Chapter 35: Gangfeng Aerial Technique
There were a few guests not far from Chen Xiao and them who were also drinking, and seeing that these people's breath was not weak, they should also be cultivators.
Their faces were a little gloomy at this time, as if they were a little unwilling, and one of the thin old men sighed slightly and said, "I'm afraid we came here in vain this time, I heard that the Skull Gate and the City Lord's Mansion are bound to get that thing." ”
A middle-aged strong man next to him said: "What is my uncle afraid of, this auction is jointly organized by the four major chambers of commerce, no matter how domineering the Skull Gate is, can you dare to grab it?"
"You know what a fart! Even if you clap something in your hands, you can still take it home safely. The thin old man gave him a blank look.
The strong man's breath was stagnant when he heard this, and he couldn't speak, and those people didn't seem to have any appetite, so they only hurriedly ate a few bites and got up and left.
Chen Xiao didn't know what kind of treasure they were talking about, and what kind of skull gate and city lord's mansion were fighting, and he was a little curious in his heart.
The three of them left the store after lunch, strolled around the street, and walked for a while, Bai Wuli stretched out his hand and pointed, Chen Xiao looked in the direction of his finger, it turned out to be a storefront that looked like a shop, and there were a few big white characters written on the plaque: Li Ji Commercial Company.
Chen Xiaozu stepped into the door of the store, there was not much space in the store, and there were some weapons, scrolls, and porcelain bottles scattered on the counter in a row, and it seemed that the grade was not high, and it seemed that no one had patronized it for a long time.
A guy in a green coat and a small hat greeted him, and a baby face was full of smiles: "What do you need for a few masters?"
Chen smiled: "Do you have a map of the Blue King Empire here?" ”
"Uncle, you're right, our map here is the most accurate, and it's quite famous in the city, wait a minute. ”
After a while, the man took out a blue scroll from the wooden cabinet and handed it to Chen Xiao: "Two silver coins." ”
Chen Xiao unfolded the map to take a look, the cities and mountains on it were drawn in detail, and when he saw Bai Wuli nodding, he threw two silver coins to the guy.
The guy smiled: "Thank you, uncle, if you need anything, just ask." ”
"I heard that there is going to be an auction in the city?" Chen Xiao asked lightly.
The guy nodded: "It's tomorrow noon, and the location is at Wanshou Commercial Bank." After that, he pointed out the general direction to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and asked him again, "What treasures are there in this auction, and what is the strength of the Skull Gate and the City Lord's Mansion?"
The guy looked out the door with some concern when he heard this: "This... ”
Chen Xiao handed him two more silver coins, and the guy said in a low voice: "Uncle, please." With that, he took Chen Xiao and the three of them into the inner hall.
The man closed the door before he said softly, "A few uncles are from out of town, right?"
Seeing Chen Xiao nodding, he said again: "This auction is hosted by the four major chambers of commerce, and it is said that there are a lot of treasures, but the Skull Gate and the City Lord's Mansion are for the last auctioned item." ”
His voice was lowered: "Although this shop is not big, but the villain has a friend who works in the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce, I got reliable news that the most precious treasure in this auction is a volume of exercises, called Gangfeng Aerial Technique." ”
"What kind of exercise is this?" Chen Xiao was a little curious.
The man's expression was very mysterious: "This is a very special body cultivation spirit technique, which can allow people who cultivate wind attribute exercises to fly in the air at will. ”
"Oh?" Chen Xiao couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, you must know that normal people can only barely have the ability to fly for a short time when they have cultivated to the realm level, and even the current black and white can only stay in the air for a moment.
Only when they break through to the middle of the realm can they have the ability to freely control the sky, this exercise is really peculiar, it can even make people who practice wind attribute exercises fly through the air, this is simply an extremely perverted cheating trick, with it, whether it is against the enemy or fleeing, there is an additional means to press the bottom of the box.
Chen Xiao also coveted this Sky Technique: "What about the Skull Gate and the City Lord's Mansion?"
The guy continued: "The Skull Gate has been dominating in the Li Mall for more than ten years, the door master is called Jiang Hattian, he has broken through to the First Spirit Realm a few years ago, and the strength of his disciples is not weak, and the two elders are both at the peak of the Jingyuan Realm. ”
Chen Xiao said secretly in his heart: This Li Mall is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the strength of a sect elder is enough to stand on his own in a place like Shanwang County.
The guy continued: "The name of the owner of Li Mall is Song Yang, and he is also a strong man in the Spirit Realm, but the strength of his guards is average, the Lord of Song City is a person in the official mansion, and there are 10,000 garrisons in this city, so he has always been safe with the Skull Gate, but this time. . . ”
At this time, Chen Xiao already had a number in his heart, put the map into the storage ring, left the trading house, and found a secluded inn to settle down.
Hei Wuli advocated going to the City Lord's Mansion first, suppressing Song Yang as the commander of the Tiger Devouring Army, and asking him to help Chen Xiao get the Sky Technique.
Chen Xiao didn't think so, they didn't know the character of the city lord when they first arrived, if the other party had bad intentions, they would go forward and startle the snake, and Chen Xiao knew in his heart that in addition to the black and white elders, there was also Huo Lao, the biggest hole card, so there was no need to worry too much.
Wanshou Trading House is located near the center of the city in Li Mall, which is the most prosperous area of the city, and the four major chambers of commerce of the Blue King Empire have branches here.
When Chen Xiao and the three of them came here, but just after the end of the day, the Wanshou Chamber of Commerce was already overcrowded, and the gate of the Chamber of Commerce was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
Seeing this, the two elders of black and white took the lead in opening the way, and the faint soft vitality on their bodies was released, and the crowded crowd in front of them involuntarily dodged a road, and the three of them passed through the crowd like swimming fish, and easily came to the door of the auction.
This place is indeed worthy of a high-level auctioneer, just to enter the entrance needs to pay a gold coin fee, Chen Xiao casually threw out three gold coins, and the black and white elders walked into the dark hall door, through the narrow passage into the venue.
The hall suddenly opened up, the circular venue was very wide, and there was an auction table three feet high and ten feet wide at the front, on which was placed a round table made of fine pear wood.
Nearly half of the hundreds of sofa-like seats under the stage have been occupied. The second floor of the hall is a circular wooden staircase, and there are only a dozen or so rooms that look like VIP rooms, all of which are covered by beaded curtains, so that you can't see the situation inside.
As soon as Chen Xiao entered the hall, a scantily clad and hot maid greeted them with a smile and arranged for them to be seated, and the three of them chose a relatively backward position and sat down, closing their eyes on a comfortable leather chair and waiting for the auction to start.
After a while, the seats in the venue were gradually filled, and several groups of people entered the room on the second floor one after another, and it seemed that they should all be the more famous forces in Li Mall.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao and the black and white elders opened their eyes at the same time, and looked up as if they were sensitive, only to see a middle-aged man dressed beautifully walking up the second wooden staircase, followed by a young and handsome girl.
The middle-aged man has a good appearance, and when he walks, he walks without hurry or slow, revealing the unique temperament of a person who has lived in officialdom for a long time.
The girl who followed closely behind him, there seemed to be a morbid beauty on her pale melon seed face, her body was soft and weak, she had to stop and rest for a moment every time she walked, and coughed lightly a few times, although she seemed to be a sick beauty, but Chen Xiao found that in her smart eyes, there was a faint hint of clever and playful flashing.
Whenever the middle-aged man saw the girl stop to rest and cough lightly, he also accompanied her with a worried face and whispered something, the girl shook her head gently, but the pampering worry in the eyes of the middle-aged man was really real.
"This is the city lord of Song who is here with his precious daughter. ”
"It's a pity to hear that his daughter, despite her talent, is suffering from a bad disease. ”
"What do you know? Miss Song was a cultivation wizard back then, and she had already entered the peak of the Ninefold Tongyuan Realm when she was thirteen years old, but when she broke through the Huayuan Realm three years ago, she was secretly attacked and plotted, and after she went mad, there was no progress in her cultivation, and I am afraid that there are not many longevity yuan. ”
"I see!"
Chen Xiao listened to the audience and whispered, knowing that this middle-aged man was Song Yang, the city lord of Li Mall, and that weak girl was his daughter, and he didn't expect that he would end up like this with extraordinary talent.
Song Yang helped his daughter to the VIP room in the center of the second floor and just wanted to enter, when a chatter and laughter suddenly came from the wooden ladder, and then several people went up the wooden ladder on the second floor.
This group of four people is three old and one young, they are all wearing white power suits, embroidered with a black skull pattern on their chests, the smiling old man walks in the front, about fifty years old, with a white face and a slight beard, and a pair of wolf eyes of a yin owl shine with a fierce and cunning light from time to time.
Behind him was a young man of about twenty years old, slightly handsome, holding a fan in his hand and shaking it gently, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were as eerie and fierce as the former, he really had a bit of a chic and unworldly temperament.
Behind him were two old men, their eyes half-open and half-closed, and they looked like they were above everyone else.
When everyone in the audience saw a few of them, they all turned their heads and didn't dare to look more, and there was jealousy and disgust in their dodging eyes.
The old man in front came to Wang Yang and hugged his fists and said, "The city lord of Song came one step earlier than the old man, it seems that he came prepared today." ”
Song Yang looked at him, shook his head slightly, and said: "The master of Jiangmen is rich and rich, and Song is not comparable, so let's try my luck." ”
Although the two seemed polite, they obviously did not speculate, and they entered the VIP room separately after a few hypocritical and polite words.
Several people behind Chen Xiao were talking in a low voice, and one of them said, "The young man behind the Wang Sect Master is tight-faced, and I don't know who it is?"
"That's Jiang Yu, the young master of the Skull Gate, who has been learning from the immeasurable old ghost in Wuliang Mountain, so he rarely shows up in Li Mall, and this time I am afraid that I rushed back for the auction of that thing. ”
"Looks like the Skull Gate is determined to get that thing this time. ”
Chen Xiao took the conversation of several people into his ears, and suddenly a curtain at the back of the hall was gently lifted, and a sturdy old man stepped onto the auction table, a white robe embroidered with strange graphics that seemed to be yin and yang gossip, and his eyes seemed to flicker when he was moving, which made people dare not force his eyes.
As soon as this person appeared on the auction table, the whispering in the audience stopped abruptly, and everyone was busy sitting down, waiting for today's show to start!
