Thirty-year-old cute
The next protective vestment to be auctioned was red and green, and it was really ugly. Lu Yinche had no interest at all, so he started chatting with Xie Qiaosheng, picking up a random topic and asking him about Xie Juncun's background.
"I don't know," Xie Qiaosheng replied lazily, "Master must have picked it up somewhere. It just came suddenly, and this is the first time I've seen it."
"What's the name of his sword?"
"It seems to be called Qiwu. The Qiwu that the phoenix roosts on the phoenix tree. I know that one, and it looks like a really good sword." The sword cultivator's eyes lit up with envy. These guys, when talking about swords, it was like ordinary men seeing a BMW luxury car. "If I didn't have some dignity, I really want to borrow it to practice with him. Otherwise, I can just exchange a few moves with him."
Qiwu.
There are dragons lurking in the abyss and phoenixes perching on the wutong tree.
This sword is a pair with Yan Yanshu's. Lu Yinche didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable.
He casually said, "That was given to him by his mother. When you bully a child, keep it in your arms and don't use too much force."
Xie Qiaosheng grumbled, "How could I bully him? He even learned the sword techniques from his uncle by himself. He has a sword bone that is one in a hundred. He is really amazing."
Lu Yinche didn't seize the opportunity to laugh at him for being jealous of young people.
What the cultivation world lacks the most is a constant stream of talented freaks. Old guys like them will eventually be beaten to death on the beach. Lu Yinche didn't doubt this at all.
I just feel a little bit regretful that I accidentally added 500 years to my age.
At this time, Xie Juncun came back.
She still had a tall and graceful figure, with a long sword in a scabbard wrapped in black cloth on her back, and a brocade box in her hand, which should be the Sumizi that was photographed just now.
Lu Yinche saw that he was wearing a mask tightly and had never taken it off, which completely covered four of his facial features, leaving only his black pupils exposed.
This look doesn't really match the facial features of Xie Juncun in my mind. It's like a puppet without a human face, which always reminds me of other people's faces, such as -
Lu Yinche thought of the oath he had just made and paused.
He looked at the brocade box in Xie Juncun's hand with envy: "Can you please let me open my eyes? This is of great quality. I have never seen anything like it before."
Xie Juncun was generous and didn't tell him not to break it. He immediately handed the whole box to him.
Xie Qiaosheng beside him shook his head and said sarcastically: "Lu Yinche, you like this? This is the young master's rich hobby."
No one pointed out to him that this was something Yan Yanshu had spent a huge amount of money to buy.
Lu Yinche held the box but didn't touch it, fearing it would drop and he wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if he sold it. The small object wasn't a regular sphere, but rather had slight angles. The light reflected off it at different angles, but it wasn't dazzling.
You need to inject a little spiritual power to see clearly inside, miniature bamboo forests and flowing water under small bridges, a few fish jumping out of the stream, and colorful flowers that are bright but not messy.
It’s really beautiful, Lu Yinche simply likes it very much.
What we are saying is, can we ask Yan Yanshu for another breakup gift or something? He promises to clarify to the whole world that the so-called Taoist couple relationship is fake, and it is him, Lu Yinche, who is wrong.
Yan Yanshu was clean and bright, spotless, and had nothing to do with him.
He closed the brocade box reluctantly and returned it.
Xie Juncun didn't take it and said, "Since you like it, why not leave it here for now?"
I dare not.
Lu Yinche shook his head: "What if I break it? It's so precious."
"I believe in the seniors."
Lu Yinche just found it funny. This kid, who had only known him for two days, dared to believe him even in a "devil" that was hated by everyone. If Cheng Xiaozong really let him wander around alone in the future, wouldn't he be cheated out of even his underwear?
"Why do you trust me? Do I look like a reliable person?" he asked with a smile.
If Xie Qiaosheng hadn't gone out to relieve him, he would probably have had an expression that said, "You still have some self-awareness."
Xie Juncun's voice was a little distorted through the mask, but it was not difficult to hear his sincerity.
He said, "Because seniors are cute, I like seniors."
Lu Yinche's old face turned red.
This kid, why is he still trying to tease him even after leaving Huangquan Market?
Fortunately, Xie Qiaosheng went out to release the water and didn't hear it.
So he hummed and hawed, and didn't talk about this topic. Ask him about the specific details of his experience yesterday.
Xie Juncun was indeed decisive and efficient. He released a group of imprisoned girls from the cliff edge, burned the unhealthy-looking mushrooms, reported to Xie Qiaosheng, and returned to find them. Meanwhile, the village where Lu Yinche was staying was in chaos, and Cheng Xiaozong had to send in more people to clean up.
It’s not his fault. We need to analyze the specific situation.
After Xie Juncun answered the question, he asked Lu Yinche what his plans were next.
Lu Yinche hadn't thought it through either.
He had initially come to Yaocheng, following divine guidance and a sense of Mingye. He hadn't been there for a few days, and the Mingye Sword was still missing, unresponsive to his call. Could it have been melted down by some unscrupulous person and cast into a toilet door? That was a bit tragic, a sword so stinky that it blocked his perception...
I don’t even know what opportunity it is or where it is.
It can't be that the Heavenly Dao is unhappy with that old wall lamp master and the evil master who claims to be his disciple, so he asked him to deal with these two useless people.
Lu Yinche felt that he was not qualified for the job at the moment.
Let’s leave the fighting to professional fighters like Jian Xiu.
Seeing that he was silent, Xie Juncun thought he had nowhere to go, so he suggested considerately, "Senior, why don't you go to the northern border to take a look?"
When he started selling, it was obvious that he had never done this kind of work before. His language was awkward and far inferior to the group of northern merchants that Lu Yinche had met outside the city before.
He seemed to want to introduce the scenery of Ranchuan, where Cheng Xiaozong was located, but when the words came to his lips, he turned around and changed it to: "Although Ranchuan is a bit cold, it's nice to see the scenery occasionally. There is also Xumizi. The Sword Saint doesn't have time to play with this."
What I mean is, I stole it and gave it to you to play with.
Good boy.
Lu Yinche almost wondered if he was really courting her.
No matter what, I am your uncle's current Taoist partner, who was pierced through the heart by a sword. This is not advisable.
He smiled and asked, "How do you know he's not free?"
Before Xie Juncun could reply, Xie Qiaosheng came in. He happened to overhear the end of their conversation and continued, "That's true. My uncle has been in seclusion for many years, not concerned with the secular world. After all, at his level, what in the world would be worth leaving? He has reached the Great Perfection of the Guixu Realm and is unrivaled in the world."
When Lu Yinche heard this state, he was prepared, but still felt sad.
I said bitterly in my heart, Mother Wei, please save me and apply for treatment, otherwise I will have to hope for reincarnation.
As we chatted, time passed and the emcee, Miss Qin, read out the finale item, which was the second to last item for sale.
It really is dragon tooth.
Lu Yinche leaned over to take a look, and it was indeed the snake fang he sold.
This Yao City auction was such a grand spectacle, but it turned out to be a makeshift operation. They had several layers of protective formations, including a glazed golden bell. It seemed they weren't trying to prevent others from using their spirits to disrupt the auction, but to prevent others from using their spirits to identify the authenticity of the auction.
The starting price is 200,000.
There were a few individual customers on the first floor who raised their hands, but they stopped talking when the price reached 300,000. Only the private rooms on the upper two floors were left, where people were trading hands, pushing up the transaction price.
"Dragon Tooth" was finally taken down in a box on the second floor.
Lu Yinche secretly noted down the location of the box he had photographed, while still telling Xie Juncun a story, which was a rumor he had heard in his early years.
Everyone talks about Kyushu, but in fact the main land is the five areas of east, south, west, north and center, with four islands to make up the number. The land is separated by mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
Among them, the Heart Sea east of Xizhou, which separates it from the North and Middle-earth, is the vastest. Several rivers originating from the ice and snow rivers converge here. One of them comes from the North and is called Yanshui River.
He paused, and seeing that Xie Juncun was listening attentively, like a supportive audience, he tilted his head slightly to signal him to continue.
The Yanshui River runs from west to east and is hundreds of miles wide at its narrowest point. Its waves are turbulent and it often changes its course and swallows up fertile farmland.
Ancient records indicate that in ancient times, this area was a fertile land known as Yanzhou. One month and year, a great war broke out between gods and demons, causing the heavens and earth to change color. A dragon, tired of the conflict, plunged into the Yanshui River, splashing water that flooded Yanzhou, transforming the area into a vast ocean.
What's strange is that there's normal water flowing all around it, but in the middle there's a sudden patch of ice and snow, like a bald spot. People in the north regard it as a sacred place, and dare not approach it easily, calling it the Ice Sea.
Another theory is that when local fishermen pray sincerely, fish and shrimp will be spit out from the holes in the ice near the shore. This is a gift from the dragon god who lives there.
"But I don't think there's any such thing as a Dragon God," he added at the end. "Dragons are incredibly lazy, never cultivating, relying on their innate divine powers to wield them. If they could become gods, then Heaven is being rather inactive."
Xie Juncun: "Senior, have you ever seen a dragon?"
Lu Yinche thought for a moment and said, "I haven't had much contact with him. I just heard about him from others."
Xie Qiaosheng said, "Gods don't enter this world. They eat, drink, and play in the upper realm's aura. Thanks to you, we are now also soaking in the aura."
Lu Yinche smiled modestly.
He began to think about what to do after the auction. When would the sect reinforcements Xie Qiaosheng had called arrive? Did he recognize the people who were coming? Should he greet them first? He didn't want to leave out the "Feather Immortal" who was participating in the auction, as this might cause trouble later.
While thinking, he unconsciously played with the sword techniques in his hand and took out a golden lotus.
Xie Juncun saw it and asked, "Is it the Lotus Sword Intention?"
Lu Yinche said yes.
He was good at making these things. They were small and exquisite, and the energy they released was more powerful than thousands of real swords and spears. At his peak, he could produce twenty-seven petals, but now he only had six. It looked more like a sunflower than a lotus.
He felt a little embarrassed to be looked at.
He quickly closed his hands and the sword intent dissipated.
Fortunately, at this moment, the emcee mentioned the last item for auction today, saving Lu Yinche from his unilateral embarrassment.
Two women worked together to carry it onto the stand.
A long sword lay quietly on the table, having been pulled out of its scabbard.
The cold light on the sword body converged, and fine lines could be vaguely seen.
The scabbard was elegantly decorated, without any gold or jade inlay. A pendant made of Miaoyin wood was tied to the end. It looked a bit odd, neither square nor round, and it would definitely not be sold in the market.
——Lu Yinche rubbed it with his own hands.
"Everyone, please look, the Naruto sword."
Lu Yinche stood up.
