82 days
It is said that from a bird's-eye view, the entire Dayang Mountain Range is like a bullock. From Niuwei Village to Niutou Town, there are 100 miles of road. The mountain road was winding and difficult, Cao Chen rode his bicycle, set off in the morning, and did not arrive at Niutou Town until the evening.
Within a radius of 100 miles, it is probably the most prosperous town of Niutou.
Seeing that the Hundred Flowers Festival is approaching, the doors of the shops in the town have been hung with red lanterns, and the door frames are pasted with couplets to celebrate the new festival. Promotions, discounts, big deals and the like are shouting one after another.
There is no bigger festival than the Hundred Flowers Festival.
Even though Niutou Town is extremely poor, there are always a few powerful families who will hold a ring competition before and after the festival, or take a group of singers and dancers to perform. Entertainment items such as rings, lantern riddles, and magic weapon auctions, which are rarely seen on weekdays, will also appear. Although there are still three days before the Hundred Flowers Festival, Niutou Town is still lively and festive.
Cao Chen wandered around several material shops, did not find the materials he needed, was a little disappointed, and unconsciously shook into the auction hall.
As in previous years, the auction starts three days before the Hundred Flowers Festival, and it stands to reason that there will be nothing good in the first three days. The real good things are all used for the finale, and they will always appear on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival.
But even so, the auction hall was still full of people. After all, not everyone covets the finale of the good thing, and it is enough to find a magic weapon or material that you can't buy on weekdays.
Cao Chen first took a look at the auction flow chart, and then followed the crowd and walked around the magic weapon display area. These things that are about to be auctioned are all imprisoned on the exhibition stand by the formation, which can be seen by anyone, and even view the exhibits through spiritual power, but they can definitely not be taken away.
Cao Chen followed the crowd queuing up to view the exhibits, and when he saw the fourth exhibit, his face showed joy.
Dementors!
One of the Souls.
Millennial Dementor Grass was born.
Heaven and earth are all evil. The heavens and the earth are evil, and the evil spirit is too heavy, and it is generally difficult for people to use it. And the soul evil, although it is the most evil, can be refined and turned into useful things.
This kind of thing is exactly what Cao Chen needs.
It's just that after glancing at the starting price, Cao Chen couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Five four-grade spars?" For the current Cao Chen, it is definitely a sky-high price.
Originally, when he was at the Dragon Gate Inn, he had accumulated some spars, but in the past six months, in order to heal Chen Zhao, he had almost spent all of them. Chen Zhao's kid is also a royal concubine, and he doesn't even have any savings, not even a little valuable material.
Gotta find a way to get some hedrons.
Cao Chen estimated the time, and knew that there was still a lot of time to auction the Dementor, so he turned around and walked out of the auction hall.
The streets are full of people, and all kinds of vendors are shouting, waiting for customers to fill their doors. On a chic small building not far away, several girls with good looks were waving to the cultivators passing by, "Real people, do you want to come up for double cultivation." "Looking at their red faces, it is obvious that today's income is good.
It's just that Cao Chen is not interested in making this kind of money, so after thinking about it, she walked straight to a pawnshop at the interface.
The counter of the pawnshop is much higher than that of other shops, which is called "a head above the people". Although Cao Chen has grown over the years, he is still not as tall as the counter.
Cao Chen raised his face and yelled at the guy inside, "Be something." ”
"What should the guest officer be?" The guy greeted him with a smile.
Cao Chen took out the Qianye knife from the storage ring and placed it on the counter.
The guy picked up the Qianye knife, looked at it, and pouted, "The materials used are all good, and the refining techniques are also excellent, but the formation in this knife really doesn't know what to do." ”
That's not nonsense. The Chiba Knife is the best of the spiritual magic weapons, but in the cultivation world full of anti-spirits, this spiritual magic weapon is really useless.
"I'll give you a second-grade spar. How is it? The guy said.
The corners of Cao Chen's mouth twitched, he resisted the urge to scold, took back the Qianye knife, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the Weeping Blood Sword, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still put the Weeping Blood Sword away. This sword is too evil, I am afraid that it will be pawned out, and when I leave, it will fly back again, and when the time comes, I will inevitably have some disputes with this pawnshop.
After thinking about it, Cao Chen took out the dragon slaying knife.
When the guy saw the dragon slaying knife, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Guest officer later." With that, the guy picked up the dragon slayer knife and turned to leave.
A moment later, an old man with a dragon slayer knife led the fellow back. Glancing at Cao Chen, the old man said, "This guest officer, do you want to pawn this knife?" ”
"Hmm."
"I don't know how many spars the guest officer needs, is it alive or dead?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Live, three years, after three years, Your Excellency has gathered enough spars, and you can redeem this knife. If you die, the price can be higher, but it is equivalent to selling, this knife, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Cao Chen thought for a while and said, "How much do you live?" How much should I die? ”
"If you live it......" the old man pondered for a moment and said, "Two four-grade spars." ”
"What about death?"
"Five fourth-grade hedrons."
Cao Chen frowned and said, "It's too little." ”
The starting price of the dementor is five fourth-grade spars, and if the price is raised, according to the market of this world, it may be raised to ten.
"Twenty!" Cao Chen said.
The old man was stunned for a moment, laughed, and said, "The guest officer said that he laughed, the essence of this knife is actually average, if it weren't for the sake of this dragon's eye, don't say that five four-grade spars, one is not worth it." In addition, this dragon eye is actually very ordinary. The luster is a little dim, and the evil spirit seems to be much weaker, thinking that it is the dragon eye of an unsuccessful little dragon. The quality of the lombon is not good, and the spirit formed will naturally not be too good. Such...... Six, no more. ”
Cao Chen couldn't help but be happy, "The little dragon that doesn't make it? This is the dragon eye that hates the prince of Tianlong Xuan, you don't have to coax me, the dragon eye is shiny and very good, but it is dull, it does not mean that it is not good. ”
"Away from hating the sky?" The old man smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "The guest officer laughed again, since more than 30,000 years ago, after the catastrophe, Lihattian has long disappeared without a trace, where did the guest officer get the dragon eyes from Lihattian?" Prince Longxuan? What kind of character is it? Little Lao'er really doesn't know. Alas, I think it's just a little dragon dragon in Long Yuan, six four-grade spars, definitely a lot. ”
"Eighteen."
"Seven."
"Sixteen! Couldn't be less! ”
"One price, ten pieces! Otherwise, the guest officer is at his own convenience. ”
"Deal!"
Cao Chen picked up ten fourth-grade crystals and left directly.
Regarding the price of the Dementor, it really did not exceed Cao Chen's expectations. As the auction began, the price climbed from five fourth-grade crystals to seven.
Cao Chen only had ten fourth-grade spars in his hand, and he was worried that the price would be much higher if he was raised like this, so he gritted his teeth and directly quoted the price of ten spars, winning the Dementor in one fell swoop.
The things arrived, and it was getting late.
Cao Chen was reluctant to spend the night in an inn in Niutou Town, so he rode directly on his bicycle to Niuwei Village.
The bicycle built by the cultivator is naturally stronger than ordinary mundane things, labor-saving and high-speed, Cao Chen feels that if he takes it back to his hometown, this bicycle will definitely be sold at a good price.
I was thinking about it along the way, and suddenly I heard the sound of breaking the sky behind me.
Cao Chen was startled, and turned back suddenly, but saw a bright light passing by in the night sky, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't see what it was.
Something seems to be there.
The direction in which the light flew was actually the direction where Ushio Village was located.
Perhaps because he had experienced too many hardships, Cao Chen was a little too sensitive, worried that there would be any accidents in Niuwei Village, and was also worried that Chen Zhao, who was still sitting outside at this time, would freeze to death, so he didn't dare to hesitate, pedaled with his legs neatly, and hurried back to Niuwei Village.
The mountain road is winding, saying that it is a distance of 100 miles, but it can go around and around, but it is more than 2 or 300 miles.
Crossing mountains and mountains is even more time-delaying.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Cao Chen rushed back to his residence in Niuwei Village with the dew.
There was no trace of Chen Zhao outside the room, Cao Chen was worried, pushed open the door, and was relieved to see Chen Zhao lying on the bed. was about to speak, but at a glance he saw a phantom standing beside the bed.
"Huh!" Cao Chen was so frightened that he took a step back, and then grinned, "Long Xuan! You're recovering. ”
Listening to this tone, it is like an old friend.
In fact, Cao Chen saw Long Xuan for the first time.
But Blood Moon and Long Xuan are quite familiar.
Long Xuan's face was gloomy and he glared at Cao Chen, "What do you think of this prince?" Just ten fourth-grade spars, and I sold this prince?! ”
"I was going to sell twenty."
"Get out!" Long Xuan was furious.
"Hehe, how did you get back?" Cao Chen said, and then realized, "Yes, you can take the initiative to control the Dragon Slaying Knife." Speaking of which, Cao Chen also saw the dragon slayer standing in the corner of the wall, and when he saw the blood stains on it, Cao Chen twisted his brows.
It is clear that the escape of the Dragon Slayer Knife from the pawnshop did not go very well.
"Shhh...... Did you kill someone? Cao Chen looked at Long Xuan with some concern.
"Hmph, just an old man who cultivates as a golden pill, it's as easy as killing him."
"The main thing is that when you run, were you being followed? It won't cause me any trouble, will it? ”
Long Xuan was stunned for a moment, and his mind buzzed for a moment, and he almost died of anger. He originally thought that Cao Chen was worried about himself, but she was worried that she would bring her trouble!
"Don't worry!" Long Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "No one can keep up with my speed!" ”
"That's good." Cao Chen said, "Now that you have recovered, let's quickly think about how to deal with the Weeping Blood Sword with Xiao Zhao." As she spoke, she pulled over a stool and sat down, then took out the Dementor she had bought and began to refine it. While the spirit trick in his hand was changing, Cao Chen didn't forget to remind Long Xuan, "Your sister has obtained the Demon Emperor's order, it is definitely not a good thing. If you can get the Weeping Blood Sword, maybe you can also get the Demon Emperor Order, and free your sister from the shackles of the Demon Emperor Order. ”
Cao Chen's attitude really made Long Xuan a little unbearable. A village girl actually talked to herself with such an attitude? Long Xuan stood behind Cao Chen and angrily raised the dragon slaying knife, but finally endured it again.
Chen Zhao said that if he wanted to get rid of the shackles of the dragon slaying knife and change from a machine spirit to a free spirit, he still needed Cao Chen's help.
There was no way, although he wanted to kill this village girl, Long Xuan still had to endure it. What's more, Long Xuan never kills women, even if it is a woman who becomes a man.
At the same time, Long Xuan and Chen Zhao were a little curious, they wanted to know what Cao Chen was refining. Thinking of Cao Chen's statement that she was inspired by the conversation between Blood Moon and Hunter Tian, Long Xuan couldn't help but pout.
Hunting the sky? That monarch killer, a brave and unscrupulous fool, what other high-ranking means can he not achieve? Thinking of Hunting the Sky, Long Xuan suddenly became a little angry. He looked at Chen Zhao and said angrily, "You say! Why did Ye Wuxian kill me back then, but he just turned that bastard from Lietian into a woman?! ”
"Huh?" Chen Zhao was very surprised, and instead of answering Long Xuan's question, he said, "You mean, Lietian was beaten by Ye Wuxian against the spirit trick?" This ......" remembered that the iron-blooded man who was only a captain of the guard, but had a good reputation, turned into a woman, and the expression on Chen Zhao's face was a little unsure of what to do.
The angry Long Xuan was suddenly stunned and said, "Could it be that Ye Wuxian likes a reckless man like Hunting Heaven?" That's not right, if she liked to hunt the sky, she wouldn't have turned him into a woman. ”
Chen Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Hunting Heaven is not a reckless man. After a pause, Chen Zhao said, "If he is really a reckless man, how could the wise Fourth Man Emperor accept him as his godson and give him a heavenly hunting bow." ”
Long Xuan was obviously not interested in caring whether Lietian was a reckless man or not, he tilted his head and thought for a long time, his brows furrowed. "I suddenly thought of a very important question!" He turned his face to look at Chen Zhao with a solemn expression, "In this world, the spiritual power is reversed, all the cultivators blew themselves up and died, and only the hundred flowers of anti-spiritual cultivation survived. Is it a coincidence? Or did Baihua already know that the spiritual power of this world would be reversed? I can't help but think of a question that many years ago, almost all cultivators were curious about! Up and down the Yaochi Sect, why don't you take the path of cultivation that is quite easy, but you just want to go against the sky, what kind of "Anti-Heaven Technique" is cultivated? The word "Against the Sky" is really intriguing when I think about it now! ”
Chen Zhao groaned slightly, shook his head slightly, and said, "I really don't know what happened back then. "He has sealed himself for more than 3,000 years, and he doesn't know exactly what happened before and after the catastrophe.
Long Xuan's sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he glanced at Cao Chen, who was concentrating on refining the soul dementor next to him, and his interest in the Yao Chi Sect and the "Anti-Heaven Technique" was getting bigger and bigger. Nowadays, in this world, "Against the Heavens" is a recipe for rotten streets, because the spiritual power of heaven and earth is reversed, and it will not transform after cultivation, "no taboos" or anything, and it is useless in the face of cultivators who are also practicing against the spirit. The method of "Reverse Spirit Technique" to make the opponent reverse spiritual power and even transform is useless......
Long Xuan's heart suddenly shook, thinking of all the things since the immortal was stolen from the immortal realm, Long Xuan felt a chill down his spine.
All of this seems to be related to the real person of Yaochi.
Yao Chi ......
That woman who is even more legendary than Baihua, the so-called Holy Emperor!
What the hell is she trying to do?!
Is she really dead?!
Suddenly, Cao Chen let out a laugh.
Long Xuan was taken aback by Cao Chen's laughter.
Cao Chen also ignored Chen Zhao and Long Xuan, and directly got up and ran out.
Looking at Cao Chen's back, Long Xuan said softly, "Yao Chi Sect...... Defying the Heavens...... There seems to be a big secret behind it. ”
"Hmm." Chen Zhao said, "I remember that Blood Moon mentioned to me that when the Sixth Emperor was at the height of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yao Chi once entered the palace and spent seven days alone with the Sixth Emperor in the secret room. Later, Yao Chi left the palace and founded the Yao Chi Sect. Everyone who knew about this was very curious, what exactly did Yao Chi talk about with the Sixth Emperor in those seven days. ”
Long Xuan glanced at Chen Zhao and pouted, "Maybe they've just been messing around for seven days." ”
"Uh......" Chen Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, that's my father-in-law." At the mention of his father-in-law, Chen Zhao showed a look of admiration on his face, "See the foundation of heaven and earth, measure the impermanence of wind and clouds." That's a strong man who can watch the heavens! ”
"Spying on the heavens?" Long Xuan sneered, "Then did he know that his life would be so short?" Do you know that your children will kill each other? Does it know that his good son-in-law has ended up like this now? ”
Chen Zhao glanced at Long Xuan and smiled slightly, "He really knows." ”
Long Xuan frowned.
"I had a conversation with my father-in-law a long time ago." Chen Zhao fell into the memory, "My father-in-law asked me: As the saying goes, what is the matter?" I replied: Untitled, unknown sky, empty and empty sky. God, nothingness also. ”
Long Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Probably so." ”
Chen Zhao smiled and said, "My father-in-law said: Heaven is the heart of the human heart and the wish of all living beings. ”
Long Xuan was dumbfounded, for a long time, and said, "In this way, the word "Against the Sky" has another explanation. ”
"yes."
"Heh, what else did your wise father-in-law say?"
Chen Zhao shook his head and said, "There is nothing else important." ”
"What about the unimportant?"
"Not important? Oh, he said that when I die, I will be very happy. ”
