Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 151: The Treasure Race Begins
On this day, the sheng songs in the Qi Sect were boiling, and the drums were noisy.
More than a dozen big families all sat down, quietly waiting for the start of the treasure competition.
Due to the large number of people, the main hall of the Qi Sect could not be accommodated, so the location of the treasure competition could only be arranged on the central martial arts arena, and the disciples of the Qi Sect placed the tables and chairs in advance for the above tea and refreshments, and sent several servants to serve around the tables, which can be said to be very thoughtful.
It stands to reason that this should have been a huge treasure hunting feast, but the strange thing is that none of the people present from the family were smiling, each with a cold face, and was extremely hostile to everything around them.
And among them, especially the people from the Gao and Chen families, their faces were the most gloomy, and their eyes frequently swept to the people around them, with a cold chill.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely stiff.
He Yi followed Zhong Ci and sat with Zhong Zhuo and Zhong Min, perhaps affected by this inexplicable cold atmosphere, no one spoke, and even said hello.
"It's really strange, looking at the faces of these people, how can they seem to be guarding against thieves......" Zhong Ci muttered quietly.
"Who knows? Maybe they're really guarding against thieves. He Yi smiled indifferently, picked up a piece of tea from the table very casually, and stuffed it into his mouth, looking very comfortable.
"Hmph, wait and see, the old man wants to see what kind of bull ghosts, snakes, and gods are making trouble in the dark!" Zhong Zhuo's voice revealed a sense of anger.
Yesterday, from early morning until 10 p.m., monks from the family came to the door, threatening that their spiritual property had been stolen and that they would be searched in the hospital.
They have a tough attitude, and every sentence carries a strong sense of doubt and hostility, which gives people a very bad feeling.
The people of the Zhong family are arrogant and fierce, so it is naturally impossible for people to search their residences at will, and everyone who comes will be turned away.
However, there were more and more people who came to the door to question, and it was about to cause a conflict, so the Zhong family, under the persuasion of He Yi, opened the door and asked those people from the family to come in and search.
Although it is said that the clear person is self-purifying, although it is said that he takes a step back and the sky is wide, but the step of withdrawal is forced to retreat, not willingly.
Therefore, even a neutral person like Zhong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. One part is for the family monks, and the other part is dissatisfied with the Qi Sect's disregard.
For this situation, He Yi is happy to see it.
The mastermind behind the theft of spiritual property is undoubtedly the Qi Sect, and the facts are in front of him, and he can't be wrong.
Although He Yi didn't know exactly what the Qi Cultivation Sect wanted to achieve, they had indeed provoked hatred among the cultivatorsββββ He Yi also wanted to see this hatred grow bigger and bigger.
It's best to fight, it's best to kill a few more, it's best to spread this hatred to the Xianmen behind it, and it's best to have a few more tough battles......
He wished that all the monks were dead.
In this way, he can directly send a large army to recover the entire Rongzhou!
......
......
Strange to say.
I don't know what happened during this night......
Within a day, the entire North Pavilion was in chaos, and there were irascible searchers everywhere, who would draw their swords against each other if they disagreed.
After several large-scale conflicts, the parties were forced to stop in order not to let the losses become more and more significant.
After that, the various families shared the information in one place, and it was suddenly discovered that almost all the families had lost some spiritual property more or less overnight.
Some lost a few boxes, some lost a few cars, which is quite a few, and the most heavy losses are the Chen family and the Gao family.
In these two families, almost all the spiritual properties were looted, and there was not even a single box left.
I don't know what kind of psychology it is, after learning the news that all the belongings of the Chen and Gao families were stolen, those Xiuzhen families who lost less got a little balance from it, and that anger was gradually replaced by a sense of schadenfreude.
At this point, the turmoil has subsided temporarily.
The north is cold, the snow is covered all year round on this Baektu Mountain, and the climate in the Frozen Moon Valley is even colder.
This is nothing to the monks, but the enlightened people on the other side, all wrapped in heavy winter coats and animal skins, look a little different.
However, they didn't care about the eyes of these cultivators, they gathered together to talk and wait, even if they were pointed at by some disciples of the family, they didn't care at all.
"Brother Zhong, we meet again. β
Chu Chengcang and his entourage came to He Yi's side and took the initiative to say hello.
"It turned out to be Brother Chu, fortunately. β
He Yi got up to salute in return, and Yu Guang looked behind him, only bringing two people to follow.
One of them is Yao, but the other person He Yi has never seen it, his whole body is wrapped in a thick robe, wearing a black and blue turban, a Miao Jiang outfit, and he can't see his face clearly.
The distance between the two was not close, but He Yi could clearly smell a faint bitter medicinal smell, thinking that he should be a master of medicine.
"This is Lan Qiu, the Nanzhao clan, who has never liked to see people, don't blame Brother Zhong. Chu Zhicang noticed He Yi's gaze and explained with a smile.
Then the conversation changed and looked at Zhong Zhuo beside He Yi: "Presumably this is Zhong Zhuo's predecessor of the Zhong family." In Xia Chu negative Cang, I have heard for a long time that Zhong's predecessors were born with a different appearance, and they have the appearance of tearing tigers and devouring wolves. β
Zhong Zhuo's blood and red beard, his face is hideous, if he is not a familiar person, he will be scared out of a cold sweat just by looking at it, so he has a reputation.
It was not difficult for Chu Chengcang to recognize Zhong Zhuo at a glance.
"I have some friendship with Yang Ye, so I don't have to see each other. Zhong Zhuo nodded indifferently, he obviously knew Chu Chengcang's identity.
"Haha. Master Yang has mentioned you to me many times, if there is a chance, the juniors will definitely set up a banquet, so that Master Yang and the seniors have a good time. "It was rare to have the opportunity to contact the high-level of the Zhong family, and Chu Chengcang took the opportunity to throw an olive branch.
"No need, it's a violation of family rules. β
β......β
It seems that he didn't expect Zhong Zhuo not to give him any face, and the smile on Chu Chengcang's face froze for a moment.
However, his good cultivation still made him suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and he still looked light, and said respectfully: "In this case, don't bother the seniors first, and the juniors will leave." Brother Zhong, farewell. β
He saluted He Yi again, and then turned to leave.
"Brother Chu walks slowly. β
He Yi glanced thoughtfully at Chu Yingcang's back.
............
"Young master, the Zhong family has been in hiding from the world for a long time, but it can't be won over by Corporal Lixian alone. For the sake of today's plan, it is still necessary to take Bailongzhai and Beihai Division 2 as the main targets. β
After returning to the place where the enlightened people were seated, Yao Ji personally handed Chu Chengcang a cup of tea, took the opportunity to attach it to his ear, and reminded him in a low voice.
"I naturally know this, but I'm just a little curious, why can he be so close to the Zhong family?"
Chu Chengcang took the teacup, used the action of drinking tea as a cover, and secretly looked at He Yi, who was laughing with Zhong Ci and Zhong Min, with a little envy in his eyes, but more curiosity.
What should be done to make the Zhong family, who has never paid attention to worldly things, take the initiative to hide his identity for him?
"Brother Lan, what do you think?" Chu Chengcang asked Lan Qiu beside him in a low voice.
"Does the young master let me watch people, or let me see a doctor?" Lan Qiu's voice was hoarse, like a traveler in the desert who hadn't drunk water for a long time.
"See a doctor, Brother Lan, do you mean ......" Hearing this, Chu Chengcang and Yao Ji glanced at each other, and their eyes turned to Lan Qiu at the same time, their eyes full of surprise.
β......β
As time went on, the number of people on the martial arts arena grew.
With the arrival of the last group of family monks, the long-awaited treasure competition conference was finally announced to have begun in a warm cannon sound.
"Treasure Competition! Tell all of you that there are 58 treasures in this treasure, 55 treasures and 3 treasures. β
"Fan Bao is placed on the treasure table in the center of the martial arts field, for you to choose at will, if there are many people who fancy a Fan Bao, you can bid directly at the waiter!"
"After the competition is over, the waiter will present the three treasures one by one, for everyone present to compete for the treasure, bid fairly, and the one with the highest price will win! Please abide by it!"
A disciple of the Qi Cultivation Sect stepped forward to read out the rules of the treasure competition, and immediately after, a middle-aged man in a gray robe slowly walked out of the hall.
When he arrived in the center of the martial arts arena, he saluted the surroundings and said with a full sense of anger: "Everyone, the deity is the sect master of the Qi Cultivation Sect, Hong Jing. It is fate that I am fortunate to gather here with you today, so I will sit with you and enjoy the snow and treasures. β
After speaking, the Qi Cultivation Sect Master also sat down in the banquet, and then clapped his hands, and soon two rows of tall female waiters slowly walked from the outside of the venue, each holding a jade box in his hand, placed above the treasure platform in the center.
When the lid of the box was opened, the jeweled mist suddenly overflowed on the stage.
"This Qi Cultivation Sect is shrewd, knowing that all the families are coming for those three treasures, but they still have to put the ordinary treasures first, and then the treasures, so as to push the other side to earn more. It's a shame not to go into business. Zhong Ci said with disdain.
Even so, her eyes had already been attracted by the treasure in the jade box.
Those mortal treasures, although they are useless to the Zhong family, but their delicate appearance and pretty colors have a fatal temptation to women.
"What, do you want to go over and have a look?" Looking at her funny appearance, He Yi wanted to laugh a little.
"Okay, let's go......" Zhong Ci's eyes lit up and he stood up from his chair suddenly.
"Ci'er, no. At this moment, Zhong Zhuo, who was the first seat, glared at Zhong Ci.
This time to participate in the treasure competition, all the materials and spiritual properties brought by their Zhong family were lost in the Snow Temple, where is the capital to buy these ordinary treasures?
If He Yi hadn't agreed to take pictures of the lightning strike wood for the Zhong family, they might have left at this time, how could they still sit here calmly?
"Second uncle, I'm just going to take a look......" Zhong Ci didn't dare to disobey Zhong Zhuo, stuck out his tongue in disobedience, and sat back down.
These mortal treasures in the field are not very attractive to families from all walks of life, unless there are some magic weapons with special functions, few people bid to buy them.
Coupled with the fact that almost all the families had stolen a part of their spiritual property the night before, this made their bids even more cautious.
As a result, this treasure competition scene, which should have been extremely lively, became extremely shabby, and most of the hours passed, and only a few of the fifty-five treasures in that field were auctioned.
If this momentum continues, it is estimated that you will not be able to wait until it gets dark.
He Yi tilted his head slightly, and his gaze skimmed over the face of the Qi Cultivation Sect Master very casually, taking in the slightly stunned expression of the other party.
After a while, he got up and stretched, and said to Zhong Ci beside him, "Let's go, let's go to the venue and have a look." β
After saying that, he couldn't help but pick up Zhong Ci and walked to the venue......
