Chapter 372: Soul Suppression
Holding this paperweight, Chen Ziyang looked at it carefully, he didn't know the talisman carved under the paperweight, and he didn't know what it was for.
However, it may be because it has been left for a long time, and there is a lot of dust and dirt in the gap of the talisman carved under the paperweight, and these dirty things have filled the gaps in the talisman. In order to be able to see this rune more clearly, Chen Ziyang used a toothpick to pick at the dust in the gap little by little.
This work is very difficult to do, because it has been too long, and the dust has been solidified, and it is solid in the crevices. At the beginning, Chen Ziyang couldn't even insert a toothpick, and it wasn't until he broke a dozen toothpicks that he mastered the strength of his hand and the angle at which the toothpick was inserted, so he patiently cleaned it up little by little.
It wasn't until late that Chen Ziyang cleaned up all the dust in the cracks of the talisman. But then he found that his labor was not fruitful at all. Although this talisman is now very clearly reflected, he still can't understand the meaning of the talisman, and he has never seen this talisman at all.
The Taoist talisman inheritance is vast and profound, and there are no less than hundreds of talismans for different purposes, probably because of the long relationship, many talismans have been lost.
Although he still didn't understand the meaning of the talisman engraved under the paperweight, because Chen Ziyang was going to use this paperweight as a magic weapon, he didn't feel that his work was in vain, at least the clean paperweight looked much more comfortable.
I don't know what kind of wood this paperweight is carved from, and the whole piece of wood is a black and red color, and it is very oily. Only the back of the beast above the paperweight has now taken on a large black color because of its perennial grip.
Because there is so little understanding of wood, Chen Ziyang's idea of judging the age of the paperweight by the wood used to make this paperweight has come to naught. But he judged from the righteousness of injecting mana into the paperweight and the paperweight feedback that this paperweight should be very old, and the yang energy in it is very sufficient, and it is a good magic weapon.
After observing the paperweight, Chen Ziyang bit the middle finger of his left hand and pressed his middle finger on the paperweight, preparing to sacrifice his second natal weapon.
Each Taoist master can sacrifice several natal weapons, but generally speaking, each Taoist master will only sacrifice two or three natal weapons at most. The first reason is because items that can become natal weapons are so difficult to find, and two or three pieces can be obtained by one person.
And another reason is that the use of natal weapons is too mana-intensive. The Natal Weapon that is being sacrificed will slightly increase the mana contained in it, but if you want to truly exert the power of the Natal Weapon, you need to use the essence blood of the Taoist Master as an introduction when using it, and smear the essence blood on the Natal Weapon, so that the next time you use the Natal Weapon, these Natal Weapons will exert the greatest effect.
And in the same way, after smearing his essence blood on the natal magic weapon, there is not much mana left in the Taoist masters' bodies, and there is no way to use the second natal magic weapon again.
When he was in the Absolute Yin Land, Jin Huang smeared his essence blood on the mouth of the jar of his altar magic weapon, and then threw the altar out, and the altar-shaped magic weapon trapped the black mist that attacked everyone, so that everyone could play to their heart's content.
But later, even when he was in a bitter battle with General Hei, Jin Huang didn't use his altar magic weapon anymore, not because he didn't want to use it, but because after using it once, it was difficult for his mana to recover in a short period of time, and there was no way to use it a second time.
The reason why Chen Ziyang wanted to refine his second natal artifact was to see what the utility of this paperweight artifact was, and at the same time, his Xuanming Ancient Sword was too good, if he really used the Xuanming Ancient Sword that had been sacrificed once, Chen Ziyang might not be able to use a trace of mana within a month or two.
So he is going to pay a good tribute to this paperweight, as his second natal weapon, in this way, usually encounter some small evils, just need to use this paperweight, how can you use a knife to kill chickens, Xuanming Ancient Sword or wait until the moment of life and death to consider using it, after all, it hurts too much.
The sacrificial refining of the natal magic weapon is not an overnight thing, but according to Chen Ziyang's estimate, because the size of the paperweight magic weapon is relatively small, and the mana contained in it is relatively small compared to the Xuanming Ancient Sword, so this time the sacrificial refining will not take several months like the sacrificial refining of the Xuanming Ancient Sword, and the sacrifice should be completed in about seven or eight days.
Early the next morning, Chen Ziyang got on the bus and rushed to the destination of his trip. When he was in the car, Chen Ziyang had been thinking about his entry point, what to do after arriving at the location of the tomb, and how to find clues about the Du family.
But fortunately, because Chen Ziyang had searched for information on the Internet before, he could now be sure that finding the clues of the Du family and going to the tomb where Lao Lu had gone down before to find the strange diamond could be combined into one thing, after all, the Du family died in the guild hall above this ancient tomb.
There is no such coincidence in the world, a family of tomb robbers died on the top of an ancient tomb, everyone knows that there will be some cats in it, but they just don't know what the truth of the matter is.
The location of this ancient tomb mentioned by Lao Lu is quite special, and it happens to be at the junction of a county-level city and a small county town. Chen Ziyang roughly measured it on the map before, and the county-level city was slightly closer to the location of this ancient tomb, so the hotel he booked before was in this county-level city.
After all, a county-level city is a county-level city, and the area of this county-level city is not very large.
After showing his ID card at the hotel, the hotel service staff told Chen Ziyang that the things he ordered had arrived, and when he told Chen Ziyang the news, the waitress looked at him with strange eyes.
Chen Ziyang knew that this was because there were too many things he purchased, and at the same time, there were a few things that were relatively large, which scared the waiter. Or maybe his actions have added too much work to the waiter, and the waiter is a little dissatisfied.
But it should be said or not, the service of the hotel is still good, and the outer packaging of the things that Chen Ziyang bought on the Internet has not been opened, and they are neatly arranged in the hotel room.
Seeing the appearance of the room now, even Chen Ziyang felt a little surprised. The area of the room is not very large, except for the bed and two chairs and two tables, the rest of the space is almost crowded with the boxes of these things that I bought, and it is no wonder that the waiter will look at himself with that strange look, and no wonder these things will be stacked so neatly, if you don't stack them carefully, it is very likely that the room will not be able to fit these things.
As the saying goes, the eyes are lazy and the hands are good, as soon as he saw a room of things, Chen Ziyang didn't even open the ** to check the equipment he bought. Coupled with the reason for spending his mind on refining paperweights and sitting in the car for a day, Chen Ziyang fell on the bed and fell asleep.
For the next few days, Chen Ziyang practiced his paperweights while taking inventory of the equipment he had bought. Among these devices, the largest is a 100-meter-long air duct and a medical oxygen cylinder.
This oxygen cylinder is an old-fashioned oxygen cylinder, blue all over, almost a person tall, but probably because of the fear of an explosion during transportation, this oxygen cylinder is empty and there is no oxygen in it.
The reason why he bought such a long trachea was because Chen Ziyang was not very confident in his closed qigong, so when he was about to find the deep hole formed by the diamond that Lao Lu said in the tomb, he put the oxygen cylinder on the outside of the hole and drilled down with the catheter to find the diamond.
Lao Lu said before that the hole formed by the diamond is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through reluctantly, so it is very unrealistic to carry an oxygen cylinder for diving, and the oxygen cylinder is likely to be stuck in the hole, so Chen Ziyang came up with such an idea.
After all, it is easy to have problems if you rely on closed qigong alone, and at the same time, your own closed qi gong practice is not so handy, so it is better to prepare for both. The airway is very thin, and there should be no problem going down into that deep hole with the airpipe.
There were a lot of other items I bought together, but most of them were things that Chen Ziyang commonly used, such as portable oxygen cylinders, gas masks, flashlights and batteries for a single person. Moreover, Chen Ziyang also bought a titanium alloy sapper shovel that was exactly the same as that used by Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai.
This style of sapper shovel Chen Ziyang has used many times before, the sapper shovel is very sharp, but also very light, so that this shovel is very labor-saving. Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to borrow one from the two of them, but then he thought that once he borrowed this sapper shovel, then the two of them would know what they were going to do and would definitely accompany him, which was the last thing Chen Ziyang wanted to see.
However, the price of this sapper shovel is 20,000 yuan, which really hurts Chen Ziyang's flesh, he is not like Umbrella Shishuai and Yang Lei, the two of them like this shovel very much before they bought it, and it is very likely that they will use it this time, which is really a bit of a waste.
However, there is a reason why it is expensive, this kind of shovel is really very easy to use, so Chen Ziyang chose it on the Internet for a long time, and finally decided to buy this kind of identical shovel, after all, it is easy to use, and secondly, he does know the quality of this shovel.
At this time, there is no need to get a tool that is not easy to use in order to save a few dollars, it is very likely that he will put his own life in it, and at that time, no amount of money can buy back his life, so although Chen Ziyang was a little distressed, he still bought it.
The cardboard boxes containing these items were all given by Chen Ziyang to the aunt who cleaned up the hotel, and in exchange, the aunt helped Chen Ziyang clean up some other garbage, which also saved him a lot of trouble.
On the fourth day of arriving here, when Chen Ziyang was practicing his paperweight for the fifth time, suddenly, he felt a strong fluctuation coming back from the paperweight, and Chen Ziyang knew that this paperweight had been successfully sacrificed and had become his second natal weapon.
At the same time, Chen Ziyang also vaguely understood the function of the talisman carved under this magic weapon in his mind. This talisman can actually calm the soul! Chen Ziyang's eyes flashed with golden light, this time he didn't pick up a big leak, but picked up a treasure, the soul suppression talisman has been lost for hundreds of years!
Chen Ziyang had also heard of this kind of talisman from Lao Dao, and he had not even seen it with his own eyes. Unexpectedly, this time, under the mistake of yin and yang, he actually let himself get a Taoist talisman that has been lost for hundreds of years.
What is Soul Suppression? The town is suppression, and the meaning of the soul is wide. It is said that people and ghosts have different paths, but people and ghosts have one thing in common, that is, they both have souls, people have three souls and seven spirits, ghosts have ghosts, and this soul-suppressing talisman not only has a deterrent effect on ghosts and evil things, but also can affect living people.
Even Chen Ziyang faintly felt that if he hadn't had that golden ball in the Absolute Yin Land before, but had this paperweight, it was very likely that he would be able to cure Yang Lei's madness by directly using this magic weapon, and the effect of the soul suppression talisman was so powerful.
After being stunned for a while, Chen Ziyang happily lay on the bed and danced with his hands, giggling at the same time. "I've found a treasure, this time I've really found a treasure!" He went crazy in bed for a while before he calmed down.
Chen Ziyang hurriedly asked the waiter for a few pieces of white paper, and at the same time smeared the cinnabar he bought on the top of this talisman, and then printed this talisman on the white paper like a seal. Chen Ziyang wants to keep this soul suppression talisman well, and if he has time in the future, he will study and study it well to see if this talisman can be used elsewhere.
That night, Chen Ziyang was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night, and kept lying on the bed and smirking, so that the guests in the next room complained to the waiter, saying that there might be a ghost next door, and he often heard the laughter of ghosts crying wolves in the middle of the night.
Because of sorting things and recovering his strength, Chen Ziyang was delayed for a few days, but because of this soul-calming paperweight, Chen Ziyang's confidence increased greatly. So early that morning, he found the waiter and inquired about the guild hall built on top of the ancient tomb.
After briefly telling the waiter where he was looking and asking the waiter if he knew about the fire more than ten years ago, the waiter looked at Chen Ziyang in surprise, as if she had seen a ghost, and at the same time, the waiter asked Chen Ziyang in fear:
"You...... What are you doing in that place? If you want to die, get out of the way, don't die with us, and we won't even be able to do business. ”
