Chapter 268 Five Spiritual Leaves
The leaves in Phytolacca's hand looked crystal clear, like emeralds.
There are some patterns on the leaves, which look like they were smoked.
Phytolacca put the leaves to his nose and smelled them.
There is a faint scent of incense on these patterns.
So, they were baked with incense?
But where did Uncle Huai receive the incense?
Phytolacca asked curiously.
Uncle Huai shook his branches randomly, as if he was making gestures, but unfortunately he couldn't understand them.
Shang Lu looked back at Sanniang.
Sanniang was taking out a new piece of paper and was transcribing "Longhu Jin". She didn't have time to explain it to him, so she could only give up and continue to look at the leaves given by Uncle Huai.
There are five leaves in total.
The incense sparkle patterns on three of them look like swords.
Phytolacca held it in his hand and weighed it, then a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he waved and threw the three leaves away.
"Swish swish——"
Three leaves flew out of his hand, and under the influence of blood energy, they flew very fast, like three green thunderbolts.
In the blink of an eye, they flew to the wall and hammered in with a clanging sound.
really!
These three leaves with sword patterns are hard and sharp and can be used as hidden weapons.
And they are different from ordinary concealed weapons.
They are neither gold nor stone, they are just leaves, which are very convenient for hiding.
Even if someone is sensitive to Jin Ge's murderous aura, it is difficult to detect them.
Not only that, these leaves can also be used in conjunction with paper figures to double the effectiveness of sneak attacks.
Phytolacca moved his hand, and the three leaves that were nailed into the stone wall immediately circled back to his hand.
Look carefully, the leaves are intact.
Phytolacca is very satisfied.
"Yes, yes. But three tablets are too few. Can you give me more? One hundred and ten tablets. When you encounter an enemy, give him fire coverage first?"
Uncle Huai didn't know what fire coverage meant, but when Phytolacca asked him to give him a hundred or so leaves, his whole body was trembling.
The trunk shook continuously, as if shaking its head and saying: "No! Just these few pieces have exhausted my cultivation."
At the same time, Heiyun also came to his senses and kept shouting "咴咴" in a rapid and high-pitched voice, as if he was cursing someone.
It's really insulting.
The three leaves that Phytolacca threw out just now rubbed its head, butt and belly and were nailed into the wall.
If it makes even the slightest mistake, its head, buttocks and belly will be in danger of being cut and pierced.
No wonder it reacted and cursed loudly.
But Phytolacca ignored it, since he didn't understand it anyway.
Phytolacca picked up the other two leaves.
The patterns on these two leaves are not swords. One is an eye pattern, and the other is a mess of lines.
"How to use these two leaves?"
Shang Lu raised his head and asked Uncle Huai.
Judging from the incense spark patterns, it doesn't look like they are used as hidden weapons.
The branches and leaves of the locust tree swayed wildly again.
Phytolacca still can’t understand.
Fortunately, this time, Sanniang helped translate.
She raised her hand, and a wisp of dark wind flew into the leaves with eye patterns.
The leaves instantly flew up and grew larger.
Not only did it cover Phytolacca's eyes, but two bean-like things grew out on both sides of the leaves, and they were quickly inserted into his ears.
Phytolacca immediately lost sight and hearing of what was going on around him.
"One leaf blinds the eyes? Two ears are covered with beans?"
Phytolacca understood the use of this leaf.
The next moment, the leaves changed back to their original shape.
Phytolacca instantly understood when he saw this: "This thing has a time limit?"
"Yes." Sanniang nodded lightly and told him: "The length of the time limit is related to the cultivation level of you and the target."
Phytolacca understood.
As for the specific time limit, it is estimated that it will be explored in actual combat.
But in a battle, being blinded and blinded even for a short moment can be quite fatal.
This leaf is even more precious and useful than the three leaves just now.
Immediately afterwards, Phytolacca no longer needed Sanniang's instruction, and imitated Sanniang, stimulating his blood energy and activating the last leaf.
"Swish swish——"
Countless green lights flew out from the leaves and turned into vines. In an instant, they entangled the black clouds who were still cursing in the corner and tied them into rice dumplings.
Heiyun was confused, thinking that he had scolded him too harshly and was going to be punished. He tried to struggle, but found that he couldn't break free. The more he struggled, the tighter the vines tied him, so he had to change his mind quickly.
Although he still screamed "咴咴", his voice was no longer high-pitched and high-pitched, but became low-pitched, with a sense of begging for mercy.
Phytolacca ignored it and just stared at the vines wrapped around the black clouds.
After a few breaths, the vines turned into green light and disappeared suddenly.
Although the time limit is a bit short, Phytolacca is still very satisfied.
At this time, Uncle Huai shook his branches and leaves again.
Shanglu still couldn't understand, so he turned to Sanniang and asked: "What is Uncle Huai talking about this time?"
Sanniang glanced up and said: "He said these two leaves can only be used once a day, and they are afraid of fire, so he asked you to be careful."
"Okay, I remember it."
Shanglu thought for a while and then said: "Sanniang, wait for me at home. I will go to the Thief Cao Department to ask for leave. When we come back, we will set off to Feiwu County."
After Sanniang said "Okay", Shanglu went out.
This time, the black cloud did not follow him.
I don't know if I'm still sulking or if I haven't calmed down yet.
Shang Lu arrived at the Cao Cao Bureau all the way. He first found Chen Li and told him about going on a trial mission.
Chen Li listened and was very supportive.
"Shang Cao Cao can go with peace of mind, I'm here in the office."
Immediately afterwards, he asked: "Do you want to take a few thieves and thieves with you?"
Shang Lu was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to say that this was my personal matter. How could I bring the officials from the government office with me?
The words came to his lips, but before they were spoken, he suddenly reacted.
The Bureau of Thieves is responsible for handling theft cases and maintaining public order.
Investigating and punishing prostitutes is also within the scope of the Thief Cao Department's responsibilities.
What if Shang Lu and the people from Cao's office went to Feiwu County to assist Zhongli, the great witch, in searching for Nashangui?
Then after the incident is completed, the thief Cao Shu, as the "assisting party", will also have merit.
Those involved in this case can even receive awards.
Even more.
After understanding the whole story, Phytolacca immediately said:
"Our Thief Cao Department was the first to discover this case. Although it was handed over to the Witch Court for disposal, we are also responsible for assisting!
It's just that the mountain ghost is weird and weird, and its strength is extraordinary. Even if it is to assist in the search, it is necessary to choose a few people who are not weak in cultivation. ”
"That's natural." Chen Li nodded, "Those in the office can be chosen by merchants and thieves."
Shang Lu said hello, and without being polite to Chen Li, he went to pick out a few thieves who were not bad in cultivation and were good at finding traces.
Another thief named Cao Li who was familiar with Feiwu County was selected.
But it was Shentu who had been injured on his face earlier.
The injury on his face has healed well, and he returned to the office two days ago to continue running errands.
Shang Lu asked Shentu to find out the information related to demons, ghosts and wild gods in Feiwu County in the past year or two to see if there was anything related to mountain ghosts.
To grasp the situation and prepare early.
Then he asked the few begging thieves to collect horses and equipment to prepare for departure.
Shang Lu himself was not idle either. He went straight to Jia Zhanku and applied for several residual spirits and witchcraft weapons in case of emergency.
