Chapter 32: Wild Dogs Fight for Food

"What is a Spirit Pattern Ancient Artifact?" Qi Jingzhi asked softly.

Jiao Yulang immediately came back to his senses and explained respectfully: "To put it simply, it is a rare spiritual material refining, and the spirit pattern is added to the body, and there are all kinds of wonderful utensils. This kind of thing is extremely rare, and there are not many pieces in Daqi, and most of them are old and passed down from generation to generation, so they are called ancient artifacts. ”

"The spirit pattern ancient weapons of the weapon class are either incomparably sharp, or indestructible, or can increase internal qi, or can kill demons and ghosts, in short, they are rare divine weapons in the world, and they have always been regarded as inheritance treasures by wealthy families and famous families, and they are easily unwilling to show them. I don't know where my brother got this piece from? ”

Qi Jingzhi nodded, and then asked, "What you said is rare in this world, not including cultivators, right?" ”

"Of course not. Although the Spirit Pattern Ancient Weapon is powerful, it can only show its majesty in the world. Speaking of which, we have to mention the origin of these things. ”

Seeing that Qi Jingzhi refused to reveal the origin of the treasure knife, Jiao Yulang didn't ask any more questions, and talked eloquently: "Some people say that the spirit pattern ancient artifact was cast by chance by a worldly master craftsman, and the spirit pattern is a gift from heaven. This statement is unreliable when I hear it, and I don't believe it anyway. ”

"Some people also say that these things are actually the waste of the Great Psychic Refiner's refiner. Although it is a waste product, the spirit pattern on it is given by great power, and it is definitely comparable to an extraordinary mortal blade. And because it's just a waste product, it's far from being as good as the legendary spiritual weapon. Let's put it this way, this thing is a treasure for mortals, and it may be rare for a monk to get started, but in the eyes of the real sages and monks, it is a chicken rib. ”

"Psychic powers? Spiritual weapons? Qi Jingzhi heard two new words that he had never heard of.

"Legend has it that spiritual artifacts, like living beings, are also spiritual, and can follow the monks to practice together. The reason why the spirit pattern ancient artifact is not as good as the real spiritual weapon is because there is no spirituality in it, so some people say that some of the top powerful spirit pattern ancient artifacts are actually the corpses of the spiritual weapons. ”

Jiao Yulang's eyes showed a hint of yearning: "I am afraid that the only people who can train dead things into spirituality are those legendary immortals and demons, so they are called great supernatural powers." Oh, these are all hearsay from the younger brother, and I haven't really seen it, so I don't know if it's true or not. ”

As he spoke, the little baby suddenly glanced at Qi Jingzhi's left arm again, and added: "Of course, refining artifacts and creatures is certainly the right way, but it is not without other tricks. Most of the ancient artifacts obtained by famous families will be placed in the ancestral hall and sacrificed together with the ancestors' spiritual seats. ”

Knowing that the little baby meant something, Qi Jingzhi's face was silent, but his heart moved: "I thought that only living beings have spirituality, but I didn't expect that utensils also have ...... There are absolutely no spiritual patterns on the ox ear sharp knife, and it is definitely not an ancient weapon, is it really a mistake, and I sacrificed my spirituality with Chen Er's blood? As for the mirror, it is very consistent with Jiao Yulang's description of the spiritual artifact, but it still needs to be verified......

Qi Jingzhi pressed down on the guess in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hearing you say this, we actually had a misunderstanding before. Haven't had lunch yet, have you? I'll invite you to eat tiger essence meat later. ”

Jiao Yulang's eyes lit up, his eyes drifted to the half of the tiger leg roasting on the fire, and he exclaimed with surprise: "This tiger has become a sperm?" To be able to meet my brother and this senior, it is really the creation of the younger brother! ”

He suddenly thought of something, and asked suspiciously: "Is this tiger spirit the one on the south gang in this county?" It shouldn't be, didn't it say that it had been removed by Dong Mao, the Five Cloud Division? ”

"Huh? You know a lot. But I don't hear your accent like a local. ”

Jiao Yulang said with a smile: "The little brother likes to travel around and explore treasures the most, and he just came to play in this Huaide County a few days ago, and he heard a lot of things from the county town Demon Captain. It just so happened that Nadu Lieutenant was going to send someone to inspect here, after all, although Dong Mao had sent a message that he had killed the tiger spirit, no one saw the corpse. ”

The younger brother thought about it, since Songling County could raise a tiger spirit, maybe there was some natural treasure, so he volunteered to accept the reward. It's a pity that I wandered around Nangang for several days, and I didn't find a single tiger hair, let alone a baby. ”

"Bounty?"

Qi Jingzhi was aroused by this word, he has seen a lot of the bounty list posted by the county government at the gate of the city, and the Demon Suppression Courtyard is also the official office of the Great Qi, which is in the same vein at this point.

According to this line of thought, Jiao Yulang, the little baby, is receiving a reward rather than serving on an errand, which shows that the relationship between Jiao Yulang and the Demon Suppression Academy is not a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Qi Jingzhi's mind turned, and he immediately asked: "Listen to what you mean, there are many strange people in the world with strange arts, although they don't enter the Demon Suppression Courtyard, they can accept the reward?" ”

Jiao Yulang was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately thought that the Qi family elder brother in front of him had been practicing for less than a month, and he was afraid that he didn't know a lot of things.

He immediately shook his spirits and explained carefully: "There are many such things as rewards, there is nothing unusual, as for the rewards, most of them are wild fox Zen who have no heels, and they are working hard for the two jujubes who give alms to the Demon Suppression Academy, even if they put gold on their faces, they only dare to call themselves Jianghu warlocks, which is not a strange person." ”

"If these warlocks dare to pretend to be ghosts, sooner or later they will be approached by the Demon Suppression Academy, and if they are unlucky, even if they don't do evil, they accidentally bump into people in the yamen such as Chiyou Si and Wuyun Inspection Division, or the children of a high-ranking family, maybe they will be killed as demons because of their strange appearance and perverse behavior."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning, he already remembered Dong Mao's domineering style of shouting and killing, if it wasn't for the eyes of everyone that day, and Meng Fuzi and Lu Ao as guarantors, I am afraid it would be extremely difficult to be good.

His heart fluctuated, and he couldn't help but ask softly: "If you don't have a heel, you can be beaten and killed at will without asking?" ”

Jiao Yulang didn't seem to have thought about this problem, he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he raised his head and thought for a moment before replying: "Speaking of which, don't say that the Demon Suppression Academy and the Gaoming Sect look down on the warlocks in the rivers and lakes, and don't recognize them as fellow cultivators, even the warlocks themselves, there are also many who are contemptuous and self-deprecating. ”

"Most charlatans were originally just ordinary people, and by chance, they were taken by something strange and paid the price for some trivial skills. These people don't have the inheritance of the Dao system, they don't know how to practice the exercises, and they can't even count as the left way. It's good if you are chosen by those righteous and peaceful spiritual creatures, but once you encounter a fierce thing that is trying to catch fish, sooner or later you will be eaten by it, and the end will be extremely bleak. ”

Qi Jingzhi was silent, the spirit mask, the bronze mirror and the fried life, and even the ox ear sharp knife with a little supernatural spirit could probably be regarded as strange things. Not to mention that if he had followed Lu Yunzi that day, he Qi Jingzhi would be a veritable warlock in the rivers and lakes, and he would not have lived long.

Secretly suppressing this thought, Qi Jingzhi shook his head: "If it is really as you said, it is not a good thing for ordinary people to be afraid of being selected by spiritual objects, and if they encounter the Demon Suppression Courtyard and the High Name Gate, they are only afraid that they will die faster." ”

Hearing this, Jiao Yulang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he was speechless for a while.

After a while, the little baby cleaned up his mood, nodded and said, "My brother can see it thoroughly!" But then again, the warlocks were discriminated against and suppressed, although they suffered a loss, but they did not necessarily have no mistakes. ”

"Oh? How so? Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Jianghu warlocks have obtained one or two thaumaturgical secret methods, the so-called armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions, but they are all people who have no skills, few are willing to live in peace, a little carelessness may harm others and themselves, and even harm the country's society. Although the Demon Suppression Courtyard will not kill a boatload of people with a single shot, it is certain to beware of suppression. ”

"That is, there are too few real aliens and monks in the Demon Suppression Courtyard, and a lot of dirty work needs someone to do it, so a few bones will be thrown out from time to time. The charlatans received the bounty, but it was just wild dogs competing for food! ”
