Chapter 116: Bait
Although Lu Mingfei didn't speak, all his curiosity was written on his face, and strange and complicated emotions inexplicably arose in his heart.
Song Yiyi continued: "After the Great Jin Dynasty unified Zhongzhou, the nominal South Wind City was placed under the jurisdiction of Bihu Villa, but after all, the two were some distance apart, and the various forces in the South Wind City were complicated, so it was not easy to completely control the South Wind City. ”
"Back then, Bihu Villa's move was just to use the Jiang family's little foundation in Nanfeng City to help Bihu Villa snarl the rest of the idle forces in Nanfeng City. ”
Lu Mingfei didn't feel gloating, and he didn't say anything more, his face was a little gloomy.
Putting aside Jiang Yanying's matter, Lu Mingfei and the Liang Zi of Bihu Villa have already formed a relationship, and now they have encountered the other party to get in the way, so they are naturally unwilling to admit defeat easily, after discussion, Lu Mingfei knew that his current strength was not enough to collide with Bihu Villa, so he decided to continue to pretend to be a strange monk to bid for pills in the auction, attract others to come and snatch them, and secretly set up an ambush to kill the other party, so as to show his attitude, and at the same time secretly compete with Bihu Villa.
or Lu Mingfei, or Huang Deyi, Zhang Yuan and others, each time they will appear with different identities and appearances, set up ambushes several times in succession, and successively captured two groups of monks who tried to snatch the pill, one of which was two monks who had opened the light of the fifth grade or above, even so they were easily subdued by Lu Mingfei, Li Qing and others.
In a short period of time, Fang Yuanzhai's reputation also improved, and the number of people who came to bid for the pill increased slightly.
After careful dressing, Lu Mingfei appeared in the auction hall dressed as a bearded man on this day, wearing a big hat that covered most of his face.
Because of the frequent looting of pills in the past, it is not uncommon for monks to wear hoods and scarves everywhere when they enter the auction hall, and some people even wear masks directly on their faces in order to hide their identities.
Lu Mingfei's outfit is also extremely natural and inconspicuous in the auction hall.
Fang Yuanzhai auctioned two relatively rare herbs one after another, and then auctioned off an ordinary earth-level spiritual artifact, and the next auction item was a second-grade Jiling Pill.
Ji Ling Pill belongs to the category of healing pills, because it is a second-grade pill, its effect is naturally extraordinary, there is no miracle effect of resurrection, but it has an excellent effect on healing internal injuries, significantly improving the recovery time.
Lu Mingfei was waiting for this moment, the reserve price of Ji Ling Dan was three hundred spirit stones, after the auction started, only two people bid, and the price was raised to three hundred and thirty spirit stones, after a little hesitation, Lu Mingfei slowly raised his hand and said, "Four hundred!"
Once upon a time, once the second-grade pill was robbed, it would often be auctioned for seven or eight hundred spirit stones, but there seems to be an unwritten rule in Yuanzhai right now, and most of the second-grade pills are sold at around four hundred.
Seeing that no one continued to bid, Lu Mingfei was about to leave quickly after receiving the pill, using himself as bait to lure others to come and snatch it, when suddenly, a small voice came from the auction hall again.
"Four hundred and fifty spirit stones. ”
Lu Mingfei looked sideways, and the bidder was actually a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, with an extremely ordinary appearance, and there was a hint of nervousness on his face at this time.
His gaze did not linger on the boy for long, but fell on the boy's side.
The other man was wrapped in a wide black cloak, his head slightly bowed, and his age was not visible.
Lu Mingfei's heart immediately had some intuitions, it should be the person in this cloak who made the bid, and the young man was just this person's subordinate.
The auction hall has become silent, Lu Mingfei also felt a little puzzled, in the past two months, most of the second-grade pills have been auctioned, even if there are occasional bids, the price is within four hundred, and it is the first time that more than four hundred spirit stones has appeared in recent days.
This sudden bid was not in Lu Mingfei's plan, but as Fang Yuanzhai, guests should have been encouraged to bid, and in the current situation, someone was willing to bid for the pill at a price of more than four hundred, and Lu Mingfei's heart was inexplicably grateful.
After a moment's hesitation, the hand that had been about to be raised was lowered again.
Ji Ling Pill was finally sold for four hundred and fifty spirit stones, Lu Mingfei judged well, after the young man paid the spirit stone and took the pill, the man in the black cloak quickly walked out of the auction hall.
stared closely at the man's back, and immediately followed, and for some reason, the man was wrapped in a black cloak, but Lu Mingfei had a special feeling.
After leaving Fang Yuanzhai, the other party walked very fast and went straight to the west gate of South Wind City.
Lu Mingfei didn't follow too closely, but always kept a certain distance and followed, and behind him, the two subordinates of the Kaiguang Realm arranged by Li Qing and Song Yiyi secretly followed as planned.
Out of the west gate, the man and the young man who took the pill converged, and kept walking towards the south, in the night, the other party walked faster and faster, and then he kept trotting.
Lu Mingfei also quickened his pace slightly, but he didn't dare to get too close, always grasping a looming back.
After chasing the tea, the road was still calm and normal, Lu Mingfei thought that this time he was afraid that he would inevitably return empty-handed, but at the same time, there was a faint sound of breaking the sky on the side behind him.
Lu Mingfei didn't have time to hide his figure, he looked sideways, and saw a figure flying by the grass and trees on the side of the road, he was also in the other party's sight, but the person ignored him, and the target was the two people in front of him.
The person under the black cloak in front of him also sensed the crisis behind him, and he didn't care too much, his body had already rushed forward as soon as he moved, and the person chasing him obviously sped up a little faster when he saw this.
In an instant, three figures shuttled on the road, bringing a burst of sound of breaking the sky.
During the chase and escape, several people had no reservations, and the momentum around them was revealed without reservation, and Lu Mingfei immediately noticed that the cultivation of the two of them was in the realm of enlightenment.
The person chasing behind him was even faster, and in a short time he had narrowed the distance between the two sides, and suddenly jumped in front of the black-clothed cloak, and the young man who looked like a man had long since fallen somewhere.
"If the pill is left, it can spare your life. ”
The man behind him said in a deep voice, with a fierce look on his face, Lu Mingfei hid in the dark and watched, and saw that the person was a middle-aged man, who had cultivated to the seventh grade of enlightenment. And this person has already seen Lu Mingfei in the previous auction house, no wonder the news is so fast, it turned out that he sneaked into the auction hall early in the morning, and followed after waiting for the buyer to leave.
Among the several layouts, when today's fish is the largest, Lu Mingfei was overjoyed and became more cautious, not daring to be careless.
On the other hand, the person wearing the black hat is also in the realm of enlightenment, and there is only a second-grade cultivation, once the two sides confront, the momentum has obviously been suppressed and has fallen behind.
Lu Mingfei glanced back, and it was estimated that Li Qing had also chased after him, and he was ready to make a move at any time.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around again, another person appeared out of thin air on the side of the road, as if he had a tacit understanding with the person before, and surrounded the man in black in the middle one after the other.
This person is slightly shorter, and he is also a cultivator of the Seven Grades of Enlightenment.
Inspecting the man's cultivation under the cloak, the short and fat man smiled disdainfully and said to the middle-aged man: "Sixth, your speed is too slow, since you are late, then you can do it." ”
Seeing that the other party was approaching step by step, a cold voice suddenly came from the black cloak: "Shameless!"
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, just because this voice was really familiar, and the next moment he was stunned, and his whole face became cloudy.
A snow-white arm poked out from the black cloak, and a long whip struck the stocky man like a spirit snake without warning.
Hearing that familiar voice, Lu Mingfei was still a little puzzled, but seeing this familiar long whip, he already had a positive judgment, and he never expected that it was Jiang Yanying who was hidden in the black cloak.
The short and fat man took a step back suddenly, and was almost swept away by the whip, his face was already full of anger, and at the same time, the man known as the sixth man instantly bullied forward, and there was an inexplicable handful of floating dust in his sleeve, and he swept towards Jiang Yanying.
Although it is floating dust, it is extremely fast, compared to the power of the sword, Jiang Yanying twisted her waist in a hurry, raised her head and dodged backwards, although she avoided the floating dust, but she was also lifted off the cloak on her head, revealing a few strands of scattered hair.
It seemed that one move failed, but in fact, there was still a follow-up move, and the floating dust silver suddenly skyrocketed several times, and suddenly wrapped around Jiang Yanying's ankle.
It turned out that it was just a false move before, and the real killer move was to play the next plate.
