Happy Girl

Chapter 181 The legend is not necessarily just a legend
"You are right." Li Yunqi said with a light smile, "The descendants and family members of Lord Jingguo are all family members of meritorious officials. We really have to say hello to Miss Gongsun." After speaking, he got up and looked at Lan Yan who was sitting across the table.

Lan Yan bowed slightly and stood up, and said with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to visit Miss Gongsun, Yan'er, sisters Jiaojiao and Hua Feng should accompany her."

"Okay." Li Yunqi agreed with a smile, but there was some displeasure in his eyes.Couldn't this woman see that he didn't want to visit Gongsun Lan?
The four of them left the private room and soon came to the opposite private room.Gongsun Lan is not the only person sitting in this private room, but several ladies and sons of Gongsun's family share the same private room.

Gongsun Lan was Yan Yunqing's direct granddaughter and Yan Yunqing's favorite descendant, so she was held in the center of everyone's attention. When she saw Li Yunqi's sudden visit, she was stunned for a moment and then came over with great joy.

It's a pity that Li Yunqi came here purely because Luo Jiaojiao and Murong Huafeng mentioned the merits of Lord Jingguo, so he just expressed his condolences politely, then left and returned to his private room.

"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhappy?" Lan Yan reciprocated, smiling like a spring breeze, and asked.

Li Yunqi raised his sword eyebrows slightly, then he chuckled and said: "Yan'er is joking, how can I be unhappy? The auction is about to begin, let's see what the first lot is?"

Luo Jiaojiao said: "This Dayuebao Pavilion is very mysterious. Every auction must leave a few suspense, and not all the lots will be written on the auction list."

Murong Huafeng said: "No. They are deliberately arousing others' curiosity so as to attract more customers."

Luo Jiaojiao looked at Lan Yan and said, "By the way, Miss Lan Wu, I've never seen you participate in an auction of this size before, so this must be the first time."

Lan Yan said: "Yes, I used to recuperate in Ting Yuyuan, and I couldn't come and go freely like the two young ladies. Now I think about it, but I feel full of regret. Fortunately, I have recovered from my serious illness. In the future, His Royal Highness will often She took me to and from such occasions." After speaking, she deliberately looked at Li Yunqi "affectionately".

Li Yunqi hurriedly said: "Naturally. Yan'er is my fiancée, how could my king neglect you?"

Luo Jiaojiao was overwhelmed by the congenial conversation between the two of them, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Originally, she mentioned that the few mysterious items left in the auction would not be specially marked on the list, in order to highlight that Lan Yan did not know the rules and habits of this auction, and to embarrass her.

Unexpectedly, she blamed everything on her serious illness, and pretended to be pitiful in front of the prince, which aroused the prince's sympathy and made him feel affection for her. This really made Luo Jiaojiao feel unhappy.

At this time, on the smooth jade-like floor in the center of the auction room on the first floor, a female warrior with a protruding front and back and an extremely enchanting and gorgeous face has already walked past. She looks only 23 or [-] years old on the surface. When Gu Universe tested her strength, he couldn't help being taken aback.

"This should be the host of this auction, and he is actually a martial artist who is born in the Tianyuan realm." Lan Yan communicated with Yuan Rong's soul in surprise, "It's just that the host of the auction has such a cultivation level. Because, it seems that the auction organized by the Great Moon Treasure Pavilion is really extraordinary."

"Everyone, the annual Dayuebao Pavilion boutique auction is finally here again. I believe you have already got the list of items for this auction..."

As soon as the host came to the stage, he first briefly introduced the items they marked, and suddenly changed his tone, becoming extremely mysterious, and said: "Everyone must know that our Great Moon Treasure Pavilion's historical boutique auctions, whether it is The items for the opening auction are still the items for the closing auction, and they will never be included in the list. Moreover, during the auction process, it is very likely that some treasures will be temporarily added to the auction ranks.

So, what will be the first item to be auctioned at the opening of our boutique auction? "

The host said and pointed to the staff next to him.

Many warriors who came to the auction site unconsciously looked in the direction she pointed, but saw several staff members from the audience pushing a copper cart onto the stage.There is a rectangular booth about two meters long and one meter wide on the car.

There was obviously something on the booth, but it was covered by a piece of red cloth. Everyone could only see the ups and downs of the red cloth, and couldn't guess what was under the red cloth.

The host smiled lightly, his eyes flickering, and he said leisurely: "It is said that the ancient Buddhist martial arts venerable Da Shitian came to my Xuanwu Dynasty from a distant unknown country, and brought a set of peerless martial arts that amazed the world... ..."

Immediately in the lobby for ordinary guests on the first floor, warriors couldn't help shouting: "Could it be that the thing covered by the red cloth is related to that set of peerless martial arts?"

"Impossible, the martial arts brought by Da Shitian from other places, we have always only heard of its name, but never seen its shadow, don't we all say that it is just a legend?"

"Yeah, Xiao Luzi, don't be fooled, what's under the red cloth, let's take a look."

……

Li Yunqi kindly explained in Lan Yan's ear: "Dayuebaoge's annual boutique auction is hosted by this Lu Fanghua every time, so many people know her and call her affectionately. She's a little way."

Lan Yan smiled at him, but she was cursing in her heart: "You insidious bastard, you deliberately pretended to be intimate with me in front of Luo Jiaojiao and Murong Huafeng. You clearly want to increase hatred for me!"

"Hee hee," at this moment, Lu Fanghua on the auction stage smiled coquettishly and said, "Everyone, sometimes legends are not necessarily legends!"

As soon as these words came out, many warriors immediately stood up involuntarily, staring fieryly at the booth behind Lu Fanghua.

The ancient Buddhist venerable Da Shitian... Your lord, that is a figure of the first level of Wu Zun, and even the top warriors in the world today can only hold a candle to him.How could the martial arts he brought back from a distant foreign land not attract everyone's attention?

The host Lu Fanghua only had a few opening words, and even before the auction items were exhibited, he had already successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of all warriors.Lu Fanghua was quite satisfied with people's reactions, but nothing could be seen from her face.

She turned sideways, exposed the booth behind her to everyone, and said, "Okay, now, let us witness whether the legend really exists?" After saying that, she pointed to the booth.

The staff very cooperatively pulled down the red cloth covering the booth at this moment.

"Wow!"

When everyone saw the things on the booth, they immediately boiled.

"My God, what is this? It is the statue of the Eighteenth Arhat Wu Zun left by the legendary Dashitian."

"That's right, this is indeed the statue of the eighteen arhat warriors, and the stunts demonstrated on it are all martial arts of the warrior class!"

"Warrior-level martial arts that are more superb than heaven-level martial arts and even more powerful..."

……

Everyone was talking to each other, and many people's faces were flushed with enthusiasm, staring at the statue of the Eighteen Arhats on the booth, all of them were excited.

Lan Yan's time in the Xuanwu Dynasty was limited, and she had only heard a little about the "Da Shitian" that Lu Fanghua said just now. She knew that this person was an ancient martial master from the Buddhist family, at least she didn't know anything else.

As for the statues of eighteen arhats placed on the booth, Lan Yan felt that they were not too different from the eighteen arhats of Buddhism that she had seen in her previous life. She couldn't tell that these eighteen statues of monks had anything to do with martial arts.

These eighteen Arhat statues are black walnut in color and appear to be carved from walnut wood. They have different expressions and are lifelike. Some have their hands clasped together in front of their chests, some are lying down in the posture of a reclining Buddha, or some are sitting cross-legged...

Although they are in different poses, they seem to be very simple gestures of the Buddhists. Lan Yan carefully looked at them, but still didn't realize that what they showed were martial arts stunts.

However, she suddenly remembered the door god she met in the Phantom Demon Realm.The palm technique performed by the door god looks like this very simple gesture, but there is something else inside.Only when one understands martial arts to a certain level can one see its inner way.

Therefore, Lan Yan guessed that the Eighteen Arhats might be the same as the door god's palm technique. Although it looks simple and ordinary on the surface, there are countless universes inside, which are beyond the comprehension of ordinary warriors.

Li Yunqi explained in a "kindly" whisper to Lan Yan: "The origin of the ancient Buddhist martial arts has always been a mystery. Although the Buddhist martial arts he displayed obviously belonged to the same Buddhist sect as the Buddhist martial arts in our Xuanwu Dynasty, But the power is much stronger than our native Buddhist martial arts.

The definition of his famous stunt, Wu Zun, is said to have been imprinted on a set of statues composed of eighteen Arhats, which is what everyone now calls the Eighteen Arhats Wu Zun Statue. "

Lan Yan nodded, and said in a silly way on purpose: "But I think the statues of the Eighteen Arhats are just ordinary statues, and I can't see any martial arts in them at all."

Chi... Even though Luo Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress herself, she still let out a slight contemptuous chuckle.

But Murong Huafeng smiled lightly and said: "Miss Lan Wu doesn't know. Although the Eighteen Arhats Warrior Statue looks very simple on the surface and does not have any gorgeous moves, there is something else going on inside. For low-level people like you and me, With my cultivation level, I am still unable to understand the true meaning of martial arts in it.”

"Oh, that's how it is." Lan Yan pretended to be stunned, and said again: "Miss Murong is indeed very knowledgeable. A woman from a big family like you is really different from an ignorant woman from a small family like me."

She had an innocent smile on her face when she said this, and she showed a look of dejection later on, with no trace of sarcasm at all; however, Murong Huafeng felt a bit harsh when hearing these words. , as if she was deliberately showing off her knowledge in front of Li Yunqi.
