White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World
Chapter 221 Demonic obstacles abound
The ever-lasting lights illuminate the low jade steps on the railings of the withered windows, and the crystal clear jade on the dome reflects the beauty of the palace.
A group of immortals with profound heritage walked slowly into the agarwood revolving door depicting the landscape of the four seasons under the long light and auspicious colors.
As soon as they entered the Nuan Pavilion, the immortals saw the fairy light everywhere, the Taoist charms abounding, and countless rare treasures placed majestically on the sandalwood shelves around them, as if the guests could take them at will if they like.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of golden bells in the distance. Suddenly, hundreds of palace maidens and fairies appeared in the palace.
They were all-round but orderly, and from time to time they would bring a true immortal to the private room on the second floor. As for the demons and immortals with low magic power, they were content and had their own place.
After entering the middle seat, Xiaodie's dissipated inspiration came back. As it intensified, the sense of crisis in Xiaodie's heart became stronger and stronger. Somehow, she felt that all the treasures in front of her were so illusory and unreal.
Elder Chen Shu and Chen from the Xunxian Sect are no longer indifferent. They are here just for the ambergris that may appear in the conference.
Legend has it that this herb is wild duckweed, and it became a sacred herb only because the dragon rested and was contaminated by the dragon's breath. This medicinal herb can be used alone or used to make elixirs. It is said that it can help immortals regrow their broken limbs and trunks.
The reason why it is said is that this ambergris is too precious and only a few people use it. They also found the good medicine in ancient classics, and the authenticity is still unknown.
"To be honest with you two immortals, Elder Liu of our sect was seriously injured while trying to kill the big demon, so much so that his good left arm was swallowed by the beast. We are here just for this ambergris!"
Yang Jian nodded. He shouldn't enter such a mixed place unless necessary.
"Don't worry, I've got the opportunity here. If you don't have enough money, I can make up for it here."
Before several people could refuse, Yang Jian raised his hand to stop them.
"I didn't say that I would give it to you for free. I will ask your headmaster to return it to Kunlun when I get back."
"Brother Dao, be merciful——"
How could a few people not be grateful in their hearts? Their cultivation was not deep and they had seen so many miserable worlds along the way. There were very few immortals like this who were willing to help their comrades.
While talking, there was a knock on the door outside the Yage, and then several Xian'e filed in and brought tea and snacks. They were all treasures that could not be seen outside.
Xiaodie had also made mooncakes before when she was learning cooking from Empress Lishan. She knew that this item was unique to Taiyin, and the taste was far different from the imitations in the world.
She randomly picked up a piece and broke it open, and found that the filling was filled with honey-rich red beans, which were plump.
"That's not right. Don't use it yet."
These words were transmitted by voice, and several people were shocked when they heard this. They also became suspicious when they passed by the two of them to pick up snacks. At this moment, they were reminded and almost threw the things away.
"how?"
Xiaodie raised her hand to stop them, then followed the guidance in her heart to pinch open a honey bean, and then her eyes froze!
I saw a tiny insect egg embedded in the honey bean. If I looked closely, I found that the tentacles on it were about to protrude!
hiss--
Everyone gasped, then looked back and threw the cakes back like snakes and scorpions.
"insanity?"
Yang Jian on the side had already expected it, so he was not surprised when he saw this scene.
Xiaodie, who was the first to bear the brunt, was also quite calm. She shook her head slightly when she heard Yang Jian's guess. She was the incarnation of the insect genus and was naturally sensitive to these things.
"It's not considered a poison, it's just a poisonous insect that eats human souls. If it is eaten, it will be extremely difficult to get rid of it without magic."
When everyone heard this, they felt chills on their spines. If they had spoken too quickly just now, they might have become the puppets of the person behind it!
And if it was just a puppet, considering the condition of those "good meats" when they first entered the workshop, several people were even more shuddering!
"what to do!"
Chen Shu couldn't sit still. The owner obviously didn't want to let them leave!
"Whatever we do, we're here, let's see what kind of show they want to play first."
Yang Jian crossed his legs and leaned back on the recliner leisurely. He looked like a leisurely person who came to have fun.
"Uh, I just lost my temper."
Chen Shu sat back with some embarrassment, and the younger disciples who followed him had no choice but to sit on pins and needles.
"Don't worry. This beast of mine has some magical powers. It shouldn't be difficult to escape without being targeted."
Xiaodie gently stroked Nian Beast's ears. She was always thoughtful, and mentioned that the Xunxian Sect and Taiyin also had some connections. She didn't want to keep a few people in fear.
Sure enough, after receiving the promise, the others finally calmed down their panic, and Chen Shu decided to leave quickly after taking a photo of the ambergris.
The movement in the Accord was very slight, inconspicuous compared to other noisy places. As the third quarter passed, the sound of golden bells striking was heard again in the hall.
"Haha, welcome all the true immortals to come here to participate in our Huaixu Treasure Conference. My master has specially rewarded several rare treasures at this grand event, just to make your immortal luck prosper!"
Lian Yin arrived before the figure, and saw a woman in red clothes and black hair twisting her waist and stepping onto the jade platform, attracting the attention of all the male immortals.
Of course, this does not include Yang Jian.
"Oh, anyone really dares to call himself a master."
"Maybe this is the person's ambition."
The two people spoke calmly and did not look at the so-called rare treasure.
As the woman came onto the stage, the treasure conference began, but before the treasure came on stage, the palace maids once again served tea.
"You must have come all this way with a thirsty mouth. This tea is a soul-cleansing tea that is a specialty of Eastern China. It is not only rich in aura but also has the effect of cleansing karma. You might as well try it."
"Oh? There is such a good thing!"
"Quick, quick, pour some for me!"
The demon immortals below couldn't wait, but Chen Shu and others were unwilling to take a look. Although the tea smelled fine, what kind of people would have good intentions if they could be poisoned by the snacks?
As the immortals drank the "immortal tea" one by one, the smile of the woman in red on the stage became more and more public.
"What do you think?"
"What a tea! What a tea!"
A strong man with a tiger-like head nodded and praised repeatedly, while other immortals also looked like they were still not satisfied, and some even took the initiative to go to Xian'e to pour it again.
"Haha, don't be busy. If you like it, you will give it to me. Now it's time to reveal the first treasure."
As she spoke, the woman gently waved the golden staff in her hand. Immediately, the fairy light gathered and the Tao Yun appeared, and a picture scroll appeared out of thin air on the jade platform!
A group of immortals hurriedly took a closer look, and saw a scene of a battle between demons and gods painted on it with splashes of ink. The blood of the scene was rare!
"This is the world-class spiritual treasure demon god shaking the sky. It was painted by the ancient demon immortal after seeing the demon god slaughtering witches. It is said that if you watch it regularly, you can understand the mysterious magic of demons. If you can refine it, you can summon the great power. The evil thoughts are infinitely powerful!”
Wow——
The immortals were in an uproar when he said this. They didn't expect that Huaixu Inn would come up with such a rare treasure!
Most of the immortals here are demons who have become immortals, and everyone knows the power of the ancient demon gods. Although there is only a trace of residual thoughts in this painting, it can be regarded as a valuable treasure in today's era when the immortal gods have retired!
Sure enough, as soon as the woman finished speaking, countless immortals rushed to bid, and some even wanted to bid with jade coins!
Unfortunately, even so, the woman on the stage remained unmoved. Instead, she waved her sleeves to silence everyone.
"Everyone, please be patient. This time, the master of the conference has considered that the immortals may not have enough money to buy what they want. Therefore, in addition to the treasure coupons, you can also sign a treasure deed with your essence and blood in this auction. Come back when you have money in the future. What do you think of paying back the gold and silver?”
"This is true!"
The impoverished immortals below immediately became energetic. They had no resources and knew that they had rare treasures. They came this time just to experience the power of spiritual treasures or to pick up some.
How could they keep their composure after hearing such good things? They all immediately became excited.
The woman on the stage couldn't help but sneer when she saw their crazy look, but she still had a smile on her face, and then distributed the deeds one by one, even to the private rooms on the second floor.
"You can check it carefully. If you agree, you can sign your name immediately."
Xiaodie, who was originally suspicious, didn't find anything strange after taking it. It was indeed a contract to buy treasures on credit. Yang Jian next to him sneered. When he looked back, he found that the celestial eye on his forehead had opened a gap.
The fog wrapped around the paper was completely broken, and when everyone looked at it again, the handwriting on it was completely different.
I saw that all the words written on it were the true words of the great truth, and what they were doing was gold, silver and jewelry. What they wanted was the blessings of all living beings in the three lives!
"I just said how could they have such good intentions? It turns out that they want to seek the blessings of living beings. It seems that the people behind them have found a way to break through the quasi-sage!"
As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, the puppy started barking, and it looked like it was hoarse as if it was a life-and-death hatred.
The Nian Beast, who was lying on the ground to rest, was slightly surprised when he heard the dog barking, and then slowly turned his head.
"Interesting, this little guy said that all his fathers died in this book."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the so-called hatred. It seemed that someone had been tricked not long ago.
"Shh, be quiet."
Fluttershy patted its head lightly, suppressing the fluctuations around it.
Although they knew the true meaning of the contract, the immortal family outside did not know the danger here.
Some of those with tight hands had their names written directly with their essence and blood, and those who were originally wealthy were also tempted. Who would be willing to spend money in vain when they have such a good thing?
So thousands of immortals wrote down their names, and as long as they took pictures of the treasures, they could defer payment. Of course, some brave ones were already thinking about how to default on their debts.
With this piece of paper in hand, the immortals no longer cared about the gold and silver in their hands. They fought for those rare treasures, and the prices became more and more outrageous. In the end, even a single elixir was worth the price of jade coins!
Seeing this scene, Yang Jian shook his head helplessly: "Oh, how stupid. If there is such a good thing, the Lord of Huaixu is still not revered as a saint?"
In his eyes, every time these people bid, a ray of good fortune is taken away by something behind the hall, and some of them who have little good fortune are already entangled in nameless karma.
Xiaodie on the side was a little uneasy. Her opportunity was here. It could be seen that she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to buy these people's crazy looks.
At this time, Yang Jian stood up and patted her shoulder.
"As long as the evil demon is eliminated, the origin of these treasures is unknown. Why should you and I follow the rules?"
Seeing the smile in the corner of Yang Jian's eyes, Xiaodie couldn't help but burst into laughter. It turned out that she had been blinded by chance, and she should have thought of such a wonderful method.
"Fellow Taoist, I accept your kind words."
Xiaodie cupped her hands, no longer as worried as before, and no longer paid attention to the increasingly precious spiritual treasures on the stage.
However, Chen Shu and others who followed were uneasy. Their cultivation level was not high, and the contract was poison. What should they do now?
But before they could come up with a countermeasure, the woman on the stage had already summoned several powerful spiritual herbs.
"You may not know that this is the best Immortal Root Ambergris. It is a rare thing under the Dragon Seat. If it can be used as medicine to make elixirs, it will have the effect of muscle growth and marrow. Even if the limbs are severed, they can be regenerated!"
call!
Even the immortals who were dazzled by the treasure were also attracted by the powerful effect of the medicine. Some people who had no need of this treasure even bid for it, as if they signed a contract and didn't have to pay.
With the first few coins of ambergris, the price increased at a terrifying speed, reaching three jade coins in less than half a stick of incense.
"Five."
Everyone suddenly heard a divine voice coming from the Yage, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they heard the sky-high price of five coins!
"Haha, fellow Taoist is generous, does anyone else want to increase the price?"
The woman in red was slightly surprised. This person did not sign a "deed of sale."
And as she showed off her grace and beauty, those crazy fairies were immediately touched and shouted out the sky-high price of ten pieces!
"Twenty pieces."
How could it be that as soon as he finished speaking, the sky-high price was spread in the Yage, immediately silencing the noisy hall.
Now even the one who screamed the loudest did not dare to speak. He had already regretted it when he shouted out ten coins. No matter how precious this kind of spiritual grass is, it cannot be compared to genuine jade coins!
Seeing this scene, the woman also knew that the dust had settled, so without further words she directly ordered people to send ambergris to Yage.
Looking at the sacred grass on the tray, Yang Jian asked the boy who came with some fun.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll default on your debt?"
"Well, the immortal is joking, please take it."
The boy broke out in a cold sweat. The aura of the immortal in front of him was really amazing. He was just following orders, so he didn't know why Miss Hong didn't accept the money first.
After watching the young man leave, Yang Jianfu looked at the sacred grass with his heavenly eyes and found that it was indeed a good thing, and those people had not done anything with it.
"Here, put it away. We will leave here after Miss Butterfly has finished selecting the rare objects."
"Brother Dao, you are so kind! Everyone in the Xunxian Sect will definitely remember your kindness!"
Chen Shu and others bowed to the ground, while Yang Jian waved his hands indifferently. Meeting each other was fate, so there was no need to worship them.
As the ambergris fetched a sky-high price of twenty jade coins, the Treasure Fair also entered its climax. The objects photographed were of low quality at the beginning and gradually became of medium quality. Even the powerful people sitting on the second floor I can’t sit still anymore.
"The day after tomorrow is a medium-grade five-color stone. I bid fifty jade coins. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"
The red girl's face was flushed, and it seemed that as the banquet came to an end, she began to become crazy. No one would be surprised even if the treasure in her hand was priced at a sky-high price.
Those immortals who had been poisoned by the poisonous insects didn't know it yet, so they still bid generously and bought treasures one after another.
Seeing these people "happy with great treasures", Xiaodie's eyes were a little gloomy. As a true immortal, she couldn't let these people turn into puppets. However, this place was complicated and complicated. She was weak and could only figure it out slowly first. .
At this time, Yang Jian suddenly frowned and noticed that the originally stable hall began to shake slightly.
"It's not good. The treasure ship has moved."
Xiaodie's eyes froze when she heard this, and then the inspiration and uneasiness in her heart collided with each other, causing all the mana in her body to boil!
"It seems that the person behind it doesn't want the people on the boat to leave."
Everyone became solemn, but Xiaodie hesitated and took out the jade token.
"I hope senior sister is not busy."
As he spoke, a ray of light quietly passed away from the jade pendant and fled to an unknown direction.
Yang Jian next to him wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. His master could not come out easily, so he might not have taken his summons seriously at all.
As soon as Xiaodie put away the jade pendant, a heavy treasure appeared on the chaotic banquet.
"This next thing is the highlight of this conference, please take a look!"
Buzz——
Everyone only heard a roar of Tao Yun, and an innate divine egg actually appeared on the jade platform!
"This is the object that the ancient demon god transformed into after his death. There is a trace of the demon god's essence and blood hidden in it. Is there anything you immortals can ask for!?"
