"To put it simply, my skills have been completed. This is my true self."
Wang Ye was even more puzzled: "Shangqing has always been famous for its quiet cultivation and meditation. How could such a domineering technique exist in the sect?"
"Hahaha, Wudang's Tai Chi also has the strong Yang Hand, which requires one to be extremely still before thinking about movement. Although Shangqing focuses on quiet cultivation, there are always disciples in every generation who cause some major trouble."
"This is a sect that both creates gods and kills gods."
······
After the feast, the guests left, and even Hu Xiuwu sent his exhausted parents away to rest, leaving only Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang to deal with the aftermath.
Hu Yunxuan and his mother are no longer young, and socializing is actually a physically demanding job that requires smiling all the time and is very tiring, so after returning home, they took a shower and went to bed to rest.
Only Hu Xiuwu was left, still waiting in the living room for Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang to come back.
As long as you don't care about the money, the finishing work can actually be completed quickly, so Hu Xiuwu didn't even listen to the official explanation of the astronomical phenomena on the TV news, before he saw Hu Bayi, drunk, returning to the courtyard with his fiancée and a large leather bag.
As soon as he entered the living room, Hu Bayi threw the leather bag in his hand, which looked very old and outdated, onto the coffee table. There was a loud clang, and from the sound one could tell that the things inside were quite heavy. Then he collapsed on the sofa. Xue Liyang's condition was not much better, and she also leaned tiredly next to Hu Bayi.
Even though he was lying on the sofa, Hu Bayi was still complaining, "Huh~ Wang Kaixuan, that fat guy, is really trying to get me drunk."
Hu Xiuwu brought them the hangover soup that Hu's mother had prepared long ago.
After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked much better. Although Hu Bayi drank a lot, he was an extraordinary person with cultivation after all, and he recovered much faster than Shirley Yang. Even the redness on his face had faded.
Seeing Hu Bayi waking up, Hu Xiuwu asked, "What is this leather bag you threw on the coffee table?"
"This? This is your sister-in-law's dowry." Hu Bayi said lazily.
Even though he was still drunk, Shirley Yang still used a Kuixing Kick to kick Hu Bayi off the sofa, scolding him:
"speak nicely!"
Hu Bayi got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his back, and said nonchalantly:
"This is the equipment of the Taoist monks who moved mountains, which was passed down from your sister-in-law's ancestors. The curse of the Zaklama tribe has been lifted, and she doesn't want to rob tombs anymore, so she gave these things to me for self-defense."
"This bag contains all the tools that the Taoist priests of the Mountain Moving Sect have accumulated. There is also a diamond umbrella from the tomb-robbing sect, and the Thirty-Six Star Official Corpse-Fixing Needle used by the tomb-robbing lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty that your sister-in-law bought from abroad."
"Especially the Vajra Umbrella and the Star Official Corpse-Fixing Needle. Master Hui said that these two items are actually magic tools. It's just that they haven't been used and maintained for a long time, so the treasures have become dusty. With a little warming and nurturing, they can shine again."
While introducing the contents, Hu Bayi untied the seal of the leather bag:
"In fact, even this humble leather bag was specially prepared by the Banshan Clan for the Zhuochen Pearl. It is made of mermaid skin and is impervious to water and fire."
"As for the Corpse Softening Powder and Corpse Stabilizing Pill, these small pieces are only of research value and destined for the laboratory. As for the Three Mountain Moving Nails and Four Armors, the three nails have been lost, and the three of the four Armors have become national protected animals. They are of no use to me who knows the Earth Walking Immortal Art. I only have this last treasure left."
After taking out most of the things in the bag and filling the table, Hu Bayi finally found what he wanted. He raised his hands high and unfolded a piece of light armor:
"Hey, the secret treasure of moving mountains~"
"Panoramic!"
Chapter 177: Climbing the Panther
Panicola,
The Zaklama tribe once relied on a semi-magical weapon to fight against the Jingjue people. The mermaid skin lining inside the weapon could reduce 80% of the force of a heavy punch from a half-human, half-demon Jingjue captain.
However, this piece of armor is different from the one Hu Xiuwu had seen at Gao Ji's place. It is a version that was modified by the later Taoist monks.
After learning about the existence of the Zhuochen Pearl from Jingjue, the Zaklama tribe gave up the trade route to the Western Regions. The closer the Zaklama tribe got to the ghost cave, the more serious the loss of yang energy became, and their lifespan was severely shortened. Now that they had obtained clues to lift the curse, they were no longer willing to waste the lives of their people in exchange for money.
On the journey to find the Zhuochen Pearl, their opponents changed from the Captain of the Jingjue to zombies, evil spirits, and mechanical traps that might appear in the tomb.
However, the zombies' attack power is far inferior to that of the Jingjue Captain, the pangolin's super high defense seems a bit wasteful, and the original pangolin is too bulky.
Therefore, in order to be able to move freely in the wild mountains where few people have ever been, the Taoist monk Banshan searched for the Zhuochen Pearl in the ancient tomb.
After the Han Dynasty, the Banshan Sect redesigned the Panshan Armor.
The bronze armor plates that protected non-vital parts of the armor were removed, which greatly reduced the weight of the climbing armor, turning it from a heavy armor for attacking strong points into a light armor, and from focusing on defense to focusing on agility. At the same time, it can be hidden under a wide Taoist robe, keeping a low profile and not attracting attention.
In addition, mechanisms were added to the armor, and a large number of foldable steel barbs were added to form a hundred-barb hook, which could be used when needed to move around in tombs and on cliffs.
Hu Bayi fiddled with the climbing armor. The scales on the armor, which were covered with barbs, rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound like falling leaves.
"Master Hui said that the armor plates on this climbing armor are all made of fragments of magic tools. Although the spirituality has been completely wiped out, the parts are all made of top-quality materials. If we can find a skilled Qi practitioner, maybe we can use it to refine a magic tool like armor."
Hu Xiuwu nodded: "I know, the Hentian clan used the earth vein dragon fire to create the fragments of bronze sacrificial vessels and stitched them together."
"What's wrong with you?" Hu Bayi hadn't finished asking before he realized it. "Yes, you should know its origin better than me. I don't need to say anything more. You should use this armor well. You can find a good refiner in the future and get a new magic weapon."
Hu Xiuwu was stunned: "Give it to me, brother, didn't you say this is my sister-in-law's dowry?"
Hu Bayi nodded and said as a matter of course: "Yes, but I discussed it with your sister-in-law and felt that you are more likely to cause trouble than me, and you need it for self-defense more."
Hu Xiuwu:······
In fact, Mr. Hui Er once complained about the two brothers of the Hu family in private: one had a turbulent life and a tomb would collapse when he saw it; the other was even more bizarre, and time travel, foreign invasions, and the Jiashen Rebellion could all be related to him.
In his hundred years of immortal life, Mr. Hui Erye had never seen two brothers who were so capable of causing trouble. He even lamented privately that the Hu family had two brothers in this generation, which was really a blessing from their ancestors.
No, it's a smoke signal.
Hu Xiuwu pushed back the armor that Hu Bayi handed over, and said with a look of disdain: "You should use it yourself. With your strength, you need armor for self-defense more than I do."
Come on, let's hurt each other.
Hu Xiuwu's words hit Hu Bayi's heart accurately, and he had no way to refute it. It was because he, as an older brother, was indeed inferior to his younger brother Yichou in strength.
"Hahaha, didn't Shugo get it right?"
Shirley Yang, who was half lying on the sofa to sober up, laughed, propped herself up with her hands, raised her towering peaks, and smiled at Xiuwu:
"Xiugo, you are right. Your eldest brother is just weak, but he likes to save face and act like a hero in front of his girlfriend and younger brother."
"But you don't have to worry about him. I have more than one of these pangolins. The one your brother gave you is only the best one."
Since Gao Gu's death, the Zaklama tribe has gradually declined. The armor made of gold and iron still exists, but there are no longer so many agile members in the tribe.
"You should have said it earlier. Bring it here."
Hu Xiuwu grabbed the climbing armor from Hu Bayi's hand. Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang were both people who knew the inside story of the alien world, so Hu Xiuwu did not hide it and directly put it into Luofengtian.
If Luo Fengtian's magic is not deliberately revealed, its external appearance is similar to the storage magic weapon Devouring Sac of Tiangongtang. Normally, Hu Xiuwu is also subtly reinforcing this point of view to everyone, making others think that what he holds in his hand is just an ordinary storage magic weapon.
The only person who knew Hu Xiuwu's secret was Chen Duo.
After being humiliated by Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi felt a little embarrassed, and his face looked like he was drunk:
"You, how can you slander someone's innocence like this? I just missed a word. After all, I am a tomb raider, the deputy of the person in charge of Sijiu City, and the descendant of a shaman. How can I be inferior to him?"
"Oh."
Shirley Yang propped up her upper body with her hands to make her curves more prominent. The flush from being drunk had not yet faded, adding a touch of tenderness to her slightly heroic face, making her look even more beautiful.
She licked her lips, rubbed her long legs against each other, and said to Hu Bayi in a seductive tone:
"Really? Prove it to me."
Hu Bayi swallowed his saliva and approached Shirley Yang.
Cough, cough, cough!
Hu Xiuwu coughed violently and said speechlessly: "Newlyweds, please go back to your own home!"
OMG! What have I done!
After hearing Hu Xiuwu's words, Shirley Yang came to her senses completely. Her face seemed to be steaming, so hot that it was hot enough to fry an egg. She hurriedly stood up from the sofa and pretended to stroke her clothes.
Shirley Yang smoothed her messy hair and pretended to be calm and said, "Bayi, I'm still a little dizzy, maybe I'm still drunk, let's go back first."
Hu Xiuwu: "Haha, I can see that."
"Yes, yes," Hu Bayi said hurriedly as he walked down the stairs behind Shirley Yang, "I'm drunk too, let's go first."
Hu Xiuwu glanced at Hu Bayi and said, "You've drunk too much, you're obsessed with sex!"
Under Hu Xiuwu's gaze, the two men left in a panic, without even having time to take the things on the table away.
Hu Xiuwu watched the two people leave in a hurry, then shook his head and closed the door:
"Tsk, tsk, looks like I'll have a nephew soon."
In order to prevent Hu's mother from being frightened by the weapons on the table when she gets up tomorrow morning, Hu Xiuwu put all the things on the table into Luo Fengtian, planning to return them to Hu Bayi tomorrow.
It was not until this time that he discovered that the climbing armor had undergone a change in Luofengtian, and mottled and incomplete runes flashed on the inside of its bronze armor.
Gao Gu was well aware of the value of these sacrificial vessels, so when transforming them into armor, he specifically instructed the craftsmen to try not to damage the runes engraved on the vessels.
Broken runes lit up, and these pieces of armor actually absorbed the poisonous miasma that permeated Luofengtian on their own.
The essence of the poisonous miasma in Luofengtian is the poison of incense and fire that contains the distracting thoughts of all living beings. In other words, the bronze armor can actually absorb the poison of incense and fire.
Hu Xiuwu thought about it and found it normal. The scales on the armor of the climbing shell originated from the fragments of sacrificial vessels during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The original function of sacrificial vessels was to be the medium for communication between ghosts and gods during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
When the bronze fragment of the pangolin is intact, it should be in the shape of a container with forbidden runes attached inside to retain the absorbed incense. When poured out, it can also use the power of the wishes of all living beings to stimulate the dragon fire hidden in the earth veins within the sacrificial vessel.
Using incense to practice incense, boiling beans and burning bean pods to use the power of dragon fire to melt the incense and remove impurities, the predecessors in the Shang and Zhou dynasties were also very good at it.
It seems that stealing incense is an old tradition passed down from ancient times.
Unfortunately, because the fragments of these sacrificial vessels were broken too badly, although the high concentration of incense in Luofengtian stimulated some power, it was still far from the level of self-recovery, and did not retain any of the incense poison that was absorbed.
Just like a bamboo basket, it can't hold water no matter what. Even so, it is enough to prove that these armor pieces have extraordinary origins. Weapon refiners have been rare since ancient times, and not all sacrificial utensils are magic weapons.
In those days, only the great princes and the royal families of Shang and Zhou dynasties could use ritual instruments as sacrifices.
Mr. Hui Erye has a very sharp eye, and the armor he picked out is also extraordinary.
Chapter 178 Keeping an Appointment
I thought the armor was of no use to him, but now it seems to have a lot of uses. However, it is not easy to find a good weapon refiner.
Even though he has many magical weapons in his hands, Hu Xiuwu really doesn't know any weapon refiner. The swordsmith Zhang Duan is the closest person to a weapon refiner he knows.
Hu Xiuwu thought unrealistically: "Why don't we ask Uncle Liao? I remember there seems to be a weapon refiner in the bunker. I wonder if he can help?"
Imagine Liao Zhong promised him, and then sent him into the bunker with a grim smile on his face. It was hard to say whether he would repair his armor or punish him.
Hu Xiuwu shuddered.
Forget it, let’s think of another way.
