Chapter 19 Something Unexpected Happened
Early on the third day, Liang Yan had already washed and dressed, and was waiting in front of Lin Feiyuan early.
When Lin Fei went out, he saw Liang Yan already waiting at the door. He nodded slightly to him, then flicked his sleeves and a mechanical wooden turtle flew out of it. In mid-air, he only heard a clicking sound, and suddenly it was long. As big as a roof.
The mechanical wooden turtle lay prone on the ground. Lin Fei and Liang Yan jumped on the wooden turtle. With a pinch of magic in his hand, the wooden turtle quickly crawled forward and reached the entrance of the valley in a blink of an eye. The wooden turtle turned into a wooden boat and floated forward carrying the two of them.
Now Liang Yan is no longer what he was back then. Naturally, he knows that the waterfalls and rivers he saw when he entered the valley are all part of the formation to protect the sect, so no matter how the surrounding scenery changes, he will not be as frightened as before.
After the two of them left Yunping Mountain, Lin Fei immediately controlled the wooden turtle to fly into the air and galloped towards Cuishan.
Seven days later.
The two landed at the top of Cuishan Mountain. At this time, there were several people waiting nearby. These people were all qi-training monks. When they saw Lin Fei approaching, they hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."
Lin Fei nodded casually and said, "It's just a sect mission."
After saying that, he didn't stay much and took Liang Yan directly to the auction venue, which was the same cave where Liang Yan bought the wooden fish.
After Lin Fei took him through a circle, he stopped at the entrance of the cave and asked with a smile: "How are you, are you sure about setting up the formation here?"
Liang Yan was already 90% sure, but he still said: "Disciple will do his best."
"Then start preparing for the layout. The auction will be held at midnight the day after tomorrow, so you don't have much time left. As for the materials for setting up the formation, don't worry. If you need anything, just ask those people just now."
Liang Yan nodded in agreement. Lin Fei glanced at him and said nothing more. Instead, he returned to the vermilion compound on the top of the mountain to sit quietly and recuperate.
For an auction like this, he usually doesn't need to do anything. All related matters are completed by the sect's branch here and some small sects around it. All he has to do is show up at the auction site. , to scare some busy people or people with evil intentions.
After Liang Yan asked the people in the branch for all the materials, he also started to set up the Sky Eye Formation. As the name suggests, the Sky Eye Array requires a spiritual weapon with detection capabilities as the array eye. Liang Yan chose a Bagua mirror. There are Taoist Bagua symbols engraved around it, and a small mirror is engraved in the middle.
The layout of formations also varies depending on the time and place. Liang Yan set up the formation on the ground, took two formation beads and eight formation flags, and carved formation patterns on the ground. What is adopted is the "wind and earth view" in the hexagram image of Yi hexagram. This hexagram is a hexagram with different hexagrams overlapping each other, with the lower Kun and the upper Xun, and the wind moves on the ground. The Guan and Lin hexagrams are comprehensive hexagrams and used interchangeably. Symbolism: Those above are optimistic about the world, while those below are obedient and submissive.
That is to say, the precious mirror hanging high at the door in the formation is like a superior supervisory messenger; the people entering the formation are like subordinate subjects. Those who are above are enlightened, those who are below are obedient. All those who enter the formation, all means of hiding, will be invisible under the precious mirror.
Although the Sky Eye Formation is not an extremely clever formation, it is by no means easy to learn. Liang Yan has been studying formations for a long time, coupled with his talent and intelligence, what he has learned and thought has actually reached an appalling level, but he doesn't know it yet. At this time, he slightly modified the Sky Eye Formation and arranged it according to the location. If there was a formation here, everyone would definitely be alarmed by him.
The next afternoon, just when Liang Yan finished carving the last formation pattern. A voice of admiration came from behind: "I didn't expect that nephew Liang Xian is so talented that he could make such achievements in the formation."
Liang Yan turned around and saw that the person speaking was Lin Fei.
It turned out that he had nothing to do, so he went to inspect the venue and saw the Sky Eye Formation deployed by Liang Yan. Although he did not understand the formation, he could clearly feel that this formation brought a sense of surveillance and detection to him. The feeling was so great that even a monk in the middle stage of foundation building couldn't handle it easily.
"Okay, okay! Nephew Liang has this talent. I think a six-year appointment is extremely simple for you."
"Uncle Lin is ridiculous. In fact, this disciple doesn't have much confidence in the six-year agreement."
Lin Fei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Time is running out, you have worked hard to set up the formation alone, so just follow me back to the branch to rest for a day. Tomorrow night, I hope Nephew Liang can gain something from this place."
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Then let me borrow the good words from Master Lin."
The two returned to the mountaintop branch together, and Liang Yan meditated in his room. Unknowingly, the day passed, and at night the next day, Liang Yan followed Lin Fei to the auction venue.
Lin Fei had a VIP seat at the auction venue. After entering, he greeted Liang Yan and left. Liang Yan found a seat near the front alone.
There seemed to be many more people coming to the auction this time than the previous one. The auction was about to start, and there was still an endless stream of people entering the door.
After a while, when the hall was almost full, Lin Fei flew out of the VIP seats and landed on the square platform in the middle of the venue. After a brief introduction like the last auction, he left. However, the red-nosed old man from last time was replaced by a black-faced man as the host of the auction.
"Everyone," the black-faced man cleared his throat and said loudly, "I won't go into too much gossip. The first lot in today's auction is a mid-grade Confucian spiritual weapon, the Mountain and River Fan! "
As he spoke, a female cultivator came onto the stage dragging a treasure box. The black-faced man opened the treasure box and took out the Shanhe Fan. When I opened it, I saw a majestic mountain painted in the style of ink and wash, with nine rivers in the mountain vividly displayed. Waves of extraordinary spiritual energy came from above.
The black-faced man didn't say anything. He used the magic in his hand and struck a blow at the trial stone used for demonstration. In an instant, a strong wind roared and a breath of mountains and rivers came out, knocking out the pits on the trial stone. .
Everyone in the audience nodded secretly when they saw the power of the spiritual weapon. You must know that the trial stone is made of special materials, and a blow from a monk during the normal Qi training period cannot leave the slightest trace on it. This black-faced man has not refined the treasure fan, but the power of a fan that he can activate at will has such power. How can he not make their hearts flutter?
The black-faced man put away the Mountain and River Fan after one blow and said calmly: "The Mountain and River Fan stimulates the cultivation of seven levels of Qi. The starting price is three hundred spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than twenty spirit stones."
Everyone in the audience immediately raised the price crazily. Only Liang Yan closed his eyes and calmed down, as if he hadn't heard anything. He has only one purpose for this trip, and that is: Obstacle Breaking Pill. He is bound to win this!
The lots on the stage were bought one after another, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 lots were sold. Liang Yan couldn't help but feel a little impatient. Is there really no barrier-breaking pill in this auction?
Just when he was feeling uneasy, he heard the black-faced man say on the stage: "The next auction item will be familiar to everyone. It is a pill that we can take during the Qi refining period, the Barrier-Breaking Pill!" Then he took a small white jade bottle from the female cultivator who came on stage. Take out a white pill from the bottle and show it to everyone.
"It is indeed a barrier-breaking pill!"
"This Barrier-Breaking Pill is very helpful in breaking through realm bottlenecks, so you might consider getting it." Everyone in the audience was talking about it.
"One barrier-breaking pill, the starting price is fifty spirit stones, each increase in price must not be less than five spirit stones!"
"I want fifty spiritual stones!" Someone in the audience immediately shouted
"I'll give you fifty-five spiritual stones!"
"Sixty-five spiritual stones!"
Just as everyone was raising the price, a young man's voice suddenly came and said: "I will offer you a hundred spiritual stones!"
As soon as these words came out, the bidding in the audience suddenly stopped. You must know that although the barrier-breaking pill is good, the price of one hundred spiritual stones has already exceeded the value of this pill, and the bidder obviously has no interest in the pill. The medicine is inevitable.
The bidder was none other than Liang Yan. He thought that he had to bid for the Barrier-Breaking Pill anyway, so he might as well seize the opportunity first and directly bid for a hundred spiritual stones to avoid some people's competition.
The black-faced man saw that everyone in the audience stopped bidding. After waiting for a while, he said: "Since no one bids anymore, then..."
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted: "One hundred and fifty spiritual stones!". The voice was clear and sweet, and it turned out to be a woman.
Liang Yan frowned, turned around and saw a girl in white sitting in the corner of the hall, with a slim figure and skin as white as snow. Even though her face is covered with white gauze, she can still feel that she is a stunning beauty.
Liang Yan was secretly annoyed. After a moment of melancholy, he still shouted: "One hundred and sixty!"
"Two hundred and six!"
This time the woman didn't pause at all, and then Liang Yan made a bid, and added a hundred spiritual stones to his bid.
Liang Yan turned around and glared angrily. The woman was not afraid at all and looked at each other calmly. There was even a hint of teasing in her eyes.
