Chapter 2 Merit Tasks
Bai Ya originally didn't know much about things like magic weapons, and Liu Yu didn't explain much to him.
However, after getting the hand of the Raccoon Jin, Liu Yu popularized the knowledge of magic weapons for him. Only then did Bai Ya know that the role of magic weapons in martial arts was much more important than he had imagined.
Compared with the martial artists themselves, the magic weapons of weapons and armor are basically invisible in the world, and the Xianwu Sect has a strict control over these things, and they rarely flow into the world.
However, in the world, there are only no magic weapons such as weapons and armor, not that there are no magic weapons. Such as teleporting crystal beads, flywheel treasure ships, flying cars, mustard seed bags......
In a sense, they are all ritual instruments.
Weapons and armor magic weapons are more common in real sect disciples.
Liu Yu counted it bits and pieces, and there were more than a dozen magic weapons. For example: Qinglong halberd, Chiyang fist gloves, Wu Chan repair clothes, demon beads, golden silk clothes, Qiankun brocade bags, floating clouds, flying boats and so on.
He didn't have much, and he heard that those innate powerhouses who often went in and out of the wilderness domain had no less than dozens of magic weapons on their bodies.
After returning to Jianzhi Peak the next day, Bai Ya met Liu Yu again.
"Master, I don't want to live in Jianzhi Peak anymore, do you want to find me a new place?"
"You can find a place at the peak of the Qingdu Temple, and if you find it, you can go to the temple to register, and it is best to be closer to the Ancestor Peak. Liu Yu thought about it and agreed, but only warned Bai Ya not to stay too far, after all, the Jingluo lineage was relatively close to the Lingxi Hall of the Ancestor Peak.
It didn't take much time for Baiya to find a relatively satisfactory and clean courtyard in Baiyun Creek next to Patriarch Peak.
There is a small waterfall on the east side of this courtyard, facing the waterhole below the waterfall and backing the cliff, creating a beautiful and tranquil environment. It originally belonged to a senior brother of the Qingdu Temple, but after he got married decades ago, he and his family moved to the foot of the mountain to live in seclusion, and returned this courtyard to the master.
The courtyard is arranged in the style of a country manor, with a small courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence outside, and the main house at the back. The main house has two entrances, a total of two living rooms and four wings, as well as a large firewood room, a kitchen, a small ancestral hall, and an animal pen.
It took Bai Ya three days to clean the courtyard, and enshrined the tablets of Emperor Zhenwu and Master Zu into the ancestral hall, and finally settled down.
After a few days, Liu Yu re-summoned Baiya.
When Bai Ya came to the Taoist meditation room, he saw a short man standing behind Liu Yu.
The man was dressed in a strong suit, wearing a hat and gloves, and his body was tightly wrapped. A white veil is attached to the hat, so it is difficult to see the face. It's just that judging from her curvaceous figure, it should be a woman.
Liu Yu saw Bai Ya arrive and handed him a cyan robe.
"This is the spare Wuzen cultivation robe for this seat, let's give it to you for cultivation for the time being! When you have extra merit in the future, you will go to the instrument hall to change it out. ”
This cyan robe looks relatively old, and in some places it is even patched, and there is a yin-yang fish Taiji diagram embroidered on the back.
"Master, this seems to be ...... Magic weapons?" Bai Ya was a little surprised, "Armor?"
"No, the Wu Zen Cultivation Robe is a Dharma robe for meditation!" Liu Yu explained calmly, "The inner layer of this Dharma robe is embroidered with runes for concentrating and concentrating qi, which is conducive to meditation and qi refining. ”
Liu Yu glanced at Bai Ya and added with a smile, "Especially for a martial artist with average comprehension like you, the condensing rune can also improve comprehension in disguise......
"Oh!" Bai Ya was speechless and silently took the robe.
"It's coming down with you this time to be a helper for you. Liu Yu pointed to the hat man behind him, handed Bai Ya a bronze medal, and said solemnly, "This is a forbidden spirit card, there are Gu worms trapped in it, and a small amount of essence blood must be fed every month, remember not to lose it!"
"She?" White Cliff glanced at the hat man in surprise.
"Hehe, it's it, you've seen it before. Liu Yu showed a meaningful smile, raised his hand to greet it, "Lift the veil and let Baiya see you!"
When the hat man lifted the veil as he said, Bai Ya's eyes widened involuntarily, "It's ...... Zombies?"
The hat man in front of him was indeed a beautiful woman with a good face, but her expression was blank, her eyes were all white, two sharp fangs were exposed on the side of her cherry mouth, and her bronze complexion was shining with metallic luster, and it turned out to be a copper corpse.
Liu Yu is right, this bronze corpse is still an acquaintance of Bai Ya, and it is one of the main characters in the murder house incident in Xiao Le Town. Shen Ying, the concubine of Xiao Cheng Shenjiang decades ago, was also Jing Nian's mother, and was later made into a bronze corpse by the young Confucian student.
"Master, you don't want me to take it down the mountain, do you?" Bai Ya glanced at the bronze corpse with strange eyes, and muttered, "This is going to be seen through, and I must be hacked to death as a demon." ”
"Don't worry, it's okay. Liu Yu said indifferently, "The forbidden spirit card has the unique symbol of my Qingdu view, and the government and other sects know at a glance that it is the alien protector of Qingcheng, and they will not embarrass you because of this." ”
"Yes...... It's too inconvenient to take it down the mountain, isn't it?Can you just rely on a forbidden spirit card?" Bai Ya asked hesitantly.
"Well, yes, it's been rerefined in the view. Now he has the intelligence of a five- or six-year-old child, and can understand the words of his master. It's just that his vocal cords are broken, and he can't speak. Liu Yu explained with a smile.
"The medicine master gave it a life Gu, and the mother Gu is trapped in the spirit card, as long as you remember to feed the essence blood every month, it will not back. You are not in the state of qi now, and this time you are not going down the mountain to play, and it can protect you with it. ”
Bai Ya sighed, Liu Yu was right, most of the martial artists of the sect went out only after the artistic conception.
The force of this bronze corpse is equivalent to that of an artistic conception martial artist, and with his own command, it is not much different from an artistic conception martial artist.
"Then what should I call it, Shen Ying?" Bai Ya no longer refused, looked at the bronze corpse, and asked curiously.
"It doesn't have any memories of life, you can just give one to it, but it's best not to call it Shen Ying, so as not to insult the person who died. Liu Yu said flatly.
"And ......" Liu Yu took out a small cloth bag from his Qiankun brocade bag as if by magic and handed it to Bai Ya, "Here are some wound medicines, teleportation beads and secular coins, take it and go down the mountain!"
"Master, do you have to do anything after I go down the mountain besides going to Qu's house?" Bai Ya asked cautiously as he remembered Liu Yu's instructions a few days ago.
"Well, in addition to going to Qu's house, there are a few things that you must do before the beginning of autumn next year. Liu Yu nodded and handed a bamboo tube to Bai Ya, "There is a scroll in the bamboo tube, you can read it after you go down the mountain, and the content must not be leaked to others." ”
Bai Ya took the bamboo tube curiously, thought for a while and asked, "Master, after I finish my business, will I go directly to Huashan to meet you, or will I go back to Jianzhi Peak first?"
"You go directly to Chaoyang Peak, the eastern peak of Huashan, as long as you show your identity, the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain has its own Huashan disciples who will take you up the mountain. Liu Yu solemnly instructed, "The next time is very tight, you don't have to make trouble outside, otherwise you will miss the period of Huashan's sword discussion, don't blame others." ”
Bai Ya couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and said in his heart that he was really so disobedient?
Liu Yu picked the time to let him go down the mountain, and prepared a series of tasks for him, so he was afraid that he would cause trouble, and warned him by missing the period of Huashan's sword discussion.
However, Liu Yu found the fate of Baiya this time, and he didn't want to miss Huashan Sword.
Thinking that the time was a little tight, Bai Ya simply went down the mountain early the next morning.
After going down the mountain, Bai Ya first went to Chengdu and met with the two Mengshi Feng Yang and Dong Ming.
Feng Yang had a son a few years ago, and he became the owner of the Zhenwu Dojo again, and now he is more and more energetic, and he has begun to get a fortune. However, Dong Ming's physical condition was not very good, which made him look a little sad.
It's just that Dong Ming doesn't care about it, he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has already looked down on life and death. Every day, I drink wine, play and play, and play chess, and my spirit is not bad.
A few years ago, Bai Ya extorted cultivation resources from Jingluo Zhenren, and originally wanted to exchange Dong Ming for some elixirs similar to Lieyang Zhi.
As a result, I later learned that Dong Ming had missed the treatment period.
At that time, the yin toxin had already spread in the internal organs, which was equivalent to an advanced stage of cancer. If it is remedicated, under the stimulation of yin and yang, although the life span can be extended by a few years, but then it must be kept in bed to recuperate, Dong Ming himself is not happy.
After leaving Chengdu, Bai Ya opened the bamboo tube that Liu Yu gave him and took out a scroll made of silk inside.
The scroll records three sect merit tasks, which are in good order according to the task period.
The first mission is to capture an adulterer named Playboy. This prostitute has been wandering in Yizhou for many years, and he has been wanted by six gates all over the Shu Kingdom.
Recently, the intelligence organization outside Qingcheng got a clue that he would appear in Guanghan City in a month or two. Therefore, Qingcheng regarded the fan boy as a sect trial task.
"The fan boy is just a Qi Realm martial artist, but he has good light skills, and his personality is cautious and cunning......" Bai Ya looked at the mission introduction and scratched his scalp.
This task is a bit of a test for him, and if he wants to catch the fanboy, he probably needs to use his brain. And this task is time-bound and requires it to be completed before the autumnal equinox.
"It's just past the mangs, and until the autumn equinox this year, there are about three and a half months!" Bai Ya thought to himself, "The fan boy is wandering around, after this time, he will definitely not be in Guanghan, it seems that I must leave for Guanghan City immediately." ”
The second mission does not have much to say, except that Baiya is required to rush to Langzhong in Brazil County after the autumn equinox to escort one of the city's members from Liupintong back to Chengdu.
There is a red note at the end of the quest, reminding Bai Ya not to reveal the identity of the sect's martial artists. At the same time, the target person may be intercepted and killed on the way.
The third mission is a bit weird, asking Bai Ya to find out about an item along the way before going to Huashan to discuss swords.
This item is called Xu Xianling, and it is the belongings of a martial arts master six hundred years ago, and it has been rumored to have appeared in Yizhou recently. It's just that Qingcheng's peripheral intelligence spies don't know where they appear in Yizhou, so all the sect disciples who traveled abroad have received this task.
PS: There are also three shifts overnight, not counting tomorrow.
