Verse 102
Zhao Ning shook his head, "Zhao Ning can't find a way." ”
"Today's moon is dark, it is the day when the black market opens, there should be an auction, do you want to go and see it?"
Zhao Ning was pleased, "Listen to Uncle Shi's arrangement." ”
Zhao Ning followed Qin Keyuan to the entrance of the black market, only to find that this black market was actually on the back of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, which was a small and hidden sundries.
The clutter in the shop is very old, and many of them even accumulate dust.
On the chair behind the cabinet lay a dozing old man, this old man had a restrained breath, and he couldn't see his cultivation, at least in the realm of foundation building.
Hearing the voice, Lao Suo said vaguely, "This store just looks at it, and doesn't sell it." If you want to buy it, wait for the old man to be in a good mood. ”
Zhao Ning looked strange, "The old man should be in a good mood now." ”
Who knew that the old man straightened his left arm and waved his hand, "It's not good, it's not good, the old man didn't sell anything today, where will he be in a good mood." ”
This is a contradiction, first saying that the center of the store is good before selling, and then saying that it will be in a good mood when it is sold, it seems to be a dead circle.
Zhao Ning meant that unraveling this cycle may be the key to entering the black market, she looked at Qin Keyuan, Qin Keyuan only said, "Then it's good to buy the old man, how about it?" ”
"Yo, who's talking so nicely?"
The old man squinted his eyes, but when he saw Qin Keyuan's face, he was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair, and hurriedly got up and made a move, "It turned out to be the first seat of Qingxiao Sect Qin, the old man was offended." I heard that Qin's first seat formed a high-grade golden pill, which is gratifying. ”
Zhao Ning paused, but what happened a few hours ago, the black market gatekeeper knew it clearly.
Qin Keyuan bowed slightly, "Lin Lao Zhenyuan is condensed, and I think I will marry Jin Dan soon." ”
"Hehe, Cheng Qin's first auspicious words." Old man Lin looked up at the two of them, "The two of you are going to the black market, this little girl should be here for the first time, and she deserves this." ”
Saying that, Old Man Lin handed Zhao Ning a half-face mask.
Zhao Ning looked at his eyes, half of the face was dark brown, I don't know what vines were made of, and the tail was twisted and flying.
"Schelling, Elder."
Lin Lao waved his hand, said quickly, bypassed the sundries in the store, and opened the broken wooden door leading to the backyard, where a one-way teleportation array was hidden.
"Come with me."
Qin Keyuan led the way.
Zhao Ning said goodbye to Lin Lao, put on a half-faced mask of vines, and followed Qin Keyuan.
The aura of the formation flickered, and the sight was not yet clear, and the sound of small buying and selling had already reached his ears.
The light fell, but I saw that this black market was far from the gloomy and cold as portrayed in the rumors.
It is an open underground, and the black market shops are all wooden paving of the same shape, arranged in an orderly manner, and the top is covered with staggered red silk, and countless lanterns hang between the red silk.
Compared to Guiyuan Chengfang City, this place is more deserted, the sound of buying and selling is almost only heard by both buyers, sellers, and the things sold are strange and varied.
With Qin Keyuan's realm, this half of the mask was useless to him, if he didn't want to be noticed, he wouldn't be noticed.
Zhao Ning followed behind Qin Keyuan, and as if he was in a no-man's land, the crowd would automatically avoid them.
Not far away, a shop shouted sky-high prices.
"Heavenly moat sea, fixed wave beads, 30,000 spirit stones, a fixed price!"
Chapter 124
"The book says that the sea is at the ends of the earth." Zhao Ning looked at Qin Keyuan, "Senior Uncle Qin, is this really the sea like this?" ”
Qin Keyuan replied, "Yes and no. At the edge of the outer seas, the Sea of Trenches is shrouded in a thick fog all year round, and the most extensive distance known to Kyushu is more than 1,000 miles. If you can successfully make it through the fog, you will be able to reach the other side of Kyushu. ”
"The other side?" Condensed.
"If you start from the Kunxu Sea and pass through the mist, you can reach the sea area in the west of the West Pole Demon Desolation. Other states are similar. Therefore, it has been said that the general shape of Kyushu and the open sea can be compared to Kemari. ”
Zhao Ning listened strangely, if one day he could be above the sky, maybe he could take a good look at whether the earth was arc-shaped.
"So what's the use of this bead? It can be sold at such a sky-high price! ”
In just a few words, there were already three groups of people gathered in front of the stall selling the Dingbo beads, and each wave of people wanted to take down this bead, which was no more than the size of a dragon's eye, and the price of each other had soared to 50,000 spirit stones.
Zhao Ning looked at these waves of people without a trace, and the vines covered up their cultivation and description, but just looking at the posture of spending money, it was either on the foundation or the children of the family.
"Make sure you don't get lost in the moat." Qin Keyuan explained two more sentences, "Since Kyushu is a large Keju, a circle of mist appears out of thin air, and there must be secrets, so in ancient times, there were constantly predecessors who went to the Tianqian Sea to investigate, and really found a lot of ancient ruins. But under the fog of the Heavenly Trench Sea, from the Yuan Infant to the Qi Practice, none of them will lose their way until they refine the demon pill of the Xuanhan Split Sea Whale living in the Heavenly Trench Sea into a fixed wave bead, and they will rarely get lost. ”
In the end, the Dingbo Bead was delivered to the last wave of buyers with 57,000 lower grade spirit stones.
The crowd dispersed, and the price somewhat amazed Zhao Ning, he had never seen so many spirit stones in his life.
The two walked along the dark street of the black market, all the way to the end, and saw a small building, with the book "Qianying Building", the small building was built with great vigor and brightness, and the red silk hanging all the way on the top fell behind the small building, and the red lanterns were strung one after another, and the two of them just walked in and saw a middle-aged man greet them.
"Fang Yi has seen Qin's first seat, congratulations to Qin's first-class Jindan."
"Boss Fang." Qin Keyuan bowed, "Is there an empty seat today?" ”
"Qin's first seat laughed, the first seat came, don't say that it is an empty seat, and the upper room is also empty." Boss Fang led the way sideways, "Please here." ”
There are nearly forty seats in the hall on the first floor, and they are basically all seated, some are dressed in black robes and hoods to completely hide their appearance, and some are simply not even wearing half of the vines, sitting with a big grin, looking at the costumes as if they are disciples of the sect.
There were eight upper rooms on the second floor, and at least four of them were guarded by high-level Qi cultivators outside the rooms.
The two followed Boss Fang into the Jiazi room, the round window in the room was facing the auction table below, maybe the A-shaped room was special, the round window was prohibited, it could be seen from the inside, but it was not allowed to peep into the interior from the outside, but the other rooms on the second floor did not have such preferential treatment, Zhao Ning only glanced at it and saw a familiar figure.
"Senior Uncle Qin, that seems to be Senior Uncle Wu of the Luoxia Sect."
In the room C, Wu Hanhai's expression didn't seem to be pleasant, and from such a distance, you could see his frowning brows, and he and the other three disciples of the Luoxia Sect came out of the room.
"Today is a lively day." Qin Keyuan stood in front of the hanging window, and Boss Fang said with a smile when he heard this, "Tonight's auction not only has Wu Zhenchuan of Luoxia Sect, but also Elder Zhang of Yuhua Sect, all of whom are here for the finale of the auction. ”
As he spoke, he handed over the jade slip and gave Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan one each.
Qin Keyuan took it and didn't open it directly, he gestured towards the Ezi room, "Yuhuazong Xu Bingyuan." ”
Zhao Ning knew that Qin Keyuan was introduced to him, but he was still slightly shocked when he looked at it, "Elder Xu looks very young. ”
His appearance is still a teenager, and the face of a cultivator ages very slowly, but when he is young, he will grow like a mortal, and when his physical state reaches its peak, he will be described in a fixed frame, unless a large amount of Shouyuan is consumed or Shouyuan is approaching, he will gradually look old, this Xu Bingyuan will only look eighteen or nineteen years old unless he took Zhuyan Pill at a young age.
"Xu Bingyuan's brother is Yun Wei Zhenren, Yun Wei Zhenren doesn't care about the affairs of the sect, and Xu Bingyuan is in charge of all affairs."
Then it's no wonder that cultivation is not much different from Zhao Ning, and he is already in a high position.
It's just that Zhao Ning is not in a good mood when he looks at this Elder Xu, and his eyes have been falling on the hanging window of the C-shaped room, as if he is staring at Wu Hanhai's every move.
Qin Keyuan sat at the tea table, and Boss Fang poured two cups of tea, "Use it slowly." ”
After Boss Fang withdrew, Zhao Ning looked at the jade slip, which recorded the items sold today, with a wide variety, from the Yuan Shen Gong to the rare elixir, from the heavenly treasures to the medium-grade spiritual weapons, everything, Qianyinglou, all kinds of things, really live up to this name.
Zhao Ning's gaze fell on the genius earth treasure, and he sighed slightly, but it was a kind of fire attribute genius earth treasure.
"I don't know why, I always feel that there are a lot of fire-attribute heavenly and earthly treasures, but my Taiyi Five Elements Refining Method can't use fire-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"Kunxu Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures are scarce, and most of the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures come from the surrounding cultivation realm. The adjacent Bianzhou in the north is blocked by the Qianren Mountains, and the treasure resources are not easy to communicate with Kunxu, so most of the natural materials and earth treasures in Kunxufang City come from Yanzhou in the southeast, Yangzhou in the south, and Zhuzhou in the southwest. ”
Zhao Ning put down the jade slip, originally curious to see the auction lively, and he didn't care so much about the auction items.
She refilled half a cup of tea for Qin Keyuan.
"Listening to Uncle Qin know Kyushu like this, Uncle Qin must have traveled a lot of places when he built the foundation and cut the world."
Zhao Ning looked at him, his eyes lit up slightly, "I must have encountered a lot of stories." ”
"I've heard it, I've seen it, I've just watched it." He raised the teacup but only took a sip and put it down, "The tea is a little astringent." ”
Zhao Ning immediately understood, removed the tea cup on the tea table, and replaced it with the tea in the house of the lonely spirit, the tea set is owned in the house of the lonely spirit, the tea is planted and picked in the garden when the ordinary people are in the world, and the water is stored in the mountain spring, in short, it is more mellow and fragrant than the tea outside.
If it was true, Qin Keyuan took half a sip and tasted it slowly with satisfaction.
"Do you know the ordinary Qingmojiang?"
Seeing that Qin Keyuan told the story seriously, Zhao Ning was full of interest, and supported his chin with one hand, "Of course I have heard it, there is one in Zhaoyang County of Nanjing, which is a hundred zhang deep, and it is always said in folklore that there is a dragon palace at the bottom of the river." ”
"Not only that, the source of this Qingmo River is not in Nanjing, but in the neighboring country of Wuming. More than ten years ago, I passed by Wuming and saw that a village in Linjiang in Wuming sacrificed to the Dragon King and was martyred as a full-term baby. ”
It sounds really infuriating, but it is all too common for foolish people in small countries to pray to the gods in order to survive.
"Since Uncle Shi saw it, he must have helped." Zhao Ning is very sure.
"Not really." But he didn't want Qin Keyuan to deny it, Zhao Ning only waited for him to explain the hidden situation, "On that day, two babies were sacrificed, and they flowed with the river, attracting the things at the bottom of the river, which was originally a thousand-year-old black Jiao, and the black Jiao leaned out of the river, and the fierce teeth wanted to devour one of the babies. I was about to make a move, but the baby suddenly babbled, and the black Jiao actually collected the killing intent, fell into the water, circled the baby tub in the water, and rubbed the edge of the tub very meekly. If I'm not mistaken, the little baby's little palm is still stroking the black horn. ”
Zhao Ning was surprised and magical when he heard it, and even the picture of the giant Jiao Jiang being coquettish in his mind, or the picture of the baby surrendering to the giant Jiao, almost made himself laugh when he thought about it.
At this time, I heard the voice in the pavilion downstairs soft, and I saw a woman walking out of the stage, she was wearing a snake bun and her makeup was bright and moving.
"Concubine Lu Yin has seen all the monks, and today Qianying Pavilion has prepared sixteen lots for you. All of them are priceless things in Kyushu, and they are of great benefit to your practice, and at the same time, they have prepared Kyushu remnant ......"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, get straight to the point." In the hall, a monk forcibly interrupted, and the man sat in the front row, dressed in brocade robes, on the foundation.
Lu Yin's smile did not change, and he responded with a smile, "My predecessor was so impatient. The concubine didn't say much, please the first lot. ”
She patted it with her bare hands, and saw a maid carrying a tray on the stage, on which a roll of brocade silk was placed, and the gold wire rope was properly tied.
Zhao Ning looked at the jade jian, and one of the lots was called "Purple Saint Hidden Thunder Exercise", which was a book of exercises during the Qi refining period of the Spirit Root Dao, and it was marked with a gold level.
This is Tianyinglou's own grade, in order to identify the preciousness of the lot, it is divided into five grades: blue, blue, purple, gold and red, and the higher the level, the more precious and rare.
This Linggen Dao's exercises belong to gold, and the power of the thunder attack is fifty percent of the ordinary exercises of the same level.
“…… The opening price is 1,000 spirit stones. As soon as Lu Yin's voice fell, the price hike came and went, and the price of the spirit stone had risen to three thousand.
Zhao Ning held his chin and looked at it, in addition to raising the price, the monks in the hall also attacked each other with words, whether it was "this thing is my thing, if anyone robs it, they will not be able to get along with me", "I have loved this thing for a long time, how about you cut your love" and so on.
Most of the lots are above the purple level, and Zhao Ning found that in addition to exercises and weapons, most of the spiritual objects come from the outer seas, even the Heavenly Trench Sea.
Zhao Ning asked Qin Keyuan why, but Qin Keyuan was indifferent, and only asked her, "Do you know how many years Kyushu has existed." ”
"Although the book says that Kyushu has existed since ancient times, the real record seems to be more than 100,000 years ago."
"That's right, for 100,000 years, the Kyushu Continent is only 10,000,000 square meters, but the monks and mortals are hundreds of millions, and the growth conditions of spiritual things are harsh and slow, and the major sects have mastered the vast majority of the secret realms, and the cultivation resources of the Kyushu Continent are gradually scarce, and the monks naturally explore the outer seas."
Although it is not the first time that I have heard Qin Keyuan talk about the situation in Kyushu, it is even more profound at this moment, coupled with the auction situation.
Thinking like this, the auction on the stage has already reached the penultimate point, and the fourth piece is a triple spirit weapon, which was sold for 4,300 spirit stones to the black-robed monk in the back row of the hall.
I have seen more than ten lots, most of them are monks in the hall fighting, the rooms on the second floor, including Yuhua Sect and Luoxia Sect, did not make a move, Zhao Ning guessed that they were all waiting for the last three finale lots.
I was looking forward to it, but I didn't want to put it on the auction table next, but it wasn't the last three.
