Tianzhu Taoist visited the military camp, he thought that Xiao Ding could invite the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple, he came over by the way to ask others for the spell of conjuring spirits, but he did not expect Xiao Ding to invite the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple to come, but he himself learned a set of spells that use magic weapons to summon souls. The Heavenly Pillar Daoist has no magic weapon, and it is useless to learn Xiao Ding's set of spells. So he was a little lost.

However, Xiao Ding suddenly remembered the question that had been bothering him last night, so he immediately asked it. I didn't expect that the Heavenly Pillar Daoist really knew how to solve this problem. It's just that he felt that it was a little difficult to find a hundred-year-old lightning strike peachwood, but he didn't expect Xiao Ding to immediately say, if there is a 10,000-year-old lightning strike, can the zombie wood?

The Heavenly Pillar Daoist was shocked when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "You really have a 10,000-year-old lightning strike? If there were, it would be great. ”

Xiao Ding nodded calmly, and said in his heart, I don't have it, but there are a lot of it.

So, he nodded and said, "Yes, I have quite a few of them." ”

The Heavenly Pillar Dao Master immediately opened his eyes wide, and said happily: "That's great, the 10,000-year-old lightning strikes the zombie wood, that's a good thing, just use this wood to make a talisman ornament, and engrave runes on it, you can play a role in protecting the soul and expelling the evil." ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, his eyes lit up, and he finally had a way to end this worry. He immediately asked, "Does the Dao Master know how to engrave this rune?" ”

The Heavenly Pillar Daoist nodded and said, "Yes, carving runes is the same as drawing runes, you just need to know which runes have what effects." ”

Xiao Ding was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll let someone use this lightning strike wood to make some ornaments and come back, and then the Taoist chief will help me carve runes?" ”

The Heavenly Pillar Dao Leader responded: "Of course you can, but I don't know how much this 10,000-year-old lightning strike wood in the hand of the Tian donor has, if it is more, can you give a small piece to the poor road?" After speaking, he stared at Xiao Ding with a smile on his face, his face full of anticipation.

Where would Xiao Ding care about giving him a small piece, and said briskly: "This is naturally no problem, since the Dao Elder helped me carve the runes, I naturally can't let the Dao Elder work for me in vain." ”

The Tianzhu Daoist was also overjoyed after hearing this, and he responded to the matter again and again. Xiao Ding excused himself to go out to arrange this matter, so he asked the Tianzhu Daoist to drink tea in the tent first, and he went out of the big tent of the Chinese army, came to the courtyard, took out the huge 10,000-year-old lightning stiff wood from the jade pendant space, and cut off a section with a sword, which is enough to make twenty or thirty pendant ornaments, and then put away the lightning strike wood, called the soldiers, handed over the small piece of lightning strike wood to the soldiers, and instructed: "Go to Zhongzhou City, find a workshop to make jewelry, but use this piece of wood to make a pendant and a wooden hairpin for me, You can make as many as you can. ”

The soldier nodded in response, and Xiao Ding took some more silver and handed it to the soldier, and told him to keep the wood and not let anyone else get it.

The soldier took the wood and the silver, turned and went out of the camp.

Xiao Ding returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and continued to accompany the Tianzhu Daoist to drink tea and chat.

At noon, Xiao Ding asked Daoist Tianzhu to prepare a vegetarian meal, and the two had lunch and continued to wait for the soldier to return.

It wasn't until the beginning of the afternoon that the soldier returned to the barracks with a cloth bag, and he handed the cloth bag and the remaining two taels of silver to Xiao Ding, who only took the cloth bag and told the soldier that the rest of the silver was a reward for him. The soldier took the silver and walked away happily.

Xiao Ding poured all the contents of the cloth bag on the table, and saw that there were twenty or thirty pendant ornaments, on which a fine velvet rope had been worn, and the length of the fine velvet rope was just right for people to hang the pendant around their necks. In addition, there are more than a dozen wooden hairpins, and like the pendant, all of them are engraved with patterns, and the shapes are also very beautiful.

Xiao Ding pushed the pile of black lightning strike wood ornaments on the table in front of the Heavenly Pillar Dao Chief, and said, "These are all made of 10,000-year-old lightning struck stiff wood, and now it's up to the Dao Chief's means." ”

Seeing the pile in front of him, the Heavenly Pillar Dao Leader suddenly showed surprise on his face, he had heard that Xiao Ding had it before, but he didn't expect that there would be so many. You know, the 10,000-year-old lightning strike wood is something that is rare in a lifetime. It may be that they are all small pieces that have not been encountered for thousands of years, but Xiao Ding actually took out so many at once.

I don't know how many times more one big root in Xiaoding's space is than the pile on the table. If the Heavenly Pillar Daoist saw that big root, he didn't know how he would feel in his heart.

At that moment, the Heavenly Pillar Dao Elder saw that Xiao Ding had pushed this pile of black lightning strike wood in front of him, but he did not hesitate, took out a knife from his arms, and then picked up a pendant casually, and did not start to engrave runes on the back of the pendant.

Although these 10,000-year-old lightning strike trees look black, they are shiny and shiny, and no black charcoal will fall at all. This is mainly due to the fact that the trees have been growing for so long and have been soaked in a lot of resin. After being struck by lightning, only the wood was carbonized, but it did not burn. Moistened by resin, and aged, the wood of this charred wood has been amberized, as if it is jade, and the surface looks black, but it feels smooth and moist to the touch.

Xiao Ding just sat quietly and drank tea, and he didn't bother the Heavenly Pillar Daoist to carve the runes. After all, this is also a delicate work, in case the old way is distracted, carved the wrong symbol, can not play the due role, is not a waste of toss?

It wasn't until dinner time that Lao Dao finished carving the last wooden hairpin. This hairpin is different from the pendant, the pendant has the front and back, the front is carved with a variety of good-looking patterns by the workshop that makes jewelry, but the back is blank, and the old way only needs to engrave the runes on the back.

The hairpin is different, many hairpins are carved into dragons, snakes, phoenixes and other forms by jewelry workshops, and the surface of the hairpin body has already been carved with patterns. The Tianzhu Dao Chief had nowhere to carve the runes, so he had to use a knife to scrape off some of the original textures on the hairpin, and then continue to carve the runes on the surface of the hairpin.

In this way, the original beauty of the hairpin is destroyed. However, Xiao Ding didn't care too much. After all, the purpose of making these hairpins is not to look good, but to protect the people who use them.

He also took out the dagger and helped the Tianzhu Dao Chief, scraping all the patterns on the surface of the wooden hairpin body, leaving only the dragon head, snake head or crested head carved by the hairpin.

With Xiao Ding's help, the portrayal of the Tianzhu Daoist is obviously much faster. Finally, the last hairpin was carved before dinner.

Xiao Ding pointed to the pile of pendants and wooden hairpins engraved with runes and said to the Tianzhu Dao Chief: "Thank you Dao Chief's hard work, these pendants and wooden hairpins, Dao Chang will choose one of each, and it will be regarded as the reward for this trouble." ”

The Heavenly Pillar Daoist originally wanted the same lightning strike wood ornament to protect himself. Then he said unceremoniously: "Then the poor Dao will not be polite to the donor of Tian, I will just choose a talisman and a wooden hairpin." ”

After speaking, he randomly selected a pendant and a wooden hairpin and held them in his hand.

"Amulet?" Xiao Ding listened to the Tianzhu Daoist say about the talisman, but he didn't react for a while.

"Yes, these ornaments are engraved with runes, which have the effect of talisman, and they can naturally be worn as talismans." Seeing that Xiao Ding didn't understand, the Heavenly Pillar Dao Chief explained.

Xiao Ding nodded, he also felt that it would be more appropriate to call these ornaments talismans, when even if the talismans and wooden hairpins on the table that had been engraved with runes, all of them were put back into the cloth bag, and then put the cloth bag into the jade pendant space, and then took the Tianzhu Dao Master to dinner.

The Heavenly Pillar Daoist stayed in the barracks for one night, and then left early the next morning. Although he didn't get to see the Taoist of Qingyun Temple, and he couldn't learn the soul spell he wanted to learn, he felt a little regretful, but he got the two pieces of 10,000-year-old lightning stiff wood that Xiao Ding gave him, and he didn't feel much loss in his heart.

After all, this 10,000-year-old lightning strike wood is difficult to find, and it is a zombie wood, this zombie wood he also understands, much better than ordinary peach wood, in addition to being able to drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts, it also has the characteristics of being incorruptible for thousands of years, and it is made into a wooden box to preserve things, and it is not worse than a jade box to preserve things. At the same time, the faint woody smell emitted by this stiff wood can also repel insects and prevent them from being eaten by insects.

Of course, this information was also introduced to Xiao Ding when the Tianzhu Daoist was chatting with Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding thanked Daoist Tianzhu for sending him outside the barracks all the time. He also specially gave him a good horse and let him ride back to Tianzhu Mountain.

The captain of Tianzhu Road did not ride a horse when he came, but came with a hitchhiker along the way. He was a monk, and when he went out, he asked for help or something, and people in this era were usually very willing to help the monks.

Seeing the Tianzhu Road go away, Xiao Ding returned to the camp.

came directly to Song Yinzi's sleeping tent and saw that Song Yinzi was still not awake.

In the morning, the Ninth Princess had already helped him take a Soul Rejuvenation Pill. Because Song Yinzi was in a coma, it was difficult to take medicine. Every time the Ninth Princess gave him the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, she crushed the pill first, integrated it into the ginseng soup and poured it into Song Yinzi.

Xiao Ding took out the amulet and the wooden hairpin that he had just made last night, gave it to the ninth princess, and told her the function of the amulet and the wooden hairpin, so that she had better carry it with her, so as not to be assassinated by the traitor.

Then he helped Song Yinzi hang a talisman around his neck, and replaced the hairpin on his head with a wooden hairpin made of lightning strike wood.

After putting away the soul suppression bead of the Gao Wangfu, he still didn't know whether the talisman and wooden hairpin that took so much time to make yesterday would have the effect of protecting the soul. So he wanted to put it to the test.

As for the function of warding off evil spirits, he would not doubt it, because ordinary peach wood has the function of warding off evil spirits and driving away ghosts, not to mention zombie wood.

What he is worried about now is whether the person who assassinated Song Yinzi behind his back will try to extract Song Yinzi's soul again. If that person no longer casts spells, then he will not be able to verify whether the amulet and the lightning strike wooden hairpin have the effect of protecting the soul.

However, Xiao Ding's idea of verifying it finally failed. For more than ten consecutive days, Xiao Ding came to check Song Yinzi's physical condition every day, and did not find any signs of anyone secretly ingesting Song Yinzi's soul again. Maybe this talisman and the wooden hairpin really worked, and the other party didn't succeed when he ingested the divine soul, and Xiao Ding was not there at the time, so he couldn't detect it.

But in any case, under the effect of the powerful medicinal power of taking the Soul Returning Pill every day, on the morning of the twelfth day when the soul returned to his body, Song Yinzi finally woke up, as if he had a long dream, he only remembered that he had a splitting headache that night, and finally passed out, and then he didn't know anything. I just felt as if I was being tied up by something in my sleep, and then it took a lot of strength to break free.

At this time, Song Yinzi's face was haggard, his eye sockets were deep, and he was already thin. I was bedridden because of poisoning before, and now I am bedridden for so many days because I lost my soul.

Before, he was the image of a handsome son from the royal family, but now he is like a drug addict and terminally ill tuberculosis ghost. Although he had woken up, he was in a trance, weak, and even felt very labored to speak.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ding had no choice but to retreat from everyone and tell the ninth princess to give him more supplements, give him a period of supplements, and nourish his body.

The ninth princess nodded in agreement. She was also very happy that the twelfth brother could wake up. Although it was hard work to care for the sick, she was willing to do it, not to mention that there were other soldiers or maids who served her to help her.

Under the careful care of the Ninth Princess, after another four or five days, Song Yinzi was finally able to communicate normally, and his sanity had returned to normal, and he was no longer in a trance like when he first woke up.

Although his body is still weak at this time, as long as he continues to recuperate for a while, he can return to normal.

At this time, Xiao Ding came to the tent and reported to Song Yinzi what happened during this time, and told Song Yinzi that the mastermind behind the two assassinations against him was most likely his seventh brother Song Yinding.

Because Xiao Ding has also sent people out to investigate during this time, Dugu Remnant, the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, and Wan Qixing, the master of the Spirit Castle, have often been haunting the palace recently. Since the suspect who assassinated Song Yinzi often came and went in the palace, it was naturally directly related to Emperor Song Yin. Otherwise, how could the head of an ordinary Jianghu sect with no official or official position be able to enter and leave the palace casually?

After listening to Xiao Ding's report, Song Yinzi had been hesitant before, but now he is biased a lot towards his side. Since you don't think about brotherhood and want to assassinate me repeatedly, then I can't always sit still.

At this time, Song Yinzi, although he was not willing to make a final decision, had already had a strong dissatisfaction with Seventh Brother in his heart. Originally, he wanted to secretly check whether his father was killed by the seventh brother, and after finding out the truth, he would decide whether to overthrow the throne of the seventh brother, but now the seventh brother has repeatedly secretly poisoned himself. Is he afraid of himself?

Is he afraid that he will take his throne? Or are you afraid to find out the truth about your father's mysterious death?
