Ye Qing was also startled and almost slipped off his chair.
It's not that his concentration is too poor, it's just that the word "Demon Lord" is too scary.
Demon Lord Li Hentian was the most powerful person in the Spring and Autumn Period eight hundred years ago. His grace was unparalleled and his appearance was peerless. With the power of one person, he dominated the Spring and Autumn Period of the Four Kingdoms and dominated the world.
Once, one man and one sword cut off ten miles of peach blossoms, forcing Longhu Mountain to remain closed for hundreds of years and ignore human affairs;
Once, with a flower and a chess piece, at the Lotus Summit, the master of Zhenwu sat down and discussed the Tao. When the flowers fell and the chess was over, the master of Zhenwu and his soldiers were transformed into feathers;
With one word and one punch, he went to Lanke Temple alone, drove away the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, destroyed the Buddhist kingdom thousands of miles away, and caused the Buddhist kingdom in the sky to fall to the earth;
Once, with a drink and a sword, he entered the sky alone, and went to Fengdu alone. He was drunk and slashed Qianqiu with a long sword, and all the immortals, ghosts and gods bowed their heads.
…
In short, when the demon king Lihentian was born in the sky, he dominated the spring and autumn rivers and lakes for hundreds of years. He was invincible in heaven and on earth. The righteous way, the devil way, Buddhism, Confucianism, wealthy families, and aristocratic families all dared not take the lead; Buddha, saints, immortals, Gods and demons, compared to them, are like fireflies to the bright moon.
Bai Yujing once commented on the demon king Lihentian, saying: "Lihentian has been around for thousands of years in the Spring and Autumn Period, but Lihentian is rare in the world."
However, Demon Lord Lihentian rose like a comet and fell like a shooting star. Suddenly one day, Demon Lord Lihentian disappeared mysteriously, leaving no trace of him in the world.
Some people rumored that Demon Lord Lihentian was besieged by masters of good and evil and died;
Some people rumored that Demon Lord Lihentian pursued the ultimate in martial arts and shattered the void and left;
Some people say that the demon king Lihentian is invincible in the world, lonely and boring, and his soldiers are disbanded.
Some people rumored that Demon Lord Lihentian took several of his confidants and wandered around the world incognito;
etc.
But legends are just legends after all. No one knows why Demon Lord Lihentian disappeared mysteriously, and it has become one of the biggest mysteries in the world of martial arts and martial arts.
However, although Demon Lord Lihentian disappeared mysteriously, his legend is still one of the most talked about topics in the world today, and his name is still one of the untouchable martial arts myths in today's world.
Therefore, he was so shocked when he first heard Huo Gu mention the name of Demon Lord Lihentian, let alone the other party also mentioned the Demon Lord's inheritance.
He believed that not only him, but also others were probably scared to death.
Huo Skull seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's performance. After whetting everyone's appetite, he slowly said: "Hahaha... Some distinguished guests guessed it right. What we got is indeed not the Demon Lord's inheritance. How about the Demon Lord's inheritance?" It’s so easy to get.”
"So, you are playing tricks on us?" A lonely, cold voice slowly sounded. The moment the voice sounded, the entire ghost building trembled slightly. The flames on the fire skull suddenly extinguished, and cracks appeared. On the skull.
"Dear guest... don't worry, I... I haven't finished speaking yet?" Huo Skull was horrified. He only felt like an ant under the feet of gods and demons, small and helpless.
"Okay, tell me, I'll listen. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll kill you."
The voice sounded again: "Even if your landlord comes, I can't save your life. This is what I said."
"Yes, yes." Huo Gu had a premonition that what the other party said was true. Did he suppress the restriction of the Ghost Tower and the spiritual will left by the owner of the Ghost Tower without seeing a word from the other party?
Too strong, can't be offended, can't be offended.
Huo Gu didn't dare to show off any more and said hurriedly: "That's it, I, Gui Lou, accidentally obtained a painting left by the Demon Lord back then.
There is a poem written on the painting. My master’s guess is that the poem is probably related to the inheritance of the Demon King. "
"Painting, what kind of painting? Take it out first and have a look. Otherwise, how would we know if this was directed and performed by you Guilou?" someone said.
"Haha, that's of course. When I do business in Guilou, I have always been honest and upright," said Huo Gu.
"Uh-huh..." Everyone sneered in their hearts, but did not speak. Instead, they nervously waited for the painting Huo Skull mentioned.
After a few breaths, an ugly evil ghost walked out holding a painting.
In Ye Qing's opinion, the evil ghost is not weak, at least it is unpredictable and weird.
After the evil spirit came on stage, he opened the scroll in his hand in front of everyone. As the scroll was opened, a strange power floated from the scroll. The painting of landscapes, flowers and birds, which was originally a splash of ink, slowly came to life. Coming here, the mountain springs are flowing and tinkling, the breeze is gentle, the flowers and trees are swaying, the yellow birds are chirping, butterflies are blooming, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing...
That kind of life is not that the skills are close to Tao and lifelike; nor is it that some force distorts and affects their senses, making them feel that the painting has come alive, but that the landscapes, flowers and plants are originally alive, as if someone has transformed a landscape into a painting. , as if a small area of the scroll was sealed.
"This is indeed a painting made by the Demon Lord, and the true meaning of the Demon Lord's martial arts remains on it." The strong man said.
"Yes, this is definitely a painting by Lord Demon Lord. In my records of the Heavenly Palace of Lihen, there is also a record about Lord Demon Lord's painting of flowers, birds and clear stream. This picture is also the last painting made by Lord Demon Lord. , but after finishing the painting, the Demon King disappeared together with the painting." A woman said anxiously.
"I didn't expect people from Lihentian Palace to come too?!" Ye Qing touched his nose. The Demon Lord's name was Lihentian. As the name suggests, Lihentian Palace and the Demon Lord were inextricably linked.
Lihentian Palace is now one of the Nine Paths of Evil. According to legend, Lihentian Palace was created by Yan Qingyan, one of the thirteen demon concubines of Demon Lord Lihentian.
At that time, although the Demon Lord Lihentian oppressed the heavens, he did not establish a sect. Instead, after he mysteriously disappeared, Yan Qingyan used the manpower and resources left by the original Demon Lord to create a sect in the name of the Demon Lord. To the Heavenly Palace of Lihen.
Relying on the name and legacy of the Demon King, the Lihen Heavenly Palace has become one of the most famous sects in the world after hundreds of years of development.
"The water in the clear stream is clear, and the birds are singing in the mountains and rivers;"
"Seeing the Immortal Lord at the Dead Sea is like dreaming in the Northern Desert."
At the top of the scroll, there is a limerick inscribed with uneven rhyme.
Well, maybe it’s not even a limerick, it’s just a poem-like thing stacked up with several words.
"Demon Lord's paintings are of heavenly beings, but this poem is very pyrotechnic, and is about the same level as ours." Everyone couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts, and they also had the same feeling of the myth being shattered.
"Ahem... what the Demon Lord said, oh no, what does this poem have to do with the Demon Lord's inheritance?" the strong man asked.
"Senior, you can't stand it anymore. Let's be honest. This is not poetry at all." The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.
"Dear guests, please take a closer look. The mystery lies in this poem." Huoguan continued to lie.
"Is your basis based on the four words "Inheritance of the Demon Lord" in the poem? Ye Qing asked.
"Haha, it seems that some guests noticed it." Huo Skull admitted.
"What are the four words Demon King's inheritance? Where are they? Why didn't I see them?"
"Yeah, stop being so pretentious, friend, and explain it to me."
After hearing what Huo Guan and Ye Qing said, some people were still confused.
"The last word of each line of that poem, read backwards, its homophony is the Demon King's inheritance." Ye Qing did not hide anything and explained.
"Mo, Jun, Chuan, Cheng... the inheritance of the Demon Lord, hey, it is indeed the inheritance of the Demon Lord!"
Everyone was stunned.
"My husband is so smart, he figured it out right away." Bai Lushui looked at Ye Qing and said.
"Just kidding, I'm a professional when it comes to riddle guessing." Ye Qing smiled softly without saying anything.
"Huo Skull, is this your basis?" The strong man asked, "Don't you think it's a bit childish?"
"It's not a child's play. It is said that Lord Demon Lord is a master of poetry and painting. Don't you find it strange that you are able to write such a crappy poem?"
Huo Skull smiled and explained: "In addition, this poem mentions two places, and these two places actually exist in reality."
"You mean the Dead Sea and the Northern Desert." The strong man said.
"Exactly." Huoguan said: "And the Dead Sea happens to be located in the Northern Desert, plus the four words Demon Lord inheritance, isn't the meaning very obvious?"
"The Demon King's inheritance is in the Dead Sea of the Northern Desert?" The same thought suddenly came to everyone's mind.
"Although the Dead Sea is a dangerous place in the northern desert and only appears once every sixty years, it's not like no strong people have entered it. If there really is a demon king's inheritance in the Dead Sea, is it possible that no one has discovered it?" someone questioned.
"That's a good question." Huo Skull immediately answered: "Then let's talk about the focus of this auction."
"When we discovered Demon Lord's painting of a clear stream of flowers and birds, we also found a token with the words "Demon Lord" and the flower and bird pattern on it. It was made of meteorite iron and had the aura of "Demon Lord" on it. Therefore, my master I guess the reason why those people didn’t discover the Demon Lord’s inheritance is because they don’t have the Demon Lord’s order.”
"Oh, by the way, Demon King's Token is the name my master gave this token."
As he said that, Huoguan took out a token, which was the size of a baby's palm, square, and completely black, with the word "Demon Lord" engraved on it.
Just seeing the word "Demon Lord", everyone felt a surge of overwhelming pressure coming towards them. The pressure was filled with domineering and nobility, just like the king of heaven and earth.
"It's the aura of Lord Demon Lord, that's right." The woman from the Lihen Heavenly Palace said, "Where did you get these things?"
"This is the secret of this building. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of telling you."
Huo Skull smiled and said: "Of course, let me declare in advance that these are my master's guesses. As for whether they are true or not, I hope you can make your own decision."
"Damn it, what you said is so reasonable and well-founded, how can we make a decision? Of course we must believe it decisively." Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cursed secretly, not to mention that it was so well-founded. Even if Huo Skull made a guess out of thin air and said something about the inheritance of the Demon King in the Dead Sea without any basis, it would probably cause a bloody storm in the world.
"How much do you want for this Demon King Token? I want it from Lihentian Palace." The woman from Lihentian Palace said.
"You want it? Master Quyuan, you don't think that this Demon King's Token belongs to your family, do you?" As soon as the woman finished speaking, one person mocked.
Lihentian Palace is headed by the Palace Master. Under the palace lord, there are six garden masters. The person who wants to speak is one of the six garden masters of Lihentian Palace.
"Master Demon Lord is a member of my Lihentian Palace, and his things belong to my Lihentian Palace. Is there any problem?"
The master of Quyuan is straightforward and confident.
