Chapter 1: The Ancient Coffin
The Dragon Teng Empire is only a medium empire in the west of Xingzhou, and there are three sects, four academies and five factions in it, among which the Cangyue Sect, which is at the end of the three sects, due to the decline of the inheritance, in terms of real strength, maybe it can't even compare with the five factions, but the Cangyue Sect is the guardian sect of the Dragon Teng Empire, so it can still stand in the position of the three sects.
Hidden Dragon City, the capital of the Dragon Empire.
The bustling avenue was filled with the noisy noise, and the 12-year-old Nangong Allure and his imperial brother Nangong Xuanyuan were sitting in the largest restaurant in Qianlong City, "Songhe Tower"
The royal family of the Longteng Empire, the emperor's surname is Nangong, the emperor's name is Nangong Wentian, and Nangong Allure is the youngest prince.
Since Nangong Allure was ten years old, at this time of year, Nangong Allure would be pulled to Songhe Tower by his imperial brother Nangong Xuanyuan, just to take a look at the daughter of the Hongchen Chamber of Commerce, Su Biluo.
Nangong Allure has had no image of this imperial brother since he was a child, and it was only when he was ten years old that the emperor named him the crown prince that this imperial brother appeared beside him.
At the beginning, Nangong Allure didn't understand anything, he only thought that Su Biluo's piano sound was particularly good, but he was now 12 years old, his eldest brother was six years older than him, and under the teaching of the maid and the subtle influence of the people around him, Nangong Allure also knew that his eldest brother Nangong Xuanyuan liked Su Biluo.
However, Su Biluo, as the daughter of the Hongchen Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the Dragon Empire, has never stepped out of the door all year round, and only at this time of the year, Su Biluo will play the piano in the attic of the Chamber of Commerce.
After a while, a pleasant sound of the piano came from the attic, and the elegant sound was like a heavenly sound that swept through the heart of Nangong Allure, and Nangong Allure slowly closed his eyes and enjoyed the beautiful sound of the piano.
And Nangong Xuanyuan, who was sitting opposite him, stared at the graceful figure in the attic, his eyes showed a strange light, the figure through the curtain was evenly material, revealing a hazy beauty, and Nangong Xuanyuan's saliva was about to flow down.
After the song was finished, Nangong Allure was still reminiscing, his eldest brother Nangong Xuanyuan had already gone to the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce, because the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce would hold a large-scale auction every three months, and Su Biluo would sit in the box belonging to the Red Dust Chamber of Commerce and watch every auction.
When Nangong Xuanyuan arrived at the box belonging to the Nangong royal family, Nangong Xuanyuan had already arrived, holding two girls in his arms, Nangong Xuanyuan's hand was still wandering on the girl, and Nangong Xuancheng seemed to be used to sitting aside, quietly waiting for the auction to start.
There was a platform in the center of the auction venue, and I saw a girl wearing a split cheongsam walking up to the stage, and said with a smile, "Welcome to the Hongchen Chamber of Commerce, as we all know, today's auction is different from the usual auction, because today's auction items have three very rare things, I hope everyone can return satisfied in today's auction."
Nangong Allure's curiosity floated a little, no wonder there were many more people in this auction than before, these three things may have their own things of interest.
The first lot symbolizes a good start and should be one of those three things.
The girl lifted the red cloth that covered it, and a simple ring lay there quietly, nothing conspicuous, but the more inconspicuous it was, the more curious it was.
Listen to the girl say, "This is a spatial ring"
As soon as the four words of the space ring appeared, the audience became a sensation, the space ring, the legendary ring made of empty stone, with the law of space on it, can store items, because of the rarity of the empty stone, so only those big people have such one, and now it appears here, no wonder it will cause a sensation.
The girl said again, "Don't be too happy, this is a ring that has been recognized, although the owner of the ring is dead, but the mark on it is still there, and it will take some effort to crack it."
Although the ring has been recognized, all the people who have space rings are big people, so there must be some rare treasures in the ring.
Therefore, the value of the ring has increased a lot in an instant, and as for the mark on it, let's buy it.
At the beginning of the auction, the price mentioned 200,000 spars (the currency used in the mainland, spars, spirit stones, and immortal stones, which can be used for cultivation. One immortal stone is equal to one hundred spirit stones, and one thousand crystals are equal. )
Nangong Chengcheng was not interested in this kind of thing, because he had a space ring himself, and he had been wearing it since he was a child, and he could only use it if he had aura in his body.
After a while, the space ring was bought for 600,000 spars, and the next things were a little ordinary, except for a thousand-year-old spirit ginseng and a Zhuji Dan that he bought for his father.
Gradually, the auction came to an end, and the first of the two finales that appeared at the end caused a sensation as soon as it appeared, it was a book of exercises, this is not the point, the point is that the host girl of the auction said that this is a book of exercises for cultivating the soul.
The human body can be strengthened, but the soul can only be strengthened by some medicinal herbs or extremely rare exercise cheats. Medicinal materials are easy to find, but the exercises are legendary, although this is only a local-level exercise.
The exercises are divided into yellow, human, earth, heaven, and immortal. There are one or two of the heaven-level exercises in some large sects as treasures of the town religion, but the immortal-level exercises have never been seen, but the soul exercises are comparable to the heaven-level exercises.
As soon as the exercise appeared, he was called for a million spars, and Nangong Chengcheng also gave up after a while, but Nangong Xuanyuan kept up with the price, and finally reached three million spars.
Nangong Xuanyuan clenched his fists, a little sweat flowed from his head, swallowed his saliva, as if he had made a major decision, and said to Nangong Xuanyuan
"Little brother, my brother doesn't have much money today, can you lend me some first?"
Nangong Chengcheng glanced at Nangong Xuanyuan, his face was expressionless, and he nodded lightly.
At this time, the exercise had already been called to four million spars, and in order to prevent someone from calling a higher price, Nangong Xuanyuan directly called six million spars with the determination to win, and sure enough, after this price appeared, the audience was quiet, and no one bid again.
Not surprisingly, the girl made a final decision, and Nangong Xuanyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The last auction item was carried up by four big men, and the red cloth was lifted, and a pitch-black ancient coffin stood on the stage, this ancient coffin exuded a murderous aura that came and went, as if there were demons sleeping in it.
Nangong Allure became excited the moment the ancient coffin appeared, yes, this is it.
It turned out that Nangong Allure had a dream last night, and dreamed that a black ancient coffin appeared at the auction the next day, which seemed to be very important to him, so he specially checked the list of auction exhibits, among which there were three mysterious items, for this, Nangong Allure brought a full 20 million spars on his body, a full twelve years of savings.
Now there is really the same ancient coffin in the dream, so Nangong Allure is bound to get this ancient coffin.
The auction girl didn't explain much, just said that they didn't study what was inside, but in addition to having a keyhole that could be opened with a key, this ancient coffin was indestructible, and the master of the Yuan Infant Stage could not cause harm to it, and because the person who wanted to auction this ancient coffin was urgent, he had to take it out for auction directly.
Most of the people asked for the price out of curiosity, but they didn't do much, and even so, the price reached three million spars.
Nangong Allure is waiting, waiting for the price to stabilize.
It didn't take long for the price to be set at 3.8 million spars, and after that, no one asked for the price, and Nangong Allure directly quoted 4.5 million spars.
I didn't expect that there were people who had the same idea as Nangong Allure, and there was a female voice in another box who reported five million spars.
Nangong Chengcheng reported another six million spars, but the female voice reported seven million spars, Nangong Chengcheng gritted his teeth and blurted out "ten million spars"
The audience was shocked, 10 million spars, although everyone present had tens of millions of spars, but no one would spend 10 million spars for an ancient coffin that didn't understand anything.
Sure enough, there was silence in the box for a while, and then 11 million spars were called, but the voice changed to a strong male voice again.
There are still fifteen million spars left in Nangong Allure, so he simply reported them all, and at the same time said to the box, "I am the little prince of the royal family of the Longteng Empire, Nangong Allure, I am very interested in this ancient coffin, and I hope to give me a face."
As soon as these words came out, the voice of the box sounded again, and it changed back to a female voice, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, since it is what you want, it will be given to you, I was offended just now, I hope you don't be surprised"
Nangong Chengcheng just replied with a "thank you" and followed the waiter to pay.
Nangong Allure didn't wait for the auction to end, said hello to Nangong Xuanyuan and returned to the palace, and the ancient coffin had already been delivered by the auctioneer.
Looking at this ancient coffin so closely, that indescribable feeling once again surged into Nangong Allure's heart, familiar and cordial, touching it, there was no cold feeling, but I felt that this ancient coffin and myself were like one.
No matter how much Nangong Chengcheng tried, he couldn't open this ancient coffin, so he had no choice but to give up, such a toss, it was already dark, and Nangong Chengcheng sent the thousand-year-old spirit ginseng bought at the auction to his father and queen and fell asleep.
In three days, it will be his twelve-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and it will also be the day when he and his imperial brother Nangong Xuanyuan join the Cangyue Sect.
In the quiet night, Nangong Allure was sleeping, and the ancient coffin in the main hall emitted a light and entered the eyebrows of Nangong Allure.
