I have a long pupil

Chapter 153 Youzhou Five Immortals Sect

"I've seen that old thing..."

Cui Laodao frowned tightly, shook his head and said: "When the elder of the Tiger Temple came to Lushan City, he was seriously injured. It seems that he is still being hunted and killed. He asked Xuandu Temple for protection."

"When Xu Chen received him, I saw the old man from afar. He seemed to speak in a friendly manner, but somehow it made my hair stand on end. No one has ever given me such a feeling."

"Besides, if ordinary people encounter such a thing, most of them will hide from the world and live in seclusion, but this guy is auctioning off the inheritance with great fanfare. Don't you think it's weird?"

"There is indeed a problem."

Zhang Biao nodded in agreement, "Cultivators don't value money so much, especially in the current situation."

"Where is that man?"

He decided to investigate first, anyway, if there is anything strange, the eyes of spiritual vision can see it.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Old Taoist Cui shook his head and said: "I don't know either, that person hid himself after talking with Xu Chen, saying that he was hiding from his enemies, and he would only show up during the auction."

"Hiding?"

Zhang Biao shook his head slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

After the two chatted about the old days, Zhang Biao went back to his room, meditated cross-legged, carried Zhou Tian, ​​and expelled erysipelas.

After doing this, it was already late at night.

It was pitch black outside the window, and fires flashed from time to time. Those were Tiandimen disciples who were watching the night, and their expressions were a little nervous.

After Zhang Biao saw it, he was not surprised.

With the outbreak of corpse plague and the auction, Lushan City must be troubled for a while.

And this auction really reveals something weird...

………………

The next day, there was thunder and heavy rain.

After breakfast, Zhang Biao and Zheng Yongxiang went out to the north of the city led by Cui Laodao.

They were very curious about the Practitioners Market.

As a local snake and the nominal manager of the bazaar, Cui Laodao naturally wanted to show them around.

Although Lushan City is located in a basin, it is not in the center of the plain. Instead, it is built on the hillside, with its back against the boundless mountains.

Because of the plague, there were few people on the street. Coupled with the thick fog and heavy rain, it looked empty, like a ghost town.

Everyone came to the north of the city with umbrellas, and saw a mountain road, built of bluestone, covered with mottled years, with bamboo forests on both sides, winding upwards and leading into the dense fog.

"The above is Lushan Academy."

Cui Laodao explained: "Since the falling out with the imperial court, those hard-headed scholars have been making trouble every day. When King Huaizhou got angry, he ordered the closure of Lushan Academy. Many people are still in prison."

"The cultivator's market must not be held in the city. City Lord Zheng opened the Lushan Academy and handed it over to the old Taoist..."

Zheng Yongxiang also sneered and said: "They are not that simple, it's just that Confucianism set up the stage in the past, and the big guys sang operas. But now the world has changed, they are unwilling to be swept away in the dust, they just want to stand out..."

Everyone walked and chatted, climbing up the stairs.

Soon, a large-scale academy appeared in front of the eyes, the plaques on both sides had been removed, and there were soldiers sent by Lushan City to guard the gate.

The academy is built with extraordinary momentum, the flying beams and brackets are faintly visible in the fog, and there are many archways before entering the door. The students who went up the mountain before will definitely be in awe when they see it.

It's just that the sound of the book is no longer there, and it's even more out of touch with ordinary people.

"This market is divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon."

As Cui Laodao walked, he introduced: "Cultivators seldom trade with money, so in the morning, they barter. Whatever you like, you can trade as long as you negotiate good terms."

"In the afternoon, it will be an auction. If you have something good in hand, you can let the buyer prepare it in advance."

"Deer Mountain City will not take any commission for all transactions."

Zheng Yongxiang also nodded slightly, and said in a low voice to Zhang Biao: "The owner of Lushan City is Zheng Huainan, he is from the same family, and he was quite famous when he was young, so he won the position of the city owner."

"His eldest son also worshiped Xuandu Temple. This move is not only for the sake of the future of Lushan City, but also for the sake of the Zheng family's resources to help his son practice..."

Zhang Biao said calmly: "Everyone has selfishness, it's not surprising."

After entering the academy, Cui Laodao introduced, "Nowadays, the market has just started and there are few things, so we trade in Zhengxintang in the morning."

As he said, he handed Zhang Biao a badge, "The auction is scheduled for three days later, and the defense will be in charge of the Xuandu Temple and the City Lord. I'm going to check the process. You guys go shopping first."

"Okay, you go first."

Zhang Biao nodded and took the badge.

Zhengxin Hall is the main hall of Lushan Academy. It was built extremely huge. In the past, the hall of thousands of people chanting scriptures was also called a scene in Huaizhou.

Entering the main hall, as Cui Laodao said, there are not many people.

The entire hall is divided into large and small rooms, which are built of bricks and stones, neatly arranged, and roughly divided into four areas: herbs, materials, magical instruments, and classics.

Both order and privacy.

After Zhang Biao saw it, he was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to the small commodity wholesale market in his previous life.

Zheng Yongxiang admired you and added in a low voice: "This Daoist Cui is really a genius. He made it like this. In case anyone disobeys the rules and ruins other people's business, he will inevitably be besieged. On the contrary, it can save manpower."

Zhang Biao also nodded and looked towards the center of the hall.

An altar was set up there, and several Xuandu Taoist priests were meditating. Once something happened, the altar could be activated to suppress it with the power of the gods.

The layout is also considered ingenious, but it also proves that Xuanduguan is short of manpower in Huaizhou, and it can't handle it if it encounters a hard stubble.

Seeing that the Taoist priests of Xuandu had noticed him, Zhang Biao nodded slightly, and took Zheng Yongxiang to the herbal medicine area.

On the central altar, several Taoists all looked dignified.

"Brother, is that too old?"

"Well, Brother Lingchong in Moyang City has dealt with him before, and he is considered friendly, but this person is also good and evil, and his Taoism is profound, so be careful."

"Uncle Xu Chen has ordered that the auction is coming soon, and dragons and snakes will inevitably gather. As long as you don't cause trouble in the academy, you don't need to pay attention..."

"Yes, brother."

Zhang Biao didn't have supernatural powers, and he didn't know how many people spoke, so he took Zheng Yongxiang to wander around the herbal medicine area.

Naturally, monks would not yell indiscriminately when trading.

Only half of the shops in the herbal medicine area are used by people, and all the medicinal materials are sealed and stored in clay pots, and only the names are written on wooden boards.

Zhang Biao looked at a few and was disappointed.

Needless to say, precious medicines are not to be mentioned, and these shallow field cultivators can't get them, but there is not even a single one of them.

It wasn't until we came to the end of the herbal medicine area that we saw a large-scale shop with Baishan Pavilion written on it. The gatekeeper disciple was dressed in neat black clothes, quite imposing.

Zhang Biao immediately used the eyes of spiritual vision.

Those disciples are all members of Youzhou Five Immortals Sect.

With a thought in his heart, he walked into the shop.

When the boss saw him, he remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "But Mr. Tai Sui?"

Zhang Biao was a little surprised, "Do you know me?"

The boss said with a smile: "Mr.'s name has been spread all over the world before the mist disaster. It is not everyone who can make Yuzhenfu, Huo Luo Sect, and Shasheng Sect wanted together."

He didn't hide his roots, and said with a smile: "Xia Bai Sanlang, from Youzhou Five Immortals Sect, not long after arriving in Huaizhou, I heard that Mr. Tai Sui is also here."

"It turned out to be a disciple of the Five Immortals Sect."

Zhang Biao had already seen this person's information through the eyes of spiritual vision, pretending to be confused and asked: "Youzhou is far away from here, I never expected to come to Huaizhou."

"Hahaha…"

Bai Sanlang smiled and said: "It's not just Huaizhou, every state in the world, our Five Immortals have sent people, after all, the scenery of the four directions will not only gather in one place."

"That is."

Zhang Biao also nodded in agreement, and then asked curiously: "The Five Immortals Sect is close to the northern border, and there are many rare treasures in the Daxue Mountain. Something strange happened back then, how is it now?"

Bai Sanlang smiled mysteriously, "The Great Snow Mountain is shrouded in thick fog and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, but to be honest, the main altar of my Five Immortals Sect is in the snow mountain."

When Zhang Biao heard it, he immediately understood.

He bought medicine in Jixianfang before, and he heard that strange things happened all over the place. The Daxue Mountain in northern Xinjiang, the main production area of ​​ginseng, had a strange fog early on, and none of the ginseng pickers who went to the mountain returned.

It turns out that these guys did the trick...

Thinking of this, he stopped talking too much, but looked at the wooden board in the distance, and frowned, "There is no high-grade elixir?"

"What did Mr. Tai Sui say?"

Bai Sanlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not been a year since the change of the world, how can there be precious medicines, but if you want the medicinal materials, the small shop still has them."

As he said that, he ordered the assistant to take out a wooden box from the secret compartment, opened it solemnly, and said in a low voice: "This century-old blood ginseng, after its spiritual energy has been revived, has already entered the market, and it is the treasure of the small shop."

After Zhang Biao watched it, there was no wave in his heart.

This blood ginseng was already in human form, but it was the same as the one he got from Liang Qiuyue, it was only barely good, and it was of little use to him.

On the contrary, Tie Yucheng is just practicing, and this medicine is just right.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao asked: "Your education came from afar, so it's definitely not for silver taels. What do you want in exchange?"

Bai Sanlang's eyes flashed brightly, "Mr. Tai Sui is a master, I don't talk nonsense, I heard that you have the inheritance of Fang Xiangzong, do you have any strange herbs found in the spirit world?"

Zhang Biao said thoughtfully: "Your religion has immortals who worship, so finding medicine in the spirit world is easy."

The corners of Bai Sanlang's eyes twitched slightly, "It's not easy to talk about the secrets of our sect, but it's really not easy."

"Oh?"

Zhang Biao was stunned, and then thought of something.

In "You Xian Ji", Tu Lingzi once mentioned that the immortals enshrined by Youzhou Five Immortals are not only vulgar gods, but also related to demons.

Some powerful "demons" and "essences" can open up small spaces like mice digging holes, so-called "caves".

Daxue Mountain used to be full of spiritual energy and many monsters, so there were many mysterious places that even the Five Immortals did not dare to set foot in, especially the spirit world, which was even more dangerous.

This aura has just recovered, even if they can find the spirit body of the fairy family to enshrine, I am afraid it will not be much stronger.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao pondered for a while, and took out half a piece of refreshing grass from his arms, "Is this okay?"

These refreshing herbs were picked by him from the dragon corpse medicine field, and after giving some to Aunt Yanshan, there were only half of them left.

"This is... the God Refreshing Grass!"

Bai Sanlang exclaimed, his eyes full of pain and said: "Surrender, Mr. Tai Sui still has more, we want them all!"

really…

Zhang Biao secretly laughed in his heart, this refreshing herb was just for him to detoxify Gu and detoxify, but for cultivating incense and fire vulgar gods, it was no weaker than precious medicine.

Thinking of the seeds sown in the Liu Ling Divine Realm, his heart felt hot, but his face remained calm, "It took a lot of effort to find this thing, only half of it is left."

Seeing the disappointment in Bai Sanlang's eyes, he said in a low voice: "It's not a problem to help you find them in the spirit world. It depends on how much you are willing to pay."

Bai Sanlang's breathing became short of breath, "What do you want, sir?"

Zhang Biao's eyes also became serious, "The world has changed drastically, I am alone, and many things are kept in the dark."

"I want to know what's going on in this world!"

This is another purpose of his coming to Lushan City.

For many things, the sect's gate was very tight, Ling Chong was too vigilant, and he couldn't take action against Xuan Du Guan, and the elders of the Tiger Temple hid again, so they had to deal with the Five Immortals Sect.

After hearing this, Bai Sanlang's expression changed, and he stopped talking.

Zhang Biao shook his head slightly, "If that's the case, forget it."

After that, he turned around and left.

"Wait a minute, sir!"

When he was about to leave, Bai Sanlang's eyes were cloudy, and he finally said, "I can't decide on this matter, but my teaching elders will come to Lushan City tomorrow. If he agrees, I will talk to you in detail."

Zhang Biao didn't speak, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Afterwards, he took Zheng Yongxiang to the magic weapon area, and after walking a few steps, he saw the back of a graceful woman.

Seeing this, Zheng Yongxiang said in a low voice: "Master Immortal, that is the Jiangyu hired by the Wang family."

Before he finished speaking, he saw murderous intent in Zhang Biao's eyes...
