When Qin Shaoyou called out the black shadow and checked its abilities, Taoist Master Zeng Cong was looking at it curiously.
;;;;When Qin Shaoyou asked about it, he thought about it seriously and replied: "It should be the shadow demon."
;;;;"Shadow demon?"
;;;;Qin Shaoyou remembered that he had seen records of shadow demons in the "Hundred Demon Species" of the Demon Suppression Department.
;;;;It's just that the content in "Hundred Demons Book" is too simple, with only one short sentence: Shadow demons can escape in the shadows and hurt people, and are extremely difficult to hunt and kill.
;;;;In comparison, I still know more about the Shadow Demon from Taoist Master Zeng:
;;;;"I once heard Master mention the shadow demon, saying that after a cultivator dies, the blood, mana and other energy gained from cultivation in the body will slowly overflow. In this process, if it is because of Some special influences cause this energy to be absorbed by the shadow of the deceased, and if it absorbs to a certain amount, the shadow will break away from the corpse and turn into a shadow demon.
;;;;The original shadow demon did not have self-awareness. It was more like a walking zombie, parasitic in various shadows.
;;;;But if they encounter the shadow of a living creature during this process, they can obtain nutrients by swallowing the shadow, allowing themselves to survive and slowly unlock wisdom. But the living creatures whose shadows are swallowed by them will lose their vitality and become thinner day by day. "
;;;;After listening to the introduction of the shadow demon, Qin Shaoyou was a little curious: "What kind of special influence can turn a shadow into a shadow demon?"
;;;;"I don't know about this."
;;;;Taoist Master Zeng Cong shook his head.
;;;;"Master didn't tell me. I have never seen a shadow demon before. But thinking about it, it should be related to Feng Shui, formations, and the condition of the deceased before his death, such as being possessed by a demon or something. And the chance is very small. After all, the shadow demon Very rare.”
;;;;Immediately afterwards, Taoist Master Zeng asked for another brass cylinder.
;;;;After carefully examining it, he said: "This brass cylinder is specially made for the shadow demon to live in. The shadow demon hides in it, so it will not cause harm to the user's shadow, thus avoiding The user is backlashed by the shadow demon. At the same time, it can also restrain and discipline the shadow demon. Look at the runes on the tube. Once they are activated, they can cause harm to the shadow demon and make it obey the user. Don’t dare to disobey orders.”
;;;;So that’s it. Qin Shaoyou suddenly understood why Dongchuan Hou Shizi was able to use the shadow demon.
;;;;While comforting the shadow demon: "Don't be afraid, as long as you are obedient, I will not use these runes to hurt you." At the same time, he actively asked Taoist Zeng Cong for advice on the use of runes, so that The shadow demon trembled, not knowing whether to believe his words or not.
;;;; Mastering the use of the brass cylinder, Qin Shaoyou let the shadow demon return to the cylinder, and then asked: "Brother Zeng, does this shadow demon eat shadows to survive and grow?"
;;;;Taoist Master Zeng Cong replied: "To be precise, it absorbs the vitality and energy of living creatures through its shadow. The more powerful the living creature is, the stronger the improvement it gets after absorbing it, and the longer it takes to survive hunger. The longer.”
;;;;"Understood." Qin Shaoyou nodded.
;;;;When encountering an enemy in the future, let the shadow demon devour the shadow first. In this way, you can sneak attack the enemy and feed the shadow demon, which is killing two birds with one stone.
;;;;I just don’t know, will the texture and taste of the ghost be affected after being eaten by the shadow demon?
;;;;This question can only be tried later.
;;;;After talking about the shadow demon, Master Zeng Cong returned the horn and command flag to Qin Shaoyou, and asked him to take out the captured altar. After a brief inspection, he nodded and said: "This That's right. The altar, horn, and command flag are a complete set of supernatural items. Fortunately, you collected them all. Otherwise, if one is missing, it will be difficult to exert their effect. "
;;;;"This altar is used to place rampant soldiers. The rampant soldiers trained and trained by the ghost control wizard are stationed in this altar. One of the horns and the command flag is used to summon the rampant soldiers, and the other One is to command rampant troops..."
;;;;Zeng Congzhang explained the uses of the three supernatural items to Qin Shaoyou.
;;;;"Although you have these three supernatural items in hand, if you want to summon and command rampant soldiers, you must master the relevant methods. Unfortunately, our Jade Emperor Temple does not have the method of using rampant soldiers. You We can only see if there is any content on this in the collection of books in the Demon Suppression Department."
;;;;Qin Shaoyou thought to himself, isn't this a coincidence? The newly opened Four Ghost Pills have the effect of commanding and controlling rampant soldiers. They are a professional counterpart to these three supernatural items.
;;;;Taoist Master Zeng Cong didn't know what he was thinking, so he gave another suggestion: "By the way, you can give the altar to Cai Chenghuang and ask him to help you place it in the Chenghuang Temple. Do this. , firstly, you can let Cai Chenghuang and others help you keep an eye on the rampant soldiers in the altar to prevent them from sneaking out and hurting people. Secondly, the incense in the Chenghuang Temple can also help the rampant soldiers lose their evil nature and improve their strength. , or even become a formal Yin soldier in the underworld. When the time comes, you don’t have to worry about damaging your Yin virtue when you use them, and methods such as exterminating evil and suppressing demons will not cause harm to them. "
;;;;This is not bad. Qin Shaoyou's eyes lit up, but he also had a doubt.
;;;;"Placing the altar in Cai Guizhong's Chenghuang Temple will affect the summoning and use of rampant soldiers? After all, we may not return to Mianyuan County in the future, we will only walk farther and farther away from it. "
;;;;"No." Master Zeng Cong shook his head, "Bring the horn and flag with you. As long as you master the method of mobilizing rampant soldiers, you can blow the horn to summon them and wave the flag to command them. , distance is not a problem.”
;;;;"That's good."
;;;;Qin Shaoyou immediately decided that after picking out the equipment and supernatural items, he would hand the altar to Cai Guizhong and ask him to take it back to the Chenghuang Temple to receive the baptism of incense.
;;;;While talking, the two came to the arsenal in the city and began to select equipment. After finishing, he rushed to the Demon Suppression Department and the military's spiritual room. Finally, he took a list and a cart of equipment and returned to the resting point under the city tower.
;;;;Considering that he was going to Qingtang soon, the equipment Qin Shaoyou chose was all Qingtang style.
;;;;In addition to weapons, armor, and hidden weapons for killing enemies, there are also many things used for investigation, concealment, and agency layout.
;;;;These equipment will also be modified by the two Taoist priests Zeng Cong and Tu Huang to further enhance their power and effect.
;;;;As for the supernatural objects, although Qin Shaoyou really wanted to empty out the spiritual objects room here, in order to reverse his reputation, he resisted the impulse and carefully discussed with Taoist Master Zeng Cong about what he might encounter during this trip. According to the situation, several targeted supernatural items were selected.
;;;;So Qi Longfei was a little surprised when he saw the list made by Qin Shaoyou.
;;;;"Just a few pieces?"
;;;; He didn’t believe there were so few, so he turned over and looked at the back of the list, thinking that the back was full of pages. However, there was nothing written on the back, so he asked, “Did a page fall off of your list?”
;;;;"There are no missing pages, that's all." Qin Shaoyao said, "I choose supernatural items based on the mission. I only look at whether they will be used, not the quantity."
;;;;Hearing this, Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma, who were not far away, turned their heads to the side.
;;;;Qi Longfei didn't notice their little moves and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the rumors cannot be fully believed."
;;;;Immediately he said: "I have approved all the supernatural items you want. I will go to the spiritual object room in person later to see if there are any suitable for you, and I will approve them all for you. Bring it with you.”
;;;;Qin Shaoyou thanked him and went to the resting place. He first handed the altar to Cai Guizhong and explained the whole story, and then continued to activate the Xuanwu Zhengong and the breathing method to restore the depleted blood.
;;;; He is not in a hurry to cook, because the new dishes now available, except for the ghost oil, which can be cooked immediately, are short of ingredients, so it is better to wait.
;;;;Zeng Cong and Tuhuang, the two Taoist priests, seized the time and began to improve their weapons and equipment.
;;;;Seeing this, Qi Longfei sent for several military craftsmen from Qingtang Guard and asked them to cooperate with Zeng Cong and Tuhuang to help them in order to save time and speed up the transformation.
;;;;When it was almost dawn, Qin Qiaoer brought her men who were good at torture and Taoist Qiu Shi and returned from interrogating the prisoners.
;;;;In her hand, she held a piece of information that had just been tortured, ready for Qin Shaoyou and others to memorize it.
;;;;However, at this moment, Qi Longfei hurried over with supernatural items and the ingredients Qin Shaoyou wanted to find them.
;;;;"The situation has changed, you must leave for Qingtang now."
