The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

The Qimu City Auction House is the largest auction house in the Floating Life World. There are many ninth-level cultivators who have escaped from the world sitting in it, mixed with dragons and snakes.

Chi Mu also came to this place in "The First Life of the Great Dao" and bought a pitch-black plant seed. The author described it very mysteriously at the time, but he never said what it was used for in the end.

Moreover, Qi Zhao clearly remembered that the auction house first appeared in the book six years later.

Qi Zhao had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked Xie Shen, "Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

"There is something wrong." Xie Shen said, "It is rumored that there have been a lot of mid-level and high-level spiritual plants in the auction house recently, and...the spiritual plant master vine wooden cards."

The spiritual plants in the world of floating life are strictly controlled and black market transactions are not allowed. Lingzhi masters regard their rank wooden plaques as life, and they will be buried with them when they die. Now they suddenly appear in the auction house. The only possibility is that these spiritual plants The teacher was killed or controlled, and the rattan and wood cards were robbed.

Thinking deeper, owning rank cards is equivalent to possessing the identity of a spiritual planter, and with the addition of spiritual plants, it is not impossible for someone with a heart to use them to pretend to be a spiritual planter to make a fuss.

"Both Lu Jianshui and I felt that something must have happened in the auction house, because it was related to Lingzhi and Caomu, so we wanted to take you with us."

Qi Zhao frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "Everyone in the Floating Life Realm should know you, should we do a little disguise before we go?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Shen and smiled slowly.

"Of course."

……

In the evening, Qi Zhao followed Xie Shen out of the city lord's mansion with a look of lovelessness.

There was also Lu Zuobing beside him.

Xie Shen dressed up as a playboy, wearing a gold-rimmed deep purple robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his lips, completely different from the plain and plain City Lord Xie.Lu Zuobing was still dressed like a big man in women's clothing, wearing a white wide-sleeved skirt, very noble and glamorous.

As for Qi Zhao...

Qi Zhao looked down at the goose-yellow skirt on his body, feeling that he was not well.

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Xie Shen smiled, and raised the folding fan in Qi Zhao's chin, "The goose yellow dress with light rouge is really good."

Qi Zhao sighed: "Don't tease me with this face, it makes me always have the illusion of cheating."

Xie Shen: "..."

Lu Zuobing remained expressionless, but with a smile in his eyes, he turned around, "Let's go."

auction.

It is in the most prosperous place in the city. It looks like a grocery store on the surface, but it looks different underground.

The three walked into the grocery store. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, who looked gentle and peaceful, and bowed to them, "What do you guys need?"

"I think the shopkeeper's shop is not big, but there are quite a lot of things. The shopkeeper must have a unique vision. I have something here. I want to ask the shopkeeper to take a look."

Xie Shen took out the cyan wooden sign from his arms and handed it over, the shopkeeper smiled slightly, "It is indeed a good item, please come with me to talk about it later."

The three of them followed him into the back hall, and the shopkeeper pressed on the wall, and a pair of calligraphy and paintings in the middle slowly separated, revealing a dark room.

The shopkeeper turned to the wrong side, "Three, let's go in... However, I would like to advise you in advance, there are dragons and snakes mixed in, it is very chaotic, and you should know what to look at and what not to look at."

He said so, but he still had a kind and gentle expression on his face, and it was very strange to be together.

Xie Shen casually smiled, "These young masters understand everything, so you don't need to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, he waved the folding fan in his hand and stepped into the room.

After walking through a long, narrow and dark passage, turning a corner, the front of you suddenly opened up.In front of him is a golden vine-wood-bottomed hall, with patterns carved around the walls, vaguely mysterious.

As soon as they entered, someone came over, "Are the three here to bid or auction?"

"Bidding." Xie Shen waved his folding fan again, with the air of a dandy with a lot of money, "Give us the best position, hurry up."

The messenger obviously saw many people like this, and the smile on his face was impeccably beautiful, "The three please follow me."

He led them to an elegant room on the left side of the second floor, naturally it was not a good location, but it was in line with He Shen's wishes, they would find a time to sneak out, this kind of place is easy to deceive people's eyes and ears.

"The auction will start soon, the three of you don't worry."

After the envoy finished speaking, he bowed and stepped back.

Xie Shen first added another layer of enchantment outside the elegant room to ensure that he would not be eavesdropped and monitored, and then sat down behind the table.

Qi Zhao sat down beside him, and Yashi used the formation technique, the outside couldn't see the inside, but the inside could clearly see the outside.He looked outside, and at a glance, he saw the booth below, which was gorgeous and exquisite, although it was empty.

With the album of this auction in his hand, Qi Zhao took it out and looked at it. Most of it was filled with magic weapons and rare materials. After a few glances, he directly turned to the last page. Golden question mark.

"The finale should be the ones in the rumors. Whether it is true or not, you can tell at a glance." Lu Zuobing said lightly, "If you like something before, just buy it, I have money."

Just as Qi Zhao was about to respond, Xie Shen said, "No need, he has me."

Qi Zhao couldn't help laughing, didn't say anything, just acquiesced.Lu Zuobing looked at them, and then thought about all these years that he couldn't ask for, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and didn't want to say anything to them.

Half an hour later, the surrounding lights suddenly went dark, only the booth was still on.

Qi Zhao knew that this was the beginning of the auction.

The noisy crowd under the booth suddenly fell silent, staring up at the top. Soon, a person walked out from the side of the booth, and bowed his hands to everyone in a gentle manner.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, but you can rest assured that you will never be disappointed tonight."

After finishing speaking, he smiled again, put his hands on the black cloth covered on the stone platform in front of him, and said: "Not much to say, let's take a look at the first lot of today - Nine-turn Taiji Banner, a top-grade magic weapon, a good Divination, predicting yin and yang, the reserve price is ten high-grade spirit stones."

This thing is quite suitable for Duwen. Qi Zhao bowed his head and calculated the price. Ten high-grade spirit stones are equal to 1000 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones, and 100 million low-grade spirit stones are still the base price.

Each of his flower pots is only three low-grade spirit stones.

This can buy hundreds of thousands of flower pots!

Qi Zhao was silent for a while, then secretly said to Xie Shen, "...is this a money grab?"

Xie Shen smiled softly, "It's not that you don't have money, why do you think so?"

It was only then that Qi Zhao remembered that he was more or less a rich man now, and rubbed his nose, he didn't like being poor for a long time.

He glanced at the Qiankun bag, and when he looked up again, the price below had been called 30 yuan for top-grade spirit stones, and Qi Zhao pressed the sound transmission stone on the table, "35."

"37."

"forty."

"45."

"..."

The nine-turn Tai Chi banner was still photographed by Qi Zhao.

The envoy brought in the wooden plaque engraved with the number of the Tai Chi Banner, and then quickly withdrew it. Qi Zhao looked at the wooden plaque in his hand again, and sighed, "It feels so good to spend money."

"Then continue." Xie Shen said, "Let others know that this place is a dude first, and the troubles will be resolved later. You can buy whatever you want."

Xiaocai fan touched his nose, "Is this okay?"

Lu Zuobing stood beside him expressionlessly and said, "Because except for what you want to buy, everything else is my brother's."

Qi Zhao understood, squinted his eyes and smiled, and never moved his hand from the sound transmission stone on the table.After a few rounds like this, everyone in the auction house knew that the people on the second floor had a lot of money and would grab everything.

Seeing that the effect was almost done, Qi Zhao withdrew his hand, and then only occasionally bid a few times.After about two hours, the competing products on the field slowly came to an end.

The lights on the stand suddenly dimmed.

The person from before returned to the booth, "Everyone, this is the last auction item for today. There should be many of you here for this. Now, please wait with bated breath."

He deliberately showed off, the black cloth covering the booth was torn off at an extremely slow speed, and everyone nervously watched the things on it reveal their true colors, first there was a little light, and then the overflowing light instantly illuminated the entire booth.

There were seven or eight pots of spiritual plants, four to six levels of Yun Ling, colorful lights mixed together, dazzling, and next to them was a dark box, the man didn't whet their appetite any more, and slowly opened the box Turn around, there are many Kuai Ling planter wooden signs inside.

The rumors are true.

Lu Zuobing sat up straight suddenly, squinted his eyes, looked over, and the people on the booth smiled slightly, "The auction starts now, the reserve price is 100 yuan for high-grade spirit stones."

The people below instantly boiled over, and the bidding sounded one after another, and the price was very scary.

Qi Zhao looked at Xie Shen, "Shall we shoot?"

Before Xie Shen answered, Lu Zuobing had already pressed the sound transmission stone. Behind him was the whole Qimu City, so he was naturally not afraid. The people at the bottom also knew that there were a lot of stupid people in this elegant room, so they were unwilling to argue with him. A spiritual plant was quickly photographed by him.

Lu Zuobing took pictures of Lingzhi to see if there were any clues in it later, and stopped after taking pictures. Qi Zhao sat in the same place and looked out. Slowly, he realized that there was something wrong with the vegetation on the booth below.

Obviously the luster on his body is dazzling, but the branches and leaves are sluggish, as if someone forcibly stimulated his blood vessels.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the three of them turned their heads to look over. Standing at the door was an envoy, holding a Tai Chi flag and the plants and trees photographed by Lu Zuobing in their hands, and they put them down on the table and went out quickly.

The grass and tree is a Qiankun tree, and I couldn't see it clearly from a distance just now, but now I really have a pot in my hand, the feeling that something is wrong is not just a feeling.

Qi Zhao hugged it, and frowned as soon as he covered it with his palm. The spiritual veins of this spiritual plant were disordered, and there was fear hidden in its breath.

The pale white spot of light slowly entered, and soon, Lingzhi in Qi Zhao's arms gradually reacted, the branches and leaves trembled and then shrank, his voice was full of fear.

"who are you?"

"Don't be afraid." Qi Zhao gently caressed its leaves with fingers, "It's okay, it's okay."

Qiankunmu slowly calmed down, the leaves shook, and the voice trembled, "You guys go away, this place is terrible...I, by the way, they also arrested many spiritual planters, and my master is also inside, he quickly Dead, save him, okay?"

By the end, I was almost crying.

Qi Zhao and Xie Shen looked at each other, Qi Zhao then asked: "We can help you, do you know where they are locked?"

"I know, I can't forget that place at all, it's terrible."

Qi Zhao nodded, stood up holding it, and glanced out again.

At this time, the auction below has already passed halfway.

Lu Zuobing said lightly, "Should we start making trouble?"

Xie Shen nodded, and after the three of them made up their minds, Qi Zhao put away the concealment talisman, and Lu Zuobing took out a low-level thunderbolt talisman from the universe bag, and threw it outside.

The people in the auction house were very cautious, they went up and intercepted the blue light on the Thunderbolt Talisman as soon as it appeared, but even so, the Thunderbolt Talisman still caused quite a commotion.

The people below were startled, and Qi Qi looked up.

Xie Shen and Lu Zuobing opened the curtain of the private room and went out, folding the fans, "I'm in charge here, come out, I paid a lot of money to buy something, but what I gave is completely different from what I saw, what does this mean? Come out!"

Someone from the other end of the floor quickly came over, "Guest officer, what's the matter?"

Xie Shen pointed to the plants in Qi Zhao's arms, "Look for yourselves, I just bought a fifth-level spiritual plant, but now I'm given a plant with no spiritual power, you should explain it to me!"

Qiankunmu has been disguised and restricted by Xie Shen, as long as the spiritual power is not higher than him, you will only feel that it is a grass without spiritual energy if you poke it in.

The manager of the auction house probed, paused with his fingers, and cupped his hands and said: "Can the guest officer temporarily hand over the vegetation to us, and after careful inspection, if something happens, the auction house is willing to compensate."

"What's the compensation, do we need some compensation from you?" Lu Zuo said coldly, "This plant has just been delivered to us, so we won't have time to cheat. You can also take a look, this is a plant that has no inspiration at all. Ordinary plants and trees with strong strength, can your store bully customers?"

There was also a spiritual planter who came to participate in the auction. After exploring with spiritual power, he responded, "It's indeed an ordinary plant. What's going on?"

"What else could be going on? It's just a lie." Xie Shen sneered, "What are you guys saying to take back what's in front of you? Do you want to change the package again? If you are like this, then you can't blame me .”

After saying that, Xie Shen took out a stack of talismans from his Qiankun bag, and started to sprinkle them without saying a word, but the people from the auction house couldn't stop them all, and the second floor shook suddenly.

Seeing that it was not good, the people below hurriedly said that the auction was suspended, and removed Lingzhi and the rattan plaque first.

The talisman thrown by Xie Shen has various attributes. The vines and trees in the auction house were built, and there was a faint fire, and the surroundings were in chaos.

Lu Zuobing lightly touched Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao understood, and while the people around were not paying attention, he slipped out from behind with Qiankunmu in his arms.

As soon as he left, Lu Zuobing pinched a magic formula with his fingers, and a phantom exactly like Qi Zhao appeared behind him, but his eyes were a little dull.

Lu Zuobing blocked the illusion, and looked at the person in front of him seriously.

……

Because the second floor was very messy and there were hardly any people downstairs, Qi Zhao used the concealment talisman and slipped into the place Qian Kunmu said without a hitch.

It's on the lower level of the auction house.

The upper part of the auction house is resplendent and magnificent, but this floor is cold and damp, and there is also a disgusting sour smell.

Qi Zhao walked in with Qiankunmu in his arms, and Lingzhi in his arms spoke with a voice: "It's the innermost place, where... it's bloody."

Qi Zhao nodded, and walked towards the depths. There was no one guarding here, and it was very quiet. Qi Zhao walked slowly into the depths, and after seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he froze for a moment.

In the ten or so cells, the spiritual planters were locked up in darkness. They sat on the wet ground with blank eyes, without any reaction. On the walls of the cell, there were layers of blood stains.

Qi Zhao's eyes flickered, and when he saw the prison cell on the far side, he couldn't help but gasped.

There was a torture rack against the wall, on which a spirit planter was tied, his limbs were hanging on it with weakness, his whole body was covered with cuts and bruises, his hands were twisted unnaturally, as if he had been broken by life.

The blood on the walls of this cell was so dark that it was creepy.

Qiankunmu's voice trembled, "They captured a lot of spiritual planters, used torture tools to force them to hand over their spiritual plants, and hypnotized them. Then, and then...these spiritual planters will be auctioned off and become puppets for others to cultivate for themselves."

"And the spiritual veins they auctioned off are also polluted. Practitioners who use them to practice will easily become demons!"

Auction Spirit Planter.

Spiritual plants and spiritual veins are polluted.

Qi Zhao's heart skipped a beat, "Is your master here?"

Only then did Qiankunmu see his surroundings clearly, and panicked, "Not here, my master is not here, by the way, they said that the fifth-level spirit planter is being auctioned tonight, so it should be my master."

Qi Zhao frowned, and suddenly felt something cool touch his ankle, he was startled, and looked down, it turned out to be the Tengshe Shenmu.

"How did you come?"

Qi Zhao leaned over to pick it up, and Xie Shen's low voice quickly rang out, "I'm worried, come and have a look."

Qi Zhao hummed, and was about to tell Xie Shen what Qiankunmu said to him before, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure swaying on the wall at the entrance of the dungeon, and then heavy footsteps resounded.

Qi Zhao quickly pinched another concealment talisman and hid it in a corner.

The talisman was written by Xie Shen. Qi Zhao is not worried about being discovered. It is true that the people who came last time did not pay attention to his side. The person walking in the front was covered by a cloak, and his face was covered In the hat, nothing can be seen clearly.

He stopped at the door of the cell where the torture rack was placed, his voice was hoarse and ugly, like an old man Shen Mu, "how is he?"

"Still refused, this person is very determined, and forced hypnosis has not succeeded."

"Heh." The hoarse old man's voice sounded again, "Continue hypnosis with the demonized nightmare flower, I want to see if he can last for a few more days."

The people around respectfully responded, "Yes."

The old man looked around and said: "Since there is nothing abnormal here, then the people above must be dandies making trouble, so send them away quickly, and don't continue the auction after the auction."

After saying that, he turned around and went up the stone steps again.When the footsteps were completely gone, Qi Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and asked Xie Shen, "What shall we do next?"

"It's better not to startle the snakes now, and discuss it with Lu Jianshui after returning home, so as to completely put an end to the matter here."

Qi Zhao had the same idea as him, said hello, hugged the Tengshe Shenmu and Qiankunmu, slipped back the same way, and removed the concealment talisman standing at the position of the illusion.Lu Zuobing immediately retracted the illusion, and no one noticed the abnormality here.

The steward of the auction house was still negotiating with Xie Shen, but the man in black who hurried over next to him whispered a few words in his ear, and the steward softened his expression.

"Guest officer, it's not an option to go on like this. What do you think? Sometimes due to changes in the outside world, the grass and trees may temporarily pretend to have no spiritual power. You should take it back first. If it is still the same after one night, the auction house will take the spiritual power away. The stone is double returned, okay?"

Xie Shen waved his fan and snorted disdainfully: "Wouldn't it be nice to have this attitude earlier? But I really don't want your little money, and I don't bother to make trouble with you now. If it doesn't get better after one night, I will smash it." here you are."

The words were very dandy, and there was a flash of impatience in the manager's eyes, but he still smiled, "Yes, I'm sorry."

Xie Shen waved his hand, "Okay, everyone said that the Qimu City Auction House is the best, but I never thought about it, it's just a name, I'm gone, I don't want to stay here for a while."

The steward endured for a moment, then stepped back to the side.

Xie Shen didn't look at him, and took Qi Zhao and Lu Zuobing out of the auction house in a big way. I don't know if they couldn't take care of the ending, or because they thought they were just stupid people who didn't care about money, and the auction house didn't even have anyone to follow up sent out.

The three of them made a detour back to the city lord's mansion, Xie Shencai took off his dandy look and became expressionless again.

Qi Zhao sighed at Xie Shen's acting skills, "Shall we go to the Great Castellan now?"

Lu Zuobing's eyes lit up, he hummed, and walked quickly to the study.

study.

Lu Jianshui asked them to sit down, first smiled at Lu Zuobing, then looked at Qi Zhao and Xie Shen, "How is it going?"

"There is indeed a problem."

Qi Zhao told them the situation in the dungeon, and after hearing him finish, Lu Jianshui lowered his eyes, "I haven't done much in these years, and there are people who are so bold that they do these things in my eyes."

Lu Zuobing hummed expressionlessly, "Probably because the past few years have been so good."

Lu Jianshui smiled, "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head, "The matter of the auction house is not different from what I thought before. I have a way here, just in case you don't want it."

"The city lord said it directly."

Lu Jianshui didn't play tricks with them, and directly stated his plan.

As soon as the words fell, Xie Shen's eyes sank.

"No."

The author has something to say: I think I still have to say something.

The plot of the auction house didn’t come in abruptly, it’s because I set a turning point in my original outline. Gave me advice on the auction house.

I sorted out the plot of the auction house and the settings behind it, and only used it after I was sure there was no problem.Every article is my painstaking effort. I have always treated them with a very serious and responsible attitude. I don’t mess around casually. I think I can accept a lot of comments. I don’t care about criticizing zero points, but I can’t bear it , Others deny how serious I am about my writing.

I am very busy in three dimensions, all kinds of things, and then my hand speed is slow, and I work hard to make more six thousand. Every night I have a headache for a long time before I can fall asleep. I really feel a little bit broken when I see some comments. Even if there are not many such comments, but one is enough. It's heartbreaking enough.I don't want to sell it badly, the city owner has more than 25 words, and the author has never mentioned anything negative. I... Forget it, I don't know what to say.

I am writing to entertain others and myself, I am sorry for letting you see these unpleasant things, maybe I will regret deleting it when I wake up tomorrow morning, and everyone will think I am crazy.

good night.
