Chapter 33: Into the Secret City
Think about it since I became a monk, I haven't had much contact with immortal cultivators, and I still have to get in touch with it more in the future, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, if I don't experience it, how can I integrate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After thinking about it, he made up his mind, and after all the meals were finished, he began to follow Shi Ming to Mi City.
When he arrived at the front of a courtyard, Shi Ming said.
Then he took Hongwu and Shi Cong into the house, and the Zhuangzi stood at the entrance of two guards, but they were released after Shi Ming handed over a jade plate.
Hong Wu followed Shi Ming to take a look and found that the courtyard was empty and there was nothing.
followed Shi Ming into the main hall again, and found that there were only a few chairs inside, and there was still nothing else, only to see a middle-aged man sitting in the middle, silent, closing his eyes and recuperating.
When I saw someone coming in, I didn't say anything, and I didn't pay attention to it.
After Shi Ming handed over the jade plate that he had used to enter and exit at the door, the man led Hong Wu and the others from the side to the back hall, silent all the way, and fought with Shi Congyou.
Hong Wu didn't dare to speak, so he had to follow honestly, and after turning to the back hall, Hong Wu looked at it, but it was still empty and nothing, and he had to sigh, this is not a resident at all, not even a piece of furniture or anything, and a clear-eyed person will know it at a glance.
I saw that the middle-aged man led Hong Wu and the others to a wall, and directly reached out and pressed it beside him, and the wall opened out like a portal.
There was a black hole inside, and he couldn't see anything, but Shi Ming walked in directly, and Hong Wu had to follow.
saw that the middle-aged man did not follow, but Shi Ming was not surprised, and Hong Wu had to follow silently.
After all three of them had entered the passage, the wall-like portal was closed, presumably closed by the middle-aged man outside.
It's dark all the way, fortunately, Hong Wu has seen it with Qingling grass before, and he can always see some outlines, and Shi Ming and Shi Cong are only afraid that they are more powerful than Hong Wu, at least now the two of them are striding forward, but I am afraid that they can still see it.
There was a portal in the middle, and there was a man standing next to him, and the man was silent, and when the three of them walked to him, they were fenced down, and after Shi Ming handed over some silver taels, the man gave the three of them three hoods.
Everything was done in silence, which seemed really weird, but Shi Ming and the others didn't say anything, presumably this is also a very normal phenomenon, but Hong Wu is rare and weird.
Hong Wu saw that Shi Mingshi directly brought the headgear up, so he also put on the headgear in the same way.
Then the door opened, and the three of them went straight in.
After entering, Hongwu took a look, and saw that there were many seats here, and now there are a lot of people seated, and there are many portals next to it, but I am afraid that these people are coming from all directions.
No one knows anyone with masks here, and it's gathered from all directions, so it's very safe.
Hong Wu tried his divine sense, and found that he was also restricted, and he could only stay close to his body, and if he wanted to probe other people's faces through the mask, it would definitely be impossible.
Hong Wu looked at the design here so carefully, and felt that this secret city was also quite safe, and he had some doubts in his heart, this secret city was so designed, it must take a lot of effort, and if he didn't take a profit, he wouldn't lose money.
However, seeing that there were so many people, but no one spoke, Hongwu didn't dare to speak, so he had to suppress his doubts in his heart.
The three of them found a seat and began to wait.
After a long time, when the seats in this space were almost full, there was finally a shock in all directions, and a burst of light flashed around the space, and many portals next to it disappeared.
Then the whole space lit up, and I saw that there was a high platform in front of it, and the seats below were fan-shaped around the high platform, and now there was an old man standing on the high platform.
I saw that the old man cleared his throat, and began to say, "Thank you for coming to cheer, I won't say anything about the old man, basically they are all Taoist friends who come often, but there are also some Taoist friends who have joined in, so I will reiterate the rules." ”
I'm afraid that every time it's this kind of opening statement, everyone below listened quietly to what the old man said.
"No fighting, no threats, items, the highest price wins, hold an auction first, after which each Taoist friend comes to the stage once, you can ask for shopping goods, barter, or auction, and those who don't plan to go on stage will continue to the next one."
"If the barter is successful, the value will be converted according to the rules, and one percent will be drawn, and those who plan to leave first can be greeted, pay some price, and leave by the secret passage, and the remaining Taoist friends cannot leave within this quarter of an hour."
It's really considerate, some people get good things, they must want to leave quickly, and they smoke a lot every time, and after the person who left first leaves, the rest of the time and a half will not be able to leave, and if you want to follow the sheep, it will naturally not be able to succeed.
I have a mask myself, I can't see who it is, and after someone else goes out, I drill into the crowd, and who knows who it is.
"Alright, now auction the first item, Flowing Sands." As he spoke, the old man held a tray and displayed it, only to see that there was something like golden sand.
Hongwu didn't have the money to buy it, and he didn't know it, so he could only look at it and have some knowledge.
"Flowing Jinsha is a good material for refining magic weapons, the material is not too good, but the juniors in the Qi training period are just right to use."
As he spoke, he put away the tray on display and put it on the table in front of him and said, "Flowing golden sand, seven taels, a low price of one thousand taels of silver, and the auction will start below." ”
The low price of 1,000 taels, Hong Wu originally had some silver taels on him, but now he has spent almost it, so he can only watch dryly.
This is the following chaotic start to bid, Shi Ming next to him whispered to Hong Wu, "Liujinsha can only be regarded as the lowest level of materials, not worth much, generally just some loose cultivation and the like." ”
Hong Wu nodded, but this was Shi Ming letting himself know.
Sure enough, the stream of golden sands finally auctioned 3,000 taels, and no one bid again.
After the hammer was finalized, the man came to the stage and took the golden sand, paid the money, and turned around and sat back in his place.
The auction continues to begin.
Then there are some herbal ingredients and the like.
Basically, Shi Ming would talk to Hong Wu about everything, which also made Hong Wu gain a lot of knowledge, but they were all low-grade materials and herbs, and they didn't fetch much price.
It's just that the magic weapon in the middle was taken away by someone for 8,000 taels, and the rest is basically more than 3,000 taels.
Shi Ming has never made a move, and there are a few magic weapons in the middle, but Shi Ming is indifferent.
When it was nearing the end, there was a book of foundation-building exercises, which caused many people to chase after him, Shi Ming said with disdain, "They are all some loose cultivation or declining families or sects, their own exercises have broken the inheritance, and they are helpless, how good can the exercises that can be auctioned be, and the original owner of the exercises must have left attachments, and the auctioneer will also check it when auctioning, there are many people who know a practice, and it is easy for your exercises to leak when the fisherman fights, However, a single exercise can exert different powers in the hands of different people. ”
Hong Wu thought so, he didn't have the foundation building exercises, those people must be helpless, if he reached the peak of qi training, if there were no exercises, then as long as there were no exercises, no matter what the exercises were, they also practiced the foundation first.
I saw that the foundation building exercise was shouted to a high price of more than 30,000 taels after a while, presumably some people don't have so much cash in their hands, otherwise they will definitely be afraid of more, and some people are afraid that they will be bankrupt and have to take it.
In the end, when the auction was 74,000 taels, there was finally no one to increase the price, and Hong Wu had to sigh that he was really poor, and the cultivator was really rich.
The man auctioned the exercises, took them and left, and went out through the secret passage, and there were many people who had bad eyes, but because of the rules, no one could go out at this quarter of an hour, so they had to continue to start the auction.
"The last auction item is a defensive magic weapon." As the old man spoke, he showed a turtle shell like a shield, and then poured mana, only to see a flash of light, and the turtle shell emitted a ripple like a shield to protect the old man's entire inside.
"The Xuanwu Shield, refined by the refining master of the famous Refining Sect Treasure Sect, will use all its strength to defend against the foundation building period in the later stage of Qi training."
After the old man finished speaking, the following began to make a fuss, this thing must still be on the eyes of many people, after all, maybe you can save your life at a critical moment, and you won't change a life.
The exercises in the foundation building period, those disciples of the sect, the disciples of the big family, I am afraid that they may not be able to see it, but some small families of scattered cultivation are shooting, and now that this Xuanwu shield is out, I am afraid that the disciples of those major sects and the disciples of the big family will start to compete, and it is estimated that ordinary people don't think about it.
"This thing is good, very useful, but in the early stage of Qi training, it is difficult to exert the power it should have, but it can still resist the late stage of Qi training." Shi Ming shook his head and sighed while explaining to Hongwu, "I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot it, that person just told me that it was a secret city spontaneously organized by the predecessors of the foundation building period, pit, this is obviously prepared by the big family, a large secret market." ”
Hong Wu originally felt that something was wrong, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed the case, only to hear Shi Ming next to him say again, "Yes, I think I don't have enough experience in Kyushu, that person said that it was Mi City, but I didn't understand it, I think that the small exchange meetings that are generally organized spontaneously are called exchange meetings, and those called Mi City must be of some scale." ”
Hong Wu was puzzled when he heard it, "Then why don't you make it clear to you directly?" ”
This time, it was the Shi Cong next to him who replied, "Scruples." ”
Hong Wu was stunned, not because of the answer, but because Shi Cong was stunned when he spoke, but because Shi Cong was really limited when he spoke.
