Chapter 85: Deity

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Senior brother, you are joking. At this point in time, how can I go to Demon Island and come back again?"
Ji Liangcai stood behind the counter and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I don't know the younger brother will come back, but is there any good things to sell?"
Shen Shi said, "Don't be concealed, I actually came here this time to buy a small magical artifact that contains things, well," he thought for a while, and added, "The kind that can be used in the refining state."
"Huh?" Ji Liangcai gave him a surprised look, then nodded, and took Shen Shi to a counter next to him. There were rows of magic weapons of different shapes, different sizes and different shapes. The same, rings, bracelets, pockets, and even jade medals, runes, you can see everything at a glance.
Ji Liangcai glanced over these artifacts, but then walked to the edge of the counter, and from the row of artifacts placed at the corner, he took out a few rings that looked ordinary and bleak and dull. Before Shen Shi's eyes, he said, "Junior, the artifacts that receive objects usually require the Taoism of the Ning Yuan realm to be used normally, so we don’t need to look at the others. As for the Qi refining realm you mentioned before, it can be used. There are only these few'little wishful precepts' for receiving objects."
Shen Shi took a bit of curiosity, took these rings one by one in his hand and looked at it carefully. At the same time, Ji Liangcai’s voice came from his ear, saying: "Brother, this little wishful ring is specially made for those senior brothers in this door. The island’s Qi-refining realm disciples made it to order, and the function is almost the same as the ordinary artifacts. They also need to be stimulated by their own spiritual power, which is very convenient."
Shen Shi nodded. Long ago in the first floor of Xilucheng, Yinzhou, he had seen something similar. There was a market for casual cultivators. Many people would carry one with them, but as far as he knew, it was complete. Complete material-containing artifacts really require the Taoism of the Ning Yuan realm to be used normally, and the ones in front of them called Xiao Ruyi Jie should have some shortcomings.
Sure enough, Ji Liangcai quickly went on and said, "However, this little wishful ring is different from those artifacts that can only be used in the Ning Yuan realm. It is specially made for the meager Taoism of disciples in the Qi Refining realm, so it is making spiritual materials. The one I picked was a low-level spiritual material, the magic array inside was incomplete, and the magic weapon itself was also very fragile. Therefore, although the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm can use it, the space that a small Ruyi Ring can hold is almost four feet square. And once it is turned on, it can only be used for a maximum of four months. After the time limit is reached, the spiritual material magic circle in this little wishful ring is almost on the verge of collapse, and it will turn into a pile of waste."
He smiled, and said: "After all, it is something that is missing. It can only be so, Junior Brother, I have told you everything that should be said. The things are here. Do you still want to buy it?"
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 the other rings away, and smiled and said to Shen Shi: "Chenghui, fifteen spirit crystals."
Shen Shi frowned and said, "So expensive?"
Ji Liangcai admitted frankly, and said: "Yes, it's more expensive than Floating Cloud City outside, but..." He smiled and said, "Look, who made this Herring Island only a store like Qitang? Sell ​​these things."
Shen Shi smiled bitterly, nodded and took out the spirit crystal from his arms.
※※※
Twenty-three spirit crystals that were freshly bought, and most of them went out in a blink of an eye. What they got back was an inconspicuous ring worn on the finger of his left hand. Shen Shi comforted himself with this money in his heart, as long as he is lucky to go to Demon Island I can earn it back in one day, and I feel better after thinking about it this way.
Leaving the Qitang shop, Shen Shi found a remote roadside in the herring collection, concentrating on moving a bit of inner spiritual power, tentatively touching the small Ruyi ring in his hand, and indeed inspired by spiritual power, This little Ruyi Jie suddenly opened up a space and revealed it in his mind. Just as Ji Liangcai said, it was a small space about four feet square, surrounded by gray clouds, but it was generally stable.
Shen Shi nodded and retracted his spiritual power. Although the small Ruyi Ring's four-foot square space is not very large, it can't be compared with famous treasures such as Xumi bracelets and Qiankun bags that can be used behind the Ning Yuan realm. , But it is enough for him right now. Just a small wishful ring can only be used for four months, which is a bit regrettable.
After buying a small Ruyi ring, Lingjing spent more than half of it, and the Demon Island was suspended again and couldn’t go. Shen Shi fell into a somewhat boring situation for a while, although he was also a little concerned about Gan Ze and the others in the Demon Island. , Including the dazzling sword glow in the sky that he saw on the way back last night, but it seems that the follow-up of that matter has not been known until now, or that it was spread, he didn't know how to get it, and could only wait.
Wandering here for a while, he wandered around, only to find that he unknowingly walked in the direction towards Hongcang Village.
Since he made up his mind to go to the Demon Island for a demon hunting mission, he hasn’t been to this Red Clam Village for a while, but he has always had a good impression of this little demon village that coexists secretly with the human race, especially In the past three years, she has become good friends with the starfish girl in the village.
I haven't seen it for many days, so let's check it out.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Hongbang Village.
I haven’t been here for a while, but the Red Clam Village still looks exactly like the scene in his memory. It’s still a quiet little village by the sea. If it weren’t for the strange red clam shells in the village, it’s almost ordinary There is no difference in the small fishing village of the human race.
Because he didn't come here to peel shrimps recently, the starfish would naturally not wait for him at the entrance of the village, so Shen Shi also strolled into the village. The roads in the village are a bit more lively. People from the Red Clam people walking around see from time to time. Many of them know Shen Shi, who has been here to peel shrimps for three years. They all smiled and greeted him. Shen Shi also greeted him all the way, but As he walked, he gradually noticed something wrong. Most of the Red Clam people he saw on the road in this village were women.
After sinking for a while, Chen Shi turned his eyes to the side near the sea, and he realized that by the sand bank of the village where many boats were often docked, there were very few boats left at this moment.
"Did you go fishing again today?"
Shen Shi was stunned. He has been busy with Demon Island these days and has hardly moved around Hongcang Village. He just remembers that when he left a few days ago, Haixing told him that there were few fish in the waters around Qingyu Island. Many people of the Red Clam tribe are very distressed and have to increase the number of fishing trips.
It seems that even after these days, this situation still does not seem to be alleviated.
Shen Shi walked all the way, facing Hongbang Village, he was familiar with the road. When he came here, of course, he still wanted to meet the starfish. She was the granddaughter of the Hongbang Village Chief and lived behind the altar in the village. It is the largest house in Hongbang Village.
Walking along the road, Shen Shi quickly saw the altar in Hongbang Village. Of course, he also saw the statue of the pig's head dragon on the altar. It was just different from the quietness of the day. Today, a large altar was placed in front of the altar. The table, there are actually a lot of sacrifices on the table, it seems to be preparing for a sacrifice.
Several red clam women were busy preparing on the altar. Shen Shi approached and saw the starfish in it, and hurriedly greeted.
Hearing Shen Shi's yelling, Haixing looked up, startled at first, and then there was a smile of joy on her face. She said something to an aunt next to her, and the aunt smiled and nodded, and Haixing put down her work. , Quickly walked towards Shen Shi.
"Why are you free to come over today?" Starfish grinned as soon as he came to the front.
Shen Shi scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I was too busy the other day. I just want to come over and see you when I have time today."
Haixing glanced at him, smiled sweetly, and said, "You have a wolf heart, and I haven't forgotten my friend."
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and tentatively said: "What you said is not'conscience'?"
Starfish waved his hand and said, "Almost, that's what it means."
Shen Shi whispered: "The meaning is much worse..."
Haixing took him to the side, and Shen Shi looked back at the altar and said, "What are you doing over there?"
Hai Xing said, "Oh, I am preparing for the Sea God's sacrifice. When my grandpa and the others return from fishing tomorrow, they will sacrifice to the Sea God."
Shen Shi was taken aback and said, "I won't be back tomorrow. Where did they go fishing?"
Starfish's youthful and charming face showed a trace of worry for the first time. He sighed and said, "Grandpa and the others have gone fishing far away. The journey is too far, and it must be returned the next day."
Shen Shi frowned. As far as he knew, for many years, the red clam family had almost been fishing for a living, and the fishing waters were basically in the waters around Herring Island, and they would not be too far away at all. Enough to pay back. Nowadays, listening to the words of the starfish, it is clear that he has been forced to the far sea to catch the fish. This situation is obviously very wrong.
Thinking back about the signs that he had when he left, Shen Shi couldn't help but become a little worried, and said: "This is something wrong, I think it's best to talk to Zongmenli."
Haixing nodded and said: "My grandfather has already spoken to Brother Wang Gen on this island, and he personally went to the sea to check it two days ago, but after listening to my grandfather, Brother Wang Gen did not find out why. Suddenly, the fish schools in the surrounding waters decreased a lot, and the sea was deserted. Grandpa said that this might be because of the sea god’s anger, so he prepared to do a sea sacrifice."
Shen Shi did not know what to say for a while. Haixing glanced at him, but smiled and said, "So, you are still right to leave the village. Otherwise, even if you want to peel shrimps, here we are. There is no ghost noodle shrimp to kill you."
Shen Shi smiled and nodded with a smile.
The two spoke for a while on the road to the entrance of the village, watching the people coming and going in the village, many people went to the Seagod Altar to help, Shen Shi no longer delayed the starfish, and left, staring did not feel particularly heavy. I don’t know if it’s because of being young and cheerful. After bidding farewell to Shen Shi, he jumped all the way to the altar.
Shen Shi watched her back go away, and when he turned to leave, he inadvertently scanned the altar and saw the tall "Sea God" statue. For a moment, he suddenly felt that the statue, that is, The appearance of the pig head dragon is indeed a bit ferocious.
