Volume 1 Three Lives Chapter 202 Little Lantern
Shaking his head a little depressedly, Chen Bai inadvertently caught a glimpse of a stall not far away from the corner of his eye. Then he walked towards the stall in a ghostly manner.
Phantom Yin was still a little naughty waiting for him to beg him to explain, but when he saw that Chen Bai didn't pay any attention to her, he walked straight into the distance, and couldn't help but pout, and followed without saying a word.
The stall looked ordinary, no different from the rest of the stalls next to it, and the stall owner was also a person who couldn't see men and women clearly under a black robe.
When he saw Chen Bai walking towards him, the stall owner's eyes narrowed slightly, and then straightened up slightly.
Walking to the stall, Chen Bai didn't speak, just quietly glanced at all the objects displayed on the stall, as if he was just coming to wander around casually.
And it's true, just walking briskly was the result of some unknown whim, but when I got closer, that feeling disappeared completely.
Carefully observing every item on the stall, the look of disappointment in Chen Bai's eyes became more and more intense. There wasn't anything here that could make his heart flutter at all, mostly things he had never seen before, but the fluctuations that emanated were extremely weak.
Just as he shook his head and was about to leave, a small object hanging from the stall owner's waist caught his attention.
I saw that this thing was the size of a thumb, and the whole thing was in the shape of a lantern, and there was a layer of yellow-brown oiled paper pasted on the surface, which looked quite old.
Pointing to the small lantern with his finger, Chen Bai said in a deep voice: "Boss, is this thing for sale?"
Glancing at his waist in the direction of his finger, a strange look flashed in the stall owner's eyes, and after a little hesitation, he nodded slightly and said, "Sell." With that, he took the thing from his waist and threw it at the stall.
Seeing this, Chen Bai smiled slightly, squatted down, and took the small lantern in his hand.
Although the small lantern is not big, it has a lot of weight in the hand, and even the unprepared Chen Bai's hand sank slightly. When he held it in his hand and observed, Chen Bai realized that what he had seen before was only a small part of the small lantern.
The surface of the small lantern is not oiled paper, but a layer of non-gold and non-jade, but it is extremely warm to the hand, let's call it lamp paper. Chen Bai can guarantee that this thing is definitely the first time he has seen this thing in so many years. At the top of the lantern is a circle of black-brown plants that look like bamboo, and when you flick your fingers on it, you will make a "tuk-tuk!" sound.
After seeing these things, Chen Bai suddenly became interested in the inside of the small lantern, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with purple light, and he used purple pupils.
This time, the purple pupils were extremely powerful, and they easily passed through the layer of lamppaper on the surface. Inside is a stone plate with ten grooves on it, three larger grooves in the center, and seven smaller grooves evenly around the three large grooves, as if they were guarding the three large grooves.
"It's strange, there's no light in this lantern. Looking at the stone plate inside, Chen Bai made a voice with some confusion.
The stall owner sneered when he heard this, and said with a strange look in his eyes: "I said this little brother, how do you know that there is no light inside? And isn't it normal that there is no light inside? This little gadget is just an ornament, I exchanged it for a steamed bun from an old man." ”
Chen Bai glanced at the stall owner in some surprise, and said in a cold voice: "Can you see through my identity?"
"Poof, what is your identity as a little guy? I can see not only that you are a little guy, but also that you are just a little thing at the pinnacle of the Cave Realm. The stall owner looked even more disdainful, and his tone was a little teasing.
Chen Bai was not surprised that the stall owner could see his cultivation, after all, he could easily see through the appearance of this stall owner's cultivation at the seventh or eighth layer of the Transformation God Realm, but being able to see that he was a young man made Chen Bai feel not so secure. For some reason, the stall owner opposite gave him a very dangerous feeling.
Shaking his head, Chen Bai put these things behind for the time being, raised the small lantern in his hand and said, "How did this thing sell?"
"A thousand superb spirit stones. Seeing him talk about the transaction, the stall owner also returned to his normal tone.
"What the hell??!! you exchange a steamed bun for a thousand superb spirit stones, and I ?!! a thousand superb spirit stones" Chen Bai exploded instantly, and his voice became very sharp, attracting the eyes of the people around him.
"Just a thousand superb spirit stones, if you want love, don't give it back to me. The stall owner's tone was impatient.
Hearing him say this, Chen Bai fell silent, and after thinking about it for a long time, he slowly raised his head and said softly: "Yes." With that, he directly took out a thousand superb spirit stones from the storage space and piled them directly in front of the stall owner.
Although the number is not very large, each of the peerless spirit stones has extremely pure spiritual power fluctuations, and the moment these spirit stones appear, almost the entire ghost market has their eyes set their eyes here. Then, most of the people's eyes showed a red glow, just like the bloodthirsty lone wolf.
The sound of the rain in the distance also noticed the situation here, and subconsciously wanted to come over to support Chen Bai, but somehow, after a little hesitation, he chose to stop and watch.
The reason why Chen Bai did this was originally a little bit of an idea to make this stall owner the target of public criticism, but after a while, he found that something seemed to be wrong, and everyone seemed to lock their greedy eyes on him, but they turned a blind eye to the superb spirit stones that he piled up on the stall.
With a sneer, the stall owner leisurely received these spirit stones into his storage space, and then said seemingly casually: "The transaction is complete~" and stopped making a sound.
It's just that when he finished saying this, the gasps of the onlookers were obviously heavier, and the red glow in their eyes was much thicker.
Phantom Yin, who had been standing on the side, shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and was about to tear off the black robe on his body, but was dragged by Chen Bai.
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Bai smiled bitterly and then looked at a place in the far corner and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect that the legendary human emperor would not enjoy happiness in his own palace, but came to participate in such a ghost market." ”
As his phantom fell, everyone's eyes fell on the place he was looking. I saw that there was a very inconspicuous stall in that place, and the stall owner was also a very ordinary black-robed man. 、
Just when everyone's eyes fell on that side, Chen Bai didn't hesitate to pull up the phantom sound's wrist, turned his head and ran towards the outside of the ghost city.
His speed was extremely fast, and he appeared on the edge of the ghost market almost instantly, and then ran all the way down the bluestone road to the outside. Seeing this, Yusheng chuckled, and followed quickly without hesitation, and the black knights behind him also followed.
Most of the people in the black market had already surpassed the Transformation God Realm, and such a big movement obviously wouldn't escape their eyes, but their attention at this time was completely attracted by the stall owner in that corner, and the red glow in their eyes was even thicker than when they looked at Chen Bai before.
Faced with so many wolf-like eyes, the stall owner shook his head helplessly, and said in a very flat voice: "I didn't expect that this little guy cheated people at will, and he actually pitted this king." ”
With that, the stall owner slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing the face of an extremely handsome middle-aged man.
If the sound of the rain was still here, he would definitely cry out in shock, because this man was none other than Yuwen Ning, the king of Yi who he called Uncle Ning.
After seeing Yu Wenning's face, a little disappointment flashed in the eyes of these people who participated in the ghost market, but then most of them took off their masks, revealing ugly and terrifying faces one after another. Then, these people all drew their weapons and killed Yu Wenning.
However, not everyone joined the ranks, such as those stall owners on the periphery who were weaker in cultivation, or the stall owner who had just completed a deal with Chen Bai.
Silently looking at the direction where Chen Bai went, the corner of the stall owner's eyes slowly piled up a little smile, and said softly: "What an interesting little guy." ”
Running all the way along the bluestone road, Chen Bai and the two quickly arrived at the starting point of the bluestone road. But then a somewhat troublesome thing came to the two of them, that is, although the bluestone road came to an end, there was no sign of the banyan tree they had come in, only the endless dark night in front of them.
At this time, there were bursts of footsteps behind them, as well as the shouts of rain: "Hey!~~ Brother Chen, wait for me!!"
Turning around, Chen Bai's eyes were a little indifferent when he looked at Yusheng, but in an instant, he changed to an enthusiastic look, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, you came just in time." I'm worried about how to get out~!"
Hearing him say this, Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Chen, don't worry, those people in the black market haven't caught up." When his words fell, the person also arrived in front of Chen Bai.
Gently patting Chen Bai's shoulder, Yusheng said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Chen is also a hidden person, and there is such a good thing as a superb spirit stone." However, the wealth is not exposed, Brother Chen will still put this thing out directly in the future. ”
"Well, I didn't expect to cause such a big reaction, and I won't be in the future. But Brother Long, you seem to have found what you want, so let's just leave. Chen Bai smiled, as if he didn't care about the fact that Yusheng didn't come to help him before.
