In the sword-casting room, Ji Beichen introduced to Yan Yueli in detail the specific uses of the four magic weapons at hand when the city defense array was opened: "These four magic weapons are used when the spirit attraction array is opened, and they are the outermost magic array. They were forged by the swordsmiths of Juhe Sword Village, and they were all above the second grade, close to the first grade. ”

Yan Yueli listened with more interest to Ji Beichen introducing the spirit sword in front of her, she remembered the last time she came to the sword casting room to "peep" at Ji Beichen, at that time Ji Beichen was also casting the spirit sword, in addition to Zhao Baier's natal sword, there was also a spirit sword with an extremely complicated process.

Curious about the situation of the spirit sword, Yan Yueli asked casually, "Where is the spirit sword that Ah Chen forged with his own hands last time, and has it succeeded?" ”

Hearing Yan Yueli ask about the other spirit sword he forged, Ji Beichen took Yan Yueli's hand and walked inside, saying as he walked: "That spirit sword is still one step away, which is why I want to come to the sword casting room today!" ”

Ji Beichen took Yan Yueli to the condensation room next to the sword-casting room, pointed to the inconspicuous dark iron sword hanging by the wall, and introduced: "It's that sword!" ”

Ji Beichen is now a cultivator in the exorcism period, he used his dantian true qi, took down the spirit sword on the wall, held it in his hand, and continued:

"This spirit sword is the Gathering Spirit Array's Pressing Spirit Sword. The magic weapons used in the Spirit Gathering Array are different from those used in the Spirit Attracting Array, and the pressure on the Spirit Sword requires a unique 'quenching' method.

Huang Gongzi and I had studied my father's manuscript before, and at that time, the manuscript was incomplete and put it on hold for the time being, and today is the best time to complete this Suppressing Array Spirit Sword! ”

Yan Yueli heard Ji Beichen talk about the Cangzhou City Defending Array before, and she was very looking forward to it, and when she heard that Ji Beichen was going to complete this spirit sword today, her heart was full of joy, and she said happily: "Ah Chen is saying that Uncle has already completed the missing part!" ”

Seeing his introduction, Ji Beichen aroused Yan Yueli's interest, raised his hand and tapped Yan Yueli's pretty face and said with a smile: "It's not so much a completion, but I thought of another way to make up for the lack of aura in this Suppressing Array Spirit Sword!" ”

Ji Beichen spoke, and there was an extra jade bone flute in his hand, which was clear and flawless, lying quietly between Ji Beichen's palms, leisurely exuding aura. Probably because the material of the jade bone flute is the same as the sky-covering jade lock, which is made of the heaven-covering jade.

When the jade bone flute appeared, the sky-covering jade locks worn on the chests of the two of them all became warm. The changes at the same time, the same feelings, made the two of them look at each other and smile.

Yan Yueli felt the aura of the jade bone flute for the first time, which made the usually Qianmo's sky-covering jade lock respond, she curiously stretched out her fingers, her fingertips stroked the body of the jade bone flute, and said in surprise: "Is this the Zhao family's jade bone flute, although it can't be compared to the artifact of the dragon slaying sword, but it is also a thing inherited from the upper realm!" ”

The way of "completion" that Ji Beichen thought of was to use the spiritual power of the jade bone flute. The method he came up with was to completely seal all the spiritual power contained in the jade bone flute in the body of this Suppressing Array Spirit Sword, so as to ensure that when the Spirit Gathering Array was opened, the spiritual energy could be fully supplied to the other magic circles of the Great Array of Defending the City.

Ji Beichen was about to play a tune for Yan Yueli with the jade bone flute, when a cheerful man's voice came from the door of the sword-casting room at an inopportune time:

"Little master, this jade bone flute is a rare good thing, how good it is for you to stay by your side as a magic weapon, why seal it in this Pressing Array Spirit Sword. Moreover, this spirit sword is the ancestor of the Zhao family, the Zhao family and the Wuji Immortal Venerable......"

Ji Beichen followed the voice and looked out of the door, and saw the familiar goose-yellow brocade robe, and sure enough, as he expected, the person who came was Huang Bailong among the five dragons. Ji Beichen shook his head helplessly at this incomprehensible disturber and said:

"Don't worry about these Huang Gongzi, I have already asked the opinion of the Zhao family master, the Zhao family master means that the jade bone flute should be owned by the Zhao family patriarch, and this is also the meaning of the Taishi ancestor!"

Huang Bailong heard Ji Beichen's words, he still didn't give up, he gently shook the folding fan in his hand, ready to continue to persuade the little master: "Little master, I think it's ......."

Ji Beichen seemed to know what Huang Bailong was going to say, and without waiting for him to get into the topic, he waved his hand to interrupt Huang Bailong's words:

"If Huang Gongzi wants to say 'that' way, then stop here! My father told me last night, and I categorically wouldn't agree.

I forged this spirit sword to save people, if Huang Gongzi was needed to sacrifice the sword from the beginning, then how could I talk about saving the common people. However, there is really one thing in the next place, which needs Huang Gongzi's help, and this matter must be Huang Gongzi! ”

Huang Bailong's original plan was to use his own body cultivation as a sacrificial sword, so since Ji Beichen left the sword test conference, he couldn't go out of retreat in the Tuling Cave, and practiced diligently all day long, so that he had a cultivation in the infancy stage. Coupled with the fact that he asked the tourmaline dragon for the Body Breaking Pill, broke his own shackles in the shortest time, and opened the edge of the realm, he is now a five-fold cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage.

Although Huang Bailong's cultivation of his own body as a sacrificial sword did not come to pass, as soon as he heard that the little master was going to hand over to him something that was indispensable to him, Huang Bailong's mood suddenly improved. He hurriedly put away the folding fan in his hand, leaned over towards Ji Beichen, and asked eagerly, "Little master, what are you sending me to do?" ”

Ji Beichen saw Huang Bailong's appearance of being lost for a while and surprised for a while, the corners of his mouth rose, and he chuckled: "The Spirit Gathering Array in the Great Array of Defending the City is different from other magic arrays, it needs to condense the aura of the formation eye and continuously transport the spiritual energy to the array eyes all over Cangzhou, so I chose the Lingxi Cave as the eye of the Spirit Gathering Array.

When the Spirit Gathering Array is opened, the Spirit Gathering Array will use the aura of the jade bone flute as a guide to drive the dragon vein qi of the Lingxi Cave and transmit the aura to the large array.

In addition to being proficient in earth attribute exercises, this person also needs to understand the relationship between the various hidden formations in the large array, so I want Huang Gongzi to be the controller of the spirit sword. And the Suppression Array Spirit Sword will also open the sword soul with the blood of Huang Gongzi's fingertips! ”

After listening to the task assigned to him by Ji Beichen, Huang Bailong pondered for a long time, and after careful consideration, he nodded and agreed. Yan Yueli knew that Ji Beichen was going to complete the final "quenching" process of the Suppressing Spirit Sword with Huang Bailong, so she went back to the Gathering Sword Village first.

Ji Beichen and Huang Bailong didn't say anything more, and the two re-entered the condensation room. According to the previous "quenching" process, Ji Beichen skillfully pinched a formation trick and opened the condensation array in the condensation room.

After the Qi Condensation Array was opened, Ji Beichen felt the five elements of the dragon vein, and it gathered towards the eye of the array in an instant. When the spiritual energy filled the entire magic array, while holding the spiritual sword, he quickly stabilized the true qi in his dantian, and walked towards the condensing qi array step by step.

As soon as he stepped into the magic circle, Ji Beichen felt that the true qi in his body exploded, and the realm of the exorcism period was almost improving. Knowing that his dantian had not yet fully recovered, and that this was the critical period of quenching, he hurriedly forcibly suppressed his cultivation and took a few quick steps to place the spirit sword on top of the array.

Ji Beichen thought about the formation in his mouth, urging the magic circle, so that the aura in the array was full and wrapped around the sword body. After that, Ji Beichen threw the jade bone flute hanging from his waist into the Qi Condensation Array Eye, and pinched a complex formation trick and handed it to the Array Eye.

As the array technique melted into the array eye, the aura in the array instantly drilled into the body of the spirit sword, and at the same time, the aura in the jade bone flute also poured into the spirit sword, and as the aura dissipated, the jade bone flute gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared into the sky above the condensing qi array eye. Half an hour later, the quenching of this Suppression Spirit Sword was finally completed, and Huang Bailong used the blood of his fingertips as a guide to open the sword soul for this Suppressing Array Spirit Sword.

Since then, the five spirit swords needed to defend the city have been cast, and the different magic arrays and hidden formations scattered all over Cangzhou City have also been arranged before Wuji Immortal Venerable went to Beijing, and Ji Beichen's hanging heart has finally been put down.

The first snow of the year fell on the morning of the winter solstice. The winter solstice, commonly known as the "Winter Festival", "Long Solstice Festival", "Ya Sui", etc., is regarded as a festival of reunion in winter.

The roots of the Demon Sect are in the north, and there has been a custom of "not serving dumpling bowls on the winter solstice, and no one cares about freezing your ears" in Beiyou since ancient times, plus there are many homeless disciples in Yan Yue Sect, so early in the morning of the winter solstice every year, the practice of Yan Yue Sect is that all the disciples gather together and eat a bowl of dumplings.

The winter solstice customs of Dongcang are different from those of Beiyou, and Cangzhou people have to eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls on the day of the winter solstice, so as to place a good wish for fulfillment and reunion. And the Xiliang winter solstice is to eat mutton soup. Qiongzhou is an elegant place, in addition to eating some hot food, the most prestigious is the hearth support.

Whether it's dumplings, glutinous rice balls, or mutton. These hot customs in the winter solstice, although each taste is a different experience, every bite is the same expectation. The winter solstice is as big as the year, no matter where people are in the north and south, the heart of reunion is always the same.

The snow was heavy, and a red plum tree in the courtyard stood proudly in the wind and snow. In the tea room, everyone sat together, and it was not pleasant to snow heavily, around the hearth, make tea, and taste tea.

The people who loved one in front of him gathered happily, and Ji Yijun was full of poetry, proposing: "Today's winter solstice, it is rare to get together, why don't you mention a poem!" ”

Mu Ci chuckled and said, "Since it was proposed by the husband, let the husband start a poem!" ”

Ji Yijun did not shirk either, and said: "The snowflakes are flying all over the ground with rain, and there is a glass of wine on the long night of the winter solstice." Madame please! ”

Mu Ci is a good writer, but she doesn't want to suppress her husband, so she writes a poem at will: "A cup of hot tea drives away the cold, and a handful of falling snow respects Chunhua." Chen'er, you come! ”

Ji Beichen was also confident, and said without thinking: "The winter solstice is in an orderly manner at four o'clock, and the riverbank is waiting for spring to come." Li'er, looking forward to your good sentence! ”

Yan Yueli didn't expect it to be her turn so soon, she glanced at Ji Beichen affectionately, and said shyly: "The passing year is safe and sound, and I wish you good health on the winter solstice." ”

King Kong Long, who was sitting next to Yan Yueli, took a cup of tea in his hand at this time, and muttered: "I don't feel that the end of the year is coming, I just wish that the dust is a good winter." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought that the black green dragon next to him was not good at writing poetry, so he deliberately skipped Xiaoqing's position, looked at Li Kuisheng, the owner of Li Zhuang opposite, and signaled that it was his turn to compose poetry.

Li Kuisheng was embarrassed to look at King Kong Long's eager gaze, and his heart was panicked, he was a rough man who couldn't compose poetry, so he could only take over the conversation at this time: "I want to think about it!" ”

It's just that Li Kuisheng doesn't have a belly with a little ink, and he didn't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a long time, he misses his third brother Jing Wuwei who is far away in the Canglan Sea at this time, and he can always help him out of the siege at this time.

Just as Li Kuisheng's rough face was flushed, a calm male voice passed through the courtyard and penetrated into the tea room: "The cold is in the middle of the winter solstice, and the fireplace is reunited." Listen to the snow around the fireplace and talk about the wind and the moon. ”

"It's the third brother!" "Uncle Jing is back!" "Senior Jing!"

When this voice came, the tearoom suddenly became jubilant, and everyone hurriedly got up from the warm couch and looked towards the door of the tearoom. In the snowy courtyard, a pair of beautiful people standing under the red plum tree are the chivalrous Jing Wuwei and the sect leader of the Haikuo Sect!
