Hearing this, Mu Qing once again cast his gaze on the Vermillion Bird Thorn, and as expected, the spiritual weapon started to move again. He couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said, "This is the first time I've heard of weapons that want to eat people. What's the biggest difference?"
Mu Qing rolled up his sleeves and took off the dagger on his right arm. Suzaku's eyes fell on it and he said softly: "The material of your dagger is special, and it is considered top-notch among mortal weapons. If we talk about spiritual weapons and The biggest and terrifying difference between ordinary soldiers lies in the amount of spirituality they possess."
She looked at Mu Qing and said seriously: "All things have animism. It's not just a saying. A long time ago, in this world, there were not only us human monks, but also other races. They received the aura of the heaven and the earth and enjoyed the essence of the sun and the moon. , unlock the spiritual essence, which is what the people now call monsters."
They say they sit down and talk, Mu Qing doesn't know if he and Suzaku count, but he is enjoying this experience now.
"Over the long years, they have acquired spirituality, opened up their spiritual wisdom, can speak human words, and even eventually transformed into humans."
"Isn't this what people call a monster?"
Suzaku heard the suspicion in Mu Qing's voice and said softly: "In everyone's eyes, monsters and monsters are always inseparable, but they are mostly transformed into plants and trees, with beautiful faces and spiritual roots, while monsters are transformed into strange beasts from the mountains and rivers. Transformation, how ugly the description is...Actually, I have never seen monsters, but from some books in Hidden Valley and these magic weapons, I can understand that just because I haven't seen them, it doesn't mean I don't have them."
Mu Qing looked at the firebird-patterned mask on Suzaku's face, feeling silent in his heart, and nodded: "In other words, the refining of spiritual weapons mostly involves smelting some spiritual substances, such as the blood essence and fur of monsters?"
Suzaku shook his head and said: "That's true, but if that's the case, there will probably be more than half as many magic weapons in the world. Refining weapons is the same as refining elixirs. The preparation of various materials is only basic. Can you smelt and forge a magic weapon? Weapons also rely heavily on the skills of weapon refiners. It can be said that the entire Mujin Dynasty cannot find one or two people who can forge spiritual weapons."
Mu Qing looked down at the dagger in his hand and felt a little regretful. Suzaku said softly: "The two magic weapons on my body are made by smelting blood essence into weapons. They are acquired spiritual weapons."
Mu Qing is now more sensitive to the distinction between nurture and innateness. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "Does Hidden Valley have an innate magic weapon?"
Suzaku glanced sideways at Mu Qing and sneered: "Just from the few records in Hidden Valley, among the innate magic weapons bred by the melting pot of heaven and earth, none of them has a power that exceeds the existence of holy soldiers. Wherever these innate magic weapons appear in the world It gives birth to spiritual wisdom. If you are really lucky enough to meet me in the future, you should feel it is a great honor to be able to call me Taoist friend. What? Have you thought so far already?"
Mu Qing's face was dull, and Suzaku looked at the weapon in his hand and said calmly: "If you want to have a magic weapon that is handy, it depends on the chance, but you can also be prepared and collect various rare materials first. This is the case for elixirs, and the same is for refining weapons. .”
The two of them looked at each other, both looking in a certain direction. Suzaku lowered his jaw and said, "There must be something precious in the city lord's palace. If you have made great achievements, I won't be able to make the decision."
Thinking too far...
Mu Qing shook his head and laughed. His eyes fell on the spiritual weapon in Suzaku's hand again. He pondered for a moment and scratched his fingertips.
A drop of crystal blood dripped from his fingertips and floated between the two of them.
Seeing this, Suzaku also restrained his expression, moved his hand slightly, and the floating drop of blood was taken into the blood tank of the short thorn.
Buzz——
For a moment, scarlet light shone brightly on the short thorn. Suzaku snorted, tightened his wrist and brought it to his side. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just a try, why use blood essence."
"It's not blood essence." Mu Qing tilted his upper body back slightly and said in a condensing voice: "My blood and energy are so attractive to it, maybe it has something to do with my physique."
Suzaku raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking at the spirit weapon in his hand, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "My problem before was that after I used it to plunder a large amount of energy and blood, it would affect my judgment and make me kill. more people."
"Just now, I could feel its appetite, but it didn't affect my mood."
Suzaku said, his eyes moved on Mu Qing, and he chuckled: "To me, your whole body seems to be a treasure."
If it were Yun'er or Wei Rui, it would definitely be sweet talk. Apart from being awkward, Mu Qing felt a slight chill down his spine, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "These problems you have now should be related to your breakthrough. I heard It is said that when the master's realm improves, the magic weapon he carries with him all year round will also have the opportunity to upgrade. Maybe this is it."
"I didn't expect you knew a lot about it." Suzaku nodded and said, "This situation is most common among sword cultivators. Sword cultivators will feed their swords with their own sword intent on a daily basis. I just heard that when a sword cultivator cultivates the essence, The Queen of Gods can even separate her soul into the sword."
"Then a sword like this can also be regarded as a magic weapon?" Mu Qing said in surprise.
"It is still somewhat different from a magic weapon, because the spiritual intelligence of the sword is actually the sword cultivator's own thinking. However, I have heard that there were several immortal swords in ancient times. One of them was the sword that the sword immortal placed his soul on after his death. Over time, the soul transformed into The consciousness of the sword spirit as a weapon actually exceeds the consciousness of human beings."
I don’t know why, the more Mu Qing hides his little secrets in front of her, the better her conversation becomes. At this moment, he glanced at Mu Qing who was listening in rapt attention, and said softly and mysteriously: "True Self Level 3, you Do you know why you transformed into a mortal after being detached from the mortal world?"
Mu Qing's eyes trembled, and he glanced at Suzaku with raised eyebrows. Considering that he was only in the second level of spiritual life, as Meng Zhang had warned, the more he knew, the better. But at this moment, since it was Suzaku who wanted to Of course he was all ears.
"Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin today, from ancient times to the present, countless outstanding people lost their humanity and were assimilated by the great road when they were trying to achieve immortality. Sword cultivators' own soul and humanity were suppressed for similar reasons."
Mu Qing lowered his eyes, suppressed the flash of light in his eyes, and asked softly: "Is there any difference between being transformed and being possessed?"
Suzaku herself was tortured by the fire of karma. It could be said that she had always had one foot close to the realm of obsession. At this time, she squinted her eyes and tilted her head and thought seriously for a while before she said seriously: "If it's just about behavior, There may not be much difference, but if you are enlightened, you will be purer. Being obsessed is the amplification of various evil desires in human nature, but after being enlightened, you will lose your humanity."
"One is still a human being, and the other is just a part of heaven and earth."
snap——
A mysterious feeling suddenly lingered in the minds of the two of them, and a few strands of breeze came out of thin air in the quiet room, blowing the slightly closed windows.
When Mu Qing looked at Zhuque again, he saw that Zhuque had already entered a state of meditation. He thought for a while and silently stayed by Zhuque's side.
With each breath of the monk, the sun sets and the moon rises visible in the sky and the earth.
Night filtered into the open window.
Mu Qing placed his hands flat on his knees, his faint eyes trembling all the time. Compared to the silent and sculpture-like Suzaku beside him, his state at this time was not stable.
"Change is a process. If you pursue results, you will be burdened by them."
A vicissitudes of sound that spanned the years rang out in Mu Qing's sea of consciousness. Upon hearing the sound, Mu Qing immediately asked: "Why did I become Taoist?"
"I have already explained."
Meng Zhang obviously didn't want to talk to Mu Qingshen, so he turned to Zhuque: "The power of luck in her body has begun to become stronger, which is inseparable from you, and if you can help her go further, Her luck will also feed back to you."
Mu Qing simply ended his meditation, opened his eyes, and looked at the woman in front of him. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He did not want to define his relationship with Suzaku by some kind of exchange of interests.
In Mu Qing's view, he and she could already be considered friends.
"I want to completely eliminate the karmic fire in her body. If she only waits for the Nascent Soul Baopu Jue to be cultivated to perfection, then she must always be careful not to be aroused by the blood-evil spirit in her future practice. I will train you to do body training." Dharma door.”
hiss--
Mu Qing's cheeks puffed up, and his eyebrows knitted together.
He is now quite familiar with the behavior of this mysterious being in his body, and he does not take his current state into consideration at all.
The indoctrination process this time took much longer than the previous teaching of the method. Mu Qing persisted for a moment, and simply lay on his side on the floor and huddled together.
His movement finally broke Suzaku's meditation.
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
What he saw was Mu Qing's lifeless state. Suzaku was frightened and immediately stretched out his hands, but immediately stopped in mid-air.
Sometimes, interference from external forces will destroy the stable state maintained by the monks.
Suzaku had been eroded by the fire of karma for so many years, and he had long understood this truth. After Mu Qing's groan of pain had completely subsided, he straightened his body against the wall, looked at his brows and eyes with beads of sweat, and asked in a tight voice Said: "What do you need me to do?"
Mu Qing shook his head, his chest rose and fell, he took a few breaths, and said softly: "It's just a headache, but it has interrupted your opportunity for enlightenment this time."
"With my current level of cultivation, if it were really an opportunity for enlightenment, I would have to stay in seclusion for a year and a half, and I would only gain a little bit."
When Suzaku saw that Mu Qing was fine, there was a bit of a relaxed smile in his voice, "It seems that you are indeed helpful to me in cultivating my mind. I can gain something from chatting with you."
"My current situation is still due to a sudden breakthrough and lack of understanding in some areas, which is why I feel unsmooth."
When she said this, she saw that Mu Qing was still silent. She thought it was Mu Qing who thought she was complaining about the past, but she heard Mu Qing raise her eyebrows and say seriously: "Your current situation is very complicated. If the karma is not eliminated, all kinds of things will always happen." A hidden danger.”
Suzaku simply sat against the wall, side by side with Mu Qing, looking at the moonlight spreading in front of him, and said softly: "Of course, if it weren't for what your kid did that night, I'm afraid I would never have crossed the threshold of transcendence." I have reached this level, but now I feel even more that I wasted my years of practice."
Mu Qing looked at the woman next to him and sighed, temporarily forgetting the information that made his brain swollen. He thought about what she would look like behind the mask for no reason, and suddenly asked: "You put it on?" How old is this mask?”
Suzaku turned to look into his eyes, then turned to the other side to look at the dark night outside the window, and said softly: "From the time I broke through to the spiritual realm, I think I was in my twenties at that time, right?"
When she said this, she glanced sideways at Mu Qing: "I'm warning you, it's very rude to ask someone's age, whether she's a cultivator or not."
"I didn't ask you your age..." Mu Qing pursed her lips and muttered something in her heart. Her eyes fell on her mask. After a moment of hesitation, she whispered softly: "Murong Jing, I actually lied to you before. If I just rely on It will be very difficult for that method to completely eliminate the karmic fire."
The eyes behind the Suzaku mask lit up and narrowed slightly. He raised his chin and said softly: "I know what's good. If you can practice this Nascent Soul Holding Pu Jue, it won't be too difficult to get rid of the karma."
Mu Qing slightly raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "But it will take a long time, maybe many years. And during such a long time, you have to always worry about whether the karma fire in your body will be aroused."
Zhuque gave him a strange look and said softly: "What do you mean?"
"Ahem, I have a body-training technique here, specifically for your special physique."
When Mu Qing said this, he always felt that he was a liar in the world who was selling low-quality pirated copies as a secret book.
