Chapter 54: I want to put on a show

Heling Mountain, is the location of the Heling Sect, the mountain is lined with green trees, the scenery is beautiful, and the aura is rich. Looking down from a high altitude, the overall shape of the mountain peak looks like a crane that has been spreading its wings, hence the name of Heling Mountain.

The Crane Spirit Sect is the force that co-organized the auction with the Chu family and the Gushan Academy this time.

It is said that 600 years ago, the founding patriarch of the Crane Ling Sect was originally a loose cultivator, and when he passed through the Crane Ling Mountain, he had an epiphany, so as to cultivate for diligence. At that time, this loose cultivator thought that Heling Mountain had a fate with him, gave up the original Taoist name, changed his name to Heling Ancestor, and opened a sect on Heling Mountain.

On the mountainside of Heling Mountain, there is a large square artificially opened up, and the square is surrounded by perennial fog. There are faint formation fluctuations in the mist, which has a confusing effect on ordinary people. If an ordinary person steps into it, he will unconsciously return the way he came, and go out from wherever he entered.

This square, which is usually a practice place for the disciples of the Crane Spirit Sect, is now designated as the open space for this auction by the Crane Spirit Sect.

There are still five days before the auction, and many people are indeed already there, attending the market before the auction.

Speaking of this market, there was no such thing. When the auction was first formed, some people had something on hand that could not be recognized by the auction, so they would take advantage of the popularity of the auction to set up a small stall and sell their items before the auction began.

And some people are not very wealthy, and it is difficult to make a profit at the auction, so they will retreat and buy what they need from nearby vendors.

Over time, as the number of people attending each auction increased, so did the number of vendors, and a large-scale market was gradually formed. Later, a few days before the auction was held, a market would be formed, which had become a habit.

For this phenomenon, the organizer of the auction will not interfere, after all, the emergence of the market has invisibly brought popularity to the auction. Of course, the organizer will also state in advance that they only provide a venue for the market, and as for the transactions in the market, it has nothing to do with the organizer.

In other words, if you buy a fake in the market, or spend unjustly money, the organizer will not come forward.

At this moment, the square is full of people, and many stalls are lined up in several columns in an orderly manner, and a two-meter-wide aisle is vacated in the middle of each column.

"Wow, there are so many people! These can't all be cultivators, right?" At the entrance of the square, Huang Yan'er looked at the situation in the square and exclaimed.

"Most of them, some of them were brought by cultivators like you. Some cultivators will also hire ordinary people to take care of the stall business for them. Liu Ming explained.

At the beginning, Mao Rui didn't plan to bring Sha Qianwen and Huang Yan'er over, after all, this place is full of dragons and snakes, and there are everyone. Under the pleading of the two women and promising to always be by everyone's side, Mao Rui relented and brought them over.

Looking around at the obviously newly built houses on the east side of the square, Mao Rui said, "It should be a place to rest, let's find a place to stay first." After speaking, he took the lead and walked forward, with five people following behind.

Not far from the house, a simple pavilion was erected, on which hung a wooden sign that read 'Rental Office'. In the pavilion, there were six people, all of whom were thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls. The three of them were marked with the word 'Chu' on their clothes, and they were the children of the Chu family. The other three wore the same attire and had the words 'Backing Mountain Academy' written on their left chest.

Seeing Mao Rui and a few people approaching, a disciple of the Backing Mountain Academy got up, bowed with his fists, and said with a smile: "A few Taoist friends, this place is a rental office, I don't know if you want to rent a booth or a residence?"

Mao Rui touched his chin and said, "Oh, now the booths are charged, doesn't the organizer interfere with the transaction?"

"What this Taoist friend said is that the organizer does not interfere in the transaction. However, people from all walks of life gathered in the market, and it was inevitable that there would be people with bad intentions who robbed the goods on the stalls. When this happens, the children of the three clans who are interspersed in the fang market will take action to maintain order and protect the wealth of the stall owners. The fees charged are actually used as a reward for the hard work of the senior brothers. The disciple of the Backing Mountain Academy explained with a smile on his face.

Mao Rui turned his head to see that there were indeed disciples wearing the costumes of the three sects in the market, and groups of three or four were patrolling.

"To put it bluntly, it is to protect Fei Bei, and to talk to you Confucian disciples is to work hard. Mao Rui said impatiently.

The expression on the girl's face froze, and the children of the Chu family covered their mouths and snickered.

Mao Rui continued: "Arrange a room for us, three men and three women. ”

The girl squeezed out a smile on her face again, and introduced: "I will arrange two three-person rooms for you, and by the end of the auction, a total of two spirit stones will be collected, what do you think?"

It seems that Mao Rui's words just now have worked, and the content of the girl's words this time is obviously much more concise.

Mao Rui: "Take us to see it." ”

The girl stretched out her hand to make a gesture of please, and walked towards the house with Mao Rui and the others.

As soon as he entered the house area, the door of a house next to him opened from the inside, and Mao Rui, who was walking in front, saw the person's appearance clearly at the moment of opening the door, and immediately took a few steps back, came to the middle of several people, and lowered his head, looked at the ground and walked, trying not to be discovered by others.

Liu Ming and the five were puzzled by Mao Rui's sudden behavior, but they knew that there must be a reason for him, so they didn't ask questions at this time.

The people in the house didn't see Mao Rui, and after walking out of the house, they passed by everyone and walked towards Fang City.

The girl from the backing academy didn't know what had just happened, and continued to lead the way.

Soon the people came to a house, and the maiden opened the doors of the two adjacent rooms, stood at the door, and said, "Go in and see if you are satisfied." ”

The furnishings of the room are very simple, with three beds and a bathroom with a shower. It's just that as a temporary resting place, everyone didn't ask too much, Liu Ming handed over two spirit stones, and the girl left the key and left.

After the girl left, Mao Rui closed the door and set up a noise barrier.

After seeing Mao Rui's arrangement, Liu Ming asked, "What happened just now?"

'Haha' Mao Rui snorted and said, "The guy who came out of the house just now and walked past us was beaten by me before." ”

"Again, the second time it was like three months in bed. Mao Rui added.

Five: "......"

Seeing that the atmosphere was silent, Mao Rui continued: "I have beaten a lot of guys before, most of them will definitely come here, and when the time comes, I will hide my breath, pretend to be an ordinary person, come to play a play, and wait for them to take the bait." Remember to cooperate with me. ”

Subsequently, I discussed the details with everyone.
