Chapter 25 Selecting Weapons
Qiao Niannian glanced at the scales in her hand: "It should be the scales left by the snake demon who just transformed."
Wang Xuanzhi was shocked: "You mean the snake demon?"
There have been no monsters in the Great Xia Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Since the first emperor unified the world and established the Great Xia Dynasty, the country has been peaceful and the people have lived and worked in peace. Monsters no longer dare to appear easily.
There are records of several times when monsters appeared in history books, basically when the emperor was unkind, the government was in turmoil, and the dynasty was about to fall.
How could a monster appear in the Great Xia Dynasty?
Wang Xuanzhi looked solemn.
Qiao Niannian said seriously: "This snake demon can transform, it is lucky. You know, it is very difficult for a demon to become a human. Most demons will die in this disaster, but this snake demon has encountered a great opportunity."
"But this opportunity is also a disaster for the snake demon. It must have encountered a natural enemy when it was transforming. Fortunately, it did not die and the transformation was successful. Now in order to maintain its life, it needs to absorb the Yin energy of young girls."
"Are these three girls all born in the Yin year, Yin month and Yin hour?"
Before Xing Zhongqiu spoke, Wang Xuanzhi spoke: "Yes, I checked the birthdays of several people, and they were born in the Yin year, Yin month and Yin hour."
Qiao Niannian nodded: "That's right, snakes are Yin in nature, and girls born in the Yin year, Yin month and Yin hour are the best tonic for injured snake demons."
Xing Zhongqiu said directly: "Is it possible to solve it?"
Xia Rongyu cleared his throat: "Although this snake demon is injured, it is still a demon after all, so it must be difficult to deal with."
Qiao Niannian: ...
"Oh, yes, this snake demon has cultivated to the Tao, it is indeed a bit tricky!"
It happened that she wanted to help her eldest brother pick something to keep him safe, and the magic weapon was naturally the best choice.
"This..." Xing Zhongqiu was upright and never did those twists and turns. He thought Qiao Niannian was really embarrassed, and couldn't help but cast his eyes on Wang Xuanzhi.
Wang Xuanzhi was also startled: "Those three girls are not dead!"
Xing Zhongqiu was also panicked.
One of the girls who was possessed by the evil spirit was the granddaughter of the old Taifu of the current dynasty.
This old Taifu was a veteran of three dynasties. When he was young, he was the teacher of the emperor, and later served as the teacher of the current emperor. Now he is the teacher of the prince.
The old tutor had only one son, and the son had only one daughter, whom he loved like a pearl.
If the person was already dead, how could he explain to the old tutor?
Wang Xuanzhi was also a little nervous. He was urgently recalled by the emperor to deal with this matter. When he came out of Yu's study, the old tutor was still crying in front of the emperor!
The old man was very stubborn. If he knew that his granddaughter was in trouble, he would fight him to death.
Seeing the two people so scared, Qiao Niannian cleared her throat and said, "Don't worry! I'm here, this matter can be solved."
"It's just that my spiritual power is damaged now, and I don't have the right tools, so it's not easy to catch monsters..."
Xia Rongyu continued with Qiao Niannian's words: "Miss Qiao, don't worry, there are a lot of good things in the prison, just go and pick a few."
Wang Xuanzhi: ...
No, the way this matter develops seems to be a little wrong.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong.
After all, Qiao Niannian does need tools to catch monsters.
Wang Xuanzhi waved his hand: "Let's go pick things now, as long as it can be used, take whatever you want."
So, the group got on the carriage and came to Qintian Prison.
Qintianjian is located in a high-rise building on the east side of the imperial palace. It is the tallest building in the capital. Looking up, it is towering into the clouds.
This is the most mysterious department of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is directly managed by the emperor and is responsible for astrology, guarding the fate of the dynasty, and secretly handling some ghosts and evil events.
Entering Qintianjian, you will see two guards in gray Taoist robes. When they see Wang Xuanzhi and his party, they salute respectfully.
Wang Xuanzhi waved his hand and took Qiao Niannian directly into the door.
This door is similar to a manual elevator. When people enter, a special person turns the handle to drive the door up and down, and they can stop at the floor they want to go to.
The floor where Wang Xuanzhi is is the highest point of Qintianjian, the eighteenth floor.
Several people entered the 18th floor and came to a private vault under the leadership of Wang Xuanzhi.
This is Wang Xuanzhi's collection for many years. Usually, only the most capable disciples who made great contributions have the opportunity to come here to feast their eyes.
Wang Xuanzhi took Qiao Niannian and Xia Rongyu in. Xing Zhongqiu was not interested in these things and stayed outside.
Wang Xuanzhi's private vault collection is indeed rich. Those hanging on the wall, placed on the shelf, and specially placed in the box are all magic tools.
Wang Xuanzhi introduced it to Qiao Niannian.
"Look at this Tai Chi Buddha Dust, it is engraved with the Qingxin Mantra, which can protect you from ghosts and evil spirits. What do you think?"
Qiao Niannian's eyes fell on the Buddha Dust and thought it was okay.
The handle of this Buddha Dust is black and made of top-grade black mahogany. There is also a formation carved on it, which adds spirituality to the Buddha Dust. It is considered a good magic weapon.
Wang Xuanzhi saw that Qiao Niannian didn't like it very much, so he took out a compass from the shelf beside him.
"This is a five-star compass, which can check the gods and ghosts in the sky and calculate the five elements..."
Qiao Niannian took a look and still shook her head.
"This is the Three Pure Ones Diamond Bell, which can command hundreds of ghosts..."
Qiao Niannian continued to shake her head.
"This Five Thunder Sword has a strong attack power to drive away ghosts and kill demons..."
This time, Qiao Niannian didn't even need to speak, Wang Xuanzhi automatically introduced the next treasure.
"This Panlong Order is also very good, it can call the wind and rain..."
These collections are his most precious ones, but Qiao Niannian doesn't like them all.
Xia Rongyu glanced at the things in the warehouse and looked at Wang Xuanzhi: "Lord Jianzheng can't be so stingy that he can't even take out the collections!"
Wang Xuanzhi almost got angry.
If it were someone else, he would definitely be reluctant to give up these good things, but Qiao Niannian is different. He is very talented and has powerful magic. How could he be reluctant to give up a collection?
Although he has a lot of collections, the magic tools he chooses must be compatible with the owner, otherwise they will just be left here to gather dust.
The few he introduced were all magic tools that had been used by people with strong mystical skills. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually said that he didn't take out any collections. He
was simply wronging him.
Xia Rongyu met Wang Xuanzhi's accusing eyes and comforted him: "It seems that you really don't have any. I will go back and pick two magic tools from the National Master and send them to you."
Wang Xuanzhi felt that he was stabbed in the heart.
It hurt.
But he still endured the pain and agreed.
If we talk about the most powerful person in the Great Xia Dynasty, it has to be the National Master. Since
ancient times, the National Master has a high status and is very mysterious. No one knows where the National Master came from. They only know that if the country is destroyed, the National Master will die, and if the country survives, the National Master will survive.
That is to say, the longer the dynasty where the imperial master is located can exist, the longer the imperial master can live. The previous Zhou
Dynasty collapsed three hundred years after its establishment.
The imperial master of the Zhou Dynasty was powerless to save the country and committed suicide on the city wall. That year, the imperial master of the Zhou Dynasty was three hundred years old.
Later, the ancestors of the Great Xia Dynasty quelled the war and established a new dynasty.
In the thirteenth year of the dynasty, a child holding the imperial master's golden seal entered the palace to meet the emperor and became the imperial master of the new dynasty. It is said that the imperial master was exactly thirteen years old, the same age as the dynasty.
Wang Xuanzhi didn't know how profound the imperial master's Taoism was, but he had a lot of good things in his hands.
"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, I will keep it in mind."
