Volume II, Chapter 152: Treasure Map
Li Dazui glanced at the effect of his intelligence and was very satisfied.
It is also a kind of ability to tell such a piece of information that has already caused a storm in the city, so that this group of people think that they have heard some earth-shattering secrets.
After hearing Li Dazui's information, Ma Xie's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, that is, he immediately thought of the strange treasure in Shicheng, thinking that it was the thing mentioned in the treasure map, but he didn't expect it to be the legendary "Chixiao Divine Sword".
Ma Xie touched the sword heart of the "Overlord Flowing Fire" on his chest, and his heart was full of thoughts, because in the legend, the Overlord Flowing Fire was defeated by that Chixiao Sword.
"It's your enemy......" Ma Xie said to the bronze sword in his heart.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Ma Xie felt that the bronze sword seemed to move, as if it was responding to Ma Xie's thoughts.
Soon, there were more and more cultivators outside, and the news that Li Dazui had said before was also confirmed by other cultivators who came from Yueyue Mountain City.
Now the people in Banyue Mountain City are speculating about who leaked the secret of the birth of this treasure, it seems that this person not only has hands and eyes, but also has a deep heart, and it is obvious that he wants these forces of Banyue Mountain to also go to Shicheng to intervene.
"The Stone City Lord must have a headache right now. Ma Xie thought in his heart, no matter what, there will definitely be someone in Banyue Mountain City who will collect the treasure map in the end, and then rush to Stone City, plus the previous three factions, the small Stone City will definitely become their battlefield, and the Blood Killing Ancestor who has been entrenched in the north will probably not stand idly by.
"It seems that after this incident, I still have to go back to Stone City to see if there is anything I can do to help the Lord of Stone City. Ma Xie thought in his heart.
Walking on the streets of Panlong Town, there were already many cultivators at this time. Many practitioners asked for prices in front of those stalls, and some of them were happy to make deals, but most of them shook their heads and walked away.
Although the things here are cheap, most of them are not of the highest quality, and many stall owners still put fake things on top of them, that is, they are clearly slaughtering those practitioners who don't know anything.
Ma Xie and Jin Mushui wandered around the stall again, he wanted to see the weapon, and Jin Mushui wanted to find an elixir that could increase his physical strength.
The two could only separate and agreed to meet in Fang Cai's teahouse before dark.
At a few stalls at the end of the street, Ma Xie found a stall selling weapons.
On the top of the stall, there are all kinds of swords, long knives and other common weapons of different lengths, and blunt weapons such as sledgehammers and copper whips are hung on a wooden board next to it.
"Little brother, do you want to buy weapons? The weapons I have here are all made of dark iron, which is sturdy and durable, and they are not much worse than sharp weapons. The stall owner saw Ma Xie coming over and enthusiastically promoted it.
Ma Xie took out a long sword and looked at it. The sword was more than three feet long, but the blade was very narrow, Ma Xie tried to swing it in the air a few times, and felt that the sword was more than light and agile, and it was not calm enough, so he put it down again.
After trying several times in a row, Ma Xie couldn't find a satisfactory sword, so he could only walk away regretfully.
At this time, the stall owner saw that Ma Xie wanted to leave, so he quickly got up and grabbed Ma Xie and said mysteriously: "Little brother, don't worry, I just haven't bought anything at first, where are the good things on the stall? Wait a while, I'll show you a rare treasure!"
Ma Xie stopped his pace, watched the stall owner pull out a long and wide box from the bottom of the stall, and then quickly swept the dust on it and placed it in front of Ma Xie.
"I don't dare to say anything else, but this sword...... I did receive one a few days ago, you try this one. ”
Ma Xie opened the box, only to see a wide and long sword placed inside, which looked slightly smaller than the giant sword used by Zhou Tong, about six inches wide and four feet five long.
This size is not very common, and it is generally classified as a "big sword", Ma Xie has never used such a sword, and he is very curious, and wants to take it out to take a look, only to find out that this sword actually has no hilt.
"Is this sword only a blade?" Ma Xie asked.
The stall owner said embarrassedly: "It is true that there is only a sword blade, and the hilt of the sword has been removed by a bastard, but if you are satisfied, I can match you with one." ”
Ma Xie carefully picked up the blade, this sword is also made of pure black iron, although it looks huge, but the proportions are just right, it does not look bulky in the hand, and it also has a certain toughness, it can be called a good sword.
It's a pity that Ma Xie is not used to this kind of large-size sword, this kind of sword is generally a two-handed sword, the sword path is relatively single, and it can't give full play to the full strength of Ma Xie's swordsmanship, so Ma Xie doesn't really want to choose this sword.
"But this sword is very suitable for the play of the 'split' word. Ma Xie thought in his heart that if he really couldn't find a suitable weapon, this sword would also be a good choice.
"How much does this sword cost?" Ma Xie asked, if the price was right, he could use this sword to make do with it first.
The stall owner was very happy when he saw Ma Xie's intention, After all, although this thing was good, it had been backlogged in his hands for a long time and had not been sold, so he said: "If you sincerely ask for it, five taels of spirit stones will do." ”
Spirit stones, like silver among mortals, are traded for weight. Ma Xie touched his pocket, found the few spirit stones he had found on the top of the snow peak before, and took out a palm-sized piece from it and gave it to the stall owner.
The stall owner's eyes popped out when he saw such a big spirit stone, but when he got his hands on it, he found that there was not much spiritual energy in this spirit stone.
“...... I thought I had met some big high-roller, but he turned out to be a poor ghost like me!" The stall owner was a little disappointed, and carefully checked the spirit stone, but fortunately, the aura inside was worth the aura of five taels of spirit stones, so he accepted it.
Ma Xie asked the stall owner to find a long cloth, carefully wrapped the sword, which was only the blade, and then carried it on his back.
"Little brother, I think you're a good person, let's give you a chance!" the stall owner said again.
"What chance?" asked Ma Xie suspiciously.
The stall owner looked under the stall again and found a small box five inches long.
"This is a rare treasure! I don't even want to show it to ordinary people!" said the stall owner mysteriously.
Ma Xie thought to himself, you all know that I am a poor bastard, and you still show me rare treasures, and I don't know what to think.
But since the stall owner was so enthusiastic, Ma Xie reluctantly looked at it.
I saw the stall owner carefully open the box and take out a small jade sword from inside.
"Brother, this is a treasure! I see that you are also a sword lover, you must have heard of such a thing as 'sword heart'......"
"You mean, this is Kenshin?!" Ma Xie was shocked, he didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing in such a place.
The stall owner said, "It's like a fake sword heart! And it's a peerless divine weapon!"
"Is it ......?"
"That's right! It is the most dazzling of the fire-based divine weapons, the Chixiao Divine Sword that once defeated the world's number one demon, the 'Domineering Flame'!" the stall owner's eyes lit up, and he carefully handed the stone sword to Ma Xie.
Ma Xie held the stone sword in his hand, looked at it carefully, and found that the word "Chixiao" was indeed engraved on the stone sword.
"How about it! Is this a big opportunity? I'll count you as a pound of spirit stones, I see that you still have a few spirit stones in your pocket, it should be enough to pay! If it weren't for the fact that you are a sword lover, I wouldn't have offered this price!" said the stall owner with anticipation.
Ma Xie realized that the stall owner had taken a fancy to the few spirit stones he had left, so he waved his hand and said, "This kind of divine object, how can it be consumed by my generation, you better take it." ”
With that, he hurriedly left here.
The peddler put away the stone sword angrily, and said with a curse in his mouth: "Damn, I deceived Hou Laosan again, how can this thing be so easy to sell!
Ma Xie wandered around the other stalls, but there was nothing to sell, so he returned to the teahouse.
The teahouse was already full of people, and Ma Xie finally found a secluded corner to do it.
Everyone was talking about what was happening in the city of Banyue Mountain, but they didn't expect that the treasure map made of a few rags would cause such an uproar, and what everyone never expected was that this matter had a major turn for the better this afternoon.
It turned out that this afternoon, some shops in Banyue Mountain City openly sold the "Treasure Map" and the "Sword Heart" of the Chixiao Sword.
At first, several major forces didn't care, because this kind of thing is too common, a rare treasure is born, there are often many people who follow the trend, even if many people know that these things can't be true, they will be willing to pay to buy it to try their luck.
In particular, the so-called "sword heart" of the Chixiao Sword is available in all kinds, stone, iron, bronze, and even made with some precious materials, which are everywhere in the city of Moonlight Mountain overnight.
Those high-level executives who are bent on treasure hunting naturally don't pay attention to this kind of thing, but when they see the "treasure map" sold in the market, they finally can't sit still.
I didn't expect the treasure map sold in large quantities to be completely consistent with the broken piece in my hand!
In other words, although Kenshin is fake, the treasure map in this world is indeed genuine.
This caused an uproar! Only then did the four major gangs realize that they had been tricked.
This person first gave each of the four families a treasure map, let them fight among themselves, and then released the real treasure map on a large scale, just to muddy the water of Banyue Mountain City.
I don't know what this person thinks, if his identity is discovered, not only Banyue Mountain City, but also the three major sects will not let him go, so that all the forces in the entire north will be offended by him.
The people were talking about this man of God, because it seemed that it could do nothing but muddy the waters.
All of a sudden, the situation in the city changed suddenly, and the four major gangs stopped fighting and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
At first, they tried to block the news as much as possible, and at the same time released more fake treasure maps to confuse the public, and all kinds of treasure maps were all over the city for a while, and it was difficult for the house to distinguish the real from the fake.
However, there are still many people who believe that the treasure map that appeared for the first time is real, because there is constantly news coming out from within the four major gangs, and this first batch of treasure maps is indeed exactly the same as the one in the hands of the four major gangs.
Seeing that they couldn't hide it, the four major gangs didn't do anything and issued a chase order, vowing to find this person who was sending treasure maps everywhere.
In addition to the four major gangs, other forces in Banyue Mountain City were also involved, either wanting to get a piece of the pie, or wanting to take the opportunity to make some gains, and even the Purple Immortal Sect couldn't sit still.
At this time, the matter of the treasure in Shicheng seemed to be impossible to hide, and the most annoying person was none other than the Purple Immortal Sect who first discovered the treasure!
Originally, it was already the bottom line of the Purple Immortal Sect to involve the other two sects, but looking at the current situation, all the big and small forces in the north of the Jin Kingdom actually wanted to participate, how could this be tolerated by the Purple Immortal Sect?
The strange treasure has not come out, the war has come, this time the city of Banyue Mountain is completely chaotic, and all the big forces are looking for this person who will send the treasure map everywhere, and they want to kill him quickly.
Of course, this can only solve the momentary anger, and it is also a superficial phenomenon, and the real question that makes several major forces concerned is, at this moment, how can they stand out from so many forces and seize the treasure?
