According to common sense, since it is an auction, the more monks participating, the better. Only with strong popularity can it be easier to obtain a satisfactory high price. Why is this auction held secretly?
The reason lies in the ghosts in the tomb of the real person. Thousands of years ago, after several wars, with the good and evil teaming up and the human monks working together, those evil spirits and ghosts were driven back. However, their strength cannot be underestimated.
, otherwise human monks would not build a big city here to deter surveillance.
In the following years, the two sides had mutual concerns and maintained a delicate balance. Driven by interests, monks from outside continued to venture to Tianyang City to capture ghosts and trade them as immortal pets.
Generally speaking, these ghosts captured alive have very low cultivation and cannot harm the vitality of Diyin City. However, those high-level ghosts, such as ghost generals and ghost commanders who are equivalent to true master monks, cannot tolerate them.
, it is definitely an offense to our dignity, and I have negotiated with human monks many times.
Those old monsters in the True Master stage naturally don’t want to restart the war with Diyin City, but the scope of catching ghosts and ghosts is too wide. Sects, big and small, and family cultivators are all involved, and most of them are involved.
Some of them are in the name of individuals. Even if they want to ban it, it is impossible to do so.
Blocking people's way of making money will definitely make people jealous. Even a true master monk doesn't want to be the target of public criticism!
The intelligence of the ghost generals and ghost commanders is no lower than that of humans, and they also know that the other party is telling the truth. Well, then, you come to catch the ghosts and ghosts. They also kill the humans wandering around Diyin City without mercy.
The two sides have formed a tacit understanding on this point, and sporadic killings, no matter who wins or loses, will not become the trigger of war.
However, the public auction of ghostly ghosts has been cancelled. If you want to sell, you can, but you can only do it privately and secretly. Any public behavior will lead to crazy revenge from the ghosts in the Underworld City.
Several old monsters in the True Master stage have already signed an agreement with the ghost commander in Chengyin City.
However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. How can you make more money from private transactions than at auctions? Therefore, some forces in Tianyang City still quietly provide conveniences and hold hidden trade fairs, which cannot make the evil ghosts in Diyin City
They knew it, but they still wanted to hide it from the monks who enforced the law in Tianyang City.
Usually, if you want to participate in such a secret trade fair, you must receive an invitation, and outsiders will not get any information at all.
When Yuwen Zhouyuan knew the news, he would never miss this opportunity. Of course, his goal was not to buy any ghost servants, but to see if there was any news about the soul-calling flower.
At the zenith of the moon, Yuwen Zhouyuan left the gate of Tianyang City, and then flew to the north, which was just opposite to Diyin City. About half an hour later, Yuwen Zhouyuan landed in a wasteland.
Yu Wenzhouyuan looked around and found that there were some sparsely grown shrubs and plants all around. The aura was thin, and occasionally the wind blew by. After the sand on the surface was scraped away, animal bones could still be seen.
No matter how desolate it looks, it's no wonder that the mysterious Chamber of Commerce chose this place to hold its auction. I believe that even those ghostly ghosts would be too lazy to come to such a place.
Yuwen Zhouyuan released his spiritual consciousness and enveloped everything within a radius of several miles. However, he did not find any restrictions, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
It seems that either the other party's concealment method is too clever, or there is no restriction placed here at all.
A wisp of gloom appeared between Yuwen Zhouyuan's brows. Could it be that he was looking in the wrong place? What should he do now?
However, Yuwen Zhouyuan had no intention of leaving. Instead, he restrained his force and pressure, took out the cloud tent, and hid in the sky.
Not long after, the figure of a monk came into Yuwen Zhouyuan's sight. He was a Confucian scholar in blue shirt, about thirty years old, and his cultivation level was around the middle stage of Zhenyuan.
After the Confucian scholar fell down, he immediately looked around furtively, and the nervous expression on his face was clearly visible.
Although this person was quite careful, he was naturally unable to find Yuwen Zhouyuan hiding in the cloud tent.
After the Confucian scholar made sure that no one was around, he took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his arms, muttered something in his mouth, and then took out the talisman, which turned into a yellow light and flew deep into the ground.
After a while, a "rumbling" sound was heard from deep underground, and a gap suddenly opened in the ordinary salt-alkali sand, and a dark cave came into view.
Then a skinny old man walked out, chatted with the Confucian scholar for a few words, and prepared to welcome him in.
"Fellow Taoist, is this the entrance to the auction? Can I also participate?" A voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.
When the two heard these unfamiliar words, they were naturally shocked. They turned their heads in horror and already touched the storage bag with their hands.
I saw a flash of light in the air, and a handsome young man appeared out of thin air, appearing more than ten feet away and walking over with a smile on his face.
"Real-life monk!" The Confucian scholar whispered, with a look of awe on his face. The old man was also horrified, but he raised his hand to send a signal to summon his companions.
Unfortunately, he was faster than Kuaiyu Wenzhouyuan. Before he could use his teleportation talisman, he was intercepted by a big hand that appeared out of thin air. At the same time, the old man felt numb all over his body and his spiritual power could not move freely.
He knew that his magic power had obviously been imprisoned by the other party's great magical power. If a monk could not mobilize his magic power, then he was just an ordinary person.
The old man's forehead was already covered with sweat drops, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
"Fellow Taoist, don't panic. I just want to participate in the auction. I have no other intentions." In order to show his sincerity, Yuwen Zhouyuan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder. The old man exhaled a breath, and his whole body was full of blood.
Spiritual power can be controlled at will.
But the old man was very knowledgeable at this time and did not act rashly. Instead, he looked at Yuwen Zhouyuan with eyes full of awe. As people become more mature with age, the old man knew clearly that since the other party dared to lift the imprisonment on his body, then he would naturally have full power.
He had the confidence to destroy himself in an instant, otherwise he would never have done that.
The old man bowed respectfully to Yuwen Zhouyuan and said, "Senior, please forgive me. I just thought you were the law enforcement envoy of Tianyang City, so..."
Yuwen Zhouyuan smiled: "Okay, don't blame those who don't know. I'm not a petty person, so you don't need to explain anymore. I also accidentally learned that there will be an auction here, so I took the liberty to come..."
"Welcome, welcome, it's my honor to be here, senior." After hearing Yu Wen Zhouyuan's words, the old man's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, but what he did was not entirely unreasonable.
Fear of Yuwen Zhouyuan.
This old man's name is Hong Zhengen, and he is a monk of the "Ruyi Palace". Speaking of Ruyi Palace, it has a long history. It has been spread for at least ten thousand years since the palace was built. However, it is not a sect, but a business alliance. The business
All over the Muyang Realm.
Although I don’t know the specific strength of Ruyi Palace, regardless of the righteous path or the devil, there are not many sects who dare to provoke Ruyi Palace, a business alliance. Money can make ghosts go around, and spiritual stones can crush people to death.
Ruyi Palace is not interested in power, but it is very persistent in earning more spiritual stones. Although this auction in Tianyang City cannot be said to be a huge profit, it can still make a lot of money. They have held it many times before
of.
As a rule, only some reliable monks who know the basics of the trade fair are invited to participate, but unexpected situations like Yuwen Zhouyuan's have happened many times.
No matter how well the confidentiality work is done, it is not surprising that one or two of the participating monks will not leak the time and place of the trade fair intentionally or unintentionally.
When encountering this kind of situation, Ruyi Palace naturally has a safe way to deal with it.
If the monks who come here because of their magic power are not high, then kill people and silence them. This auction is not a vegetable market. You can come if you want.
Of course, if the other party has advanced cultivation and is more difficult to deal with, they will adopt a flexible attitude and simply let that person participate in the trade fair.
Otherwise, we cannot kill the insiders in one fell swoop and let them go back and publicize the matter. If everyone knows about it, it will be extremely troublesome even for a force like Ruyi Palace. Obviously Yuwen Zhouyuan belongs to the latter.
After Hong Zhengen determined that Yuwen Zhouyuan's cultivation was unfathomable, he wisely welcomed him.
Guided by Hong Zhengen, Yuwen Zhouyuan and the blue-shirted Confucian scholar walked along the stone steps into the depths.
A cave came into view. Yuwen Zhouyuan found that the cave was extremely wide, with a height of seven or eight feet. He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and was slightly surprised. He secretly thought that this Ruyi Palace was really a big deal!
"Senior, this is it." Hong Zhengen said respectfully.
Yuwen Zhouyuan looked around and saw hundreds of monks gathered in the center of the cave. It seemed that today's trade fair was indeed quite large.
"Senior, please help yourself. I have to go to fetch other fellow Taoists. Please forgive me for taking my leave now." Hong Zhengen maintained a respectful posture when talking to Yuwen Zhouyuan.
Yuwen Zhouyuan had no intention of staying in trouble. He waved his hand, and Hong Zhengen quickly disappeared without a trace as if he had been granted amnesty.
Yuwen Zhouyuan walked towards the direction of the crowd, and he found a high platform there. The high platform was built using the magic of turning mud into stone. Many seats were also made using this magic under the mud platform. Although
It seems a little crude, but no one will care.
The arrival of Yuwen Zhouyuan also made many people raise eyebrows. After all, most of these hundreds of people are still cultivators in the Zhenyuan stage, and there are only a few masters in the real stage.
Therefore, after discovering Yuwen Zhouyuan, a beautiful maid immediately came to greet him.
Amid the intertwined looks of awe and jealousy, Yuwen Zhouyuan was led to the front of the high platform, where not only the view was the best, but there were only seven or eight seats, which were not made of shoddy goods made with magic, but made of sandalwood.
It is carved and can be said to be extremely exquisite.
There was even spiritual tea and a small plate of fruits on the small coffee table in front of him. This kind of treatment was obviously completely different from that of the Zhenyuan Stage monks later.
Yuwen Zhouyuan sat down on the only chair that was still empty. The other seven chairs were all occupied, with six men and one woman sitting there.
When those real-life masters saw Yuwen Zhouyuan, they naturally didn't know each other, and their attitudes were even more different.
Some are smiling and nodding, seemingly friendly, some are upturned, as if they are thousands of miles away; some are full of hostility, not even trying to hide it; and some don't care at all...
