Chapter 35 Maps
The auctioneer picked it up with two fingers, looked at it in all his sights, and said with a smile: "Before commissioning, we have actually confirmed that we have found the location of the entrance on the map. ”
There was an uproar in the audience, and someone asked, "Why did you keep this map when you have found it?"
The auctioneer stroked his beard, "Naturally, we went to explore first, but we couldn't even get into the entrance." So we speculate that it takes a medium or some way to open. And that location is the Qianpu Lake in the west of Tianlan City, because of the request of the client, this time this map is not charged, and many copies are copied for free to everyone here. I only hope that there are capable people here who can open the treasure gate, it is estimated that this should be a large formation space. ”
How could the people present give up such a good thing, they were all flattering, but Xia Ji was thinking about how pies could fall from the sky.
After a bell ringing, the auction is over.
Slowly walked out of the auction room, stood at the doorway, looked up at the slightly dim sky, let out a long breath, and then turned to walk towards one of the auction room's living rooms.
"Let's get what we bought first. Xia Ji muttered to himself as he walked.
Entering the living room, Xia Ji handed over his brand to a maid, and after clarifying his intentions, he was respectfully invited in by the latter.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment, the auction items are being delivered. The maid put a cup of warm tea on the table beside Xia Ji, and then withdrew with a smile.
Slightly closed, Xia Ji's fingers slowly tapped on the tabletop, so soon after, several footsteps suddenly came into the hall from far and near, and the fingers gradually stopped, Xia Ji opened his eyes and looked at the curtain that was lifted, where a somewhat short and thin old man was leading two maids and walked in with a smile.
"I'm the head of the house, here is the items auctioned by the gentleman and the map we gave away, please take an inventory. Seeing Xia Ji, who was wrapped in a black robe, the old man stepped forward and said with a smile.
Xia Ji confirmed, paid the money, picked up the things, and walked out of the hall quickly without waiting to keep it.
"Alas, I didn't expect that I was still poor", thinking of the money spent by those guys in the auction hall, Xia Ji couldn't help but feel speechless for this gap.
Well, someone is following him, Xia Ji found that someone was following him from the auction hall, and after turning a few corners, he was still one familiar person, and he realized that he was being followed.
Soon after finding a random place and flashing into the path, at the entrance of the trail, several figures also hurriedly rushed out, their eyes swept inside, but they didn't see any figures, they were stunned, and with a wave of their hands, the figures hurriedly dispersed, looking for the missing target.
"This can also track people?"
Easily shook off the tracking behind, Xia Ji laughed disdainfully in his heart, changed his clothes, walked around the street, and confirmed that there was no follower before returning to the inn.
Back at the inn, Xia Ji first opened the soul stone and the void liquid, and tried it with some means, there was indeed nothing wrong with it, after all, it was a regular auction.
Take out the map, Xia Ji didn't believe that someone would give the opportunity so selflessly, although he couldn't find the other party's design, but if he wasn't greedy, he wouldn't be in danger, so he threw the map out directly, whoever likes to go!
But the development of things often does not shift according to the thoughts of the individual, according to the universal rule of Murphy's Law, if there is a possibility that something will go bad, no matter how small that likelihood, it will always happen.
Having already seen the grand occasion of the auction in Yancheng, Xia Ji was ready to leave after a day of rest.
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door from the guest room where Xia Ji lived, Xia Ji frowned, but he still opened the door, and it was Murong Qianqian who was waiting outside the room.
"Young Master Xia Ji, are you free in the afternoon? You are not familiar with the place in Yancheng, let me take you for a walk around the city!. Murong Qianqian, who was outside the door, saw Xia Ji who opened the door, and looked at him with bright beautiful eyes.
"Let's call me Xia Ji, Gongzi's hearing is panicked. Xia Ji said with a smile,
After thinking about it, Xia Ji felt that it was good for him to have an acquaintance to lead the way this afternoon, just to see what was the difference between the scenery of Yancheng and Sifang City, so he said: "I happen to be free in the afternoon, and I want to visit Yancheng, if I can get the guidance of Miss Murong, it will naturally be my honor." ”
Hearing this, a shallow smile obviously appeared on the corner of Murong Qianqian's lips, and she immediately nodded and said, "Then do you have anything else to prepare?"
Xia Ji naturally didn't want the beauties to wait more, so after a little tidying up, he went out and went to the city together.
There are not many things needed this time, just some detailed maps of the vicinity and some supplementary information, after all, he can't stay in Yancheng all the time, so he still has to understand the surrounding terrain and the range distribution of many demon beasts, so he can plan the best route. Under the guidance of Murong Qianqian, she quickly bought all these things.
After that, it's time to visit the attractions and listen to Murong Qianqian explain the background story and so on.
Just before the trip, there was a sudden scene of crowds gathering in front of me, and after a careful look, I suddenly saw that not far ahead, there were more than a dozen people coming, and it turned out to be Feng Ling and his party swaggering through the market.
Xia Ji wondered if the other party had no fear, or if he had other plans, it wouldn't be that people were stupid and had a lot of money! You must know that although the auction was in hand, it was inevitable that someone would want to use another means to obtain it.
After Feng Ling and the others left Yancheng, a black shadow followed quietly, like a bone drive, no matter what, they couldn't get rid of it.
Xia Ji naturally didn't care about them, after learning about many famous scenery, it was already sunset, and after having a meal, Xia Ji sent Murong Qianqian to his home and said goodbye at the door.
"Are we friends now?" Murong Qianqian asked in an expectant tone.
"Of course, it's an honor to be friends with Miss Qianqian. Xia Ji did not hesitate and said directly. After all, this girl's mind is not bad, and she went shopping with her for a day today, so she can be regarded as an ordinary friend!
"Okay! Then don't call me Miss Qianqian, just call me Qianqian! Then I'll come to you tomorrow." Murong Qianqian said with joy.
"Qianqian, it's not possible to shoot tomorrow, I'm leaving tomorrow morning" Xia Ji refused.
"Ahh
"I guess so! I don't know how long it will take. Xia Ji didn't hide it, he was going to study, and he should pass by here on the way back.
"Then I'll see you off tomorrow morning. ”
"Don't bother, I don't like the feeling of saying goodbye. Xia Ji refused again.
"Okay! goodbye then. The fragrance flowed, and the woman's voice spread with a hint of faintness.
Xia Ji waved his hand, watched the other party enter and closed the door, then turned to leave.
Unbeknownst to him, behind the door that had just been closed, there seemed to be a figure watching him leave.
