The maid brought a tray covered with gold-edged red silk.
Lu Yin introduced with a smile, "I know that all of you distinguished guests are waiting for the last three red-level treasures, so I would like to ask you to be patient. As usual, the Kyushu fragments will be used as a guide in the middle of the auction." The red silk tray was opened, There are three kits placed.
"The Kyushu Fragments, as the name suggests, are fragments of the ancient map of the Kyushu continent. The fragments have been eroded and need to be peered with special techniques. They show a random place in Kyushu. It may be a city in the world, it may be a mountain range in the world of cultivation, or it may be undiscovered. The secret realm may also be a small island in the outer sea, which appears by chance. The starting price is one thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Please bid."
But after the auction started, there were not many bidders, and the bidding was slow.
Zhao Ning was very curious about the Jiuzhou fragments, "Uncle Qin, where did this fragment come from?"
"The Demonic Wasteland of the West." Qin Keyuan said, "Tens of thousands of years ago, the Demonic Wasteland of the West was not invaded by the demons. It was also called the Haotian Cultivation Realm. There was a hidden sect in this world called Tianji Palace. The Tianji Palace was used to divine the stars. , deduced the secrets of heaven, and then gathered the power of the whole palace to deduce a complete map of the ancient Kyushu before the Great Destruction. However, at the time of the chaos of the devil, all the monks in the palace were crazy, so this ancient map of Kyushu was split into tens of thousands of pieces, scattered across the All over the Demonic Wilderness of the West.”
I have always heard about the Demonic Wilderness of the West, but I never thought that before the Demonic Wasteland of the West, there were many sects and wonderful methods.
"At first, some monks got the fragments of Kyushu and discovered a silent and unknown secret land. They were shocked as a gift from heaven. More monks took the risk to find it, but the fragments mostly showed places known in Kyushu today. The search for the fragments The heat cooled down."
"If I were to tell you, wouldn't it be better to collect all the fragments of the Nine Provinces and put them together into a complete map of the ancient Nine Provinces?"
Zhao Ning thought of it and said, but she also knew that it would be difficult to go to heaven, so the number of fragments was tens of thousands, and they were scattered in the Demonic Wasteland of the West, collecting them all in vain.
Qin Keyuan chuckled and saw Lu Yin on the stage bidding for 2,100 low-grade spiritual stones for the second time.
He suddenly raised the price to three thousand, and easily won three brocade bags containing fragments of Kyushu scrolls.
The maid of Qianying Tower sent the fragments of Kyushu to Room A.
Qin Keyuan pushed the tray in front of Zhao Ning, "How about trying your luck?"
Chapter 125
Zhao Ning blinked and Qin Keyuan encouraged.
He took out a brocade bag, which was made of Cuixiangyun brocade, with forbidden spirit patterns embroidered on it.
Pulling off the lace, a wisp of demonic energy overflowed first. He wrapped his hands with spiritual power and took out the contents of the brocade bag. It was a roll of silk, tied with a gold braided rope. The material was old and yellowed, and the surface was stained. There is a sticky black and red demonic energy attached to it.
"Thousands of evils and filth will be purified by water; clear and clear, everything will be hidden." ①
Listening to Qin Keyuan's few incantations, Zhao Ning made peace with them.
The spiritual power surrounds the seal, and the demonic energy dissipates when touched.
This method alone consumes three layers of spiritual power. No wonder Qianyinglou would rather use it as a hot spot for the finale rather than expend spiritual power to eliminate demons one by one and observe the map. It is really unbalanced. .
However, with Qin Keyuan by his side and the protection of Jindan Zhenren, there is no need to worry about spending some spiritual energy, and he should just satisfy his curiosity.
Unfolding the silk, the pattern slowly appeared on it. At first, Zhao Ning was a little excited, but when it was fully revealed, the excitement collapsed.
The terrain is so common that even with your eyes closed you can tell it looks like the outskirts of an ordinary city.
There is a pavilion in the forest, and a moat surrounds the forest. Outside, there are mountain peaks and several waterways running through the mountain.
But Jiuzhou is so big, even if it is a common landform map, Zhao Ning doesn't know where it is.
Her eyes asked Qin Keyuan for help. Qin Keyuan waved his robe sleeves, and the clear light in the air dimmed, revealing a huge map of Kyushu.
This is a map of Kyushu that has been redrawn by great masters in the past thousand years. It includes the nine realms of mortals and cultivators, as well as the sea areas outside Kyushu. However, the details of the landforms are very rough, including locations such as the Qianren Mountains, the Demonic Wasteland of the West, and the Sea of Heaven. It is almost blank, with only a few notes.
The opened Kyushu scroll flew out from Zhao Ning's hand, fluttering like light feathers. An area the size of a fingernail lit up in the mortal area of the new Kyushu map. That area was enlarged in the aura, and other parts of the new map were darkened. , the old and new maps slowly fit together.
Annotations on the new map were printed on the Kyushu fragments.
"North Mountain of Lu State."
Zhao Ning whispered, "My luck is really bad."
Qin Keyuan laughed at her, "If the first fragment of Nine Provinces is an unknown land, I'm afraid it would be an exaggeration to say that I am the darling of heaven."
Speaking of which, a fragment of the Kyushu scroll is no bigger than a fingernail on the nine-foot-square new map. It is more absurd than finding a needle in a haystack to be scattered into tens of thousands of pieces in the West Pole Demonic Wasteland, where monsters are rampant and are spread over thousands of miles.
Qin Keyuan picked the second kit for Zhao Ning.
The second Kyushu fragment showed half of the city. Zhao Ning already knew where it was without even comparing it with the new Kyushu map.
By coincidence, it was exactly where they were now, on the left side of Linxian Street in Guiyuan City.
At that time, Guiyuan City had no appearance on the map, but it was sparsely populated.
"Uncle Qin, this is a surprise prepared by Qian Yinglou. I don't know if I have bad luck or good luck."
"Perhaps you have a destiny with Guiyuan City." Qin Keyuan smiled and pointed at the last tip bag, "If we drive out to the right side of Guiyuan City again..."
"Uncle Qin, don't try to ridicule me."
Zhao Ning opened the third fragment without any expectations. After opening it, there was another mountain map, but it was slightly different from the previous one. In the torn corner, it seemed that a boundary line could be seen, and it was the boundary line of the land.
Zhao Ning subconsciously looked towards the coastal direction of the Kyushu map.
But she still couldn't tell where it was. Just as Zhao Ning threw out the Kyushu fragments to compare with the map, she suddenly found two regular symbols in the lower right corner of the map. After careful consideration, its lines and trends seemed to be the same as those on the map. ancient script.
"Uncle Qin, you can recognize these ancient characters."
"It's written about Lai Island."
Zhao Ning's first reaction was that there must be books on interpreting ancient texts in the Neimen Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, but after thinking about it, these two words seemed a bit familiar.
"Lai Island?" Zhao Ning pondered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Uncle Master, I know that in ancient times there was a fairy island called Penglai Island. Could it be the one depicted in this fragment?"
Qin Keyuan did not answer immediately. He was still focusing on the paintings on the Jiuzhou fragments. The fragments marked woods, mountains and some man-made buildings, but the strange thing was that the trees in these woods were annotated with "Shatang". .
According to legend, the Shatang tree is a spiritual tree in the ancient Kunlun hills. Its fruit can protect water. However, the Kunlun hills were razed to the ground as early as the Great Destruction. The Shatang tree can only grow in the soil of Kunlun, and it has long been extinct in Kyushu. .
Then why does it still appear on ancient maps, and even appears on the suspected Penglai Immortal Island.
"Uncle Qin, this should be an unknown island." Zhao Ning smiled, "Looking at its location, it should be in the mist of the sea."
But Qin Keyuan still didn't answer. Zhao Ning stopped smiling and called out again, "Uncle?"
Qin Keyuan then said "Yeah", "It should be."
Although Qin Keyuan responded, Zhao Ning found it strange. Maybe Qin Keyuan always answered decisively and affirmatively, and did not hesitate like this.
"Xu Bingyuan, what do you mean?!" But at this moment, the movement outside interrupted Zhao Ning's thoughts.
When Zhao Ning looked outside, she saw that a new auction item had been placed on the stage. She didn't know which item it was. There was silence in the hall, but the Luoxia Sect and Yuhua Sect were competing for it.
Xu Bingyuan was young, but quite arrogant. Hearing the angry voice from the other side, he leaned in his armchair and had no intention of treating him politely.
He raised the corners of his narrow eyes and said with a smile, "Why is Uncle Wu so angry? Isn't it normal to compete for lots at auctions? If you, the Luoxia Sect, want this Red Level Formation, I, the Yuhua Sect, can't have it?" "
As he spoke, he raised his hand faintly and said, "Thirty-four thousand."
This increase in price made Lu Yin on the stage stunned, and his voice was no longer as enchanting as before, "Room E, thirty-four thousand, does anyone want it?"
The way he spoke softly seemed to be afraid of getting involved in the conflict between the two.
Zhao Ning was puzzled, "Uncle Wu and Xu Bingyuan are both high-level figures in the two sects. Wouldn't such a collision cause disharmony among the sects?"
This is already discord, this seems to be a grudge, they are already fighting against each other.
Zhao Ning hesitated. Could it be that the conflict between the two sects in the secret realm had been spread back to their sect?
Thinking like this, Zhao Ning felt that it was very possible. After all, a year had passed and so many disciples from the two sects had not returned. They must have sent people to look for them. In addition, Qingxiao Sect's Xiaobi's actions after the accident. It's hard not to catch the attention of both cases.
While Zhao Ning was thinking, the quarrels outside had become more and more frequent, and no one wanted to let anyone go.
Qin Keyuan suddenly murmured, "The Wanxiang Tianluo Formation Diagram."
Zhao Ning paused for a moment and realized that what Qin Keyuan was talking about was the name of this lot.
What a coincidence, there were monks in the hall muttering.
"Why are these two sects so angry? They are nothing more than the Vientiane Heavenly Luo Formation."
"Although it is a red-level auction item, this formation is not a large-scale formation like a mountain-protecting formation. According to Boss Lu, it is at best a hunting weapon."
"Could it be that these two sects stumbled before? I remember that the chaos in the secret realm last year seemed to have been reconciled."
"Not only that, I heard it happened a while ago..."
"Master Wu!" Xu Bingyuan suddenly raised his voice, "It is not our Yuhua Sect's fault that Master Su and his lover were injured. Why would Master Wu vent his anger like this and let other people laugh at it? Moreover, many of our sect died as a result. people."
Su Maoyan and Ye Ziying? Zhao Ning realized who he was referring to and was even more surprised. Su Maoyan was the son of the leader of the Luoxia Sect. Why was he injured and still involved with the Yuhua Sect?
However, Zhao Ning had doubts, and there were even more doubts in the hall.
The insider who was interrupted just now whispered, "I heard that Uncle Su from the Luoxia Sect and his lover secretly broke into the Yuhua Sect's frozen forbidden area and triggered the frozen magic. In order to suppress the forbidden area and rescue Su at the same time, Uncle Master and his lover, many Yuhua Sect disciples were seriously injured as a result, and three others died..."
Before he could finish his words, a spiritual light suddenly struck down and went away from the speaker, but then another spiritual light rushed in and happened to hit the previous spiritual light. The two spiritual lights collided and instantly collapsed the tea seat near the speaker. .
The speaker was so frightened that he stepped back, and there was a small commotion in the hall.
Boss Fang's figure appeared in the hall, and his men followed behind him and quickly repaired the damaged areas.
Boss Fang raised his hands with a grimace, "Senior Wu, Senior Xu, if you have anything to say, Qianying Tower is just a small auction place. It really cannot bear the anger of the two of you. If both of you need the formation map, why not... …”
"Uncle Wu, why do you need to get angry and hurt innocent people? This is how it should be."
However, Boss Fang has no right to speak between the two of them. In addition, the two of them are surrounded by many high-level Qi practitioners and even masters of the Foundation Establishment Realm. No matter how powerful Boss Fang's men are, he does not dare to force them. Drive the two people out.
"Xu Bingyuan, son, please don't confuse right and wrong. If it weren't for your sect's deceitfulness and sneak attacks late at night, how could my junior brother Su and his younger siblings break into the frozen forbidden land?!"
"This is so funny. The dignified young master of the Luoxia Sect didn't seek help from my disciples of the Yuhua Sect when he was assassinated. Instead, he ran away in confusion. I'm afraid there is something wrong in his heart!"
"You!" Wu Hanhai was choked with anger.
Suddenly I heard the sound of a sword, and with a clang, the spirit sword had pierced the window of the room number E.
Two people stood up behind Xu Bingyuan. With a pinch of magic, the spiritual light spread out and blocked the spiritual sword outside in an instant.
After gaining the upper hand, his spiritual light immediately turned into countless ice cones, and he fought back towards Room C with his spiritual sword.
Three Foundation Establishment Realm monks battled, leaving the hall covered with a layer of frost.
The monks in the hall fled in panic. At this moment, a sword light flashed through, and the opposition on both sides was suddenly forcibly cut off.
The two yelled at the same time, "Who!"
Boss Fang realized who had taken action and quickly bowed to Room A, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your help."
"Chief Qin? Qin Keyuan!"
The restrictions on Room A were removed, and Qin Keyuan and Zhao Ning stood by the hanging window.
