The base of the scabbard is made of obsidian, which is a very special golden sand obsidian. The quiet golden dust in the elegant deep black seems to be flowing under the light from different angles. The pure black part has rainbow eyes, which is really radiant. Part of the scabbard uses special craftsmanship to make gold into hollow patterns and inlaid with obsidian, which is ingenious. The hilt of the sword is also golden, I wonder if it is pure gold.
"It...should not be my brother's."
"Indeed not."
"That……"
Han Zhang just held his hand on it and was about to slowly draw out the sword, but Shi Wuqi suddenly said:
"Be careful. It is the celestial sword left behind by Kinnara, one of the Eight Evil Gods of the South. Although it is not a magic weapon, it can cause irreversible damage to the soul. Even if the six paths are impermanent, there is no possibility of reincarnation."
Han Chang immediately pulled back the slightly drawn sword.
"Don't be so nervous, just don't kill people randomly. This scabbard was broken before. I brought my own materials and asked a craftsman named Yun from Qinglize to help me make a new one." As he said that, the Master of Baiskeleton He picked up a golden obsidian bead and shook it, "I think Mr. Xie's scabbard was also made by him... Keep it, you will definitely need it."
They also learned some things from the mouth of the Hundred Skeleton Master. Kinnara and Gandharva are some kind of existence from heaven. In addition to the magical weapons each held, they also had two treasures brought from heaven. One is the nameless dagger that Master Bai Skeleton gave to Zhongli Hanzhang, and the other is a jade flute. This instrument was originally made as a pair with the Xun, but the sound quality is slightly inferior - even though humans may not be able to hear it at all. Although its divine power is weaker, it should not be underestimated. It can be either a flute or a flute, and its structure can change under the will of the player. However, maybe not everyone can control it.
"Is the xun you mentioned...made of agate? I have a xun!"
Ye Lingyu suddenly stood up a little excitedly. Shi Wuqi nodded and said that he could sense some special power and had a rough guess. This was one of the reasons why he immediately thought of handing the sword to Han Zhang after hearing the story, but it was not all.
"The flute is in your junior brother's hand."
"..."
Although Han Chang didn't speak, his face showed surprise. Xie Zhe and Ye Lingyu were also surprised by these words. If it is true, then there is indeed a feeling of "destined by fate".
"Is there any resonance between these two things?" Han Shan asked, "I mean, the flute and the sword."
"I don't know that. At least when I kept it here, there was nothing strange about it. I guess there should be some resonance between it and Xun, but you didn't seem to notice anything along the way. I don't think you have any defense. If you have weapons, then take them."
"But...such a treasure must be very expensive, right?"
Han Chang asked carefully. Of course he knew that his trick would definitely be seen through by the Master of Hundred Skeletons, but I'm afraid that the Eclipse Palace didn't accept any property, but also wanted some weird things. Sure enough, Bai Skeleton Master tilted his head and walked back to his desk. He pulled over a delicate metal box, opened it, put the gold obsidian beads back, and said:
"I don't know how to measure the value of this sword. Whenever I am unsure or can't think of what I need, I will tell the person who comes to find an eye for me."
"Eyes?" Ling Huan didn't understand. "What kind of eyes? Monster's, or..."
Xie Zhe suddenly said: "He doesn't have a right eye."
Han Chang looked back at him: "When did you know about it?" Then he looked at Shi Wuqi.
"When I first met him."
Shi Wuqi smiled and gently lifted up his long right hair with his right hand. Where the eyes should be, there is an extremely special sight. They were not eyes, but something else dark, dotted with fine white highlights, like compact stardust. Viewed from this distance, it was as if a corner of the beautiful starry sky had been cropped and put into his eyes.
He dug it out with his bare hands.
It was a round blue sandstone, as big as the several gemstones he had been playing with previously. It's in very good condition, and anyone who sees it will fall in love with it. Immediately, before others could see his empty eye sockets, he skillfully placed another spherical object. This time it was a moonstone, crystal clear and glowing with a faint blue light.
"I need suitable eyes - the most suitable ones. Although I already have the eyes of many things, minerals, plants, and even monsters, I still need a replacement that can save me once and for all. Among the 'eyes' I have , some are just for decoration and collection, while others have special functions. They either sharpen my senses, allow me to see the short future, or make me step into a bizarre fantasy world. , but they cannot last long. As time and frequency of use increase, the spiritual power will weaken. Most of the ores are too heavy and make my eyes hurt. In any case, these are not long-term solutions... If you can find Just bring me something special."
Han Chang looked confused: "This... we can't judge, what kind of thing can meet your needs?"
"It doesn't mean that you must find the most perfect substitute. In fact, there may not be such a thing in the world. I mean, as long as you search hard and find something that you think is the most suitable and special. . If I really demand perfection from every requester, I'm afraid they will either die of exhaustion or run away, leaving the contract behind."
"Are there still such dishonest people?" Ling Huan sighed, "Then they have the nerve to trouble you?"
"Well, if you want to say it, there is indeed one. So I will establish a contract with every person who asks for help."
"contract?"
They have never heard of this.
Shi Wuqi smiled again: "Of course. I am not so generous as to engage in loss-making business. If you agree, I will give you a small spell."
Xie Zhe suddenly grabbed Han Shangs wrist from behind. He understood that Xie Zhe was reminding him to be careful. The spell is a very dangerous thing. Everyone knows that if a big monster is engraved with such a monster mark, it will become involuntary. The power of a spell is absolute, indestructible, and irrefutable. Many little demons will gain the power of the big demon through it. At the same time, the big demon will have the power of life and death with this appendage. He can give the little demon power at any time, or cut it off, and an invisible and unbreakable connection will be established between them. I have to think twice about this kind of thing.
"Ah, An Xin, it's not the kind of thing that is engraved on the soul." Shi Wuqi explained now, as if he was happy to see the expressions of those who heard this question questioning him. He tidied the table leisurely. "It's a designated contract, and there will be no harm outside of the agreement."
"Then what if...it doesn't happen?"
"While you are still alive, you will not suffer any losses. When you die, you will hand over your body to me. As for how long your race or cultivation can keep you alive, it depends on your ability."
"……ah?"
All three of them raised their eyebrows. Shi Wuqi said these words calmly and calmly, making it seem like it was not something worth mentioning at all. This condition is somewhat unbelievable, whether it is light or serious, whether it is serious or not. Everyone knows that the Lord of Hundreds of Skeletons is a big monster who can command hundreds of corpses and identify people by touching their bones. But what can he do if he wants the corpses of other monsters?
Seemingly sensing their doubts, or perhaps because enough people had asked before, Shi Wuqi consciously explained to them:
"On the way, I saw that Mr. Xie was worried, probably because he was thinking about this town. Indeed, the reason why I gave up my residence in this world is that its capacity is really limited. You must think that this is an empty city, but it is not. With me The bodies of those who signed contracts but failed to implement them for various reasons are all here. In addition, there are also some monsters or people who stay here for other reasons. They usually stay in different places like ordinary people. In the house. As long as I want, I can wake them up at any time, and even control the corpses of the entire town at the same time, allowing them to live like normal people for a period of time... But this is meaningless, and I am tired of the false prosperity. I Only when needed, wake up some of them and help me with some small favors.”
Worthy of being the “Lord of Hundreds of Skeletons”! No matter how kind he is, at the end of the day, he is a monster that can make humans feel creepy. No wonder there are no signs of life here. They couldn't help but take a breath of cold air - this Eclipse Tower was simply a large cemetery of monsters. Those who have broken their promise live here and are used like tools. No matter how luxurious the pavilions are, aren’t they still a kind of coffin? Although they are all just shells and have no souls, using one's own body as a bargaining chip is really a bit disconcerting...
Looking at Shi Wuqi's peaceful smile at this time, it already made people feel that there was something profound about it.
"Okay, I promise you."
"ha?"
As soon as Ling Huan expressed doubts, Xie Zhe forcefully tugged Han Shangs wrist.
"Are you crazy? Do you know how valuable a corpse is to a knowledgeable person? Every part of your body can be sold for a good amount. As a price, I think this is unreasonable."
"It doesn't matter, I think it's worth it." Han Chang was very calm, as if he knew what he was talking about.
Shi Wuqi clapped his hands.
"So, I like to do business with monsters. Human beings are too particular and always want to be buried. Human corpses are also too fragile. Like fuel for heating, they will turn into ashes in an instant. Monster corpses last longer , and over the years I have been trying to continue the power that the corpse can use when it is still alive. It is more meaningful to let these be inherited than to dismantle them and use them for other purposes."
As he said that, Shi Wuqi suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on Han Zhang's right shoulder. Through the special dark red material, he felt a special warmth seep in and fall on his skin. It felt light, like a kiss from a petal. He saw a burst of illusory light golden light, which disappeared so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.
"That's good." Shi Wuqi let go of his hand and continued, "Friend, what is a corpse? Is it the flesh and blood in the skin, and the bones under the flesh and blood? Is it a relic of the memory of the living, or is it the nourishment accepted by the earth? Yes Is it the carrier of thoughts or the container of the soul? Is it the finale of life or the prelude of death? Death is the end, withering, decay, necessity, and destiny. But whether you let your own value transcend death is what you live for It’s a matter of choice.”
Under the surprised gazes of the two friends who could not understand him yet, Han Chang bowed.
"Let me tell you one last thing. I don't know if it will help. If you want to find something, you can also use the power of Yun Waijing. A long time ago, Yun Waijing was still in a place called Xueyan Valley. Now It’s hard to say. After all, I haven’t left the Eclipse Palace for a long time.”
"Thank you."
