Chapter 3 Holy Soul Village
"Pancake pancake, one copper soul coin!"
"You bastard! I went to gamble all night again last night. Are you really willing to lose all the money at home before you are reconciled!"
"My wife, take it easy, I won't dare next time."
"Don't dare? How many times have you said that before! How many times have you dared not!"
"Oh, oh, I swear, this is the last time, if there is a next time, I will... I will die!"
"Wow! How dare you curse my son, you see I won't punish you today!"
"Hey, have you heard? Last night, the entire village of Jinshui Village was killed, and the death is quite miserable."
"What? Really, I still owe Old Liu of Jinshui Village several silver soul coins, so it seems that I don't have to pay him back now?"
"Damn~, are you still human? Why don't you give it back to me, and I'll burn it for you~"
All kinds of voices gradually drifted into Gan Jue's ears, and the louder and more voices gradually made Gan Jue's brain unable to ignore them. After his eyelids twitched twice, he suddenly opened his eyes , sat up abruptly.
Boom!
Hey~
hiss.
Gan Jue covered the top of her head, gritted her teeth and twisted her face, and survived the severe pain for a few seconds.And in the severe pain, he also recalled his current situation.
Climbing out of the wooden box, Gan Jue stretched and moved his stiff body.There was a crisp sound as the bones of the body curled up all night rubbed against each other.
Fortunately, his body is small now, so he can nest in this wooden box.
Habitually, he reached out his hand to touch between the nose and hair, and only when he saw that there was no grease, did he react a little.
"Hehe, it's good to be smaller, you don't have to wash your face and hair every day!"
After jokingly teasing himself, Gan Jue took a few deep breaths, and the cool air cleared up his chaotic mind.
"Go eat something first, and then find out what time it is and whether the plot has started today, and then make plans for the future."
Gan Jue got back into the wooden box, took out the soul coins tightly wrapped in his purse from his clothes, thought for a while, and after taking out 5 copper soul coins from it, Gan Jue put away the remaining soul coins out of the box.
Coming to the street, this world once again refreshed his cognition.The endless stream of people was nothing, but the most important thing was that he saw white or yellow halos under people from time to time.
He even saw an old man selling breakfast, with two soul rings, one white and one yellow, making cakes with a rolling pin glowing slightly.
"Is this the soul ring?"
While quietly observing the soul rings of the people around her, Gan Jue marveled in her heart.Although he had seen the soul rings on the two duels last night, he was frightened at that time and didn't have time to look carefully.
It really is a magical world. There is no dou qi that multiplies to the peak, but there is a martial soul that falls into every household.
What is your martial spirit?
Gan Jue suppressed the longing in his heart, walked to the old man's booth and sat down.
"Yo, what do you want to eat, kid?"
"Grandpa, give me two cakes and this soup." Gan Jue thought for a while, then spoke the language of this world naturally, and pointed to a pot of soup next to him.
"Son, is it your first time to eat here? Let me tell you, grandpa's pancakes and miso soup are the best in Notting City. Come to Notting City. If you haven't eaten my food, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Yo!"
As the old man said, he put two cakes on the plate and served them to Gan Jue along with a bowl of miso soup he said.On the miso soup, there are also a few scallions sprinkled.
Gan Jue took a bite of the cake and took another sip of the soup.
"Hmm~."
It's really good, the miso soup is a bit like the shrimp soup from the previous life, and the scallion pancakes are made by some method, and they taste unexpectedly crispy and delicious.
"It's delicious, sir. How crispy is this cake!"
"It's delicious! It's okay to tell you, the noodles for making cakes, but I used my Wuhun to drive them out, and every time I knead the noodles, I have to use my soul skills and use special techniques to remove them." Kneading noodles. So, in the whole world, only my cakes can be so crispy, and you can't get them anywhere else!"
"Okay, okay, old man Wang, how many times have you said this kind of rhetoric. Stop boasting, and quickly get us some cakes, and some bowls of miso soup."
The three men who had just arrived next to the booth came to the booth, saw the old man boasting there again, and greeted him speechlessly.
"Hey, come right now"
Old man Wang turned around to get the cake.
While Old Man Wang was taking the cake, the three men found time to chat.
"Hey, have you heard? The entire village of Jinshui Village was killed yesterday! That's a tragedy!"
"I heard about it! It must be those evil soul masters who did it again!"
After listening to a few sentences, Gan Jue was sure that the village they were talking about must be the one he fled from yesterday.
Was that village called Jinshui Village? Gan Jue quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"I heard that people from Wuhundian have already gone to investigate, but I don't know the result."
"How, what else can I do, I think most likely the murderer will not be caught. This is not the first time, I heard that this year, just this year, there have been three such incidents in our province of Fasno This is a tragic event of evil soul masters killing villages. Our Notting City is very close to Xingluo. Once these evil soul masters hide in Xingluo, we Tiandou will have no way to continue to investigate. Wuhundian is also very sensitive to such things. I don’t pay much attention to it. I think it’s estimated that this matter will be left alone.”
"Just let it go? That's more than 100 lives."
Another big man slapped the table angrily, and growled with righteous indignation.
The big man who greeted him at the beginning patted him and signaled him not to be so excited: "Is there any way, for people like us who are not even soul masters, it will be good if we can survive, maybe next time"
He stopped in mid-sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.
Yes, in this world, if you don't become a soul master, you will eventually become an ant.Only by becoming a soul master can we have the opportunity to live wonderfully in this world.
And people like myself are all hard laborers who do physical work haha, they still go to pity others
"Hey, speaking of it, Jinshui Village, like Saint Soul Village, has a soul saint, right? Why did the evil soul master slaughter the village just like that?"
One of the big men suddenly asked with some doubts.
"Old Ding, you have only come here in recent years. I don't know. This Jinshui Village was very prosperous more than ten years ago. After all, it is a soul saint born in the past few decades. Unlike Saint Soul Village, which has passed 100 It’s been many years. Almost ten years ago, that soul sage died for some unknown reason. Then a group of revenge seekers came to Jinshui Village and killed all the people in his ancestral land. So at that time, many people in Jinshui Village People are afraid of hurting themselves, so they all moved away. That's why their village has declined, otherwise, let alone Holy Soul Village, even compared with our village, Jinshui Village is probably much more prosperous."
When Gan Jue heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Really, it takes no effort at all.
It seems that the holy soul village is not too far away from here, so you can go and see it directly.
After all, if you ask, you don't know how to get the information you want.Seeing is believing, if you go to Holy Soul Village to see for yourself, you will know exactly what is going on now.
Thinking of this, Gan Jue couldn't wait to finish the remaining miso soup in a few sips, took the remaining scallion pancakes and called down the busy old man Wang.
"Grandpa, how much do I want here?"
Old man Wang turned around and looked down at Gan Jue, and said with a smile: "Here, three copper soul coins. Wait a minute, I'll take the things to them first."
Gan Jue took out three of the five copper soul coins that had been prepared, and gave them to Old Man Wang after he finished his work.
"Grandpa, let me ask the way, how do I get to Holy Soul Village from here?"
The old man Wang who received the copper soul coin was about to turn around and continue to work. When he heard Gan Jue's words, he turned around and looked at him in surprise: "Go to Shenghun Village? Are you going alone? That place is not close, why are you going? You What about my lord?"
"Oh, father, he went to the front to buy wine. We are going to find my second uncle over there. I just heard him say that he couldn't remember the way, so I thought about asking him." Gan Jue said the words he had already thought up. Say it a.
"Well, the Holy Soul Village is not close. It takes a long time to walk, so I can't tell."
Old man Wang didn't doubt that he was there, raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and thought.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he lowered his head and smiled and said to Gan Jue: "By the way, you can go to Lao Deng and go back to the Holy Soul Village with him. He will come to the city every few days to buy goods, and today seems to be just right. It's the day when he buys goods, you and your father can go back with him, he should be at the grocery store on the other side of the market."
"Ok~, thank you Grandpa, goodbye Grandpa!"
Pretending to say goodbye to old man Wang like a child, Gan Jue asked the way all the way to the grocery store in the market.
Looking at the various shops passing by and the plaques with their various names, Gan Jue found that there were many words he didn't know.
"It seems that you need to study literacy well. Don't be illiterate in the end when you raise your strength. That's funny."
Constantly thinking about various things in her mind, Gan Jue slowly came to the market.
The bazaar is more lively than the streets, not to mention all kinds of shops, but more of all kinds of hawkers who come here.
"Hey, lord, do you want to buy some purple baby grass? It's good to soak in water and drink it. I heard that it can also increase the soul power? If the child drinks too much, maybe the soul power will be full when the martial soul is awakened!"
"My lord, don't listen to him bragging. The purple baby grass can only strengthen the yang. Let's come and see my baby. I just caught this bastard last night after staying up all night. I guess it's almost a hundred years old." , but it’s a great supplement. Maybe you can get a century-old soul ring after you buy it back and kill it. How about it, as long as ten silver soul coins?”
"Really?" The caught middle-aged man became interested.
The peddler who sold bastards saw something interesting, and quickly agreed: "Of course it's true, although bastards don't sound very good, but bastards have high defense, look at this turtle shell, it just dropped.
As the peddler said, he knocked bastard's tortoise shell vigorously, attracted by Baba's ability to produce a century-old soul ring, and boasted even more vigorously.
"No, no, don't talk nonsense, I mean, is it true that the grass can strengthen the yang?"
Hawker: "."
To be continued.
PS: The spirit ring shown here adopts the form in the anime, which expands around the soles of the feet and then rotates slowly, instead of moving up and down with the spirit ring around the spirit master in the original book.
