Chapter 163 Tang San Poisoned, Herb-Gathering Girl!
Mittel Tengshan pointed to the cloud ship in the distance, which exuded a terrifying aura:
"If I'm not mistaken, the immortal ship should be the domain of Shui Bing'er. With that connection to Ya Fei... they wouldn't attack us for no reason, would they?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
That's right, the Heavenly Court! That's the number one power in the primordial world!
If we can use this to establish a connection with the Heavenly Court... Didn't they say before that they wanted to confer gods and recruit local forces?
This is a great opportunity!
Mittel Fujiyama smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Some things are better left unsaid!
...
The Izumo Empire.
Ten Thousand Scorpions Gate.
Xie Biyan stood atop the mountain, gazing at the continent that was merging into the distance, his eyes gleaming.
"Ancestor, should we..."
Sect leader Xie Shan leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Xie Biyan waved his hand:
No rush.
He saw clearly the Soul Clan's defeat in Douluo Continent.
Those men in black robes were ridiculously strong, but in the end they were still dealt with.
His Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect doesn't want to follow in that footsteps.
"Let's see how things go first."
He said in a deep voice:
"Take advantage of any opportunity, and be patient if you don't. Remember, don't be too flamboyant."
Scorpion Mountain nodded and turned to make the arrangements.
...
The Empire of Fallen Geese.
Jin Yanzong.
Yan Luotian stood outside the main hall, gazing at the distant continent with greed in his eyes.
"Hahaha! Heaven is helping me!"
He laughed loudly, looking up at the sky:
"I've wanted to visit the Douluo World for a long time! Now that it's delivered right to my doorstep, how can I refuse?"
"The sect leader is wise!"
A group of powerful figures from the sects behind him echoed his sentiments.
"Gather everyone!"
A wild goose descends from the sky, waving its hand:
"Ready to set off! The opportunities of the Douluo World are mine to claim!"
He had long been captivated by the primordial opportunities within the heavens.
Even without this incident, he was prepared to go to the tiger's mouth to snatch food.
The world is already interconnected, so what are we waiting for?
He stirred up the entire Luoyan Empire, and all the sects were eager to make a move.
Other empires in the Northwest Region were also watching from the sidelines.
Countless powerful individuals were eager to fight.
Even the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, the overlord of the Northwest Region who never fights back or retaliates, is preparing to send people to join in the fun.
A sense of unease arose, and no one knew whether they were friend or foe.
But everyone knew that a new storm was brewing.
...
The primordial era.
After some commotion, Erming finally calmed down.
You can't be dishonest; once that mantra is recited, it feels like your head is about to explode.
But he just couldn't swallow his anger.
Especially when you look at Tang San's hypocritical face.
"Disciple, lead the way."
Tang San, mounted on his horse, looked down at him with a gentle tone, yet it revealed an indescribable smugness.
Erming gritted his teeth:
"I'm not familiar with this road!"
"You have to become familiar with it even if you're not. This is a form of spiritual practice."
Tang San clasped his hands together, his face full of compassion:
"I'm doing this for your own good. Travel more, see more, and you'll broaden your horizons and purify your soul."
Er Ming:...
I don't believe you for a second!
But he wouldn't leave, so Tang San started chanting sutras.
It's not a magic spell, it's genuine chanting.
They keep reciting the Diamond Sutra and the Lotus Sutra over and over again.
Erming's head was buzzing; it was even more unbearable than a tight headband.
"Let's go! I'll lead the way! Stop reading!"
He backed down.
Tang San smiled slightly and read on with even more enthusiasm.
They euphemistically call it: receiving the baptism of Buddhism.
Erming: Thank you and your whole family!
On this day.
The two arrived at a remote and secluded valley.
All around was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Tang San reined in his horse and frowned: "This place... is a bit strange."
He glanced at Erming:
"Monkey, go ahead and scout the way."
Erming rolled his eyes.
It's me again?
But he didn't dare to argue back. He put down his luggage and walked forward in silence.
After walking a short distance, we turned a corner—
"ah!"
A scream!
Erming stood there, stunned.
Before him stood a girl carrying a basket of herbs, staring at him in terror.
The girl was dressed in coarse cloth, pure and lovely, with bright, sparkling eyes.
But at this moment, those eyes were filled with terror.
"What...what are you?!"
Er Ming: "..."
He touched his face.
His current appearance is indeed a bit frightening.
It was completely black, with only its two eyeballs visible; it was a veritable black horse.
"cough."
He coughed, trying to appear as amiable as possible:
"Don't be afraid, young lady, I'm not a monster, I'm..."
What is it?
Monk?
But he wasn't a monk.
Is he a disciple of the pilgrim on his journey to the West?
Pah!
"I was just passing by."
The girl looked at him warily and took two steps back.
"Passing by? How could anyone pass by in this desolate wilderness?"
Just then, Tang San caught up on horseback.
His eyes lit up when he saw the girl.
"Amitabha."
He dismounted, clasped his hands together, and looked compassionate.
"Greetings, benefactor."
The girl glanced at him, then at Erming, her eyes filled with even greater wariness.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Tang San smiled slightly and began his performance:
"This humble monk bears the sins of all living beings and travels 108,000 li westward to cleanse the world of its karmic consequences and seek the true scriptures for salvation."
He spoke in a grand and dignified manner, appearing compassionate and empathetic.
The girl listened, her gaze sweeping over his face before glancing at the white horse.
"They're from Chaoge..."
She repeated it softly, a smile spreading across her face:
"My house is just ahead. It's getting dark, how about... we come to my house to rest for a while? And have some vegetarian food?"
Tang San was overjoyed.
In this desolate wilderness, having a place to stay is truly a godsend.
"Thank you, benefactor."
The girl turned and led the way.
Erming followed behind, feeling that something was amiss.
After walking for a short while, several simple thatched huts appeared ahead.
"We've arrived. Please come in."
The girl pushed open the door and stepped aside to let her pass.
Tang San stepped into the room and looked around.
Although the house was simple, it was kept very clean.
"You two must be tired from your journey, have some water."
The girl handed over the bowl.
Tang San took the bowl and was about to drink—
His movements suddenly stopped.
The Xuan Tian Bao Lu states that one should not drink water indiscriminately when traveling.
He looked down at the water in the bowl.
It was crystal clear, with nothing unusual about it.
Can...
He pricked up his ears.
There were no insects chirping around.
His eyes sharpened.
How come there isn't even the chirping of insects in this desolate wilderness?
He glanced at the girl.
The girl was looking at him, with a hint of...expectation in her eyes?
Tang San's mind raced, but he pretended not to notice anything, picked up the bowl, and took a sip.
The water tasted slightly sweet as it went down my throat.
Then--
His vision went black and he collapsed to the ground!
Erming was startled.
But as soon as I stood up, I felt dizzy and lightheaded, and the world seemed to spin around me.
Fortunately, he possessed cultivation and was a reincarnated stone monkey, making him immune to most poisons.
I'm just feeling dizzy and lightheaded, but I can still manage.
"What did you do?!"
He suddenly stood up and glared at the herb-gathering woman.
