() "Have you ever heard of Mu Yunfei of the Tianshan Sect seizing the Dugu Sword from the Forest of No Return a hundred years ago?" Wu Nian held a string of delicate Buddha beads in his hand and told a story from a long time ago.

"Nope. Bai Zhining and Bai Qingdong's grandson looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Also, you only know that the Dugu Sword is the first sword in the world, but you don't know its origin.

"The Dugu Sword was created by the old man of the Tianshan Mountains in Kunlun two thousand years ago with the sword body of the Northern Darkness Cold Iron and the ancient famous sword. The old man of Tianshan used the Dugu Sword to destroy the demons, and his own life was also greatly damaged, and after his death, the Dugu Sword also lost its whereabouts, and no one knew its whereabouts. It wasn't until a hundred years ago that Mu Yunfei defeated the ancient fierce beasts, and Dugu Sword appeared in everyone's eyes again. It turned out that the old man of Tianshan was afraid that the Dugu Sword would fall into the hands of bad people, so he supervised it in the Forest of No Return. One is to suppress the ancient beasts, and the other is to prevent the Dugu Sword from falling into the hands of others, and the two restrain each other, so that such a situation has been formed. "Wu Nian tells a secret that is not known to ordinary people.

There are very few people in the world who know that Dugu Sword is to suppress the ancient fierce beasts, and this matter is still said by Master Ziwu, the master of Wunian.

"Then Mu Yunfei took the Dugu Sword, why didn't the ancient beast escape from the Forest of No Return?" Bai Zhi listened very seriously, and her dark and translucent eyes stared straight at Wu Nian. It is precisely because of the careful listening that there are so many questions I want to ask.

Mu Yunfei didn't kill the fierce beast, so if Dugu Jian left the Forest of No Return, wouldn't the restrictions on suppressing it disappear?

Because after obtaining the Dugu Sword, Mu Yunfei happened to step into the Taihe Immortal, and he turned to lay another barrier outside the Forest of No Return to prevent the ancient beasts from harming the world. Wu Nian explained.

The enchantment that can suppress the ancient fierce beasts, except for Mu Yunfei back then, I am afraid that no one in the world can do it.

"Then what does this Dugu Sword have to do with the Holy Buddha Bead?" Bai Qingdong and Bai Zhining even had the same tone, staring at the Wunian monk curiously, without the slightest appearance of the Bai family's elders.

The two of them really looked exactly the same.

"Because this Holy Buddha Bead has a similar experience with the Dugu Sword, it was sealed in the bottom valley of the Blue Sky Valley. You must all know the origin of the Blue Sky Valley, the legend has it that there is no light all year round, the sand is everywhere, the weeds are overgrown, and there are fierce beasts everywhere, but these are not important, the important thing is that there is a spirit beast in this Blue Sky Valley. Wu Nian paused, he saw Bai Zhining with her hands on her knees supporting her chin, like a primary school student listening carefully in class, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

"This spirit beast was called a ghost phoenix, three heads and six wings, good at using flames, thousands of years ago it coveted the power of the holy Buddha bead to take it for itself, the four major monasteries tried all means to get rid of it, but fortunately it did not harm the world, so no one provoked it. In this way, a thousand years have passed, and the ghost phoenix has already reached the strength of a half-step Taihe Immortal. In the past thousand years, every few decades, there will be Buddhist disciples who enter the Blue Sky Valley and want to take out the holy Buddha beads. But they all failed, and their bones were already able to cover the bottom of the Blue Sky Valley. So now, do you know the reason why I'm surprised?" This experience can be said to be an unbearable past for Buddhism, and Wu Nian did not hide it, and he looked like he was telling it peacefully.

But only he knew, and there was still a lot he didn't tell them.

"Oh!" Bai Qingdong

Nodding thoughtfully, "You mean, the Holy Buddha Bead I got may be fake?"

He suddenly became serious, according to Wu Nian, this holy Buddha bead was guarded by a demon beast with the strength of a half-step Taihe Immortal, how much strength did it take to snatch food out of the tiger's mouth? And not only did he hide such a precious treasure, but he also had to put it in this worldly auction for auction? This doesn't make sense, could it be that there is a half-step Taihe Immortal who is short of money?

"Not necessarily, I haven't heard of the Holy Buddha Bead for many years, and maybe it was actually taken out. Wu Nian pursed his lips, his eyes a little misty for a while.

"Wang Tong, go and get the Holy Buddha Beads that are going to be auctioned today, and send someone to urge Zheng Darthead. Bai Qingdong shouted solemnly at the attendants standing outside the door of the hall.

Once he believes in someone, he will have no reservations, not to mention that Wu Nian is a friend of his niece, so he is not shy about it.

And the most important thing at the moment is to let him distinguish the authenticity of this holy Buddha bead, if he Bai's casino has been publicizing it for a long time, and it is still a fake, wouldn't he be laughed off by the rich people of the entire Tiandu City?

"No. A servant in a robe answered at the door, and quickly retreated.

"I don't know if Mr. Bai can tell the little monk who is selling the holy Buddha beads on the consignment. Before they saw the Holy Buddha Beads, they were idle, and they wanted to know what the people who wanted to auction the Holy Buddha Beads were.

"Well, how to say, let me phrase it. Bai Qingdong touched his chin, narrowed his wrinkled eyes, and thought about it carefully.

"It was about two days ago, and that day I was counting the items for auction as usual. Most of them are some calligraphy, painting, medicinal herbs and the like, which are not very valuable, and then suddenly a guest came outside and said that he wanted to consign a treasure. How did I think that what he wanted to sell on consignment would be a magic weapon? The wealthy merchants in Tiandu City were all ordinary people, and the Holy Buddha Bead was just an ornament to them, and even if this magic weapon was photographed by them, it would be useless. So I originally wanted to refuse, but the man said that he was willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver as the auction money. You also know that when someone else we do business with pays a deposit, there is no reason to refuse. I thought about it, this holy Buddha bead can just increase the heat of this auction, so I agreed, where did I think of so much" Bai Qingdong sighed and shook his head, now that he thought about it, he realized that there was too much wrong in it.

If that man was really in it for money, why did he pay 100,000 taels as a deposit for consignment?

Wu Nian frowned slightly, but he didn't feel suspicious because this matter was quite strange, but because Bai Qingdong said a bunch of things and didn't get to the point at all.

"Uncle Dong, you haven't said what that person looks like!"

"Yes, yes, I forgot for a while. Bai Qingdong rubbed his dry palms and smiled awkwardly, "I remember that the man was dressed in black and had a black hat on his head. I didn't see his face too clearly, I just knew that he was not tall, with thin bones and slender cheekbones, it looked, it looked" Bai Qingdong thought seriously, and didn't know how to describe it for a while.

"It looks weird and gloomy. Finally, Bai Qingdong said two ambiguous words.

Bai Zhi was at a loss for what to do, pressing

Gen'er didn't know what the two of them were playing.

But Wu Nian's heart has already understood most of it, whether it is this holy Buddha bead or the reason for the death of the meridian presided over fifty years ago.

He suddenly came to light in an instant.

"Dapu Master" Wunian whispered the Buddha name of the Thousand-Handed Buddha in his heart, but the last senior brother, he couldn't say it after all.

Although Dapu said that it was impossible to kill the Dead Meridian Master, what if it was the Meridian Master who had just returned from the bottom of the Blue Sky Valley to win the Holy Buddha Bead? What if it was the Meridian Master who had just fought with the Ghost Phoenix and lost both?

All this made sense, Fa Ye and the hosts of the other two temples united to force Master Ziwu to go to the Blue Sky Valley to retrieve the Holy Buddha Beads, just to get rid of him by the hand of the ghost phoenix.

But Ziwu came back alive, but when he was weak, he was led by Da Pu, who had been planning for a long time, and killed Ziwu and took away the holy Buddha beads.

This also explains why the righteous path is so frightened when he sees the illusion of the meridian.

Faye is the mastermind, and Dapu inadvertently becomes his accomplice!

"Master Baifang, the Holy Buddha Bead has been taken. When the memories were confused and intertwined in Wunian's mind, Wang Tong walked in with a heavy wooden box.

He was followed by a group of armor-clad guards, all spears and swords, looking around warily.

Their duty is to guard the treasure box containing the holy Buddha beads at every turn.

"Little master. Bai Qingdong motioned for Wang Tong to present the wooden box and send it to Wu Nian.

The wooden box is very elegantly decorated, and the corners are made of gold frames, so that it looks solid and luxurious. The box is made of fine iron pear wood, thick and wear-resistant, and there are eight jewels embedded in the top of the box, arranged in a wrapping style from large to small, this box looks very valuable.

In order to create such a box, Bai Qingdong also took great pains to use a lot of financial resources, just such a box is afraid that it will be worth 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention the treasures contained in the box.

Looking at the wooden box held by Wang Tong in his hand, a string of golden giant locks hanging on the box, Wu Nian lost his mind for a while, and it wasn't until Bai Qingdong's call that he came back to his senses.

Bai Qingdong nodded, meaning to ask Wang Tong to open the wooden box.

There are three locks attached to the wooden box, each of which requires a key.

Wang Tong has one, and the remaining two are in Bai Qingdong's hands, waiting for the time to be handed over to the auctioneer for safekeeping.

Bai Qingdong handed the two keys in his hand to Wang Tong, and waited for him to open the chains in turn.

But as soon as the first lock was opened, Wu Nian reached out and pressed the box.

Wang Tong raised his head in surprise, and Bai Zhining looked at Wu Nian in confusion.

"I don't need to open it, I can already feel the surging aura inside it. Wu Nian lowered his head, as if he wanted to see through the box.

But the Holy Buddha Bead was right in front of him, and he didn't have the courage to open it and look at it. After all, his master lost his life because of this bead.

"Stinky thoughtless. Bai Zhining muttered quietly, she just wanted to say that even if he didn't want to see it, she wanted to see it herself.

But she didn't say the second half of the sentence, because she suddenly saw a trace of sadness in Wu Nian's slightly lowered eyes, which made her unable to speak again.
