Chapter 29: Surprise
87_87881The You family has been looking for a month in Black Rock City, but in addition to finding out the cause of You Ximing's death, they have not even found any trace of the murderer, so the You family is angry and angry, and directly turns the target to the four major families in Black Rock City, but at this time, Black Rock City is becoming more and more lively.
"Shopkeeper! On weekdays, you only need one silver coin a night to stay in this inn, why did you raise the price today?" In an inn in the market of Black Rock City, a monk who had just returned from the dark forest habitually came to the inn where he lived on weekdays, but he didn't expect that the room rate for one silver coin a night on weekdays would rise to five silver coins, and he was very dissatisfied and complained to the shopkeeper.
"Brother Cui, the room price of these five silver coins, I still offer this price for the sake of you as my old customer, not a frequent visitor to our inn, staying here for one night is a gold coin, and at present, the entire inn in Black Rock City is a gold coin for one night, but only my inn discounts old customers. The innkeeper complained when he saw the monk in front of him, although he also knew that the price was indeed a bit expensive, but at present, all the inns in Black Rock City had raised their prices, and he would undoubtedly make a lot less money if he didn't raise the price at this time.
When the monk surnamed Cui heard the innkeeper's words, his first feeling was that it was incredible, and he hurriedly asked the innkeeper: "Boss, you won't fool me, right? Our Black Rock City is not the imperial capital, even if it is an inn in the imperial capital, it doesn't cost so much money?"
When the innkeeper heard the words of the middle-aged man surnamed Cui, his face showed a very unshaven expression, and he said with a smile: "Brother Cui, it seems that you haven't been back in the Dark Forest for a long time, otherwise you wouldn't be unaware of the big things that happened in our Black Rock City." ”
"What's the big deal, isn't it that the grandson of the patriarch of the You family in the imperial capital was killed in the dark forest? I heard about this when I entered the dark forest that day, and I met someone from the You family in the dark forest a few days ago, and a You family won't let us raise the price of the Black Rock City Inn, right?" The monk surnamed Cui instinctively thought that the big thing in Black Rock City was the killing of the young master of the You family, and directly told the matter of the You family.
"Brother Xuan!, so I said that you have been in the dark forest for too long, so you don't know about the major events that have happened in our Black Rock City, although the You family is a big family in the imperial capital, it will not let all our inns in Black Rock City increase their prices at the same time! The innkeeper saw the middle-aged man surnamed Cui with a confused look, and immediately told the other party what happened in Black Rock City.
"Boss, let's laugh! The Treasure Pavilion holds an auction every year, as for increasing the inn fee in Black Rock City tenfold!" The monk surnamed Cui didn't believe the innkeeper's words at all, and directly refuted the innkeeper's explanation.
When the innkeeper heard the rebuttal of the monk surnamed Cui, he immediately carried forward the virtue of human gossip and said to the monk surnamed Cui: "So I said that you have been in the dark forest for too long, otherwise you would not know how grand the auction of the Treasure Pavilion is for the God Abandonment Continent." ”
"Boss, although the things auctioned by the Treasure Pavilion are all good things, they won't be able to increase the price of our inn in Black Rock City by ten times!" The monk surnamed Cui was skeptical when he heard the innkeeper's words, after all, this is not the first time that the Treasure Pavilion has continued to be auctioned.
The innkeeper saw that the monk surnamed Cui didn't believe his words at all, and continued to gossip: "So you haven't come back for a long time, I'll sue you!
"What! Ground-level third-grade spirit soldiers and ground-level third-grade spirit skills, no wonder our Black Rock City suddenly became so lively. When the middle-aged man surnamed Cui heard the innkeeper break the news, a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face.
The innkeeper saw the surprised expression on the face of the monk surnamed Cui, and continued to gossip: "Brother Cui, I tell you, in addition to the third-grade spiritual skills and spirit soldiers of the ground level, the most important thing is that there will be three different pills in this auction, and it is also an elixir with three pills. ”
When the monk surnamed Cui heard the innkeeper's revelations, his face immediately showed an extremely shocked expression, he didn't expect that what the Treasure Pavilion auctioned would be an elixir.
For every monk, the elixir was too important to them, and at this moment, the monk's face immediately showed a burning gaze, and he said to himself: "My goodness! If I can get a pill, my cultivation will be able to be promoted from a fifth-grade spirit disciple to a sixth-grade spirit." ”
Don't daydream there, think about how many gold coins you can earn from being born and dying in the dark forest in a year, just because you also want to shoot pills, I think you should not dream!" The innkeeper saw the whimsical appearance of the monk surnamed Cui, and the cold water poured down on his head.
The innkeeper's ridicule made the monk surnamed Cui suddenly wake up, with a very depressed expression on his face, took out five silver coins from his pocket, and complained to the innkeeper: "The Treasure Pavilion has nothing to do to hold an auction, and it will cost us five times more than the guest house." ”
"Okay, brother, don't complain there, if I were you, go to the bazaar and rent a stall, and maybe make some money then." The innkeeper saw that the monk surnamed Cui reluctantly took out five silver coins, and did not forget to remind the monk surnamed Cui.
No wonder boss, your business is getting bigger and bigger, and I can only set up a stall in the market, boss! Thank you! This friendship will be remembered by Cui Jian for the rest of my life. When the monk surnamed Cui heard the innkeeper's reminder, he suddenly came to his senses, thanked the innkeeper gratefully, and then hurriedly ran out of the inn.
Not long after the news of the auction in the Treasure Pavilion came out, a caravan quietly entered the Black Rock City, and on one of the beast carts in the caravan, a female cultivator who looked very beautiful heard the chatter from time to time outside the beast cart, her brows couldn't help frowning, and she muttered in a low voice: "What the hell is going on? The pills are not enough for our Chen family now, where did Zhong'er get the pills for auction?"
Just as the female cultivator was muttering in her heart, the caravan stopped at the gate of the Treasure Pavilion, and Chen Xunzhong happily ran out of the Treasure Pavilion, walked quickly to the female cultivator, and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, you are loyal to coming, have you been fortunate all the way?"
"Zhong'er! Say it! You deceived me all the way from home to the point of abandoning the mainland, what the hell is going on? It won't be for me to come over to see this auction you are holding? By the way, I heard that this auction Treasure Pavilion will take out the elixir for auction, what is the matter with this elixir?" The female cultivator saw Chen Xunzhong standing in front of the beast cart, showing a kind smile on her kind and rigorous face, and asked Chen Xunzhong about the auction.
When Chen Xunzhong heard the nun's words, he naturally remembered Wu Hanqi, a wise gaze flashed in his eyes, and he said to the nun with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this matter will be kept secret for the time being, and when you settle down, I will give you a big surprise." ”
Chen Xunzhong's eyes were completely in her eyes, but she didn't pick it out, but said to Chen Xunzhong with a smile: "Okay! Then I'll wait until I settle down and ask you, but I can warn you, if you can't give me a satisfactory result at that time, see how I clean you up." ”
Chen Xunzhong heard the nun's warning, and replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured! I will definitely satisfy you a hundred times when the time comes! I will take you to the place where you live to settle down first, and I promise to satisfy you." ”
The beast cart stopped in front of a courtyard by Cuiping Lake, Chen Xunzhong immediately opened the roller shutter of the carriage, and said to the female cultivator sitting next to him with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is the courtyard I bought in Black Rock City, sister-in-law, I think after you live in it, you will definitely be reluctant to leave for the rest of your life." ”
When she heard Chen Xunzhong's words, she got out of the car and took a look at the surrounding environment, and when she saw those painting boats swimming on the lake, she couldn't help frowning, and asked Chen Xunzhong with a very unkind face: "Zhong'er! The environment here is really good, but the miasma caused by these painting boats, do you think I can live in such a place for a long time?"
When Chen Xunzhong heard Chen Yanran's words, he naturally knew what Chen Yanran was referring to, and his face immediately showed a weak smile, but when he thought of Wu Hanqi, Chen Xunzhong, who was weak-hearted, immediately became down-to-earth again, and said to Chen Yanran with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the quality of the scenery actually does not affect the people who look at the mood, even if the mood is good, even if the surroundings are smoky, the mood is still good, and the mood is not good, even if the surrounding environment is good, the mood is also not good." ”
"In a word, although the environment here is really not very good, I dare to guarantee that you live here comfortably, sister-in-law, and you don't even want to return to the family. ”
"Zhong'er, you're poor, I see how you make me feel happy every day when I live here, and I don't even want to go back to my family. Chen Yanran didn't believe Chen Xunzhong's words at all, and followed Chen Xunzhong into the courtyard.
After Chen Xunzhong led Chen Yanran into the courtyard, he did not take Chen Yanran directly to the place where he lived, but walked directly through the backyard, and finally passed through a small gate and came to another courtyard.
Chen Xunzhong's behavior made Chen Yanran feel very puzzled, and asked Chen Xunzhong in confusion: "Zhong'er, you are taking me there, how are you doing it mysterious?"
Chen Xunzhong took Chen Yanran into another courtyard, saw Wu Hanqi sitting in the bamboo pavilion, and hurriedly introduced Chen Yanran with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let me introduce you, this is a friend I met in Black Rock City, Wu Hanqi!"
Hearing Wu Hanqi's three words, Chen Yanran's face couldn't help but change, her eyes radiated a compelling gaze, and she asked Chen Xunzhong in a very stern tone: "Chen Xunzhong! This is the surprise you gave me?"
