Eight Desolate Holy Paths

Chapter 8
Ji and Tian didn't know about the conspiracy in the Netherland, so they were tired of traveling, so they found an inn to settle down.

"Little Er! Get two cents of wine first, and then cut five catties of cooked beef!" Fatty Qian slapped the table and said to the second brother beside him.

"You two young masters, can you eat?" The second brother looked at the two with strange eyes.

"Don't listen to him, just pick a few of your favorite dishes." Ji Tian stopped Fatty Qian and said.

When Xiao Er left, Ji Tian said helplessly, "Where did you learn this from?"

"That's what I read in the book, look at those heroes, they all say that, how imposing."

Ji Tian shook his head, this ancient inn is also unique, Ji Tian looked at it with great interest.

"The Taikang Dynasty was peaceful under the rule. I heard that the Emperor Taikang was a hundred years old and still in good health. He was probably practicing. After all, the cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness was at its peak. This emperor is blessed, and his status is already extremely high in the world. It is expensive, and it can also practice and prolong life."

Ji Tian thought silently, and sighed a little, after all, in the previous life, many emperors broke up their families and died for the sake of longevity.

After the two finished eating, they put down the package in the room, and Ji Tian told Fatty Qian that he was going to buy some weapons for self-defense.After ordering Fatty Qian to take care of the package, Ji Tian went to the street alone.

When leaving Danxia Mountain, Ji Tian went to get a bag of gold and silver, but there is no shortage of gold and silver among cultivators, and there are even those people with great magic power who are good at turning stones into gold, leaving many legends in the world.

In the past, Ji Tian was also curious about how to turn a stone into gold, but later learned that this was just the primary application of earth into steel.

After finding a dignified weapons shop, Ji Tian walked around in it.

The storekeeper saw that Ji Tian was wearing a white Taoist robe, the material was very expensive, and thought: This is what I got, this little Taoist boy has beautiful features and a handsome face, he must be a prostitute hired by that rich family, he must not be let go.

At that moment, he said with a smile on his face, "My little Daoist, what kind of weapons do you want? All my weapons have been transported thousands of miles from Shenjing, and many weapons have been opened by the Daoist of Juanyun Temple in Shenjing."

Ji Tian thought to himself: This fellow is deceiving me when I was young.

He didn't take it seriously, and said immediately: "Pick up the sharp ones, and take a look at the ones with good edges."

The store took a lot of swords and showed them to Ji Tian, ​​and the quality was not bad.It just didn't suit Ji Tian's wishes.

Seeing that Ji Tian frowned slightly, the storekeeper said, "Young Daoist doesn't like it. I still have good Taoist artifacts here, all of which are first-class treasures."

After speaking, he went to fetch a few sharp swords from behind, and Ji Tian pulled them out to look at them. He saw some runes branded on the blades of the swords. When he looked closely, he was enveloped by a faint spiritual light.

Ji Tianxin said: "I didn't expect that there were such weapons in this shop. Didn't they really open it?"It looks like a symbol.

Without further ado, I happily bought two sharp swords.

Seeing that Ji Tian was so happy, the shopkeeper smiled and thought: I have met a big guy, I will try him again.

"Master Xiaodao likes Taoist utensils so much. I have a treasure that has been treasured for decades. Would Master Xiaodao be interested?"

When Ji Tian saw the shopkeeper saying this, he became very interested. Following the shopkeeper to the back warehouse, he saw the shopkeeper solemnly taking out a sword from a treasure chest.

This sharp sword is extremely simple, and the blade is criss-crossed and rusty. Ji Tian frowned, thinking: This fellow is cheating me.

The shopkeeper said: "Master Xiao Dao, don't think this sword looks bad, but it's really sharp. It's easy to cut gold and jade, just take a look."

After finishing speaking, he chopped a watermelon sledgehammer in half without making any sound.

Ji Tian was startled, and the little gourd on his body suddenly moved slightly, which surprised Ji Tian a little.He kept his composure, bought it, and immediately slipped it out of his pocket, leaving no gold or silver on him.

When Ji Tian came out of the shop, the shopkeeper thought, "But I sold this ghost sword. Since I got this sword, three guys have died in a row.At first glance, this little Taoist master is a person with profound Taoism, and it should be easy to subdue demons and subdue demons.

Not mentioning the random thoughts of the shopkeeper, Ji Tian returned to the inn and gave a sharp sword to Fatty Qian. When he mentioned the matter of buying the sword, Fatty Qian called Ji Tian a fool.

Ji Tian didn't care about Fatty Qian, he went back to the room and took out the ancient sword to watch.

"Hey, this sword is also weird."

The criss-crossing around the ancient sword turned out not to be any rust. Ji Tian took a closer look and found that these rusts looked like bloodstains. He reached out and touched them. These bloodstains seemed to grow on the body of the sword, and it was integrated with the body of the sword. There is a strange rune, the rune is written in an ancient way, and it is very different from the current rune. The more you stare at the rune, the more ever-changing the rune is, as if infinite mysteries are contained in it.

Ji Tianxin said: This rune alone is worth buying, but you don't have to worry about it, but for some reason it caused the gourd on your body to move.

The gourd has been very quiet on Ji Tian's body, but he didn't expect to tremble slightly when he encountered this sword today.

Holding the sword in his hand, Ji Tian felt a little itchy. He had been practicing boxing and kicking kung fu these days, but he had never practiced this sword technique.It's just that there are too many people in the inn, and it's inconvenient to practice, so I have to give up.

After dinner, Fatty Qian came to Ji Tian's room and said: "Xiao Ji, today is the Ghost Festival, people are offering sacrifices to the City God outside, it's very lively, let's go out and have a look."

Ji Tiancai remembered that today is the ghost festival of Zhongyuan, and Zhongyuan will sacrifice to the local officials, that is, the city gods. It is said that the gate of ghosts is open today, and newly mourned people, for example, have to go to new graves. wild ghost.

The city god is in charge of the Mingji, and enjoys offerings as usual.Ji Tian was also very curious, followed Fatty Qian out of the inn, and saw that every household on the street was burning paper money at the door, and many people carried paper money and incense candles to the north of the city.

Looking up and seeing the bright round moon shining brightly, Ji Tiancai remembered that the gourd on his body would spit streams of light every night of the full moon, and he felt a little bit looking forward to tonight.

When I came to the Town God's Temple, it was already full of people. A 40-year-old Miao Zhu was presiding over the sacrificial ceremony, and the surrounding people all bowed down and muttered to themselves.However, in Ji Tian's eyes, what he saw was different. Streaks of white light floated above the heads of these common people, and they all flew into the statue of the City God.

This is the power of incense, and for the gods, the power of incense is the aura of heaven and earth of people in the immortal way.If you don't get incense for a long time, this god will gradually fall.

The two watched for a while, and Ji Tian suddenly felt that someone was secretly spying on him. This was Ji Tian's intuition as a martial artist, and he never made mistakes. Ji Tian's heart was raised secretly.

I ate a lot of snacks around the Town God's Temple, but it has a unique flavor.Ji Tianji was concerned with the matter of the gourd, and kept urging Fatty Qian to go back. The two of them were about to return to the inn, when a voice sounded behind them.

"You two stay!"

When Ji Tian looked back, he saw a Taoist priest with white beard and hair. This Taoist priest was very old, but he had an immortal demeanor and sharp eyes.Holding a cloth banner in his hand, and writing four characters straight out of the iron mouth, he looks like a fortune teller.

"Why, do you want to tell our fortune?" Fatty Qian asked.

"This is not the case. The two of you know that you have already been targeted by the City God."

Ji Tian's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the feeling of being spied upon in the Town God's Temple.

"Who are you?"

"Gu Buyan, old man, as far as I know, the local city god is not a good idea. Seeing that the two are full of immortality and pure yang energy, this city god will probably send someone to arrest them."

"Cut, nonsense!" Fatty Qian scolded.

Suddenly, the old man's eyes flashed brightly, and there was a huge coercion from his whole body, which made Ji Tian a little out of breath.

Ji Tian was startled, the coercion of this veteran was no less than the coercion of Mei Changqing that day, and his cultivation base was terrifying.

"These two talismans are on your body, and you must not take them off." Two square paper talismans appeared in the old Taoist hand.

"This is a talisman!" Fatty Qian screamed and snatched it away. Ji Tian was also very surprised, not expecting this old man to be so generous.

When I looked up, the old man had disappeared without a trace.

"This is an expert!" Fatty Qian beamed with joy.

Ji Tian was a little vigilant, he didn't know what the hell this old man was playing.
