Chapter 354: The Sword-Suppressing Envoy
“The City Lord’s Mansion?”
Liang Yan frowned slightly and asked with some uncertainty: “Could it be that the City Lord of Zhiyuan City has one at home? Four Seasons Split Flame Monkey?"
Bao Hongxin laughed and said: "Exactly! The Four-Season Flame Monkey has a fighting power in the later stages of foundation building, and cannot be underestimated at all. However, this one has been raised by the city lord since he was a child, and he has long been recognized as his master. Now he can be regarded as a major force of the Ximen City Lord. ”
“That’s it!”
Liang Yan nodded, took out another twenty spirit stones from his sleeve, and handed them to Bao Hongxin.
When he was a child, he and Liang Xuan traveled all over the country. Naturally, he knew that news was also a commodity and it also required a price. Although the middle-aged man in front of him is very friendly, the businessman's goal is profit. If he doesn't pay some spiritual stones, he is afraid that the other party's information will be inaccurate.
Bao Hongxin casually glanced at the spirit stone in his hand, put it into his sleeve, and then smiled slightly and said: "You are so polite, fellow Taoist. In fact, this is not confidential information. If you are interested, I will tell you about it." You can also find out by asking around."
Of course Liang Yan wouldn't tell this. He took his words seriously, but asked with a smile: "Since Shopkeeper Bao knows about the Four Seasons Split Flame Monkey in the city lord's house, can you give Liang some guidance?"
After hearing this, Bao Hongxin pondered for a moment. Said: "Actually, your request is not difficult to achieve. There is an excellent opportunity right in front of you."
"Oh?" Liang Yan's heart moved: "I would like to hear the details!"
Bao Hongxin nodded and said: "The lord of Zhiyuan City, Ximen Hao, is a genuine swordsman. He Ten years ago, he asked the master of weapon refining Baili Xuan to refine a high-quality flying sword for him, and now the flying sword is about to be finished. Li Xuan was worried that the sword might have some spiritual power, and that the sword would escape when it was completed, so he kept suppressing the furnace lid and refused to release it. "
"There is such a thing!"
This was the first time Liang Yan heard that someone could produce a trace of spirituality when refining a flying sword! He couldn't help but have a daydream in his heart, but after a moment, he asked again: "What does this matter have to do with me?"
Bao Hongxin smiled lightly and said: "Fellow Taoist Liang, don't be anxious, just listen to me. Let’s finish. Our Ximen City Lord is also a man who is good at swordsmanship. He has good swordsmanship skills, but he has always suffered from not having one. The Flying Sword is so powerful that it has never been condensed into a sword embryo. Therefore, the Lord of Ximen City was very concerned about the release of the Flying Sword. Not long ago, he followed Baili Xuan's suggestion and publicly summoned seven foundation-building monks throughout the city. To be the Sword Suppressor for this flying sword, we also summoned a hundred high-level Qi Refining monks to be the Qi Suppressor for this time.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan frowned slightly and said, "What do the Sword Suppressor and the Qi Suppressor mean?"
Bao Hongxin didn't show off and replied directly: "This is what Baili Xuan refined." The Kou Fei Sword is called the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword. When it is released, it will escape to high altitude. At that time, the Lord of Ximen City will set up the Nine Suns Trapping Dragon Formation. This formation requires eight people. The swordsmen of the famous town guard the eight directions of east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest. There is also one person who needs to be in the middle to coordinate. This person is naturally Ximen Hao himself. "
"The Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword is extremely sharp when it comes out of the furnace. No matter which direction it escapes, its power is as powerful as that of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building." A powerful blow, so the task of the eight Sword-Suppressing Envoys is to try their best to resist the blow of this sword and intercept the fleeing 'Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword'. ""Once the city lord chooses it as the Suppressing Sword. So, as long as Ximen Hao successfully collects the flying sword in the end, the monkey hair required to refine the 'Red Flame Pen' is not much, so this must be a requirement for the city lord. I will still agree."
"That's it." This time Liang Yan listened to Bao Hongxin finish his words before nodding: "This is indeed a feasible way. , but I am only at the early stage of foundation building, why do you think I am qualified for this task?”
Bao Hongxin smiled slightly again and said: "Bao only provides information. As for success or failure, it is not something Bao can control. Besides, the sword-suppressing user does not have to be in the middle stage of foundation building. Whether it is used once The best defensive weapon is still a talisman, as long as it can resist the monks in the middle stage of foundation building Just hit it with all your strength."
When Bao Hongxin said this, Liang Yan immediately understood. He was a little confused just now. How could this happen to this dignified shop owner who was also in the early stage of foundation building. Did you come here specifically to reveal this information to him just for the twenty spirit stones?
Obviously not!
Bao Hongxin had a smile on his face at this time, turned around and pointed at the monks gathered at the purple talisman counter and said: "For example, these Qi Refining monks are also competing for the quota of one hundred Qi Suppressants. . Although they do not need to directly resist the power of the flying sword, they will be attacked by the purple thunder energy, so they come to my store to buy this one-time lightning protection talisman. If Liang Daoyou sincerely wants to compete with these seven sword masters. There is another kind available in our store With the defensive talisman used three times, although it cannot be said that it can completely resist the attack of the flying sword, it can at least reduce a lot of pressure for fellow Taoists. As for the price"
"What an 'urgent need'! "Liang Yan secretly praised in his heart: "There is no demand, but we must create demand. I never thought about buying a finished talisman before entering the store, but now even I feel that I need a defensive talisman."
He knew in his heart that shopkeeper Bao was a businessman after all, so there was nothing wrong with his move. And if this matter is done to ordinary monks in the early stages of foundation building, it is indeed a win-win situation. Shopkeeper Bao can not only sell expensive talismans, but the other party can also get the monkey hair of the Four Seasons Fiery Monkey as he wishes.
But Liang Yan asked himself that he was not an ordinary monk in the early stage of foundation building. With his current strength, he was more than enough to deal with a full blow in the middle stage of foundation building. Therefore, Boss Bao’s little calculation was destined to be nothing more than It may be that the attempt to draw water from a bamboo basket has been in vain.
Liang Yan politely waited for him to finish speaking, then he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, shopkeeper Bao, for telling the truth. It's just that Liang doesn't want to buy the talisman yet. If he wants to buy it in the future, he will definitely Priority will be given to 'Mo Xuan Zhai'."
Bao Hongxin's expression did not change at all after hearing this. He also touched it in the mall. As an old shopkeeper who has been working hard for many years, he naturally knows that in business, you can only do your best and you will never succeed. He smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Liang, you are welcome. We at Moxuanzhai welcome Mr. Liang to visit us at any time."
Liang Yan nodded, said goodbye to Bao Hongxin, and took Ah-Dai out of the gate of Mo Xuanzhai.
It was almost dusk, and the setting sun shone on the gravel path the two were walking on, casting two long oblique shadows.
“Are we going to the ‘City Lord’s Mansion’ in Zhiyuan City now?” Ah-Dai asked, following him.
Liang Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Go to Baili Mansion first."
