Chapter 15: Knowing the Sword
"Okay, well, then don't kill him!"
I laughed excitedly.
"You, why are you interceding for me? I just wanted your life......"
The burly young man who was released, who seemed to be a loser who was released for the first time in the Nine Spirit Palace, looked at me gratefully and choked up.
"I don't know why, but I don't want anyone to end their lives in this way."
I shook my head, I really don't know, I ...... I felt like a strange person, but when I released the burly youth, the other races didn't seem to show joy, but despised the burly youth for surviving, and even his own tribe wouldn't let him go back, and I was stunned again when I saw this scene.
"Recruitment conference, the top eleven in the ring competition, listen to orders!"
The old voice echoed in the sky again.
Eleven of us, all of us, stood together, and the other ten stood quietly behind me.
"Gengziyi, you are the first!"
In front of the main hall of the Nine Spirits Palace, one of the ten elders said lightly.
"So what?"
I asked, stunned.
"You have two choices now, one is to get the reward of the Nine Spirits Palace, and the other is to stay in the Nine Spirits Palace on an errand, but no matter which one you choose, we will give you priority to choosing a woman to marry, this is the honor of the first place!"
The elder said lightly again.
These elders couldn't see their faces clearly, because the position they were standing in was too high, but their voices could be heard clearly, and they were really profound......
"Cultivation is ...... By the way, the ethnic groups on this island are mainly cultivators, I remembered...... It's no wonder that you didn't let you use immortal magic and magic to win at first! β
I muttered to myself.
Thinking of the indifference that those ironclad generals showed when they killed one loser after another, I felt that it was not interesting to stay in the Nine Spirits Palace as an errand, it was better to return to the clan to live a hard life, after thinking about it, I replied loudly: "If you really want me to choose, I choose to reward!" β
Hearing my words, there was no sound on the stage, and two guards came up and motioned for me to follow them.
After getting off the stone platform, he walked step by step on the stone steps to the highest and largest Jiuling Palace, where there were ten elders waiting there.
When I approached, one of the elders said to the bottom, "The other ten, according to the old rules, go their own way." β
After the elder finished speaking, the rest of the guards respectfully agreed, and in this way, I followed the ten elders and walked towards the side hall of the Nine Spirits Palaceβ
In the side hall, there are many attics, the shape is very peculiar, and outside each attic, there are two guards to guard.
At the upper end of this hall, the words "Treasure Pavilion" are written.
"There are many worldly things in it, and perhaps for you lowly people, it is a good treasure, you can choose any one, and then choose a young and beautiful woman to marry."
The elder who spoke earlier said with a smile.
"Uh......"
I felt uncomfortable for a while, I didn't expect that our race, in the eyes of Jiuling Palace, was just a lowly race, I was just about to have a seizure, although I didn't know why I couldn't stand the elder's frivolous words, at this moment, a middle-aged man in a dark green robe walked slowly to me.
"I'll take you in, fellow Daoists, you wait outside the door for a while."
The middle-aged man in dark green robe said with a smile to the rest of the elders.
"Then bother the three elders, we will wait outside, you go and return quickly."
The elder who had spoken earlier smiled again.
"You ......"
"Let's go!"
Before I could speak again, the middle-aged man in the dark green robe grabbed my wrist, reprimanded me in a low voice, and dragged me into the threshold of the main hall...... "If you don't want to die, shut up!" β
At the moment of entering the threshold, the middle-aged man in the dark green robe reprimanded again.
"Uh......"
I looked at him in astonishment, as if there was a slight feeling on his body, but when I thought about it, I didn't feel anything, but his face, I seemed to have seen somewhere, very strange and very familiar......
"There are a lot of worldly treasures in here, which are dispensable for Mrs. Qingtan, but in order to attract those ethnic groups outside, they are also collected in this treasure pavilion and sent out regularly, so that those ethnic groups can survive here in a down-to-earth manner."
The dark green robe said to me lightly, and after speaking, he led me into each small attic.
Sure enough, there are many Dharma and magic weapons that have long been lost in the world, and they are all collected in them.
"Me, how do I know these are Dharma weapons? How do I feel familiar with these things? β
I stood still, reached out and touched my chin, as if I couldn't believe it was real.
"Don't you even have the memory of being a cultivator?"
The dark green robe glared at me coldly, and I trembled, as if he was very serious, but I didn't understand why he was glaring at me.
"I know I'm cultivating, but I don't know what I'm cultivating, such as talismans, inner dan, and so on...... Hey? I seem to have these memories, it's so weird! β
Thinking of this, I inexplicably took out the blank yellow talisman from my arms, which was given to me by a black-robed man in the morning, I don't understand why that person gave me this, but with this, it seems to evoke some memories hidden deep in my heart, talismans, talismans...... Could it be that I am cultivating talismans...... But no one in my family has repaired this one?
"What kind of magic weapon method do you want, hurry up, don't grind!"
The dark green robe suddenly urged with some impatience.
"I think I need some magic about talismans, or evil things......"
I'll be honest.
"Put your stuff away!"
The dark green robe glanced at the blank yellow rune in my hand, just with a wave of his hand, the blank rune paper in my hand was burned in an instant, so frightened that I hurriedly took two steps back, I didn't expect this person's Dao cultivation to be so high!
"Oh."
I nodded in dismay.
"Well, there is no method about talismans here, only a superficial method of gathering qi, and there are all kinds of magic weapons, such as evil things, recently the Nine Spirit Palace has collected a good sword, I can take you to see it."
The dark green robe said lightly.
"But I'm not interested in swords......"
"You have to be interested!"
Seeing the serious eyes of the dark green robe, I had to nod helplessly.
After a while, the dark green robe took me to a sword hiding room, and said: "There are many ancient swords in it, all of which flow out from various Taoist sects in the Central Plains, and one of them is the good sword I just said, you can go in and see for yourself, whether you can find it depends on your creation!" β
After saying that, the dark green robe turned around and walked out.
"This ......"
I hesitated for a moment, so I had to cautiously walk into the sword room, as the dark green robe said, the swords in this are all excellent ancient swords, and it is the best choice to drive away evil spirits and punish demons.
The strange thing is that these ancient swords are all depicted traces, those traces seem to be some ancient spells, each sword, are engraved with the same ancient spells, some, the ancient spells on them slowly exude black gas, and the sword body of the gangqi, but can not be sensed, strange......
"Haven't found it yet!"
"Huh? You ......"
Suddenly, the dark green robe came behind me, and I was so frightened that I shuddered, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Why don't you make a little noise, scare me!" β
"Humph! You're out of mind, and of course you're afraid! β
The dark green robe said coldly.
"By the way, why are there ancient spells engraved on the bodies of these ancient swords? It seems that with these ancient spells, the qi inside can't come out. β
"You're not stupid, if everyone has a supreme magic weapon, then how can the Nine Spirit Palace manage them? Of course, it is necessary to use ancient spells to suppress them, but some ancient swords are too strong, and the ancient spells that enter them continue to dissipate, and the black qi you see is gradually reducing the power of the spell, and every ten years, you have to suppress the ancient spells again......"
"Oh......"
I suddenly realized, nodded slightly, turned around, are some swords that are engraved with ancient spells, just when I was in a hurry, I suddenly heard a slight trembling sound, from a corner of the sword room, inexplicably bypassed, when I saw the wide and heavy broken sword, my eyes suddenly hot, I hurriedly reached out and touched the corner of my eye...... "I, what's wrong with me?" How do I feel like I have something to do with this sword? β
"Do you know this sword?"
The dark green robe was behind me, and he asked lightly.
"I don't know ......"
I couldn't hold back the tears falling down at the moment, but I didn't know why it was like this...... "Forget it, maybe it's because this sword has a story, and the aura is too strong, and I can't resist it, so I will be inspired to the resentment inside......"
"This sword has no resentment, only the pure and yang heaven and earth righteousness, in order to bless it with the ancient mantra, our ten elders worked together to bless it three times, and then it was blessed, but the ancient mantra above dissipated quickly, maybe it will be blessed again soon."
The dark green robe said lightly, and then said, "You can try this sword." β
"I ...... I'm afraid I don't like to use such a heavy ancient sword......"
Although I refused, but my heart was hooked by that inexplicable sadness, as if no matter how I got rid of it, it was useless, and as a last resort, I slowly came to the sword, stretched out my hand, trembled slightly, and took it off little by little......
"Boom!"
"Buzz ......"
At the moment of the tentacle, the sword body emitted a sonorous sound, and then, the ancient spell on it dissipated cleanly, and there seemed to be a mighty righteousness, along the arm, which instantly spread into my body, I closed my eyes slightly...... In my mind, it seems that at this moment, I have fallen into the chaos of overturning the river and the sea, one picture after another, and familiar figures one after another...... Who are you...... Who are you...... Who is it...... Suddenly I opened my eyes, stared directly at the heavy ancient sword in my hand, and shouted, "Dragon and Tiger Demon Sword!" I, my master's dragon and tiger demon sword...... Woowoo...... I remember......"
