Chapter 44 Locking the Demon Soul Cup(1/2)

In the next few days, Zuo Lingquan and more than a dozen disciples of his classmates patrolled the Changqing Mountains, and the route was to Lao Lu from Heixiaziling.

The errand patrol is extremely boring and has no remarkable points. The only gain is that I have learned a lot of herbs with the two young sisters in the Danyu Room, as well as common spiritual medicines such as "snake grass" and "firefolium root grass".

According to the original arrangement, the mission of patrolling the mountain would last until the end of the quota election. However, after Zuo Lingquan had just been patrolling for three days, Wu Qingwan sent the message to ask him to go back to the capital and Jiang Yi looked for him. He then took the team back to Qihuang Valley and rested for one day and continued the next day.

After three or four days, the central square of Qihuang Valley had changed drastically. Countless disciples built various facilities on it, and the surrounding corridors, terraces and pavilions were also cleaning.

After Zuo Lingquan went to the sword-wielding room to report, he rode his horse through the ten miles of willow forest and came to the small town outside the gate.

As the news of Jingtu was released at 800 miles in a hurry, the speed of Dadan's arrival at monks from all over the country was much faster than expected; basically, it was learned on the first day that the next day, and even Fushishan, which was far away in Beiya County, the border of Dadan, had already reached halfway.

These lower-level monks have a cultivation level of only 90% of them, so they are definitely not qualified to compete for quotas. When they come to the capital, they are all trying their luck to find opportunities.

Zuo Lingquan rode out of the Octagon Archway and saw that the town outside the gate was crowded with people. Even the sides of the official road outside the town were enclosed and set up on stalls.

The monks who came from all over the world gathered in various stalls to bargain. Occasionally, a senior master of the Taoist practice passed by, which caused many exclamations, and even kowtowed on the spot to seek discipleship.

There were no less than a few thousand people gathered in the town, and they could not ride horses at all. Zuo Lingquan got off the horse and led his foot on foot, and was also watching items sold by the Dadan cultivators along the way.

People who are below the sixth level of practice are not very different from ordinary people. They cannot use high-end treasures of heaven and earth even if they get them. Of course, they are not usually found in the Great Dan Dynasty. The streets are sold with ordinary objects, and occasionally they can see a few spiritual herbs. Zuo Lingquan walked around like a horse and looked at the flowers, and even saw a solder of Killing Knife.

The Knife is actually an ordinary weapon, but it is just a kind of spiritual herb powder applied on it. The objects used by people in practice are generally called "Magic tools", which can produce certain effects by infusing true qi. There are some Qihuang Valley, all in the palm room and in the deacon's hands. It is said that the national master also has a "Magic tools" brought back from outside. Zuo Lingquan cannot refine true qi, and he cannot use it even if he has seen the magic weapon. What he knows is not very specific.

Magic weapons are rare objects in Qihuang Valley, and they are even more of their lifebloods among casual cultivators. They are usually not easy to take them out, let alone buy and sell them. They are generally not visible in small towns.

Zuo Lingquan walked from the end of the street to the street, but did not see the objects that caught his eye. He slowly came to the entrance of Qihuang Town. The entrance of the town is a must-pass place for people to come and go, and the stalls are the most crowded. There is a tea stall next to the entrance, which has been rented and turned into a grocery stall. There are messy objects on the table, and a group of people gathered next to them to pick and choose.

Zuo Lingquan walked up to him and glanced at him. He didn't see the object that caught his eyes. Instead, he saw an acquaintance - Lao Lu, wearing a straw hat, with his sword hanging on his back, and was looking down at a small porcelain bowl on the stall.

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised and led the horse to the nearest, calling out:

"Old Lu? Why are you here too?"

When Lao Lu heard Zuo Lingquan's greeting, he seemed to realize that he smiled hoarsely:

"It's lively here, come and have a look."

When monks who left the sect want to find items, they most likely have to come to this kind of "Immortal Family Market". Zuo Lingquan was not surprised by this. He followed Lao Lu's gaze and looked at the porcelain bowl on the stall.

The porcelain bowl is only the size of a palm, covered with a gauze net. Through the gauze net, you can see a small black beetle crawling around in the porcelain bowl. Except for the darkness, you can't see anything special.

The stall owner of the street stall is an old monk over fifty years old. He closes his eyes and concentrates his mind, and he has a very masterful demeanor. Seeing that the old and the young only look at each other and don’t buy or speak, he was a little anxious and said:

"Two fellow Taoists, this insect is called 'Yeye', which is the bloodline of an ancient divine beast. It can grow into a hundred years. It has the power to move mountains and seas... Last year, I rushed into the land of Changqing Mountain and thousands of miles. By chance, I met..."

Talking about...

Zuo Lingquan was too lazy to listen, so he came to Lao Lu and asked:

"Is there any explanation for this little bug?"

Lao Lu shook his head:

"I'm looking at the bowl."

?

The stall owner's expression froze, but his reaction was quick:

"At that time, the insect king was sealed in this bowl, which was called the "Demon Locking Soul-Suppressing Cup"..."

Zuo Lingquan turned his head slightly, and couldn't tell why, so he asked:

"Old man, what's the price?"

The stall owner looked like hesitating for a while and said:

"Seeing that the two fellow Taoists are destined to be together, I don't want much, I only need two white jade zhu, and the insects and Wan..."

Zuo Lingquan only had three white jade zhu, but he gave it to his fiancée, so he definitely didn't want to use it. He recalled the conversion price of the white jade zhu and stretched out two fingers:

"Two liang, if you don't sell it..."

"Document! Fellow Daoist."

The stall owner clapped his hands, picked up the porcelain bowl and handed it to Zuo Lingquan, looking as if he had met too late.

Zuo Lingquan's words came to an abrupt end, and he opened his mouth, feeling bloody loss.

But there was nothing to say about two taels of silver. He took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it to the stall owner, and took the porcelain bowl.

"Oh~ Fellow Daoist, I've given too much, so I can't find it."

"Forget it, I'll reward you."

Zuo Lingquan took the porcelain bowl and left the stall with Lao Lu, saying a little uncertain:

"Old Lu, this porcelain bowl is ordinary no matter how you look at it. Is there any explanation?"

Lao Lu shook his head and sighed, took the porcelain bowl, threw the little beetle to Zuo Lingquan, then turned over the porcelain bowl, and signaled the small words "Made in Jing Chong in Three Years" at the bottom of the bowl.

The third year of Jing Chong is this year.

??

Zuo Lingquan pinched the little black beetle and spread his hands out, but he stopped talking.

Lao Lu smiled and found a small porcelain bottle from somewhere and threw it to Zuo Lingquan:

"Don't buy things in such places in the future. There are not so many treasures in the world that you can pick up. This little insect is a poisonous insect and is not very valuable. But ten taels of silver are not too much of a loss. Take it back and raise it, just take it to have a memory."

"Been taught a lesson."

Zuo Lingquan spent all his money, so he could only treat it as a memory. He stuffed the black beetle into the bottle and put it into his sleeve.

Old Lu turned around and looked at the crowded Qihuang Valley and asked:

"This time I went to Jingtao to bring great fortune, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you still young, aren't you going to fight for it?"

Zuo Lingquan really wanted to go out to see the world, but he wouldn't force it. He thought for a while and said:

"If you have the requirements for cultivation, you can't go. Besides, I am the princess of the Great Dan. The princess is still here. I can't go now, but I won't go now. I think practicing is to be free and be led by blessings. Wouldn't it be put before the horse?"

When Lao Lu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully:

"This is a good thing. The road to immortality is long. No matter whether it is a blessing or a disaster, you must not forget your original intention and follow your own path. If you can keep this original intention, your future path will not be short."

"Then we have to be able to get on the road..."

...

--------

The monks from various counties arrived one after another, and the river surface where thousands of sails gathered was more prosperous than before. A cruise ship full of officials and nobles in the capital slowly sailed across the riverside and watched the beautiful mountains and rivers along the coast.

Laughing and flute on the cruise ship are intertwined, and the powerful people in the capital are cheering and drinking in the boat building.

At the window of the private room on the second floor of the boat building, Wang Zheng, the Minister of Revenue, held a wine glass in his hand, looked at the endless mountains at the end of his view, and said slowly:

"Fu Tsing Mountain has been watching the Fengshui treasure land of Qihuang Valley for many years, and has speculations about the safety of the national master. However, due to the power of the national master, he dare not act rashly. This time, the court summoned Fu Tsing Mountain to Beijing, and the mountain master Cheng Jiujiang came here in person, probably with the intention of investigating the reality of the national master..."

In the private room, Zhao Ze, who had released the golden hair roar last time, was dressed up as Yuanwailang, and he responded:

"We Tianzun are afraid of Yue Pingyang. Although Cheng Jiujiang has a high level of cultivation, he is still a little worse than our Tianzun. As long as he spys on Yue Pingyang's reality and reality..."

When Wang Zheng heard this, he was a little dissatisfied and turned around and sat down:

"Zhao Daxian, you said that you are powerful all day long, but you didn't see how capable you are. Last time you put a tiger on Xinghua Street to make trouble, your chest was slapped so loudly, and you still have the 'golden spear' that can strengthen your aphrodisiac'. In the end, you just yelled and died suddenly on the spot. The body was completely dragged away by Qihuang Valley to strengthen your aphrodisiac, and there was no hair left behind. Do you think you were here to plan for Qihuang Valley, or come to nourish the enemy?"

Zhao Ze’s ninth level of Qi refining is also considered a bit of a Taoist practice, but he definitely can’t afford to be the word “Immortal Long”.

When talking about the last time the golden retriever died suddenly, Zhao Ze was also a little confused and reluctantly explained:

"Man is afraid of ferocious beasts, and ferocious beasts are actually afraid of humans. The golden roar was caught from the mountains and suddenly put them into the downtown area. It is not impossible to be scared to death by the lights all over the street..."

"Don't mess around. If you do something wrong, you will be ruined. Li Xiang scolded me so much. If you Tianzun really want to enter Qihuang Valley, you can do something practical with your real skills."

“That’s natural.”

"The princess and Qihuanggu have already become suspicious of Fushishan. This time, as long as you take the opportunity to provoke it and let both sides fight, the national master will definitely come out to stabilize the situation. If the national master does not show up, it means that there is indeed something wrong with his body, and Fushishan will definitely take action first; then you can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and Li Xiang can also use the reason that the princess knows people and drives the princess off the stage and takes power."

"I am a practitioner. These conspiracies and tricks are not as good as Lord Wang, you can arrange them."

"What kind of conspiracy? This is called planning!"

Wang Zheng leaned on the chair and thought:

"This time, Qihuang Valley and the princess both attached great importance to it, so they had to make a big fuss. Li Xiang learned the news that the eldest princess's son-in-law has been patrolling the mountains in Changqing Mountains in recent days. If the son-in-law died suddenly in Changqing Mountains, it would not only make Qihuang Valley lose all its face, but also frame the spirit mountain, arouse grudges between the two sides, and also replace the candidates for the son-in-law. It can be said that he can win three goals in one fell swoop."

Zhao Ze nodded slowly and asked, "The prince consort is a practitioner? What kind of Taoism?"

"If you don't have any Taoism, you have good martial arts skills. You have received the favor of the eldest princess and practiced in Qihuang Valley. Don't say you can't even deal with an ordinary person?"

"Ordinary people can deal with it naturally, so please don't worry, Lord Wang."

"Don't mention 'rest' to me, I'm tired of saying hello to you in advance. That kid's family is rich. Although he is an ordinary person, if he really fights, he will definitely throw magic weapons out without any money..."

Zhao Ze's face changed slightly, and he sat upright:

"Magic weapon?! Is this statement true to Lord Wang?"

"How do I know? When you are practicing, people can fight, and your opponent tell you what is under the box first?"

"Haha, it turns out to be a joke..."
