Chapter 133

The two people on the top of the cliff didn't know that on a snowy night not long ago, on the edge of this cliff, there were two amazing people who had a conversation, which directly changed the situation of the cliff city, the sky rift valley, and even the wider world. situation.

The reason we met here was because the Tianyi Tower was making the final arrangements for the evening Yibao Banquet, so it was not suitable for conversation, and Yu Ci felt that this place was higher than the Tianyi Tower, with a wider view, which gave him the feeling Also better.

Zhao Zi said naturally he has no objection.

At this time, the two of them were sitting on the ground very casually. Geng Fu, the fat shopkeeper of the Tianyi Building, sent two skilled men to climb up the cliff, specially bringing blankets for the floor, desks and other things, and carefully arranged them.

Zhao Ziyue seemed to be a slow-tempered person, and his speech was more indirect and subtle. After formally expressing his apology, he began to chat with Yu Ci about some irrelevant things, and slowly leaned on the situation in the precipice city. And some things he saw in the past two days.About how is Bairi Mansion, what is Wanlingmen and other sects, including the movements of demons and so on.

At the end, he sighed: "The situation at one time and one place is also very difficult. As a foreigner, I am dazzled by it. It must be hard work for fellow Taoists to preside over the affairs inside and outside the city."

This is a good thing to sell, Yu Ci glanced at him and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that complicated."

As he spoke, he drew a line on the case table, and tapped his fingers on both sides: "It's either this side or that side. What I want to do is to turn the two sides into one side, it's very simple."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Yu is indeed a bold person, a bold person!"

Zhao Ziyue could still hold the smile on his face, but he couldn't catch up with what he said later.

The conversations so far are not the attitude of a cultivator who is able to return to alchemy, but the attitude of Lichen sect towards a "outsider".Yu Ci was already used to this role, and it seemed that Zhao Ziyue also had this realization, and he began to think seriously.

Yu Ci didn't care about him, looking down from this side, the bricks and tiles on the top of thousands of houses in Cliff City reflected the sunlight, making the weather at the end of winter seem to be getting warmer, and spring is approaching, even the air has become humid stand up.He took a long, deep breath, and the ichthyosaur in front of him sensed it, swung its tail, and circled around him.

It has been nearly ten days since the ichthyosaurus was raised with the spirit control method, and the induction between the two has become more and more clear.Even if Yu Ci closes his eyes, he can still feel Xu Fangyuan's movement trajectory of fish and dragons around him. Sometimes the little guy gets close, and when he breathes, he feels that the breath of the two is interlinked. Of course, most of the time it is fish and dragons. Long unilaterally sucked his vitality to enrich himself, but it still formed a connection.

Perhaps it was because he was too involved in practicing the "Xuanyuan Fundamental Qi Method" before, so Yu Ci consciously or unconsciously used the thinking of objects and minds to think about it.Especially the idea of ​​"focusing on the whole, starting from the structure, using foreign objects to reflect the mental image", because it is his proud work, the influence is even more profound.

He thought about it more than once, if fish and dragons were included in his "inner void", what kind of interesting appearance would it be.

But, it's just a delusion after all.

As living beings, ichthyosaurs have lively aura and complex changes in form and spirit. Even if they are not comparable to human beings, they are far superior to those magic weapons with regular structure and relatively simple operation of aura.He is not a genius like Xie Liang, even if he transforms fish and dragons into his "images", it is difficult to connect them with a "stroke" and reflect them in the "empty heart".

To put it bluntly, I still can't grasp it, and even if I hook it, what's the use?

While thinking similar thoughts, Zhao Ziyue spoke again:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, is this ichthyosaur really not for sale?"

Hearing this, Yu Ci turned his attention away from the fish and dragon, feeling slightly displeased.But looking at Zhao Ziyue's appearance, he was very sincere, he cupped his hands at Yu Ci and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, it's not that I don't know the rules. In fact, I understand the rules of this Yibao Banquet too well. If you want to exchange for something you like, it may not be so easy!"

"Oh?"

Seeing that Yu Ci was interested, Zhao Ziyue continued with a smile, "Our northern wilderness is poor in resources. We live there, and most of the useful things must be supplied by those big merchants in the south. The prosperity of the shops , is much stronger than here. Therefore, I also understand the usual methods of these big merchants. Just like this Yibao Banquet, fellow Taoists can see them handing out the list of treasures before the banquet?"

"This is not."

"Look, if a treasure list is not issued in advance in such a meeting like this trading auction, how will the participants know if there is anything they need in it? How will they allocate and raise resources and exchange them? Since resources cannot be allocated in time, The level of this Yibaoyan will be greatly reduced, and the Xinxin Pavilion is also a time-honored brand in this world, so how can you not know the truth?"

Zhao Ziyue pointed to the ichthyosaur flying in the air, and said: "In this case, it is just for people to try their luck. Only a very small number of people will prepare rare things like ichthyosaurs in advance like fellow Taoists. Bring it to the banquet and show it. Most people just join in the fun, see if there are any strange things on the Yibao banquet, and try to exchange if they agree, otherwise there is no loss.

"As for the Xinxin Pavilion, they will definitely come up with a few high-quality treasures. Generally, they are slightly higher than the tolerance of the local people, and let them weigh them carefully. If the exchange is successful, it is an ordinary business; if it cannot be exchanged, It can also leave behind the reputation of Xinxin Pavilion for producing high-quality goods..."

"A gimmick?" Yu Ci concluded in this way.

"Exactly!"

Zhao Ziyue clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Big merchants like Suixin Pavilion, their main business income is still big transactions. Such small caravans are just a few gimmicks. If you want to find something you want on this, you must have It's full of good luck, why don't fellow daoists say clearly, what do you want to exchange for fish and dragons, I also have a few threads in my hand, and I can mix a lot of good things, maybe it will satisfy fellow daoists?"

Hearing his words, Yu Ci couldn't help looking him up and down for a moment, and finally smiled: "What fellow Taoist said, it's sensible and reasonable, I've learned a lot. But it's a pity, this fish and dragon has an owner..."

Zhao Ziyue left with a disappointed expression. Yu Ci watched the green light barrier stretched outside him, and the controller flew down the cliff, but he didn't look back for a long time.

This guy really wants to buy a ichthyosaur, so it's reassuring, but judging by his behavior, it may not be that simple.

Yu Ci suddenly misses the days when he had the picture of the gods.Things in the world have always been easy from frugality to extravagance, but difficult from extravagance to frugality.At this moment, he was thinking, if there is a picture of the gods here, not to mention a Zhao Ziyue, even the turmoil of the entire cliff city can't be hidden from him!

Since the battle with Nansongzi made the picture of Zhaoshen disappear, he has carefully refined the bronze mirror of Zhaoshen every day to make it more delicate and tight in response to his own breath. According to the tidal changes of the aura inside the Illuminating Bronze Mirror, according to the standard of the "Tian Gang Di Sha" sacrificial refining method, the stacked spells would have reached more than five layers, but the Illuminating Map still has not recovered.

Yu Ci never thought that he would not be able to walk without the Divine Map, just like this case of the Precipitous City.If he were alone, even if he had a picture of the gods, he would never be able to control the entire city in just a few days, overwhelming the Bai Ri Mansion.It's just that people are always a little greedy...

"What do you think?"

Xie Yan's voice came out suddenly, Yu Ci was startled.Turning around, he saw Xie Yan standing behind him at some point, he quickly stood up, and saluted with a smile: "Uncle Xie."

In the past few days, Yu Ci and Xie Yan's tacit understanding has grown deeper and deeper, and their titles have also changed unconsciously. From the relatively native "Xie Xianchang" to "Xie Shibo", in fact, they have surpassed the status of outer disciples, but Xie Yan doesn't care. , naturally everything is easy to handle.

Xie Yan ignored him, and only cast his eyes on the fish dragon, observing the little guy's moving posture, after a long while, he nodded: "You did a good job."

Then he said, "Go down."

"Now?"

You must know that the Yibao Banquet will not start until more than two hours later, as Xie Yan, let alone now, even if he is late for a while, no one dares to gossip.Such eagerness can only show that Xie Yan attaches great importance to the golden bone and jade plate.

Knowing this, Yu Ci naturally wouldn't have any objections, immediately he was wrapped in Xie Yan's sword energy and fell straight to the top floor of Tianyi Tower.The appearance of the two of them caused quite a commotion, not to mention those who were purely watching the fun on the covered bridges on both sides, and some monks who came earlier on the lower three floors also couldn't help talking.

Zhao Ziyue and his companions, except for the one who was injured by Lu Mingyue and who was still recovering at the inn, the rest arrived early and wandered among the floors, gathering and dispersing from time to time, looking leisurely.After the news of Xie Yan and Yu Ci's arrival came, the six of them gathered together to chat again, their faces were very relaxed, but the content of their words was very serious:

"I didn't figure it out before I came here, and I wanted to 'touch' fish in troubled waters. Now it seems that the 'chaos' of this cliff city is 'chaos', but the water is not muddy!"

Zhao Zi said his thin lips moved slightly, his voice was low but clear:

"I chatted with the person upstairs for a while. That person's cultivation base is mediocre, but he knows how to take advantage of the situation, and his mind is not small. It seems that he will make some moves in the near future. With Li Chenzong supporting him, if we fall into trouble Go in, I'm afraid you won't be able to pull out your origin, remember, from now on, don't act rashly, stop the 'big' business first, wait for this wave of 'chaos' to pass, and then talk about other things, understand?"

The companions nodded one after another. Sha Cong was the second child in this group. Although he was arrogant and rude, he still had a clear mind. He lowered his voice and said:

"The few customers I found before..."

"Big or small?"

"Small business, serious business."

"Do it, why don't you do it. Is Yibao a good opportunity for us second-hand dealers to act? Remember, we are 'second-hand dealers'. It doesn't matter if you buy or sell something. We need to find more customers and make a name for yourself. But, don't Crossed the line. Whoever dares to take on the 'big' business so that everyone can't get off the stage in the end, don't blame my brother for not being sympathetic!"

As he spoke, the lion cat in his arms let out a "meow", with a sharp and piercing tone.Sha Cong and the others bowed their heads in response.
