!"
She was very pleased that Gu Yan was able to get out of the shadow of pain and her attitude towards Wen Xiaotang. From this moment, Aunt Xue completely accepted Gu Yan in the true sense.
"Aunt Xue, sister, I need items that can conceive and nourish the soul, I wonder if the Wen family has one?" Gu Yan asked.
"Pregnant and nourishing the spirit!"
"Pregnant with a spirit?"
Aunt Xue and Wen Xiaotang asked in unison, with doubts on their faces.
Suddenly, Wen Xiaotang seemed to understand something, and with excitement, he said, "She ......"
"Hmm!"
Gu Yan knew what Wen Xiaotang was referring to, nodded in confirmation, looked at Aunt Xue, and said: "The barbarian is the true body of the ancient holy beast Phantom Qilin, and later incarnated as a machine spirit, following the strong to fight, unfortunately defeated, and the spirit body was shattered. I have been sleeping in the darkness for eons of years, and I have been following me by chance, and you have seen only one-seventh of the barbarian spirits, and six have not been found......"
"No wonder her appearance, I feel palpitations, I see, I see, so ......"
Gu Yan's words completely shocked Aunt Xue, and she couldn't help but be at a loss.
As a strong man of the older generation, he had heard of the Qilin Holy Beast a little, but he really didn't expect to actually see it, so Aunt Xue's shock was not exaggerated, and anyone who had heard the rumors should know what a powerful existence it was.
"What do you mean...... Is the brute still alive?"
Regarding Xiaoman's current situation, Wen Xiaotang's concern is only afraid that it will not be less than Gu Yan's, and when he heard that Gu Yan needed items to conceive his soul, he faintly guessed something in his heart.
"I'm not sure, but I can feel a faint breath of her. ”
Gu Yan was telling the truth, in fact, even he himself was not sure whether the faint aura was Xiao Man's body or her residual breath.
"Yes!"
Wen Xiaotang said affirmatively.
After finishing speaking, Wen Xiaotang turned his head to look at Aunt Xue, "Aunt Xue!"
Hearing Wen Xiaotang's call, Aunt Xue was stunned and looked a little hesitant. But soon, he took out a delicate wooden box, and at a glance, he knew that this kind of wooden box was specially made. When opened, a slender object resembling a dragon's whisker was as warm as jade, exuding bursts of mild scent.
Gu Yan just glanced at it, and knew that this kind of thing contained a strong spirituality, and it was indeed an excellent quality for nurturing the divine soul, but Gu Yan was not sure whether this branch-like thing could play a certain role in the recovery of Xiaoman's divine soul.
After all, Xiao Man is the incarnation of an ancient holy beast, which is too rebellious for humans, and what seems good to ordinary people is difficult for her to work.
"This thing is called 'ambergris', and it has the miraculous effect of 'the flesh and bones of the living and the dead'. It's a pity that this is only one root of ambergris, if it is a whole ambergris, the effect is more than 10,000 times better!"
Aunt Xue introduced the miraculous effects of ambergris, thought for a while and continued: "Not only that, legend has it that a complete ambergris can not only give birth to divine consciousness, but the most precious effect lies in...... You can shape your soul!"
"Shaping a soul?"
Gu Yan's heart shook violently, if he could really shape his soul body, for Xiao Man, would it mean that he could be reborn? Such news could not help but make Gu Yan excited.
"Aunt Xue, can you tell the juniors, where is the ambergris?"
If it was an ordinary thing, Gu Yan would never ask brazenly, when it came to Xiaoman's rebirth, even if it cost a big price, Gu Yan would not hesitate to do it.
This root of ambergris has been kept by Aunt Xue for many years, which shows how precious it is in the minds of the Wen family. Gu Yan not only got the roots, but also started the idea of ambergris, this situation is indeed a bit suspicious of taking advantage of the fire!
However, when it comes to Xiaoman's rebirth, Gu Yan can't take care of it much.
Aunt Xue obviously guessed what Gu Yan was thinking, and hesitated again.
After a few breaths, Aunt Xue seemed to have made up her mind, and her expression revealed a faint sadness, and she said, "I'll tell you a story from a long time ago!"
Aunt Xue settled down, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes, and talked about the past that had been sealed in her heart for a long time, "I was thirty years old that year, and my husband was two years older than me. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Xue's face had a happy look, but this look turned into anger in the next moment, and even a little hideous, "That year, several genius boys and girls in our Falling Moon City met to break through one of the seven unique 'Piercing the World', and after we entered, we found that the most terrifying thing about Piercing the Heavens was not a strange beast, but cold. After nine deaths, we found two ambergris plants at the top of the world, one ripe and the other taking at least two hundred years to mature. ”
Judging from Wen Xiaotang's expression on the side, it was obviously the first time to hear Aunt Xue talk about this past, so including Gu Yan, she didn't interrupt Aunt Xue and listened carefully to what the other party said.
"At that time, we were all very excited, although we didn't know the specific effect of him, but judging from the unique smell of ambergris, it was a rare treasure. Several people agreed to pick a ripe ambergris first, keep it for one of them, and then agree on how to distribute it after they returned. As for the other ambergris plant, because it is not yet ripe, its efficacy is greatly reduced, and it is agreed that when it is ripe, the living people will come to pick it. It seemed that everyone was calm, however, each was wary of each other in their hearts, after all, the allure of ambergris was too great. In the end, it was unanimously agreed that the ambergris grass would be kept by my husband, because he was the only one of these people who had the lowest realm. Who would have thought ......"
At this moment, the anger on Aunt Xue's face intensified, but Gu Yan could see that in addition to anger, there was more of a sadness and heartache.
"Who would have thought that the husband who has lived with me for many years would hide his intentions and hide his realm, and among the few of us, he actually belongs to his highest realm. In the end, he failed to resist the temptation and wanted to swallow ambergris alone, and was besieged by everyone. Two fists are invincible to four hands, and seeing that he can't get out, he came up with a plan, and cleverly deceived me, saying that it was to swallow ambergris grass alone to cultivate our next generation. At that time, I was two months pregnant, and I believed his words and fought with him against everyone. As a result of my joining, the forces on both sides changed, and eventually we joined forces to subdue the others. And when he was showing me ambergris, he suddenly attacked me, and after severely wounding me, he fled with ambergris. It happened that the monarch of Jiuyang Kingdom was seriously ill and urgently needed elixir to continue his life, and the forces of the entire Jiuyang Kingdom were looking for rare treasures. One of us revealed to the royal family that my husband had obtained ambergris, and my husband was hunted down and killed by the whole world. In the end, he had to disfigure himself in front of me and disappeared without a trace. ”
Speaking of which, Gu Yan and Wen Xiaotang basically understood the general truth of the matter, and also understood why Aunt Xue was so sad and angry. The person closest to her betrayed her and hit her hard, who was several months pregnant at the time, both psychologically and emotionally, a huge trauma, and a double trauma.
Gu Yan thought that the story would end there, but unexpectedly, after Aunt Xue was silent for a while, she spoke again, "A few years later, I searched for my husband who was hiding in Tibet, and he gave me the root of ambergris. The person who betrayed my husband was appreciated by the royal family and became the city lord of Falling Moon City, and several other people who traveled with him have now become ancestor-level figures of major families. ”
Hearing this, Gu Yan has already understood the truth of the matter, and also understands that the group of men and women who traveled together through the world back then are the ancestors of today's major families. And the one who betrayed Aunt Xue's husband was Qiu Long, the ancestor of the Qiu family, who has now changed his name to Qiu Baolong.
Suddenly, Gu Yan's body was stunned, and his pupils contracted sharply.
From Aunt Xue's narration, Gu Yan got a few pieces of information, one is that there is still a complete ambergris grass at the end of the world, but I don't know if it is ripe now?
The second is that the insiders of this ambergris grass are still alive, and they are all strong deciders, so the attention to ambergris will definitely not be relaxed, it may have been picked, and it may be waiting for it to mature.
What puzzled Gu Yan the most was the third point, Aunt Xue said that her husband had personally disfigured his appearance, and for some reason, it reminded him of a person, a person who made him remember it, a ghost slave.
Legend has it that this man called the ghost slave made a huge breakthrough three hundred years ago by devouring a young man of the Guwu clan, and from this, it was rumored that the strength of the Guwu clan could be improved by devouring the bloodline of the Guwu clan, causing the catastrophe of the Guwu clan.
It's just that Aunt Xue's husband disfigured his appearance two hundred years ago, and there are some differences with the legendary ghost slave.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much about it, maybe it's just a coincidence!" Gu Yan comforted himself in his heart.
However, this kind of guessing planted a seed in his heart, which can never be erased, and he can only look forward to the day when he is really capable of facing the ghost slave, and then figure it out.
For now, the most important thing is to find out the whereabouts of the other ambergris first.
"Aunt Xue, I'm sorry! reminds you of a sad past. Gu Yan opened his mouth to apologize.
"Silly boy, it's been so long......"
Aunt Xue said it easily, but Gu Yan could see from her eyes that Aunt Xue still couldn't let go of this past, which shows that Aunt Xue's feelings for her husband were too deep back then, so she couldn't let go.
"That immature ambergris grass should be twenty years before it matures, and you must already know very well what you will face if you want to get this ambergris. ”
Aunt Xue gave Gu Yan the biggest doubt in his heart and reminded Gu Yan of the difficulties.
"Thank you, Aunt Xue!"
For Aunt Xue's reward for herself, Gu Yan felt that all the words seemed so pale and powerless, and he could only bow deeply to express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
"No matter how hard it is, I have to get ambergris, even if it's ten deaths!"
Facing this old and young, Gu Yan said his true thoughts from the bottom of his heart, and there was a determination in his eyes.
