Chapter 14 Trade Fairs
Walking in the long cave passage, Jun An and Ning Xin'er finally set the name of the little bat: Xiaobai.
Jun An was very helpless about this ordinary name, but this was set by Ning Xin'er, and he didn't have a better idea.
It's just that Zeng Wenyao didn't say a word, and it can be seen that there is a natural hatred for Xiaobai.
The three of them walked out of the cave and stood in the bright sunshine, with a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe. The disciples of the Bagua Sect had already left cleanly, and even the elders who were guarding the entrance of the cave had already evacuated.
Jun An smiled and said to Zeng Wenyao: "It seems that your senior brothers really don't care about you, are you ready to return to the sect now?" ”
Zeng Wenyao shook his head: "My master is dead, and the sect is now dead when I am also dead, so it is not interesting for me to go back, it is better to go with you." ”
Jun An said: "We are going to a far place, and there are many dangers along the way, but I am afraid that it will delay you." ”
Zeng Wenyao said: "The four seas are home, and it is the life of a monk in itself, so it is worth it wherever you go." ”
Ning Xin'er didn't have an opinion, and the three of them walked together, crossed this deep forest, turned over a section of yellow earth, and finally saw a corner of the city.
Anguo City
This is Anguo City, the first city to enter the interior from the Northern Desert, in other words, the farthest city in the northwest of the Xia Kingdom.
Although the geographical location is remote, Anguo City is in a prominent position, it is a place for merchants to rest, a place for soldiers and civilians to garrison the border, a place for tourists to gather in the rivers and lakes, but it is also very prosperous, not inferior to many cities in the interior.
When the three of them entered the city, they found an inn, and Jun An took out two taels of silver from his money bag and threw it to the shopkeeper: "Arrange two rooms." ”
Of these two rooms, one is reserved for Ning Xin'er, and the other is for Jun'an and Zeng Wenyao. The shopkeeper enthusiastically took them into the room, and when he saw the three of them dressed up, he couldn't help but say attentively, "Are the three Daoists here to participate in the 'Monk Auction'?" ”
"Monk auction?" Jun Anqi said, "What is that?" ”
Xiao Er saw that the three of them didn't understand, and said a little ostentatiously: "The Taoist masters didn't know it before, our Anguo City is a gathering place for all kinds of people from all over the world, of course, there are also monks, they often gather together and exchange their items, and slowly such an auction is formed." ”
"It's just something ordinary, right?" Zeng Wenyao said with some disdain.
Xiao Er smiled all over his face: "There are some magic weapons, spiritual pets, and even pills that we mortals can use, which can cure all diseases, but unfortunately we can't exchange anything." ”
Jun An was interested: "When will the auction start?" Where exactly? ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It will start tomorrow, there is a monk square in the center of Anguo City, I am a mortal, I have never been there, it is said that there are people who receive there, as long as it is said that it is a monk who participates in the auction, someone will arrange it." ”
Jun An nodded, took out two taels of silver from the money bag and handed it to Xiao Er: "We just came here, so please take us to the Monk's Square tomorrow." ”
The shopkeeper took the silver in surprise and joy, and nodded hurriedly: "You are too generous, this is no problem, I can help you find someone when you get there." ”
After the three of them settled down, Zeng Wenyao naturally shared a room with Jun An, and he asked, "Is Brother Dao really planning to go to the auction?" That's not a good thing. ”
Jun An smiled: "Since you have arrived here, you naturally want to join in the fun and have a long experience." Don't stay at home all the time, it should be good to take a walk and see more. ”
Zeng Wenyao showed a disapproving expression, and Jun An didn't pay attention to it anymore, and carefully considered his own affairs. He even had the whim to put the only remaining spirit stone in the money bag, and after taking it out, he hoped that another one would appear, but there was nothing else in the money bag except two taels of silver.
He thought that if he had to use up the spirit stone, the money bag would become one out of nothing. So, Jun An meditated cross-legged and absorbed the spiritual power in the spirit stone, but unfortunately, except for a little increase in cultivation, there was no change in the money bag.
"It seems that the spirit stone has to be earned by itself, it's really difficult!" Jun An sighed, thought of this, and fell asleep in a daze.
Early the next morning, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and told the three of them to go to the Monk's Square after dinner. Ning Xin'er is still dressed as a man, and she said that this can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
In fact, the monk's square is very close to the inn, and the shopkeeper only needs to ask the shopkeeper for a short period of leave, and he is grateful to Jun An and others, and he is very courteous to a monk in the square: Dao Ye, these three are also going to participate in the auction.
This monk has reached the advanced qi refining stage, looked at Jun An and the others, and nodded: "The auction starts today, and it will last for three days in total, each of you should pay a spirit stone ticket!" ”
Jun An was very embarrassed, he originally had a spirit stone, but yesterday he used it to improve his cultivation, he was really shy in his pocket, so he pleaded with the monk: "Can you replace it with silver?" ”
The monk looked at him in surprise and said angrily, "Do you use silver to absorb aura?" I don't understand the rules at all. ”
"Here you go!" "Here you go!" At this moment, suddenly Zeng Wenyao and Ning Xin'er both took out three low-level spirit stones and handed them to the monk.
"Oops! I didn't see that you two are local tyrants! Jun An sighed speechlessly. Ning Xin'er's origin is unknown, but judging by her bearing, she must not be an ordinary family. Jun An was not particularly surprised that she was able to take out three spirit stones, but Zeng Wenyao was a little monk who had been excluded, and he even took out the spirit stones boldly, which really impressed him.
The janitor also felt that what he had just said was a bit excessive, and he was a little embarrassed after being slapped in the face. He looked at the two people who handed over the spirit stone, hesitated for a moment, and still took Zeng Wenyao's. He always felt that Ning Xin'er was too handsome and couldn't bear to use his money. In the cultivation world, appearance is also justice.
After the monk took the spirit stone, he led the two of them to the depths of the square, and said, "This square has a prohibition, so you can't see anything outside, but it's big inside, don't get lost, you three." ”
"In addition, the real auction will not start until the third day, and there are many rare treasures there, although it is not as good as the big auction in the capital, but it is also an annual event here."
"It's a pity that I don't have any spirit stones." Jun An said secretly in his heart.
The monk seemed to see his thoughts, and he also felt a little guilty about what he had just said, and hurriedly said: "Today and tomorrow, there are stalls outside the square that can be traded, and if you have any good things, you can trade them out in these two days, so we will charge tickets to the monks who enter the venue." ”
Jun An's eyes lit up, and he looked at the stall in front of him, and it was really bustling with a variety of patterns.
