Chapter Twenty-Five: The Divine Pearl

Chen Meng walked out of the Canglan Daoyuan Tower, and someone immediately greeted him.

"Dare to ask this little friend, have you gone up to the sixth floor?"

"Well, I'm on the sixth floor." Chen Meng thought about it for a long time, let's lie, it's not appropriate, don't lie, it's too troublesome. After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth. It's just a horizontal and vertical pearl, and I have it.

"How is that possible!" An unconvinced voice came from the crowd next to him, "A waste of the sixth layer of Qi training, how can he climb to the sixth layer!" ”

"If you want me to say, the people who really went up to the sixth layer are still in it and haven't come out yet. Boy, you are not ashamed to speak out, and you have to be shameless! ”

Chen Meng pouted. I heard the person who greeted him at the beginning ask, "Little friend, if you really reached the sixth layer, have you ever obtained the Canglan Pearl?" ”

Chen Meng took out the Canglan bead containing "Autumn Water Lovesickness" from the ring. Hold it up in front of the man. The man's gaze was visibly hot, and he couldn't wait to grab it.

"Wait." An old voice came from the side: "This Canglan Pearl, Xiaoyou took it out, but it is up to the city lord to decide." ”

"Yes, yes. Everything is up to the lord of the castle. The man withdrew his hand.

"Xiaoyou, in a few days it will be the birthday of the city lord, and at that time, please bring this Canglan Pearl to the city lord's mansion and hand it over directly to the city lord, do you think it's good?"

"I don't care. What are you talking about? Chen Meng spread his hands.

"That's how it was decided. Xu Lin? ”

A man in black next to him knelt down on one knee: "My subordinates are here." ”

"Send four shadow guards to guard this little friend these days, and be sure to ensure that the Canglan Pearl is in good condition."

Chen Meng was very uncomfortable with this arrangement. It seems that Canglan Zhu is a person, and he is just a machine responsible for sending Canglan Zhu out.

"In my opinion, it's not necessary." There was an old woman's voice, "This son, as far as I know, came to Canglan City and temporarily lived in my Yunyue Tower. The guards of Yunyue Tower can naturally protect the safety of this son, so they will not work with Lord Xu's shadow guards. ”

"That's fine." The man shook his head, "Since you are in Yunyue Tower, then you will trouble everyone in Yunyue Tower." However, if this Canglan Pearl is lost, even if you have a hundred heads up and down Yunyue Tower, it will not be enough for the City Lord to cut off! ”

"When I came to my Yunyue Tower, naturally I couldn't lose it. But if I'm out there, I can't guarantee it. The old woman snorted coldly.

Chen Meng saw Su Lian coming over with a smile on his face, pointed at the old woman, and asked, "Is this your shopkeeper?" So domineering? ”

"Yunyue Tower and Qiankun Pavilion have always been at odds. Besides, Yunyuelou is the largest chamber of commerce in Canglan City, what about the domineering? ”

"That person is from Qiankun Pavilion?"

"That person is the chief treasurer of Qiankun Pavilion. Don't underestimate him, he opened all the shady industries that I told you before. This person eats everything in black and white in Canglan City, and his methods are very poisonous. ”

"What does it mean that he's going to send shadow guards to protect me?"

"The shadow guard will see blood when he shoots. What do you mean? ”

"He's going to kill people and sell goods?" Chen Meng frowned.

"My big shopkeeper is saving you! Be content with that. Come with me. The great treasurer wants to see you. ”

The two walked back to Yunyue Tower along the way they came, Chen Meng pushed open the door of the lobby, and saw the old woman sitting at a table of eight immortals, looking at Chen Meng with a smile: "Chen Gongzi, congratulations!" ”

"What is there to congratulate?" Chen Meng smiled bitterly. It's just a vicissitudes bead, and I can't use it myself.

The old lady threw a ring, "This is the city lord's reward, 20,000 spirit stones, and the son will collect it." ”

Chen Meng took the ring on his hand and raised his glass, "Chen Meng replaced wine with tea, thanking the old-timers for saving their lives under the Daoyuan Tower." ”

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands. Qiankun Pavilion is full of evil, and I can't get used to it for a long time. ”

"The seniors called Chen Meng to come this time, but what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal." The old woman stopped talking and sighed to herself.

I looked at the sky, and it was already getting dark. I was still in a hurry to participate in the underground auction in the evening, so I got up and said: "In this case, senior, forgive Chen Meng for being rude, I still have something to do later, if the seniors are not in a hurry, can I go to visit the junior tomorrow morning." ”

"There you go. There's nothing urgent, and it's never too late to discuss it tomorrow morning. The old woman smiled.

"The juniors have taken their leave." Chen Meng retreated, came to the door, and saw Su Lian lying in the crack of the door eavesdropping.

After Chen Meng left, a hunchbacked old man came out from behind the counter, and the old man came to the table of the Eight Immortals on crutches and sat down.

"What do you think?" The old woman took a sip of tea and looked at the hunchbacked old man.

"I can't see through it. This son's heavenly opportunity was covered up by others, and it was gray. ”

"Can Yunyue Tower stay?"

The hunchbacked old man smiled, "You can talk to him again tomorrow morning." But it's best to explain to him, if this bead stays in Yunyue Tower, the city lord's side will certainly not be good, but Qiankun Pavilion will inevitably not embarrass him. ”

"Then it depends on the creation of Yunyue Tower." The old woman shook her head.

Outside the door, Chen Meng said with a wry smile: "Your shopkeeper poured me a cup of tea, mysterious and mysterious, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Isn't that easy? The big shopkeeper wants you to leave the beads to Yunyue Tower. ”

"Huh? Didn't this bead say that it was to be handed over to the lord of the city to decide? ”

"The city lord lacks your bead?" Su Lian rolled her eyes at Chen Meng.

"What do you mean?"

"The ancestor of the city lord is the immortal who built the Canglan Daoyuan Tower, do you think the city lord will lack this bead?"

"Then your big shopkeeper just asked me if I wanted to, why are you so stumbling."

"You give the beads to Yunyue Tower, and the city lord won't say anything. Yunyuelou will thank you. But the remaining three chambers of commerce are considered offended, can you understand? The reason why I am embarrassed to open my mouth is that Yunyue Tower has no favor for you, but if you really give this bead to Yunyue Tower, the remaining three chambers of commerce, especially Qiankun Pavilion, will endlessly trouble you. ”

"Forget it. I don't do it. Chen Meng shook his head.

"But Yunyuelou really needs this bead, very much." Su Lian suddenly looked at Chen Meng very seriously.

"Then you go and ask the city lord."

"When the beads are in the hands of the city lord, the four major chambers of commerce draw lots to determine the ownership. When the time comes, everything will be out of control. ”

"So you mean you have to take the bead in my hand?"

"You don't have to open the conditions." Su Lian nodded firmly.

"May I ask why?" Chen Meng was a little puzzled.

"Because before you, a total of three beads were taken out from the Canglan Daoyuan Tower, and Qiankun Pavilion got two of them, and Yunyue Tower didn't catch any of them. If this one can't be obtained again, Yunyue Tower will completely lose the name of the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in Canglan City. ”

"Isn't it just a name? What is the point of arguing. ”

"You know the head! What you want to do business is to be famous, do you know how to do business? ”

"You just said that you can agree to any conditions?"

"As long as you are willing to give the beads to Yunyuelou, you can open any conditions." Su Lian seemed to be out of the way.

"Anything goes?" Chen Meng had a playful smile on his face.

"What conditions...... All of them! Su Lian closed her eyes, and the last two words were squeezed out of her teeth.

"Open your eyes." Chen Meng shook his head and sighed. If she really opened the conditions, this stupid girl would probably really agree.

Su Lian opened her eyes and looked at the four Canglan Beads that Chen Meng was holding in his hands with some disbelief, his face full of incredulity: "What is this?" ”

"The Pearl. The thing you guys snatched from your head. ”

"Why do you have so many?"

"Me? I can talk to Canglan Daoyuan Tower, and he gave me a few more. Chen Meng shook his head, "The beads can be given to you, and I can even tell you that I can give you the double-digit Canglan beads of Yunyue Tower." But I want you, and the Yunyue Tower behind you, to help me keep it a secret. In addition, I want spirit stones, a large number of spirit stones. ”

Su Lian still didn't recover from the shock, Chen Meng simply stuffed the four Canglan beads into her arms and asked, "Can you guarantee it?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Lian is still stupid.

Chen Meng counted, and what he brought out of the tower was twelve beads left in addition to the two beads he wanted to use, and one bead each for Zhao Jingyun and Tang Junjiu. I don't mind that in addition to the one handed over to the city lord, the remaining eleven beads are all given to Yunyue Tower as a favor. Anyway, it's useless to keep it yourself, it's better to exchange some money for Yunyue Tower.

But the premise is that Yunyue Tower must be reliable, don't sell yourself one day. You must know that the eleven beads were given to Yunyue Tower, and it is strange that Qiankun Pavilion does not turn against himself.

"How many spirit stones do you want?" Su Lian came to her senses and asked.

"One ten thousand, I can give you eleven." Chen Meng thought about it and decided to open his mouth.

"Only 110,000? Will it be a little less? Su Lian asked.

Chen Meng thought about it, but he didn't have any concept of being rich.

"I'll talk to you about the money tomorrow morning. You're giving your shopkeeper a breath tonight. Now you hurry up and take me to the auction. ”

"Oh yes, you're going to the auction. I forgot. ”

Su Lian took Chen Meng around and around, walked into a small alley, handed Chen Meng a veil, and the two covered their faces, walked through the long empty alley, and turned into a small courtyard.

There was a wooden door in the small courtyard, Su Lian knocked lightly three times, and after a while, the door opened, and it was a big man who opened the door.

Su Lian took out a token and handed it to Dahan, Dahan nodded, turned sideways, and Su Lian walked in quickly with Chen Meng.

Chen Meng felt like he was in prison, with iron cages on both sides, and many unclothed people, both men and women, were locked in them.

"What is this place?" Chen Meng was a little surprised.

"This? This is where slaves are kept. Which one did Chen Gongzi fall in love with? As far as I know, there are quite a few beauties in distress. ”

"Can you be serious?" Chen Meng was a little speechless.

"Yo, you're serious, you're the most serious." Su Lian sneered.

Walking through an iron cage, in front of it were small compartments, each with a light veil of light yarn, some lit with candles, some with black lights. In the room where the candles are lit, you can see the graceful figures in the room through the mantle.

"That's what you're talking about?" Chen Meng was a little speechless, "I'm going to the auction, big guy, why did you bring me to this kind of place?" ”

"Cure your stinking problem of hypocrisy. The auction is just in front of you, and you can walk through this section and you will arrive. ”

"Okay. Why do some rooms have candles and others don't? ”

"The fact that you don't light a candle means that there are guests inside, are you an elm head?"

"You have to know more." Chen Meng gave Su Lian a thumbs up.

"Get out." Su Lian's answer was very crisp.

After walking for a long time, Chen Meng saw a large cave hall in front of him, which was crowded with no less than two hundred people.

"This is where the auction comes in. Just wait. Su Lian found a place to sit down, gasping for breath.
