Chapter 349: Phantom Traces

"You mean there are things similar to the 'immortal beads' among the monks you found?" Yize looked surprised. He really didn't know about this. They were just looking for clues. As he said, a Buddha There are a lot of things in the storage bag. I really don't know if the other party killed someone in revenge, took the storage bag conveniently, or came here to find something.

Looking at the other party's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Wang Lang thought to himself, "Does he really not know? Or is this just a coincidence."

In fact, regarding the recent events in the four major sect areas, the senior officials of the four sects already knew that a force was looking for something and had some clues about it, but they would not mention it to the monks below. Instead, they would only strengthen manpower to investigate. At the same time, some people began to investigate. The murderer has been found in a targeted manner, and many people have been traced and killed. At most, only the Jindan monks of the sect are vaguely aware of these circumstances. People with statuses like Yize and Wang Lang cannot know.

However, during Wang Lang's recent investigation, he found that most of the people who were missing or killed were in important positions in the sect, and one thing that made Wang Lang feel strange was that among these people, they didn't have ball-like magic weapons in their hands. Things like orbs would be lost in the sects he was guarding after death. Although this was only two of the six sects he investigated, but coupled with the death of Pure Land Sect Ichihiro, he unconsciously wanted to contact Get up to confirm your guess.

After all, Wang Lang was Wang Lang. He was a proud man of his generation, and his intelligence was unparalleled by ordinary people. Although no senior sect gave any hint, they were just people sent by the sect to collect intelligence, but he could still see something. Clues.

Yize looked at Wang Lang and finally said, "Uncle Yiguang's 'immortal descending bead' was really lost together with the storage bag. Is this a coincidence? After all, Buddhists have many round bead-type magic weapons, such as holding beads, Hanging beads, matching beads, etc., if used as magic weapons, it is normal for people to kill and steal goods. "

"Have you lost the string of Buddhist beads that Uncle Yiguang had on you?" Wang Lang asked. He knew that even if the monk's string of Buddhist beads was not a magic weapon, it was often an extraordinary spiritual treasure, something that could store the power of mind, and was an important part of the Pure Land Sect. A very important thing for a monk.

"That's not true, eh? Master Yiguang's Buddhist beads string has cultivated mind power for more than a hundred years, and it is a treasure that is no less valuable than a magic weapon? Fellow Daoist Wang, what's the news over there? Can't it be just because it's just a stone bead? With this idea, there will still be coincidences. Maybe the other party is killing people and plundering money, but they just don't know the magical effect of Buddhist beads." Yize was shocked at first, but he calmed down immediately. He is a Zen monk. My meditation skills are very strong. Although I had an idea to report it to Master Song immediately, I still wanted to ask in detail.

Wang Lang smiled slightly, "It's not as simple as just one stone bead. In a sect I checked..."

In a separate courtyard in the north of Yuguan City, two Buddhas sat cross-legged facing each other.

"Senior Brother Liosong, do these Arhats really say that Junior Brother Yiguang's 'immortal pearl' is the target?" A slender old monk looked at a middle-aged monk opposite.

"Amito

Buddha, Junior Brother Yifa, this matter is certain. In fact, the temple already knew that the other party was looking for something similar to a round bead. However, this is a complicated matter for the Pure Land Sect. The disciples in the temple who use beads as magic weapons have no There are tens of thousands, and there are thousands. Especially the Buddhist beads we cultivate are things that can store the power of mind. It is impossible for Wu Cong to collect all the Buddhist beads, round beads, magic weapons, and spiritual treasures. "Liao Song said with his palms together.

"Have there been any progress or news from the other three sects?" a pharaoh said, raising his long eyebrows.

"Junior brother, I know very little. Uncle Fan is in charge of everything. It is said that Uncle Mo Qing of the Demon Sect recently retrieved an object from a Taoist temple. It seems to be the eyeball of a certain stone sculpture, which can make a Yuan Yuan You can imagine the importance attached to Ying going there in person, but I don’t know the specific circumstances.”

"In this way, the bead-like magic weapon the other party is looking for really contains a huge secret. Otherwise, how could he not hesitate to expose his identity and kill people everywhere, especially the four sects. Alas, speaking of this, Senior Brother, Junior Brother Yiguang, why did you come here in such a hurry? I have sent people out to search for the clues you mentioned, but there is no such slut as you mentioned." The old monk raised his eyebrows. He picked it up, his eyes showing murderous intent.

"Alas, pink skull, fairy flesh and rotten flesh, but Junior Brother Yiguang is lost in his state of mind. He was cast into the 'Seven Mysterious Yin Technique' and fell into an illusion long ago, taking away all the essence and yang. This skill has been lost to thousands of people. Years ago, now it comes to the mortal world again, but it is another catastrophe.

Junior brother, this person appeared nearby two days ago, and came here from Daning City. He was either here for something like the 'Falling Immortal Bead', or he was looking for a target to swallow Jingyang to improve his cultivation. Therefore, you must strictly instruct the disciples in the temple to be on guard against any abnormal people approaching them.

If it's the former, send a disciple to check all the stores and give me a result within half a day to see if there is anyone suspicious. As for the latter, I, a disciple of the Pure Land Sect, are not allowed to go out alone at will in the near future, and all female cultivators entering and leaving the city must be strictly checked. You and I should go out of the city now to see where the woman used to be. "

Li Yan didn't know that he could still meet his old friend here, but even if he faced Wang Lang directly, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him immediately.

Li Yan soon arrived at the auction house in the city. Looking up, it was indeed very impressive. It was built with a huge amount of money. Although there were monks coming and going at the door of the auction house, not many people entered. There were three people at the door. Li Yan was stunned by the big character "Singing Club" at first.

Li Yan knew what this meant. "Singing clothes" is actually the same thing as "auction". In ancient times, monks bidding and selling items were called "singing clothes", and the gathering place was called "singing clothes meeting" or "singing clothes meeting". "Singing field" is a term used to describe the bidding and selling of clothes in the mortal world, while "auction" is what monks from other lands call it.

Dharma has only gradually been used in terms that outsiders can understand as they interact with demons, humans, and monks from other places. However, in some areas with long traditions, the term "singing clothes" is still used. The word "singing clothes" is used here, which only shows that the power behind this auction house is extremely ancient, and ancient power often represents power. If an auction is run by a powerful power, of course the treasures will be guaranteed to a certain extent. This makes Li Yan couldn't help but have expectations in his heart.

"The force behind the auction house here may be the Pure Land Sect, but not necessarily. Otherwise, why would there still be such an ancient title!" Li Yan thought to himself.

There were only two Qi Condensation Stage monks standing at the door talking. Li Yan walked to the door without hesitation and started asking questions. Sure enough, the auction will be held the day after tomorrow. Most of the people who occasionally appear here are merchants who are sending items for auction the day after tomorrow. Others are the deacons at the auction. But what exactly are going to be auctioned? Those two people. He only had a rough idea, but there was indeed news about crystal bone water, which made Li Yan very happy.

After Li Yan asked for the information, he was somewhat glad that he came over to ask for details first. Not just any monk could enter the auction here. First of all, he had to be at the foundation building stage or above; secondly, each person needed to pay in advance. Fifty spiritual stones, no matter whether you decide to auction them or not, or whether you get what you want, these spiritual stones will not be returned. This alone will deter some monks who want to join in the fun and expand their horizons. When Li Yan asked, there were only seventeen people left, and Li Yan secretly sighed at how easy it was to make money at the auction.

Now that there is news about the appearance of "Crystal Bone Water", Li Yan has to hand over fifty low-level spiritual stones to the other party no matter how reluctant he is, and then exchanges the other party's hand for a token engraved with a two-headed pangolin. Yan took another look at the back of the token. There were three exquisite characters on it, "Singing Club", which were the same as the three characters on the doorstep Li Yan had erected.

"If it weren't for the property bought by the Pure Land Sect, it would be extraordinary to be able to open an exclusive business in such an important city of cultivating immortals." Li Yan thought to himself before turning around and leaving.

Next, of course, Li Yan would not let go of the market here. He spent half a day going in and out of the market and shops in the city. Li Yan really got an unexpected harvest. He actually saw two kinds of refining. He immediately bought the auxiliary materials for "Gui Yi Fen Shui Gui". As for the cultivation techniques and magic weapons, there were also a dazzling array of them, with high and low quality. Li Yan looked around, but there was nothing that matched his own techniques. , and most of them, if you look closely, seem to be a bit exaggerated to exaggerate the power of the skills and magic weapons, but this is also reasonable. Good things are usually bought by people as soon as they appear. After all, there are not many people who can pick up the leaks. Although there are several magic weapons, Li Yan thinks they are pretty good, but the prices are ridiculously expensive. These are not necessary items for him, so he cannot waste spiritual stones.

In fact, Li Yan can buy two kinds of auxiliary materials here, but Sun Guoshu only occasionally saw one kind in the market near the sect. It cannot be said that the market in the sect is not as good as the pure land sect.

Yes, this is related to the incompatibility between the two sects' concepts. When Li Yan was in the sect, he went to Peiyangfang City with Lin Daqiao and Wen Xinliang. The Immortal Cultivation Forces established themselves, and the Demon Sect itself would not build a city. At most, they would only station their own monks in larger gathering places for cultivating immortals. However, in large gathering places for cultivating immortals, the Demon Sect was not allowed to be near the mountain gate. It was established, so Li Yan needed to go far away to find it. But the Pure Land Sect is different. They want to practice telekinesis. The closer the city is to the sect, the better. The more cities the better. Moreover, the Pure Land Sect will also spend huge sums of money to build temples and new cities, so there will naturally be more cities. got up.

In this way, when Li Yan was looking for some suitable things, he also selectively sold the things he had recently acquired but did not need. He actually got more than 30,000 spirit stones. Most of the spirit stones here were It comes from the He brothers. Their magic pills are expensive. The most important ones are the green abacus and the damaged mace. These two magic weapons have yielded more than 20,000 spiritual stones. The magic weapon is originally It is an extremely expensive thing, otherwise it is just thousands of spirit stones. I think that ordinary monks can afford it after decades of accumulation. However, this is not the case. Just refining the raw materials for an ordinary magic weapon requires thousands of dollars. Thousands of dollars, not to mention the expensive fees required to pay the master of the weapon refinement. A finished product is of course expensive, but what the monks often find may not be suitable for their own use.

The green abacus was in excellent condition. Li Yan went to several shops and sold it for more than 18,000 spiritual stones. However, the mace was damaged due to the self-explosion of the Azure Wolf weapon spirit inside. However, the material of the mace itself is still left. If a demon cultivator can find a demon beast soul to re-sacrifice and warm up, it can still slowly recover, but this process is a bit long, but even if the mace is The rods were melted and turned into refining materials for sale, and the price was not too low. In the end, 7,000 spiritual stones were sold.

In the evening, Li Yan found an inn in the city and stayed there. Very few monks were willing to live with their companions, unless they were cultivators such as couples with extremely close relationships. Therefore, most of the inns for cultivators were very large. It is usually a small courtyard or a single room, but the price is also very expensive. If you can't bear the spirit stone, you can go out of the city and find a place in the mountains to rest.

Li Yan was not a big spender, so he did not choose a separate courtyard, but just stayed in a single room in an inn. Even in this single room, there was only a bed, a table and a chair, which was enough for one night.

Ten low-level spiritual stones are required, plus the three low-level spiritual stones paid in the temple when entering the city. Thirteen spiritual stones are needed on the first day of living in the city without eating or drinking. This is not suitable for low-level monks or some casual cultivators. He said that he would not enter the city easily.

However, since the spirit stone has been spent, even if it is a simple single-room house, the sound insulation protection array inside is still good. People inside cannot easily enter without a monk attacking. This fact makes Li Yan quite satisfied.
