"Demon Money?"

The young girl named Xue Hua opened her eyes wide, "What's that?" ”

Obviously, this rural girl, who is rustic and has never seen much of the world, is unusually unfamiliar with this term, and she doesn't know what it is.

Ling Zhen thought for a while, and explained in as easy to understand language as possible: "That's it...... By the way, have you two ever heard that in the southernmost part, south of the South China Sea, there is a continent over there, called Scorched Earth Island, have you ever heard of it? ”

Xue Hua and Xue Cao, the two sisters and brothers, looked dazed and confused, and they didn't know what Ling Zhen was talking about.

Ling Zhen felt that this was also reasonable, of course, ordinary people in the market would not be able to come into contact with these secret things, otherwise it was very likely to cause panic due to excessive anxiety and worry, causing the Terran people to be disheartened, so he carefully explained: "In that barren land of loess thousands of miles, there lives a race that is completely different from our human race, I won't say what the specific race is, the race that is different from our people is very powerful, thousands of years, Some of the top powerhouses in their race were killed in the war, and their dead bodies flowed into the Hanlan Continent of our human race, which is called 'Demon Transformation', and each Demon Transformation has the magical power of a powerful person in ancient times, so it is very precious. ”

The Xue family siblings seemed to have listened to an unbelievable heavenly book, and the fog above their heads had indeed been dispelled a little, but they could not say that they could fully accept such remarks at once, after all, no one in their situation could accept all knowledge without barriers.

The little head melon seeds were running rapidly, and the little brother Xue Cao suddenly asked: "Benefactor, since their corpses after death are called demon moults, then the race you are talking about...... Is it called a demon? ”

Ling Zhen was quite surprised by this little boy's thinking ability, at first he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the latter's little head a few times, hummed, and said: "Wow, so smart, you little friend, since this is the case, I didn't hide it, the name of that race does have a magic word, but it's not the demon race, but the heavenly demon clan." They are particularly strong and fierce, high up, like gods, and regard all living beings in the world as chickens and dogs, all of which are vulnerable! ”

The earth girl Xue Hua was a little frightened when she heard this, she hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively: "Young Master Ling, since they are so powerful, what should they do if they come over and attack us?" ”

Ling Zhen raised his head and laughed, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, don't think nonsense, it's impossible to escape, as early as a thousand years, all the demon clans on the Scorched Earth Continent have been sealed, and they can't escape anymore." ”

Xue Cao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "It's sealed, wow, who sealed them?" ”

"Not one, but six."

Ling Zhen said, "It was a war a thousand years ago, and six otherworldly peerless powers joined forces to form a magic circle and sealed a continent, so that the group of ferocious tyrannical Heavenly Demon Clans on the continent no longer had the space to move freely, and they couldn't go anywhere else except to stay in that wasteland-like charred yellow land!" ”

After the younger brother asked, Xue Hua, as the elder sister, planned to follow up to the end, and asked again: "Who are the six immortals?" ”

Ling Zhen said with a smile: "It's not an immortal, but it's all the powerhouses of their respective races, this knowledge is far, far away from you, you don't need to know it in such detail, it doesn't mean anything to you, you only need to know one thing, among the six people, there is a strong man of our human race, that is, the Terran Emperor who is currently living on Tongtian Island, Zhuge Jielu!" ”

Another brand new name that he had never heard of jumped out of Ling Zhen's mouth, and the Xue family siblings were once again aroused with a strong interest, and the two pairs of small eyes were much wider than usual.

"This Zhuge Emperor is powerful to the sky, his swordsmanship is unparalleled, he is a member of the main force of the Millennium War, guarding one-sixth of the magic circle, and the position of the array is on the island where his mana is condensed...... This island is very, very mysterious, in the south of the South China Sea, north of the Scorched Earth Continent, if ordinary people are just ferryboats, then they can only drift aimlessly in the South China Sea, it is difficult to reach the island of Tongtian by their own strength, unless there is a map, or Emperor Zhuge personally recommended it. ”

The younger brother Xue Cao asked curiously, "Have you ever seen the emperor surnamed Zhu?" ”

Ling Zhen said with a smile: "He is not surnamed Zhu, his surname is Zhuge , he is a compound surname, just like Ouyang and Nangong, there are two words, as juniors, we should all respectfully call him Zhuge the Great, and it is not even very respectful to call him by his name, I just seemed to have called him once, hey, it is disrespectful...... Of course I haven't seen it, to tell you the truth, I have never even been to the South China Sea once, let alone the island of death that is even more south than the South China Sea, even if I take a step back and say, I can board that island, Zhuge the Great He is a man who stands at the top of the entire human race, how noble is his identity, how can he be seen when he says it? I wanted to see what the legendary power that fought the Heavenly Demon looked like back then, but no, people probably didn't want to see me much, haha! ”

Hearing Ling Zhen's laughter similar to self-deprecation, Xue Hua tried to comfort him, and said slowly: "Ling Gongzi, you are so strong, you will definitely be able to go to the island in the future, and the Terran Emperor surnamed Zhuge will definitely be very happy to see you, because ......"

Xue Hua's hard wording finally straightened out the logic, "Because he is from the Terran race, you are also from the Terran race, and you are so powerful, as a human ancestor, he must be very interested in his descendants." ”

Ling Zhen laughed very loudly, patted Xue Hua's shoulder, and gave a thumbs up, obviously quite useful for this words, "Okay, then I'll borrow your auspicious words, if I really go to the island in the future, I will see Zhuge Jie...... Phew, Emperor Zhuge , I will definitely thank you when I come back! ”

Xue Hua and Xue Cao said hello in unison, and they were all extremely happy at Ling Zhen's words.

"You haven't told me yet, why is the Demon Molten Elm Money your family's thing, such a supernatural thing is always in the vassal king's mansion, how can you ......?"

Ling Zhen continued to ask based on his doubts.

Xue Hua was more knowledgeable than her younger brother, and she understood things better, and said: "That spirit beast is the ancestral thing of our family, my mother went to the world a few years ago, and left that spirit beast as a relic before leaving, so that we really don't have money to use it in the future, so we went to sell it." I heard that everything in this Dingsheng auction house can be sold at a high price, so I brought my brother over, hoping to buy more money and take my brother to eat some delicious food, who would have thought ......"

"Who would have thought that you, as a seller, would not even be qualified to enter because of shabby clothing, and you would be punched and scolded, right?"

Ling Zhen said hatefully, "It's really a big shopkeeper to bully customers, this broken auction house is really unconscionable, even guests like you have to bully, maybe they even plan to swallow all your money, do you understand the principle of protecting each other?" It's that they keep all the silver taels obtained from the auction for themselves, and you can't get angry, and go to the official, but the result is useless, and the lord of the government has already collected the money from their auction shop, so he will never speak for you, and you will have to bear the notorious reputation of a false accusation, and if you can't get half a penny, you will have to be beaten to the board, and you will be beaten to the skin, and you will be in prison, and you will ......squat to death."

Xue Hua was anxious after hearing this, she blushed and shouted, "Why? That's what we meant to be, what's the difference between them and robbers like this?! ”

Ling Zhen smiled, "It's really no difference, it's just that the robbers have to be killed by the government, and they have to be supported by the people of the government as landlords, don't you say ironic?" This is the way of the world, if you have money, you are the uncle, if you don't have money, the dog can come and bully you a few times. ”

At this time, even the ten-year-old boy Xue Cao understood, he was as anxious as his sister, and said, "Then what should we do, can we not sell it and take Xiaojin back?" ”

Xue Hua's face was flushed, panting, and she didn't answer her brother's question.

Ling Zhen said calmly: "It's a pity, if you don't come back, it's definitely impossible, they have started the auction conference now, and it has been open for so long, you can withdraw their top brand goods today, who can be happy, it is estimated that there are many big guys, who is going to go to that demon." ”

After a quick glance at the expressions of the Xue family sisters and brothers who were almost about to cry, Ling Zhen was not a cold and ruthless person, so he naturally said calmly: "But it doesn't matter, you are short of money, right, as long as their auction house can give you the auction proceeds according to the agreement, it should be fine, right, since this is the case, then this son will go out." ”

Ling Zhen turned around, bowed his head to Ling Xiaoxiao, the girl in white, and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I said it when I didn't come here just now, in this Jinyuan City today, that demon elm money must be in our Ling family's pocket, right?" ”

Ling Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, "Yes, didn't you say it before, in the northern land, if a copper plate falls from the sky, it must be surnamed Ling!" ”

"That's right, sister, you said it well!"

Ling Zhen clapped his hands and said happily, "So, I'll enter now, and then buy your family's elm money after I go in, and ask the auction house to return the silver to you, isn't that okay?" You got the money, and I got the demon metamorphosis that I was already very eager to get, killing two birds with one stone, and the family was perfect, how about it? ”

Xue Cao tilted his little head, a little unsure why Ling Zhen wanted to call a little girl so much shorter than himself his sister.

And Xue Hua suddenly understood Ling Zhen's words, and knew that the great benefactor in front of her decided to help her again, she was so moved that she almost cried on the spot, she lowered her body and was about to kneel down for Ling Zhen.

Ling Zhen hurriedly went up to support Xue Hua so that she would not give herself such a big gift.

Xue Hua had tears in her two eyes, she lowered her head and didn't look directly at Ling Zhen's eyes, because she was too excited, for fear that her uncontrollable gaze at the moment would suddenly reach the great benefactor Ling Zhen, and the poor sour girl who was not yet twenty years old said: "Ling Gongzi, thank you, with money, my younger brother can go to a private school, and he can study, it's really good......"

Ling Zhen saw that his whole person was too excited, and even a little incoherent, so he kindly patted Xue Hua's back, and tried his best to comfort: "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, I, Ling Zhen, lack everything, that is, I don't lack money, as long as it is a problem that money can solve, then it is not a problem, your brother is so smart, he must be a natural reading embryo, and in the future, he will be named on the gold list, and be a literary champion, how good, a family will be rich and glorious, and he will be comfortable for a lifetime!" ”

Xue Hua finally reluctantly calmed down at this moment, she raised her head, looked directly into Ling Da's benefactor's eyes, burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Ling Gongzi is so gracious, the little woman really can't repay it......"

Ling Zhen was a little anxious, and immediately planned her words, "Don't, don't, don't, don't say anything like that, I'm not the kind of person who is extremely vicious, what do you want me to do?" You should take good care of your own brother, and when you are away from home, taking care of each other is the most important thing. ”

Ling Zhen said and hugged his sister Ling Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "This is my sister Ling Xiaoxiao, a few years older than me, don't look at her looks a little delicate and small, in fact, she has a big temper, and the typical appearance and interior do not match...... Oops! ”

Ling Zhen screamed out, it turned out that Ling Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied with her younger brother saying bad things about herself in front of her, so she pinched a piece of meat on Ling Zhen's back waist with two fingers, and then pulled it desperately, making Ling Zhen suddenly feel pain, and then she screamed out loudly.

Xue Hua and Xue Cao looked at this pair of sisters and brothers with very different appearances and physiques, and felt that it was really big, and there were all kinds of strange things, a young man with a height of more than eight feet actually wanted to call a little girl who looked like a cardamom girl as her sister, and let her beat and scold without fighting back, it was really weird.

"Alright, we're going in."

Ling Zhen said loudly, "You two, just wait here, if there is still someone bullying you, just shout out, although I am inside, but my ears are very sharp, as long as I hear your call for help, I will immediately come out to help you, so there is no need to worry about being bullied again." ”

As he spoke, Ling Zhen took the hand of the eighth sister Ling Xiaoxiao, and strode confidently into the venue where the conference was in full swing.

After entering the hall, Ling Zhen was a temporary member, according to the regulations, this was never allowed, after all, it was a latecomer, Ling Zhen didn't care much, but generously handed over a full twenty times the admission funds, and had the privileges that only members can enjoy, and when the conference had reached the middle and back field, he came to the main hall and sat down with his sister in a seat near the aisle.

This is the top auction place in the entire northern land in Jinyuan City, and it is exactly the same as the rumors, all the people in it are rich gentry, it seems that they are wearing what they are wearing, and they can stone the poor to death just by taking them off, and the posture of wealth is undoubtedly revealed, as if there is only one purpose in life - to show off their wealth!

Come to think of it, many of them came to this prestigious auction house for the purpose of making people more respectful of themselves and more famous.

Because the people who are qualified to come here, without exception, are all upper-class people with extremely noble status, people who are superior.

And as long as they can use their own financial resources to shoot a good treasure of extraordinary quality from the conference, then even if they are among the people, they will be surrounded by countless people, feeling that this person is really rich and rich, and the meaning and value of the commodity itself are actually less important than those false names.

The venue was different from ordinary auction venues, and it was surprisingly quiet, probably because the people attending the conference were generally very high-quality, or because there was an explicit rule prohibiting noise, and in any case, except for the voices of the people who presided over the auction on the stage, it was almost impossible to hear any other sounds underneath.

Ling Zhen sat quietly in his seat, watching this grand event, one treasure after another was successfully auctioned, and the transactions again and again were staggering to ordinary people, and the goods sold were really not attractive to Ling Zhen, who was born in a family of powerful vassal kings, just a passing motion.

He has only one ultimate goal today, and that is to buy the Demon Elm Money with his own hands!

Soon, the auction came to an end, and the last item was served.

Four men carried a corner and walked out from behind the curtain a small wooden plate.

On the wooden plate, there is a strange beast with thick body hair and gold and silver color, with a single horn on the top of its head, which is very beautiful and cute, so that people can look at it from a distance, and they will be attracted to the past, and they can't help but be amazed, and feel that there are such beautiful rare animals in the world.

The animal that was about the size of the guard dog at home was named by Xue Cao and called "Xiaojin" - Yu Qian.

It is the highest sale of this high-class auction today, and it can be said that only one-third of the wealthy people came to this venue in person because they coveted this strange beast.

It is rumored that this demonic beast with demon blood has great divine power, as long as people can conclude a contract with it and bind spirituality to each other, then it will work for people, and it can spit out a large amount of gold and silver, or other things in its mouth.

It is equivalent to saying that as long as it can be made to recognize the Lord, it is tantamount to moving a whole mountain of gold and silver back home, and from then on, there is no pressure on money, and the legendary "rich and rival country" is truly realized!

Although it is an unknown thing whether the demon can be transformed into a master, as long as there is such a great opportunity to get rich overnight, then the rich people who have always been shrewd and vicious will certainly not want to miss it, and they will be no different from the hungry wolf, staring at this piece of fat and salivating.

Although Ling Zhen was not a wild wolf, he was indeed one of them, and he also thought about the golden cat-like demonic beast in his heart.

The little beast with a horn on its head, its limbs were bound, it didn't look too tight, but it should be unable to break free, so Yu Qian chose not to struggle, just lying on the wooden plate, sleeping comfortably, and his body breathed in and out, and even his sleep seemed quite agile.

It should be said that it is really worthy of being a different kind of demon metamorphosis above the spirit beasts in the world, and the forms of the Heavenly Demon Clan after their death all have such a form, and I don't know how this beast will be in the ancient era, how majestic and invincible the peak existence will be? It's a little chilling to think about!

There is a wooden plate lying on the magic elm money, was brought to the center of the stage in the hall, there is a relatively high platform in the center, about half shorter than the person, just placed on it, for the buyers below to watch, clearly, under the illumination of the stage lights, every gold and silver fur looks glorious and moving, as if the love of the gods, the quality has been greatly improved, and anyone who can not help but touch a few times.

Of course, this is not allowed, here, only the person who buys the strange beast is qualified to touch it.

The auction of the last item has officially begun.

The starting price is frighteningly high, how high? In this way, if a poor family earns ten taels of silver a year, he should have saved money at least since ancient times, and he may not have saved enough!

It's such an exaggeration, the rich are not short of money, even if the terrible numbers are in front of them, there are still people who keep shouting up the price.

An old man surnamed Peng Mingshanxiang, after shouting seven or eight times in a row, finally overwhelmed the crowd at a price that was more astronomical than astronomical figures, and there was no one around him anymore.

From this point of view, the magic elm money should be Master Peng's thing!

Just when the host shouted for the second time, about to drop the hammer that symbolized the deal, suddenly a young man's voice, extremely out of place, exploded out of thin air, and its sound shook the entire auction house.

Hearing that the young man first shouted the price that Master Peng had just quoted again, and then added another tael of silver to this basis.

In this way, this last item is back to Ling Zhen.

Peng Shanxiang was really angry, and shouted loudly, adding an additional five hundred taels of silver on the original basis.

And after a while, Ling Zhen repeated the figure of Master Peng's money the moment before the transaction, and then added one or two pieces of silver to this basis.

Repeating such a routine three times in a row, the dogleg next to Master Peng was angry, and he yelled at Ling Zhen who was on the other side of the aisle: "What do you mean, if you want to shoot, shoot well, why do you add a few taels of silver to our master's amount every time?" What can you do with a tael of silver?! ”

Ling Zhen didn't look back, just stared at the golden Demon Molten Elm Money on the stage, and responded very simply: "I'm happy, I like to buy things like this, a little more than others, not much, just one or two silver, as long as I'm happy." ”

The host of the auction house stood on the stage, and when he saw that the smell of gunpowder was so strong, he said with some embarrassment: "This lord, you add a tael of silver every time, it's too little, so it's very difficult for us to do......"

Ling Zhen sneered a few times, and said lightly: "It's difficult, isn't it?" ”

Between words, Ling Zhen slowly raised one leg.

Suddenly, the kick had fallen from the air.

The seat in front of Ling Zhen happened to be empty.

Hearing a loud click, in front of everyone's eyes, the chair was smashed by a huge force in an instant!

The audience was silent.

Still only Ling Zhen's words, he said: "It's difficult, then don't do it!" ”
