Rules of Heaven - C81
After entering the cloud, the scenery changed. Many herb gardens appeared out of nowhere in the surroundings, and Ding Hong recognized most of them.
Seeing his expression, Doctor Xie could not help but ask, “Could it be that you’ve seen these medicinal herbs before?”
Ding Hong smiled and said, “Of course.”
Doctor Xie carelessly pointed to a purplish-green herb next to him and asked, “What is this?”
The herb was purplish-green in color. Ding Hong recalled what the old woman had told him and said, “Purple Firefly Grass specializes in treating internal injuries caused by true energy, and is often born in the plains.”
Doctor Xie was stunned for a moment before he stopped and asked, “How did you know about this?”
Ding Hong said honestly, “I once learned it at Penglai.”
Hearing that, Doctor Xie jumped up excitedly and shouted, “Old Lady Qi!”
Seeing him so excited, Ling Wu’er could not help but shout: “Grandfather, what are you doing!?” Look, even the herbs behind us have been trampled to pieces! ”
“What!” Doctor Xie let out a scream and quickly got up. He painfully helped the herbs that he stepped on up. His face was filled with pain and he looked like his parents were dead.
However, when Doctor Xie heard Ding Hong say that he learned these things in Penglai, he could actually say the old woman out loud. He was afraid that the two of them were entangled.
After Doctor Xie sorted out the herbs, he sighed and stood up. He asked Ding Hong, “Is she doing well?”
Ding Hong shouted in his heart: There’s an adultery! However, he still calmly replied, “Grandma Qi is very good.”
Doctor Xie coughed dryly and nodded his head, no longer asking questions. He brought him and Suo Bing to a mountain peak. Looking down, he was able to see the surrounding terrain clearly. Over there was an extremely exquisite stone tower. That’s right, it was a stone tower, a building that was entirely carved out of stone. After reaching this point, Ling Wu’er became extremely excited. She rubbed her hands together, as if fighting a huge battle here was the best choice.
Seeing him, Ding Hong could not help but cough dryly.
Ling Wu’er said, “Hmph, it’d be weird if I didn’t teach you a lesson!”
Su Bing frowned: “Little girl, didn’t you already explain it clearly? Why are you still pestering me like this? ”
Ling Wu’er craftily smiled and glanced at her grandfather, saying: “I’ll come look for you guys again in a while.” With that, he shook his head and left.
Doctor Xie glanced at Ling Wu’er, who had left, then led the way in, sitting inside. Ding Hong did not say anything and followed in.
Doctor Xie said: “Brat, I won’t beat around the bush. I didn’t save you life for nothing today, do you understand?”
Ding Hong nodded and said, “Of course.”
Doctor Xie laughed, “What a clever child. How are you going to thank me?”
Ding Hong then asked, “Then Demon Marshall, how do you want me to repay you?”
The smile on Doctor Xie’s face became even brighter. “I have a relative who lost them in the Western Wilderness, but the barbarians from the Wilderness can’t see people with spiritual force fluctuations.”
Ding Hong’s eyelids twitched as he said, “Demon Lord, you want…?”
Du Xie stood up and walked to Ding Hong’s side, smiling as he patted his shoulder and said, “Such a clever child, are you willing?”
Ding Hong frowned, “Honored Devil Lord, your cultivation is sky-high. Even if that barbarian over there cannot meet you, what can he do? Could it be that you are afraid of them? ”
Doctor Xie laughed and said, “The barbarians on the west side are nothing much. However, the Great Black God that they worship day and night has some background.”
“Great Black God?” Ding Hong had never heard of this name before.
Doctor Xie nodded and said, “That’s right.” He thought for a moment, and added, “The barbarians of the west say that there are a lot of people, and I think that there are hundreds of thousands of people. Almost all of them regard the Great Black Profound God as a symbol in their hearts, to the extent that the Great Black Profound God is able to absorb the energy of the people, and he is actually alive! However, the Great Black Mystery God hates people who have spiritual energy fluctuations within their bodies. The moment it discovers them, it will send people to wipe them out. ”
Ding Hong looked at him suspiciously. Seeing his eyes, Qian Xie thought that he was afraid of the Great Black God and immediately said, “Do you think that I am afraid of that dog shit Profound God? If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m afraid of trouble, I would have gone myself! ” Feeling that he had lost control of his emotions, he coughed dryly and said, “Anyway, that’s the situation. You decide?”
Wait and see? What should I do?
Ding Hong hesitated for a moment before asking, “Then why do you insist on my going?”
Du Xie opened his eyes wide and said, “Are you stupid!? What you have cultivated is the power of yin and yang, the attribute of primal chaos! Furthermore, there was almost no spiritual energy flowing through his body. He directly used the surrounding spiritual energy to cast spells. Where could he find such a person? If time is not on your side, why are you standing in front of me now, brat? ”
Ding Hong finally understood the meaning of his words. He had to go to the west alone to find him relatives. However, he really wanted to ask Doctor Xie who his relatives were.
Doctor Xie nodded, he felt that his words were correct, “Mn, let’s do it this way.”
Just as Ding Hong was about to open his mouth to say something, Doctor Xie took the opportunity to press a pill into his mouth. A cold light flashed through Suo Bing’s eyes. He was about to pull away the Sky Lock Painting.
Doctor Xie let out a cold snort, turned into a shadow, and arrived beside Suo Bing. His palm touched Suo Bing’s arms. Suo Bing suddenly felt that there was a thousand pounds on her arm. She couldn’t even lift it and instantly dropped it. Ding Hong did not expect Suo Bing to suddenly make a move, and he also did not expect that Du Xie would be so fast. He hurried to Suo Bing’s side and said to her, “Lord Demon Lord is very generous. Do not lower yourself to a woman’s level.
Doctor Xie looked at Suo Bing coldly, then said to Ding Hong, “What I gave you just now was basically poison. If you don’t bring him back next spring, the consequences would be ….” He looked around, wanting to find something to show him, but after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find anything. He could not help but say, “The consequences are serious!”
Ding Hong looked at him helplessly and asked, “Are there any safety precautions?”
Du Xie glared at him and said, “That plate on your face is a form of security, what kind of security do you need me to do?” He paused for a moment and said, “But can I help you improve this little girl’s body and give you some elixirs?”
Ding Hong said, “Then…”
Before he could finish speaking, Doctor Xie followed up: “Oh? So you agree? Since that’s the case, let’s prepare well. I’ll send you to the western side of the Wilderness. ”
“Ah?” “I …”
Doctor Xie continued: “Ling Wu’er? She seems to have something to talk to you about, but it’s just her little girl’s mentality. Okay, that’s it. She lives in the back by a spring. “I’ll come look for you once you’re done.” After saying that, he left the dumbfounded Ding Hong alone.
After inhaling for less than three breaths, Du Xie ran back and threw a red coloured pendant to Ding Hong. He said, “Put this pendant on. He can guide you to my relative.” He recalled carefully, “My relative had carved a monster that looked exactly like the one in the necklace. If you find it, I will come to pick you up. As for the rest, you can decide for yourself! ” He left with his hands behind his back.
Ding Hong looked at the pendant. The pendant was red in color and looked like amber as it wrapped around a very small ‘monster’. Seeing this monster, he couldn’t help but doubt if Doctor Xie’s eyes were normal. How could that thing be a monster! It was obviously a person! After thinking for a moment, he hung the pendant up and sighed to Suo Bing. “Ah, an eventful autumn.”
Suo Bing naturally understood the meaning behind Doctor Xie’s words. She passed the painting to Ding Hong and said, “Young master, take it with you.”
Ding Hong took it and looked at it for a bit, then gave it back to Suo Bing. He said, “Seeing that you’re using this when you’re cultivating, wouldn’t it be a waste if I took it away?”
Su Bing frowned and said, “Then Young Master, you …”
Ding Hong chuckled and said, “Of course I have something to deal with.” He had already thought about it. Since this savage abhorred cultivators who plundered the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, those who had the cultivation level under the curse would naturally not go there either. At that time, he could use the Fou talisman to protect himself.
Since they had already arranged everything, Ding Hong did not delay any further and said, “Let’s go and see what exactly that little girl has to do. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave earlier. If we delay any further, the poison will die.”
Suo Bing nodded and followed him to where Ling Wu’er was. Ling Wu’er’s residence wasn’t far from here. After circling a few woods and going down a few stone steps, she saw Ling Wu’er, who was washing her feet beside a spring.
At this time, Ling Wu’er had suddenly become quiet, quiet to the point where she was somewhat stupefied. After seeing Ding Hong, she threw a golden pill on a short wooden table beside her to Ding Hong, saying, “The antidote.”
The golden pill was ordinary. It didn’t have the usual fragrance of the pill. Just by touching it, Ding Hong felt as if the pill had a life of its own as it struggled in his hands.
Ling Wu’er turned her head to look at Ding Hong and said, “There are only five of these Golden Origin Pills on Langya Mountain. Three are with Doctor Xie, and two are with me.” She didn’t call him grandpa, but directly said the name of Doctor Xie. Looking at her body, Ding Hong could not help but be suspicious.
Ding Hong said, “Why did you give me this pill?”
Ling Wu’er turned her head to look at the spring water again and said: “Lang Ya Mountain has an unwritten rule. If anyone wants to inherit Lang Ya Mountain, then they must personally kill the previous generation’s Mountain Lord.”
Ding Hong frowned and said, “And then?”
Ling Wu’er replied, “My parents have already been gone for more than ten years.”
Ding Hong vaguely guessed the result, but still pretended to ask, “Did your parents succeed?”
Ling Wu’er had stopped all her actions. Ding Hong could feel a vicious aura slowly being emitted from her body. She said, “My parents have all died at the hands of Doctor Xie.”
This probably wasn’t the main point. Before Ding Hong could say what he wanted to know about Spirit Witch, he asked, “What kind of person are your parents?”
Ling Wu’er suddenly smiled and said, “My mother is his own daughter.” She seemed to be laughing very happily, so much so that tears began to flow out of her eyes.
Ding Hong was silent, not knowing how to respond.
Ling Wu’er then used the spring water she spat out to wash her face and said, “If you have the ability, help me kill that evil doctor!”
Ding Hong said, “Your grandfather’s cultivation base is very high.”
Ling Wu’er shook her head and replied, “It’s true that he has a high cultivation level, but he has an extremely dangerous disease. Every year, after the beginning of spring, he will erupt. When you come back next year, it’ll be around the time he becomes ill.”
Ding Hong was silent. One, he didn’t know if what she said was true or not, and two, he didn’t know if he should do it or not.
Ling Wu’er said, “You don’t have to be in a hurry to make a decision, and you don’t have to take the pill in a hurry either. When you can’t find him next year, it won’t be too late to eat him. However, you must remember, after you eat the Golden Origin Pill, you must help me! “How about it?”
Ding Hong’s heart skipped a beat as he silently cursed himself for being so conflicted. The Devil Sect people must be thinking this way. Why would they want him to do this? “Alright!”
Ling Wu’er’s eyes lit up, “It’s a deal.”
“There is no turning back!”
Afterwards, Ding Hong returned to the stone tower. After the evil doctor stuffed a small gourd full of pills into his mouth, he said a few more words and then led him on the road. It took them four to five days to reach the western border. After finding a relatively secretive place to land, Du Xie took out a set of clothes and said, “Wear this. The mask you’re wearing is too ostentatious!”
Ding Hong rummaged through the clothes. The workmanship was meticulous and the material was excellent. It could resist wind and sand while also being able to guard against cold and avoid heat. There was even a conical hat.
“There are a lot of caravans passing by, so you should just stay inside as a travelling companion. Afterwards, the closer you get to my relative in the Wilderness, the stronger the reaction from the necklace is, then you’ll naturally feel it. Okay, after you find him, return here, and wish you come back early.” With that, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Ding Hong was helpless. He arrived at the west gate and found a random place to stay before changing into the set of clothes given to him by Yao Xie. However, he felt that this bamboo hat was not very safe and bought a lot of masks to prevent future troubles.
The water shone on his face and he let out a sigh.
After packing up, he went outside. Just now, he saw a huge merchant guild not far away from this street. Many merchants were there hiring guards or buying and selling goods. Even though it was winter and the Spring Festival was approaching, the company’s members were still as popular as ever. Perhaps many people saw the shortage of goods at this time and were busy making more money by walking around.
Just as he entered, a well-dressed young man ran over and asked, “Warrior, are you selling goods or acting as a guard?”
This was because Ding Hong was wearing tight clothes, a conical hat, and a masked face. Ding Hong did not stop and said, “Of course, guards.”
When the young man heard this, he was amused. He turned around and shouted, “Old man Zhang, there’s one here, there’s one here!”
“Where, where?!” An old man with a simple beard came running out from the east wing, shouting loudly as if he was anxious to wait. He walked up to the young man and carefully sized him up. His expression was a little ugly as he said, “This body seems a little too small.”
