After pulling the sword seed out of his body, Tang Zhao still felt uncomfortable for a long time, not to mention the feeling of emptiness and powerlessness.
Squatting on the ground, Tang Zhao finally cheered up, and saw several people at the door staring at him with wide eyes.
That kind of look is like looking at a live ferocious beast, but also like looking at cooked braised pork.
Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile.
They are all acquaintances, oh, and there is also an acquaintance cat.
"Master Xing...Sister Xue, ah, Teacher Si is here too?" His vocal cords were still a little hoarse, and his voice seemed to be torn.
After a while, Xing Ji reacted, rushed forward in three steps, grabbed Tang Zhao's hand and said: "Tang Zhao, you... what the hell happened? You really pulled the sword seed out of your body..."
Xue Yeyu shouted: "Don't move!"
She also took steps to keep up, but she tripped and fell to the ground with a snap.
Tang Zhao was startled. Without waiting for him to reach out to help her, Xue Yeyu climbed up quickly. As if nothing had happened, he pointed at Xing Ji and said, "You want to take the sword seed? Do you want to die?"
Xingji was stunned for a moment, and then his attention returned to Tang Zhao, saying: "Don't worry, I don't want to be a madman, how can I hold a sword with my bare hands... What's going on? How did you do it? What the hell is this? A miracle?"
Tang Zhao looked at the sword seed in his hand and said in a daze, "Can't I hold the sword seed with my hands?"
Xing Ji said: "If you hold the sword seed with your hands, you will be overwhelmed by the mental shock - but that's not the point! The sword seed enters the body! How did you take it out? The sword seed will always sink deep in the soul, and you can only enter it. It cannot come out unless the soul dissipates and can be taken out from the flesh and blood. How did you do that?"
Tang Zhao was speechless for a moment and could not speak.
how to say? Can you tell me about the glasses?
At this time, Xue Yeyu had already brought a translucent silver stone over and said, "Put the sword seed on the strange stone." She walked this way, but suddenly her steps faltered and she fell down again.
When she fell, she quickly pushed her hand and the silver stone flew out, falling right into Si Liyu's hand. Si Liyu was at a loss as he held the stone.
Seeing this situation, Xing Ji looked strange and said, "Tang Zhao, give the lucky bag around your neck back to your sister Xue."
Tang Zhao touched his neck and found that he had a lucky bag tied with a red string and untied it.
Xing Ji tried his best to calm down his voice and said: "I heard Lao Xue say that his niece was born a little unlucky and could never succeed in doing things. Afterwards, she got an efficacious fortune-tuck magic weapon and wore it, so it became normal. It seems that just now Xue The girl gave you the lucky bag, hoping to bless you to pass this test. It is indeed effective."
Tang Zhao was moved and hurriedly handed over the lucky bag.
Xue Yeyu had already gotten up skillfully, with an angry look on her face, and said, "What bad luck? It's all lies! Do you mean that without the lucky bag, I wouldn't..." She sat on the chair as she spoke.
Unexpectedly, the chair had already absorbed the talisman power from Tang Zhao, and was extremely fragile. With a thud, she fell to the ground.
Tang Zhao hurriedly put the lucky bag on her head and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, sister. I've also destroyed many of your magic tools."
Xue Yeyu waved his hand and said, "What does this mean? As much as you destroy, the Land Inspection Department will naturally compensate me." She got up, stood firmly, walked over smoothly, and took the silver stone from Si Liyu's hand. , let Tang Zhao put the sword seed in.
Tang Zhao put it down as he said, and saw the sword seed falling down, soaking into the surface of the strange stone, and then completely submerged, like a bubble appearing in the ice. The bubbles themselves have no color, but when light shines inside, they will overflow with dreamy colors.
Finally getting rid of the damn sword species, Tang Zhao let out a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he saw Xing Ji still staring at him.
After thinking about it, Tang Zhao took the initiative to explain: "Actually, I was also blinded just now. I remember that after I woke up, I felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to dig out the thing, so I used the method you taught me to open the acupuncture points..."
Xing Ji was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, he felt Xue Yeyu's questioning look. He thought he was asking why he still used acupoints when he knew Tang Zhao could solve acupuncture points. He couldn't say that he had forgotten, so he laughed and said, "There are too many skills. Pressure, if children are willing to learn more, that’s right.”
Tang Zhaodao: "After untying it, I tried to force it out by mobilizing internal strength, but it was difficult to do. In the end, I became violent and mobilized all my strength, internal strength, mental strength, and I don't know what kind of strength it was. I pushed hard, and it seemed to have some effect. I could feel the sword being mobilized by me. Then I continued to force it, and it moved out little by little. Halfway through, I felt very tired, and was afraid of giving up halfway, so I grabbed the magic weapon, and somehow it came out of it. Absorbed strength..."
Xue Yeyu was stunned. He picked up a tattered book and looked at the spine. He found that the original talisman had disappeared and looked at Tang Zhao with complicated eyes.
"After absorbing the power, I was able to continue to mobilize that thing, supplementing the power from time to time, and finally squeezed it out."
After he finished speaking, there was an eerie silence in the room.
For a long time, Xue Yeyu carefully considered every word and said: "It's not unreasonable. A Zhao's talent is very amazing. He can even learn how to mobilize the Yuan Talisman without a teacher. This is rare in a hundred years. Even if he has some talent, he can mobilize the sword seed in his soul. , it’s not that I can’t deal with it…what a ghost! Who would believe this thing if I tell it?! I can’t even wash it!”
"The Sword Comes"
At this time, Xing Ji smiled and said: "Okay, Tang Zhao must be exhausted, go and lie down on the bed. Seeing that you are in a bad state, let's sit down too."
Tang Zhao said: "You guys sit down. I'll sit down for a while too." He stood up and sat back on the bed. Of course he's not in a good state now, but it's not like everyone is sitting around while he's lying down. That would be too weird.
He sat on the bed, and several other people sat down one after another. Then he saw a fat cat jumping on the bed. Tang Zhao easily grabbed it and held it in his arms. The cat didn't struggle and just lay on Tang Zhao's lap.
Xing Ji said sternly: "Tang Zhao just said what happened. Whether everyone understands or not, there is no need to ask him. He must be confused about this unprecedented thing. He must be confused if he asks. What's coming?"
Tang Zhao nodded repeatedly. It may not be confusing, but don't ask if it is true.
Xing Ji added: "This must be a good thing. Tang Zhao escaped from death, or Ji Ji comes back in peace. I think at least we are really happy."
Several people nodded. Xing Ji, Si Liyu and Xue Yeyu were all the people in the world who cared about Tang Zhao and sincerely wished Tang Zhao well.
Xing Ji said: "Because I hope that Tang Zhao will be well, I hope that today's matter will not be revealed. Don't mention it to other people."
He did not explain why, but several people knew in their hearts that the more people knew about such shocking and inexplicable things, the more dangerous they would be.
It just so happens that this place is isolated from the world. It is best not to tell anyone that Tang Zhao was invaded by the sword species. It is best to wipe it out silently.
Xue Yeyu said: "Of course I won't tell, even if I can tell who to go? But you are all official servants of the Prosecution Department. I heard that Mr. Xing is still a confidant of Marquis Gao Yuan. Can you hide it from your lord?"
Xing Ji smiled and said, "Why not? Deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors is our specialty as officials."
He consciously said a joke, but no one laughed except him. Si Liyu even darkened his face. He had no choice but to laugh dryly and said seriously: "If it is a major matter related to the well-being of the people, I will tell the truth truthfully. I will never hide anything, but carefully Think about it, Tang Zhao’s ability is amazing even if it’s strange, so what’s the use of it?”
A few people were startled and immediately began to think - yes, what's the use?
protect yourself?
The probability of being implanted in the body by a sword is extremely low. Although the shape of the sword is unpredictable, it is not used to launch attacks. Except for this extremely rare sneak attack, the general type of swords used in combat are not as good as casual swordsmanship. Furthermore, most of the precious sword species cannot be hidden, so who would throw them around the world?
Free the sword slaves?
The imperial court was not allowed to keep sword slaves in the first place. Most of the sword slaves were in Zongliang Mountain, a place beyond the control of the imperial court. Who would go there to rescue the sword slaves?
He was not allowed to speak out, but only those curious and ulterior eyes were blocked, and it did not delay the important affairs of the court.
Xing Ji said: "Tang Zhao is still a teenager. Now the priority is to protect the children. If there is a crisis that really affects the people and Tang Zhao's ability needs to be used, I think Tang Zhao will come forward without us reporting it."
Si Liyu nodded and said, "That's right. I fulfill my duties in public and have a clear conscience privately."
Xue Yeyu also nodded and said: "You can do it, and I have no problem."
Xing Ji said: "The Tongming Palace will definitely be notified about Gang Liang. When the time comes, I will draft an official document and I will revise it."
Tang Zhao thought to himself: The District Prosecution Department also has the errand of official documents?
Xing Ji patted Tang Zhao and said: "You have a good rest, this time has damaged your vitality after all. If you can make it to the Demon Cave after a few days of rest, then forget about it. If you can't make it, forget it. And..." He hesitated slightly and said nothing more. He said, "Have a good rest, this is your first mission."
Xue Yeyu wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end it was silent.
Seeing several people getting up, Tang Zhao suddenly said: "Sir, I have something to tell you."
Xing Ji paused, sat down, and said, "Okay." Si Liyu went out silently, Xue Yeyu glanced at Tang Zhao, and finally left.
There were only two people left, Xing Ji smiled and said: "What are you doing? You want to challenge me to fight? I said, it depends on your body. If you get better, I will urge you to go to the battlefield. If you don't get better, I can't even say Potian." Let’s get you on the field.”
Tang Zhao said seriously: "Sir, if the sword seed in Master Xue's body can be taken out, can he still live?"
Xingji's expression suddenly changed, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
Tang Zhao said hurriedly: "He was invaded by the sword species, right? Sister Xue said that his uncle and I are the same."
Xing Ji said softly: "Wait, wait, let me think about it."
He thought carefully, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, except that his breathing rhythm was much faster than usual.
After a while, he said slowly: "You can try it, if you are willing to try it. His body is not alive for a day. No matter whether he can survive after being taken out, it is a good thing to be able to remove the shackles before death and leave easily." "
Tang Zhao snorted, feeling uncontrollably excited and a little sad.
Xing Ji said to himself: "There will be some trouble later. The Demon Cave is chasing the sword species. Once it is taken out, the Demon Cave will come immediately, and we must start here in advance. A single move can affect the whole body, many things... I can solve it . Without further ado, I will go back to gather the team, you wait for a day or two..."
Tang Zhao said: "If everyone is pressed for time and want to buy time, I can... buy a day or two."
Xing Ji raised his eyebrows, and Tang Zhao said word by word: "Take out the sword seed and put it here immediately. I can bear it if it's just for one day."
Although he really didn't want to repeat that feeling, Daxia Xue was already in danger. An early relief might give him a little more hope of survival. Tang Zhao couldn't think of a better way.
Xing Ji was silent, then suddenly slapped the table and said, "Yes, this move is fine. But I don't need you, let Xiao Si do it."
