Chapter 53: The Convergence of the Parties
Sleepy, ask for tickets and collections before going to bed, well, continue the third watch tomorrow!
The Great Hall of Collections.
Different from the layout of the Treasure Hall, there are no secret rooms here, and as soon as you enter the main hall, it is a huge space with a range of thousands of feet.
Rows of bookshelves ten feet high are scattered all around, and they occupy every space of the entire hall. If you look down from a high place, the rows of bookshelves form an eight-square shape from the inside to the outside, like layers of blooming buds, in an orderly manner.
Walking in it, it is as if walking into a labyrinth of twists and turns, and as far as the eye can see, there are bookshelves densely piled with jade slips, and it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
At this moment, Chen Xi stopped in front of a bookshelf, and he had already patrolled all the bookshelves along the main hall.
"Talismans, puppets, beasts, planting, supernatural powers, magic tricks...... This collection hall is so all-encompassing, it's all-encompassing!" Chen Xi couldn't help but exclaim.
Next to him, Ji Yu put down a jade slip in his hand, shook his head and said: "A large number does not mean that it is precious and rare, according to me, nine out of ten of them are ordinary goods." ”
Chen Xi didn't agree, he knew that Ji Yu's vision was extremely critical, and it was reasonable to look down on these jade slips, and for him, these jade slips were extremely precious.
He has been poor since he was a child, and that time he went to the Linglong Pavilion of Songyan City to buy the basic martial arts required for body refining, he was ridiculed by the waitress of the family, if it weren't for Qin Hongmian, the little princess of the General's Mansion, he could only swallow his anger and leave.
Therefore, at this moment, in the face of this almost vast jade slip, he has secretly made up his mind that even if he doesn't cultivate, he will take it all and exchange it for yuan stones, which is also a huge wealth!
However, at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door of the main hall.
Someone came so soon!
Chen Xi's heart sank, it was impossible to search for these jade slips with great fanfare at this moment, but he was extremely unwilling to let him miss so many jade slips like this.
What to do?
If you go to the Treasure Hall and return empty-handed, will you have to repeat the same mistakes in the Treasure Hall this time?
"Swordsmanship, supernatural powers, body skills...... I'll help you pick it out, can you see what's missing?" As he spoke, Ji Yu's detective hand continued to paddle in the void, only to see jade slips flying over like wings.
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can you take them all away?"
Ji Yu's face sank, but he stopped moving in his hands.
Chen Xi secretly screamed badly, he has been with Ji Yu for a long time, he knows Ji Yu's character very well, he can carefully guide himself in cultivation, but if he is asked to help him do something he doesn't want to do, it will definitely not work.
According to Ji Yu, only if he passes all the trials of Tianfeng and becomes a personal disciple of the master of the cave mansion, can he be moved.
Seeing Ji Yu's displeasure at this moment, Chen Xi immediately apologized and said: "Ji Yu's seniors are not strange, it's the juniors who are too greedy, if I can choose, I hope to get some jade slips like talismans." ”
Chen Xi knew that as long as he talked about things like talisman making, Ji Yu would definitely be extremely happy, because his master Fuxi's predecessor was to view the river map and deduce the mystery of the heavenly cycle, so that he could have an epiphany and ascend to the extreme of the Dao.
And it is precisely because of his understanding of the rune that he was able to get out of the secret realm of the stars and get Ji Yu's approval.
Sure enough, hearing that Chen Xi was also obsessed with the way of making talismans, Ji Yu's expression instantly eased a lot, he snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and swiped in the void, and more than a dozen jade slips flew in again.
"Thirteen jade slips of talismans, plus jade slips involving swordsmanship, body techniques, and supernatural powers, I already have twenty jade slips, although it is only a drop in the ocean of the collection hall, but what can be selected by Ji Yu's predecessors should be some treasures. ”
Chen Xi casually put all the jade slips into the storage ring, and immediately followed behind Ji Yu and ran towards the way he came.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, faintly mixed with noisy human voices, Chen Xi is now alone, and all the people who can enter the main hall are Purple Mansion Realm monks, and they are coming together, the huge gap in strength and number of people makes him dare not stay longer, and in order to prevent being discovered, he didn't even move the many jade slips on the bookshelf next to him, lest someone detect anything from the clues.
Unlike the others who entered through the main entrance of the main hall, Chen Xi entered through a hidden path in the main hall, and it was extremely difficult to find this passage unless he explored carefully, so he didn't encounter a single monk all the way back.
"Haha, the collection hall!The collection hall left by the cave immortals!" A hoarse and sharp laugh suddenly resounded in the main hall, "The jade slips on this row of bookshelves are only afraid of tens of thousands, and they have been dusty for thousands of years, but now they are cheaper for us to wait, what a great opportunity." ”
This guy didn't hide his excitement, in front of a secret door in the distance, Chen Xi couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this sound, and was about to step into the secret door to leave here, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice sound, which made him stop.
"Fellow Daoists of the Fengxia Sect, are you happy a little early?" The voice was hearty and gentle, but hearing Chen Xi's ears made his heart surge.
Chai Lotte!
Even if it turned to ashes, Chen Xi also recognized the owner of this voice.
Thinking of being attacked from behind by this guy in the Chiyan Mountain Range, causing him to fall into the abyss, the hatred in Chen Xi's heart surged uncontrollably, and his expression became extremely cold.
"Senior Ji Yu, I decided to stay. Chen Xi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Ji Yu looked at Chen Xi and said indifferently: "Your own enemy solves it by yourself, even if you are killed by the enemy, I will not help you." ”
Chen Xi nodded, for the enemy, only by killing it with his own hands can he pour out the hatred in his heart.
Brush!
Chen Xi looked around, and then bowed his body, tapped his toes on the ground, like a silent civet cat, dexterously jumped on the stone beam above the corner, this stone beam is one zhang wide, criss-crossing with dozens of other stone beams, like a big net running through the sky above the entire hall, hiding on the top without worrying about being discovered by the people below.
And in this position, you can also see the scene of the entire hall, according to Chen Xi's speculation, those monks of Fengxia Valley, and Chai Letian and others will inevitably start a battle in order to compete for the jade slips in the collection hall, so that he can hide here, pick the best time, and carry out a sneak attack on Chai Letian!
The Purple Mansion Realm monk already had mental power, and his six senses were keen, and his perception of the surroundings was extremely sensitive, Chen Xi did not dare to use his mental power, he gathered his whole body's breath, and lay on the stone beam, like a black shadow, and at the same time, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked carefully towards the front and bottom of the main hall.
At this moment, in the collection hall, two groups of monks have gathered.
One group is a group of people led by Chai Letian, Du Qingxi, Duanmuze, and Song Lin...... They are all familiar to Chen Xi.
On the opposite side, there were eight or nine strange monks in different clothes, old and young, the four people at the head were very conspicuous, a thin old man, a burly middle-aged, and a pair of young men and women, the four of them were wearing the same purple robe, and the robe was embroidered with a delicate pattern of fire phoenix flying, and the clouds were swirling, which were the monks from Fengxia Valley that Chen Xi saw when he was in the Blood City.
At this moment, the two groups of people had already taken out their magic weapons and confronted each other in the open space in the middle of the bookshelf, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Hmph, although you are all the children of the major shili from Longyuan City, and your identities are extraordinary, but I'm sorry, for the sake of the jade slip here, it is impossible for us to leave, not only I, Fu Heng, will not agree, but all the Daoists behind me will never agree!" The thin old man of the Fengxia faction said coldly.
"Yes, we will not say yes. ”
"You want us to evacuate voluntarily?
The other monks behind the thin old man Fu Heng also echoed, but their expressions were not relaxed, obviously, Chai Lotian and the others had brought them a lot of pressure.
"Why bother? offend us and others, will you little sects have a good life in the future?" Chai Lotian said slowly: "Aren't you worried that the sect and clan you represent behind you will be uprooted and wiped out?"
"I advise you to leave quickly, Brother Chai's ancestor, but he is one of the only remaining Great Cultivators of the Netherworld Realm in Southern Xinjiang, and dealing with you people is just a matter of words. Yu Haobai of Wanyun Academy shook his head and sighed, he seemed to be delicate and elegant, but his words were full of stammering with Chai Letian.
Fu Heng's thin cheeks suddenly changed, blue and white for a while, and now he was struggling fiercely in his heart. Behind it, the faces of the monks from different cities in southern Xinjiang were also much gloomy.
Is the deterrent power of the Netherworld so great?
Seeing that the fighting spirit of Fu Heng and the others had faded, Chen Xi couldn't help but be secretly anxious, if Fu Heng and the others fled without a fight, then all the jihua he attacked would be in vain.
"Hmph, as far as I know, the predecessor of the Great Cultivator Chai Shao is not an unreasonable person, not to mention that this Sword Immortal Cave Mansion is a borderless land, whoever grabs the jade slip here is whoever, just one sentence to let me wait to leave, it's too much, right?"
Fu Heng gritted his teeth and said: "In my opinion, it is better than this, if Chai Daoyou agrees, I can collect forty percent of the jade slips here, and the remaining sixty percent will belong to you?"
"Impossible!" Chai Lotian immediately vetoed, and sneered: "You want to grab something from me? You are not worthy, I will give you another ten breaths of time, hurry up and get out of this hall, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You ......" Fu Heng's eyes widened, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Hmph, with such guts, you dare to come and grab something from me? Hurry up, it's been five breaths in the past. Chai Lotian shook his head disdainfully.
These guys really have a thief's heart and no guts!
Seeing that Fu Heng and the others were swallowing their anger and not daring to attack, Chen Xi couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Hmph, who should I be, it turns out to be Chai Daoyou from Xingluo Palace!" At this moment, a delicate female voice sounded in the main hall.
Chen Xi raised his eyes and couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good, Su Jiao and his party were also here!
