Xianlu

Chapter 443 Gifts
"Visiting late at night, I hope fellow Taoists don't take offense."

The voices outside the door were not the innkeeper, the waiter, or the old man Xu Dao was familiar with.

Xu Dao snorted coldly, but didn't reply. He flicked his sleeves, causing the door to open, revealing a figure standing outside the door.

"Huh." After seeing the other party's appearance, Xu Dao was surprised, his eyes narrowed slightly, not sure why the other party came late at night.

Because the person outside the door is Le Lao who presided over the auction!
The man was wearing a navy blue cotton robe, with a restrained breath, he looked like an old servant of an ordinary person, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, Xu Dao raised his eyes and looked over, but he couldn't see any aura in the other party's body.

But this does not prove that the other party is a mortal, on the contrary, it proves that this person's cultivation is not something that Xu Dao can easily see through, and his morals must be higher than Xu Dao's, and the difference will not be just a few decades.

Xu Dao's heart trembled, but the coldness on his face still remained, and he asked with a sneer, "I don't know why Mr. Le came here late at night, did he want to get back the two treasures from the auction? "

When he left the auction, he was already paying attention to whether there was anyone following him behind him, and he thought to himself that this was on the Baili Fucha, in the waterway and sea market, and the safety should be guaranteed.

But he didn't expect that not long after returning to the inn, the other party would come to the door, which really made Xu Dao a little wary.

Hearing the cold question, Le Lao had a smile on his face, and he didn't feel annoyed by it. He bowed and bowed to Xu Dao, and didn't step into the room: "Guest officer misunderstood, old man The purpose of coming here is not to do such dirty things, but to specially present a small gift to the guest officer to make a good relationship."

Le Lao also pointed to the inn where the two were staying, and said: "Guests, don't be nervous. This place is in the sea market, and ordinary people dare not make mistakes. The reason why this old man can come here is to find the guest officer's place to stay." The reason is that the inns and hotels in the city are all run by Haishi's own family."

Hearing these words, Xu Dao restrained the coldness on his face, responded softly on his face, then still looked at the other party with squinted eyes, and took the initiative to take over the conversation.

Le Lao saw that Xu Dao's attitude was still indifferent, and he still didn't think he was disobedient. He took out something from his sleeve, which was wrapped in red silk, and held it respectfully in his hand: "The lord ordered this old man to prepare something special. I hope the guest officer will accept the small gift."

Xu Dao suspected that the other party might have the possibility of showing respect first before fighting, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't want to appear petty and frightened, so he spread his consciousness and landed on the object in the other party's hand to test the safety of the thing.

Immediately, Xu Dao frowned slightly, and said, "Jade slips?"

Le Lao still replied respectfully: "What the guest officer said is correct, this object is an old thing of Xuanzhen Sect hundreds of years ago, and there are Xuanzhen Sect spells engraved inside. Compared with the classics in that box, this jade slip It can be more convenient for fellow Taoists to comprehend, and can test the authenticity of the spells in the box."

This answer made Xu Dao's eyes light up slightly.

The Jade Slip is a superior carrier for inheriting exercises, allowing Taoist thoughts to enter directly into it, feel the subtleties of spells, and allow people to understand the principles of spells, and get twice the result with half the effort.

Originally, the magic inheritance of the immortal way mostly relied on this kind of jade slips to pass on. Unfortunately, as the aura of the world became thinner, the spiritual materials used to prepare the jade slips became expensive and scarce. Jade slips will be used.

In the year Xu Dao lived in, jade slips were even rarer, and even Erhai Taoist palaces generally used cloth and other carriers.It's just that the cloth used is mostly precious materials, not ordinary cloth or paper, and it is required to be invulnerable to water and fire and preserved for thousands of years.

Seeing that Xu Dao's face softened, Old Le continued to explain: "If the guest officer accepts this small gift from the old man, combined with the box that the guest officer has already obtained from the auction, the Taoist lineage of the Xuanzhen sect, the guest officer can get [-]% of it." .”

Hearing this, Xu Dao's heart was even more moved.

At the auction, when this person introduced the inheritance of the Xuanzhen Sect, he said that the integrity of the inheritance was more than [-]%. , probably only seventy percent, not eighty percent or even ninety percent.

Now the Taoist priest who presided over the auction personally came to the door and sent an antique that was hundreds of years old, and it could also supplement the goods that Xu Dao had auctioned, which immediately surprised Xu Dao.

Seeing that the other party had a good attitude, and he really didn't look like he was looking for revenge and trouble, Xu Dao simply put away his coldness and said with a smile: "It seems that the auction also has after-sales services, and Mr. Le came here on purpose. Deal with after-sales?"

Le Lao shook his head and repeated: "No, I didn't come here for after-sales, but for a good relationship."

This person glanced at Xu Dao's sleeve, and said in his mouth: "The Taoist priest is extraordinary, full of mana, and today he bought another high-quality evil spirit, and he must be about to achieve the success of the evil spirit, and take another big step on the road. Such a powerful If you are a character, you should make friends with him."

Hearing the other party talk about Ningsha, Xu Dao frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed.The hellish aura in his hand was auctioned from the other party, so he naturally knew about it.

Moreover, the old man surnamed Le kept his secrets, most likely from the aura on his body, he could see that someone Xu's immortal cultivation had reached a hundred years, and he was about to freeze.

Xu Dao thought to himself: "I don't know if this person recognizes my martial arts cultivation?" He looked at the other party's expression, pondered a few times, and guessed that the other party had not yet reached such a powerful level.

After all, his breath-holding spell and cuttlefish sword are unusual, as long as it is not a moment of fighting skills, it will be difficult for people below Jindan to see it.

"Haha." Xu Dao smiled casually, walked out from the table, walked quickly to the door, invited Mr. Le, and said, "Your guest is coming, but Pindao didn't invite him to come in for a cup of tea. It's really rude."

"Old Le, please come in quickly."

But Le Lao lowered his head, bowed slightly, thanked Xu Dao for his invitation, and said: "I am just a person who came to give gifts, how can I afford the word 'honored guest', please ask the Taoist priest to accept this gift , don't refuse, just now is the courtesy to the old man, otherwise the old man will not be able to report to the Lord when he goes back."

When Xu Dao heard the word 'Master' being mentioned again in the other party's mouth, he was surprised: "Who is this person's master? Could it be the master of the sea market? Otherwise, how could he serve such an advanced Taoist as a servant?" ..."

He hesitated a few times in his heart, did not accept the jade slip immediately, but cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "I would like to ask Mr. Le to clarify, how can a poor man be favored by your lord?"

"The guest officer is ridiculous." The old man surnamed Le held the jade slip in one hand, and stroked his gray beard with the other hand, and said: "Not to mention the pure magic power of the guest officer, at first glance, he looks like a high-ranking immortal. Extraordinary people, besides, the guest officer has acquired the evil spirit of the underworld today, and it will be even more important when the evil spirit is condensed."

Le Lao weighed the jade slip in his hand and said: "If the Taoist priest can still gain something from the inheritance of the Xuanzhen Sect, he will become a rare and precious master in the entire West Sea."

Xu Dao understood.

It turned out that in Xihai, where heresy is rampant and the immortal way is in decline, he is a yin god who has a solid foundation and seeks the best evil spirit. He looks like a firefly in the night, which is extremely attractive to discerning people.

And because of the decline of the immortal way in the West Sea, only those who are in the immortal way are good at alchemy, drawing talismans, arranging arrays, refining weapons, etc., and only those with solid foundations will think of auctioning the orthodoxy of the Xuanzhen sect.This is also the most important reason why Xu Dao was able to pick up leaks at the auction and easily obtain the Taoism of the Xuanzhen Sect.

Le Lao and the master behind him combined the above two situations to confirm that Xu Dao's foundation is solid, his aptitude is good, and he is worthy of a relationship.

Knowing this, Xu Dao didn't have much pride in his heart. Instead, he was quite grateful: "Fortunately, after I sold the Shark Girl, I left Haishi in time, and only participated in the auction after changing my appearance."

"Otherwise, if the other party finds out that I caught the shark girl, they may reveal more things, such as my martial arts cultivation... In this way, I am afraid that what they get will not be just a good relationship, but a malicious covet. gone."

Although he was vigilant in his heart, Xu Dao naturally wouldn't show the slightest bit. Instead, he put on a look of being found out, reserved and proud, and continued to talk with the other party openly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Dao invited the other party to come in as a guest but was declined, so he asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Le Lao's master, who is it?"

Old Le stroked his beard and said: "It seems that guest officials are really not regular customers in Haishi. Fortunately, this is the case. Only then did the old man have the opportunity to find such talents as guest officials for the master."

He said: "If the guest officer is interested, come to the 'Qianlong Pavilion' in the city to see him, and then he will understand."

Le Lao also looked around the inn where Xu Dao lived, and explained: "If the guest officer is going to break through, he has to find a tight and spiritual cave. A place like an inn is fine for a temporary shelter, but if you live there for a long time , but it is not appropriate."

What this person said made sense, Xu Dao lived here, so he was easily found by the other party.If Xu Dao chooses to retreat and break through in the inn, once someone else finds him, no matter whether the other party is good or bad, it will greatly affect his practice.

Originally, Xu Dao also planned to rent a long-term residence in the sea city after the recent hustle and bustle, and carefully arrange it as a breakthrough.

Hearing what the other party said now, he thought for a moment in his heart, and asked for advice calmly: "What Le Lao said is right, so dare to ask Le Lao, is there any recommended place that can allow Pindao to devote himself to practicing in the sea market?"

The eyes of the old man surnamed Le brightened slightly, and he said with a smile: "It seems that the guest officer is planning to live in the city permanently. Of course, of course! The guest officer will come to Qianlong Pavilion when the time comes, and you will know!"

After finishing speaking, the person bowed to Xu Dao, then stepped back in small steps, and retreated respectfully to the corridor like a servant before turning around and leaving.

When the old man surnamed Le turned around, Xu Dao saw a pinch of the magic formula in the opponent's hand, and took a spell.

It's not such a mysterious spell, it's just a sound insulation spell, which is arranged around when the person knocks on the door, which can prevent the conversation between the two from leaking out.

Xu Dao watched the other party leave completely, still feeling a little surprised in his heart.

He lowered his head, glanced at the things stuffed into his left hand, shook his head, quickly closed the door, retreated into the room, raised the formation to prevent prying eyes, sat down in peace of mind, and looked at the items he got.

Xu Dao unwrapped the well-wrapped cloth, and a black jade-like letter appeared in his eyes.

There were two lights in his eyes, he thought about it, and checked it for a while, and used the charm and powder for drug testing. After confirming that there was no problem, he stretched out his hand and spread the black jade slip.

The jade slips are about the same size as ordinary bamboo slips, one by one, but not many, only a dozen or so slips.

Seeing these ten slips, Xu Dao didn't think it was too few, but felt that there were many. He was looking forward to it, and counted: "There are actually eighteen pieces of jade slips, it seems that they are really unusual objects."

Jade slips are precious and durable. Ordinary magic spells and classics can often be recorded in a whole book in one finger-sized piece. Only profound and numerous classics are worth bundling up and using in multiple pieces.

Xu Dao looked at it and counted, then he rolled up more than a dozen pieces of jade slips, and then pressed them lightly on his forehead, carefully inserting his consciousness into it.

Comprehend the classics of exercises in the jade slips, the closer the jade slips are to the Taoist altar, the more effective they will be.

While being cautious, Xu Dao still didn't notice anything wrong with the jade slips, but his spiritual sense sensed a kind of quaint aura. He simply stopped being careful, and used his divine sense to use all the things in the jade slips. dig out.

Buzz!

It's similar to how he used the Huangtian Zhenlu to practice the exercises. There are streaks and paths drilled out of the jade slips, and they appear in his mind, shining brightly, with a total of one hundred and eight paths.

"what!"

Xu Dao let out a small cry of surprise, he was surprised to find that what was recorded in the jade slip was not any specific spell, but only these one hundred and eight patterns.

It's just that these one hundred and eight lines are not ordinary lines, they are one hundred and eight mysterious runes.

It is like the 36 characters in the Huangquan Jiaolong visualization picture condensed by Xu Dao, each of which is the essence, and it can only be extracted by practicing many spells.If you learn to plant it in your brain, you can produce a special spell suitable for Taoists with a little change.

Moreover, any one of the [-] runes handed down in the jade slips is more mysterious, profound, grand and exquisite than what Xu Dao condensed by himself, the gap is like pearls and rice grains.

Xu Dao couldn't help feeling ashamed of himself.

He observed the one hundred and eight patterns in his mind, and absorbed the ideas in the jade slips, and suddenly understood:
"These are one hundred and eight formation patterns, which are summed up from the thousands of spells and formations of the Xuanzhen Sect."

"It is divided into 36 transformations of Tiangang and 72 transformations of earth evil. The true disciples of the Xuanzheng sect learn the one hundred and eight formation patterns, and can use them to lay out thousands of formations, which are ever-changing. It is the foundation of the formations of the Xuanzheng sect. .”

Xu Dao felt the information in the jade slips, and his mood suddenly became agitated.
