Chapter 12: Five Poisons
This is the first time he has felt this way.
The seller said: "Young master, if you like it, you can take it for only two thousand."
Two thousand dollars, this price is not cheap.
After thinking about it, Tang Jie said, "Can it be cheaper?"
The seller replied: "For the sake of buying my soul jade fragments before, I will give you two hundred dollars cheaper."
Tang Jie asked, "How about a thousand?"
The seller just shook his head, no matter how much Tang Jie bargained, he was only willing to give up to fifteen hundred at most.
One thousand five is also a big number for Tang Jie, the important thing is that he has no idea what is in the mirage stone. Seeing that the seller would not let go, Tang Jie thought about it, finally gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
He also wanted to see if his newly discovered insight into things could benefit him, so he asked Wei Tianchong for some more money to buy it.
Wei Tianchong was puzzled: "Why did you buy this thing?"
Tang Jie didn't hide it from him, so he revealed his guess about the object.
Hearing that there might be other secrets in this mirage stone, Wei Tianchong was also very excited.
The young man was in a hurry, so he couldn't care less about collecting materials at this moment, so the two directly found a corner where no one was around to study.
Only then did Wei Tianchong think of a question: "Tang Jie, you said there might be something inside, but how do you open it?"
Tang Jie smiled wryly: "How else can I open it? Of course I smashed it open."
Wei Tianchong was stunned: "No way. I just bought this for 1,500 spirits, just in case I make a mistake..."
Tang Jie said earnestly: "If you make a mistake, you will lose 1,500 yuan, or you can call it a gamble!"
That being said, Tang Jie himself had no idea.
Fifteen hundred dollars is not much, but it is one thing to use it up for cultivation, and another thing to throw it away. For those who have no gambling experience, winning or losing has always been more important.
So he took a long breath and said to himself: "It's okay, the big deal is a loss of fifteen thousand, anyway, it's the young master's money."
Wei Tianchong's face twitched: "Tang Jie, is there anyone who talks like that?"
Tang Jie laughed, and was about to smash down the stone, but stopped after thinking about it.
Wei Tianchong was puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Tang Jie pondered and said: "Actually, my luck has not been very good these years. When I was in Yeguyuan, I encountered horse bandits without any problems, and my family was ruined. I met someone who was kind to me, and eventually died. The first contribution task, Just ran into Luo Tianshen, and it turned out that the opportunity was not mine, but yours. After finally getting the true biography for you, Master Changfeng wanted to accept me as an apprentice, so I had to refuse in that way... There is a kind of God's will, I have not taken care of me very much in terms of luck, but your luck is often much better than mine."
Speaking of this, he stuffed the mirage stone into Wei Tianchong's hand and said, "You smash it."
"I..." Wei Tianchong's eyes popped out.
Tang Jie had already grabbed his hand, and fell hard to the ground.
Hearing a "pop", the mirage stone was shattered into pieces, Wei Tianchong shivered, and retracted his fat hand like lightning, but Tang Jie's gaze was fixed on the middle of the pile of rubble.
A small black bead was lying quietly among the gravel.
This bead looks very ordinary, black and small, but when Tang Jie's eyes fell on it, he felt a little palpitation for no reason.
When it was inside the mirage stone, Tang Jie couldn't see through it.
Now that it's out, Tang Jie still can't see through it.
Tang Jie stretched out his hand to pick up the bead, and a cold and gloomy feeling immediately spread across Tang Jie's body along his fingers. Tang Jie's body trembled, and he almost threw the bead out.
Surprisingly, the chill seemed to affect the depths of the soul and was not real, so it did not affect everything around him, at least Wei Tianchong beside Tang Jie didn't feel it at all.
But at that moment, Wei Tianchong pointed at Tang Jie as if he had seen a ghost, and tremblingly said: "You...you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Tang Jie asked in surprise.
"Your face..." Wei Tianchong said tremblingly, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Tang Jie's heart was moved, and he rushed to the pond not far away, looked into the water, and saw a thick black air on his face at some point. Shockingly, in the black air, Tang Jie's face was constantly contorted, making a painful and wailing expression, as if he was enduring the greatest pain in the world.
The problem is that Tang Jie obviously didn't do this.
"Damn it!" Tang Jie was also taken aback, and instinctively threw his hands away the beads.
The next moment Tang Jie's face reflected in the pond returned to normal.
Tang Jie touched his face to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then let out a long breath.
Looking back at the bead, Tang Jie couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This thing is so evil and weird, I'm afraid it's some kind of monster."
"Then what should we do now?" Seeing Tang Jie like this, Wei Tian didn't dare to touch the bead anymore.
Tang Jie took out a piece of cloth to wrap his hands, and tried to touch the bead, but the cold feeling only slightly eased. Tang Jie looked at Wei Tianchong, who had already said, "Here we go again!"
Could it be that even the cloth can't stop the invasion of the beads?
Tang Jie thought for a while, and said: "This black bead didn't happen in the mirage stone before, maybe the stone can stop its invasion."
Tang Jie didn't have a ready-made stone box in his hand, but luckily he still had Ruanxiangyu.
Ruanxiang jade is soft in texture, although it is a stone, it is like cotton.
Tang Jie took out a piece of nephrite jade, embedded the black bead into the nephrite jade, and kneaded the nephrite jade again, as if making glutinous rice balls, without any abnormality on the outside.
Sure enough, this time the black pearl did not show any chill.
After completing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Jie reminded Wei Tianchong: "It's best not to say anything about this."
Wei Tianchong nodded, this bead is so weird, he also knows that if it is exposed, it may cause big trouble.
After thinking about it, Wei Tianchong asked: "Then is it a profit or a loss now?"
Tang Jie smiled wryly: "I don't know either. I used to think that the most unlucky thing to do would be to lose 1,500 spirit coins. Now I just remembered that in addition to positive numbers and zero... there are also A concept called negative numbers."
Said to have moved forward.
Wei Tianchong couldn't understand at all, he rubbed his head and said to himself: "Auxiliary technique? There is a distinction between primary and secondary techniques? It's inexplicable."
Back in the secret city, the two continued to search for other materials.
When the sky was getting brighter and the secret city was over, Wei Tianchong had collected all the materials, and everyone left here.
Just after leaving Zhuangzi, he didn't walk very far, when he saw a person walking towards him, it was the short fat man who was called to be a toad by Wei Tian Chong before.
This person stared at Wei Tianchong, and said with a smile: "Boy, you finally came out."
As he said that, the short fat man shot two shots of green liquid at Tang Jie and Wei Tian.
Tang Jie raised his hand and slashed out a palm wind. Although the short fat man's venom was fierce, it had no penetrating power, and was scattered by Tang Jie's palm. Do you hold grudges till now?"
Humpty Humpty smiled ferociously: "If you dare to insult me, Wudu Sanren, you are courting death!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a poisonous scorpion flew out.
The poisonous scorpion was pitch black, about the size of a fist, with a black and shiny tail hook, flying in the air and stabbing at Tang Jie's neck.
Wei Tianchong Shimeng was about to make a move when Tang Jie said, "No, I'll do it. To humiliate you is to seek death? Do you think you are the child of destiny?"
The second half of the sentence was addressed to the Five Du Sanren.
At the same time, Tang Jie shot a vitality needle with his backhand, hitting the poisonous scorpion, but only heard a crisp sound of "Keng", he couldn't penetrate the scorpion, but just knocked it back.
At this time, they had just left the manor, and the crowd hadn't left yet. Seeing that there was a commotion, the people nearby all dispersed, only looked at them coldly, but no one came forward.
Some even ridiculed: "I don't know where the eldest young master is so ignorant that he provoked the five poisons. He is doomed now."
The scorpion over there whirled around in the air, and flew towards Tang Jie again. Tang Jie fired his vital energy needles repeatedly, making the scorpion hiss miserably, and he insisted on not giving it a chance to approach.
The Wudu Sanren saw it and sneered: "How dare you challenge grandpa with this little ability?"
As he spoke, he waved his robe, and another handful of poisonous insects came out.
Although the realm of the Five Poisons Sanren is only in the early stage of escape, but the poison is quite troublesome, and he is quite famous in the Shouwangchuan area. He was not like this at first, but because of improper handling of poison refining for a long time, he was covered with sores all over his body due to the backlash of poisonous gas. What he hates the most is when others call him a toad. Wei Tianchong touched his taboo, and he himself was narrow-minded, so he had to kill Wei Tianchong.
Seeing a large number of poisonous insects flying out, Tang Jie didn't panic, and while shaking them with the wind of his palm to keep them from approaching, he raised his voice and asked, "Is it possible that when you leave the secret city, no one cares about killing people?"
A group of people just watched without speaking.
That Wudu Sanren just thought he was afraid, laughed and said, "Let's see how long you can last!"
Although the turbulence of the palm wind can prevent the poisonous insects from approaching him, continuous consumption of spiritual energy is not a long-term solution. The Wudu Sanren grabbed the poison one after another, and his insects were flying everywhere in the sky. The originally obese body suddenly lost a lot of weight. I dare to believe that those poisonous insects are hidden in his body, and he is not fat.
Tang Jie didn't care so much, he just tilted his head: "It seems that no one cares."
As he said that, he stopped, ignoring those poisonous insects, and rushed towards Wudu Sanren. All the poisonous insects all over the sky landed on him at once, stinging at Tang Jie, everyone seemed to have seen Tang Jie's fate of being devoured by thousands of insects, but the next moment they saw a golden light flashing on Tang Jie's body, those The poisonous insect was directly bounced away, Tang Jie had rushed to Wudu Sanren's side, and punched him.
Wudu Sanren grinned grinningly and slapped backhand.
This palm is his favorite poisonous hand, even if someone else touches it even a little bit, they will be poisoned immediately, and they will be poisoned to death in just a moment, it is his favorite poison technique.
The fists and palms collided at this moment, and there was only a "boom", that Wudu Sanren had been blown away by Tang Jie's punch, and there was a crisp "pop", one arm of the Wudu Sanren had been broken.
This scene surprised everyone.
It's not surprising that Wudu Sanren was shocked back. This guy has been refining poison for many years, and he has already tossed his body out of shape, but he is also in the realm of transcendence, and it is not easy to break his arm with a punch.
Seeing that his arm was destroyed, the Wudu Sanren was shocked and angry, he didn't expect this kid to have such great strength, so he could only hold back his pain and shouted: "Stinky boy, you dare to palm against me, you are dead!"
"Really?" Tang Jie smiled and said, "How long does it take for your poison to kill a person?"
Wudu Sanren was taken aback, only to see Tang Jie spread his hands.
That hand was long and strong, and there was no sign of poisoning.
"How is it possible?" Wudu Sanren exclaimed in disbelief.
"Your Poison Skills are not good yet." Tang Jie said coldly, his figure flashed, he was already approaching the Wudu Sanren, and he punched him casually, hitting his lower abdomen, causing the Wudu Sanren to kneel immediately.
Tang Jie had already put his hand on the forehead of the Five Du Sanren, and the Wu Du Sanren yelled in horror: "Don't kill me!"
Tang Jie said coldly: "Actually, my young master is right...you are just a toad."
The strength of the palm was exhaled secretly, and the energy went straight into Wudu Sanren's brain, directly shocking the opponent to death.
