Chapter 964: Ominous Stone, Bid!
"That's the 'Killing Stone'. The middle-aged man wanted to whet people's appetites, but Ken Kobayashi on the high platform called out the name of the material for the giant ghost statue in his hand.
"You...... How do you know?" The smugness on the middle-aged man's face had not yet subsided, and immediately turned into astonishment.
"Actually, you already told us the material when you opened your mouth, 'killing the unicorn', I think the 'killing' must not be added casually, right?" Kobayashi Ken talked eloquently, looking confident, if you don't look at his terrifying skinny image, maybe he can attract a lot of women.
"You're right, this giant ghost statue is carved from the 'Killing Stone', and I named it 'One Horn'. After the middle-aged man was stunned, he was also secretly annoyed that he was too proud, and added "killing" to it, otherwise no one would have guessed what its material was for the first time.
"Is it really a 'Killing Stone'?" The original jealousy and dislike of the giant ghost statue by the people present has turned into undisguised greed, after all, the Killing Stone is also a "legendary" treasure.
"What is the 'Killing Stone'?" Li Xuehao did hear about this material for the first time, and asked Suzuki Fiana on the other side.
"Oh, doesn't Manaka know about the 'Killing Stone'?" Fiana Suzuki had a strange look on his face, as if he was surprised by his "unheardness".
Li Xuehao shook his head, in fact, he had already investigated it as early as when the middle-aged man untied the black cloth, and the giant ghost statue had nothing else outstanding except for the exquisite and lifelike carving.
And the reason why it exudes that evil and ominous aura is because of its material itself, which is obviously also a kind of "natural and earthly treasure", but it is just the opposite of those heavenly and earthly treasures that are beneficial to the body, and its existence belongs to the dark side.
There is yang and yin in the world, there is good and bad, although the evil "heaven and earth treasure" has no positive gain, but it also has a special role, such as as as the dwelling place of evil spirits, it can enhance the strength of evil spirits, and of course it will make evil spirits more ferocious.
It's just that the giant ghost statue in the hands of the middle-aged man at the moment does not contain an evil spirit, so it is just an empty tool, which is just suitable for trading items.
Suzuki Fiana explained: "The 'Killing Stone' is a poisonous stone, also known as the 'ominous stone', there are many legends about it, and the most exaggerated one is that the 'Killing Stone' is the crystallization of the demonic power that seals the soul of the nine-tailed demon fox Tamamo in front of it, and if anyone gets it, they can even summon the nine-tailed fox demon spirit inside and make it obey their own ......"
Of course, Li Xuehao didn't believe in the exaggerated statement that the demon spirit of the nine-tailed fox was sealed inside, if there was really a spirit in the "Killing Stone", it would not be able to hide his divine sense at all.
"Of course, the above is just a legend, and a more credible theory is that the 'killing stone' is a kind of stone born inside the volcano, because the stone contains toxic substances that are ejected out of the mountain when the volcano erupts, and birds and beasts close to the 'killing stone' will be killed by poisonous substances in an instant, so this is the origin of the 'killing stone'. Fiana Suzuki continued.
Li Xuehao didn't answer, this statement is more scientific, but in fact, he knows that the killing stone is not poisonous at all, because the yin and evil qi inside it is too strong, and if the flesh and blood creatures get close to it, they will be eroded by the yin and evil qi, and they will die on the spot in serious cases, it is estimated that this is the real origin of the killing stone.
"Papapa......" A slapping sound suddenly sounded on the high platform, it was Ken Kobayashi. After he attracted the attention of everyone present, he coughed, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I have to say, yours...... Oh, what shall I call you?"
"Kagawa Yoshito is from Hokkaido. The middle-aged man introduced with a stiff face.
"So, Mr. Kagawa. Ken Kobayashi nodded and grinned, "First of all, I want to say that the 'Killing Stone', as a precious raw material, is indeed very attractive to me, but I'm really sorry, I got a piece before, so I won't exchange what I already have, you better think about it carefully, what else can make me feel more excited......"
When the middle-aged man heard him say this, he sat down with a look of disappointment, and at the same time wrapped the giant ghost statue in a black cloth again.
Both of them were rejected in a row, and the onmyoji below were even more worried, and they all weighed in their hearts whether it was possible for them to make a deal with Ken Kobayashi.
It would be a bit humiliating if they were rejected like the first two.
Seeing that the people below were quiet again, Ken Kobayashi's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly looked at the abbot of Chiba who was sitting on the side of the high platform and said, "Mr. Chiba, as the abbot of a shrine, you will need such an artifact even more, don't you?
Seeing that he was looking at him, Abbot Chiba's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, and just said lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't have anything to exchange for the equivalent of." ”
"That's a shame. Kobayashi Ken looked at him deeply, retracted his gaze, looked at the many onmyoji below and said, "Since no one continues to 'bid', then I can only announce that this artifact is 'unsold'......"
"Wait a minute!" Before he could finish speaking, another voice sounded below.
Ken Kobayashi was slightly stunned, but his eyes subconsciously looked at the source of the voice.
That's a young ...... No, it's not just young, but even a teenager who looks like a teenager and a teenager, with a tall figure and just as handsome looks.
It's just that such a young face, how did he appear at the Lucky God Gathering? You must know that the people who can participate in the Lucky God Gathering are basically well-known onmyoji in China, but the other party is so young, obviously it will not be a well-known onmyoji.
"This young man, can you introduce yourself first?" Kobayashi Ken narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the young man carefully, as if he wanted to judge who he was from his next words.
"Koji Manaka, from Yokohama City. Li Xuehao learned the introduction of several people before the school very cleanly.
"Looking at your appearance, do you also want to 'bid'?" asked Ken Kobayashi with interest.
"That's right. Li Xuehao nodded, if he didn't have to rob it, it would be the best, anyway, he had originally brought the things he traded, and now it's just "waste utilization".
"Well, take out your exchange, and if I'm satisfied, I'll make a deal with you. Ken Kobayashi said with an encouraging face, but everyone could tell that he was just a formulaic answer, and he didn't expect a deal to be made at all.
