Chapter 57 - Soul Contact
Zhang Xiaoloong took a deep breath. He took off his shirt and covered Yang Jingjing's legs with it. Then he turned around and groped under the shirt. He wrapped her with a piece of cloth again.
“I don't know if there will be a scar.” Seeing the serious look on the other person's face, Yang Jingjing did not tease him anymore. She felt that the wound was not that painful anymore and began to worry about the scar.
Girls loved to be beautiful. No one wanted to leave a scar that could not be removed on their body.
“No,” Zhang Xiaoloong casually replied. “Besides, other people can't see that place.”
“Then you saw it. Do you want to marry me?” Yang Jingjing rolled her eyes at him.
Zhang Xiaoloong could only scratch his head. “I was doing that to apply medicine for you. Besides, it was nothing…”
Although it was not a secret territory, when he said this, Zhang Xiaoloong seemed to see that patch of white in front of his eyes again, and his heart started to heat up.
“Oh right, come and see us find these treasures!” Zhang Xiaoloong changed the topic and pointed to a few stalks of grass in the distance.
Yang Jingjing followed the direction of the finger and saw that it was the stalk of grass that the other party had applied on her just now, but there were a few bigger ones inside.
Especially the innermost stalk. It looked to be bigger than the ones outside. Its shape was like a small pine tree that was several times smaller. It seemed to be the king of these herbs.
“What kind of herb is this? It seems to be very useful.” Yang Jingjing asked curiously.
Along the way, she had been guessing what she was looking for. Now that the thing was right in front of her eyes, she actually did not recognize it at all.
“This is a good thing, Nine Deaths Soul Returning Grass.” Zhang Xiaoloong said with a mysterious smile.
“Let me ask you something serious.” Yang Jingjing said angrily.
She had made such an obvious hint just now, but this idiot did not react. What a blockhead.
“What I said is also a serious matter. It really is a Nine Deaths Soul Returning Grass. I don't know if it can be revived or not, but it is indeed a very good hemostatic and external medicine.” Zhang Xiaoloong hurriedly explained.
Only then did Yang Jingjing believe it. She walked closer to take a look and felt that this thing was very beautiful. “Are you going to move these Nine Death Soul Returning Grass back to the greenhouse to be raised?”
Zhang Xiaoloong shook his head. “I came this time to try my luck. I want to see if I can find this kind of herb. Although we have found it now, we can't bring it all back. Otherwise, the roots of this wild Nine Dead Soul Returning Grass will be broken. We just need to pick two of them and bring them back. It'll be fine as long as we raise them.”
“You said that wasteland has no life force. Could it be that by planting this kind of medicinal plant, there will be life force?” Yang Jingjing still did not understand what kind of effects these medicinal plants would have.
She also knew that those lands were very desolate, but she still did not believe that just planting two stalks of grass could completely change it. It was a little too mysterious.
“The vitality of the Nine Deaths Resurrection Grass is very tenacious. They usually grow in this kind of stone gap. Some of them even grow in places where even grass can't grow. This is their vitality. With them, it will definitely be able to suppress the death Qi in that place.” Zhang Xiaoloong smiled. “As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. In the future, the vegetables in our vegetable field will… There must be such a vigorous life force as well.”
“I didn't know you were so superstitious!” Yang Jingjing did not believe it at all.
In her opinion, this was more like the symbolic meaning of getting a good prize when they were doing business. The actual meaning was not something she could say.
Zhang Xiaoloong did not care. There was no way to tell others about life and death. If it was in the past, he would not believe it either.
However, it was different now. He could clearly feel the death Qi in the ground. If he used something, nothing would grow. Even if he used his Divine Power to catalyze it, it would be half the work.
Knowing this situation, he naturally had to think of a way. The Nine Death Soul Returning Grass was full of life force, and the most important thing was that it was most suitable for him to use his Divine Power to expel the death Qi.
There was no way to explain this to Yang Jingjing, so she simply used the excuse of “Birds of a feather flock together.” It was superstitious then. Anyway, after obtaining the Shennong Tripod, his view of many things had changed.
He repeatedly sized up the few stalks of Nine Death Soul Returning Grass. Other than the ordinary ones, there were also nine stalks that were somewhat special.
Zhang Xiaoloong only smelled the clear fragrance within and immediately thought of the age of these herbs. There were four stalks that were about thirty years old and two that were fifty years old. Two of them were over a hundred years old, and the last one was left. Two hundred years had passed, and just one of them was enough to cover a large area. It was like holding a small umbrella.
“Since you want the ‘mansion', then you have to choose the biggest one. Let's just dig it up, right?” Yang Jingjing asked.
Although she did not really believe in the mysterious effects of this thing, since she came here and encountered the legendary medicinal herb, she definitely had to bring back two stalks.
According to normal thinking, she would naturally bring back the one who was the oldest and had the most medicinal properties back. As for the rest, she would let them slowly grow again.
“No, we should find two smaller stalks. That Nine Deaths Soul Rejuvenating Grass is the king of this place, and it has grown for two hundred years. Since it has spiritual energy, let's not disturb it. With it, the other Nine Death Soul Returning Grass will grow even better.” Zhang Xiaoloong reached out his hand to touch it. He touched the Soul Returning Grass King's leaf and said.
Yang Jingjing was about to say that Zhang Xiaoloong was superstitious when she suddenly noticed that the Soul Returning Grass King was shaking.
There was no wind at all where they were. Even if there was wind, it was impossible for only one Soul Returning Grass to move, and nothing else.
“What's going on?” Yang Jingjing was so scared that she shrank to Zhang Xiaoloong's side and tightly grabbed his arm.
“It's fine.” Zhang Xiaoloong comforted him and turned to look at the Soul Returning Grass King.
This was also the first time he had seen such a wonderful thing, as if he could feel the emotions of the Soul Returning Grass King.
“You want to leave with me?” Zhang Xiaoloong touched the other's branches and leaves once more and asked, “If that's the case, you should answer me again.”
Sure enough, that Soul Returning Grass King began to tremble again. The rustling sound was extremely cheerful, as if the child had found his own mother.
Yang Jingjing's eyes widened. She was sure that this was definitely not a joke from Zhang Xiaoloong, because Zhang Xiaoloong was right beside her. The two of them didn't have the slightest contact with the medicinal plant right now, only that Soul Returning Grass King was trembling by itself.
“But this is the most suitable environment for you.” After getting confirmation, Zhang Xiaoloong hesitated. “You heard it too. I'm going to move you into a greenhouse. I can't guarantee that I can borrow your life force. You can live well there.”
The Soul Returning Grass King began to tremble again. This time, it was slightly slow, as if a person was earnestly expressing his wish.
“It… what did it say?” Although it was a little unbelievable, Yang Jingjing already believed that Zhang Xiaoloong was indeed communicating with this Soul Returning Grass King.
Could this be the exchange of souls?
