Jianming Chaos

"This short knife can bring people back to life?!" In Zhiming's impression, a knife can only kill people, not save them.

"That's right, this is one of the six legendary artifacts in Persia - the Blood-Sealing Blade!" Ashina's tone was unquestionable.

"Can you tell me about this knife in detail?" Zhiming was successfully hooked.

"This is the artifact used by the founder of the Persian Empire, Juluz the Great, when he conquered the New Babylonian Kingdom in the south. It is said that it was given to him by the God of Immortality to help him establish a new empire. This knife can stop people who have just died. The blood flow and all bodily functions in the human body; that is to say, it can keep the body from decomposing until after a period of time, the dead will be resurrected by itself. Originally, the God of Immortality hoped that he would use it only when he had to. He made a solemn promise that he would never use it unless it was absolutely necessary. But later, due to selfishness, in order to revive some important soldiers, he still misused the divine weapon, causing chaos in the world of life and death. The God of Immortality reprimanded him , and declared that the artifact would be recovered. At that time, Emperor Juluz was attacking the nomadic people on the northeast grassland——Masagetai. Died by the sword of the enemy. This is a legend from the kingdom of Persia about 200 years ago."

"This magical weapon can actually bring people back to life? It's too incredible!" Zhiming thought to himself, why is there no such good thing in Han soil.

"Accordingly speaking, this artifact should have been recovered by the God of Immortality, and it has long since ceased to exist in the world. How could it be picked up by you?" Ashina was puzzled.

"Could it be that the knife I picked up is not the same knife as you said?" Zhiming thought it was not surprising that the objects were similar.

"No, just now you said that the handle of the knife is inlaid with amethyst gemstones, which is enough to prove that this is indeed a blood-sealing blade. Because amethyst represents the eyes of gods in Persia." Ashina said with certainty.

"I also discovered it by accident. If I had known it was an artifact, I would have kept it safe." Zhiming regretted that he could have used this dagger to save the prince, but he lost it because of his own mistake.

"It's useless for you to hold it in your hand. This artifact, like Dragon Ball, needs a spell to activate." Ashina's words made him feel a little relieved.

"Then who else knows the spell of the Blood Sealing Blade?"

"I don't know either, it seems to have been lost long ago."

"It means, even if you get this knife, it can only be used as an ordinary knife without a spell? What's the use of those gangsters taking it away?"

"Maybe they just wanted to get the amethyst gem. But they were wrong. No matter how hard they tried, the gem could not be removed. It was protected by the spell of the Immortal God." Ashina seemed I am quite familiar with domestic myths and legends.

"I still don't quite understand, since the God of Eternal Life has made up his mind to take back this knife, why is it still passed down in the world?" Zhiming continued to ask.

"This is what I just wanted to express. The world has no way of knowing, so they can only ask the gods." Ashina shrugged.

"...By the way, you seem to have mentioned the word 'Dragon Ball' twice just now. Does it have anything to do with the crystal ball?" Zhiming noticed another detail.

"The crystal ball you're talking about refers to the holy ball, right? That's the dragon ball, which is crystallized from the magic spirit energy in the dragon's body. A magic dragon can spit out three dragon balls. Here is a more secret way of saying: Long-term exposure to the light of dragon balls can purify the soul, eliminate karma, and enable people to ascend to heaven after death. Therefore, most Persians don’t know that crystal balls are dragon balls, and they don’t know the function of dragon balls. I guess that the gangsters should be I know." Ashina explained.

"So that's it. The crystal ball is the dragon ball." Zhiming finally understood why the crystal ball can fly with people and emit night light. It turns out that it is formed by the condensation of the essence of the giant flying dragon.

He thought of the mural in the temple, and remembered that gangsters were so eager to get it, and suddenly felt enlightened.Most of the people here are religious, and Dragon Ball is a sacred and noble thing to them.

"By the way, I want to know, what kind of sword is that?" Ashina pointed to the divine sword leaning against the end of the bed.

Only then did Zhiming remember that he forgot to check whether the weapon was still there. Seeing that the Excalibur was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is called the Demon Slayer Excalibur. Yes, it is very powerful and can destroy all evil forces. However, it also has shortcomings. When facing ordinary humans, it cannot exert its supernatural power and can only be used as a sharp sword. The last time I faced you in the capital When my brother was with a few devils, it couldn't exert its real power, and seemed to be restricted. Could it be that it, like a human, would have the symptoms of 'acclimatization' when it went to a different place?"

Ashina pursed her lips and smiled, but immediately became serious again, as if she was afraid that the other party would see how she looked after being amused.

Zhiming didn't expect this to make her laugh, so he just continued to play: "You said it is so unbelievable, facing those demons like a shy child, I can't beat it and scold it, I can only let it go Indulge in it. Alas, you really can't be willful with a sword!"

I thought Ashina would continue to laugh, but I didn't expect it to fail this time.She looked at him solemnly, as if she had been touched again.

Zhiming was slightly embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, after you carried me back last night, why didn't your brother order those demons to attack me?"

"You drive the dragon away, and they will be afraid; you know, this monster is a Persian nightmare. Don't you see how this castle looks like it was burned? It's a masterpiece. And , Those demons don’t know you are here. This castle is very big, there are many places to hide, and there are not patrolling demons everywhere. But, after noon, you will leave the castle, because Once the hot sun is over, those demons will appear, and they will hang around outside this house every day, in case I leave the castle alone."

"Then you can escape in the morning, isn't it time for free activities in the morning? Didn't you just go out to pick herbs?" Zhiming was puzzled.

Ashina smiled wryly, and said, "Of course I know. In fact, I don't want to leave, I want to stay here with him."

"Who is he referring to? Your brother?"

Ashina didn't answer him.Zhiming had no choice but to say: "Okay, it seems that you have something on your mind. Then I should pack up and go down the mountain, otherwise after noon, I will have to kill again. I don't want to hurt your brother, as long as he doesn't hurt anyone ...By the way, my mission has not been completed, and the prince's blood has not yet been obtained. Could it be...your brother has... drank the blood and became immortal?"

Ashina shook her head and said: "I'm not sure, this kind of ceremony is usually held at night. I don't know what happened outside after I carried you back last night. Even if you get the blood now, it will not It’s fresh. The prince can’t be saved, so let’s die.”

Hearing this, Zhiming was very depressed. Although saving the prince was not his top priority, he didn't want to disappoint Xiaolan, and the prince is a good man.He regretted wasting some time in the town last night, and if it wasn't for taking a bath, he might have got the blood back.Although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that this operation had completely failed.

"By the way, you just said that Persia has six great artifacts. Which six are they?" Zhiming thought, since the mission has failed anyway, he might as well learn more information.

Ashina thought for a while and said, "Dragon Ball and Blood Sealing Blade are two of them. Of course, Dragon Ball is called Crystal Ball. There are four other things, three of which are: Sand Blade of Time, Chain of Snake Curse And the horse soul drum. The last one, I don't know what it is."

"Even you don't know. Then how do you know there are six?"

"My brother told me, and he also heard from others. To be honest, apart from the Dragon Ball and the Blood Sealing Blade, I'm not sure if the other artifacts are still in the world. If you are not in a hurry to return to the Han Dynasty, stay in Persia In a few days, more unknown secrets can be discovered. Persia is a mysterious country."

"This... how about next time, I still have a lot of things to deal with in the Han Dynasty, and there are many relatives and friends waiting for me to go back. The crossing is just an accident, not in the plan. I have to go back to the capital now, See you next time if you have a chance." Zhiming was about to leave.

Ashina wrapped the Dragon Balls and returned them to him, and took back the clothes that had been dried outdoors for him to change into, while she stood outside the door and waited.

After Zhiming put on his clothes, Ashina came in and said, "When you go back, please keep the Dragon Ball a secret and never mention it to anyone. I don't want everyone to know that the Dragon Ball is a crystal ball in the future, otherwise there will be chaos in the world." of."

Zhiming also knows that if the world knows that this holy ball is the spirit ball spit out from the mouth of the legendary dragon, it will inevitably trigger a large-scale battle, and it might be the beginning of the end of the world.

Zhiming re-tied the dragon balls on his back, took the Excalibur, and prepared to go out.He seemed to have a lot of things he wanted to ask Ashina, but he really couldn't think of what to ask all of a sudden.

"You really don't want to come with me?" Zhiming reconfirmed.

"I'm not leaving. I'm fine here. At least I have someone to protect me. I wish you to return to your own era as soon as possible." Although Ashina had a smile on her face, Zhiming could tell that she was just Just hold on.

Zhiming bid farewell to Ashina with a trace of regret, and walked out of the castle.It's not past noon yet, so he doesn't have to worry about the attacks from the devils.

He came to the sealed place with great strides, saw that the horse was still moving, and said happily: "It seems that those demons didn't attack you, Brother Ma. Fortunately, I don't have to walk down the mountain; otherwise, I would You have to go to the town to buy a horse."

This operation was originally to save the life of the prince, but it turned out that he learned some legends of the Persian kingdom, including the origin of the cult Fu Mingsheng, the legend of the dragon ball as the real body of the crystal ball, and the blood-sealed gem that was accidentally picked up. The origin of the blade, and so on.

Zhiming is quite conflicted about not being able to complete the task this time, not to mention being delayed by taking a bath, even if he arrived ahead of time, if Ashina hadn't rescued him, he might have died in this demon castle .No matter how advanced martial arts are, if they can't beat magic, what's the use?

Zhiming deeply realized that compared with Yulong's own skill, there was still a gap; if it was Yulong, he should be able to defeat the King of Arcane without needing Ashina's rescue.He hopes that he can learn a more advanced martial art as soon as possible, a martial art that can resist all kinds of magic.

However, at least this trip allowed him to deepen his understanding of Persia and improve his own skills; more importantly, he got to know Xiaolan.He secretly vowed in his heart that he must bring Xiaolan back to the Han Dynasty.

Zhiming got on his horse and rushed down the mountain at high speed.He made up his mind, went back to find Xiaolan, ignored the whereabouts of the Blood Sealing Blade and what happened in the capital, and went directly with her to the neighboring town to find the wizard Torbes, begging him to send them back to the Han Dynasty .

To be honest, he was tired of meddling in things here.What happened here had nothing to do with him in the first place, he just accidentally crossed over, so why should he actively participate in it?For modern times, these are already historical events, and it is impossible for him to deliberately change the trajectory of historical development.On the contrary, what he is most worried about now is the safety of his master and his sister. After all, it has been a few days, and the good and bad are uncertain.

Regarding the matter of Yupei and Sun Shangxiang, Zhiming has already guessed seven or eight points.Just now Ashina said that she wanted to stay in the castle with "him", referring to the Vulcan saint who taught her to speak Chinese. Restricted, can only maintain an underground love affair.Later, after the plague happened, he was forced to leave the castle. In fact, he did not die of the plague, but King Offa lied to her that he was dead in order to make his sister give up.Ashina believed it was true, thinking that his body was somewhere in the castle, or that she had become one of the devils, and she wanted to be with his soul forever, so she didn't want to leave the castle.The subsequent plot should be: One day in the future, Ashina finally found out that her lover was not dead, and took the opportunity to quietly leave the castle to find her lover alone.King Offa could have easily killed her lover, but he couldn't bear to make his sister sad, so he didn't do it.Ashina finally found her lover, and they left Persia, a sad place, to the distant Kyushu to have children.Sun Shangxiang is their descendant several generations later.

In this way, Sun Shangxiang is also of Persian descent, not Sun Quan's biological sister.As for how she became the younger sister of the Sun family, Zhiming didn't care. He just wanted to leave Persia with Xiaolan and return to the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.At this time, he didn't know that great changes had taken place inside the capital.
