Chapter 29: Thank You
Chapter 29: Thank You
"The conch shell."
Yunqi muttered about what he lacked now.
There is some spiritual iron and refined gold, and Qiu Shui still has some left as food.
If you don’t have a knife or pen, “Autumn Water” can also be used.
Only this phonograph.
He looked at the talisman arrow in his hand over and over again until he was sure that he had understood the restrictions on it.
Then he put his right fingers together, and a little fire appeared on his fingertips.
He held the talisman arrow in his left hand, with the tail of the arrow slanting downward. He held the fire in his right hand and slowly approached the tail of the talisman arrow, just like lighting incense with a candle.
Yunqi was very patient. He first kept the flame far away and tried to burn it for a while. When he found nothing happened, he slowly moved closer and gently licked the talisman arrow with the tip of the flame.
However, he forgot one thing. As the fire continued, his left hand was soon burned. He had no choice but to place the talisman arrow on "Autumn Water" and then hold "Autumn Water" in his hand.
This lasted for about half a quarter of an hour, and Yunqi discovered that the end of the talisman arrow began to melt slowly. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he was not impatient and continued to roast it slowly over a low fire.
Another quarter of an hour later, a small section at the end of the talisman arrow was completely melted by the cloud.
He extinguished the flame, waited for the talisman arrow to cool down, then placed his palm toward the opening at the end, tilted the talisman arrow, and gently poured out the contents.
It's a piece of talisman paper.
Yunqi was a little surprised. He shook it gently, but nothing came out.
He leaned over to take a look, then smiled slightly, as if he had discovered something.
Then he began to summon fire again, this time to burn the place where the arrow head and the arrow body were connected.
The arrow was surprisingly thin, and this time he was much more adept at it, and he burned the arrow in less than half a quarter of an hour.
He picked up the arrow and saw that it was hollow, and there was indeed a small snail hidden inside.
The small snail was in the shape of a nail, completely embedded in the arrow head, with its tail facing the arrow head and its mouth facing the arrow shaft. A closer look revealed that the mouth of the small snail was still sealed with grayish-white soil, and Yunqi smelled it and smelled fishy.
Yunqi closed his eyes and recalled that when he was constructing the Palace of Light in his mind, he memorized a lot of information about spiritual objects such as gold, stone, earth and wood.
I remembered now, this is an earth-based spiritual creature called "Flowing Mud and Solid Earth".
This thing seems to be born timid. As long as you keep it quiet and don't touch it, it will be a piece of soil like a stone. But if something hits it, it will immediately become limp and turn into a puddle of mud.
Yunqi smiled and he understood.
Yunqi held the arrow without moving and looked at the talisman again. He spread it out and smiled again. It was a very familiar fire talisman, called the Fire Rain Melting Gold Talisman.
The talisman ink is mixed with phosphorus powder and cinnabar, and the runes contain the magical powers of [collapse], [explosion], and [burning] in the fire element. Once triggered, it will turn into a ball of fire rain. This fire rain cannot be extinguished by water when it falls on a person, and it will burn through clothes and skin and burn into bones and blood.
Yunqi thought for a moment, went to his room and took out a piece of lake stone from his bag, muttering,
"I didn't expect these broken stones could be put to use one after another."
He attached the fire talisman to the stone and threw it directly into the lake.
When he saw that the stone was about to disappear from sight, he bent his finger and flicked the arrow.
"Ding ~"
There was a crisp sound, the arrow head trembled, and at the same time, the soil on the small screw mouth quickly melted away, turning into a pool of mud and water that fell to the ground.
"The evil spirit is coming, and fire rains to greet it, burn!"
A spell came out from the conch mouth, and from the voice, it was from the thin Taoist priest.
"boom!"
As the spell sounded, the fire talisman under the lake exploded, but there was no sound. Yunqi looked down and it seemed as if a firework had bloomed in the lake. At this time, the "liquid mud solid soil" fell to the ground. No one moved it and it became a piece of soil again.
Yunqi picked it up gently and put it back into the mouth of the snail. This time the snail was not damaged by the talisman arrow and could be used again. Yunqi also knew how to make talisman arrows.
This thing was not recognized in the sect and was considered a minor skill. In addition, it was a new thing that appeared in recent years, and it was not mentioned in the few refining manuals that Yunqi had read. But he felt that this thing was very convenient to use, especially for a Qi-refining cultivator like himself who was training outside, it was a good treasure for self-defense and exorcism.
----
Early the next morning.
Jiang Yuexing, his son, and a woman came over.
Needless to say, this was a family coming to express their gratitude, and Yunqi invited them to sit in the hall.
The young man's mother's eyes were red, it seemed that she was very worried yesterday, while the young man's father looked relaxed, it seemed that the young man's injury was no longer serious.
The two men first praised Yunqi, and said that Sanqing Mountain was worthy of being the top sect of the immortal mountains, and the disciples who came out of it were truly extraordinary. This made Yunqi feel embarrassed, because after all, he had only read a few words yesterday.
But his parents obviously didn't think so, and they were very grateful to Yunqi. After hearing these words, Yunqi also understood the status of this young man in the Jiang family.
The entire Jin Xiang Sect is surnamed Jiang. Over the past thousands of years, they have been divided into several halls, each managing a group of people. Their main responsibility is to manage all the mortals on this island country, as well as the daily food, clothing, housing, transportation and all expenses of the Jin Xiang Sect.
And there is another rule here, that is, once a third-level cultivator emerges from any hall, this person will automatically leave the hall and go to Taixi Peak on the island to assist in the sect's affairs, or concentrate on cultivation, and cut off ties with the mundane affairs of the halls.
The hall that Jiang Yuexing belongs to is called Mingguang Hall. The main lineage of Mingguang Hall has produced two second-level cultivators in Jiang Yuexing's generation, namely himself and his brother Jiang Yanxing. Now this hall is under the charge of Jiang Yanxing, so the servants call Jiang Yanxing the head of the family and Jiang Yuexing the second master.
Jiang Yanxing had said long ago that he did not want to marry and have children in this life, he only wanted to seek the great way.
Fortunately, his younger brother Jiang Yuexing was a passionate man with one wife and many concubines, but so far, he only had one legitimate son. This one son was born when he was in the first realm, so his hope for the future was even slimmer.
This means that the main lineage of a hall depends on one person, so it's no wonder that they are nervous.
The two talked for a while, then took their leave, leaving Yunqi alone, asking her to stay well and to let him know if she needed anything.
But the young man stayed.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but say in unison:
"Benefactor!"
"Young hero!"
The young hero's face froze, he was so ashamed, "If you hadn't saved me, I would have been eaten by fish, how can I be called a young hero. Also, let me tell you, I'm fifteen years old, my last name is Jiang and my name is Nanjing. People close to me call me Jiangnan, you can call me Jiangnan or Nanjing if you want."
Yunqi said with a smile: "I am one year older than you, you can just call me Yunqi. Jiangnan is wrong. A hero is one who is determined by his heart rather than his deeds. You have the heart to capture the devil, and you are so young, so you can naturally be called a young hero!"
Jiang Nanjing shook his head repeatedly, "A benefactor is a benefactor, how can I call him by his name?"
Yunqi wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jiang Nanjing. He took out a sandalwood box from his arms. The box was very small, like a jewelry box for bracelets, earrings or something.
"My benefactor, I cannot repay you for saving my life. I have prepared some small gifts for you. Please accept them."
Yunqi waved his hand, "I said yesterday that we are all Taoists, so it is only natural for us to help you. No need to thank me."
Jiang Nanjing's face was stern, and he said righteously, "Your Excellency may not thank me, but my family must."
The young man opened the box and found a velvet cloth inside. On the velvet cloth were two objects. One was a white string bracelet with a small bead that looked like white glass, and in the middle of the bracelet was a golden seal button.
"This seal button is my private collection. Today, I will carve it into a seal for you. This Taixu Cave Stone is a thank-you gift from my uncle and father to you."
The young man stood up, held the wooden box in front of Yunqi with both hands, and said:
"My benefactor, your kindness in saving my life is too great to be thanked!"
