The four of them rested at the inn for an afternoon, and then went out again in the evening.

Jin Yi had already asked the innkeeper about the fun and lively places in Chonglang City, and as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the inn, he began to lobby Mu Congyun: "The shopkeeper said, I came to Chonglang but didn't go to Qianjintai." It's equivalent to not coming. He patted the stuffed storage bag on his waist, and said attentively: "Senior brother, let's go to Qianjin Terrace for a long time first, right?" ”

Mu Congyun frowned imperceptibly, since it was a lively place in Chonglang City, there must be a lot of people, He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing that Jin Yi was full of anticipation and eager to try, Xiao Guanyin also looked interested, and really didn't want to sweep their interest, After a little hesitation, he nodded and agreed.

In places like Qianjintai, most of them have private seats, and it is a big deal that he will stay in the box and not come out at that time.

Seeing him nodding, Jin Yi hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to prepare a carriage and pull out in advance, Seeing Mu Congyun looking at him, he explained with a smile: "Qianjintai is in the east of the city, the distance is quite far, let's save some energy to go to Qianjintai to play." ”

Mu Congyun shook his head helplessly, and got into the carriage first.

At night, the city is more lively than imagined, and the streets and alleys are full of lanterns, gathering into a sea of lights, and it looks like day from afar. The street is full of peddlers and pawns, pedestrians and tourists are bustling, and the "city that never sleeps" lives up to its name.

The streets were crowded, and the carriage walked for almost two quarters of an hour before it reached Qianjintai.

Although the name of Qianjintai is "Taiwan", in fact, it is connected by eight three-storey pavilions, a high platform is built on the open ground in the center of the eight pavilions, the lanterns of the palace around the platform rotate, and the colored silk veil flutters with the movements of the dancers, attracting the applause of the visitors from all directions.

As soon as Mu Congyun and his entourage entered, a slender maid came to receive them.

The maid was dressed elegantly, and her eyes were also vicious, and while leading people inside, she asked with a smile: "A few little immortals are the first to come back to Qianjintai, right?" Do you want to have some fun, or do you want to be quiet? ”

"Of course it's hot—" Jin Yi took a sharp turn as soon as he spoke: "Of course it's quieter!" My brother doesn't like to be noisy. ”

The maid glanced at Mu Congyun sideways, and then looked away: "There is a private room on the third floor, you can enjoy tea and listen to music, and you can also watch the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, and the bustle below will never be transmitted above." There will be an auction tonight, and in addition to some valuable treasures, there will also be a few extremely rare magic weapons. If you are interested, I will later ask someone to send a water mirror to the private room, and you will be able to participate in the bidding in the private room. ”

Jin Yi has always loved to join in the fun, and he brought enough silver taels and spirit stones, and he was naturally happy to hear that there was an auction.

The maid led the group up to the third floor, and the sound outside faded in an instant.

Xiao Guanyin looked left and right, and his eyes were fixed on the bronze finches decorated on the pillars: "Yandu Yao? It's no wonder that I didn't set up an enchantment, but I was able to block the noise outside. ”

"The little fairy has good eyesight." The maid covered her lips and smiled: "The owner of Qianjin Taiyao is from Yandu. ”

Xiao Guanyin let out an "oh", looked at the bronze sparrow curiously for a while, and then landed at the end and entered the private room.

The private room was quietly furnished, and after the four of them sat down, a team of maids came in with melons, fruits, snacks and fragrant tea, and after everyone retreated, two more male waiters carried a delicate carved bronze mirror into the room.

The maid introduced: "This is to watch the auction of the water mirror, the auction will be held on the second floor of the East Day Building, if you are interested, you can go to the East Day Building to have a look." If it is noisy, just open the water mirror. If you fancy an object, you can rattle the bell and ask the maid to ask for a price. ”

After introducing a few people, the maid retreated gracefully.

Gold...

Qi walked around the house, leaned on the window and watched the singing and dancing of Touyao, and sighed with emotion: "Qianjintai really lives up to its reputation. ”

Mu Congyun poured a cup of tea, and when he saw that Jin Yi couldn't sit still, he said, "If you want to play, go play." ”

Jin Yi immediately became excited when he heard this, but when he saw Mu Congyun sitting there coldly, he squirmed again: "Senior brother, don't you want to go with us?" ”

Xiao Guanyin pushed him when he heard this, and said with disgust: "Senior brother doesn't like to be noisy the most, you can go if you want." What are you pretending to do? ”

Jin Yi laughed twice and ran to the door: "Then I'll go and see if I'll go back." When he walked to the door, he came in with a probe on the door frame: "Aren't you going to Shen Qi?" ”

Mu Congyun also looked at Shen Qi with a sideways face: "If you want to go, you can go with your Senior Brother Jin." ”

Shen Qi leaned closer to Mu Congyun, shook his head and said, "I'm with my senior brother." ”

"You're not going either?" Jin Yi turned his gaze to Xiao Guanyin again.

Xiao Guanyin looked at Shen Qi, rolled his eyes, and leaned towards Mu Congyun, and said, "What's so fun about being so noisy below?" I'm with my brother. ”

No one was allowed to move, Jin Yi swayed from side to side for a moment, and in the end he couldn't help the excitement below, and went downstairs alone.

In the private room, Shen Qi squinted at Xiao Guanyin, lifted the teapot, filled the tea cup in front of Mu Congyun, and handed it to him with a well-behaved face: "Senior brother drink tea." ”

Mu Congyun replied softly, took a sip of the teacup, and hazy his cold eyebrows and eyes were hazy, making him look a little warmer.

Xiao Guanyin had long found out that Senior Brother treated Shen Qi differently from others, she had been secretly observing for many days, and now she finally found an opportunity, seeing this, she immediately dragged the fruit plate on the low table to the front, picked an orange and peeled it, and handed it to Mu Congyun: "Senior brother eats oranges." ”

She's a big man. is small, and when he sits, he is also a head shorter than Mu Congyun. Now looking up at people, his face is small and round, and his round almond eyes are slightly bent, and he is particularly well-behaved and pleasing when he looks at it. br />

Mu Congyun took the orange again, tasted a petal, and nodded: "It's very sweet." ”

Xiao Guanyin laughed even faster, and took another apple to peel. She was a good swordsman, and she peeled the apple not only quickly but also pleasing to the eye, but in a few moments, the skin of the apple was peeled clean, neatly divided into twelve small pieces, and lay in the fruit bowl.

Shen Qi looked at it, and there were even carved flowers on it.

"Senior brother eats apples." The fruit bowl was handed to Mu Congyun again.

Mu Congyun also saw the carving on it, and forked a piece with a silver skewer, seeing that she was looking at herself expectantly, she hesitated and praised: "The swordsmanship is good." ”

Xiao Guanyin suddenly smiled.

Shen Qi secretly pinched the wooden bracelet on his wrist and restrained the overflowing murderous aura.

He hung his head slightly, more silent than usual.

Mu Congyun and Xiao Guanyin said a few words, and found that he hung his head and didn't make a sound, so he pushed the fruit plate in front of him: "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Shen Qi raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then lowered it again, his eyes couldn't hide his loss: "Little Senior Sister's swordsmanship is so good, and she can carve flowers on apples, but I can't ...... anything."

Mu Congyun slowly raised a question mark.

Immediately, it occurred to me that Shen Qi was the latest to enter the school, and the progress of cultivation was not fast. But he is so introverted and sensitive, although he doesn't say it on weekdays, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was so low, Mu Congyun lowered his voice and said comfortingly: "Cultivation is not an overnight effort, you start late, you will naturally start late, and you can always catch up with the daily logistics and cultivation." ”

"Hmm." Shen Qi nodded heavily, as if he had been relieved, and smiled with crooked eyes: "Senior brother is right, I will work hard to cultivate." ”

Saying this, he took out the incomprehension that he encountered during his daily practice and asked about it carefully.

Mu Congyun patiently answered for him, and he didn't care about eating the apples in the fruit bowl anymore.

...

Xiao Guanyin watched from the side, took the fruit plate and forked a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes full of puzzlement.

It was all right in the first place, but why was it wrong?

……

Mu Congyun instructed Shen to abandon his practice, Xiao Guanyin was bored alone, and finished eating the fruit bowl and pastries.

She hiccuped, and then released the Gu worms in the bamboo tube to play with them one by one, but when she raised her head, she saw that the senior brother over there was still guiding Shen Qi, so she could only put the Gu worms away boringly. Just as he was thinking about whether to go downstairs to find Jin Qi, he saw the water mirror suddenly light up.

Xiao Guanyin suddenly perked up and said, "The auction seems to be about to start." ”

Mu Congyun went to look at the water mirror, and saw that the scene of the Dongri Building auction had already appeared.

"Just now, the maid said that there will be a magic weapon auction, and I don't know what it will be." Xiao Guanyin was finally able to interject, and the whole person was alive.

Mu Congyun was also a little interested, and said: "This Qianjin Taiyao Dong's family was born in Yandu, and it will definitely not be a defective product." ”

Seeing that he had been diverted, Shen Qi no longer deliberately entangled, stopped cultivating, sat down next to him, and pretended to be curious. Every time an auction item comes up, you have to be curious and inquiring.

Mu Congyun patiently explained to him.

In the first half of the auction, the Yao were all played with some mortal treasures, and only some gentry and nobles participated in the bidding. It was only in the second half that there was a magic weapon to participate in the bidding, and the atmosphere was completely boiling. Even through a heavy water mirror, you can feel the warmth of the scene.

At first, Shen Qi was still thinking about pestering Mu Congyun to ask questions about the east and west, and it was not until the maid came up with three dark red crystal-like objects that he quieted down and looked at the "Fire Spirit Crystal" intently.

The candle dragon clan belongs to fire, and each young dragon needs to be bathed in abundant fire spirits to break the shell, and the preciousness of fire spirits can be seen. Now the Candle Dragon clan inherits the Yao Fire Spirit, which is said to have been left by the original ancestral dragon. The ancestral dragon palm fire essence has the purest Yao fire genus, and between breathing and breathing, it is pregnant with abundant Yao fire spirit.

And the fire spirit dips into the ground and blends with the underground jade and jade, etc., in order to condense such a pure fire spirit crystal.

It is said that the former site of Zhongshan was originally in the eastern realm, and the ancestral dragon once lived in Zhongshan for a long time, naturally leaving countless fire spirits. It's just that since the fall of the ancestral dragon, no one has found the old site of Zhongshan. For example, today's Waitian Yao Zhong Mountain, but the candle dragon clan found some soil and stone contaminated with the breath of the ancestral dragon to rebuild, a long time ago, it was once called "Little Zhong Mountain".

And now it is placed in the tray to present the yao, it is the fire spirit and the jade that are fused together, and condensed into the fire spirit crystal.

In the previous life, the reason why he was able to repair the defective Yao scales was not only because he found the fire spirit to make up for the congenital deficiency, but also because he used the fire spirit to create many such fire spirit crystals.

And it was still early in this life, the fire spirit had not yet been found, and he could not go back to the outer heavens to get the fire spirit for the time being, so he could only temporarily endure the mutilation of the dragon's body.

Shen Qi looked at the water mirror fixedly, thinking about finding some reason to go out and take pictures of the three fire spirit crystals.

When he was in a trance, he suddenly heard Mu Congyun on his side as if calling him, he turned his head slowly, looking puzzled: "Senior brother? ”

"You like this?" Mu Congyun asked.

Shen Qi had been staring directly at the water mirror, and he called a few times before coming back to his senses.

Shen Qi shook his head: "I just think it's good-looking." ”

Mu Congyun stared at him, groaned slightly, and then got up and said, "I'll go out for a while." ”
