Chapter Eighty-Three: The Aquila Gate
Imagine if you follow a person, when you think he is going east and chasing him to the east, but he changes direction, and when you chase him back to the west, you will find that he has gone south...... How uncomfortable it is!
Rao is based on his tracking level, and after this tracking, he actually chased the wrong direction several times. If it weren't for his high tracking ability, coupled with his timely reaction and some luck, I'm afraid he would be able to get rid of the old man the first time. A few mistakes down, depressed almost crazy!
Several times I wanted to simply jump out and ask him with the placket of the old man's clothes: Big brother, you are my own eldest brother! You are just wandering around the east gate and the west door, and the donkey's lips are not the same as the horse's mouth, aren't you tired? Can't you be honest, go well, and hurry back to the place where you are always going? Besides, even if you are always out of caution and afraid that someone will follow you, you will not be tired after such a big circle of twisting and turning, the east gate is not the west door, and the donkey's lips are not the same as the horse's mouth?
Just thinking about it, he suddenly found that the old man in front of him was instantly moving, and without being noticed by passers-by on the street, he suddenly sped up and rushed into an eastward alley in front of him, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Seeing the old man show his body, he suddenly sped up his speed, rushed into an alley facing east in front of him, and secretly said in his heart, he finally couldn't help it! Don't dare to slack off, he hurriedly chased after him, but after entering the alley that the old man entered, he found that the alley was full of people coming and going, bustling, and there was no trace of the other party. The shadow continued to follow the bustling crowd and continue to track forward.
When he was far away, the old man finally made sure that the strange shadow that had been following him had completely disappeared, so Shi Shiran emerged from a hidden shadow at the turn of the alley and walked away.
The old man took two steps and suddenly turned back. I changed another way, went in one direction, walked seven or eight streets, then changed the direction and continued to go forward, and then changed directions again, ......; So. The old man came to Wanbao Auction House again, only this time at the back door of Wanbao Auction House.
Looking at the Wanbao Auction House in front of him, the old man smiled mysteriously, and then, with the flow of people passing by, he disappeared, leaving no trace, and at the same time, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly in his heart, that guy is probably going to be dizzy by me today. Lao Tzu has eaten more salt than you have eaten, and crossed more bridges than you have walked. That's called a weird thing, boy, you're too tender compared to your grandfather......
The old man's expectation was good, after the man chased dozens of zhang, he didn't find any trace of the old man, and he immediately knew that he had been fooled, and he rolled back like a gust of wind. Then he appeared in the shadow where the old man was hidden, and his eyes were gloomy to the extreme!
The man's black cloak completely enveloped his entire body. I couldn't see his appearance, and there was a cold aura all over my body, and what was even more strange was that the other person was obviously standing there, but it seemed to be in the shadows, giving people a weird and vague feeling, which was the shadow that appeared next to Steward Zhao in the Wanbao Auction House.
The eagle's sharp gaze pierced through the barrier of the flow of people. He carefully inspected the vast surroundings, and then, emerging from the shadows, he walked in one direction step by step, but it was clearly step by step. The speed is even faster than ordinary people running with all their might!
That direction is the direction in which the old man left from here!
This person is so meticulous that under such a dense flow of people, he can find the right direction at a glance!
The shadow followed the slight traces, and there was not a trace of deviation from the route taken by the old man when he left. The southeast and northwest went around in a big circle, and then the shadow stood in front of the back door of the Wanbao Auction House in a daze, looking at the people coming and going on the street, a face was blue and red, as if opening a dye shop, and he only felt a little weak!
After decades of dominating the world, his tracking technique has never failed, but today he actually planted a heel on a black-robed man who had never even seen him, although he didn't know the specific cultivation of the other party, but his cultivation would definitely not exceed the honorable level. Even a high-level master or even a sect-level master is confident that he will not be discovered by the other party when he is tracking the other party, let alone lose it! But today he just lost the other party, which is simply a big joke in the world! But the feeling in his heart clearly told him: This time he really chased and lost!
Shame on you! The galleon capsized in the gutter......
The shadow grimaced, and its form melted into the darkness and vanished.
Wanbao Auction House, in Steward Zhao's room, Steward Zhao's voice suddenly sounded, "Shadow, you're back." How's it going?"
As soon as Steward Zhao's voice fell, the figure of the shadow appeared strangely from the shadows, and said respectfully and ashamedly: "My lord, my subordinates are not doing well, and they have lost people, please punish them!"
"Lost people?!" Steward Zhao said in surprise, "With your ability, you can actually lose people, has the other party found you?"
"I don't know, sir. The shadow replied, recalling the scene when he was following the other party, and said thoughtfully, "The other party didn't seem to notice me, but the other party was extremely cautious, and after going out, he went around in a big circle in Mingyue City, and the other party's reaction and behavior came to see you, and he was also a master of tracking, and in the end, his subordinates were thrown away by him." ”
"I don't blame you for this, it's because I didn't think it through. Steward Zhao waved his hand to let the shadow leave, and then pondered by himself.
......
The old man who returned to Liu Rulong's small courtyard remembered that Steward Zhao had inquired about the source of the pill in the Wanbao Auction House and was followed afterwards, and the old man felt more and more that something was wrong, so he went to find Liu Rulong and told Liu Rulong about these things.
"Old man, do you mean that there may be a problem with Wanbao Auction House?" said Liu Rulong after listening.
"Yes, young master. The old man replied, "The auction house does not ask the source of the auction items, this is the rule of the auction house. Today, Steward Zhao asked about the source of the elixir, and it was obviously a taboo thing, which he did not know, although the answer he gave did not have the slightest problem, but it seems that such a taboo thing should not be a mistake that a person like him should make. ”
"In addition, after I left Wanbao Auction House, I was immediately followed, apparently by someone who outsourced the auction house. And tracking customers is also extremely taboo, auction houses will not do such things to offend customers, but Wanbao Auction House has done this, which is obviously not in line with common sense. ”
"You're right, old man. Liu Rulong agreed, "It is obviously caused by the pill that was auctioned today, which was caused by the pill that was auctioned today. But this pill only has a huge impact on the plans carried out by the Liuyun Sect, is it ......?"
"Could it be ......" The old man also thought of a possibility.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the hint of clarity in each other's eyes.
"It must be so, yes. The old man affirmed, "No wonder the Liuyun Sect suddenly did such a thing, not afraid of the royal family of the Bright Moon Empire, it turned out that it was because of the support of the forces behind the Wanbao Auction House, and even the forces behind the Wanbao Auction House instructed the Liuyun Sect to do this!"
"Does the old man know about the forces behind Wanbao Auction House?" asked Liu Rulong.
Liu Rulong has always known that Wanbao Auction House is very strong behind it, otherwise Wanbao Auction House would not have such a peculiar status and strength in the Bright Moon Empire.
However, he could not get the slightest useful information about the forces behind the Wanbao Auction House, first, he had only been in this world for a short time, he was still young, and there were many things on the mainland that he did not know; second, the forces behind the Wanbao Auction House were not known to ordinary people, and even those who knew would not say it like a five-year-old child.
"Yes. The remnant elder nodded and said, "Wanbao Auction House is one of the branches of the Heavenly Eagle Gate on the mainland. The Heavenly Eagle Sect is an extremely powerful sect on the mainland, and there are countless masters in the sect, not to mention the honorable and sect-level masters, even the monarch-level masters have several people. This is a concentration camp for the mighty that has reached the limit of strength just by saying the name......
"Wanbao Auction House is a branch of the Heavenly Eagle Gate set up on the mainland to collect money. In other words, Wanbao Auction House is an institution that earns wealth for the Aquila Gate. Only the things that have been eliminated after the research of the Aquila Gate will be auctioned here, and these things are still auctioned at sky-high prices!"
"After the Wanbao Auction House converts the items into a huge amount of money, it will exchange the money for some strange things, and then return them to the Wind and Snow Silver City. Whether it is an ordinary old man's method of longevity, or a technique that can promote the potential of the human body, or a rare spirit beast elixir, or something in an extremely cold or hot place, in short, as long as it is rare in the world, rare in the world, and beyond the norm, Wanbao Auction House will buy it at a price you are satisfied with......
After the remnant elder's narration, Liu Rulong understood what kind of existence Wanbao Auction House and the force behind it, Tianying Gate, were.
"Since the Heavenly Eagle Gate is so powerful, it is easy to destroy the Bright Moon Empire with the strength of the Heavenly Eagle Gate, then why doesn't the Heavenly Eagle Gate directly destroy the Bright Moon Empire, but instead let the Liuyun Sect do it, acting in such a secret?" Liu Rulong raised his puzzlement.
"The young master doesn't know," the remnant elder explained, "Although the Aquila Gate is powerful, it is not a single family, and there are many forces that can compete with the Aquila Gate, and they contain each other, and in order to maintain the balance of power between them, these forces are not allowed to make a move against an imperial existence like the Bright Moon Empire, otherwise they will be suppressed by other forces." Therefore, there is no force to make a move against an imperial existence like the Bright Moon Empire. ”
"I just didn't expect that the Aquila Gate would risk being suppressed by other forces after discovering it, and secretly use such a method to control the Bright Moon Empire. The old man finally sighed. (To be continued......)
