#750 - At least it's environmentally friendly
“This… how about we think of a solution first?” Cai Wuyang said, “Although I can’t find all the strange objects within the Lin Tian Prefecture, I can find the leading ones.
“As long as we can persuade those few to return, the remaining people, having lost their organization, will become a disorganized mess, and naturally won’t be able to stir up any more trouble.”
Kui then also spoke, “I heard you’ve been collecting flying swords. I recently obtained information about a pair of flying swords, and they are a very rare set of mother-and-child flying swords. If you can help me resolve this matter, I’ll go find that pair of mother-and-child flying swords for you.
“In addition, I can also give you a batch of military equipment and armor, about twenty thousand pieces, which can be used with just a little polishing.”
“What would I do with military equipment and armor? I’m not rebelling.” Lu Jing said, “But since you’ve offered, I can help with this matter, as a thank you for the sword case you gave me last time. However, I have a question…”
“You want to ask me why I’m intervening in this matter?” Kui didn’t hide anything, “I don’t care about other strange objects, but there is indeed one strange object… whose safety I care about a lot, and I don’t want her to encounter any danger.”
“Uh, that’s not what I wanted to ask…” Lu Jing scratched his head.
“Then what is it?”
“Outside Lingyang County, you once told me that wasn’t our first meeting, that we had met once before. But because of that strange object, I can’t remember it now. I want to know when that happened?”
“About a year and a half ago,” Kui said upon hearing this.
“A year and a half ago, we met even before I entered the academy?”
Kui nodded, “I was handling a case at the time, and you helped me. We solved a strange object together, and then I saw that you were skilled and calm and collected in handling matters, so I gave you a wooden token and sent you to Hengji Coffin Shop.”
“Regret what?”
“You, like me, were introduced to the Department of Hidden Power by someone, and you’re not much older than me.”
“I’m not the same as you. I had no choice. My father was an important criminal of the court and was beheaded. My mother and sister also died. If I hadn’t had outstanding secret power talent at the time and met Guo Shaojian, I would have been dead.”
Kui’s tone was very calm, but the words she spoke didn’t seem as calm as her tone.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ask about your sad past.” Lu Jing quickly apologized.
“It’s okay, it’s been a long time anyway,” Kui said, “Let’s focus on the matter at hand.”
“Oh, okay.”
After the two finished talking, Cai Wuyang continued to Lu Jing.
“Lili and I originally wanted to ask you for help, but you never showed up and didn’t reply to our messages. At this time, Master Kui approached us. After learning that we were looking for you, she arranged for you to come here on our behalf. Well… I don’t have any flying swords or weapons and armor on hand.
“How about this, if you can help us solve this trouble, I can give you a piece of clothing.”
“Clothing?”
“Yes, that piece of clothing was given to me by a strange object who came to me for medical treatment. She sewed it with her own hair.”
“That… I think I’ll pass.”
Wearing someone else’s hair on your body was really too strange.
But then Cai Wuyang continued, “That piece of clothing looks the same as ordinary clothing, and the feeling of wearing it is the same. The only difference is that the sleeves are very large and can hold a lot of things.
“I once tried putting forty pounds of white sugar in it, but I didn’t feel any weight at all, and I could easily lift my hand with my strength. And that weight is obviously not the limit of this piece of clothing.
“It’s just that I don’t go out on weekdays, and Wang Momo can quickly buy me anything I want, so this clothing isn’t very useful to me. I’ll just give it to Grandmaster Lu for your use.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jing agreed this time very readily.
It’s just clothing woven from hair, what’s so strange about it? Wearing it on your body is fine, at least it’s quite environmentally friendly and all-natural.
It can’t be blamed on Lu Jing for not having any principles.
You should know that this thing is a space magic tool that he has been thinking about for a long time, one of the essential equipment for the protagonist in any cultivation novel.
Unfortunately, the cultivation in this world is quite different from the kind of cultivation Lu Jing understood in his previous life. Lu Jing hasn’t seen anyone with similar equipment. He discussed the idea of a storage ring with Chi, and the latter told him that it was impossible to make.
As for strange objects, Lu Jing did find one that could be filled infinitely.
But that was also a real bottomless pit, which could only be filled but not taken out. No matter how much you put in, it was all for nothing, which was far from the storage magic tool Lu Jing dreamed of.
It wasn’t until he heard Cai Wuyang mention this piece of clothing today that his eyes lit up again.
And this clothing came just in time.
He had previously learned from Gu Zhongling to hide the flying swords in his sleeves, which was indeed very convenient to use, but when the number of flying swords increased to six, Lu Jing discovered something.
That is, the sleeves can no longer fit.
Although flying swords are smaller than ordinary swords, they are not infinitely small. Even if they can be stuffed into the sleeves, they still take up a certain amount of space.
However, Lu Jing is probably the only person among so many sword cultivators throughout history who has encountered this kind of thing.
He now has eight flying swords, and the last two can only be placed in the sword case Kui gave him.
And Lu Jing doesn’t know where else to put them. He can’t hang them all over his body, which would be inconvenient for eating and sleeping, and it wouldn’t be able to play the role of a sneak attack and ambushing someone.
But if he had this piece of clothing that Cai Wuyang gave him, Lu Jing wouldn’t have to worry about this kind of thing anymore.
So he finally became active, “Where are those guys?”
“Wo Wo will take you there.”
Cai Wuyang gently clapped his hands twice, and Lu Jing saw a majestic rooster crawling out of the grass.
However, that rooster was a bit small, only the size of two finger joints, and it was made of sugar.
Fortunately, Lu Jing was already used to it, reached out and let the rooster jump onto his palm, and then said, “Let’s go, let’s set off now.”
