Assassin 3 Wind and Live

"So, those legendary strange arts haven't been lost?"

Feng Hui sighed, shook his head, and said, "Almost all of them have been lost."

It turned out that the handwriting left by their ancestors recorded that all their disasters were due to the crime of being pregnant, and the tribe was strictly prohibited from practicing magic for more than a hundred years.The spells that need to be taught by word of mouth are all lost after the ancestors of that generation passed away, and those are the most delicate parts of alchemy.Many years later, the tribe began to worry that the techniques left by their ancestors would be completely lost.Therefore, each generation will select a few children with excellent aptitude to practice alchemy.Alchemy is different from other studies. Not many people can learn it just by reading the fragments preserved during the war. In order to avoid further disasters, the clan has set rules, except for divination and sacrifices to seek good fortune and avoid evil. All other techniques can only be practiced, not used.As a result, it is conceivable how many people are willing to work hard to study these things that may not be used in a lifetime.So the alchemy was gradually lost, and after hundreds of years, it became what it is now.

"That's a pity..." Although Murong Li felt a little regretful, he was also a little fortunate. Now that he is the lord of the great kingdom of Zhongyuan, if the legendary tribe of alchemists and those appalling spells are still there, he really doesn't know himself. what to do.Suddenly remembered something again, and asked Feng Hui: "I don't know why sir is so eager to come here? Do you have to meet this king now?"

"There are two reasons. The first is that someone is looking for the place where the corpse was hidden back then, and they don't know what they intend to do. The second is... the Xingming has changed hands."

"Xing Ming changed hands? But what's wrong?"

"Xingming is not one of the eight swords' deadly artifacts, but is specially cast to destroy them. Although it and the eight swords are born from the same source, they are mutually restraining. If they are owned by the same person, it may attract Disaster. Besides, the star inscription is spiritual. It fell into the hands of the Tianquan royal family a long time ago. It has been passed down from generation to generation as a keepsake of the king. ..."

"What will happen to it?" Murong Li asked.

"May I ask the lord... how did he get the star inscription from the king of Tianquan?"

"Tianquan and Yaoguang fought a month ago, and this king won it when he fought against that Zhiming king." Murong Li thought for a while but did not tell the truth.

"Xingming and the blood of the Tianquan royal family have been related for hundreds of years, and if they are forcibly taken away by the lord, they may be in danger of devouring the lord."

"Then... what if King Tianquan handed it over to me voluntarily?"

"If that's the case, as long as the lord doesn't use it to attack the royal family of heaven, the danger of devouring the lord can be solved. It is not easy for it to recognize a new lord, but if the lord only treats it as an ordinary weapon, whoever it recognizes as the master It's nothing important." Feng Hui replied, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, he never thought that the sword was really offered by King Quan Tian with both hands.

"Sir just said that someone is going to perform the forbidden technique again, do you know who it is?"

"Should be descendants of other surviving alchemist tribes."

"How did you know, sir?"

"One day a few years ago, Boling suddenly felt something, and the body of the piano shook violently, and I also felt chest cramps inexplicably. At that time, I also ordered people to investigate secretly, but nothing was found, so that's all. But about one month A few days ago, there was another change in Bo Ling, and the divination revealed that someone was using a magic weapon to track down the place where the corpse was hidden back then."

Murong Li felt that this scene seemed familiar, and asked: "A few years ago... do you remember what day it was?"

"Around around the time when Tianji died."

Murong Li immediately recalled that on the day when Xunsu captured the city of Juying, Tianji was subjugated and Qi Zhikan slayed himself with a horizontal sword, the Yan branch in his hand trembled, and his heart and stomach were in unbearable pain.

"Sir, I'm afraid you misunderstood. The king of Japan also felt the same way, but it wasn't that someone was performing a spell, but someone committed suicide. At that time, the king was on the spot and watched the man commit suicide with his own eyes. All the swords held by people emit strange light, and then they feel a sharp pain in their heart and mouth."

Feng Hui felt that this was too coincidental, and couldn't help but ask, "Oh? May I ask who is the person who committed suicide?"

"The late general of Tianji Kingdom, Qi Zhikan."

"Does the lord know what sword he is holding? Can he know his life?"

"The sword he holds is called Qiansheng. All his life... I only know that before he was appointed as a general, he was the personal servant of King Tianji, and before that, he was a swordsmith and lived in seclusion in the mountains." The story of the star was widely circulated among the people, but later it was plotted against by someone with a heart, and this story became a joke. King Tianji picked up an evil star and returned, and he perished his own country.

"Swordsmith? I see."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Among the eight swords, Qiansheng and Yueyue have been destroyed..."

"Wait, it is said that Qi Zhikan personally forged Qiansheng. How could it be one of the eight legendary swords?" , is the superb sword-casting technique. It is said that Qiansheng cuts iron like mud.It is impossible to test when the legend of Liuren began, but Qi Zhikan's saber was indeed forged by himself, so how could it be related to the legend hundreds of years ago.

"Qiansheng is originally one of the eight swords. It is only recorded in the handbook left by the ancestors. This sword has been damaged. It must have been recast and repaired by General Qi. It is just a sword cast by swordsmithing techniques hundreds of years ago. It is not an ordinary sword. The sword master can repair it, but I wonder if this sword is in the hands of the king?"

"Why do you ask such a question, sir?"

Feng Hui explained: "These artifacts can be considered as blood relatives, with similar auras. As a descendant of Dong Ming, although Feng is not very good at learning arts, but now that he is so close, he can also recognize the aura of these artifacts. According to Feng Look, Lord Murong probably has more than just a magic weapon Yanzhi in his hands, and... Xingming is also nearby, am I right?"

"Fang Ye, go and fetch Qiansheng." Murong Li ordered.

A moment later, Fang Ye presented Qian Sheng, and Murong Li took it and handed it to Feng Hui.

Feng Hui drew out his sword, only to feel the cold light reflected by the blade almost hurt his eyes.The fingertips struck the inch-inch blade, making a series of "clank" sounds.Murong Li didn't know much about swords, so he couldn't hear anything special about it.Feng Hui's eyes were wet, and he sighed: "I didn't expect someone to pass it down."

"what?"

"This sword has been repaired very well. Now there are almost no traces of damage. Although it is inferior to the ancient method, but... this person is very likely to be a descendant of the refining line." Feng Hui was a little incoherent excitedly. , then thought that General Qi had committed suicide, and hurriedly asked: "Does the Lord know that General Qi has any relatives?"

Murong Li shook his head and said: "No, it is said that his father passed away when he was young. Before he met King Tianji, he lived alone in the mountains and made a living by forging swords."

"Then... isn't that lost again?" Feng Hui was immediately disappointed, and asked with the last glimmer of hope: "I wonder if he left any books or letters?"

"After Tianji's subjugation, Xun Su took over Wangcheng. Presumably the general's mansion has been searched by the rebel army. If there is anything left, it should not be in the same place. Besides, the rebel army will probably burn the worthless things. It's gone." Unless the scrolls and the like can be seen at a glance as treasures of famous masters, they are likely to be doomed.

"Xu Su?" Feng Hui seemed thoughtful.

"Speaking of which, General Na Qi's body was stolen not long ago."

"K?"

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of deep hatred is there, and even the corpse is not spared. At the same time, the corpse of General Tianxuan Qiu Zhenqiu was also stolen." Murong Li took a sip of tea, but his peripheral vision still fell on Feng Xi. At this moment, he has concluded that Gongsun Qian's body was destroyed, and the bodies of Qi Zhikan and Qiu Zhen were stolen, which must be inseparable from the descendants of the surviving alchemist.

"The lord just said that General Qi killed himself with a thousand victories, what about General Qiu?"

"General Qiu also committed suicide..." Murong Li was thinking, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, both Qi Zhikan and Qiu Zhen committed suicide with magic weapons!Thinking about the legend that Feng Hui mentioned earlier, he immediately felt horrified.

"Both of these two committed suicide with magical weapons. I'm afraid they have become walking corpses. If no one drives them, they will be no different from other corpses. But if you hold magical weapons, you can manipulate these two people. These two generals were He is a figure like a god of war, and now his body has become indestructible due to the magic power, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to fight against a hundred."

"Sir, do you know who this person is?"

"Well, that person came to me more than a month after Bo Ling felt it. He claimed to be a descendant of the Dongming tribe. He got the moon by chance. It was also because he had a feeling that day that he thought someone was performing a forbidden technique. I found it by relying on the guidance of magic tools. The words seemed to be inquiring about the books that recorded alchemy, and also hinted that he wanted to find the place where the corpses were hidden back then, and save the souls of the ancestors. He looks very kind, but I always I felt that the breath on his body was not right, there was something weird about it, and I couldn't tell the reason, so I didn't tell me at the time. Later, I was attacked on the way to Xunsu. Those assassins didn't seem to intend to hurt people at first, but just wanted to He snatched the magic weapon and the scroll in my hand, and saw that I was desperately protecting each other, so I was moved to kill, I suspect that person has something to do with the assassin."

"Why did you go to Xunsu that day? Why did you bring those scrolls with you when you went to Xunsu? And Yanzhi?" The county guard was not allowed to leave the jurisdiction, not to mention that Xunsu and Zhongyuan were at war at that time.

"My lord, I brought a person with me when I came to Wangcheng this time. There are some things that need to be explained by that person."

"Who is it?"

"At this moment, he is waiting outside the palace, can the king please call him into the palace?"

"can."

"Master, that person has a special status, please don't let others know."
