Chapter 58: The Demon Sword That Didn't Take Away
The wing room in the Taoist temple is extremely simple, except for the table is the bed. On top of the bed next to the pillow was a long and narrow wooden box, which was nothing special in terms of wood or workmanship, and in the middle part was decorated with a few copper buckles, through which a dark green ribbon was threaded, and then a rather sloppy knot was tied around the wooden box. It looks like a painting box used to store long-scroll scrolls in a calligraphy and painting shop.
Jiang Li held the painting box in one hand and handed it to Li Xinglin. Calligraphy and painting, among these people, Li Xinglin is proficient, and he may be able to find some clues from them. It's just that the hand is still in the air before it can be sent forward, and suddenly an extremely strong strange feeling emerges from the sea of knowledge, as if grasping an object that he is extremely familiar with, but he can't remember when he has seen this wooden box, let alone have anything to do with it.
Jiang was surprised, and took the painting box back in front of him to look at it carefully, but he couldn't see the truth, and at this moment, the strange feeling that suddenly appeared in his heart became more and more intense, as if his body was about to be attracted by this painting box or something in the painting box, driving himself to impatiently find it.
"What's wrong?" Cao Ru noticed the abnormality of Jiang Li's face, turned around and asked.
"I can't tell, it's like something is calling me from inside. It feels weird, I know I can't eat it, but I don't know why I want to eat it. Jiang Li thought that his idea was really perverted, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Hurriedly grabbed the painting box hard, for fear that he would have a brain fever, so he opened the box or stuffed it into his mouth.
Cao Ru frowned slightly when he heard this, and saw that Jiang Li's appearance was not like a joke, so he hurriedly signaled Jiang Li to calm his mind first, and while letting Li Xinglin go out of the house first, he walked to Jiang Li's side, and took out a wisp of divine sense to go in to investigate one or two.
It's just that this box is just made of ordinary wood, but when the divine sense enters, he can't see anything clearly, but there is a strong smell of blood coming to his face, which makes people want to vomit, and there are some terrible screams that hissed in his sea of consciousness.
Cao Ru's face was slightly pale, thinking about what kind of evil sect items were sealed in this box, which could make her mind turbulent and depressed. And when she raised her head and saw Jiang Li's expression, she was even more surprised.
Obviously, Jiang Li also divided his mind and went into the box to investigate, and it seemed that it should be very different from what he felt, not only was he not affected in the slightest negative way, but he showed a very satisfied and intoxicated look.
Cao Ru looked carefully and saw that Jiang Li was not seduced by some evil spirit, so he felt a little relieved. Thinking about the exploration just now, although the things inside made me very uncomfortable, it didn't necessarily have much power, and it shouldn't have sealed any monsters that destroyed the world. Cao Ru is also a person who is not afraid of things, but this inexplicable feeling aroused her curiosity, thinking that her luck would not be so bad, so she hesitated, "Or, or open it and take a look?" ”
Jiang Li nodded, slowly untied the ribbon that bound it, and then carefully opened the lid of the box.
Lying inside was an extremely slender sword with a black body.
Cao Ru breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the spiritual power that was ready to be launched in his palm, and then began to carefully look at the thin sword in front of him.
However, Jiang Li's eyebrows jumped at first glance, and he suddenly remembered what Xu Mi said when he was able to sign the contract. I thought to myself, could it be that this old-fashioned "I can't ask for it, I can only get a small gain" should really be here?
This sword was familiar to him, it was the same one that the assassin had wounded Lu Zhi that day. Thinking of this, he probably understood where the familiar feeling in the sea just now came from.
The resentful spirits that remained in Luzhi's body that day were devoured by themselves, and although those incomplete resentful spirits had no spiritual sense, they sensed that another part of themselves was in the painting box with the unique sense between the spirits, and the instinct that wanted to merge together was reflected and magnified in the sea of their own consciousness, which was the reason for those strange thoughts just now.
Seeing that Cao Ru was looking at it at this moment, Jiang Li hurriedly leaned over and told him the origin of this thin sword. Cao Ru suddenly realized, no wonder the fierce aura was so strong when he was investigating just now, it turned out that this sword was the cause of trouble.
Cao Ru took the sword in his hand, and saw that the narrow sword body was black all over, and there was no coldness, but no one dared to underestimate its sharpness. Dense runes were outlined on the sword, and although I didn't know what it meant, it seemed that it was relying on these circles to draw and suppress those resentful spirit sacrifices in the sword. Cao Ru flipped his wrist and shook, and there was a sound of a Zheng Zheng sword roaring with the tremor of the sword body, but it was different from the agitation of other long swords, and the sound seemed to be much duller, as if there were countless souls roaring and shouting inside.
The sword is a good sword, and it is an extremely rare rune sword, but after all, it is too evil and vicious, and it is not peaceful.
Cao Ru didn't have much knowledge of the rune sword, and after taking a few looks, he no longer spent energy on the runes on the sword body. Thinking that his eldest girl ring was almost killed by this sword, maybe his soul would be polluted by those resentful spirits and could not be transcended, so he became a part of this thin sword, and he suddenly felt very angry in his heart, and thought that he would find a way to destroy this sword.
Over there, Jiang Li had already seen the angry look on Cao Ru's face, thinking about the explanation of the little sword spirit before, and hurriedly shouted, "Senior sister, leave this sword to me, I can use it." ”
Cao Ru looked back in surprise, thinking that although the difference between good and evil lies in looking at his heart and looking at his deeds, it really has little to do with these external things. But after all, this kind of evil thing is too vicious, and after all, it will be criticized by the mouth and tongue on the body, and if it is created to kill evil, it will also be a detrimental thing to yin virtue after all, not to mention relying on evil techniques to blindly please the sword heart will be harmful to sharpening the sword heart.
Cao Ru naturally couldn't let his little junior brother go astray, thinking that Jiang Li was probably because he hadn't had a weapon in his hand, so he moved his brain so crookedly, and he couldn't bear to blame him for being so sad, so he just persuaded bitterly, "Senior brother, this sword is dangerous and not conducive to cultivation." If you like it, then take your sister's reincarnation sword first, and then return it to me when you find a suitable one later. ”
Thinking of Jiang Li's temper, this matter of borrowing the sword was extremely polite, but if he was listened to by the sword spirit in the reincarnation sword, it was estimated that he would immediately jump up unconvinced.
It's just that Jiang Li didn't agree to it, and the changes that happened to him couldn't be explained in detail after all, so he simply pushed them all to the little sword spirit, and only said that the little sword spirit was arguing for it. Hearing this, Cao Ru was skeptical, obviously in her mind, the little sword spirit who had been in the Sword Pavilion for thousands of years was more reliable than her junior brother.
"Then you have to be careful, listen more to your sword spirit." Cao Ru carefully handed the thin sword to Jiang Li, and then he told him seriously.
Jiang Li nodded in response, while carefully pinching the hilt of the sword to take it, that cautious look fell in Cao Ru's eyes, and he couldn't help but sneer, and said, "Aren't you immune to these resentful spirits, why are you so weak-hearted." ”
Jiang Lizheng focused on those scarlet runes, and didn't raise his head when he heard the words, but just muttered, "Heroes can't stand up to the crowd, just look at these evil sects, I don't know how many resentful spirits are sealed inside, you have to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”
Cao Ru thought that this sword was indeed too evil as Jiang Li said, and the boredom of staying in the sea of knowledge was still there. After all, women are born with clean sex, even if they knew that looking for some was just a reflection in the sea of knowledge, Cao Ru couldn't help but put her fingers under her nose and sniffed carefully, until she confirmed that she was not contaminated with the smell of blood, so she was slightly relieved. At this moment, seeing Jiang Li holding the long sword and taking advantage of the light of the window, his expression was both vigilant and yearning, and he said with a smile in his heart, "You haven't learned talismans here, what are you trying to do here, with this kung fu, it is better to ask your seven elders to come forward." ”
Jiang Li felt a chill, almost cut himself with trembling hands, turned around and said angrily, "Senior sister, you can't talk nonsense!" ”
Cao Ruwan'er smiled, turned a blind eye to Jiang Li's non-lethal feign, and was about to say a few more words to tease the little junior brother, but under the expectation of her beautiful eyes, she cried out in surprise, "There is even a letter in the box." ”
Jiang looked away and saw a letterhead lying on the flannel at the bottom of the box. The yellowish hue is similar to that of flannel, and the ink is faintly visible through the paper. It's just that the two of them were attracted by this slender rune sword from the moment they opened the box, and no one thought to take another look at the box for so long, but only now did they discover the existence of this letter. Watching Cao Ru open the letter, Jiang Li only saw the five words "Li City Lord Junjian" on the right, but more could not be seen clearly, looking at Cao Ru with a strange face, expecting that there must be a story in it.
"This traitor is very slippery, and he actually calculated that we are coming." Dong Ru snorted coldly, raised the letter in his hand to Li Xinglin, who had just been invited into the room, his face was full of indignation, and he said with a sneer, "If it is really written in this letter, we still have to be grateful to him." ”
Today, according to the previous conjecture, I found the Qingfeng View, and the empirical evidence found at the scene was confirmed by the previous speculation, except for the dark pile from the Northern Qi Dynasty that had already fled after hearing the wind, everything was very smooth. It's just that the house should be empty, and if it is an empty room at this time, even the slightest clue has been dealt with in advance, it should be the most reasonable scene.
But now not only is there a murder weapon that was stabbed on the street at the head of the bed, but also a letter is left in the box, and these deliberately left clues make people feel so unreal.
Not to mention that this petty little guy is sprinkled with thousands of words, but I'm afraid that if I really keep this spy in the dungeon and torture it word by word, I can't spit out so many words in my mouth.
Li Xinglin was only dumbfounded, and only after a while did he sincerely sigh, "The handwriting is really good." ”
