Chapter 35: Zhong Wuji

Capturing a hint of panic in He Ding's eyes, Zhong Wuji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know you must have a lot of little secrets, but unless you say it yourself, I won't ask you too much." Niu Qishan is not very interested in other people's past, as long as he joins Niu Qishan, he is a person from Niu Qishan. ”

"You see, although I'm a human being, I'm not a good person in Niu Qishan?" Zhong Wuji said.

He Ding nodded, relieved, if this Zhong forcibly interrogated him indefinitely, He Ding would not be able to do anything. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Elder Zhong, I want to ask how many floors I finally climbed on the Qi Road that day?"

"Don't you know it yourself?" Zhong Wuji asked rhetorically.

"At that time, I was already confused, and my eyes couldn't see the road ahead, so I just walked forward vigorously, not paying attention to how many floors I had climbed. He Ding touched the back of his head, and now he still has some swelling pain when he recalls the situation that day, and there are only some sporadic memories left in his mind.

Zhong Wuji smiled and said, "Do you know that you broke the record of dragon glass?"

He Ding was stunned, rolled his eyes, and said, "It seems to be ...... Remember. ”

"Then did you know that you have set a record that no one can break?" Zhong Wuzhi continued to ask.

"Huh, no one can break it, how many layers is that?" He Ding was stunned.

"Ninety-nine floors. ”

"Ninety-nine floors?!" He Ding almost jumped out of bed.

Zhong Wuzhi is right, this is indeed an unbreakable record, how can it be broken? Climb a hundred floors? Impossible. Kui Niu Ancestor has said that the person who can climb the hundred floors has not yet been born.

But He Ding never thought he could climb so high.

"Now the whole Niu Qishan is discussing you and Long Li. Zhong Wuji said.

"It's a problem. He Ding had a headache, he originally just wanted to challenge his limits, but who knew that he couldn't hold it back when he walked to the back. Now it's okay, it's become the focus of the entire Niuqi Mountain, and you can't be obscure if you want to.

"Well, now that you're healed, my job is done. Zhong Wuji walked up to Long Li, felt his pulse on his arm, and said, "This kid should be fine." You can cultivate here for the next two days, and after three days, all those who have passed the trial of entering the mountain will go to the Sansheng Cave to participate, and then I will lead the two of you there. ”

"What are you going to do in Sansheng Cave?" He Ding asked.

"Now that I have joined Niuqishan, I naturally have to explain some things. Zhong Wuqi explained, "All those who pass the trial of entering the mountain, Niu Qishan will also give some rewards, and then you will understand." ”

He Ding nodded.

"Sit down for a while, and I'll boil you a bucket of hot water." Zhong Wuji said, and then wanted to turn around and leave.

"Ah, what are you doing with hot water?" He Ding was stunned again.

"Look at yourself, I guess I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and you're not a wild man, you always have to take care of yourself, right?" Zhong Wuji stretched out his hand and pointed at He Ding's face.

He Ding subconsciously grabbed his hair, and smelled the smell of his body, and a somewhat pungent sour smell came. He remembered that he hadn't bathed or groomed his hair in over a year, and now he probably looked unkempt, and should be compared to a wild man.

It's really time to take a shower.

"That's troublesome Elder Zhong. He Ding smiled awkwardly.

Zhong Wuzhi also smiled back and said, "You don't have to be so polite, since you have entered Niuqi Mountain, you are a family." Then he turned and left the room.

He Ding sat down on the bed.

Although he had only been in contact with Zhong Wuji for a while, this gentle-looking, white middle-aged man had already left a good impression on He Ding. But the only thing that makes He Ding a little strange is that this man's peace is due to his nature, or is he pretending to be something else because he knows the secret on his body?

After all, when you're away from home, it's always good to be careful and don't trust others 100%.

About half an hour later, Zhong Wuji's voice sounded outside the door.

"When the water is boiled, come out. ”

"Good. He Ding answered and walked out of the room.

When you go out, you will find the main house, the door of which is closed, and a large bucket of hot water is placed in the center, and the heat rises in the middle. Zhong Wuqi stood on the side, handed a towel to He Ding, and said, "You can wash it first, and call me when you finish washing." Oh yes, you're pretty much washed, remember to eat this. ”

Zhong Wuzhi took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and placed it on the table beside him.

"What is this?" He Ding asked.

"Don't worry, this is eating something that is good for your body. ”

He Ding nodded, and after Zhong Wuji left, he quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the barrel with a plop, splashing one after another.

The water level is just below the chest, the water temperature is just right, a little hot but not unbearable, and it is best to take a bath.

"Wow, that's cool. He Ding closed his eyes and groaned, after all, he hadn't taken a bath for a year.

He Ding scrubbed his whole body with a towel, and pieces of dirt were rubbed off and fell into the water. He then soaked his hair to wash away the oil stains from it. Gradually, the water became muddy, and a faint shine and dirt floated on the surface.

"I didn't expect me to be so dirty now. He Ding said with emotion.

When the dirt on his body was almost cleaned up, He Ding suddenly remembered what Zhong Wuqi said earlier. So he stretched out his hand, took the wooden box on the table in his hand, opened it, and saw that there was a black pill inside.

The black elixir was about the size of his fingernails, faintly radiating brilliance, and it didn't look mortal.

"What is this?" He Ding picked up the pill and observed it carefully.

He Ding pinched and smelled again, and he didn't come up with a reason, and said: "Anyway, this shouldn't be poison, if that guy Zhong Wuji wants to harm me, can I still live until now?" So he threw the pill into his mouth, tilted his head, and slid down his throat.

The black pill was a little cold, and it didn't have any taste, and after eating it for a while, He Ding didn't feel anything unusual.

After a while, the water seemed to become warmer, and He Ding's forehead began to sweat, and he muttered strangely, "Why is this water getting hotter and hotter the more you soak it?"

After a while, He Ding suddenly realized that it was not the water temperature that had risen, but his body temperature gradually rising. He Ding's whole body was turning red at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and he suddenly felt every bone meridian in his body begin to itch.

It's like being bitten by an ant.

"What's going on?!" He Ding exclaimed, and he felt his face burn as if it were on fire. The whole body is like being bitten by ten thousand ants, and it is extremely itchy.

It must be the problem with the black elixir, He Ding thought.

Zhong Wuji, who heard the voice, walked out, pressed on the shoulder of He Ding, who was rolling in the water, and said, "Don't move, bear it, this is a normal situation, just endure it and it will pass." ”

He Ding gritted his teeth and nodded, forcing himself to calm down.

At this moment, He Ding's body was as red as fire, and he clearly felt every pore on his skin stretching and opening. He Ding saw that the surface of his skin began to slowly flow out of a pale black liquid, and exclaimed in pain, "What is this?"

"Don't be afraid, it's the impurities that have accumulated in your body, and now you are gradually excreting them from your body. Zhong Wuji said.

The black liquid was like tar, gurgling out of the pores, dripping into the water and dissolving at once, and the whole bucket of water slowly turned black.

It's not just the skin, the nostrils, the ears, and the eyes that have this slightly smelly fluid coming out.

However, the ant-biting itch gradually subsided, and was replaced by a sense of relief that the body had never felt before.

It's like a rebirth.

He Ding closed his eyes and began to enjoy the comfortable process, but heard an exclamation from behind him.

"Wow! There's smoke coming out of his head!"

He looked back, Long Li didn't know when he woke up, standing at the door, pointing to the top of He Ding's white head, his mouth was wide open, and his face was shocked. He Ding looked down at his arm and found that it was also slowly rising white qi.

"Don't be afraid, it's normal. Zhong Wuji explained calmly.
