Nothing is to blame

Chapter 155

Just now, a ray of light flashed across the sky, and a dark figure landed in the open space in the middle of the "Lin Terrace".

This person is not tall, his beard and hair are all white, but his complexion is unusually ruddy, he seems to be a member of the family.

However, his meritorious deeds are really unbearable. There are thousands of monks in the "Lintai" looking around, but they can't find three people with lower cultivation bases.

As soon as the old man landed on the ground, he smiled and saluted frequently, without showing any timidity.I don't know why he has this confidence, and he talks and laughs happily with the people present.

But the people around saw this old man with fiery eyes.The old man's light has not dissipated, and his foothold is not stable.Hundreds of people gathered around, and the voices of "one thousand" and "one thousand two hundred" came from this.

Next to Gui Wujiu, a middle-aged Taoist priest in green clothes and long beard, holding a dust whisk in his hand, originally had a detached, elegant and noble demeanor, sitting cross-legged quietly.At this time, seeing the old man enter the arena, he didn't care about the pomp, he quickly stood up and was about to go forward.

Gui Wugui grabbed his sleeve and said with a smile: "This fellow Taoist is being polite." He pointed at the old man and asked, "How about asking that old man who is so sacred? It has attracted many fellow Taoists to flock to him?"

The long-bearded Taoist glanced at Gui Wujiu and said, "Poverty Taoist Ling Xuzi. Dare I ask you?"

Gui Wugui smiled and said: "In the north of Xiarong Prefecture, Damang Mountain Sanxiu Wen Jin Yuan."

Lingxuzi said: "If the poor expectations are correct, this must be the first time for Wen Daoist to go to the "Exploring Xuanhui", right? This ancient Tianshan Daoist has been in the alchemy for three hundred years and has participated in eleven meetings. Although the income is very little, But every time he is in danger, it is rumored that he has the secret technique of divination for the good and bad of the "Gate of Life and Death", and he is well-known among his peers."

"This is the twelfth meeting of Fellow Daoist Gu taking the time to explore the mystery. From the sixth time he participated in the meeting, this old man is the most eye-catching person on the Lintai. Fellow Daoist Wen must have a general idea of ​​what the fellow Daoists are bidding for. There are many."

After finishing speaking, Taoist Lingxu gave a hasty salute, ignored Gui Wugui, and turned around to go.

Gui Wugui couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Yulan Secret Realm has nearly half of the death rate.The secret realm is dangerous, and monks attacking and killing come next.The most important thing is that before going out of the valley, there is a difficult obstacle.

The Yulan Secret Realm is very vast, containing five secret places, occupying five directions.Among them, Yancuiqian Lake, Xuanyuan Valley, Chongjin Cave, and Simu Sand Sea in the four directions have been explored and understood by Yu Xuanzong for thousands of years.Most of the treasures have been taken away.

Only the "Jiuye Mountain" in the center is different.If you take the secret treasure from it, there will be an extra checkpoint when you leave the Yulan Secret Realm, known as the "Gate of Life and Death".

It is this difficulty that makes the explorer monks divided into yin and yang, and life and death are different.

Escaping from the gate of life is naturally unscathed; for those who accidentally enter the gate of death, eight out of ten stops are the elimination of life and death, and the remaining [-]% ​​are also foolish and foolish, and become useless people.It is said that this heavy price was also the reason why Yu Xuanzong opened up the secret realm.

The two gates of life and death are generally the same on the surface, and no one can tell the difference.This kind of life and death choice is done right eleven times in a row, and the probability is less than one in a thousand.If it was a coincidence, no one would believe it.

When other people rushed to bid, the old man Gu Tianshan quickly reached out to stop him.

The old man clasped his fists and saluted to the surroundings, and said, "Fellow daoists. Before bidding, there are a few things that I would like to clarify with you."

"The reason why there are five places, not four, six, or seven. This is because the old man's magic weapon of "death-taking copper coins" is a mother and five sons. It happens to convey five messages. Therefore, the bidders are not among the top five. , don’t mess around with me.”

"Although this old man has some tricks in the last "life and death test". But everyone knows that when hunting for treasures in Jiuye Mountain, this old man has always had extremely bad luck. Therefore, if any fellow Taoist is determined to follow this old man, he will not leave every step of the way. Idea. There is nothing wrong with old age. But it will inevitably cause you to make a trip for nothing."

"Third, it will take a certain amount of time for the old man to calculate the good or bad fortune of the door of life and death. If the fellow Taoist who got the "ziqian" leaves before the old man calculates the result, then no matter good or bad, it has nothing to do with the old man."

"Now, you can bid."

"Eighteen hundred."

"Two thousand one hundred."

"Two thousand two hundred."

……

In front of Gu Tianshan is a half-rolled straw mat.Five groups of pearls are placed on the straw mat from left to right.The order is sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, twenty-one, and twenty-two.

Under the straw mat is a porcelain bowl filled with hundreds of pearls the size of rice grains.

"Three thousand!"

At the same time as the sound sounded, a black light rolled over, and the straw mat was spread out about a foot, and there were thirty more pearls on it.

It was a handsome young man in a blue robe with a golden crown and a fish bag around his waist.This young man's aura is not weak, and if you look around, among the monks in the first stage of Jindan, there may not be one in twenty or thirty manpower who can beat this person.

Gu Tianshan chuckled, flicked his sleeve, rolled up the sixth pile of sixteen pearls, and put them back into the porcelain bowl.

Every time a price climbs to a new high, the one that falls from fifth to sixth is naturally considered out.

"Three thousand one hundred."

"Three thousand two hundred."

……

After about a quarter of an hour, the remaining five clusters of pearls on the straw mat were fifty, forty-seven, forty-six, forty-five, and forty-three.

This figure is roughly the same as it was thirty years ago.

There have always been great winners in the Yulan Secret Realm, and the value of the treasures obtained has reached more than [-] fine jade, or even more than [-].However, only one or two out of tens of millions of people can obtain such treasures.

For the vast majority of monks, obtaining a treasure worth tens of thousands of fine jade is a more realistic goal.

Tens of thousands of fine jades are enough to be worth thousands of years of refining the five elements and miscellaneous jades.This kind of harvest is already worth a golden core casual cultivator taking a big risk to go there.

Being able to pay nearly half of the expected harvest in exchange for the guarantee of their own safety.It is an extremely wise choice.If the bid is higher than [-], the loss outweighs the gain.

"One hundred thousand."

Following the sound, a ball of brilliance shot out quickly, covering all the forty-three pearls on the straw mat, and a fist-sized round ball of light appeared, exuding a soft and pure white brilliance.

Just when everyone, including Gu Tianshan, decided that the bidding had settled, a sudden change disrupted the entire "Lintai".Everyone present buzzed in their heads, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

One hundred thousand?

The bidder was none other than the middle-aged cultivator from Xingyue Gate holding a scroll.

Gu Tianshan said in astonishment: "This fellow Taoist, dare to ask your name?"

The Xingyuemen middle-aged monk said coldly: "Pingzhou casual cultivator, Wang Muba."

This middle-aged man has an elegant appearance, and he has been sitting on the stone platform reading books quietly.Did not think his name is so strange.At the moment, thousands of eyes are lingering on him.

Gu Tianshan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Bidding for refined jade is based on boxes, not liters. Refined jade is refined into pearls, and a box is equivalent to a hundred liters. One hundred thousand refined jades are sold by refining the five elements and miscellaneous jades." In theory, it is equivalent to ten thousand years of merit. Is Wang Daoyou bidding one hundred thousand boxes of refined jade?"

"Wang Muba" said indifferently: "It's not about dealing with spirit-shaped monks. Jindan monks rent Xingdao in the wild sea, participate in the three meetings, and bid in the fairy market. Naturally, they all bid by boxes."

Just when Gu Tianshan was overjoyed, several voices sounded one after another:

"One hundred thousand and one thousand."

"One hundred and twelve thousand."

"One hundred and three thousand."

Gui Wugui secretly said "Okay!"

It turned out that the three people who called for the price were all in his sight.The one who bid "one hundred thousand and one thousand" is the woman from the Xingyue Gate who is wearing a bun with two knives.

These four people from the Xingyue Gate must be connected by a secret method.Bidding at the same time at this time is a kind of detail.Every move made the illusion that the four of them did not know each other.

At a critical moment in the secret realm, a little misjudgment is enough to kill a person.

The other two are "one and a half" acquaintances that Gui Wugui pays attention to.In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already approached silently.

The plain-looking middle-aged man who bid "[-]", Gui Wujiu was sure that he was acquainted.Previously, I couldn't tell the difference when the distance was far away, but now I walked closer and felt the aura carefully, and finally revealed the answer.

This person is none other than Jiao Shentu, the elder of Liuhe Sect when he first entered Zhongqu Island and attended the banquet in Yuhuafang.But his secret method of changing face and breathing is far worse than that of Xingyuemen, and Gui Wugui discovered the true face of this person just by relying on his own ability to sense the qi and distinguish the machine.

As for the "half" acquaintance, it was a black-robed Taoist wearing a big red mask.This person was originally standing on the northernmost side of the "Lintai", strangely independent.Gui Wugui only felt that his aura was half familiar, half unfamiliar, and he must have crossed paths with himself, but recalled one by one, he was completely different from anyone he knew.

Don't worry about these.

Gui Wugui said indifferently: "One hundred and four thousand."

Everyone's gazes focused on Gui Wujiu and the five of them.

The "Wang Muba" and the female cultivator of the Xingyue Gate used secret techniques to cover up their cultivation. In the eyes of others, their cultivation was comparable to or slightly stronger than most people above "Lintai".

Although Jiao Shentu concealed his appearance and aura, he did not deliberately hide his cultivation.Most of the people present guessed that this is a person above the double mirror with an unbroken path.

That masked Taoist had an extremely strange aura, and no one could tell whether his cultivation was superior or not.It even gave everyone a strange feeling: this person is not a Golden Core cultivator.Of course, this kind of feeling is too absurd, if someone has this idea, they will immediately kill it.

According to most people's judgments, this person's cultivation may be considered top-notch in the first stage of Jindan.Most of the five bidders ranked second only to Jiao Shentu.

And Gui Wugui's aura, no matter in the ranks of five or in the entire Lintai, is undoubtedly the weakest.

The cultivation bases of these five people are divided into four classes: quasi-nascent soul monks whose path has not been broken, strong, mediocre, and weak among Jindan monks.

The five people all bid more than [-] yuan, and they seemed to be sure that they could get a rare treasure of the highest value, and bought a guarantee for their wealth and life.

For a time it was a spectacle.
