Volume 1 Spring Blossoms Chapter 13 Invincible Grievances in the Moonlight
Li Changan and the two went straight to the stable after leaving Caiyun Pavilion, and there were many people in the city, in order to avoid extraneous branches, the two planned to leave for Heishui City immediately.
When he was about to reach the city gate, Xuan Su suddenly stopped, pulled Li Changan's sleeve, turned his head and left, and immediately turned around and went in when he saw a restaurant. Although Li Changan was puzzled, he didn't ask out loud, and quickly followed up to the second floor.
The two found a spot upstairs where they could see the side of the street, Li Changan sat down, but Xuan Su stood sideways by the window and looked out. Li Changan felt a little funny when he saw Xuan Su so flustered for the first time, ordered a few dishes with Xiao Er, and drank tea alone.
Xuan Su probably didn't see the person just now, so he leaned out of the window, stretched his neck and turned around, but he still didn't find the person just now, so he reflexively sat down.
Li Changan smiled secretly, held the teacup, blew the tea that was no longer hot, and said to Xuan Su: "Brother Xuan, why is your heart less quiet than the tea in my hand, have you seen some enemy?
Xuan Su smiled bitterly: "What enemies can there be in the poor Dao, and how can it be someone who takes other people's things and doesn't return them, it's just that that person has some relationship with me just now, I really don't want to see her, wait for you and me to hurry out of the city, I'm afraid that this time she is also coming to this cave, there may be some variables, Brother Zhou, it may drag you down." β
After Li Changan heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, Brother Xuan's family actually has a relationship with a woman, isn't it an emotional debt?
Xuan Su was slightly surprised, he never thought that Li Changan would suddenly guess which person he was hiding, and then sighed and said: "Ashamed! Ashamed! Brother Zhou's ability to know people is really good, he is indeed a woman, although Poor Dao has never provoked her, but after all, he is ashamed in his heart." β
After hearing this, Li Changan's curiosity became even heavier, and he looked at Xuan Su and said: "This is strange, Brother Xuan has never provoked her, but he is ashamed, didn't she say that she provoked Brother Xuan, but Brother Xuan was unwilling and did not agree?"
Xuan Su blushed and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou, don't talk nonsense, Poor Dao is definitely not what it means, it is never!"
Li Changan asked playfully, "What does that mean?"
Xuan Su saw that Li Changan was determined to know, and he didn't do anything unseemly, after getting along for such a long time, he had already regarded Li Changan as a friend, and when he thought that he might also drag down Brother Zhou because of this matter, he said frankly: "Actually, I haven't seen her for thirteen years, if it weren't for the jade pendant she carried, I wouldn't have recognized her." β
At this time, Xuan Su also took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, Li Changan took a closer look, and had already guessed a rough idea in his heart.
Xuan Su continued: "Our two families are world friends, I am three years older than her, after she was born, my parents set this family affair, until I was ten years old, I met the master, and followed the master to the mountain to cultivate, and this marriage was not discussed. Later, I heard that she also went up the mountain to practice, it seems to be an ethereal sect, I never thought that we would meet here, hey"
Li Changan stared at Xuan Su's face and said, "If I'm not mistaken, she's your fiancΓ©e, right? That's it? It's nothing? You ran up the mountain to become a monk, what should you do with the girl? No wonder you are hiding from others, so that she can recognize you and not dismantle you." β
Xuan Su smiled bitterly and said, "No, no, of course I can't count the things I did when I was a child, and I have no choice but to be poor." You and I are both people chosen by God, who have taken away the luck of heaven and earth, and we are burdened with the responsibilities of this era, how can we abandon the avenue of heaven and earth because of the words of our parents. β
Li Changan looked at Xuansu with a smile, raised the tea in his hand, pointed at it from afar, drank it all, and said no more.
The remaining half pot of tea was drunk by Xuansu, but the meal did not move, and then another pot, cup after cup, as if he wanted to drink himself with this tea.
After three hours, the tea had been drunk in seven pots, and there was no taste in drinking it again, so the two got up and left.
The two came to the stable, paid the caretaker fee, and led the horse out of the city.
After leaving the city, Xuan Su's hanging heart settled down, and he returned to his previous demeanor of not worrying about or being happy, and the two of them headed west, heading straight to Blackwater City.
A hundred miles west of the city, Li Changan and Xuan Su stood on their horses, only to see Xuan Su's face like ashes.
Li Changan looked at the woman in white clothes riding a white horse in front of him, the white horse was very beautiful, and the woman on the horse was even more beautiful. There is no reason to disturb the good things of the young couple, so he said to Xuan Su: "Brother Xuan, I will wait for you ten miles ahead, take care!" and then drove the Qiji horse to take a step ahead.
When Li Changan's figure disappeared completely, Xuan Su dismounted and walked towards the heroic woman riding a white horse, and did not stop until he was in front of the horse, looked up at the woman on the horse, and said with a smile: "Yin Ruo, after so many years, I almost can't recognize you."
Yin Ruo looked ahead, refusing to look down at the eyes that seemed to have light in the star dome inside, and refused to forgive.
Xuan Su smiled embarrassedly, didn't care at all, and touched the white horse in front of him with his hand, the white horse spit out his tongue and licked Xuan Su's hand, Xuan Su said happily: "Little flower, I haven't seen it for so many years, I can't recognize it, when will I step on the golden autumn?"
I saw that Yin Ruo pulled the reins of the horse on the white horse's head, and the white horse had to raise his head, bow his head and say to Xuan Su: "Xu Su, get away!" Then he turned the horse's head and went west, leaving only Xuan Su, no! The Taoist priest who should be called Xu Su stood in place, ate a mouthful of soil, and smirked.
Li Changan looked at the woman who had just rushed away from him, shook his head with a smile, and continued to wait for Xuansu, who was spitting soil behind.
After a while, Xuan Su rode the Qiji horse to catch up, and he couldn't see what was happening on his face at all, but there were some things that the Qiji horse knew, and when he saw it grinning and leaking big teeth, and kept wagging its tail, he knew how happy it was, and he didn't know what good things he saw.
Subsequently, Li Changan and the two rode their horses to Blackwater City, and the white horse that Yin Ruo rode was the pure-blooded Jade Lion of the Night, and the distance between the two became farther and farther away.
ββ
Seven days later, Chang'an and the two came to Blackwater City. The walls of this Blackwater City are all made of black three-fold adobe bricks, and when there is moonlight at night, Blackwater City is blood-red. And Blackwater City has only two gates, which are divided into the East Gate and the West Gate. To the west of Blackwater City is the Heishui River, and you can see the statue of the Demon Saintess on the city, which is three feet taller than Blackwater City, and to the west of the Blackwater River is the Great Black Mountain.
In fact, it was the statue of the Holy Maiden built by the demon clan first, and sixty years later, the human race and the demon clan jointly built this Blackwater City. As for why the statue of the saint is three feet taller than Blackwater City, it is precisely because of the saying "there are gods in the head", so that the residents of Blackwater City can remember history and know that this peace is not easy to come by.
And what about the Heishui River, which is a hundred zhang wide and thousands of miles long, the river is turbulent and dangerous, it is the natural forest protection river of the Great Black Mountain, and the river water is naturally not black. It is said that in ancient times, the black dragon was punished and imprisoned at the bottom of this big black mountain for three thousand years, and after three thousand years, the black dragon broke free from the shackles and rose to the sky, leaving such a turbulent black water river to the big black mountain.
Li Changan and the two led the Qiji horse from the east gate into the Blackwater City, and entrusted the Qiji horse to the Fu stable at the city gate.
The two of them decided to find a place to live first, and then make plans, this cave has not yet opened, and most of the young monks of the human race are waiting in this Blackwater City.
After looking for a long time, the two found an inn with a vacant room, and there was only one room left, no choice, if you go out to find another inn, maybe this house is gone, there is a place to settle down and try your luck in the big black mountain. However, it is indeed a bit uncomfortable for two men to sleep in the same bed, but fortunately, Xuan Su said that he was a Taoist priest and didn't care about this, just meditate on this ground at night, so he gave the bed to Li Changan. Naturally, Li Changan paid for the room alone, and asked Xuan Su for an extra blanket to spread on the ground.
At noon the next day, the two decided to go to the most famous auction house in Blackwater City to see the excitement, and also meet these young talents by the way.
This time, due to the appearance of the Holy Maiden Cave Heaven, a large number of young monks poured into Black Rock City, which can be divided into three kinds of people, one is chance, two is profit, and three is fame. This third type of people basically wander the streets every day, where there is a lot of excitement, and make the loudest noise, just to have a capital to drink and brag in the future; the second type of people go back and forth between shops, and they go where they go less, for fear of being remembered: and most of the first kind of people will appear in the auction house, each with an extraordinary life and a desire higher than the sky.
This Blackwater City does not have a place like Caiyun Pavilion to buy and sell news, and this auction house is the only place to buy and sell news, and this is also the largest trading place for the people and demons of Nanzhou. Although Xuan Su and his master have been to this big black mountain, they have never entered this black water city, so the two of them also inquired about the location of the auction house, but fortunately, this building is very magnificent and easy to find, and it will be there in a short time.
Xuan Su told Li Chang'an that his master and old man said, "Although the human and demon clans are now living together peacefully, how can such a deep wound not leave scars, and they still repel each other secretly, so the heavy treasures of the two clans will not be traded, and those real heavy treasures are only willing to be sold on the black market by outlaws." β
Li Changan also knew a little about this black market from the memories left by his master, and those who dared to go to the black market to buy and sell were at least monks in the Yuanying Realm, otherwise whether they bought or sold, they might not be able to go back alive.
The two walked into the auction hall, and immediately a waitress stepped forward to pick them up, and after the two paid the entrance fee, one of them took a black gauze hat, which was engraved with a sub-array, plus the mother array of the auction house, and outsiders could not see the true face after wearing it. This is really well thought out, and even better because the auction hall has only one entrance and eight exits, which is why more and more monks are willing to come here to buy and sell. The two followed into a private room, and in the private room, they could only see the auction table in front of them, in which some melons and fruits were placed, and the two waited for the auction to begin.
Since the two didn't know the details, they came a little earlier and waited for more than an hour before the auction started. The first to come up was a graceful middle-aged woman, who was the host of the auction, a fox monk who knew my realm. She knew that the monks were impatient to wait, so she began today's auction with a few polite words.
A Terran maid brought the first auction treasure, only to hear the fox demon say: "This thing is a spear made of meteorite gold that a certain senior put on our place to consign, and the auction starts at 100,000 cloud coins, and the highest price will be obtained." After saying that, he retreated behind the treasure and waited for someone to shout and pat.
In fact, in the process of the maid coming out, everyone had already leaned out of their senses and examined it, so as soon as they finished speaking, they heard someone shouting: "300,000"
Suddenly, there was a "huh" sound, although this spear made of meteorite gold is worth this price, but this kind of shouting is so high as soon as it comes up, and it is the first time that I don't understand the rules of shouting. Listening to the voice, you knew that it was a young man, and it was not difficult to guess that it was the first time to participate in this kind of auction.
Li Changan is also the first time to participate in this kind of auction, and his treasures are enough, and he is not new to this meteorite, but he is relatively new to the auction.
Xuan Su is naturally not interested in the treasures on this stage, what his master passed on to him is the most suitable for himself, and he doesn't need other treasures no matter how good they are, but he is more interested in the person who shouts, and he always feels that he has heard this way of transmitting his voice.
Although 300,000 is a lot, it is not enough to take this treasure, and then someone shouted: "350,000"
The young man who was the first to shout spoke again: "500,000"
Many monks had already followed the sound to find the private room where the young man was, and everyone wanted to know which sect of disciples this was, so bold.
However, the monk who takes a fancy to this treasure doesn't care which sect or sect he is, the one with the highest price gets it, this is the rule! No one knows anyone here, and no matter how big the sect is, it can't break the rules.
As soon as he came up and shouted so high, he just didn't want to waste time, and only a few monks who really wanted this meteorite spear still wanted to bid, and the rest of the monks had similar ideas, since they really wanted it, they just shouted the right price, so someone immediately shouted: "Seven hundred and fifty thousand"
In fact, 750,000 cloud coins are already the approximate value of this meteorite spear, unless there is something special about it.
"A million," the young man spoke again, apparently knowing the heel of the spear.
There couldn't help but sound a commotion in the venue, and even Li Changan raised his spirit to watch this good show.
Many monks began to use their divine senses to check the meteorite spear on the platform again, but most of them didn't see anything, and only a few existents found a clue, and only after deduction did they know the reason, and they couldn't help but take a second look at the young man.
At this moment, another hoarse voice came from the room, it was a modified voice. I just heard him say unhurriedly: "One hundred and ten thousand".
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar, although 10,000 cloud coins was a lot, but compared to the young man shouting 250,000 cloud coins more in one breath, it was really a bit unspeakable, not to mention that he was still an elderly monk.
Even the young monk who had shouted the price before was taken aback, he didn't expect someone to shout like this, but this treasure was about to be decided by himself, so he shouted: "One million and one million"
This time, no one followed the bidding.
In a private room in the northwest corner of the field, an old monk with half of his face burned down smiled evilly and said, "I finally found you."
The golden spear was then brought to the young man's private room.
And Xuan Su finally thought of who that young man was, and secretly sent a voice to Li Changan: "That person just now is Luo Wanxiang of Yueluo Shujin Villa. β
Li Changan also felt incredible, was Yue Luo Shu Jinshan Villa so rich?
ββ
This auction house only auctions seven treasures a day, this rule has not changed since the first day of opening, because the first treasure was auctioned at a sky-high price, Li Changan began to look forward to what treasures will be auctioned later.
Four more treasures were launched one after another, but none of them exceeded the previous price.
However, these treasures were not attractive to Li Changan and the two, and Li Changan asked Xiang Xuansu in wonder: "Why is the auction item behind this not as good as the first treasure?"
Xuan Su replied with a smile: "Then the first one is the opening thing, naturally it must be very good, even if it is from the Tianze Auction House in the South Inner Continent, every treasure cannot be similar to this meteorite, but the final treasure must be more precious than the first one, if you are lucky, the next one will not be too bad." β
Li Changan nodded, and expressed his admiration for the person who came up with this auction method.
Then, a demon maid came to the stage, but her hands were empty.
After Li Changan swept it with his divine sense, he couldn't help but smile, it was really wonderful, this time the thing he photographed was the hairpin on the woman's head. Then he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at Xuansu.
And Xuan Su stared at the hairpin on the woman's head, until the fox demon said that the auction had begun, and turned his head to Li Changan and said shyly: "Brother Zhou, this hairpin is made by Su Zimu, and my real name is Xu Su, this hairpin is too deep with my fate, and the cloud coins I brought down the mountain this time may not be enough, if it is not enough, I don't know if you can lend me a little, I will send someone to send it when I go back." My home is the inner continent of Middle-earth......"
Li Changan didn't wait for Xuan Su to finish speaking, then interrupted: "I don't care if your name is Xuan Su or Xu Su, I don't care who you are, you can return it to me, you are my first friend, you can use it if you need it, does this kind of vulgar thing outside the body make you so embarrassed?" Then he waved his hand and put a bag of cloud coins on the table, a whole one million.
Li Changan's move can be regarded as exposing that he has a treasure similar to a space bag, but Li Changan himself also believes in fate, and he believes in his own vision of people.
Xuan Su saw this, how could he not be moved, but men did not need to express their feelings in words, and they arched their hands to Li Changan, which was regarded as a thank you. Then he cast a spell and took out a bag of cloud coins from his Dao crown, forty-nine pieces. And that crown is obviously also a space magic weapon, but I don't know the size.
How could a sect that could teach a monk like Xuansu not have a monk who had reached the Heavenly Realm.
ββ
This wooden hairpin is indeed a treasure, which can calm the mind and calm the soul, and after a while, it shouted 700,000.
And Li Changan saw this, since Xuan Su wanted to, he also shouted to play, so he cast a spell to cover up his voice and shouted: "800,000"
A retouched woman's voice came from the stage: "Nine hundred thousand"
Li Changan glanced at Xuan Su and signaled that he didn't want to shout.
Before Xuan Su could speak, another woman's voice came: "One million and two million"
The woman's voice came from the previous one another: "One and a half million"
Not only were the monks in the other private rooms who were watching shocked, but even the host fox demon on the stage took a deep breath.
And Li Changan glanced at Xuan Su, and wanted to take the cloud coin from his arms again.
Hyun Su shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can hear who she is"
Li Changan had no choice but to smile bitterly and was speechless.
ββ
In the private room where the hairpin was finally won, there were two jade-looking women, one of whom was Yin Ruo.
In the other private room, another woman was sitting, with a smile on her face, muttering, "Li Changan? "The beauty is famous, for the clouds.
