Volume 1 Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 42 Elder Gate
The Sword Palace Treasury is a boxy stone hall located on the north side of the Sword Palace, adjacent to the North Courtyard.
It didn't take long for Yun Que to arrive here.
The treasure house has no windows, only a heavy door, and is a place dedicated to storing all kinds of spiritual grass and materials, the most of which is the flying sword.
It is said that there are thousands of flying swords in the treasure house of the Sword Palace!
Disciples can exchange for sword spikes accumulated by completing tasks, and of course, they can also buy them with spirit stones.
It's just that the price of the things in the treasure house of the Sword Palace is a little higher than the market price, so few disciples come to exchange them.
It's more cost-effective to go to Fang City.
Calling open the door, Yun Que saw an old disciple with a white beard and sleepy eyes yawning.
"I'm still here at this late hour, can't I talk about it tomorrow?"
Seeing that he was wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Sword Palace, Yun Que arched his hand and said:
"I'm really in a hurry, senior brother take care of it, I'll leave after changing things, and I won't delay your sleep."
The old disciple rubbed his eyes and said, "Okay, if you want to change anything, I'll find it for you." ”
"Change a soul stone." Yun Que said the purpose.
"What are you going to change?" The old disciple suddenly became refreshed and asked in surprise.
"Soul Stone." Yun Que repeated.
After hearing this, the old disciple looked at Yun Que for a while, and said with a little headache: "The soul stone is very valuable, and it is a scarce material in the treasure house of the Sword Palace, you are just a sword servant, can you afford to exchange for a soul stone?" ”
Yun Que didn't explain much, and directly took out the sword stone.
"It's ...... The sword stone of Xue Yatou in the North Courtyard! The old disciple just looked at it and immediately recognized the origin of the sword stone.
Being able to watch the door in the treasure house of the Sword Palace, naturally reading countless treasures, it is not an accident to recognize the Sword Stone.
"Senior sister said, use the sword stone as a mortgage for a soul stone, and wait for the opportunity to redeem it."
Yun Que made his words very clear and paved the way for the senior sister.
The mortgage is not a direct exchange, similar to the pledge of a pawnshop, and it will definitely be redeemed after a period of time.
The old disciple shook his head in embarrassment.
"No way?" Yun Que was puzzled and said, "Could it be that the sword stone can't be exchanged for a soul stone?" How much is still missing, you might as well tell me the number to listen. ”
Yun Que already plans to pay out of his own pocket.
Xue Ziyi's state didn't last long, and he was rushed out of the magic circle by ghosts, and the three people in the hall would be in danger.
The old disciple sighed, didn't rush to explain, and beckoned Yun Que to walk towards the depths of the stone hall.
"It's not that I don't want to change it, but I don't have that right, I'm only responsible for the exchange of ordinary materials, and when it comes to precious materials such as soul stones, you have to ask it."
While speaking, the old disciple took Yun Que to a golden gate under the stone hall.
There was no one around, and Yun Que felt inexplicable.
He followed the old disciple's finger and saw only the heavy golden stone door.
"The Soul Stone is in there? What about the people in charge here? "Yun Que Dao.
"Right in front of you, ahem." The old disciple glanced at the golden gate and lowered his voice, "Remember to be respectful. ”
The more Yun Que listened, the more confused he became, he didn't even have people, follow respectfully?
Seeing that Yun Que was indifferent, the old disciple suddenly remembered something, patted his head, and said:
"Old fool! You're a new disciple, no wonder you don't know, it's me who didn't make it clear. ”
Saying that, the old disciple pointed to the golden gate, and explained in a respectful tone: "The precious items in the treasure house of the Sword Palace are all under the management of the sect elder, and if you want to exchange or buy them, you must obtain the consent of the sect elder." ”
"Sect Elder?"
Yun Que looked at the golden stone door suspiciously, and said, "It can't be this broken door, right?" ”
When the old disciple heard the word "break the door", he immediately trembled, and it was too late to stop it.
There was a creak.
A crooked opening in the golden gate looked like a mouth, and then the door spat out.
"You're the one who broke the door! Your whole family is a broken door! ”
The sound is like the friction of gold and iron, which is extremely uncomfortable to listen to, and it is extremely weird.
The opening of the stone gate is simply unheard of!
If Yun Que wasn't bold enough, he would have to jump up in fright.
"You can talk! Could it be a youkai? Yun Que blurted out.
The mouth on the golden gate cracked open again, and the sound of gold and iron grinding continued.
"You're a monster! Your whole family is a youkai! ”
The old disciple hurriedly pulled Yun Que into the distance, for fear that this stunned young man would say something bad again, and it was not a trivial matter to annoy the stone gate.
When he was far away from the golden stone gate, the old disciple sighed and said:
"Hey, Elder Men is very angry, it makes it unhappy, and it can be difficult to change things."
From the mouth of the old disciple, Yun Que learned the origin of the so-called 'Sect Elder'.
It turns out that the Elder Gate is really a door.
To be exact, it was transformed by a stone demon.
Many years ago, the powerhouse of the Sword Palace once slashed a powerful mountain stone spirit monster and used its body to refine it into the gate of the treasure house, which was extremely strong.
As a result, after the stone gate was refined, it was found that the spirit of this stone demon was still there, although there was only a wisp left, but it also had enough divine sense.
At that time, the elders planned to completely destroy their souls, but it was the sword leaders who overrode the public opinion and kept the soul of the stone demon.
The reason is that the stone demon is unintentional, fair, and most suitable as the caretaker of the treasure house, with its existence, the treasure house of the Sword Palace will never have a greedy ink, which can be said to be forever troublesome.
So this wisp of the stone demon's soul was left behind, and together with the stone gate, it became the core of the treasure house, and over time it was called the door elder by the disciples.
Knowing this, Yun Que was an eye-opener.
There is such a strange story in the world!
Since the treasure house is the final word of the sect elder, if you want to exchange the soul stone, you can only negotiate with others.
Yun Que returned to the stone gate.
This time, he was a lot more respectful, bowed his hand, and said: "The disciple has just entered the Sword Palace, I don't know the special nature of the treasure house, don't blame the sect elder, I want to change a soul stone to use urgently." ”
"Ah, have you eaten honey, it's so nice, who just said that it's a broken door and a monster."
The corner of the mouth on the stone door skimmed out Lao Gao, making a disdainful look.
The cloud was missing for a while.
Is this thing still holding a grudge?
Doesn't it mean that the stone demon has no intention of being fair?
I don't look like a fair guy anyway.
"Don't blame those who don't know, the disciple is here to compensate the elders." Yun Que arched his hand again.
"It's pretty much the same, what do you want to change, Soul Stone? Do you know what a soul stone is! ”
Shimen pursed his lips and chattered:
"The soul stone is the heavenly spirit bone formed by the demon beast after the death of the demon beast after many years of weathering, condensing the soul power of the demon beast before its death, it has the effect of nourishing the soul, it is extremely rare, and the worst condition is also hundreds of spirit stones, and some are worth thousands of spirit stones! There is only one last piece left in the treasure house of the Sword Palace, and you little sword servant can't afford to change it at all. ”
Yun Que took out the sword stone and said, "Mortgage this thing, and I will redeem it later." ”
"It's just an old and top-grade magic weapon, it's not worth a soul stone, don't change it!" The gate raised his mouth and was arrogant.
Yun Que didn't expect this sect elder to hold such a grudge, so he actually refused directly.
The old disciple helped to say good things and said, "The value of the sword stone is definitely worth a soul stone, Elder Sect, you are accommodating." ”
"If you don't change it, you won't change it! Unless he adds a thousand spirit stones, there is no door! Don't try to take my soul stone! Shimen refused.
"Your Soul Stone?" Yun Que heard the difference, and his eyes were suspicious.
"I, the soul stone under my jurisdiction! What's the matter, I won't change it for you! Shimen was a little angry in his tone, for some reason.
Yun Xiao nodded, and a signature kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, he finally caught the sore foot of the Elder Gate.
