"This thing...... Is it the so-called 'special lot'?"

Lu Xingyue, who was also staring at the display platform, blinked in surprise, as if she couldn't believe it.

"This thing...... Doesn't that seem like a shabby?"

Lu Xingyue was not the only one who made such an exclamation, and everyone in the stands was also talking for a while. Because they saw a string of tattered bells lying quietly inside the spell mask on the display table...... No, it should be said that it is half a string of broken bells.

I saw that this string of bells was bronze as a whole, composed of several round copper bells, which added up to only half the size of a palm, and more than half of the copper bells were broken, and only one or two were visually intact. If this thing is thrown in the rubbish pile, no one will necessarily pick it up, let alone appear at such a high-level auction, it is no wonder that everyone present is stunned.

"Hehe, it seems that everyone is quite curious about this lot~ Although this string of copper bells does not look good, its origin is not ordinary. The woman glanced at the introduction on the card in her hand and introduced with a smile. "This bronze bell is called 'Beam Bell', which is a kind of god and mana that can restrain it...... Even the high-grade utensils of the soul, and can be sealed for tens of thousands of years, can be described as a rare treasure. ”

"Hmph, even if it is a high-grade treasure, it can be used like this?" A piercing question suddenly flew out from his eyes. "Besides, it's not that there are no treasures that can accommodate the soul of a god or something, what's so strange about this 'beam bell'?"

"That's right......"

"I thought it was some kind of baby, just this?"

"Heh, I see, this is a temporary replacement to replace the disemboweling 'scourge', right?"

……

When everyone who was originally curious about this copper bell heard the introduction, they immediately exploded, and the laughter, doubt, and scolding were endless, and it was obvious that everyone had a skeptical attitude towards the appearance of this "beam bell".

"Hmm...... It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a lot of auction of this level in such a famous underground auction as the 'Ghost Market', isn't this smashing your own sign?"

Lu Xingyue held her chin, and she was also puzzled in her heart.

"I don't think this bell will be that simple...... What do you say?"

Lu Xingyue muttered, but did not get a response from Jiang Yao. He turned his head to look, and suddenly found that Jiang Yao was clutching his chest, constantly gasping for breath.

"What's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?"

Lu Xingyue was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yao's arm, but as soon as she came into contact with Jiang Yao's body, Lu Xingyue sensed that something was wrong.

"Your body...... It's so hot!...... your demonic power again!?"

"Hmm......" Jiang Yao lowered his head, and the sound of a violent heartbeat filled his ears, tearing at his consciousness. In a trance, he seemed to hear some kind of ethereal and distant bell slowly drifting from the center of the stage, each sound touching his heartbeat and stirring his restlessness.

"Ding...... Jingle ......

This is...... What was that?

Jiang Yao closed his eyes in pain, trying to cover his ears, but he couldn't stop the intrusion of the bell, and with this strange ringing of the bell, the voice of a young man who had been sleeping for a long time began to whisper softly in the depths of his heart, and a familiar throbbing suddenly surged up.

This feeling...... Could it be!?

Jiang Yao opened his eyes suddenly, gritted his teeth and raised his head, and cast his trembling gaze to the "beam bell" displayed in the center of the stage again, but at this moment, he heard the woman on the stage speak again, interrupting the discussion of everyone present.

"Kiki knows that everyone may still have doubts about this 'bunch bell', but Kiki's introduction is not finished yet~" The woman looked at everyone with a smile. "Actually, it's not the 'bunch' itself that will be auctioned this time, but the 'something' that is confined inside~"

"Something?" When everyone present heard this, they immediately fell silent, and their expressions were different.

"What the hell is it? Don't sell it! Hurry up!" an impatient voice came out of the crowd again.

"Hehe, to be honest, Kiki doesn't know what's in it. However, Kiki knows that this "bunch" has been handed down from ancient times, and the things bound in it must have a history of thousands of years. The woman laughed.

"Let's put it this way, this 'bunch' is like a 'lucky treasure chest' that has flowed down from thousands of years, and as for whether it is a priceless Shikigami or a worthless bug, or something else...... It depends on your luck~ Having said that, since it is a thing from ancient times, the reserve price is more than all the previous lots, at least 1.5 billion yuan. ”

"Fifteen billion? You're not kidding, are you?"

"I don't even know what's in it, and I still have to shoot 150 million?

"What we want is the 'Soul Suppression Stone'! Throw this kind of broken thing down quickly, don't delay our business!"

……

The ultra-high reserve price quoted by the woman successfully aroused the ridicule of everyone present, and in stark contrast was the miserable white and stunned face under Jiang Yao's mask.

No, that thing can't be photographed! If I'm not mistaken, the ...... in this "bunch" Actually...... Hmm!?my head...... It hurts!

Jiang Yao gasped, the throbbing in the depths of his heart continued to stimulate the ocean of energy in his body, and Jiang Yao's appearance of being on the verge of getting out of control also made Lu Xingyue anxious, he quickly turned his head, intending to ask for help from the three-legged black and the glutton, but found that the gluttony who was still on the side just now was missing at this time.

"Hmph, gluttonous guy...... My own 'children' don't take care of it, and they want me to take care of the aftermath, and I will help him write down this account first. The three-legged black looked at the faintly pervasive dark purple demonic aura around Jiang Yao's body, and looked speechless.

"Xingyue, you get out of the way. ”

After speaking, the three-legged black leaned forward, and reached out and pressed on Jiang Yao's chest without saying anything, under Lu Xingyue's nervous gaze, the dark purple demon qi that permeated Jiang Yao's body finally gradually calmed down, and his breathing eased a lot.

"Jiang Yao, are you okay?" Lu Xingyue hurriedly supported Jiang Yao, and saw that the other party's consciousness seemed to be awake, so she relieved herself.

"It's really dangerous just now, if the demonic power gets out of control in a place like this, it will be troublesome...... Thanks to you, Three-legged Black. ”

Lu Xingyue happily turned to the three-legged black, but found that the other party was not listening to him at all. I saw that the three-legged black's turquoise pupils were staring at Jiang Yao tightly, and there seemed to be a faint hint of surprise in the depths of his eyes.

"I didn't expect it...... There is actually a ...... in him," the three-legged black muttered in a low voice, looking thoughtful. "No wonder that gluttonous guy attaches so much importance to this kid, could it be ......"

"Three-legged black, you, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the three-legged black staring at Jiang Yao so directly, Lu Xingyue was vaguely uneasy, and quickly changed the topic. "By the way, what about glutton? Why is he gone? ”

“……”

The three-legged black finally withdrew his gaze from Jiang Yao's face, he looked at Lu Xingyue, and then turned his head away lightly, and said:

"He said he had something to do, and he was going to leave for a while. As for where it went, I didn't ask. ”

"Ahh......h

"Oh, it seems that everyone is not very interested in this 'beam bell', why hasn't any adult bid until now~" The woman on the stage looked up at the screen above the square, and saw that the bidding price on the screen was still at the reserve price, and even this reserve price has not yet been released.

"Trouble...... If the contents of this 'Bunch' are obtained by the outside world, something will happen!"

Jiang Yao remembered the "Demon Gu Disaster" that once caused trouble in Changyou Mountain, and he couldn't help but alarm bells in his heart, but the reserve price of 1.5 billion yuan was also impossible for him to afford, which made him fall into entanglement and hesitation for a while.

"I don't know what you've noticed, but at the moment when the 'Soul Stone' is about to appear, no one should want to lose money on this bell. I'm afraid this "beam bell" is going to be auctioned. Lu Xingyue shook her head and said. "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, what happened to you just now, why did the demonic power suddenly get out of control?"

"This ......"

"Unfortunately, it's time to bid. Since no one is willing to put up a reserve price, the auction of this "bunch" can only come to an end. ”

Before Jiang Yao had time to reply, a woman's regretful announcement came from the stage, and the display platform carrying the "beam bell" immediately retracted under the stage again and slowly disappeared from everyone's field of vision. Jiang Yao looked at the copper bell that was gradually departing from his eyes, but his disturbed mood did not calm down, and just as he was immersed in various speculations, he heard a huge cheer erupt from around the stands!

"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, it is finally time for the finale of this year's 'Ghost Market' auction, have you been waiting for it for a long time!"

After the ninth lot, the auction is belatedly high. In the woman's agitating words, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited.

"I think everyone also knows that in ancient times, there was a magical magic stone that could manipulate the soul and reverse reincarnation! For this thing, the Three Realms once set off a bloody storm, but this magic stone suddenly disappeared one day. For thousands of years, some say it's long gone, others say it's hidden in some secret place, and no one knows where it is......"

As she spoke, the woman walked to the front of the stage and looked around at the crowd with fanatical faces.

"But the world has changed, and after a thousand years, through the efforts of our 'Ghost Tooth Group' and our great Tubo Master, this magic stone has finally reappeared in the world!

The woman shouted loudly, suddenly turning sharply and reaching out to the center of the stage.

"Let's give away the final lot of this 'Ghost Market' auction - 'Soul Stone'!"
