Chapter 16
"Can't find it?" Ling Guang's expression froze when he heard the words: "Why can't I find the law?"
Zhi Ming's eyelids were closed, his mouth was murmuring in a daze, and he was about to fall asleep.Ling Guang shook his head helplessly, his whole body was glowing red, the temperature in the cave instantly rose to scorching summer, the water droplets on the stone wall condensed quickly, and fell to the ground like light rain.
"What are you doing!" Zhi Ming jumped up from the futon in dismay: "I was just going to sleep!"
Ling Guang ignored his anger, and asked in a serious voice: "Is the tortoise shell protected by the backlash spell, and will be backlashed when it senses with divine power?"
"How do you know?" Zhi Ming asked suspiciously.He was forced to wake up twice, the temperature was raised and dripping water was added, and now he was poked in the foot again, which completely dispelled his drowsiness.He finally straightened his posture and began to discuss with Ling Guang seriously.
Tang Xiaoyu didn't quite understand the principles of the magic spells, so he started to lose his mind after listening for a while.He felt very hot on his body, and he was reluctant to take off the red cloak that smelled of the sun. He was scratching his ears and cheeks when he suddenly noticed that the boy was acting strangely.
The little boy was standing well behind Zhiming, but at some point, his expression suddenly became very anxious. He kept twisting his body, and the range was getting bigger and bigger. He opened his mouth suddenly, and his limbs, torso and whole face began to twitch, as if It's an epileptic seizure.
Tang Xiaoyu screamed in horror, finally attracting the attention of the two gods.The discussion stopped abruptly, Zhiming followed his line of sight and saw his little apprentice, and immediately jumped up nervously from the futon and rushed over.
Ling Guang looked at the two of them hesitantly, Zhi Ming removed the little black robe from the little boy, and the little boy turned into a little snake, he grabbed the little snake and stuffed it into his robe, then turned his head and roared angrily at Ling Guang: "Take your The divine power is collected!"
This roar made Ling Guang understand what was going on, he suppressed the red light radiating from his body to the minimum, the temperature in the cave dropped slowly, and finally it was no longer as hot as being next to a fire.
Tang Xiaoyu didn't know what was wrong with him. At such a tense and critical moment, all he could think about was the story of the farmer and the snake.He looked at Zhiming and the little snake wrapped in his robe, and couldn't help making up quite detailed plots in his brain. Before he could finish it, he heard Zhiming's order to expel the guests.
"Hurry up, I will find a way to do this, if you have the ability, find me some artifacts that contain spiritual thoughts—let your Red Luan Alien Star come in!"
Ling Guang listened to the first half of the sentence, and grabbed Tang Xiaoyu tactfully and wanted to leave.As a result, halfway heard the second half of the supplement, staggered abruptly, and turned back to stare at the other party sullenly.
Hey, tit for tat!The expression on Zhiming's face was sullen and stinky, like a thousand-year-old villain who has achieved ambition.
Tang Xiaoyu scratched his head, just about to open his mouth to ask, the scene in front of him changed suddenly, returning from the deep mountains and old forests to the modern city.The voice of that question spread like this in the large attic.
"...What is the Red Luan Alien Star?"
Xiezhi: "Pfft!"
Ling Guang: "..."
Seeing that Ling Guang remained silent, Tang Xiaoyu asked unwillingly, "Are you referring to me?"
Ling Guang couldn't look directly at Tang Xiaoyu's curious eyes, turned his head away in embarrassment, and said perfunctorily, "Don't think too much."
This answer is obviously a ghost!Tang Xiaoyu was very annoyed, seeing that Cong Lingguang couldn't get a word out, he decided to find another soft persimmon to pinch.He grabbed Xiezhi and dragged him to a corner, threatening him in all directions.
"Don't you hate others lying the most? Quickly, set an example and tell me the truth!"
Xiezhi shuddered, glanced at Shenjun, then closed his lips like a clamshell and shook his head frantically, hoping that his master would see his pitiful appearance and let him live.
Tang Xiaoyu slyly sidelined him: "You don't need to say the specific content, just explain the meaning of Hongluan Alien Star."
Xiezhi didn't dare to disobey his master's orders, and he was afraid that if he said too much, he would be crushed to death by the gods.In desperation, I had to explain two sentences in a very simple way: "The star of the Red Luan is moving, and it is a great thing to be married. However, the alien star of the Red Luan appears in a place where it should not appear, and it will not bring happiness. It's painful..."
Having said that, he was so stared at by Ling Guang that he couldn't take care of himself, so he ran away decisively: "I'm going to cook!"
Tang Xiaoyu digested the information in those two sentences half-understood, and when he came back to his senses, only he and Ling Guang were left in the attic in a daze.He hadn't figured out what was beyond his common sense, and he became inexplicably cautious when he was alone. The two pretended that the other didn't exist, and it was difficult to survive in the weird atmosphere.
After a long period of silence, Tang Xiaoyu finally decided to find something to talk about, and used actions that were equivalent to showing weakness to ease the atmosphere.
He coughed dryly, rubbed his hands obsequiously and asked, "What's the plan for the emperor tomorrow?"
Ling Guang came back from his distraction, and reluctantly told him his whereabouts: "Go to the antique market."
"Antique market?" Tang Xiaoyu asked puzzled, "What are you going to do?"
"...Find artifacts containing spiritual thoughts for Zhiming."
I actually forgot this!Tang Xiaoyu finally remembered the business, and quickly made a positive statement: "I will accompany you!"
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the two of them set off for the Indigo Garden.On weekends, Dianyuan, the largest antique market in Dianzhou, will hold a morning session at 44:[-] a.m., filled with unscrupulous items that are difficult to sell, prices are generally not high, and few people dare to buy them.
Tang Xiaoyu had heard many weird rumors, such as being killed by utensils bought in the morning show, or people in calligraphy and paintings were resurrected to commit crimes, so he always stayed away from rushing to the morning show.This time there is a god in the lineup, the most important thing is that it will not hurt his wallet too much, so he excitedly seized the opportunity and prepared to open his eyes.
It is inconvenient to teleport in crowded places. When the two rushed to the Indigo Garden with the help of the little dolphin battery car, the morning show had not yet started.On the densely packed stalls, the stall owners are putting things out, and they look around cautiously as they move. After all, it is a shameful thing. Although it is a custom in the circle to buy and sell in the morning session of the Indigo Garden, it is difficult to ensure that there is no shortage of food. The police and urban management came to make trouble.
Tang Xiaoyu parked the battery car and studied the terrain a few times. After all the stall owners sat down and waited for the rabbits to come, he dragged Lingguang in for a walk along the way.
There are six rows of stalls, and there are nearly a hundred stalls in each row. Each stall is about the size of a desk, but the content is very rich.They arrived early, and there were not many customers, so the stall owners everywhere looked at them, hoping for a good start.Tang Xiaoyu smiled nervously, passing by the stalls full of fake goods, not knowing what kind of things the gods were looking for.
It is very confusing to say that it contains spiritual thoughts.If he was looking for ancient relics, he might be able to help a little, but if he was looking for supernatural things, he probably could only go to see ghost faces.
The top of the fake is basically clean, like the bottom of a pot that was wiped by grandma until it can reflect light.The situation on the real product is much more complicated, and most of them are entangled with some translucent substances.The rare ones are like a jellyfish canopy, the dense ones are like green smoke curling and circling, and many of them will condense and form, just like the ghosts on the cultural relics in the museum.
People are divided into classes, and ghosts cannot escape class divisions.The low-level ghosts rolled their eyes, their faces were dull and expressionless, and their faces were even mutilated.Intermediate ones start to have voluntary intentions, turning back and forth, left and right, and muttering words.
No wonder Tang Xiaoyu was walking, and there was a human head floating on a clay pot in front of him, suddenly he turned his face and sighed leisurely to him: "Ah..."
"Ah!" Tang Xiaoyu couldn't help but let out a short scream, backed up and bumped into Ling Guang who was following him.
The ghost reaction was a little slow, and after a long sigh, he answered slowly: "You...can you see...me?"
Tang Xiaoyu decisively turned around and hid behind Ling Guang, pretending that he couldn't see anything.
Ling Guang smiled helplessly, changed from the back to the front, and dragged the ostrich-shaped Tang Xiaoyu past the stall, frowning as he walked, until he saw a dense black air, like the dense gray smoke of wet firewood, Occupies half of the stall.He frowned lightly, strolled over, and picked up the claw dagger filled with black air.
The dagger is only about ten centimeters long, slightly curved like a sheep's horn, and a small and delicate sheep's head is carved on the back of the handle.The blade is extremely thin, and although it is covered with rust mud, it is not hard to imagine how sharp it was back then.
The stall owner saw that Ling Guang couldn't stop playing, so he attacked decisively, salivating and bragging: "My brother has eyes, this is a good thing! Antiquities from the Yin and Shang Dynasties..."
"Fart!" Tang Xiaoyu poked his head out from behind Ling Guang and replied rudely: "This is Yin Shang, do you think Yin Shang's goods are junk that can be picked up on the side of the road?"
In fact, the time the stall owner said was not wrong, but he just closed his eyes and went back to the old days, and he was not sure.Tang Xiaoyu was in the mood that he must not be robbed by the stall owners in this kind of place, no matter what age it was, let's talk about it first.After fierce bargaining, finally, the goat horn dagger was sold for 300 yuan, and it fell safely into Ling Guang's hands.
Tang Xiaoyu smirked at Ling Guang twice, with a smug expression.
When he touched the dagger just now, he had already discovered that the thing was indeed of some age. The price of cabbage like 300 yuan was a bloody profit.
Of course, when he knew that the things he earned with his blood would end up being burnt into dregs in the furnace, he felt mixed feelings.
——Damn, that's dog food for refining weapons!
Fortunately, he didn't know about it at the moment. After bragging about his superb bargaining skills, the two continued to move forward hand in hand.The morning session lasted only about one hour, and their progress was slow, so they had to hurry up.
Those gray-white and translucent things were not eye-catching, and they went straight to search the dark stall, and soon they found a few more artifacts.Tang Xiaoyu's observation found that most of those emitting black air were murder weapons or valuable jade wares, while calligraphy, paintings and ordinary utensils were rare.He pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.
Only those who have caused bad events such as killing and robbing will have enough black energy, which is the spirit that the gods need.
Although he still doesn't know what spiritual thoughts can be used for, today's harvest is good. Except for a certain short sword that was not available due to the high price, they harvested a total of three utensils and set off on their way home satisfied.
