in the edge

Chapter 201 The legacy of the past

Looking at the sharpened hoe and shovel heads in his hands, and then at Yu Laoer beside him, Du Chengfeng sighed and patted the other party's shoulder.

"what happened?"

Yu Laoer was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what Du Chengfeng was causing.

But Du Chengfeng just shook his head.

"It's nothing."

Patting Yu Laoer's shoulder again, Du Chengfeng shook his head and sighed.

After thinking about it, he still did not say the real last words of Old Yutou. Although in theory, Yu Laoer did have the right to know the last words his father said before he died, but if he wants to treat his father as a hero, A man who knows that his old father is really crazy is still a little too cruel.

So Du Chengfeng was going to put this matter aside for a while and see what the so-called treasure was.

Of course, this does not mean that he should keep silent about the so-called treasure, but that the "treasure in the mountains" is really a bit too evil. Looking at the old man's lifelong obsession with digging mountains, the so-called treasure It should be buried inside the mountain, but what kind of thing can make people outside go crazy even through the thick mountain?

This is really outrageous. Du Chengfeng has never seen anything so evil.

No, he should have seen it before.

"I'll look for it and remember where I put it..."

With this thought in mind, Du Chengfeng pulled out the saddle bag he was carrying.

The war horse that has been with him for a long time has been buried in the Bone Emperor's Tomb, but at least the saddle bag is still there, and the items in it are still complete, including an old battle flag and a five-foot-long sword, which look very useful at first sight. The retractable spear, the edgeless sword that he stuffed into his bag two days ago...

"found it!"

Opening the compartment of the saddle bag, Du Chengfeng took out the brass magic sword that had fallen into the crack.

He still vaguely remembered that when he was polishing the brass magic sword, he also experienced a relatively special memory. One was the special way of making the magic sword, and the other was when the magic sword was found - The tomb robber who broke into the Taiyin Mountain Temple, later the ancestor of Taiyin Mountain Temple Zhu Zhang Qi, also shouted something like "Baby, baby" when he found the brass magic sword and the two volumes of scriptures. .

"I should remember correctly..."

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng simply sat back on the bench and took care of the brass magic sword again.

The unknown ugly man in green robe, 36 days of crafting, the sword hilt is inscribed with tortoise shell, the sword is engraved with seven stars, a centuries-old turtle sacrificed its blood to the sword, 78 bandits took their lives to open the seal, two volumes of scriptures narrate his experiences, Taiyin Temple Offering incense... During another maintenance, Du Chengfeng once again experienced the memory in this magic sword.

It was obviously a magic sword that killed 78 bandits, but according to the scriptures, it turned into a sword that subdued a hundred thousand evil spirits. And after the tomb robber named Zhang got the magic sword, it actually turned out to be a magic sword. Those two volumes of scriptures created the phantom of the golden-armored god.

This reminded Du Chengfeng of the Chu people's motto.

"A strong will changes everything."

……

……

……

The great Chu of the past had a perfect understanding of the evil spirit of weapons.

In order to understand this cruel power, the Chu people conducted a crazy test. In order to adapt to this ferocious power, the Chu people even developed a matching fighting method. The understanding of the evil spirit can even allow the Chu people to Even after turning into a monster, he could still maintain his sanity and even escape by feigning death through the art of corpse dismemberment. This is enough to show how deeply the Chu people understand the evil spirit of weapons.

So before Chu came to dominate the world, didn't there have any evil weapons?
"There are still."

Under the midnight moonlight, the voice of the gray-black fire phoenix rang in the heart of the elder man of the Li family.

"Things like evil-spirited weapons existed long before the Great Chu conquered the world. The thing you are looking for..."

"You mean Da Chu? Even before Da Chu?"

The elder of the Li family frowned.

"Then when were you born?"

"Is this what I was talking about with you?"

The gray-black fire phoenix became more and more angry. It suddenly felt that maybe it should be possessed by someone else. No matter who it was, it would be good, at least not by this person who would make excuses when he opened his mouth.

But there are no other suitable people for him to possess at the moment. There are not even decent warriors in this barren place - obviously, after experiencing the legal order of the Yu and Chen dynasties, the people are no longer what they used to be. As in the heyday of the Chu people, there were warriors everywhere who dared to fight.

Just like the current Lijia Village, there are so many Dingkou in the village, but they are all ordinary people, and you can't even find anyone who has killed someone.

You can't really possess ordinary people, right?With a body that has no strength at all, what else can it do?
Of course, if it must be said, there is indeed a second warrior in the Li Family Village, and he is a much stronger warrior than the Li Family Dalang.

That is Du Chengfeng.

It was driven all the way here by the other party, so how could it be stupid enough to continue to look for discomfort.

Theoretically speaking, it could have run away now, but Du Chengfeng seemed to have been ill these days and did not continue to chase it. This is a good time to escape from pursuit - but if it is really so empty-handed After escaping, it always felt like something was missing.What's more, he also saw the scene of the sword cutting through the mountain. If the magic weapon was taken away by Du Chengfeng, wouldn't it have no chance of making a comeback?
"So you know that magic weapon... very well?"

Just when the gray-black fire phoenix had just calmed down a bit, the elder man of the Li family spoke again.

"Could it be that you put the magic weapon hidden in the mountain there?"

"Not really, but you can understand it that way."

The gray and black fire phoenix was too lazy to argue, and did not want to waste words with the eldest son of the Li family.

Strictly speaking, he did not release the magic soldiers. After all, it was the Chu people who suppressed these magic soldiers in the past.

It was the time when Chu conquered the world. At that time, Chu was still at its peak, and the Chu people of that era were also full of arrogance - unlike today's mortals who treat a ferocious weapon as a treasure, the Chu people of the past were playing tricks on them. After seeing those magical weapons, the first thing I thought about was not how to use them, but to see which one was stronger compared to their research results.

"We today are not necessarily inferior to the ancients!"

This was the slogan shouted by those Chu people in the past.

Under the guidance of this crazy idea, a large number of surviving magical weapons and treasures were demolished. The Chu people used their hard power to prove that their understanding of evil spirits had indeed surpassed that of the ancients.

However, that’s not how things work out.

As the last descendant of the Chu people and the last seeker of the truth, Gray Black Fire Phoenix knew very well that the Chu people's way of treating those magical weapons and treasures in the past was a bit too rough - when the Chu people were judging the magical weapons and treasures, , there is often only one criterion, and that is destructive power. Those with strong destructive power are good, and those with insufficient destructive power are useless garbage.

After all, weapons are meant to be used to kill people. If you can’t kill people easily, then why should they be called weapons?

The Gray Black Fire Phoenix itself has been affected by this idea, and feels that destructive power is absolute. It is under the guidance of this idea that it has successfully created an unprecedented ultimate weapon - but unfortunately, The humanoid weapon it made with its own hands could not be defeated by the Chu people themselves, and it even turned against it and almost completely wiped out the remaining Chu people.

However, it was precisely because of this opportunity that it learned from the pain, developed the technology of consciousness transfer, and secretly hid its consciousness in the Overlord Halberd passed down from generation to generation by the Chu people, just waiting for the blade to fall into the humanoid weapon. In your hands, you can vacate the cage and change the bird, and embark on the road to heaven that will transform into an immortal.

It succeeded, but it also failed. When it failed, it even lost the Overlord Halberd and was beaten by Du Chengfeng with his sword.

That's why it comes here specifically to pick up trash.

Of course, this garbage was only "not destructive enough" according to the Chu people's standards back then, but now it has long understood that destructive power is not the only criterion - just like the immortal body it built with its own hands , the most valuable thing about that humanoid weapon has never been its power to move mountains and seas, but its perfect adaptability to evil spirits.

"So I should be able to find something that can help..." The gray-black fire phoenix felt a little uneasy. It only remembered that it had seen from the records that there was a bunker left over from the Chu Dynasty in the past. As for this bunker, What exactly was left behind is not very clear.

After all, when it was still a human being, Da Chu had been overthrown by the Yu Dynasty for more than 200 years. If the Chu people had not tried their best to maintain the ancient books, it would not even be able to find this bunker anywhere.

Of course, now I have found it, but there are even more troubles.

First of all, because the time gap is so long, the bunker has been buried in the ground for two or even three dynasties.Secondly, that lunatic named Du Chengfeng suddenly destroyed the mountain with a single blow, and another layer of mountain ruins piled up on the already deeply buried bunker, and was completely buried - but if that was all, It is not a big obstacle to it. Whether you find someone to dig it out or rely on your own invisible advantage to get in, there is always a way.

But in recent days, that lunatic named Du Chengfeng has been lingering on the ruins.

Is this an illness?Or do you see its goal?Or maybe that lunatic named Du Chengfeng also felt the inspiration of the magic weapon?
"You can attract people to dig through a mountain. What kind of good things did our predecessors waste..."

The gray-black fire phoenix felt even more distressed. If the predecessors could have kept these magical weapons and made good use of them, would the Chu people of the past have perished?If the predecessors could have left more things for their descendants, would it have been beaten like this?
You must know that it has become a living immortal, transformed into an immortal fire phoenix, but it is being chased as a chicken. This is simply...

"So, it's up to you."

The gray-black fire phoenix once again spoke in the heart of the Li family elder.

"As promised before, cooperate. You are responsible for guarding the situation above. Don't let anyone, especially those who are capable of fighting at first sight, come and interfere with me. I will be responsible for going down to explore the path and bring the magic weapon treasure." How about bringing the utensils here and each of us taking what we need?"

"..."

The elder of the Li family pondered for a moment, he still didn't quite believe what this big gray and black bird said.

Inexplicably, he taught him a set of halberd skills, and even helped him seize the magic weapon, but the price was just to stand guard for a while to prevent others from approaching - no matter how it sounds, this is only for his own benefit, and this The big gray and black bird gained nothing at all.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

"Hey, kid."

The gray-black fire phoenix's anger rose again.

What does it mean to be either an adulterer or a thief, but it's not enough to be nice to this kid?Of course, this benefit does not come without a price. It needs the big man of the Li family to block Du Chengfeng who may appear - so it is better for the big man of the Li family to be stronger, even if he just uses his neck to block Du Chengfeng. Feng's broadsword can buy him enough time to retreat.

"I said, we each get what we need."

Seeing the collapsed mountain getting closer and closer, the gray-black fire phoenix chose to be patient in the end.

"You get what you want, I get what I want... If you must need a reason, it is that when you swing your halberd, you look like an overlord."

"……I?"

The elder man of the Li family was slightly startled.

But the gray-black fire phoenix said nothing more.

If I had known this was a docile donkey, I wouldn't have had to waste so much time talking.Young people are easy to deceive. They just say a few nice words and think they are some great person. Just like now, even without consciously sensing it, they can detect the restlessness and excitement in the heart of the eldest son of the Li family. disturbed.

So, after soothing the temporary body, the gray-black fire phoenix emerged from the body of the Li family elder, and then plunged into the pile of rubble while there was no Du Chengfeng around. .

Its greatest advantage is that it is formless and formless. With just a consciousness, it can penetrate these tangible objects at will. Even mountains of rocks, grass and trees, and even thick layers of soil, are as if they are nothing to it.

"If I keep drilling down, how deep can I drill? Where will I get?"

At this moment, the gray-black fire phoenix had an inexplicable thought in his heart. After all, this was something that no one had ever done.

But immediately, it gave up this unrealistic idea.

It's important to find the bunker first, there is no time to worry about the presence or absence of these things.

It is not an easy task to feel the specific location of the bunker in this thick layer of soil. In addition, the bunker is buried to an unknown depth, which makes the search even more difficult as finding a needle in a haystack—— But it is different. It is an immortal fire phoenix, a living true immortal. How can it be so difficult to get it?

"Got you."

In just a moment, the gray-black fire phoenix had already locked onto the cavity of the bunker buried deep underground.

Then, it plunged in.

The internal structure of the bunker was quite familiar to it. It was an architectural style inherited from the Chu people, so following this familiar feeling, it immediately found the location of the warehouse.

However, those things in the warehouse have long since decayed.

Those utensils that should have been full of evil spirits were silent at this moment, just like ordinary utensils. Just looking at the decayed and withered appearance, the gray-black Fire Phoenix felt that even if he just touched it, these things would turn into flying objects on the spot. Ash.

"Why...is everything rotten?"

The gray and black fire phoenix was dumbfounded. It couldn't believe what it saw.

Can not even these magical weapons withstand the ravages of time?
"There should be something left..."

Thinking like this, the gray and black fire phoenix simply started searching.

And this search really allowed him to find the only weapon that seemed to be usable.

"Finally found one."

The gray-black fire phoenix stretched out its claws and picked up the bronze yue knife with an ugly smiling face on the ground.

Although this yue saber didn't even have a handle and didn't look like a weapon, but feeling the strong vitality coming from the bronze yue saber, the gray-black fire phoenix couldn't help but sigh that this trip was not in vain.

"Finally waiting for one."

An illusory arm also protruded from the bronze yue knife. With one stroke, it twisted off the bird's leg hanging on the yue knife and put it into the mouth of the ugly face.

While biting and chewing, the bronze yue saber sighed, as expected, he had not waited in vain.

"How...how is that possible!"

The gray-black fire phoenix, whose leg was suddenly broken, turned pale in shock and quickly flew away.

"I am an immortal! I am a living immortal! How could you, how could you..."

"I know you are an immortal. I am also an immortal and a great immortal. So what if this great immortal eats you, a little immortal?"

As he said this, the bronze yue saber floated in the air and shoveled towards the gray-black fire phoenix.

"Young people are so easy to deceive. They just talk about cultivation methods and train themselves to the point where they can serve on the table."
