C370 A Letter
Tang Ruo and Tang Nuolu were from the same sect, and they had a deep relationship. Tang Ruo still wanted to help him. However, as soon as he moved, he felt a hand grab his shoulder. He immediately stopped. He knew that it was Tang Huzhou who stopped him, and he could feel Tang Huzhou's hand trembling slightly. He didn't know whether it was because the battle had consumed too much energy, or because Tang Nuolu's current condition had stirred his mind.
One should know that Tang Ruo, Tang Nuolu, and Tang Xiao were on a completely different level from the other disciples. They were all direct disciples of Tang University. To be able to walk the martial arts world, it could be said that they were the backbone of the Tang Sect in the future.
Tang Huzhou, Tang Fuliu, and the others would eventually grow old. In the future, the responsibility of maintaining the Tang Sect's glory for a long time would be placed on their shoulders. That was why Tang Xueguang and the others' deaths were not taken seriously by Tang Huzhou and the others. Tang Nuolu, on the other hand, saw that there was no way to save them. Tang Huzhou's duty to take care of them was still a small matter. The painstaking efforts of Tang Sect to nurture such a person who could become the future leader made him feel even more distressed.
Tang Nuolu's mind had obviously been destroyed. Because they had experienced the tempering they had to go through in the past, even when their limbs had been severed. Even if their spines were cut off, they would not show weakness and ask for help. Using poison to destroy the will of the people of Tang Sect sounded ridiculous. However, it made Tang Huzhou, Tang Fuliu, and the others shiver in fear. Because they didn't even know how Tang Nuolu was poisoned, let alone what kind of poison he was poisoned with.
Maybe it was because Tang Nuolu had run out of oil, but he suddenly seemed to have regained some clarity of mind. His eyes no longer had the pleading look, but a kind of endless sorrow. Some of them had cultivated countless poison skills in their short lives, but in the end, they were poisoned to death. What kind of sorrow was that?
Tang Nuolu died before he could succeed. After all, he was Tang Da's disciple. He looked at Tang Ruo with a kind of entrusting look in his eyes. There was also a kind of relief in his eyes. He indicated something, then his whole body shook. He closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
Everyone knew that he had gone. If the people of the Tang Sect wanted to kill someone, they would do it without hesitation. This was also applicable to them.
Hai Pingtao was still thinking about how to deal with the five people of Tang Sect. If he couldn't do it, he would have to use a killing move that would cause both sides to suffer heavy losses. He had let Hai Jianzi escape by himself. However, that was his last resort, and he wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary. Because there was still the existence of the red monster in the dense forest, even the letter that lured him here might be a trap set by the Tang Sect. He had to capture the Witch Door Sect in one fell swoop, otherwise, why would only two people on his side die? The other party was still in perfect condition.
But now, could it be that this was a ploy to make him suffer? Tang Nuolu had died under the poison of his own family? No matter what, he felt that the price was too great! And looking at the expressions of Tang Huzhou and the others, it did not seem like they were faking it.
At this time, Tang Huzhou said with a hoarse voice, "Sect Master Hai, we have always been teased by others. Some people hope that we will both suffer losses and then be defeated one by one. At this point, we are the only ones who can fight against them together. Only then will we have the chance to avenge our friends and disciples. Otherwise, I'm afraid that none of us will have the chance to leave this Loyalty Trapped Valley."
Tang Huzhou's words had completely dispelled Hai Pingtao's doubts. The few of them no longer cared about Tang Liangqin, who was pierced through the strange tree branch, and gathered at the other end of the pond. Tang Fuliu was on guard with Tang Ruo, Tang Qi, and Hai Jianzi, while Hai Pingtao and Tang Huzhou were on guard for the first time in their lives. Perhaps it was the last time they were so close to each other, whispering something to each other without alerting each other.
After a while, Tang Huzhou coughed lightly. Everyone knew that the two big shots had come to an agreement. As expected, Tang Huzhou said softly, "Currently, there are only six of us left. Each of us is injured and exhausted. Perhaps some of us still don't know what we are fighting for. Before we came here, we were just stating that there are treasures here. It's not impossible to say that. However, it's still far from all of them."
Tang Ruo, Hai Jianzi, and the others knew that it must be something extremely unusual when Tang Huzhou spoke about all of this at this moment. They were vigilant and listening attentively at the same time.
" All of this has to start with a letter. " Tang Huzhou said as he slightly raised his head and narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling right now.
"I didn't even see that letter. I only heard about it from second elder brother's description. The main reason was that this Loyalty Trapped Valley was the burial place of the ancient Great Sovereign, the Flame Emperor. The Shennong Whip that he had been living with for so many years should be able to see the light of day once again.
The letter was full of certainty, saying that it had solved the unsolved mystery for thousands of years. Back then, Emperor Shennong was also the Flame Emperor. He had helped resolve the suffering of the people. After personally tasting the Hundred Herbs, he had tried many highly toxic herbs to ensure that they were safe and sound. But in the end, why had he eaten the Heartbroken Grass and died from the poison?
Although the Shennong Whip was unable to determine whether the Hundred Herbs were poisonous or not, it had a miraculous detoxification effect. No matter how poisonous the grass was, as long as the Shennong Whip was placed under his nose... The poison would naturally be sucked away by the Shennong Whip.
You have to know, most of the herbs we use to treat illnesses and save people are more or less toxic. Emperor Shennong helped the people in the world find more useful herbs and prescriptions. As he continuously tried new herbs and prescriptions, he absorbed more and more toxins from the Shennong Whip. As he immersed himself in this research, he did not know that the Shennong Whip's absorption power also had a limit.
Until the day he tasted the Heartbroken Grass, the poison that the Shennong Whip had absorbed was already overflowing. It was no longer able to help his master. The poison of the Heartbroken Grass has triggered all sorts of residual toxins in Emperor Shennong's body. An outstanding leader of the ancient generation died in the position of a medical explorer for humanity. "
Why did Hai Jianzi feel a little awkward listening to Tang Wu's words? Tang Ruo and the others were already used to it. Old Master Tang Huzhou, it's alright to speak less. Once he spoke too much, it was easy for him to deviate. Anyway, everyone was already used to it.
"The death of the Great Sovereign is a tragedy for the whole world. The world will bury him at the place he was born. As for the Shennong Whip, it had its own intelligence and divine power, so it naturally stayed by his side. After the person who buried the Emperor left, the Shennong Whip's divine power manifested. It began to spit out the poison in its body. From now on, the Loyalty Trapped Valley of Void Trapped Mountain has become a forbidden place in the human world."
Everyone was listening to it in a mystical way. Those who knew Tang Huzhou well, like Tang Ruo and the others, were thinking in their hearts, Is this really written in the letter? I think it's most likely your imagination, right?
