332, great identity, catch a spiritual insect alive
A direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion?
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows.
He knows who the master of Tiangong Pavilion is.
Zhou Shu didn't even know who the person in the image given by Jin Kui was, but he had never seen the master of the Tiangong Pavilion.
But at this time, of course Zhou Shu will not explain anything.
He also deliberately looked shocked.
"You mean, the senior who taught me the art of forging weapons when I was young was the master of Tiangong Pavilion?"
Zhou Shu said.
"That's right, if the person you met when you were young was him, then I can be sure that your weapon-making skills were taught to you by the master of Tiangong Pavilion himself. This can explain it. Master
If you don’t have this level of skill in the art of forging weapons that I personally taught you, you will be sorry for what the master of the pavilion taught you.”
Jin Kui said, regardless of whether Zhou Shu believed it or not, he believed it anyway.
Zhou Shu was also speechless. Jin Kui didn't know if he was looking for a way to get off.
However, Zhou Shu was happy to acquiesce to his statement.
Apart from anything else, having one more person as a direct disciple of the Tiangong Pavilion Master may make things a lot easier.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, that senior just taught me the art of forging weapons and did not accept me as his disciple. By the way, where is he now? I have received a great favor and I haven't had time to repay him."
Zhou Shu said.
This identity is good for him, but the biggest problem is that once the master of Tiangong Pavilion shows up, he will naturally know that he is lying.
"The master of the pavilion, Shenlong, has never seen his head. He has not been in the world for many years, and I have not seen him for many years."
Jin Kui said, "You are lucky enough to meet the Pavilion Master. Although you have not officially become a master, your weapon-making skills were taught by the Pavilion Master himself. There is no doubt about this.
In terms of inheritance, you are the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master, and everyone must admit this."
Jin Kui seems to want to confirm this identity more than Zhou Shu.
Having said this, what else can Zhou Shu do?
He could only accept it by default.
"That's it!"
Ge Changlong clapped his hands and said, "Let me tell you, how did Zong Quan possess such an amazing skill in forging weapons? That's it! Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, this time, the flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple. Let's do this. I, the city lord, have the final say."
,Forget the previous bet."
"We don't know each other without fighting, so there's no reason to be so unhappy just because of a small conflict."
Ge Changlong said grandly.
"No."
Before Zhou Shu could speak, Jin Kui had already spoken.
"I, Jin Kui, am not one to keep my word. Now that I have made a bet, I will never go back on it."
His words surprised both Zhou Shu and Ge Changlong. They had stopped pursuing the case. Jin Kui himself still wanted to fulfill the contract?
"The previous bet still counts. I will give all the magic weapons I have saved throughout my life to Tongguan City. In addition, I will also use my connections to purchase a batch of magic weapons from Tiangong Pavilion for Tongguan City." Jin Kui said seriously, "And starting from today, for three hundred years, I will stay in Tongguan City to serve. As long as Lord Gecheng and Brother Wu are here, I will not leave this place."
Jin Kui also turned around like he was turning over a book. At this moment, he had changed his name to Brother Wu.
"Brother Wu, you are the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master, and you are also the Pavilion Master's only disciple, so you are the best candidate to be the next Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion. I will protect you, and that is what I should do."
Jin Kui added.
Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, at least his actions are in front of him.
Zhou Shu and Ge Changlong looked at each other. Since the other person came to the door by himself, they had no reason to push him out.
"Vice City Lord Jin is so benevolent and righteous, I, Tongguan City, would like to express my gratitude."
Ge Changlong said, he is also a person of honor, so he will reciprocate the favor given by others, "Don't worry, Vice Pavilion Master Jin, I, Tongguan City, will purchase magic weapons at a price higher than the market price, and you will never suffer a loss."<
/p>
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, if you stay in Tongguan City and take care of the chores, I, Tongguan City, will definitely satisfy you!"
Ge Changlong comes from a wealthy family, and he has never been short of money.
In the past, it was just that he did not have the connections in Tiangong Pavilion, and he was not the only one in the family who needed magic weapons, so he had nowhere to spend his money.
Now that he has a relationship with Jin Kui, he doesn't have to worry about this.
As for money, Ge Changlong is not prepared to take advantage.
Money is nothing to a person like him. As long as he can suppress the insect plague and save Tongguan City, his status, Ge Changlong, will surely skyrocket.
In comparison, no amount of money can buy this.
Jin Kui was also very satisfied with Ge Changlong's reaction. He nodded slightly and said, "Master Gecheng, please prepare a house for me near the Young Pavilion Master. I will immediately send a message to the pavilion and have someone escort the magic soldiers."
Come here."
"Tongguan City has been attacked by spiritual insects before. The insect disaster may come at any time, so we still have to be prepared."
Jin Kui said.
Ge Changlong nodded happily, winked at Zhou Shu, and then took Jin Kui to choose a mansion.
……
It wasn't until the people from Tongguan City and Tiangong Pavilion left that Zhan Cai approached Zhou Shu and whispered, "Would it ruin our affairs if we let him stay?"
"No, Tongguan City is facing an insect plague. I cannot solve it with my own strength. It will also be helpful for us to recruit a deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "By the way, General Zhan, you just fought against the spirit insects in person. Please tell me carefully about the process."
There were a lot of people just now, and the battle was just a general discussion. Zhou Shu was still full of curiosity about spirit insects.
Hearing Zhou Shu's question, Zhan didn't hesitate at all. He told the story of his fight with the spirit insect over and over again in detail.
Zhou Shu had a thoughtful look on his face and fell silent.
Seeing his appearance, Zhan and others did not dare to disturb him.
After half an hour, Zhou Shu raised his head again.
"These spiritual insects are somewhat interesting, but I have to see them with my own eyes before I can confirm some of my ideas."
Zhou Shu pondered and said.
"Spiritual insects are just difficult to kill, and their own strength is only average. With your strength, there shouldn't be any danger."
Zhan nodded and said.
He knew that in addition to the art of forging weapons, Zhou Shu's own martial arts strength was not weak at all. He thought that when he was in the ancestral land, Zhou Shu could already compete with him and Tianji.
"One more thing."
Zhan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mu Zhixing is missing. I suspect that he may have escaped."
"Who said I escaped?"
Before Zhan finished speaking, a voice had already sounded, "General Zhan, I'm familiar with it. If you say that, I'm going to be angry!"
"You are a naked slander!"
Mu Zhixing's figure appeared at the courtyard gate, looking around furtively, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
"This..."
Zhan is also a little speechless.
Mu Zhixing had obviously disappeared before, but now he suddenly appeared, making him very unhappy!
Standing aside with a dark face, Zhan was too lazy to speak.
Zhou Shu couldn't help but laugh twice. Of course he knew that Zhan was not the one who arranged for others behind the scenes. This guy Mu Zhixing most likely hid somewhere before.
He had been tricking himself into escaping from Tongguan City before, but he had not agreed. It was not impossible for him to escape on his own.
"Are you back again?"
Zhou Shu said calmly.
"What do you mean I'm back again? I never left."
Mu Zhixing said, "Am I the kind of person who leaves my companions and escapes alone? My lord, let me tell you, I have done a big thing!"
Mu Zhixing said mysteriously.
Zhou Shu glanced at him and said casually, "What's the big deal?"
"I caught a spiritual insect alive!"
Mu Zhixing chuckled.
"What?"
Zhou Shu and Zhan changed their expressions at the same time.
Zhou Shu's expression changed because he was looking for a spiritual insect to study, while Zhan was really frightened.
He has personally experienced how difficult spirit insects are to deal with, and he also knows how difficult it is to catch a spirit insect alive.
To be honest, even he was unable to catch a spirit insect alive. Mu Zhixing's strength was far inferior to him. How did he catch a spirit insect alive?
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing, and a figure emerged in his mind, Golden Mask Man No. 1!
With Mu Zhixing's strength, he might not be able to catch the spirit insect alive, but he has already said before that he has some connection with the Golden Mask Man No. 1, and the identity of the Golden Mask Man No. 1 is very mysterious, or maybe this spirit insect is
After he was captured alive, he was handed over to Mu Zhixing. The ultimate goal, of course, was to give it to himself.
Although he didn’t know what the purpose of the golden mask man No. 1 was, Zhou Shu would certainly not refuse the spiritual insects that came to his door.
Ge Changlong once said before that after the spiritual insects are killed, they will decompose into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and completely dissipate, leaving no corpses behind.
If you want to study spiritual insects, the only way is to catch them alive.
However, spiritual insects are not very intelligent, but they are very determined. If they know that they cannot escape, they will choose to kill themselves.
Therefore, it is very difficult to capture him alive.
I don’t know what means Mu Zhixing and Golden Mask Man No. 1 used to capture the spirit insects alive.
"Where are the spiritual insects you captured alive?"
Zhou Shu asked in a deep voice.
Mu Zhixing looked around, as if he was afraid of being known by outsiders.
Then he took out a cage half a person's height from behind.
The cage is completely golden and looks like it is worth a lot of money.
But no one paid attention to the cage, but looked at the spirit insect in the cage.
The spirit worm is almost three feet long, one foot thick, and round like a large silkworm chrysalis.
There are white scales on the surface of its body, one by one, without any gaps, and shining slightly.
When Mu Zhixing just took out the cage, Zhou Shu felt that the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air had increased.
"Is this a spiritual insect?"
Zhou Shu was a little surprised.
He had read the description of the spirit worm and knew that wherever the spirit worm passed, not even a blade of grass would grow.
He didn't expect that such a ferocious spiritual insect would actually look a little...cute.
"That's right, even though it looks harmless to humans and animals, it is actually very cruel!"
Mu Zhixing said, "Now he has been knocked unconscious by me. Otherwise, you can see its mouth full of teeth, which can even bite the magic weapon. Moreover, this spiritual insect can also release magical powers, making it very difficult to deal with."
."
Mu Zhixing did not say how he caught the spirit insect, but just introduced the characteristics of the spirit insect to Zhou Shu.
"Your Majesty, once the spirit insect is alone and knows that there is no hope of escape, it will choose to kill itself, so you can't let it wake up, otherwise it will kill itself."
Mu Zhixing pointed at the spirit insect in the cage and said, "And its teeth are extremely sharp. If it really wakes up, this cage may not be able to contain it."
"Got it."
Zhou Shu nodded and looked at the spirit insects in the cage with a burning gaze. With such a spirit insect, he could find out the weaknesses of the spirit insects and then forge magic weapons based on their weaknesses.
If we can really develop magical weapons against spiritual insects, then it won’t be so difficult to deal with spiritual insects.
"Mu Zhixing, you have made a great contribution this time."
Zhou Shu said.
Mu Zhixing chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, who among us is following whom? If we can eliminate the spiritual insects, I am bound to do so!"
While he was talking, suddenly the sound of horns came from the direction of the city wall again.
"Spiritual insects are attacking again?"
Zhou Shu's eyes flashed.
At this moment, he noticed the spirit insect in the cage. It suddenly twisted its body and seemed to want to wake up.
"Mu Zhixing, how did you make it comatose? Do it again!"
Zhou Shu said quickly.
He didn't know much about spiritual insects and was worried that if he took action, he would directly kill the spiritual insects.
It doesn't matter if you kill it, but if you kill it, the body won't be left behind, so you won't be able to study the weakness of the spirit insect.
Mu Zhixing's eyes swayed, but he still took out a palm-sized golden bell from his arms.
He held the bell in his hand, muttered something in his mouth, pointed it at the spirit insect, and started shaking it.
Amidst the crisp ringtones, sound waves visible to the naked eye fell on the spirit insect. The spirit insect suddenly became quiet and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep again.
"Huh?"
Zhou Shu's eyes fell on the bell in Mu Zhixing's hand.
At this time, Mu Zhixing had already put away the bell.
"My lord, it's useless. It can only target a single spiritual insect. If it is an insect plague, it will have no effect."
Mu Zhixing said with twinkling eyes.
Zhou Shu nodded and did not ask about the origin of the bell. Everyone has their own secrets, and Mu Zhixing is not his subordinate. Since Mu Zhixing is not willing to tell, Zhou Shu will not force others to make things difficult.
The sound of the horn became more and more shrill, and in Tongguan City, figures rose into the sky.
Zhou Shu saw Ge Changlong holding a long sword and turning into a ray of light to kill outside the city. He also saw Jin Kui's Tianzun guard and took action again.
He was hesitating whether to let Zhan and others join the battle, when suddenly Xue Liang came to report that it was Jin Kui who wanted to see him.
Zhou Shu asked Mu Zhixing to keep an eye on the spirit insect, and then came to the front hall and saw Jin Kui who had just left and returned.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, what's the matter?"
As soon as they met, Zhou Shu said straight to the point.
"Yes!"
Jin Kui did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Young Pavilion Master, let me tell you what I have to say directly. This time the insect plague in Tongguan City is a bit abnormal. I have communicated with Ge Changlong. Spirit insects were just discovered in Tongguan City a few months ago. It stands to reason.
He said that the scale of spiritual insects now is not enough to break through Tongguan City. At this time, they should be hiding in the dark to reproduce and reproduce, and will not riot until they can form an insect plague."
"But this time, they rioted early, which is very abnormal!"
"Both Master Gecheng and I suspect that there may be some reason for them to be so riotous. This reason must be related to Tongguan City!"
Jin Kui said.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, I don't know much. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Zhou Shu frowned, not understanding what Jin Kui meant, so he asked.
"It's like this. Lord Katsuragi and I suspect that there is something in the city that attracts the spiritual insects to attack!" Jin Kui said in a deep voice, "We must find that thing, otherwise the spiritual insects will continue to attack." "Is there something that attracts spiritual insects?"
Zhou Shu frowned, and something suddenly appeared in his mind!
Could it be...
"How can I find that thing? What do I need to do?"
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice that he believed that Jin Kui would not come to him for no reason.
"When the spirit insects attack, most of the forces in Tongguan City will have to deal with the spirit insects. The two of us are weapon builders and are not good at fighting, so Lord Gecheng wants us to search for them."
Jin Kui did not waste any time and said directly, "You and I are each responsible for the general city. Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find that thing!"
"That's no problem, but I don't know what that thing is. How can I find it?"
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
"I don't know what it is, but I have a magical weapon here. Anything that can attract spiritual insects will definitely cause its reaction."
Jin Kui took out a mirror from his arms and said, "If you hold it, as long as the mirror lights up, then what we are looking for must be nearby!" 0
Jin Kui left the mirror behind and left in a hurry.
It can be seen that Jin Kui is very serious when dealing with spirit insects. He really hates spirit insects.
Zhou Shu held the mirror and looked thoughtful on his face.
After a while, he got up and walked to the backyard.
In the backyard, Mu Zhixing, Zhan and others were still gathered together, and the cage holding the spiritual insects was placed on the ground.
"Mu Zhixing, tell me honestly, does the spirit insect you captured alive have any origin?"
As soon as he saw Mu Zhixing, Zhou Shu asked directly, "Is the attack of spiritual insects related to it?"
Zhou Shu's words made everyone stunned, including Mu Zhixing, who also looked puzzled.
"My lord, what do you mean?"
Mu Zhixing said weakly, "Are you saying that this spirit insect has a great status among the spirit insects, and the spirit insects outside want to save it, so they attacked the city?"
Zhou Shu knew as soon as he saw Mu Zhixing's appearance that Mu Zhixing definitely didn't know the inside story either.
In all likelihood, he didn't catch this spiritual insect, so of course he didn't know.
It's a pity that Golden Mask Man No. 1 is hiding somewhere.
"Your Majesty, how did you know?"
Zhan asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know."
Zhou Shu shook his head. The mirror Jin Kui gave him didn't emit light, so he couldn't be sure whether this matter had anything to do with this spiritual insect.
"General Zhan, take this mirror and search in Tongguan City to find something that makes this mirror shine."
Zhou Shu thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to try to see if the culprit is this spirit insect!"
