Chapter 44: The Auction

Fang Xile has been in Xichuan County for three months.

In the past three months, she followed Ning Zizhi to a few places, caught a few imps, and naturally became a fourth-layer martial artist of the cyclone.

Qin Yuchuan and Ning Ziwei were both impressed by her upgrade speed, only Fang Xile's family knew about her own family, if the yin qi was sufficient, she could rush to the later stage.

It's nothing with just four floors, after all, her goal is the sea of stars.

Ahem, it's a little floating.

At this time, Fang Xile, Ning Zizhi, and Mantou were sitting at the dinner table, but only Fang Xile and Mantou had food in front of them, and Ning Zizhi didn't even have a cup of tea.

"Ahem"

Ning Zizhi cleared his throat: "Hey, what are you eating, it smells so fragrant." ”

Fang Xile didn't raise his head: "I won't see it myself." ”

Seeing that the hint was not useful, Ning Zizhi had no choice but to speak: "I ran out early in the morning and didn't eat, so it's okay to give me a mouthful of porridge." ”

"Steamed buns", Fang Xile shouted.

The steamed bun turned around, Da Da ran to the stove, and served Ning Zi - a mouthful of porridge.

Ning Zi Title: ...... I'm so tired!

Unable to stand Ning Zizhi sighing on the side, Fang Xile put down his chopsticks.

"What are you doing here, have a mission?"

"There's an auction today, I want to ask if you want to participate?"

"Auction?"

Fang Xile thought for a while, and remembered that Ning Zizhi had said that there was an auction for martial artists in the county town, and some weapons, pills, and even exercises could be bought.

Anyway, there was nothing to do today, and Fang Xile decided to follow and have a long experience.

There are many warriors in the castle of Nishikawa County, and when you walk down the street, you can see people in all kinds of strange costumes, carrying swords and walking around.

These warriors are very well-behaved in the county town, and they dare not fight and brawl and gather all things.

After all, there are 30,000 black-armored soldiers in the city, and they will throw you out in minutes if they are not satisfied.

Therefore, many merchants did business in the county.

When there are many people, they all gather on one street, and this street is called the warrior street, and the street sells all the things that the warrior can use.

Like Xiangyun Pavilion, is a pharmacy that buys and sells Chinese herbal medicines.

Tie Sheng Ji is a weapons shop with cheap prices and a complete range of weapons.

Yilintang is a bookstore, but the main focus is not exercises, but martial arts novels, and some travelogues or something, the only few martial arts that support the faΓ§ade, and the exercises are also mainland goods, even the Fang family's "Blue Wolf Heart Method" is not as good.

Ning Zizhi took Fang Xile around these lively shops and walked to a cold street behind.

There are a lot fewer shops on this street, and the level of people coming and going looks much more upscale.

Ning Zizhi stopped in front of a bookstore, this bookstore has very few books, three bookshelves, only the first one has a few books on it, but those who know the industry know that these are genuine goods that can practice things.

The old man at the counter still had his eyes glued to the book in his hand: "What books are guests reading?"

"Look at the Red Book. ”

Only then did the old man raise his head and look at the two of them carefully.

Two masks were pulled out from under the counter: "The third bookshelf." ”

Ning Zizhi put on a mask, stood in front of the third bookshelf, and pushed it hard, and the bookshelf was pushed open like a door, revealing the steps behind it.

The stairs lead all the way to the underground, where the auction was held.

Fang Xile hurriedly followed: "An auction, why is it mysterious?"

Ning Zizhi explained: "In the past, there were cases where someone robbed the auction with high martial arts.

After that, the auction will be changed to the underground, and when the time comes, the door will be locked, and no matter how high your martial arts are, you will not be able to escape. ”

Fang Xile nodded in understanding.

Shortly after the two arrived, the auction began.

Standing on the stage was the old man who was the doorkeeper of the bookstore, who was deliberately dressed up at the moment and looked a lot more energetic.

"It's not the first time you've been here, so I'm not going to talk nonsense, old man, and I'm going straight to today's auction. ”

The first thing is a book of exercises.

"The Bodhicitta Dharma is really gentle, there is almost no risk of going mad, and it has the effect of nourishing the meridians. The starting price is 200 taels of silver. ”

The people below were in an uproar, and it was this kind of good thing as soon as it came up.

Although all of you have the exercises, you can also buy them for your children and grandchildren to practice.

"Two hundred taels!"

"Two hundred and ten taels!"

"Three hundred taels!"

"Three hundred and ten taels!"

...... "Four hundred taels!"

"Is there anything higher, four hundred and twenty-one, four hundred and twenty-two..."

"I'll give five hundred taels!"

Fang Xile had never participated in the auction before, so she watched it with relish, don't look at fifty taels as her ten-month salary.

But in Daqin, five hundred taels is a wealth that ordinary people can't earn in a few lifetimes.

These warriors are really rich!

Then the old man took out another tray, on which were some blades of grass, which were grayish-black and looked dry.

"This is Yin Peng Grass, which contains Yin Qi and can be used to refine pills, a total of seven, starting from twenty taels of silver each. ”

There was no reaction from the people below, after all, alchemist is a rare profession, and other martial artists will directly buy the finished pill.

At this time, a cold female voice sounded: "One hundred and forty taels, I want all seven!"

"The old man only needs one, and he is willing to give thirty taels!"

Ning Ziqi wondered: "Joy, you still know how to alchemy?"

"No, it won't. ”

"What about you?"

"Useful for itself. Fang Xile didn't explain to him, this herb contained yin qi, could she also take this herb directly to cultivate, if so, it would be regarded as an additional path to cultivate.

"I only need one!"

Another middle-aged man spoke.

The crowd wondered what was there to fight about a few herbs, and was there any use for this herb that they didn't know?

The old man who was the first to speak just now looked at Fang Xile and arched his hand from afar: "Girl, I really need the canopy grass urgently, can the girl cut a piece of love?"

The middle-aged warrior also repeated the same.

Fang Xile thought about it, but if he bought it back and tested it, five was enough, so he auctioned five at a price of one hundred taels, and gave the rest to the elderly and middle-aged people.

After auctioning what he wanted, Fang Xile lost interest in the auction, and chatted with Ning Ziwei while drinking tea, waiting for the auction to end.

The two walked to the street, Fang Xile hurriedly went back to do the experiment, and was about to say goodbye to Ning Zizhi.

Suddenly, a hint of yin qi was felt.

Fang Xile ran away, and Ning Zizhi followed closely.

"What's wrong?"

Ning Zi asked, and then his gaze crossed over to Fang Xile and landed on the corpse in the alley.

The corpse was quite old, its eyes were wide open, as if it had been frightened by something, and its chest and heart were missing.
