Chapter 210: The Mummy on the Mountaintop
The light character is a rare talisman.
The effect is to reduce the weight of an item weighing no more than one ton by ninety percent, with the option of reducing the true weight or the holding weight.
Lowering real weight is literal.
But once the weight is reduced, the power will also be reduced.
Therefore, Wu Xian favored the latter, which only reduced the user's holding weight, while the enemy still felt the original power.
Swish!
A faint light spread from top to bottom on the ghost-head knife. Wherever the light passed, the rust on the blade disappeared.
Wu Xian felt his hands lighten and the corners of his mouth curled up.
The blood-painted ghost-head knife was really useful. The evil aura emanating from it alone saved Wu Xian a lot of trouble. But it was too heavy. Not to mention using it to chop people, even just walking around with the knife would make him tired.
But now...
Wu Xian put his little finger into the ghost's head and gently lifted it up. The whole sword fell into his hand. Then he swung it in the air, and a clear sound of breaking through the air was made.
Not only is it easier to use, but because of its weight, Wu Xian can now swing it faster, so its power is also greatly increased.
If he encounters the ball-bouncing ghost again, it won't be so easy for him to dodge Wu Xian's knife.
Using a fancy posture, he put the sword back into the scabbard.
Wu Xian looked at the spell. He didn't have high expectations for it. Most of the spells were direct attack types, so he just had to choose the one that suits him.
The three spells are the Electric Chain Spell, the True Water Spell and the Golden Sword Spell.
Wu Xian doesn't want the True Water Curse.
The Golden Sword Curse creates a golden long sword made of Gengjin Energy in your hand. Its effect overlaps somewhat with the Ghost Head Sword, so Wu Xian will not consider it for the time being.
Therefore, Wu Xian chose the electric chain spell.
This spell can release three lightning chains that last for three seconds. It can attack one person alone or multiple targets at the same time. It is a standard spell.
The biggest reason why Wu Xian chose it was actually to improve the favorability of Leisheng Puhua Tianzun and obtain his blessing.
It’s been so long since I entered the blessed land.
Wu Xian was actually a little envious of the blessings of people like Shi Ji and Wei Dian.
Although his own blessings were also very powerful, the things he obtained were too messy and unsystematic. If the three things given by the gods could be biased towards the thunder and lightning system, Wu Xian could become the Thunder and Lightning King.
He still hasn’t had enough of the rolling thunder that hit him last time when he fought the body-stealing evil spirit!
It didn't take much time to open the five doors and worship the gods. Wu Xian and the others still had some residual incense in their hands, so they decided to look for treasures again.
Wu Xian held half of the four of diamonds between two fingers and shook it slightly. The half card began to burn. He was launching his last treasure hunt.
The smoke floated, pointing to the only mountain on Surprise Island.
Wu Xian touched his rumbling stomach and sighed helplessly: "Let's go, let's go hiking..."
……
Surprise Island is not very big.
This mountain is naturally not high.
There was a railing at the foot of the mountain prohibiting entry, which was kicked open by Sun Qian, who was irritated due to hunger.
The road up the mountain is paved with bluestone steps, so it is not occupied by plants. Occasionally, when you encounter some branches growing horizontally, you can just cut them off with a razor blade.
Wu Xian also picked up a perfect wooden stick.
Using wooden sticks as crutches, the three of them quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, panting. Although the mountain was not high, it still consumed a lot of energy for the three hungry and thirsty people.
There is an ancient circular building on the top of the mountain.
Wu Xian used a wooden stick to carefully push the door open, and what came into view was a huge space.
There were no walls separating the circular building, only a huge, empty circular room. There was no roof on the top of the dome, and a ray of sunlight fell on the mummy in the middle.
Yes.
There was a mummy in the middle of the room. In the humid environment of the island, the corpse in the middle not only did not rot and grow insects, but instead weathered into a mummy...
Except for the mummies.
There were many things in the room that surprised the three people.
First of all, yellow talismans were pasted everywhere, some for protecting the house and settling down, some for promotion and salary increase, family safety, and stable feng shui. There were so many kinds that Wu Xian felt dizzy.
In addition, there are bronze mirrors, countless mahogany products, bronze bells, rulers, pestles, and Guanyin statues...
Shi Ji couldn't help but complain.
"Wow, these things can be used to open a store."
Sun Qian picked up a bronze mirror, but found that it was already covered with thick rust, the inside of the Guanyin statue was covered with cobwebs, and the yellow talisman broke at the touch. All of these things had already decayed.
The two of them searched the room, trying to find something that was still usable.
Wu Xianze walked closer to the mummy.
Pick up a notebook from the ground.
The front half of the notebook is a list of everything in the room, with many pages filled with notes.
'Two relics from a high monk at Bainiu Temple.'
'The Taoist priest of Jinxing Temple personally drew 108 talismans to exorcise evil spirits.'
"A thousand-man-slaying demon-head sword."
"Thousand-year-old peach wood sword..."
Everything here was found by the owner of the notebook. Some were bought at auctions, and some were bought in person at temples or Taoist temples.
Everything in this room is expensive, not cheap stuff.
Wu Xian's eyes moved slightly.
"Amazing Island belongs to the Yan family. For such a place to exist on the highest hill of the island, this mummy must be a member of the Yan family... and in the Yan family, only the head of the family can afford to do this."
"So this mummy should be Yan Ye, the head of the Yan family."
"Kotonoha made such a big show, probably trying to kill or seal an evil spirit. Obviously, he failed."
"This may be the truth behind the bloody incident ten years ago. He failed to kill the ghost and was killed by the ghost instead..."
While Wu Xian was thinking.
Shi Ji and Sun Qian had searched the entire huge room and found four items that had not yet completely decayed.
They were a crudely made peach wood sword, a samurai sword that had been rusted beyond recognition, a piece of dried fruit that still had some moisture in it, and a wrinkled yellow talisman.
Wu Xian picked up these things one by one, and the information of these items was displayed on the certificate.
Thousand-Year Peach Wood Sword: The material is the heart of a thousand-year-old peach tree, made by children playing, it is not tainted by craftsmanship, and can hurt ghosts and evil spirits.
Hojimonji: A precious sword lost in a foreign country. The person who found the sword soaked it in various dirty things day and night in order to humiliate the owner of the sword. The sword became stained with foul air and was hated by ghosts and gods.
Dried apricots: Dried apricots made from the magical creature 'Stream Red Apricot' can ward off wind and thunder when eaten. However, as time passes, their effectiveness has greatly decreased and only a weak effect remains.
Amulet: The amulet drawn by the nameless Taoist can save a life...
Looking at these four things, Wu Xian sighed softly.
"Alas, fake goods are harmful to people..."
Most of the magical tools that Kotonoha bought at a high price were actually fakes.
Although he did buy a few really useful things, they were piled up with other items. He might not know he had such treasures in his hands until he died...
