The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year.
There was a lot of excitement on New Year's Eve, and after midnight, it was already the first day of the new year.
The five little ghosts finally dispersed and disappeared without a trace. The tired children finally stopped and gathered in Wei Hao's home to sleep.
After all, I was afraid of what might happen.
The Ring-bearing Skeleton General chatted with Wei Hao until dawn, and then returned to Dry Bones Mountain. After telling Wei Hao to be careful, he submerged into Dry Bones Mountain again.
When the first ray of sunshine appeared on the first day of the new year, Wufeng County Magistrate Wang Shouyu appeared again with his troops. However, after seeing the huge monster corpse, he did not act stupidly and ran to fight for credit. Instead, he organized people to check the disaster situation.
, put aside the credit first, and pick up the hard work first.
I also ordered Master to invite people from the Department of Health and Welfare. At critical moments, disaster relief depends on money.
After a busy period, Wang Shouyu cautiously asked Wei Hao: "Elephant, this monster will not come out in the first month, right?"
"My lord, there are so many monsters in this world, don't worry."
"Well……"
Wang Shouyu naturally didn't believe it. He was a little scared when he saw the corpse of "Son of Xi Beast". He walked around to Wei Hao's side, rolled his eyes and whispered: "Elephant, I am the magistrate of Wufeng County. I know Jian'er to ward off demons."
If you don't reward me, you are really incompetent. When you return to the government office, I will order someone to build a stone and erect a monument to inscribe the story of New Year's Eve."
"Don't worry, Lord County, all the big monsters are dead, and the little monsters will naturally not appear. Killing chickens to scare monkeys, the effect is very good."
"Ha, yes, yes..."
He nodded repeatedly, but Wang Shouyu, being cautious, planned to go back to the Yamen after a while. He still had to start the work of laying stones and erecting monuments. Then, archways were erected at the entrances of the two villages in Weijiawan.
Others are tribute memorial arches, and there are few memorial arches for people to be celebrated, but this one is extraordinary. The "Red Man Juman" subjugates demons and protects a party. Not only is he qualified, but it is even more special.
When someone sees that Ju Ren has the nerve to erect an archway, he will definitely laugh at him. Only when he gets closer and takes a closer look will he be convinced.
Wang Shouyu left his name on it and took advantage of it, which can be regarded as a good talk.
In particular, Wang Shouyu was certain that Wei Hao would be able to shine in the "Chunwei", and he might be ranked second in the Ming Dynasty Science Department. When the time comes, he would have someone else build a memorial arch, and he would be able to take advantage of it.
Anyway, it’s the county government’s money, and you don’t have to pay for it yourself, so why not?
So Wang Shouyu laughed and left the soldiers and government officials to help clean up the ruins of Weijiawan. He said goodbye and immediately returned to the county seat. He found skilled craftsmen and planned to design several sets of plans within the first month.
Forget about the cornices and brackets, the "Red Hero Juden" is so prestigious, don't use any wood, just stones.
Originally, the craftsmen were complaining endlessly, but they actually had to work overtime in the New Year. It was... great!
I have no choice but to give you money.
Small jobs cost three and a half taels, large jobs cost five taels, and the recorded craftsmen all started at ten taels.
Just a quick calculation, ten days and a half of work is all it takes, and a strong and powerful demon slayer is here to help. If you don't make money, wouldn't you be stupid?
Wei Hao didn't know that there was so much work, he was busy sorting out Xi Shaojun's flesh and blood.
After giving Xi Shaojun a massage, the flesh and blood of the son of the mythical beast was piled on the ice. If you have a good one in winter, you are not afraid that the flesh will suddenly go bad.
"The Evil God"
Although it was beaten to a low level by Wei Hao, it was still an earthly immortal and a divine beast. If it was not dealt with, ordinary people would eat it and die suddenly on the spot.
Fortunately, with Sister Bai here, all the meat has been processed and then dried, so it will not be a problem to eat it for several years.
As for Xi Shaojun's bones and horns, Wei Hao was thinking about making weapons.
Especially that horn, which has the ability to freeze and freeze. After being refined, it will definitely be a magical weapon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the bank of the Qingmu River, Wei Hao and Gouzi forged "Xijiao".
Wei's Tiangong creation method is quite special, and the processing temperature is relatively high. When it goes up, it will be a white and bluish flame, which will make the "Xijiao" sparks shoot out.
Gouzi used Xi Shaojun's skull as a stove, and he spit fire into it.
One person and one dog, so the blacksmithing work started on the first day of the first lunar month.
"Gentleman, this 'Xijiao' is really not simple. Beating it will actually lower the temperature."
"After all, it is an innate magical power. As long as there is still energy left in it, it will continue to exert its power. We only need to use up the last bit of energy."
There is no need to be anxious in blacksmithing. The dog breathes fire rhythmically, which can be called a dog-shaped bellows.
Wei Hao became a ruthless blacksmithing machine. After Xi Jiao was forged and tempered again and again, the ice he finally released became weaker and weaker.
When there is no more cold air coming out, the entire sunset corner becomes transparent.
"about there."
Wei Hao circulated his energy and blood, wrapping the Xijiao that no longer had any power, and then noticed two very subtle characteristics. One was that he could sense the little Xi beasts that were completely dormant in the "City in the Palm";
It turns out that Xijiao has another ability besides freezing and freezing.
Very faint, but still there.
This sunset can actually delay external objects, even if it's just for a moment, but it does.
When Gouzi was spitting out fireworks, Wei Hao controlled Xijiao and found that Gouzi's fireworks suddenly slowed down in flames.
Although it took a blink of an eye, the fire was still raging, but Wei Hao was overjoyed: "Xiao Wang, this Young Master Xi is really kind-hearted. He knows that we are short of good treasures, so he specially sent one to us."
"Gentleman, have you discovered anything again?"
"Try increasing the firepower."
"Is it too much? This Xijiao no longer releases freezing air."
"You'll know after you try it. Increase the firepower."
"okay!"
When Gouzi opens his mouth and spits out, he can ignite mana fireworks and spray them directly onto the sunset corner.
However, the moment the fire pillar was about to touch the sunset, the lag of the fire pillar was clearly visible. It seemed to be in slow motion and did not impact at its original speed.
After Gouzi saw it, he immediately shut up and was shocked: "What a danger! This 'Son of Xi Beast' turns out to have something hidden!"
"No, it shouldn't know it itself. This should be Xi Beast's innate instinct hidden in its blood. It's just that after Xi Shaojun became an Earth Immortal for 50,000 years, he never seriously examined his qualifications. We often say, 'Know yourself and know your enemy.
It is equally difficult to know one's own shortcomings and strengths. For example, Xi Shaojun, his weapon against the enemy is actually on his body, but he doesn't know it. This is a typical example of not knowing himself. "
After Wei Hao finished speaking, he recalled the look in the eyes of the "Ancient Xi Emperor", "No wonder the 'Ancient Xi Emperor' is concerned. I'm afraid it's not that he is worried about Xi Shaojun's son, but that his bloodline magical powers will be taken away."
"Think about it. The three divine beasts of 'Nian Sui Xi' are actually related to time. It is not impossible to have such magical powers."
"Wouldn't it be similar if you were to cast a spell such as the Immobilization Technique?"
"I don't practice magic, and I'm not afraid at all. How can I fix my body? This kind of innate magical power is quite mysterious. I guess it may coincide with some kind of rules, and the three divine beasts of 'Nian Sui Xi' may be able to borrow it. Just like me
"Carrying the hope of the public", speaking of it, also borrowed the rules. At that moment, people wanted to survive extremely strongly. They were weak individuals and could not do it, but they gathered their willpower and entrusted it to me, so "the hope of the public" appeared.
of great power.”
Wei Hao thought for a while and said to Gouzi, "Xijiao, this may be the same situation. After all, the legend of 'New Year's Eve' has gone through countless eras. It is not impossible for Xijiao to borrow time and the power contained in the legend.
"
"Will someone reverse time and space and reverse time?" Gouzi drew inferences and discovered this possibility.
"Maybe it can, but it's definitely not that easy. Furthermore, maybe even if it can be changed, what changes is the beast's own time. There are as many lives as there are in the world, and there may be countless worlds and countless
What about you and me?”
"Well……"
Gouzi raised his paw and scratched his head, "If I could travel through time, I would have to be well-behaved to avoid being beaten, and then come to Wufeng County to find you, gentleman, as soon as possible."
"Is your father so harsh on you?"
Wei Hao was stunned. Gouzi's biological father was a frontier army ferocious dog who received a retired salary, and he should be quite spiritual, otherwise there would be no son like Wang Zhaixing.
"The old dog's mouth is not serious, but if he is lazy, he bites the back of the neck and throws it wildly..."
Mentioning this, Gouzi shivered subconsciously, dogs are born with impermanence, dogs are born with impermanence.
"Old dog..."
There is nothing wrong with this title, but when it comes from Wang Zhaixing's mouth, it always feels a little bit hateful.
After Xijiao cooled down completely, it gradually shrank to the size of two feet.
Holding the already completely transparent Xijiao, Wei Hao couldn't put it down: "This just happens to be a spear, and it's heavy enough. It's very handy."
After weighing it, the weight actually fluctuated.
As Qi and blood fill it, the weight rises straight up; just by holding it, it weighs about two thousand kilograms.
Holding the spear in one hand, he thrust it forward, and a cold light suddenly bloomed from the tip of the horn, and the ice and snow were released instantly.
"Good baby, but it can still be modified."
Wei Hao was very happy and planned to cut the evening corner into two pieces, one foot and eight feet, and use it as a horse spear. The remaining two feet were forged together with the ancestral sword, so that he could have such long and short weapons.
This prevents you from having to twist the sword every time you see a long weapon on the other side.
I was busy until night. When I was eating, I suddenly saw a carriage and horses coming from Chenghuang Temple.
When Wei Hao saw that it was the ceremonial guard for the city emperor's trip, he knew that Qin Wen was weak.
Just as he was about to go up and say hello, he saw Qin Wenruo waving repeatedly on the carriage but saying nothing.
Wei Hao knew something was going on, so he stepped forward to wait for the bus.
Seeing the car door closed, Qin Wenruo said hurriedly: "Something big happened last night!"
"Xi Shaojun, the son of the 'Ancient Xi Emperor', has been executed."
"It's not this, it's not this..." Qin Wenruo had sweat beads strangely appearing on his forehead at this time, "Last night I was rowing in Huangquan to Wufeng County, but suddenly there was a storm in Huangquan, and the direction of the storm was '
Ohnozawa. There were dozens of city emperors at that time, and they all saw clearly that the ghosts that were supposed to come to the underworld were actually snatched away by others. I knew at that time that there must be no problem with Ohnozawa's life and death book.
!”
"The 'seventy-two thousand' person died in vain?!"
"Exactly! Originally, the underworld does not care about the affairs of the underworld, but the reward for good and the punishment of evil are also related to the willpower of the underworld, but it still depends on the wishes of the kings and ministers in the human world. Anyway, the purpose of the underworld is to gather the souls of the dead."
Qin Wenruo continued, "But the problem this time is that the 'seventy-two thousand' ghosts were kidnapped in vain. I didn't dare to find out. Two city emperors spoke upright and were actually killed. I think
After much deliberation, I'd better discuss it with you. I'm afraid there will be a big problem in the underworld, and there must be something wrong with the new five kings of hell!"
"Wait! 'Ohnozawa' is already dead?!"
Wei Hao suddenly realized that he had already known that "Onezawa" had been hooked on 72,000 people who died in vain, but Wei Hao didn't know when such a change would happen. He never expected that it would be New Year's Eve?
!
"Shrunk to an inch... Appeared in the Five Peaks... Great Sage Water Ape..."
Thinking about his quarrel with "Oye Earth Immortal" again, Wei Hao suddenly thought that it might be the "Earth Soul Incarnation" of the Water Ape Great Sage who went to collect "Ono Ze"'s seventy-two thousand dead in vain.
After they succeeded, they immediately came to Wufeng County. After all, they had plenty of time and could shrink the territory to an inch.
But he was blocked by the ring-bearing skeleton general.
"Mr. Qin, you came here to tell me, no one knows, right?"
"I don't even dare to row a boat. I travel with a guard of honor because I'm afraid of being stared at."
Qin Wenruo was not stupid. When he was alive, he had the courage to block the breach because he had the confidence to block it. Now that it was clear that something was wrong in the underworld, if he still ran to provoke a provocation regardless of everything, it would be fine if he died.
"I also ask Mr. Qin not to wander around in the Chenghuang Temple from now on. This time the disaster may be caused by the Great Sage Water Ape. If he fights alone, he is no match for him. You must take care of yourself and don't take risks easily."
After repeated reminders and warnings, Qin Wenruo agreed and then left.
