The next day, the morning glow was thousands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Ling packed his luggage, prepared enough dry food, carried the bloodthirsty Nether Sword on his back, and hung the Hell Ghost Axe on his waist, glanced at Xiaogushan Town, where he had been staying for nearly half a month, and said softly: "Let's go, go to Zhongdu City." ”

The little fox got up early, bought a handful of sugar gourds, and shouted with a smile: "Let's go! ”

Cheng Xuan rested in Xiaogushan Town for several days, his body recovered, his mood improved a lot, and buried the pain of deep self-blame for Master Ayaluo's death in his heart, and followed Jiang Ling and Xiaoli to Zhongdu City.

Cheng Xuan didn't know the identity of the little fox along the way, and treated it as a little sister, talking and laughing, and finally showed a long-lost smile.

Xiaoxi also likes Cheng Xuan, a strong sister, and asks questions from time to time that only they can understand. Jiang Ling couldn't interject, looked helpless, walked in front, and thought: "It's okay to have a little fox to enlighten her, which can help her get out of the shadow left by the death of Aunt Ayaluo as soon as possible." ”

Although he didn't understand why Cheng Xuan said that he didn't want to return to the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect, Jiang Ling had agreed to Aunt Daoluo's dying request, and he would definitely do his best to escort Cheng Xuan back to Shushan safely, which could be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

After getting along for half a month, Jiang Ling often saw Cheng Xuan looking at the window in a daze in his spare time, sighing, and seemed to have something on his mind. Seeing that Cheng Xuan didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask, and he always felt that the girl in front of him who had a similar fate to himself must have a hard time.

Who doesn't have a hard time? It's just that he doesn't want to easily spit out the heavy thoughts that are pressed in his heart! I'd rather bear it silently than let people see my cowardly part.

Traveling all the way from early in the morning, walking for seven or eight hours in a row, after many green mountains, the original one-day journey, the two of them and one fox only took half a day to complete.

Looking from afar, a magnificent city appears in front of you, and the towering city wall is prominently engraved with the three big characters of "Zhongdu City", which seems to be greeting pedestrians and welcoming guests from all walks of life.

Zhongdu City is different from ordinary cities, there are no soldiers, no door cards, no sects, and it is not under the jurisdiction of any force, and it is really a free land.

Passing through the symbolic castle tower, the street is lined with neat shops and goods, and pedestrians walk unhindered.

Here, there are not too many rules to follow, but there is an unwritten rule that violators die, that is, in the auction market of the Central Metropolitan Court, no one is allowed to make trouble, let alone kill people, otherwise, they will be hunted down and killed by the world.

The reason for this provision is to maintain the signboard of the free market in the middle capital, and to ensure the fairness of the auction market in the middle capital.

This also implies an unspoken rule, that is, the treasures that cannot be snatched in the auction market of the Central Metropolitan Court can be secretly snatched by the bidders when they leave the Central Courtyard.

As for whether to grab it or not, it has to rely on strength to speak, who let this area have no one to govern, kill people and set fires, idlers just bury their heads in their own ways, and they won't care more.

Therefore, sellers who have rare treasures to sell often entrust the items to the Zhongdu Yuan first, pay a certain amount of gold coins, and let them bid for the auction, which can not only avoid revealing their identities, but also get a large amount of gold coins to buy the items they want.

The Central Metropolitan Court accepted the entrustment, carried out strict secret orders, strictly forbade the identity of the seller, and was only responsible for selling the items at the highest possible price, and then drawing a certain amount of remuneration to maintain the operation of the Central Metropolitan Court.

Some people may question, is this special auction method not very strong people come to challenge? This point has been tried, but those who have tried it have become cold corpses.

It is rumored that the person sitting in the Zhongdu Courtyard is an elder who is very profound, as for what Taoism, no one knows, only that a few years ago, there was a loose cultivator who was not afraid of death, and his strength reached the peak of the Solid Spirit Realm.

The next day, at dawn, everyone saw the body of the loose cultivator who was not afraid of death hanging in the Zhongdu City Tower, exposed to the sun for seven days and seven nights, until he had gangrene, and let people put it down and throw it into the rocky hill.

The corpse was eaten by a mad dog, and the tragic situation was shocking.

After this incident, no one dared to make a move in the auction market of the Central Capital Court, and even if they saw extremely rare items, no one dared to risk their lives to challenge the mysterious elders, but endured waiting to get out of the Central Capital City and then trying to snatch it.

Jiang Ling also heard this story along the way, and he was in awe of this mysterious elder in his heart, guessing that the strength of this elder who could kill a peak cultivator of the Solid Spirit Realm without much effort was not less than, at least he had reached the Soul Transformation Realm, and throughout the world, how many Soul Cultivators could reach the Spirit Transformation Realm?

The little fox pouted, took the unfinished sugar gourd, approached a steamed bun shop, sniffed the meat, saliva flowed out of the ground, and reached out to take it.

Unexpectedly, the woman who sold the buns, the corners of her mouth twitched, she took a stick, hit her, and shouted: "Do you want to eat? Give money, a bun, fifty silver coins." ”

The little fox withdrew his hand in time, angry, and was about to use the 'soul-snatching eyes' to confuse the woman who sold the buns, but was stopped by Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling leaned over and whispered: "There is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden here, don't easily reveal your identity and strength." ”

The little fox nodded, his eyes still not taking off the steaming meat bun.

Jiang Ling smiled helplessly, fortunately, when he eliminated the soldiers and bandits in Xiaogushan, he took a bag of gold coins, spent a lot in the store in Xiaogushan, and spent a lot for Cheng Xuan's treatment, leaving a dozen gold coins, otherwise he would really be hungry.

He took out a gold coin and threw it to the sturdy woman, saying, "Twenty meat buns." ”

The woman took the gold coin, took back the stick, smiled, skillfully took out twenty meat buns, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Look at the three of them, they are spiritual cultivators! Hehe, it's no wonder that the triennial auction held by the Central Capital is about to begin, and there have been many spiritual cultivators from all over the city recently. ”

Jiang Ling and Cheng Xuan nodded, did not speak, sat down, and rested.

The little fox couldn't wait, took a meat bun in each hand, and ate it with a smile.

Jiang Ling picked up a meat bun, handed it to Cheng Xuan, and said with a smile: "Eat! After a long day's journey, I must be hungry." ”

Cheng Xuan was a little embarrassed to accept Jiang Ling's care along the way, but his stomach was really unhappy, and he was indeed hungry. She smiled, took the meat bun, and thanked: "Wood melon seeds, I am dragging you down, I'm really sorry, when I find the elder of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect, you can go!"

Jiang Ling seemed to want to speak, but he couldn't say it, and said lightly: "Eh." ”

The woman selling the buns heard the words Shushan, and saw that Cheng Xuan was dressed specially, and said politely: "Did you just say those Taoist priests of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect? They still ate buns here just now, and they didn't go long." ”

Jiang Ling was overjoyed, pulled the little fox, and shouted: "Chase!" Cheng Xuan threw down the uneaten buns and followed with the 'Changhong Sword'.

The woman turned around and was about to bring out the buns again to send to the guests, but saw that there was only a bun of buns left on the table of the original three, and there was no one in sight, so she wondered: "It's really strange, the old lady's meat buns are made of authentic wild dog meat, there is no reason not to eat it!"

Before the little fox bun was finished, it was pulled away by Jiang Ling, a little unhappy, pouting in protest, complaining: "Isn't it just looking for a group of stinky tofu? I can find it by sniffing with my nose." ”

Jiang Ling smiled, touched the little fox's head, and said in a low voice: "I know that the little fox has great powers, but if you want to use your powers, do you have to become that?" There are many people here, and good people and bad people are mixed together, so it's better not to easily provoke right and wrong." ”

The little fox knew that Jiang Ling was saying that if she wanted to use her sense of smell to track her prey in a large area, she needed to turn into a nine-tailed fox to do it, and she also realized that she should not be too conspicuous, so she lowered her head and did not respond.

A group of drunken and reckless men, staggering from side to side, wandering down the streets, looking to be well-known local ruffians and hooligans, and the small stalls avoided them one after another, for fear of provoking these unreasonable fellows and smashing things.

One of the drunken men had a knife across his waist, his face was cross-faced, and there was a deep scar on his face, if he didn't look carefully, Jiang Ling thought that the scarred face had been resurrected.

The drunk man swayed, drunk and starry, saw that Cheng Xuan was quite beautiful, and suddenly his fingers itched, and he deliberately fell to Cheng Xuan, who was walking on the side, and hit Cheng Xuan's body, with a fierce face, and roared: "This girl, you hurt me, lose money." ”

Cheng Xuan pushed the drunk man away, looked angry, clenched the Changhong sword, and said angrily: "You bumped into it." ”

The drunk man took the opportunity to reach out and attack the bulging twin peaks on Cheng Xuan's chest, squinted, and said with a smile: "The girl hit me with her chest, and she still doesn't admit it?"

The corners of Jiang Ling's mouth lifted lightly, and he quickly made a move, blocking in front of Cheng Xuan, clamping the drunkard's outstretched hand between his two fingers, and said with a smile: "Are you provoking?"

The drunk man felt from his fingers that the young man who suddenly came out of the ground was not simple, his eyes were stunned, he woke up a lot, and he just wanted to withdraw his palm, but he found that he couldn't pull it if he didn't dare to exert any force, and he turned his face sideways, and hummed: "Let go!"

When the other ruffians saw that the boss's palm was clamped, they raised their fists one after another, and shouted in order to come over: "Boy, do you know who we are? ”

"Smoke him, don't say more. ”

Jiang Ling smiled disdainfully, turned his fingers, and pushed away with his palm, only to hear a sound of bone cracking, and the drunk man sat down on the ground in pain, and his palm was obviously broken.

"You... Who are you? The drunkard was furious, gritted his teeth, and crossed.

Jiang Ling smiled contemptuously: "Remember, my name is Netherworld!"

A cloud of black qi surged in Jiang Ling's eyes, and the face of the drunk man who was sitting on the ground changed dramatically in fright, and he roared: "Netherworld power, go quickly, this person's strength is very high." ”

When a group of ruffians saw Jiang Ling wipe off the drunk's hand with a light finger, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, they took a step away, staring at it deadly, and were in awe of this young man with a black sword on his back and a black axe on his waist.
