Chapter 27 Undercurrents
After eating, Lin Xuan and the others found a hotel casually, but because there were too many people, Lin Xuan and the five of them only opened two rooms, one of which was snatched by Jian Si from a gentleman.
"Young master, you and the boss should live in a room, and the three of us will squeeze in. Kenji looked at the two rooms he wanted to face and said.
"It's okay with whoever is in the room, you all come over first. Lin Xuan nodded and beckoned to the three people who were about to go to the opposite side.
"What's wrong?" Jian Yi looked at Lin Xuan, a little puzzled,
Lin Xuan and the others entered the room, closed the doors and windows, and arranged a formation to prevent the partition wall from having ears.
"Later, in the evening, you will go separately to inquire about the City Lord's Mansion and the auction place, depending on the situation, you can make a move, but you can't expose yourself. Lin Xuan faced the four people, especially Sword Three and Sword Four, and let the two of them go together, and they couldn't fly upside down.
The main thing is the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, the layout of the auction, and the lots of this auction, as well as who are the people from the north and what strength.
"Let's get to the bottom of the situation, I think this auction is unusual. ”
"Okay" The four of them nodded, although they entered the Central Plains through the land of chaos in order to go north, but since they met it, they didn't let it go.
Sanssouci City, known as the gateway to the south of the border, the city closest to the chaotic land, has often had riots in recent years, and it has always been the city lord who suppressed it, in the eyes of the people of Sanssouci City, the city lord is the real master, and is the guardian saint who blesses the peace and tranquility of Sanssouci City.
Lin Xuan walked on the street, although it did not have the prosperity and grandeur of the Central Plains big city, but it also had the charm of a small city, although it was noon at the moment, it was also the most lively time in Sanssouci City, and at this moment there were several figures in front of him surrounding an old man, arguing,
"It's him, this old goatee liar, who cheated me out of all my money that day!" There was a little girl around, with several guards, who were surrounding the old man at the moment, with wide eyes and gritted teeth.
The old man, who was surrounded by people with her, had a somewhat rickety figure, his eyes were cloudy like beans, the bridge of his nose was collapsed, his gray hair was like weeds, he had a goatee, and his beard was curly. In his withered hands, he was carrying a large jujube red cloth wrap, how obscene it looked.
Stopped by someone, the old man saw that the situation was not good, turned around and wanted to escape, but saw several arc-shaped sword fingers swept up, swishing endlessly, and stone chips flying. On the ground around him, a clearly visible circle appeared, and the old man was so frightened that he did not dare to move.
"Don't leave in a hurry, if it's a misunderstanding, I'll let you go. A middle-aged man behind the little girl looked at the old man of the goat and said lightly, but the tone in his mouth was unquestionable.
"You bad old man, give me back the money you cheated that day, otherwise, or ......"
The little girl pointed at the old man with a goatee, wanting to say something cruel, but she had never threatened people like this, and after thinking for a long time, she said angrily: "Otherwise, I won't let you have a good time." ”
The old man with the goatee was stunned, looked at the little girl carefully, and then beat his chest and shouted: "Wronged! Little sister, did I say that day that there are some flaws in your silver, and there may be adulteration in it, let me take a look, right?" ”
The little girl thought for a while, nodded and admitted: "That's right, that's what you said, so I'll give it to you." ”
"Yes, but when I got it, I was separated from you because of the crowd, and I was separated. So, it's really not the real Yuanshi who wants to deceive you! Little sister, think about it again, is there too many people on the street that day. The old man with the goatee even claimed that he had been wronged.
"There seemed to be a lot of people that day, and as soon as I turned my head, you were gone. The little girl thought about it, and it seemed like that.
"Well, as long as you give me back the money, I won't pursue it. The little girl pouted.
The old man with the goatee spread his hands and said with a sad face: "I looked for your little sister for a long time that day, but I didn't touch you, thinking that I would never see you again." So, I spent those True Yuan Stones. ”
"You ......" The little girl pointed at the old man, so angry that she couldn't speak, this old man is so hateful, obviously a big liar.
Lin Xuan, who was on the side, listened to the whole story, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, this little girl is too easy to deceive. When others said it, she was stupid to give it to others.
However, Lin Xuan stood beside him, not to mention that the group of guards behind the little girl were all masters, and the middle-aged man who had just made a move was also a monk in the early stage of qi induction. , and Lin Xuan didn't have the heart to say that he would be upset when he saw one thing casually.
"I don't care, if you old man spend all the money, either pay it back or replace it with something else. The little girl came up with this solution.
"Something else? ”
The old man with the goatee fumbled around for a while, grabbing a flea, "Is it okay to use this instead?"
“......”
The people around him suddenly laughed, and even Lin Xuan was speechless, and the middle-aged man behind tried to resist the urge to beat people, this old man with a goatee was not only a liar, but also a scoundrel.
Even Lin Xuan was a little surprised, couldn't this old man see the form clearly? Not to mention the group of master guards and monks in the Qi Induction Period around him, even the little girl could clean him up, he could still be like this, if he wasn't really afraid of death, he had the strength to not be afraid of these people.
"Ah...... , you old bastard, I'm going to beat someone!"
The little girl couldn't help it, her little feet stomped on the ground, and a clear footprint appeared on the solid ground, which frightened the old man with a goatee.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, little sister, if you think something good about me, just take it. I, Hu Sanye, must offer it with both hands. The old man with the goatee said hurriedly.
"Hmph...... , what good things can you have in this old man. ”
Looking at Hu Sanye up and down, the little girl was very depressed, but she was unwilling, her eyes turned and fell on the jujube red cloth package in the old man's hand.
"Open it and see, I'm going to pick the most expensive thing. The little girl said hatefully.
The package was opened, there were a lot of things inside, but they were in tatters, and with Lin Xuan's vicious eyes, he was stunned that he didn't find a valuable item.
"Little sister, don't be polite, just choose, just take it!" Hu Sanye smiled all over his face, very flattering.
The little girl was dumbfounded, she didn't expect such a big package to be a tattered package, what else to choose, what to take?
However, being deceived by such a lewd old man, and being teased, made her even more unwilling now, and squatted down angrily, really rummaging through the rags, trying to find something slightly valuable, so that she could feel more comfortable.
However, when Lin Xuan was intently watching what was happening in the field, he suddenly woke up, why would he be so happy about this matter, and he didn't have the slightest precautions,
Immediately, he mobilized the mountains and rivers in his body again, and forcibly pulled himself out of that mysterious state, and when he looked at the field again, he found that everyone's eyes were confused, only that Hu Sanye looked at everyone with a smile,
After he found out that Lin Xuan had seen it, he immediately glanced at Lin Xuan with some surprise, but this glance made Lin Xuan almost fall again, so Lin Xuan ran the mountains and rivers with all his might, so as not to be confused by those eyes.
Magic?
A word suddenly appeared in Lin Xuan's heart, and it was a very powerful illusion cultivation, just a pair of eyes could make Lin Xuan fall into an illusion, and if it wasn't for Shanhe Zhu, he didn't know what would happen to him.
Lin Xuan bowed to Hu Sanye, and then flew away, quickly leaving the place of right and wrong.
"I didn't expect there to be such interesting people here" The old man in the field said to himself as he was leaving, and then waved his hand to put away his package, and walked in the direction where Lin Xuan left.
"Ah, let him run again. After Hu Sanye left, the people at the scene suddenly regained their consciousness, the little girl looked at the old man who was gone, and suddenly stomped her feet in place, jumping and screaming, and the other guards were also puzzled, I don't know how the old man left.
After Lin Xuan left, he realized that he had been scared into a cold sweat behind his back, and then smiled bitterly, he had just come out and encountered such a terrifying existence, and when he was about to go back, he turned an alley and looked up, his expression was bitter, his lips were slightly stiff, and he was a little speechless.
A figure appeared in front of him, it was the old man with a goatee he had just seen, he was waving to Lin Xuan, still looking obscene.
"What a fate, little friend, we meet again. Hu Sanye looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, but Lin Xuan couldn't say anything, so he could only smile bitterly,
"Seniors are good" Lin Xuan hugged his fist at Hu Sanye, thinking, you must be following me, otherwise I would have met in this remote alley.
"Stinky boy, you caused me to lose a gambling fight, you say, what should I do about this?" Suddenly, Hu Sanye's stinky face turned flat, his eyes were sideways, and he squinted at Lin Xuan,
"Gambling fight?" Lin Xuan was puzzled for a while, and looked at Hu Sanye with some doubts,
"I once made a bet with an old immortal that in the backward land of the south of the border, if anyone could break my illusion, he would lose a treasure, and let the guy who broke my illusion choose a thing. Hu Sanye said in an air, and then, he took down the dilapidated package behind him, spread it out, and put it on the ground.
"You choose" Hu Sanye stood aside angrily,
"This ......" Lin Xuan couldn't figure out Hu Sanye's temper, so he could only follow what he said,
After looking for a long time, Lin Xuan finally found an old chessboard in a pile of "garbage".
"Hey, this chessboard ......" Lin Xuan's eyes were surprised, he didn't expect to be able to see that kind of chessboard in this southern land. ,
"Okay, just take this. Lin Xuan took the chessboard and said to Hu Sanye,
Suddenly, in the gloomy alley, there was a cry of crying father and mother, and the old man with a goatee, Hu Sanye, hugged this chessboard tightly, refusing to let go, as if this was his heart and soul baby, but it startled Lin Xuan and was a little overwhelmed.
"Little brother, this is just a gamble, you are also a cultivator, don't be so cruel, when I was in the bitter cold land of the far north, wandering for more than ten years, this chessboard has always been with me, it is like my relatives. Do you really have the heart to take it away from me......"
Speaking of later, Hu Sanye's voice was stalking, tears flowed down his face, and he couldn't cry anymore, and his sad appearance couldn't help but empathize.
