The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 418 "Destiny"

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Duan Daoji smiled slightly and said: "I only saw it in an ancient book. It has been many years. I am old and have a bad memory. I have forgotten it. I just saw my little friend. The white tiger suddenly remembered.

Hey, I originally thought that what was recorded in that ancient book was all nonsense. After all, many of the weird theories in many ancient books were eventually proven to be nonsense. Unexpectedly, the paper-cutting technique can really cut out paper spirits like 'White Tiger'. "

Duan Daoji was vague, and Lu Qian also didn't answer his question just now. If it was just revealed like this and no one mentioned it again, then this matter would be considered in the past.

This is a tacit understanding between adults.

However, when it came to the paper-cutting technique, Lu Qian could not abide by such a "tacit understanding" at this time. He continued to ask: "Mr. Duan, apart from the 'White Tiger Raging Waves' you just mentioned, are there other things in that ancient book?" Are there other paper spirits recorded?"

Duan Daoji said: "There seem to be some other paper spirits, but judging from its description, this 'White Tiger Raging Wave' should be the highest level paper spirit. Of course, as for this real paper-cutting technique, is there any more?" It’s hard to know how powerful the paper spirit is. After all, it is a broken ancient book with a lot of content missing.”

After speaking, Duan Daoji looked at Lu Qian and smiled slightly.

Lu Qian looked at him and thought to himself: "This old guy actually threw the problem back to him again."

If it had been normal, Lu Qian would have killed this "Mr. Duan" at this time, extracting his ghost and questioning him.

But at this moment, there are seven other masters on the side, and there are countless officers, soldiers and civilians. He can't kill them all.

Lu Qian just had this thought in his mind, but Daoji actually seemed to feel something. He continued quietly: "I still remember that I discussed it with my junior brother. At that time, my junior brother also felt that this book Everything recorded in ancient books is all nonsense."

Wu Changsheng explained from the side: "This old Mr. Duan is the senior fellow of the Imperial Master."

Hearing these words, Lu Qian's heart suddenly trembled.

Did Mr. Duan point his finger at what he just said?

Are you telling him: "It's useless for you to kill me to silence me. If you dare, you will kill my junior brother and the current imperial master. He has also read that ancient book."

Hearing this, Lu Qian cupped his hands and said to Duan Daoji: "I'm sorry. Thanks to the old gentleman for asking, the name of my paper spirit is indeed called 'White Tiger Raging Waves'. However, this 'White Tiger' and the White Tiger, one of the 'Four Holy Spirits', are not the same. It doesn’t matter at all.”

After speaking, Lu Qian smiled and said: "If I had the Holy Spirit in my hand, wouldn't it be... haha, hahahaha..."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

If you really want to insist that what Lu Qian just rode was the "Holy Spirit" white tiger, then these people will naturally not believe it.

Wu Changsheng smiled and said: "Brother Lu, this white tiger is already the envy of others just for its ability to fly. If I can come up with six of these white tigers, then you don't have to sit here in the East China Sea."

As he spoke, Wu Changsheng stretched out his hand, pointed at the strange ship anchored in the port on the sea, and said, "Everyone, please look, this is the ship prepared for you to go to the East China Sea."

This ship is so huge that everyone has naturally seen it before.

Wu Changsheng said: "This ship was built by the imperial court for ten years. It is made of ten-thousand-year-old oak as the main body, and is wrapped with a layer of fine iron mixed with mithril. It is not only light, but also very strong. Even if it hits a rock, it will not Can be unscathed.”

Mithril, that is a more expensive and rare material than black silver!

Lu Qian's "Blue Sea Sword" was made of mithril as the main material and cost more than three million taels of silver.

How much refined iron does such a large ship need to be wrapped in? Even if there is only a very small proportion of mithril inside, the amount of mithril consumed is far beyond that of a flying sword, and the cost of the entire ship is astronomical!

It is indeed worthy of the imperial court, it is such a generous act.

Everyone present was obviously very aware of the value of mithril, and everyone's face showed emotion.

Wu Changsheng continued: "Your Majesty and the Imperial Master are very cautious about the safety of everyone on your trip to the East China Sea. Your Majesty has specially provided this ocean-going clipper 'Destiny' for your use.

This ship is equipped with fast oars, which can sail quickly under any conditions; it is equipped with ten crossbows with a range of up to three thousand steps, and the crossbow arrows can shoot through any powerful monster in the sea; it also has sky-shaking artillery, all of which are used by the imperial court. The most powerful artillery available today. "

Hearing this, Taoist Zhenru looked at the "Destiny" and finally showed a satisfied smile on his face. He nodded and said: "The court is showing sincerity."

Lu Qian thought to himself: "Apart from the fact that this Destiny cannot fly, in all aspects, it should be stronger than his Ghost Sail."

As for whether its artillery is really as powerful as Wu Changsheng said, we can only wait until we see it with our own eyes before making comparisons.

Wu Changsheng finished talking about the performance of the "Destiny" in one breath, took a deep breath, and said to everyone: "Everyone, all the necessary items on the ship are ready. Do you have any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this.

This time going to sea, in terms of safety, Lu Qian has Ghost Sail and White Tiger, so he should be the least worried.

Therefore, Lu Qian also shook his head.

Taoist Zhenru stood tall and solemn, and said with emotion: "In order for the people of the world to be able to turn the crisis into safety and win a way for all people to live, we must fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

"nice!"

After hearing Taoist Zhenru's words, Wu Changsheng said excitedly: "Bring me some wine!"

The sergeant had already prepared drinks and immediately brought them after hearing this.

Wu Changsheng picked up a bowl of wine and said to everyone: "With this small amount of wine, I wish you all smooth sailing, successfully find a way to deal with the red moon, return safely, turn the tide, and save the people from despair——

Everyone, drink up this wine and do it! "

"Dry!"

Everyone raised their bowls and drank it all in one gulp.

Wu Changsheng drank up the wine in one gulp and said: "I will stand here, waiting for you all to return, and then I will take care of everyone!"

As Wu Changsheng's words fell to the ground, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded.

Listening to the sound of gongs, drums and suona, a heroic feeling arises spontaneously.

Even Lu Qian's heartbeat accelerated slightly at this time, and his mood was a little agitated.

"please--"

Wu Changsheng stepped out of the way and extended his hand to invite everyone to board the ship.

As the Taoist said without saying a word, he should step forward first and board the trestle.

There is a highland on the coast. The raised highland is like a long dragon, reaching the coast and forming a dangerous cliff.

On the edge of the dangerous cliff, a trestle was built.

The long trestle goes deep into the sea.

The waves surged and hit the pillars supporting the trestle, as if they were going to knock this old-looking trestle down at any time.

When we reached the end of the trestle, there was a long and narrow sampan, one end of which was placed on the trestle, and the other end of which was placed on a large ship in the sea.

Together with Lu Qian, a group of seven people boarded the "Destiny" on a sampan.

On the Destiny, the boatmen and sergeants were already in place. When they got on board, they removed the sampan, weighed the anchor, and hoisted the sail.

Three huge white sails were raised, and they suddenly became full of wind and swelled.

The big ship moved slowly and left the harbor.

In the distance, at the end of the trestle, Wu Changfeng and Pei Ruxing stood side by side, waving goodbye to everyone.

As the ship moved further and further away, after a while, the two people turned into two black dots in their eyes.

Eventually it disappeared.

……

Not long after the boat sailed, Lu Qian stood on the side of the boat, leaning on the railing and looking at it.

Under his feet, the waves surged and hit the side of the ship, looking very violent.

The huge sea wind pushed the sails, and the boat moved much faster than Lu Qian had imagined, not even much slower than the ghost sail.

Lu Qian and the other seven of them each have their own independent cabin. After boarding the ship, they dispersed and went about their own business.

Lu Qian was looking at the sea in trance when he suddenly heard a clear female voice coming from behind: "Is this your first time going to sea, Mr. Lu?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Qian looked back and saw Zhong Simei leaving the cabin and walking towards him.

Lu Qian nodded and said, "That's true."

The sea here is very different from what Lu Qian saw in his previous life. The sea is rough.

But the sea here is full of angry waves.

If it were an ordinary boat, it would probably be broken apart by the waves if it got here.

However, with the support of strong winds, the speed of the boat was far different from the "sailing boat" in Lu Qian's impression.

Zhong Simei said: "The deeper you go into the sea, the stronger the wind and waves will be, and the faster the boat will travel. If everything goes well, we can reach Wuxing Island in seven or eight days at most."

It would take seven or eight days to travel at this speed. The Five Elements Island was really far away from the mainland.

While he was talking, Zhong Simei had already walked up to Lu Qian and looked at him with her eyes.

The sea breeze blew her clothes and made a rustling sound.

Lu Qian felt a little uncomfortable when Zhong Simei looked at him like this, and said: "Miss Zhong looks at me like this, I will inevitably misunderstand."

Zhong Simei chuckled lightly and said, "Master, are you afraid of people looking at you?"

Lu Qian said: "It doesn't matter if you look at it, I'm just afraid that someone will notice you."

Zhong Simei looked at Lu Qian and took a second look. Then she turned her gaze, took two steps forward, held her hand on the railing, looked at the distant sea and said, "Does Young Master Lu know anything about the Liuyun Sword Immortal?"

Lu Qian said: "Not much, I only know that he is an Earth Immortal with excellent swordsmanship."

Zhong Simei turned her head sideways, glanced at the sword on Lu Qian's back, and said, "Master, is he a master of swordsmanship and martial arts?"

Lu Qian nodded. There was nothing to hide. He knew everything as soon as he made the move.

Zhong Simei said: "Then this time, Young Master may gain a lot. Liuyun Sword Technique has been lost for a long time. If we can see the body of Liuyun Sword Immortal this time, we may be able to obtain his sword technique." Inheritance. And among all of us, there is only one swordsman, the Young Master."

Lu Qian's eyes flashed, with a look of surprise on his face.

Zhong Simei said these words to him seemingly casually, but she definitely did not chat casually.

Lu Qian said: "I can understand... Is this what Miss Zhong is promising me? If there really is a legacy from Liuyun Sword Immortal, can it be mine?"

Zhong Simei smiled slightly and said, "Young master, are you thinking about that 'Nebula Sword'?"

Xingyun Sword, Liuyun Sword Immortal's flying sword.

If you can see the body of Liuyun Sword Immortal, then you will naturally see this flying sword.

Zhong Simei said: "In today's world, no one can create magic weapons for a long time. All the existing magic weapons are left over from history. Among all the remaining magic weapons, the flying sword type magic weapon is naturally the most respected. .”

After saying that, Zhong Simei suddenly turned around, faced Lu Qian again, and said: "If the master likes that sword, I can promise to give it to you. If there is a legacy of swordsmanship, then it will be shared by everyone. There is nothing to say. .”

Lu Qian looked at Zhong Simei in surprise. He did not expect that Zhong Simei would say such words to him just after they went to sea.

Looking into Zhong Simei's eyes, Lu Qian asked calmly: "Is this your promise or the court's promise?"

Zhong Simei said: "It belongs to me as well as to the imperial court."

Lu Qian said: "You have the final say?"

Zhong Simei shrugged and said: "At least overseas, I keep my word. As for returning to the mainland, you have to rely on your own ability."

Lu Qian nodded. Zhong Simei's words were quite sincere.

He asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Of course there is no free lunch in the world.

Lu Qian still understands this.

Zhong Simei said: "I don't need you to do anything, I just want you to know that as long as I live, I will help you get the Nebula Sword."

After saying that, Zhong Simei stretched out her hand to Lu Qian and said, "How about it, is this deal a good deal?"

Lu Qian smiled and said, "If this is considered a deal, then I - I don't agree."

After saying that, the smile on Lu Qian's face disappeared simultaneously, and his expression became cold.

Zhong Simei was stunned, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Zhong Simei's words are actually a blank check.

From the surface, what she wanted was to get closer to Lu Qian so that he could take care of her first in times of crisis.

At the same time, it was also driving a wedge between him and Qingxuan Guan.

During this trip, there were three people on the court side and three people on the Qingxuan Temple side. The two sides were clearly differentiated; only Lu Qian was the middle force.

He, the middle force, theoretically has nothing to do with either of them, but because Lu Qian had rescued Yang Hong, he was naturally closer to Qingxuan Guan emotionally.

In terms of the strength of both sides, Qingxuan Guan is the one that holds the upper hand against them.

Although Lu Qian's cultivation level is not high, he is not weak either. Especially his magic skills are said to be very strong. If he is pulled over, then the court and Qingxuan Guan will be in a four-on-three situation, and the power will be more balanced.

Zhong Simei looked at Lu Qian blankly for a while, as if because she thought she had no harmful suggestions for Lu Qian, she was actually rejected by him, which was a bit incredible.

After watching for a while, Zhong Simei raised a sneer on her lips and said, "Do you think Qingxuan Temple will give up the Xingyun Sword to you?"

Lu Qian shook his head and said, "Miss Zhong, I really want this Nebula Sword, but you must not forget the purpose of our trip."

After a pause, Lu Qian continued: "There are already many conflicts between you and Qingxuan Guan. At this time, if everyone still has their own selfish intentions and cannot cooperate together, then our actions this time will not be able to achieve anything. Now, whether he can come back alive is a question.

I hope Miss Zhong can think deeply about my words. "

After saying that, Lu Qian turned around and walked towards the cabin without giving Zhong Simei a chance to speak.

Looking at Lu Qian's leaving figure until he disappeared into the cabin, the coldness on Zhong Simei's face suddenly disappeared.

A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "This kid has some brains. If he's not a fool, then we can cooperate."

In a dangerous situation, if there is a fool in the team, it is difficult to predict how destructive he will be.

After all, it's hard for you to step into his mind and imagine what stupid things he would do.

Zhong Simei does not allow such idiots to exist in the team.

Today's conversation, on the surface, seems to be Zhong Simei setting a trap for Lu Qian, but in fact, this is an "interview."

After all, she was completely unfamiliar with Lu Qian and had no understanding of him.

We are about to work together, so it is important to have the necessary understanding.

……

In a certain cabin.

Taoist Zhenhai took off a horn-shaped thing from his ear, smiled and said to Taoist Zhenru and Liu Yuyan who were sitting across from him: "This kid Lu Qian is quite clever."

Taoist Zhenru was closing his eyes to rest. When he heard what his junior brother said, he lazily said: "Do you even need to eavesdrop? I already knew it just by looking at your face. Only a stupid girl would go for an interview."

Taoist Zhenhai smiled and said: "Some people look smart on the surface, but are actually stupid. After all, everyone doesn't understand them. It is still necessary for Zhong Simei to do this."

Taoist Zhenru opened one eye, glanced at Taoist Zhenhai with great disdain, and said: "He is a casual cultivator with no background. If he is a fool, how can he survive till now? Do you even need to think about such a simple truth?"

"Uh……"

Zhenru Taoist's words immediately choked Zhenhai up.

　Thanks to Mamays for the reward of 7,000 points! !
