Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 88: Yin-Yang Harmony Coffin
Du Qixi felt a little strange when he saw Xiao Tanzhi's surprised expression.
As the young master of Zijin City, he and Xiao Tanzhi, who is also the young master of Tianyi Valley, have known each other since childhood.
Du Qixi thought he knew Xiao Tanzhi's personality very well: calm, taciturn, focused... So, over the years, Du Qixi had only seen an expression of surprise on Xiao Tanzhi's face a few times.
Today, in just a short time, Xiao Tanzhi's facial expressions have become more varied than the number of times his facial expression changed in a month before.
"Little Blanket, I'm not an expert in casting. Is there something wrong with Tang Zheng's formation pattern?" Du Qi Xi asked in a low voice.
Xiao Tanzhi's eyes were fixed on the front, where, on Tang Zheng's wolf smoke beacon furnace, the array pattern formed by the molten purple gold became clearer and clearer under the depiction of the White Phoenix Flame.
Xiao Tanzhi did not respond to Du Qixi's words at all. He just bit his lips and kept muttering to himself. No one could hear what he was mumbling.
Seeing this, Du Qixi knew that Xiao Tanzhi was not ignoring him on purpose, but there must be something magical in Tang Zheng's formation pattern that made Xiao Tanzhi completely immersed in it.
However, what puzzled Du Qixi was that he had only seen Xiao Tanzhi show such an expression when he was researching difficult and complicated medical problems. When did Xiao Tanzhi become so absorbed in the art of casting?
The more Du Qi Xi couldn't figure it out, the more curious he became. However, among the three people present, one was concentrating on casting and naturally could not be disturbed. The other one was also watching intently. It was estimated that even if a water and land Taoist ceremony was held next to his ear, he would not pay attention to the loud gongs and drums. So he was the only one left, and he felt uncomfortable as if he was being pawed by a cat. He just hoped that Tang Zheng's casting would succeed soon so that he could answer his questions and solve his doubts.
It is not known whether it was Du Qixi's expectations that really played a significant role, or whether Tang Zheng had already practiced this original method of engraving arrays when he was creating the special armor for the butterfly defense of the demon clan's Far North Swordfish, and he became proficient in it. In short, this time, Tang Zheng carved the array pattern in one go and it was extremely smooth.
It took less than an incense stick of time for the White Phoenix Flame to completely carve out the purple gold melt.
Looking at the array pattern on the casting furnace, Du Qi Xi felt very unfamiliar. He thought he had seen a lot of casting array patterns, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange array pattern.
However, what made Ah feel even more strange was that although he dared to guarantee that he had never seen such a peculiar array pattern, this array pattern gave him a familiar feeling.
"Hey, this formation is interesting..." Du Qixi looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but laughed softly.
After the formation pattern was carved, Tang Zheng pointed in the distance, and the Taiyin Xuancui Coffin that had been placed aside quietly floated up. Tang Zheng drew a mysterious trajectory with his hands like a Tai Chi fish. The Taiyin Xuancui Coffin and the carved purple gold formation pattern rotated and intersected in the air, quietly merging.
Unlike most of the top-quality star weapons refined by the master of casting, Chu Cheng's would cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth, and even cause a wave of demonic unrest just like Tang Zheng did before.
This time, the transformation of the Taiyin Xuansui Coffin was ultimately done silently. When the white phoenix in Tang Zheng's furnace gradually disappeared, the fire went out, and the casting was completed, Du Qixi and Xiao Tanzhi suddenly felt a sense of being left wanting more.
And the Taiyin Xuancui Coffin just lay there quietly. If it weren't for the coffin body that was originally transparent with a frosty white chill, now faintly showing a faint purple-gold pattern hidden inside, it would seem as if the casting had never existed at all.
Tang Zheng stroked the coffin, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he let out a long breath.
This casting, which concerned the life and death of Xu Qingyan, could not help but feel a little nervous even for Tang Zheng, who was always heartless and seemed to be never under pressure. It was not until now, when the casting was successful, that he finally relaxed.
Seeing that Tang Zheng had finished casting, Xiao Tanzhi could not help but walk forward quickly, his eyes still fixed on the Taiyin Xuancui Coffin. He stretched out his hand and stroked along the restrained and natural purple-gold lines, a strange look in his eyes.
Du Qixi also followed. Unlike Xiao Tanzhi, as the young master of the Purple Gold City, the first thing he subconsciously paid attention to was the quality of the remodeled Taiyin Xuansui Coffin.
Looking at the array patterns in the coffin, which seemed to have spontaneously appeared in the stone before the Taiyin Xuancui Stone was forged, Du Qixi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Secretly engraved?! This..."
The way Du Qixi looked at Tang Zheng had completely changed into an expression of looking at a monster.
As the young master of Purple Gold City, he knew very well that Dark Ke had always been a difficult problem that Bailian Workshop, Yaoshan Tribe and Wuyou Island, the three forces with top craftsmen, had always wanted to solve. Unfortunately, until now, no one had heard of anyone being able to solve this problem.
However, today, right under Du Qixi's own nose, it was accomplished by Tang Zheng, a guy in his early twenties.
In his eyes, this skill was enough to make Tang Zheng rich enough to rival a country and famous throughout the continent. He couldn't help but be shocked.
With the skill of dark carving as a foundation, Du Qixi was not so concerned about the array pattern that he was extremely curious about before. However, seeing Xiao Tanzhi's still focused expression, he couldn't help but ask: "What is so wonderful about this array pattern?"
Xiao Tanzhi had just woken up from his concentration when he heard Du Qixi's question and said, "This array pattern is alive."
"Alive?" Du Qixi looked at the pattern carefully again, but still did not see any signs of life.
Moreover, a living array? It sounds like a fantasy!
Xiao Tanzhi shook his head: "Different angles, different ways of thinking, you always look at things from the perspective of a star weapon, but I look at things from the perspective of medicine...Aren't you familiar with this array pattern?"
"It's very familiar, but I've never seen this kind of array pattern, so I'm surprised here..." Du Qixi touched his chin and looked at it again: "From a medical perspective, this is... a star vein, a life palace?! This array pattern is exactly the veins of a warrior's whole body. If it is filled with bones and flesh, it will be a living person!"
Du Qi Xi suddenly realized, no wonder Xiao Tanzhi said that this formation pattern was alive.
But what was Tang Zheng's intention in carving such a strange array pattern on the coffin? The Palace of Life, one palace with two stars, the balance of the sun and the moon...
Du Qi Xi always felt that he was about to grasp an answer in his mind, but there was always a last-minute obstacle, so he had to look up at the creator of this formation.
Tang Zheng must have the answer.
"Haha, actually this isn't my original creation. In my hometown, a long, long time ago, those masters who liked to create began to study the bodies, structures and functional principles of monsters. They created many miracles through imitation and transformation. For example, they studied the compound eyes of mosquitoes and flies and made lenses. They studied the wings of birds and made flying machines. They used the sound waves of bats and developed tools that can detect terrain and enemies... This skill is called bionics." Tang Zheng explained with a smile as he looked at the burning eyes of Xiao Tanzhi and Du Qixi.
After listening to Tang Zheng's words, Xiao Tanzhi nodded and said, "Because you know your own body best, you created a bionic version of yourself? And then, through your own years of experience in balancing the Sun and Moon in the First Life Palace, you finally balanced the balance of the ultimate properties of the main star after the transformation of the Taiyin Xuancui Coffin?"
Du Qixi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Sure enough, you dare to think and do it. Bionics of yourself is interesting... But speaking of it, the masters in your hometown seem to be some wonderful people. I don't quite understand what the compound eyes and lenses of mosquitoes and flies are, but why study birds and bats? Warriors can fly with star power, and they can also use star power to detect terrain and enemies... They are just for fun like me?"
Hearing Du Qixi's words, Tang Zheng's face twitched. He wanted to slap him a few times and then yell, "You think you are so great about knowing star power? You look down on tiny humans. I'll suddenly drop a nuclear bomb on you to try and see if a warrior can use star power to create a mushroom cloud."
However, Tang Zheng just kept these complaints to himself.
After all, Du Qi Xi was a good man who lent him such an expensive coffin for free, and he was so generous that he let Tang Zheng do whatever he wanted. There was nothing wrong with him being a little foul-mouthed.
"Your idea is very interesting. This is the first time I've seen someone perfectly integrate medicine and casting. However... this Taiyin Xuansui coffin has almost the same perfect star vein array pattern as yours, but I still can't feel any aura of other main stars except the ultimate attributes of the Taiyin main star. Could it be that this coffin is still a semi-finished product?" Xiao Tanzhi ignored Du Qixi's habitual detour and continued to ask Tang Zheng .
"Well, it is indeed a semi-finished product. This coffin needs me to be added to it, to be a perfect dual-main star ultimate star weapon." While Tang Zheng was speaking, he carried the modified Taiyin Xuansui coffin on his back.
Then, Tang Zheng's star power was slowly injected into the coffin behind him. The purple-gold array pattern inside the translucent coffin gradually lit up, and the star power began to flow in the array pattern, gradually breaking through the first life palace outlined by the array pattern. The star power gathered in it, and finally transformed into two stars, slowly circling. The scene was exactly the same as the situation in the Taihao Wheel constellation behind Tang Zheng.
“With the body as the source and the coffin as the tool, this coffin is no longer a Taiyin Xuansui coffin, but a Yin-Yang Harmony coffin. Xu Qingyan, you will have nothing to worry about for the time being…” Xiao Tanzhi couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
"Then what are you waiting for? I can't wait to see the great scene where you put the characters in your story into it and turn yourself into the second Murong Zhuifeng..." Du Qi Xi said with a smile.
