Chapter 23: The Land Where the Soul Saint Fell
Seeing no response from inside the house, Zhou Qing kicked it.
boom!
The moment the door opened, Zhou Qing immediately stepped back and lay down.
The whole process was done in one go.
Tang San said speechlessly: "What are you doing?"
"Is there no mechanism inside?"
Zhou Qing looked up and could only see the diffuse smoke and dust. He immediately stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said seriously: "I am being cautious."
Ignoring Zhou Qing's funny behavior, Tang San walked straight in.
organ?
As a disciple of the Tang Clan in his previous life, how could he not see it?
The only danger here may be that there is too much dust, and if you breathe too fast, you may cause severe coughing.
Zhou Qing was a little embarrassed, but still followed Tang San, walked in, and looked around.
The interior space of this "small castle" is really only slightly larger than his house and can be roughly divided into four areas: kitchen, bedroom, study, and the living room where they are currently.
On the bed in the bedroom, Zhou Qing found a skeleton. The clothes on its body had been torn into pieces, leaving only a small gray bag. The bed, wardrobe and other items had also rotted.
"Is this the Soul Saint of the Holy Soul Village?" Tang San gently touched the bedside table, and the bedside table creaked, collapsed to the ground, and broke into pieces.
In this situation, it doesn't look like there is anything valuable left behind.
Zhou Qing picked up the gray fist-sized bag that was placed at the skeleton's waist, squeezed it, and found it was quite soft, but no matter how hard he pulled the top, he couldn't open it.
[Storage Soul Guide! ]
This is the first thought that popped into my mind.
Through the books at home, Zhou Qing also learned something about soul guides. Life-use soul guides were quite common among some nobles and soul master families, but storage soul guides were rare.
In the market, storage soul guides are called "antiques". Each storage soul guide is worth a lot of money. A storage soul guide with half a cubic meter of space is worth more than ten thousand gold soul coins!
Among the soul masters in Notting City, no matter in the Wuhun Branch Hall or the City Lord’s Mansion, none of them possesses a storage soul guide device. However, there is also a soul master in Notting City who possesses a storage soul guide device: Yu Xiaogang.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing handed the bag to Tang San and asked, "Take a look, can you open it? What's inside?"
Tang San took it, rubbed it, and squeezed it, finding it was indeed quite soft. He guessed, "It should contain spices or something like that."
In Tang San's opinion, this should be a scent bag native to Douluo Continent, used to contain odors. It is filled with herbs that can emit fragrance, and then filled with cotton wool or something like that.
Anyway, it doesn't feel like there are soul coins there.
“But the size of this bag is also suitable for storing soul coins.” Tang San said, and began to tear the bag, but found that it was very sturdy.
"Ok?"
Tang San became interested, picked up the bamboo leaf dart, and began to cut the rope above the bag, but after rubbing for a long time, a row of gaps appeared on the blade of the bamboo leaf dart, while the rope at the mouth of the bag was intact.
"Can't open it?"
Zhou Qing naturally knew how to open it, and Tang San was the only one on the scene who could open it. After all, Tang San possessed the internal strength cultivated from the Xuan Tian Gong.
But he hadn't realized that he needed to use his inner strength to open it, and he was still using brute force to violently destroy the gray bag. "It's a bit troublesome." Tang San was puzzled. He didn't understand why the bag couldn't be opened, and he couldn't figure out why such a small bag was so strong? Even if the bag and the rope were made of special extremely ductile metal wire, what kind of mechanism could be installed in this soft bag?
Really weird!
"Then leave it here with me first." Zhou Qing took the bag and thought, "This thing might be a soul guide. When we get back, help me check it out."
This gave Tang San a hint that to open the bag, he needed soul power, that is, internal force.
“This is the only way.” When Tang San heard the word “soul guide”, he realized, just as Zhou Qing had imagined, that to open this thing, he might need to use his internal force. However, he had not yet awakened his martial soul, and suddenly using internal force would be against the common sense of this world.
[I have to find a reason...]
Glancing at the skeleton on the bed, Tang San suddenly felt that he could make something of this thing...
During this process, Zhou Qing, who was always paying attention to Tang San, also noticed that Tang San was staring at the skeleton for a while, and he couldn't help but feel relieved: Very good, at least Tang San didn't think of stealing this small bag directly from me later...
Afterwards, Zhou Qing casually threw the bag onto a desk near the bedroom window.
Snapped!
The table was just like the bedside table before, already rotten and unable to withstand any damage, and was broken in an instant by the bag.
resignedly.
Zhou Qing could only pick up the bag and put it on the windowsill, then called Tang San to wrap up the skeleton, take them to the forest outside, dig a hole, and bury it.
"Senior Soul Saint of the Holy Soul Village, we will bury you and let you rest in peace. Then, the place where you were in seclusion will belong to us. If you don't answer, it will be regarded as your agreement." Zhou Qing said with great confidence.
The corner of Tang San's eye twitched, and he realized that he had never noticed that Zhou Qing had such a "rogue" side before.
But now he has also boarded the pirate ship and can only follow along.
So Tang San knelt down and kowtowed.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing was stunned and thought to himself: Why didn’t I realize that Tang San was so stubborn before?
But then, Zhou Qing discovered that Tang San had been crawling on the ground for a little too long.
"I thought I was boastful enough." Zhou Qing pulled Tang San up with a strange look on his face.
"At that moment just now, my head was a little dizzy. That senior seemed to pass on something to me." Tang San frowned, but then he was relieved and regained his composure. "But it doesn't matter. Maybe I was hallucinating."
"That's quite mysterious." Zhou Qing seemed to realize why Tang San had a seizure just now and had to resort to the story of gods and ghosts!
This also made Zhou Qing's heart beat three times faster, but he couldn't help it. He took Tang San back to the small house and started cleaning, clearing out all the broken furniture.
"it's a pity!"
The books placed in the study have become dry and cracked due to being stored for too long. They will break if touched lightly and cannot be read at all.
Zhou Qing and Tang San could only clean up the "book dust".
But when moving the bookshelf, a strange animal skin fell out of it.
"what?"
Zhou Qing picked up the animal skin and found a map engraved on it, covering the Tiandou Empire, Xingluo Empire, Xingdou Great Forest, Sunset Forest, Far North Land, Far South Land, etc. on the Douluo Continent.
Although the exact location of each area is not fully marked in detail, and some soul beast forests are not even named, it does cover the general outline of the entire continent.
There is also a red line on this map, which outlines a location on the southwest coast of the Star Luo Empire and a red "X" is marked there.
"What kind of map is this?" Tang San came closer and looked at the map curiously.
