Chapter 186
Looking at the expression on his son's face, Wen Wuxuan explained in detail: "Didn't I tell you, Shui Ling'er is not just the young palace master of Xuanshui Palace, not counting the relationship between the Yao family, Bai Changtai of Baijiang Sect, Shi Yidou, the city lord of Xuantu City, Mofeng of Moyan City, and Miao Yan, the god of medicine who doesn't eat soft and hard, all of them have to give her some face." ”
"The rules are all set by people, as long as the strength is enough, when the time comes, even the first door rule that cannot be married will be abolished when Cheng Wushang abdicates, and who dares to say half a word?"
Wen Dengrong's face was full of embarrassment: "Dad, I remember all your words, and the child is not afraid that he will not be able to take over the first seat after marrying." Can...... , Shui Ling'er she ......" After hesitating for a while, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "She doesn't look down on me, and she already has someone else in her heart." ”
This answer surprised Wen Wuxuan: "There is such a thing? Xuanshui Palace has always been very strict, and there are three old guys beside her who never leave an inch. Based on your appearance and cultivation, isn't it as good as the other boys?"
Wen Dengrong sighed: "The child doesn't understand either, it's the Lingxiao disciple who happened to cure the poison on her face......" Wen Wuxuan laughed after hearing this: "It's just a moment of gratitude, you don't have to worry, how could the Shui family let her marry such a mediocre person?"
"In a few months, it will be her birthday again, and you will go to Xuanshui Palace to propose. As the so-called is afraid of pestering men, she doesn't even have this little patience, how can she hug a beauty?" He saw Wen Dengrong's face frustrated and gradually put away his smile: "If she doesn't know how to lift, we can only find another way." ”
"......Huh" Hearing the louder and louder breathing sound coming from the nose of the huge scorpion dragon beast on the ground, Yuan Bo suddenly came to his senses: "What are you still doing, let it get up quickly." ”
Zhang Zhao hurriedly gathered his mind after hearing this, squatted down slightly like Yuan Bo just now, and tried to feel the soul talisman that had not entered the head of the scorpion dragon beast, and shouted loudly: "Get up...... ......"
"Whoosh ......" An invisible cold rope passed through Zhang Zhao's forehead and penetrated into the sea of knowledge, tightly tied with the golden light in his mind. His legs trembled slightly, and Zhang Zhao immediately felt as heavy as pressing down on a mountain, as if he had returned to the moment when he was tightly bound by several iron chains in Xuanjin City.
He tried to pull the invisible chain of a certain root system attached to the golden light of his soul consciousness, but just casually transmitted an idea, and the thick tail of the huge scorpion dragon beast suddenly lifted, and then slammed into the ground with a "boom".
At this time, Zhang Zhao felt like a baby learning to walk, his movements were clumsy and stiff, and he provoked the cold chains that connected Zhihai one by one, and conveyed his thoughts to the scorpion dragon beast lying on the ground.
Slowly raising its huge head, the scorpion dragon beast's eyes were blank, it gradually curled up two stiff hind legs, its front paws were just about to stand up, and the moment it exerted its strength, it lost its balance and fell down again......
Although the golden light of the soul consciousness that had always been free in his mind was in an unprecedented bondage, Zhang Zhao was constantly trying to adjust every wisp of his thoughts, and carefully experienced every subtle change that occurred in the body of the scorpion dragon beast.
This is very similar to the scene when he first piloted the Wind and Fire Qilin in Hongfu City, except that all his actions were carried out in the sea of his knowledge. Seeing that his hands were shaking like convulsions, his eyes were straight and his face was slightly distorted, but Yuan Bo next to him showed irrepressible joy on his face.
After a dozen drunken squirms, the giant scorpion dragon beast was finally able to stand upright on its hind feet. The branches above his head were scraped by his strong body, and they were broken and fell, and they were four or five feet tall, not much worse than the trees in this forest.
"It's done, it's really done. Yuan Bo's eyes lit up and his figure stepped back: "Zhang Zhao, you let it take a few steps forward to see if there is any major damage inside the body." ”
"Tom ......" took the first step of the scorpion dragon beast to shake the earth and shake the mountains, Zhang Zhao volleyed backwards and let it walk out several feet away one after another, only then did he realize that the feeling of tightness in the sea had greatly improved.
"Aha......" Zhang Zhao's body fell together, and he had easily straddled the back of the neck of the scorpion dragon beast, just like riding the wooden horse in Yuan Bo's courtyard when he was a child, and strode out of the woods despite the dense branches and leaves that poked out of his surroundings.
"Zhang Zhao, you wait first......" Without waiting for Yuan Bo to approach, Zhang Zhao, who was riding on the back of the scorpion dragon beast, suddenly felt a lack of strength in his brain, and then the scorpion dragon beast's body rolled over and crushed the two big trees, but fortunately he jumped into the air in time to not be smashed.
"You bastard, it's been dead for a few years, it's not easy to have a talisman to protect the corpse from rotting, how can you let it run with all its might?" Yuan Bo followed and jumped closer with a full face of regret and took a closer look: "Fortunately, the skin and flesh are thick and not falling apart, otherwise you will have to rejoice again." ”
Zhang Zhao grabbed his hair embarrassedly: "Uncle Yuan, it's really enjoyable to ride this guy, what should we do next?" Uncle Yuan reprimanded angrily: "What else can ......I do?"
"It's not easy to get immortal crystals? I have this, do you see enough?" Zhang Zhao hurriedly reached into his arms and took out more than a dozen top-grade immortal crystals, Yuan Bo was surprised and felt incredible: "The world outside has really changed, even you Lingxiao disciples can take out so many immortal crystals at once?"
Zhang Zhao embedded the immortal crystal into the talisman array on the scorpion dragon beast according to his instructions, shook his head with regret and sighed: "That's a lot, I was put on my body with an iron chain in Xuanjin City, and later I found out that I had already strangled hundreds of immortal crystals, and the rest of these were all my belongings." ”
After the seven immortal crystals were placed, the runes flashed like life, and then gradually disappeared into the body of the scorpion dragon beast, Zhang Zhao did not understand the effect of these runes, but he could feel a new and powerful vitality from his soul sense.
"I heard that the scorpion dragon beast has some spirit beast blood, this one died too early, barely called a demon beast, but it didn't give birth to any innate scales. So it saved me a lot of trouble, otherwise it would be even more difficult to succeed in inscribed this seven-star rune array on it. ”
"The immortal crystal rune pattern has been integrated with the blood meridians of the scorpion dragon beast at this time, in the future, you can find some fresh meat every day to feed it, and it should be able to maintain it like this forever......," Zhang Zhao hurriedly asked: "Isn't it already dead?
Yuan Bo shook his head: "I thought you knew a lot about the affairs of the Imperial Corpse Sect, but it seems that you only knew a little about the skin. It takes ten days and a half to feed those lying corpses some blood food, not to mention that you have to let them run back and forth? To feed the yin and evil things, you have to eat some fresh flesh and blood, and the spiritual energy contained in it is naturally better. ”
Zhang Zhao's mind flashed the scene of Xi Jiujue eating Gao Xingyuan in front of the realm of life and death, and not only did he shudder on his body: "Isn't it...... , Uncle Yuan, do I have to feed it raw meat every day in the future?"
"Of course, this guy is not small, I think he has to eat three or four cows...... Zhang Zhao thought about the bloody scene and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Yuan, can we not want it?"
"What are you talking about...... don't? Bastard boy, do you know what this thing is? This is the Soul Melting Mechanism, you actually said you don't want it?" Yuan Bo's eyes widened suddenly, his gray eyebrows were raised in anger, and even the corners of his mouth trembled.
Zhang Zhao hurriedly smiled and explained: "Uncle Yuan, don't be angry first, I know this is your life's work." But now those trap beasts are really powerful, like my Wind and Fire Qilin, you can run and breathe fire with a fairy crystal, and you don't need to eat......"
"Hey...... , I don't blame you, it's because you don't understand the benefits of the Soul Melting Mechanism yet. Yuan Bo pointed to the scorpion dragon beast on the ground: "It's different from those trap beasts, the kind of trap beast you said can be roughly understood if I think about it, use the Burning Crystal Rune Array to drive a few runes, where to move, isn't it?"
Zhang Zhao nodded: "Yes, some people can also release crossbow arrow fireballs...... By the way, there's also the Crystal Rune Cannon, which is very powerful. This time, Yuan Bo was taken aback: "Crystal Rune Cannon, is that thing made by the Mo family?"
"It's not the Mo family, it's made by the Shangguan family, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to exchange for so many wind and fire qilin......" Zhang Zhao said that he had gambled with Shangguan Xiong in Hongfu City, and even did not hide the fact that he made a lot of immortal crystals later.
Uncle Yuan's face changed and he listened very attentively, and after a long time, he sighed faintly: "The crystal rune cannon is indeed powerful, but have you thought about it, even if you fail to destroy the arm of the Shangguan family's machine, how many immortal crystals can he hold in his crystal rune cannon?"
"Also, if you are in the middle of a fight, and your Wind and Fire Qilin suddenly runs out of immortal crystals and stops when the other party attacks, what will be the result?" Seeing Yuan Bo's blazing eyes, Zhang Zhao was silent when he thought about it carefully.
"A top-grade immortal crystal may be able to support the wind and fire unicorn you said for more than a year, and if you often launch the fire rune pattern, the time will be even shorter, not to mention the kind of mechanism giant made in order to fight, in addition to the crystal rune cannon, the immortal crystal on the rune array can support for two months at most. ”
"If there is a fierce battle, who has the spare flaw to replace the immortal crystal? Yuan Bo sighed deeply: "Over the years, I have often reflected on whether my original ideas were too extreme, but when I think about it, I always feel that the mechanism is too rigid. In terms of action, you have to rely on fairy crystals, and you can't make any mistakes in manipulating, and if you press the wrong button, you will lose all the games. ”
Zhang Zhao felt that his words were very reasonable: "Yes, but isn't it the same for you? Even if you put seven immortal crystals in at once, sooner or later they will be exhausted." Yuan Bo replied with pride on his face: "Of course it's different, because my seven-star rune array not only contains the Burning Crystal Rune, but also the Spirit Gathering Rune. ”
"Where there is loss, there must be increase, this is the truth that all things are alive. Since the immortal crystal can be depleted through the Burning Crystal Rune Array, of course, it should be possible to re-increase the spiritual energy condensation by the Spirit Gathering Rune Pattern. In this way, as long as I eat enough flesh and blood, my seven-star rune array can continue to operate endlessly in the beast corpse. ”
"No matter how big and heavy the trap beast is, it can't compare to this beast corpse of tens of thousands of catties. If there is no flesh and blood supplement, I am afraid that the seven immortal crystals will not last for a month, which will not only consume too much, but also show the benefits of my soul melting mechanism. ”
Zhang Zhao didn't seem to understand his words: "Uncle Yuan, do you mean that as long as you eat some flesh and blood, this thing will always be able to run?" Uncle Yuan was about to nod triumphantly when he heard him add again: "But what you just said, it should be possible...... Are you not sure if it will work or not?"
"Uh...... This ......" Yuan Bo rubbed his hands a little embarrassed: "Although I think there is nothing missing from the Seven Star Rune Array, after all, it is just a fantasy and has not really been used, so ...... I want you to give it something to eat to see how it goes. ”
Zhang Zhao was quite looking forward to the prospect he had just said: "Okay, I'll find more raw meat to feed it when I return to Lingxiao, if it can really work, your talisman array will be a complete success." ”
With his soul sense, he made the scorpion dragon beast climb up, and Zhang Zhao rode up and strode forward. Yuan Bo walked not far away, and the two of them walked down the mountain along the path one after the other, intending to pass through the town and return to Lingxiao.
Before they could walk down the hill, a chaotic scream had already come from below: "There is a wild beast coming, everyone be careful to retreat, throw the spear ......" After a hoarse voice sounded, more than a dozen spears were thrown scattered, most of which had landed in the middle of the way, and three or two of them were thrown on the legs of the scorpion dragon beast and were easily bounced off by the thick skin.
"No, let's disperse quickly...... dozens of young soldiers, led by a fierce man with a full beard, formed a semicircle, shouted and raised their swords and guns in front of them.
Commander Guo, who thought that he was in a catastrophe, felt cold in his heart, and suddenly heard a loud voice in front of him: "Don't be afraid, this thing won't hurt people." He looked up and saw a person sitting on the head and neck of the scorpion dragon beast, and next to him stood an old man in cloth with a wrinkled face.
"Alright, alright, it's fine. Commander Guo, who was full of tiredness, looked at Zhang Zhao and Yuan Bo and turned his head and shouted: "Everyone flash to the side of the road, let these two go first, and then we will continue to hurry." ”
Seeing that he gave way, Zhang Zhao hurriedly jumped down from the scorpion dragon beast and returned the salute: "Uncle don't have to be polite, please go first, it's okay if we wait a little longer." Commander Guo dodged away: "Don't dare to be, we have a lot of lives, how can we delay the trip of the two." ”
Although Commander Guo's words were respectful, Zhang Zhao could feel a strong sense of resentment from him: "This uncle, you may have some misunderstanding about us, we did just come down from the mountain, and we didn't want to deliberately disturb everyone's walking. ”
Commander Guo is rough and arrogant, and he has always eaten soft rather than hard, and when he saw Zhang Zhao apologize again and again, his attitude immediately eased down: "Please Shaoxia Haihan, my old Guo has been too angry along the way, and I have misunderstood your kindness." ”
Then he turned around and shook his shoulders and shouted: "Everyone have more strength on their legs, the better the chance of survival if you walk one more mile, brothers, go and call the villagers behind, if you take a few steps like this and rest, we will all have to feed the beasts." ”
The soldiers promised to hurry backwards, and shouted to the people who were too tired to sit still. They seem to have come a long way to support each other, and they are no longer even strangers to each other's names.
