Chapter 319: Black Magic Stone (Third Update)
Red Maple Inn.
In a guest room on the second floor, two young men in their thirties sat at a table, their faces a little ugly. Both of them were dressed in the same way, and their hair was messy as if it hadn't been washed for a long time, hanging down on their heads.
Syllable!
The man in gray drank the wine and slammed his glass on the table with a dull sound. The man's face was gloomy, and he scolded and said: "Damn, those fools who think very highly of themselves still think that they are some kind of immortal masters, but they didn't expect that one by one, they have eyes and no beads, and they actually treat our treasure as an ordinary broken stone, and say that it is worthless." ”
"That's right, we have worked hard to dig up two pieces from a gloomy cemetery, and we were so scared that we died, how could it be a broken stone? Can such a psychic gem be an ordinary broken stone?" the man in black also looked angry.
They were originally disciples of a small sect in the northern part of the Southern Wilderness, and they have always dreamed of cultivating and becoming immortals, so if they don't practice seriously for a day, they like to wander around the deep mountains and old forests, hoping that one day pies will fall from the sky, so that they can find something like the immortal cave, and then get the inheritance, and from then on, they will ascend to the sky, become immortals, and enjoy the world.
A few months ago, the two walked through a cemetery, and saw that those tombs were relatively old and badly damaged, so they had a whim, speculating that they were the tombs of the strong who fell in ancient times, so they were driven by greed, and they had the courage to start digging people's ancestral graves, digging more than a dozen in a row, and the treasures were not found, but they found two strange stones.
The stone is spherical and black like a charcoal block. It's the size of a bowl, but it's unusually heavy. What's even more bizarre is that when they found the stone, a thick black gas gathered around the stone, and the man in gray accidentally broke his hand while digging the grave, bleeding continuously, but accidentally found that the dripping blood beads were dragged towards the stone by a strange gravitational force, and then swallowed by it.
The two of them suddenly felt that the heavens had opened their eyes, and finally hit them with a pie, and without thinking about it, one of them picked up a strange rock and fled from the cemetery. Because they had been digging people's ancestral graves before, they were almost on the verge of collapse, and after coming back to their senses, they were haunted by fear, thinking that there were ghosts chasing them, so they ran all the way, and finally ran out of the cemetery with great difficulty.
After leaving the large cemetery, the two recalled what happened before, and felt that they had escaped death, and their hearts were palpitating.
After that, as soon as the two put it together, they were ready to find buyers who knew the goods, and then made a fortune.
In the central region of the Southern Wilderness, there are many immortal masters, so after some discussion, the two of them walked towards the central region from the northern part of the Southern Wilderness with strange stones, and halfway heard that the auction was about to be held in the Fire City, so they turned here.
The two have always regarded the strange stone as a treasure that is difficult to find in the world, and they want to take it to the Lihuo Auction House for auction at that time to make a big profit. Even if it can't be sent to the auction house, there are immortal cultivators from all over the world gathered here, and there must be people who know the goods. So the two were full of hope, and the treasure was undecided, so they began to plan how to spend it after the windfall.
It's a pity that it backfired, just today, they set up a stall in the center of the fire city, and there were a lot of people who saw it, but everyone was disappointed after seeing it, and then glanced at them like idiots, shook their heads and left.
The two of them were inexplicable, and they persisted for a few hours, but the situation still did not improve, so they couldn't help but ask a cultivator who seemed to have advanced cultivation about the reason, but they were told that this was a magic stone, and it was useless for the cultivator to ask for it, and if it was carried for a long time, it was very likely to be eroded by the demonic qi.
The two of them were frightened, but they refused to believe it, and always felt that they had spent a lot of effort and nine deaths to dig up something, how could it be a broken stone, and they asked others unwillingly, but the result was the same.
The half-believing two were a little discouraged, and wanted to find a place to settle down temporarily, and then look for others the next day, but the inn in the center of the city was already full, so the two of them jumped all the way, and came here inexplicably, and found this "Red Maple Inn".
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the threshold of the inn, the shopkeeper said that it was full, and the two who were already in a bad mood were suddenly furious, and forcibly went upstairs to check, so they found that the room they rented was empty, regardless of the shopkeeper's obstruction, they moved in strongly, and beat the nagging shopkeeper.
"Senior brother, do you think this is really what those people call the Black Magic Stone?" the man in gray asked. Although they said that they didn't believe it, they had already begun to doubt it in their hearts, after all, one person saying this may be a deception, or it may be illiterate, but it is a bit intriguing that so many people say so.
"This ......" The man in black himself began to wonder if the two of them really regarded the broken stone as a treasure, but he couldn't admit it in front of his junior brother, but he insisted that it was a treasure, so he said: "Those people today are just some nobodies, and tomorrow we will invite those respected immortal masters to take a look, I don't believe it, this is really just a broken stone." ”
As soon as Dichen and the others walked outside the guest room, they heard the conversation between the two. For that person's outrageous words, Di Chen secretly laughed and said, "Respected immortal masters know which onion you are?" Shaking his head, he wanted to walk over and push the door, but was stopped by Feng Qingyan.
"What's wrong?" Dichen asked, confused.
"Did you hear what they said just now?" Feng Qingyan looked at the door of the guest room, trying to hear the two people inside more clearly.
"It seems that they are carrying some treasures, but those high-level cultivators say that they are broken stones, and they are angry. Dichen only heard some intermittently, and said in a patchwork manner.
"Black Magic Stone. Feng Qingyan said.
"What's wrong with the Black Magic Stone? Isn't that a stone that can gather and devour the demonic qi between heaven and earth? Di Chen looked at Feng Qingyan suspiciously.
Feng Qingyan turned his head, his head almost collided with Di Chen, his breath stagnated, and he quickly took a step back, and only after a moment did he say: "The Black Magic Stone is indeed of no great use to us, but it is extremely useful to demon cultivators, just like leaving the dead. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I once heard the elders of the clan say that wherever there are black magic stones, there is a certain possibility of 'undead demon vines'. ”
"What...... What?" Dichen almost exclaimed, and quickly covered his mouth, the news was too shocking for him. If that's the case, then they can start with the two people in the guest room and find out where they found the Black Magic Stone. If the heavens are pitiful, maybe let them find an "Immortal Demon Vine", even if there is no "Immortal Demon Vine", it is enough to be able to find half of the "Immortal Demon Root".
"Wait, since you said that the Black Magic Stone is extremely useful to demon cultivators, and the four sects of the Demon Sect are all demon cultivators, it is impossible to have no Black Magic Stone, right?" Di Chen thought of this question.
"The black magic stone does not have the ability to produce demonic energy, it can only condense the surrounding demonic qi, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a Juyuan array, the reason why it is extremely useful to demon cultivators is only at some critical moments, such as in the face of battle but the magic power is insufficient, having a black magic stone that stores demonic energy, it can quickly replenish the magic power, and the effect is equivalent to the kind of elixir that the immortal cultivator refines to quickly restore the yuan power, most of the time, it is actually dispensable. What's more, the Black Magic Stone doesn't know how to produce it, and it is a hundred times more difficult to find than many precious heavenly and earthly treasures. Feng Qingyan explained.
"I see, then we ......"
Squeak!
Before Dichen finished speaking, Feng Qingyan had already pushed open the door of the guest room.
"Who are you?" The two people in the room were startled, jumped up from their chairs, drew their swords from their waists, and stared nervously at the two people who walked in with a calm expression, while the greedy wolf and the fire python were directly ignored by them.
"The staying guests of this room. Feng Qingyan said with a smile.
"Guest, this room?" the man in gray pointed at his long sword and scolded: "Nonsense, this room is obviously ours, why can't we find a place to stay, and want to occupy the magpie's nest?"
"......" Feng Qingyan was speechless when he heard this, glanced back at Di Chen, and made an inviting gesture at him, indicating that he was too lazy to nag with them, and left everything to Di Chen.
Who encroached on whose room?
Di Chen shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, sat down on the chair as if no one was around, and said, "You said that you rented it, what evidence is there?"
"What evidence? The evidence we are standing here here is evidence, and the shopkeeper is also evidence. The man in black said.
"But how did I hear the shopkeeper say that you forcibly seized it. Dichen said with a smile.
"We ......" The two of them were speechless for a moment, opened their mouths several times but couldn't speak, and after a while, the man in black said: "That's right, we take it, but it's someone else's, not yours." And we're already here first, so you'd better find another place to stay. ”
Dichen is angry and funny, they can occupy the guest rooms rented by others, and they can not talk about first come, first come, first come, but when others are ready to encroach on their guest rooms, they talk about first come, first come, first come, what is the final say.
"But if this chick is ......"
The slap was crisp and loud, the man in gray flew up, and with a "click" he broke through the window and disappeared, leaving only Feng Qingyan who maintained the slapping action in the room, as well as the sluggish Dichen and the frightened man in black.
The big knife in the black-clothed man's hand fell to the ground, and sweat began to bubble up from his forehead one by one, and then rolled down his cheeks.
After a while, Di Chen came back to his senses and secretly scolded the man in gray for being cowardly, and he actually had the idea of Feng Qingyan. You know, even if it's yourself, you don't dare to ...... No, Dichen didn't have her idea.
"Look, what is this?" Di Chen took out the door plate from the ring and handed it to the man in black who was standing there stunned. The man in black looked puzzled, took it tremblingly, couldn't stand anymore, "pounced" and knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head and made amends again and again: "Uncle spare life, immortal master spare life, hero spare life, small ...... Small ......"
Di Chen waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get up, I have something to ask you." ”
