Chapter 151: The Closing Ceremony (Chapter 2 in One)
After the director's question, it is the auction, and this auction is also the most lively part of the annual cultivator exchange meeting, because at this time, many wealthy businessmen will buy some magic talismans to ward off evil spirits and defend themselves, and the main buyers of the annual auction are these wealthy businessmen. Instead, cultivators have become a minority.
For these wealthy businessmen, as long as it is from the hands of cultivators, whether it is a magic weapon or a talisman, they will be interested, so this also causes this cultivator auction to have no miracle of unsold auction in the past thirty years.
Looking at the local tyrants in the audience who were red-eyed and calling for price increases, Chi Shang Zhenyi couldn't help but smack his lips at this, he felt that these people in the audience were all 'Fan Chefs', all of them had big heads and thick necks, and they were all easy to fool, just now he saw a blessed peach wood bracelet, which was actually sold for 20,000 yen.
That thing is said to be able to ward off evil spirits, but in Chi Shang's sincere eyes, the bracelet is estimated to be intimidating even the newborn ghosts, because the bracelet he feels that at most it is a few pillars of incense enshrined, and it can be raised a few times, as long as this kind of thing has a little strength of the ghost thing can be ignored, the effect of the ghost defense is almost nothing, but in this way, there are still many people scrambling.
For these rich businessmen who are obviously stupid and have a lot of money, of course Chi Shang's sincerity is also tempted, there is no reason why others can earn money, he can't earn it, if he doesn't seize such a good opportunity, I'm really sorry for himself.
It was precisely because he saw that the money was so easy to make that Ji Shang really took out three talismans that he usually made in his spare time at the end of the auction.
One for each of the first, second and third grades, all of which were ghost suppression talismans, and these talismans were auctioned at a price that Chi Shang Zhenyi never dreamed of, a full three million yen, which made the price even he didn't expect.
According to Chi Shang's sincere thoughts, it would be good if these three talismans could be auctioned for hundreds of thousands of yen, but he didn't expect that when he took out the talismans, those wealthy businessmen all competed with red eyes, and they all desperately bid for the talismans that he took out, and all of them enthusiastically pursued the talismans that he took out as a director.
The enthusiasm of everyone surprised Chi Shang Zhenyi, and he was even wondering if he was taking out one or two talismans to auction, but then he gave up after thinking about it, after all, it is not good to have too many things, and he is not really short of money.
In the end, the auction ended with the three talismans of Chi Shang Zhenyi, and after the closing ceremony tomorrow, this year's cultivator exchange meeting will also end.
After the auction ended, Chi Shang Zhenyi returned to the small courtyard with Kojima Masa and Koi Tetsu, waiting for tomorrow's closing ceremony, and at the same time, he was also preparing to make a move on that Qiuhe Longtai tomorrow to get rid of the other party.
In the past few days, when Chi Shang was really worried about the exchange meeting, he also asked Kojima Masashi and Koi Tetsu to go out and carefully inquire about the human trafficking information he had received in the mind of the old woman of the meat shop.
It's not that Ji Shangzhen wants to be nosy, but he feels that this matter should be related to the Qiu He family, after all, since he entered this Saitama Prefecture, all the bad things he has encountered are related to that family.
"My lord, what you asked us to inquire about, Xiaojing-kun and I have already asked, the two of us have been carefully listening in the past few days, and with some money, we have heard some useful news from a local villager. β
According to the villager who was asked by his subordinates, there is indeed a group of people in this Great Smoky Mountain, who come to their market town every two months to do some human trafficking, and each time they bring in children and women. β
"The villager and his subordinates said that they had also called the police before, but no one took care of the matter, and the villagers who called the police all disappeared afterwards, and the villager said that they suspected that those people killed them. β
Speaking of this, Kojima stopped, not only to breathe a sigh of relief, but also to let Koi Tetsuya show his face, after all, he can't always show his face alone in front of adults, that will cause hatred from his companions, and he still understands this very well.
Xiao Jing Zhe on the side saw that Xiao Dao was stopping, and immediately continued: "And the villager also said that they had found someone to deal with those people, but it was useless at all, according to the villager Those people who trafficked in human beings were all good at some crooked tricks, anyway, it was not for ordinary people to deal with at all, more than a hundred people went up, and they were knocked to the ground by a dozen people on the other side." β
"After that deterrence, the villagers told us that no one wanted to come forward anymore, and they promised to give every household in the market town a support fee of five yen a month, that is, hush money. β
"With this money, no one came out to say anything, because there was money to be made, and some villagers still helped to hide it, which is also the reason why this population market can be hidden all the time, just like the compound where the adults participated in the exchange meeting this time, it is said to be a place for people to change. β
Chi Shang really listened to the information brought back by the two subordinates, thought for a while and said, "Since according to what the villager said, the villagers all helped cover up, why did he explain it to you so clearly, is there any problem?"
Hearing his own adult's question, Koi Tetsu immediately answered: "My lord, my subordinates and Kojima-kun were also suspicious, but the villager said that one of the first people who went to the police and disappeared later was his cousin, and it was precisely because his cousin disappeared that he said this to his subordinates, and the subordinates who said these things were also secretly investigated, and they were indeed true." β
"In this way, this news is somewhat credible, and it seems that the gang of traffickers is relatively smart and knows the reason why rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest. β
Speaking of this, Chi Shang Zhenyi glanced at the two subordinates, and then continued to speak: "It's not bad that the two of you can ask these things in such a few days, although the information is not very complete, but I am already very satisfied, after all, this kind of thing has not been done by the two of you before, and it is good." β
Hearing the praise of their own adults, Kojima and Koi Tetsu immediately bowed their heads and said, "Subordinates don't dare to get praise from adults, this is what subordinates should do." β
"This is not a compliment, this is seeking truth from facts, okay, don't talk about this, tell sΓΉ you, tomorrow I am going to launch a revenge challenge against the head of the Qiuhe family, Qiuhe Longtai, at the closing ceremony of the exchange meeting, and strive to get rid of the other party at this suitable opportunity, after all, the other party is already on the same page as our Chi Shang family, and on the way here, we also killed the other party's second grandson Qiuhe Dashu, such a grudge is already unsolvable, so it is best to completely eliminate the danger. β
"And the task of the two of you is to keep an eye on the Qiuhe gale, don't let the other party take advantage of the opportunity to slip away, and you can shoot directly when necessary, I don't want such a guy to run away, and hide behind me in the future to make a trick, do you understand?"
After Kojima and Koi Tetsu heard the boring task given by their own adults, they said in unison: "Hey, please rest assured, my subordinates will not let the other party run away." β
Hearing the strong answers of the two subordinates, Chi Shang nodded secretly, he believed that it should not be a problem for Kojima and Koi Tetsu to win that Qiuhe Gale, with the other party's cultivation of less than two grades, it was more than enough for the two of them to deal with it.
"Let's go down"
"Hi"
After arranging the matter, Chi Shang Zhenyi let Kojima and Koi Zhe go down, he has to take a good rest now, in case he can deal with Qiuhe Longtai with enough energy tomorrow, he doesn't dare to be careless about that old guy, that old guy doesn't feel like a simple person to him.
Dealing with Qiuhe Longtai, Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't dare to relax at all, because this was the most powerful enemy he was about to face.
According to the previous expressions of Qiuhe Gale and the dead Qiuhe Dashu, Chi Shang Zhenyi can be sure that this Qiuhe family master, Qiuhe Longtai must also be a cultivator who cultivates evil arts, and he should have quite a deep attainment, after all, there is no reason for both grandsons to cultivate, he, the family master, does not practice, and he can also feel the faint evil aura from the other party, although the other party hides it well.
"I don't know if those old monks will stop it tomorrow, if these old monks stop it, it's really hard for me to do it, forget it, let's talk about it then, I hope it can go smoothly, after all, it's really uncomfortable to keep such a wolf staring at me in the dark. β
On the day of the closing ceremony on February 15th, the weather was particularly good, with clear skies and warm suns, making the winter of February no longer so cold, and the sun sprinkled on the snow on the roadside, reflecting a dazzling white light, which let people know that today is a rare winter day.
Seeing that the cultivators in the venue were almost here, and the time was almost nine o'clock, as the host of the closing ceremony, Dao Ming nodded slightly around, and stepped forward to say to the cultivators in the venue: "The cultivator exchange meeting, which lasted for a total of nine days, will end today. β
"On behalf of the Council, I would like to thank the cultivators who came to participate, and in this situation where the cultivation environment is getting worse and worse, we cultivators should communicate more with each other, because only in this way will our Japanese cultivation community not decline. β
"In this exchange meeting, Lao Ke saw a lot of rising stars in the cultivation world, and these people performed very well, which made Lao Gu see the hope of the younger generation of cultivators and the continuation of our Japanese cultivation community. β
"You people are the spine of our Great Japanese Empire's cultivation world, and we can continue to develop by relying on you, so I hope that all the cultivators present will work hard. β
"Okay, let's talk about this, Lao Ke won't say much, I just hope that all of you present next year can continue to participate in the exchange meeting to support this cultivator, and now Lao Gao announces that the exchange meeting is officially ......."
"Daoming presiding officer, please wait, I have something to say below, and I ...... below. β
Before Dao Ming finished speaking, Qiu He Longtai on the side suddenly interjected and interrupted the words, which made Dao Ming's face not very good, after all, being truncated on such a solemn occasion was a shameful thing for time, and the other party was still Qiu He Longtai, which made Dao Ming wonder if the other party wanted to lose face here because of the fact that he cheated him last time.
As soon as Qiu He Longtai's words fell, Dao Ming opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what important things the head of the Qiu He family has, I have to talk about it now, and I will also interrupt the words of the old man, could it be that the head of the Qiu He family is deliberately sabotaging this cultivator's exchange meeting, if this is the case, then the old man will have to talk to the head of the Qiu He family." β
Qiuhe Longtai, who had just opened his mouth to stop Daoming, continued to speak, but before he could say anything next, he was preemptively questioned by Daoming, and he also buttoned off the big hat that destroyed the exchange meeting, which made him secretly hate Daoming even more in his heart.
For the true right of the old monk Daoming, Qiuhe Longtai has no way at all, although he is very aggrieved by being detained, but he really doesn't dare to bear the big hat that destroys the cultivators' exchange meeting, thinking that he knows what the end will be like, all the cultivators who have been detained this hat before, whether they have a family or a strong lone cultivator, none of these people will end well.
Qiuhe Longtai didn't believe that his Qiuhe family could confront the entire council, so he immediately explained: "Daoming's words are too heavy, how can I sabotage the exchange meeting, I just cut off the words of Daoming's chairmanship, and it is completely according to the rules of the exchange meeting." β
When Dao Ming heard Qiuhe Longtai say this, an idea immediately popped up in his heart, and he had already roughly thought of what the other party was going to say next.
Speaking of this, Qiuhe Longtai paused for a moment, and waited for him to attract the attention of everyone in the venue before he continued to speak: "According to the rules of the exchange meeting that I know, on the day of the closing ceremony of the exchange meeting, during the period before the official closing of the council, all those who want revenge can challenge the enemy with revenge, and all the cultivators present will be used as a fair witness, this is the rule set when this exchange meeting was founded, and the Daoming host doesn't know if what he said is right or not?"
What Dao Ming thought of just now was a revenge challenge, and now after he heard Qiu He Longtai speak, he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart, but he didn't know who the other party wanted to launch this revenge challenge to.
According to the rules of the cultivator exchange meeting that Daoming understands, although a revenge challenge can be launched on the day of the closing ceremony, it is generally only possible with a blood feud, that is, if the two parties have a life and death grudge, if for no reason, just want to kill someone, then the revenge challenge will never be passed.
"What the head of the Qiu He family said is right, this cultivator exchange meeting did have such a rule when it was first established, and to this day, there have been sixteen people who have launched revenge challenges, but each of these people is a person who has a blood feud with the challenged. β
"I don't know which cultivator you want to challenge the Qiu He family master, what grudge the other party has with you, if there is no blood feud, then please Su Lao Wei can't agree to your application, and you must also be held accountable for disrupting the closing ceremony. β
Speaking of this, Daoming stared at Qiuhe Longtai, obviously waiting for the other party's answer, if there was something inappropriate, then he would have something to say.
Regarding the attitude of the old monk Daoming who was obviously looking for trouble, Qiu He Longtai could only secretly hate in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, because their Qiu He family was not a level of existence at all compared to the other party's Hongan Temple, if the other party wanted to attack their Qiu He family with all his might, then their family would soon weaken.
Because there are still two temples in Saitama Prefecture that are eyeing their family, Qiuhe Takatai doesn't believe that when he is hit, those two old monks will not make a move, so he can only choose to be patient with Daoming.
"Dao Ming presided over and laughed, although our Qiuhe family has only inherited it for more than three hundred years, but it is really clear about the matter of this exchange meeting, naturally the rules in this exchange meeting, of course I and the other party have a blood feud, otherwise I would not have raised a revenge challenge here. β
Hearing Qiuhe Longtai's words, Daoming was disappointed in his heart, and the other party was obviously prepared.
"In this case, then the old man will ask the head of the Qiu He family, which one of you are going to challenge present, according to the rules of the revenge challenge, if the one you want to challenge, if the cultivation is a big level lower than you, it can only be postponed to a year later. β
"This point is natural for me, and Daoming presides rest assured that the other party's cultivation is the same as himself. β
Hearing Qiuhe Longtai's words, Dao Ming became interested for a while, after all, the life-and-death battle between the three rank cultivators is rare.
At that moment, Daoming opened his mouth and asked: "Oh, the other party is also a three-grade cultivator, that's really rare, I just don't know which one, if he is not present, if he is not present, then the old man can only go back and order someone to find it, if the other party dodges, the old man can also issue a cultivator chase and kill order, of course, the cost of chasing and killing still needs to be paid by the head of the Qiu He family himself, please tell the identity of the other party to the head of the Qiu He family." β
"The other party is here at the scene, don't bother Daoming to preside. β
Hearing this, even Nian Duan suddenly interjected and asked: "It's at the scene, I don't know who it is, from the perspective of the old man at the scene, counting the head of the Qiu He family himself, there should be five people who have reached the third grade of cultivation, I don't know which of the Qiu He family masters wants to launch a revenge challenge against us." β
Speaking of this, Nianduan's tone was already stiff, because according to his thoughts, Qiuhe Longtai should be going to challenge him with revenge.
Because Nian Duan remembered his Zhengfa Temple, he killed a member of the Qiuhe family in June last year, and afterwards he learned about it and found that the other party should be Qiuhe Longtai's nephew, for this matter Qiuhe family did not make a lot of trouble with their Zhengfa Temple, and finally almost made a fight, but fortunately, the wisdom of Kitain came to help, which made the Qiuhe family stop this matter.
Officially thought that this was going to happen, so he suspected that Qiu He Longtai was going to challenge him with revenge, which made him secretly angry, and the energy in his body was already running slowly, just waiting for a while to fight desperately.
It's just that what Nian Duan didn't expect was that it was not him who Qiuhe Longtai wanted to take revenge on, but an unexpected person.
"I want to launch a revenge challenge against the director of the exchange meeting, the head of the Chi Shang family, Chi Shang Zhenyi, because the other party killed my second grandson, Qiu He Dashu. (To be continued.) )
