Chapter 116, the soul of the four turns
Silently exhaled for a moment, and after calming his breath, Tang Gu withdrew his sword silk and looked down at the injury on his waist.
I saw that where the "ghost elder" Fei Yuqing was scratched by one claw, a large piece of skin and flesh had been rolled up, showing a charred black color, and blood was still flowing out of it.
Tang Gu gritted his teeth, reached out and tore it violently, tearing open one of his left sleeves, and then tied it to his waist forcefully, finally stopping the injury temporarily.
There are no other tools and medicine at the moment, so I can only deal with it so simply, and wait until I get back to the inn to re-bandage.
However, after this action, he touched his wound again, and the piercing pain made him hiss, and his teeth chattered. On his forehead, beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out.
Tang Gu smiled bitterly and said: "Careless, I didn't expect the other party to have such a strange technique, if it weren't for the fact that he lost his mind inexplicably at the last moment, today's battle, I'm afraid the result is really unpredictable!"
In his ears, there seemed to be the sound of rushing footsteps, Tang Gu was stunned, and then reacted instantly, just now the two of them fought, making such a big noise, I am afraid of attracting passers-by. If you are seen, even if there is no trouble, an explanation is inevitable.
Tang Gu didn't want to meet those ordinary people, so he lowered his head and quickly put away the things that fell on the ground, and then put them back into the package and put them in his arms.
Looking back at the alley behind him that had become a little riddled after this battle, Tang Gu didn't look back, turned around and left quickly.
A quarter of an hour later.
Tang Gu finally came to the small inn they had booked in the east of the city. He didn't want to alarm the water and snow, so he seized an opportunity to sneak into the inn when there were the fewest people, and then quietly touched his room.
But he didn't want to, Shui Xue was already waiting for him in his room.
Seeing his appearance, Shui Xue's tears suddenly became like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't help but flow down her cheeks, and Tang Gu couldn't help but smile helplessly.
He didn't have any treasures like storage bags, so he couldn't bring a change of clothes, even if he wanted to hide it. It's too late.
"It's fine. It's just a small injury, and it will be good for a few days, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
However, no matter how much he persuades. Shui Xue is still hard to hide his distress. Looked at. Tang Gu thought for a moment, walked to the table and wrote down a prescription: "Water girl, if you want my injuries to heal quickly." It's better to grab a few medicines for me from the Baicaoxing at the east gate of my city, I have an urgent need. ”
"Hmm. ”
Shui Xue thought that Tang Gu gave her a prescription to treat her injuries, so she didn't dare to slack off, and soon went out.
When she arrived at Baicaoxing, she was a little surprised, because on the prescription written by Tang Gu to her, there was no shortage of elixirs of four or five grades the day after tomorrow, especially a few of them, which were not like injury medicines, but like poisons.
For example, the "swallow red", "eclipse fruit" and other things...... It is also a poison of poison.
However, although she didn't understand Tang Gu's meaning, she didn't dare to slack off at Tang Gu's orders, and forcibly suppressed her doubts, so she still bought those herbs back one by one.
After returning to the inn, she handed the herbs to Tang Gu, and she quietly withdrew from the door, for fear of disturbing Tang Gu's healing efforts, and took the door with her.
Seeing her leave, Tang Gu smiled slightly, spread out all the herbs she bought back in front of the bed, then took out two of them, reached out to untie the sleeve of the shirt that had been bandaged just now, sprinkled a packet of wound medicine on his wound, and then bandaged it with a brand new white ribbon next to the bed, and left it alone.
Then, he cherished it and took out two things from his bosom.
These were two glittering fist-sized crystal balls, one of which was sealed with a triangular beast that looked like a phantom, and the other was sealed with a lifelike, fingernail-sized transparent golden insect.
It was the two fourth- and fifth-turn rare demon souls that he had purchased from the 'Demon City' and the 'Blue Dragon City Auction' respectively: the Phantom Sword Mantis and the Jizo Jiuyang Insect Demon Soul.
Tang Gu's injuries seem to be serious, but in fact, they are not serious, as long as they recuperate for a period of time, they can recover naturally.
Moreover, because he cultivated a special body refining technique such as the 'Innate Dragon Elephant Technique', his physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his recovery speed was naturally much faster than that of ordinary people, so there was no need to worry about it at all.
However, the real trouble is the trauma of his soul, which will take at least three or five months to recover slowly if there is no special method.
And there can't be any more damage along the way, otherwise it will last longer, and it will be difficult to keep growing until the soul power is completely healed.
And this, naturally, Tang Gu can't wait.
However, in addition to the normal recovery method, Tang Gu naturally had other methods.
That's ...... Cultivate the soul duel, and absorb the power of the demon soul through the soul duel to speed up the recovery of this injury.
And the two fourth-turn and fifth-turn rare demon souls he just purchased were naturally the most suitable, and they just killed two birds with one stone, officially breaking through the bottleneck of four turns and five turns of soul thoughts for him.
Tang Gu asked Shui Xue to buy him the herbs, except for two that really treated his body's external injuries, the rest were all needed to cultivate to the fourth and fifth turns of his soul.
After taking a deep breath, Tang Gu didn't hesitate anymore and closed his eyes.
He held out a hand.
Suddenly, a black ray of light was generated from his palm, and smoothly wrapped around the first crystal ball, and the crystal ball suddenly floated, radiating thousands of dazzling colored lights, and the phantom knife mantis demon soul sealed in it seemed to come to life.
A terrifying momentum that commanded the heavens and the earth and killed the ten directions took shape in Tang Gu's mind.
One after another, the mysterious aura melted into his heart, and then, silently disappeared, in the crystal ball, the aura of the phantom blade mantis began to get weaker and weaker, and finally returned to nothingness.
With a "snap", after the aura of the Phantom Mantis disappeared, the entire crystal ball seemed to run out of aura and shattered without warning. Shattered into one.
......
After more than an hour had passed, Tang Gu slowly opened his eyes and observed the injury, only to see that with this more than an hour of cultivation, the scorched wounds on his body had slowly begun to heal, and new muscles had grown.
The Yuan Breath that had been consumed in his body had also recovered as much as three or four percent, and at the same time, the slight pain and fatigue on his body after the battle just now had also been reduced.
And the change is most obvious. But it's his soul.
I saw that as he completely absorbed the four-turn rare demon soul 'Phantom Sword Mantis'. In the sea of souls above Tang Gu's head, the crimson soul crystal nucleus that was constantly rotating began to slowly transform into light green.
Once it completely becomes dark green, it means that his soul has been cultivated.
And the demon soul has been absorbed. The groundwork has been laid. Next. Just by boiling these elixirs in front of him into a medicinal soup and taking them, and continuing to strengthen and nourish the fourth-order souls that have already been cultivated, Tang Gu will be able to completely consolidate this realm. And they marched towards the five turns.
In the following time, he continued to close his eyes, nourishing and cultivating his soul power, and the soul body that had become very weak after being absorbed by the blood mist baby in the previous battle began to slowly grow strong again, and continued to emit bursts of joy and joy.
......
A day later, it was still in this inn, in Tanggu's room.
His injuries had finally recovered a little, and his face had regained a lot of blood, no longer so pale, and it seemed that it would not be long before he could fully recover.
But at the moment, he was not thinking about it.
Under the lamplight, his eyes were fixed on a small blue cloth bag placed in front of him, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes.
This blue cloth bag is the blue bag that fell out of his shirt by the "ghost elder" Fei Yuqing yesterday, and it is also the package he usually uses to hold precious items, which not only contains all his spiritual jade, stone coin savings, but also some more special things.
For example, the strange purple bone he got from the floating corpse on the sea, as well as the two volumes of green jade ancient books he obtained in the Nameless Stone Mansion, and the piece of red strange wood that he found in the cave guarded by the Five Flame Pythons, and so on......
However, what he was staring at at the moment was not those, but a strange, even somewhat eerie, hideous token.
It was the one that scared away the "ghost elder" Fei Yuqing and made him lose his mind and be severely injured by Tang Gu, with three drops of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Under the token, there are also three maple leaves, which are superimposed on top of each other, and the words "nineteen" are engraved next to them.
At the last moment, why was the ghost old man suddenly so surprised? And when he saw this thing, it was like seeing a ghost, so he also shouted the four-character name of "Red Leaf Ghost Card"?
Could it be that the real name of this thing is called "Red Leaf Ghost Card"? Why would the "ghost elder" know this thing, does he know the owner of the nameless cave mansion?
But if you think about it, it doesn't look like it, that nameless cave has obviously existed for some years, and the ghost old man is only sixty or seventy years old at most, and the two are not in the same era at all, so it may be inappropriate to say that the two know each other.
So...... Perhaps, what he knew was simply what this token meant. In other words, there must be more than one such token. What is represented may not be a person, but a kind of force, a kind of organization.
Tang Gu's palm slowly stroked over this crimson token, and a layer of fine tremors appeared in the palms of his tentacles, cold and gloomy, Tang Gu took his hand away and fell into contemplation again.
This token is deliberately made so eeriely, and this power must not be a good person.
"Forget it......"
Shaking his head, Tang Gu didn't know the essentials for a while, so he had to give up, no matter what this token represented, it didn't have much to do with him, at most, when he met it again in the future, pay attention to one or two, maybe he could find out the origin of the name of the owner of the nameless stone mansion.
In addition, he doesn't have to pay too much attention to it, it is important to recuperate with peace of mind. Next, two days later, I will go to Xinglin Villa to participate in the initiation ceremony, don't slack off.
was thinking carefully, "Bang, Bang, Bang......", outside the door, Shui Xue happened to be knocking on the door.
Tang Gu waved his hand, put away everything on the bed, and then withdrew it into his arms again, then got up and got out of bed, put on his shoes, and opened the door, just to reveal Shui Xue's flower-like and snow-like and delicate face.
She also held a tray in her hand, and in the middle of the tray was upright, and a bowl of fragrant green medicinal porridge was placed. (To be continued......)
