Chapter 5, Strange Purple Bones
In the vast sea, a strange corpse floated above it, as if it was floating from the distant sky, and seemed to continue to drift downward forever, forever.
At the beginning, it was just a small black dot, and then it got closer and closer. Soon, it came to my eyes.
It was vaguely seen in the sunshine that a little purple light appeared on his shoulders and back.
This purple light was as bright as a star, as big as a candle. You could vaguely see a beast's head, but it quickly disappeared, as if it was the tail of a giant bow.
The mist blew away and the sunlight reflected in Tang Gu's eyes. This purple light was extremely conspicuous, as if it was tied behind the man in black.
The faint blood smudged from the sea, attracting a group of bone-eating fish, competing for the next step, and then pursuing and swallowing.
"Who is this? How could he die here?"
Tang Gu felt strange in his heart that there were few other humans near Shiyan Town, but this monk in black was wearing strange clothes and had a strange buckle. No matter how you look at it, it didn't look like the clothes that monks in the snowland liked to wear.
But I don’t know what his origin is, and why it appears here?
Seeing that the corpse had been in a while, it was about to leave the island and continue to wander, Tang Gu's heart moved, but suddenly ran down.
He came to the shore, where he stopped the boat, and quickly untied a thick and long rope.
Not long after, the body came to his eyes. He swung the rope around the feet of the black-clothed corpse, and then pulled it hard.
"puff……"
A wave of air was stirred up on the sea surface, and the black-clothed corpse slowly deviated from its original position, drifting towards the direction of Tang Gu.
As we got closer, we got closer, and finally, Tang Gu completely saw the appearance of the corpse.
I saw that it seemed to be the body of a middle-aged man in black. His face was quite thin and pale, but his fingers were very thin and cold, like an eagle's claw.
At the most important joints of several of the knuckles, thick calluses were exposed, which were obviously formed by people who often pulled the bow or held a sword.
Thinking of the huge strange bow behind him, the answer is self-evident.
Behind it, there is a huge strange bow on the ground, the back of the bow is as crystal clear as jade, the curved corners are green, and the ribs are black and the strings are golden.
The entire strange bow is half purple, with a huge beast head on each side, which looks like a Pixiu. Tang Gu has never seen such a big bow, but I am afraid that not many people in this world have seen it.
This bow has an ancient style and a unique shape. It is an ancient and prehistoric atmosphere that comes to you. You can tell at a glance that it is absolutely extraordinary. I believe that time will be long.
Who can possess this bow is not a mortal! Who is this strange man in black who floated from somewhere? How did he own such a strange bow?
Tang Gu was extremely curious for a moment and pulled the corpse to the shore with all his strength.
But at the beginning, he didn't feel that the more he got to the back, the shallower the sea water. The harder his arms pulled the rope, the more he felt that the corpse was extremely heavy. Even if he had exhausted all his strength, if he had not relied on the buoyancy of the sea water, he would probably not be able to pull it.
"This is……"
Of course, Tang Gu knew that the body of this middle-aged man in black would never have such a weight. He had limited human body and no matter how hard his body was, how could he be as heavy as an iron piece?
The only explanation is the big bow behind him.
What made Tang Gu even more strange was why this man could still float on the sea and go with the flow after carrying such a huge and heavy bow? This seemed a bit unreasonable.
Could it be that besides this giant bow, there is anything else on his body that can keep him floating on the sea?
Tang Gu's heart was even more curious for a moment.
In this way, he was exhausted from his strength until his arms were stiff and his wrists were sore, and huge red marks appeared between his fingers. He finally pulled the corpse to the shore and flipped them hard.
In an instant, huge and eye-catching wounds appeared in his eyes, with knife marks, sword marks, gun marks, and stick marks...
Tang Gu never thought that so many scars could appear on a person’s body, what kind of hard battle did this person experience in his lifetime?
Tang Gu was shocked. For no reason, he developed a sincere admiration for the middle-aged man in black with a strange bow on his back.
As far as he knew, if he had experienced such a battle, he would have died in the siege of others before he was halfway through.
At the same time, he also felt even more extraordinary in the identity of this man in black, because... Tang Gu could see that each of these knife marks, sword marks, gun marks, stick marks, and each of them was very strange. They could not be attacked without a powerful man who could penetrate the sky and the earth.
Whether it is the pursuer or the killed one, it seems that they are not ordinary people.
Tang Gu searched the man in black.
First, he wanted to pick up the big bow, but just raised it slightly, and he immediately gave up and almost fell into a fight.
He felt this way when he pulled this big bow in the sea just now, but he really wanted to get it at this time, which made him even more shocked. I was afraid that a mountain of Tai would not have such weight.
Not to mention holding it, he just wanted to pull it away. Tang Gu probably had to grow one or two hundred kilograms of strength, so he could not think that he could pull it in the slightest.
However, such a strange thing is right in front of him, how could he give up? No matter who it is, he must try it, and Tang Gu is no exception.
He tried not to move the giant bow, but just pulled the bowstring of the giant bow with his hand. But when he touched the bowstring, he felt all the energy in his body rushing towards the giant bow like a tide.
The next moment, a purple light rose from the giant bow, which was as bright as a star. The entire island suddenly shook and the light shook.
Tang Gu was delighted, but the next moment, he jumped open like a ghost, his face full of horror, and he never dared to touch the big bow again.
Just then, he was as if he was seventy or eighty years old, and all his energy was gone. He felt an extreme hunger in his belly, which quickly made his whole body shake and almost fell to the ground.
"This is?"
After a shocking examination in his body, Tang Gu suddenly discovered that in just a moment, all the essence in his body was gone without a trace. As if he had never appeared before, his body was filled with an extreme feeling of hunger, as if it was no problem to eat a cow.
However, he obviously has a small appetite and usually checks, and he feels that he is healthy and should not be so easy to starve.
Moreover, this feeling of hunger is not the feeling of not eating a meal, but the feeling of not eating anything for decades.
Such a strange scene, how could he not be shocked by his eyes? How could he dare to touch this "demon bow"? Although he knew, it might be because he was not strong enough.
However, if he doesn't even have enough strength, how much strength does he need to pull this giant bow? I'm afraid it would be useless if he doesn't have 20,000 kilograms of strength.
But Tang Gu didn't know if there was a giant of 20,000 kilograms of strength in this world.
Anyway, he doesn't want to think about it anymore, at least, he doesn't want to think about it for the time being.
I just don’t know if such a giant bow can really pull it open one day, and how powerful it is, can it even shoot and crack?
After giving up the giant bow that attracted his attention the most, Tang Gu also found two things on the man in black.
The first item is a magical purple bone wrapped in layers of white cloth around its waist. The purple bone is about two fingers long and as wide as a palm, emitting strange light throughout the body. Once opened, it will fly into the air, as light as nothing, transparent in all directions, and a strange "whimper" sound is constantly heard.
In the purple light, it was like thousands of tadpole script floating, and he rushed into Tang Gu's head. Tang Gu instantly felt like his head was about to crack, so he quickly took the strange thing away from his body.
No matter how you look at it, you feel that this is not a good thing. The things on this man in black are extremely strange and not something that normal people can have.
The second item is a transparent crystal ball.
This crystal ball is only as big as a palm, and is as white as a star. In the crystal ball is sealed with a light blue palm-shaped spirit beast, which looks like a raccoon cat, and there are nine tails behind it, which are furry.
This big spiritual beast was sealed in the crystal ball, motionless and lifelike, like a reduced version of a raccoon cat.
Tang Gu recognized that this is a magic weapon called "soul cultivator" in the legend, called "Spiritual Celestial Ball", which is the function of sealing the spirit beast demon spirit for it to absorb. A powerful soul cultivator can even control all things and have various incredible abilities.
Could it be that the legendary spirit beast demon spirit sealed in this transparent crystal ball? But judging from its appearance, it doesn’t seem very powerful.
But I don’t know, in the eyes of the “soul cultivator”, this strange raccoon cat belongs to what level of demon soul?
After putting down these two things, Tang Gu fell into deep thought.
The three items are purple bow, strange bone, demon soul, and each one is not an ordinary thing. It is obvious that this man in black has an extraordinary identity and seems to have a great background.
But for some reason, he was chased by several other equally extraordinary strong men, and finally did not escape this disaster and died here.
Each of the three items on him was very extraordinary. Just as Tang Gu guessed just now, the strange thing that could make him float on the sea out of thin air should not be that giant bow or the spirit sealing ball.
More possibilities are the strange purple bone that is as light as nothing and can automatically fly into the sky.
I don’t know which monster this bone was taken from, and it could emit light forever, and the light rays soar into the sky.
Even the tadpole words on it looked extremely profound and mysterious. Just now, Tang Gu almost fell into the trap. He didn't notice it. Although he finally got away in time, there was still a lot of things in his mind.
He vaguely knew that the magical purple bone recorded it was a strange soul technique called "Ancient Soul Art", which functions to devour demon souls and control all beasts.
The ancient soul technique has advanced because of devouring the demon beast's original soul. The stronger the demon soul, the stronger the soul technique after the advancement, and has all kinds of incredible abilities.
Judging from the principles of its exercises, it seems a bit like the soul refining technique practiced by ancient ghost cultivators.
However, the soul refining technique practiced by ancient ghost cultivators can only be used to refine some low-level demons, but the ones that want to be refined in this ancient soul technique are ancient ferocious beasts, ancient demons, and flying immortals.
Such powerful monsters are thousands of times stronger than those inferior ghosts. If you are not careful, you may backfire. It is not you who swallow it, but it swallows you, so it is not comparable to one or two evil spirits.
And those who practice this "ancient soul technique" through soul devouring and refining will form a "soul crystal" in their minds, also called "soul thoughts".
The stronger the soul mind, the stronger the monsters you can control. It is said that there are ten levels of levels to divide them into ten levels.
But I don’t know that this “ancient soul technique” may be used to deal with the “illusion flame bronze eagle”?
Tang Gu's heart moved, but he was a little expectant. However, the legendary thing that he wanted to become a "soul cultivator" had many taboos, and even very bad things happened. The demon soul retaliated against all kinds of things, which was even more common.
Although Tang Gu obtained this "Ancient Soul Art", he began to hesitate whether he wanted to practice it. After all, this matter was obviously mixed.
Practicing this technique may become a ancestral domain in the future, which will shock the world; but it may also be a careless person who will be destroyed from then on, and eventually become a half-human and half-beast, or a strange existence similar to a demon soul.
Just looking at the miserable outcome of the monk in black, it is obvious that he should be the legendary "soul monk".
He is so powerful and has a magical object like Zigong, but he is still outnumbered. In the end, he did not die on the "demon soul backlash" that is most likely to be killed by the "soul cultivator", but died under the siege of a group of strong people.
The reason why those strong people do this is mostly because there is something important about him or something he knows, a secret that he shouldn't have known, right?
Although Tang Gu didn't know what happened, he could guess a little bit. Just looking at the "soul cultivator" attaching so much importance to the purple bone on his waist and wrapping it with thick cloth, he knew that his death was probably related, even if it wasn't for this purple bone.
After all, the more powerful the soul refining technique is, the more taboo it is. It is not surprising that this person possesses such a strange technique and attracts covetousness or fear.
