Volume 1 The First Journey Chapter 6 The Scabbard

Not far from the town of Luofeng.

"Let me see where I go next." Wei Changming chewed the dry food he was carrying in his mouth, and held the map given by his father in his hand.

Wei Changming, who has never been far away, seems to be a little confused.

Wei Changming looked at the villages marked on the map and roughly estimated the location with his hand.

"You should be able to get to Majia Village after walking a few miles, so let's go there and rest first."

Wei Changming determined the direction and set off.

To get to Majia Village, you have to pass through the jungle between the two towns.

The rain in Sangzhou is intensive, and it will rain heavily from time to time.

This is naturally no obstacle for cultivators, but it is a great trouble for ordinary people, not to mention the bad weather, and it is easy to breed mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, and the rainforest is dense, which is not a small trouble for ordinary people.

So the people's villages were built on high ground, which was safe and worry-free.

This is true in both Luofeng Town and Majia Village.

When the sun was about to set, Wei Changming finally walked down the hillside and came to the rainforest.

"Well, that's right."

The setting sun shone on Wei Changming's face, which was slightly reddened.

"It's not too early, let's camp here and rest first, and then set off through the jungle at dawn tomorrow."

The first time he went out, Wei Changming was a little nervous, but also a little expectant.

"What will you encounter along the way?"

Wei Changming's thoughts were flying.

Before you know it, the stars are hanging in the sky, and the night is deep.

"Then again, I haven't been out for long, and I'm a little homesick."

Wei Changming sat beside the big stone, raised his head and carefully identified the direction, and looked towards the location of Luofeng Town.

"Huh? What is it. ”

The rainforest is down the hillside, some distance from the town.

It's late at night, and except for a few houses with candles lit, the town should be pitch black.

And now Wei Changming has stepped into the ranks of cultivation, his physical fitness has improved significantly compared to before, and his vision can be seen farther.

When Wei Changming looked at the location of his hometown again, he made a different discovery.

In the direction of the hill where I like to relax the most, a point of light suddenly flickered.

The point of light is particularly conspicuous at night, and suddenly disappears in the blink of an eye.

"Is it a star?"

On one side of the hill is the town of Luofeng, and on the other side is a cliff, and I never noticed what was under the mountain before.

Wei Changming got up, patted the dust on his body, and decided to go to the other side of the mountain to find out.

"Phew, it's finally here."

Wei Changming took a breath, walked to the bottom of the cliff, and looked up.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Wei Changming carefully grabbed the branches and buds growing on the hillside and poked them up.

One step, two steps······

When Wei Changming climbed halfway up the hill, he finally discovered the source of the glow.

I saw a scabbard plunged straight into the mountainside, but the body of the sword was gone.

If you look closely, the scabbard is covered with mud, and several spirit birds are depicted on the mouth of the scabbard, and you can vaguely see a few gold patterns extending from the sheath to the bottom of the scabbard.

"Is this a magic weapon?"

Wei Changming had never seen a spiritual weapon since he was a child, but he only knew a general idea from the mouths of merchants passing through the town, and he didn't know much about the specifics.

But this scabbard still made Wei Changming feel extraordinary.

Wei Changming pulled out the scabbard, but the scabbard only loosened slightly.

"Huh?"

Although Wei Changming didn't use his strength, his body that practiced qi was already different from ordinary people, not to mention that it was just an ownerless scabbard, and he couldn't take it out from the cliff.

This time, Wei Changming held his breath and gathered his strength, gathered his strength with his hands, and pulled it out hard.

The strong recoil almost caused Wei Changming to fall halfway up the mountain.

But when you look closely, this time the scabbard didn't move at all.

Wei Changming scratched his head with his feet on the small stones.

Could it be that the more force you use, the harder it will be to pull out the scabbard?

"It's weird, is this a jing?"

Wei Changming muttered quietly.

But at this moment, the scabbard suddenly shone again.

This time, Wei Changming looked carefully, and the golden veins on the scabbard shone with brilliance.

This startled Wei Changming.

Is this responding to me?

Wei Changming said cautiously again: "I heard that powerful spirit weapons have their own consciousness, since the carving on your body is a spirit bird, then I will call you Sister Spirit Bird." ”

Seeing that there was no response, Wei Changming continued to speak:

"Sister Spirit Bird, I see that you have an extraordinary appearance, but you are living on this barren mountain cliff, it must be undesirable, I will help you pull it out first, do you see it?"

As soon as the words fell, the scabbard seemed to respond to Wei Changming, and the sheath gradually dimmed and no longer emitted light.

Seeing this, Wei Changming decided to try again.

This time, Wei Changming didn't use his strength, and he didn't even have much strength, and with a slight pull, the scabbard was taken into his hand.

Wei Changming, who had the scabbard in his hand, slowly climbed down the hill, and after standing still, patted the dust on his body.

Seeing that the scabbard was covered with dust, Wei Changming gently wiped the scabbard with the strip of cloth in his hand.

Wei Changming wiped it very carefully, and even the edge of the sheath was wiped clean as much as he could.

The stars in the sky seem to tell people that the time is not early.

Under the light of the moon, the young man in white held the golden scabbard of the spirit bird in his arms.

"Goo····· Goo ······ Goo ······"

The owl in the tree chirped softly.

"Well, it's clean now."

The young man in white was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Chang Ming carefully raised the scabbard and put it in the moonlight to watch quietly.

This time the scabbard did not shine any more.

Wei Changming suddenly thought of what the merchants in the town had said.

"Everything has a spirit, and some magic weapons can resonate with their masters."

"The strong can forcibly recognize the Lord by virtue of their cultivation, while those who are in the same realm or have a weaker cultivation can use the method of recognizing the Lord by dripping blood, and if the spirit weapon accepts you, you can establish a connection with it."

But Wei Changming had a little drum in his heart.

"Is this scabbard a complete magic weapon, where has the sword body gone, so that I can still recognize the master?"

The more Wei Changming thought about it, the more worried he became.

"No matter, it's not too early, just give it a try, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Wei Changming immediately cut his fingers.

"Sss After gasping, Wei Changming squeezed a few drops of blood and dripped them on the scabbard.

In an instant, the scabbard flickered again, but after a while, it returned to darkness again.

"Strange, is it because of the failure to confess the Lord?"

When he was puzzled, Wei Changming suddenly felt a sense of dizziness and hurriedly held on to the mountain wall.

"What's the matter, it's that I'm too tired today? But it's getting late, so let's rest for a while. ”

Wei Changming found a clean stone, put the large and small packages aside, held the scabbard in his hand, and lay down quietly.

······

Cicadas chirp, birds chirp, leaves fall, and the breeze blows.

The boy gradually settled down, not knowing whether to cultivate or fall asleep, and was silent all night.

It's just that in the middle of the night, a slight female voice came out of nowhere.

"It's a man, it's good."
