There is a Duobaofang in Meicheng West City, which is not a general item used for daily food and clothing, but a sword and talisman used by cultivators. When cultivation is prevalent today, the monks who walk around in this world are also like countless carp crossing the river. Therefore, there is naturally a huge demand for the things that the monks use on a daily basis. In larger cities, there are often workshops that sell spirit swords, talismans, array flags and other items. Occasionally, you can still see one or two magic weapons in these workshops, but basically they are bought in an instant, after all, as a cultivator, there is a powerful magic weapon to protect the body, and it can be said that the strength can be improved by a few grades in an instant.

At this moment, there are also people coming and going in this treasure shop. In the corner of the shop, Ling Shengxue, who was dressed in black, was pointing to the goods on the counter and said to the shopkeeper: "There are forty spirit crystals of this kind, five five-element array flags each, and two four-elephant array plates. The shopkeeper answered, turned around and went to prepare the goods.

Ling Shengxue had arranged the formation several times in the battle in the previous two days, and the strengthened version of the small Fengyuan array in Sanhuai Village had not been withdrawn in order to protect the villagers, so the materials in Qiankun's bag were a little nervous, so she hurried here to supplement some.

It took some time for the store to prepare the goods, and Ling Shengxue stood quietly and waited. She looked around as she waited, and it was nearly dusk, and there were few customers in the shop. Suddenly, Ling Shengxue inadvertently saw a young scholar near the door, who was holding a large piece of rubbing paper in his hand, asking people who were coming in and out of the door about something.

This scholar is dressed as a Confucian student, with a square scarf on his head, and his eyebrows are in his temples, and he is born with a dignified and upright posture. It's just that his clothes are covered with dust and damaged in several places, and he looks quite depressed.

Especially for some reason, Ling Shengxue looked at this down-and-out scholar, and always felt that he had an inexplicable sense of strangeness. After hesitating for a moment, Ling Shengxue slowly walked behind the scholar, only to see that he was raising the drawing in his hand, grabbed a passing monk and asked, "This brother, do you recognize this formation?"

The monk who was passing by was stunned when he was suddenly stopped, and when he turned to look at the scholar, he immediately frowned and turned away, as if he didn't even want to talk to him.

Ling Shengxue secretly thought that it seemed that not only did he feel different about this scholar, but others also avoided him. While thinking, she inadvertently looked at the drawing in the scholar's hand, and saw more than a dozen lines drawn horizontally and vertically on the paper with simple brushwork, and then many black dots. At first glance, this figure looks a bit like gossip, those black dots are sparse on the outside and dense on the inside, and a spiral seems to be faintly formed in the center. The painting is like a toddler's graffiti, and the stroke is extremely sloppy, so it should have been drawn in a hurry. Ling Shengxue looked at the scribbled drawing behind her, but her eyes gradually revealed shock.

The scholar stood at the door for a long time, but no one was willing to reply to him, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged. He turned around, and suddenly found that there was a girl in black standing behind him, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, he naturally didn't think that this young girl would know any formations, but he still nodded at her, smiled and said hello.

Ling Shengxue looked at the down-and-out scholar in front of her, hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth and said, "If you don't think you have a long life, you can burn this piece of paper immediately." ”

The scholar was startled, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he came to the door of this shop to ask someone to ask about the dead horse as a live horse doctor. He knew that the formation drawn in the formation map in his hand was only afraid that it was not something that ordinary formation mages could recognize. Unexpectedly, the little girl in front of her seemed to know the origin of this formation.

The scholar hurriedly arched his hand at Ling Shengxue and said, "This girl, I didn't expect you to have such a deep attainment in the formation of the law at such a young age. If you know the name of this formation and the reason for the formation, please give me advice, and I am very grateful!"

At this moment, the shopkeeper came over with a package and said to Ling Shengxue with a pleasant face: "Guest officer, your things are ready." ”

Ling Shengxue took the package in the small second-hand and opened it to look at it, nodded to Xiao Er, took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to Xiao Er, and then put the contents of the package into Qiankun's pocket. Only then did he turn to face the down-and-out scholar and said expressionlessly, "I don't know." ”

It was almost dusk, and the blue and white buildings in the south of the city were the best time of the day for business, and the entire third floor was full of seats, and life was noisy. The shopkeeper was busy running in and out, bringing out plates of delicacies from time to time, and the overflowing aroma made passers-by on the long street outside the building salivate and stopped.

At a table by the window, Yue Mingxin was still telling Ling'er about the three of them fighting with Forget Worries at the moment. Jiang Jianqiu held the teacup in his hand, bored looking at the crimson sunset outside the window, and couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. Indeed, in the past few days, he has been fighting hard, coupled with running between the deep mountains and Meicheng, even if he has been wandering in the mountains and forests for a long time, he feels a little tired, and at this moment, as soon as his spirit relaxes, the whole person can't help but feel a little lazy.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Jianqiu saw a girl in black walking up the stairs, it was Ling Shengxue. Jiang Jianqiu hurriedly waved his hand, Ling Shengxue saw Jiang Yue and the others from a distance, nodded, and slowly walked over and sat down next to Jiang Jianqiu.

Yue Mingxin introduced Ling Shengxue and Yue Ling'er to each other again, Ling Shengxue's attitude was always lukewarm, and she sat there quietly after saying hello, no longer talking. Yue Ling'er was very interested when she saw the golden red whip on her waist, and this whip could be regarded as a beginner-level magic weapon. In particular, the gold thread on the whip is not only used as a decoration, but also can be used to do wonders when setting up and trapping enemies.

Jiang Jianqiu looked at Ling Shengxue and asked, "Are you done?"

Ling Shengxue nodded, and was about to speak, but a voice suddenly sounded behind her: "The girl left in such a hurry, she almost left nowhere to find her, it's so dangerous." ”

Ling Shengxue frowned, but her body didn't move at all, as if she hadn't heard the voice. Jiang Jianqiu and the others followed the prestige, and not far behind Ling Shengxue, there was a scholar in destitute clothes. Yue Mingxin frowned when he saw this person, and he only felt that he looked at it, and for some reason he felt that this person had an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart.

The scholar and everyone present were not polite, and walked over and sat directly next to Yue Ling'er. Yue Ling'er looked at him and shouted, "Go away, I don't want to sit with you!

The scholar's face flashed with embarrassment, and he looked left and right, so he had to sit down beside the old man, who was sleeping soundly at the moment, but ignored him.

Yue Mingxin looked at Ling Shengxue and asked softly, "Miss Ling, is this your friend?"

Ling Shengxue picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, and said coldly: "No, this person has been following behind me, and I don't know what the hell he has to do." ”

Yue Mingxin frowned when she heard this, looked at the scholar and said, "This brother, since Miss Ling said that she doesn't know you, why have you been pestering her." And you're full of evil spirits, how do you feel a little sneaky!"

The scholar hurriedly waved his hand, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, no, no, I just want to ask this girl for help, and she is definitely not a bad person." In Xia Mo Danfeng, he was originally a cloth cloth, wandering the world alone. As the saying goes, reading 10,000 books, traveling 10,000 miles is also. ”

The scholar shook his head as he spoke, and he really looked like a nerd. Yue Ling'er looked at this nerd with suspicion in her eyes, as if she had long decided from the bottom of her heart that this nerd who was full of non-nonsense and non-nonsense must not be a good person.

At this moment, Jiang Jianqiu on the side laughed, he patted Mo Danfeng's shoulder while laughing and said, "It's hard for you, with such an evil thing by your side, you have been disliked along the way." ”

Then Jiang Jianqiu turned his head to Yue Mingxin and the others and said, "You guys are wrong to blame this nerd, the evil thing is not him, it is the sword he carries." ”

Yue Mingxin and the others were stunned when they heard this, and after this reminder, everyone found that there was a blood-colored long sword on the side of the scholar. The scabbard of the sword was dark red, and a foot-long red spike hung from the hilt, which fell like blood. Looking closely, there seemed to be a dark red mist faintly churning around the sword body, which looked particularly demonic.

Yue Mingxin covered his mouth and exclaimed: "If it weren't for Brother Jiang's reminder, I really wouldn't have discovered the strangeness of this sword." This sword reveals a demonic aura, but it seems to be extremely hidden, making it difficult for people to detect its existence. ”

Mo Danfeng smiled bitterly and bowed his fist to Jiang Jianqiu, thanking him for relieving the siege, and then said: "This sword was met by chance in a dangerous place in the deep mountains and old forests the day before Xia. Coincidentally, the seal of this sword was unlocked, but it was entangled by it, and it couldn't be shaken off, which was really unlucky to say it. ”

Yue Ling'er felt surprised when she heard it, and asked with a glare: "Can't get rid of it?" How could it be, wouldn't it be better if you went to find a mountain stream and just threw it away." ”

Jiang Jianqiu chuckled on the side at this moment and said, "Little girl, you think you're smart." The demonic power of this demon sword had now seeped into the nerd's body, entangled with his spiritual power like a parasitic vine on a tree. Forcibly separating the two will only cause great damage to one's own meridians, which can lead to a serious illness or a loss of life. ”

"Cut, how can it be as evil as you say, bragging!" Yue Ling'er was a little unhappy when Jiang Jianqiu snatched her white, and she pouted and sat down without speaking.

Jiang Jianqiu continued: "Generally, after this evil thing attaches to the host, it will blend with the host's breath and cover up its own existence. Ordinary people often only notice the host's demonic aura, but do not notice the existence of these evil beings. ”

Because Jiang Jianqiu has a talent for perception and is naturally extremely sensitive to spiritual power, he will discover the abnormalities of this sword, and even other people like Yueming Heart Ling Shengxue who have the Tao can be blinded by this demon sword, not to mention those ordinary people.

Jiang Jianqiu turned around and looked at Mo Danfeng and asked, "You nerd is possessed by the demon sword and sucks spiritual power, and you can still walk around, sitting here and chatting with us, your cultivation should not be weak." ”

Mo Danfeng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Where, I have only roughly learned a few self-defense spells, and they are just some fungible fur techniques. On the contrary, you can recognize this demon sword at a glance, and you are really as wise as a torch. Thinking about it, the two girls over there must also be heroes among women, heroines. ”

Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but snicker secretly in his heart, this nerd chews words when he speaks, he is really pedantic to the extreme. At the moment, I don't know what he wants from his junior sister, but this horse is diligent.

Jiang Jianqiu raised the teacup and took a sip, shaking his head like Mo Danfeng and saying: "These two are above me in terms of Taoism and deeds, and their personalities are also gentle and generous, tricky and fierce, and they each occupy one side. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he only felt a sharp pain in his feet, but it was Ling Shengxue beside him who stepped on him fiercely without moving. Jiang Jianqiu screamed "ah", and the teacup in his hand almost fell off the table.

Yue Ling'er on the side stared at him with big eyes and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Jianqiu sneered and said, "It's nothing, I accidentally touched the wound earlier when I picked up the teacup just now, and it was just a little painful." ”

Yue Ling'er blinked her big eyes and said, "In this way, I saw that Sister Ling stepped on you, and I thought you were trampled on and couldn't help but scream." ”

Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but be speechless, and said in his heart that this little girl obviously saw it and asked herself, making it clear that she deliberately embarrassed herself, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to hold back his anger, and Yuemingxin couldn't help laughing out loud.

At this moment, the old man who had been sleeping on the side suddenly turned over and sat up with a loud "ah", he looked at the group of men and women in front of him and said in confusion: "Everyone is here?" Then he smacked his lips and said, "Then you can start eating." ”
