Chapter 3: Double Shadows
It's a big temptation for Zilong to let the shadow be his own shadow, when the others saw that the shadow mouse could be a hundred meters away from him, they welcomed their attention and respect, if he had a "double shadow" on his body, it was definitely more oppressive than his own dark blue eyes, and the shadow probably lived for thousands of years, and seemed to know something about what happened at that time, and he could ask him slowly in the future, but only if he knew the origin of the shadow.
"Why do you want me to kill God for you, do you have a grudge against him?" The god was so cruel in his life, there must have been many enemies, and Xuan Ying should be one of them!
"Since you took out the Spiral Light Bead, haven't you heard of its origin and what is sealed inside?" Xuan Ying asked puzzled, seeing Zilong shaking his head, he sighed and continued: " The Spiral Light Bead is a treasure thousands of years ago, it can protect the soul from being destroyed, and there is an endless aura in the Spiral Light Bead that can make the soul recover the body and rebuild the body, back then, a big battle between God and that person, the God was destroyed in the body, and his shadow of course could not escape the same fate, but the soul of God was sealed, and the soul of the shadow was almost broken, at this time the three masters of God collected the soul of the shadow in the Spiral Bead, expecting it to restore its former strength, but the three masters met the purple dragon when they passed through the blood condensation valley not long after, after a big battle of the four, the three masters disappeared, and the Spiral Light Bead was captured by the purple dragon, sealed in the cave of the Blood Condensation Valley with his own strength, you should always understand who I am when you hear this, and how valuable I am!"
Such an obvious fact that Zilong did not understand the truth, he was secretly happy in his heart, Zilong originally left behind such a treasure, Yan Yi once said that God relied on two things the most, one is his weapon, and the other is the shadow, that is, Xuan Ying, so you can think about how powerful Xuan Ying's power is, and if he makes his own shadow, his strength will rise to a height. Although Xuan Ying is not fully recovered, his potential is incalculable.
In the subsequent conversation, Zilong also learned the reason for the anomaly in the valley, Xuanying gradually cultivated a new body after thousands of years of spiritual energy nourishment, but this body was weak and could not withstand too much power, causing Xuanying's energy to overflow, breaking through the power of Zilong, making the blood condensation valley full of two powers, no one could step into that cave, and the days when Zilong went were the most intense, and Xuanying at that time did not expect that someone could completely eliminate those two powers.
In the days that followed, Xuan Ying knew that Zilong must be related to Zilong. Although Zilong is also in a hostile state with him, it is better than being tortured under the hands of God, and Zilong's Yuan Spirit can help him recover his body faster, of course he can cultivate with peace of mind, but the appearance of Yan Yu made him panic, even if God is born, he will not be afraid, because he used to be his shadow, I am afraid that no one knows better than him where God's weakness is, and it is not difficult to escape if he can't fight for his life.
However, if you add that terrifying weapon, it will be terrifying, I'm afraid no one knows how much power and blood that weapon is poured into God, if it is just an ordinary weapon in the hands of others, but in the hands of God it is the most terrifying existence, so he accelerated the speed of cultivation, just to have the ability to protect himself before the weapon is born, at least he has his own body to escape far, but the result of his doing so is to anger the master of the power, at that time he thought that it is better to let Zilong deal with God, maybe he can lead Zilong and that person to also。
That weapon is really so terrifying, after listening to Xuanying's words, Zilong couldn't help but think, from the bottom of his heart, Zilong didn't believe that no matter what kind of weapon it was, it was just an auxiliary tool to be used, even if he was strong, how powerful could he be, but Xuanying swore that what he said was true, so that Zilong had to think about it.
"That weapon is called the Shadow Sword, as fluctuating as his name, he may be a sword, a sword, or a living person, no one knows his true form except the gods, and you may not be able to recognize him when he appears in front of you!"
If it is really as Xuanying said, then Zilong knows that the road ahead must be bumpy, and I am afraid that Tianjia and Yushen Pavilion will have to pay a huge price, and this also indicates that the gods are about to descend on this continent again, bringing blood and rain to the Lixi Continent.
"Although the god and the Shadow Sword are difficult to deal with, don't be discouraged, don't forget that I am his shadow, I can't know him better, as long as I have my help, it will not be difficult to defeat him!" Xuan Ying felt that what he said was too serious, and it was easy to dispel Zilong's idea of destroying the god, so he comforted.
"Since you are his shadow, why do you want to destroy him, so that you will also disappear?" This is Zilong's biggest puzzle, Xuanying's words express his great dissatisfaction with God, and even want to kill him, which is really unbelievable.
"Master, it's ridiculous to say that he is my master, my master is not him at all, it was he who killed my former master and took me away, I know you can't understand it, but there are many secrets of the shadow that many people can't understand, the shadow is generally formed shortly after the master is born, and relying on the influence of the magic circle, a life-sharing contract is signed when the shadow is formed, which is why the master and the shadow can't be too far apart, and the state of one side can easily affect the other party, but this contract can be broken, of course, it's not easy, and it takes a great price, and the key is the spar that exists in the brain of the master and the shadow, that is, the contract between the two, if it is destroyed, those so-called restraints will not exist, but the corresponding shadow power will be much weaker.
At that time, the god killed my master after destroying the spar, and forced me to sign a life-sharing contract, but because I didn't do it voluntarily, he couldn't use much of my power, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so easily in the battle with that person, but I also want to thank that person for destroying the god's body and destroying the hedron at the same time, and I will never have the binding of the contract again!" Xuanying looked quite hated the god for killing his master, and his tone was full of intense anger.
It turned out to be so, after listening to Xuan Ying's explanation of the shadow, Zilong had a clear feeling, and he had gained a lot, and he had already faintly felt that this had something to do with the shadow when he probed the thing on Lang Qing's head that day, Xuan Ying's words just confirmed his hunch, if this was the case, it would be very simple for Xuan Ying to become his own shadow.
"Since you don't make a life-sharing treaty, then how can you become my shadow!" Although it can increase his strength, it also means that Xuan Ying will become his weakness, and Zilong still chooses to give up in comparison.
"Stupid, wouldn't it be nice to let me be like your shadow mouse, why do you have to sign those treaties, if you can really kill the gods, it's not too late to think about them!" "Shadow is tired of being bound, so he naturally doesn't want to be a real shadow, in fact, there is no life to share, even if he becomes a shadow and the shadow mouse, it is no different from the shadow mouse, all he worries about is the question of loyalty.
"Now that we have negotiated, then can I absorb your strength, as long as there are two more days I can have my own body, time is money and it can't be wasted, not to mention that when I have a body, I can help you, and when you see my true strength, you will know how cost-effective this deal is......" Xuanying saw that Zilong had been silent, thinking that he did not agree with his opinion, and hurriedly began to sell himself.
"It doesn't matter if you absorb it, but when you have a body, I want you to stay in the space I give you, and the time of your appearance can only be decided by me, otherwise I will only destroy the Spiral Light Bead!" Zilong said, stroking the smooth surface of the bead.
"Threat, this is a naked threat, but the master I promise your suggestion, please let me recover quickly! I will never say anything about what you ask me to do in the future!" "Ever since he came out of the Blood Condensation Valley and saw the outside world, he couldn't wait to get out of this small space even more, and he went out for this Xuanying.
Hearing Xuanying's compromise, Zilong smiled lightly, but the Yuan Spirit in his body surged towards the spiral light bead on his chest, this time Zilong did not let Xuan Ying absorb it to his heart's content, but controlled the speed of Yuan Ling loss by himself. Although Xuan Ying was dissatisfied, he had to bow his head under the eaves and had to endure it.
The area of the Lixi Continent seems to be particularly vast, and the distance between the cities is also very far, after Zilong and they traveled for five days, they finally saw the shadow of the city in the distance, this city is called Iron City. Although it is not as tall and prosperous as Gada and Nasu, it is only a medium-sized city, but it is very famous in the Lixi Continent, because most of the weapons on the continent are cast by this city, next to the city is a narrow canyon, there are rich mineral deposits in the canyon, the people in the city make a living by collecting ore and iron, and gradually form a grand scale, which also makes this small city rich and prosperous, attracting many merchants and nobles, once there was the most famous forger Yaai on the mainland, and every weapon he cast is quite famous, and many masters have been achieved。
After a few days of travel, several people were already tired, just enough to rest in the iron city, and when he walked into the city, Zilong was stimulated by the strong silver light and blocked his eyes with the back of his hand, and when his eyes finally adapted to the light, he found that the buildings here were all made of unusual ores, and under the direct sunlight, those ores emitted dazzling white light.
"This is the most common glow ore in Iron City, strong and durable, and it can also concentrate light, so the people of Iron City use it to build houses, it is said that every house in Iron City, the building can be inhabited for more than a thousand years, it can be called the strongest building on the continent!" Seeing the surprise in Zilong's eyes, Rioro explained on the side.
Walking through the wide streets, there are almost all kinds of weapon shops everywhere, all kinds of weapons are defeated in front of the door, many people gather in front of the door to choose weapons, the shop is full of sweaty strong men beating weapons, their shadows are bear-like strength shadows, and there are even children wielding small hammers to help.
In Tiecheng, you often see the figure of the nobles, and the different shades of blue eyes always attract the attention of countless people, in contrast, Zilong's team has not received too much attention, Zi Qianhua is now covered by sunglasses, in the eyes of these people, Zilong and his party are just rich children who like to pretend to be cool.
Although Zi Qianhua was there, they didn't go to the City Lord's Mansion in Iron City, but settled in a hotel that looked very clean, and now the most important thing for them was to recuperate, because they would probably face an extremely complicated and dangerous situation, not to mention the obstruction of the Imperial God Pavilion, even the Blood Valley Basin was also a dangerous place.
Since it is called the first forbidden land, then its danger can be imagined, thinking of the viciousness of the night forest in the blood coagulation valley, you can know what realm the blood valley basin has reached, if the blood valley is a sheep that eats people, then the blood valley basin can definitely be called a desolate beast that devours heaven and earth.
The Blood Valley Basin is surrounded by countless mountains, the mountains are not only not able to see the edge, but also full of dangers, on the other side of it is the cliff, there is no road to the bottom of the mountain, thousands of years countless people have explored the basin, but they are not inexplicably falling down the cliff, the bones are gone, it seems that as long as you enter the other side of the mountain, you can't escape this fate, no matter how careful you are, the final result is to be swallowed by the cliff, this phenomenon has not been found to have a cause, can only be attributed to being confused by what special energy.
The Iron City is the only way to the Blood Valley Basin. Although it is still a short distance from the Blood Valley Basin, it is the only city near the Blood Valley Basin, and the Grand Canyon of the Iron City extends from there, from the walls of the Iron City, you can see the distant mountain peaks, even if it is so far away, you can see that piece of green, there is the most feared existence on the continent, and the mention of its name may make people tremble all over.
If you don't come to the Iron City to see the weapons here, it is equivalent to a trip in vain, after a rest, Zi Qianhua proposed to take a look around this unique city, so a few people came to the street lined with shops, Zilong knew that Zi Qianhua's so-called visit was just an excuse, what he really wanted to do should be to explore the traces of the Imperial God Pavilion, after all, if the Imperial God Pavilion and Tianjia really went to the Blood Valley Basin, they would definitely leave clues here, smart people such as Karachith and Rio Luo, Lai Gu would probably understand a little, only Lang Qing was carefully selecting weapons, occasionally wielding huge hammers and axes, and he seemed to love this kind of power-type thing for ten minutes。
There are two shops in the Iron City, one is a place to build weapons, and the other is full of finished products for guests to choose from, if the guests are not satisfied with the displays, they can also ask for it to be built on the spot, Zilong has to admit that the weapons made by Iron City do have its uniqueness, not only exquisite workmanship, but also extremely sharp, at this time his attention has been attracted by a handful of delicate daggers hanging on the wall, these daggers are of different shapes, exuding various lights, and the blades are as thin as cicada wings.
"Do you want weapons? These daggers are made by fine craftsmanship, and they are cheap!" The owner of the shop, the strong man who made these daggers, saw Zilong staring at the daggers intently, thinking that business was coming, and hurriedly stopped his work and greeted him.
"Can you follow my request to create a handy dagger!" Zilong said as he looked at his boss's swarthy face smoked by the flames, he hadn't used a dagger since the Evil Dagger had melted into the Dark Dagger, resulting in a significant reduction in the effectiveness of using the Shadow Slash technique. Although he already has the extremely powerful Dark Dagger, but with the help of the power of the Dark Dagger, his exercises cannot be exercised, the powerful Dark Dagger is extremely difficult to control, and it does not have any benefit to his own cultivation, and now that he has arrived in this iron city, he must find a suitable weapon for himself no matter what.
"Yes, of course, but the price is a little higher!" the boss nodded and smiled.
As soon as Zilong wanted to say that there was no question, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Karachisi, only to see him mysteriously motioning Zilong to go with him, and the others were the same, could it be that the people from the Imperial God Pavilion appeared, Zilong hurriedly walked out with a few people with such an idea, seeing that the business was in vain, the boss was very disappointed, shook his head and continued to beat his iron.
"What's wrong?" Zilong asked with a solemn face, I am afraid that the person who can make Zi Qianhua and the others show such expressions is probably the person who has encountered some trouble.
"Your Excellency, if you want to build weapons, why bother with these small shops, you must know that the most famous blacksmith in the Iron City is the Ya family, and only what the Ya family makes can be worthy of your status!" Karachith said calmly.
Seeing that the other people had a 'just like that' expression on their faces, Zilong was depressed for a while, thinking that something big had happened, but if there was a better choice, of course it would be the best.
The Yajia family in the iron city has been building weapons for a living for generations, since Yaai was born thousands of years ago and became famous, the forging process of the Ya family has always occupied the top of the iron city, becoming the object of competition among the nobles of the family, after all, the weapon is a means to protect themselves, of course, the stronger the better, but the weapons built by the Ya family of each generation are not very many, and they can only be seen in large auctions, but it is said that the Ya family has a strange temper, if it is not for the people they look at, they will never build weapons for them, unless you have enough money to buy it at ten times the price。
In the Iron City, no one does not know the existence of the Ya family, mentioning the name of the Ya family, these people born and raised in the Iron City have to give a thumbs up, admiration is overflowing, soon, everyone found the luxurious residence located on the edge of the iron city, in Zilong's impression, the Yajia mansion should be the kind of ancient steel building, but the fact is not the case, the Yajia mansion in front of them is actually composed of a variety of luxury and luxury tall buildings, the villa made of rare ore even in the day exudes a colorful light, more than ten meters high stone gate towers there, the gate has two big characters one person high'Yafu' is even more eye-catching.
Without any obstruction, Zilong and a few people entered the Yafu, the servants saw that a few people entered the mansion without any notice, and quickly retreated after leading a few people into the back of the living room with some snacks, and in a blink of an eye, only a few people were left in the empty hall looking at each other, after a few minutes, it seemed that someone finally remembered the existence of several people, heavy footsteps sounded on one side of the hall and gradually approached, only to see an old man with snow-white hair and a rickety body slowly walking towards a few people, and when he raised his head, everyone immediately frowned, this old man is probably more than a hundred years old, his face is full of wrinkles, and the skin and flesh on his cheeks are drooping, swaying back and forth with his every move, long white eyebrows covering his eyes.
"I'm the housekeeper of Yafu, what advice do you have for coming to Yafu!" the old man asked in a hoarse voice after a few steps in front of Zi Qianhua.
Zi Qianhua didn't say anything, just stared at the old man carefully, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if with irony, the old man was silent in front of Zi Qianhua with his head down, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became weird, Zilong saw the abnormal behavior of the two and had an idea pop up, could it be that the two of them knew each other.
"Hmph, Yakai, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you still like to play this kind of childish game!" Zi Qianhua snorted lightly and said expressionlessly.
"This guest, I'm afraid you have mistaken the person, the host is waiting for you in the living room, villain, I'm just a butler!" the old man's body took a step back, his flesh moving, and he couldn't see what kind of expression it was.
Zi Qianhua looked deeply at the old man and 520 attacked the old man like lightning, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of the old man, his right palm stretched out violently, and his five fingers were slightly bent to grab the flame towards the old man, the old housekeeper seemed to be frightened by Zi Qianhua's actions, his thin body straightened up, and his footsteps moved back slightly, Zilong didn't see his movements clearly, only felt a burst of white light flashing, and the old housekeeper had moved out a few meters away.
"Haha, it seems that after becoming the lord of the city, this eyesight has greatly improved, and you have often been deceived by me in the past!" said the old man as he straightened his back.
"Say it, what's the matter with me, you busy man won't come to me to catch up with me!" said the old man after walking to the sofa and motioning for a few people to sit down.
The actions and words of the two looked like old friends, but although the old man seemed to be in good spirits, at least he was over seventy years old, could it be that this was a friend who had forgotten the year, Zilong and the others couldn't help but think when they saw the interaction between Zi Qianhua and the old man.
"Can you get rid of all your things!" Zi Qianhua said with a frown and staring at the old man's face, looking at his expression, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the old man's face.
"I'm sorry, you saw that I was so happy that I forgot it!" the old man nodded and apologized, and after speaking, his big hand grabbed the gray hair, and saw that the hair was easily pulled down with the skin, revealing a resolute face, the most striking of which was the tall nose, which must have fascinated many little girls.
"Yakai, I want to ask you to do me a favor and build a dagger for this Excellency, I believe that with your skills, you will be able to hit a weapon that is unparalleled in the continent!" Zi Qianhua helped Zilong so much not only because of Zilong's identity, but also for himself, after all, if Zilong had the ability to protect himself, he would also be more at ease, after a battle with Zilong, he knew that if Zilong's fast body and supreme weapons were added, then his strength would be greatly improved, and he would also have a little more power to the Imperial God Pavilion,
