[Xuan Iron Ruler: The weapon commonly used by Qifu Guoren. The whole body is made of black iron. It is extremely strong and can be used as a sword according to its size. However, because it is very heavy, it is classified as a heavy weapon despite its small size. 】
[Five-star silver-level weapons. Characteristics: solid, weapon-breaking.][bsp; [Sturdiness: the durability is much higher than weapons of the same level; weapon-breaking: there is a certain chance of destroying weapons with lower levels and durability than yourself in a head-on collision.
】
This not very conspicuous weapon was really heavy beyond imagination. Cheng Peng carried it and weighed it several times, but he still didn't understand where its weight came from.
However, he was too lazy to delve into this issue. Instead, he displayed the properties of the Black Iron Ruler in the regional channel and auctioned it on the spot.
To be honest, this Xuantie Ruler is not a particularly good weapon. Everyone present is at least five-star mid-level characters. Each of their weapons is at least five-star silver level, and most of them are the most suitable for them. For Xuantie
Ruler, everyone looks down upon it.
So the final result of this small auction was a failure.
However, a player who knows how to forge said that he could try to decompose the black iron ruler and restore it to the five-star forging material black iron, as long as Cheng Peng paid a small handling fee.
Of course Cheng Peng has no objection to this - the black iron ruler is not a decent thing, but black iron is different! Five-star materials are still quite marketable, because many players need to use them to upgrade their weapons and equipment
.
It's a pity that the materials needed to upgrade Cheng Peng's Ice and Snow Spear do not include black iron - his ice and snow gun does not follow a heavy path, and materials such as black iron that are too heavy are completely unsuitable.
After solving the problem of loot, the group returned to the temporary camp - after Yan Fei successfully escaped, he would disappear from the big map and would not appear again until the next plot. Everyone had nothing to do for the time being.
On the way back, Xiao Xiao used the private chat channel to ask Cheng Peng questions in confusion, asking him what method he used to scare Qifu Guoren away.
"Why did that guy suddenly turn around and run as fast as he could, even throwing away his weapon? I didn't see you take action, so why did you scare him like this?"
However, Cheng Peng himself was at a loss regarding this issue.
He just used his spiritual transformation skills to get closer so as not to be discovered by Yan Fei. And because he couldn't use force in the spiritual state, and even his innate spiritual sense couldn't be deployed, so he could only keep an eye on Qifu Guoren to prevent him from being discovered.
The other party just did something that endangered Yan Fei's life. After Yan Fei escaped, he canceled his spiritual transformation and walked towards Qifu Guoren... During this whole process, he didn't do anything special!
"You didn't use your domain to pressure him? I think maybe your domain put a lot of pressure on him." Xiao Xiao guessed.
Cheng Peng laughed dumbly: "How is this possible! Although I ignore any physical existence in my spiritual state, am not afraid of swords, and am not hindered, I cannot use any attack methods at all. No, not only attack, reconnaissance, healing...
…You can’t use any means, not even running, you can only move forward by walking.”
"If this were not the case, do you think it would be possible for Qifu Guoren to escape successfully in front of me?"
Xiao Xiao thought about it and felt that what Cheng Peng said made sense.
"But since you didn't do anything, why did he run for his life as if he had seen a ghost? Could it be that you finally understood the legendary king's domineering spirit of shaking the tiger's body, and can make the enemy bow down?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. This sentence "saw a ghost" reminded Cheng Peng.
As a historian, he has a good understanding of the cultural customs of the ancients. Naturally, he knows that the more primitive and barbaric peoples such as the Xianbei and the Xiongnu, although fierce by nature, are the most superstitious. If they are fighting with others, no matter how brave the enemy is
They are not afraid either, but if they are fighting ghosts, even one or two ghosts can drive an army of horses and wolves into a wolf rush, panicking like a bereaved dog.
Didn’t you see, until the Qing Dynasty, the Jurchens who came out from the white mountains and black waters were still superstitious about shamanism. Even after they conquered the world, they even held frequent shamanistic sacrificial rituals in the palace, and regarded the inexplicable ghosts and gods as important as their ancestors.
…
After carefully recalling it, he finally understood the reason why Qifu Guoren ran away just now.
Without any warning, a person suddenly appeared not far from him, and the vegetation behind him did not look like it had been trampled at all. There were no traces of his journey at all, as if he appeared out of thin air.
It happened to be night at that time, and Cheng Peng happened to be standing in a relatively dark place in the woods, wearing a gray and inconspicuous mud robe...
He put himself in Qifu Guoren's perspective at that time, imagined himself in his shoes, and couldn't help but shudder.
It seems... it seems... maybe... it's really like a ghost!
Imagining the scene at that time, Cheng Peng, a staunch atheist, felt a little scared in his heart, let alone the superstitious Qifu Guoren!
"I think I understand..." He sighed, "You're right, that guy Qifu Guoren really thinks I'm a ghost!"
"ah?!"
Cheng Peng smiled and told Xiao Xiao his speculation.
"...I really can't believe that that seemingly useless skill can actually have such a use..." Xiao Xiao has been active in the world of gods and monsters during this period. He has long been used to seeing monsters and monsters, and various magic methods are naturally useful.
He had seen too much, so he didn't think that spiritual transformation was such a powerful skill, and he didn't even think about it in that direction. Only when Cheng Peng said this, he finally understood.
"According to your statement, in fact, as long as you make trouble in the former Qin army's camp and perform several spiritual transformations in front of everyone, their morale will plummet to zero, and then the army may simply collapse.
What?" After figuring out the reason for Qifu Guoren's escape, Xiao Xiao immediately opened his imagination and put forward a very tempting suggestion.
Cheng Peng frowned and thought for a while, and found that this plan seemed to be very feasible: Qifu Guoren ran away, and naturally he had to explain to others the reason why he did not catch up with Yan Fei - he was a dignified member of the Xianbei clan.
There is no reason why the second master can't catch up with a mere swordsman gathered in the wild. But if he encounters a ghost or the like, no one can blame him - in the middle of the night, in the dense forest, he suddenly encounters a ghost, and he begs Guoren.
Being able to come back with a life is already an incredible amount of luck and skill. As for Yan Fei? He might have been eaten by ghosts long ago!
No, Yan Fei must have been eaten by the ghost! Since the ghost couldn't catch up with Qifu Guoren, of course it would eat Yan Fei... Isn't this the so-called "I don't have to run faster than a lion, I don't have to run faster than others."
Just do it quickly”?
Even though the upper echelons of the former Qin army concealed the news, the rumor that "there are man-eating ghosts near Bianhuangji" must have spread to a small scale among the upper echelons of the former Qin army. If Cheng Peng continued to pretend at this time, history might be
There is no need to fight the Battle of Feishui above...
No, it is impossible for the army to retreat because of a mere ghost, but the morale of the entire army will definitely be greatly reduced, and the possibility of the Eastern Jin Army's victory will be greatly increased.
After thinking clearly, Cheng Peng confessed, turned to the former Qin army stationed in Bianhuangji, and sneaked into the military camp that night.
The mobility of the 800,000-strong army was astonishing. In just one day, the dilapidated Bianhuangji already looked like a military camp, with countless sentries and the like, but none of this could stop Cheng Peng, who had transformed into a spiritual body.
He easily invaded the camp.
As luck would have it, he didn't go far inside the camp before he saw Qifu Guoren.
This guy who was so majestic in chasing down Yan Fei last night is now haggard and huddled in a very spacious barracks, surrounded by densely packed braziers. The scorching flames made him covered in sweat, but he didn't dare to leave.
It looked really miserable.
Although there were several people who seemed to be strong beside him, Cheng Peng didn't care and chose a relatively safe distance to show up.
As soon as he appeared, Qifu Guoren naturally saw him immediately. His face turned blue, his eyes turned white, and his throat made a rattling sound. He wanted to jump up and run away, but he fell straight down and fainted on the spot.
Cheng Peng was just about to continue pretending, but one of the people accompanying Qifu Guoren stood up. Although his face was slightly pale, he was much calmer.
"Senior Holy Sect, I don't know that you are here. What advice can you give me?"
