Chapter 1406 – Three Pieces and Forbidden Medicine
These next few days were not much different from what Lin Qiye and the others had experienced in the previous days.
Playing cards, mahjong, singing, pole dancing, competing to see who could make the quickest lap around the island while upside down …… as well as some recreational activities that couldn’t be thought up without a ten year brain clot.
The only change was that Tang Yusheng’s potential training returned to normal in the morning, which meant that all of the above activities were rehabilitation activities after experiencing a death-defying thrashing all over again and soaking in a three-hour medicated bath.
Time flowed on, and the greater part of a month passed in a flash.
Inside the four large vats of hot air and medicinal fragrance, Lin Qiye and the others floated on their backs, their injuries gradually healed and their fatigue swept away.
”Hoo……” Baili Chubby floated in the tomato pot like a piece of meat, looking up at the azure sky, moaning out in comfort, “Don’t say it, after soaking in the medicinal bath for so many days, it feels like the realm has really refined quite a bit! …… Gun is this secret recipe powerful?”
In front of the bonfire that was scorching the bottom of the tank, Tang Yusheng half squatted on the ground, adding firewood under Baili Chubby’s pot without saying a word.
After cooking Lin Qiye and the others for most of the month in a row, Li Clang seemed to find it a bit boring, so he took the initiative to let Tang Yusheng have this rare experience, and now Tang Yusheng not only had to personally beat Lin Qiye and the others half to death every day, dragging them to the shore, but also had to be in charge of soaking them into the medicine vat, adding firewood regularly, and keeping the fire going.
Tang Yusheng didn’t say much, just silently playing the role of a nanny.
”That’s for sure.” Hearing Baili Chubby’s words, Tang Yusheng spoke calmly, “Uncle Li really does have his own unique insights in developing the human body’s potential, or else he wouldn’t have created something as heaven-defying as the ‘Ghost and God Leader’.”
”‘Ghost God Lead’ was built by Gun?”
Tang Yusheng’s words caused the four people in the pot to open their mouths in surprise at the same time.
”You guys don’t know?” Tang Yusheng asked rhetorically, “All the generations of Commander-in-Chiefs, their contributions to the Night’s Watch have been immense.
The first Commander-in-Chief, senior Nie Jinshan, went alone into the Kunlun Void and begged for the Night Vigil’s foundation, the [Star Blade] in your hands, from the Queen Mother’s hands;The second Commander-in-Chief, Uncle Li, built the ‘Ghost and God Guide’ and installed it in the Night’s Watch’s coat of arms, granting ‘dignity’ and ‘gentleness’ to all the Night’s Watch;
The fourth Commander-in-Chief, Wang Qing, wove cloaks for the Night’s Watch that were able to fight in any extreme environment, serving as a ‘shield’ that symbolized honor and identity ……”
Lin Qiye and the others were stunned in place.
Straight swords, heraldry, cloak.
Since the moment they stepped into the training camp, Lin Qiye and the others knew about the existence of the Night’s Watch three-piece set, but they didn’t realize until this moment how many people’s efforts were hidden behind these three pieces.
Behind each item is the concentration of an era …… and it is this accumulation of a hundred years that has created the thousands of Night Watchmen in Daxia today.
A moment later, Baili Chubby couldn’t help but ask, “Then …… Tang Yusheng senior, what are your feats?”
Tang Yusheng was silent for a moment and shook his head, “What I did, don’t mention it.”
Seeing Tang Yusheng’s unwillingness to say more, Baili Chubby also had the sense not to ask again, instead, it was An Qingyu who asked a question that had been pent up in his heart for a long time:
”Before I heard Gun said, only in the near death, refining bone and blood into the weapon, melting the body in the soldier, and then supplemented with some special techniques and artifacts, can create the Ying Ling, attached to the weapon above …… But this so-called ‘near death’ state, is it harsh for the Night’s Watch? Isn’t it too harsh for the Night’s Watch? How did you do it?”
”What do you mean?” Cao Yuan somewhat didn’t understand.
”Let’s put it this way, once the Commander-in-Chief that level of existence to take action, the face is very likely to be the strength of the gods far beyond their own, but in this case, want to ensure that you get out of the desperate situation, hanging breath to return to the headquarters of the Vigilantes, will be the soul of the gods into the weapon refining, inevitably a little impractical …… even if you can extinct get out of it, it’s possible that it’s not even in a state of near-death and can still be saved when you go back, but if you can’t get out of it, then you’re facing the fate of death in battle.” Lin Qiye understood what An Qingyu meant and added.
”In the final analysis, the condition of ‘near death’ shouldn’t be encountered every time.”
”You guys are right.” Tang Yusheng nodded, “It’s hard to enter the ‘near-death’ state at exactly the end of each Commander-in-Chief’s life, so we have a special method.”
”Special methods?”
”Do you guys know why only the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Summer Nightwatch will become a Yingling?”
Lin Qiye and the others shook their heads.
”One of the reasons is that the process of turning from a remnant soul into a Ying Spirit is too painful. Refining bone and blood into a weapon can be more than just talking about it …… And once you become a Ying Spirit, you can no longer enter reincarnation, you can only be in the Great Summer’s national fortunes and suffer for an eternity, and other than the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Summer’s Vigilantes, there is no one else who has the obligation to endure this kind of pain.
Secondly, is what you call the ‘near death’ state ……”
Tang Yusheng slowly opened his mouth, “At the beginning of the establishment of the Night’s Watch, there existed a forbidden drug, once this drug was swallowed, it would accumulate in the depths of the soul as if it were a precipitate, and when the eater died in battle, the power of the drug would be energized, allowing the eater’s soul to enter the state of ‘pseudo-sleep’.
This state can usually be maintained for 72 hours, and although the vitality withers and appears to be dead, as long as the corpse is recovered and the dregs of the medicine deep in the soul are activated by a secret method, the residual soul will be awakened again.
After awakening, the residual soul will forcibly continue his life for 10 hours, and at the same time, he will also fall into a ‘near-death’ state ……”
”So, the reason why successive generations of Commander-in-Chiefs were able to become Ying Spirits after their deaths was because they ate this forbidden medicine?” Baili Chubby came to a realization.
”That’s right, but the validity period of this forbidden medicine is only 24 hours, which means that we must take this medicine regularly every day in order to ensure that when we die in battle, we are in the sustained range of the medicine’s effect …… Elder Nie, Uncle Li, me, Wang Qing, and including the one that you know, Ye Fan, every day during their lifetimes they taking this medicine.” Tang Yusheng looked like he remembered something, and bitterness surfaced at the corners of his mouth, the
”After this drug is swallowed, it will produce side effects within half an hour, and that kind of torture from the depths of the soul …… is not something anyone can endure.”
Daxia.
Vigilant Headquarters.
Ding bell-!
The urgent alarm ringing, sitting behind the desk seriously reviewing documents Zuo Qing returned to God, reached out and pressed the alarm, he looked at the time, will be the corner of the table locked a drawer, slowly pull open ……
Inside the drawer, is a heavy medicine box, box groove, a gray pill neatly placed.
Looking at these gray pills, Zuo Qing sighed somewhat helplessly.
He reached out and took out a pill, swallowed it into his stomach, and lay down on his back on the office chair, seemingly waiting for something ……
