Chapter 142: Meng Li
After the best phantom furnace was obtained by Huan Yin, there was still one last auction left.
After Liu Hong's introduction, Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong knew that the last item was a classic book called "The Book of Flames".
"The Book of Flames" was written by Lan Yanzi of Yijian Peak himself, and the content described in it is the essence of Lan Yanzi's mastery of various flames. Before, Liu Hong said that the last auction was related to Lan Yanzi, but now it seems that he is not lying.
The original version of the Flame Sutra was stored on the ninth floor of the nine-storied pagoda, and this copy was a replica of it at auction. However, this replica still caused a frenzied bidding from all the monks in the venue, because the value of the classic lies in the knowledge that its Chinese characters can bring to instrument cultivation, and whether it is reproduced or not, the content of the classic will not change.
What's more, the ninth floor of the nine-storied pagoda has never been entered by anyone except Lan Yanzi himself. Therefore, this replica of the "Blue Flame Sutra" is even more valuable than the one in the nine-storied pagoda. Because for all the monks, there is no difference between a book placed on the ninth floor of the Nine-Storied Pagoda and no book at all. And this one at the auction is really something that you can hold in your hands, and you can even give it to others.
In the end, this "Lane Yan Sutra" was auctioned off at the price of 1.5 million spirit stones. And the person who got this book was the one who competed for the magic furnace with Huan Yin before. It seems that at this moment, the monks in the field who are extremely interested in the sword forging treasure and have enough spirit stones, except for Huan Yin, he is him.
After the auction of all thirteen items was over, Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong left. Today, both of them got what they wanted in the workshop. Although it suddenly became a little tight. But satisfied.
Now. The two of them were walking in a square on the second order of Yijian Peak, and they were about to return to their residence.
"Two fellow initiates, stay. Suddenly, a figure blocked the way of Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong.
Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong raised their eyes and found a middle-aged man wearing a sword peak robe standing in front of them. Ji Cangqiong frowned and asked, "This fellow practitioner, what's the matter?"
The middle-aged man had a hint of pride on his face, and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Borrow a step to speak. ”
Ji Cangqiong saw that the middle-aged man had no one in his eyes, so he stopped the two of them for no reason, but he didn't even say the word "please" from beginning to end, and snorted coldly: "What if I don't borrow this step from you?"
The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Ji Cangqiong to speak like this, and his brows furrowed instantly, but he didn't get out of the way between Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong. He stood there and seemed to think for a while, and then he came again: "I have the treasure you want, you decide for yourself whether to come or not." ”
Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong immediately looked at each other when they heard his words.
"His cultivation is not as good as mine, not to mention that this is a sword peak, it is impossible for him to openly play any tricks on me. Follow him or not. It's up to you to decide. A voice suddenly appeared in Huan Yin's head, and it seemed that Ji Cangqiong was transmitting a voice to him.
listened to Ji Cangqiong's words. Huan Yin's heart settled. However, the middle-aged monk of this Sword Peak suddenly found his two foreign cultivators, but he didn't know what he wanted. Huan Yin thought to himself that since he couldn't play any tricks, he might as well go and see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. So, Huan Yin nodded to the sky.
"Lead the way. Ji Cangqiong saw Huan Yin nodding, and turned his face to the middle-aged man and said.
The middle-aged man didn't say much anymore and walked straight forward. After Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong followed the middle-aged male cultivator to a slightly remote place in the second order, he stopped and turned to the two of them: "I am a sword peak master, named Meng Li, presumably the Ji Alliance Master should know something about me, right?"
Meng Li, who has achieved the name of a sword peak instrument master for less than ten years, in terms of qualifications, he is much worse than the older generation of instrument masters like Zhao Wei. However, he has excellent talent, and he quickly caught up after achieving the name of an instrumentalist, and in just a few years, he has become a leader among the first-class sword peak masters, and his sword-casting attainments have even surpassed the older generation of craftsmen like Zhao Wei by a large margin. And some people estimate that if another twenty years pass, Meng Li is likely to be promoted to the throne.
As the leader of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, Ji Cangqiong had investigated many of the First Sword Peak's masters before, and he had naturally heard of Meng Li's name. Meng Li is a key cultivator of Yijian Peak, and he is highly valued in the door, and his sword-casting attainments are really extraordinary.
"I didn't expect Master Meng to even recognize a small role like me, which made Ji feel very honored. Master, why are you looking for me today?" Ji Cangqiong was very uncomfortable when he saw Meng Li's arrogant expression, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his words.
Meng Li was cold: "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for him." He turned his face to look at Huan Yin: "I know your name is Huan Yin, it is the foreign young man who rushed to the sixth floor of the nine-storied pagoda a few days ago, you are very good." ”
Originally, with Meng Li's temperament, being able to say "You are very good" to people was already quite elevated, but Huan Yin couldn't find the slightest compliment from his words. So he also said coldly: "What are you looking for me to do?"
Meng Li looked at Huan Yin seriously: "Do you dare to compete with me?"
Huan Yin frowned and asked, "What do you want to compare?"
Meng Li smiled confidently: "It's better than what you are best at." This time, let's go to the seventh layer together to see who is more powerful!"
Meng Li's words exuded a strong sense of confidence, as if he was very sure that he would be able to defeat Huan Yin. You must know that now Huan Yin can be said to be in the limelight, and no one dares to underestimate his strength, and this Meng Li came up and proposed to break into the tower with Huan Yinbi, which is really a bit arrogant.
"Why should I compare with you?" Huan Yin has never been a person who likes to compare, and he doesn't have a good impression of this Meng Li.
As if he had known that Huan Yin would ask such a question, Meng Li smiled strangely: "I also participated in the auction of the instrument workshop just now, and I know that you auctioned a heavy treasure in the venue." However, I've also captured a treasure here, and I'm sure you'll want what I've got. ”
Listening to Meng Li's words, Ji Cangqiong and Huan Yin suddenly frowned even deeper. The auction venue was so secret, Meng Li actually said that he knew that the two of them participated in the auction, and his words were even insinuating about the best phantom furnace, this was simply too weird, could he have any secret method to overcome the venue's restrictions on divine sense exploration?
Meng Li frowned when he saw the two of them, and said: "Don't worry, you two, I entered the auction hall alone just now, and no one else will know what you have gotten besides me." I, Meng Li, am not a villain, and I will keep my mouth shut about all the information about you in the auction hall. I'm just here to compare myself with Huan Yin, and it's also something I took for you. ”
"You're the one who bids with me?" Huan Yin suddenly guessed something, and he asked Meng Li.
Meng Li nodded: "It's really incredible that you are so rich at such a young age. ”
As soon as Meng Li said this, Huan Yin immediately understood that Meng Li was the one who competed with him for the best magic furnace and persevered to the end, and he was also the one who took the "Flame Sutra" with 1.5 million spirit stones.
"Where's the evidence?"
This time, Meng Li cautiously glanced around, and when he saw that there was no one around at the moment, he took out a classic. This classic is the "Lane Yan Sutra" written by Lan Yanzi that Liu Hong exhibited at the auction.
"How, is it better than that?" Meng Li quickly put back the "Lane Yan Sutra" and asked Huan Yin. Today, he came to Huan Yinbi to break into the tower, just because he had the "Langyan Sutra" in his hand, and he didn't believe that an instrument cultivator like Huan Yin would not be tempted by this classic.
"If I lose, I'll give you the furnace. If you lose, give me this "Lane Yan Sutra", right?" Huan Yin asked Meng Li.
"Clever, that's exactly what it means. Neither of you nor I is an ordinary cultivator, and these two treasures are incomparably precious to us. Therefore, it is better for us to compare with each other, and the capable person will take both the two treasures in his pocket, so that it is not an insult to the two peerless treasures. Meng Li nodded and replied.
In fact, Meng Li's proposal was a conspiracy. He was openly looking for Huan Yin to compete, and gave him the bait that made Huan Yin have to be tempted to lure him into the bait, so he knew that Huan Yin would definitely not refuse him. Because rejecting him is tantamount to rejecting the "Lane Yan Sutra", how could Huan Yin's instrument cultivation reject the "Lane Yan Sutra"?
The benefit of this yang plot to Meng Li is that he can harvest the best phantom furnace in Huan Yin's hands. However, if he wants this yang scheme to succeed, he must ensure that his knowledge and attainments are above Huan Yin. Now it seems that he clearly has this self-confidence.
Sure enough, after Huan Yin thought for a while, he asked, "How do you compare?"
"It's very simple, three days later, we will enter the seventh floor of the nine-storied pagoda together. There are a million materials in the seventh layer, and we can recognize more than anyone in this million materials. Meng Li knew that Huan Yin had already agreed to his proposal by asking this.
"What if you lose and don't give it to me?" asked Huan Yin again.
Meng Li laughed: "Fellow practitioner Huan, your self-confidence is beyond my expectations. As for your question, I can pledge you by oath, and of course, you too. ”
The oath is an oath made by a cultivator with the Tao in his heart. All the monks practice in their lives are the word "Tao", so the Taoist thoughts in the monk's heart are the most important thing for the monk. If you don't obey the oath in the future, there will be an unknown force in the underworld that will dissolve the Taoist thoughts in the hearts of the monks who violate the Taoist oaths, thus breaking the monk's Taoist heart and becoming mortals.
The Dao oath sounds illusory, but the monks of the past and present, who violate the Dao oath, will not be able to escape the punishment of him by the power of creation between heaven and earth, so the promise made by the Dao oath can be said to be impossible to violate.
"Okay, I'll see you in the nine-storied pagoda in three days!" Huan Yin agreed, as if he had stepped into Meng Li's trap. (To be continued.) )
