Volume 1 Dragon Swims in Shallow Water Chapter 31 Making Ritual Weapons
"Ugly daughter-in-law sees in-laws? No, I'm not an ugly daughter-in-law, and I'm not right, that's not called in-laws. Zhou Yang hurriedly shook his head to throw out the messy thoughts, and the tea chat with Mu Xinyu in the past seemed to him to be a mere reminiscence between playmates.
It's still early, and there are still three or four hours before dinner, so let's practice for a while.
Before the "Jingle Bell" entered the cultivation state, the phone rang again.
"Xiaoyang, are you at home?" Jiang Tianming's voice came from the phone.
"Brother Jiang, what's the matter?" Zhou Yang wondered.
"There are three days left until the old man's 100th birthday, and you are invited to participate in it at that time. Jiang Tianming solemnly proposed an invitation to Zhou Yang, which was also his decision after careful consideration, the people who could participate in this kind of banquet were all people of Nanzhou, and he wanted to take this opportunity to let Zhou Yang contact some big names in advance, and make his life path simpler in the future.
Zhou Yang was stunned after hearing this, where did he not understand what the other party meant, what status he had, to put it bluntly, he was not qualified to participate at all, Jiang Tianming's approach made Zhou Yang unable to say the second feeling except for being moved, and only if he regarded himself as a real friend would he do so.
"By the way, do you remember that Master Yan from Burma? He has already arrived in Nanzhou, do you have time to eat together in the evening?" Without waiting for Zhou Yang to reply, Jiang Tianming continued to ask.
"Okay, Brother Jiang, I'll go over for the old man's birthday, but I may not have time tonight, so I just called me to her house for dinner. ”
"Mu Xinyu, you kid is not shallow, Bai Xiaorou... Mu Xinyu... You're better than my brother and me, poof. Jiang Tianming joked, to be honest, in fact, with his identity as the eldest and youngest of the Jiang family, why worry about not having a woman, but in this regard, the Jiang family's style is very good, and the disciples of the family are never allowed to spend time outside.
"Brother Jiang, I really have nothing to do with Bai Xiaorou..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, remember three days later, I'll ask Guangsheng to pick you up then. No matter how Zhou Yang explained, Jiang Tianming just smiled and didn't accept the stubble.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang had no intention of cultivating, and there were two things to do in front of him.
It is impossible to go to Mu Xinyu's house at night empty-handed, and since the old man of the Jiang family is 100 years old, he also needs to prepare a gift since he has invited himself.
Aunt Yang is okay over there, after all, it's just a junior to visit the elders, and it's okay to spend money to buy something, but the Jiang family can't be casual, the old man has never seen anything in his life? Jiang Tianming went to Myanmar to find a gift in order to prepare a gift, and he must not be so casual, no matter how he said it, it was also his brother's family matter, and he couldn't be vague.
But what should be prepared? Zhou Yang, who can be bought with money, doesn't have to worry, although he is not very rich now, but there are still more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.
Suddenly, a word appeared in Zhou Yang's mind, magic weapon!
When Jiang Tianming first went to Myanmar, wasn't it also to buy a magic weapon for the old man, and he remembered that Ah Wei seemed to have said that he could also make magic weapons, so why did he forget about this stubble.
"Ah Wei, did you say before that I can also make magic weapons?" Zhou Yang seemed to be speaking into the air.
"Do you want to make mortal weapons?" The mortal weapon that Ah Wei said is also the magic weapon that Zhou Yang said.
"Yes, it's a mortal weapon, how to make it?" After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yang remembered that Ah Qi had said that there were magic weapons in the cultivation realm.
"This is simple, just use the aura to depict different formations in the items, but this formation is of little use to you, you are a monk yourself, and the aura has formed a natural formation through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, it can be said that you are now a mortal weapon. Ah Wei's words seemed to open up another new knowledge for Zhou Yang.
"I am a mortal weapon myself, a natural formation?" Zhou Yang was extremely interested in the first time he came into contact with such a statement.
"Yes, every monk is already equivalent to carving the formation for himself from the moment of cultivation, and the achievement of cultivation determines the level of the formation, this may be a little complicated, and you can only understand it when you break through to a higher level in the future, I will first teach you the formation used by ordinary mortal weapons. Then, Zhou Yang's mind appeared with seemingly complex but easy-to-understand patterns.
"This is the Qi Gathering Array, this is the Small Xuanwu Array, this is the Small Phantom Array, this is the Gathering Evil Array, this is the ....." Ah Wei took the trouble to inform Zhou Yang of the purpose of each formation one by one.
When Zhou Yang went through all the formations, a new question suddenly arose, "Ah Wei, is it possible to depict different formations in one object at the same time?"
"Yes, but it's too difficult, not to mention the unique requirements for the carrier, just carving the formation itself requires a great deal of mental consumption, and the average monk in the agile period can't withstand such consumption. Ah Wei's words dispelled Zhou Yang's thoughts.
"Then what are the requirements for the carrier of ordinary mortal weapons?" Zhou Yang continued to ask.
"As long as you can seal the aura, it doesn't matter how big or small, such as jade or some special materials to form a carrier, just like your Nine Dragon Sword. ”
"Jade, that's easy to do, although your own piece of dragon topaz has no aura, there is still no problem as a carrier, even if you get it on the market, it is a high-grade jade. Zhou Yang thought so.
Since you've decided to make your own artifacts, let's get started.
Regarding the dragon topper, Zhou Yang had thought that although there was no cultivation value, he could still get a lot of money by selling it, but now that he had a better choice, Zhou Yang felt that he would simply cut the chalcedony into pieces and sell it after making it into a magic weapon, so that he could maximize the benefits.
About half an hour later, dozens of pieces of chopped chalcedony were already placed in front of Zhou Yang, of different sizes, with sharp weapons like the Nine Dragon Sword, there was no need to worry about damaging the jade flesh during the cutting.
Picking up the most corner piece, Zhou Yang tried to follow the formation pattern in his mind, quickly condensed a wisp of aura on his fingertips, and slowly sent it into the jade to start carving.
"Concentrate, hold your breath, the most important thing in the formation is balance. Ah Wei's voice appeared in his ears at the right time.
Zhou Yang first depicted the small Xuanwu array, which is also the simplest of many formations, this formation is mostly used for protection, after being made into a magic weapon, when the wearer encounters danger or impact, it will take the initiative to excite once, but the small Xuanwu array is not a universal protection, at most it can only withstand no more than three layers of attacks, that is, the power of almost a thousand catties, and after using it once, the aura in the formation will disappear completely, and it will no longer have an effect.
As the minutes passed, Zhou Yang stared intently at the jade block in his hand, and fine beads of sweat had begun to appear on his forehead.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang felt a chaotic aura fluctuation coming from the jade piece, and hurriedly stopped carving, but it was still a step too late.
There was a muffled sound, and the whole piece of jade turned into powder.
"The speed is not stable enough, the balance is broken. Strange reminded.
Zhou Yang was a little distressed, don't look at this piece of jade is a corner, it is not a problem to sell it for one or two thousand.
Again!
Pick up another corner and re-depict it, it is still a small Xuanwu array.
Ten minutes later, the "bang" jade piece turned into powder again.
"The speed is okay, but the formation pattern is off. ”
Again!
"Bang. ”
Again!
"Bang"
Zhou Yang's heart was dripping blood, he failed four times in a row, and in the blink of an eye, 180,000 yuan was lost.
Again! The successive failures aroused Zhou Yang's competitive spirit, and at this time, all the money and money were left behind.
Every failure is the accumulation of experience, Zhou Yang's face began to gradually pale, and the consumption of spiritual energy was not very large, mainly because he felt tired after concentrating for a long time.
This is the fifth piece of jade in the corner, regardless of the dripping sweat, Zhou Yang's eyes are fixed on the jade piece, his fingertips slowly wander on the jade piece, and the surface of the jade piece has begun to gradually show a strange color.
When the last stroke was finished, it seemed to drain Zhou Yang's last strength.
"Ning!" Zhou Yang gritted his teeth, his fingers flicked, and the jade piece suddenly shone brightly, and then converged instantly, and the original dark yellow surface showed a drop of green light.
"Whew, it's finally done, it's too tiring. Zhou Yang wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly recuperated.
Almost an hour later, Zhou Yang regained his senses, and his whole person was full of energy again.
"This is the magic weapon. Zhou Yang played with the jade piece in his hand, which was the first magic weapon he made, and it had a different meaning.
Without thinking much about it, looking at the dozens of jade pieces in front of him, Zhou Yang began to make the second piece.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Ning!" With the first successful experience, Zhou Yang did not take any more detours, and successfully made the second magic weapon, and the consumption of his mind was still within the bearable range.
This time it depicts the Qi Gathering Array, which belongs to a small Spirit Gathering Array, which can absorb the aura around the wearer in a small area and subtly improve the wearer's physique.
Looking at the two jade artifacts in front of him, Zhou Yang was a little complacent, and began to reverie what a fortune it would be if all the jade pieces were made into magic weapons.
However, I don't know much about the market price of magic weapons now, and I still have to find an opportunity to investigate more another day.
And to make all these jade pieces into magic weapons is not something that can be completed in a while, Zhou Yang set himself a goal to make a magic weapon every day in the future.
At about half past six in the evening, Zhou Yang came to Mu Xinyu's house with a gift bag in one hand, to be honest, this was the first time he had grown up to visit his former relatives and friends alone, he bought a box of honey for Aunt Yang, and also brought a box of tea to Mu Xinyu's father.
Pressing the doorbell, the door was opened by a strange young man whom Zhou Yang had never seen.
"Hello, you are Zhou Yang, please come in, my godmother and Xinyu have been waiting for you for a long time. Although this person was smiling, he always gave Zhou Yang an uncomfortable feeling.
After entering the door, Zhou Yang found that he was not the only one tonight, there were three or four young people sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, but he didn't know him.
"Xiaoyang!" At this time, a beautiful woman who looked like she was in her thirties, with a good face and a generous and decent dress, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, with an apron on her body, and when she saw Zhou Yang's arrival, she smiled happily, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She is Aunt Yang!
