Looking at the injuries on Shi Lou's body, Gu Sheng stretched out his hand to explore.
At this time Shi Lou was still in a coma, but he still frowned unconsciously after being touched.
"The whip injury almost broke his muscles and bones. Fortunately, he just came out of isolation and his strength has improved, otherwise it would be difficult to repair the broken bones."
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
"This Purple Cloud Peak Master's methods are so ruthless!"
"He is here to kill all of us, and his methods will naturally be ruthless."
"Gu Sheng, what should we do now? Shi Lou's injury..."
"Don't worry, I'll treat him."
With a slight turn of his wrist, a touch of spiritual energy flew out of Gu Sheng's hand and landed accurately on Shi Lou's wound.
He pressed his fingers, and the spiritual energy entered Shi Lou's body along the wound.
In an instant, Shi Lou's body was shrouded in golden light, and everyone could clearly feel the fluctuations of his spiritual energy. In order not to affect Shi Lou's treatment, they hurriedly used their divine power to protect themselves to avoid losing his spiritual energy.
When several silver needles were floating in the air, Gu Sheng's divine power rose, pressing down on the silver needles and falling rapidly.
When the silver needle was inserted into the acupuncture point, Shi Lou hummed softly.
At this time, the golden light on its body erupted again, and the wounds healed visibly.
Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely surprised.
Shi Lou has taken Purple Spirit Grass, but apart from detoxifying it, the treatment effect on the wound is not good. Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Sheng took action, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
When everyone was surprised, the golden light on Shi Lou disappeared.
Gu Sheng pulled out the silver needle and touched his hand between his eyebrows.
As his fingers fell, Shi Lou slowly opened his eyes.
"Gu Sheng, why did I fall asleep?"
"You weren't asleep, you were double poisoned and passed out."
Gu Sheng As soon as he finished speaking, all the eyes in the room looked at him.
Lan Yao asked eagerly, "Gu Sheng, what did you mean just now? Shi Lou was double poisoned?"
"Yes, this is why Purple Spirit Grass can cure you, but not him."
"Luan Yun's whip is poisonous?"
"The poison is extremely strange. Both poisons should have come from his hands. The two poisons complement each other. Once the body is exposed to the two poisons, the poison effect will be doubled. If it were not for Purple Spirit Grass, Shi Lou would be dead by now."
Hearing this, everyone took a breath.
Er Gou rushed forward and hugged Shi Lou tightly.
"Shi Lou, you can't die! I can't let you go!"
Shi Lou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she raised her hand and patted him on the arm.
"Be gentle, don't Luan Yun you didn't poison me to death, but you strangled me to death."
"I can't bear to leave you."
"Aren't I okay? Why are you reluctant to let go? How do two grown men look like they are hugging each other? Let me go quickly!"
Only under Shi Lou's strong resistance did Er Gou let go.
Lan Yao stepped forward and looked at Shi Lou with guilt in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, it was me who got you into trouble. If you hadn't protected me, you wouldn't have almost lost your life."
Hearing this, Shi Lou smiled.
"Gu Sheng said, we are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite."
"But..."
"Lan Yao, why are you so mother-in-law? You are not a woman, are you?"
After Shi Lou finished speaking, Lan Yao had a dark look on his face.
"I'm serious with you!"
"I'm not kidding you either. I really doubt you now."
Lan Yao's face turned red, and it seemed that he was holding back from attacking him.
"Doubt me? Do you need me to take off my clothes to verify my identity?"
Seeing him reaching for his belt, Shi Lou quickly pulled him.
"Stop, stop, stop, why are you more disgusting than Er Gou."
"Didn't you doubt me first?"
"I'm just kidding."
"Didn't you say you weren't joking?"
"Yes, yes, I was joking, I was wrong."
After hearing this, Lan Yao let go.
"Thank you for this. I will repay your kindness."
"If you want to retaliate, just retaliate. Anyway, you don't regard me as a friend. In your eyes, only Brother Sheng is worthy of being your friend, right?"
"That's not what I meant."
"That's what you mean! I didn't even sacrifice my life to get you as a friend. You are so heart-warming!"
As soon as Shi Lou finished speaking, Lan Yao was speechless.
"I regard you as a friend..."
"Okay, don't mention me as your friend. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not masculine at all."
Being doubted by him again, Lan Yao was about to explode.
"Gu Sheng, do the people around you talk so irritatingly?"
"It's okay."
"Is this okay?"
"I'm used to it, and his suspicion is not unreasonable. You spend all your time mother-in-law..."
Before Gu Sheng could finish speaking, Lan Yao's fist hit his arm.
"Gu Sheng! He's injured and I can't do anything. You and I don't care! If you say one more thing, I can't spare you."
Seeing her shameful and angry look, Gu Sheng laughed.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore, and don't mention the matter of repaying the favor. How is Hundred Poisons Grass's research going?"
"I haven't studied it clearly."
Mentioning this, Lan Yao sighed helplessly.
"Just a few days after you retreated, the master of the Black Fiend Sect Zhang Ping came. After he was defeated and escaped, countless sects swarmed in. In order to protect Stone Village, I have been guarding the edge of Stone Village until today."
After hearing his words, Gu Sheng touched his nose.
"Um... you should know that Stone Village's houses are all made of dark wood, right?"
"I know."
"Then did you know that the gloomy wood will automatically form a protective shield?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao was dumbfounded.
"You mean even if I stay behind closed doors, they can't break in?"
"It seems like that."
Got the answer, Lan Yao has a black line on one end.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"Stone Village There is a lot of news about the Dark Wood, you should know it! And I was in retreat when the sects attacked, so I couldn't communicate with you."
"I know, but I was in such a hurry at the time, how could I care about that?"
When Lan Yao became more and more irritable, Third Elder stood up.
"Gu Sheng, it's my fault. I ignored the defensive power of the Dark Wood. You were in retreat at the time, and Shi Lou and the two of them were breaking through. I wanted to protect you all, but when I saw someone attacking, I became anxious and forgot about it. Lan Yao, this was my negligence. I apologize to you."
Hearing this, Lan Yao waved his hands repeatedly.
"Third Elder, I don't blame you for this. If I do, blame Gu Sheng. He didn't explain it clearly."
"Yes, it's true that I didn't explain it clearly. It's my fault."
Gu Sheng took the matter on himself and said with a smile, "Don't worry about who is to blame, as long as everyone is fine. Now that Purple Cloud Peak has been removed from the world, their heads will be a bit of a deterrent to those who come after, so don't worry too much."
"Gu Sheng, you can ignore other sects, but Black Fiend Sect can't. Zhang Ping holds a grudge and has despicable methods. This kind of person cannot be kept."
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng nodded. "You're right, Zhang Ping really can't stay, but don't worry, his life will be mine sooner or later."
"When you go to the Black Fiend Sect, I will go with you."
"You won't reply to Elf race?"
"No rush."
Gu Sheng didn't ask any more questions and just nodded lightly.
That night, someone came again outside Stone Village, but Gu Sheng and others did not show up.
Sure enough, the numerous heads acted as a deterrent, and those people quickly evacuated.
Hearing the footsteps gradually leaving, Gu Sheng curled his lips.
"It seems this method is effective. If there are people who don't have eyesight again in the future, we will cut off their heads and hang them all outside Stone Village."
After hearing his words, Er Gou rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.
"Brother Sheng, isn't this method too scary? It makes me afraid to get up at night."
"You coward, then pee on the bed."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, everyone laughed.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Third Elder came to Lan Yao and took out a mahogany box from behind.
"Lan Yao, thank you for protecting Stone Village for me this time. This is my little thought. I hope you don't dislike it."
Seeing the box in his hand, Lan Yao waved his hand repeatedly.
"Third Elder, you are too kind."
"I'm not being polite, I'm just being careful. Just keep it."
With that said, Third Elder pushed the box directly into Lan Yao's hand.
Lan Yao wanted to return it, but after feeling the breath in the box, his hand stopped suddenly.
"Third Elder, is this the spiritual root of the spiritual tree?"
Seeing his bright eyes, Third Elder smiled and nodded.
"Exactly, this is what Elder Shi brought back from outside many years ago. Everyone knows it is a good thing, but our Stone Village land is not up to par. There is no response after planting, so we can only treasure it. It is said that Elf race is full of spiritual energy and can nourish all things in the world. It is just right to give this to you, otherwise it would be a waste to put it in my hands."
Hearing this, Lan Yao hesitated.
He knew he shouldn't accept it, but this thing was really tempting to him, which made him extremely conflicted.
Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"Third Elder, just keep it if you give it to you. You're not an outsider, why are you so polite? I haven't seen the spiritual root yet. Open it and show it to me."
Lan Yao nodded and opened the box carefully.
As soon as the box was opened, the aura of the wood element instantly filled the entire space.
Looking at the ordinary-looking tree root, Gu Sheng poked it with his hand.
"Such an ugly thing actually has such strong spiritual power?"
Hearing his words, Lan Yao couldn't laugh or cry.
"Can this thing be distinguished by its beauty? Don't underestimate it just because of its appearance. It looks ordinary, but it actually has great uses."
"What's the use?"
"As long as spiritual roots are planted in a land and the spiritual roots can grow, the place will be full of spiritual energy. As the spiritual roots continue to grow, the spiritual energy will become stronger and stronger. If it is obtained by any sect, the entire disciples of the sect can absorb the spiritual energy to increase their strength. After absorbing it for a few years, the improved strength will be more than ten times greater than their own efforts. Do you think it is a treasure?"
Knowing the purpose of this thing, Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.
"According to you, this thing is considered a treasure, Third Elder. Are you sure this thing can't grow in our Stone Village?"
"Make sure, Elder Shi and I have tried it many times. We have tried all the corners of Stone Village. There is indeed no response."
After getting the same answer again, Gu Sheng sighed.
"It's a pity, now I can only get Lan Yao cheaper."
"Gu Sheng, why are you so stingy!"
"If you're stingy, I won't give it to you."
"You didn't give this to me, Third Elder gave it to me!"
"Don't you want it?"
"Who said I don't want it? I want it!"
With that said, Lan Yao closed the box and put it directly in the bag.
Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng suppressed a smile.
"Lan Yao, can you cultivate this thing and make one of its root systems grow so that we, Stone Village, can grow? Let us also borrow some light."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao really thought about it seriously.
After a while, he said, "It is said that Crimson Wood Peak has a piece of spiritual grass that can nourish all things. No matter what you want to cultivate, as long as it fails, find the spiritual grass and plant it with the thing you want to cultivate, and the thing will grow. Not only that, it will also grow very lushly, and it will work every time."
After he finished speaking, Third Elder stroked his beard and nodded.
"I've heard about this too, but Crimson Wood Peak is too dangerous. Countless people have searched for it, but few have found it."
"Yes, I also heard that this piece of spiritual grass is guarded by a special Daoist. If you are destined to find the spiritual grass, you have to pass his test."
"Yes, decades ago, it was said that Dragon race was found. It was a sensation at the time. I did hear about it."
Listening to what the two said, Gu Sheng became interested.
"Third Elder, have you been to Crimson Wood Peak?"
"I went there for some herbs when I was young, but I just walked around the foot of the mountain and tried my luck. But the place was really too dangerous. Within two days, we encountered wild beasts several times. In order not to lose our lives, we hurried back after finding the herbs. Thinking about it now, it's a pity that we couldn't persevere."
"Third Elder, is that place so dangerous?"
"Yes, there were more than a dozen of us there, but in the end only half of us were able to return."
Third Elder talked about his experiences that year, and everyone was frightened. Only Gu Sheng became more and more interested.
He asked for many details, and Third Elder answered them one by one.
But when Gu Sheng asked for directions, San Zhanglao stopped.
"Gu Sheng, you're going, right?"
Knowing that his thoughts could not be hidden from Third Elder, Gu Sheng nodded.
"I'm very interested in this spiritual grass and want to take a walk."
Hearing this, Third Elder changed his expression.
"No! It's too dangerous there! You can't go!"
"Third Elder, I really want this spiritual grass, because I have absorbed the hundred-year spiritual power of the spiritual beads, but a large part of it exists in my body and cannot be used for my own use. I urgently need something with abundant spiritual energy to help me absorb the spiritual energy. This spiritual grass should be enough, because the spiritual beads are also of the wood type, and the two should complement each other."
"What did you say? You failed to absorb the century-old spiritual energy?"
"Of course, otherwise how could my strength be so weak? Now that a hundred years of spiritual energy exists in my body, but it only takes more than ten years of skill to completely transform it into what I can use. If I want to completely transform it, I still need to think of another way. Third Elder, just tell me!"
Gu Sheng begged for a few words, and Third Elder sighed repeatedly.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Gu Sheng, this matter is too important. Please let me think about it again and let me see if there is any other way."
Knowing not to push too hard, Gu Sheng could only nod.
"Third Elder, then think about it again and tell me when you think about it. I'm waiting for your answer."
