Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 299 Fakes of fakes, divination is really easy to use (6k)

August [-]th is a good day, the moon will be very round tonight, big and round.

Yu Ziqing also speculated that the bright moon is at its brightest when it is Haishi.

Aside from the days when Emperor Flowing Ore appears, this day is when Haoyue's power is at its strongest.

And today is the day when the Qiguang Company Auction will be held.

Very early on, Yu Ziqing also wondered what an auction in this world would look like, but unfortunately he never had the chance to go.

Later, I learned that many top-notch resources, resources with a high degree of scarcity, will not be reduced to the auction at all.

Just like the five-color soil he wanted, even Lihuoyuan and Langyayuan couldn't get it together, and Lihuoyuan only gave some white soil that was not enough to grow a flower.

That's why Yu Ziqing took a lot of black soil in exchange.

Moreover, Wen Lingyou didn't particularly want to change, even though black soil and white soil were basically the same, and black soil was even rarer in the past.

But these days, white clay is even rarer.

Yu Ziqing's curiosity about the auction was not satisfied, so he gave up.

This time to join in the fun, it doesn't matter if you don't have an invitation. The Qiguang Company will not be so indifferent as to offend the Hungry Ghost Company in Busi Town and the big boss behind the scenes who monopolizes several resources such as Ganlin.

After Yu Ziqing arrived, he didn't even declare his family name. Someone at Qiguang Company recognized him and immediately arranged a place for him.

They served delicious food and drink, and didn't even ask from the beginning to the end, whether Yu Ziqing would like to join hands and auction something.

The auction items were compiled into a book and handed over to Yu Ziqing. He also honestly said that except for the most critical items, they did not dare to sell them in advance, and if they liked the rest, they could sell them in advance.

Of course, this was confirmed by the seller, not by Qiguang Company.

Look at their business, and let the profiteers and hungry ghosts come to learn from them later. Their service awareness is better than the profiteers and hungry ghosts in details.

Yu Ziqing was sitting in a class-divided private room, condescending, peeping at the bustling crowd below, and he could also see a circle of semi-open private rooms around, and people had already entered one after another.

Some who don't mind hiding their identities can see it, and some who don't mind can't see the inside from the outside.

Yu Ziqing drank tea and ate snacks, inexplicably feeling that he was a bit of a street lamp pendant.

This artificial division of classes is really interesting.

Not long after, Yu Ziqing saw an acquaintance, the current head of Baishuidan, New No. [-].

He didn't know where to put on a painted skin, and he also hid his aura, but unfortunately he was too familiar, Yu Ziqing took a second look and confirmed it was him.

After a while, the fish bone also came, one after the other, and a guy with hair, which should be the jellyfish that the fish bone mentioned.

That kind of aura that comes from the deep sea and comes from the black ship saints can't be completely hidden no matter how you hide it.

Unfamiliarity with the land and the excessive caution unique to the era are really too strong.

Not long after, people came to the van one after another, most of them with first names, and very few of them were strangers.

Yu Ziqing noticed that someone was looking at him, and turned his head slightly to look, only to see a man in a long robe looking over from a box opposite.

His face is very ordinary, his breath is obscure, and there is faint pressure coming from him, so his strength should be very strong.

Yu Ziqing smiled and cupped his hands.

The other party looked at Yu Ziqing, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, and a strange look in his eyes, and then he arched his hands to show his friendliness.

Although he had heard about it a long time ago and had a lot of information, this was the first time he had seen Jinlanshan Qing Ziyu.

It was stronger than expected, and what can be noticed at a glance is that Qing Ziyu's breath is clear, the blood is thick, and it should be in the seventh-order unsullied state.

However, it was rumored that Qing Ziyu practiced the way of hungry ghosts with a human body, and also had Jinlanshan's unique method of borrowing strength, so he should not be regarded as an ordinary monk.

Looking at Yu Ziqing's casual look, the man in robes should be watching the excitement, not for his goal.

Although he didn't really care about the 64-sided crystal.

All he cared about was not letting the 64-sided crystal fall into the hands of the cliff god king.

As for whose hands it fell into, he didn't really care.

He is now at a critical stage, and he can't spare any energy to study the 64-hedron crystal, which is not simple at first sight.

No matter how good this treasure is.

Because he already has a well-established path to go, good interference and bad interference are all disadvantages.

On the contrary, he is now very interested in Qing Ziyu from Jinlan Mountain, and he wants to confirm the exact time of Da Dui's return, even if it can be accurate.

Yu Ziqing looked around, but apart from the strong man in the robe, he didn't see anyone worth noting.

The auction was more boring than Yu Ziqing thought, especially the first half.

Produce an item, from treasures to materials, to classics, there is no beauty from other races that Yu Ziqing can imagine.

The bids are also very sensible, if the price exceeds the estimated price too much, they will give up.

In the second half, when some rare materials began to appear, it became a little more enthusiastic.

It is true that some people are in urgent need of a rare material that cannot be obtained elsewhere, or cannot be obtained so quickly.

Yu Ziqing also made a few random bids. If he felt that it was too expensive, or if the bidder obviously needed it urgently, he would give up without forcing it.

In the end, I only bought one ancient book, which was from the ancient times, and it happened to be a certain book lost by Dadui.

The Qiguang Company said that there are three secret methods in it, but in fact this is just a travelogue, telling the author's process of creating these three secret methods during his travels, and none of them are powerful Taoist protection methods.

Everyone didn't have much interest in it. Yu Ziqing made three offers, but no one snatched it from him.

Soon, the 64-sided crystal was taken out, and it wasn't even considered a treasure to press the big axis.

Yu Ziqing drank his tea and wanted to laugh a little, the owner of Qiguang Company is a wonderful person.

We would rather bear the reputation of eye-catching, but also give this treasure a wrong valuation, showing that we don't know what this thing is at all, and only think it has research value, so we took it out and sold it.

Even when it was introduced, it was clearly stated that those ascetics would probably like this thing.

The implication is that apart from research value, this ghost thing has no power whatsoever.

Sure enough, it was embarrassing. After this introduction, everyone felt that the price was too expensive.

Yu Ziqing kindly offered the first price, and it was the starting price.

He knew quite a few heads of the hospital, and he could afford it, so it didn't matter if he gave it away.

With the first bid, the rest of the people began to follow suit.

The new No. [-], who was wearing a painted skin and cross-dressing, called for prices, and the jellyfish with a face-changing face also called for prices, and Yubone kept watching with cold eyes.

They competed for a while, and when the rate of increase slowed down, they also increased the price of the strong man in the robe in the van.

At this time, another person in the box also offered a price.

Yu Ziqing was a little curious, and reasoned, Qiguang Company gave a low estimate. Although there were deliberate elements, this price was already very high for a thing that had only research value and did not know how valuable it was. .

Yu Ziqing saw the people from Lihuoyuan, but the other party didn't bid.

Of course, it may also be that the funds for the recent Lihuoyuan are indeed a little tight.

Yu Ziqing took note of the other party's identity and appearance. He came from a new force in the western part of Dali. He also had business cooperation with Busch Town. He was one of the big distributors downstream of profiteers and hungry ghosts.

At that time, Prince Dali was in the west for disaster relief and developed the west. In addition, the cracks in the abyss became stable, and the town of Busi appeared again. A large area of ​​​​the territory here began to be developed, and the population increased year by year. After decades, it is no longer what it used to be. Compare.

The forces rising here are more or less shadows of other big forces. They may not have much background, but they are rich and have a lot of cash, just like nouveau riche.

Bidding this now is a typical nouveau riche.

Because in their territory, a vein of Lingshi was discovered, and it was a rich ore.

The seriously poor have only money left.

What money can buy is not a problem.

Yu Ziqing offered the price twice, then gave up, and turned to watch the excitement.

Not only those who saw the bid, but also those who didn't bid, he was also paying attention, maybe there were people who wanted to prostitute for free.

For example, jellyfish, he gave up after making two bids. Obviously, the wealth of these people on land exceeded his expectations, and it also exceeded what he could find out through public channels outside.

The fish bones have never been bid from beginning to end.

He had a neurotic smile, as if everything here was different from Yu Guili's description, and it seemed to reassure him.

These two saints are [-]% people who want to prostitute for nothing.

There was no big surprise in the auction of the 64-sided crystal. The crystal ball was bought by the nouveau riche at a price six times higher than the starting price.

There are three finale treasures at the back, and Yu Ziqing didn't pay attention to them. The last one is a book, which records the news of a place where green soil is produced.

Yu Ziqing spent a lot of money to bid with people from Lihuoyuan and Langyayuan, and finally got it.

After paying the bill, the upstart who bought the 64-sided crystal has left.

All those who participated in the bidding for the 64-hedron crystal also disappeared.

Someone left a message for Yu Ziqing, and Yu Ziqing opened it to see that it was Xin No. [-], and pointed out the direction to the west.

Yu Ziqing rode a flying boat and wobbled towards Jinlan Mountain. Anyway, no one saw that he was following him.

Flying less than a thousand miles away, I saw a light red divine light shining in front of me, with a trace of tyrannical power rising in that kind of treachery.

The Saints have played against each other.

Yu Ziqing turned the direction of the flying boat, bypassing the battlefield, a ray of light flew from the side, and the man in robes manifested in mid-air.

"Excuse me, I want to ask you something."

"Senior, you are polite. Excuse me." Yu Ziqing stood up and saluted politely.

"I want to know when Dadui will return, a little more specific time."

Yu Ziqing was a little stunned. There were eight thousand people who wanted to know the news.

But he doesn't know.

He hasn't decided yet.

"To be honest, I'm not sure, I can only be sure about it, between 100 years and 400 years, the exact time is still uncertain."

"Thank you." The robed man was a little disappointed, but he still politely returned the gift.

"I don't know what to call senior?" Yu Ziqing asked, seeing that the robed man didn't answer immediately, he immediately added: "If it can be predicted, I might as well inform senior."

The robed man looked at Yu Ziqing's sincere expression, pondered for a moment, and said.

"My name is Qingping."

After leaving this sentence, the robed man turned into a ray of light and flew away.

"Senior, leave a contact information, otherwise how can I notify you..."

Yu Ziqing beckoned, and shouted to Dunguang.

When the light disappeared into the sky, Yu Ziqing sat on the deck again, drinking tea, thinking about the name.

Maybe it's just a first name, not his last name.

It may also only have a first name and no last name at all.

But if you sign up like this, the name must be meaningful.

Yu Ziqing had never heard of anyone named this among the strong men, and even the opponent's body shape and appearance were different from the strong man on the surface.

Go back and ask someone.

On the other side, the battle was still going on, Qingping didn't go to the battle at all, she didn't seem to care much about the 64-hedron, just like Yu Ziqing, she just increased the price casually.

Yu Ziqing watched the excitement from a long distance away, and could see the Saints make a move, and the new No. [-] also made a move. That upstart was much stronger than expected, and could withstand the siege.

Suddenly, Yu Ziqing frowned and looked towards a mountain in the distance.

A strong ritual aura emerged, and he used his eyesight to the extreme. He saw that the top of the mountain had been flattened, and an altar was arranged on it. There was a bald head with tattoos on his forehead and bridge of nose, performing rituals.

Yu Ziqing recognized it, and that was the high priest Yubone mentioned.

There are several bald heads behind him, chanting mantras and performing rituals together.

Faint blood flowed out, forming a glorious pattern that looked like a formation, but was not a formation.

In front of the altar, where the blood light gathered, a crack seemed to be opened, and the edge of the crack was twisted and torn, like a mosaic.

A force full of malice spewed out from the dark crack.

In an instant, the thick blood light gathered and turned into a huge four-fingered claw, rushing towards the battlefield.

On the battlefield, New No. [-] just glanced at it, turned around and left.

He was just going through the motions, and he didn't really come to risk his life.

New No. [-] left, and the jellyfish retreated rapidly.

Only the nouveau riche was left behind and wanted to escape, but unfortunately everything around him seemed to be distorted, and he could only see the blood claw getting closer, and the brilliance of magic weapons emerged from his body.

Layers of superimposed divine light turned it into a huge ball of light.

That bloody sharp claw, hundreds of feet in size, grabbed the ball of light and shattered its protection layer by layer, destroying magic weapons one by one.

Waiting for the last layer of divine light to dissipate, the nouveau riche's face sank like water, he squeezed out a weird seal formula with both hands, and posed in a pose like a rune.

In an instant, pure black appeared on his body. Black and red collided and intertwined with each other, causing bursts of scorched white eyes. Everything around him seemed to be corrupted by pollution.

A moment later, the black color turned into a cage, protecting the upstart inside, and the bloody claws were still exerting force.

Full of evil thoughts, madness, and bloodthirsty thoughts, they are constantly eroding the nouveau riche inside the cage.

The upstart took out the 64-sided crystal, and he quickly turned the 64-sided crystal to look at the 64 sides.

In an instant, he got a message.

"When you stand on the ground, there is no good in the dragon's place."

He doesn't understand.

Every word can magically understand its meaning, but when it is put together into one sentence, he can't understand it at all.

But he understood the meaning of the first two words, which seemed to refer to his hesitation now. Was this an instruction to him not to hesitate?

With a second thought, the nouveau riche made a decision and shouted in a low voice.

"Take the thing and let me go, otherwise, if the fish dies, the net will be broken, and I will take it into the deepest darkness with me. No one can get it."

The pure black around it slowly eroded towards the crystal in the palm of the nouveau riche.

At this time, the blood claw, which was still exerting strength and eroding with thoughts, trembled slightly, and slowly loosened the black cage.

After the opponent backed away for a certain distance, the upstart dispersed the cage, wrapped the 64-sided crystal in his hand with a flying sword, urged it in the opposite direction, and flew away as a ray of light.

He himself turned into a black light and fled towards the west.

The jellyfish turned into a streak of light and chased it out.

At this point, Yu Ziqing drove away in the flying boat, and there was nothing to see behind.

After a while, the jellyfish flew back and gave the crystal to the high priest.

The high priest just glanced at it, and crushed the crystal in his hand with a sullen face. There was not a single rune in the crystal, and he was tricked.

It's too late to chase now.

The high priest didn't rush to do anything. He stood in front of the altar, whispered quietly, and then cut off one of his own legs as a sacrifice.

Following the recitation of the low and strange incantation, a moment later, a ray of blood flew out, and disappeared instantly.

"Let's go."

The high priest left quietly with the people, but the fish bones and jellyfish did not follow and continued to do their unfinished tasks.

Yu Ziqing flew halfway, Yugu quietly chased after him, and told what happened just now.

"Uh, fake? Your high priest has been tricked?"

Yu Ziqing was stunned, the other party was able to make a fake so quickly?

No, the other party already knew the size, shape, and color of the target before seeing the 64-sided crystal, and these details were never disclosed by Qiguang Company.

Even if there is only one shape without runes in it, it is not something that can be made as it is heard.

So that upstart, probably knows what a 64-sided crystal is.

Thinking of the way that guy turned the crystal at the end, Yu Ziqing suddenly realized, did he know that after watching 64 episodes, there might be something like divination?
What did he see?

Can he really understand those garbled characters?

Yu Ziqing was startled, did those garbled characters really work?
Does the juice bless the enchantment with real power?

No way, he told Juice that this is a fake, it is used to fool people.

"It's okay, I know where he is from, I will ask someone later and give you information, but you guys had better keep a low profile recently.

That high priest of yours, the rituals and breaths performed are really too evil.

Maybe there will be some righteous people who will kill you all if they don't like you.

Don't think I'm joking, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons on land, there are people who are willing to meddle in their own business, and there are more people who are extremely displeased with evil ways.

You don't participate, or you may die. "

"Follow Your Excellency's guidance." With a pious face, Yubone took Yu Ziqing's words as a golden rule, and ran away quietly.

Yu Ziqing turned around and returned to the battlefield just now.

He was only interested in the last power of that upstart, and now he is also interested in this person.

He looked up at the sky, it was midnight soon, and the bright moon was dazzling.

Yu Ziqing sat on the flying boat and used the moonlight magic power.

tune monitoring.

In an instant, Yu Ziqing realized that the power of the supernatural power this time was obviously much stronger than before.

He can closely observe every detail of the battle.

The ritual performed by the saint, and the last power of the upstart.

However, at the next moment, Yu Ziqing's eyes froze slightly.

In the backtracking of the moonlight supernatural power, he saw the upstart turned into a human-shaped black shadow.

It's like the black shadow I saw when I looked back in front of the Dadeui archway.

It feels exactly the same, even if it is not the same person, it still holds the power of the same root.

The reason why it is determined that it is not a person is because this time in the moonlight retrospective, there are already a little more details in the shadow.

He could see thousands of non-reflective pure black worms wriggling in the blackness.

This person should not be as strong as the person I met last time.

It is also possible that this person directly mobilized the power this time, and did not perform simple rituals.

Yu Ziqing went back an hour in detail, peeking at the ritual performed by the high priest, and peeking at the power of the upstart.

After the time passed, Yu Ziqing cupped his hands at Haoyue before he dispersed the moonlight, expressing his gratitude to the moon god.

Bathed in the moonlight, Yu Ziqing flew towards the west of Dali.

He threw out the fake 64-hedron crystal, but unexpectedly caught a windfall.

He had been looking for that black shadow for a long time, trying to figure out what the other party was trying to do.

Unexpectedly, this caught the tail.

Now that you know who the other party is and where the power is, you can directly bring someone to the door to ask about it another day.

The next day, the nouveau riche returned to the west of Dali, where his family lived.

As soon as he arrived home, he found that the house was dead. He moved a chair by himself, with his back facing the gate, and sat in the yard.

There were corpses kneeling around them, their bodies were stiff, their mouths were wide open, their faces were full of horror, and there was a wick in their mouths, burning with a faint blue flame.

The nouveau riche's body was stiff, and he walked in slowly, his lips trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"You exposed it rashly, and committed a big taboo. Keep things, give you a chance, kill yourself, and give your family a good time."

The upstart took out the 64-sided crystal, looked at the corpses with flames in their mouths, and closed his eyes in despair.

If he can kill himself, he can die quickly. If he is turned into a human candle, he will have no choice but to live or die.

He twirled the crystal, hoping for another hint.

The last time he used a fake crystal that could no longer be fake, he successfully fooled those bald heads.

This time he turned the crystal, and the people sitting there didn't stop him, they just waited quietly.

He quickly read 64 pages, and got another sentence.

"Death, it started from Weilan."
