Chapter 9: The Treasure
But it was said that Wang Changsheng and the owner of the ship went to the cabin together, and Wang Changsheng asked the owner: "I wonder if our ship will stop halfway?"
The owner replied: "Although it will take more than ten days to reach the destination, a large ship like ours will not stop if it is sufficient." If the strong man needs it, we can stop the ship at any time. โ
Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "At that time, there will be a labor ship owner." โ
The owner waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. I look at the appearance of a strong man, I should be a few years younger than me, I am surnamed Wu, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Brother Wu. โ
Wang Changsheng said: "It is already a bit disrespectful to call you 'Brother Wu' by the age of the shipowner, not to mention that I haven't thanked you for what happened just now, where are there any disgusting words." My surname is Feiyu, and my brother can call me 'Feiyu'. โ
The two of them walked and talked for a short time before they came to a room in the cabin. The room was a single room and very small, but Wang Changsheng knew that not everyone could live on the ship. After chatting a few words, the owner of the ship said goodbye, Wang Changsheng was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, so he didn't want to stay, but Wang Changsheng saw that the owner of the ship was a little hesitant to leave, as if he had something to say. So he stopped the owner of the boat and took out a silver ticket of ten taels from his bosom and handed it over.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the ship didn't look at it, waved his hand and refused: "I can't ask for the money I got in exchange for the barbarian's head." It's the same as in the past, and I won't make this kind of money. โ
Wang Changsheng saw that the owner of the ship was very resolute and really had no intention of accepting it, so he took it back, and praised it: "My brother is really a righteous person." โ
The shipowner replied: "There is no danger in what I have done, and it is nothing compared to your bloody battle. Speaking of this, the shipowner glanced at Wang Changsheng is deep look, and said: "I see that Brother Feiyu's complexion is not good, as if it is caused by injury. I don't know if Brother Feiyu has a recurrence of an old injury. โ
Wang Changsheng didn't hide it, nodded and replied, "I didn't expect that my brother is still proficient in medical skills." โ
The owner of the ship replied: "Oh, what kind of medical skills I am proficient in there, but my brother's breath is too vain, and I am afraid that he has already injured the origin." Mo said that I have indeed read a few medical books, and it is not difficult for ordinary people to see it. In my opinion, if it is not handled properly, it will leave the root of the disease or a trivial matter, but I am afraid that it will damage the longevity. โ
Wang Changsheng looked at it and replied: "Brother doesn't know, it's a great luck that I can survive with this special injury." โ
The shipowner pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I see that my brother's face should be a great loss of qi and blood, so it is not easy to return to the source without external help." But I have something that should be of great benefit to you, and my brother can wait here for a while, and he will come when he goes. โ
Only then did Wang Changsheng understand that the shipowner's previous hesitation should be here, and felt that the shipowner should go to get some more precious medicines. Wang Changsheng knew that his injuries were caused by witchcraft, and he didn't want ordinary pills to be of great benefit. However, it could not be tempered by the fervent heart of the shipowner, so there was no objection. "Erten is worthy of being born in the Great Meng Wolf Valley, and his cultivation is indeed not an ordinary martial artist. After the owner of the ship left, Wang Changsheng exclaimed and immediately began to heal his injuries.
However, it was said that Wang Changsheng had not been meditating in bed for a long time, and the owner surnamed Wu came back secretly and looked around. Wang Changsheng felt a little strange when he saw the shipowner's behavior that was not commensurate with his person. At this time, the shipowner carefully closed the door and greeted Wang Changsheng softly.
Only then did Wang Changsheng get up and step forward to meet him, only to see the ship's owner take out a wooden box about one palm wide and two palms long from under his coat. The owner of the ship said as he opened the wax-sealed wooden box, "Brother Feiyu, do you recognize this?"
Wang Changsheng looked at the things in the box again, it turned out to be half a ginseng, but this ginseng was really too thick and several times that of ordinary things, so Wang Changsheng was a little unsure. The owner of the ship glanced at Wang Changsheng and said, "Brother Feiyu, although this thing is similar to ginseng, it is not the same thing, this thing is the name 'Immortal Ginseng' passed down by my ancestors. The ancestors said that this thing was given by the immortals, and it has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, replenishing the qi and benefiting the body. I dare not say that it can cure all diseases, but general diseases are not a problem. What's even more strange is that no matter how serious the injury is, as long as there is one breath left, take a tablet and put it in your mouth to hang for seven days. It's just that after all these years, only half a tree remains. This substance should be of great benefit to Brother Feiyu, but the medicinal properties of this substance are very strong and cannot be taken too much, and you can only hold a piece of the thickness of your fingernail in your mouth each time and slowly absorb it. In fact, I don't need to say much about the subtleties, my brother will try it himself later. โ
Wang Changsheng nodded after hearing this and said: "Now I am a little lacking in qi and blood, this thing has the effect of consolidating the foundation and replenishing qi, but it is just right to use, so I don't shirk it, I really accept the kindness of my brother." With that, he cut off a slice and put the rest back in the crate and returned it to the owner.
Strangely, the owner of the ship refused to accept it, but said, "The rest will be given to my brother together." โ
Where was Wang Changsheng willing to really accept it, who knew that the shipowner was already determined to persuade him again and again. Wang Changsheng noticed that the governor was strange, and he didn't hide it and asked clearly.
Then the owner of the ship said: "Don't hide it from my brother, my ancestor left a precept: 'This thing should not be shown to anyone with a foreign surname, and once it is known to outsiders, it must be given in full.'" โ
When the shipowner said this, Wang Changsheng understood the shipowner's abnormal behavior. It turned out that the owner of the ship surnamed Wu felt that his wealth had been exposed, so as not to cause external disasters.
Wang Changsheng resolutely handed the wooden box back to the shipowner's hand and said, "Brother Wu don't worry. There are all kinds of people in the world, but not all of them are ungrateful people who revolt for the sake of wealth. โ
Wang Changsheng spoke very calmly, and he didn't swear at all. For some reason, the owner of the ship felt that it was very credible, so the owner of the ship was a little ashamed. Wang Changsheng saw the shipowner's state of mind, so he continued: "Brother doesn't need to think about it, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. I think my brother has concerns, but he is still willing to take out the immortal ginseng, which is even more commendable. โ
The ship's owner sighed lightly and said with even more shame: "A person like me who wants to do good but is cautious and worried about the coming disaster should not be praised by Brother Feiyu. In fact, I have also heard the words that 'those who accumulate goodness must have afterglow', but I am really afraid that my brother has suffered losses in this regard, so this is ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
After the owner left, Wang Changsheng carefully looked at the piece of immortal ginseng, but he didn't see anything unusual. The blood-red ball that Erten punched was wreaking havoc in his body, and Wang Changsheng didn't delay any longer, and according to the shipowner's words, he put the immortal ginseng in his mouth to heal his injuries. At first, I only felt a slight sweetness in my mouth, but after a while, it had an amazing effect. Wang Changsheng only felt that there was a stir in his mouth, and streams of warm liquid continued to flow into his abdomen, turning into strange energy. Replenish the body's losses, replenish the body's needs, warm the five internal organs and nourish the six internal organs, consolidate the foundation and increase the qi and blood.
Other benefits can not be mentioned, but the miraculous effect of increasing qi and blood has to be said. Wang Changsheng originally had a serious loss of essence and blood, and a small piece of immortal ginseng not only made up for the loss of his body, but also continuously produced essence and blood to block the blood-colored balls that Erten entered. By the time the immortal ginseng in Wang Changsheng's mouth dried up and lost its medicinal effect, the blood-colored ball had been exhausted. Wang Changsheng opened his eyes, he was already wet with sweat, but he was indescribably comfortable. With this miraculous effect, Wang Changsheng felt that most of the words of the ship's owner that this thing was a gift from the immortals were true. It is only something that is also in the cultivation world that can have such a miraculous effect on the injuries caused by the cultivator.
For five days in a row, Wang Changsheng and the crew told some stories of the battle, including the deeds of the bull riding the fierce general who killed the four tigers of Dameng, and the story of the Confucian warrior who took the head of the horse himself. The rest of the time, Wang Changsheng spent the rest of his time recuperating in the cabin, and finally eliminated the evil.
Though the evil is removed, if the matter of Erten is not resolved, it will be like a day when thorns are on the back, and there is no peace. Erteng must be fighting with himself endlessly, if you want to feel at ease, you must get rid of Erten, Wang Changsheng has already made up his mind. In the past, Wang Changsheng would never make such a reckless decision without any certainty. The reason for this is that Wang Changsheng is worried that Erten will become the second Wendao, and he will involve innocent people like Wendao.
In fact, if you talk about martial arts alone, it is the joint force of Erten and the steppe wolf, and it is by no means Wang Changsheng's opponent. It's just that Erten's ability to hurt people in the air is too powerful, not only faster than the arrow feather, but also extremely powerful, and can penetrate the knife without exhaustion. Erten has this thaumaturgical body, and it is difficult to fight with him, let alone kill him, and get out of it with his whole body.
Fortunately, judging from the situation of the last battle, Erten not only could not use this method endlessly, but also paid a lot of price for casting it. In order to have a chance to kill Erten, you must at least be able to dodge or defend against one of Erten's attacks. After thinking about it, Wang Changsheng remembered one thing, that is, the book "Records of Extravagant Spiritual Objects" purchased from the "Yiye Bookstore". Thinking about it, Wang Changsheng bought this book because it was extremely tough and could not be damaged at all.
When it comes to life and death, we must think about it in the long term and increase the chances of victory as much as possible. Therefore, even if the "Record of Extraordinary Spirits" can indeed block Erten's blow, Wang Changsheng will never be reckless to go to Erteng for a decisive battle. Competing with the enemy, not thinking about winning, thinking about protecting oneself first, this is Wang Changsheng's consistent thought.
Because Ertensheng is tall and strong and Wang Changsheng is good at internal strength, Wang Changsheng feels that if he fights on the terrain with low soil carrying capacity, Erteng will inevitably be greatly limited. In addition, if the situation is unfavorable, the possibility of escaping again can be increased. After some thought, Wang Changsheng felt that many swampy wetlands born from the slow flow of water in the lower reaches of the river could be used. Marshland soils have a weak carrying capacity, and as long as the water in the swamp is waist-deep, steppe wolves are limited in their movements. Wang Changsheng then decided to ambush Erten in the swamp downstream.
A few days later, Wang Changsheng said goodbye to everyone on the ship and came alone to a desolate swamp downstream. As for when Erten will catch up, Wang Changsheng doesn't know. However, as for whether Erten can track down here, Wang Changsheng's answer is yes, it's just the length of time. The time before Erteng arrived was very precious, and Wang Changsheng had to hurry up and prepare.
After all, I don't know if Wang Changsheng's plan can succeed, and let's see the next decomposition.
