Chapter 242: Double Reed Trick
"The next lot is a bottle of essence blood of the innate demon beast red-tailed macaque, which is a rare material for refining talismans, and the reserve price is one hundred lower-grade spirit stones, and each time the price increases, it must not be less than twenty spirit stones. ”
When Shi Mu heard this, he immediately sat up straight, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
But in the center of the hall, a middle-aged Confucian was holding a topaz gourd in his hand, showing it in all directions.
Shi Mu suppressed a trace of excitement in his heart, and did not rush to make a move, but watched first.
The essence blood of ape innate demon beasts is still relatively rare, and there are naturally many people who know the goods on the scene, and people continue to quote new prices one after another.
It didn't take long for the price to rise to two hundred and sixty lower-grade spirit stones, and at this time, no one finally increased the price anymore.
"Two hundred and eighty spirit stones. Shi Mu said.
"Three hundred spirit stones. "The voice that had been fighting just now rang out again.
"Three hundred and twenty spirit stones. Shi Mu said.
The voices that had been arguing just now finally gave up after a period of silence.
"There is no one to bid, if not, the essence blood of the congenital red-tailed macaque will go to the friend who made the last bid. Middle-aged Confucian said.
A smile appeared on Shi Mu's face, it seemed that his rebirth could go to the next level.
"I'll give out three hundred and forty spirit stones. At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice from Shi Mu sounded.
Shi Mu turned his head to look at the place where the voice sounded, and saw a familiar figure in blue clothes in the front row, who was none other than Shen Tuguang, a child of the family who had been pestering Zhong Xiu before.
As if feeling Shi Mu's gaze, this person also turned his head and smiled at Shi Mu, his eyes full of provocation.
"Four hundred spirit stones. Shi Mu said.
Many people in the hall exclaimed, although the essence blood of the innate demon beast was relatively rare, the price was really a bit high.
A lot of people started to watch and talk.
"Four hundred and twenty spirit stones. Shen Tuguang said unhurriedly.
"Five hundred spirit stones. Shi Mu hesitated slightly. Road.
"Five hundred and twenty spirit stones. Shen Tu Guangdao.
The discussion at the scene suddenly increased a little, and many people looked at Shi Mu's gaze, a little more playful.
Shi Mu's face sank, and he immediately stopped speaking.
This price is already the bottom line he can afford.
"Stone, I'm. How great are the spirit stones!" Cai'er squatted on Shi Mu's shoulder, her eyes glared at Shen Tuguang, and she muttered in a low voice.
"Is there anyone bidding anymore?" the middle-aged Confucian looked at Shi Mu and asked.
Shen Tu Guang also turned his head and looked at Shi Mu's eyes full of mockery.
After a few moments, no new offers came out.
"Okay, this son, please come to the stage, and the red-tailed macaque essence blood will be yours. Middle-aged Confucian said.
Shen Tuguang glanced at Shi Mu contemptuously, and walked triumphantly in front of the middle-aged Confucian student. After throwing out a small bag of spirit stones, he took the topaz gourd, and the light in his hand flashed, and it disappeared.
After this hiccup, the auction continued as usual, and as time went on, the lots became more and more rare, and the atmosphere gradually reached a fever pitch.
Often a lot comes out. It will take a fierce competition before the dust can finally settle.
Although Shi Mu had several heartbeats. But it's a pity that I'm shy in my pocket.
Suddenly, he looked up and looked overhead.
Although it was faint, he did feel an extremely faint spatial fluctuation, like a wave of water rippling in the venue.
Spatial fluctuations. People who don't have the sensitivity of the spatial element, even if the power and strength of the divine sense are strong, it is difficult to sense it.
He looked around the room, and he seemed to be the only one around who sensed the strangeness.
"What's wrong?" Cai'er saw Shi Mu's strange expression and asked.
Shi Mu shook his head. Didn't speak.
His eyes flickered, and on the second floor of the hall, in the box of Princess Yueni, a figure walked out, with long blood-colored hair, it was Liu An.
He glanced at the noisy crowd around him, and there was a strange look in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and he walked towards an exit of the venue with an expressionless face.
Although that strange look was fleeting, it was still captured by Shi Mu.
The faint golden light in Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and as he watched Liu An's figure disappear at the exit, thoughts rolled in his heart.
After a moment's hesitation, he suddenly stood up and walked towards another exit.
"Stone, this is going back?" Cai'er said.
Shi Mu let out a soft "um" and quickened his pace.
An inexplicable palpitation haunted his heart.
"Stop!"
Just as Shi Mu was about to walk out of the exit of the venue, several figures appeared in front of him, blocking Shi Mu's way, and the person at the head was dressed in blue clothes, it was that Shen Tuguang.
"What's the matter?" Shi Mu said.
"Shi Gongzi wants this thing very much. Shen Tuguang waved his hand, and there was an extra topaz gourd in his hand, which was the bottle of ape essence blood that had just been auctioned.
Shi Mu didn't speak, just looked at Shen Tuguang.
"It's useless for this boy to hold this thing, if you really need it, it's not that you can't negotiate. Shen Tuguang said with a smile.
"What does Shentu Gongzi want to say, it's better to say it straight to the point. Shi Mu said.
"Okay, since Shi Gongzi is also a happy person, I won't make any detours. How about I exchange this vial of essence blood for your parrot?" said Shen Tuguang.
Shi Mu was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Cai'er on his shoulder, and a figure flashed in his mind, and then he was a little stunned in his heart.
"Okay, I'm begging for it! There is no benefit at all to follow this poor ghost of the stone, and you don't give me anything delicious at all, this son, at first glance, you are the dragon and phoenix among the people, and your family is rich, so you must not treat me like this." Before Shi Mu could speak, Cai'er had already shouted first.
"Haha, this son will give you a fragrant and spicy meal!" Seeing this, Shen Tu Guang was immediately overjoyed, looked at Shi Mu playfully, and laughed.
Several of his companions beside him also let out a burst of laughter.
Shi Mu's face suddenly turned blue and red, and he looked at the parrot angrily.
"Okay, I agreed. He spat out the words between his teeth.
Cai'er glanced at Shi Mu contemptuously, spread her wings, flew up happily, and landed on Shen Tuguang's shoulder.
"Shi Gongzi, then please put this away, the good bird breaks the wood and perches, you must not be angry!" Shen Tuguang threw the topaz gourd in his hand to Shi Mu with a smile, and patted Shi Mu on the shoulder.
Shi Mu's face was ugly, he glanced at Shen Tuguang and the others angrily, and strode towards the exit.
There was another burst of laughter behind him, full of mockery.
Shen Tuguang looked at Shi Mu's figure walking out of the hall with contempt, and his heart was greatly happy, and he fiercely showed the evil spirit of being humiliated twice by him that day.
"Your name is Cai'er, right, follow this son in the future, as long as you are obedient, there is no problem with what you want to eat. Shen Tuguang said to Cai'er.
Cai'er nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice.
"You have to do me a favor, though. Please Miss Zhong Xiu well. Shen Tuguang said again.
"No problem, it's a trivial matter, it's on me. Cai'er flapped her wings and puffed out her chest.
Shen Tu Guang was overjoyed when he heard this.
"But, having said that, I'm a noble parrot, and I don't want to be locked in a cage. Cai'er added.
Shen Tuguang didn't think much about it, nodded and agreed.
"Brother Shentu, the auction is still going on, there are a lot of good things in the future, let's go back quickly." A yellow-robed man urged with his fists.
Shen Tuguang was in a good mood, immediately waved his hand, and walked towards the venue with a group of people.
Today's auction house, he really has a lot of things he wants to pocket.
Outside the auction venue, Shi Mu stood on the crowded street outside, exhaled lightly, and the palpitations in his heart had disappeared at this moment.
He stood here motionless, as if waiting for something.
After a stick of incense, a shadow flew out from the third floor of Baoguang Pavilion, and after hovering slightly in midair, it rushed towards Shi Mu, it was Cai'er.
"Haha, that fool, that's so easy to deceive! I just used a little trick and came back. Cai'er landed on Shi Mu's shoulder and laughed.
Shi Mu smiled slightly.
"Stone, this time fortunately, I have the wisdom to get this bottle of ape essence blood without spending a spirit stone, how do you want to thank me?" Cai'er said.
The two sang and harmonized before, so naturally they played a trick of singing double reeds in front of Shen Tuguang.
"Okay, this time it's you who have made a meritorious ......" Shi Mu smiled, and was about to praise Cai'er twice.
At this moment, there was a big change.
The Baoguang Pavilion behind Shi Mu suddenly lit up with a dazzling blood light, and the blood light shone out from the four exit passages of the venue, as if there was an extra round of blood red sun in the venue.
Look at the source of the blood light, it is from the auction house hall on the first floor.
On the street, pedestrians stopped one after another, looked at Baoguang Pavilion with a stunned expression, pointed and discussed from time to time.
They didn't know what was going on in this Treasure Light Pavilion, but judging from this blood light, it was obviously not an auspicious sign.
Shi Mu looked at the scene in front of him, his expression changed slightly.
This blood-colored light was filled with an extremely rich aura of death, extremely cold.
This kind of aura, he will never admit it, it is a breath unique to the necromantic interface.
"Isn't it ......"
What came to the mind of the assassin Shi Mu was Liu An's figure.
Seeing this vision, the guards outside the four exits of the Baoguang Pavilion and the disciples of the Tongtian Immortal Sect all changed their expressions drastically.
At the east exit, a young guard was about to rush into the venue, but was stopped by a middle-aged guard beside him.
"Don't worry, what kind of place is our Baoguang Pavilion, even if something happens inside, there will be someone inside to take care of it properly, we just need to do our part and guard the exit." The middle-aged guard said.
As a result, as soon as the middle-aged guard's voice fell, a huge sky-breaking roar suddenly sounded in his ears, and then his whole body flew backwards.
A thick, sharp bone spear pierced the middle-aged guard's chest, nailing its body to the wall of the exit. (To be continued.) )
