"Horcrux" was a stepping stone, and Wen Shuanglu met Wei Shiqi as he wished. Rainbow.com is with you all the way! ..
Wei Shiqi was a burly and silent man. The vitality of life penetrated his skin and hair, rushing towards his face, giving him an indescribable shock and fear.
Wen Shuanglu felt that there was no way to escape, and his mind went blank. He calmed down, bowed in greeting, omitted unnecessary greetings and temptations, and told the truth about his origins and purpose of coming.
In the land of the Southern Barbarians, most of the monks came from the Poison Dragon Sect, the Beast King Sect, and the Soul-Yielding Sect. Wen Shuanglu was a disciple of the Soul-Yielding Sect in his early years, and later joined the Beast King Sect. By chance, he became the sect leader along the way, and he was considered the number one in the Southern Barbarians. figure. He was once ambitious, intending to annex the declining Soul-Yuing Sect, and use it as a starting point to achieve great things. Unfortunately, he was frustrated at the first step. A centipede insect can die but not stiff. The Soul-Yiying Sect is not that easy to deal with. Poisonous Dragon The teacher was watching with eager eyes. If Wen Shuanglu hadn't stopped early, he might have ended up "making wedding clothes for others".
After this setback, Wen Shuanglu sized up the situation, gave up the idea of unifying the southern barbarians, and turned his attention to the hinterland of the Central Plains. He once visited Liantao City, and his horizons were opened. The system of Siyan and Zhiku was like a light, illuminating the ancient well that had been silent for thousands of years. However, "guests" are "guests" after all. Taiyizong was too shrewd and left no room for anything. He took all kinds of exploitation to the extreme and made it clear that the carriages and horses regarded them as outsiders and left them with very few opportunities. Wen Shuanglu could only stay in the same place. Profiting from the "outsider" group, the income was extremely limited. Disappointed, he sadly retreated to the Southern Barbarians.
When the news of Taiyi Sect's annihilation reached the Southern Barbarians, he couldn't help but sigh. Such a powerful sect was destroyed in one fell swoop, leaving nothing behind. Lian Tao City's various attempts, whether successful or failed, eventually became a dead ringer. No one has such a big mind or such a generous hand.
Not long after, he heard from his friend Ji Fantian that the Kunlun Sect built Chixing City in Huzigou. The outer city was secular and the inner city was fairyland. Immortals and mortals lived together. The shape was roughly similar to Liantao City. The monks of the former Taiyizong Fenglei Hall became Houte came to invite them and invited them to watch the ceremony.
At first, Wen Shuanglu didn't take it seriously. Scarlet Star City was at best a replica of Liantao City, except that the black-hearted man behind the scenes was replaced by Kunlun. However, Ji Fantian was quite tempted and insisted on going there, leaving him with nothing to do. Something happened, so he went together to join in the fun.
It was only when he arrived at Huzigou that he realized that the inner city of Dongming had not yet been built and was only in name. However, the design of the Red Star Gongde Hall allowed him to see changes that were different from those of Liantao City. A seemingly idle move had come to fruition. Throughout the game, he realized the key, and his admiration for the city lord was like a torrential river, endless.
As for the warehouse, gambling house and casino, although they are the top priority for the growth of Dongming City, they are not indispensable. Including Siyan, there is room for substitution. The only indispensable one is the Red Star Merit Hall.
Wen Shuanglu stayed at the Red Star Hall of Merit day and night, observing its operation, reviewing and recording every commission, and discovered some interesting things from each trivial transaction.
Chenghou once let it slip, maybe even he didn't realize it. He said that Jin Xiaodie was working as a handyman for Feng Huang, and when the shop opened, the utensils made by Feng Huang would also be sold at a reasonable price. .
Over the years, Jin Xiaodie has issued long-term commissions through the Red Star Merit Hall and has collected a large amount of spirits, demon pills, animal skins, animal sinews, animal bones, ores, and wood. Among them, the demand for spirits and demon pills is particularly huge, accumulating to an unimaginable amount. It is said that such a large investment must yield results, but there have never been any artifacts made by Feng Huang for sale on the market, not even one.
There are two possibilities. One is that the artifacts made by Feng Huang are not sold to the outside world and are eaten by the sect through some secret channels. The other is that Feng Huang is testing a brand-new artifact and keeps it secret. Even if it is successful, it will not be announced. Can't flow into the house.
Wen Shuanglu was more inclined to the second possibility.
Having said this, he noticed a smile on Wei Shiqi's face, and he knew he had made the right bet.
He went on.
Wen Shuanglu was born in the Soul-Yuing Sect. He was originally the illegitimate son of the Elder of the Soul-Yuing Sect. He had been frail and sick since childhood. He liked to read and had a photographic memory. He was not accepted by his fellow sect, so he switched to the Beast King Sect. From disciple to sect leader, the experience was shocking, heart-wrenching, exciting, and touching, but Wen Shuanglu estimated that the other party would not be interested in listening to his ramblings and just passed it by.
Love to read and have a photographic memory, this is the key. Wen Shuanglu had privately read through the classics collected by the Soul-Yiushi Sect. These classics were still fragments of lost volumes that the founders of the past generations had painstakingly collected, and no one paid any attention to them on weekdays. One of the volumes mentioned that the Soul-Yiushi Sect had a method of smelting soul weapons. The secret technique is to melt the demon elixir into the body of the device to form a "virtual position". A "virtual position" can absorb a soul.
Wen Shuanglu speculated from this that Feng Huang was trying to use secret techniques to smelt a Horcrux, and it was not an ordinary Horcrux, but most likely a "Hundred Phase" that contained hundreds of spirits.
Although there is a slight deviation, it is not far from the truth. Wei Shiqi raised his eyes to look at him and asked: "So, what do you think?"
"I want to join in." Wen Shuanglu plucked up the courage, took out a stack of ink-stained papers from his arms, bound them into a book, and presented them with both hands, "This is the secret technique and experience of smelting soul weapons of the Yihun Sect. I remember They are all here, please give me some advice from the city lord."
Hearing that Shuanglu's move was tantamount to selling himself, Wei Shiqi took it in his hand, turned it over a little, and said: "Okay, you go and wait for the news. If Feng Huang thinks it is feasible, you can stay."
Wen Shuanglu was overjoyed and said: "Thank you City Lord for making it possible!"
Wei Shiqi waved his hand and asked him to do what he wanted. Wen Shuanglu carefully stepped out, looking at the dazzling sky and feeling dizzy. Dongming City has a bright future, and it is not too difficult to join now. In a few years, a Nanman monk like him who has no foothold may not even have a chance to self-recommend, and will only be drowned in the crowd and depressed for the rest of his life.
He was not willing to accept that kind of fate.
Wei Shiqi read the brochure presented by Wen Shuanglu from beginning to end. Although there was not much novelty, it filled up a lot of common sense about "horcruxes".
For example, one of the articles mentioned that the soul weapon was made by the ancient monk "Soul Refining Divine Weapon". The soul eyes opened can be divided into "virtual position", "virtual acupoint" and "virtual orifice". The virtual position can only accommodate one soul, and the virtual acupoint can only hold one soul. It can accommodate dozens of spirits, and the virtual orifice can accommodate hundreds of spirits. In other words, the "Ten Phases" Horcrux opens "virtual acupoints", and the "Hundred Phases" Horcrux opens "virtual apertures."
After flipping through the book, he called Xiao Bai and ordered her to hand it over to Feng Huang for him to make a decision. Finally, he said, he is a smart man with a lot of scheming. If he comes in handy, he will use it. If not, he will kill him. he.
Xiaobai said: "You can decide whether it can be used or not. Why should you consider Feng Huang?"
Wei Shiqi said: "I also want to see if Feng Huang can be of great use on his own."
Xiaobai was quite surprised, paused, became curious, and asked: "So over the years, who do you think can be of great use?"
"Cao Jinren, Cheng Hou, Ghost King, plus you."
The true identity of the Ghost King is very secret, and Xiaobai has never seen him. She also recognizes the abilities of Cao and Cheng. Chen Suzhen, as a female cultivator, is a bit aloof, but after all she has some shortcomings, but Wei Shiqi does not Qin Zhen and Yu Yao were not mentioned, which surprised her.
"Where are daughters Qin and Yu?"
"The temperament is a bit worse." Wei Shiqi added in his heart. In a sense, they are closer to "home girls".
"Where's Elder Ruan?"
Wei Shiqi glanced at her and said, "Don't get me wrong. She is a thick leg that I managed to hold in my arms. It's not easy to support her. Is it possible that I still assign her to do this and that?"
Xiaobai burst out laughing, her flowers trembling with laughter. Back in Jie Tianling, it was she who personally advised Wei Shiqi to stick to Ruan Jing and live a good life. Recalling the past, it was like a dream.
This little joke diluted the indifference of "kill him" and made her feel warm and friendly.
