Chapter 19 The Legend of the Soul Saint in the Holy Soul Village
When Zhou Qing and Tang San returned to the Holy Soul Village, they found Old Jack standing at the entrance of the village. His previously cloudy eyes were filled with a bit of clear expectation. .
"Grandpa Jack."
Zhou Qing stepped forward and asked curiously, "Are you waiting for someone?"
"Hello, Grandpa Jack." Tang San also Say hello to him.
"It's Xiaoqing and Xiaosan."
Old Jack laughed at first, but when he noticed the water stains on the two people's bodies, he knew that they went to play by the stream. His seriousness instantly covered his original smiling face, "You guys Don't go play in the water, the river can There is a big turtle that can eat people, and it only eats children.”
“That...”
Zhou Qing didn’t know how to make excuses, and it was impossible to say, That big turtle has adapted to his and Tang San's existence, right?
If you tell me, Old Jack will definitely not believe it.
But Tang San found an excuse and said: "Grandpa Jack, we just went to the stream to check the situation. We need water for blacksmithing at home. My father is lazy, and I am still young and have little strength, so I thought, if We can dig a small channel through the blacksmith shop later, which will make it much more convenient to fetch water.”
Actually, this is not entirely an excuse.
With Zhou Qing as his peer, Tang San already had some trivial opinions about Tang Hao, and even had plans to set up his own business.
Hidden weapon···
Soul guidance inscription···
Studying these requires a private space.
Now Tang San's inner strength cultivation has almost reached the bottleneck of the first level of Xuantian Gong. In terms of soul power, it is already infinitely close to the tenth level.
This is thanks to the big white carp that became a soul beast and the "spirit gathering" effect of the aura turtle.
So.
Before awakening his martial soul, Tang San had no way to obtain a soul ring. If he wanted to further improve his strength, he would naturally have to make preparations elsewhere, such as the improvement and research of hidden weapons.
In order to truly enter the soul master world of Douluo Continent in the future, Tang San felt that he must be completely prepared, and he even needed to prepare one for Zhou Qing.
Now that he can wield the forging hammer, he spent the remaining nearly two years building his own forging room with Zhou Qing, studying hidden weapons and soul guidance inscriptions, and preparing for the future as a soul master. Make adequate preparations for the situation.
“ε=(ο｀*)))Alas!”
Old Jack’s brows softened and he said with a smile, “You are a good and filial boy, it’s your father...forget it , I won’t say anything anymore. I will try to persuade him later to see if I can get him to find a job in Notting City. , when you awaken your martial soul in the future, if you have soul power and the hope of becoming a soul master, you don’t have to worry about food and drink. Being a soul master is very expensive..."
said As a soul master, Old Jack was very talkative and even talked about the soul saint in Holy Soul Village.
This story.
This was the first time Tang San heard it.
In the past, he only heard from the villagers that a Soul Saint came out of Holy Soul Village, but now, Old Jack said it in more detail.
But Zhou Qing is familiar with the legend about the Soul Saint of Holy Soul Village——
The Soul Saint of Holy Soul Village has a history of more than two hundred years, and its martial arts The soul is a strange small tree with a black trunk and gem-like leaves, and has innate sixth-level soul power.
When he reached the realm of Soul Saint, he was already over eighty years old. He returned to Holy Soul Village, changed the village's name to Holy Soul Village, and then left the village.
It is said that he is going to retreat to break through to the Contra realm.
But there has been no news for more than two hundred years, and even the Wuhun Palace can't find out where he went.
This is actually a relatively normal situation. In order to break through the realm, some soul masters venture into deep mountains and forests to seek treasures, and then disappear.
The same is true for the Soul Saint who comes to Holy Soul Village.
After listening to Old Jack's story again, Zhou Qing thought of the appearance of the sapling on the Ling Yun Turtle, and suddenly grasped the key point: Soul Saint's martial spirit is a strange small tree with a black trunk and dazzling leaves like gems.
This description is almost the same as the unknown plant on the back of the aura turtle!
Black tree trunk. The trunk of that plant is indeed black!
Dazzling jewel-like leaves.
The leaves of that plant are indeed more beautiful than the leaves of ordinary plants. They are very smooth to the touch and can vaguely reflect some light under the sunlight.
[Perhaps it is not an accident that the Spirit Turtle will exist near the Holy Soul Village...]
Zhou Qing immediately asked old Jack: "Grandpa Jack, what about What is the name of the soul saint’s martial spirit?”
“I don’t know. When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that the soul saint didn’t know what his martial spirit was. What kind of tree? Maybe he was also looking for saplings that were the same as his martial soul during the adventure, haha." Old Jack thought about it for a while before shaking his head, "Speaking of which, the situation of the soul saint is different from yours. Almost, he didn’t live in Holy Soul Village from the beginning...but he is also from Holy Soul Village!”
“Hey——”
Old Jack sighed again.
What is the situation of the children in Holy Soul Village? Old Jack actually understands that if the ancestors did not have any outstanding martial arts spirits, the children's martial arts spirits will definitely not be much better.
If a child with an awakened innate martial spirit could appear in the Holy Soul Village in the future, then Old Jack felt that the most likely person would be Tang San.
The reason is simple, Tang San is from outside.
For other children, we can only see whether the martial soul can mutate when it awakens.
"So that's it."
Where the Soul Saint from two hundred years ago came from is no longer clear, but Zhou Qing felt that the other party probably died near the Holy Soul Village.
After all, when he was about to break through to Contra, he returned to Holy Soul Village and told the village chief at the time such a thing, which proved that he himself was not sure and was ready to die.
"By the way, Grandpa Jack, what are you doing at the entrance of the village?" Tang San brought the topic back to the matter of old Jack staying at the entrance of the village.
“Waiting for the soul master from Wuhun Palace.”
A smile reappeared on the corner of Old Jack's mouth, "Today is the big day for the six-year-old children in the village to awaken their martial arts souls. Naturally, I have to come to greet you."
Although I know that there is a high probability that there will be no innate souls. Although he is a powerful child, old Jack is still full of expectations.
What if?
As long as a child can awaken his martial soul and possess innate soul power, he can hope to become a soul master, and then he can become a big shot.
In this way, the village will be noticed by the important people in the Wuhun Palace and the City Lord's Mansion, and it will receive more and more benefits, and the village will continue to grow.
Zhou Qing also understood that this method was the development model of small villages in Douluo Continent.
Even if there is a child in a village who awakens his innate soul power every year, then the Wuhun branch hall and the city lord's palace in the local province and city will offer condolences in their own way.
The city lord of the city lord's palace will reduce or exempt the village's agricultural tax, and even send a batch of food every year to ensure that the village will not be unable to survive due to natural disasters such as locust plagues, droughts, and rains. things happen.
The Wuhun Palace will arrange some elderly people in such villages who are wifeless, childless, and daughterless, who do not like the prosperity of the city and want to attach themselves to the mountains and rivers, or who are injured and unable to fight. The retired people who were working in Wuhun Palace went over.
In this way, it can not only help the villages to build better, but also make the children in such villages have a better impression of Wuhun Temple.
As for whether there are other political purposes...
Zhou Qing is not sure.
But at least at this point, neither the Tiandou Empire nor the Star Luo Empire can say anything wrong with Wuhun Palace, and they even need to accept the favor of Wuhun Palace.
After all, these villages still belong to the two empires.
In this matter, Wuhundian does not ask for anything in return and helps for free!
