Chapter 256 Mask
Chapter 256 Mask
As soon as the words "no selling" were uttered, the many Dharma seekers present were instantly in an uproar.
Some kind-hearted people even tried to persuade the woman that it was just an ordinary mask and not a treasure. Since she had met a sucker like Meng Ning, she should just sell it.
There were also some people who rushed in front of Meng Ning, frantically selling their products, hoping that Meng Ning would spend money lavishly like he did on the mask in the woman's hand.
Meng Ning coldly took back the coins in his hand, and then took out three talismans from the sword box.
As soon as the magic talisman appeared, powerful magic power waves spread throughout the venue, shocking everyone.
Meng Ning waved his hand casually, activating one of the talismans. In an instant, within a radius of dozens of meters, except for Meng Ning and the woman setting up a stall in front of him, everyone's movements and consciousness became strangely sluggish for 9 seconds.
Haishan witnessed everything and was greatly shocked. The effect of the talisman used by Meng Ning was very similar to the secret method of Penglai, where he was from. For a moment, he could live forever and support the flowers. Could it be...
Meng Ning also realized Haishan's shock, smiled at him, and then explained to the shocked woman in front of him.
"This talisman is called the Immortal Flower of a Moment. It was created based on the secret method of Penglai, a wealthy family seeking dharma in the world.
Once activated, it can pause the time and space within dozens of meters around itself for up to nine seconds.
Although it is only a minor magical talisman, its ability to save lives, escape, and control enemies is more powerful than some medium-level magical talismans."
After saying that, Meng Ning pointed at the mask in the girl's hand again and said, "Since you have no desire for money, you must want to barter.
In this case, I will exchange these two precious talismans for the useless mask in your hand, how about that? "
Nine seconds had passed exactly after Meng Ning finished speaking, and the people around him regained consciousness in an instant. They all had shocked and strange expressions on their faces, looking at the two talismans in Meng Ning's hand with greedy looks on their faces. It was obvious that after realizing Meng Ning's powerful aura, they took them all in with desire in their eyes.
For a moment, the Changsheng Flower Talisman paused the time and space. The bodies of those who were paused could not move, but their consciousness was very clear. They heard what Meng Ning said to the woman just now.
But at this moment, Meng Ning's demeanor as a strong man who made light of important tasks made them afraid again.
Now, the onlookers looked at the woman with fiery expressions. They coveted the remaining two talismans and wished they could agree to it on her behalf.
Seeing this, the woman shook her head and sighed, and once again rejected Meng Ning's proposal. Then she raised her head slightly, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, and then explained.
"My lord, you may not know that this mask has a very special meaning to me.
I am just a disciple of an unknown small sect.
Once when I went down the mountain to train, I was on a mission to eliminate bandits. I saw a man in the bandit den. He was wearing this mask and was hung high above the gate of the mountain stronghold. "
Having said this, the woman paused, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes.
"Later, after some investigation, I found out the whole story.
This man was originally a hunter in a village at the foot of the mountain. In order to save a helpless mother and daughter, he dared to sneak into the mountain village alone and successfully rescued them with a clever trick.
But when they were escaping, they were unfortunately shot by a hidden arrow and ultimately failed to escape. They were tragically hung on the mountain stronghold by the bandit leader as a warning to others. "
"I sincerely admire this man. Although he does not possess great power, he is able to resolutely do good deeds that usually only seekers have the courage and ability to practice.
Since then, I have regarded him as my idol.
After properly burying this heroic knight, I carried his mask with me, always reminding myself:
For the rest of your life, don’t ask if it’s possible, but if you should do it! "
After the woman finished speaking, an invisible light seemed to emerge from her body, making it impossible to look directly at it!
"In this world, you can only take away what people love, but never take away what they aspire to. If that's the case, I have no reason to force you to buy this thing."
After Meng Ning finished his exclamation, three magic talismans floated in front of the young lady. Meng Ning's behavior confused the young lady and everyone else. Meng Ning continued to speak to the young lady.
"These three talismans are my thanks for bothering you just now."
After saying that, Meng Ning turned around and left, walking to the front of the people from the Three True Sect and joining them.
"Why? There are times when you fail to achieve your goals?"
Haishan teased Meng Ning. Meng Ning had made quite a few shopping moves before, so the Sanzhen people naturally noticed it.
For this, Meng Ning shook his head helplessly, looked at the Zhong Kui mask in the masked woman's hand, and smiled at it, which was shrouded in countless causal threads.
“It’s not meant to be, but the treasure won’t be in tatters if it falls into her hands.
Besides, I also have a feeling that my fate with her has not yet come to an end."
"Treasure? What's so special about that thing?" Hao Guang was puzzled when he heard Meng Ning say that the Zhong Kui mask was a magic weapon.
In his eyes, that thing was no different from the masks sold by vendors for two copper coins each at temple fairs when he was a child.
Facing Hao Guang's question, Meng Ning grabbed the cuff of his arm and pulled it gently. Suddenly, a long silk thread was pulled out.
Looking at the silk thread fluttering in his hand, Meng Ning explained with a smile to Hao Guang, who was angry because his clothes were pulled untied.
“I just pulled your clothes, so your clothes are unraveled, and that’s why you are angry.
This process is linear. If there is no beginning, there will be no end. If I don’t pull your clothes, you won’t be angry.
I call what just happened cause and effect, and because it is a linear process, it is also called the cause and effect line.
“Cause and effect lines are the connections in the world, the relationships between people and between things.”
"So, what does this have to do with that thing being a treasure?" Miao Qingqing didn't understand and asked.
"Meigu, you mean that the mask has many causal lines? There are many things that the mask is involved in?
Meiqiu, you are not interested in the function of the mask itself, but in his past stories and experiences?"
Pa~pa~
Meng Ning applauded and praised, saying that Hao Guang was indeed a very smart boy who understood everything at once. Then he hit the boy on the head with two bumps at lightning speed.
"You may be smart, but I've told you so many times to call me Senior Brother, not Coal Ball!"
Haishan Liaoze looked at Meng Ning with a strange expression. As far as he knew, Meng Ning had lived with the people of Sanzhen Famen since he was a child.
So why does he understand the law so thoroughly?
Is it possible for a genius to reach this level?
While a few people were chatting, there were two people hiding in the shadows at the ceremony, silently watching everything here.
One of them, a cute girl in green clothes and with two pigtails, complained to the tall and fashionable beauty next to her.
"Sister, we have confirmed two. But is there something wrong with our detection technique on that arrogant boy in white? Why is the mark flashing?"
In response to the girl's question, the woman in white also shook her head silently. "This is the first time I've encountered such a situation, and I can't be sure. Let's eliminate the two people we are sure of first, and then this kid can report to the owner later."
"Hehehe, okay, I've already prepared the rope. But the gray-haired boy is in the same group with the white-haired boy.
The white-haired boy doesn't look like a good person, and neither does the sissy little Persian cat with heterochromatic eyes. It seems that they both have a degree in supernatural powers.
Sister, I don’t think we can beat him.”
The fashionable lady was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Even if you can't beat him, you have to fight him. Didn't you hear what the stall owner said just now?
When doing something, don’t ask whether it is possible, but whether it should be done.”
The girl in green, who had taken action after receiving a positive answer, burst into laughter with joy. "What a pleasure, what a pleasure. That's great, hehehehehe..."
Just as the girl was laughing wildly, the organizer of the rally carried an incense burner to the highest platform and started yelling.
"Please look here, I am the head of Louzhong Street, Chen Feng."
"I recently got a new treasure, and I want you to see it..."
