"Master Hou, there is a letter here, it was sent by a loose cultivator, saying that someone gave him a thousand taels to send the letter. When Zhou Zhe woke up from his sleep at noon, Suo E had already reported outside, and Zhou Zhe didn't bother to freshen up, and took the letter, which only had a few words on it, and the auction will meet. There weren't many words, but they were mysterious, which made him a little confused. Did the messenger want to see him, or did he go to the auction house to see something?

However, he was still ready and took the people to the auction, anyway, there was a private room in the gladiatorial arena, so he didn't have to worry about running out of space. The gladiatorial arena is not crowded, but it is also very lively, and he is the only one in this private room. Zhou Zhe's mind turned, and he was suddenly frightened by his stupid behavior, staying in the private room, others knew at a glance that it was Zhou Zhe, who was rich and wealthy, if he wanted to buy something, wouldn't it become a live target waiting for others to raise the price? But now it's crowding in the crowd?

"The following auction item is a weapon produced by Tianyu Pavilion, a spear that can break the armor of third-order spiritual power, and the reserve price is 150,000 taels of silver. Each increase in price is a thousand taels of silver. Has anyone increased the price?" The auctioneer's voice spread to the ears of every bidder with spiritual power, 150,000 taels, Zhou Zhe smiled, looked at his bidding card, and then raised it, and there was also a price tag that represented a price increase.

"The twenty-third has a price increase of one thousand taels. Has anyone increased the price?"

"Okay, the price of the forty-ninth has been increased by 10,000 taels, 10,000 taels, has anyone increased the price?"

Zhou Zhe is not afraid of spending money anyway, whether it is meeting at the auction or if there is something he wants to sell to Zhou Zhe, he must first beat the arrogance of the potential enemy to increase the price, otherwise there will be constant trouble. Zhou Zhe held up the sign again.

"No. 23, an increase of 20,000 taels. Is there a price increase? Now the price of the spear is 180,000 taels. The auctioneer shouted.

"No. 49, the price is increased by 20,000 taels, and now the price of the spear is 200,000 taels, is there any price increase? Is there a price increase? 200,000 taels once, 200,000 taels twice, 200,000 taels three times, deals. Congratulations to this buyer for obtaining the spear produced by Tianyu Pavilion. After bidding three times, the auctioneer saw that no one answered, and struck the hammer.

A third-order spear, worth 200,000 yuan, is indeed a bit higher, Zhou Zhe stood at the perspective of the private room, looking at everything in the field with a smile, the little trick and I am fighting, I am afraid it is asking for trouble.

"The following auction item is a flame crystal, embedded in the weapon, which can make the spiritual power attached to the weapon have a fire effect, especially for long-range attacks, the effect is even more significant. The reserve price was one million taels of silver. Has anyone increased the price?" the auctioneer shouted again, Zhou Zhe knew from the fire crystal that the flame effect of the weapon was indeed good, especially the bow and crossbow, it was said that this thing could only be found occasionally in the ore near the crater, because it came from dangerous places and was extremely rare, so the price was very expensive.

"On the twenty-third, bid one hundred and one thousand taels. The auctioneer glanced at Zhou Zhe's box, and laughed in his heart, someone raised the price, he wished it was so. Zhou Zhe just quoted the price, and sure enough, someone made another move.

"Eighty-eight, bid one million two hundred and twenty thousand taels. ”

"Ninety-three, bid one hundred and thirty thousand taels. ”

"On the twenty-third, bid one and a half million taels. ”

After a few times, the price was increased to two million taels.

"Twenty-three, two million taels once, good. No. 93 2,500,000 taels, 2,500,000 taels. Two million two hundred and fifty thousand two once, twice... "The auctioneer knocked down the hammer.

Zhou Zhe also arched his hand towards the position of No. 93, and the mockery was self-evident. Two and a half million taels is really an auspicious number. This is not the first time Zhou Zhe has entered the auction house, but he was still shocked by the purchasing power of various sects, they may not care about watching the game in an ordinary position with the loose cultivators, and they are reluctant to pay for the private room, but a good weapon, a good armor, it is worth having, because it is. At that time, the Hundred Knife Gate in Xilin County had been in business for several years, and there were several boxes of spiritual liquid taken out of the secret room, worth millions of taels of silver. Not to mention other wealthy sects?

It seems that I underestimated the financial resources of the world's sects, Zhou Zhe thought about his total assets, but only 60 million taels of silver, and here, the daily trading volume, I am afraid there are so many.

"It turns out that Lao Tzu is a poor man. Zhou Zhe was thinking from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, this kind of thing in the private room still couldn't attract the attention of the vast majority of the cultivator sects, they paid more attention to the real ones, such as weapons and equipment, such as things like Lihuo Yanjing, which could only improve their strength a little, it seemed that Tianyu Pavilion had to control it, and so many materials he had accumulated for Brother Yuan Fang should also play a role and create something that could actually improve combat power. If you don't make money with money, you lose money. His grain plan was based on his own financial resources, as well as the transportation of Longquan Pass. Now looking at Dasheng's purchasing power, Zhou Zhe feels that it is very difficult.

After thinking about it, another auction item was sold, and seeing that Zhou Zhe did not increase the price, the people on the field were also happy and continued to bid, but Zhou Zhe's own purpose had not been achieved, so how could he give up.

"The next auction item is a bronze ancient sword from a mysterious ruin. As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, the field turned heads and ears, mysterious ruins were unearthed, at least something from many years ago, whether it was good or bad, everyone had no conclusion in their hearts, but they all had some expectations, after all, there were such examples before, seemingly ordinary ancient weapons, but after repair, they were comparable to artifacts, and more often, they were just decorations for burials. "The ancient sword is four feet long, it is an antiquity from at least five hundred years ago, and the spiritual power fit is perfect, and the reserve price is 500,000 taels. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar, the price of 500,000 taels of silver was not high, but it was not low, and most of the gambling was popular. Zhou Zhe knew this kind of thing, and the weightlifting that Qu Hui gave to Lin Xiaoer was the excavation of the ancient tomb of Qishan, and Sun Guozhu repaired part of the formation pattern, so that it has today's power.

"Twenty-three, eight hundred thousand taels. Is there a price increase?" The auctioneer looked at the sign held up by Zhou Zhe and thought that he was helping to top the price again, while others also thought that Zhou Zhe was deliberately pulling up the price. 800,000 taels, is it worth fighting with Zhou Zhe again? What if he stops at that time and buys a funeral antique worth a million taels?

"Bang!" the auctioneer has already finalized the hammer, and 800,000 taels have been sold. The person who was with Zhou Zhe just now felt relieved, and then comforted himself and thought, you must have bought a useless antique. Zhou Zhe here actually doesn't matter, 800,000 taels, drizzle, but the goal has been achieved, no one has no brains to raise the price with him, if the mysterious person really wants him to buy an item from the auction house, at least it is impossible to make him bleed.

Time flies quickly, one by one the auction items pass by, occasionally there are things worth buying, Zhou Zhe also raised a sign, and he did not compete for someone to increase the price. In addition to the bronze ancient sword worth 800,000 yuan, there is also a third-order bow worth 150,000 taels, which can be given to Wang Rui or Liu Dabeard at that time, which is not a waste.

Just when Zhou Zhe began to be irritable and couldn't figure out what the mysterious man wanted to do, an auction item came into his sight, and his heart almost jumped to his throat.

"The following auction item is a gamble, a card made of a special material... The auctioneer's introduction is no longer important, Zhou Zhe's eyes are like a wolf patrolling the territory at the moment, he wants to find the mysterious person, but there are too many people in the gladiatorial arena, and he can't identify them.

The poker of the old man in the noodle restaurant actually appeared here. Zhou Zhe forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and he was even prepared, even if he couldn't shoot it, he would get it if he robbed it openly. Poker is the poker with a pattern on the back.

"The reserve price for this auction item is 100,000 taels of silver. Has anyone increased the price?" the auctioneer's voice fell, Zhou Zhe did not rush to shout the price, he forcibly suppressed his emotions and calculated a lot.

"Eleven, eleven thousand taels. Is there a price increase?" The auctioneer's voice immediately attracted Zhou Zhe's attention, and following the auctioneer's line of sight, he saw a person, Ye Although, the deacon of Ling Xiao Pavilion, his eyes were opposite, and he nodded at Zhou Zhe, Ling Xiao Pavilion bought this needless to say, in order to get closer to King Qi.

"Fifteenth, 120,000 taels. Is there a price increase?" the auctioneer continued to ask.

"No. 23, one hundred and fifty thousand taels. ”

Zhou Zhe politely nodded to Chaoye, tacitly.

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels once, twice... Deal. The moment the auctioneer put down the hammer, Zhou Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, and he took it without danger.

Zhou Zhe, who put his heart at ease, sat on the chair and closed his eyes, as if there was a big battle. And the subsequent auction has lost its meaning to him, because nothing is more important than this deck of cards that brought him to Kyushu.

Half an hour later, the auction was over, and Zhou Zhe had already obtained the deck of poker, which was indeed made of thin cards, and the lines on the back were the same as the one given to him by the old man in the noodle shop. If there is any secret on Zhou Zhe's body that is more important than the formation behind him, it is probably his true origin.

"Who sells this gambling set?" Zhou Zhe stared at the auction house manager in front of him, trying to see every subtle expression on his face. And the management just replied with a grin

"Master Hou, how can I remember clearly! There is an auction every ten days and half a month, so many sellers. Halfway through speaking, the administrator was stunned and flicked his fingers, "I remember, this person is easy to recognize, he is an old man, and he has a lot of strange tattoos on his body." ”

Zhou Zhe's eyes froze, old man, tattooed.

"Did you leave your name?"

"I'll see!" the administrator searched for it in the book, muttered the words in his mouth, and then pointed to a place, "Found it, just one word, Qi." ”

Zhou Zhe was stunned on the spot, Qi, there were only a few people with the surname Qi he knew or remembered, the Qi surname of the Tianxiong Sect who had been destroyed by him in the Northern Plains, and the other one, Qi Xin, the array spirit master in the Demon Spirit Guard.

Could it be him? How could it be? It's been a thousand years, but if you think about it, old man, tattoos. The old man of the Blood Demon on the Spirit Medium Mountain is a corner of the Divine Array, and he himself is also a Divine Array, so the tattoos on the old man's body can be explained. There is also a corroborative evidence, that is, Wang Rui was in the tomb of Shen Deyin, and Shen Deyin personally asked the sentence "Qi Xin, is it you?"

"Qi Xin, is it you?" The same question sounded in Zhou Zhe's heart, Shen Deyin's soul can survive to this day, the body has been preserved, and the tomb is made of the same material as the spirit medium mountain, which must have something to do with Qi Xin, because what is clearly recorded in the ancient books is ", expand the earth, plant spiritual grass, study gold water, and cast it as the base. Tower of Babel. "If it weren't for him, who else would be able to use the materials of the Tower of Babel to build a tomb for Shen Deyin?

Moreover, before and after getting the inheritance, it comes out of the great river and returns from the great river. It seems that it has been laid out in a good way, who else can it be except for the ancient demon spirit guard who has the means to reach the sky? The puzzles are one after another, and Zhou Zheleng is on the spot, because he has found a terrible game, and he seems to be in this game, and there is darkness around him.

Why me? Why did you get me from Earth to this damn Kyushu? And now they're putting cards in front of me, like a blatant taunt, like a prank. Zhou Zhe's face was very ugly, looking at the double ghosts on the card, the ugly face seemed to be laughing at everything about Zhou Zhe, even breathing. What is such a bureau for?

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye?" the administrator knew about this big money lord and shouted twice.

"Hmm!" Zhou Zhe woke up. "If the seller of gambling equipment comes to take the money, let me know. Leaving the words, Zhou Zhe got up and went back.

In the hall, Zhou Zhe closed the four doors, couldn't wait to take out the poker, carefully inspected every card, including the box, but found nothing. It's still poker, with gold on a black background. He deeply remembered that at the beginning, he just didn't follow the rules of the game and placed the ace of spades and the queen of hearts in the matrix, and only arrived in Kyushu.

If I did it again, would I go back? Go back to my rental house and start working as a new game planner again? What should Xin Chai do? What should his brother do? Zhou Zhe, who was in a dilemma, quickly made a decision. I can't go back, if he goes back to that rental house, when he is a new planner, can he still put up with the knife behind his colleague's back, can he still stand the cynicism of the landlord and be willing to be a small character? The answer is obviously, he can't.

Today, since I am standing on the crest of the waves, I will go down and see if there is the rising sun or the afterglow of the setting sun in front of me.

On this day, Zhou Zhe seemed to have lived again, and the whole person seemed to have become more energetic. I even joked with everyone at night, and it wasn't until the snow began to fall in the air that I remembered that it had been a year since I came to Kyushu.

In the wind and snow, in the night.

Zhou Zhe sat in front of the lamp, still pasting documents on the wooden frame. And in the distance, high in the sky, a shadow stared at him, the body of the black shadow was depicted with strange and ugly patterns, and his body, as withered as rotten wood, a gust of wind blew, with snowflakes swirling and falling, and when he looked at it again, there was no trace.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, there was already heavy snow all over the ground, and it was a foot thick. It was already snowing heavily, but the weather still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the spectators, who flocked to the stands of the gladiatorial arena in winter clothes. The refugees no longer have so many bodies to move, they are organized like worker ants, carrying food, meat, and some of them doing small business.

This is the handiwork of King Qi, at least this winter, they have survived.

In the corner of the gladiatorial arena, the area around the gambling ticket seller has always been lively, this gambling method is novel and fair, which makes many people participate in it, and there are even servants of the Xun family. Some of the relatives have returned to Beijing, but some are still paying attention, or watching the excitement, or gambling on both hands. The new game reward system has begun, and there are servants walking in the aisles with plates by the stands, and if the bounty reaches 500 taels, the bounty can be presented according to the requirements of the spectators, with or without signature.

Although the number of matches has been reduced from 30 to 15 per day, it is more interesting because there is more blood.

Zhou Zhe sat in the private room of Tianshu Pavilion, holding Miao Xiaomeng. And the eyes, scanning in the major private rooms. Li Jiuyang returned to Beijing, and now it is Huang Ke who is sitting in the private room representing the royal family, and there are several people dressed as guards around him, but the clothes he wears are brocade clothes embroidered with dragon patterns, which are very eye-catching. This is the Ouchi guard mentioned with Da Yu a few days ago, but think about it, with Dasheng's national strength, no matter how bad it is, it is stronger than the top sect, and it is inevitable to form a Ouchi guard to guard the imperial city.

Zhou Zhe suddenly felt that he was like the spy leader of Jinyiwei, and Huang Ke opposite was like a eunuch in Dongchang. There is also a feeling that the emperor is so incompetent, and the emperor still wants to keep it, so it won't be to check and balance those civil officials in the court, right? Because many civil officials come from the localities, and with the current situation of the people's survival, except for a few princes' fiefs, I am afraid that there will really be no capable ministers.

"Dingtao Hou rewarded one thousand taels of silver. Genting Gate rewarded two thousand taels of silver. "The steward of the gladiatorial arena is already using his spiritual power to sing loudly about the reward on the scene, and this kind of reward without a sign up is who wins and who takes the bounty. The steward reported a long list of rewards, and the silver tickets on the sidelines were already stacked thickly, as many as tens of thousands of taels.

How can the players on both sides of the field not be blushing?

Time flies, the battles come to an end in a frantic shout, the snow in the field is dyed red, the third-order and fourth-order competitions are over, those who win, get countless money and glory, and those who lose can't even leave a whole corpse. But the bloodier it is, the crazier the audience on the field.

"In the next game, Xue Xiaojin, against Du Xiao. The Colosseum's commentator shouted loudly, followed by a frantic shout. Zhou Zhe's hand trembled, and finally came, Xue Xiaojin of Jade Sword Villa, against Du Xiao of Wanhua Pavilion.

"What's wrong?" Xin Chai obviously noticed that Zhou Zhe was wrong.

"It's fine. Later, you can take Xiaomeng back early, it's not good if it's too bloody, it's about to be the New Year, do you want to go back to the city first?"

"What can I have, I will take care of Xiaomeng, after the New Year, our Xiaomeng will be a year older again, and when the time comes, the master will help you remove the forbidden spirit ring." Xin Chai took Xiao Meng's hand and smiled.

"Well, I listen to my mother. Was my sister making new clothes for me last night?" Miao Xiaomeng's words made Xin Chai blush, there are new clothes, but the craftsmanship is obviously a very simple suture, and he was stunned to be made into an earthworm to find his mother.

"Of course it is! Sister Chen Zui did it with Shi Niang. Chen Zui winked at Xinchai. Xin Chai also understands that with Chen Zui, Xiaomeng's food, clothing, housing and transportation don't have to worry, and for a moment she suddenly found that Chen Zui is more like a mother than her, who is a teacher.

"Senior sister, after this game is over, you and Xin Chase Xiaomeng back to Beijing! Uncle Shi is alone in Tianshu, and I haven't been to see my sister for a long time, so help me bring some New Year's gifts to her when the time comes." Zhou Zhe actually broke them apart, and he also wanted Chen Zui to spend the New Year with Pan Yifeng.
