Killing God

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Senior brother, you are joking, how can I go to Demon Island and come back at this time?"

Ji Liangcai stood behind the counter and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I don't know if the younger brother will go and come back, but do you have any good things to sell?"

Shen Shi said: "To be honest, brother, I actually came here this time to buy a small magic weapon for receiving things, um," he thought for a while, and then added, "The kind that can be used in the qi refining realm.."

"Huh?" Ji Liangcai glanced at him in surprise, then nodded, and brought Shen Shi to a counter next to him, where there was a row of magic treasures and artifacts of different shapes, in different sizes and shapes. Similarly, rings, bracelets, pockets and even jade plaques and seals can be found at a glance.

Ji Liangcai's eyes flicked over these magical artifacts, and then he walked to the edge of the counter, took out a few rings that looked ordinary and dull from the row of magical artifacts placed in the farthest corner, and placed them on the counter. In front of Shen Shi's eyes, he said: "Junior brother, the magic weapon of Nawu generally requires the Taoism of the Condensation Realm to be used normally, so we don't need to look at the others. As for what you said before, it can be used in the Qi Refining Realm There are only a few 'Little Ruyi Rings' for Nawu Dharma artifacts."

With some curiosity, Shen Shi took these rings one by one and looked at them carefully, and at the same time, Ji Liangcai's voice came from his ear, saying: "Junior brother, this little Ruyi ring is specially made for those rings by the senior brothers in the Qitang. It is custom-made by Qi Refining Realm disciples on the island, and its function is almost the same as that of ordinary Nawu Magical Artifacts, and it needs to be stimulated by one's own spiritual power to use, which is very convenient."

Shen Shi nodded. He had seen similar things a long time ago in Tianyilou, West Lucheng, Yinzhou. There is quite a market for casual repairs. Many people would carry one with them, but as far as he knew, a complete It is true that a complete Nawu Magical Artifact needs to be in the Condensed Origin Realm to use it normally, and the ones in front of me, called Xiaoruyijie, should have some shortcomings.

Sure enough, Ji Liangcai quickly continued and said: "However, after all, this little wishful ring is different from those magic tools that can only be used in the condensing realm. The ones chosen above are low-level spiritual materials, the magic circle inside is incomplete, and the magic weapon itself is also very fragile. Therefore, although a disciple of the Qi Refining Realm can use it, the space that a small wishful ring can hold is only about four feet square. And once opened, it can only be used for four months at most, after the time limit is up, the spiritual material circle in this Little Wishful Ring is almost on the verge of collapse, and it will be turned into a pile of waste by then."

He smiled and said: "After all, it's something missing, that's all there is to it. Junior brother, I've told you everything I need to say. The things are here. Do you still want to buy them?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Buy one."

Ji Liangcai nodded, handed him one of the iron gray rings, put away the other rings, and said to Shen Shi with a smile: "Chenghui, fifteen spirit crystals."

Shen Shi frowned and said, "So expensive?"

Ji Liangcai admitted it frankly, and said: "Yes, it's more expensive than in Liuyun City outside, but..." He smiled and said, "Look, who let this Herring Island have only one shop called Qitang sell these things."

Shen Shi smiled wryly, nodded and took out the spirit crystal from his bosom.

※※※

Most of the 23 spirit crystals I bought freshly went out in a blink of an eye, and what I got back was an inconspicuous ring worn on the finger of my left hand. Shen Shi comforted himself with the money in his heart. I can earn it back. Thinking of it this way, I feel better again.

Leaving the Qitang shop, Shen Shi found a remote roadside in the Herring Collection, focused on channeling some spiritual power in his body, and tentatively touched the little wishful ring in his hand. Sure enough, inspired by the spiritual power, This Little Ruyi Ring suddenly opened up a space in his mind, just as Ji Liangcai said, it was a small space about four feet square, the surrounding was gray, but it was generally stable.

Shen Shi nodded, and took back his spiritual power. Although the four-foot-square space of the Little Ruyi Ring is not very large, it is far from being comparable to the famous treasures such as Xumi Bracelet and Qiankun Bag that can be used after the Yuan Condensation Realm. , but for now, it is enough for him.It's just a little wishful ring that can only be used for four months, which is really a pity.

After buying the Little Wishful Ring, the Spirit Crystal spent more than half of it, and the demon island was suspended again, and Shen Shi fell into a situation of being a little bored and doing nothing for a while, although he was also a little concerned about Gan Ze and others being trapped in the demon island , including the dazzling sword light in the sky seen on the way back last night, but it seems that no one knows about the follow-up of that incident until now, or someone spread it, and he doesn't know what happened, so he can only wait.

He lingered here for a while at the herring market, and he wandered around, only to find that he had unknowingly walked in the direction of the red clam village.

Since he made up his mind to go to Demon Island to hunt monsters, he has not been to Hongceng Village for a while, but he has always had a good impression of this little demon village that secretly coexists with the human race, especially In the past three years, he and the starfish girl in the village have become good friends.

I haven't seen you for a long time, so let's go and have a look.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Hongceng Village.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but the Red Clam Village still looks exactly the same as in his memory, it’s still the quiet little village by the sea, if it wasn’t for the strange red clam shells that everyone in the village is wearing, it would be almost the same. There is no difference between ordinary small human fishing villages.

Because he didn't come here to peel shrimps recently, Starfish would naturally not wait for him at the entrance of the village, so Shen Shi walked into the village at leisure.The road in the village was more lively, and the Red Clam people walking back and forth saw it from time to time. Many of them knew Shen Shi who had been here to peel shrimps for three years, and they all greeted him with a smile, and Shen Shi also greeted him along the way, but As he walked, he gradually realized that something was wrong. Most of the Red Clam people he saw on the road in this village were female.

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes to the side near the sea, and found that there were very few boats left by the sand embankment beside the village where many boats were often moored.

"Are you going fishing again today?"

Shen Shi was taken aback for a moment, these days he has been busy with the affairs of the Demon Island, he hardly moved around Hongceng Village, he just remembered that when he was leaving a few days ago, Haixing told him several times about the fish schools in the waters around Herring Island There was a lot less, which made these red clam people very distressed, and they had to increase the number of times they went fishing.

It seems that even after these days, the situation still does not seem to ease.

Shen Shi walked all the way, and he was familiar with Hongbeng Village. When he came here, of course he still had to meet Hai Xing. She is the granddaughter of the village head of Hongbeng Village, and her residence is behind the altar in the village. It is the largest house in Hongbeng Village.

Walking along the road, Shen Shi quickly saw the altar in Hongceng Village, and of course saw the statue of the pig-headed dragon on the altar at the same time, but it was different from the quietness of ordinary days. There was a large table with a lot of sacrifices on it, as if preparing for a sacrifice.

A few red clam women were busy preparing on the altar, Shen Shi took a closer look, but saw the figure of starfish among them, and hurriedly greeted them.

Hearing Shen Shi's call, Hai Xing raised his head and looked over, he was startled for a while, then a happy smile appeared on his face, and he said something to an old lady beside him, the old lady smiled and nodded, Hai Xing put down the work at hand , quickly walked over to Shen Shi.

"Why are you free to come here today?" Hai Xing said with a smile as soon as he came to him.

Shen Shi scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said: "I was too busy the past few days, and I happened to be free today, so I wanted to come and see you."

Hai Xing glanced at him, smiled sweetly, and said, "You have a wolfish heart, and you haven't forgotten my friend."

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "Isn't what you said about 'conscience'?"

Hai Xing waved his hand and said, "Almost, that's what it means."

Shen Shi whispered: "The meaning is much worse..."

Hai Xing led him to the side, Shen Shi looked back at the altar and said, "What are you doing over there?"

Hai Xing said: "Oh, it's preparing for the sea god sacrifice. When my grandfather and the others come back from fishing tomorrow, they will sacrifice to the sea god."

Shen Shi was taken aback, and said, "I'm only coming back tomorrow, where did they go fishing?"

For the first time, Hai Xing's youthful and beautiful face showed a hint of worry, sighed lightly, and said: "Grandpa and the others went fishing in a distant sea. The journey is too far, and they have to return the next day."

Shen Shi frowned. As far as he knew, the Red Clam Clan has been fishing for a living for many years, and the fishing waters are basically in the waters around Qingyu Island, and they will not be far away at all. Enough to pay back.Listening to Starfish's words now, it is clear that they have been forced to go to the extreme sea to catch fish. This situation is obviously very wrong.

Thinking back on the signs that he had already had when he left, Shen Shi couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said: "There's something wrong with this, I think it's best to tell the Zongmen."

Hai Xing nodded, and said: "My grandfather has already told Senior Brother Wang Gen on this island, and he also went to the sea to check it himself two days ago, but according to my grandfather, Senior Brother Wang Gen didn't find out why, It’s just that the fish schools in the surrounding sea area suddenly decreased a lot, and the sea was deserted. Grandpa said it might be because of the sea god’s anger, so he planned to do a sea god sacrifice.”

Shen Shi was silent, not knowing what to say for a while, Hai Xing glanced at him, but said with a smile: "So, it is actually right for you to leave the village, otherwise, even if you want to peel the shrimp now, we will There is no ghost noodle shrimp to kill for you."

Shen Shi smiled, nodded with a smile.

The two talked for a while on the road at the entrance of the village, seeing people coming and going in the village, many of them went to the Sea God Altar to help, Shen Shi didn't delay Hai Xing anymore, and left, Hai Xing didn't feel particularly heavy I don't know if it's because of his young and cheerful appearance, after bidding farewell to Shen Shi, he bounced all the way to the altar again.

Shen Shi watched her back go away, and when he turned around to leave, his gaze swept across the altar inadvertently, and he saw the tall "Sea God" statue. For a moment, he suddenly felt that statue, that is, The appearance of the pig-headed dragon is really ferocious.
