Chapter 18: The Chaos of the Heavens
The time is approaching, and the town of Danxia has begun to light the starting lights.
On the most remote street in the west of Danxia Town, the two people walked slowly side by side, the huge street was very silent, and only the footsteps of the two people could be heard, and in the east of Danxia Town, the lights were brilliant, the voices were boiling, and the contrast was very strong.
"It's almost here, Brother Yang, Night Island behaves strangely, if there is any dissatisfaction, please Brother Yang don't be angry, it's important to get down to business." The two were Lin Yang and Mu Ning, and when they approached the house with a small house with high walls, Mu Ning turned his head sideways and whispered a reminder in Lin Yang's ear.
Lin Yang nodded and replied softly: "I know, Brother Mu is relieved that Yang is not a reckless person." ”
"Papapapa", Mu Ning knocked on the copper ring on the door of the small mansion, and knocked three times in a row, he knocked very lightly, but in this secluded street, the sound was extraordinarily loud.
Two breaths passed, and there was no movement in the house.
Mu Ning waited for a moment, then knocked on the brass ring again, this time also three times, but slightly different from before, this time he paused slightly before knocking a third time.
With a "creak", the door opened, and out of it came a strange man with the appearance of an adult and the shape of a child, carrying a red lantern in his hand, and I don't know what the lantern was made of.
The strange man stood on tiptoe, holding a lantern and dangling it in front of Mu Ning and Lin Yang respectively, and then asked out loud, "Do you have a Night Island Order?" "The voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"I have the Night Island Order, and he's my friend." Muning flashed a triangular black metal token.
The strange man glanced at the token and stopped caring about Mu Ning, he raised his head and stared at Lin Yang, and asked, "What are you asking for when you come to Night Island?" ”
"Cultivating the exercises." Lin Yang lowered his head slightly and replied softly.
"The price of cultivation exercises is expensive, but do you have enough Yuan Stones?" The strange man looked Lin Yang up and down, as if he was examining Lin Yang's financial resources.
Lin Yang was a little dissatisfied with the strange man's unscrupulous scrutiny eyes and cold words, but remembering Mu Ning's previous reminder, he endured it.
"It's not much, but it should be enough to buy a book of cultivation exercises." Lin Yang raised his head, and his gaze fell directly on the messy, chicken-like hair on the top of the strange man's head.
"Hehe, as long as the Yuan Stone is enough." The strange man laughed, and then said to Mu Ning: "You brought the person, if something goes wrong, you will be responsible." ”
"I naturally know this, and if it's not a trusted friend, I won't bring it here." After Mu Ning finished speaking, he reached out and gently patted Lin Yang's shoulder.
"Come in with me." The strange man took the lead with a red lantern and led Lin Yang and Mu Ning into the door.
Bypass the shadow wall, pass the lotus pond pontoon bridge, and then walk through the corridor with seven bends and eight turns, and finally come to a courtyard.
There are eight huts side by side on the left and right sides of the courtyard, and on the door of each hut hangs a small wooden sign with a different number written on it, one to four on the left and five to eight on the right. Several of the eight huts were lit with oil lamps that glowed dimly yellow through the window paper.
"Room Three." After the strange man led Lin Yang and Mu Ning here, he coldly dropped a few words, and turned around and left directly.
"Brother Yang, I won't go in, I'll wait for you here. I wish Brother Yang what he wishes in advance. Mu Ning said to Lin Yang with a smile.
Lin Yang nodded and walked straight to Room No. 3.
"Knock knock." Lin Yang knocked lightly on the door a few times.
The lights were lit up in the originally dark hut, and a voice came from inside, "Please come in."
Lin Yang pushed the door in, only to see the long counter dividing the hut in half, the pitch-black curtain hanging above the counter, only revealing a two-inch-wide gap, looking through the gap, you can see a person sitting behind the black curtain, unable to see the appearance, unable to distinguish between men and women.
"You may be seated, I wonder what your guests need?" The voice behind the curtain was from a man, and his tone was gentle and polite, in stark contrast to the strange man who had carried the red lantern before.
"Cultivating the exercises." Lin Yang sat down outside the curtain.
"There are two levels of exercises for sale here, Xuan level and Huang level, I don't know what level of exercises you need?"
"Yellow." Lin Yang only has a total of more than 300 lower-grade Yuan Stones, and he doesn't count on Xuan-level exercises.
"Yellow-level high-grade exercises, the price range is six hundred to eight hundred lower grade yuan stones; Yellow-level medium exercises, the price range is 400 to 600 lower grade yuan stones; The price of the Huang-level inferior exercises is generally between three hundred and four hundred lower grade yuan stones. I don't know which yellow-level exercises you choose? The people inside the curtain continued to make multiple choice questions for Lin Yang.
"Yellow rank inferior." Lin Yang was helpless, he didn't have enough Yuan Stone, so he could only choose the lowest level of exercises.
"There are a total of seven Huang-level inferior exercises, distinguished guest, please take a look at them first." While talking, the person inside the curtain took out seven exercise books from behind the curtain and placed them on the counter in front of Lin Yang in a row.
"The price is above three hundred and fifty lower grade yuan stones, please take it back." Lin Yang could see from the other party's posture that this was not a place to bargain, so he took the initiative to remove these exercises that he couldn't afford, so as not to delay each other's time.
When the people inside the curtain heard this, they immediately took away six cultivation exercises, leaving only one exercise book called "Liubo Lu".
Lin Yang was a little dumbfounded at the moment, this was completely a choice!
He picked up the "Liubo Lu", turned the first page, and just saw the first sentence of the opening chapter: "Liubo Lu" is ,......, when he heard the person inside the curtain say: "Once you read it, it will be regarded as agreeing to buy, distinguished guest, please pay 330 yuan stones." ”
"I've only read a few words, so I can't read them, right?" Lin Yang explained, obviously a little reluctant to buy "Liubolu" in his tone.
Because he had already obtained a book suspected of cultivating exercises from the middle-aged man who set up the stall before, Lin Yang was not very eager to get "Liubo Lu", after all, he didn't know what the quality of this exercise was. Moreover, as soon as he heard the three words of Liubolu, he was a little resistant to this exercise, and he didn't like it very much. He wanted to browse the general content before making a decision, but he didn't expect Night Island to have such a domineering rule: if you turn it over, you have to buy it!
"Distinguished guest, please deliver the Yuanshi." The voices of the people inside the curtain were not as gentle as before.
Lin Yang was displeased, but he knew that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the night island was powerful, far from being something that he could provoke as a seventh-rank martial artist.
As if sensing Lin Yang's unhappiness, the person inside the curtain changed his words and said: "If you really don't want to buy "Liubolu", I still have a book of exercises at the same price here, and the level is not low, at least it should reach the Xuan level." ”
"At least it should be at the Xuan level?" Lin Yang had some suspicions that he had misheard.
"Because this exercise is incomplete." The tone of the person inside the curtain gradually calmed down, and he continued: "Of course, the choice is yours, do you want "Liubolu" or this one? ”
The man inside the curtain finished his sentence and placed a thin book on the counter.
"The Chaos of Heaven and Generosity?" Lin Yang saw the title of the book on the cover at a glance, he stretched out his hand and was about to flip through the Dafang Sutra, when he suddenly remembered the rules of buying it when he turned it over in Night Island, so he quickly retracted his hand.
"Is it "Dafang Sutra" or "Liubolu", have you thought about it?" The people inside the curtain didn't give Lin Yang too much time to think, and asked Lin Yang to make a decision quickly.
"Although the Dafang Sutra is incomplete, the grade is much higher than that of the "Liubo Lu", anyway, it is only a temporary transitional exercise, I might as well choose the incomplete Dafang Sutra, which is not too insulting to my qualifications of the Nine Ming Mais." Lin Yang weighed it again and again, and finally chose the incomplete "Mixed Heaven and Dafang Sutra".
After handing over the Yuan Shi and Dafang Jing, there was no movement behind the curtain.
"The deal is done, won't you give me a Night Island Order?" Lin Yang thought that he would not have to deal with Night Island in the future, and with a piece of Night Island Order in hand, he wouldn't have to trouble Mu Ning anymore.
"Only by consuming more than 1,000 low-grade Yuan Stones on the island at one time can you obtain the Night Island Order." It took a moment for a sound to come from inside the curtain, and there was already a hint of coldness in the voice.
"Do you think I have little consumption and no Yuanshi? A piece of broken iron, how rare it is, Night Island, you wait for me, one day, I will ask you to beg me to accept the Night Island order! Lin Yang suppressed the anger in his heart and secretly swore in his heart.
……
There is a Dan shop in Danxia Town, where Lin Yang and Mu Ning sit opposite each other.
"The Chaos of Heaven and Generosity! How did you buy it? This is three hundred lower grade yuan stones! Not three hundred waste stones. Mu Ning looked at the thin book in Lin Yang's hand and exclaimed, with a look of pain on his face.
"Brother Mu, what do you mean by that?" Lin Yang didn't know why.
Mu Ning didn't speak, turned around and entered the store, and when he came out, he was holding a thin book in his hand, and the cover also had five big characters written on the cover.
"Could it be that I bought a fake?" Lin Yang is not calm.
"Of course the exercises are true, although Night Island is a little overbearing in business, but this face is still needed. However, what they sell you is a scrap book. Mu Ning casually threw the Dafang Sutra in his hand on the counter, and said wistfully: "I knew that you would spend 300 Pinyuan Stones to buy Dafang Sutra back, so it is better to give you my book, and I will give you a 5% discount, or 100 Pinyuan Stones." ”
"Brother Mu, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk about it. Tell me first, why is the Dafang Sutra a waste book? The people of Night Island say that it is at least a Xuan-level exercise. Lin Yang knew that he had been wronged, but he wanted to be a clear wrongdoer.
Mu Ning sighed and said, "The grade of the 'Chaos Heaven Dafang Sutra' is indeed not low, but it is a remnant, and it can only be cultivated to the Yuanji realm. ”
"It's okay to be able to cultivate to the Yuanji Realm." After all, Lin Yang is also a disciple of the Danxia Sect now, although he is only a miscellaneous disciple, he knows a little about Yuan Xiu's affairs. He knew that Yuan Xiu had nine realms: Ning Yuan Realm, Yuan Ji Realm, Baixuan Realm, Heavenly Wheel Realm, Yuan Fu Realm, Fu Ling Realm, Dharma Phase Realm, True Realm, and Supreme Realm. At the beginning of Xian'an City, Lin Yang faced Lin Tianhao, who was only a heavy player in the Ning Yuan Realm, and he had almost no power to fight back. Therefore, he thought that the Yuan cultivation that could cultivate to the Yuan Base Realm was already very powerful.
"If you can successfully cultivate to the Yuanji Realm, I won't say that it is useless, this Dafang Sutra is hateful, and when it is promoted from the Ning Yuan Realm to the Yuanji Realm, it needs the Three Patterns Yuan Ji Dan. Isn't that a joke, you say? Mu Ning was a little itchy when he talked about the Dafang Sutra, and he said hatefully: "If ordinary Yuan Xiu can get a Double-Pattern Yuan Ji Dan, it can be regarded as capable." Three-pattern Yuan Ji Dan, even if you have enough Yuan Stones, you have to be able to find a place to buy them. The Danxia Sect's alchemy is powerful enough, and I haven't heard of when they ever refined the Three-Pattern Yuan Ji Dan. This is clearly not allowed to cultivate, if it is not wasted, who else will be wasted! Otherwise, a cultivation method that is at least a Xuan-level cultivation method can be bought with three hundred Yuan Stones, and it can become a rotten street? ”
"Sanwen Yuan Ji Dan, isn't this a tailor-made exercise for me?" Lin Yang listened and listened, and his already somewhat annoyed mood suddenly became happy, the Three-Pattern Yuan Ji Dan was out of reach for others, but for Lin Yang, it was within reach.
"Brother Yang?" Mu Ning saw that Lin Yang was a little distracted, thinking that Lin Yang was remorseful for the matter of the Dafang Sutra, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "It's lucky, I only lost three hundred lower-grade Yuan Stones. Although the Dafang Sutra is not suitable for cultivation, the cultivation experience in it can still be used for reference. ”
"Brother Xie Mu is relieved, the hour is not early, I will leave first." Lin Yang is not an excuse, it is almost the end of the day, if Lin Yang goes back too late, the disciple of the mountain guard will not have a good time.
"Then I'm here to wait for Brother Yang's next visit." Mu Ning sent Lin Yang out of a store, said goodbye to Lin Yang warmly, and asked Lin Yang about when he would come back, intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Yang knew Mu Ning's thoughts, so he said to Mu Ning in an affirmative tone: "Brother Mu, don't worry, next time Yang comes to Danxia Town, he will definitely be the first to come to have a store." ”
After receiving Lin Yang's clear and affirmative reply, the smile on Mu Ning's face became fuller, and he stood at the door of the store, waving his hand until Lin Yang disappeared from the distance.
Because of the last encounter with Li Chang and Li Gu's brothers, Lin Yang was much more cautious now, and it was not until he left Danxia Town for dozens of miles and walked into a remote mountain road that he used his magic trick to change back into his appearance.
At this time, the moon is dark and there is no moon, Lin Yang's eyesight is very strong, and he can naturally see the mountain road clearly, which does not hinder the night walk, but today he just got a listening bead, he unconsciously itched, so he took out the listening bead and put it in the palm of his hand.
"Bang", Lin Yang snapped his fingers twice, startling the birds that had already roosted in the nearby trees and fled in a panic.
At the same time, the listening beads in Lin Yang's hand began to glow, and the green light reflected Lin Yang's palm was also green, and it looked very mad. But the middle-aged man who set up the stall was right, listening to the sound beads is really good for traveling, no need to light a fire, no need to refuel, save money and effort.
Lin Yang walked a few miles with the listening beads before losing his freshness, and was ready to put away the listening beads.
Suddenly, Lin Yang's face changed suddenly, as he sensed that hundreds of strong and weak auras were rapidly approaching him from all directions.
