"This... this is..." Nangong Yuanzheng's eyes were straightened. Zhan Xie had followed him for hundreds of years, but he never knew that there were so many runes on Zhan Xie.

"I used to think that your sword was powerful because of killing too many people. Now I realize that this is not the case at all. There are so many runes on this sword." Big hand said with squinted eyes.

"Second brother, I understand what you meant just now. You mean that these runes were carved by the sword-casting master, right?"

"That's right, there will be no other person except him. Since this sword is your sword, it must be inseparable from you. The soldiers of your era regarded weapons as their own lives and would never let them leave their side easily. Even if they would put swords beside the bed, how could there be a chance for others to make these runes? It's not a small skill to make so many runes on the sword. I'm afraid it won't be completed in a few days." The big hand nodded and said.

"It's true, so that's it. I said why is this sword so powerful? It's like destroying gold and breaking jade. Even the body of the corpse evil can be easily split. It turns out that it's because of these runes." Nangong Yuanzheng said suddenly.

"Hexuan, I don't know much about talismans. You have been with the Taoist of Tianmen. The mysterious Zhaixingzi has also taught you a lot of things. Look at the runes on it, can you recognize them?" As he said that, he handed Zhan Xie over with his big hand, and he stood at the door of the palace, placing something inside and jumped out to attack us.

I reached out to take the sword, placing my sword body in front of my chest, and carefully checked the runes on it. These runes were too small, each of which was only the size of a grain of rice, and I had to carefully see them clearly.

Nangong Yuanzheng was standing anxiously on the side. This sword of Xie was his, so he was naturally more nervous than us. I didn't say anything, but just held Zhan Xie in both hands and looked carefully.

It took ten minutes to read all the runes on the sword. I had never seen half of them, but I knew half of them.

Not to mention these runes I know, they were all taught by Zhaixingzi that day. I guess these should be commonly used runes and spells, and those that I have never seen before should be some rare runes. Since Zhaixingzi has not taught me, it is likely that he himself did not know about it.

However, I don’t know half of the runes on this sword, which means that more than half of the runes are not commonly used, that is to say...

"How is it? What runes are engraved on it?" Seeing that I raised my head, the big hand knew that I had read all the runes on the sword.

"Brother, only half of the runes on this are known to me, and half are those I have never seen before. I think the person who engraved runes on this sword is definitely not an ordinary person. It is impossible for ordinary people in the mysterious world to know so many rare runes. This person is definitely an expert in the mysterious world."

The big hand nodded silently and said, "Well, it's the same as I guess. Hexuan, what's the use of the runes you can understand?"

I picked up the long sword, pointed at the sword and said, "The above is the corpse-suppressing talisman, which has the effect of restraining corpse evil spirits. There is a ghost-suppressing talisman in the middle, which can be an evil spirit, and the lower part is a demon-suppressing talisman, which can be used to cultivate immortals.

Next to these three main seals, there are many talisman seals, which basically serve as auxiliary and reinforcement functions. However, there is also a main talisman seal at the base of this sword, which I have never seen before."

"Oh? Can't you tell at all?" asked the big hand frowned.

"I can't see it at all. I'm very unfamiliar with this talisman. I've never seen it before. I can guarantee that it does not belong to ordinary talisman seals. These four are the main talisman seals, and the surroundings should be auxiliary runes." I said, pointing to the sword body.

Nangong Yuanzheng glanced at the runes on the sword and said, "No, third brother, you said you don't know half of the runes on it, but you know the three main runes. In this way, we can also estimate that the side of these main runes are auxiliary runes. So it doesn't matter if you don't know these runes. Why do you say that half of them do not know them?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Brother, that's it, but I don't know more than half of these auxiliary runes. I can't be sure what it is. Rune formations are very complicated. For example, if there are several runes connected, it may form a completely different array, and the effect is completely different from the original two, so we cannot simply estimate the function of these runes."

"Oh, I understand what you mean. What you mean is that this seems to be a rune that assists in corpses, ghosts, and demons. It is likely that these three runes will be combined into completely different effects." Nangong Yuanzheng was indeed smart. I just pointed it out for a moment, and he immediately understood what I mean, indeed a talent.

"Now I understand. If he was just an ordinary swordsman, how could he carve so many runes for you? You should know that even in the mysterious world, not many people can carve them out.

Moreover, it takes a lot of effort. If you don’t have favors to him, how could this sword-making master make you such a sword?" Dashou was only halfway through his words, and I reached out to stop him and said, "Second brother, I don’t think this is the case."

"Oh, why do you say that?" Dashou did not directly refute, but looked at me thoughtfully and asked.

I returned Zhan Xie to Nangong Yuanzheng, walked to him, looked at the darkness behind the stone gate and said, "I think it's not a coincidence that my elder brother is trapped here. He is probably arranged to come here. This Zhan Xie Zheng is that person. In order to make him live here, he specially created it for him.

Think about it, the eldest brother was a military general at that time. His weapons were only used to kill the enemy. There was no need to engrave runes for corpses, demons and ghosts. In other words, the real purpose of this evil-killing hand was not to kill the enemy, but to restrain the evil spirits. This was beyond the scope of repaying kindness.

If I want to repay my kindness, I can use other methods. I will never use this method. Since it is to repay my kindness, I must give the other party what I need most. As for the official position of the elder brother at that time, this weapon to kill evil was not what he needed, so the possibility of repaying my kindness was extremely low. Instead, it was to make him live here even more likely."

After hearing what I said, Big Hand frowned. He pondered for a moment and said, "I hope you guessed it wrong. If this is the case, this matter will be complicated. We may have become someone else's pawns!"

Just as Dashou said this, my eyebrows jumped slightly. I didn't know what was going on. I grabbed Dashou's arm and pulled him back directly!
