The next day, Wang Mu and his party came to the Iron Mountain City Auction House, but they were stopped just about to enter.

"Where's your invitation?" The gatekeeper asked.

"Do I need an invitation to attend an auction?" Wang Mu was very strange, "Could it be that only members can enter?" ”

The warrior guarding the gate frowned and said, "What member?" It's a mess, and if you don't have an invitation, you're just a casual cultivator. The auction is not open to casual cultivators, so you have to leave as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, don't you think this auction needs to be bought by individual people?

Wang Mu said with a smile: "It's me who waited for the abruptness and said goodbye." ”

Pulling the confused crowd to leave first, Wang Mu stopped a warrior at the intersection of the street and asked, "Which warrior is Your Excellency?" ”

The warrior glanced at Wang Mu and said, "I am from the Shadow Sword Sect, which force are you from?" ”

Wang Mu's eyes rolled and he thought about it.

"I am the young master of Fuhumen." He said.

"Fuhumen? I seem to be a little impressed..."

In fact, the warrior thought about it for a long time and didn't remember which force this was, but he didn't look up and looked down, he was all mixed on the road, so he couldn't slap his face and say that he hadn't heard of it, "Why do you have so many people to 'pay tribute', how much do you plan to give this time?" ”

"I don't know, my father prepared one for me, tell me to give it to the auction house." lied, Wang Mu didn't blush at all. The others also pretended to be horses looking at the sky and kept silent.

Hearing this, the martial artist said with a displeased face: "Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, forget it, can you make up a reasonable reason?" ”

Wang Mu smiled and put his arm around the warrior's shoulder, and whispered: "Don't inquire about each other, my invitation is lost, and Brother Lao will take me in?" Trouble with the gatekeeper, alas. ”

The warrior snorted and did not say anything. Seeing this, Wang Mu pretended to be in pain, took out an ordinary spirit stone that used most of the spiritual energy, and handed it to the martial artist. The warrior's eyes were straight, and he hurriedly said, "Brother is polite, I should make you a friend." ”

After that, he naturally put the spirit stone into the package, and his expression was quite pleasantly surprised.

"Damn, it's still too much." Wang Mu was silent on the surface, but in fact, he was full of regret in his heart.

In this way, the warrior led Wang Mu alone and entered the auction house. The others pretended to return to the inn, and then split up to find out the news.

The gatekeeper saw Wang Mu go and return, and he didn't ask after sneering. Unlike the exterior of the house, the interior of the auction house is old. A pungent smell, apparently no one has cleaned it up for a long time. At this moment, the hall was bustling, and there were about 100 people.

After a while, a middle-aged man stood at the front desk. He didn't make much introduction, took out a broken sword that was about to rust, and shouted weakly: "The price starts at a spirit stone." ”

"One piece."

"Three."

“…”

The broken sword was finally auctioned away by an unknown martial artist at a "sky-high price" of twenty spirit stones.

"Don't even have a scene? Not to mention the auctioneer's low appearance, this broken sword is actually worth twenty spirit stones? Wang Mutou was furious and asked the warriors around him, "Why didn't Your Excellency make a move?" ”

The martial artist looked at Wang Mu contemptuously and whispered, "I see that you are here for the first time, and there should be something that can be used later." We have to pick a good one for our 'tribute', you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't have a family. Let's say okay first, wait for what I like, don't grab it from me! ”

Wang Mulian claimed that it was, and he was slandered in his heart, "What's the situation!" ”

One by one, the defective products were bought by everyone at a very high price, and the buyers all bought only one item, and did not ask for other items after they were bought. In the end, including Wang Mu, only a few people were left who did not make a move.

"I guess there's nothing good about the garbage in the back, so hurry up and pay the difference." The warrior nodded at Wang Mu.

Hearing this, Wang Mu first patted his waist, and then hurriedly said: "My spirit stone has fallen in the inn, can I go back and make up for it?" ”

The warrior shook his head in disappointment: "Then your father can only buy two pieces next year, you kid is really a cheat!" ”

From the eyes of the warriors, Wang Mu saw a feeling of looking at a dead person.

"It seems that this mistake may shake the foundation of the small forces, how much is this Iron Mountain City dark!" Wang Mu was very depressed on the surface, but in fact, he had already made a judgment psychologically, "This is a special means of squeezing the early forces in disguise, but the way is relatively mild." ”

Wang Mu was not surprised, this kind of thing was understandable, he was strange why no one had ever reported Iron Mountain City...

The auction ended, and he followed the warrior out of the auction house. After pretending to say goodbye to the warrior, he secretly followed him. When there was no one around, Wang Mu saw the opportunity and controlled the warrior. As soon as the warrior was about to react, Wang Mu shouted in a low voice: "Silence, I have no intention of embarrassing you!" ”

The disparity in strength made the warriors give up resistance. He turned his head and found that the person who held him hostage was actually the "loser" just now, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I will give you back the spirit stone of my predecessors..."

Wang Mu pretended to put his arm around the warrior's shoulder, glanced left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then whispered: "The spirit stone is given to you, I will ask you a few questions, and you will answer me truthfully." If you dare to conceal or omit anything..."

Before Wang Mu's threatening words were finished, the warrior hurriedly said: "Although the seniors ask, I will know everything, and I will say everything!" ”

After some inquiry, Wang Mu roughly determined that this auction house was indeed one of the means used by Iron Mountain City to squeeze the primary forces, as he expected. The reason why no one dared to denounce it was because after two or three such incidents in history, the primary forces that denounced it completely disappeared within a hundred years due to various strange reasons!

"This is definitely not the reason why Iron Mountain City is so good at secrecy!" Wang Mu didn't feel much pain about the gray area, he was just shocked that Iron Mountain City could be so rampant, "The sect should have a protective umbrella, the sect master really arranged a good job for me..."

……

"Dad, after Wang Mu entered the city, he didn't go directly to the mansion, but actually inquired first!"

In the City Lord's Mansion of Iron Mountain City, a young man who looked capable was reporting to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "It's okay, even if he knows, it's fine." ”

The young man asked in a deep voice, "Isn't Grandpa looking bad on his face?" ”

"Your grandfather is the heaven of the Aoki sect!" The man looked disdainful and said, "What can you do with your own things in your own house?" Where are the materials exchanged from the Zhou family? ”

"It has been stored in the treasury, and I will send someone to send it to my grandfather in a few days." The youth said.

"Well, don't be careless about this!" The man stood up and walked outside the house, "That Wang Mu was sent by the sect master to remind us, let us not be too big." If you ask me, you will say that I am in retreat."

"Yes." The young man answered and walked out.

The man lifted the teacup and took another sip: "I have been allied with the Zhou family for many years, and I am still so worried, it's really a little family..."
