Chapter 206 Body Changes
Late at night, there was no sound in the whole room except for the snoring of Taoist Yangwei.
When I sat cross-legged on the bed and concentrated on feeling the existence of the Qi in my body, Princess Aogu's voice suddenly sounded and came into my ears:
"Wang Cheng, do you still remember what you promised me?"
"What's the matter?" I was stunned by her sudden question and didn't react at the moment.
Princess Aogu then said to me:
"You promised me to do three things for me, do you still remember?"
After hearing what Princess Agu said, I remembered that because she had helped her several times before, I did promise to help her with three things, but the premise was that it was within my ability.
She hadn't mentioned this for a long time. If she hadn't told me suddenly, I would have thought she had forgotten it.
So I nodded and said:
"Yes, what's wrong? Do you need my help now if you have anything?"
"When will you take some time to go back to the village and help me find something from the ancient tomb and take it out for me?" said Princess Agu.
Hearing this, I understood that she wanted me to take her back to the ancient tomb in Sanhegou. I have been there before. I have been familiar with each other and have a little exploring. It is not difficult to find the ancient tomb.
Logically, I can help her do this.
But there is one thing I can't figure out. Since Princess Agu wants to go back to the tomb to get something, why did she drag it until now to let me go? Also, what is she want? What to use for?
Thinking of this, I asked Princess Agu directly:
"Princess Aug, can I ask, what do you want to get in the tomb?"
"No!!" Princess Agu said firmly.
I didn't have to say much after hearing this, and I'll know it when the time comes. And I can only agree:
"Okay, I can promise you, but can we delay this matter for a few days? If I'm not in a hurry, I want to take care of the injuries on my body first, and then help Old Man Qian handle his daughter's matter. After the problem is solved, I will go back to help you get the things. What do you think?"
Things must be done one by one, so don’t be anxious, otherwise it will not only be of no benefit, but maybe everything will be ruined.
So now we will discuss it with Princess Aogu so that things will not get together and become a mess.
This Princess Agu understood me, and her voice came into my ears with a light voice:
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." After Princess Agu said this, she no longer had a sound.
I slowly opened my eyes and let out a long breath. Every time this Princess Agu talked to me, she always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
I looked down at the time on the watch, and then I realized that it was already 1:30 in the morning and it was time to rest.
Just as I was about to lie down to sleep, something suddenly flashed through my mind.
This thing is the black dagger I picked up in the cave before.
Until now, I don’t have time to find it out of my backpack and study it carefully. I just happened to take advantage of the moment that I can’t sleep myself. If I have time, I can find it out.
Thinking of this, I immediately got out of bed and found the black dagger from my carry-on backpack.
This dagger is much heavier than usual, although it only has a black knife handle. When you touch it with your hands, it feels cold and uneven, as if it is covered by a layer of black mud.
This dagger was found in the Demon Cave, and it is definitely not an ordinary dagger, so I plan to use a scraper to scrape off a layer of black unknown object on it to see the true face of Mount Lu.
I took out the scraper and placed it on the handle. I first scraped it gently. Who knew that with a slight scrape, all the black objects on it were scattered on the ground with the scraper.
Seeing this, I speeded up and scraped off all the black objects on it with a scraper bit by bit.
After all the black objects on it were scraped off, the exposed knife handle was still black.
However, this black layer obviously has a layer of light that looks very shiny than just now. It feels very shiny. When you touch it with your hands, the uneven feeling is gone and it is slippery, as if you touch a piece of slippery ice cube. You can't tell what material it is made of.
This surprised me. After the dagger revealed its "true appearance", there was no trace of history on it at all. Based on my current knowledge, I can't tell which dynasty it was created.
But after looking at it for a while, I found that there was no sign of breaking at the front of the dagger. Strangely, there was also a black flat blade exit, which indicated that the dagger was not broken, but the blade was put into the dagger's handle.
But I searched for a long time but couldn't find the mechanism on the dagger.
Seeing that it was getting late, in order not to delay getting up early tomorrow to get water, I temporarily put the dagger back in my backpack and continued to study when I have time.
Lying back on the wooden bed, closing your eyes and trying to make yourself empty and think about nothing, just go to bed.
But even so, I tossed and turned for a long time before I fell asleep...
When I woke up the next morning, I opened my eyes and found that Taoist Yangwei, who should have been sleeping beside me, was no longer there. I turned over and was about to get up, but I saw Master Jiuyan standing in front of my bed, staring at me coldly, which made me tremble.
"Master, early." I said good morning to him with embarrassment. I got up later than Master, so I made a review in my heart.
When he saw me awake, he spoke directly:
"Master Wang Cheng, you have finally woken up. Let's have lunch?"
After hearing what my master said, I quickly looked down at the time on the watch, and then I saw that it was already past eleven o'clock in the afternoon and my face suddenly seemed to be burning.
I immediately got dressed and got out of bed, and explained to my master ashamed:
"Master, I... I had insomnia last night, so I would definitely not get up so late in the future." While apologizing, I was also scolding Taoist Yangwei in my heart for being unscrupulous. I got up by myself, and didn't know how to shout me up.
The master looked at me and said sternly:
"Wang Cheng, I don't need to hear any explanation. If I do something wrong, I have to admit it. I have to stand up straight when I get beaten."
"Yes, Master, what you said is right. I did something wrong. I accept it no matter how you punish me." I looked at Master and said.
Master Jiuyan turned around and pointed at the outsider:
"Today I will give you half a day to fill the water tank in the garden. Remember, you are here to practice, not here for vacation."
Master is a very well-educated person. Even if he is angry, his tone of speaking is not too excessive.
I agreed, ran out immediately, came to the back garden, picked up the bucket and ran outside.
I didn't dare to stop every second, and poured the water into the water tank one after another, slept until that point, and didn't wash my face after getting up. Even Sister Qimeng came over several times and called me for lunch, I didn't care about going to eat, because I was afraid of delaying it.
But while I kept fetching water, I also clearly felt the difference from yesterday.
Yesterday I filled the wooden barrel with water. When I ran back, it would be good if I could have one-third of the water left in the bucket.
But today, every time I come back, there is at least half of the water left in the bucket.
This is a result of twice the result with half the effort for me to complete the task.
But I also secretly guessed in my heart: Could it be that the master was worried about the wound on my body, so he changed to a bucket with less leakage?
But after running a few times, I felt that it was not the problem with this bucket. The bucket had not changed at all, but my body had changed unknowingly.
The most direct change is the physical strength and running speed. If I had been yesterday, after so many trips, I would have to take a break.
And today, so far, I haven't been so tired that I immediately wanted to sit on the ground and rest yesterday.
After so many trips, it seems that I don’t take much effort.
