Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 187: Strange Goods Can Live [II]
Everyone was a little dumbfounded, and secretly said in their hearts What kind of magic power did this Mr. Li Lu exert, move his mouth, and the dogs around him barked a few times, and the two fierce mastiffs were subdued?
Especially Ji Ying was even more frightened, he secretly guessed whether Baoyu had cultivated some kind of secret method and could understand the language of birds and beasts, and he didn't know what rhetoric he used to deceive the ignorant mastiff, and even let him take the ancient vine.
No wonder this man would make a request, the rest of the harvest here belongs to him, it turns out that he really has the ability to convince the mastiff to take everything he has. Ji Ying thought so, and others had similar speculations, thinking that Baoyu would take Gu Teng next.
Unexpectedly, Baoyu did not do this, but stretched out his hand into the air and ingested three flowers from the ancient vine. This vine has grown for hundreds of years, and has reached the top of the cliff along the cliff wall more than 100 zhang high. There were at least more than 100 flowers on the vine that were the size of golden bells in the bowl, and Baoyu only picked three of them.
Baoyu held two golden flowers above his left hand in the method of imperial objects, and the other golden flower slowly rotated above his right hand, and the three dogs watched intently from the side. Baoyu closed her eyes slightly, and concentrated on exerting her magical power, and the swirling petals slowly closed, turning into a bud and a golden ball.
The "golden ball" slowly grew smaller, until it became the size of a finger's belly, and then spun and opened up in the air. At this moment, this golden bell flower is no different from the ordinary golden bell flower commonly found in the mountains. The golden flowers are closed again into golden ball-shaped buds. Baoyu placed it in the palm of his left hand, and then another bowl-sized golden bell flower flew to the top of his right hand and spun. The same changes began.
Xiao Miao in the distance asked puzzledly, "What is Mr. Li Lu doing, is he refining weapons?"
Uncle Dao had a look of horror in his eyes, and he squinted his eyes and replied: "He is refining a magic weapon, and he has already refined a magic weapon, and he actually has to refine three identical magic weapons one after another!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three Cool Breeze Peak Cultivators and the other Wen Peak Peak Cultivator turned a little pale, it was not that they had never seen the Venerable Elder Refinery, and they could try to refine the magic weapon with the Four Realms cultivator as themselves. But I have never seen such a refining weapon, so I took the golden bell flower on the ancient vine that had become a heavenly material on the spot, and stood there and refined it into a magic weapon.
It is enough to refine one, but to refine three pieces in succession, is this the work of a young monk of the Four Realms? It must be known that refining is a matter that should be extremely cautious and accompanied by danger, and if there is a slight mistake in the physical nature of the heavenly and earthly treasures and the mana and fire used, the previous efforts will be wasted. It often damages the material and injures itself.
But Baoyu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him doing this, and no one had ever taught him how to refine weapons, and besides, he had even refined a bunch of artifacts, not to mention these three golden flowers? At that time, it will be able to refine all of them into magic weapons.
Therefore, Baoyu himself felt that it was a natural thing, if he was not strong or unsure, he would not do it. He could see these three golden flowers clearly, and they were the three purest flowers condensed by spirituality on this ancient vine. Although the two-headed mastiff didn't fully understand the method of refining and imperial weapons, they also knew how to urge this ancient vine to perform some wonderful uses. It is equivalent to refining it inadvertently.
What Baoyu is doing at the moment is just picking off the golden flower. The final condensation of the vessel is much easier than the usual refining tool, so it can be completed continuously on the spot. But he shocked the others, just like they had never seen Baoyu Fangcai's medicine refining and rescue techniques.
The three golden flowers were refined into magic weapons, and Baoyu's left palm had three golden balls the size of his thumb belly. With another flick of his right hand, a golden ball flew into the air, blooming into a bowl-sized golden flower, which was the appearance it had just been plucked. The golden flower trembled, emitting bursts of strange fragrance, and in the rotation shot out patches of golden light, and the light and shadow of the golden petals fell like raindrops.
This is the attack launched by the two-headed mastiff that urged the ancient vine, and now Baoyu uses this formed magic weapon to cast it, but he does not attack anyone, but deliberately lets the two-headed mastiff see clearly. Then the golden flower flew above Baoyu's head, and as it swirled, it turned into the size of a bathtub, and five light curtains fell and closed like petals, and Baoyu looked like a golden bell cover.
This is a magical power that the two-headed mastiff will not yet perform, and it can protect itself. After the demonstration, Baoyu put away the magic weapon, took the little golden bell into his arms, threw the other two little golden bells to the two mastiffs, and said, "This is your magic weapon, take it and use it!"
The two mastiffs seemed to understand his words, and they actually used the method of imperial objects to hold a small golden bell, and then bloomed into a golden bell flower the size of a bowl, and spun above the door of the head. Only then did everyone react, it turned out that two of the three magic weapons refined by Baoyu were reserved for the two-headed mastiff.
Although it is not difficult to teach these two mastiffs who can't speak yet to master the method of imperial weapons, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to use other methods, not because their cultivation is not enough, but because they have not yet comprehended these, and there is no suitable magic weapon for them to experience. Baoyu picked the golden bell flower refining weapon here, and the two-headed mastiff knew how to urge the ancient vine, and in this way, he could naturally understand what the imperial weapon was, and Baoyu didn't even say a word.
For the two-headed mastiff, this is their most convenient magic weapon, and when they get the magic weapon and understand the method of the imperial weapon, the power of the fighting method will inevitably increase. They will no longer have to nudge their flowers and leaves near the ancient vines, they will be able to perform the same attacks wherever they perform their weapons, and they will be able to perform more magical powers.
Ji Ying and the others had already seen that the three golden flowers that Baoyu had casually refined were magic weapons that were very magical and powerful, and even for young disciples who were born in the cultivation sect, it was difficult to obtain them in ordinary times. Some people can't help but think in their hearts, there are more than 100 golden flowers on the towering ancient vines, how many magic weapons can be refined? But the person who refines the weapons must also be Baoyu!
Some people are very envious, and even want to ask Baoyu for a magic weapon like this, just now he has given two mastiffs casually, can he also give one to each person? But this kind of words cannot be said after all, there is no monk who asks for a magic weapon for no reason, either it is inherited from the master and apprentice, or it is obtained from luck, or it is refined by himself, and it is bound to pay a great price to ask for it.
In fact, they thought a little too much, this ancient vine itself and the flowers and leaves on it were all heavenly treasures, but it was not suitable for refining such a magic weapon on the spot. The three golden flowers that Baoyu picked were the essence of this heavenly treasure, and they had been unintentionally refined by the two mastiffs;
The two mastiffs obtained these two magic weapons and understood the art of the imperial weapon, which meant that a monk like Ji Ying could no longer break into the idea of fighting the ancient vine.
Finally finished doing this, Baoyu walked back with Xiaotian and said to everyone: "It's getting late, let's hurry out of the valley, everyone is still waiting outside." ”
It was now nearly dusk, and the canyon was darker, and the poisonous fog was thicker, and the passage was more dangerous than at noon. Baoyu ordered the two poisoned monks to follow him closely, and Xiao Tian walked in front of him. Xiao Miao was still protected by Uncle Dao, and as for Ji Ying and another uninjured Cool Breeze Top Female Cultivator, they still went on their own.
After entering the poisonous mist, Baoyu sacrificed the small golden bell, blooming into a golden flower the size of a bathtub, and the light curtain fell, enveloping him, Xiaotian and the two injured people, driving away the poisonous mist and not approaching, and the bursts of fragrance it emitted also made the flying snake retreat and no longer attack. The method of withdrawing from the canyon like this was Ji Ying's plan, but Ji Ying's idea was to carry the ancient vine out, and Baoyu just picked a golden flower and refined it into a magic weapon to protect himself.
Without saying a word, the crowd went out faster than they came, and before sunset they walked out of the narrow valley. The dozen or so monks outside the valley had been waiting for a whole afternoon, and they didn't know what was going on with the masters who rushed into the valley, whether they could collect the elixir and return, or if they had already lost their lives, but they couldn't go in to find out the details.
At this moment, seeing that the seven people and one dog had returned safely, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly gathered around to inquire about the situation. Others bowed down to Baoyu and thanked him for saving his life. Before Baoyu rushed into the canyon for the second time, these people were still healing, and they didn't even have time to thank him.
Ji Ying, who led the team yesterday and talked and laughed all the way, was hiding to the side at the moment. And the monk of Wenfeng Gate was very excited, and introduced to everyone what happened in the canyon, he was sometimes very loud, looking very excited, and sometimes he lowered his voice to look very mysterious.
Everyone was surprised to learn that Uncle Dao and Xiao Miao were the general of the North Dao clan and the young lady of the country, and they stepped forward to pay their respects, and the scene seemed very lively and a little chaotic for a while.
Uncle Dao waved his hand and said: "Thank you for taking the elixir for the monarch in danger, now that the elixir has been obtained, and I will ask Mr. Li Lu to refine the medicine for the monarch, and the location is in the forbidden place in the depths of Pengshan." Everyone participated in the events of the day, and together they went to the forbidden land to await the arrival of the king.
Everyone can temporarily cultivate in the forbidden land, get closer to and communicate more, and wait until Mr. Li Lu takes action to govern the monarch, and then accept the monarch's reward together. In the future, the monarch will also send an envoy to thank the sects to which they belong. ”
The young monks were so excited that if it weren't for the fear of misbehaving, they would have wanted to jump and cheer. Yesterday, they could only gather on the high cliff in the distance to watch the forbidden land where the dragon blood treasure tree grows, and now the general of Zhenbei invited them to go to the forbidden land to cultivate and observe, what a rare opportunity this is, and they can still get the reward of the monarch and the reward of the sect when they turn back.
But Ji Ying leaned over and lowered his head and said, "General, I still have something to do with going back to the sect, can I leave first?"
Uncle Dao looked at him and said coldly, "No! This is an invitation and an order." You and your two fellow disciples are to wait with us in the forbidden place until everyone is gone. Then he turned to Xiao Miao and said, "Although you didn't say what you were going to do when you left the country, how could your father not guess it? ”
As soon as he heard this, Baoyu understood that the people present couldn't leave if they wanted to. Uncle Dao not only invited everyone to observe and cultivate in the forbidden land, but also put everyone under house arrest in that valley. At least until Baoyu comes to the rescue of the monarch, he must not divulge what happened here.
The monarch is seriously ill and may be at the end of his life. Because the matter of seeking elixir is no secret among the high-level officials of the Bamuro Kingdom and the circle of monks. However, no matter what one speculates, it has not been confirmed by the monarch himself. Hou Di has enjoyed the country for more than 40 years, is deeply loved by the people, and has become a symbol of national peace and security, and the people in the country definitely do not want him to leave too early, and Hou Wu is only in his 60s.
But not everyone will feel sad and regretful, and some will even be happy. I don't want this monarch to ask for an elixir, and it is better to die immediately. For example, the king of the enemy country, those who do not want the queen to reign, and those who try to steal the throne while the chaos is in trouble.
Now a rare elixir has been found in Pengshan. There is another divine doctor who will mediate for the monarch in the forbidden land, and this news and the result of the divine doctor's rescue will lead to very important variables in the situation in and around the country, and it is best not to let too many people know about it, in case another accident occurs.
Although Uncle Dao is upright and can't rub sand in his eyes, if he is not careful enough and decisive, how can he start from an ordinary sergeant and step by step to the position of general of Zhenbei. This is not enough with sword magic alone.
Uncle Dao "put everyone under house arrest" in this way, and everyone couldn't ask for it. Only Ji Ying felt that he had no face to stay any longer, and the general and the gentleman had not given him a good face, and the monk at the top of the Wen Peak had privately told everyone what had happened in the valley and Uncle Dao tearing his face. Everyone looked at him again, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But Uncle Dao didn't care if Ji Ying was uncomfortable or not, and he would definitely not let him go first.
Everyone rested for the night at the Golden Bell Pass outside the canyon, and set off for the Pengshan Forbidden Land at dawn the next day. Everyone was in high spirits along the way. It's like doing something great, feeling glorious and glorious. Everyone treated Xiao Miao and Uncle Dao very respectfully, and they were also full of admiration for Baoyu.
This is not only because Baoyu cultivates the secret method of Xuanqi and is good at refining medicine to rescue, and will use elixir to save the monarch, and everyone will be honored and rewarded for this. Among the twenty people present, Baoyu had personally rescued thirteen people. Everyone not only thanked him for his kindness, but was also impressed by his attitude.
Xiao Miao loves Xiaotian even more, and always barks at dogs and dogs along the way, which seems very cordial and affectionate. Everyone saw that the gentleman liked it so much, and they all coaxed this dog to play. From time to time, there is a happy laugh. Of course, Xiaotian was very happy, and the flower tail was dangling all the time. Can't stop.
Only Ji Ying followed silently behind, and everyone saw him as if they were seeing a poisonous snake, no one talked to him, and even the two cool breeze top classmates unconsciously stayed away.
While walking on the road, Uncle Dao took out the rune stone and handed it to Baoyu and said, "Mr. Li Lu, this is the secret treasure created by the Cool Breeze Peak Sect Master Garden Lantern and a master of the Six Realms, and Ji Ying will make amends to you." You may not see such a thing, but it's not a bad thing to study it. ”
Baoyu took the rune stone and said, "Thank you, Uncle Dao! I really like to study all kinds of things that I haven't seen before." I've seen similar secret treasures, but I've never used them before, especially this kind of rune stone, which is the first time I've seen it. ”
This was originally a secret treasure of self-defense given to Ji Ying by the master, and he was forcibly asked by Uncle Dao. Don't let this kind of person walk with everyone with this kind of thing, Uncle Dao may have other considerations, but he took it in the name of Ji Ying to make amends to Baoyu. Baoyu had really never seen a rune stone before, so he held it in his hand along the way, and repeatedly sensed it with his divine sense.
This kind of secret treasure is not an ordinary magic weapon, and it is difficult to figure out the true mystery with such a divine sense. When everyone walked past a mountain beam and stopped to rest, Baoyu told everyone to stay away, he wanted to test the power of this runestone, and casually sacrificed it into the air and beat it out.
The rune stone flew ten zhang away, and was urged by the divine power of the imperial weapon, and suddenly cracked into several layers, each layer had strange runes flickering, and then the surging mana burst out, which was a force that distorted and imprisoned space. If this thing is used in the fighting method, it can be used to cut the opponent into countless pieces, and even if it encounters a master who can protect itself, it can temporarily immobilize.
It turned out that this rune stone was used in this way, and Baoyu sensed it very clearly, but his more important purpose was to find out how this kind of thing was created and what was the difference between it and the usual refining techniques?
Baoyu had been attacked by Soul Eater Smoke, and of course was interested in similar secret treasures. Although Meng Yingqiu's Soul Devouring Smoke and the Rune Stone on the Cool Breeze Top are not the same thing, this kind of powerful one-time secret treasure created by the master with great effort and handed over to the juniors in the sect or others for use must be guarded against in the future.
After hitting the rune stone, Baoyu stood still in place for a long time, carefully experiencing the various changes at the moment when the rune stone broke out, and he inexplicably remembered Mr. Cangjie.
During the more than three months of following Cangjie, Baoyu had seen this senior master draw tens of thousands of runes on the ground, stones, water, and even the void with branches, fingers, clothes and belts, and even divine thoughts. Mr. Cangjie is not only creating words, but also confirming the runic supernatural powers he has cultivated.
At that time, Baoyu had been very attentive to observe and experience. He had a feeling that Mr. Cangjie had drawn the talisman. It contains some kind of magical secret method, especially those runes drawn in the void, which must be condensed with mana to form, and can only be sensed clearly with divine sense.
If the technique demonstrated by Cangjie's predecessors goes further, there are two options: one is to abandon the part that must use supernatural spells, leaving behind a written inheritance that ordinary people can learn and master, and the other is to use a technique similar to refining weapons to create a secret treasure such as rune stones.
