After Venerable Poison appeared, his pair of gloomy eyes scanned the surroundings. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Tianji, I know you arrived before me. Since I'm here, you don't have to hide. Come out. !”
As the voice fell, a squeaking sound suddenly came from the reeds not far away. Soon, the reeds parted, and a man slowly walked out of it.
The man was an old man, wearing a black robe. Although his beard and hair were white, his face was rosy. Moreover, this old man did not have a sense of distance from others like Venerable Poison. This old man had a friendly look on his face, as if he was a neighbor's grandfather. .
But if someone really thinks of him as an old man next door, they will probably suffer a big loss. This old man is as famous as Venerable Poison in the endless sea. He is Old Man Tianji.
"Tianji, you are a powerful person in the Dharma Realm, but you are hiding in the reeds?!"
After Venerable Du saw Old Man Tianji, a look of ridicule appeared on his face.
Old Man Tianji didn't take it seriously either. He smiled and said, "Old Poison, you came a quarter of an hour later than the time we agreed. Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
"trouble?"
"I haven't had any trouble since I started practicing!"
Venerable Du rolled his eyes at Old Man Tianji and said disdainfully.
"I just met some blind robbers on the way here. They actually wanted to rob me. I killed them on the spot. Then I searched for their souls and robbed their lair!"
In the end, Venerable Poison explained why he was late.
"Then it looks like they're out of luck."
Old Man Tianji shook his head and smiled.
"Tianji, have you really figured out which item will appear in the Rashengtang auction?"
Venerable Poison thought of something and suddenly said.
After he finished speaking, a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
"Hey, old poisoner, you and I are friends of life and death. Is it possible that I would lie to you?"
When Old Man Tianji heard what Venerable Du said, he blew his beard and glared.
It turns out that when the old man Tianji and the Venerable Du were young, they had a friendship that shared adversity. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were friends of life and death. This was why Luo Shengtang did not want to deal with them.
If you kill one and the other escapes, you will be in trouble. A strong person in the Dharma Realm wants to hide, but it is very difficult to find him.
Of course, that is because there is no big conflict between the old man Tianji, the Venerable Poison and Luo Shengtang. If there is something that greatly affects Luo Shengtang, then Luo Shengtang will probably find the old man Tianji and the Venerable Poison even if they dig three feet. !
"Old Poison, after my detailed investigation and my deduction, that item will definitely appear at the auction of Luosheng Hall!"
"Don't you still believe in my deduction method?"
Old Man Tianji glared at Venerable Poison sideways.
"That's not true. Tianji, your deduction skills are extremely powerful. When you were young, if it weren't for your deduction skills, we might have died long ago!"
Venerable Poison sneered.
Suddenly remembering something, Venerable Du asked curiously: "Tianji, I remember that when you helped a hall master of Luosheng Hall to deduce something, something went wrong. With your strength, there shouldn't be any problem in the deduction. So what happened? "
"Is there a problem with the deduction?"
"What the hell is wrong!"
"There's obviously something wrong with what that bastard provided, but I didn't deduce it correctly!"
"Unexpectedly, in the end, the hall leader, just to save face, slapped me down and said that there was a problem with my deduction!"
When Venerable Du mentioned the past, Old Man Tianji became very angry. His eyes widened and he wished he could eat him!
"So that's it. I think the higher-ups of Luosheng Hall also knew the whole story, so they didn't agree to that bastard hall master's request to hunt you down."
After hearing Old Man Tianji's explanation, Venerable Du also suddenly realized.
"By the way, Tianji, you said that something like that would appear at the Rasheng Hall auction. Do you know the specific form in which such something would appear?"
"Or is it hidden in the middle of something?"
Venerable Poison continued to ask.
"I'm not sure about this, because there is a Tao Yun on that thing, which can block my deduction skills. I can only calculate that such a thing will appear at the auction of Rashengtang!"
"If I want to know the specific form of that thing, I can only wait until I enter the Rasheng Hall auction to know where it is!"
Old Man Tianji shook his head, and then replied.
"So this is ah."
Venerable Poison felt a little pity, but there was nothing he could do because he didn't understand the art of deduction at all.
As for whether Old Man Tianji would know where that thing is and deliberately not tell him, this possibility is almost non-existent. The two are close friends of life and death. When they were young, they both put their lives in each other's hands. There is still some trust.
"Let's not talk about this for now. By the way, Old Poison, have you found out the news? Are you sure that only the master of Fanshan Hall, Shi Da, will be guarding the auction of Luosheng Hall this time?"
Old Man Tianji looked at Venerable Poison and asked.
"It is true that there is only Shi Da alone at the moment, but our sudden appearance to participate in the Rasheng Hall's auction this time may arouse Rasheng Hall's suspicion. I wonder if they will continue to send Dharma Realm experts over!"
Venerable Poison frowned without any trace, and then continued: "If Luoshengtang sends another Dharma Realm expert over, then our trip will be in trouble!"
"Tianji, can you deduce whether Rashengtang will send another Dharma Realm expert to the auction during this trip?"
When Old Man Tianji heard this, he shook his head and said, "Rashengtang's decision is not easy to deduce. I cannot deduce the decision of such a powerful force."
After hearing this, Venerable Poison frowned without any trace, and continued: "Then can you estimate that we can get things smoothly during this trip?"
"You can try this, but it has only been a while since the last deduction. I estimate that it will take two hours before the deduction can be carried out."
Old Man Tianji counted with his fingers, thought for a while and replied.
It turns out that Old Man Tianji cannot deduce at will. It must take a period of time before he can deduce again, and not everything can be deduced.
"Okay, Tianji, you can start the deduction in two hours."
Venerable Poison said.
"Um."
Old Man Tianji nodded.
Time flew by and two hours passed.
Old Man Tianji also slowly stood up from the ground. He looked at the sky and felt that two hours had passed.
"Old Poison, I can't be disturbed by others while I'm doing the deduction. You should be on guard around me."
Old Man Tianji looked at Venerable Poison and said.
"no problem!"
"As long as I'm here, not even a mosquito can get close to you!"
Venerable Poison looked at Old Man Tianji and said with assurance.
After Venerable Poison finished speaking, he waved his hand and deployed waves of sound-isolating formations and some psychedelic formations around him.
After doing all this, Venerable Du felt that there might be something missing, so he took out some jade slips with powerful formations from his arms, crushed the jade slips on the spot, and placed layers of formations around himself and Old Man Tianji!
"Tianji, I have arranged so many formations that even if the combined Dzogchen monks are fighting outside, they won't be able to affect you. You can rest assured and carry out the deduction!"
"If you are really worried, can I patrol the surrounding area again?!"
Venerable Poison looked at Old Man Tianji and smiled.
"good!"
"Then I'll start the deduction!"
Old Man Tianji nodded.
Next, Old Man Tianji turned his hand and took out a mysterious turtle shell from the storage ring. Due to the age, countless small cracks appeared in the turtle shell, as if it would shatter on the spot with just a light touch.
But if you look carefully, you can find countless black lights flowing in the cracks on this mysterious turtle shell...
Obviously, this mysterious turtle shell is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. In fact, if you think about it, how can the turtle shell used by the powerful in the Dharma Realm to deduce it be simple?
Old Man Tianji looked at the tortoise shell in front of him with a pious look on his face, "Ancestor bless me, may I be able to deduce the fate of the auction this time!"
After finishing speaking, Old Man Tianji stretched out his right hand, then gently tapped his index finger, and then bit his index finger open. In an instant, blood flowed down the wound...
Seeing this, Old Man Tianji quickly dropped blood on the mysterious turtle shell. The moment the blood touched the turtle shell, a black light burst out from the turtle shell, swallowing the blood in an instant.
Perhaps the black light was still unfinished, and continued to tear at Old Man Tianji's wounds. Old Man Tianji was obviously a strong man in the Dharma Realm, and this small injury was just an itch for him. But after the black light came into contact with Old Man Tianji's wounds, his face changed. Shaking, showing pain.
Obviously, the black light on the turtle shell is not as simple as imagined.
Venerable Du who was patrolling not far away saw this and opened his mouth, wanting to ask about the physical condition of Old Man Tianji, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up.
Because Old Man Tianji had already said before, don’t disturb him.
After Old Man Tianji lost about as much blood as a jug of wine, the black light seemed to be satisfied and gradually retreated into the gap in the turtle shell.
Upon seeing this, Old Man Tianji clasped his hands together and began to condense the mysterious seals one by one. As the seals appeared, the black light originally hidden in the cracks of the turtle shell gathered on the turtle shell again like a swimming fish. The next moment, These black lights rushed to the eyes of old man Tianji.
At this time, the world that Old Man Tianji saw had also undergone earth-shaking changes.
If the world that Old Man Tianji saw before was black, then he now saw a mysterious void.
In that void, he and Venerable Poison were running, and behind them, there seemed to be a vague figure chasing after them?
"Um?"
"If I guess correctly, this vague figure is Shi Da?"
Old man Tianji guessed in his heart.
"If we speculate according to the current situation, at the upcoming auction of Luosheng Hall, Lao Dudu and I will successfully obtain such things, and then successfully escape!"
Old Man Tianji said with some joy in his heart.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
An invisible shadow suddenly appeared in the mysterious void. There seemed to be a sword on the waist of the shadow...
Because of his appearance, Old Man Tianji and Master Poison in the mysterious void suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
"Who is this?"
Old Man Tianji was shocked.
According to his speculation, since he and Venerable Poison were blocked by others, it meant that this trip might have certain risks.
But what happened to him and Venerable Poison in the mysterious void? What exactly is going on?
"snort!"
"I want to see who will stop me and the old poison at the auction!"
Old Man Tianji suddenly opened his eyes, and with a little finger, he forced the black light from in front of his eyes back into the gap in the turtle shell.
"Tianji, is there any result?"
Venerable Poison, who was waiting on the side, saw Old Man Tianji open his eyes, and with a quick flash, he came to Old Man Tianji's side and asked curiously.
"Not yet. Originally, I saw that our ending was very good, but then someone appeared, and that person might ruin our plans or actions."
"So I have to deduce who that person is!"
Old Man Tianji said word by word.
"Then do you want to continue the deduction?"
"Aren't you afraid of backlash?"
Venerable Poison showed a trace of worry on his face.
"It's okay, because I took the initiative to withdraw from the deduction this time, so I can continue the deduction, but the only drawback is that I need to pay double the blood essence!"
Old Man Tianji shook his head and said.
"Tianji, I have a blood-restoring elixir here. Take it first. This will prevent you from entering a weak state to the greatest extent!"
Venerable Du flipped his hand, took out a blood-red pill from the storage ring, and handed it to Old Man Tianji.
"good."
Old Man Tianji did not refuse. He took the blood-red elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. With this blood-restoring elixir, Old Man Tianji's face temporarily regained some color.
"Old poisonous creature, you'd better go and stand by, I'm going to start the deduction!"
Old Man Tianji ordered.
"Okay, then be careful. If you encounter any problems, you must exit the deduction as soon as possible!"
Venerable Poison said with some worry.
"Well, I know how to control this!"
Old Man Tianji nodded, and after Venerable Poison left, he bit the index finger of his right hand again, and then dripped blood onto the turtle shell. Soon, the mysterious black light swam out from the gap in the turtle shell again, and in an instant , this black light entered the wound of Old Man Tianji, and a large amount of blood entered the black light.
With the loss of essence and blood, Old Man Tianji's complexion also began to become a little pale.
Seeing this, Venerable Poison not far away showed worry again on his face, but there was nothing he could do.
After a while, the black light finally faded away, and Old Man Tianji breathed a long sigh of relief.
Next, he quickly performed the seal technique, and this time the black light rushed directly into the eyes of old man Tianji!
Soon, the world that Old Man Tianji saw changed again, and the mysterious void appeared again. In the mysterious void, he and Venerable Poison continued to run. Behind them, there was a shadow chasing after them, which should be the main stone of Fanshan Hall. Da.
And after a while, the man blocking them appeared again.
This time, the man's figure gradually became clearer. The sword on his waist vaguely represented mountains and rivers, as well as flowers, birds, fish and insects. Then, Old Man Tianji discovered that there seemed to be a wine gourd on the man's waist. , but I can't see it very clearly...
Then, Old Man Tianji looked up, wanting to see what this man looked like...
