Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.23 - The Remaining Soul
Xiang Yang had previously wanted to browse through the cave, yet no matter what happened, he suddenly found himself in a very different place.
A place where there were abundant cultivation resources. Xiang Yang still did not know where he was now, whether it was still in the realm of cultivators or in another world anymore.
The scenery around unceasingly made Xiang Yang amazed, because every step there must be a high level of herbs that even he did not know what kind it was.
There were also many herbs the main ingredient of making Dragon Body Potions, but the age of the herbs was very old, maybe thousands of years and above.
The older the age of herbs, the more valuable they are.
Not only were the main ingredients of the Dragon Body Potion thousands of years old, but almost all of the herbs there were already very old, at least hundreds of years old.
It's really incredible.
One thing that made Xiang Yang confused was something like the sun above him. Xiang Yang was sure that it was not the sun because it was only a few hundred meters away from the ground.
Xiang Yang turned his head towards Cai'er on his right shoulder who looked more enthusiastic and amazed than him.
"Do you know what this place is Cai'er?" ask Xiang Yang.
The little snake quickly nodded.
"Oh, what is this place? Explain quickly!" Xiang Yang was enthusiastic.
"Kesss.kess...tssaahhh....!" Cai'er just hissing not clearly saying what.
"Here you go, maybe I should never ask you anything!" Xiang Yang smiled wryly, he was too enthusiastic to forget that Cai'er could not talk.
Cai'er pouted hearing that.
Xiang Yang continued to walk through the place, looking back and forth where all the places were filled with high-level herbs.
Until finally, Xiang Yang saw a small hut in the middle of the herb garden, there was a path leading to the little hut.
"Is this where someone lives? I better check it out first, if this herb garden belongs to someone and I just take it, I might be scolded all out!" xiang Yang said then walked towards the small cottage.
Upon arriving at the door, Xiang Yang hesitated for a moment before finally knocking on the door of the cottage several times.
Xiang Yang waited for a while, but no answer made the young man again knock on the door.
"Senior sorry to interrupt!" Xiang Yang thought the owner of the cottage was sleeping so he called out to him, feeling that he would get a response.
Waiting for 1 minute, there was still no answer, not even any voices from inside.
"Is there no one inside?" Although a little hesitant, but Xiang Yang still opened the door of the cottage slowly "Sorry to disturb..."
*Shelf!
The cottage door instantly collapsed after Xiang Yang opened it, making the young man blink several times feeling that he would get into trouble if the owner of the cottage came to scold him and ask for compensation.
"I just opened the door, not intending to break it!" Xiang Yang quickly said, then looked ahead.
Instantly he was stunned to see the contents of the small hut that only had one room.
In the room, on the left and right side of the room there is a 2 meter high bookcase with a width of 4 meters, of course, the two cabinets are filled with books.
But that was not what made Xiang Yang stunned. At the end of the room, there is a bed on which there is a corpse that only remains the skeleton of the bone, but the corpse is still wearing full clothes without anything lacking.
"Is that person the owner of this place?" Xiang Yang walked slowly closer to the skeleton of the corpse.
Xiang Yang paid his last respects to the skeleton, cupping his hands in salute.
"Pardon this junior's unwillingness who has walked into the house and disrupted the senior's rest! Honestly, junior also did not understand why he could suddenly be in this place so don't blame junior!" Despite speaking to the dead, Xiang Yang still defended "As a junior who respects seniors, I am Xiang Yang who will pay his last respects by burying senior's remains in this land!"
Xiang Yang took out a cloth hanging on the wall of the room, it seemed like it was used as a blanket earlier by the skeleton of the corpse while it was still alive.
Just as Xiang Yang wanted to wrap the skeleton of the corpse, his movements came to a halt as he saw a ring on the middle finger of the skeleton's right hand.
Xiang Yang ambushed several times, although the ring looked ordinary, yet there was a mysterious aura enveloping the ring.
"It's not that I'm being disrespectful, but rather than being a useless item worn by a corpse, I'd better take it!" Mumbled Xiang Yang inwardly.
If the skeleton of the corpse was still alive, and knowing Xiang Yang's words, perhaps he would directly hit the young man's head violently.
Xiang Yang took the ring carefully so that the skeletal finger would not break.
"Later I'll find out what this ring really is!" Xiang Yang placed the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
After which, Xiang Yang started wrapping the skeleton of the corpse then carefully carried it out.
Xiang Yang made a tomb behind the hut, buried the senior's corpse there and placed the stone as a gravestone.
Xiang Yang returned to do the honor of "May your rest soundly senior! From now on I will take care of your herb garden, so seniors can rest easy!"
Cai'er who was on Xiang Yang's right shoulder also lowered his head in salute.
Suddenly the tomb let out a light, making Xiang Yang reflexively jump backwards.
"What's going on?" Xiang Yang prepared with all the bad possibilities he thought.
A moment later, a light shot out from the tomb, it formed a body figure until it appeared to be a middle-aged man with his slightly transparent body, only the upper body from the stomach to the head is visible, while the subordinates only look white smoke.
"Calm down young man, I won't hurt you!" The middle-aged man said with a tone full of dignity.
"Who are you?!" Xiang Yang became very alert.
"I am the soul remnant of the bone skeleton you just buried!" The middle-aged man smiled gently.
"So you are the soul of that senior!" Xiang Yang cupped his hands.
Even so the young man still remained vigilant, he still did not believe 100% in the soul before him.
It does not rule out the possibility if the soul has evil intentions such as taking over his body or something.
"Haha! You don't need that polite young man, I'm just a remnant soul that's about to disappear and will tell you a few things!" The middle-aged man found out that Xiang Yang was still wary of him.
Well, he did not mind it either because what Xiang Yang did was natural.
