People should not be judged by their appearance, this saying is indeed a wise saying.
If Zhou Tianqi hadn't admitted it himself, I would never have thought that he had ever entered Curseless Town!
Zhou Tianqi saw the shock on my face and said with a smile: "Is it weird?"
I hurriedly said: "It's not strange, it's not strange! Then what, do you have a corpse wood?"
Zhou Tianqi nodded: "I brought Sandan to exchange for some useful things at the exchange meeting. But this is for carrying souls. It is only useful for raising ghosts, corpses, and some exorcists with damaged souls."
"I see you are young and have a sound soul. Why do you want this?"
I said awkwardly: "There is an elder who needs it, so I have to work hard."
Zhou Tianqi tilted his head and looked at me carefully, and then said: "Little brother, I hit it off with you, and I am willing to provide you with some conveniences."
"But when we were repairing the corpse wood, two brothers died, and one of them is still unconscious."
"We are not short of money, but we are short of some special items to save people. If you can get what I need, I am willing to trade with you privately and not at the exchange meeting."
I was overjoyed. If I were to compete with other exorcists at an exchange meeting, I might not be able to win against them.
Then I asked: "Mr. Zhou, what do you need?"
Zhou Tianqi answered quickly: "It is best to use the inner elixir of the Sun Golden Centipede. If it is not available, you can use the blood of the Fire Salamander instead, or the nine-color flower that grows near the volcano."
I smiled bitterly and said: "The Golden Sun Centipede seems to have disappeared long ago. Even if it exists, this thing is very powerful. It can only kill people, and there are no examples of anyone killing it."
"The fire salamander is a creature that grows near underground magma. It is full of yang and strong blood."
"The nine-color flower only grows on the cliffs of active volcanoes and is influenced by the high temperature of the earth's fire all year round. It can change into nine colors for at least ninety years."
"Mr. Zhou, I have heard of these things, but I have never seen them. I believe that you will not be able to exchange them for suitable ones at this auction."
Zhou Tianqi said: "My little brother is very knowledgeable and talented, and I admire him for it. But my life is at stake, so I have to use this thing to save my life."
Someone behind him suddenly said: "Since you know these three things, can you possibly guess what he was injured by?"
I closed my eyes and thought for a while, then said: "The inner elixir of the Golden Sun Centipede, the blood of the Fire Salamander, and the Nine-Change and Nine-Color Flower are all the most yang and the most strong."
"If it is used to save someone, it means that the yin energy in this person's body is difficult to remove. There are probably three types of injuries that can cause this kind of injury."
"The extremely negative evil, the formless heavenly corpse demon, and the underworld's unsinkable corpse."
"Of course, there is another possibility that it is man-made. I don't know much about this aspect."
The face of the man behind Zhou Tianqi changed slightly and he said: "Brother! This little brother is very powerful!"
Zhou Tianqi nodded and ordered: "Go and get the corpse wood. Also, tell Boss Feng that at today's exchange meeting, we only have two pieces of corpse wood that can be traded."
The man behind him said: "Yes! Brother!" and then left quickly.
Zhou Tianqi said: "Little brother, can you tell us about the corpse that will not sink in the underworld? To be honest, a group of ten of us once went deep into the Uncursed Road, and ended up seeing a floating corpse in the River Styx. It was there,
Five brothers were lost! Almost all of the remaining ones escaped with injuries."
"We think we are well-informed, but no one can tell the origin of the floating corpse!"
I asked in a low voice: "That floating corpse is wearing a light gauze, with long flowing hair, and a white palace flower on its head?"
Zhou Tianqi looked serious: "That's right! My little brother is indeed very knowledgeable! Mr. Zhou is disrespectful!"
I smiled bitterly and said: "I just read some books. Mr. Zhou, what you saw is indeed a corpse that will not sink in the underworld."
"This kind of corpse usually has a history of thousands of years. It floats in the River Styx and will never sink."
"The gauze on its body is actually a kind of water plant with a strong yin energy parasitic on the corpse. The white flower on the top of the head is called the soul-robbing flower, which specializes in swallowing lonely ghosts or the spirits of living people."
"It is said that the corpses that cannot sink in the underworld have been sleeping all the time, only wandering in the underworld. It is said that there are a total of seventy-two corpses that cannot sink in the river of hell, surrounding the river, over and over again. Wherever they go, the water ghosts give way and the corpses float.
Escape, and never dare to provoke those demons and monsters that depend on the Styx."
Zhou Tianqi asked me: "Then do you know how we killed five people?"
I answered without hesitation: "The Yellow River's Unsinkable Corpse never actively harms anyone, but a few dozen meters around it is a forbidden area for living people!"
"You must think it's strange that this corpse is floating in the River Styx, so you want to go and catch it. As a result, the closer you get, the faster the yang energy drains from your body. By the time you react, it's too late, and you can only be attacked by the yin energy all over your body.
die."
"Mr. Zhou wants the inner elixir of the Golden Centipede of the Sun, the blood of the Fire Salamander, and the Nine-Change and Nine-color Flower. It must be to save the survivors at that time!"
I spoke loudly, but Zhou Tianqi slowly stood up and bowed to me solemnly.
I jumped up from my seat and said, "Mr. Zhou, what are you doing!"
Zhou Tianqi said: "Brother Zhang is very knowledgeable and everything he says is well-founded. Mr. Zhou underestimated my brother before, so I would like to solemnly apologize!"
After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said: "We, the ten brothers, think that we are smart and well-equipped, and can make it back and forth even on uncursed roads."
"Who would have imagined that within two days of entering, they would encounter a dead body that would not sink in the underworld, so that they would suffer heavy losses and have to return in vain."
"If it hadn't been for the little brother's revelation, we wouldn't even know the origin of the floating corpse that injured us!"
When he said this, he suddenly turned his head: "Tiehan!"
The man who spoke just now walked over quickly, holding a box more than three feet long in his hand, and handed it to Zhou Tianqi.
Zhou Tianqi put the box on the table and said: "Little brother, this is the corpse tree, also called the dead tree. This section is not the main trunk, but it is also a branch of good material."
"This is what we encountered accidentally when we escaped from the Uncursed Road."
He opened the box and saw a dark stick lying inside. The surface of the wood was like black iron and looked very hard.
But I know that the corpse tree grows when it encounters yin and shrinks when it encounters yang. It becomes larger or smaller depending on the changes in the yin and yang atmosphere around it. It is like a sponge, it can expand or shrink into a ball.
Zhou Tianqi smiled and said: "Since little brother needs to repair the corpse wood, and we happen to have it, we will give it to you."
I was so surprised that I couldn’t open my mouth from ear to ear. Did you give it to me?
Let me tell you about the book about how the corpse will not sink in the underworld, and you will give me a piece of precious corpse-repairing wood?
