Ever since Lang Yun entered this black bamboo forest, he had always felt that someone was watching him. It was not until he got the answer from the black bamboo spirit that he finally felt relieved...
But he was relieved. At this time, Lang Yun had a headache. He clearly remembered what the book said: "Exchange a thick soul for a thin soul... Wouldn't it be like the grass and trees, with a life span as long as the sun and the moon?" Tianqi." But this black bamboo essence is a huge black bamboo forest in front of you. Even if you feed on this black bamboo, you may not be able to use it up if you eat it day and night for several lifetimes.
Lang Yun was very curious about this black bamboo essence, so he naturally had many questions to ask, but before he could speak, he felt his arms itching.
A few days ago, when he was building a bamboo shed, he accidentally cut a cut on his arm. At this time, a dense layer of black fuzz actually appeared on the wound.
Because the black fluff looked more like dust from somewhere, he prepared to twist it away without caring. But just as he was twisting the hairs, he suddenly felt a kind of pain like peeling flesh and bones coming from his arm, and his eyes suddenly went dark and he fell to the ground.
When he woke up, it was already bright, but the painful feeling was still fresh in his memory.
Lang Yun subconsciously looked at his hand, but felt strange in his heart. The wound on his arm had healed unexpectedly, and there was no trace of scar left. He once suspected that it was because of his own eyesight! Just a tear on the sleeve proved that this was no dream.
"You're awake..." Suddenly, a voice brought him back to reality.
"Who?" Lang Yun was startled and subconsciously became vigilant.
"It's me...how could you not remember me..." This voice sounded very aggrieved.
"Uh..." Lang Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized, "Are you... the Black Bamboo Essence?"
"It's me! It's me!" Hearing this, Black Bamboo Essence's voice became light again.
Lang Yun seemed to be talking to himself in the air, always feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, but fortunately there were no outsiders here, and he didn't have to worry about being regarded as an idiot.
"Black Bamboo Essence, what's the matter with this injury on my body?" Lang Yun asked in confusion.
"You humans often fall into long sleep for no apparent reason. We tried our best to do nothing but to no avail! I didn't expect... I didn't expect you to wake up. Unlike them... you just keep sleeping... and ignore me..."
"He...they..." Lang Yun was shocked when he heard this, wondering if there were others here?
"You are of the same kind, maybe you can wake them up..." Black Bamboo Essence's tone suddenly sounded pleasantly surprised, "Great! Follow me quickly, I will take you to find them!"
"Ah...oh...ok..." Lang Yun's heart beat wildly when he heard this, wondering if this black bamboo essence was referring to a Taiyi Pavilion disciple, and he also began to think about how to explain it for a while.
"What are you doing over there...I'm here..."
"You've gone too far...I'm here..."
Lang Yun could only hear his voice but not see his form. After struggling for a long time, he finally reached the location where the Black Bamboo Essence was said. He felt very tired.
"You guys, wake up quickly... I... have found your kind..." Black Bamboo Essence's voice suddenly became urgent.
Lang Yun pulled his neck and looked around, but he didn't see a single figure. He was wondering in his heart, but his eyes fell on a place covered by black bamboo in front of him.
He stepped forward and opened the black bamboo suddenly, but was choked and his stomach churned. Fortunately, he hadn't eaten today, otherwise everything he ate would have been upset.
I saw that what was covered under the black bamboo was a pile of rotting corpses.
"Black Bamboo Essence...where are they you mentioned..." Lang Yun felt sick in his heart. He frowned and took a few steps away and took a few deep breaths before feeling much better.
"Eh? Haven't you already seen them?" Black Bamboo Essence asked doubtfully.
"Have you seen them?" Lang Yun was slightly stunned, pointed at the corpses, and said: "Black Bamboo Essence, are they the ones you are talking about..."
"That's right, it's them I'm talking about. Wake them up quickly, hurry up, hurry up!" Black Bamboo Essence urged from the side.
Lang Yun felt a little baffled, and even doubted whether the Black Bamboo Essence was playing tricks on him: "Black Bamboo Essence, don't joke with me... They have died long ago, and I don't have the ability to wake up the corpse..."
"I don't understand what you mean by 'death'?" Black Bamboo Essence asked in confusion, "And... what is a corpse? Why can't it wake up?"
"Corpse... This person will become a corpse after he dies... If he can wake up, he will really see a ghost..." Lang Yun muttered.
"When you die...you become a corpse? Then don't you mean that...this corpse is a human being? Since it is also a human being, why won't it wake up?" Black Bamboo Essence kept asking questions.
Hearing this, Lang Yun suddenly realized something. Perhaps this black bamboo essence was different from humans, so it didn't understand the principles of life and death.
"Although this corpse is indeed human, it is just a shell..."
"Husk?"
"That's right! There are originally three souls and seven souls in this body, and after a person dies, these three souls and seven souls will dissipate separately... So although they look no different from normal, because they are missing the three souls and seven souls, I can't...can't wake up anymore!" Lang Yun explained laboriously.
"Is that so..." Black Bamboo Essence was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke again: "If their three souls and seven souls are condensed, will they still wake up?"
"This..." Lang Yun had never thought about this kind of problem. He was also confused when he heard this, "Theoretically it should be possible..."
The Black Bamboo Spirit fell into silence after hearing these words. The wolf called it several times without getting any response...
Lang Yun saw that it was already getting late, so he stood up and prepared to wash up. After all, he was going to Taiyi Pavilion to steal food later, and he didn't want his appetite to be affected by the smell of corpses on his body.
But when he arrived at the Black Bamboo Forest stream and saw his reflection in the water, he couldn't help but exclaimed! After this night, his appearance turned out to be much younger than yesterday.
"What...what's going on? How come my skills have improved so much?" Moreover, Lang Yun discovered that not only his appearance, but also the strength in his body had increased a lot.
After this period of time, Lang Yun finally had a certain understanding of the skills he learned from Zhu Kun. This technique relies on refining the energy and blood of living people to enhance your strength. As long as you kill more people, your strength will be stronger! But at the same time, it also has a side effect, that is, if you do not replenish your energy and blood for a long time, your strength will begin to decline as your appearance ages.
But I haven't replenished my qi and blood since last night. Why is the qi and blood in my body so full?
Lang Yun looked at the almost healed wound on his arm and murmured: "Is it because of... the black bamboo essence or the black velvet?"
The bone-scratching pain from last night was still fresh in Lang Yun's memory. Although he didn't know what happened next, he knew that his great increase in skill must be related to these two things!
"It seems that the written record is indeed good. This black bamboo forest... can indeed allow people to obtain the method of immortality!" Lang Yun narrowed his eyes and his mind began to become active.
"I haven't figured out the details of this black bamboo essence yet. If it detects my thoughts, I will definitely be more vigilant! Since this matter is caused by the black velvet... In this case, I'd better find out the origin of such a thing first. Well..." Now that Lang Yun had made up his mind, he didn't hesitate any longer. He didn't even care about stealing food, and walked along the road towards his shelter.
Although the wolf's range of activities is not small, he goes to the stream to wash up every night before going to bed, so the source of the black velvet is naturally much smaller.
He searched carefully along the road from the stream, and found nothing when he returned to the bamboo shed he had built. He couldn't help but become dejected.
Because I had a sudden pain last night, a corner of the bamboo shed collapsed when I fell down. Anyway, Lang Yun had no intention of eating right now, so he picked up the scattered black bamboos on the ground with a sad face, preparing to repair the bamboo shed now.
But just when he set his eyes on the corner of the bamboo shed, his pupils couldn't help but dilate several times.
Perhaps it’s because of the recent humid weather, but the black bamboo in the corner was actually covered with fluff on its originally smooth surface!
The color of these fluffs is the same as that of black bamboo, and even darker than black bamboo. If it weren't for Lang Yun's tricky eyes, it would be impossible to detect it easily.
Lang Yun gritted his teeth, touched the black velvet, and his heart began to beat violently. But he stayed here for a long time, but nothing happened.
"Strange...what's going on?" Lang Yun tried a few more times until he rubbed a piece of black bamboo until it became shiny, but nothing happened.
Lang Yun retracted his hand angrily, but accidentally hit the sharp point of the bamboo next to him, leaving a bloody hole in his hand in an instant.
It was too late, but it was too late. Before the blood in the wound had time to flow out, it was instantly filled with dense black velvet.
When Lang Yun saw this, he looked happy: "Haha, it seems that I guessed well! This black velvet should have the ability to heal wounds!"
But he didn't dare to pull it out like he did yesterday. Instead, he cautiously reached out his hand, wanting to see how his wound had recovered.
But just as he touched the black velvet, he fell down on the bamboo shed with a groan.
How could this inherently weak bamboo shed withstand such a heavy load? It fell apart...
"Hiss..." After an unknown amount of time, Lang Yun finally slowly opened his eyes. Then he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly turned over and looked at his wound, only to see that the original blood hole had disappeared.
After checking the injury, he tried to run the technique again and found that his energy and blood were a little stronger again. The only thing that made him regretful was that the progress this time was not as obvious as last time.
"Although this black velvet can heal injuries and improve strength at the same time, the pain is too unbearable..." Lang Yun wiped the sweat on his forehead with a confused look on his face.
"Anyway, the pain is so unbearable every time, why not just gamble again?" Lang Yun became addicted to gambling again, and his breathing became rapid.
After a while, he took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, and finally made up his mind, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"As long as you don't die, you will live forever!"
