Volume 5: Chu Ming 518: Cold Water Pool (10)(1/2)
Yanxuan and Tang Ping suddenly noticed that Lu Pingchuan had begun to bend down and carefully groped each corpse regardless of the putrid smell of the corpses. The two women felt a sense of discomfort and shock at the same time. Tang Ping frowned and asked
road:
"Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
At this time, Lu Pingchuan had already touched all the corpses. When he straightened up, he threw a few storage bags in his hands for Tang Ping and Yanxuan to see, and then said:
"Hey, the people who killed them didn't care about their belongings. Although these casual cultivators stink, the spiritual stones inside won't stink. It would be a pity to throw them here."
Then he opened the storage bags one by one and looked at the dead bodies at the feet of the five people. The smell of decay was strong, but Lu Pingchuan didn't care about it. This scene made Tang Ping and Yan Xuan feel chills.
, couldn't help but frowned.
Lu Pingchuan has no taboos by nature, so he doesn't care about this. He picked through the casual cultivator's storage bag and said:
"Hey, these guys have a lot of things, but not many spiritual stones. It seems that they are all poor people, but there are a lot of messy things. What are these, Brother Qian, come and see
Let’s see if there’s anything we can use.”
Lu Pingchuan said and handed the storage bags in his hand to Qian Chao.
Qian Chao's expression changed after he took it and looked down at it. Then he turned over some of the storage bags and shook them with their mouths facing the ground. As a sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ling, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, tingling, etc., Qian Chao's face changed.
The spirit sword bounced and scattered on the ground, which aroused the curiosity of Li Jian, Yanxuan and Tang Ping. They didn't know why Qian Chao did this, so they all looked at the ground.
Those spirit swords that Qian Chao fell to the ground looked like ordinary spirit swords, nothing special, but Qian Chao frowned, lowered his head and looked at it carefully, with a look of disgust on his face. He didn't even bother to use his hands.
Straightening her waist, she gently kicked around the pile of spiritual swords with her feet, identifying them one by one. Tang Ping couldn't help but look at Qian Chao, and then she noticed the blue light shining in his two eyes.
, has obviously opened up his "blue eye technique".
After watching it for a while, Qian Chao snorted and said:
"Huh, it's not unjust that these casual cultivators died. These are all evil weapons on the ground. It seems that among these guys, except for those who are good at refining this object, they use this object. The refining of the evil sword requires the soul of the monk, so
There were so many evil swords, I didn’t know how many people were going to be killed at the beginning, they deserved this retribution, alas! Brother Lu, you can’t keep these things, just destroy them.”
"Hey, at first I thought these boys were a little unlucky, but now I think they deserve to die in this damn place, huh!"
As Lu Pingchuan spoke, he also used his feet to gather the evil swords together, then raised his big feet and stamped them down hard. He was a physical practitioner, and there were no restrictions on them in the third level of the cold pool.
Big, you can use some means, so with that heavy step
Under the harsh and unpleasant sound, sparks shot out from under Lu Pingchuan's feet, and those evil swords were broken by the steps. Suddenly, there was a sound like a ghost crying and wolf howling coming from a very far distance, and a thick smoke as black as ink appeared.
It surged out from under Lu Pingchuan's feet and then gradually dissipated.
They had seen similar scenes before, so they all knew that the dissipating black mist-like thing was the soul of the monk sealed in the evil sword.
"There are more," Qian Chao said again, then took out a stack of talisman papers from a storage bag, shook them to several companions, and said, "These are the so-called dirty talismans."
The so-called dirty talismans, all four of them had heard Qian Chao talk about them before. There are methods for refining evil weapons in the art of weapon refining, such as those evil swords that were just destroyed by Lu Pingchuan.
The soul is sealed in it to increase its power,
In other words, to refine an evil sword, you have to kill an innocent monk. The same is true for the dirty talismans in the talismans. There are also formations on the talismans to seal the souls of the monks. Such talismans are more common than ordinary ones.
The power of the talisman is much greater.
The orthodox way to enhance the power of a talisman is to grind some suitable gems into fine powder, mix it with cinnabar, and then mix it with spiritual tea water. The power of the talisman made with this can be more powerful. This is what Qian Chao used.
method.
Of course, using orthodox methods to make powerful talismans is more expensive. Cinnabar is only the most basic base material. Those gems are the ones that are truly hard to find and have the highest value. Therefore, the further the talismans are advanced, the more powerful the talismans are.
The more valuable they become, even some high-level talismans can only be made once or twice by some talisman masters in their lifetime.
The cost of making a dirty talisman is just to kill a few monks and take their souls. The more powerful the dirty talisman, the souls of monks with advanced cultivation or the souls of a large number of ordinary monks are blocked. In short, the talisman for making the dirty talisman is
The teacher will always find a way.
Both methods can enhance the effect of the talisman, but one is good and the other is evil.
This was the first time for several people to see the dirty talisman. Out of curiosity, they all reached out and took one from Qian Chao's hand to take a closer look. There were all the unintelligible runes on it.
These people all have Qian Chao's talisman, such as Qian Chao's incarnation talisman. They all got a lot of it from Qian Chao, and they all know how to use it, so they all know what Qian Chao's talisman looks like when they hold it in their hands.
The feeling, in fact, is that there is no feeling. But holding the dirty talisman in your hand is very different from Qian Chao's talisman. It always feels a little palpitating.
Although those winding runes were incomprehensible, the ink stains left behind were not vermilion like Qian Chao's runes but black-red, with a faint smell of blood. Tang Ping couldn't help but put the ink in her hands.
She brought the talisman to the tip of her nose to smell it, but under the strong smell of corruption, she felt as if she had lost her sense of smell. She could only look at Qian Chao in confusion and asked:
"This talisman..."
Qian Chao guessed Tang Ping's question by looking at her actions, nodded and said:
"It's blood. Well, if my guess is correct, each of these dirty talismans was made using different monks' essence and blood. The same monk's soul and the same monk's blood and essence were used to create the dirty talismans in this way.
It's the most powerful thing, but it's just too vicious."
Originally, Yanxuan wanted to imitate Tang Ping and take a sniff, but when he heard what Qian Chao said, he stopped immediately and hurriedly returned the one in his hand to Qian Chao.
Qian Chao took back all the dirty talismans one by one and said:
"You can't keep this thing."
After saying that, he put a large pile of dirty talismans in his hand on the ground aside, then took a few steps back, and threw a "Wildfire Talisman" over, and a fire immediately ignited. What is surprising is that those
When the talisman burned, the flames turned black and red, and thick black smoke shot up.
Tang Ping covered her mouth and nose with her skirt sleeves, looked up, sighed and said:
"This is indeed a place where casual cultivators and evil cultivators gather. There is a mess of everything."
Qian Chao took out some things from those storage bags and said:
"Today is really an eye-opener. Come on, there is something even more strange. Let's see what this is?"
This time Qian Chao took out several transparent crystal bottles. The workmanship of the bottles was very exquisite. They were shaped like a big belly and a small mouth. The thin mouth of the bottle had a cork stopper, and the mouth of each bottle had a
A talisman is used to seal the mouth of the bottle. The bottles are transparent, so you can clearly see the inside. Inside these crystal bottles, there is about half a bottle of something like light green smoke tumbling back and forth.
.
Li Jian knew what it was with just a quick glance, and couldn't help but frown heavily.
Tang Ping, Yan Xuan and Lu Pingchuan couldn't recognize it for a moment, so they got closer and took a closer look.
Seeing this, Qian Chao said softly:
"Inside every little bottle, there was once a human life!"
"What!" Tang Ping understood now. She looked at Qian Chao with wide eyes and asked in surprise, "Is this... the soul of a monk?"
When she said this, Yanxuan and Lu Pingchuan both understood and were immediately surprised. Yanxuan backed away in shock, while Lu Pingchuan moved closer to take a closer look.
Then Lu Pingchuan also asked:
"Is this what a monk's soul looks like? Why were all the things that appeared just now black?"
Qian Chao said:
"This is what the unused soul looks like. The talisman at the mouth of the bottle is to prevent the soul inside from escaping. Well, some people refine evil weapons and some make dirty talismans, so someone will provide the souls of monks to these people.
have a look!"
As Qian Chao spoke, he began to take out such crystal bottles from one of the storage bags. Each bottle had a talisman attached to its mouth. Crystals like this could be found in several storage bags.
After a while, the tide of money stopped. When I looked again, there were nearly a hundred such crystal bottles piled on the ground. It was really a big pile. It was so bright in the cave.
Under the bright light, the crystal bottle sparkled, but after knowing what was inside, I felt that this scene was a bit scary. After all, nearly a hundred monks who did not know their gender, their faces, or their names had long ago not known where the bones were.
, but their souls were taken away and brought here, either to refine evil weapons or to make dirty talismans.
Yanxuan was stunned. Each bottle contained a human life. The number of these bottles in front of her...if those people were standing here, they would be a large, dark group. She couldn't help but exclaimed:
"So many! Who...can these people be?"
"Alas," Tang Ping sighed, "who knows? In the world of spiritual practice, not to mention those casual religious societies disappearing for no reason, even some disciples from aristocratic families who go out may never come back. This is often the case.
thing."
Li Jian looked at the crystal bottles piled on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"It's really not peaceful in this world of cultivation! So many people died in vain just for the selfish interests of some guys. Huh, in the future, when the foundation builders can go out, if you encounter guys who do this kind of business, you will never let go if you can kill them!
"
Lu Pingchuan also said:
"That's right! Hey, Brother Qian, what should I do with the contents in these bottles?"
"Pull out the stopper, or simply smash the bottle and let the soul inside dissipate on its own."
"Well, I'll do it!"
After Lu Pingchuan finished speaking, there was a loud crashing sound, and as the crystal bottles shattered, a burst of green smoke rose up and then disappeared.
After such a fuss, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan almost ignored the strong smell of corruption here. When they looked away from the dissipated smoke, they saw Qian Chao rummaging through the storage bags.
"Is there anything else?" Yanxuan asked.
"Of course," Qian Chao said, taking out a few small red bottles and showing them to Yanxuan, "Hey, guess what these are?"
