"It turned out to be a combination weapon, but since the structure has been drawn so clearly, it is not difficult to build. Zhao Ping glanced at it, understood Shi Mu's request, and spoke.

"That's good, Brother Zhao will use all the meteoric iron, the heavier the weight, the better. Shi Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said.

The reason why he wanted to create such a weapon was because although the Wind Galloping Sword Technique he had cultivated was a martial arts for martial artists, it had been quite easy to use for so many years.

On the other hand, it is because in the "Red Ape Fire Sutra", in addition to the cultivation method, there is also a subtle stick martial art that can be used by martial artists, and it is necessary to use a stick to perform it.

In this way, he thought of a detachable and separable long-handled weapon recorded in the "Secret Book of Clockwork", with a complete set of knives and sticks, and could take care of both.

In addition, long weapons have a wide attack range, and if they are heavy enough, they can play a greater advantage in battle.

"However, the process of smelting meteorite iron is complicated and time-consuming, and although I have previous experience in making black knives, I estimate that it will take two months at the earliest. Zhao Ping groaned slightly, and added.

"No problem, I'll pick it up in two months. As for all the expenses during the period, I will give you the original amount afterwards, and the reward will not disappoint you. Shi Mu smiled and stood up.

"What did Senior Brother Shi say, your current status is noble, and being able to patronize my blacksmith shop is a living signboard, so there is no need for compensation!" Zhao Ping waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly excused himself.

Shi Mu laughed, didn't refuse, chatted with Zhao Ping for a few words, and then got up to say goodbye.

Out of the blacksmith shop, Shi Mu groaned for a while, and did not return to the cave, but headed towards the thirteenth peak.

On this new weapon, he naturally also had to burn the rune array, and he also needed some venom from the golden lizard.

Half an hour later, Shi Mu came to Uncle Ju's stone building again.

He was about to knock on the door, his brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on the ground in front of the stone door.

The ground is dusty. There was not the slightest trace of footprints in front of the door, and looking at the situation, I am afraid that no one had entered or left the house for nearly a month.

"Could it be that Uncle Ju has been in retreat in the house these days?" Shi Mu guessed in his heart.

"Uncle Ju, disciple Shi Mu has something to visit!" he knocked on the door. Raise your voice and shout.

After waiting for a moment, there seemed to be no response from inside the door.

Shi Mu frowned, and shouted a few more times, and could only hear the whirring wind on the top of the peak in his ears.

"Not here?" Before he went to the Scripture Pavilion, Uncle Ju was not there.

Shi Mu hesitated. Press your hand on the door and push it gently.

The door was not locked, but I don't know if it was because of the ban, but the stone door, which didn't look thick, was unusually heavy.

Shi Mu used almost fifty percent of his strength before the stone door slowly opened, making a squeaky grinding sound.

The entrance is a hall, but the light inside is rather dim.

"Is Uncle Ju here?" he stood at the door, and did not go in immediately, but shouted again.

"Is anyone finally coming? I'm going to starve to death...... Ouch...... "A hoarse voice came out of the depths of the hall.

Shi Mu was stunned, although his voice was hoarse. But he still heard the voice of the owner.

"Cai'er?"

He walked in, and a thin layer of dust had fallen from the hall, and it seemed that no one had moved in a long time.

Shi Mu followed the sound and came to the corner of the hall, where a golden cage was hung, and a colored parrot was squatting inside, which was Cai'er.

"I remember you, you're the human named Stone!"

Cai'er looked gloomy and sluggish at the moment, but when she saw Shi Mu. It immediately raised its head, and there was a hint of excitement in its voice.

"My name is Shi Mu. Shi Mu was stunned, and corrected with some tears and laughter.

"Shi Mu, Shi Mu, whatever your name is! Give me some water and food, but I haven't tasted water for more than ten days. Cai'er flapped her wings and shouted.

Shi Mu frowned slightly, and did not open the cage to let the parrot out.

He waved out a water bag, filled the sink in the cage with water, and then took out a few more black nuts and threw them away.

The pits of these green pistas. It was bought in a small shop before Shi Mu came, and he originally planned to feed this parrot.

Cai'er let out an excited cry, couldn't wait to pounce, gulped down the water, quickly drank most of the water in the sink, and then devoured a few black nuts, and then stopped unsatisfied.

"Quack! I almost starved to death, but I was so comfortable to eat. Cai'er fed and drank to her heart's content, patted her chest with her wings, her eyes narrowed comfortably into a slit, and exclaimed.

"What's going on here, how does it look like no one has been here for a long time, Uncle Ju?" Shi Mu asked.

"You said that damn fat man, he went to the underground secret room a month ago, and he still hasn't come out, it's really unreliable, he almost starved me to death!" Cai'er was furious, repeating the words that almost starved to death.

When Shi Mu heard this, his face changed slightly, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"Do you know what Uncle Ju is doing down there?" he asked with a deep groan.

"How would I know!" Cai'er exclaimed angrily, and then shouted for Shi Mu to let it out.

Shi Mu ignored the noisy parrot, thought for a while, and walked to a wall deep in the hall.

The last time he followed Uncle Ju into the underground secret room, he entered from here.

Smack!

Shi Mu recalled the way Uncle Ju opened the secret room last time, and slapped his palm on a place on the wall.

Nothing happened......

"Quack!" came the mocking cry of a parrot behind him.

"Do you know how to open the door of the secret room?" Shi Mu turned to look.

"I naturally know, if you want me to tell you, just let me out first. The parrot exclaimed triumphantly.

Shi Mu sighed silently and opened the golden birdcage.

The parrot flapped its wings and swooped out of its cage, swirling and dancing in the hall like a soothing muscle, screaming excitedly for a while, and then fell leisurely.

"Alright, now tell me how to open the door to the secret room. Shi Mu said.

"For the sake of you being more pleasing to the eye than that fat man, I'll tell you. The parrot spread its wings and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.

"That fat man is as timid as a mouse, the opening of the entrance to the secret room is very complicated, and multiple mechanisms need to be opened at the same time, the place you just shot is correct, but the position under your feet is not right. The parrot said proudly.

Shi Mu was a little surprised when he heard this, the last time he entered the secret room, he didn't find this detail, according to what this parrot said, Uncle Ju seemed to be a little too careful, it was just a secret room.

Under the guidance of the parrot, Shi Mu stepped on the ground somewhere with his feet, slapped his palms on the wall, and slowly exerted force.

Click!

There was a soft thud, and the wall slowly cracked, revealing a pitch-black passage.

There was a hint of joy on his face, and he was about to speak, when his face changed suddenly.

In the passage, a foul smell came out, and I felt sick.

Shi Mu covered his nose with one hand, his body took a step back, and the parrot screamed, spread its wings, and flew out.

"It's the smell of decomposing corpses...... Could it be ......" Shi Mu's eyes flickered and looked into the depths of the passage, and suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed.

He was about to enter the secret room when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the parrot.

"Cai'er, I'm going down to see the situation, I'm afraid that something happened to Uncle Ju, do you want to come together?" Shi Mu asked, this parrot elf was weird, and he knew much more about Uncle Ju's affairs than him.

"We parrots are all good birds, and we will definitely not go to such a dirty place!" exclaimed Cai'er's tail feathers, trembling slightly.

Shi Mu shook his head, it seemed that this parrot was not only noisy, but also very timid.

He no longer paid attention to Cai'er, silently ran the exercises, protected his whole body with his true qi, and carefully walked into the passage.

He had been here once, and he had circled down the passage to a secret room.

Entering the secret room, the foul smell of decay suddenly reached its peak.

In the center of the secret room is a circular circle the size of a zhang, and a spirit stone is inserted in the circle.

These spirit stones were still emitting bursts of light, and the spiritual power inside didn't seem to have been used up yet, obviously the magic circle suddenly stopped in operation.

And next to the magic circle, this bloated figure sitting cross-legged was Uncle Ju, and the stench came from him.

Seeing this, Shi Mu's face changed.

He looked carefully in the secret room, found no other signs of danger, and walked quickly to Uncle Ju's side.

Uncle Ju has been dead for a long time, his head is hanging down, and his body has begun to decompose.

Shi Mu looked at Uncle Ju's body, there were no traces of external injuries on it, and it was obviously not killed by someone.

Not far from Uncle Ju's corpse, there was a silver cage with a three-legged lizard lying in it, which was Uncle Ju's golden lizard pet, which had no breath, but its body was not decomposed, as if it had just died.

Shi Mu showed a wry smile, and then his eyes fell on the circular magic circle in front of Uncle Ju, and he looked at it twice, and his expression was suddenly stunned.

This magic circle was exactly the one he had arranged when he was exploring the necromantic interface with Uncle Ju.

"Could it be that Uncle Ju is trying to explore the necromancy interface again, what happened when the soul entered the alien dimension......" Shi Mu guessed in his heart.

When he first explored the necromantic interface, Uncle Ju had told him a lot that it was very common to explore the dangers of different dimensions and scatter the soul in another dimension.

Shi Mu's eyes were a little gloomy and he sighed.

In the Black Demon Gate, the only elder who is quite familiar with him is Uncle Ju.

He suddenly let out a soft sigh from his mouth, and his gaze fell on Uncle Ju's left hand.

Uncle Ju's corpse had almost changed color and decayed, but only the left hand seemed to have no trace of decay and remained intact. (To be continued.) )
