Chapter Ninety-Three: The Lonely Monk
Three days later, Yu Hualong returned to the Brotherhood with his men, but the sight in front of him made everyone's angry brains stop all at once, and they saw that the sight was full of devastation and charred black, and only occasionally a figure could be seen searching for something in the ruins.
"What's going on?" surprised him, and he just stared at the ruins in a daze.
A few people who were coming out of the stockade with a mess of things, when they saw Yu Hualong coming back, they were so frightened that they almost knelt down, they wanted to run but didn't dare, they definitely couldn't run away from Yu Hualong, so they had to come forward with a crying voice: "You can come back from the third master, the big boss and the second master have all been killed, and even the village has been burned by a fire." ”
"Ah, the two elder brothers were all killed?" Yu Hualong was shocked, and then hurriedly asked, "What about the lady?"
"Madame and aunt have all packed up their belongings and run away, and now there are only thirty of us left here, living by collecting some materials. ”
“... That section of the clear?"
"Ran. No one knew where they had gone, and even the three disciples of the Zhengqi Sect had all died. ”
"Duan Qing, I am bound to break your corpse into ten thousand pieces!" Yu Hualong cut off a piece of wood with one palm, made an oath, took a deep look at the ruins, and then resolutely turned around and said coldly: "Brothers, I will take you to the Zhengqi Sect." ”
Whether it is for the revenge of the people of Bailifeng, or for those treasures, it is unknown.
......
Duan Qing stayed in the library for a whole day, until the light in the store had to be turned on, and the young man said with a bitter face: "This young man, you see that the sky is so dark, and you are the only one left in the store, we are also closing, which book did you choose?"
Duan Qing came back to his senses, "Oh?... Oh, it's closed, sorry, I haven't chosen it today. ”
"Then come back tomorrow?" the young man asked, and his footsteps had already begun to get the gate.
"Good. Duan Qing nodded, put a copy of the "Essentials of Talisman Making" back in its place, turned around and walked out of the store.
"I really owe it!" The young man slapped his mouth suddenly, and then looked at Duan Qing's back and made a contemptuous look: "I've never seen someone who can forget all his meals by reading books, I'm not afraid that you won't buy books, but you can buy me a bowl of noodles, even a bowl of tea?
Duan Qing bought three more steamed buns and went back to the inn, he didn't plan to do anything else recently, there are still three hundred copper coins in his pocket, ten copper plates a day, three copper plates spent on eating, and five copper plates for accommodation, counting that he can read books here for fifteen days, he can probably read all the books, but unfortunately he is not allowed to copy, otherwise half the time will be enough...
Duan Qingzheng was thinking about the question, and suddenly felt a figure walking quickly from the side, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but this figure followed him like a shadow, and waved his hand and said: "This son is okay, okay, okay, hungry... The family hasn't eaten for a long time..."
This person kept pestering Duan Qing left and right, and the trills he made when he spoke seemed to be terminally ill, but looking at his steps, he knew that he was strong and strong, and he must be a veteran.
However, the beggar suddenly stopped trembling as he spoke, and raised his black hand to point at Duan Qing: "Huh? I know you, isn't it the little beggar a few days ago, what's the matter! Change your clothes and come out to cheat? Look at the profession you chose, and then look at the place you go, the bookstore, what kind of money can you have there? If you want to cheat, you have to go to a place like an auction house where rich people come and go!"
Duan Qing turned to leave.
The beggar spat on the ground: "I thought I wouldn't recognize me when I changed my clothes? Who am I? The beggars on this street are all up to me, and they pretend not to know me,!~"
Two female beggars surrounded us one on the left and one on the right, "That's that, Angkor led us to make a fortune, what kind of profession does that kid have?"
"Yes, yes, I look down on cheaters the most, it's better than us beggars, we just don't have money, we just want money, not stupid, how real. ”
......
On the way back to the inn, Duan Qing recalled the three words "auction house" in the beggar's mouth, the book said that this kind of place is a place where valuable items are gathered, and it is also a place where celebrities from major families in the city come and go, many rare treasures are bought and sold here, and the one with the highest price will get it, I don't know what the price of the Yiqi Pill he refines will be?
However, Duan Qing's first consideration was to read all those books first, and there was a real lack of systematic knowledge in this area, even if it was only basic knowledge.
When I returned to the inn, I asked the only Xiao Er in the store for a pot of boiled water, and casually asked about the auction house, but Xiao Er didn't know, saying that he had just run from the settlement not long ago, and he didn't know anything, Duan Qing had no choice but to give up, scalded his feet, and after eating boiled water while nibbling on steamed buns, he began to meditate and practice on the bed.
"Although I am still in this dilapidated world, the order in the city is incomparable to that in the garbage mountain, so I simply go to the auction house and try my luck, in case I sell it for a good price, and I don't need to run around in the future. It's a pity that my godfather didn't have time to enjoy it!" Duan Qing felt a little sorry in his heart...
After a night of silence, when Duan Qing woke up the next day, he felt that the time to impact the foundation building period would not be far away, and the previous series of battles was still good for his own cultivation, but he still chose to read a book, once a person calmed down from that kind of extremely dilapidated and chaotic place, he would be a little uncomfortable, but he was very eager for this kind of life.
Subsequently, for ten days in a row, Duan Qing spent time in the library, and occasionally saw the beggar, at ease, hugging left and right, as if the beggar had done it to his extent, as if he really had the capital to look down on people.
There was no money in his pocket, Duan Qing decided to go to the material market to try his luck, but unfortunately there were all the most basic materials, not even as good as those collected on the garbage mountain, and he didn't see the slightest news about the Dan furnace, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder those people were so desperate.
He only watched all the way and didn't say anything, occasionally stopping to listen to what others had to say, like an unemployed vagrant wanderer, in fact, he mainly wanted to inquire about the news of the auction house, and didn't want to ask, because no one was trustworthy, and the news he heard might not be accurate, but the news he asked might be even more inaccurate.
The main building is a four-story small building, the front and back courtyards are very spacious, and there are more than ten people hidden in the secret, and each cultivation has reached the sixth to eighth level of the qi refining period, which is quite powerful at a glance.
I went around and came to the main entrance, there was a large blackboard in front of the door, on which the content of the recent auction was written, the most eye-catching was a thousand-year-old ginseng, and three lower-grade spirit stones, in addition to some jewels and the like, all of which had been personally identified by the appraiser Huang Houde, Duan Qing was not the slightest interest.
At this time, someone came out in front of the door, and a middle-aged man with kind eyebrows and slightly gray hair walked out accompanied by several people, said a few polite words, and left with his fists.
