Chapter 022 The Weasel's Life-Swapping Technique, the Black Tiger Mountain-Suppressing Axe
Cao Kun knew that this was the weasel's evil life-swapping spell.
They don't have the same level of skill as the white-haired weasels, who can easily take people's lives!
So these weasels resorted to a compromise.
A life for a life!
Cao Kun certainly wouldn't let the other party get what they wanted.
He took out the fragments of the Mountain Spirit statue that had been broken earlier, activated the Azure Dragon Technique, and flicked his finger.
"call out!"
After tracing a parabola in the air, the stone struck the weasel opposite it perfectly.
The stone, imbued with dragon energy, smashed the opponent's head like a massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds!
"Snap!"
The weasel's brains splattered, and with a howl, it collapsed into a pool of blood.
Immediately, Wang Kaixuan also stopped what he was doing.
He looked around blankly; it was pitch black.
Until a beam of flashlight light came from behind.
Wang Kaixuan noticed a rope in his hand and quickly withdrew it.
"Holy crap, what happened?"
Wang Kaixuan's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted.
"You've been bewitched by the weasel."
Cao Kun said calmly.
"Oh, huh?"
Wang Kaixuan was taken aback, and at that moment he felt dizzy.
It's like he's drunk too much.
Moreover, he smelled an unpleasant odor.
Cao Kun took a few steps forward, and the beam of his flashlight shone on the dead weasel.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the darkness.
Cao Kun, using the sound to pinpoint the location, threw another stone at it.
"Bang!"
Another scream rang out, and the weasel's brains splattered out, killing it instantly.
Wang Kaixuan reached out and touched the sweat on his forehead; he was still shaken.
He took a flashlight out of his pocket and shone it on.
Wang Kaixuan was thinking of something; he and Cao Kun were two different people.
There were exactly two dead weasels.
This thing is really weird.
Wang Kaixuan looked up and around. He remembered that he had once entered the ghost government office near the Yellow Weasel Grave with Hu Bayi and Yanzi!
Unexpectedly, there is also a ghost government office here.
Wang Kaixuan quickly recounted what had happened back then.
Actually, my understanding is similar to what Cao Kun learned from the novel.
However, this is not the Huangxian Temple.
It is, in fact, the shrine of the mountain spirit.
Cao Kun took two steps forward and saw the stone statue in the center.
It's just an enlarged version of the mountain spirit statue standing in front.
The difference is that the other party is not holding a stone axe.
It was an iron axe.
Cao Kun's eyes lit up immediately.
It is also a magical artifact.
He rushed to the mountain spirit in three strides and took out the axe.
Beneath the golden eyes, a line of data appeared:
【Item Name: Xuanhu Mountain-Suppressing Axe】
[Item Level: Mid-grade Magic Item]
[Item Description: An ancient ritual artifact used by the Mountain God, a tiger-headed deity, to ward off evil spirits. This axe, sealed deep in the mountains for a thousand years with the mountain spirit's stone statue, absorbs the yin energy of the mountains and the evil energy of the desolate forest. It uses the tiger's power to suppress evil, and is engraved with ancient skull patterns as a seal to bind evil. It is an ancient spiritual artifact used by our ancestors to worship the mountain god and ward off mountain demons.]
Item Ability:
1. Tiger's Might Suppresses Evil: It comes with the imposing aura of a mountain tiger, suppressing mountain spirits, wood spirits, wild demons, tiger accomplices, and other mountain monsters. Low-level evil spirits will crumble upon encountering it.
2. Guarding the Mountain and Protecting Against Evil: Inheriting the essence of mountain spirits and deities, when one is in the mountains and forests, one's own evil energy and spiritual power are doubled, making one suitable for dangerous places such as wilderness tombs, deep mountains and old forests.
3. Slaying Yin and Demons: The axe blade contains the evil spirits of a thousand years, capable of slaying wandering souls, splitting miasma, and shattering ghostly fog. Any nameless ghost or desolate tomb spirit can be annihilated and reduced to ashes with a single axe stroke.
[Date of excavation: Remains from an ancient sacrificial ceremony during the pre-Qin period, sealed in the mountains for over 2,300 years]
[Dragon Energy Value: 1360 points]
[Source of Dragon Energy: The residual blessings from ancient mountain god sacrifices to the dragon vein, the accumulation of mountain spirits over thousands of years, and the blessing of the tiger-shaped mythical beast.]
……
It’s really a good thing.
Cao Kun took down the Black Tiger Mountain-Suppressing Axe.
Wang Kaixuan's gaze fell on the earthen wall at the base of the stone statue.
Without saying a word, he picked up a piece of hard beam from the ground and started digging and poking at it.
The wooden beams broke through the mud, and bits of soil fell down in a flurry.
In a short time, the soil layer was completely removed.
Wang Kaixuan reached inside and rummaged around for a while, and sure enough, he pulled out some old objects that had been buried.
Three porcelain bowls.
"Master Cao, look what this is."
Wang Kaixuan said excitedly.
Cao Kun glanced at it, and a passage of text appeared beneath his golden eyes:
【Item Name: Mountain King Offering Bowl】
[Item Grade: Low-grade Spiritual Artifact]
[Item Description: This is a sacrificial bowl unique to the ancient shrine of the Mountain Spirit from the pre-Qin period. The bowl is made of coarse, sandy clay with a thick, heavy interior. In ancient times, people used this bowl to hold animal blood, sacrificial animals, mountain fruits, and stream water, offering them year-round to the Tiger-Headed Mountain Spirit and other mountain gods.]
[Item Abilities]
1. Mountain God's Suppression: Long-term worship of the Tiger Head Mountain God retains the Tiger God's might, naturally suppressing evil spirits such as mountain demons, wood spirits, wild monsters, weasels, and tiger accomplices, who dare not approach within three feet of the bowl.
2. Blood Offering to Guide Spirits: This ritual, passed down for thousands of years, involves offering animal blood, spring water, and wild fruits. It can briefly communicate with the spirits of the mountains and the lingering thoughts of the mountain gods, soothe the restless evil spirits of the desolate hills, and dispel the miasma and ghostly illusions in the mountains.
[Date of excavation: Warring States period, pre-Qin period, unearthed from a hoard at the Shanlinshan Guici site]
[Dragon Energy Contained: 92]
[Source of Dragon Energy: Residual Blessings from Ancient Mountain God Sacrifices to the Dragon Vein]
……
"Fatty, well done! You deserve a big credit."
Cao Kun nodded in satisfaction.
Wang Kaixuan couldn't tell what value the porcelain bowl had, but after hearing Cao Kun's praise, he couldn't stop smiling.
Actually, this was just his experience digging a cellar when he, Hu Bayi, and Yanzi encountered the Ghostly Government Office.
He continued digging, and all that was left inside were some bones.
Wang Kaixuan was not giving up and continued digging and scraping.
Finally, the entire stone statue collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust!
"That's all?"
Wang Kaixuan frowned, feeling greatly disappointed.
Cao Kun, however, stared at the bones with great interest.
Previously, he had obtained the Flood Dragon Spirit Jade Bone from Jin Wantang.
Cao Kun casually picked at a few bones, all of which were common deer and sheep bones.
Finally, he found a large, hard bone inside.
Its body glowed with a dark red light, and it remained uncorrupted for a thousand years.
These are clearly not ordinary animal remains.
Cao Kun's consciousness stirred, and a piece of data appeared under his golden eyes:
【Item Name: Mountain Goat Demon Spine】
[Item Grade: Medium-grade Spiritual Material]
[Item Description: The spine of an ancient man-eating mountain boar demon, sourced from the remains of an ancient mountain ravenous monster.]
[Item Ability:]
1. Demonic marrow as medicine: Demonic marrow can be used to refine exorcism pills, and to treat hidden injuries left by the invasion of cold and evil spirits.
2. Strengthen bones and consolidate vital energy: Grind into powder for medicinal use, it can strengthen the body and consolidate qi and blood.
3. Refining Material Base: Serves as a material for tempering magical artifacts and as an auxiliary material for alchemy, neutralizing the violent energy of Yin-evil magical artifacts and stabilizing the medicinal properties of spiritual objects.
……
Cao Kun nodded in satisfaction.
He quickly put the received items into the Xuanhan Dragon Pattern Thumb Ring.
"Fatty, let's go."
Cao Kun gave the instructions.
Wang Kaixuan nodded; he had originally hoped to touch the gold.
Soon, the two emerged from the cave.
Wang Kaixuan saw the iron pot lying on the grass and quickly went over to pick it up.
The two continued walking towards the stream.
This time, there were no further unusual situations.
Cao Kun led the way to the stream.
Wang Kaixuan carried the iron pot and bent down to wash it.
Suddenly, a clear, ethereal voice echoed from the darkness.
