Chapter 375 Buddha Statues and Secret Techniques
At this time, Ximen Hao stood in front of the main seat, glanced around the people in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Actually, I invite you fellow Taoists to come here today. In addition to drinking and having fun, there is another thing. That is, our city lord It’s an auction held in the mansion.”
Liang Yan had long heard from Jin Yuye that during the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion, there would be an auction hosted privately by Ximen Hao. Although he didn't have anything in urgent need except the monkey hair of the Four Seasons Split Flame Monkey, he was happy to have such an opportunity.
Seeing that everyone's interest was aroused, Ximen Hao immediately stretched out his hands and struck three times in mid-air. Immediately, two graceful female cultivators in red clothes carried a large golden table inside.
The two female nuns placed the golden table in the middle of the courtyard. Everyone looked closely and saw a statue of Maitreya placed on the golden table.
This fat Maitreya is carved lifelike. Not only does he have a smile on his face, but he also bares his breasts and wears sandals. He sits cross-legged on the table and looks like he is looking at all living beings with a smile.
"This is the 'Danxin Ancient Buddha Statue'. It can be powerful or small. Keeping it by your side on weekdays can calm your mind and prevent it from being disturbed by evil spells. If it is released to the enemy, it is dedicated to destroying evil and illusions. It is a rare thing." The treasure you got!" Ximen Hao looked at everyone and said loudly.
As soon as he said this, everyone was amazed. You know that this thing can play the role of destroying evil just by carrying it around. How can it not make people excited?
Liang Yan sat aside, secretly using his magical power, gathering a touch of blue spiritual power in his eyes, and then secretly looked at the ancient Buddha. But at this glance, I found that the Buddha statue opposite was full of energy and vitality, as if it was one whole body, and there was no clue about it. I couldn't help but secretly praise in my heart: "It's really a good product!"
At this time, everyone also used their own methods to secretly estimate the price of the Buddha statue. Seeing that the time was almost up, Ximen Hao said loudly: "The starting price of this object is two thousand spiritual stones. Every time the price is increased, it must not be lower than One hundred spiritual stones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Han Fei say coldly: "Han wants 2,100 spiritual stones!"
"Giggle, Brother Han is so generous. It's just that this ancient Buddha is worth a lot of money. Brother Han only paid two thousand one, which is too little." The person who spoke was Gou Shishuang, and she smiled sweetly, He stretched out two green and green jade fingers and said: "The price of my body is plus Brother Han's price, plus two hundred!"
"you!"
Han Fei's eyes widened, obviously unhappy.
He originally wanted to say that you are a witch who practices charm and illusion, but you can't even hide when you see this kind of Buddhist treasure that is designed to defeat your magic. Why are you bidding for it with me today? But this person had just suffered a big loss, and when he rolled his eyes, he seemed to remember something. In the end, he did not say such angry words.
Han Fei crossed his arms and snorted coldly. He returned to his previous indifferent attitude and stopped competing. But while he didn't speak, the deputy city lord Shi Guanghan, who had always been relatively low-key, spoke leisurely:
"Three thousand spiritual stones! Fairy Gou, Shi has encountered some problems in his skills recently. It just so happens that this Buddha statue can help me solve a problem. I wonder if I can give Shi some face?"
When Gou Shishuang saw this person speaking, her eyes rolled around, and the next moment she smiled and said, "Hee hee! Since it's fellow Taoist Shi who speaks, then it's okay for the little girl to not want this Buddha statue!"
Liang Yan has been sitting at the banquet. Although this Buddha statue is of extraordinary quality, it is not too necessary for him to possess Buddhist magical powers such as Huhun Gong. And the price is indeed a bit high for him.
Ximen Hao seemed quite satisfied when he saw that the Buddha statue had been sold for three thousand pieces of spiritual stones. In fact, this time is not so much an auction as a sale of stolen goods.
As the city lord assigned here by Huang Jue Palace, he must have done a lot of things overtly and covertly over the years, not to mention that he is now polite to Liang Yan and others, and seems to be easy to talk to. But this is because he has something to ask for, and because everyone is of decent strength, he treats them politely.
If in normal times, Ximen Hao controlled a city and ordered hundreds of monks, how could he be a talkative character? Among them, there were probably many things like secretly killing one or two casual cultivators to seize treasures, but they were all hidden from the light. The auction held here now is naturally a gathering for the sale of stolen goods, and all the profits will belong to him, Ximen Hao.
Seeing that the first auction item sold for three thousand spiritual stones, Ximen Hao was quite happy. He taught Shi Guanghan the secret to collecting Buddha statues. At that time, Guanghan just listened once and nodded silently. Then he muttered something in his mouth, raised his hand to cast a spell, and the "Ancient Buddha Statue of Danxin" immediately started to spin rapidly on the spot, getting smaller and smaller, and suddenly shrunk to the size of a palm.
Shi Guanghan raised his hand again, and the ancient Buddha statue flew towards him. He gently took it and hung it casually on his waist.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist Shi!"
When Ximen Hao saw Shi Guanghan handing over the spirit stone, he smiled slightly and said, "Now please bring out our second auction item. This is actually a book of spiritual training called "Nine Cauldrons of Nourishing the Spirit", which comes from the Kingdom of Wu, which has been destroyed. The Jiuding Sect of the Demonic Dao Sect.”
"Although this technique is a secret technique of the Demon Sect, it does not require the spiritual power of the Demon Sect to practice. Every time a practitioner forms a cauldron in his spiritual consciousness, he can increase the sea of divine consciousness by 10%. When the nine cauldrons are gathered together, , the Divine Consciousness Sea can be more than doubled! Okay, without further ado, the starting price of this object is 2,500 spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 100!"
As soon as Ximen Hao said this, Liang Yan, who was originally uninterested, immediately became a little excited.
You must know that he now has good attainments in law, body, and sword, but his spiritual consciousness has always been his weakness.
Although it is not very bad, compared to the other three, the power of my own consciousness is really mediocre.
Before Liang Yan entered the foundation building, he could still discern the subtleties with the power of his six senses formed by practicing Hun Hun Gong. Things within a radius of dozens of feet could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.
But after he stepped into the foundation building and his consciousness could be released outside the body, he felt more and more that his observation skills were insufficient. This feeling will become more obvious as his cultivation improves.
At the later stage of foundation building, the monk's spiritual consciousness can even cover several miles. He only relies on his Hun Kung Fu, and no matter how "smart his ears and eyes" are, he can only control the distance of tens of feet around him. Wouldn't it be too much of a disadvantage to fight with others under such a disparity?
When Liang Yan thought of this, he didn't play any hard-to-get tricks, but directly shouted: "Three thousand and five hundred spiritual stones, Liang wants this secret book!"
