Chapter 102
That night, Doctor Long came to see Jitang.
He had been studying the poison in Ji Tang's body for two months, and only tonight did he tell her with certainty, "The poison you're infected with is indeed the same as the Dragon Lord's."
Ji Tang was mentally prepared, but Su Jinzhou seemed more panicked.
After the Dragon Doctor confirmed the poison in Jitang's body, he planned to treat Jitang in the same way as he treated the Dragon Lord.
He left temporarily to refine pills with other dragon doctors, leaving only the two brothers and sisters in the room.
Su Jinzhou paced back and forth in front of her. Ji Tang watched for a while before pulling him to the bedside.
"Brother, I feel dizzy."
Su Jinzhou didn't bother talking to her about this. "Have you never felt any discomfort in your body?"
This was Jitang’s previous reply to Long Yi. It seems that Su Jinzhou still refused to give up.
She nodded: "Indeed not. Didn't Doctor Long also say that the amount of poison in my body was very low? Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so long to confirm that it was poison."
Su Jinzhou couldn't let go of his worries. "From now on, if you feel any discomfort, you must tell me!"
Jitang casually pointed at his legs and asked, "Does numb legs count?"
Su Jinzhou stepped back and rubbed her legs. "It's possible that the poison has affected her legs."
Ji Tang bent her legs, she felt uncomfortable being pressed.
She never felt it before, but after the dream, she began to avoid physical contact between the two of them. She couldn't tell whether it was out of embarrassment or shyness.
"Don't move." Su Jinzhou pressed his palms on her knees, pushing her legs back onto the bed. "Don't act like nothing happened. You know exactly what Senior Sturgeon Shark King Beast and the Dragon Lord are like."
"It's you, Senior Brother, who's making a big deal out of nothing."
As he spoke, Su Jinzhou had already lifted Jitang's legs onto his own legs. He was very patient, massaging Jitang inch by inch until she almost had goose bumps.
Jitang shrank back and said, "Brother, I'm not numb anymore. You don't need to press it."
Su Jinzhou grabbed her ankle and asked, "Do you remember what I just said?"
Ji Tang nodded obediently, "Remember, I'll tell you if I feel uncomfortable."
Su Jinzhou then let her go. She quickly retracted her legs and hid under the thin quilt.
An hour and a half later, Doctor Long brought the pills.
Jitang drank it with water and lay on the bed in a daze.
Su Jinzhou: "The pill contains herbs that promote sleep. Have a good sleep."
Ji Tang half-closed his eyes and said, "I understand."
Ji Tang fell asleep quickly. Su Jinzhou listened to her shallow breathing and sat down beside her quietly.
The candle on the table burned steadily.
The entire cave was protected by Su Jinzhou's spiritual power. The cold wind from the top of the mountain could not blow in. The temperature inside was slightly cool. Covered with a thin blanket, the temperature was just right for rest.
He took something out of his storage bag.
If Ji Tang was still awake, she would find that it was the magic weapon she used during her time as Nightmare Lord, the Broken Golden Bone Whip.
The Nightmare Lord's treasures in the Qianli Yanbo Magic Cave were not all of his collection, he also carried some with him.
He held the bone whip in one hand and used the other hand to stroke the protruding joints.
He heard from Doctor Long that the nightmare energy stored in Jitang's dantian was enough to form a pill. Forming a pill was no small matter. If Jitang needed more nightmare energy, these would come in handy.
It was originally her nightmare energy, so there was no need for transformation and it would be absorbed very smoothly.
Su Jinzhou held the bone whip, intending to ask Ji Tang after she woke up.
He closed his eyes and rested, the cave was so quiet that only his breathing could be heard.
After a long time, a faint black line appeared on Su Jinzhou's wrist.
The black line appeared silently, and Su Jinzhou didn't feel anything and didn't notice it.
After Su Jinzhou was determined to eliminate it, the inner demon's appearances had become less frequent. It had learned to hide and endure, and this time it had appeared while Su Jinzhou was resting.
The inner demon emitted a faint black light, and the aura of the Nightmare Lord on the bone whip was attracted by it and gradually floated to the front of the black light.
The next moment the two energies merged together.
The black light instantly penetrated into Su Jinzhou's body.
On the bed, Ji Tang, who was sleeping, turned his body restlessly, his brows slightly furrowed.
She slept very uneasily. Her nightmares always occurred in other people's dreams, but she rarely dreamed herself.
She seemed to know she was dreaming, but she couldn't wake up and continued to follow the scenes in the dream. One moment she was the person in the dream, and the next she became a bystander.
This dream had no beginning or end. She didn't know when the chaotic dream ended, and then she entered another dream.
She found herself in a sea of smoke and her feelings suddenly became real.
This feeling is no longer empty, it feels like I have really returned to the vast sea of smoke.
"Jitang?"
When Ji Tang heard the voice, she turned around and saw Su Jinzhou not far behind her.
He looked equally surprised and confused.
Ji Tang then realized that she had entered her senior brother's dream?
While he was still thinking, Su Jinzhou had already arrived in front of him.
He didn't seem to have expected that there would be a day when he would enter a dream.
He now gets rid of some of his inner demons every day. Although the inner demons are not easy to get rid of, who is Su Jinzhou? What seems extremely difficult to others is not only not afraid, but he has a strong will.
He said that since he had promised her, he would definitely get rid of it completely, and he did so.
Jitang thought that he would never enter Su Jinzhou's dream again.
She quickly confirmed that this time it was not Su Jinzhou who took the initiative to enter her dream.
Su Jinzhou had obviously thought of this as well, and he was looking down at his wrist.
There are no black lines there, but the inner demon is still hiding.
Su Jinzhou then looked at Jitang.
Ji Tang was right next to him in reality. When he suddenly saw her in his dream, he was actually a little restrained.
He felt like he was doing something bad behind Ji Tang's back, especially when he met Ji Tang's clear eyes, he felt that his shameful thoughts were exposed.
It was Ji Tang who first called out, "Senior Brother."
Su Jinzhou tensed up and nodded in agreement.
He felt very offended when he thought that Jitang was still resting in reality while he met Jitang in his dream.
Ji Tang was looking at him. He was not like the previous times he had appeared in his dreams, who would come close to him whenever they met. He was more like the black panther that the sect had once kept free in the mountains and forests, with high intelligence, and would pounce on anyone it saw.
This time he didn't hold her hand, nor did he even get close to her. He just stood in front of her very politely, looking a little restrained, and it seemed that he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Ji Tang tried hard to suppress the curve of his mouth that was about to rise, "I rarely drink tea made by senior brother, why don't you make a pot for me?"
Su Jinzhou finally had something to do, so he went there immediately.
Ji Tang had nothing to do, so he simply entered Su Jinzhou's magic cave.
She was quite familiar with this place. The layout inside was the same as in reality, and all that came into view were the magic weapons and artifacts she had used before.
Some she still remembers, some she has no recollection of.
She walked past more than a dozen rows of antique shelves arranged in an arc shape and came to the back where the jade bed was placed.
When she returns to Qianli Yanbo, she will ask her senior brother for this bed. She has slept in a drafty and ventilated place for too long and she misses this big bed so much.
She simply sat on it and rested her hands on the edge of the bed.
The warm touch of the spiritual jade came from the palm of her hand. She couldn't let go and touched the edge of the bed to the headboard. Suddenly, she saw a handle sticking out from behind the bed.
The handle is half hidden by the headboard and is very inconspicuous.
Jitang squatted down and moved closer, tentatively pulling down the handle.
The wall of the cave shook slightly. Ji Tang looked in surprise at the crack that appeared on the wall behind the bed. The crack was slowly opening and stopped when it was wide enough for one person to pass through.
She stood up, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.
This space should not exist in reality. According to the current location, it is actually outside the magic cave.
Perhaps it was what Su Jinzhou was thinking that came into being.
When she walked in, she saw a very narrow passage.
There was no light inside and it was very dark. Jitang groped his way as he walked, and when he walked out of the narrow path, he came to a stone chamber.
There is a stone table in the center of the stone chamber with white candles burning on it.
Jitang observed the place in the light.
This stone chamber was large and square, with portraits of people plastered all over the four walls, ceiling, and floor, densely packed one on top of the other.
She walked to the wall on her left and looked closer.
At the bottom of the portrait it is written: Elder of Guangdu Gate, Xue Huanjia.
The portrait is depicted in great detail, even the hair is so precise that each strand is clearly visible.
Jitang stopped in front of the painting and looked at it carefully. He had no impression of this person. It must be someone he had never seen before.
She tilted her head and looked at the picture next to her.
The leader of Chengsong Sect is Yan Jiaxing.
Jitang still didn't recognize him.
She walked along the wall, and when she was almost at the end, she saw one that reminded her of someone.
The elder of Diyun Palace, Dou Chuishan.
Ji Tang looked at the portrait. She knew this person. It was the one killed by her senior brother in the black market!
She had always been puzzled as to why her senior brother killed him. The coldness emanating from her senior brother at that time could directly freeze a person into an ice cube, and his power was also extremely strong.
He could clearly tell the man's identity and name. Jitang thought that the two of them had some kind of mortal feud, but now it seems that is not the case.
Jitang turned around and looked at the entire stone house.
It took her some time to jump across one wall, but the whole place was filled with portraits, and she couldn't see them all.
She walked over to the central stone table, where a complete set of brushes, inkstones, and paper lay. The rice paper was already spread out, one corner held down by a paperweight. There were many scattered ink spots of varying sizes, all spread out.
Beside the rice paper was a brush, not properly placed, as if it had been casually dropped. The brush was stained with ink, but now it was dry, and the tip was forked, looking pitiful.
Jitang's eyes fell on the books stacked on the side of the stone table.
She picked up the first book and opened it. It still contained names of people and sects, but the descriptions were more detailed than the portraits. It was not an introduction, but the time and route of going out.
Some of the names had a cross drawn behind them in vermilion, while others were left blank with no trace of vermilion.
Jitang flipped through the pages quickly, reading ten lines at a glance, and found Dou Chuishan's name. He saw a cross behind his name.
In other words, anyone with a cross after their name is dead.
Ji Tang had a complicated expression, not understanding what his senior brother meant.
It wasn't until she opened the last page of the book that she saw Su Jinzhou's signature in the lower right corner of the back cover. The writing was powerful, vigorous and upright.
——Gift to Jitang.
Jitang's face turned pale and he fell down on the stone bench exhausted.
She could clearly remember every word Su Jinzhou said.
——"I already know who most of the people were back then, and I will kill them one by one."
Ji Tang finally realized that these portraits covering the walls were all the executioners who attacked Jiu Ming Abyss and wanted to kill her while she was undergoing the thunder tribulation of ascension.
Su Jinzhou actually remembered everyone's details clearly in his mind!
There were so many people who attacked the Nine Nether Abyss... They had different identities and appearances, but Su Jinzhou really remembered every one of them!
There were high-ranking disciples, stewards, elders, and even the head of a sect! Su Jinzhou didn't care about their status at all, and even wanted to kill the head of a sect. How was this different from directly opposing the sect?!
Jitang was so shocked that his hands and feet became numb and he was completely exhausted.
It took her a long while to slowly let out a sigh, her eyes showing a mixture of joy and sadness.
"With so many lives at your fingertips, how are you going to achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality?"
