Chapter 333 The Thick Skin Is Getting Thicker

Both Su Lun and Qianjo were seriously injured, and they originally planned to treat their wounds in the house before leaving the city.

But the suicidal bird that was released found that ghosts were still wandering around, as if they hadn't given up searching for their traces. This also alerted the two of them.

Their blood and aura were left in the ruins of the battle. Although they had taken [Prayer's Mud Pills] to cover up their yang energy, Su Lun was not sure if some monsters with strange perception abilities could find them.

Once discovered, it is probably not so lucky to have noble people to help.

It is not suitable to stay in the city for a long time, so the two simply bandaged the wound and left the house quickly.

Coincidentally, not long after the two walked out, the battle at the Ghost Lantern Night Market ceased.

The entire North Sea Ninth Fleet was wiped out.

Su Lun guessed that the captain, the seventh-rank "Greedy Admiral" Peon was probably not killed, but was assimilated by the spirit of the underworld.

Although the previous battle was dangerous, it also allowed Su Lun to roughly assess the combat power of the ghosts in this cursed space.

He reckoned that the strongest BOSS in the city should be a seventh-tier professional?

Otherwise, if there is an eighth-level combat power, the battle on Peon's side should not be such a stalemate.

Of course, Izanami, the lord of the underworld, said otherwise.

Su Lun stripped the soul fragments of those ghosts before, no matter what ghosts have in their hearts, this one is a very special existence.

After the fighting subsided, the commotion in the city also subsided.

In the streets and alleys, those ghosts are still vying for the corpses of the living, and there are scenes of bloody gnawing everywhere.

Su Lun and Qianjo changed their costumes and mixed in with the ghosts. Because they lost their yang energy, they arrived under the city wall of Nancheng very smoothly. The two climbed out of the wall.

Most of the population of Shanyin Country is concentrated in cities and villages, and the outside of the city is almost all "wilderness". This country of the underworld is even worse, almost no ghosts can be seen outside the city.

And the road here is not quite the same as in reality.

Even though Chijo said that she knew the location of Sensoji Temple, the two still wandered on the mountain road for a long time, but they still couldn't find it.

Finally, the two of them came to a complete stop in the dark mountains, and then stopped.

Su Lun asked, "Miss Qiantiao, are we going in the wrong direction?"

The wilderness is surrounded by thatched grass that is as tall as a person. This place is suitable for shooting ghost movies, but it doesn't look like the road to Sensoji Temple.

Qianjo also rubbed the center of his brows, also full of doubts: "I should remember correctly. Sensoji Temple is very popular. I have been there once before. The temple area is very large, and half of the mountain is covered with that temple and Buddha sculptures. It's strange, why can't I find it, I remember it should be this mountain."

"."

Su Lun frowned.

Not to mention the temples in front of me, I can't see any lights, except for the hillside, which is still the hillside.

He even felt that he was bewitched by some ghost, but the pupil of omniscience didn't see anything unusual.

Qianjo dragged his chin to think for a moment, and suggested: "How about we go inside again? This place seems to be different from the real world. Before I went to Sensoji Temple, the stone road was paved to the front of the temple. But there is no Incense, maybe there is no ghost here?"

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, and felt that this was the only possibility.

The two didn't delay, they found a direction and got into the grass, groping their way into the mountain.

Finally, the flying suicidal bird saw traces of buildings in the mountain in the sky.

"found it!"

Su Lun also heaved a sigh of relief, finally finding the right direction.

Qiantiao also muttered: "I'll just say, the direction should be remembered correctly."

Not long after, the two walked out of the grass taller than a person, and found a narrow path.

After walking half a mile along the path, I finally saw a stone carved with three faded characters of "Asakusa Temple".

Looking up, several dilapidated houses were built against the mountain, and the red walls had long since faded. The papered doors and windows are full of holes, cobwebs are densely covered, and there is snow on the tile roof. There are no lights, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time.

Qianjo pointed to the stone Buddha statue on the rock wall, and said, "I saw this Buddha statue in the Great Buddha Hall of Sensoji Temple before, and it is said to be the oldest Buddha statue in the temple."

While speaking, she also wondered: "It's strange, why is this Sensoji Temple different from what I saw?"

Su Lun was not too surprised, and smiled slightly: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. This is the kingdom of the underworld, a world of ghosts and ghosts, and there should be no temples. It is not bad to be able to leave these dilapidated buildings."

He looked at the big Buddha sculpture, paused and said: "And, if I guessed wrong, this is the 'Ancient Sensoji Temple'. The Sensoji Temple has been rebuilt many times, and the building area is bigger and bigger each time. It was burned later. It was rebuilt during the Heian period, and only then did it have the scale outside Edo Castle."

"Oh, that's right. I said it."

After hearing this, Qiantiao seemed to have just realized, "How do you know so much?"

Su Lun spread his hands and said, "I've read all the books in the Shenfushi Royal Library, and I happened to pay more attention to this temple, and I have some impressions."

"Yo, not bad."

Hearing this, Qianzhang's eyes showed a hint of approval, and asked again: "But...why did Granny Aju suggest us to come here? Is there any difference in this temple?"

Su Lun was also a little puzzled. After squinting his eyes and thinking, he said, "The history of Sensoji Temple is longer than that of Edo Castle. There are many mysterious legends about this temple. It is said that there have been many eminent monks, some special monsters, and converts. The thieves also sealed the legendary 'Baqi no Orochi'."

When Qiantiao heard it, he also felt that there was some knowledge, and asked: "Then what did you see?"

Su Lun's left eye flashed and he shook his head, "No."

No matter where you look at it, there is nothing special about this ruined temple.

He also guessed: "Perhaps it's because ghosts instinctively avoid temples, so they are safer?"

Qian Tiao frowned frivolously, and said, "Shall we go in and have a look?"

Su Lun nodded: "Yeah."

The two stopped for a moment in front of the temple gate.

Black Crow first went in for a stroll, but found nothing unusual.

Su Lun held the black umbrella in his hand and sent out his senses, but he didn't find any soul fluctuations.

They just walked in.

From this point of view, it was gloomy, dilapidated and desolate.

Hmm. No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary ruined temple.

There is snow and fallen leaves in the courtyard, a few jujube trees are bare, and moss grows on the stone steps.

Su Lun was also a little disappointed. He originally thought that this was the place where Hayato Fujiwara stayed, and it might be the key to breaking the cursed space.

But looking at the situation, it seems that he is thinking too much?

A "Asakusa Temple" on an unknown timeline came, and many things were different.

The two pushed open the gate of the main hall of the temple which was full of holes. Inside, there were only a few rays of moonlight from the holes in the roof, and the visibility was very low.

Su Lun's night vision ability is very strong, and he can see all kinds of fierce wooden statues inside at a glance.

He immediately came to a conclusion, "These Buddha sculptures are newly carved in the past few years, and someone should have stayed here before."

"Um."

Qianjo beside him seems to have discovered that there is something special about these statues.

She took out an alchemy magic lamp, and as soon as she turned it on, the orange light dispelled the darkness.

The well-carved Buddha statues came into view impressively, some with glaring eyebrows, some vicious, some with solemn treasures

The carving is exquisite and the expression is very expressive.

If it weren't for the fact that they were wood carvings at a glance, Su Lun even felt that they were alive.

Qiantiao moved his face closer, looked carefully at the carver, and immediately said: "This carver is a master of swordsmanship."

Shen Yin observed for a moment, her tone was a little shocked, and she immediately changed her words: "No, his sword skills are very high, he may be a sword master!"

"The sword master?"

Su Lun took a closer look.

He himself often carved rune puppets, and felt that he still couldn't carve such lifelike statues.

Hearing what Qiantiao said, he also felt that it should be so.

On the engraving of this statue, there is a remnant of sword intent.

But at the same time, there was a hint of vigilance in my heart.

This is a cursed space, and the ghosts do not welcome the living.

The more expert, the more dangerous.

Su Lun looked around and found nothing but a futon and a bonfire in front of the Buddha statue. He said in a deep voice, "There are no footprints on the snow in the yard, and the ashes of the bonfire in the hall are already cold. That person should leave for three days." Four days."

Qianjo said more and more affirmatively: "To have such a peaceful carver, the heart is absolutely unmatched. That 'sword master' will definitely not be a person who kills indiscriminately. It's a pity, it would be great if I could ask him about the way of swordsmanship." gone."

High-level swordsmen can indeed see the opponent's heart through sword intent.

Hearing what she said, Su Lun frowned slightly, and then said, "Maybe that's why that Granny Aju asked us to come."

"Um."

Qianjo also nodded, and asked again: "Then let's fix it here tonight?"

"good."

Su Lun also felt that he had no other choice. The injuries of both of them reached the point where it would be very troublesome if they didn't deal with it. Although the environment of this ruined temple was not good, at least there were no ghosts to bother them.

If you go elsewhere, you may encounter other monsters.

The two decided to stay overnight, so Qianjo hung the magic lamp on the beam, and the room was unclear.

Su Lun took out the marching tent and spread another mat.

The two began to deal with their own wounds.

Now that there is a relatively safe environment, Su Lun can also start to treat the injury thoroughly. He himself was stabbed in the abdomen with one hand, and he opened the blood-stained gauze, revealing a bloody wound. If it was an ordinary trauma, his body's healing ability would have healed long ago, but there is the red lotus monster energy of [Shuten-douji] in this wound, and that strange energy prevents the wound from healing, and it is still scurrying through the meridians.

However, Su Lun also has enough experience in dealing with these injuries, and has prepared enough advanced medicine to prevent this situation.

He untied the eight-armed spider lance, and threw out two [Healing Dolls] that continuously released the recovery aura. Then, he took out the alchemy potion that debrides the alien energy and poured it on the wound, while starting to suture the wound.

In addition to the abdomen, there are some other wounds on the body, which are all minor problems.

Because he has a lot of hands and is still [expert-level medical proficiency], he can handle his own wounds with ease. Even if it is an operation that originally requires the cooperation of multiple people, the eight spider arms are more than enough to handle it.

But Qiantiao on the side didn't go well.

It's not that the higher the professional level, the more powerful the treatment means.

At least this is the case for Qianjo, a young gambling addict.

Her healing methods are limited to external medicine, internal medicine, and rough bandaging. Can't even do basic sewing.

Oh. No.

After knowing a certain fact, it seems inappropriate to describe her as a young woman.

Qianjo's injury was not easy at all than Su Lun's. She removed the shoulder armor of "five iron red scales painted with five legs and feet", and then wiped off the five scaly red breastplates. Only then did they see that the chain armor on the next level had been unbuttoned, revealing the cloth armor. Once the last layer of cloth armor was removed, only gauze wrapped around the chest remained.

It was this effort to disassemble the armor, she couldn't hold back and spit out another mouthful of turbid blood.

It was only then that Su Lun saw that her back was covered with flame-like traces, which were traces of pollution from evil spirits entering her body, which was already very dangerous. There are also some fine wounds like fish scales, which were injured by sword energy. This also made her originally smooth and jade-like skin full of wounds.

Su Lun shrank his eyes slightly, and said, "The wound on your back is not easy to deal with, let me fix it for you."

"oh?"

Qianjo turned his back to him, glanced behind him from the corner of the eye, "OK."

As she spoke, she pulled up her blue hair and tied it with a red string, revealing her beautiful back.

Because the wound spread all over her back, then she started to undo the gauze that corseted her chest as usual.

But as soon as I understood it, I didn't know what to think of, and my hand stopped in front of my chest for a moment.

A strange look flashed across Qianjo's face, but then he continued to move.

She took off the blood-stained gauze round and round until her upper body was completely exposed to the air.

The angle of the magic lamp just cast her shadow on the ground, the light and shadow are graceful, her chest is tall and her curve is proud.

Concentrating on nothing else, Su Lun freed up a few spider spears, first used medicine to debride the wound on her back, and then began to suture in an orderly manner.

The higher the level of cleansing the alien energy, the more painful the process, probably like sulfuric acid poured on the skin, excruciatingly painful.

Melee professionals like Qianjo were even more polluted.

But she was expressionless from beginning to end, and she could still be distracted from dealing with some of her wounds.

But the intense sweat on her forehead and her pale complexion proved that she was not in an easy state.

The effect of professional medical treatment is much better than random bandaging. As long as the negative energy is cleaned up, and with the assistance of potions and healing alchemy formations, except for some large wounds, small wounds can usually heal quickly.

Su Lun's superb medical skills and multi-tasking ability make him handle it with ease.

After a while, he almost treated the wound on his abdomen.

The wounds on Qiantiao's back are about to be stitched up.

Su Lun seemed to be turning the page after finishing his homework, and said casually: "Okay, Miss Qiantiao, your back is done, turn around."

If it was before, Chijo would probably turn around without hesitation, and would not feel any awkwardness when seeing her frankly.

Anyway, it's not that I haven't seen it.

But after being asked an idiotic question by someone before, she always felt that something had changed.

Qiantiao squeaked with some lack of confidence, "I've already dealt with it pretty much."

"As far as your level of wound treatment is concerned? It may not be healed in ten days and a half."

With a disgusted expression on her face, Su Lun interrupted her very rudely, and said softly, "Turn around."

"."

For the first time, Qianjo felt that he was at a disadvantage against Su Lun.

However, thinking about it, she also turned around and faced him without reservation.

Su Lun didn't look sideways, looked at the randomly bandaged knife wound on her abdomen, and frowned, "You still say you can handle it yourself, that's all?"

"."

Chijo was so trained that he lost his temper and retorted. But looking at that pure gaze again, he rolled his eyes and let him manipulate him.

Su Lun began to treat the wound, debride the wound, expel the alien energy, and suture

Because Su Lun has learned a good way to save his life, [Rune King Kong] did not cause him many skin injuries. Except for the abdomen, everything else will be taken care of soon.

But Qiantiao's injury was much more serious. After the upper limbs were treated, there were also many lower limb wounds.

Under Su Lun's tough attitude, Chijo also took off his lower body armor.

Caozhe, Peimu, Liyu, Yidang and the armor pieces were disassembled one by one.

In the end, even the close-fitting underwear failed to stay.

Thousands of beautiful carcasses were exposed to the air without any cover, and she stood there with a slightly helpless expression.

Emotions are felt.

If it was said that Su Lun's eyes were not squinting at all before, when the processing was almost done later, his eyes were a little needy.

However, Qianjo has nothing to do with this thick-skinned guy.

I wanted to close my eyes and pretend I didn't know it, but that damned guy still wanted to talk.

"Hey, sister Qiantiao, looking at it carefully, you have a really good figure."

The important injuries have all been dealt with, and it is the first time for Su Lun to appreciate Qiantiao's figure so closely.

There is no cover, tsk tsk. Feast your eyes.

"Concentrate on messing with you, please don't aim randomly?"

"oh."

"What does 'oh' mean? Just 'oh', you shouldn't restrain yourself? Also, you can just use the spider spear on the buttocks. It itches me a lot."

"."

Oh come on, you should watch and watch.

This rascal's behavior made Qiantiao helpless.

Although the eyes and hands were not in order, it was really healing after all.

You can't really beat him, can you?

And Chijo didn't really mind, after all, he was already very familiar, but it just felt really weird.

She never thought of this situation.

If someone else dared to look at it like this, they would have been chopped down long ago.

Fortunately, Su Lun didn't make the atmosphere awkward. After treating all the wounds, he really restrained himself and cleaned up the surgical instruments.

Qianjo put on a loose white cotton coat, covered by a robe, and the strange feeling disappeared.

Both of them were very tired from the fierce battle before.

Even Su Lun, whom Lolotta dubbed as a "study madman", didn't even want to meditate, he just wanted to sleep well.

The dilapidated temple has air leaks everywhere, and snowflakes are falling from the dilapidated roof, which always gives people a feeling of desolation and loneliness.

Su Lun laid out soft cushions in the tent, and the two of them lay there.

It used to be a normal way of getting along.

They have shared the same room and slept together countless times.

But it turns out that the relationship is so wonderful, the more we get along, the closer we become as time goes by.

When the two first met, they were well-behaved. After getting familiar with each other, they are not too fussy about each other. Then they were in the same room for a long time, they didn't even shy away from taking off their clothes, and then, some intimate contact became normal.

I didn't think there was anything wrong, as if it should be like this after getting familiar with it.

The two lay on their backs on the mat, each covered with their own quilts, their thoughts racing.

Walking on the line of life and death tonight, both of them sighed in retrospect.

While still asleep, they also chatted.

"Boy Su Lun, do you think we can go out?"

"I don't know. The effect of the medicine lasts for a month, and we still have enough time to figure out a solution."

"What if we can't get out?"

"If you can't get out, you can't get out. However, I already have some ideas, and there may not be no chance."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you want to come here to the land of the underworld. It is a great blessing in life to see the dead sword masters. Ah, if I can enter the 'Sword Saint Realm' in this life, I will have no regrets."

"Well, I think so too. This Fujiwara Hayato has really written an amazing masterpiece. It really makes people more and more curious."

"."

Both of them are in a good mood, they are not in the slightest despair because of the current situation, they are very open-minded.

But while chatting, Qianjo suddenly felt that the quilt was lifted, and then felt very crowded.

In normal times, it must be caused by her own bold sleeping posture. But still awake, she knew very well that she hadn't moved.

Qianjo muttered: "Hey, why are you squeezing in? It's very crowded."

In the darkness, there was Su Lun's response: "The cold wind makes it a bit cold."

"Oh, is it?"

Qianjo sneered, as if feeling something, "Then what does it mean to put your hand up?"

Su Lun: "Ah, I have a wound, it's convenient to keep my hands like this"

Hearing this, Qiantiao pursed his lips, and choked back: "Hey, you are really welcome."

This guy is really thick-skinned.

The last time I was at Chamingshan Hot Spring, I still asked a question, but now I can get started naturally?

However, after all, she didn't take that hand off.

With just these few words, Su Lun beside him seemed to be asleep and didn't move around. The awkward feeling that made her feel quickly faded away.

"."

In the darkness, Qiantiao's face was full of helplessness, and she didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with her nervousness. Then he moved his body, changed a comfortable position, and closed his eyes lazily.

Let him go.

Have a good night's sleep.
