Shen Shi smiled: "Elder martial brother, you are joking. How can I go to the 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 Younger Martial Brother has gone and returned, but what good things do you want to sell?"
Shen Shi said, "To tell you the truth, Elder Martial Brother, I came here to buy a small magic tool to take things. Hmm," he thought for a moment and added, "The one that can be used in the refining realm."
"Huh?" Ji Liangcai looked at him in surprise, then nodded and took Shen Shi to a nearby counter where there were a row of magic weapons with different shapes, sizes and shapes. Rings, bracelets, pockets, even jade plates and runes should have everything at a glance.
Ji Liangcai glanced at these magic tools, then walked to the edge of the counter and took out several rings from the row of magic tools placed in the corner, which looked ordinary and dull, and put them in front of Shen Shi, Said: "Younger martial brother, the objects receiving magic tools usually need to be used normally in the Ningyuan realm, so we don't need to look at other objects. As for the objects receiving magic tools that you said can be used in the gas refining realm, there are only these 'small Ruyi rings'."
Shen Shi was curious. He took these rings one by one and looked at them carefully. At the same time, Ji Liangcai's voice came to his ear. He said, "Younger martial brother, this little Ruyi Ring was specially made for the disciples of the island's Qi refining realm by the senior martial brothers in our sect. Its function is almost the same as that of ordinary objects taking magic tools, and it is also very convenient to use it with their own spiritual power."
Shen Shi nodded. A long time ago, he had seen similar things in the first floor of the sky in Xilu City, Yinzhou. There was a market in casual repair, and many people would take one with them. However, as far as he knew, complete and complete objects taking magic tools really needed the Taoist practice in Ningyuan to be used normally, and these small Ruyi precepts in front of him should have some shortcomings.
Sure enough, Ji Liangcai quickly went on to say: "But after all, this little Ruyi Ring is different from those magic tools that can be used in Ningyuan, and it is specially made for the meager Taoist practices of the disciples in the refining region. Therefore, the lower level Holy materials are chosen to make the Holy materials. The array inside is incomplete, and the magic tool itself is also very fragile. Therefore, although the disciples in the refining region can use it, the space that a little Ruyi Ring can hold is only about four feet square, and once opened, it can only be used at most Four months later, when the time limit is up, the Holy Material Array in the Little Ruyi Ring will almost be on the verge of collapse, and then it will be turned into a pile of waste. "
He smiled and said: "After all, it's missing. That's all. Younger Martial Brother, I've told you what to say. It's here. Do you still want to buy it?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment. He nodded and said, "Buy one."
Ji Liangcai nodded, handed him one of the iron gray rings, put away the other rings, and smiled at Shen Shi: "Chenghui, fifteen Lingjing."
Shen Shi frowned and said, "So expensive?"
Ji Liangcai admitted frankly and said, "Yes, it's more expensive than Liuyun City outside, but..." He smiled and said, "Look, who wants to sell these things only in the Qitang shop on the Green Fish Island?"
Shen Shi smiles bitterly, nods and takes out Lingjing from his arms.
※※※
Twenty three new Holy Crystals went out again in a flash. They were replaced by an inconspicuous ring on the finger of his left hand. Shen Shi comforted himself with the money. If he was lucky enough to go to the Devil Island, he could earn it back in a day. He felt better just thinking about it.
After leaving the shop of the Tool Hall, Shen Shi found a remote roadside in the Green Fish Collection, concentrated on using some of his spiritual power, and tried to touch the little Ruyi Ring in his hand. Indeed, inspired by the spiritual power, the little Ruyi Ring suddenly opened a space to reveal in his mind. As Ji Liangcai said, it was a small space about four feet square. The surrounding area was gray, but generally stable.
Shen Shi nodded and took back the Holy Power. Although the four foot square space of this small Ruyi Ring is not very big, it can't be compared with the famous treasure like Xumi bracelet and Qiankun bag that can be used in Ningyuan, but it is still enough for him now. It is a pity that a small Ruyi Ring can only be used for four months.
After buying the small Ruyi Ring, Lingjing spent most of the time. He stopped at the demon island and couldn't go there. Shen Shi fell into a situation of some boredom and idleness for a while. Although he was a little concerned about Ganze and others being trapped in the demon island, including the dazzling sword in the sky on the way back last night, it seems that no one knows about the follow-up of that matter until now, or someone has spread it, and he doesn't know what happened, We can only wait.
After wandering around here for a while, he wandered around at random, but found himself unconsciously walking in the direction of Hongbeng Village.
Since he decided to go to the demon island to catch demons, he has not come to the Red Beng Village for some time. However, he has always had a good impression of this small demon village that secretly coexists with the human race. In particular, he has become a good friend with the sea star girl in the village for three years.
I haven't seen you for many days. Go and have a look.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi quickened his pace and walked towards Hongbeng Village.
I haven't been here for a while, but Hongbeng Village still looks the same as what he remembered. It is still a quiet village located on the sea. If all the villagers were not wearing strange red clam shells, it would be no different from an ordinary small fishing village of the human race.
Because he doesn't come here to peel shrimp recently, starfish will not wait for him at the entrance of the village, so Shen Shi walks into the village. The road in the village is more lively. The people of the Red Beng people who walk in and out of the village see it from time to time. Many of them know Shen Shi, who has often come here to peel shrimp for three years, and they greet him with a smile. Shen Shi also greets him all the way, but as he walks, he gradually realizes that there is something wrong. Most of the people of the Red Beng people he sees on the road in the village are female surnames.
Shen Shi pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes to the side near the sea. As expected, he found that there were few boats left by the sand bank of the village where many boats often docked.
"Is it time to go fishing again today?"
Shen Shi was shocked for a moment. These Yuezi had been busy with the demon island, and he hardly walked around Hongbeng Village. He only remembered that when he was leaving a few days ago, the starfish told him that there were many fewer fish in the sea around Qingyu Island, which made these people of Hongbeng very distressed. They had to increase the number of fishing trips to the sea.
It seems that even after these days, there is still no sign of easing.
Shen Shi walked all the way to Hongbeng Village. He was familiar with the village. When he came here, of course, he still wanted to meet Haixing. She was the granddaughter of the village head of Hongbeng Village. She lived behind the altar in the village and was the largest house in Hongbeng Village.
Walking along the road, Shen Shi soon saw the altar in Hongbeng Village, and of course also saw the statue of the pig headed dragon on the altar. It was just different from the quiet of Pingyue. Today, there was a big table in front of the altar, with many offerings on it, which seemed to be preparing for a sacrifice.
Several women of the red clam race are busy preparing on the altar. Shen Shi walks up to see the starfish in it and hurriedly greets them.
Hearing Shen Shi's call, Haixing looked up. First, he was stunned. Then, a smile of joy appeared on his face. He said a word to an aunt beside him. The aunt smiled and nodded. Haixing put down his work and walked to Shen Shi quickly.
"Why are you free today?" As soon as he came to the front, the starfish smiled.
Shen Shi scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I was too busy a few days ago. I was free today, so I wanted to come and see you."
Starfish looked at him, smiled sweetly, and said, "You have a wolf heart. You haven't forgotten my friend."
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said tentatively, "What you said is not 'conscience'?"
The starfish waved his hand and said, "Almost, that's what it means."
Shen Shi whispered: "It's a lot different..."
Starfish led him to the side. Shen Shi looked back at the altar and said, "What are you doing over there?"
The starfish said, "Oh, it's preparing for the sacrifice of the sea god. When my grandfather and his family come back from fishing tomorrow, they will worship the sea god."
Shen Shi was shocked and said, "I won't come back until tomorrow. Where are they going to fish?"
For the first time, the young and beautiful starfish's face showed a trace of worry, sighed, and said: "Grandpa, they went to the far sea to fish. The distance is too far, and they must be separated by days to return."
Shen Shi frowned. As far as he knew, for many years, the red mussels have almost always fished for a living, and the fishing areas are basically around the Black Fish Island, which is not far away. It can be returned in a day. Now, listening to the words of starfish, it is clear that they have been forced to far away to catch fish. This situation is obviously not right.
Looking back on the signs he had when he left, Shen Shi couldn't help worrying. He said, "This is not right. I think it's better to tell the sect about it."
The starfish nodded and said, "My grandpa has already told Elder Martial Brother Wang Gen on the island that he went to the sea to check in person two days ago. But according to my grandpa, Elder Martial Brother Wang Gen did not find out the reason. It was just that suddenly the fish population in the surrounding sea area was reduced, and the sea water was cold and clear. My grandpa said that it might be because the sea god was angry, so he prepared to make a sea god sacrifice."
Shen Shi was silent. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Starfish looked at him, but smiled: "So it's still right for you to leave the village. Otherwise, even if you want to peel shrimp now, we don't have any ghost faced shrimp to kill for you."
Shen Shi smiles and nods.
The two men talked for a while on the road at the entrance of the village. Seeing the people coming and going in the village, many of them went to the Altar of the Sea God to help, Shen Shi did not delay the starfish any more. He said goodbye. Starfish didn't look very heavy. I don't know if it was because he was young and cheerful. After saying goodbye to Shen Shi, he jumped all the way to the altar.
Shen Shi looks at her back and goes away. When he turns to leave, he glances over the altar and sees the tall statue of the "god of the sea". For a moment, he suddenly feels that the statue, also known as the pig headed dragon, is really ferocious.
