Chapter 10: The Town
Zhou Yuru said to Liu Zifeng like this, but she didn't realize that the sky had darkened. Although Liu Zifeng had Zhou Lao teach him the method of cultivating the Ghost Spirit Sutra, he knew very little about the secrets of these large and small sects outside the village, and he was fascinated by it for a while. It wasn't until a "squeak" came that Liu Zifeng looked down.
I saw the strange rat, who had found a few fruits out of nowhere, was chewing them with taste, and at the same time screaming at the willow wind, as if complaining that he did not give himself anything to eat.
Zhou Yuru suddenly shouted "ah" when she saw the strange mouse, patted her head and looked out the window, and said with annoyance: "I have forgotten the time, come back with me, grandpa is afraid that he is already in a hurry." ”
She hurriedly got up, urging Liu Zifeng to move faster. The strange rat seemed to want to follow, but was glared at by Liu Zifeng and said, "You just stay in the house, and I'll bring you some food." ”
The strange mouse thought for a moment, then nodded his head and "squeaked" in agreement.
That night, Liu Zifeng had dinner at the village chief's house. The village chief waited for a long time before the two of them came back, and then asked Zhou Yuru what was going on. Zhou Yuru only said that he was going to tell Liu Zifeng about the Luoxia Sect and the basic method, and there was nothing else to do.
After dinner, Liu Zifeng got up and said goodbye. The village chief couldn't keep it, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he learned that Liu Zifeng had a pet. But then he asked Zhou Yuru to make some food and let Liu Zifeng take it back.
Zhou Yuru handed him a cloth bag and told him to study the basic method of "Jiuxia Xuanjing" before Liu Zifeng left.
......
Back in the room, Liu Zifeng lit the oil lamp and found that the little thing had fallen asleep. By the dim light, he took a closer look at the strange rat for the first time.
The strange rat was a few inches in size at this time, and its hair was black and shiny, shining like satin. There are some golden yellow hairs on the tips of the ears, and a tail is curled, and the black and gold hairs on it are interlaced, like golden rings one after another.
Liu Zifeng was looking at the little guy, but saw that its pink nose moved, and it seemed to smell something. Then I saw it open a pair of eyes the size of mung beans, and looked directly at the cloth bag in Liu Zifeng's hand, which was the meal brought back from the village chief's house.
Suddenly, the strange mouse's eyes seemed to glow, and the corners of his mouth drooled. Seeing this, Liu Zifeng felt a chill, put the food in his hand on the table beside him, and in an instant, the strange mouse slipped up in smoke, and his paws kept pulling up.
I have to say that this little guy didn't know if he was hungry or what, he was eating and munching like a whirlwind, and his little body was more like a bottomless pit, and after a while, he swept away the food that was enough for Liu Zifeng to eat for a day. Then, he patted his belly with a look of satisfaction.
Liu Zifeng knew that the amount of food for this little thing should not be underestimated, but he was still taken aback, and he became even more curious about the origin of this strange mouse.
After cleaning up, Liu Zifeng was about to cultivate, but the strange rat had jumped off the table and ran to the corner at some point. Then, the sound of "clanging" was heard.
I saw the strange rat with its tail hooked, pulling a small pot-like thing, and running towards him. The small pot was dragged all the way by it, and there was a "clanging" sound with the ground.
When Liu Zifeng saw the small pot, he remembered that in the underground cave, in addition to the ancient scroll called "Earth Ghost Technique", there was also such a mysterious small pot that he didn't know what to do. It's just that he didn't take a good look at the crisis at that time. At this time, seeing the strange rat dragging the small pot over, he picked up the small pot with one hand and looked at it carefully.
In addition to the cultivation of the Dharma in this world, there are also Dharma weapons and Dharma weapons. The power of these utensils is large and small, and the uses are also thousands of kinds, containing the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods. In the past, Zhou Lao told him about the common sense of some magic weapons and magic weapons, which can be driven by cultivators, and the power depends on the cultivator's Taoism and the type of magic weapon. In the final analysis, magic weapons and magic weapons are actually similar, on the land of Kyushu, the human race pays more attention to this aspect, calling it magic weapons, and outside Kyushu such as wild and other remote places, refining techniques are much rougher than in Kyushu, and they are mostly called magic weapons.
But even so, there are still very few magic weapons. Outside of Kyushu, there are more unknown places, and the magic weapons refined by foreign clans with unknown powers, although they are not as powerful as magic weapons, but the power contained is extremely strange, and they are more than magic weapons.
Liu Zifeng carefully looked at the small pot in his hand, this thing did not seem to belong to the Central Plains. Most of the magic weapons refined by the human race are swords, guns, swords, halberds, pagoda beads, etc. Moreover, this small pot is covered with patterns, which is obviously the usual method used by foreigners when refining weapons. Many magic weapons on Kyushu are all magic arrays refined within the magic weapons, and few of them reveal the array text. After all, these magic circles contain power, and they are the core of the magic weapon, how can such secrets be easily revealed.
But this is not the case with foreign peoples, who have a wide variety of written languages alone, a sparse population, and a long distance between ethnic groups. It is difficult for ordinary people to decipher the meaning of the runes on these magic weapons, and how dare they rashly depict and cast spells.
Liu Zifeng looked at it for a moment, but he didn't see what it was. Suddenly I remembered the words on the mysterious pillar in a different place, which he had carved in blood on the forearm of his left hand. But after thinking about it, I gave up the thought in my head. These strange patterns are carved on the artifact, indicating that the artifact is capable of withstanding this power. If it is portrayed on the body, if something goes wrong, it is a big wrong.
The small black-brown pot lay quietly in Liu Zifeng's hand, without a trace of luster.
He turned the little pot over, and there was a lid on it. Liu Zifeng lifted the lid and looked inside.
It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. He took the small pot and approached the oil lamp, and his face was even more strange.
The strange little pot seemed to swallow up even the bright light, and the black hole was empty, and there was not even a shadow on the ground.
Liu Zifeng was surprised, grabbed another stone under his feet and threw it into the pot. He saw that the stone disappeared after being thrown into it, and he listened to it with his ear to the small pot for a long time, but no sound came out. When I got up and looked, I don't know when the little thing also ran over, pouting its ass and tail into the small pot.
Liu Zifeng was curious, and watched as the strange rat's tail actually grew a little longer, extending towards the pot. But at this moment, he didn't stop it, but also wanted to see what was strange about this little pot.
After another moment, Liu Zifeng became a little anxious in his heart. Looking at the strange rat again, I don't know how long the tail sticks out, and it squeaks, and its pouting body is dragged to see that it is about to fall into the strange little pot.
Liu Zifeng's complexion changed greatly, and he quickly grabbed the body of the strange mouse and grabbed it out.
When it came out, the tail of the strange rat had changed to its normal length, but the base of the tail was bare, as if it had been pulled by something and a lot of hair had been pulled down. I saw it squeak and scream, angrily opening its teeth and claws. But he was even more afraid of the small pot, far away, and did not dare to get closer half a step.
Seeing this, Liu Zifeng turned his head and touched the hair on the strange mouse to appease it. Then he turned around and put the little pot away, and he didn't know what strange thing it was, and he didn't know what it did. I can't see the slightest bit of fame at the moment, so I have to put it away first and make plans for the future.
Thinking like this, he put away the small pot, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out the foundation of the "Nine Xias Xuanjing" given to him by Zhou Yuru in the evening from his arms, and quietly flipped through it.
The basic mental method of the "Nine Summers Sutra" is extremely simple, but Zhou Yuru didn't know that he had the "Ghost Spirit Sutra" cultivation method taught by Zhou Lao, so he let him practice. At this time, he saw that the mental method was almost the same as the previous mental method of the "Ghost Spirit Sutra", but he didn't feel anything.
Closing the booklet in his hand, he closed his eyes, a blue-black halo appeared on his body, and he breathed quietly.
Two days later, Liu Zifeng woke up from his cultivation. When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already three poles old, and it was close to noon. Footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a pleasant female voice: "Brother Zifeng, why don't you open the door quickly when my sister comes?"
Liu Zifeng turned over and got out of bed, opened the door, and the woman standing outside the door was Zhou Yuru.
Today, she was dressed in a light white robe, with a long sword still hanging diagonally from her waist, her hair in a bun and combed back of her head, looking at him with a smile.
"How's it going? Have you read a good book in the past two days?"
Hearing this, Liu Zifeng nodded. He was already familiar with those basic methods, and he didn't need to study them more carefully.
Zhou Yuru smiled even more when she heard this, took a step forward and pulled his arm, and said, "Let's go, grandpa wants you to come back for dinner today." Then, you will follow to the Luoxia Sect. ”
Liu Zifeng's face did not change, and he answered. In the past two days, Zhou Yuru came once and told him that she was going to take Liu Zifeng to Luoxia Sect. Now that he is alone, he must wander around trying to find out the cause of many things. Go to Luoxia Sect first, having an acquaintance like Zhou Yuru is not the best choice at the moment. So he didn't think much about it, so he agreed.
At the village chief's house, because Zhou Yuru and Liu Zifeng were leaving, the meal was much richer than usual. After Liu Zifeng had eaten, he went back to the house to pack some luggage and put the small pot into the package. looked at the strange rat, and wanted to put it in the package together, but now the strange rat saw that the small pot was like a plague, and it came out in two clicks. In desperation, I had to put the small things that had become smaller in the placket of my underwear.
Liu Zifeng and Zhou Yuru met at the entrance of the village, and Zhou Yuru looked at him and nodded with a smile. Liu Zifeng turned to say goodbye to the village chief, and with the village chief waving his hand with a smile, the two set off.
Out of the village, head northwest. Liu Zifeng is more familiar with this area, he used to play with his companions in the village, and he ran around a lot.
The road is also smooth, and the Wuding River flows quietly. It was the early winter season, and the high and low peaks were all bare, and he did not encounter any fierce tigers and beasts, which made him secretly strange.
Zhou Yuru seemed to see his doubts, and told him that where there was a village nearby, the fierce beasts within a radius of ten miles had already been killed by the disciples of the Luoxia Sect, so as not to attack the surrounding villages.
Liu Zifeng nodded, and said in his heart: This Luoxia Sect is so good to the surrounding villagers, no wonder it is very famous.
After walking for about three or four hours, a bustling town appeared not far in front of the two of them. From a distance, it is much better than the houses in Wuding Village, and you can occasionally see streamers in the air, and bursts of shouting and selling are faintly heard.
"Let's go, this is 'Luoxia Town'. ”
Zhou Yuru couldn't help but chuckle when she saw him looking at those Dao lights in the air in a daze, and said, "What are you in a daze? If it weren't for you, my sister would have rushed back to the sect with the sword." It's just that my sister's cultivation is still shallow, and she can't take you to fly yet. As long as you work hard, sooner or later you will fly into the sky like those people. ”
Liu Zifeng subconsciously clenched his fists, and he didn't know what determination he had made in his heart, and walked forward.
Beside him, Zhou Yuru looked at the young man's figure, smiled slightly, and quickly followed.
