#253 - Repair gold twist scissors
Watching Xie Lingyun's departing figure, Zhang Chen looked again at the rolling thunder and lightning in the clouds.
“Only repairing the divine soul and not the magic power, this kind of flaw is really too big.” Zhang Chen secretly shook his head. After putting on his bamboo hat and raincoat, he silently walked out of the inn into the rain.
Now that the thunder is rolling, it is a great opportunity for him to leave in the chaos.
The night was silent, and the streets were empty. Even if the people cheered because of the rain, no one dared to come to the streets to be presumptuous, after all, the curfew in this era was no joke.
Zhang Chen didn't want to cause trouble, so he walked on the street with an invisibility talisman. When he walked halfway through the city, the rain in the sky suddenly stopped, and even the dark clouds in the sky were dissipating at an extremely fast speed.
Zhang Chen tore off his bamboo hat and threw it on the street. He didn't know which passerby would benefit from it tomorrow. He raised his head to look at the dark clouds that were dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, if someone can master the power to summon wind and rain, wouldn't they be able to restrain all the Yin God cultivators in the world?"
To be precise, everything below the Yang God can be restrained.
Zhang Chen sneaked all the way back to the cave and hid. Then he picked up the jade box, looked at the two brushes, and showed a pensive look.
“Can these two brushes be refined by my Five-Colored Divine Light, so that my Five-Colored Divine Light can derive more powerful power?” A thought flashed in Zhang Chen's mind.
He began to have designs on these two brushes, but these two brushes were not simple, and refining them was not an easy task.
As it stands now, he only has the Forbidden Qi Technique that can draw out the Yin and Yang energies from them, but the Yin and Yang energies he draws out are only a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Yin and Yang system within the brushes.
Zhang Chen didn't dare to open the box to extract the Yin and Yang energies, lest the brushes take the opportunity to escape, so he could only stare at the two brushes in the box with envy from outside the box.
After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, Zhang Chen had no choice but to put away the jade box and wait for a chance to refine the two brushes in the future. As for returning them to Chen Xu?
What a joke, the treasures that have already reached his hands, how can there be any reason to return them?
But just as Zhang Chen was putting the box into his sleeve, suddenly a whistling sound came from the Pill Furnace. At this time, the Golden Scissors transformed into two illusory and transparent divine dragons, one black and one white, constantly churning and stirring in the Pill Furnace, causing the entire Eight Trigrams Furnace to vibrate.
“What the hell is going on?” Zhang Chen frowned when he sensed the change in the Golden Scissors in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. He saw the Golden Scissors constantly wandering in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, stirring up the sea of fire and causing it to roll and boil continuously.
At this time, a will emerged in Zhang Chen's heart, and a vague and inexplicable desire came from somewhere, constantly asking Zhang Chen for something. The will was muddled and hazy. Because the will was too weak, it could not clearly convey its thoughts.
But Zhang Chen was not a stupid person. Looking at the two black and white true dragons that were constantly making trouble, Zhang Chen remembered the origin of these Golden Scissors. These Golden Scissors were treasures transformed from the innate Yin-Yang embryo, and the two brushes in his hand seemed to be composed of the essence of innate Yin-Yang, right?
“Could it be that the Golden Scissors want to devour the two brushes to repair their injuries?” Zhang Chen had a conjecture in his mind at this time, and then took the jade box out of his sleeve again. Sure enough, as Zhang Chen took the jade box out again, the two true dragons transformed from the Golden Scissors in the Pill Furnace kept shaking, and the urgent desire became more and more urgent.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen hesitated slightly, and the next moment he directly threw the jade box into the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Then he saw the two black and white true dragons rise into the air and directly coil around the jade box. As the two true dragons intertwined and rubbed, the six-character mantra on the jade box was directly wiped out by the Golden Scissors. Then he saw the two brushes take advantage of the situation to drill out of the jade box and were about to escape into the void. But who knew that the two illusory true dragons transformed from the Golden Scissors suddenly opened their mouths. The two brushes seemed to foresee something bad, and quickly dodged left and right, but who knew that there seemed to be an inexplicable suction force in the mouths of the true dragons. The suction force suppressed the void, preventing the two brushes from escaping into the void.
Seeing that they were restricted, the two brushes directly transformed into two streams of black and white air intertwined together, and were about to take the opportunity to escape, but who knew that the two true dragons sneezed, directly spraying the stream of air, spraying it back to the state of brushes from the state of Yin and Yang energy. Then, before the two brushes could react, the true dragons directly stretched out their necks and opened their bloody mouths like bottomless abysses, directly swallowing the brushes separately.
The black true dragon swallowed the black brush, and the white true dragon swallowed the white brush.
As the two brushes were swallowed into their bellies, the two illusory true dragons, one black and one white, actually began to shrink continuously, transforming into a length of about a meter, but they were lifelike and extremely solid, as if they were two real true dragons.
Looking closely at the two true dragons that were about a meter long, their bodies were covered with mottled cracks, which looked very terrifying, as if they could shatter into countless pieces of debris at any time.
“The Golden Scissors have been repaired to a certain extent. Next, as long as I constantly search for various divine objects in the world to nurture and repair the wounds on the Golden Scissors, the Golden Scissors will be able to reproduce their past divine power. Now that they have swallowed the brushes, it is hard to say to what extent the Golden Scissors have been repaired, after all, it takes a certain amount of time to digest the two brushes.” Zhang Chen knew clearly in his heart that the Golden Scissors must be alive, at least not in the state of dying at any time as in the past.
At this moment, the two true dragons, one black and one white, intertwined and rolled up, passed through the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and transformed into a pair of gray and inconspicuous scissors, falling into Zhang Chen's palm.
Not black scissors, nor white scissors, but gray scissors.
The scissors were very small and delicate, just like a smaller version of ordinary household scissors. The entire scissors were gray, covered with dense cracks, which seemed to be able to break at any time, making people tremble with fear.
But as the owner of the scissors, Zhang Chen could feel that there was a continuous force inside the scissors, repairing the wounds.
It's just that the repair speed is very slow and requires an extremely long time.
Zhang Chen stroked the gray scissors: "I don't know how much power the Golden Scissors can exert now?"
Zhang Chen looked around, but did not notice an object that could be tested.
Just as Zhang Chen was pondering with the Golden Scissors in his hand, suddenly the Golden Scissors in his hand trembled slightly. In the gray Golden Scissors, there seemed to be a gray world. In that world, there were two brush-shaped objects flickering, seemingly constantly resisting the refining of the Golden Scissors.
However, this world was different from the black and white world of Zhang Chen's Soul-Stealing and Soul-Snatching. The black and white world in front of him was full of flowing innate Yin and Yang energy.
As the owner of the Golden Scissors, Zhang Chen felt that he seemed to be united with the will of the Golden Scissors in the dark. In an instant, the world in front of him changed, and he had already entered the black and white world.
Zhang Chen's will manifested, standing in the world, holding a gray pair of scissors. In that black and white world, two brushes transformed into two black and white fish, constantly crisscrossing and colliding, seemingly wanting to escape this black and white space at any moment.
In the distant spacetime, two invisible threads seemed to descend from the void, hooking onto the two fish, becoming the anchors that fixed their coordinates, causing them to constantly collide within the black and white world, all in an attempt to escape along the pull of those threads.
Looking at those threads, Zhang Chen suddenly understood, "That is the karma from Chen Xu."
At this moment, the threads were taut, constantly pulling the two fish. Zhang Chen picked up the scissors in his hand and subconsciously snipped at the threads in the void. Then, he saw the karmic threads directly snap, the two fish losing their anchors, wandering helplessly in the void, completely losing their ability to resist.
In the next moment, Zhang Chen's consciousness returned to his physical body. He lowered his head, looking at the gray scissors, a look of disbelief in his eyes, "These Golden Inlaid Scissors are too heaven-defying, aren't they? They can even sever karma?"
Zhang Chen was secretly shocked by the power of the Golden Inlaid Scissors. In the next moment, the Golden Inlaid Scissors transformed into a black and white stream of light, pouring into his mouth, and then returning to the azure lotus flower of the magical treasure along the acupoints of his body.
For some reason, with the Golden Inlaid Scissors guarding him, Zhang Chen suddenly felt a sense of security.
"Next, all I need to do is wait for the Golden Inlaid Scissors to slowly obliterate those two brushes." A hint of joy appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.
Of course, the happiest thing for him was that he had resolved the matter of the Emperor's Daughter, and he felt very happy. This time, that girl had no reason to come looking for him again.
Zhang Chen began to shirk responsibility:
"Although the exposure of the Emperor's Daughter's tomb was my fault, doesn't the Emperor's Daughter have any responsibility? Doesn't the Emperor have any responsibility? It would have been better to open the tomb to me earlier. Would I have needed to work so hard to plot for that bead?"
At dawn, a familiar figure came up the mountain again. Zhong Xiang came to the top of the mountain.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Chen was holding Zhao Lie and stroking the cat, and when he saw Zhong Xiang coming, he secretly became vigilant.
Seeing Zhang Chen guarding against him as if he were a thief, Zhong Xiang immediately became angry, but thinking that he was about to leave the Northern Lands, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "I am about to leave the Northern Lands. My little grandfather will be hosting a banquet for you at the manor tomorrow at noon. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not."
After saying that, Zhong Xiang turned and left arrogantly, as if he didn't want to stay with Zhang Chen for even a moment.
Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang's departing back, constantly pondering, "Is he leaving? That's right, Chen Sanliang is crippled, what's the point of staying in this desolate Northern Land?"
Looking at Zhong Xiang's departing back, Zhang Chen continued to stroke the cat. As for the exploration of the spiritual world, he temporarily stopped it for the past few days. He still needed to conserve his mana to deal with unknown situations.
Zhang Chen picked up honey to feed the demon king Zhao Lie, thinking in his heart, "Fifth Master is hosting a banquet for me, should I go or not?"
"Go! After all, Fifth Master is now considered one of my connections, and I still need to maintain it well." Zhang Chen muttered.
The next day, Zhang Chen left Fox Fairy Nuan to guard the Bagua Furnace in the mountain, and went down the mountain alone wearing a bamboo hat. However, when he walked halfway, passing by the ruins of the Emperor's Daughter's tomb, Zhang Chen saw a figure.
Chen Xu was lying on the ruins of the Emperor's Daughter's tomb, constantly moving rubble, seemingly excavating something.
"This kid actually really escaped from the Pingbian Prince's Mansion?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang's busy back, feeling a little curious, "Could there be some treasure under this Emperor's Daughter's tomb?"
Zhang Chen hesitated slightly in his heart, but in the end, he did not go forward to greet Chen Xu. He also did not want to seize Chen Xu's opportunity, after all, he had already seized Chen Xu's black and white brushes, and he couldn't bully people like this.
Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Xu. According to reason, he still owed him, but he had saved his dog's life before, so one good turn deserves another, so it was considered settled.
Zhang Chen silently came to the Zhong family manor all the way, and then attached an invisibility talisman to come to the backyard of the Zhong family, and saw Zhong Xiang standing in the yard practicing calligraphy.
"What kind of knowledge are you studying?" Zhang Chen dispelled the invisibility talisman and stepped forward to ask.
"Little Grandfather has recently sorted out some clues about that Xinxue, and I took it to study it." Zhong Xiang did not hide it.
Zhang Chen shook his head secretly when he heard the words. Fifth Master's study of Xinxue was just a waste of time, after all, he had already taught all the essence of Xinxue to Little Master.
It can be said that the overall situation of Xinxue has now been settled, unless Little Master falls here, or he finds another way and makes new interpretations on the road outside of Xinxue, otherwise it is just making wedding clothes for Little Master, adding bricks and tiles for Little Master.
"Come with me, Little Grandfather is waiting for you in the backyard." Zhong Xiang put away the books and said to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen followed behind Zhong Xiang, his eyes looking at Zhong Xiang's slender back, and finally focused on Zhong Xiang's buttocks.
Zhong Xiang only felt as if his buttocks were pricked by a needle, and suddenly stopped and glared at Zhang Chen: "Where are you looking?"
Zhang Chen ignored Zhong Xiang's anger, stepped forward and slapped Zhong Xiang's buttocks, and then squeezed it hard: "I have to say, your butt is quite翘."
Zhong Xiang was so angry that he stomped on Zhang Chen's toes, and Zhang Chen grinned in pain. Zhong Xiang said angrily: "If you dare to touch me again and can't control your hands, be careful I chop off your dog paws."
"We are all men, why are you so stingy? At worst, you touch me, I'll let you touch me as much as you want, I'll let you touch me back." Zhang Chen muttered dissatisfiedly.
Zhong Xiang was so angry that he stopped talking. He couldn't argue with this jerk, so he simply stopped arguing, but directly甩袖 and quickly walked to the backyard. He didn't want to stay with him for even a moment.
Zhang Chen smiled when he saw this, thinking that Zhong Xiang was too stingy, but he didn't continue to touch him, but followed him.
In the backyard, under a large banyan tree, Fifth Master was sitting under the tree playing the qin with a pale face. The sound of the qin was melodious and pleasant, like a babbling brook, slowly spreading in the courtyard.
Zhong Xiang and Zhang Chen stood aside, waiting for Fifth Master to play the qin. Zhang Chen looked at Fifth Master's pale face and thought to himself: "Fifth Master seems to have suffered trauma? And the injury is not light? This guy is eager to return to the capital, and doesn't continue to investigate the creation of the tree coffin and the tomb of gods and demons, I'm afraid it also has something to do with his injury. If the Pingbian Prince's Mansion really rises, and then makes a sneak attack, he will be unlucky at that time! The situation in the Northern Lands is complicated at the moment, and it is the best choice for him to withdraw as soon as possible."
After a long time, the sound of the qin stopped, and Fifth Master smiled and turned his head to look at Zhang Chen: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and sit down. Coming here is like coming to your own home, don't be polite, if you are too polite, then you are being an outsider."
