Fairy Desire

When Meng Xiang saw the red mist from Zhu Er's mouth covering Qin Luochuan and the others, he was a little worried at first, after all, he still had some understanding of Suzaku's true dominance.

As time went by, the worries in his heart slowly dissipated, because he neither saw new scars on Qin Luochuan and the others, nor did he see painful expressions on their faces.

After about a quarter of an hour, changes finally appeared in Qin Luochuan and the others.Both Meng Xiang and Cao Dayan could clearly see strands of purple smoke coming out of their mouths, noses and pores.

Those purple fumes seemed to be conscious too, as soon as they came out, they were like little snakes probing their brains, but before they figured out the situation, the red mist spit out by Zhu Er rushed up, entangled them, and filled them one by one. Inside the small cage formed by the red mist.

As long as the purple smoke is locked in the small cage formed by the red mist, it's like criminals being put in prison, and each of them becomes drooping.After a while, some of the purple smoke was slowly assimilated by the cage and disappeared.

After about an hour, Qin Luochuan and the others no longer had a trace of purple smoke overflowing from their bodies, and their faces became very peaceful, and some of them even snored lightly and fell asleep.

Zhu'er opened her mouth and inhaled vigorously, all the red mist covering it and the purple smoke that had not been completely assimilated all flew into its mouth, leaving no drop.

Zhu Er burped, touched her stomach with her wings, showed a satisfied expression, and watched Meng Xiang yawn: "Master, I'm a little sleepy. Let me go back to sleep." Said Then, its eyelids began to fight.

"Zhu Er, you are in a hurry to sleep first. Tell me, are they really all right?"

"Of course it's fine. You don't want to see who made the shot? Zhu Er is the most capable." Zhu Er puffed out her chest, trying to look proud, but fell down in his palm.

Cao Dayan came over, looked at Zhu'er who was lying in Meng Xiang's palm, and said, "Boy, you'd better listen to Zhu'er and send it back to rest. It must be tired to extract Ziyang True Fire with the least damage. broken."

"I'll send Zhu Er back now." As he said, Zhu Er's body in Meng Xiang's hands slowly began to fade, and after about ten seconds, it completely disappeared.

Seeing Qin Luochuan and the others falling asleep soundly, Cao Dayan and Meng Xiang walked out of the cave and walked side by side at the bottom of the canyon.However, the bottom of the valley is very humid and dim because of the lack of sight all the year round, which is not suitable for walking at all, but these are not problems for the two of them.

After walking for a while, Cao Dayan suddenly raised his head, looked at Meng Xiang's face, and said, "Boy, you once told me that you wanted to learn how to make weapons from me, I wonder if you have changed your mind now? "

"Master, are you finally willing to teach me?" Meng Xiang's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes." Cao Dayan nodded, with a trace of sadness flashing across his face, "Oufeng, I was very optimistic about this child. He has a good understanding, and the most important thing is that he is willing to endure hardships. Unfortunately, his life is not good, and he died in the dark. in the hands of the wind."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Meng Xiang, and said lightly: "Boy, don't be angry when I say that. I didn't agree to teach you how to make weapons at the beginning because of your actual situation. Although the Suzaku Vulcan Kung Fu is powerful, But it is also very difficult to cultivate, I want you to devote all your energy to cultivation, my brother and I are very optimistic about you. Boy, don't blame me, right?"

"Uncle, you are my elder, not to mention you are doing it for my own good, how can I blame you?"

"Boy, you are right to think so. The so-called master and apprentice are like father and son. How can a father not expect his son to be good? Although I am not your master, I have the same thoughts."

"Thank you uncle for your love, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and I dare not forget it."

"Boy, you don't need to be polite to me, it's enough if you have the heart." Cao Dayan's expression gradually became serious, "Boy, do you know why I suddenly proposed to teach you the art of refining weapons?"

Meng Xiang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Does it have something to do with Senior Brother Ou?"

"It does have something to do with it. It is too difficult to find a talented disciple like him in a while. But the main reason why I am willing to teach you the art of refining is that I think you have become a top refining teacher's potential."

"Uncle, why did you suddenly give me such a high evaluation? Didn't you say that you lack spirituality and you can't become a master?"

"Boy, do you still remember this? It seems that you still have resentment for my rejection of you at the beginning."

"Uncle, you are joking."

"Boy, I'm not joking. If you asked me to evaluate you today, I would still give you the words lack of spirituality."

"Master, what you said is strange. Since my talent has not changed, why did you say that I have the potential to become a top craftsman just now? Isn't this contradictory?" Meng Xiang this time I was really confused by Cao Dayan.

"I'm not contradicting myself. I just said that because there's something new about you that you didn't have before. That's what makes you special. "

"Something I didn't have before?" Meng Xiang frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something, "Master, is the thing you mentioned really popular in Suzaku?"

"Your boy is not stupid enough."

"Well, Master Uncle is wrong. Didn't you tell me that spirituality is extremely important as a craftsman, without spirituality it is absolutely difficult to achieve great achievements? You also said that nothing outside can change this reality. Although Suzaku True Fire is miraculous, it can be considered as a foreign object, how could it have such a big influence on me?"

"Boy, since you remember it so clearly, you should remember the premise I set when I said these words."

"premise?"

"That's right, it's the premise. My premise is the general situation. Boy, do you think Suzaku's true fire can be counted in the general category?"

"Uncle, according to what you said, can Suzaku True Fire really help me solve my spiritual deficiency?"

"Don't underestimate Suzaku True Fire, its effects are definitely more than what you have seen. I think you should remember that when you cast Suzaku True Fire in the arena, the elders including the suzerain Show it?"

"They all stood up at once, as if they were very excited."

"Being able to make suzerain and the others so excited, it's not hard for you to imagine the preciousness and magic of Suzaku's real fire, right?"

"Yeah." Meng Xiang nodded, "Master, you haven't told me what spirituality is, can you tell me about it?"

"Okay. But it may be very difficult to explain the spirituality clearly. Then I will give you an analogy. As for whether you can understand the true meaning of it, it depends on you."

"Uncle, please tell me. I will try to figure it out carefully."

"Boy, you have read so many books, you must have seen engraved books and manuscripts, right?"

"Yes. But what does that have to do with spirituality?"

"Then let me ask you, what's the difference between a book on an engraving board and a manuscript?"

"The engraved boards are relatively uniform and neat, while the manuscripts are different, each with its own temperament. Oh, by the way. Uncle Shi, the spirituality you mentioned doesn't mean differences and uniqueness?"

"You have touched the edge of spirituality, but this is not the biggest characteristic of spirituality. The greatest manifestation of spirituality is to give life to external objects. For example, a brilliant painter draws a portrait of a person. What he paints is definitely not just a person. , he will reveal the character and temperament of the characters he painted through the portraits, making people feel that it seems to have life. Another example is painting a big river. "

After speaking, Cao Dayan turned his head to Meng Xiang and asked, "Boy, do you know why I emphasize spirituality so much?"

"I don't know, please enlighten me."

"Because spirituality is a necessary thing for refining spiritual weapons and magic weapons above the level of spiritual weapons. If there is no spirituality, the chance of success will even be reduced by more than half. The probability will decrease even more, even when the level of the refined magic weapon reaches a certain level, there is no spirituality or even the slightest possibility of success."

Cao Dayan raised his head, looked at Meng Xiang with a dignified expression, and continued: "Although it is possible for a spiritual weapon refiner and a spiritual weapon refiner to forge spirit weapons and spirit tools above Magic weapon, but there is still a big difference between the two. Magic weapons above the spirit weapon level all have weapon spirit, so evaluating the quality of a high-level magic weapon, weapon spirit is an extremely critical criterion. And weapon spirit To a certain extent, their superiority and inferiority are reflected in their intelligence. Boy, guess what is the difference between the spirit of the magic weapon refined by a spiritual refiner and a non-spiritual refiner? ?”

Meng Xiang pondered for a while, and said: "Uncle Shi, you have already said that. The superiority of a Qiling mainly depends on its intelligence. Is the difference between the two reflected in this aspect?"

"Boy, you still have some savvy. But even though you have thought of it, you can't know how big the difference is between the two. If the spirit of the magic weapon refined by a spiritual craftsman is a normal person , the spirit of the magic weapon refined by a non-spiritual craftsman is what people usually call a fool."

"There is such a big difference between the two?" Meng Xiang was shocked.

"In fact, the actual difference is even bigger than you imagined. Normally, after the birth of the spirit weapon, it will grow. When it grows to a certain level, it is possible to improve the level of the spirit weapon. And those without spirituality The spirit of the magic weapon refined by the refiner will always stay at the level of birth, and there is no possibility of growth at all."

Cao Dayan looked at Meng Xiang, and said in a slightly warning tone: "Boy, if you find a weapon refiner to refine magic weapons for you in the future, especially high-level magic weapons with weapon spirits, you must find out the spiritual level of this weapon master." , or you may end up with a waste."

"Master, don't worry. If one day I really want to ask some craftsman to refine a magic weapon for me, I will definitely ask him to write a picture for me first."

"Boy, your comprehension is good, and you know how to use what you have learned." Cao Dayan showed a very meaningful expression, "Boy, I want to tell you that spirituality is not only important to craftsmen, but also to other industries. What's important is that it's extremely important to us cultivators."

"Spirituality? Could it be that spirituality is causing trouble?" After listening to Cao Dayan's words, a bright light suddenly flashed in Meng Xiang's mind, making him understand a problem that has been bothering him.

He had comprehended the artistic conception early on, but the "Vientiane Sword Art" he created had not made much progress.Is it really because of my own lack of spirituality?He doesn't believe it.He must figure it out as soon as possible.So although he was still talking with Cao Dayan afterwards, his mind was no longer on it.
