Chapter 27

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two figures directly leaped down from the second floor, appearing on either side of Ao Bai.

"Who are you?"

Ao Bai couldn't help but swallow hard, looking at the two people who had sealed off his movements. His Golden Bell Shield had already been practiced to the sixth level, making him invincible in the Qing Dynasty. Yet, in front of these two people, he felt a strong sense of danger.

"I am from the Divine Marshal's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, a constable, Iron Hand." Iron Hand was a bald man, with a robust build, especially his arms, which were bulging with muscles, exuding strength.

"I am from the Dragon Guard Manor of the Ming Dynasty, the top secret agent, Duan Tianya." Duan Tianya had a calm expression, looking at Ao Bai coldly.

After the two spoke, their aura suddenly burst forth. Clearly, they had tacitly agreed that the stronger one would take Ao Bai away.

"Gentlemen, I merely despise Emperor Chongzhen, but I absolutely do not look down on the Ming Dynasty in any way."

Ao Bai, sandwiched in the middle, felt as if a large stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe. His internal energy was difficult to circulate, and he felt almost suffocated. He no longer had the overbearing aura he had before. Compared to the other two, he was nothing, and he didn't dare to make any rash moves. In his heart, he cursed, "Why didn't any experts from the Qing Dynasty of other worlds come to help him?"

The innkeeper, hiding at the back, seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere, knew that if he didn't stop it, a fight would break out. He ran over quickly.

"Gentlemen, please don't get angry here. The Grand Master has ordered that anyone who fights in Luoyang City will be banned from the auction." The innkeeper pleaded, with a hint of warning, "It doesn't matter if you ignore me, but if you don't participate in the auction, that's your loss."

Every second was golden. The income for just half a day was more than the previous three years combined. For the sake of money, he was willing to take risks.

Iron Hand and Duan Tianya, upon hearing this, both frowned and retracted their aura.

"Who is causing trouble in the inn?" The disturbance here naturally caught the attention of the cavalry patrol outside the street. Lu Bu directly led a hundred iron cavalry to surround the inn.

"General Lu, it's a minor issue. We have already resolved it in the inn." The innkeeper hurriedly ran to Lu Bu and said, "Iron Hand and the others, no matter how powerful they are, will have nothing to do with me after a few days."

But Lu Bu was different. Hearing that he was the first mighty general under the Grand Master, holding the position of Left General, the highest-ranking military official in the current dynasty, in charge of the cavalry, he could easily demolish this small inn.

"En." Lu Bu nodded and turned to leave. Zhou Yang had already instructed him that as long as no one was killed, he should try to avoid fighting. If a world-class expert like Invincible appeared, unless he entered the Grand Master's residence, Zhou Yang would be helpless.

"Please continue, guests. Our inn will provide a free pot of good wine for each table." The innkeeper apologized repeatedly, while Ao Bai had already fled.

"Father, didn't you capture the person downstairs?" Duan Tianya entered the private room, his face calm, and apologized to the domineering man.

"Tianya, Father already knows what happened downstairs. The auction is important now. We'll talk about other matters later." The domineering man naturally heard everything clearly.

"Divine Marshal, fighting is prohibited in the city, so I couldn't act." In another private room, Iron Hand explained.

"En, thank you for your hard work." The Divine Marshal man said indifferently.

Just as Ao Bai fled from the inn, a man with long eyebrows, standing at the inn's entrance, lightly flicked his ring finger, sending an invisible force into Ao Bai's body.

"There are two hours left until the auction. If you have any rare treasures you want to auction, please register at the front of the Multiverse Tower."

At this moment, the loudspeakers placed at various street corners in Luoyang City sounded simultaneously.

"Auction items are divided into four grades based on their value. For low-grade items, we take 40% of the auction value. For medium-grade items, 30%. For high-grade items, 20%. For top-grade items, 10%."

"Secret manuals, medical books, or alchemy formulas, if they already exist in the Multiverse Tower, the second copy will have no value."

Luoyang City was immediately abuzz with discussion.

"What a joke, we came to auction treasures, how can we sell our sect's secret manuals?" A tiger gang leader from the "Smiling, Proud Wanderer" laughed to a tiger gang leader from the "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber."

"Right, but I need to go to the toilet." The tiger gang leader from the "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber" smiled hypocritically, cursing in his heart, "Do you think I'm stupid? I just entered an inn and met a tiger gang leader. Who the hell knows how many tiger gang leaders are here? I'll sell the secret manual first. Once I get a copy of the Shaolin 72 Skills, I'll be rich."

"What should we do, Abbot?" In an inn, several monks from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" anxiously looked at their abbot. They had just seen over a dozen groups of monks, all practicing the same Shaolin 72 Skills, just in different quantities.

If there was one sect most nervous in Luoyang City, it was the Shaolin Temple. As soon as the announcement ended, over twenty groups of bald monks rushed towards the Grand Master's residence.

"Amitabha, let's quickly exchange the secret manuals for value points." Abbot Cixuan, with a calm face, couldn't help but change his expression, quickly getting up and rushing towards the Grand Master's residence.

At the entrance of the Grand Master's residence, Zhou Yang saw the monks rushing from all directions, his face slightly changing. Damn, could it be that the Shaolin Temple from the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" world came to seek revenge?

"Have you met this benefactor? I wonder if the value point exchange is here." Abbot Cixuan, a master of the innate realm, was the first Shaolin monk to reach the queue.

"Name: Abbot Cixuan.

Identity: Abbot of Shaolin Temple, 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.'"

"Yes." Zhou Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, glad it wasn't a troublemaker.

Abbot Cixuan pulled out a secret manual from his sleeve, "Iron Shirt."

This caused the monks from over twenty groups of Shaolin Temple to glare angrily. "Iron Shirt" was a secret manual that every Shaolin Temple had.

"We already have this in our Multiverse Tower." Zhou Yang said awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, the Shaolin monks behind him felt a bit schadenfreude, secretly wondering which world's Shaolin Temple was so powerful, even faster than this innate realm monk, and giving him a thumbs up.

"Shaolin Vajra Finger," Abbot Cixuan pulled out another secret manual.

"We already have this."

"Shaolin Vajra Palm."

"Sorry, we already have this."

...

As Abbot Cixuan pulled out one secret manual after another, the faces of the monks from over twenty groups of Shaolin Temple became increasingly dark. Which Shaolin Temple was so shameless, with no compassion?

Didn't they know to leave some room for other Shaolin Temples?

Did they sell all the secret manuals of the entire Shaolin Temple?

Do they deserve the Buddha?

...

"Flame Wood Sword Technique."

"Flame Wood Sword Technique, we don't have this."

"Flame Wood Sword Technique, advanced martial art, one of the Shaolin 72 Skills, value: 230 points."

Abbot Cixuan and the Shaolin monks behind him finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even monks have compassion.

...

"One Reed Crossing the River."

"We don't have this."

"One Reed Crossing the River, top martial art, a legendary light skill created by Bodhidharma, value: 800 points."

Abbot Cixuan's face was filled with joy, while the Shaolin monks behind him turned dark again.

...

"Dharma Sword Technique."

"Dharma Sword Technique, advanced martial art, a legendary sword skill created by Bodhidharma, value: 350 points."

Abbot Cixuan's face returned to its calm state, feeling the countless cold gazes from behind. He thought to himself, "One more and it's over."

...

"Bodhi Heart Sutra."

"Bodhi Heart Sutra, advanced martial art, one of the Shaolin 72 Skills, value: 400 points."

"Ding, congratulations, the host has collected all 72 Skills of the Shaolin Temple, rewarded with 1000 value points."

Zhou Yang was even more delighted upon hearing this, unexpectedly gaining such a reward. He thought to himself, this time, he wouldn't deduct the value points of the Shaolin Temple.

Abbot Cixuan directly traded the few secret manuals that hadn't lost their value, and left with a serene expression, despite the angry glares from a large group of monks.

Seeing that a significant portion of the queue was made up of Shaolin monks, to speed things up, Zhou Yang said, "If anyone in the queue wants to trade the 72 Skills of the Shaolin Temple, you don't need to queue. We already have all of them in our Multiverse Tower."

The Shaolin monks at the back of the queue: "..."

Here, I want to explain the historical background of the Four Great Detectives. Some of the Four Great Detectives are set in the Northern Song Dynasty, while others are set in the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period. For the sake of the story, I have set them in the Ming Dynasty.
