Chapter 66
Li Xunlian likes to make inferences from subtle clues, and he also trusts his own instincts, and throughout the past, it has been proven that his analysis has hardly been wrong.
It's just that this matter is really important, and it is definitely not convincing based on inference alone, not to mention the big shopkeeper who is closest to him, that is, the eight thousand disciples of the inn, it is estimated that no one will believe that the third shopkeeper is such a wicked person without evidence.
Since he couldn't find a reliable breakthrough in a short period of time, the matter was only put aside for the time being, and in the next few days, Li Xunlian stayed with Gu Panxi, Hu Wan and others most of the time.
Li Yanran's arrival made Hu Wan's heart flutter, but as a warmonger, after Li Xunlian said that he was going to conquer the king, his heart flew to the south.
Then Zhenri pestered Li Xunlian to ask him to return the Golden Light Xuanwu Shield to the furnace, this time Li Xunlian naturally would not shirk it again, after all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, if the Golden Light Xuanwu Shield can be returned from a half-step holy weapon to a holy weapon, it will be regarded as an extra guarantee.
There are also Li Yanran's red and white swords, Li Xunlian has already obtained the water in the heart of the Nujiang River, so it is better to take advantage of this time to return to the furnace again.
The next day, the sky was clear and calm.
Under the support of the big treasurer, several people were sent to the Jiangxin Stone Pillar. The stone pillar is engraved with an inscription, because Li Xunlian can not fully comprehend the mystery of this inscription, so he can not copy it out, choose to open the furnace here, maybe with the help of some inscription magic.
The time to start the furnace is noon, this time is not a competition, there is no time limit, Li Xunlian can completely refine it, and it can basically guarantee that the holy weapon will be produced when the furnace is opened.
The first to return to the furnace is the golden light Xuanwu shield, although this shield is a defensive type, but it also has a kind of fierce and domineering contained in it, after the furnace Li Xunlian injected holy will, the furnace fire seemed to have a sense and began to jump suddenly, and it rose to the sky in a moment, until it was more than three zhang high.
The flames are pressing, but there is nowhere to retreat on this narrow stone pillar, not to mention that there is a large area occupied by strange reptiles, this kind of thing has a natural lethality to Li Yanran and Gu Panxi......
Li Xun was tired of life and death, but Hu Wan was there to surround Li Yanran and pay tribute, only to see him yelling and scolding, driving those strange reptiles alive, in order to please Li Yanran.
As for the poor stupid Gu Panxi, Hu Wancai didn't have time to care about her......
The process of recasting lasted about two hours, and after Li Xunlian poured the last trace of holy intent into the furnace, his expression was relieved, and as long as the shield was formed, he could turn off the fire and open the furnace. And if this furnace is opened, it will definitely be a holy vessel.
I have to say that even though everything went well, Li Xunlian was slightly disappointed. Because no matter how much he communicated with Mingtu in the process of smelting, he was never able to resonate with him.
Thinking about it on the other hand, he is not at the level of the Smelting Saint Master, and the inscription is something that can only be mastered by the legendary Smelting Weapon Supreme, and it is normal that it cannot be used by him.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden change in the field, only to hear Hu Wan's scolding and Gu Panxi Li Yanran's screams, the hissing sound was instantaneous, and it was actually countless reptiles who were crazy and restless, rushing towards the smelting furnace desperately.
Li Xun twisted his eyebrows, and quickly dodged to Gu Panxi's side, his feet urged the Xuan Qi, and a layer of invisible qi waves spread out, directly centering on the two of them, clearing out a "clean" place with a radius of several feet.
Over there, Hu Wan did the same, and he also urged Xuan Qi to protect Li Yanran.
The strange reptiles that suddenly went crazy were densely packed, far more than Li Xunlian had imagined, and I don't know where they came from, in short, wave after wave, like a black wave, constantly surging towards the smelting furnace.
And these things are not only interested in the smelting furnace, but also seem to be coveted by people after the madness. Those reptiles who were crowded in the back and couldn't quickly approach the smelting furnace wanted to attack Li Xunlian and the others, which was also the reason why Gu Panxi and Li Yanran screamed.
It's just that there is Xuan Qi to protect them, but they are always isolated. However, even this cannot stop their "determination". The reptiles rushed to the Xuanqi protection one after another, and the protection was very stable at first, but after a while, it began to show signs of collapse. Li Xunlian and Hu Wan glanced at each other when they saw this, and they both saw incomprehension and shock in each other's eyes.
These reptiles are not afraid of death, and after touching the Xuan Qi protection, there is a stinging evaporation sound, and the dark green slurry splatters everywhere, and the sharp and piercing hiss sound is endless. The most bizarre thing is that those reptiles that have been annihilated by Xuan Qi will collapse and fly out of their abdomen before they die, and a small dark red ball will explode within a period of time after the ball appears, turning into a pungent fishy smell, and I don't know if it is poisonous or not.
"I'm scared ......" Gu Panxi bit his lip and hugged Li Xunlian's arm. Li Yanran is the same, but it is impossible for her to hold Hu Wan's arm, but Hu Wan deliberately bent his arm out, and his mouth was still straight to remind Li Yanran that I also have an arm......
Li Yanran's face turned pale, and her body couldn't help but get closer to Hu Wan, but she still didn't pull that arm.
At this moment, somehow, she was a little envious of Gu Panxi. If it was in the past, shouldn't Xiao Xun stand by his side......
"Bah, I'm thinking about something. Li Yanran woke up secretly in her heart, and immediately turned her attention to the reptile again.
This can be said to be the most ferocious and disgusting insect she has ever seen, and in a moment, the ground has lost its true color of stone pillars, replaced by broken reptile bodies, covered with a thick layer, to say the least there must be tens of thousands.
"It's a little weird, the last time I was here, they were just hovering outside of the range, as if they were afraid of something, and how can they suddenly be so crazy today. Li Xunlian whispered to himself, and after careful thinking, he suddenly discovered the key to the matter.
Last time, the reptiles seemed to yearn for the area where the inscription was located, but they didn't dare to approach it. The difference between today and last time is that the furnace fire in the inscription area is rising, and there is an additional smelting furnace containing holy will!
The reason why we emphasize the meaning of the Holy Will is because before Li Xunlian completely injected the Holy Will into the furnace, these reptiles did not have such abnormalities.
This means that they are related to the Holy Will, or more directly, that these strange reptiles are made for the sake of smelters......
In order to test this assumption, Li Xunlian shifted his gaze to the reptiles that flocked to the smelting furnace.
At first, there was no special discovery, but I saw the reptiles desperately rushing to the fire to kill themselves, but after a careful look for a while, I found that the ground covered by dense reptiles seemed to have a little fluorescent flicker, and the location of the fluorescent flicker was where the inscription was!
The fluorescence is dark red, the same color as the beads that burst out of the body of the reptile after death.
Li Xunlian's heart was shocked, and he raised his hand to urge the Xuan Qi, increasing the protection several times again, ensuring that the reptiles could not break through in a short period of time, and then floated to the smelting furnace.
This time, Gu Panxi didn't scream, because she knew that Li Xunlian had discovered something important, so even though she was afraid, she forcibly endured it in her heart, and would never let Li Xunlian be distracted because of herself.
Coming to the smelting furnace, Li Xunlian cleaned up a clean place under his feet, once again urged the Xuan Qi to describe the protection, and then carefully observed.
At this moment, the corner of the inscription was exposed under his feet, and when he entered the eyes, a trace of dark red light was circulating along the inscription, emitting bursts of faint light. And the source of this glimmer of light is the red mist that bursts out of the beads in the abdomen of the reptile after it dies!
Li Xunlian's heart was excited, he knew that his guess was right, and the key to opening the inscription was really these weird reptiles!
The Divine Consciousness glanced towards the furnace, and a clear picture came back to his mind.
The Golden Light Xuanwu Shield had already taken shape, but at this moment, it was no longer sparkling gold, but emitted a dazzling red light. Li Xunlian closed his eyes and felt it carefully, only to feel that in the soul of the Xuanwu Shield, there was a majestic and incomparably evil aura, and as soon as he touched it, his mind was buzzing.
"This shield, I'm afraid it's the lowest and the middle grade of the holy weapon!" Li Xunlian snorted secretly, he once deduced that he had just felt the feedback from the Xuanwu Shield, far surpassing the power of the Dragon Shadow Sword's soul!
I don't know how long it took, the smelting furnace began to buzz and tremble, to be precise, it should be the internal Xuanwu shield trembling, the red light filled the furnace wall, and then was sucked into it by the Xuanwu shield, which was the reason for its trembling.
As the tremors became more and more violent, the smelter also reached the last moment. At this time, Hu Wan suddenly shouted, and the reptile began to disappear gradually.
Li Xunlian retracted his divine sense and looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the reptiles were gradually decreasing, and soon there were no more reptiles pouring towards the smelting furnace, and the light of the inscription dissipated, and everything returned to normal again.
After there was no more reptile within the scope of the inscription, the smelting furnace burst out with a shocking sound in vain, and a dazzling red light rushed into the sky, which actually caused the low-altitude wind and clouds to change!
Hu Wan was dumbfounded, in fact, Li Xunlian was also shocked enough, not to mention Gu Panxi and Li Yanran, everyone was the first to see this kind of vision. The blade is out of the oven and affects the sky, although it is only a low altitude, and there is only a few zhang square circle of wind and clouds, but throughout the past, it has never been heard of.
In the air, several red clouds rolled up like boiling, and then subtle lightning clicked down, and the smelting furnace exploded, and a huge shield engraved with repeated lines slowly appeared.
Obviously, this is the Golden Light Xuanwu Shield, but at this moment, after having the lines given by those inscriptions, it is even more miraculous, and at a glance, it will give people a sense of shock.
"This can't be an artifact, right?" said Hu Wan as if he was demented.
Li Xunlian shook his head, he was sure that this shield had not yet reached the level of an artifact, but at least it was also a second-grade holy weapon, but there was one thing he didn't understand very well, this shield was not as good as an artifact from the above perspective, but that kind of inexplicable might, even if it was an artifact, it had never been possessed.
In this way, it should be the miraculous effect of the inscription.
Looking down and staring a few times, Li Xunlian was not only interested in Mingtu, but also those strange reptiles, and even this stone pillar.
The legendary inscriptions, the unheard-of reptiles, and the stone pillars standing in the center of the Nu River are not just from anyone's hand, all of these things seem to be full of ancient atmosphere, and they are so mysterious that if they can be studied thoroughly, there will be shocking discoveries!
According to the original plan, it should be that after Li Yanran's red and white swords were successfully returned to the furnace, everyone would return together.
But after seeing the tragic phenomenon of reptiles, Li Xunlian had the heart to teleport Gu Panxi and Li Yanran back first, after all, they are girls, and facing insects, rats and the like are more uncomfortable than facing swords and swords.
However, if you want to send them back, you have to wait for the big shopkeeper to arrive, because the agreed time has not yet arrived, and not everyone can cross the Nu River, Li Xun is reluctant to even take himself, not to mention taking the two of them with him.
So I had to wait, and during the waiting period, I naturally wouldn't be idle, and everyone expressed their opinions and began to study the miracle of the inscription.
Li Yanran has read the famous instrument spectrum, and her insights are naturally much more profound, but she is still a step worse than Li Xunlian, so Li Xunlian who can think of it has already thought of it, and Li Xunlian who she can't think of has also guessed some clues.
As for Hu Wan and Gu Panxi, these two goods hardly provided any help except for whimsy, and the research progressed to the end, as if it had evolved into nonsense......
Since it is nonsense, it is natural that Gu Panxi will be indispensable, this is already a fixed pattern between him and Hu Wan, as long as they get together, they will definitely sing and harmonize against Gu Panxi.
Li Yanran has always been on Gu Panxi's side, and after coming and going, the topic turned to Hu Wan. When it comes to him, that's a big topic!
"Lao Hu, I said did you have a crush on my old sister? Li Xunlian smiled evilly, he asked knowingly.
"I think so too, I don't look at Sister Yanran with the wrong eyes, it's a thief. Gu Panxi fanned the flames from the side, this thing has been with Li Xunlian for a long time, and he has learned very badly.
Hu Wan's old face turned red when he heard this, and he said hesitantly: "Don't, don't talk nonsense there, you know a fart." ”
At first, Li Yanran only felt it slightly, but at this moment, seeing Hu Wan's flickering words, her heart was a little clearer. But what she likes is a personable genius and beautiful man like Jing Yuan, and she really can't be interested in an old man like Hu Wan.
I have to say that at this point, Li Yanran is a little judged by her appearance, but after all, she is only a nineteen-year-old girl, and it is normal for her to dream of a little nymphomaniac.
Anyone has to be like this, Jing Yuan and Hu Wan, and the blind will choose the latter. Although, Jing Yuan is a monk......
Young people always chat with each other about the topic is always very jumpy, and after a while, it will be on the Qianlong list, and now the situation is complicated, whether the Qianlong list can be carried out normally as before, it is really difficult to say.
But this is the most anticipated event for the younger generation in Kyushu, compared to the Great Competition of Smelting Weapons and the Great Competition of Alchemy that has been abolished, the Hidden Dragon List is the most attractive.
"Xiao Xun, you said that if the Qianlong List goes smoothly, will Jing Yuan win the first place for a second time?" Li Yanran obviously hadn't recovered from the topic just now, and her mind was still tied to Jing Yuan.
After hearing this, Hu Wan became jealous, and snorted coldly: "Jingyuan is a fart, and Lao Hu will pinch him to death with one hand." ”
This thing is always so unpleasant, and he often carries dirty words, which is also one of the reasons why Li Yanran looks down on him, not to mention that he also slanders Jingyuan.
"You know bragging. Li Yanran sneered and gave Hu Wan a blank look.
"What's so good about Jingyuan, one day I will let you know that our old Hu is the perfect man!" Hu Wan was excited, and directly said that he was bald, and after finishing speaking, he was also extremely embarrassed, and quickly turned his eyes away.
However, his embarrassment was obviously superfluous, because Li Yanran didn't take it to heart at all, and snorted coldly: "You can also say that you are perfect now, but what does it have to do with me." ”
Seeing that the trouble was getting more and more stiff, Li Xunlian hurriedly came out of the round and said: "Jingyuan is in the middle of Lingxi as early as the time of the Great Competition, and it is very difficult to surpass him, and the opponents we have to consider are others." ”
To be honest, Li Xunlian said this just to ease the atmosphere. Judging from the current situation, except for Jing Yuan, there is no one on the hidden dragon list who will be his opponent, and the person he pays attention to is only Jing Yuan.
If it had been placed a few months ago, Li Xunlian would have paid a little attention to Qing Xuanzi, but now, the two are no longer on the same level at all.
"What about Qingxuanzi, don't you have a two-year appointment?" Gu Panxi tilted his head, his little white hand was holding a ponytail, and his big eyes were blinking, which was very cute.
She likes to brush her ponytail when she is fine, but Li Xunlian thinks that this move is very mentally retarded, and reached out to pull Gu Panxi's braid away, and said, "How many times have you said it, don't keep brushing it." ”
Gu Panxi pursed his lips, and his big eyes wiped Li Xunlian's eyes, "I want you to take care of it." ”
Although she said this, she still didn't touch her braid after all, Li Xunlian was quite satisfied after seeing it, and said: "Qing Xuanzi can't enter the eyes of this son now." ”
Everyone is the closest person to each other, so Li Xunlian doesn't need to be modest and low-key, and he is quite proud when he speaks.
Hu Wan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I recently heard that there is a powerful person in the Dao Sect who is a third-layer Dao Yan mystery, and he is still a young man, could it be Qing Xuanzi?"
Hearing this, Li Xunlian frowned slightly, there are only a few famous young people in the Dao Sect, among them, Qing Xuanzi and Qing Lingzi are the leaders, Qing Lingzi has already died under his own sword, so the rest of the characters who may finally comprehend the third layer of Dao Yan's mysteries are Qing Xuanzi nine times out of ten.
This person is known as one of the three geniuses of Qingxiao Kingdom, and his talent, body, vein and other conditions are second only to Jingyuan and Zhu Tong, and in the recent period, whether it is the death of Qing Lingzi or other major events, there has never been a word about him, it is likely that he is in retreat and cultivation.
Now that this kind of news has appeared, it is estimated that it will not be anyone else except him.
"Where did you hear that?" Li Xunlian asked Hu Wan, the news of this product was undoubted, but the source of the person who informed him of the news was not necessarily reliable.
"Look at your look that doesn't trust me!" Hu Wan pointed and said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Tzu heard it from the mouth of the second shopkeeper, what's the matter, is it reliable?"
How could the second shopkeeper know, and if he knew, he should have told himself.
Seeing Li Xunlian's doubts, Hu Wan explained: "Some time ago, when you weren't there, the Taoist Sect sent someone to send an invitation, saying that they have a young disciple who has comprehended the third layer of the Dao Yan mysteries, and the established ceremony will be held soon, inviting us to go to someone." ”
"Oh......" Li Xunlian understood, no wonder it was the third shopkeeper who came forward on behalf of the inn last time, and it turned out that the second shopkeeper was rushing to the established ceremony of the Taoist Sect.
The so-called established canon, like the canonization of the prince by the imperial court, belongs to the direct appointment of the successor of the next person. The successor of the Taoist Sect is known as the Taoist Sacred Scripture, and if someone in the younger generation comprehends the Taoist mystery to the third level within a limited age group, he can directly become the established successor. If there is no such talent, it will be selected by the older generation.
"In this way, Qing Xuanzi's skills should improve by leaps and bounds?" Li Xunlian thought to himself, and said secretly in his heart: "Qing Xuanzi is worthy of being the first person of the younger generation of the Dao Sect, and he has actually comprehended the three layers of Dao Yan, which is not bad, otherwise the two-year contract will not be able to give me motivation." ”
Li Xunlian laughed spontaneously, Hu Wan looked at the clouds, and said in his heart Is this product stunned, the opponent has become stronger, why is he not worried but happy?
Indeed, it stands to reason that Li Xunlian should be worried. Because the secret of Dao Yan is a sacred book of Taoism, its magical powers are really unpredictable, and Li Xunlian doesn't know the specific effect of the third layer, but he knows that if he reaches the fourth layer, the weak person can be directly promoted to the Shenhai!
Of course, the possibility of Qing Xuanzi reaching the fourth layer is almost zero, but there is also a similar magic in the third layer, which can make him cultivate to a thousand miles in a thousand miles, and even Li Xunlian, who is comparable to the three qi bodies, may not be.
However, the more this happens, the more excited Li Xunlian becomes. Because there is no fun in winning easily, it is only when the opponent is evenly matched that the opponent is called! Only then can the blood in his heart be stimulated, and only then can he speed up the pace of progress in the sense of oppression.
After chatting for a long time, the big shopkeeper finally came through the waves, and at Li Xunlian's request, he took Gu Panxi and Li Yanran back first. As for Hu Wan, when the time comes, take a little guilt and go back with Li Xunlian......
It's funny to say, the big shopkeeper is the pinnacle of the Xuan Cultivation Realm, and he has the number one force in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't even have time to go to a major event like a meeting with the imperial court, but he still has to work hard to pick up these little babies, which is really speechless.
In fact, the big shopkeeper is indeed quite speechless, but these are Li Xunlian's friends, and he has to give face. Moreover, the most important thing is that the little girl named Gu Panxi is really likable, if she can poke and poke and let her get together with Li Xunlian, it will definitely be a beautiful thing.
The big shopkeeper thought so in his heart, he didn't know that Li Xun and Gu Panxi came back with this meaning, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.
After the big shopkeeper left, Li Xunlian and Hu Wan immediately started the recasting of the second furnace, this time it was the red and white double sword smelted by Li Yanran, which was much more difficult than the golden light Xuanwu shield smelted by Li Xunlian himself.
But fortunately, there is plenty of time, and you can take your time when it is difficult, and I'm not in a hurry anyway.
It was almost dusk, and the fire was rising, turning the slightly dim surface of the lake in the vicinity.
Li Xunlian devoted himself to the recasting of the red and white swords, while Hu Wan was watching things and people, and he secretly swore that this time he would follow Li Xunlian to become the king, and he must make a meritorious deed, so that Li Yanran would be impressed by himself.
After all, the title of the second son of the inn was given by someone, and no matter how well the hematite mine was managed, it was just a business. Li Yanran likes to be a hero, so she will be on the battlefield and really make a reputation of her own.
Thinking about it, Hu Wan's fists couldn't help clenching, full of blood filling his heart, but he didn't notice that with the transformation of his state of mind, there was an inexplicable evil qi in the Xuanwu shield that quietly penetrated, and without him knowing, it affected his mind and eroded his reason step by step......
