"Hundreds of forces?"
Milo repeated, Yangzhen nodded and said: "That's no wonder. The disciples of Taiyue Mountain all regard the emperor as their ancestor, and especially admire his actions of unifying Hanxia and ruling for tens of thousands of years. They believe that many island countries in the south and The reason why the ancient northern countries fell behind is directly related to their failure to achieve unification."
Hearing Yangzhen's ambiguous explanation, Milo couldn't help but add: "Just as they like to compare the scattered countries in the south and the north to highlight the correctness of the unification of the emperor. They also like to set up in some illusory realms Among them, choose suitable people to unify the world, and then let them bring them into Hanxia when they offer sacrifices to heaven."
Qian Fangkong nodded: "This is also one of Taiyue Mountain's confidence. As an immortal sect that has been inherited by the emperor, they are best at terrain and luck. Taiyue Mountain is also among the existing immortal sects. There are few sects involved in the underworld and the underworld. Door. It is said that part of the cave heaven and blessed land they owned sank into the underworld, assisting the emperor in managing the reincarnation system, and can influence some of the dead souls who transferred to Hanxia."
Milo asked again: "Then do you know the specific situation of those hundreds of forces?"
"this……"
Qian Fangkong was silent for a while, and just when Milo thought he was about to take out his companion treasure again, he raised his hand unexpectedly, and a ray of clear light emerged, revealing a map.
Milo looked familiar, but there was a clear bulge, and the rooster-like pattern was almost invisible.
On it, large and small are filled with hundreds of colors, and some of the colors are relatively close. At a glance, it seems that there are only more than a dozen forces.
"This is the information my friend gave me, and it is also the information collected by Taiyue Mountain. The ones with similar colors represent different factions under the same force. They fight with each other and kill each other, which is very harmful. And the people behind them Most of the forces are folk teachings. Interestingly, according to the news from Taiyue Mountain, many of these teachings are under the names of Maoshan, Quanzhen and Tianshi Dao."
"But in fact, as far as I know, these teachings are self-contained and do not obey the orders of the so-called Maoshan, Quanzhen and Tianshi Tao at all. Those who are suspected to be the direct descendants of Maoshan, Quanzhen and Tianshi Tao live in seclusion in various places. , to suppress the increasingly intense evil aura in that area."
Hearing this, Milo roughly guessed the origin of this Fang Taixu illusion.
Then he asked for information again, spent a lot of talismans, and looked at Qian Fangkong with softer eyes.
When Miluo was about to leave, Qian Fangkong thought for a while and suddenly said: "Fellow Taoist Miluo, I heard that you had previously intended to collect portraits of gods. Tonight, Dongming Auction House has a blank divine edict originating from Taixu Illusion for auction. , if you are interested, you can go and have a look."
With that said, Qian Fangkong handed out two more invitations, which were stamped with the seal of Dongming Auction House.
After Milo handed over his hand and thanked him, he went shopping with Yangzhen again and purchased some things. After it got late, he went to the auction house with Yangzhen.
The auction house here is a huge flower boat. The two Milo people who entered with invitations were led into the corresponding room by several handsome and beautiful men and women. During this period, Yangzhen just paid a little attention to a certain woman for a moment. After the two sat down, the others left one after another, leaving only the woman to stay where she was to provide services to the two of them.
The invitations of Miluo and Yangzhen originated from Qian Fangkong, which is considered first-class among this flower boat. The interior is gorgeously decorated, and exquisite carvings can be seen everywhere, with obvious traces of handwork and humanities. The breath is obviously not an ordinary product.
Moreover, the decorations everywhere support each other without giving people any sense of conflict or confusion, which shows the ability of the person who arranged it.
In front of Milo and Yangzhen, on the central stage of the flower boat, there is a huge jade platform, with jade boxes suspended on the platform, flying up and down, rotating slowly, and there are already Some auction items arranged.
These items are just appetizers for the auction and can be purchased directly by bidding.
Yangzhen glanced at it from a distance, frowned slightly, and said to Milo: "They are all materials that require a lot of effort, there are no rare treasures."
Milo smiled when he heard this, and the maid next to him said: "Dear guest, today's auction is a normal auction every day. For those precious materials and magical artifacts, our Dongming Auction House mostly puts them at the end of the year. It’s time to conduct a unified auction.”
"But daily auctions also have the benefits of daily auctions. For example, today there are several sellers who are eager to auction items. These items could originally be sold at the year-end auction, but now they can be purchased at a price that is 10% or 20% lower than at the end of the year. , very cost-effective.”
Yang Zhen had no interest in the woman's remarks. He came here today more to accompany Milo.
Milo, who saw what he was thinking, smiled, took out a talisman and handed it to the maid. After letting her exit, he opened the magic taboo in the room and chatted with Yangzhen about the many auction items on the stone platform.
He pointed at one of the jade boxes and said, "Senior brother, look at the green jade dragon pattern brush wash."
Yang Zhen looked up, his eyes suddenly straightened.
The whole body of the brush there should be carved from a whole piece of sapphire. The overall shape uses plum blossoms as the main body. From the inside, it looks like a blooming plum blossom, and there are a lot of fine sapphires around the petals. It is carved into a small plum blossom, with branches spliced with gold, silver and broken jade, surrounding the periphery and the west of the brush wash, as a fixation, support and decoration.
The entire brush is simple and elegant when viewed from top to bottom. When viewed from the edge, the upper part is covered with flowers and the lower part is intricately intertwined and inlaid with gold and silver. It can be described as extremely luxurious. Of course, these appearances and decorations were not the reason for Yangzhen's love. What really moved him was the ink mark in the middle of the brush that looked like the shadow of a dragon with dragon patterns.
"The ink marks resemble dragon patterns or the shadow of a dragon, which indicates that the previous owner of this painting often wrote and painted with ink mixed with dragon blood. Either this person was extremely good at drawing dragons, or he had an in-depth study of dragon patterns. , so that there is a wisp of dragon energy hidden in the tip of the pen, and such an ink mark can be cultivated in the brush wash. Senior brother, you are good at writing talismans with dragon patterns, so getting this brush wash will be of great benefit."
Yangzhen was quite happy at first, but he looked at the price of the wash and shook his head: "It's expensive."
"Why is it so expensive?" Milo asked with a smile.
Yangzhen said plausibly: "The sapphire used in the brush wash was no more than ordinary. Although it was inlaid with gold and silver and made more beautiful, this move destroyed the idea of the brush wash. And the ink marks spread a little, obviously. I have been away from my old master for ten years, and the new master is far inferior to the old master in terms of cultivation and pen and ink attainments. Using a brush wash will not only fail to nourish it, but will also consume the foundation of the ink mark all the time, which is not worth the price."
"But if we don't buy it, then the money will most likely fall into the hands of another mediocre person, and in the end this ink mark that was finally cultivated will be completely consumed. Are you willing to do this?"
Milo looked at Yang Zhen and joked.
Yangzhen looked at the pen washer, thought for a while and said, "Although I feel sorry for it, I still think it's not worth that much money."
When Milo heard this, he made a bid for it. Yang Zhen was a little strange, and looked at Milo with a little confusion.
"Senior Brother Yangzhen, many times when we buy and sell things, we just do it for the moment of excitement. We want to keep it, and now, I like this thing quite a lot. It's not expensive anyway."
Hearing Milo's answer, Yangzhen frowned and said, "But you are going to auction the blank divine edict that originated from Taixu Illusion later. That thing should not be cheap. Is it appropriate to spend so much money now?"
Milo smiled and said nothing, took out a stack of talismans from his sleeves, and said with a smile: "A few years ago, with the help of you and Senior Sister Yangyuan, I paid off the sect's debts. But during the period that just ended, I felt a little I didn’t feel comfortable with it, so I drew some more talismans.”
Yangzhen looked at the stack of talismans in Milo's hand, calculated the consumption of himself and others in Fangshi, and silently closed his mouth.
At the same time, as an inheritor of the Yunlu Peak Kung Fu, he often drew talismans, but due to the need for cultivation, he could not keep his cultivation. He couldn't help but take another look at the talisman in Milo's hand.
