The Lu family's location is somewhat remote. It is located in a corner of the outer city. The mansion is not big, but it takes great care. Every brick and stone on the outer wall has been carefully carved.
The landscaping in the courtyard is simple and elegant, and the stone slabs under the feet also have complex patterns. Judging from their luster, they must be old.
Although the Lu family does not seem to be as good as those aristocratic weapon-refining families in the inner city, the Lu family did have two great weapon-refining masters in their ancestors.
The weapon refining workshop was filled with smoke, and Lin Chuan stayed inside for a moment before escaping.
The smoke I inhaled in my lungs last night in Zuiyue Tower has not yet been exhausted, and now I can no longer bear it.
"Kick, cluck~" Yu Xiaoyao pointed at Lin Chuan, who was looking gray and shameless, and smiled like a little hen.
Murong Longyue also wanted to laugh loudly, but Yu Xiaoyao beat her to it. She was not willing to imitate a half-grown girl.
Yu Xiaoyao's stature is indeed petite. Even though she is wearing a huge bun, she can only reach Murong Longyue's shoulders.
Murong Longyue smiled very restrainedly, not even showing half of her teeth.
"What's wrong? I'm smiling. Are there flowers on my face?" Lin Chuan said and wiped a handful on his dark face.
"Pfft"
Murong Longyue couldn't bear it anymore and laughed loudly.
Lin Chuan's face was slightly red, and there were no flowers just now. Now he got one for himself and turned around to go to the kitchen.
After taking just two steps, Lin Chuan stopped, listened attentively, then shook his head and left quickly.
Apart from those two silly girls, he just heard another voice, a very soft voice, like the echo of those two people.
Last night at Zuiyue Tower, he also heard unnecessary coughing sounds. The sound was very close to him, but he didn't see anyone. It was just that there were too many people around who were choked by fireworks, and the coughs kept coming and going, so he didn't pay attention.
Could it be that there is some illusion in that hundred cloth screens that can cause some kind of auditory hallucinations in oneself, and one does not know when it will recover.
Lin Chuan washed his face, looked at the reflection in the water, there was still ashes on his face, and recalled what he had experienced last night.
After the Baibu screen was shattered, two powerful men approached in an instant. Even though the fire was soaring into the sky, Lin Chuan could still see clearly.
One was Xu Yunting, a great craftsman whom he had met, and the other had gray hair and a stooped back. Lin Chuan guessed that this person should be the old housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion.
After these two people appeared, Winter Sushuang Hall quickly evacuated Zuiyue Tower, and the surrounding people began to put out the fire.
Lin Chuan took advantage of the chaos and left. He wanted to say hello to Wu Tai, but to his surprise, Wu Tai disappeared with him.
There were many crises in the city. Lin Chuan wanted to escape from the city in one go, but was stopped by Yu Xiaoyao.
Yu Xiaoyao looked old-fashioned and said that what he said was false was true, and what was true was false. The more dangerous the place, the safer it would be.
Before Lin Chuan could refute, he saw Deputy Marshal Tie leading a large number of troops to guard the city gates in all directions, and more than a dozen generals patrolling the city, searching for the arsonist assassins.
As a result, Yu Xiaoyao proudly brought Lin Chuan and Murong Longyue to the Lu Mansion.
The head of the Lu family is named Lu Dabao. He is the only spiritual master of the Lu family. He has just entered the earth spirit realm at the age of sixty.
After chatting, Lin Chuan learned that this person was actually Lu Liubao's eldest brother. Lu Dabao was initially a little wary of Lin Chuan, but when he heard that his little Liuzi and he were life-and-death friends, he immediately felt more cordial.
The two chatted happily, and seeing that Lin Chuan was very interested in weapon refining, they simply invited him to the weapon refining workshop and showed him how to make it in person.
It turns out that the weapon refining master Yu Xiaoyao found was Lu Dabao. The Qianji Lu family and the Gu Yu family were family friends, and their ancestors were also close friends of life and death. The ancestor of the Lu family taught the ancestor of the Yu family the art of weapon refining.
The ancestor of the family taught him the method of controlling poison.
The two geniuses created a new secret technique, which is the art of puppetry.
The way of puppet Gu cannot be done by a spiritual master, it requires extremely strong mental power. After birth, the soul-controlling ink Gu is planted into the head. The soul-controlling ink Gu coexists with the host. After recognizing the master, the soul-controlling ink Gu can be controlled and refined with ink crystals.
Made puppet.
The so-called black crystal is the companion stone of the soul-controlling ink Gu. It contains extremely powerful energy that only the soul-controlling ink Gu can use.
Black crystals are quite rare, and babies that can be fused with the soul-controlling black poison are also difficult to find. If the fusion is not possible, the poison will eat their brains and die.
Therefore, the next best thing was to derive many puppet techniques, most of which were puppets made by the spiritual master pulling various silk threads and using spiritual energy to activate energy ores.
Perhaps by chance, Lu Liubao sneaked into the ancestral temple when he was young and accidentally swallowed the top-quality black crystal given to the Lu family by the founder of the Yu family. Little did he know that there was an insect egg in the black crystal, and he accidentally killed it and became a worm.
Became a puppet master.
The Lu family took great pains to send Lu Liubao to the Dongxuan Academy to study. Lu Dabao was afraid that he would have no hope of advancing to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, so the only hope of the Lu family's rise rested on Lu Liubao.
It wasn't until a basin of clear water became filthy that Lin Chuan regained his purity. As soon as he stepped into the backyard, a fishy wind hit his face, and Lin Chuan's stomach was churning. Fortunately, he didn't eat anything last night, otherwise he would have to vomit it out.
.
The two girls had long since disappeared. Lin Chuan looked in the direction of the weapon refining workshop. The smoke dissipated, and there was a faint red glow inside.
Lin Chuan ran over in three steps and two steps at a time. He heard his voice before he saw him, and Lu Dabao's crazy laughter could be heard from inside the workshop.
Lin Chuan frowned, opened the door and squeezed in. He was frightened by Lu Dabao, who was covered in blood.
The pot-bellied Lu Dabao shook the long knife in his hand, as happy as a baby.
But in Lin Chuan's view, it looked a bit ferocious. The dark red long knife was very familiar to Lin Chuan, but there were some green veins on the blade, like veins.
The blood color on the blade was much more restrained than usual, but the light emitted increased dramatically.
"This is... the best spiritual weapon!?" Lin Chuan's breathing was a little rapid, and the light of the blood knife was breathtaking and alluring, far beyond the original.
Hearing Lin Chuan's voice, Lu Dabao just calmed down and scratched his head in embarrassment, doing exactly the same thing as Lu Liubao.
"The quality has indeed reached the top level, but the original equipment of this sword is mediocre. Even with the blessing of so many blood spirits, it still failed to produce the vision of a top-grade spiritual weapon. It must be the best among high-grade spiritual weapons!"
"Of course it's my fault. If I had the cultivation of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and could control the fire more stably, I might not have the possibility of making the best spiritual weapon..." Lu Dabao's dark and shiny old face was a little rosy.
"Brother Dabao, don't blame yourself. Being able to refine the blood sword into a high-grade spiritual weapon has far exceeded my expectations." Lin Chuan took the blood sword from Lu Dabao's hand and examined the four-foot-long sword repeatedly. Suddenly he remembered that he missed something.
.
"Brother Dabao, what's the reason for the blood stains on your body?"
After Lu Liubao heard this, he suddenly became excited again and kicked the furry ball at his feet.
"It's its blood."
Lin Chuan took a closer look and saw that it was a hare. The hare's head was a little shriveled and there was an extra hole in its abdomen, which must have been caused by a blood knife.
"Why is this?" Lin Chuan frowned and wondered. Could it be that the newly released spiritual weapon requires a blood sacrifice? It's impossible, impossible. Who would use a rabbit for a blood sacrifice.
“You’ll know after you try it!”
Lu Dabao took out a hare from his sleeve like a magic trick. The hare that was docile and well-behaved a second ago was struggling violently now, as if he had a premonition that the end was coming.
Suddenly a question came to mind: Why kill the hare if it is so cute...
Looking at Lu Dabao's shining eyes again, Lin Chuan couldn't help but shudder.
"Brother Dabao, let's forget it. Just talk to me. After all, everything has animism. It's okay if you kill him to satisfy your hunger. But if it's just to test the sword, I really can't do it." Lin Chuan begged for mercy.
"I can't tell you are quite caring! If I hadn't heard from Xiaoyao that you killed everyone last night, I would have believed you!" Lu Dabao sneered.
Lin Chuan's eyes wandered, and he looked around and said, "One code is the same. Brother Dabao, please tell me, what's the mystery behind it?"
Lu Dabao bent down and put the hare on the ground. The hare did not jump away immediately, but tilted its head and stared blankly at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan raised his toes and gently touched his buttocks, and the hare suddenly disappeared.
"I tried the original knife before, but it could only absorb the opponent's blood. But now this knife can convert the absorbed blood into blood and transport it to the body of the sword owner. The blood stains on my body are the result of that blood. Just because I
There is no blood contract with it, so that’s why it’s like this.”
