But it was already too late, Qin Shuangyue's hand had already touched the polyyin basin, and a layer of white frost immediately appeared on her hand, and then quickly spread to her body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a matter of moments, he was transformed into a white sculpture, with the same disapproving smile on his face.

Ji Wuyi didn't care about anything else, his fingers were like the wind and clicked on him more than a dozen times in a row, then pinched his mouth open and stuffed a scarlet pill into it, and then slapped it out with a sudden palm, only to hear Qin Shuangyue's throat make a 'grunt' sound, and the pill had already slipped into his abdomen. The pill worked very quickly, but in an instant, the hoarfrost on his body gradually faded.

After a while, Qin Shuangyue woke up slowly, and her first words were: "Damn, what an evil thing!"

Ji Wuyi, who was sitting at the table drinking, glanced at him and said lightly: "There are tens of thousands of yin souls in this yin basin, and it is a great luck that you didn't become an idiot." Remember, don't touch things of unknown origin. ”

Qin Shuangyue's nose twitched a few times, and suddenly she looked up to the sky and sneezed loudly, took out a handkerchief and wiped her nose, and said unconvinced: "Then why are you okay?"

Ji Wuyi played with the wine glass in his hand and said, "The feeling of this Yin Soul Devouring Body is terrifying, but how can it compare to the Extreme Yin Land. ”

Hearing the words 'Extreme Yin Land', Qin Shuangyue couldn't help but shudder and said, "I don't want to go to that ghost place in my life, I just stayed at the entrance for a while, and when I came back, I lay down for more than half a year." I don't know how you survived, but you stayed in it for seven days and seven nights. ”

Ji Wuyi smiled slightly, pointed to the bell at the door and said, "This thing rang before, but you didn't wake up at the time, so I didn't respond." Would you like to go out and have a look?"

"What time is it?" Qin Shuangyue said busily when she heard this.

Ji Wuyi estimated a little and said, "It should be almost noon." ”

"Oops. Qin Shuangyue slapped the table and stood up, and said hurriedly, "Let's quickly change our clothes and go out." The auction starts at noon, so don't miss it. ”

......

In the grotto, the old man was still sitting cross-legged, and what was slightly different from before was that not far in front of him lay a girl curled up in a ball, which was Tang Zixi. She seemed to find the position uncomfortable and twisted slightly.

Seeing this, the wrinkles on the old man's face slowly relaxed, revealing a kind smile, and said, "Since you are awake, let's talk to the old man." His voice was not only dry but also a little sharp, sounding like an iron spoon scraping the bottom of the pot, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Tang Zixi saw that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he hurriedly got up and lowered his head and said, "Hello old man!"

The old man bowed his head slightly and said, "The old man sent someone to arrest you, but not only did you not hold a grudge, but instead saluted the old man." It seems that Cheryl taught you well. ”

Tang Zixi was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and was surprised that his speculation was correct, and sure enough, this old man sent someone to kidnap him, and he was happy that he obviously knew his mother when he heard his tone, and his friendship was not shallow, so he said curiously: "Dare to ask who the old man is? How do you know the name of my mother?"

"You call me Jing Weng. The old man smiled, patted the stone bench beside him, and said, "Come here, let the old man take a good look at you." ”

"Yes, Jing Weng. Tang Zixi hesitated, but walked over obediently. It's just that she didn't sit next to him according to the words, but picked a stone bench a little farther away and sat on the edge carefully.

Jing Weng looked at her and said with emotion: "You are so old in a blink of an eye." Have you been doing well all these years? Have the Tang family bullied you?"

Tang Zixi couldn't figure out his identity, so he had to say vaguely: "With Lao Jingweng's concern, it's all good." ”

Jing Weng smiled when he heard this, and said kindly: "You don't have to be afraid, my father and I are old friends. The old man hugged you back then. ”

"Oh. Tang Zixi's expression was a little embarrassed, anyone who was hugged by a person of the opposite sex in front of him would be uncomfortable, although the other party was just a gray-haired old man.

Jing Weng instantly understood her thoughts, and added with a smile: "At that time, you were just a baby, and you couldn't even speak. ”

Tang Zixi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a dry smile: "It turns out that Jing Weng knows my father, why have I never heard my father mention it, could it be that you are my father's friend in the rivers and lakes?"

"Friends on the rivers and lakes?" Jing Weng was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of doubt first appeared on his face, and gradually this trace of doubt was replaced by a heavy melancholy, and sighed, "It turns out that you still don't know anything." ”

"What do you know?" This time it was Tang Zixi's turn to be confused, scratched his head and said, "I know most of my father's friends, even those uncles and uncles on the rivers and lakes, I know a lot, but I don't seem to have seen you before." As he spoke, he suddenly understood, and said, "I know, you must be my father's friend from a long time ago." I guess I met my father when he was still in the Xizhou Inspection Division. ”

She thought that she must have said it right this time, but Jing Weng didn't make a sound for a long time, and only sighed for a long time: "That's it, since Xue Rou didn't tell you, naturally she has a reason." It's better for you to ask her yourself later. ”

"My mother is really not dead?" Tang Zixi suddenly stood up from the stone bench, his face ecstatic. Although she had seen the golden step shake that Qin Shuangyue had taken out before, and Li Ling had also threatened her with it, she never dared to really believe it. The reason is simple, she doesn't want to go through the pain of losing a loved one again. It was so terrible that it made her heart twist every midnight dream.

Who knew that a simple sentence made Jing Weng, who had always been kind and pleasant, change his face, snorted angrily, and said murderously: "With the old man here, who can hurt her in the slightest? Who dares to hurt her in the slightest? Bastard thing, don't be strong if you don't have this ability, if it weren't for his love for taking in your mother and daughter at the risk of death, without Li Xiao's hands, the old man would have killed him with his own hands!"

The more Tang Zixi listened, the more wrong he became, and said, "Jing Weng, who are you going to kill?"

"Who else is there besides Tang Mingru's bastard boy?" Jing Weng said angrily.

"Why are you scolding my father!" Tang Zixi stood up when he heard this, glaring angrily at Jing Weng.

At the same time as the tension was raging here, in a certain room, in front of an hourglass half a person high, a middle-aged man was standing with his hands in his hands.

With a crisp knock on the door, a ghost-faced man bowed in and said, "Master!"

The man said lightly, "What do you command?"

Jing Weng said that everything was going on as usual. The Ghostface said respectfully.

The man turned around slowly, he didn't wear a grimace mask, his slender eyes were shining under his cold face, and he said with a bow: "Let's start!"

"Yes!" Ghostface walked out of the room and said to the people waiting on either side, "Go!"

At this moment, the spacious hall was already full of people, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the mediocre-looking woman standing on the stage.

The woman's gaze slowly swept over the audience, as if she was looking for someone.

It's just that since these people came to this underground auction, they naturally don't want to be recognized, and they all have different degrees of disguise, so most of their faces look stiff and weird. Occasionally, a few normal faces were people she didn't know.

After scanning the circle to no avail, she did not continue to delay time, but said succinctly: "My name is Auntie, and I am the host of this auction. Her voice was not high, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, obviously with good internal strength, "Everyone knows the rules of the auction, so I won't repeat them." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the auction officially began, without any delay.

Immediately afterwards, several young women with bewitching bodies came out of the background, each holding a gold plate, but the contents of the plate were covered by a red cloth and it was impossible to see what it was. Instead, a refreshing fragrance wafted out, causing a commotion in the crowd below.

"Millennial Polygonum multiflori, millennium ginseng, and Tianshan Snow Lotus. The concubine uncovered the red cloths one by one, revealing the true face of the things on the plate.

She didn't add too many adjectives, just gave her name briefly. But enough to drive those people crazy. When someone shouted, "I'll give you 10,000 taels of gold." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at a big fat man in the corner, although the other party was wearing a cloak and a mask, but there were still sharp-eyed people who recognized him, and whispered to the people around him: "This is Gou Shangshu Gou Yun's son Gou Tang." ”

The person next to him squinted his eyes when he heard this, and said coldly: "Shame on you." ”

The concubine on the stage was also slightly stunned, and her eyes locked on the big fat man who was bidding loudly and said, "This guest, if you want to bid, just raise the number plate issued to you." After a pause, he said, "The reserve price is 10,000 taels of gold, and each increase shall not be less than 5,000." Her words were obviously deliberately added, and the eldest prince Gou was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Soon, people bid one after another, and the successive signs made the concubine a little busy, and she kept counting in her mouth, but in a moment, these three things reached a sky-high price of 100,000 taels of gold.

The last bidder was the person in the VIP hall on the second floor, because the concubine raised her head, looked at a dangling bell hanging on the silk mesh and said, "The ninth guest bid 100,000 taels of gold, is there anything higher than this?"

There was silence in the hall, and even Gou Tang, who had shouted the loudest before, was silent. Although these three things are extremely precious, there is actually no shortage of these things in the hands of those who come here today, but the year is not so long. Since it has reached the sky-high price of 100,000 taels, there is no point in grabbing it again. Because they are all playing with a small abacus in their hearts, this kind of good thing appeared in the first round, and the rest is naturally self-evident.

After shouting three times in a row, no one made any more bids, and after scanning the circle with her eyes to confirm, she simply knocked the small hammer in her hand and said, "These three things were auctioned by the guests in the No. 9 VIP room." The women from before walked out again, picked up the gold plate and headed towards the second floor.

Just when everyone was waiting for her to invite a second lot, the concubine put away the small hammer and sat on the Taishi chair on the side.

At first, the people in the audience thought that she was waiting for the delivery of the ninth guest, but who knew that half a cup of tea had passed, and the concubine was still motionless.
