"Why... can't I buy it?"
Sha Yiyi was confused.
"The Vajra Pestle originally belonged to my Wuyan Temple. I can just go and get it. There is no need to buy it." Master Wumu explained very seriously.
"You mean... steal?"
Sha Yiyi widened her eyes.
"No, no, taking it doesn't count as stealing."
"Did the master tell the people at the auction?"
Sha Keke on the side asked.
"In order to avoid involving too many people in this storm, I decided not to let irrelevant people know about this as much as possible." Master Wumu said calmly, "So, I didn't tell anyone, and didn't make a fuss."
"... ..."
Hearing this, Luo Xue immediately felt numb.
Why is this bald donkey who is not bald talking so much and looking so righteous
To put it bluntly, they just sneaked in and took it away secretly, which can also be considered stealing!
"How about I return it to you..."
Luo Xue immediately wanted to throw the Evil Ghost Pestle back to the Eyeless Mage, but the Eyeless Mage was ten feet away in an instant.
"Miss Luo Xue, goodbye. We'll meet again if we're lucky."
The Mage Wumu bowed, then paused and added,
"By the way, the Vajra Pestle contains the pupil technique 'Mysterious Dark Pupil' of Shangguan Yu, the head of the Demonic Ghost Clan. Perhaps you can use it."
As soon as the words came out, the gray-clothed figure disappeared.
Luo Xue stopped holding the evil spirit pestle for a long time, then she sighed and put it away.
"This is the first time I've seen someone rush to deliver something to someone's door..."
Luo Xue looked helpless.
"This is what Master Wumu is like," Sha Yiyi came closer to look at the evil ghost pestle in Luo Xue's hand, "He is a freak in Wuyan Temple. The other disciples of Wuyan Temple are all indifferent, but he likes to meddle in everything."
"Oh?" Luo Xue knew there was gossip again when she heard it, "Tell me more."
"How should I put it... Wuyan Temple, you can tell from listening that they don't like to talk. Although most of the disciples of Wuyan Temple are good at divination, no matter what the results are, they are unwilling to reveal them, and will not try to interfere with fate.
"Most of the time, the disciples of Wuyan Temple are just bystanders. They will only take action in one situation, that is, when they are involved in 'divination' and 'fate'.
"But Master Wumu is different. He is completely different from other disciples of Wuyan Temple. He is happy to tell others about his divinations and actively helps others change their fates. It is said that this is the Tao of Master Wumu.
"Because he is at odds with Wuyan Temple, Master Wumu has been a lay disciple of Wuyan Temple until now. He is not qualified to call himself a 'monk', nor will he call others 'donors'."
"... I was wondering, no wonder they are somewhat different from the Buddhist disciples I had in mind."
Luo Xue scratched the back of his head and looked at the Evil Ghost Pestle in his hand, still feeling a little troubled.
On the one hand, the last words of the Eyeless Master really touched her.
After upgrading her qualifications for supernatural powers, Luo Xue has acquired a new talent, "double pupils", which doubles the speed of practicing pupil-type supernatural powers and also enhances the effects. She is indeed lacking a powerful pupil-type supernatural power.
The evil ghost pestle that was delivered to her door now contained a powerful pupil technique. I just don't know why the eyeless wizard didn't mind her practicing magic skills...
Unfortunately, it's stolen property.
"Forget it, let's keep it for now." Luo Xue calmed down and put the Evil Ghost Pestle into the storage ring. "It's not me who stole it anyway. If you have any problems, go find Master Wumu."
At this time, Nangong Mengxiang was beside him, scratching the back of his head, thinking hard,
"By the way, Shangguan or something... I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."
... ...
Somewhere in a remote corner inside the Ghost and Demon Pass.
Sima Ye and Shangguan Lengyan, who had managed to escape with great difficulty, hid in the dark, using their magical powers to conceal their aura.
"I didn't expect that Master Wumu would set up such a shocking plan in order to retrieve the evil ghost vajra... He even involved the temple protector, the demon girl Qin!"
Sima Ye was still in shock. Even though he was the eldest son of the Sima clan, a species of evil spirits, he did not have a protector of the same level as the Zither Demon Girl.
After all, the Zither Demon Girl is directly under the Holy Maiden of the Temple, while Sima Ye is only the prince of one of the two families in the Demonic Ghost City. His status in the Yinling Temple is very different from that of the Holy Maiden.
However, status and strength are two different things. His cultivation is the same as that of the Holy Maiden of the Temple, both are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Sima Ye also has decades of experience and has been suppressing his realm in order to successfully form the Tiandan in the Tiandan Secret Realm.
"Feel sorry... "
Shangguan Lengyan said in a low voice.
Sima Ye wanted to get the Evil Ghost Subduing Pestle for her.
Because the Evil Ghost Subduing Pestle is not only a powerful magic weapon, it also contains the secret magical powers of the previous head of the Shangguan family.
If she could get the Demon-Subduing Pestle, her "Mysterious Dark Eyes" would be able to reach a higher level.
The Shangguan family and the Sima family have been intermarried for generations. Sima Ye and Shangguan Lengyan were arranged to be married since childhood, and Sima Ye's status in the family is even higher than Shangguan Lengyan.
"No, you don't have to apologize. You and I are supposed to advance and retreat together. I was not thoughtful enough about this matter." Sima Ye took a deep breath, "After I go back, I will ask the ancestor to open the evil ghost secret realm for us to help us make up for the ghost energy.
"As for the Demon-Subduing Pestle... We don't have much time left in the Demon-Subduing Pass. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until the auction starts."
Sima Ye could afford the Evil Ghost Subduing Pestle no matter how much it cost, but now they had become the target of public criticism in the Demon Pass, and whether they could leave smoothly after getting the thing was even more of a problem.
Not to mention the existence of the Blind Wizard, he will definitely not let Sima Ye take away the magical weapons of Wuyan Temple easily.
"...Should we give up?"
A hint of disheartenment flashed across Shangguan Lengyan's indifferent expression.
Her talent is not outstanding in the clan, and is incomparable to Sima Ye.
If he cannot obtain the "mysterious dark pupil" in the Evil Ghost Subduing Pestle, he will drift further and further away from Sima Ye after he forms the pill.
"No, there is a way, but it requires some risks." Sima Ye calmed down and said, "Let's steal the evil ghost pestle. As far as I know, the Medicine Gang and the Tianhai Gang have been in constant conflict these days, not to mention what happened today.
"The Tianhai Auction House, where the evil spirit pestle is stored, must have been lax in its guard. This is our last chance."
Shangguan Lengyan was silent for a while, then nodded.
"Okay, I can use my secret method to sense the location of the evil ghost pestle. After I get it, I can use our previous method to force my way through the ghost and demon gate and return to the Demon Abyss."
Shangguan Lengyan is not an indecisive person. Since Sima Ye has made up his mind, she will not waver.
What she wanted to do was to use this sealed "mysterious dark pupil" to replace her own eye, because she knew very well that she could not reach the same level as the previous head of the family, her distant aunt Shangguan Yu.
I'm afraid that in this lifetime I can only barely squeeze into the Nascent Soul stage, and I won't be able to go too far in the Nascent Soul stage. I can't be compared with my extremely talented aunt at all.
The other geniuses of the Shangguan clan disdain to use Shangguan Yu's pupil technique, so they will not compete with her, but they will not help her either.
Therefore, this is Shangguan Lengyan's only chance, the only chance to break free from her own shackles.
"Also, before we do anything... we have to add the final fuel to the powder keg that is about to explode at Guimoguan."
Sima Ye narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he was still seriously injured, his expression had regained some of his former strategic planning ability.
"It's okay to take advantage of the situation."
Shangguan Lengyan nodded slightly, and immediately used her magical powers to sense the aura of the "mysterious dark pupils".
After a moment, she opened her eyes, her face full of shock.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Shangguan Lengyan's expression, Sima Ye asked hurriedly.
“Not in…”
Shangguan Lengyan looked in the direction of Tianhai Auction House. In this direction, the sky was empty and there was no trace of the evil spirit's pestle.
"How is it possible?" Sima Ye frowned slightly, "Before this, I had already inquired about it, and the Evil Ghost Pestle is in the auction house.
"Except for us and Master Wumu, no one would be interested in this special magic weapon."
Vajra is a Buddhist instrument and can only be used by Buddhist disciples. In the hands of other people, it may just be a heavier weapon and cannot be used effectively.
But after Shangguan Yu's magical powers were sealed inside it, it was contaminated with the aura of the evil ghost species, so the evil ghost species could also drive its power.
"Yes, the Eyeless Mage, it must be the Eyeless Mage!"
Shangguan Lengyan carefully sensed it again, and finally found the scent of the Evil Ghost Pestle in an inconspicuous direction. Her breathing became rapid, "Could it be that he stole the Evil Ghost Pestle? But he... How could he do such a thing..."
Sima Ye was silent for a while, then shook his head.
"He is indeed capable of such a thing. Master Wumu is completely different from ordinary Buddhist disciples. This is the most difficult part..."
But no matter what, the evil spirit pestle must be taken back.
Chapter 98: Shangguan Yu's regret, a full glass of Coke
In the small inn.
Nangong Mengxiang went to bed early. She was very carefree. All the thrilling events of the day did not affect her fine sleep at all. Luo Xue who was staying next door could hear her soft snoring.
The Sha sisters were worried. They had never seen such a scene before. Luo Xue could hear them tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep, and the rustling sound was endless.
As for Luo Xue, her soul had already experienced countless lives and deaths. What happened today was not as desperate and helpless as when she faced Taoist Zi Yang.
However, there are still many things that confuse her.
First, the Witch of Qin came to the rescue.
Luo Xue was very sure that she and the protector of the Yinling Temple had never met before and had never had any intersection with them.
Not to mention the Yin Ling Temple, at most they are just ranked higher than the disciples of the Blood Lord. They can't be considered enemies or friends.
Luo Xue wanted to ask, but she was afraid that she would not survive after asking...
These Yuanying old monsters always have very strange tempers. Not to mention the Demon Zither Girl, my stepmother Luo Huaxin is an excellent example.
Second, the parting gift from Master Wumu.
Luo Xue took out the evil spirit pestle. Under the dim candlelight, this pestle, which was only the length of an arm, still emitted a faint sacred light.
But the only thing that is out of place is the live beads at both ends of the vajra.
“These two live beads should be the sealed Taoist magic power.”
Luo Xue carefully sensed the two live beads. At this time, the live beads had not opened and looked like two black beads.
"All demons and ghosts are evil ghosts. I remember that the Demon Abyss Tianjiao who wanted to capture me seemed to be from this place." Luo Xue pondered, "And Shangguan... that woman seemed to have this last name, wait!"
At this moment, Luo Xue finally realized the most wrong thing, or the most coincidental thing.
These things are not completely unrelated.
“According to Master Wumu, this thing contains the magical power of the Shangguan family, so it should be what the Shangguan woman from the Demon Abyss wants to get.
“And she and another person named Sima have always been wary of the Mage Wumu, as if they were afraid that he would do something.
"But now..."
The Blind Wizard did cause trouble. He stole the things that the evil ghost genius wanted, and then gave them to Luo Xue.
This magic weapon must be very important to the evil ghost geniuses. Like Luo Xue, they avoid all ears and eyes and sneak into the Ghost and Demon Pass just to get the Evil Ghost Subduing Pestle.
So the tricky thing about this thing is not just that it's stolen goods, it will also attract the attention of the evil ghost species.
Thinking of this, Luo Xue tightened her grip on the Demon Subduing Pestle and felt a little hesitant.
Since this thing is so tricky, why not just give it back to them...
Just as Luo Xue was thinking, her hand holding the vajra was suddenly pierced with red spots and was sucked into the evil ghost pestle.
"ah!"
Luo Xue immediately let go of her hand, but it was too late. The Evil Ghost Pestle started to move on its own.
In an instant, the living bead opened, and the scarlet eyeballs stared straight at Luo Xue. Countless mysteries seemed to flow in the pupils, with a terrifying aura.
"How did it... become activated? Or did it recognize its master?"
Luo Xue was a little flustered and wanted to stop the evil spirit pestle.
