Chapter 128: The Sale of Buddhist Scriptures
A week later, Xiao Hua returned to Spring City.
He didn't take the plane, he deliberately chose to take the train.
The three years of Lingshan tempering have given him a lot of insights into life and practice, and he needs a little time to digest it well.
Back in Spring City, Xiao Hua didn't rush to the hot pot restaurant to see Huang Ming.
On the way back, he had already made a new plan for his future spiritual path.
The first step is to refine the natal magic weapon that matches your own exercises as soon as possible.
Only with the natal magic weapon can he continue to cultivate those two high-level exercises.
However, whether it was to refine the natal magic weapon of "Void Spirit Sword Duel" or "Five Elements Sacrifice Thunder Technique", Xiao Hua still lacked several necessary materials.
He decided to go to the Xiuxian Sect Sect Pawn Shop hidden in the city first.
Early the next morning, Xiao Hua came to the Jingxing Flower and Bird Market in the center of Spring City.
In his impression, the pawn shops of the Xiuxian sect are generally hidden in the flower and bird market or the antique and cultural relics market.
Jingxing Flower and Bird Market is the largest in Spring City, and it is also a place where cultural toys and Taobao have existed for the longest time, and the pawn store is the most likely to hide here.
Jingxing Flower and Bird Market is located in the center of the old town of Spring City.
It is distributed in an I-shape, there are three streets in total, and the shops on both sides of the street are all two-storey wooden buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the whole market is antique.
This market not only sells flowers, birds, fish, insects and pet products, but also gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Of course, most of these antique calligraphy and paintings are fake, and the real thing is rare to see.
Xiao Hua first scanned the entire market with his divine thoughts.
After the knot, his divine thought scanned range had reached more than ten miles, and he could still distinguish the cultivation realm of the person who emitted spiritual energy while scanning it, which was a grade higher than the foundation building period.
Xiao Hua soon noticed a slight fluctuation of spiritual power in a certain storefront on one of the streets.
Judging from the strength of this spiritual power aura, it should only be a minor monk of the seventh or eighth level of the Qi refining period.
Xiao Hua followed the direction from which this spiritual power fluctuation came to this storefront.
The store is very small, just over three meters wide, and the inside is not large, so you can see all the shelves in the store from the street.
There is a plaque at the front of the store, which reads three words, "Jing Yi Zhai".
A young man in his twenties greeted him from the store.
"Welcome, sir upstairs please".
There was a faint gray light on this person's body, and it was the little monk of the Qi Refining Stage that Xiao Hua had discovered.
Xiao Hua didn't refuse, this person is an immortal cultivator, which means that he has found the right place, as for what kind of pawn shop this is set up by the sect, just go in and ask.
There were no other customers in the shop, just a middle-aged woman sitting behind the counter and knitting, a mortal.
Xiao Hua couldn't help frowning, he wasn't sure if this middle-aged woman knew about the immortal cultivator, so he turned his head to look at the little monk.
"Little brother, do you have any suitable items for me?"
"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. is not an ordinary person at first glance, and you definitely can't look down on these vulgar things on the first floor"
"Why don't you come with me to the second floor and take a look at the store's treasures, I think there will be something that Mr. needs to be."
Xiao Hua didn't hide his cultivation, this young man naturally knew that Xiao Hua was an immortal cultivator or a high-level monk, so he hurriedly invited Xiao Hua to the second floor to make a cup of spiritual tea.
"Forgive me, senior, the clerk downstairs is trying to hide people's ears and eyes and make it inconvenient to speak"
"There is a soundproofing on the second floor to prohibit outsiders from eavesdropping, I don't know what items the predecessors need to purchase this time, and the store will try to meet them."
The little monk explained to Xiao Hua very respectfully, and took the initiative to ask Xiao Hua about his needs.
"Here's a list of what I need, do you have one in the store?" By the way, by the way, which school of your pawn shop is set up? ”。
Xiao Hua took out a list and handed it to the little friar.
"Back to the predecessors, this store belongs to the four sects of Buddhism and Taoism, don't look at our small shop, but it is hundreds of years old"
"The quality is not worse than that of the royal family in the capital, there are all kinds of commonly used items, high-level treasures occasionally appear, and those very rare items are not necessarily, it depends on chance."
The little friar is worthy of being a pawn shopkeeper, boasting about himself while looking at Xiao Hua's list.
"It turned out to be a pawn shop of the four sects of Buddhism and Taoism, but Spring City seems to belong to the sphere of influence of the Qiangu Gate in Southern Xinjiang."
"Your four sects of Buddhism and Taoism are located here, aren't you afraid of being expelled by them by force?"
Xiao Hua knew from Zhang Zili that each sect had a pawn shop in a big city, and he also knew that the pawn shop had a division of power.
"The predecessors didn't know that the southwest region has been the sphere of influence of the four sects of Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times, and the Qiangu Sect only got involved in this place in the later stage for some special reasons."
"If it weren't for the agreement between the two factions back then, they would have been expelled by our Buddhist sect by force, how dare they come to expel us?"
The little friar was a little angry when he said this.
"Did the Thousand Gu Sect only get involved in this place at a later stage? Why is that? Tell me about it".
Xiao Hua was curious.
He never imagined that the city he lived in would have two pawn shops opened by the Immortal Cultivation Sect at the same time, and they could coexist peacefully, which was really new enough.
"Senior, this is a long story, in fact, as early as a thousand years ago, the entire southwest region was the sphere of influence of my Buddhist sect Miyun Sect."
"However, the Miyun Sect later colluded with the Demon Cultivators of the Other World to bring disaster to the Realm, and was jointly encircled and suppressed by other sects in the Realm, and the Southwest Region was redivided after this incident."
"At that time, the area divided was very vast, Qiangumen was bounded by Qianzhou, and our four major Buddhist sects were bounded by Yunling, in charge of the southeast region and the southwest region."
"But with the changes of the times, the spheres of influence of the various sects have been compressed to varying degrees, and Yunling has become a controversial sphere of influence between our Buddhism and the Qiangu Sect."
"We have also negotiated with Qiangumen before, and we are willing to pay a huge amount of money to let him withdraw from Yunling, after all, our Buddhism is in the Prince Snow Mountain in Yunling, and how can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch."
"But the Thousand Gu Sect disagreed, saying that this was an agreement made by the various factions after they jointly encircled and suppressed the Demon Cultivators of the Other World."
"If our Buddhist sect dares to forcibly drive away, it will challenge the entire immortal cultivation hidden world, so Yunling will eventually become the place where the Thousand Gu Sect and our four major Buddhist sects are under the joint management."
The little friar finally finished.
"Yunling is actually a place where two factions are jointly managed?".
Xiao Hua touched his bald head.
"That's not bad, at least we have one more opportunity to compare and choose, oh yes, do you know where the pawn shop of Qiangu Gate is located?"
Xiao Hua knew that it was a bit too much to ask, but he still asked.
What he cares about is whether he can buy the items he wants, and as for the grievances between the two factions, it has nothing to do with him.
"This ......, I'll give the seniors the goods first, if it's really incomplete, then I'll tell the seniors."
Sure enough, when the little monk heard Xiao Hua ask like this, he immediately became a little unhappy.
But he didn't dare to show it too obviously, after all, Xiao Hua was a Dan monk, so he just deliberately picked up Xiao Hua's list and checked it again.
