He said it coldly, but Wei Ye didn't carry out his eviction order, but just lifted the green jade-like broken bone against the fire and looked at it carefully.

He Ming had just been disturbed, and the pre-planned test did not go ahead, but what he wanted had already appeared on the green jade broken bones. As soon as the copper knife touched the jade bone, it hadn't even really cut through it, and it had already left a file mark as thin as a hair on the surface of this green jade leg bone, and with this file mark as the center, there was a miserable gray-white color, which was spreading on the jade-like leg bone.

This gray-white color is very similar to the kind of mud that is commonly known as chicken bone white formed after nephrite jade is soaked in the ground, but as Wei Ye's fingertips lightly scratch the gray-white bone marks, some fine gray-white bone chips fell from the originally almost stone leg bones.

"The yin qi contained in the green jade bone is suddenly reduced by one and a half, bell, write down this data. ”

For those colleagues of the idealistic and antiquist factions, Wei Ye, who is regarded as a standard wild road scattered person in terms of teacher and theoretical reserve, is an expert in folklore and occultism in terms of theoretical reserves, always has a disdain. Yes, the unprovable, unpredictable, or just a crude application of theological hypotheses may give the layman the illusion that he "doesn't understand what it is, but thinks it's powerful", or even a very beautiful illusion. However, for the rank of immortal warlock, there is no theoretical basis, and there is no practical training for the practitioner, which is almost far from the Jianghu showmanship, but in the repeated training day after day, the operation mode of those spells is engraved with the body's reflex instinct, which is just the same level as the dog under the Pavlovian conditioned reflex test.

The operation of the Tao formula is flexible, but the interpretation and operation of the Tao formula must be precise, accurate, and tight. This is the key to the contempt of the immortal warlock of Ye Luzi for those peers who claim to be from famous families, but they can't even learn the most basic Chinese character translation of a talisman.

Still holding the copper knife, Wei Ye waited for Sima Ling to finish recording the test data, picked up an old cowhide that had been prepared for a long time, wrapped the blade and gently stroked it. The transformed bronze knife, thick and blunt, is not so much a knife as a heavy iron ruler, and even the most basic element of a knife, "sharpness", has been completely lost. However, the old cowhide rubbed the blade that almost changed from an acute angle to a right angle, and it was cut in two like a piece of scorching iron cutting through the frozen butter block.

Strictly speaking, the old cowhide was not cut by the blade, and obvious signs of corrosion can be seen from the fracture of the cowhide.

Looking at the erosion marks on the old cowhide, Wei Ye nodded with satisfaction, put the bronze knife back on the table, and snapped his fingers: "The damage value is determined, at least 1 can be released." The 5 energy levels of Eclipse Yin Qi have a very good armor-piercing effect on armor with organic matter as the main raw material such as leather armor and cotton armor. ”

Sima Ling flipped through the notebook in his hand, found the "Concise Evaluation Form of Adventurers' Common Energy Levels" with some worn edges from a long list of data cards, and took it closer to his front to look at it.

"The obvious armor-piercing effect on general cloth armor can only be regarded as 0. 5 energy level, the armor-piercing effect of general leather armor is only an energy level, judging from the effect of this knife, uncle, it can only be regarded as a primary attached weapon with an energy level output. ”

Wei Ye pretended not to hear the reversal of his own oil bottle, but carefully looked at the just-completed magic knife again.

The use of the evil spell to block and oppress the body of the Yin Knife, so that the Yin Knife is always in a state of constantly swallowing and spitting out pure Yin evil qi, it seems to be a very righteous and awe-inspiring Taoist evil sword, but in essence, it is a Yin and evil blade that cannot be more evil. This kind of delicate and deviant design is simply a chicken rib of chicken ribs for a master of magic, but for ordinary swordsmen, it is simply a famous knife that cannot be better.

Such a knife, in the weapon trading market of the Astral Gate, is a very standard attached weapon, or some people call it a demonic weapon. However, it is clear that unlike the usual alchemy-enhanced, charm-protected, and divine blessing-type weapons, the enhancement of this bronze knife is not simply a constant spell or a strengthened weapon material, but a complex and ingenious reprocessing.

If you get it at the job fairs of those famous spell workshops at the Astral Gate, the design idea of this enchanted weapon is enough to open the door to a new world of magic weapon manufacturing for professionals who only know how to look at the notes and Taoist books left behind by ancient mages and ascended immortals. It's a pity that there are few peers in Wei Ye's shrine renovation alchemy room, and Sima Ling has no interest in the boring design work of the spellcasters.

Oh, as for He Ming, from the very beginning, Wei Ye had no intention of getting even the slightest bit of feedback from him.

Picking out an iron knife box that looked barely okay, Wei Ye sealed the bronze knife that had passed the weapon effectiveness test with a handful of tomb soil unique to Beibi Mountain into the box. He then turned around and took a string of roast rabbit ears from Sima Ling, who was feasting on it, and bit the crispy bones with a rattling sound.

The rabbit meat marinated in spices has a rich taste, but it does not cover the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, tasting the long-lost fragrance of cumin sesame seeds, Wei Ye remembered the paper on the introduction of cumin to East Asia in the late Tang Dynasty by a senior brother who studied the history of spice cultivation when he was still in college.

Although it is just a barbecue spice that is not usually available, if you want to eat it in Luoyang at this time, you can only rely on the Adventurer Chamber of Commerce at the Astral Gate to supply it. Thinking of this, Wei Ye couldn't help but think of Gan Wantang, who was more suitable than a man in Xuanduan sacrifice clothes, and it seemed that her cooking skills were much cuter than her spells.

In the past few days in Luoyang Dumen, the uncle and nephew who basically didn't pay attention to the trivial things at home almost relied on the portable energy bars they bought at the Astral Gate to make do with calories, and occasionally turned on the fire, that is, to make some green onion soup and wheat rice and other things that were basically not tasteful. But the people of the old Wei family are not taste idiots, and the taste buds on the tip of the tongue are picky, and they are not something that can be dismissed casually. To this extent, the supper from the Taiping Taoist Altar in Luoyang in the past few nights is also worthy of being praised as above the level.

Wiping the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, Wei Ye held the teacup and looked at He Ming with satisfaction: "Thank you for the past few days, if there is anything I can help with, you can mention it." ”

Listening to Wei Ye's heavy bite of the word "trivial", Sima Ling rolled his eyes, and added with a tone: "I'll do research, and I will send you to death if I rebel, that's pretty much what it means." ”

"Ahem, well, anyway, let's get down to business, what's going on over there?"

With a fist in his palm, He Ming took out a scroll from his arms: "Sister Gan, since they knew about you, boss, they have always wanted to entrust you to do us a favor, but they have to ask me to wait until you take the initiative to speak." So, I'll say it politely, our Luoyang branch has obtained a Taoist book, but the people in the branch can't decipher the content inside, so I want to ask you to help us decipher the content of it, okay?"

Hearing the word "Daoshu", Wei Ye narrowed his eyes and carefully examined He Ming's face, but he didn't see anything superfluous from the young guy's upright and clean face.

After a moment of silence, he took the scroll from He Ming's hand, and when he unfolded it, the frontispiece was a line of extremely beautiful small characters: "Ruyi rolls the stone chapter, disciple Hu Shi Gonglu". Just looking at this line of words, Wei Ye also understood that this Taoist book did not belong to the Taiping Sutra system practiced by Taiping Dao at all, and it was no wonder that the Luoyang Branch of Taiping Dao would find him to decipher it.

"I'll help you take a look," Wei Ye's fingers scratched at random on the scroll with great dishonesty, his well-trimmed nails scratching up and down on the smooth silk surface, and from time to time he would gently draw circles in certain places, like a daring playboy teasing his beloved lover, "but I can't guarantee that I will be able to decipher the correct content, such as this sentence - the divine spring roars and the dragon roars in the fire." This is a common hidden phrase in the Daomen Dan Method, but the image of the dragon and tiger has different meanings in the Outer Dan Method and the Inner Dan Method, and any speculation is reckless and dangerous without confirming the specific direction of this Dao Method. ”

"For example, when making mapo tofu, it's scary to think of the salt in the recipe as sugar. ”

Thinking of the famous Sichuan dish that he had never successfully trial-produced, Wei Ye sighed slightly, put down the scroll, and began to open a slip for He Ming: "Give me a week, and I will try to give you a satisfactory answer." Even if I fail to decipher it, I will contact my seniors and brothers in the industry to introduce you to a more reliable expert in religious studies. ”

Recommending religious practitioners to seek help from religious experts sounds like an anachronistic black humor, and only certain people who always have an anachronistic taste will start telling such jokes at inappropriate times from time to time.

However, this tease with some sour smell of the study is probably as useless for a stone as half a bottle of white vinegar poured on granite.

"Sister Gan said that except for the boss, there is probably no one in the entire Luoyang City who is willing to help us do the deciphering work during the current period of time. The young man, who looked like he was carved out of granite from every aspect, crossed his arms and said something that seemed to him to be taken for granted, "Although Sister Gan didn't say it, I always feel that you are a very powerful character in spells." ”

"I'm really sorry to make you look up to it," Wei Ye flicked his tongue with a teacup, and there was no laziness in his tone, "Although I studied folklore in school for several years before joining the Astral Adventure, I can be said to be a standard junior in terms of magic practice. ”

This is not true, if it weren't for someone who was free and loose to the bones, it would not be suitable for someone to mix into any Buddhist temple and Taoist temple and start as an outer disciple who chopped wood and carried water, and would not have chosen such a path of loose cultivation that looks beautiful but is actually very frustrating. But it's okay, the lonely high genius boy was suppressed everywhere in the sect, and then one day he had a sudden adventure and began to "snap" left and right at the little face of the same door and the old face of the teacher.

......

It turns out that He Ming, a young man with a literary name that is not suitable for him, is by no means a qualified negotiator. When he waved goodbye to his uncle and nephew, who had been in high spirits after supplementing the late-night meal, with his usual momentum, he seemed indifferent to the dizzying conditions on the slip he had brought back to the altar.

There was no high amount of money for extortion, and the request for "a full set of sacrificial vessels and a nine-section scepter for sacrificial wine as a reward" was even more unkind than the high amount.

The internal composition of the Luoyang branch of Taiping Road is actually more complicated than that of the Big Gun Mansion and the Northern Lieutenant's Office, and it is conceivable that this expenditure will probably make the heads of the provisional committee quarrel. Thinking of the middle-aged man in the Provisional Committee who was faintly the leader of the people because he was in charge of the War Readiness Department, he paused slightly, and as a result of the inertia of forcibly stopping the movement of his body, he stepped on a piece of tile under his feet again.

With the angry screams and curses of the people in the room at his feet, and the barking of dogs not far away, he moved quickly in this direction with the torches, and he raised his hand and tightened the long hairband that was tightly fastened to his forehead, and ran again in the night.
