Chapter 040: Ancient House Phantom (12)
The red clothes fell on the stairs, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. Xianyue wiped it with his sleeve and pressed his cheek against Tao Xing's chest.
"Do you want to see a doctor?" Tao Xing asked.
The person in his arms stopped him from picking her up: "It's useless, it's not because you have a stomachache."
"It's because of the plaque." Tao Xing said.
At this point, Xianyue had to admit: "The plaque is damaged, and my energy will be lost. There is no other way but to wait for it to recover."
"Okay, then go and rest."
Xianyue stopped him again: "It's okay, I'll go up by myself later."
Tao Xing was stunned.
The person in his arms turned his head and changed the subject: "You seem...very powerful?"
“This…”
080 was also very curious and wanted to ask just now: "Host, how do you know those things, sword control or something?"
It is true that the quick traveler possesses the skills of the original owner, but this original owner is very weak in all aspects.
"I learned it myself." Tao Xing said proudly, "The original owner of this has spiritual wisdom, so it will be easy to deal with."
Tao Xing is not good at making money, but he is very skilled, and he can amplify the offensive energy he obtains countless times.
Without this ability, he wouldn't be able to grow up on a deserted planet by himself.
In the small world, this physique allows him to quickly master the relevant powerful attack power based on the original owner's body.
In the previous world, the original owner was an ordinary person, but Tao Xing had natural skills, so it was very easy for him to defeat a hundred people alone. In this world, the original owner had gained intelligence, and this body had the "seed" to master the art of escape.
Spiritual intelligence is known as a talent for learning the art of Qimen, and it is also an offensive energy. Tao Xing can make this seed take root, sprout, and grow luxuriantly. He can amplify this "spiritual intelligence" to its strongest level.
One needs to have high intelligence to learn these things. He has developed it to the highest level, so he can easily master the art of Qimen with just a glance.
080 was amazed. He knew that the host was very skilled, but he didn't expect he had this ability.
"But, host, you are so powerful, why are you afraid of everything?" The system was puzzled.
Tao Xing: "Ahem, I'm not afraid of anything!"
It's really ridiculous that you can't be afraid when you see scary things.
"Oh." The system stopped exposing the secrets. It felt that the host was not incapable of making money, but most of the time, he did not take it seriously.
When he wants to do something, he can obviously do it quickly.
080 Returning to the depths of consciousness, Tao Xing answered the words of the person in his arms. He could not talk about his own physical condition, so he only said: "I was actually born with very strong abilities. My father had long planned to let me be the head of the family. However, in such a family environment, my father's attention to me would also bring disaster to me. I can only pretend to be weak in order to grow up safely."
Xianyue thought about it for a while and believed it: "Your ability is very strong, no wonder you can't see my illusion."
Tao Xing nodded.
It was indeed for this reason. His mystical arts were very powerful and he could block illusions on his own. Last time Xianyue asked him about it, Tao Xing said that there are always people better than you and it was not a lie.
Fortunately, I blocked it, otherwise it would be so scary.
He added: "I can't see illusions, but I can see that you just used an illusion on Tao Wang that was beyond your power."
Xianyue could originally only cast illusions on people who entered the house, but just now, he succeeded in casting illusions on Tao Wang who was outside the house.
Tao Wang has gone crazy. Before long, he will probably be thrown into the molten lava furnace and turned into a giant candle without skin.
If Xianyue forcibly activates this rebellious force, it will cause a huge backlash. Moreover, he is seriously injured. This action is tantamount to mutual destruction.
"So what?" Xianyue said, "Even if I die, I will never let the person who bullied me have an easy life. I will never let him go."
"It's nothing, it's just that you put yourself in too much of a risk." Tao Xing said. Fortunately, Tao Wang was already half dead, and Xianyue's backlash was not very serious, so his life was not in danger.
"Then what are you asking?"
"Okay, I won't ask." Tao Xing said, "Let me help you up. Do you want to sit here forever?"
"No need." Xianyue tried to stop him again, lowered his head, supported himself, stood up with his back to Tao Xing, and walked up holding the railing.
They had done all kinds of intimate things before, but suddenly they were not allowed to touch each other. Tao Xing felt a little strange and followed behind. Some wind blew in, and the plaque on the beam was not placed firmly, so it creaked.
Tao Xing: “…”
He said, "I found it here last time and gave it to you, but you hid it. Today, Tao Wang found it here again and injured you. And now, you are still hiding here?"
It would be fine if he hid it once or twice, but why did he hide it in the same place for the third time?
Xianyue paused for a moment: "You humans have said that the most dangerous place is also the safest."
“…”
Now you are listening to what humans say.
The wind grew stronger, and with another "crack", the plaque was blown off and fell to the ground.
Well, this time no one has to look for it, it was blown down by the wind by itself, it’s really safe.
The two of them turned back subconsciously. Tao Xing walked over and picked it up. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Originally..."
He paused.
The person on the steps looked slightly pale, covered his face and turned around.
Tao Xing was in a trance for a moment.
He just saw that the fair skin on the left half of the face had turned blue-gray, with black cracks all over it, like dry land and broken tiles.
He swallowed lightly.
080 also saw it and shuddered: "How scary, host, his face is like a house that is about to collapse..."
Tao Xing walked forward.
The system was unbelievable. The host didn't scream and run away this time?
However, his hand holding the plaque seemed to be shaking.
Tao Xing walked back to the steps and looked at Xianyue.
Xianyue turned around again, his profile falling into the shadows: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Um..." Tao Xing pursed his lips and didn't mention it. He just continued what he hadn't finished saying, "I was going to tell you after you've rested, but I think I can't wait any longer." He walked around to Xianyue and said, "You can't keep this plaque by yourself. If someone touches it, you can't get it back unless they give it to you. You have to stay where it is. You will feel uncomfortable if you stay away from it. If it is damaged, you will be injured or even fatal. What do you want with such a thing?"
Xianyue raised her eyes and said, "What can I do if I don't want it? I was born from here. This plaque is the source of the spiritual energy of this house. After the plaque was hung, this house became spiritual and I was born. I don't want to be trapped in a piece of wood. I want to see the light outside and see the world. However, for most of the past thousand years, I am still trapped in this house."
Even though the plaque is movable and can be taken away, he cannot move away from it.
Would anyone take his plaque with them when traveling?
It really does exist.
So, last time, he agreed to Tao Xing so easily and went out with him. He knew that some of his skills would disappear after going out and there would be many unpredictable dangers, but he still agreed.
After all, there is only one such opportunity in a thousand years.
However, knowing that opportunities are few and far between, I dare not look too much when I go out.
You may not have the chance to watch it again, so don't leave a deep impression on yourself, otherwise it will be another torture when you come back.
So he muttered that he was bored everywhere and lowered his head to play games.
It would be nice to just glance over the world I have never seen, but I clearly yearn for it.
He is a house, unable to move, yet he yearns for the outside world. This is a paradox in itself.
He sighed silently, coughed twice, and there was a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth again, and his body was shaking.
Tao Xing stretched out her arms and embraced him. This time, his cracked face was revealed to her sight without any escape. The person in her arms was too weak to support herself and could not struggle.
Tao Xing lowered her head and looked him straight in the face, quietly gazing at his profile.
The system felt the host's trembling heart, but he appeared calm and without any ripples.
Xianyue couldn't hide anymore, so he simply said: "This is what I really look like."
"Oh." Tao Xing said.
"You just say 'oh'?"
"Well, you can look whatever you want. Is there a problem?"
Xianyue was stunned.
"Let me help you up." Tao Xing held him and walked up. "Let's get back to the point. I was just talking about the plaque. I think... it's better not to have this plaque."
"What's the meaning?"
"This plaque is carved from wood from Lingshan Mountain and named by the ancestor of the Tao family. The emperor inscribed it with ink made from pearls from the South China Sea and gold powder. The words are engraved on it. It gathers your spiritual energy and is closely related to you. So, let this spiritual energy gather on yourself, so you don't need to rely on it, right?"
"How to gather them on me?" Xianyue felt vaguely familiar with these things. Intuitively, he felt that Tao Xing had a way.
"Find the wood of Lingshan, the emperor's pen, and the spiritual pearls, burn them and grind them into ink. Swallow it, and the spiritual energy will gather in your body. At that time, the plaque will be like this house, a part of you, but it will no longer restrict you. Oh, by the way, there is also a gold powder. Your name was given by your ancestor, so this gold powder must be related to him."
As he was talking, he had already helped Xianyue to the third floor and sent him to his door.
Xianyue stared at him, his expression changing several times: "You...you took me out, not just to play, but also to find these things. You had planned for me a long time ago."
Since it is known that he has a strong ability in Qimen Xuanshu, there is no need to ask how he knows this method. Although Xianyue has always hated this human body and even hated the entire human race, it has to be admitted that he was born because of human beings.
The houses built by humans, the plaques made, the names given, the words inscribed, and the lights opened.
Since they were created by humans, these methods should also be found in human records.
Xianyue just couldn't believe why this person wanted to help him and why he was doing this so early.
"Yes." Tao Xing answered him, and then said, "It's just right for you to rest. I'll go grind the flour. When you feel better, we can eat it."
Xianyue didn't want to sleep, he pulled Tao Xing's clothes, but still didn't understand.
Tao Xing was pulled by the collar and couldn't stand up, so she could only lean over and look at him.
Xianyue opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped. After thinking for a while, he said, "But, isn't there still one thing missing? The gold powder related to your ancestors? That... just tell me how to find it, and I can go by myself. You don't need to help me find it."
Tao Xing tilted her head: "But I have found it."
"Where can I find this?"
"It was scraped off the ancestor's tablet."
Xianyue: "Oh, I thought humans all respected their ancestors."
"Hehe, then you take a rest, I'll go out." Tao Xing lowered her eyebrows and looked at his hand that was clutching her collar, and signaled with her eyes.
Xianyue didn't receive the signal and was still pulling at his clothes. He leaned against the head of the bed, and the person in front of him was very close to him because he was leaning over. Their breaths intertwined and their warm breaths sprinkled on each other's faces.
They had slept in the same bed many times, kissed every inch of her skin, and indulged in sexual pleasures, but this time, Xianyue felt a strange impulse.
Not for lust, just to kiss him.
However, such a simple action made him hesitate for no reason.
He still couldn't kiss her, and with a heart full of doubts, he slowly let go.
Tao Xing smiled, pushed the door and left.
The next day, Xianyue recovered to full health.
He brushed his hand across his face and the black cracks disappeared.
The powder was ground, and he swallowed it in one gulp without any hesitation.
Anyway, nothing can be worse than it is now.
Only the body of a living thing can convert what it swallows into physical energy. In the end, if he wants to break free from the limitations of the plaque, he still has to rely on the human body.
Clear air rose in his body, while turbid air fell, and even breathing in and out seemed easy. He could deeply feel the energy surrounding him. It was energy that truly came from his body. This energy enveloped him, making him feel safe.
He stroked his violently beating heart, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then disappeared from the house.
The wind blew through the crack in the door, blew up to the treetops, landed on the eaves, brushed across the golden waves of wheat, and passed through the bluestone town.
A leaf jumped and curled in the wind, drifting away into the distance, over the mountains and across the sea. Children were playing on the beach, and the flower seller on the overpass was replaced by a new one.
There are tall buildings, fields, mountains, rivers and seas in the world. There are countless vehicles on the ground and there are flying things in the sky, which humans call airplanes.
The slanting moon rises, and the breeze returns to the town, slowly walking back along the long street under the moon.
In the old house, the lights were bright, and someone looked up from under the lights: "Are you back?"
The breeze fell to the ground and turned into a red dress. Xianyue breathed softly, looked at his hands and legs, stroked his clothes, and the gold pendant on his forehead. His heart was still beating, his breath was still unstable, and his body was trembling slightly: "I... I went to many places."
"Um."
"I can go far away and not feel bad at all."
"Um."
“I don’t have to be limited by the plaque anymore.”
"Um."
"I... am free to go anywhere."
Tao Xing stood up: "Yeah."
There was a light in the red-clothed man's eyes. Finally... finally he didn't have to be restricted to one side anymore.
He took a step forward, laughing excitedly.
Tao Xing also smiled at him, sharing the joy with him.
The man in red's heart was pounding. After a pause, he remembered something, flew onto the beam, and took down the plaque.
Then, he fell to the ground with force.
The body is fine, there is no vomiting of blood, and no pain anywhere.
There is really no reaction, and I am really not affected by it!
There was a gleam in his eyes, and he kicked the plaque again.
The plaque was kicked far away, and Xianyue raised his hand to look at it again.
Still intact, no discomfort.
He turned around and smiled, then grabbed the plaque and broke it with his bare hands. With a "crack", the plaque broke into two halves. He threw the two halves to the ground and kicked them away again.
Tao Xing: “…”
Is it so violent?
After kicking, Xianyue clapped his hands, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Tao Xing: "I'll take you out for a walk."
But he felt a gust of wind whistling past, and before Tao Xing could react, he had already flown into the air outside the house.
His hand was held by the person next to him, and it seemed as if an invisible buoyancy gathered around him, making him float.
The night wind blows across my fingertips, fireflies twinkle in the fields, city lights flicker, some people walk hurriedly, and some people stroll under the moon.
Xianyue took him to sit on the eaves of a tall antique building. It was already late at night, and the moon was setting in the west, like a crescent moon falling behind them.
The red clothes fluttered and the long hair moved in the wind, blowing across Tao Xing's face.
Tao Xing raised his hand to brush it away, and the people around him turned to look at him.
Fog rose up late at night, and the mist was as thin as gauze, floating in the air.
The man in red felt his heart rising and falling like the mist. He followed that gaze and suddenly felt the urge to kiss this man again.
Tao Xing watched the strand of hair fall from her fingertips, and at this moment she received a prompt from the system: "Host, the mission is completed."
"Oh." His eyes moved, "Done?"
"Well, I just received the news." 080 said, "The program shows that he will no longer harm humans without reason, and the ending of being attacked by the world rules will not appear. He has been freed. The program monitors that he is happy. The mission is completed. Host, do you want to leave this world?"
Tao Xing lowered his eyes slightly, and before he had time to think, he saw the person next to him stretching and looking forward: "Okay, you are right, humans are good and bad, and this human body is not that bad. I reluctantly promise you that from now on, if anyone enters the house, I will not use illusions to scare them."
He pursed his lips and continued: "But don't mess with me, if someone else goes looking for trouble, I can't say for sure."
Tao Xing smiled faintly and nodded.
Xianyue frowned and turned his head: "Is this your reaction?"
"Forehead……"
Didn’t I just hear the system say this? Besides, it wasn’t just the system that said it, Tao Xing also saw it.
He had previously let go of those who had barged in to pray.
But the person in front of him looked expectant and eager, so Tao Xing had to cooperate: "Wow, you don't hate us humans anymore, that's great."
Xianyue snorted, stood up and pulled him: "Go back."
Tao Xing floated in the wind again. 080 was anxious: "Host, answer me, are you leaving or not?"
