chewing dragon

Chapter 119
"A crane counts a thousand years of life, and a pine age lasts forever!"

Speaking of which, Qi Jingzhi, who lives in Xiaosongshan, Songling County, is no stranger to this. Many people in the county like to use these two sentences, whether they are celebrating the birthday of the elders or posting Spring Festival couplets for the New Year.

But before that, he was preconceived by the combination of cranes and peach blossoms, and he was also dark under the lights. He never thought that the ten thousand hectares of pine forests on Xiaosong Mountain, which had been common since he was a child, would have any connection with "The Book of Immortal Feathers". The title of the song "Wind in the Valley of Pine", but after finding that the song fits perfectly, I still didn't think about it.

Who knows that this seemingly ordinary auspicious saying was actually written in the notes of the music score of "Wind in the Pines of the Thousand Valleys".

For a moment, Qi Jingzhi had countless thoughts in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more frightening he became.

"Lu Yunzi, who possessed the fragments of "The Immortal Feather Classic", died in Xiaosong Mountain in Songling County, and I, an ordinary hunter in the mountains, had a small bronze mirror hidden in my body that never moved. Fly out and refine Lu Yunzi into a spirit corpse, and help me learn the "Xian Yu Jing"!"

If a moment ago Qi Jingzhi still felt that the chances of meeting and dispersing were too wonderful, then at this moment he only felt terrible.

"Miss Mu, may I ask who wrote the "Lingmiao Tianyin Pu", and who left the annotations on the music score of "Wind in the Pines of Thousand Valleys"?"

As if she had expected Qi Jingzhi to ask this question, Mu Yingxian immediately shook her head and said, "I know what you want to ask. As far as I know, "Lingmiao Tianyinpu" is not the inheritance of Xianyu Mountain."

"This set of music scores was obtained by accident when I was young. It is extremely secretive and incomplete. In particular, the names of people and geography involved in it have been erased. I don't know who compiled it, who made notes, or who Who edited and kept it secret.”

With that said, Mu Yingxian turned her head to look at Qi Jingzhi, and added: "Actually, there were two music scores I found at the time, one thick and the other thin. There is also the music score of the Ji family's civil and military lyre, oh, the Jiang family calls it the Yanhuang Qizheng Qin."

"In short, the ages of these piano scores are far apart, and the styles of music are also different. It should be collected by a certain orthodox school over the years."

"The other thin book is a five-string zither book, which is the "Flying Dragon Calling the Rain Book" written by Yanhuang Zhu Xiangshi. Unlike "Lingmiao Tianyin Book", this latter book is very complete, without any Deletion."

Seeing Qi Jingzhi's surprised expression, Mu Yingxian couldn't help but chuckled: "Brother Qi is right, I gave Lin Pu to Old Man Deng. Except for a companion flying sword, he has nothing on his upper body. , two-sleeve breeze, what can I exchange for the heart of the red heart tree?"

"Now that he has moved to Shuxin, he presumably hid and retreated. Otherwise, I should have heard Brother Qi's name from him long ago, and I wouldn't have caused the previous misunderstanding."

Qi Jingzhi couldn't care less about Deng Fuqing's whereabouts at the moment. Since Mu Yingxian said that "Lingmiao Tianyinpu" should have nothing to do with Xianyu Mountain, if there is really something hidden behind the "Xianyujing" he obtained, it is probably suspected It will fall on the small bronze mirror.

Having figured this out, he couldn't help turning his eyes to the green Yaoqin lying on the girl's lap.The scene where this piano appeared out of thin air earlier is so similar to the small bronze mirror!
Therefore, Qi Jingzhi still raised a question that he was most concerned about tonight: "Miss Mu, I see that this piano is quite miraculous. Could it be a spiritual weapon that can only be refined by those with great supernatural powers?"

This question was obviously beyond Mu Yingxian's expectation. She gave Qi Jingyi a strange look, and then shook her head: "This is my companion Qin Ling, and it's still not a spiritual weapon."

"Accompanied by Qin Ling?"

Qi Jingzhi felt his heart skip a beat, and immediately asked: "What is the Companion Qin Ling? Miss Mu mentioned earlier that Senior Deng's Companion Feijian, although both are companions, but in my opinion, the two seem to be different. Too the same?"

Mu Yingxian's thoughts were clear, and she immediately noticed that Qi Jingzhi's mood was different.

This time, she thought for a while before explaining: "Brother Qi should have just stepped into the second realm not long ago, so it's not uncommon to not know about it. In fact, it's nothing unusual. There are some people with great luck in this world who are born with Spiritual things accompany each other, which is called accompanying life.”

"There are generally two kinds of companions. One is more common in the spirits raised by nature. For example, Dengsou was born from the same root as Bitao Feijian. It can control the sword as soon as it takes shape. It is a natural sword fairy seed."

"Most of these accompanying objects have quality but no spirit. They are a bit like corpses of spirit weapons that have lost their spirituality. They need to be cultivated by the owner of the weapon with the help of their own spirituality. Some are very special, and even require the owner of the tool to enter the third stage. Afterwards, climb up to the altar and guide the lost spirits, and then you can make a spiritual weapon. As for what is the altar, and how to receive it, I won’t go into details to prevent brother Qi from developing a barrier of knowledge and vision.”

"There is another kind of accompanying life, which is just the opposite. It is a kind of artifact spirit that comes out of nowhere and is born with the owner of the artifact. Most of these artifact spirits have no vision at the beginning, and they are only warmed in the main body of the artifact. Only when the second state of the master is completed, can it manifest together with the mind of the master of the vessel."

"The latter kind of companionship is more common in the blessed human race. I heard that there are jade titles, swords, totas, and bells... In short, there are so many tricks and different powers."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart.

The latter situation Mu Yingxian mentioned, except for the wrong timing of manifestation, the rest of the description is similar to the small bronze mirror!
As for the timing of manifestation, what Mu Yingxian said was mostly the same, so it can be seen that there are still exceptions.Presumably it was because the mirror surface of the small bronze mirror was damaged, and it needed to be repaired urgently like Qi Huchan, so it had to be manifested in advance.

It is naturally not easy to manifest in advance, and it is no wonder that the mirror always does not see the rabbit and does not cast the eagle. Even if the true form is revealed with the help of the dream in the pillow, he can still move without moving. Qi Jingzhi's cultivation is too low. Not moving is also normal.

At the same time, the mirror has always been only interested in spiritual things, and has always devoured spirits and left their corpses, maybe it is what they eat to make up for them. This is another proof that the mirror is a companion spirit.

Qi Jingzhi finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for a long time.The small bronze mirror is not some kind of evil spirit, but a companion mirror spirit, which is undoubtedly the best result for him.As for whether it is true or not, it will be clear when his mentality manifests in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help thinking of Qi Huchan and Chi Jinzhu.

Although Mu Yingxian's Qin spirit and his own mirror spirit are different, they are more like utensils than living things.Compared with these two accompanying spirits, Qi Huchan, as an extension of Qi Jing's spirituality and mind, is more inclined to the gods born of sacrifices, and the snake and tiger on the red gold beads are obviously similar to the platinum mouse. The essence of gold and jade is very similar.

"This artifact alone is already extremely mysterious. I really don't know how many wonderful peaks and wonderful scenery there are on this road of cultivation!"

Qi Jingzhi was quite excited, and then pondered for a while, drawing inferences: "I roughly understand that a spiritual weapon can only be called a spiritual weapon if it has spirit and quality. The first kind of accompanying life that Miss Mu said is that it has quality first, and then Cultivating spirits, recruiting spirits, the latter is just the opposite if you think about it?"

Playing the piano and chatting for a while, Mu Yingxian was amazed by Qi Jingzhi's superb comprehension in rhythm and practice, and gradually got used to his keen thinking and occasional ecstasy.

She didn't feel disobedient at the young man's distraction just now, she just gave him a half-smile, nodded and said, "That's right! After the accompanying spirit manifests, the owner of the weapon has to search for the corresponding spiritual material to refine it according to the picture. Make the device embryo, and then combine the device spirit and the device embryo into one."

"Although the steps are sequential, they all lead to the same goal in the end, and no matter which one it is, to completely fuse the weapon with the spirit and refine it into a perfect and flawless spiritual weapon, you must be a great monk who ignites the Dao Fire in the fourth realm."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being surprised.Zhu Yihou and Deng Fuqing's supernatural powers are only at the third level. If they want to refine spirit weapons, they have to cultivate to the fourth level. It's no wonder that Zhu Yihou wants to raise some kind of dragon ship ghost.

He couldn't help sighing: "This requirement is too high, no wonder I have heard people say that spiritual weapons in this world are extremely precious and rare."

"That's not necessarily the case. People who live on the plains don't see any mountains, so they think that there are no mountains in the world, or they regard the small mound in front of their house as a mountain. This kind of mentality is a big taboo for my generation of monks."

Mu Yingxian's eyes were burning, and his voice was sonorous: "Brother Qi is extremely talented. Given time, you will be able to see the real mountains and peaks reaching the sky! When you climb to the top, look back at the road you came from, and you will know what it means. 'Dragon does not live with snakes'!"

Qi Jingzhi was silent when he heard the words, recalled the true meaning repeatedly, and then nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Qi Jingzhi has been taught!"

With his intelligence, he naturally knew that Mu Yingxian's words were as tactful as possible.This mysterious girl seems to be so confiding because of "Wind in the Pines", she regards herself as a bosom friend.

Of course Qi Jingzhi is willing to be friends with Mu Yingxian, but whether he can do it or not depends on whether he is a dragon or a snake.

If one is on the top of the mountain and the other is at the foot of the mountain, separated by pines, ravines, and clouds, and never see each other again, then nothing will be mentioned.

For Qi Jingzhi's thanks, Mu Yingxian didn't seem to take it seriously, and continued with a slight smile: "If you are really anxious, you can naturally find a teacher in the fourth realm to refine the weapon on your behalf. Will take this shortcut..."

"They will often wait until their cultivation level is reached, refine it with their own Daohuo, and finally achieve the most suitable innate natal weapon! Before that, the accompanying spirit was not so much a weapon, but more like a weapon unique to the owner. There is a magical technique."

Qi Jingzhi almost immediately thought of the refining ability of the small bronze mirror, nodded immediately, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Miss Mu has never asked a teacher to do it for her, and she is also a person with great perseverance and ambition. ?”

"That's natural! If I don't have such ambition and determination, how can I be worthy of this Yaoqin, and how can I play the wonderful heavenly tone?"

The beautiful and dusty girl kept her eyes straight and her eyes were shining brightly, and she confessed quickly.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly smiled, and unexpectedly changed her tone again: "Actually, taking shortcuts is not necessarily a bad thing. What I said earlier, was more or less painless when standing up and talking. It's just because my companion spirit is a piano, and I don't need to be like a soldier." Fighting like a blade, the power of playing piano music with it is enough, so naturally you can afford it more than others."

"Besides, I have never found all the spiritual materials to make a violin, and I can't even take shortcuts."

Listening to Mu Yingxian's voice, Qi Jingzhi was not surprised that there was a fourth-level supernatural power behind her, but took it for granted.

"I don't know what spiritual materials Miss Mu needs to make a piano?" He asked immediately, so that he could have a reference in the future.

"To refine an innate natal instrument, one must naturally choose the spiritual material that best matches the spirit of the instrument. On this basis, the more rare and miraculous the better. Take my violin as an example..."

Mu Yingxian showed the Yaoqin in his hand to Qi Jingzhi: "I named it 'Jiuxiao Huanpei', and its shape is the most ancient Fuhuang style. The strings should be five strings, which can be manifested." When it came out, it became Qixian, it should be influenced by my preferences during the cultivation, and at the same time, the credit of "Lingmiao Tianyin Pu" is indispensable."

"Lingmiao Tianyin, Jiuxiao Huanpei... these names are very suitable. In this way, the accompanying spirit is not solidified at birth, but will change with the owner's mind and skills?" Qi Jingzhi asked immediately. , This is related to whether the mirror can be repaired well.

"That's natural! As the owner of the weapon, I should be able to change the spirit of the weapon. If it doesn't follow my wishes, how can I refine it into the innate natal weapon that best suits me?"

Mu Yingxian raised her pretty face slightly, with a proud expression on her face. She immediately turned the piano over, pointed to the top of the back of the piano and said, "This is the moment when I achieve my vision!"

Qi Jingzhi followed what she was pointing at, and saw the four ancient seal characters "Jiuxiao Huanpei" imposingly engraved there. Presumably this is the way the girl named the accompanying Qin Ling, she was really domineering.

Mu Yingxian moved her fingers horizontally, pointing to the bottom of the "Jiuxiao Huanpei" and said: "The rest of these inscriptions are from the time when the Qin spirit manifested, and the words and sentences are all from the "Lingmiao Tianyinpu"."

Qi Jingzhi then looked around and saw a row of much smaller characters on the left and right under the four seal characters.

Right engraved: "Not in the prehistoric world, I look forward to the ancient people. With my pure ears, listen to this ancient sound."

Left engraved: "Exceeding the sky, riding on the emptiness. Happy Taiji, what to worry about?"

"The four sentences on the right have helped me to achieve my heart. The four sentences on the left have helped me to survive the calamity of the gods."

Mu Yingxian said eloquently, even if it was the secret of her own cultivation, she did not hide it in the slightest: "These two words were inscribed before the qin spirit manifested, and they are tied to my cultivation, but they cannot be changed, but in the future What to engrave must be up to me!"

Pointing to the large blank space on the back of the piano, she spoke proudly and firmly: "I've already thought up four lines of poems, and the day they are engraved will be the day when Jiuxiao Huanpei is born!"

The girl's tone is really not small, the implication is that after she has carved the four lines of poems, she will definitely be able to enter the fourth realm, become a great supernatural being who ignites Daohuo, and refine the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant into an innate natal weapon .

"Excellent! Miss Mu has profound cultivation and lofty aspirations, and she is just around the corner to step into the fourth realm!"

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help applauding and applauding, then changed the topic and repeated the old saying: "The only thing to worry about is that the spiritual materials for refining the weapon are not yet ready, and I don't know how rare materials are needed to make such a precious piano?"

This is which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted. Mu Yingxian's expression froze, and then she glanced at him with some embarrassment: "The most rare spiritual materials are naturally the Pearl of the Emperor Green, the horn of the deer, the silk of the silkworm king, and the tung tree." Do what you want!"

The names of these spiritual materials are quite bluffing, and Qi Jingzhi has never heard of them.

"The tung tree is a qin, and the strings are made of glue. There is nothing to say about the latter two. The more precious the better. The first two are used to make the gray body of the piano surface..."

Mu Yingxian turned the Jiuxiao ring pendant back, pointed to the turquoise warm lacquer surface and explained: "The so-called gray tires are mostly made of lacquer and antler cream. The tone also has a huge impact.”

"The so-called antler cream is a powder made by boiling antlers into glue and grinding the remaining bone residue. Luthiers often add pearl powder, lapis lazuli powder, turquoise powder and the like to the antler cream to make eight The precious gray tire makes the surface of the piano dazzling."

"I've already figured it out. Si and Tong can make do with it, but this gray tire can't be sloppy at all! In the future, the gray tire of Jiuxiao Huanpei must use antler cream made of divine antlers, and then add the powder of Emperor Qing Orb! I must make the Jiuxiao Huanpei the most beautiful piano in the world!"

In the end, Mu Yingxian's eyes were as bright as stars.
