Chapter 50: Red Fire Mourning Feather
Will Lu Shao die?
"Uncle Chen, are you sure this is the name?"
"I can't be wrong if I remember it, unless someone else knows it wrong and the name they told me is also wrong. What's wrong, Ah Shui, you don't know it, right?"
"I know him, but he and I don't have a very good relationship. We have a little gap."
Liang Qu returned home with a lot on his mind.
There are only three martial arts schools in the town, and martial artists are a rare sight, so there definitely aren't that many of them to have the same name.
Mr. Lu is not as responsible as Hu Qi. He did nothing about the conflict a few days ago, which highlights his dereliction of duty.
But as a "replacement", there was nothing I could do to him, and he just died like that.
Did he die two days ago and was found today, or did he die today?
Liang Qu thought about this problem.
Lu Shaohui had not appeared in the martial arts gym for nearly two days. He left after the conflict broke out that day. After the incident, Hu Qi couldn't find him even after he tried to find him.
No, it’s still early, we have to go and take a look.
Thinking that the matter might be related to him, Liang Qu went to Uncle Chen's house to borrow a wooden barrel, wrapped the giant demon feather in wet linen, stuffed it into the barrel filled with water, and hurried to Pingyang Town.
Whether it was for the dinner party in the evening or to see his senior brothers about the use of the big demon feather, he had to go to the town today.
The matter was urgent. Liang Qu walked the sixteen miles in just two and a half minutes. He pricked up his ears on the street.
"I heard that he was a martial arts master, but he died in a dilapidated temple. How horrible."
"That's not right. I heard that he is just a warrior. But after breaking through the three levels, he will become a martial artist."
"It's definitely not an ordinary person. He died so tragically, with his entire internal organs hollowed out. The coroner said he might have been eaten by a monster. It's definitely not a human."
"Monster, no way, then we are in trouble. Will it eat us?"
"You're just skin and bones, even monsters find you annoying."
Every teahouse and foot shop was talking about Lu Shaohui’s death.
Liang Qu stopped a tea doctor and said, "Hey, man, I want to ask you, in which dilapidated temple did the Master Lu Wu you mentioned die? Can you point me in the right direction?"
The tea master asked with a smile: "Would you like a cup of tea, sir?"
"No need for tea, I'm in a hurry." Liang Qu handed over five cents.
"Thank you very much." Dr. Cha put the bag into his saddlebag with a smile, and took Liang Qu to the street, pointing to the distance, "Look over there, do you see the Huang's cloth shop?"
"Ah."
"Take the path behind Huang's cloth shop. After about two miles, you will see a wide dirt road. That is the bluestone road in front of the temple. It is what is left after all the bluestone slabs were removed. Just follow the road for a quarter of an hour and you will arrive."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Come for tea often when you're free."
Liang Qu did not go to the dilapidated temple. Instead, he turned and went to his third senior brother's shop. Senior brother Lu's blacksmith shop was just on the way to Huang's cloth shop, so he could go and ask the big demon what the feather was used for.
"Senior Brother Lu!"
"Junior Brother Liang? Why are you here now? You didn't change your mind and want to change the style of the gun head, did you?"
"No, I found something while fishing last night. It was quite hot, so I wanted to ask Senior Brother Lu to help me figure out what it was."
"Hot?"
Lu Gang saw the linen in Liang Qu's hand and stood up from the stove: "Come on, follow me into the house."
Quiet room.
Lu Gang closed the door and took the sackcloth bag from Liang Qu. When his palm could still feel the burning sensation through the wet sackcloth, he looked surprised and said, "It's really hot."
"hey-hey."
Liang Qu helped to lift the sackcloth. The heat emitted by the golden-red feathers distorted the air. Lu Gang's pupils shrank slightly: "Red Fire Mourning Feather?"
"Do you know Senior Brother Lu?"
Lu Gang subconsciously turned around, and after seeing the door closed, he whispered, "Where did you get this?"
Liang Qu recounted the fight between the two monsters the night before and the discovery of Bird Feather the next day, except that he changed the discovery by the two monsters to one by himself while fishing.
"Brother Liang, I don't know how to describe your luck." Lu Gang sighed, "Do you know where this red bird mourning feather came from?"
"how did it get here?"
“I can’t determine what kind of monster the big monster in the water is, but the giant flaming bird you mentioned is definitely the Red Fire Bird.
The red firebird has extremely tenacious vitality. Whenever it encounters deadly danger, it will inject its entire body's life essence into part of its feathers and scatter them in all directions to escape.
Among those feathers, there will be one with the most life essence, which is the Red Fire Gold Feather. It will use this feather to complete its rebirth, similar to a gecko cutting off its tail, but it cuts off its entire body. "
"What about mine?" Liang Qu looked expectant.
Lu Gang laughed: "Of course it can't be the golden feather of Nirvana, otherwise you and I can't get close to this feather."
"Ok."
"Brother Liang, don't be ungrateful. The Red Firebird can only scatter a dozen or twenty rays at a time. Given its size, even if it's not the biggest one, it's still a pretty amazing amount of life essence."
“What can it be used for?”
“It can help with cultivation, but I think it will be difficult for you to absorb the energy inside. Life essences with fire attributes are quite violent. Unless you are now at the level of a martial artist who has broken through the three levels, I don’t recommend you to try.
Furthermore, if the energy in the feather is not replenished, it will be lost very quickly, so I suggest that its life energy be channeled out all at once and used as charcoal to forge weapons. I am 80% sure that I can add spirituality to the weapons."
Spiritual weapons?
This was the first time Liang Qu heard this word.
"Spiritual weapons are extremely rare, because materials like the Red Fire Mourning Feather are difficult to obtain. An adult Red Fire Bird must be at least a Zhen Xiang Realm warrior to go out, and it is not certain that it can be caught, because the Red Fire Bird can fly, and it usually takes two or three Zhen Xiang Realm warriors to surround and capture it.
The most important feature of spiritual weapons is that they can self-repair and grow. As long as there are materials of the same origin around them, they can absorb them to repair themselves. A crack the size of a fingernail can heal in ten days.
No matter how good the materials used to make weapons are, they are bound to wear out after being used for a long time. Most of the warriors who will let you fight with their weapons are at the same level, and the weapons they use will not be bad either. It is easy for cracks to appear when they collide with each other.
Your fourth senior brother has traded with me for countless swords, and he was always stingy when paying."
Lu Gang, who usually speaks steadily, rarely has a fluctuating tone.
"Then use it to make my spear."
Liang Qu made a prompt decision. It was difficult for him to hold this thing with his bare hands, let alone absorb the energy inside. It would be better to strike while the iron is hot than to keep it and waste it.
It was a lucky find in the first place, so I can't ask for too much. It's worth exchanging it for a spiritual weapon.
"Okay, I'll get ready as soon as possible. Junior Brother Liang, please take a seat first."
"No, I have something else to do. I'll be back soon."
"also."
"By the way, Mr. Lu, do you know Senior Brother Lu Gang?"
"Lu Shaohui? I have some impression of him. Is he from our martial arts school? He is a martial artist of the second level, right?"
Lu Gang thought about it. He made a living by being a blacksmith and basically didn't need to work in a martial arts school to earn money, so he didn't know much about it and had a vague impression.
"Yes, but since Senior Brother Lu is not familiar with it, forget it."
"What happened?"
"he died."
