Chapter 48: Calm Down

Hua Taisui glared at Li Tianqi: "You are a big man, why are you so daring......"

"It's not that I'm timid, I always feel that this place is a little strange......" Li Tianqi crooked his mouth.

Hua Taisui opened his mouth, just wanted to speak, he heard a "click......click" sound, looked up, and found that the stone door on the opposite side was slowly opened, and a beam of light came out of the stone gate, instantly illuminating the entire stone platform very brightly.

"Two distinguished guests, please come in. A woman's voice came from inside the stone gate.

Li Tianqi took a look at it, and found that there was a passage inside the stone gate, the passage was very wide, and it was estimated that it would be no problem for five or six people to walk side by side, at this time in the middle of the passage, that is, behind the stone gate, there was a stone table, and behind the stone table sat a woman in a pink dress, building a layer of cultivation, this woman looked very charming, and her age should be about thirty years old, but this is not true, people who cultivate truth are good at maintaining their appearance, don't look at the appearance of this charming woman at the age of thirty, maybe the actual age is already one hundred years old.

"Who are you?" Hua Tai Sui asked the woman.

"I'm in charge of receiving distinguished guests. The woman didn't stand up from beginning to end, but just looked at Hua Taisui and Li Tianqi with a smile: "Welcome two distinguished guests to participate in the auction we held, I wish the two distinguished guests can buy their favorite things at auction...... Speaking of this, the woman picked up two wooden signs from the stone table:" This is your ID card, please be sure to put it away, and when the auction is over, you only need to return the ID card to me, you can leave, remember, you must not lose your ID card, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”

"You have so many rules here. Hua Tai Sui muttered in a low voice, walked over and took the identity card from the woman's hand, Hua Tai Sui took a look at it and found that it was two very ordinary pieces of wood, and there were two numbers engraved on the front of the wood chips, one was nineteen and the other was twenty, Hua Tai Sui threw the wood chip engraved with the number twenty to Li Tianqi, and he left the wood chip engraved with the number nineteen.

Li Tianqi glanced at it and put away the wood chips.

"Two distinguished guests, do you want to just go in like this, or do you need to cover up your appearance?" asked the woman with a smile.

"What do you mean? I don't understand!" Hua Tai Sui frowned.

Li Tianqi also looked puzzled.

"Oh, yes. The woman explained: "When the guests are bidding for treasures, there will inevitably be collisions and conflicts, some people are narrow-minded, love to hold grudges, and after the auction is over, it is very likely that they will retaliate, in order to ensure the safety of the guests, so we have refined some clothes that hide their faces and breath, as long as the guests wear this kind of clothes, others will not recognize your appearance, even if they want to seek revenge against you afterwards, they don't know who you are at all." ”

"You're pretty thoughtful. Hua Tai Sui exclaimed.

"It's the guest's freedom to hide your face, and if you two don't want to hide it, we won't ......force it," the woman laughed.

"Why don't you hide it, we're afraid of retaliation!" Hua Tai Sui waved his hand.

Li Tianqi nodded: "It's good to be able to hide your appearance, so that when bidding, you have a lot less scruples." ”

"In that case, then the two of you should pay a hundred mid-rank spirit stones. The woman stretched out her hand, and there were two more sets of black and thin clothes on the stone table: "After paying the spirit stone, you can take these two sets of clothes." ”

"What, do you still need Fu Lingshi?" Hua Tai Sui's eyebrows twisted.

The woman nodded: "Yes, we also spent a lot of money when refining these clothes, so we have to charge some costs......"

"Two pieces of clothing are sold for a hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and you're too dark, aren't you?" Hua Tai Sui snorted.

The woman smiled: "You misunderstood, it's not selling, it's renting." ”

"Rent?" Hua Tai Sui raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"These two pieces of clothing are not sold to you, but rented to you, and the rent is fifty middle-grade spirit stones per person. The woman explained.

"Why don't you go and rob it!" Hua Tai Sui was angry: "A hundred middle-grade spirit stones can rent such two pieces of torn clothes, you are too black-hearted!"

Li Tianqi's face was also a little unsightly.

"Don't be angry, two distinguished guests, I have just said that it is your freedom to rent clothes or not, if you think the price is expensive, then you don't need to rent clothes, just go in and participate in the auction. The woman smiled.

"Without this dress, how can we hide our appearance?" Hua Taisui asked.

The woman spread her hands helplessly: "If you are reluctant to give up the spirit stone, you can only participate in the auction with your true appearance...... As for whether or not you will encounter retaliation from others afterwards, it depends on your luck......"

"You ......" Hua Tai Sui's face turned blue, and at this moment, he had an urge to rush up and slap the woman.

Li Tianqi pulled Lahua Tai Sui's arm: "Forget it, let's admit it." As he spoke, Li Tianqi took out a hundred middle-grade spirit stones and put them on the table.

"Do you really want to rent this clothes?" Hua Tai Sui glared at Li Tianqi.

"Do we really want to participate in the auction with our true faces?" Li Tianqi pouted: "Okay, let's spend money to prevent disasters, don't waste time, put it on quickly." Li Tianqi threw the smaller clothes to Hua Tai Sui, and he put the larger clothes on his body.

Hua Tai Sui pouted in frustration and finally put on his clothes.

Although the rent is a little expensive, the effect is not bad, since putting on the clothes, Li Tianqi feels that his figure seems to have shrunk, and his appearance is also covered by a black fog, Li Tianqi turned his head to look at Hua Tai Sui, and found that Hua Tai Sui was similar to his own situation.

"Alright, now you two can go in and participate in the auction. The woman reached out and pressed lightly on the stone table, and a crack suddenly opened in the stone wall to the left of the passage, and then a petite girl stepped out of it.

The girl bent over Hua Tai Sui and Li Tianqi: "Two distinguished guests, please come with me." With that, the girl turned and walked deeper into the passage.

Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui glanced at each other, and then followed the girl's footsteps and left.

After walking about dozens of zhang away, the girl stopped, then reached out and pushed open a stone door in front of her, and then made an inviting gesture to Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui: "The auction will be held inside, after the two customers enter, please take a seat according to the number on the ID card." ”

After Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui walked into the stone door, they found that there was a spacious stone hall inside, and several rows of chairs were placed in the middle of the stone hall, and there was a distance of about one zhang between each chair, at this time, two-thirds of the chairs had owners, and these people basically wore clothes that concealed their faces, and there was a circular stone platform in front of the hall, and there was only a stone table on the stone platform.

Li Tianqi glanced at it and found that almost all of the people present were cultivators in the foundation building period, Li Tianqi nodded secretly, it seems that this auction should be held specifically for monks in the foundation building period.

Hua Taisui stretched out his hand and touched Li Tianqi, and then pointed to the rows of chairs in the middle of the stone hall: "Look, there are numbers engraved on the back of the chairs." ”

Li Tianqi looked in the direction that Hua Tai Sui was pointing, and sure enough, he saw that many chairs were engraved with numbers on the backs: "My number is twenty, and your number is nineteen...... Let's go, our seats are there. Li Tianqi found his seat according to the number on the ID card.

Hua Taisui's seat and Li Tianqi's seat were next to each other, and there was a small road in between.

In the following time, more than a dozen people walked in one after another, and after these people entered the hall, they all found their own seats according to the numbers of their respective identity tags.

At this moment, the seats in the hall are almost full.

"Why hasn't the auction started yet!" Hua Taisui was a little annoyed: "I won't participate in the auction in the future, I'm really tired of being crooked." ”

"Don't be impatient, I guess people haven't come yet. Li Tianqi persuaded softly.

"How long will we have to wait!" Hua Tai Sui's tone was very dissatisfied.

"It should be soon. Li Tianqi glanced around and found that the chairs around him were almost full.

Just when Hua Tai Sui was scratching, an old man with a red face led a group of girls into the hall, as soon as he entered the hall, the old man rushed to the people present: "Oh, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting!" As he spoke, the old man walked directly onto the stone platform in front of the hall, and then said loudly: "Let me introduce myself: my name is Haifu, and I will preside over this auction today...... First of all, when auctioning items, everyone must not fight, otherwise they will all be kicked out, secondly, when everyone bids, it is best to come one by one, do not fight, and also, the items I auction appear in order according to the rarity, for example, the second item is rarer and more precious than the first item, the third item is better than the second item, and so on...... Therefore, at the beginning, you don't need to be too anxious to compete, and leave more energy to compete for the items in the back......"

When Haifu explained the rules of the auction, no one at the scene spoke, they all sat in their respective positions and listened quietly, even Hua Tai Sui became honest, not that Hua Tai Sui and others were highly conscious, but they were shocked by Hai Fu's cultivation.

That's right, Haifu is a real Jindan late stage monk, among the people present, there is no one whose cultivation is higher than Haifu, and it is precisely because Haifu's cultivation is advanced that these guests who came to bid were deterred.

Hai Fu said for a long time before stopping, and then asked everyone in the audience: "What I just said, did everyone hear clearly?"

"I hear you. I don't know who answered.

Haifu nodded: "Okay, the auction will officially start next!" After speaking, Haifu took out a small and exquisite storage bag from his sleeve, and shook it slightly, and ten finely made wooden boxes flew out of the storage bag, and these wooden boxes were arranged on the stone table one by one in order.
