Chapter 13: Soul Nourishing Grass
The boy wanted to refuse, but I didn't know what came to mind and agreed, and I didn't pay close attention to it.
We went back the way we came, and stopped not far from the place where we had robbed the treasure before, and after looking at it for a while, we found that those who were no longer fighting, and seemed to be injured and meditating on the spot, and I thought about it and asked the boy to take me the other way. It's not just this path that leads to the Soul Nourishing Grass, it's just that it's slightly safer.
"Why are there so many thorns here?" I gasped, rubbing my thorn-scratched arm.
"The road used to be a small swamp, but now it seems to have changed for some unknown reason. The young man saw that I had stepped on that place and did not sink, and after a moment of silence, he said.
"You say this is a swamp?" I tentatively stepped on it, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Yes, there used to be a creature in the swamp that sucked human blood, which was supposed to be dangerous, but now it's just these little trees. The boy's tone seemed to say that I was lucky not to run into it.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, but now it's not too late?"
"Aren't you all right? ”
"I feel like you wish something had happened to me. ”
"Isn't there something wrong with you? ”
"Look at it. I was a little angry and raised my arm to show the wounds, "Does this seem like nothing? Is this called nothing?"
"Isn't it just a small wound, as for being so fierce. The boy looked at me hesitantly.
"That is, what do you know as a soul body, and you can't feel pain even if I told you, it's like playing the piano to a cow. I didn't want to talk to him any longer, so I looked at him irritably.
"You ....."
"Let's go, it's too late for the soul grass to run away. At this time, Fusheng came out of the jade pendant, glanced at me and the young man, and said.
After she said this, I instantly remembered what I was doing, glanced at the young man, and snorted coldly at him.
In a short time, we walked out of the thorn bush, I rubbed my whole body, I took a breath from time to time in pain, and the large and small wounds on my body were bleeding, the young man didn't say anything when he saw it, only raised his hand slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the scratches on my hand healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, I looked a little surprised, and wanted to ask something, but when I thought that he had made me suffer this sin, I couldn't help but want to blurt out the words that I swallowed back to my throat.
The grass was green in front of me, and after looking at it, I didn't find the so-called soul nourishing grass, so I asked Fusheng: "Which one is the soul nourishing grass?"
Fusheng looked at the boy and found that he didn't want to answer, so he said to me: "I'm afraid these are just ordinary grasses, and the soul nourishing grass may have transformed into one of these plants, and I don't know how to find it." ”
"So, I'm afraid I won't find anything?"
"So to speak. ”
"Is there no other way?"
"I'm afraid not. Fusheng thought for a moment and shook his head at me, "Unless it wants to show up on its own." ”
"What then?" I was a little anxious, after all, this thing was useful to the Taoist priest.
"Since it's useless, then burn it. "Half a day, I thought about it, this is the only way to go, anyway, if the fire burns, they will grow again next year.
Fusheng looked at me in surprise, but agreed without saying anything.
"I don't have the tools to light the fire, though. I spread my hands to show my helplessness.
Fusheng was a little speechless, and the young man looked at me with abnormal eyes for a while, and I glared back at him.
"Fusheng, can you light a fire?" There was no choice but to ask for help from Fusheng.
I saw that she moved her fingers, and a small fire appeared on her fingertips, and my eyes flickered, and then her hand waved towards the pile of grass, and in a short time the grass on the ground was on fire, but there was no movement.
"It can't be that it's not here, is it?" I looked at Fusheng hesitantly, but she seemed to be very patient, the fire almost burned all the grass, and there was no movement, and she was about to give up, when she suddenly heard, "Oops, oops, it hurts me." ”
I turned my head to look around and saw that there was no one else, where did this sound come from? Fusheng looked at a certain place and smiled, I looked at that place, how to say, a grass was jumping in a very strange way, not so much jumping as rolling, like a human being fighting the fire on his body, but it could not be extinguished.
"Oops, hey, what kind of fire is this, how can it not be extinguished?"
"It burned me, it hurts. ”
"My beard. ”
"Help, kill people, set fires. ”
I saw the grass jumping up and down, left and right, and the mouth was broken, and listening to the immature voice seemed to be only a 5 or 6-year-old child.
"Pounce", the grass seemed to be unbearable, jumped into the stream not far away, and when it came out, the fire on its body was still not extinguished, it was a little depressed, and reluctantly walked towards us step by step, and when it saw the floating life, there was a trace of disbelief in its eyes.
"You're the one who burned the fire?" it said again, looking at the floating life, "you put out the fire on me." ”
"Why?" asked Fusheng, hooking the corners of his mouth.
"Of course you put out the fire. "The grass is what it should be.
"You see I set the fire?"
"No, but there are fluctuations in your spiritual power on that fire, who will you be?" it glanced at me next to Fusheng and frowned.
"If you don't see it, you don't see it. ”
"Why are you like this..."Just as it was angry and wanted to refute something, it suddenly looked around and looked a little nervous, hesitated for a while and then drilled into my jade pendant, I was frightened by this meeting, what happened? disappeared before saying anything? What is the situation?
"Mo Huan, someone is here, it's the old man from before. Be careful yourself. With that, he entered the jade, and the boy disappeared with it.
I haven't said anything yet, I don't know what's going on, why I'm suddenly gone? Wait, that old man who Fusheng said? I secretly complained in my heart, don't be those old men, don't be so unlucky. I was thinking about where to hide, and as soon as I found a tree to go into, I felt a few strong breaths, and immediately held my breath, listening to the sound from far to in, cold sweat broke out on my body, thinking that my life might be lost here.
"I obviously felt an aura just now, why did it suddenly disappear?"
"Are you sure? Why didn't I feel it?"
"Strange, could it be that I felt wrong? ”
Listening to the voice, I was sure that it was the old man I had met before, and I couldn't help but gasp when I was done.
"Who's there?"
Seeing that the footsteps were less than a meter away from me, I simply closed my eyes and gambled, and lay down on the ground pretending to be dizzy.
