Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, all kinds of supernatural tools used by mages are called magic tools - even the weakest folk monks may not have any magic power, so they hold them in their hands to pretend to be gods and ghosts.
But in fact, in the eyes of Xuanmen people. Things that can truly be called [magical weapons] are not simple things!
Not only does it require extremely complex secret methods to perform sacrifices, but it also requires long-term training with the user in order to possess all kinds of incredible abilities.
The method of refining magic weapons is itself a precious secret skill in the entire Xuanmen world! Not too many people know it.
And most of them are relatively simple - such as Yuan Fei's ghost chopping stick, Li Miao's corpse fishing rope, etc. Although it is also an algorithm, its level is relatively low.
Of course, in addition to the method of sacrificial refining... if an instrument is used frequently in the hands of a practitioner, it will last for a long time.
This instrument will have some kind of magical connection with the practitioner, and eventually it will be nurtured into a powerful magic weapon without going through sacrifices - such as the phoenix rope and phoenix stick used by Lao Cao to carry the coffin.
Li Miao spoke slowly, seeming to be caught up in the memories of his youth, and his tone became a little distant...
"The Lianghe Zhenhe Order is the core of the Zhenhe Iron Monument outside Lianghe Town."
"The iron stele of Zhenhe is seven feet high, three feet long and wide. There is a hollow in the center as big as a human head, and inside it is a secret order to Zhenhe, which embodies the wishes of the people of Li, the aspirations of the county officials, and the Dharma Qi of the practitioners. Only then can we calm the river and relieve the disaster."
"The Zhenhe Order uses jet black cast iron as the main material, smelts various metal ores, and then engraves special runes. At the bottom of the Zhenhe Order, there is a small fish-shaped relief - this is because legend has it that since ancient times, people in Fu The river god in the Chuanjiang Basin section of Beixian County is a big fish!"
"So below the River Zhenling Order, there is a seal carved with a fish shape. It symbolizes being intimidated and intimidated by this River Zhenling Order. As long as the River Zhenling Order and the River Zhenhe Iron Stele are still there. That is the Chuanjiang River God in this area and the nearby ones. The people of Li have reached a balanced agreement..."
After Li Miao finished speaking, he looked at the small black iron plate in my hand.
I quickly turned it over and got closer to my eyes.
Look at the bottom carefully.
"Yes! Sure enough, there is a very small fish-shaped relief. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it."
I spotted the fish relief and blurted out in surprise.
Li Miao said with a smile.
"Actually, if you don't know the reason for these very details, you may not be able to find them. Moreover, the fish-shaped relief itself is much smaller than a mosquito. It is easy to ignore it."
According to his description, there is an 80% chance that the iron plate in my hand is the Two Rivers Zhenhe Order that disappeared back then!
However, new questions have arisen...
Why would such a precious and magical thing fall into the hands of an unknown evil cultivator?
After it fell into the hands of this person, why did he go to great lengths to place it underground on the hill behind Lianghe District Middle School? And also use the Feng Shui pattern of "Eight Evil Yellow Springs" to continuously nourish it...
Finally, it fell into our hands!
I played with the Zhenhe Ling in my hand and looked at Li Miao and asked.
"Brother Li, this River Suppressing Order...if viewed as a magical weapon, what specific magical effects does it have?"
Uh, this...
Li Miao was stunned, as if he didn't know how to answer my question.
He scratched his head and answered helplessly.
"Actually, although my master kept talking about this thing during his lifetime. I also checked a lot of classics and information, and also communicated with other corpse collectors. But no one could explain the reason."
"In general, the River Suppression Order is mainly used to suppress the river water and deter the river god. I really can't think of a specific practical effect at the moment?"
"Oh, if you carry the River Suppressing Order with you, the safety of the corpse fishermen will be greatly improved. Most of the dead corpses and river spirits will not dare to approach. Does this effect count?"
I nodded vigorously.
"Forget it! Of course it does."
At this time, Lao Cao was also patting me on the shoulder.
"It seems that Brother Li has solved most of the mysteries for us. If there are more details and secrets, do you still have to go back and ask Qin Xiangu?"
All right……
It seems that I still need to ask my master again in the end.
"Brother Li, thank you very much! Since this piece of river-suppressing water order is what you corpse fishermen have always hoped to get. And it is also what your master thinks about day and night. Then I will take it back and ask my master to know the details. After using it, I’ll give it to you!”
What? !
Li Miao was a little surprised when he heard this.
He probably didn't expect that I would give him such a precious thing!
He quickly waved his hands and said.
"No, no, brother Wu, this is too precious! And this is something that you have earned through life and death. How can you give it to me if I have no merit and no reward?"
I said with a smile.
"Brother Li, since we are good friends, there is no need to say such things. Although this thing is indeed precious, how can I have the nerve to keep it in my own hands after knowing its origins with you, the corpse collectors?"
Li Miao smiled bitterly.
"Even if I really want this river-suppressing order - after all, it is my master's long-cherished wish during his lifetime. But again, if you want me to accept your gift in vain, I will not be able to get over this hurdle in my heart. Or even more serious. , will become inner demons and have a huge impact on future spiritual progress."
That's right...
After listening to Li Miao's words, I also felt that giving it "for free" seemed a bit abrupt.
After thinking for a while, he had an idea in his mind and said to him.
"Brother Li, how about this? I'll go back with this river-suppressing order and ask my master if there are any secrets or conspiracies hidden in it. If she thinks it's okay, I'll bring it back to you."
"Then in return, Brother Li, you must promise that when Lao Cao and I need it in the future, you must go all out to help! At least, the level of effort must be worthy of the value of this river suppression order. What do you think?"
Li Miao's expression was a little strange, he said.
"Isn't this the same as taking credit? In our business as a corpse collector, credit is the worst thing to do."
I laughed.
"That's because no one else can credit the corpse collector, but it doesn't mean that the corpse collector cannot be credited."
After saying that, Lao Cao and Xiao Yuan also laughed...
So, let’s just say this is settled for now.
The order of Zhenhe will be kept here by Li Miao for the time being. I will come again after the holiday on Friday. Take it and take it back to Wujiacun to show it to my master.
…
We chatted with Li Miao until late at night, about three o'clock in the morning.
Our clothes are almost dry, and we are almost done resting. Then I said goodbye to him, left the small wooden house by the river, and returned to Lao Cao's coffin shop.
Get ready for bed!
I know very well that when I arrive at school early tomorrow morning, I will definitely be chased by Dachun, Yao Nan, Zeng Jin and the others and ask them about the whole process that happened tonight... I guess they will be yelling and irritating again, right?
