Chapter 485 Qingtan Buddhist Beads
Xu Yang rested in this small teahouse while quietly spreading his ear veins. He stayed there for half an hour and learned some valuable information.
"At present, although the glazed fire road outside the Qinghuo Demon Realm is gradually weakening, the decay rate of the magic fire is not fast. It will probably take at least three months to reduce it to a safe level. In order to pass through the glazed fire road as soon as possible and enter the Qinghuo Demon Realm to find the magic crystal to save the master's declining soul, the best way is to find a high-quality Buddhist magic weapon that can ward off the magic fire. With the help of his own Golden Crow Buddha Flame Spirit to maximize its effectiveness, there should be an 80% chance that he can pass through the glazed fire road." Xu Yang had his own estimate of passing through the glazed fire road.
Afterwards, he carefully visited several shops and finally saw a Buddhist fire-proof magic weapon - Qingtan Buddha beads in the auction announcement of a shop called "Foyou Pavilion".
Qingtan Buddhist beads, a string of thirty beads, each made of the thousand-year-old Qingtan sacred wood on Miaoxiang Mountain, is said to have been left by a powerful monk in Jinfo Temple. It is engraved with thirty-three layers of Buddhist prohibitions for refining instruments, and thirty highly skilled monks chanted the Treasure Flower Sutra day and night for seventy-seven forty-nine days, and injected supreme public virtue to create this treasure. This treasure belongs to the level of top-grade magic weapon, which has the wonderful effect of exorcising evil spirits. After prior verification, it has a considerable restraining effect on the glass magic fire.
Seeing the introduction of this treasure, Xu Yang was very pleased. The levels of treasures are divided into spiritual treasures, magic treasures, and Xuantian spiritual treasures. Each level is divided into four types: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade spiritual treasures. This Qingtan Buddhist bead is already a top-grade magic weapon, which can be called a rare thing in the world.
"Golden Buddha Temple is the first Buddhist sect in Zhongyuan Continent. If it is really a treasure from Golden Buddha Temple, it must be of good quality. The three-legged golden crow Buddha flame spirit in the purple mansion space in my body traces back to the Golden Buddha Temple. If I get this treasure, it will be able to play the greatest effect with the Buddha flame spirit."
Thinking of this, Xu Yang strode into the store.
There are indeed many people in the store who are interested in this treasure. They are dressed differently, including Taoists, Confucianists, Buddhists, and some casually dressed casual cultivators, about 30 people.
In this atmosphere, as a cultivator, it is forbidden to release the divine consciousness at will. If discovered by the deacon or other people in the store, it will be considered as having ill intentions, and it may even trigger the defensive restrictions in the store, causing unnecessary disputes. Xu Yang certainly knows this common sense.
Xu Yang restrained his breath and soul power fluctuations and came to the counter generously.
"If you want to auction this "Qingtan Buddha Beads", please sign up as soon as possible. The condition is that you need to pay a deposit of 100 high-quality spiritual stones first. This shop is specially set up by Changtong Merchant Alliance. It is fair to everyone. The number of places is limited and it is first come first served. This auction is an anonymous auction. You only need to leave your spiritual power fingerprint in advance." A young shop steward in front of the counter introduced loudly.
"I'll do it."
"Count me in."
"And me."
.....
Soon, more than a dozen people paid the auction deposit one after another. Xu Yang also followed the crowd and paid his own deposit, a full 100 high-quality spiritual stones, and according to the rules in advance, he pressed his fingerprint on a piece of ink-colored spiritual stone ink pad placed on the counter to verify his identity in the auction.
"This young man, please take your auction number."
The young steward said, handing Xu Yang a numbered sign, which clearly read No. 23.
Xu Yang nodded and put away the auction sign.
Soon, a young deacon in a gray robe in charge of the auction announced loudly: "The thirty places for this auction are full. Please follow me to the auction hall at the back for the formal auction."
After saying that, the young deacon in a gray robe turned and walked towards a closed door at the back of the house.
In front of the door, the deacon took out an exquisite white jade plate with tiger patterns, and then raised it high to the closed door.
With the infusion of his magic power, white spiritual light was projected on the jade plate, landing accurately on the door. After a while, a huge tiger head pattern appeared on the door.
The tiger head pattern seemed like a living creature, and when the tiger's mouth opened, a low tiger roar came out.
"Ah——", the voice was thick and powerful, as if asking the person who knocked on the mountain.
"It's me." The gray-robed deacon answered simply.
With a "creak", the originally closed door opened by itself.
Seeing this, the gray-robed steward carefully put away the white jade plaque, and then said loudly: "Dear guests, please take out your number plate and enter."
"Even opening the door is so cumbersome, it seems that the treasure today should be worth a lot of money."
"I have seen this treasure, it is a magic weapon from the Golden Buddha Temple in Zhongyuan Continent. Even if it is not used to pass through the Glazed Fire Road, if it is worn on the body to practice Buddhist exercises, it can also stabilize the Buddha's heart and condense the Buddha's intention. For this poor monk, it is a must-have, and others should not compete with my monk Zihuan." A monk wearing a bright red cassock and a pair of black eyebrows on his brow bone like ink painting said in a positive tone. I don't know if he was joking or too confident in his own strength. While speaking, he shook the plaque in his hand, which clearly said number one.
"Dear guests, please come in." The auction steward greeted with a smile.
The thick-browed monk who called himself Monk Zihuan was not polite either. He strode with his head held high and was the first to step into the door, leaving behind his loud laughter, as if he was confident of what he had done.
"I recognize this monk. He was originally a monk at the Golden Buddha Temple. Later, he was expelled from the Golden Buddha Temple for unknown reasons. He practiced in the Zihuan Mountain area and called himself "Monk Zihuan." Someone in the crowd behind whispered.
"I heard that this monk Zihuan had formed a Nascent Soul more than ten years ago and entered the Yuanhun Realm. This person has a domineering personality and ruthless methods. He is well-known in the Qinzhou where Zihuan Mountain belongs to, and every sect will let him Three points. I heard that two famous evil cultivators fell into his hands last year." A young monk wearing a green gown responded in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of? The competition here is about who has the most spiritual stones. It's not a martial arts fight."
...
Perhaps Monk Zihuan was a bit high-profile, which caused a lot of discussion among the people behind him.
"Everyone, be quiet. The time for this auction is limited. Please enter as soon as possible." The auction manager said loudly.
The crowd fell silent, and a full thirty people entered the gate one after another.
Behind the gate, a corridor leads directly to a two-story wooden pavilion in the backyard.
Xu Yang lined up behind the team and followed the crowd into the pavilion.
At the top of the center of the pavilion is a gold-lettered plaque with the four characters "Final Deal" written on it. Below is a three-foot-high auction platform.
In the room, defense restrictions have obviously been set up in advance. There are formation runes visible to the naked eye on the beams, the ground and the beams. The light silver ripples gently like ripples in the lake, revealing an insurmountable feeling. A sense of majesty.
When Xu Yang entered, most of the seats were already occupied, so he had to find a remote corner to sit down. Monk Zihuan, who was the first to enter this place, sat generously in the front seat facing the auction table.
After all thirty people were seated, the gray-robed deacon in charge of the auction steadily walked onto the auction stage.
"Everyone is here to break into the glazed fire path. Therefore, this auction is a special auction. There is only one "green sandalwood Buddha bead". Please bring the treasure up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dignified-looking maid wearing a floor-length blue dress walked up. The waitress in blue skirt held a red lacquer tray in her hands, and a box was covered with red silk cloth on the tray.
When the waitress in blue skirt placed the tray on the square table on the auction stage, the deacon in gray robe waved gently, and the waitress in blue skirt stepped aside generously.
"Before the auction, please take a look at this treasure."
The gray-robed deacon said, removing the red silk, revealing a square, delicate wooden box. There are simple landscape patterns on the wooden box, and it is locked with a machine lock.
Immediately afterwards, the auction manager pinched out a complicated magic formula with both hands, golden light spots appeared on his fingertips, and then his fingertips quickly and methodically landed on the wooden box.
There was a soft click, the mechanical lock on the wooden box opened, and the lid of the box slowly lifted.
Suddenly, a large piece of light cyan light rose out of the wooden box, curling like mist, as if a fairy in blue was dancing.
The gray-robed deacon had a solemn look on his face. He wore a pair of white gloves on his hands, and then slowly took out the treasure in the box.
After a while, a string of thirty green sandalwood beads appeared in front of everyone.
Each prayer bead is as uniformly sized as a chestnut, as warm but not translucent as sapphire, and has mysterious Sanskrit prohibitions painted on its surface.
"Everyone, please pay attention. The quality of this green sandalwood Buddha bead will only be displayed once, so don't miss the opportunity."
After finishing his words, the gray-robed deacon held Buddhist beads in both hands and activated his magic power.
In an instant, the Sanskrit characters on the string of green sandalwood beads suddenly glowed with pale golden light, and slowly flowed like golden spring water. Miraculously, the gurgling voice of the supreme Buddha actually came out. Its sound is thin but not sharp, as smooth as silk, and it goes around the beam without interruption. To the ears of everyone in the audience, it is like many monks chanting Buddhist scriptures in unison, making the listeners feel comfortable and peaceful.
After a while, the gray-robed deacon collected the technique and put the string of green sandalwood beads back into the wooden box.
At this time, the thick-browed monk sitting in front of the auction table had two thick eyebrows raised like swords. There was hope in his eyes, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Green sandalwood beads, we meet again." His appearance seemed to be harmonious. It was like seeing old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and their eyes were full of passion.
Others were also impressed by the magic weapon vision displayed by the green sandalwood beads.
"It is indeed the most precious treasure of Buddhism."
"Good baby."
"With this treasure, we will be able to break through the demonic barriers in the glazed fire path."
"The price of this treasure must not be low."
.......
The guests in the audience were full of praise.
Xu Yang in the corner, although sitting further away. But his eyes and ears are very good, and he has already looked at this treasure carefully. Speaking of Buddhist treasures, he also has a golden-winged flying knife, also obtained from Yuan Liang, who calls himself Yuan Xiaodao. Yuan Liang had been a monk at the Golden Buddha Temple. When he saw the green sandalwood Buddha bead today, Xu Yang immediately concluded that the Buddhist spiritual power fluctuations displayed by this beads were very similar to those on the Golden Winged Flying Knife, and it must be an authentic product from the Golden Buddha Temple.
"This treasure is gorgeous and solemn. It is really a rare Buddhist treasure. It can also be used as the finale of a large-scale auction in Zhongyuan Continent." Xu Yang couldn't help but secretly praise it.
"Next, the auction of green sandalwood Buddha beads officially begins. The auction rules are as follows. The base price is five hundred high-grade spiritual stones, and the price will be increased by at least one hundred high-grade spiritual stones each time. The one with the highest price will get it." The gray-robed deacon said loudly.
The thirty people in the audience each had their own thoughts, some clenched their fists secretly, some touched the storage bags on their waists, and some nodded from time to time...
Without changing his expression, Xu Yang picked up the cup of spiritual tea in front of his seat and took a sip. He thought to himself, I, Xu Xiaoxian, will be the one to buy this treasure.
