Chapter 21: Let's Auction
"That's true!"
The turtle bottom dragon pattern plate was accidentally obtained by Zhou Ji, but after studying it for a long time, he didn't understand its use. There was no other valuable thing in his storage bag, so he really had no choice but to take out that thing, wanting to try his luck, but he didn't expect Nian Xiao to agree.
"A gentleman is quick to speak, but to include those things, and ...... Brother Zhou's storage bag seems to be an extraordinary product. Nian Xiao quipped as he glanced at the storage bag on Zhou Ji's waist.
"It's good to say, Brother Nian has good eyesight, this is a good product, since Brother Nian likes it, take it. Zhou Ji reacted immediately, took off the storage bag and put the turtle bottom dragon pattern plate and other things into it, including the book (it should be regarded as a benefit for Nian Xiao, man), and handed it to Nian Xiao with both hands.
There was no need for Nian Xiao to speak, Sisi had already taken the initiative to jump on Zhou Ji's shoulder, shaking her head and tail at him, which made him very unhappy.
Zhou Ji hung up his coquettish smile and said, "Then don't disturb the young brother, the younger brother will leave." While talking, half of Zhou Ji's body had already gone out, for fear that Nian Xiao would regret it.
After Zhou Ji left, Nian Xiao threw his storage bag into the new storage bag, and then lay down on the bed depressed. Although Sisi had played him many times, after all, he had feelings, and he was taken away by Zhou Ji like this, and Nian Xiao felt lost in his heart.
Recalling the situation just now, Sisi seemed to hint at something to him, it could be said that Sisi dominated the exchange he made with Zhou Ji, not because of the turtle bottom dragon pattern plate of the nine coiling dragons on the Dripping Bridge. But what Sisi secretly revealed, he couldn't guess for a while, but Sisi must have a reason for doing this, you must know that Sisi is a spirit beast of more than three orders, and the beast clan will have their own thoughts except for the first order, and their intelligence is similar to that of humans.
Thinking of this, Nian Xiao prepared to meditate and practice today, pondering how to keep Yuanmo flowing and circulating at any time.
At that moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Zhou Ji, don't be cheap and sell well, I don't have anything, don't fight my idea again. Nian Xiao thought that Zhou Ji was coming to talk to him, and said angrily.
Unexpectedly, it was the voice of Nian Qingteng, "Xiao'er, pack up and prepare to go to the Sun and Moon Hall in Longyuan." ”
Nian Xiao sighed, pushed open the door and walked out, only to see that the courtyard was full of people from the four major families, Zhou Ji saw Nian Xiao, and walked over with a smile, with a silk on his shoulder standing looking around.
Nian Xiao glared at Zhou Ji angrily, and turned his head to look away.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the city lord has asked you to discuss that matter, and please move to the Sun and Moon Hall. The leader came out into the courtyard and bowed and spoke aloud.
"Let's go. Li Shan, the third leader of the Li family, roared loudly, and the group marched towards the Sun and Moon Hall under the leadership of the leader. Along the way, Zhou Ji couldn't stop smiling at Nian Xiaomei, but Nian Xiao pretended to be angry and ignored him.
After a few moments, they arrived at the door of a large family's house. As soon as you enter the door, there is only a huge house built in the middle of the huge courtyard, and the large plaque above the lintel reads "The sun and the stars and the moon change" four lines of books, and the golden font is shining, indicating that Longyuan City is thriving.
As soon as he entered the door, Nian Xiao urged Yuan Mo, and through keen insight, he found that in addition to the dozens of monks on the bright side, there were more monks lurking in the shadows in this courtyard, and their cultivation was not low, especially the guards of the Sun and Moon Hall were the strictest, and he faintly felt that there were at least eight monks from the Jade White Realm hidden in the shadows. The rich bookish aura was mixed with murderous aura everywhere, and it was simply pervasive.
Nian Xiao deeply realized the sentence "If you say the wrong thing in Longyuan City, your life will be in danger".
"You have worked hard all the way, so I will prepare a little wine to wash the dust for you. Entering the Sun and Moon Hall, a lean man with a short beard immediately greeted him with a smile and a fist salute.
The Sun and Moon Hall is decorated in an antique manner, and there is not a single monk in sight, only three classes of maids ready to serve, ten people in each class, and a leader in each class.
"Lord Xue Cheng is polite. Young Teng and the others returned the salute with their fists and sat down in turn.
Young Teng sat on the top left, Zhou Xuan sat down next to each other, Li Shan sat on the right, Situ Beifeng sat down at the bottom, and Xue Qing, the lord of Longyuan City, sat in the middle of the main seat. Nian Xiao sat behind his father, Zhou Ji cheekily followed, and Nian Qingteng glanced at it and ignored it.
The status of each family is evident from the seats. Although the cultivation of the young vine is not as good as Li Shan's heart white realm, he staged a good show in the three-foot forest, so he sat on the top of the left without humility, which is the so-called respect for the left.
Although Li Shan was not convinced, he had no choice but to sit on the right side of the head because of Xue's gentle face. Situ Beifeng is young and handsome, and his heart realm is not inferior to Li Shan, but he is a junior after all, so he sat down. And Zhou Xuanyutong had a low realm, and he sat on the left side of the lower head with his predecessor (it should have been Situ Beifeng), but he was very unhappy about how his son ran into the team of the Nian family.
"Hey, this Xue Qingrou looks quite gentlemanly, why did his parents give him such a name, just like a girl, hey......" Zhou Ji whispered to Nian Xiao, and at the end he stuck out his tongue and shook his head, looking incredible.
Nian Xiao was also wondering, seeing Zhou Ji's expression, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Nian Teng's electric gaze immediately shot over, making him tremble.
"Pick it up. Xue snapped his fingers softly, and a maid leader came out with a jade plate, which was covered with a red handkerchief inlaid with gold edges, but it couldn't stop the faint fragrance emanating from it.
The maid placed the jade plate on the nanmu pillar next to Xue Qingrou, and retreated to the back to stand.
"Brother Zhou, you know what is in the jade plate. Nian Xiao stared at the jade plate curiously and asked in a low voice.
"Damn, you don't even know this, do you really think that it is already in the bag of your Nian family, tell you, the jade plate contains a thousand times of life pills, three pins of pills, which have the effect of resurrecting the dead. Zhou Ji took a sip fiercely, hating the way that iron does not become steel.
To add, there are a total of one to nine grades of pills, but the pills are three poisonous, and people in the pen and ink world do not rely too much on pills.
"Come back to life, my good man, I said why is there such a big movement, the four great families are here at the same time. Nian Xiao was so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out.
Zhou Ji coughed dryly and said: "It's a bit exaggerated to come back to life, let me tell you this, if a strong person in the heart pass realm is beaten to only one breath, and eats this thing, he will be able to jump as alive as before." ”
Xue coughed softly and said: "Presumably everyone knows the value of this Thousand Lives Pill, and now the representatives of the four great families are here, what method to use, please discuss and decide for yourself, Xue is the same as before, only a witness." Suddenly, without seeing any movement from Xue Qingrou, the red handkerchief arrived in his hand, revealing a yellow pill the size of a pea in a crystal clear ice box, and the fragrance of the air suddenly filled the entire room.
Everyone's necks involuntarily stretched out to look at the pill, but no one stepped forward to snatch it, which showed that this Xue Qingrou still had some means.
No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Xue closed his eyes softly, just like he said to be a witness. The bearded Li Shan was an anxious man, he became irritable, shook his head, and shouted loudly: "My Lao Li is a rough man, in my opinion, he can fight, just understand, whoever is powerful will take it." ”
Among the people of the four great families here, only Situ Beifeng has the same realm as him, but after all, he entered late and his skills are unstable, and although Nian Qingteng has the feat of three feet of forest, after all, his cultivation is one star boundary lower than him, not to mention Zhou Xuan, the martial arts he proposed is actually the most beneficial to him.
Situ Beifeng arched his hand and said: "Seniors, the little nephew is a junior, and he shouldn't offend the seniors, but this Sun and Moon Hall is a precious thing that is rare for thousands of years. ”
The so-called martial arts is to roll up the sleeves and do it directly; while the literary fighting is to collect but not distribute the exercises that are displayed, only to accumulate momentum, not to release it, and only judge the power from the momentum, and distinguish the superior. Compared with martial arts, Wendou has a higher realm, Situ Beifeng said this, showing his strong strength, although his words are polite, but he wants to move the ground on the heads of these seniors. As soon as these words came out, Li Shan's limelight was immediately suppressed.
"Situ Xian's nephew is right. Zhou Xuan, who had not spoken, said approvingly, and Situ Beifeng cast a look that he didn't understand.
Zhou Xuan said: "The full name of the Sun and Moon Hall is changing day by day, symbolizing that the people of Longyuan City live in peace and prosperity under the governance of Lord Xue, and the road is not left behind, and the door is not closed at night, and it is thriving day by day, and it is becoming more and more prosperous day by day. If we dance with knives and guns here in order to compete for a mere three-grade pill, wouldn't it be to destroy this meaning and not give face to the Xue City Lord, do you say yes? Zhou Xuan quietly put on a high hat for Xue Qingrou.
Everyone nodded yes, and Zhou Xuan continued: "This martial arts fight is naturally impossible, and Wen Dou is not very smart, because after all, Wen Dou has to perform exercises, and there will still be destruction, isn't it about the same as the effect of martial arts, breaking the meaning, according to the old man, it is better to ...... Verbal competition, howabout. ”
Oral competition, that is, oral recitation of the exercises, according to the level of the exercises to determine the winners and losers. The four great families were abandoned by the emperor ancestor at the same time, but their ancestors were all figures on the holy pen list, although Zhou's elective cultivation was low, but if you test the exercises, relying on the strength of the family, it is really hard to say who loses and who wins. Zhou chose this trick to successfully balance his disadvantages and put everyone on the same running line. Because of Xue's gentle face, no one can refute it.
Zhou Xuan's suggestion had an absolute advantage over Nian Xiao, but he thought about it and said with some hesitation: "Why don't you auction it, based on the heavenly coins." ”
(I would like to recommend it by the way, thank you!)
