Chapter 73: The Head

Unlike the bustle in the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, the rest of Yunding City has long been silent, except for the watchmen and patrolling city guards, there is hardly anyone else on the street.

A city guard held a lantern in his hand, sighed, and muttered sleepily: "It's been a few days, and I haven't even seen the shadow of a resentful corpse, I don't think the resentful corpse has long dared to come." ”

Since the appearance of the resentful corpses, patrols have been intensified in the city, especially near the city walls, which are arranged like iron buckets, and not even a fly can fly in, let alone the resentful corpses.

Therefore, he felt that the patrol in the city was no longer necessary.

The companions around him also sighed when they heard this, who doesn't want to have a hot kang head for their wives and children at night, so they have to run out to blow this cold wind, but there is no way, tomorrow is the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival, I don't know how many nobles have come to the city, if something goes wrong, who can take care of it.

He was thinking like this, when suddenly, there seemed to be some movement on the side of the house, as if something had stepped on the tile, "Who's there!" ”

He immediately scolded, and his companions around him were also completely sleepy, and hurriedly carried the lantern to shine it over and said, "What's the matter?" Where is there anybody? ”

A gust of wind blew, the candle flame in the lantern flickered, flickering and dimming, the two stared at the roof for a long time, but found nothing, the person carrying the lantern could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time said to his partner: "You have heard it wrong, there is no movement." ”

"I ......" The other party touched the back of his cold neck, and also wondered, could it be that he heard it wrong.

Suddenly, he touched his neck with his hand, and his eyes fixed on the shadow on the ground in front of them, and the bright moon hung high, even if there was no lantern, there was enough moonlight to illuminate the way, and clearly cast their shadows on the ground in front of them.

The shadows of the two of them were overlapped by a black shadow that was one taller than them, and the coolness on the back of his neck became clearer and clearer, like human breath for a while.

The man carrying the lantern saw that his face suddenly changed, and he wondered, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he lifted the lantern and shone it in his face, only to see a pair of red eyes poking down from above, followed by a head full of hideous smiles.

"Ahh The guard screamed in horror, shook the lantern in his hand, and sat down on the ground, only to see a bloody mouth bite off half of his companion's face.

Brains and blood poof, smacked his face!

"Ah!! Resentful corpses!! ”

A cry of horror sounded, and the man almost turned around and ran, but as soon as he turned his head and didn't run a few steps, he saw a terrible monster standing in front of him, covered in black gas.

He collapsed to the ground in fright, completely forgetting how to call his companions who were patrolling the other street, only to see the grudge bared its fangs and pounce on him.

"Ah!!h The frightened and paralyzed man covered his head, feeling that he was going to die this time, and he would definitely be bitten off his head, just like his companion just now.

However, instead of the terrible pain of imagination, several explosions sounded with a bang.

He lowered his arm in horror and looked at the resentful corpse, and saw that the resentful corpse that had pounced on him had fallen a few meters away, and there were still many sparks and stars flickering around.

"Tsk, that's a tough thing."

A scruffy, beggar-like man stood aside with a flask and snorted.

The man looked at him, then at the corpse, and before he could speak, a roaring roar sounded behind him, followed by a powerful force that directly overturned him.

"Ahh Tumbling all the way, he was directly lifted a few meters away by the wave of qi set off by the strong roar, and then looked up to see that the beggar was still standing in place without moving, and when he looked closely, there seemed to be layers of dark red ripples in front of the other party, blocking the roar of the resentful corpse like a shield.

Yes, it's a cultivator!

The city guard was overjoyed and felt hopeful.

"Don't run yet, go and call someone, are you waiting to be eaten again?" The beggar took another sip of his gourd, but his voice was cold and strong.

The city guard trembled, jumped up and ran away.

"Tsk, out of breath!" Drunk and disdainful, he looked at the two resentful corpses on the left and right, "I didn't expect this city wall to be guarded like this, you brutes can still come in, it seems that I guessed correctly, you have another way, right?" ”

But the only thing that answered him was two roaring roars, and ghostly attacks.

Leaving aside the outside matters for the time being, the auction in the Treasure Chamber of Commerce has reached its climax.

Seeing that many treasures were auctioned off at a high price, Bai Qianyu was very curious, what kind of high price can she get for her three Zhuyan Pills?

At the same time, she glanced at Rong Ye sitting beside her again.

Originally, after he went out, Bai Qianyu thought that he would not come back, but he didn't expect that he would not only come back, but also not leave.

Although she was depressed, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she could only go with him.

"To a guest officer, at the request of the owner, this auction will temporarily add a treasure." Mo Niang's voice sounded below, and she suddenly pulled Bai Qianyu's thoughts back, and looked at the auction stage below again.

Secret passage in the heart; "It's coming!"

I saw a maid bring a treasure covered with a red cloth to Mo Niang, and Mo Niang continued to say with a smile; "This treasure, originally our owner didn't plan to make a move, but seeing that the adults were so enthusiastic about the activities of our Treasure Chamber of Commerce, they were willing to endure the pain and cut their love, hoping that in the end, there would be a destined person who could get this treasure."

"What kind of treasure is this! Can you make your owner endure the pain of love? As soon as Mo Niang's words were finished, someone below immediately said.

Mo Niang said: "It's not a secret, this treasure is what our host is going to leave for the future lady, if it weren't for the fact that you are so enthusiastic tonight, I'm afraid that even the little woman won't be able to see her true face." ”

"Ouch, it looks like it's for women?" There are smart people who immediately heard the clues from Mo Niang's words.

"For women? How much is that worth? "There are also people who are dismissive.

"This is not necessarily, sometimes the things used by women are much more expensive than those used by men!"

"That is, you see that the jewelry in the palace is valuable, and there are not many women who use it?"

The people sitting in the lobby began to discuss.

And the people in the private rooms also whispered to each other.

Mo Niang watched them discuss with a smile, and waited until it was almost time before she said, "Then the little woman will open it and show it to a distinguished guest." ”

As she spoke, she gave the maid beside her a look, and the maid picked up the red cloth covering the treasure, and then revealed a set of pure gold and rubies with a phoenix head.

To say that this gold head is not too rare, but the two rubies on the phoenix eyes are really eye-catching.

And then Mo Niang said: "This set of heads and faces is the work of Master Yuan, the only one in the world, I heard that it was worn by the queen of the previous dynasty when she got married, and then it went to the people for various reasons, and finally it was hidden by our owner." ”
