Chapter 73
Unlike the bustling atmosphere in the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, other places in Yunding City have long been silent. Apart from fighting against the people and patrolling city guards, there are almost no other people on the street.
A city guard held a lantern in his hand, angrily, muttering sleepily: "It's been a few days now, and I haven't even seen the shadow of a resentful corpse. I saw that resentful corpse would not dare to come."
Since the appearance of the resentful corpse, patrol has been increased in the city, especially near the city walls, which are arranged like iron barrels, and even a fly cannot fly in, let alone resentful corpse.
So he felt that patrolling in the city was no longer necessary.
The companions around him sighed when they heard this. Who wouldn’t want their wife and children to come out to blow the cold wind at night? But there was no way. Tomorrow is the Wanhua Festival. I don’t know how many noble people will come to the city. If something goes wrong, who can take care of it?
He was thinking so, suddenly, something seemed to be coming from the house on one side, as if something had stepped on the tiles, "Who is there!"
He immediately scolded, and his companions around him were also shocked and drowsy. He hurriedly carried the lantern and shone over and said, "What's wrong? Where is there anyone?"
A gust of wind blew, and the candlelight in the lantern swayed, and the two stared at the roof for a long time, but found nothing. The person holding the lantern couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to his partner: "Did you hear it wrong? There is no movement."
"I..." The other party touched the chilling neck and became suspicious. Could it be that he had heard it wrong?
Suddenly, he paused his hand on his neck, his eyes fixed the shadow on the ground in front of them. The bright moon hung high, and even if he didn't use a lantern, it was enough for the moonlight to illuminate the way he came. He clearly cast their shadows on the ground ahead.
The shadows that should have been two people were now overlapped by a black shadow that was taller than their body, and the coolness on his back neck became clearer, and bursts of breathing like a human being.
The person holding the lantern saw that he suddenly changed his face and said suspiciously, "What's wrong?" As he said that, he lifted the lantern and shone it towards his face. In the next moment, a pair of red eyes stumbled from above, followed by a head full of a hideous smile.
"Ah!" The city guard screamed in horror. While swaying out the lantern in his hand, he fell to the ground with his butt. Then he saw a bloody mouth biting half of his companion's face.
Brain and blood spurted his face!
"Ah!!! Resentful corpse!!"
The scream of horror sounded, and the man almost turned around and ran. After turning his head and running for a few steps, he saw a terrible monster with black air standing in front of him.
He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, completely forgot how he called his companions patrolling the other street, and saw the resentful corpse baring his teeth and exposing his fangs and pounced towards him.
"Ah!!!" The scared man covered his head, feeling that he was dead this time and would definitely be bitten off, as miserable as his companion just now.
However, the terrible pain I imagined did not come, but a few bangs and explosions.
He put down his arm in horror and looked at the resentful corpse. He saw that the resentful corpse that had originally pounced on him had fallen a few meters away, and there were still many sparks flashing around him.
"Tsk, it's such a difficult thing."
A sloppy man, who was shaped like a beggar, stood beside him, and said with a tick.
The man looked at him and then at the resentful corpse. Before he could speak, a roar sounded behind him, and then a powerful force directly overturned him.
"Ah!!" He was rolling all the way, and he was directly lifted by the wave of air caused by the strong roar. When he looked up, he saw the beggar still standing in place and motionless. After a closer look, he seemed to have layers of dark red ripples in front of him, blocking the roar of the resentful corpse.
Yes, it’s a cultivator!
The city guard was overjoyed and felt that he saw hope.
"I haven't run away yet, go and call someone. Are you waiting to be eaten again?" The beggar took his gourd and took another sip, but his voice was cold and powerful.
The guards trembled all over and jumped up and ran away.
"Tsk, come out!" Jiu Buzuo tskated in contempt, and looked at the two resentful corpses on the left and right, "I didn't expect that the city wall was guarding the city like this, and you beasts could come in. It seems that I'm right. Do you have another way, right?"
But the answer was only two roaring roars and attacks filled with ghost energy.
Let’s not mention the matter outside for now, the auction in Jubao Chamber of Commerce has reached its climax.
Seeing that many babies were sold at high prices, Bai Qianyu was very curious. What kind of high price can her three beauty pills be sold at low prices?
At the same time, she glanced at Rong Ye sitting next to her.
After he went out, Bai Qianyu thought he would not come back, but he did not expect that he would not only come back, but also not leave.
Although she was depressed, her arm could not twist her thighs, so she could only let her go.
"To the customer, at the request of the boss, a treasure will be temporarily auctioned at this auction." Mo Niang's voice sounded below, and suddenly pulled Bai Qianyu's thoughts back and looked back at the auction stage below.
He said in his heart, "Here is here!"
I saw a maid bringing a treasure covered with red cloth to Mo Niang, and Mo Niang continued to smile and say, "Originally, our boss didn't plan to take action, but seeing that the adults supported our treasure trove club so much, I was willing to give up my love, hoping that there would be someone with destiny to pick this treasure in the end."
"What kind of treasure is this? It can make your boss reluctantly give up his love?" As soon as Mo Niang finished speaking, someone below said immediately.
Mo Niang said, "To be honest, this treasure is what our boss is going to leave for the future wife. If you didn't support me so much tonight, I'm afraid even the little girl wouldn't be able to see her true face."
"Oh, it seems that it is something women use?" A smart person immediately heard the clue from Mo Niang's words.
"What women use? How much money can it be worth?" Some people also looked down upon it.
"This is not necessarily the case. Sometimes the things women use are much more expensive than men use!"
"That's right, look at the valuable items in the palace, aren't there many of the jewelry used by women?"
People sitting in the lobby started to discuss.
And the people in the private room were also whispering in a low voice.
Mo Niang looked at them with a smile and then said, "Then let the little girl open it and show it to a distinguished guest."
As she said that, she gave the maid beside her a look, and the maid picked up the red cloth covering the treasure, and then exposed a set of pure gold-inlaid ruby-faced phoenix head.
If you want to talk about this golden-headed face, it is not too rare. It’s just that the two rubies on the phoenix’s eyes are really eye-catching.
