Divine Reverence

Chapter 57 The Mysterious Old Man
"Everyone, these artifacts are all entrusted by our customers to be auctioned in our store, so please read it before you read it." Nan Huangshang did not panic, but continued the business calmly.

"The next thing we are going to auction is an ancient book "Dongtian Qinglu Collection". The book mainly records the history of our area, and the reserve price is three hundred spirit crystals." Nan Huangshang held up the book in his hand.

The book is only the size of a human palm, with a simple appearance and ancient patterns on it.

No one asked the price below, the reason is very simple, a broken book has no use for their practitioners, so what's the use of it.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be impatient, we will announce the last auction item," Nan Huangshang nodded.

An ancient mirror appeared in his hand.

The ancient mirror is also the size of an ordinary mirror, with patterns on both sides.

When Ye Wenji took a closer look, he suddenly remembered that this mirror seemed similar to the ancient mirror he got in the small town.I couldn't help looking carefully, but the writing on the ancient mirror in front of me was different from the one I got. The writing on it is not recognizable to people nowadays.

"This ancient mirror was entrusted by a customer, and the starting price is 100 million spirit crystals." As soon as Nanhuang Shang announced the price, the audience was in an uproar.

"The price is too high, it costs 100 million spirit crystals, isn't it just a broken mirror?"Someone was whispering below.

"It's just a broken mirror. I can't detect any magic power, and the price is so high." The people who came here are not fuel-efficient lamps. They have already tested the ancient mirror many times, and found nothing strange.

Many people left the auction house disappointed.

Ye Wenji shook his head, he doesn't have a million spiritual crystals, but if no one buys the ancient mirror, he really wants to get the ancient mirror.

It is a pity that in the end, no one cared about the ancient mirror, and the auction also dispersed.

Ye Wenji felt that he was not interested, and when the auction ended, he called Nanhuangping.

"I want to give you a hundred spirit crystals for the remnants of the artifacts that you auctioned, and I would like to exchange that ancient mirror with a small piece of glazed mother ancestor." Flat front.

"Well, I have to ask the supervisor, I will inform you as soon as there is any news." Nan Huangping turned and left.

Ye Wenji was not in a hurry, anyway, Nanhuangping also knew where he lived.

He and Ruoyue had nothing to do, picked a secluded place and walked towards the back hill of the city.

About ten kilometers away, in the sun of Houping Mountain, among the mountains and green trees, there is a group of ancient buildings in the style of pavilions and courtyards.
a library.

"Royal Library" looked at the big characters in front of the door.

Ye Wenji and Ruoyue walked into the library slowly.

"Excuse me, how can I enter the library to study?" An old man in rags stood at the door.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were clouded with mist.Pointing to the stone bench next to him, the old man motioned for the two to sit down.

"Go to Shenglishi Mountain to get a sacred jade butterfly, and you can go to the first floor to read it. If you go to the Qidong Ancient Bridge, you get a zelkova branch, and you can go to the second floor to read. It's like entering the bell cave, if you get the bell stone **, feel free to read in the library." The old man's voice was very lazy.

"Old man, why doesn't anyone come here to read?" Ye Wenji asked.It's so quiet here, it seems like I haven't been here for a long time.

"Hey, young people nowadays love to play. No one would like to read books in the library when playing adventure games." The old man sighed one after another.

"I think the library was so prosperous in the past, but now I haven't seen a single person for several months. It's really unpredictable." The old man seemed to be talking to the two of them, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Young man, you are from a foreign country, why would you think of studying?" The old man's eyes were blurred, and he kept rubbing his eyes.

"Hehe, I prefer reading." Ye Wenji smiled. He has loved reading since he was a child. Unfortunately, there are not many books at home, but his mother still teaches him a lot every day.

"There are not many young people like you who like to read. Let me show you these pictures." The old man put his finger on an old-fashioned glass ball-like sphere in front of him.

Inside a piece of crystal-clear jade, there is a butterfly like a dead leaf clearly visible.

"How can there be such a magical jade butterfly in the world?" Ye Wenji muttered to himself while staring at the jade.

"Young man, you and I are destined. This holy ancient jade butterfly is a rare thing in the world to ward off evil spirits"... "It is said that in ancient times, there was a Princess Phoenix Butterfly. , became an ancient god emperor, and later because of her lover's betrayal, foreign tribes invaded. In order to save the tribe, the princess had no choice but to arouse the imprint of life, and turned into a withered butterfly to deposit in the world." The old man told an unknown story. Daolai, the tone is full of vicissitudes of life.

"Old man, why are you looking for Sheng Gu Yudie?" Ruoyue asked from the side.

"Saint Gu Yudie is the first key to enter the library," the old man said.

"Then, how did those scholars study here?" Ye Wenji also asked.

"The library is divided into inner and outer floors, and those readers are all in the outer courtyard"

"But why doesn't the old man let us read books outside?" Ruoyue's bright eyes were thoughtful.

"Hehe, fate is here." The old man's muddy eyes smiled, he stayed here for too long, and the holy jade ancient butterfly will be born again.

"Old man, has no one been able to get the holy jade ancient butterfly to enter the inner courtyard before?" Ye Wenji frowned, and he had an intuition that there seemed to be a secret in this matter.

"No one, thousands of years, no one can bring the holy jade ancient butterfly here." The eyes of the old man were covered with fog like water vapor again.

"What, you have been here for thousands of years," Ye Wenji was surprised.

"Hehe, if your cultivation base reaches the 33rd heaven, you will be able to enter the heavenly realm." The old man's tone was calm, without any waves.

"Old man, can you tell me what's going on?" Ye Wenji has always had too many doubts about his own cultivation path. He has always wanted to know how his cultivation method is structured.

"Hehe, if you want to know, you can worship me as your teacher first," the old man said lazily.

Ye Wenji was struck by this old man several times in a row.

"Why, if you don't want to, forget it." The old man didn't even roll his eyelids.

"No, I was frightened by your words," Ye Wenji said honestly.

How can a person live for thousands of years, this is no different from an old monster.

"There are still many things you don't know. What you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist, understand?" The old man still didn't raise his eyes lazily.

"Yes, master please, and receive a gift from my disciple." Ye Wenji knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Haha, okay, I didn't expect the old man Duyin to have a disciple." The old man laughed loudly, his voice was very loud, and he lost his old look just now.
