Chapter 88: Variant
Su Yun tucked his left hand into his sleeve, while his right hand pocketed two things: the first was the ash-turned-flesh of the calamity grey monster, and the second was the wooden box given to him by Lou Ban!
Lou Ban and Su Yun had set up a stall together at the Ghost Market of Tianmen in Tian Shi Yuan. The wooden box had not been sold since his death, and no one dared to fulfill his posthumous wish.
Su Yun was preparing to leave Tian Shi Yuan for the city when he met Lou Ban by chance at the temple of a big shot. Lou Ban stuffed the wooden box into his hand without saying anything.
Lou Ban only told him that the wooden box was a key and asked Su Yun to go to the underground of Shuo Fang City to see if what he had hidden before his death was still there.
Su Yun had been carrying the wooden box with him all the time, treating it as a treasure, as precious as a fairy's lock.
The wooden box had been motionless all along, like a solid piece of wood. But now, the wooden box suddenly became restless!
"When Lou Ban's stall friend mentioned the city below, he didn't mean the city wall or the tower, but the underground of Shuo Fang City!"
Su Yun grabbed the wooden box, and his palm was numb from the vibrations. He quickly took the wooden box out of his pocket.
The wooden box buzzed and was almost impossible to grasp.
Soon, Su Yun noticed that the box was not vibrating, but that it was made up of countless small squares that were almost invisible to the naked eye.
For some reason, these small squares were constantly self-reorganizing and reconstructing, causing the shape of the box to change from the inside out!
Because the small squares that made up the box had changed from the inside, he thought the box was vibrating. But now that the box had changed to the outside, he discovered the clue!
In the blink of an eye, the wooden box turned into a three-foot wooden sword. Su Yun grabbed the hilt of the wooden sword, and the sword body was reconstructed. Suddenly, there was a light sound of buzzing, and the tip of the sword bounced up.
Just then, a whistling sound came from far away and approached quickly. Su Yun's heart skipped a beat: "Serpent Sword! The one who killed the cow just now was the Serpent Sword that the whole village uses to cut their own skin for metamorphosis! My wooden sword is probably..."
He had just thought of this when the wooden sword collided with the Serpent Sword. With a light sound of "chirp," Su Yun felt the wooden sword in his hand sink slightly and then return to normal.
Whizz...
A snow-white broken sword flew past Su Yun's ear. He quickly turned his head and saw that the broken sword was the Serpent Sword, which had been cut in half and was flying unsteadily, making a louder noise.
Under the mountain cliff, there were stone pillars like forests, and a black-clothed Taoist opened his mouth. The broken sword flew into his mouth and turned into a broken tooth.
The black-clothed Taoist was Jiao Shu'Ao, who ate with the whole village. He frowned slightly and said, "I've met a master who broke my sword."
There was a light laughter beside him. "Uncle Ao, I will teach you the True Dragon's Sixteen Chapters, which are very suitable for you. Your strength is already at a first-class level in Shuo Fang City, and there are not many people who can break your sword."The person speaking was the young girl Wu Tong, still wearing her red dress, walking on the black ground, looking extremely eye-catching.
Jiao Shu'Ao frowned and said, "But this person cut off my sword."
"Did you feel the clash of Qi?" Wu Tong asked.
Jiao Shu'Ao shook his head.
"That's it."
Wu Tong smiled, "If you didn't feel the clash of Qi, it means that the opponent's spiritual weapon is extremely sharp, not that his cultivation is higher than yours. Don't worry. Use the Dragon Tooth Chapter I taught you to refine another Dragon Tooth Sword, and you won't be cut by his treasure again."
Jiao Shu'Ao agreed and followed her, blood and Qi surging in his nose and mouth. He pulled out a tooth and put it in his mouth to refine the Dragon Tooth Sword.
"Is this sword really made of wood?" Su Yun raised the wooden sword in surprise, wanting to examine it under the Gray Robbery Lamp, but afraid of exposing himself.
"The wooden box was probably triggered by some kind of power here and turned into a wooden sword," Wu Tong explained.
Su Yun gently touched the wooden sword, feeling warm and smooth, not like a metal object. But it was difficult to forge wood so delicately. It was probably because Lou Ban used some kind of special material.
The wooden sword was seamless, and it was impossible to feel that it was made up of countless small squares that were invisible to the naked eye. The exquisite forging technique was amazing.
"Did the wooden box turn into a sword because the key was in the shape of a sword, or because I was thinking about the immortal sword behind the Heavenly Gate?" Su Yun analyzed his own thoughts. He had always been most worried about that immortal sword, afraid that he would lose his life the next time he entered another world.
It was very likely that his thoughts had unconsciously affected the small wooden block, and he had to eliminate this possibility.
"What if I'm thinking about my Big Yellow Bell?" He dismissed distracting thoughts and visualized the Big Yellow Bell.
Suddenly, his hand vibrated with a buzzing sound. After a while, the wooden sword disappeared, replaced by a yellow bell. The seven layers of the yellow bell's scale were constantly rotating, and there were even dense gears turning inside!
Su Yun stared at the yellow bell for a while and whispered, "The scale of the gears is not very accurate. If the scale rotates for a year, it will have an error of one second. It seems that Lou Ban's method of carving scale is not entirely accurate."
When he was studying the Old Saint Classic, Mr. Fox taught him how to cut circles and calculate pi. Lou Ban's method was similar, also using the method of cutting circles. Those tiny blocks that were almost imperceptible were the embodiment of the method of cutting circles.
If the method of cutting circles could be infinitely subdivided, the blocks would be infinitely small, and the calculation of time would become more and more accurate, but it would never calculate the correct time, and there would always be some errors.
"By the way, it's strange that the small wooden block turned into a yellow bell." Su Yun scratched his head, feeling a little slow.
This kind of change was similar to the immortal map in the world behind the Heavenly Gate, which would change with other people's thoughts, which was very strange.
Su Yun's thoughts moved slightly, "I wonder if the wooden block that turned into a yellow bell can merge perfectly with my Big Yellow Bell? If it can, does that mean that I have my own spiritual weapon?"
Above his head, the spiritual weapon Big Yellow Bell appeared slowly, much larger than the small wooden clock in Su Yun's hand.Moreover, the marks of dragon, monkey, bi fang, and sun and moon appeared on the hour hand of the big yellow clock, while there were no such marks on the small wooden clock.
Su Yun was thinking about how to make the two compatible, but he saw the spiritual technique of the big yellow clock gradually shrinking with his mind, gradually becoming the same size as the small wooden clock.
His heart was pounding, and he quickly suppressed his excitement, carefully overlapping the two clocks.
The big yellow clock was a spiritual technique, with formless and incorporeal nature, and could exhibit amazing power when combined with qi and blood.
After the big yellow clock was combined with the small wooden clock, the marks of dragon, monkey, bi fang, and sun and moon immediately appeared on the surface of the small wooden clock's hour hand!
Su Yun urged his qi and blood to be compatible with the clock, and saw the wooden clock become golden, with the various marks on the hour hand appearing as if they were alive, each with its own unique brilliance!
"Isn't this my spiritual weapon? Although the hour hand is not very accurate, it can still be used!"
Su Yun was both shocked and delighted, and after calming down, he whispered, "The friendship from Lou Ban's booth friend is too heavy."
He had always ignored the wooden block given to him by Lou Ban, thinking that the small wooden block was just a key, and its function was not as good as the immortal's index.
He cherished the friendship between booth friends, and only took the small wooden block to help Lou Ban fulfill his last wish. In his heart, he had no thoughts of taking advantage of Lou Ban or obtaining a treasure.
Until now, he realized the preciousness and extraordinariness of the small wooden block.
Although the techniques learned by scholars in the official school were the same, there were also anomalies like Su Yun who practiced various different techniques.
It was difficult for these scholars to refine their spiritual weapons, as they had many techniques and flexible minds, making it difficult to be bound by traditional techniques.
Their spiritual weapons were naturally more difficult to refine.
Lou Ban's innovation was equivalent to a variant spiritual weapon, using meticulous modular components as the basis to form different forms of spiritual weapons. Although it could not achieve perfect accuracy, it was enough for scholars like Su Yun who practiced multiple techniques!
Su Yun took a step forward, suddenly stepping into the air and falling down the cliff, falling more than ten zhang. The small golden clock in his hand suddenly rotated and decomposed, turning into a pair of bi fang divine wings behind him. Su Yun flapped his wings in the wind and flew into the sky!
Jiao Shu'Ao and the young girl Wu Tong had already come to the edge of the underground gray disaster city. There were busy miners and spiritual masters coming and going around them, and it was extremely strict, but these people ignored Jiao Shu'Ao and Wu Tong as if they couldn't see them.
Demons were good at manipulating human hearts and creating illusions. Even if they walked past these miners and spiritual masters, they would not notice them.
Suddenly, Jiao Shu'Ao's eyebrows moved, and he looked up at the sky. Above the underground gray disaster city was a dark area. Apart from the bronze pillars rooted in the Shuofang City, nothing else could be seen.
Shuofang City was like a towering giant tree, and these bronze pillars were like its roots, rooted in the gray disaster city.
The shock of this scene was indescribable!
"Shu'Ao, follow me."
The young girl Wu Tong turned around and smiled, "If you're too far away from me, they'll find you."
Jiao Shu'Ao calmed down and quickly followed her, saying, "There is actually such a city underground. It seems that the gray disaster factory is not just a simple disaster factory. I think the factory supervisor of the gray disaster factory wants to dig out this gray disaster city!"The young girl Wu Tong smiled and said, "This is the fearlessness of ignorance. These foolish humans think they can control everything, but they don't know that the power of Jiéhuī City is not something they can handle. It is the ashes left by the Jiéhuǒ when the previous world was destroyed, and it is the gray formed by the Qi and blood of the spiritual masters of the previous world!"
She said coldly, "There are still remnants hidden in these ashes. If we are not careful, they will reignite, and the Jiéhuǒ will ignite this world, turning Shuòfāng City, or even the entire world, into ashes! And the creatures in the remnants are the Jiéhuī monsters!"
Jiao Shu'Ao couldn't help but shudder and said, "So, I will work with the seniors to stop them. We must not let them act recklessly!"
The young girl Wu Tong showed a shallow smile and said, "Stop them? Hehe..."
