Volume 5: The First Song 571: Weilan (3)
In seventh place is a woman named Ni Qiuyi.
After seeing Ni Qiuyi's portrait and then looking at the information collected by Liu Feng about this woman in the back, Qian Chao couldn't help but begin to admire the person who painted the portrait of Ni Qiuyi, I don't know if the person who wrote the pen is Liu Feng or which of his subordinates, in short, this portrait shows Ni Qiuyi's temperament almost completely on paper.
Ni Qiuyi is a young woman, but not a woman with a good look, compared to the ordinary good-looking woman's goose-egg-shaped, soft-lined, fair-skinned face, her face looks long and fleshless, like a narrowed piece of paper, the length of the face makes her cheekbones more prominent, but her cheekbones are high and slightly protruding to the sides, which makes her look a little fierce and difficult to hide. This woman's hairline is very high, so the heavenly court is a little too full, but a pair of eyebrows are extremely light, and there are only two faint shallow marks that are almost invisible above the protruding eyebrow bones, which makes her eyes look particularly eye-catching, it must be said that Ni Qiuyi's eyes are a pair of authentic apricot eyes, unfortunately these apricot eyes are a little small, and there are some hanging eyes, and it is even more regrettable that the pupils in her eyes are smaller, which makes her pair of small apricot eyes appear too white, and the pupils are almost two small black dots like rice grains, No matter who you look at, such eyes will have a fierce light exposed, which makes people feel furious when they look at it. In addition, because of the long face, the bridge of the woman's nose appears to be long, and the middle of her nose bridge is as high as a hill, but the tip of the nose is small and sharp and almost lying on top of the person, which looks very incongruous. Further down, her lips are drawn into a shallow line, which is enough to show that this woman usually has two thin lips tightly pursed, not only that, but the corners of her mouth are also slightly drooping, which shows that this woman is still a bitter and mean character.
With such a appearance, it is really reluctant to say that she is a middle-aged person, and the description of Ni Qiuyi's appearance in Liu Feng's booklet is directly three words: looks very good!
However, judging from the information collected by Liu Feng, this woman is a figure that must not be underestimated, because she is good at using drugs.
Ni Qiuyi was born in the Ni family in Qiongzhou, and the Ni family is not a prosperous and powerful family in Qiongzhou, but the people of the Ni family are a headache in Qiongzhou and even in the entire cultivation world, for the same reason, almost all the people of the Ni family are good at using drugs.
Although the vast majority of the monks in the spiritual world believe that the use of poison is a means that cannot be used on the table, the monks who really study this way can only be feared or simply run away. Quite simply, even if you can defeat or even kill a monk who is good at using poison in a head-on battle, the final outcome is likely to be that you will suddenly be poisoned shortly after you win, and you don't even know when you were poisoned by the other party before you die.
Qian Chao was poisoned when he fought against Wei Gelin, and that time almost killed him, but what he was in was Wei Gelin's blood poison, to be precise, it was an evil art, a means for evil cultivators and opponents to die together. However, the Ni family's methods are not evil arts, otherwise they would have been exterminated by the Five Spirit Sect a long time ago, and the poisons they use have corresponding spells to cooperate with them, so there are many types, and they are all made by collecting various medicines and refining them with secret methods. The use of poison is the family inheritance of the Ni family, and I don't know when, the people of the Ni family began to study the means of using poison in depth, how many generations of inheritance, they have developed the use of poison to an unprecedented height, within the five elements, all kinds of spells of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, almost all of them can be used to poison, the technique is either secret or violent, as long as it is against the opponent, or clearly watching their poisoning but there is no escape, or unknowingly they are poisoned, and in a hurry, the whole body is lost and spasms to the ground, In short, the Ni family's methods are unguardable, and therefore no one dares to provoke the Ni family in Qiongzhou.
Perhaps it is because of too much exposure to poisons that this family is not prosperous.
In addition to Ni Qiuyi's use of poison, she is also a spiritual monk, but the envoys she raises are all poisonous bees, butterflies, insects, snakes and other poisonous monster insects.
In the news that Liu Feng got, Ni Qiuyi is a woman with small energy, heavy scheming, and poisonous methods. It is said that in Qiongzhou, because Ni Qiuyi is ugly, she was privately nicknamed "Long-faced Yaksha", Ni Qiuyi also knows that she is not good-looking, so she does not want to associate with outsiders, but the sons of the local big families always make fun of her appearance in private. It is said that once a lot of sons of the family drink the banquet to pass the color ball play, the banquet selects a person to beat a drum with his back to the crowd, everyone passes a brocade ball in turn in the drum, when the drum stops, the brocade ball in the hands of whom will be punished for drinking, and then the person who is punished for drinking will beat the drum, of course, there is a rule in this, that is, how to be punished when the drum stops should be decided in advance by the person who beats the drum. The gentlemen were having fun that day, and one of them seemed to have been calculated, so he drank a lot, and when he didn't know how many times he beat the drum, he took advantage of the wine and said, "Whoever gets that ball this time will go and be the husband of the long-faced Nashatra," and then he started beating the drums.
Everyone laughed and scolded when they heard this, and then threw the brocade ball like hiding from the plague, which was very lively, but after a long time, the drum did not stop, and when everyone looked at it, they were shocked to find that they didn't know when the person who beat the drum was replaced by Ni Qiuyi, and the original drumming guy was already lying there unconscious, and when Ni Qiuyi put down his hand, everyone didn't even notice, because the drum has not been chaotic, and Ni Qiuyi saw that he was discovered, so he simply got up and hugged the drum in front of everyone and watched everyone sneer. When everyone stopped in surprise, she also said, "Okay, it's not bad to choose a husband from among you, it depends on which one belongs to me."
As soon as she said this, the sons of these families immediately regarded the gorgeous brocade ball as a bloody dead man's head, and immediately passed it on to their next one, but in the blink of an eye, the ball returned. Ni Qiuyi was not in a hurry, she was beating the drum unhurriedly and non-stop in front of those sons, and she didn't know when she would stop, and even she reached out to take a pot of wine from the table and drank it mouth-to-mouth, even so, the drum kept stopping, so those sons of the family kept coming and going in embarrassment, and no one dared to resist in the process. In this way, she knocked for almost two or three hours before she got bored, reached out and snatched the brocade ball, and said, "You are also worthy!" The people finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were shocked to find that the guy who was beating the drum didn't know how long it had been cold!
But even if Ni Qiuyi killed someone, the elders of the deceased's family only suffered a dumb loss, and they didn't dare to come to the Ni family to ask for an explanation!
In eighth place, the name is Qi Sijing, a young man with an ordinary appearance, Qi Sijing on the portrait has a slightly sickly face on his face, and he doesn't look very bright, but other than that, he has an ordinary appearance, and there is nothing attractive about it. However, Qian Chao was very interested in this person, because judging from Liu Feng's news, this Qi Sijing was actually a character who was proficient in talismans, and it was this that aroused Qian Chao's curiosity.
Qi Sijing is a child of a family, he was born in the Qi family in Jiangzhou, and the Qi family is inheriting the art of talismans.
The art of talisman is not common in the cultivation world, but there are still it, such as the Mr. Ba that Zhang Yi, Zong Fang and Lou Qingyao saw in Ruixuan Town a few days ago, it was still a loose cultivation, Zhang Yi and the others made some blood hidden talismans through Mr. Ba's hands, with this kind of talisman, Zhang Yi and others can follow Qian Chao and others into the forbidden land in the future.
Compared with other means or cultivation methods, there are indeed not many talismans in the cultivation world, and the similar is the study of formations, which is also very rare in the cultivation world. However, so many families in the cultivation world are like grains of sand on the river beach, and there will always be some families who have obtained the art of talisman by chance and passed it on. However, it should be noted that the talisman techniques in the cultivation world are generally inherited as "techniques" and are means.
Or take that Mr. Ba as an example, he said that he was not a casual cultivator before, and he was forced to become a casual cultivator after the death of his small family, and the blood hidden talisman he made was the inheritance of his small family before, and Mr. Ba relied on this means to make a living in the cultivation world. The effect of the blood concealment talisman has been tested by Zhang Yi and the three of them in the forbidden land, and it is indeed effective, which shows that Mr. Ba is skillful. But no matter what, Mr. Ba will only make a blood talisman, and it is even likely that if the twisting runes on the blood talisman he made are disassembled, he himself does not know what each rune means, and Mr. Ba has long relied on the steps taught by the elders in his memory to make this kind of blood talisman, and he does not dare to make any changes or mistakes in the process, for fear that he will be wrong and this talisman will not be able to be used.
In other words, Mr. Ba only has a "technique" or a means, and he doesn't know why those specific runes are written on the rune paper in a specific format and are a blood hidden talisman, but he doesn't know why.
In fact, this is also the common disease of most of the families in the cultivation world who inherit the study of talismans, they are proficient in one or several talismans, these talismans do not know how many years they have been passed down in their families, and they have been regarded as important secrets and never passed on, so far the talismans they have made are almost no different from the talismans made by their ancestors back then, it is obvious that this inheritance has not been lost, but there is no development, they only have "art", but they have not been able to explore the "way" after the "art".
And this "Dao" is the study of runes, in fact, the study of runes is also inherited in the cultivation world, but either it is incomplete, or the threshold for practice is too high, except for the inheritance of large sects like the Five Spirits Sect, only a very small number of families in the cultivation world have the inheritance of runes.
Qian Chao is the rune science that Mr. Zhuang systematically learned from Mr. Zhuang, contrary to those families who teach their children, Mr. Zhuang only pays attention to the "Tao" when teaching Qian Chao, and the means he personally teaches to Qian Chao can be said to be few, which has little to do with Mr. Zhuang at that time, but more importantly, Mr. Zhuang understands that as long as Qian Chao masters the "Dao", he can derive endless "techniques" in the future.
Of course, Qian Chao understood Mr. Zhuang's painstaking efforts, so whether it was when Mr. Zhuang was in the past or when Mr. Zhuang was gone, he had been studying the science of runes.
However, this did not affect Qian Chao's curiosity about this Qi Sijing's methods, because in the news collected by Liu Feng, in addition to some ordinary talismans, there was a kind of talisman that Qian Chao was very interested in.
That kind of talisman is called "the same body talisman", this name, it is said to be related to the efficacy of this talisman, it is said that this talisman is divided into a mother talisman and a child talisman, and when a person does it, Qi Sijing will stick a female talisman on his body, and then look for an opportunity to fly out of the sub-talisman and stick it on the opponent's body in the battle, and then the opponent will hit Qi Sijing's body by any means, and the damage caused will be returned to the opponent's body intact, even if the blade pierces Qi Sijing's chest, and the wound on Qi Sijing's body disappears after the blade is drawn. And the other party's body will burst out with blood, and a terrible wound will appear in the same position.
empathy, so this talisman is named "amulet".
Qian Chao was very curious about this "identity talisman" after reading the news collected by Liu Feng, so he was very interested in Qi Sijing, and he should pay close attention to this person when he started in the future, and it was best to get his identity talisman to study.
