Chapter 6: Night Meeting
Stand in front of the bronze mirror.
Su Changan looked at himself, his body had obviously become extraordinarily strong, and his eyes would inadvertently reveal a fierce meaning, which was self-confidence from the bottom of his heart, calm, calm, and powerful.
Although his body has changed a lot, the clothes of this world tend to be graceful, and after wearing a wide and elegant brocade robe, this change is almost invisible.
And Su Changan is a superior person, and his eyes are sharp, which is also normal.
In short, even if Su Changan has undergone many qualitative changes, it is difficult for outsiders to see that in the eyes of everyone, he is still the rich boy with fine clothes and food.
Su Changan himself had no intention of deliberately hiding the extraordinary power that came inexplicably.
Although he has never practiced martial arts, exposing his power will attract suspicion from many people, especially those who are familiar with him, but as long as he creates some suitable opportunities, he can still fool the past.
The only thing that worries Su Changan is that the outside world is too dangerous.
And then there's ......
The room that was destroyed by the rage needs to be repaired.
......
The Zhao Mansion was reopened.
Zhao Hongyuan really held a feast for three days and three nights, and dignitaries, relatives and friends came one after another, enthusiastically cheering, and causing a sensation in the city.
Su Changan also went to join in the fun, and walked around the Zhao Mansion, especially to the backyard that was burned to ruins.
As a result, no transcendent events were triggered.
It seems that Pang Yifeng really solved the woman in white.
The evil incident in the Zhao Mansion came to an end.
After more than ten days, the wind and waves were calm.
It was really calm.
Su Changan continued to live a corrupt and prosperous life, and he stretched out his hands to eat and open his mouth, so there was no trouble.
It seems that as long as there is no evil haunting, he can always live like this carefree.
The world is actually so unpretentious and boring, for a rich man.
Of course, Su Changan is not idle.
He did three main things:
First, learn martial arts.
Su Changan instructed several nurses to take turns to teach him swordsmanship, creating the illusion that the eldest young master of the Su family was obsessed with martial arts.
Second, look for the full copy of "Thunder Killing Knife Method".
Su Changan has already practiced the first three styles, and the follow-up exercises have not yet been settled.
Originally, he wanted to ask Pang Yifeng to help him buy it, but Pang Yifeng suddenly disappeared, and it was suspected that he had left Yunyang City.
Su Changan had no choice but to instruct the well-informed nursing home at home to inquire about the news on the rivers and lakes, and offer heavy rewards for the exercises, including but not limited to the "Thunder Killing Knife Method".
Third, Su Changan instructed his subordinates to inquire about the news of the extraordinary event.
For example, where there are treacherous cases.
Yunyang City is so big, it is impossible for only Zhao Mansion to inexplicably emerge an evil stranger.
Certainly, there are other evils.
"Extraordinary game, I'm going to keep playing. ”
Su Changan tasted the sweetness of the rewards for clearing the customs, coupled with the fact that the extraordinary game was extremely real, terrifying and exciting, accompanied by a battle of wits and courage, which really made him want to stop.
A few more days passed.
Meng Jiang, the nurse, came to see him.
This person is the guardian that Su Changan ordered to find the exercises, Meng Jiang knelt on one knee and said, "Big young master, the slave lived up to his expectations and heard some useful news. ”
Su Changan shook his spirits, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
Meng Jiang pondered for a few seconds and said, "The slave has a fellow countryman, he is a member of the martial arts sect. According to him, the exercises are the secret of each sect, and those who are not disciples of this sect do not pass them on, and generally do not sell their own exercises.
As for the exercises circulating on the rivers and lakes, most of them come from some lonely martial arts families, or disintegrated sects, and there are evil skills deliberately spread by the demon sect, and so on. ”
Su Changan nodded, the situation was similar to what he expected.
Meng Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Regarding the matter that the eldest young master wants to ask for the purchase of exercises, the fellow of the slave said that the exercises are basically private collections, similar to the antique calligraphy and paintings collected by the rich. Trade fairs or auctions will only be held at certain times and places, and the highest bidder will be awarded. ”
Su Changan was interested: "Have you inquired about the time and place?"
Meng Jiang nodded, and said with a smile: "On the full moon night of the fifteenth day of this month, at the right time, eighty miles outside Yunyang City, there will be an auction in Luoyanpo. ”
On the fifteenth day of this month, there are six days left.
It is from 11 o'clock in the middle of the night to 1 o'clock in the morning, late at night!
"You did a good job, reward ten taels of silver. Su Changan waved his hand.
"Thank you for the reward, the minion retired. Meng Jiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the reward, nodded and left.
So, in the blink of an eye, it was six days later.
A carriage left Yunyang City, followed by ten guards in front of the car, along the official road all the way north, then turned into a barren mountain path, continued to drive east for several miles, and came to the bottom of the Luoyan Slope.
It's nearly ten o'clock in the evening.
At the foot of the wild goose slope, there are many figures gathered, some are alone, and some are in groups.
Most of them carried swords and wore cloaks that covered their entire heads, or they were directly masked, but of course some people didn't care about this and didn't cover it at all.
More and more people come to Luoyanpo, or on foot, or on horseback, or by car, all in the woods.
Su Changan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked around and roughly counted two hundred and thirty-nine people, and the number was still increasing.
"I didn't expect so many people to attend the auction. Su Changan sighed, these people may all be martial artists.
Although there were a lot of people, the scene was not lively, on the contrary, it was very quiet, only a few people gathered together to whisper, and the others could keep their distance from each other.
It's approaching midnight.
Everyone walked towards the top of the slope in unison.
Su Changan got down from the carriage, masked his face with a piece of brocade, and slowly followed the crowd, followed by ten nurses, vigilantly scanning the people around him.
Some of them exuded a terrifying aura, like a ferocious tiger, which put a lot of pressure on the ten nurses.
"Relax, you're too nervous. Su Changan chuckled.
Hearing this, hearing Su Changan's calm voice, the mood of the ten nurses eased slightly, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance.
They are all domesticated servants, loyal to their masters, and keep their masters safe in the depths of their minds and in their bones.
When Su Changan came to the top of the slope, he saw a large open space, the full moon hung high, and the silver light poured down, and the shining top of the slope was as if it were day.
In the center of the clearing, there is a tree stump.
The stump is so large that at least three people hug each other, which is equivalent to a small stage.
Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped onto the stump.
Wearing a Yaksha mask and a night suit, this man was of medium stature, coughed dryly, and said in a loud voice: "Friends, without further ado, this night meeting has officially begun. The old rule is that everyone takes turns on stage, displays and introduces what they want to auction, and then quotes a reserve price, and then starts the auction immediately. ”
With that, the man in black left the stump.
"I'll come first. ”
Immediately after, a burly man jumped onto the stump.
This person did not cover his face, his face was full of thick beards, his eyes were shining, he was holding a black leather secret book in his hand, and said with a big grin: "Hehe, I don't need to introduce this "Blue Devil Hand" more, the subtle-level exercises, those who can practice this skill to the great perfection, there is no problem in promoting to the congenital level." The reserve price of the auction is 5,000 taels, and each increase shall not be less than 100 taels. ”
"Blue Devil Hand?" there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Isn't this the ancestral practice of the Yunhe Chengjiang family?"
"I heard that half a month ago, the Jiang family was tragically destroyed, and it is rumored that it was done by Jiang Yang's thief Fan Laohei, could it be that this person is ......"
"The ancestor of the Jiang family is a congenital-level master, relying on the Blue Devil Hand to sweep all directions, and his fame is shocking, but unfortunately his descendants are all waste, and no one can comprehend the mystery of the "Blue Devil Hand", so as to attract the disaster of annihilation. ”
"Guilty of the sin!"
During the discussion, some people were impatient and shouted: "I will pay 5,300 taels!"
"Five thousand five hundred taels!"
"Five thousand six hundred taels!"
......
Prices went all the way up, and the last masked buyer came out on top with 6,600 taels.
However, the bearded man was not satisfied, and said angrily: "Bah, I only sold it for more than 6,000 taels, grandma's, I lost it!"
Another person came to the stage, holding a long knife and said: "This is a treasure knife made of cold iron, I dare not say that the iron is sharpened like clay, but it is also extremely sharp, and the blade is quenched with severe poison, and if you hurt people, you will die." The reserve price is 1,000 taels, and each increase shall not be less than 100 taels. ”
This time, the enthusiasm of the crowd plummeted, and only two or three people bid, and the results were soon obtained, and the buyer won the bid with 1,400 taels.
The third person came to the stage, dressed in a green shirt and a cloak to cover his face, and his auction item was Gongfa, which was the "Thunder Killing Knife Method" that Su Changan wanted to buy.
"The mastery of the Northern Sword King, presumably everyone is no stranger, this is an innate level exercise, practiced to the peak, can allow a martial artist to be promoted to the pillar level. The reserve price is 8,000 taels, and each increase shall not be less than 200 taels. The man in the green shirt said proudly.
I want to buy it! Su Changan has already prepared a posture for hand-to-hand combat, and he will not hesitate to hemorrhage.
It's just, what a thought!
Who is bidding...... There wasn't one!
There was an eerie silence at the scene.
"Is there anyone bidding? This is a peerless sword technique from the Heavenly Sword Sect. Standing on the stump, the man in green shirt was inexplicably embarrassed, and shouted a few times, but no one responded.
Su Changan was also speechless, and muttered, "Could it be that this knife technique is rubbish?"
The Northern Sword King's mastery is not enough!
When he thought of this, a sneer sounded in the crowd: "Come down, no one will buy the Thunder Killing Knife Method." Do you think everyone is a fool? A while ago, the Northern Sword King announced to the world that this sword technique was his own unique mastery, and only his disciples could practice it, and no one else was allowed to touch it. Do you want us to offend the Northern Sword King? I advise you to destroy the exercises yourself, so as not to get into trouble. ”
The man in the green shirt stiffened, sighed in frustration, and went down the stump, through the crowd, and towards the periphery.
Su Changan was stunned, it turned out that this was the case, the Northern Sword King didn't want others to practice.
Rely on, if you don't let you practice, you won't practice?
It's so domineering!
"This Northern Sword King is quite cautious. Su Changan groaned slightly, quietly left the crowd, and caught up with the green-shirted man who was going downhill.
"Friend, wait. ”
The man in green shirt turned around, immediately held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and said warily: "You, something?"
Su Changan lowered his voice: "I want to buy the "Thunder Killing Knife Method" in your hand. ”
"Really?" the Tsing shirt man was overjoyed, "Brother Tai seems to be a bold and fearless person, so I admire him!
Su Changan returned the price: "Three thousand taels." ”
"What, you ......"
"You should know that this exercise in your hand is a hot potato, and if you can sell it for a thousand taels, you will get a bargain. ”
The man in the green shirt hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "Deal." ”
