340. The art of forging weapons has no national boundaries.
Jin Kui himself was a little confused.
Did he really do this?
Is it possible that I have been busy forging weapons these days, and although I have not practiced, my martial arts strength has improved again?
That's right, even though I made a hasty move just now, I used my full strength after all.
Even a strong person could not withstand that blow.
Although the defense of the spirit insect is amazing, if it takes a blow from itself, it will definitely not be unharmed.
"Not bad."
Jin Kui said somewhat reservedly, "Martial arts is not what this pavilion master is good at. I didn't control it well for a while, and my shots were a bit heavy."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin is so humble. So many people from our Tongguan City have been looking for him for several days. In the end, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, you took action and eliminated this spiritual insect directly."
Zhou Shu praised, "If it hadn't been for you, Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, to hold the battle this time, I'm afraid it would have run away again."
"You're welcome."
Jin Kui felt a little proud. Although Wu Zongquan invented the assembly line art of war, he, Jin Kui, was not a vegetarian. How about it? Now you know how powerful I, the Master of the Golden Pavilion, am.
"Since I live in Tongguan City temporarily, I can't watch a mere spirit insect come and go here freely. If it really escapes, will I, Jin Kui, still have my face?"
Jin Kui said.
Zhou Shu gave a thumbs up.
Praising him a few times, does he really think he has gone to heaven?
The dignified deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion can't even deal with a spiritual insect.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes inwardly.
Naturally, this spirit insect was not knocked to the ground by Jin Kui's blow.
After it was knocked back by Jin Kui, it was Zhou Shu who burst out with all his strength in an instant and subdued it. If it were Jin Kui, the spirit insect would have gone to nowhere.
Zhou Shu doesn't want to expose his strength now, so he puts the credit on Jin Kui's head.
This Jin Kui has no self-awareness, and he actually thinks how powerful he is.
Zhou Shu did not expose him and said with a smile, "Deputy Master Jin, the spirit insect has been caught. Our crisis in Tongguan City has been temporarily relieved."
"It's not that simple."
Jin Kui shook his head and said, "The spirit insect outside the city is still there. Now that we have caught it, let's kill it directly to prevent it from happening."
While he was speaking, Jin Kui had already arrived at the spirit worm, and the magic weapon mirror in his hand emitted golden light, shining it on the spirit worm.
The magic weapon used by Jin Kui is a mirror. This is considered a strange weapon among strange weapons. However, the power of this mirror is still very powerful. Otherwise, it would not have knocked the spirit insect back just now. p>
Now that the spirit insect has lost its power to resist, no matter how hard its scales are, it will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of Jin Kui's magical mirror.
Seeing that Jin Kui was about to take the life of the spirit insect, Zhou Shu suddenly stopped him and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, wait a minute."
"This spiritual insect cannot be killed yet."
"Why can't you kill?"
Jin Kui paused for a moment, frowned and said, "This spirit insect can possess people, and it also understands people. If it escapes back to the spirit insect group, the consequences will be disastrous. Only by killing it can the future troubles be completely eliminated!" p>
"Brother Zongquan, I know you want to study spiritual insects, but as someone who has been here, I have to remind you that you can't take things for granted. You can study spiritual insects, but you shouldn't take risks. This spiritual insect must be killed.
Drop!"
Jin Kui's attitude is very determined.
His idea is actually not wrong.
Killing this spiritual insect is the safest thing.
Even though they have caught this spiritual insect now, as long as it does not die, if it can escape once, it will have a chance to escape a second time.
There is no need for them to take this risk.
In Jin Kui's view, it is not important at all whether he can get information from this spiritual insect.
To deal with spiritual insects is to eliminate them completely. Understand what they do?
"I know it's dangerous to keep it."
Zhou Shu said, "But I have a way. Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, have you ever heard of a magical weapon called the Tightening Curse?"
"Tightening curse?"
Jin Kui's expression suddenly changed, "The Pavilion Master even taught you the casting method of the Tightening Curse?"
There was excitement in Jin Kui's eyes. His hands trembled and he reached out to grab Zhou Shu's arm.
Seeing his excited look, Zhou Shu's heart also moved slightly. Does the master of Tiangong Pavilion know how to cast a tight curse?
The method of casting this tight curse is the secret of the ancient heaven.
However, considering that the art of forging weapons in ancient heaven was brought back from this world by the Emperor of Heaven, it does not seem surprising that the master of that day’s Gong Pavilion knew how to forge the tight ring.
"Since Deputy Pavilion Master Jin knows about the Tightening Curse, I shouldn't need to explain too much."
Zhou Shu said, "As long as you put a tight spell on it, it will never be able to escape again."
"Tightening Curse——"
Jin Kui took a few deep breaths, tried to calm himself down, and said in a deep voice, "The Tightening Curse is indeed very good, but it is a spiritual insect. We are not sure whether the Tightening Curse can have an effect on it."
After all, Jin Kui is a seasoned person, and he gets to the point in just one sentence.
The Tightening Curse has never been used on spiritual insects. No one dares to say whether it has any effect on spiritual insects.
Zhou Shu nodded, this is the attitude a weapon maker should have. Technicians should always be more rigorous.
If it were Ge Changlong, he would most likely never have thought of this.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, I don't know if the tightening spell is effective on spiritual insects."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "But don't forget who we are."
"We are weapon forgers. Even if the Tightening Curse has no effect on spiritual insects, can't we still cast a Tightening Spell that is effective on spiritual insects?"
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, have you ever thought about it, if we can really forge a tightening spell that is effective against spiritual insects, then do we still have to worry about the disaster of spiritual insects?"
Jin Kui was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's good for young people to have confidence, but things are not that simple. If the disaster of spiritual insects was so easy to solve, wouldn't Tiangong Pavilion have done it long ago? Spiritual insects are just like that weed.
, the wildfire never burns out, but the spring breeze blows and rekindles it."
"We don't need to think about such long-term things. Our goal is just to solve the spiritual insect disaster in Tongguan City first."
Zhou Shu said with a smile.
"That's right."
Jin Kui thought for a while and said, "Just solving the insect plague in Tongguan City is not a big problem."
"However, brother Zongquan, the method of casting the tight curse is secretly passed down by the master of the pavilion. Are you really willing to teach it to me?"
Jin Kui's eyes became fiery again.
The casting method of the tight hoop is a secret technique exclusively taught by the master of Tiangong Pavilion. Many people once wanted to learn it, but they were all rejected by the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
There has always been a rumor in Tiangong Pavilion that if you can learn the casting method of the Tightening Curse, you will be the next candidate to succeed the Pavilion Master.
Jin Kui no longer wants to take over as the head of the Tiangong Pavilion, but he is already satisfied to learn the legendary casting method of the Tightening Curse.
"Why don't you want to?"
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "In my opinion, the art of forging weapons should be made public. Only in this way can it continue to improve. If everyone guards their own secret art of forging weapons and does not want others to know, then it can only be complacent.
."
"I think that the art of forging weapons can only be improved through frequent exchanges."
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, think about it, martial arts cultivation requires actual combat, and the art of forging weapons is also needed. Without communication, there will be no progress."
Jin Kui listened thoughtfully, and what Zhou Shu said made sense. Weaponsmiths in this world all valued their weapon-forging skills as treasures and would not show them to others.
Zhou Shu is indeed completely different from the armorer he knew before.
Just like the assembly line art of war, if it were Jin Kui, he would definitely keep it secret and not let any outsiders know.
But Zhou Shu not only told him, but also claimed that he and Jin Kui had created it together. He seemed to not care at all about this opportunity to leave his name in history.
Jin Kui asked himself that he couldn't do this.
These words may be Zhou Shu’s true words.
Jin Kui secretly thought that a young man with such courage might really be able to lead Tiangong Pavilion to another realm.
Thinking of this, Jin Kui's idea of assisting Zuo Zhoushu became even more determined.
"You're right. Even if the Tightening Curse is originally ineffective against spiritual insects, we can still forge a magical weapon that is effective against spiritual insects. If you and I can't do it, there won't be many people in this world who can do it!"<
/p>
Jin Kui said, his tone full of confidence.
"Deputy Pavilion Master Jin, listen carefully."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said.
There was no one around, so Zhou Shu directly began to tell Jin Kui about the casting technique of the tight curse.
The Tightening Curse is a combination of magical weapons and magical powers. Once someone puts it on, the Tightening Curse will be integrated with the person's soul, and from then on, their life will be in the hands of others.
Its casting method is also far more complicated and complicated than ordinary magic weapons.
I think back then, with the power of the ancient heaven, they could only cast three tightening curses.
This is not only because it costs a lot to cast the Tightening Curse, but also because it is too difficult to cast.
Jin Kui listened very seriously. With his skill in forging weapons, he was actually considered to be the first echelon in the world.
As the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, his abilities are genuine, and he has reached this step step by step by relying on his own weapon-making skills.
As soon as Zhou Shu opened his mouth, he already knew that the casting method of this tight curse was real!
Not only is it true, but the complexity of this method is the only one he has seen in his life.
In this way, Jin Kui did not dare to be negligent at all. Now Zhou Shu has taught him the magic weapon-making method. If he still can't master it, wouldn't it be a big shame?
Since he has determined to assist Zuo Zhou Shu to ascend to the position of head of Tiangong Pavilion, he must show his ability, otherwise, won't he be underestimated by Zhou Shu in the future?
With this idea in mind, Jin Kui kept every word Zhou Shu said in mind, and constantly deduced the whole process in his mind.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had studied so hard. This state of concentration only lasted for such a short time. With his cultivation level, he actually felt tired.
"Brother Zongquan, the principle of the tight band curse is to integrate the divine weapons with the divine soul. The structure of the spirit insects is different from that of us humans. It does not seem to have a divine soul. In this case, we must find a way to integrate the divine weapons with their bodies.
Connected together."
Jin Kui thought and said.
He was deducing the casting process of the Tightening Curse in his mind, and naturally discovered the secret of the Tightening Curse.
Now they are not trying to cast the existing Tightening Curse, but based on the Tightening Spell, they are going to forge a magical weapon that can control the life and death of spiritual insects.
"What Deputy Pavilion Master Jin said makes sense, that's what I think..."
Zhou Shu also spoke.
Just as the two were discussing how to cast the tightening curse, suddenly, the spirit insect that was stepped on by Zhou Shu let out a shrill scream.
The scream was very sharp and sudden. Although Zhou Shu immediately exerted force with his feet and knocked the spirit insect unconscious, the scream had already spread far away.
"Rumble——"
The cry spread outside the city, and all the spirit insects rioted at the same time, and they also made a sharp cry.
The sound is like a relay, constantly spreading to farther places.
Even if they didn't know what the cry meant, Zhou Shu and Jin Kui looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
"It's broken. This spirit insect must have passed on the news."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that a large number of spiritual insects will attack soon, and Tongguan City may not be able to defend it."
"Unless reinforcements arrive——"
"Reinforcements are impossible."
Jin Kui shook his head and said, "Tongguan City is located in a remote area. The superiors did not pay much attention to it and would not easily send reinforcements. Moreover, the superiors are now short of manpower and cannot spare much effort to rescue Tongguan City." p>
Jin Kui is the deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion, so he naturally knows more inside information than Zhou Shu.
Since he said so, there is no need to count on reinforcements in Tongguan City.
"Then we can only rely on our tight spell."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "As long as we can cast the tightening curse, we can control the life and death of the spiritual insects."
"When the time comes, the leaders of those spirit insects will be controlled, and the group of spirit insects will have to bow their heads and obey orders!"
Zhou Shu's eyes flashed with light and he said in a deep voice.
"But our deduction has not been successful yet——"
Jin Kui said with some worry.
Although it is only a transformation based on the Tightening Curse, transforming a magic weapon is incomparable to re-creating a magic weapon, but its difficulty is also not small.
Although the two of them have just been discussing it for a long time, they have not yet succeeded.
If he wants to truly successfully improve the tightening curse, Jin Kui estimates that it won't take more than a year or a half, and I'm afraid it won't work.
"We are casting and trying at the same time. I believe we will succeed!"
Zhou Shu said categorically.
Now there is no time to wait for them to perfect the deduction before casting, so just cross the river by feeling the stones and give it a try.
Maybe during the casting process, a flash of inspiration will lead to success!
With that said, Zhou Shu didn't wait for Jin Kui to agree, and already grabbed the spirit insect and walked towards the Wu Mansion.
Jin Kui sighed and followed quickly.
……
Outside the city, Ge Changlong and the soldiers from Tongguan City were frantically killing spirit insects.
However, the number of these spiritual insects seems to be increasing as they are killed. As far as the eye can see, there are still overwhelming spiritual insects.
"City Lord, don't you feel that there are more and more spiritual insects? Isn't it a true outbreak of insect plague?" New
Ma Qianli brandished the tiger-wing knife, chopped several spiritual insects into two pieces, rushed to Ge Changlong's side, and said loudly.
"Humph, they won't be able to reproduce so much in a short period of time, and they won't become a plague of insects."
Ge Changlong said coldly, "The current number cannot pass the test of this city lord. There are not even a spirit insect with the strength of a deity, and they want to break through my Tongguan City. It's a dream!"
"Boom——"
Before Ge Changlong finished speaking, a dazzling white light suddenly came straight towards him.
Ge Changlong didn't have time to think, and slashed forward with the tiger-wing knife in his hand.
"Boom——"
Amidst the loud noise, Ge Changlong took a few steps back, and the horse Qianli beside him was thrown away by the violent energy.
"Kacha——"
The long knife in Ge Changlong's hand made a crisp sound, and cracks appeared on the blade. Then the blade turned into pieces and fell to the ground.
The tiger-wing knife in his hand was actually destroyed!
Ge Changlong narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a spiritual insect standing out from the crowd in front of him.
The previous spirit insects were only one meter long, but this one is three meters long. With its tail on the ground, its upright body is much taller than Ge Changlong.
"A spiritual insect with the strength of the Heavenly Lord!"
Ge Changlong didn't know whether he should call himself a crow's mouth. He just said that there are no spiritual insects in the realm of Tianzun, and now there is a spiritual insect in the realm of Tianzun!
Before, he was unstoppable among the spirit insects. The appearance of this spirit insect made his expression become solemn.
"Disgusting bugs!"
Ge Changlong muttered to himself.
Although the spirit insect is all white, it is not cute at all. It looks like a caterpillar or an earthworm, and there is a layer of mucus on the surface of the scales, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Ge Changlong threw aside the remaining handle of the knife, flipped his wrist, and a tiger-wing knife appeared in his hand again.
He knew that he could easily damage the magic weapon, so he carried more than one tiger-wing knife.
In the past, there were not many magic soldiers in Tongguan City, so we had to tighten our belts to get by, but now.
There are two weapon-casting divisions in Tongguan City!
One is the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion, and the other is the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion!
Under such circumstances, does he, Ge Changlong, still have to worry about not having enough magic weapons?
"Tianzun and Tianzun are different. This city lord has not killed insects in the realm of Tianzun!"
Ge Changlong laughed loudly, "Today, let me kill one of my city lords for a look. By the way, I will also make my second brother's Tiger Wing Sword famous!"
Ge Changlong merged his human sword with his sword and pounced towards the spirit insect in the Heavenly Realm.
Just when he was entangled with the spirit insect, another spirit insect of the Tianzun realm appeared and directly entangled Jin Kui's Tianzun guard.
At the same time, spiritual insects continued to swarm from the distance. In an instant, Tongguan City was filled with spiritual insects, completely swamping the army of Tongguan City.
"Not good!"
On the top of Tongguan City, the faces of Zhan and others who were still watching changed drastically.
"The spirit insects seem to be going crazy. They are making all-out efforts and won't stop until Tongguan City is breached. There are not enough troops outside the city to stop them!"
Zhan said in a deep voice, "We can't let Tongguan City be breached now, let's help block it!"
"But our duty is to protect you—"
A person from the ancient heaven hesitated.
"If Tongguan City is destroyed, your plans will be affected. You don't need our protection. No one in Tongguan City can hurt him."
Zhan said, his body exploded with light, and he jumped directly from the top of the city._&
