20. Chapter XX

Zhu Yuanyu got the dagger, so he wanted to cast a spell on it immediately, so that it would recognize Zhu Dafu as the master.

Just do what he said, Zhu Yuanyu closed the doors and windows of the room and stayed inside by himself. He placed the dagger on the table, then took out the rune paper and began to draw. These painted talismans will be of great use later, helping him to successfully cast spells to awaken the spirit of the dagger.

In this world, everything has existed for a long time, and there is a chance to give birth to spirituality, and the dagger knows at a glance that it is also an antiquity, and it already has spirituality, but it is not complete enough, and it needs external help to promote its growth.

Pull out the dagger and place the scabbard next to it.

Zhu Yuanyu arranged the dagger and the talisman together into a formation, the talisman emitted yellow light one after another, and the words written in cinnabar lit up with red light, each intersecting and penetrating.

The dagger shook on the table, and at last it began to bounce violently.

It lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the dagger suddenly shone brightly, and then it gradually fell silent, as if nothing had happened, only the surface was more dazzling.

The blade was as smooth as a mirror, and a red pattern appeared near the hilt, which was a miniature version of the formation that Zhu Yuanyu had just laid out with a dagger and a talisman.

Zhu Yuanyu gently stroked the dagger, the dagger shook slightly, as if in response, and he could feel that the dagger was full of joy.

The spell was successfully cast, and the dagger gave birth to a complete sword spirit, and then it only needed to let it recognize Zhu Dafu as the master.

Zhu Yuanyu was about to put the dagger into the scabbard, when he suddenly had a new idea.

The fact that this scabbard can be paired with a dagger for many years proves that this scabbard is not an ordinary product either. The dagger can give birth to spirituality, but what about the scabbard? Is it also possible? Or is it already born but you don't find it?

Zhu Yuanyu put down the dagger and only picked up the scabbard. This change of thinking immediately changed the visual angle, and it really made him see the problem.

The scabbard actually revealed a spirituality, if he hadn't deliberately observed it, he might not have been able to find it, it seems that it was covered up by the dagger's spirituality before.

"It's true, it seems that my father's character has exploded. ”

Although it is rare for a treasure to have two spirits, the question is, what should the spirit of this scabbard be used for? The dagger can protect the master, but what about the scabbard? It can't all be the protectors, that is too wasteful, rare spirituality.

The scabbard is copper gilt, Zhu Yuanyu took a look, and the surface of the scabbard was engraved with a divine beast, as if it was ...... Pixiu?

Yes, Pixiu!

Pixiu, also known as "warding off evil spirits and Tianlu", is a kind of ferocious beast in myths and legends. Pixiu has a mouth without anus, can swallow all things without leaking, only in and out, the magic is special, so there is the meaning of attracting wealth into the treasure, absorbing the wealth of the Quartet, but also has the effect of driving away the evil spirit, bringing good luck, one of the five ancient Rui beasts, called the Fortune Divine Beast. In addition to the effects of attracting wealth, good luck, and warding off evil spirits, Pixiu also has the functions of town house, Tai Sui, and promoting marriage. Pixiu is rich in meaning, people believe that it can bring joy and good luck, and people often used Pixiu as the name of the army in ancient times. (The above content is from the Internet)

Zhu Yuanyu already knew the correct way to use the scabbard, and the next thing was to cast the spell.

After a quarter of an hour, it was done, and finally waited for Zhu Dafu to go home at night and give it to him.

In the evening, it was just dark, and Zhu Dafu came back.

Holding the dagger given to him by his son, Zhu Dafu smiled happily, "Good son, my father and I will definitely carry this dagger with me!"

"What's silly, the food is ready, eat it while it's hot. Wang Chunmei glanced at him with disgust.

"Ahem, um, eat, eat. Zhu Dafu put away the dagger.

Zhu Yuanyu smiled.

......

In the evening, Zhu Yuanyu was reading in the study.

Suddenly, he sensed a change in the talisman, as if it was Wang Jinyi's.

Zhu Yuanyu frowned, something should happen, right?

"Zhuangzhuang, go and help me prepare the carriage, I'll go to the palace. ”

"Yes. ”

did not disturb Zhu Dafu and Wang Chunmei, Zhu Yuanyu took Li Zhuangzhuang to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace but was told that Wang Jinyi had not returned from his outing, Zhu Yuanyu thought about it for a while and rushed to the lake again. When I arrived at the lake, it was really as Wang Jinyi said, on the lake at night, the flower boats were full of lanterns, and the lake was sparkling, which looked really interesting.

Zhu Yuanyu had good eyesight, and after a while, he found the carriage of the palace, and the coachman happened to be there. walked over and asked, it turned out that Wang Jinyi had an appointment with a group of friends to enjoy the moon on the flower boat tonight.

Looking in the direction pointed by the coachman, Zhu Yuanyu concentrated and could vaguely see several familiar faces standing on the bow of the boat, who were friends who called Wang Jinyi brothers and sisters on weekdays.

Zhu Yuanyu walked over to the boat docked by the lake, "Boatman, go to the side of that boat." "Throw a tael of silver to the boatman.

The boatman originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the silver, he smiled, nodded and asked Zhu Yuanyu to get on the boat.

Zhu Yuanyu and Li Zhuangzhuang got on the boat together, the boatman supported the penny, and the boat drove slowly and slowly approached the flower boat.

"Huh, isn't that Brother Zhu?"

"It seems to be ......"

"It's me!Brother Zhu—why are you here too? Come on!"

"Hurry up and put the rope ladder down......"

When Zhu Yuanyu and the others climbed onto the flower boat, everyone gathered around and asked questions. Zhu Yuanyu coped with greeting them while looking for Wang Jinyi with his eyes.

"Brother Zhu is here to enjoy the moon?"

"You too?" Zhu Yuanyu asked rhetorically.

"Yes, how can you live up to such a beautiful day...... By the way, your cousin Jinyi is also there—huh? Where's the person? ...... who was still there just now."

"It seems that I saw him go to the stern, go, let's go and come back to him. "Someone mentions yì.

"That's very good. ”

So the group went to the stern of the boat again.

When it came to the stern, there was no one.

"Strange, why isn't it there?" someone wondered.

Zhu Yuanyu glanced at it, then walked to a corner and pulled out a drunken boatman.

Pat the boatman's face, "Wake up!"

The boatman snorted, a foul smell wafted out of his mouth, Zhu Yuanyu put down him to cover his nose, and caught a glimpse of a puddle of vomit on the floor, and immediately felt nauseous.

"My cousin isn't here, why don't you go to the cabin and look for it? ”

"Alright, then we'll go to the cabin and have a look. ”

After they left, Zhu Yuanyu's face suddenly sank.

"Young Master, aren't we going to look for Young Master Biao at the bow of the boat?" Li Zhuangzhuang saw Zhu Yuanyu standing still, so he asked suspiciously.

Zhu Yuanyu shook his head, "There's no need to look for it, cousin, he's not on the ship." ”

The flower boat has not docked tonight from the time it left until Zhu Yuanyu got on the boat, but Wang Jinyi just disappeared and seemed to disappear out of thin air. It is unbelievable that a big living person disappeared for no reason.

Zhu Yuanyu looked down at the lake, even if there was bright moonlight shining and dazzling lanterns shining, it was still pitch black under the lake, making it impossible to see through the bottom.

Zhu Yuanyu thought to himself, if the person was not on the boat, then it was very likely to be at the bottom of the lake.

The talisman given to Wang Jinyi has not been destroyed, which proves that he is still alive, but the situation is still dangerous.

Zhu Yuanyu had to find him first, and then he could save him.

But the question is, how do you find it?
