Chapter 171: Box No. 1
"This person doesn't have any grudges with me, and I'm afraid this temptation is just to know my true strength. A very light smile flashed in the depths of Han Shi's eyes.
Walking into the auction hall, with Han Shi's knowledge, he couldn't help but show surprise, the size of this place is completely different from the outside of the auction hall, it is three hundred zhang square, and it is obvious that the space in it has been transformed.
This kind of technique, Han Shiman has only seen it a few times, and every time, it is in some important places.
What really surprised Han Shi was the luxury of this auction room, the whole venue was covered with extremely delicate animal skins, and the seats were very atmospheric, carved from a whole piece of black stone.
Today, in this hall, there are thousands of such chairs, neatly arranged, which shows the wealth of this auction house.
There were already many people sitting on the seats in the hall, whispering to each other, and from time to time there were eyes sweeping towards Han Shi and the three of them.
The Yue family is not a prominent family in this Changhai City, but it is not very weak, so it got a box, and the number written on the invitation is the twenty-third, obviously in the hearts of the forces behind this auction house, the strength of the Yue family can only be ranked twenty-third in Changhai City, in addition to the City Lord's Mansion, there are twenty-one that will surpass the Yue family.
Yue Peng kept a chuckle on his face, but his eyes were very heavy, he remembered that a hundred years ago, when he and his father came here, the invitation was written on the nineth, and he couldn't imagine that a hundred years later, the Yue family's ranking would fall to such a point.
He didn't have the slightest doubt that the Treasure Pavilion gave such a ranking, for thousands of years, this kind of ranking, basically, there was no deviation, and it all faithfully reflected the contrast between the strength and weakness of the various forces in Changhai City.
The forces that can't enter the top ten, in the past thousands of years, can obtain the Thundercloud Order, but there is only one exception, so it seems that the qualifications of this Thundercloud Island, the hope of the Yue family to obtain is extremely slim.
Yue Peng's gaze fell on Han Shi's body, revealing a hint of hope.
The box is more luxurious, and the view is extremely wide, with almost the entire auction hall in full view, and there are faint fluctuations on the outside of the box to prevent the spirit from detecting.
Outside the auction hall, the original crowd disappeared in an instant, turning into silence, the strength of the green-shirted monk made the black-clothed guard dare not speak, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyes, this person walked with the head of the Yue family, could it be the monk named Han Shi?
In everyone's hearts, there was a sense of excitement, and they began to communicate with each other and pass on news.
As the major forces entered the auction hall one after another, this excitement reached its peak, and after a while, the originally slightly empty auction hall was already full of people at this moment, and all the boxes were also full.
The people in the box don't know who it will be in the other boxes, except for one person, and that is Box No. 1.
Box No. 1 will always belong to the City Lord's Mansion.
Whenever Box 1 bids, there are very few people competing with it, which is the norm in this auction, of course, Box 1 does not bid every time, and each time there will be a suitable amount of items set aside for other forces to compete for.
This is actually inevitable, if the City Lord's Mansion monopolizes all the auction items, it is equivalent to being hostile to everyone, which is really unwise, and Zhang Mubai will never do this thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.
It's just that in such a situation, the No. 1 box of the City Lord's Mansion gradually has a transcendent status.
In the No. 1 box at this moment, Zhang Mubai was wearing a light blue cloth shirt, sitting in the center with his eyes closed, his face was indifferent, Xu Chen sat on the side, looking at the auction hall, his eyes were long, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There was a purple-haired strong man sitting on Zhang Mubai's right hand, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, exuding a strong momentum, but when this momentum radiated to Zhang Mubai's side, it was completely covered by an invisible force, like a fist smashed on cotton, without the slightest feeling of strength.
The purple-haired man's gaze was gloomy, and only when he swept over Zhang Mubai would he have a little fear.
"Brother Xu, I wonder if Han Shi will come here with the Yue family?" Zhang Mubai's body did not move, and there was no joy or anger in his tone.
Xu Chen sighed secretly in his heart, this Zhang Mubai is unknown to others, but he is very clear, if it were not for the Thundercloud Order, he would never help this person, Zhang Mubai seems to be open-minded, but in fact, he is narrow-minded, and he will revenge, and he has already killed this Han Shi.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't grasp Han Shi's true cultivation, I am afraid that he would have made a move a long time ago and killed Han Shi, where would he have waited until now.
In order to achieve his goal, this person is extremely tolerant and can be described as a hero.
This person did not kill this Han Shi, but he would not kill Han Shi until he was completely prepared, and let him test it, in order to obtain Han Shi's accurate strength in order to arrange a follow-up move.
As for Han Shi, Xu Chen always felt that he had not seen through his true strength, although the thunder light was strong, but there was no murderous aura in it, if Han Shi really hid the killing move, Zhang Mubai and his strength were almost the same, and when he fought against Han Shi, I am afraid that the chance of winning was not great.
"I don't know what Brother Zhang's plans are for the Yue family?" Xu Chen pondered a little and spoke slowly, but he sneered in his heart.
He came to this city lord's mansion for the qualification of a thundercloud island, and after three months, after he landed on the island, he would leave Changhai City, and he would have nothing to do with this person.
"City Lord, since the Yue family dares to accept Han Shi as a guest elder, it is obvious that it intends to be the enemy of our City Lord's Mansion, and my subordinates ask Ying to kill all the Yue family in order to establish the prestige of our City Lord's Mansion. The purple-haired man's face was hideous, and there seemed to be uncontrollable anger in his eyes.
"Zishan, this matter is not in a hurry, although my city lord's mansion is strong, but in the process, I have to leave some room for others, don't wipe out people at every turn, and after a while, when Thundercloud Island is opened, the master will definitely go out, if the Yue family is still obsessed, I should ask the master to decide, you don't have to ask about this matter." Zhang Mubai waved his hand slightly, and a chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The purple-haired strong man had a gloomy face and raised his hand to say yes.
Xu Chen sneered even more in his heart, "It's a nice thing to say, in fact, it's just to wait until your master is out of the customs, with the help of Yuanying Monk, when you have full confidence, then you can make a move, you can deceive others with your thoughts, but you can't hide it from me." ”
Zhang Mubai raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Chen, and said expressionlessly: "According to what Brother Xu said, then Han Shi's strength is on par with you, but I don't know how it compares with me?"
"Brother Zhang, I don't dare to judge this matter, if Brother Zhang personally fights with him one day, he knows it. Xu Chen's face was flat, but there was a trace of cunning in the depths of his eyes.
What he told Zhang Mubai was the martial arts fight between the two sides, and many details were omitted, as for the process of the fight, it was completely covered up by him, believing that only he and Han Shi knew about this matter, and would never tell others.
After all, it is a matter of Taoist disputes, and a literary fight is the essence of each other's Taoist thoughts.
Zhang Mubai snorted coldly, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in the depths of his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "Xu Chen, before the opening of Thundercloud Island, I can withdraw your qualification at any time, if you really deceive me and suffer from the master's punishment, I will never let you enter Thundercloud Island as you wish." ”
"Ding......
A crisp bell rang on the table of the auction hall, and the whole hall suddenly became extremely quiet, and a thin old man with gray hair, holding a small hammer that looked like a wish, touched the bronze bell slightly.
In everyone's ears, a bell rang at the same time, which lifted people's spirits.
This gray-haired old man is not known to everyone, only the major forces, or some people who have cultivated strongly, are qualified to know the identity of this person.
The auction of this treasure pavilion is divided into several kinds, the kind that occurs once every ten days, is the most ordinary one, only needs to pay ten lower grade spirit stones, you can participate in the auction, and then, there are once every three months and once a year, these two auctions, occasionally there will be extraordinary things, but the chance is not big.
