Chapter 31: The Magic Weapon
With the approach of the Peng Xuan Bao Society, Zhaoyue Island is becoming more and more lively, all parties of traders, buyers, and tourists have rushed to arrive, bustling everywhere, the daily crowd is boiling, and the market is not closed at night, and the treasure pavilion of the Chamber of Commerce of the entire Zhaoyue Island has greatly benefited from it.
Soon in the middle of the month, early in the morning, the waiter shook the golden bell in front of the door of the Yuxian Tower, waited respectfully for a while, and did not see a response, and was hesitating whether to ring the bell again, then saw a small and delicate hornless dragon flying down from the window sill on the top floor, and said with teeth and claws: "Who is coming?" Why the noise? ”
Although the tone is fierce, but due to the size, it seems to be naughty and cute, and the waiter is not the first time to come to the Jade Immortal Pavilion, although he was amazed in his heart that the dignified dragon was willing to be a spirit beast, but his face still did not show a different look, and he said respectfully: "Today's treasure meeting has officially begun, and my pavilion master invited Mr. Xu to participate in tonight's treasure auction." ”
As he spoke, he handed over the gilded invitation with both hands, split the clouds and swam in the air, leaned over his head and took a closer look, and said in an urn voice: "I know, my master is still practicing, and this invitation is handed over to this seat." ”
After saying that, Split Cloud took the invitation in his mouth, and didn't care how the waiter reacted, flicked his tail, and flew up to the pavilion with a swish, coming and going quickly and sensitively, where is there still a trace of weakness?
Climbing into the room from the windowsill, I saw Xu Zhuang sitting on the collapse, in peace, the appearance seemed to be calm and stable, but in fact, the cracked clouds looked at it at a glance, only to feel that the mana on Xu Zhuang's body was surging, and the Dan power was rising, as if a slight movement could shake the lake and sea, and the earth and mountains shook.
"Damn, how can this guy's cultivation enter the realm again, if he goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the fate of being a crotch animal for the rest of my life." Split Cloud put the invitation on the desk, leaned down, and scolded indignantly in his heart, suddenly saw Xu Zhuang suddenly open his eyes, his eyes fell on it, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, almost habitually asking for mercy, and heard Xu Zhuang say lightly: "Take the invitation." ”
Split Cloud breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "Also, no matter how freaky you are, there is no reason to be able to read the mind of this seat." Thinking of this, the mood became strangely happy, and while scolding fiercely in his heart, he obediently took the invitation in his mouth and flew to Xu Zhuang's hand.
How did Xu Zhuang know what was flashing in the eyes of this dragon, and the dignified dragon had the appearance of a thief's eyebrows.
Since Xu Zhuang refined the blood deed gold lock and returned its Jiaozhu, this guy has changed his malaise, and he has not stopped all day long, running to the water feature in the pavilion to 'turn over the river and the sea', not to mention, and often sneaking out of the pavilion.
However, with the restriction of the golden lock, it can't run anywhere, and Xu Zhuang is too lazy to take care of it, so he takes the invitation and unveils it to read.
The invitation was written by Zhang Ji, and it also contained a brief letter, saying that today's treasure meeting has officially begun, and there will be the first treasure auction at night.
It stands to reason that this kind of treasure auction for several consecutive days is naturally the first and last day, and the most treasures are gathered, even if Peng Xuanbao will inevitably be vulgar, so Zhang Jixin said that Fairy Shi will appear today, and he still has affairs to manage, please Xu Zhuang will go to the treasure meeting venue in the evening, and he will come over in person to introduce the two of them.
It's finally time. Xu Zhuang put away the invitation and closed his eyes again, not to focus on cultivation again, but to enter the realm of tranquility.
Since experiencing a 'true view', Xu Zhuang's cultivation has begun to advance by leaps and bounds, and if he can maintain this momentum of cultivation, it is very possible for Xu Zhuang to consciously refine the realm of 'gold mercury'.
The so-called 'gold mercury' is also a common name, which refers to what is commonly known as Jindan Dacheng.
At this realm, the monk's golden pill has been completed, and it can be said that he has entered a realm that violates the theory of practicing 'sailing against the current', even if the cultivation is not advanced, it will not be lost, and the Dan power is no longer worried, and the cultivation is damaged, the so-called 'solid gold mercury', this is the case.
Jindan cultivation is so simple, there are not many boundaries, only the difference between success and failure.
However, no matter how rapid it progresses, Jindan Dacheng is not something that can be achieved in less than ten days of cultivation, not to mention that during this period, Xu Zhuang also took the time to go to the Zhang Ji Banquet and refined the blood pact golden lock for Jiaolong Split Cloud.
Xu Zhuang didn't feel a pity, now is not a very suitable time to practice, to solve the immediate difficulties, in the future, his own water will come to fruition, calm just for pranayama, ready to wait.
Although Xu Zhuang looked for Zhang Ji to introduce the 'Shi Fairy' to ask for something, after all, that person was a person in the Demon Dao, so Xu Zhuang naturally would not be careless.
What's more, there is always a doubt in Xu Zhuang's heart. That is the name of 'Shi Fairy', and there may be a possibility of confronting an enemy that Xu Zhuang thinks. Therefore, it is unknown whether the trip will be successful, or even whether conflict may erupt.
As Xu Zhuang was calm, his spirit and spirit climbed to a peak, and soon the moon rose and sunset, entering the night.
Split Cloud was lying bored on the desk, half dozing, when he suddenly heard Xu Zhuang's voice say, "Split Cloud! It was excited, and hurriedly turned over and responded, "The little animal is here." I saw that Xu Zhuang had already gotten up and looked at him at some point, his eyes were shining.
Xu Zhuang made a move, the split cloud immediately flew into the sleeve to hide, Xu Zhuang strode the meteor, in the blink of an eye, he went out of the pavilion, between walking, the road suddenly shortened, like a wind blowing through the forest, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
——
Every month, there is a strange scene in the lake in the center of the island of Zhaoyue Island, whether it is the lights on the shore, or the starry river full of sky, all of them do not shine in the water, but only the moonlight intertwined with white and purple, the whole lake is unique, the lake water is reflected in the flowing moonlight, the flower boat painting boat drives in it, as if the cruise ship is on the moon, it is very dreamy.
However, today, the lake in the center of the island is the place where the Pengxuan Treasure will be held, whether it is a flower boat cruise, or a foreign boat, it is not allowed to sail into the lake, only the Pengxuan Pavilion to attract the guests of the painting boat, flowing through the moonlight occasionally come and go.
Xu Zhuang came to the agreed place by the lake, and the attendants beside Zhang Ji were already waiting here, and when he saw Xu Zhuang appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Xu, you are here, the pavilion master has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang was surprised, "Quickly lead me to see Brother Zhang." ”
The waiter said, "Please come with me." He led Xu Zhuang to walk along the lake, and after a few years, when he reached a place where there was no one around, a mediocre painting boat had been moored here, and the waiter stopped and bowed and said: "The pavilion master is in the boat, please." ”
Xu Zhuang bowed slightly, crossed the waiter and boarded the painting boat alone, and through the beaded curtain, he could already see Zhang Ji leaning on the windowsill alone and pouring himself a drink.
Xu Zhuang smiled slightly, lifted the bead curtain, strode out of the room, and teased: "Brother Zhang, why can't you wait for me, so he drinks himself?" ”
Zhang Ji turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are finally here, but you can make me wait for a while, so I have to drink a cup first to eliminate the loneliness." ”
Zhang Ji left the windowsill, sat down at the low table in the room with Xu Zhuang, poured a cup of jade liquid for Xu Zhuang, and the two raised their glasses to each other and smiled, and drank it all.
Xu Zhuang put down his wine glass and asked, "Brother Zhang has been busy these days, and today the treasure meeting is open, why do you have time to come over in person." ”
Zhang Ji said: "I have already arranged all the affairs, if I have to ask again and again, it will be too tiring......
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly heard the tinkling of the bead curtain, the two stopped talking at the same time, looked out, and saw a figure open the bead curtain, and walked into the room.
Zhang Ji said happily: "Fairy Shi, you are here!" ”
It turns out that this person is 'Shi Fairy'.
In front of Fairy Shi, Zhang Ji seemed to have lost his usual generosity, and got up tightly to lead her to sit down.
Fairy Shi smiled slightly, and responded: "Zhang Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time." Then he graciously walked to the table and sat down.
Zhang Jile couldn't help but say: "Long time no see, long time no see......" Seeing Miss Shi sitting down, he said: "The treasure meeting is about to start, since the two of you have arrived, it will be time for people to sail here." ”
Having said that, he didn't see any movement from Zhang Ji, so he sat back at the table, picked up the wine jug, poured jade liquid for Xu Zhuang and Fairy Shi, and was hesitating how to introduce the two of them, when he suddenly saw Fairy Shi's eyes naturally fall on Xu Zhuang, and said, "Young Master Xu...... Long time no see. ”
Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and responded, "Miss Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Ji said suspiciously, "The two of you...... Could it be that there is already a relationship? ”
Xu Zhuang smiled and said: "Friendship, it shouldn't be called, if you say that there is a grudge." ”
"This?" Zhang Ji didn't expect that the scene suddenly developed as he imagined.
Fairy Shi chuckled and said, "Gongzi Xu doesn't seem to be very kind to the slave family? ”
Xu Zhuang said lightly: "Could it be Xu, you should also smile at the enemy who kills you?" ”
Seeing the two of them, he said that there was a grudge, but he didn't suddenly get tense, Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, pinched the wine glass and drank it. Hearing this, he almost shook out, and hurriedly said, "How can this be? Is it a misunderstanding? ”
"Really?" Xu Zhuang said: "Xu also expects that it was a misunderstanding, does the girl have an explanation?" ”
Fairy Shi sighed sadly: "It was the slave family who acted unwisely and risked Xu Gongzi's life, and Gongzi should hold a grudge." Now that Gongzi Dan has become a top-notch person, if he wants to seek revenge, I am afraid that the slave family has only the choice of killing him. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "Fairy Shi is serious, what misunderstanding do the two have?" It's better for the two of them to talk about it, if they can take this opportunity to laugh at the enmity, wouldn't it be a happy thing? He didn't forget to hand the two of them a drink.
"Daoyou laughed." Fairy Shi said, "The revenge of killing, how dare you say a few words, and beg for forgiveness." ”
"This ......!" Hearing this, Zhang Ji was in a hurry, and turned to Xu Zhuang again, but the words reached his throat a few times, but he couldn't say it.
Yes, if it is really a murderous revenge, how can he have any face, be a middleman to reconcile, but the two of them are his friends, how can he bear the two of them to meet each other, for a while, he can't help but regret introducing the two.
Xu Zhuang saw Zhang Ji's expression, his brows also frowned slightly, although he had a little premonition, but in the end, he was still embarrassed, after all, he and Zhang Ji did have a lot of friendship, since he lived in Pengxuan Pavilion, Zhang Ji was also a good hospitality, and he tried his best to introduce friends to him.
Xu Zhuang pondered for a while, and asked indifferently: "Before the girl came here, she should have known that the person who found the girl was Xu, right?" ”
Fairy Shi said calmly: "Not bad." ”
Xu Zhuang sneered: "Oh! That girl still came to see Xu, didn't she deliberately provoke? ”
"That's not what the slave family meant." Shi Xianzi said unhurriedly: "In fact, the slave family also feels very remorse for the unwise actions of the past, I heard Zhang Daoyou say that the son is looking for the slave family, there is something to ask for, so I think if I can help the son solve his worries, or can I take this opportunity to reconcile with the son?" ”
"So good! So much better! Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "Brother Xu......?" ”
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said: "Okay, since the girl has this intention, I don't want to embarrass Brother Zhang, if the girl can relieve Xu's worries, the past can be put aside." ”
Zhang Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his glass to pay tribute to Xu Zhuang, but Xu Zhuang just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this situation, Fairy Shi showed an inexplicable smile in his eyes, suddenly raised his onion fingers, removed the veil, and revealed his face, his cheeks were condensed with new li, his nose was greasy and goose fat, he was not decorated with any gold and jade ornaments, nor did he apply a little bit of powder, it seemed that the water came out of the hibiscus, and the dew camellia was beautiful, clear and beautiful...... It's just that there is no trace of the appearance of a demon demon girl!
Xu Zhuang also saw the appearance of this demon girl for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but it was fleeting.
The red face is a skeleton, the pink delicacy is also white bones, and then it is a beauty like a fairy, which is no different from Xu Zhuang.
Removing the veil, Fairy Shi picked up the wine glass with both hands, and Xu Zhuang lifted the jade liquid.
Zhang Ji was already overjoyed, and drank the jade liquid in one gulp, Fairy Shi raised his glass and took a sip of his sleeves, and Xu Zhuang drank all the wine in the cup. After the three of them fell into the cup, Fairy Shi said softly: "If you can get the son's forgiveness, the slave family is overjoyed, I don't know what the son is worried about?" If the slave family can really help, they will do their best. ”
Xu Zhuang said lightly: "It's not a secret, Xu is disturbed by the demons outside the world at the moment, and he has threatened his cultivation, so he wants to use the help of Miss Shi to get rid of this disturbance." ”
Hearing this, both of them were a little surprised, and Fairy Shi was surprised: "Your sect is a great sect, Taoist orthodoxy, and the best at exorcism and evil spirits. Please elaborate, otherwise I don't know if I can help Childe. ”
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, and still explained the details of how he was haunted by the 'Great Freedom Xuanjun Six Wonderful Jade Turbid Heavenly Son', omitting the cause and effect, and the true name of the Heavenly Demon was detailed.
Fairy Shi showed a clear look and said: "I see, the number of heavenly demons is endless, the number is endless, but most of them are confused, and those who only know how to fight and kill, and awaken their true names are already rare." If, as Childe said, a person with an inexplicable honorific title must be a terrifying and powerful demon who kills and devours countless living beings, comparing himself to the demon lord in the sky. This kind of 'true demon' is weird and cunning, and the magic is boundless, even if the original god is really encountered, he must be cautious. ”
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang said, "That girl has a way to deal with it." ”
"Naturally, there is." Fairy Shi showed a shallow smile, and did not make a fool of himself, and suddenly a jade pendant with a missing corner appeared in his hand, which was transparent and white, and there was a statue of three heads and six arms carved on it.
This woman seemed to be really dedicated to helping, so she didn't talk about it, and handed the jade pendant directly into Xu Zhuang's hands, and said with a smile: "This treasure, should it be able to relieve the son's worries?" ”
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang naturally wouldn't believe what this woman said, Yu Pei took it in his hand, cautiously probed a little, and suddenly his eyes were shocked, "This is...... Magic weapon?! ”
