Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 156 1 Favors

Meng Xianyu entered the room cheerfully. She had the chance to pick up equipment, so she had to seize it. Even if she couldn't use it now, it might be useful in the future.

She was not afraid of having too much equipment, but she was confused about the future! She was just lucky now, but who knew if there would be such good things in the future.

Only two people, Guardian Linlang and Wu Na, were left outside the door.

Guardian Linlang was quite cheerful in front of Meng Xianyu. After all, they had some contact before.

In comparison, Guardian Linlang had very little contact with Wu Na.

Wu Na: "Why did Guardian Linlang do that just now?"

Linlang naturally knew what Wu Na meant. He did intend to interrupt their conversation.

Linlang: "The guy inside has a bad temper. But you can rest assured, I have already told Miss Meng everything I can."

Wu Na: "So that's it, Wu Na missed the guardian."

Wu Na was stunned. It seemed that she had overthought. Fortunately, she couldn't help asking, otherwise there would be misunderstanding.

She was willing to stop just now because she was used to having to bow her head when under someone's roof.

In the past, Wu Na was always very cautious. Even if she was targeted or teased, she would just laugh it off. Even if she made a big fuss, she would still be the one who suffered in the end. She would still be isolated and excluded.

She was not the only one who was excluded on the Holy Mountain. It was nice to be a nobody from time to time. Those bored people would always find new prey. The more fiercely the prey resisted, the more those bored people liked to play tricks on them.

They had no interest in Wu Na, a prey that was excluded and teased without any reaction. They would bully her occasionally, but they would not always focus on her.

If she were in the Holy Mountain, Wu Na would choose to mind her own business and just keep her mouth shut.

At this point, Wu Na actually had a bit more temper. Maybe it was because her two masters, relatives, and friends were all around her.

Wu Na is no longer a nobody in the crowd. People care about her now. She also learns to express her true thoughts.

Linlang: “No problem”

Linlang didn't explain too much, he believed Wu Na could understand. After all, he was doing it for the good of both of them.

The two did not talk much, nor did they go to rest.

Linlang found a place to lean against and took out a book to read.

Wu Na stood obediently in the shade under the tree, and she secretly glanced at the small bell in her hand.

The implicit meaning of Guardian Linlang's words was that it was not convenient to say more, and Wu Na was also afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she could only wait for Meng Xianyu to come out and then go back to talk about it.

She is not quite sure how to use this bell bracelet and needs to study it carefully.

But this bracelet seemed to have an inexplicable connection with her. Wu Na could feel its presence.

The two of them just waited quietly for Meng Xianyu.

Meng Xianyu was in a dilemma at this moment.

Meng Xianyu came in and just happened to see the old man sorting out his treasures.

The treasures are placed on huge shelves and arranged in a certain order.

After Wu Na chooses a treasure, other treasures will replace it.

There are already other magical instruments around the location where the treasure is, so you have to carefully select a suitable treasure and put it in the empty space.

If the replacement treasure is not compatible with the surrounding magic tools, they will repel and affect each other. Compatible treasures can nourish each other.

The old man knew that the next person would come in. He didn't intend to drive Wu Na out, but no one could stay here for too long.

Some of the magic tools, weapons, and spiritual tools here have never been seen before, but some of them once had owners, but for some reason they have become ownerless.

Those weapons that have never been seen before do not have so much murderous aura, but those weapons that have been on the battlefield for a long time are different.

Those sharp weapons stained with blood were usually suppressed by spells, making them fall into a dormant state. They would not break the spell until the destined person appeared.

Although some of the sharp weapons were stained with blood, they did not carry such a strong murderous aura. The old man could suppress their restlessness and there was no need for any special treatment.

Murderous aura, evil spirit, bloody energy, etc. are mixed together. The longer you stay here, the greater the impact will be.

Even an old man would not stay in the armory all year round.

He was the caretaker, and he also took in two apprentices.

His two current disciples would occasionally look after the armory for him. The two disciples had been with him for three to five years, but now they could only stay in the armory for ten days or half a month at most.

If it lasts longer, it will backfire.

The old man can guard the armory, but the environment here will affect his promotion.

At his age, advancement requires opportunity.

He recently felt that the bottleneck had loosened a little, and there were signs of a breakthrough, so he found a quiet and secluded place to practice.

Who would have thought that before he could break through the bottleneck, his two disciples actually broke through one after another.

The two disciples have low strength and low cultivation, so it is quite easy for them to break through.

However, after the breakthrough, they need to spend some time consolidating their cultivation, otherwise their foundation will be unstable.

So there was no one guarding inside or outside the armory.

Usually the armory is deserted and few people come.

Two young women came at once today.

The old man was still a little puzzled, but since he was able to come in, it was in accordance with the rules. Otherwise, outsiders could not force their way in.

The old man looked at Meng Xianyu, and Meng Xianyu also felt something was wrong.

Meng Xianyu: "Hello! Is anyone there?"

Meng Xianyu regretted what she said as soon as she finished speaking. What the hell was going on?

Meng Xianyu coughed twice to show her embarrassment and immediately changed her words.

Meng Xianyu: "My surname is Meng, and I would like to ask for a magic weapon today."

The old man didn't say anything because he wanted to see clearly. Then he shook his head. He thought the girl just now was practicing slowly enough, but he could still understand it.

But there really wasn't any spiritual energy fluctuation on Meng Xianyu's body! It was completely impossible to tell where it came from.

The old man had a headache. What should he do?

The old man initially thought that Meng Xianyu had some kind of treasure to conceal her spiritual power, but after a careful look, he found that Meng Xianyu really had no spiritual power. She did have some treasures on her body, but nothing to conceal her spiritual power.

But Meng Xianyu had a special power that seemed to be able to calm the murderous aura around her.

At this moment, the treasures in the armory seemed to have fallen into silence, without the noise and restlessness of the past.

The old man had been guarding the armory all year round, and he noticed the changes first.

These treasures are all abnormally quiet.

Meng Xianyu was just about to take action herself when the old man hurried out to stop her.

Most of the treasures here did not resist Meng Xianyu's approach.

But the old man couldn't just watch Meng Xianyu make her choice at will.

He coughed twice awkwardly, attracting Meng Xianyu's attention.

Meng Xianyu saw a figure standing not far away, but she couldn't see the other person clearly. She could only see a blurry figure.

Meng Xianyu: "Senior, sorry to bother you."

The old man: "Are you together with the girl just now?"

Meng Xianyu: “Yes”

The old man: "Little girl, what's your name? I don't think you are from the island."

Meng Xianyu: "My last name is Meng Xianyu. I was in a shipwreck and was rescued by fishermen. The girl just now is my savior."

Old man: “No wonder.”

When the old man said "no wonder", he meant "no wonder" that girl didn't choose a weapon with more killing power.

Meng Xianyu thought the old man was saying that she didn't look like someone from this island!

Neither of them continued the topic because there was no need to continue.

Meng Xianyu: "Senior, I'm here to ask for a handy magic weapon. I don't know how to choose?"

The old man said: "You have no spiritual power, but you insist on having a magic weapon. Isn't that useless?"

The old man deliberately tested Meng Xianyu, wanting to see what was so special about her.

Meng Xianyu: "But I have spiritual roots!"

Meng Xianyu didn't hesitate. She had come this far, she couldn't just leave without getting any benefits!

Besides, even if she concealed it, the other party might be able to see it.

The old man: "You have never practiced?"

Meng Xianyu: "I am dissatisfied with you, senior. I have lost my memory! But I probably haven't practiced before."

The old man said: "You are a foreigner, but you are trusted by the high priest. You must have done a great deed. Today, I will allow you to take three treasures with you. But after you leave, you must not tell anyone. No matter who asks, you can only say that you got one treasure."

Meng Xianyu: "Okay, thank you, senior"

The old man felt a little guilty. Meng Xianyu was not rejected by these magical weapons and spiritual artifacts, which meant that she could take anything here at will.

Those treasures that showed some resistance did not react much. There was no strong resistance, which meant that if Meng Xianyu chose them, they would not resist.

The old man didn't know what kind of magic power Meng Xianyu had that could make these treasures submit willingly.

Yes, they were surrendering. The old man could feel their changes. Even some spiritual weapons that were too murderous tried to conceal their murderous aura.

A little girl with no spiritual power and unknown origin actually has such ability.

The old man could only pretend to be ignorant and pretend to help.

If anyone found something wrong, the old man could only explain it by saying that Meng Xianyu had no spiritual power.

The old man said: "Time is limited. Tell me what kind of magic weapon you want and I will help you find it."

The old man's face turned red. He felt guilty lying to such a junior.

There is no other way. We can’t just let Meng Xianyu do whatever she wants in the armory.

The old man has feelings for the treasures here. Taking one is fine, but taking more is like cutting his flesh and drinking his blood. Three is the limit he can accept.

He did this not out of selfishness. Even if the high priest came, he couldn't empty the place. As a caretaker, he had his responsibilities and obligations.

At worst, he owes this girl a favor!
