Chapter 545 Auction
After leaving Zuixianlou, Xu Ming and Lu Xiaoliu walked on the street.
In Xifeng City, carriages were traveling on the wide road, and the sound of ruts could be heard on the bluestone road.
A gilded-topped sedan chair pulled by eight black horses with snowy hooves broke through the mist. A half peacock feather leaked out from between the gaps in the curtains, causing the peddler carrying the load to move out of the way in panic, and the freshly picked lotus pods in the bamboo baskets fell to the ground.
Many people in West Wind City looked at the arrogant rich man and cursed in low voices.
Xu Ming raised his head and took a look.
A woman just happened to look out from the carriage.
The woman was wearing a veil, with a little cinnabar on her forehead and an ancient green agate pendant hanging from her ear.
Just from looking at the upper half of the woman's face.
This woman should be from the Western Regions.
The woman just glanced at Xu Ming indifferently, then looked away and lowered the car curtain.
"You guessed right. The woman just now should be from the Peacock Sect in the Western Regions."
Lu Xiaoliu took a bite of the bun and spoke.
“The Peacock Sect is a Jade-grade sect with considerable influence in the Western Regions. Although the Peacock Sect is a demon sect, what it does is much better than other demon sects.
So under normal circumstances, the Buddhist sects in the Western Regions would not cause trouble for the Peacock Sect.
As for the other demon sects, they all respect the Peacock Sect because of its wide network of contacts and the fact that its leader is also quite powerful. "
As he was talking, Lu Xiaoliu took a bite of the bun in his hand, then looked at the meat bun in his hand and cursed: "This store owner is really too much. A bun that costs one low-grade spirit stone has so little meat. It was eaten in one bite. Is this a steamed bun?"
Xu Ming looked at Mr. Lu beside him and ignored Lu Xiaoliu's complaints: "Mr. Lu really knows a lot about the Western Regions."
Lu Xiaoliu smiled and said, "That's for sure. Over the past few years, besides farming and raising chickens and completing the homework assigned by the teacher at Bailu Academy, I have also been gathering information about the Western Regions from time to time.
However, because the White Deer Academy is too far away from the Western Regions, and most people in the Central Plains are not very interested in the Western Regions, so even if I want to learn more, there is no channel. "
"That's why Mr. Lu asked Miss Yanyan from Zuixianlou to help collect intelligence about the Western Regions." Xu Ming said what Lu Xiaoliu wanted to say, "Mr. Lu knows so much about the Western Regions. Could it be that what Mr. Lu wants to do in the Western Regions is difficult?"
Xu Ming was not clear about Lu Xiaoliu's realm.
But in Xu Ming's opinion, Lu Xiaoliu's realm would definitely not be low, he was at least a cultivator at the Jade Pu realm.
And that’s the least!
A cultivator in the upper fifth realm has to collect so much information when going to the Western Regions.
From this we can see that what Mr. Lu is going to do in the Western Regions is definitely not simple.
Even the courtesan in Zuixianlou was developed into a spy by Mr. Lu.
Could it be that Mr. Lu is going to turn the Western Regions upside down?
"Use the words I hate the most to describe it." Lu Xiaoliu looked at Xu Ming with a smile, "What I want to do is difficult, but not difficult either."
“.”
Xu Ming's brow twitched.
Regardless of whether this is difficult or not, this sentence is indeed quite annoying.
What's the difference between saying it and not saying it? Lu Xiaoliu gathered his sleeves and said, "As for my affairs, don't think about it, young man. This is just a mistake I made when I was young.
After I made the mistake, I never dared to face it.
But when I looked at Mo Chi, I realized how desperate he was to realize his dream. Moreover, when he saw me for the last time, he even laughed at me and said that I was not like a man at all.
I knew that guy was trying to provoke me on purpose.
But, what he said does make sense.
Such a long time has passed. If I still avoid it and still don't face it, I would be unmanly.
Mo Chi will laugh at me in heaven."
"Is it because of feelings?" Xu Ming guessed.
"." Lu Xiaoliu was speechless.
Xu Ming smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed right, but Mr. Lu, Miss Yanyan from Zuixianlou seems to like you very much.
And just now at Zuixianlou, I heard that this Miss Yanyan has not had any boyfriend so far.
In my opinion, it is probably waiting for you, sir."
"Don't say that." Lu Xiaoliu said hurriedly, "Miss Yanyan is the type who sells her art but not her body. She is now training in the secular world and will return to the sect in a few years. We can't ruin her innocence."
"But why do I feel that Miss Yanyan didn't return to the sect because of Mr. Lu?"
Xu Ming glanced at Lu Xiaoliu with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Then you must be mistaken." Lu Xiaoliu said seriously, "Miss Yanyan and I are innocent."
"Comparatively speaking." Lu Xiaoliu looked at Xu Ming with a smile, "My nephew, when we go to the Western Regions, if Shi Xin from the Buddhist sect and Mo Zhu'er from the Black Lotus Sect fight, who will you help?"
Xu Ming: “.”
"Hahaha"
Lu Xiaoliu patted Xu Ming on the shoulder and strode forward.
"Junior Brother Xu, please think about it carefully. This kind of thing is not easy to handle. No matter which side you side with, the other side will definitely be angry. If neither side helps, both of them will be angry.
But to be honest, I do envy you, Brother Xu.
Those two are both beauties on the beauty list, and one of them is even at the top of the list. I am so envious of them."
Looking at Mr. Lu's gradually receding back, Xu Ming's brows twitched.
I was just teasing Mr. Lu, but I didn't expect that Mr. Lu was so narrow-minded and immediately joked back.
As for what Mr. Lu said, Xu Ming naturally didn't care.
Although he had a relationship with Shi Xin and Mo Zhuer, he and Shi Xin were just ordinary friends who had traveled together for a period of time.
I and Shi Xin can be said to be truly innocent.
Even in front of the Buddha, I dare to say this.
As for Mo Zhuer.
Although many unspeakable things happened between him and Mo Zhuer, the two had some negative distance contact and communication.
But it all started out as an accident.
The relationship between her and me was just a simple transaction.
The only thing that worried Xu Ming was that if Mo Zhuer wanted to kill Shi Xin herself, that would be difficult to deal with.
This possibility is not impossible.
Because now the battle between the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Black Lotus Sect has entered a white-hot stage.
The leader of the Black Lotus Sect issued another holy order.
Naturally, everyone's target was Shi Xin's head.
For Mo Zhuer, the position of the leader of the Black Lotus Sect must be very important. What she wants most now is Shi Xin's life.
The only thing Xu Ming can pray for now is that his guess will not come true.
But if Mo Zhuer really made such a request, I would definitely not do it.
How could I sacrifice my friend's life for my own selfish reasons?
Besides, today's Shi Xin is a Buddhist disciple supported by the entire Western Buddhist community.
If he really helped Mo Zhuer kill Shi Xin, Xu Ming didn't think he could leave the Western Regions alive.
Even if Mr. Lu protects me, it would probably be of no use.
If there is really no other way at that time, perhaps I may really have to choose to give up.
Xu Ming really did not give up on either path.
After all, it was something I cultivated with great difficulty.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Moreover, at that time, he also vowed to Yan Han that he would not give up the path of martial arts.
But there really isn't much time left now.
In fact, Xu Ming fully felt that he could enter the Golden Core Realm.
But Xu Ming has been deliberately suppressing his realm.
When he was in Wudu, after Xu Ming’s martial arts realm was broken, he once again felt the true energy and spiritual power in his body colliding with each other.
Xu Ming felt that if he entered the Golden Core Realm again at this time, the meridians in his body would most likely be destroyed, and he would become a complete cripple.
In the past, Xu Ming felt that he still had plenty of time to find a solution, but now it is different.
The situation in the world will change drastically in the future. Now is the time to race against time. I can no longer deliberately delay the progress of my cultivation.
Xu Ming continued to follow.
At this time, West Wind City was becoming more and more lively.
The carved wooden window on the second floor of a street teahouse suddenly opened, and a maid with a double-ring bun leaned out. The water in the copper basin splashed out a silver arc, just in time to splash on the oilcloth tent of the wonton stall downstairs. The shopkeeper was so shocked that he picked up a long-handled copper spoon and scolded: "Little hoof, be careful!"
When they reached the port, the flying boat docked at the seaside and dropped anchor, with magic arrays helping to secure it.
Camels came down from the flying boat one by one.
These camels come from the Western Regions.
This flying boat actually came from a certain demonic sect in the Western Regions.
Thirty-six dromedaries were carrying sandalwood boxes inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl. The gold brocade hanging between the camel humps fluttered like clouds in the wind.
Beside the camel, there followed one foreign girl after another.
They were all wearing goose yellow veils, and silver bells on their ankles jingled as they danced. They were dressed very coolly, and their honey-colored skin glowed like satin under the red gold armlets. Twelve layers of pomegranate red tulle skirts spun lightly with their waists, revealing ankles adorned with silver bells. Every crisp sound seemed to knock on the men's dry Adam's apples.
A half-golden veil covered the tip of her nose, making her turquoise eyes even more dazzling. Her eyelashes were stained with malachite powder, which trailed a lapis lazuli tail at the end of her eyes as her eyes moved.
The waist of each Hu Ji is as slender and resilient as a willow, with a thin flower patch on her belly button, which gives her a unique charm.
The eyes of those who had never seen a female monk from the Western Regions were shining.
Compared to the elegance and gentleness of the women from the Central Plains, this woman from the Western Regions looks as hot as a flame, giving people a unique feeling. At least when they are in bed, there is definitely an impact that the women from the Central Plains cannot give.
At this time, another Hu girl noticed Xu Ming.
Perhaps because Xu Ming was really handsome, the woman gave him a flirtatious look.
"I heard that Xingxue Sect brought their treasure to participate in the auction in Xifeng City this time."
A man on the roadside said as he watched the Hu girls getting off the boat one by one.
"I've heard about it, too. It's really sad to talk about this. The Xingxue Sect, which was so big before, has now fallen to the point where it has to sell the sect's most precious treasures to survive."
"There's nothing we can do. Who made the leader of the Xingxue Sect fall? And what a coincidence! It just so happened that at this time, the Xingxue Sect offended the Black Lotus Sect. Now the Black Lotus Sect is at its peak!"
"I heard that it wasn't that the Xingxue Sect offended the Black Lotus Sect, but that the Black Lotus Sect had a problem with the Xingxue Sect."
"I feel the same way. After all, when a sect is weak, everything it does is wrong."
Xu Ming listened to their conversation and naturally knew what they were talking about.
Miss Yanyan actually also kept records of this incident of Xingxue Sect.
The leader of the Xingxue Sect is a cultivator at the immortal level.
However, the leader of the Xingxue Sect died directly in the Cang Gu Bai Di in the Western Regions due to some unknown reasons. The Xingxue Sect now has only one elder in the Yu Pu Realm to preside over the situation.
The Xingxue Sect and Heila have always had a feud.
Now they are taking advantage of your illness to kill you, right?
"Come on, come on, Junior Brother Xu, there are dancers over there, let's go and take a look."
Lu Xiaoliu turned back at some point, walked to Xu Ming's side, and then pulled Xu Ming out.
Came to a stall.
There was a dancer from the Western Regions who was actually performing.
She picked up the three-meter-long red silk with her toes and firmly wrapped it around the golden hairpin thrown down from the private room on the second floor. The bells on her body jingled.
But Xu Ming really didn't think there was anything good to see.
"Make way, make way"
It won't be long before the disciples from West Wind City start clearing the streets.
The women who had just gotten off the boat walked away step by step, and finally walked into a huge restaurant called "Si Hai Ge".
"Let's also attend the auction in West Wind City tomorrow."
Lu Xiaoliu said to Xu Ming.
Xu Ming shook his head: "Sir, although I do have some assets, I don't think the money in my pocket is enough for an auction of this level."
"You're really not going?" Lu Xiaoliu looked at Xu Ming with a smile.
"What's the meaning?"
Looking at Mr. Lu like this, Xu Ming felt that Mr. Lu seemed to know something about the auction.
"Well, there's no point in telling you this in advance." Lu Xiaoliu kept it a secret, "But I can guarantee that the items to be auctioned at the Xingxue Sect tomorrow will definitely interest you!"
Xu Ming: “.”
Lu Xiaoliu smiled and said, "During this period of time, I, your uncle, have been using your money. It is indeed embarrassing. Moreover, as your uncle, I did not even give you a decent gift.
You just need to take care of the tickets.
Tomorrow, I, your uncle, will give you a great gift!"
