Eternal Sword

Chapter 614 Tianshan Bodhi
"Old man, is there any way to treat your injury?"

Chen Tang asked.

The fat old man shook his head and said, "There is no other way. If those two barbarian masters were willing to leave without any worries, they must have killed me and made sure that I would become a useless person."

Chen Tang comforted him: "There will always be a way."

The fat old man's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

Li Zhongmou looked guilty and said, "Senior, I'm sorry. We have caused you trouble."

"Ha ha!"

The fat old man laughed and said, "Even if you didn't come, the barbarians are ambitious and will move south sooner or later. I still can't escape this disaster."

"I have traveled all over the country in my life, killed corrupt officials, eliminated bandits, drank the strongest liquor, made several friends who have risked their lives for me, taught some amazing disciples, and even sneaked into the palace to steal someone, hehe!"

"Live happily and joyfully for half your life. At this age, I can die without any regrets."

Speaking of his favorite disciple, the fat old man glanced at Chen Tang.

Although the two of them did not have the official relationship of master and disciple, in his heart, he always regarded Chen Tang as his personal disciple.

At the end, the fat old man's eyes dimmed and he said, "It's a pity that with my crippled body, I'm afraid I can't go to Beijing to save people, and I can't help you keep Liangzhou and resist the barbarians."

Chen Tang felt that at this moment, the fat old man seemed to have aged a lot and looked very old.

What a splendid man he once was.

The world's number one thief, one step to the sky.

He entered the palace twice and rescued the descendants of Emperor Wu, the brother and sister Yuan Qingshan and Yuan Qingmu.

Even Emperor Wu admired him highly for his martial arts skills.

But now, it has ended up like this, and I am powerless.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, everyone's spirits also became depressed and their hearts were heavy.

Everyone feels a tremendous amount of pressure.

Chen Tang also found the situation very difficult.

The fat old man’s injury.

The barbarians moved southwards, and Liangzhou was in imminent danger.

And after the autumn, the black dog will kill people...

Everything is almost unsolvable.

At this moment, a group of imperial doctors from the Wusun Kingdom came in from outside and asked for permission, then entered the hall and took turns to check the fat old man's injuries.

After checking, everyone looked embarrassed and shook their heads.

"Don't waste your time with me."

The fat old man pointed at Li Zhongmou and said, "Go and check on their injuries."

Chen Tang held the chief imperial physician, frowned and asked, "Is there no way at all? There must be some rare and precious things in the world, natural materials and treasures, that may be able to heal this kind of injury?"

Hearing this, the chief imperial physician's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and he said, "Hearing what you said, young man, I remember..."

"What the hell are you thinking about? Get down!"

The fat old man waved his hand and scolded, interrupting him directly and asking the chief imperial physician to leave quickly.

"Then I will take my leave."

The chief imperial physician smiled awkwardly.

Seeing this, Chen Tang was unwilling to let him go. He said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you remember!"

"This……"

The chief imperial physician looked at the fat old man with an embarrassed expression.

"Say!"

This matter concerns the fat old man's injury. Chen Tang grabbed the man's wrist and exerted a little force on his palm. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The chief imperial physician felt pain and quickly let go, saying, "I also saw a record of this in the ancient books of the Wusun Kingdom, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. It is said that there is a strange Bodhi tree growing on the top of the Wusun Tianshan Mountain."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang looked surprised.

“This is all bullshit.”

The fat old man immediately said: "Bodhi trees generally grow in warm environments and are not cold-resistant."

"The Tianshan Mountains are towering into the clouds. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. Water freezes into ice, and the air is thin. There is no living thing there, let alone a bodhi tree."

The chief imperial physician quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes."

Chen Tang disagreed. There are all kinds of things in the world.

It can grow on Mount Tianshan, so it is called the exotic Bodhi tree.

"Old man, what you said is wrong."

Chen Tang said, "I heard you mention it before. The Fuyao Kungfu was created when you accidentally saw a rare beast on Mount Tianshan and spent seven days and nights meditating on it at the foot of the mountain. How come you're saying there are no living things up there now?"

The fat old man's face darkened and he muttered, "You have a good memory."

"Go on."

Chen Tang urged the chief imperial physician.

The man said, "According to the records in that ancient book, this exotic Bodhi tree will bear fruit called Tianshan Bodhi, which takes the essence of Tianshan and the essence of the sun and the moon. It is indeed a rare treasure in the world."

"It is said that the Tianshan Bodhi contains extremely rich vitality, which can bring back the dead, make bones white, nourish the Dantian, strengthen the tendons and bones, repair the meridians, and revitalize the body."

Chen Tang looked at the fat old man and asked curiously, "Since there is such a method, why are you stopping me from talking about it?"

The fat old man obviously knew about this, but not only did he not mention it before, he also didn't want this person to say it just now.

Seeing that things had come to this, the fat old man had no choice but to say, "There is indeed an exotic Bodhi tree on the top of Tianshan Mountain, but this kind of natural treasure must be accompanied by powerful exotic beasts. Remember the exotic beast I mentioned to you?"

Chen Tang nodded.

Emperor Wu had also mentioned to him several exotic beasts in the world, and one of them was the Tianshan golden eagle.

"Some people say that strange beast is a golden eagle."

The fat old man looked reminiscing, his eyes still unable to conceal his shock, and he slowly said, "But where in the world is there such a huge and terrifying golden eagle? I suspect that it might be the legendary golden-winged Roc! Or, this strange beast has the blood of the golden-winged Roc in its body!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The fat old man continued, "When I was young, I went up to Tianshan Mountain for the first time. I didn't actually reach the top of the mountain. I saw this golden-winged roc halfway up the mountain. It was a stunning glimpse. The visual and spiritual impact made me realize the truth at the foot of the mountain."

"Later, after I reached Grandmaster level, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the golden-winged Roc up close. The shock I felt was even more shocking than when I was young!"

"I only exchanged glances with the golden-winged Roc, and was so frightened that I almost lost my soul. I turned around and fled down Tianshan Mountain. Later, when I recalled that scene, the look in the golden-winged Roc's eyes was clearly a warning. That place was its territory."

"It didn't kill me outright, so I was lucky enough to save my life. Since then, I have never set foot in Tianshan again."

This was one of the few embarrassing things that happened to the fat old man in his life.

If he didn't mention it, outsiders would never know.

But at this moment, the fat old man looked calm and told the story frankly.

Even the great masters would be so frightened when they saw the golden-winged Roc that they would flee in panic and would never dare to set foot in Tianshan Mountain in their lifetime!
Chen Tang finally understood why the fat old man didn't want to mention this matter.

Because the fat old man knew that if he knew about the Tianshan Bodhi, he would definitely go to Tianshan.

You will definitely encounter this terrifying beast!
Chang Sunming was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Senior, if the big peng bird can kill you, then it must be..."

The fat old man said: "The strength of that big peng bird is comparable to that of a great master in the realm of transformation."

Everyone was secretly shocked.
