"I understand." The gentle woman nodded, then turned and left.
It wasn't until she left for a moment that Adjutant Zhang's frown relaxed at the window.
He thought about it and felt that the person who came here this time should be a senior left behind by Xiling, and the purpose was simply to give Chen Ziyan a platform.
After all, even though the bandits in Xiiling have dispersed long ago, there is still a certain amount of love left. As long as their personal interests are not involved, those who came out of Changsheng Mountain will give Chen Ziyan some face.
After figuring out the joints involved, Adjutant Zhang let the matter go.
No matter what happens, no one in the Crescent Hotel can bully the people under Buddha's care.
At this time, the lobby of the Crescent Hotel fell into an indescribable silence, and only some ignorant people didn't know what was going on.
The reason that made them act like this was the lanterns that were lit outside the box where Chen Ziyan and the others were.
In a private room on the second floor, Huo Xiangu looked at the lit lantern with a complicated expression, unable to regain her consciousness for a long time.
Only people like her who have come from that era know how powerful Xieling was back then.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" At this moment, a clear and sweet female voice sounded, bringing Huo Xiangu's wandering thoughts back to reality.
The person who spoke was a pretty girl who looked a little quirky. Her eyebrows and eyes looked very similar to Huo Xiangu. She was Huo Ling, the next generation successor of the Huo family.
"Do you still remember what I told you before about the mysterious inheritance in the tomb robbing business?" Huo Xiangu turned to look at her daughter nestling next to her and asked with a smile.
When facing her daughter, Huo Xiangu's eyes were full of tenderness, without any hint of her usual strength.
"The mysterious inheritance in the tomb robbing business?" Huo Ling's bright eyes showed a thoughtful look, and then she said slowly: "Are there five sects: hair mound, gold touching, mountain moving, mountain unloading, and mountain watching?"
Although there are many factions in the tomb robbing industry, when talking about the word inheritance, those who know the industry will think of these five names immediately.
"That's right." Huo Xiangu nodded with a smile, and then told a not-so-secret secret: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Crescent Hotel, these sects were still roaming the world, so in order to show respect to the seniors in the industry,
At that time, Boss Yin specially set a rule, which was to set aside exclusive seats for these five groups in the Crescent Hotel, which are now private rooms. When someone enters these private rooms, a bright light will be hung outside.
."
Hearing Huo Xiangu's words, Huo Ling subconsciously glanced at the bright lantern and said with some disbelief: "But... haven't all these five sects been lost?"
"Lost?" Huo Xiangu smiled and shook her head: "Except for Guanshan, who has a poor foundation, none of the other four sects has a profound foundation. It is not easy to cut off these inheritances. The so-called lost inheritance is just that the contemporary successors of the other party have not appeared.
."
There was one thing she didn't say, that is, if we really wanted to count it out, the Buddha standing behind the Crescent Hotel and the Adjutant Zhang could be regarded as the descendants of the Faqiu lineage.
"Then which lantern does this represent?" Huo Ling nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously.
She has been observing the lantern, but she didn't see anything.
Hearing this, Huo Xiangu slowly spit out two words: "Xiling."
"Shaling warrior?" Huo Ling's curiosity was immediately aroused.
Regarding these sects, Huo Ling is most interested in Xiling.
There are seals on hair hills, talismans on touching gold, skills on moving mountains, and armor on unloading mountains.
These four jargons basically cover the characteristics of the four sects, but compared to the other three sects, Xiling is the most mysterious, because there are different opinions on this ‘A’, and there is no accurate explanation at all.
Furthermore, the rumors about Xiling made her feel that this sect was very contradictory, and that it felt a little incompatible with the tomb robbing profession. All these together naturally made her curious.
Thinking of this, Huo Ling took advantage of the situation and asked her doubts: "Mom, do you know what Xilingjia is?"
Huo Xiangu shook her head and said: "I don't know. Although everyone in the industry knows that there is armor in Xiling, no one has seen it with their own eyes. It is said that it is a secret that only the chief of thieves can know. Compared with the hair that has appeared in front of the world,
Qiu Yin and Touching Gold Talisman, Xiling may seem huge in scale, but its level of mystery is no less mysterious than that of Bishan."
……
At this moment, such conversations were heard almost everywhere in the Crescent Hotel, and even Chen Ziyan and the others felt strange.
When Wang Kaixuan couldn't hear the conversation outside clearly, but he could still hear the noisy whispers, he looked outside and then said curiously: "Do you feel a little strange, something is wrong?"
His intuition told him that the place where he and others seemed to have become the focus of the entire hotel.
Hu Bayi also noticed it, but he didn't know what the problem was. He said doubtfully: "I also feel something is wrong, but where is the problem?"
Then he looked around and found that even Chen Ziyan looked suspicious, but Chen Yulou, who was sitting in the chair, still looked as calm as ever.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi started to worry and asked: "Old man, what's going on?"
"It's just that people from the younger generation are rare and strange." Chen Ziyan said calmly.
Wang Kaixuan didn't understand what he heard and asked: "It's not that I'm not sensible, but can we use less tricks, old man? Why do you have anything to do with us? At least explain it more clearly."
What bothers him the most is this kind of roundabout talk. If it had been someone else, he would have started a fight long ago.
This means that Chen Yulou is an elder and has a relationship with Chen Ziyan, otherwise his fat man would not be used to it.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ziyan took over and asked, "Uncle, this is our first time here, why don't you tell us."
In fact, he was quite curious. He only knew how to light sky lanterns, but he had never heard of anything special about the private rooms of the Crescent Hotel.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Chen Yulou treated his nephew very well. Hearing this, he directly stated the reason: "It's because of the lantern hanging outside."
"Lantern?" Chen Ziyan looked outside curiously, and then saw the lantern hanging on the side of the box.
Because of the angle, he really didn't notice this before. Now when he saw the lanterns outside the box, he subconsciously thought of lighting up the sky lanterns.
But as soon as I thought about it, I felt something was wrong. Even if other people had revealed this during conversations, Crescent Hotel would not do such a mindless thing.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan once again set his sights on Chen Yulou. Although he had no evidence, he just felt that his uncle knew the answer.
Although Chen Yulou was blind, his heart was open. He understood that these juniors were a little confused, so he said: "This lamp represents the presence of the Xiling family."
Hearing Chen Yulou's words, Chen Ziyan suddenly remembered what happened just now. No wonder the gentle woman led them here immediately after seeing Xiao Shenfeng. It turned out to be because of this.
Wang Kaixuan thought of himself and Hu Bayi's identity as Captain Jin, and quickly asked: "Old man, do we get this kind of treatment from Captain Jin?"
Chen Yulou nodded: "Of course you have the gold-touching lineage. Just show your gold-touching talisman and someone will naturally take you to the corresponding box."
"Hey, that's great. When we come back next time, we'll go to the golden box. Next time, we'll drag the American girl to the mountain-moving box." Wang Kaixuan smiled when he heard this and said happily.
He thinks this idea is so great that it will definitely make other people's jaws drop.
No one else said anything about this guy’s beautiful thoughts.
After they got the answer, they no longer paid attention to this matter. After all, no matter which box it was in, strength was still king in this world, and relying on the shadow of the predecessors, no matter how majestic it was, was nothing more than empty airs.
However, the people in the box did not take it too seriously, which does not mean that the people outside could also remain indifferent.
For example, the gentle woman who had already led her young master to a nearby place couldn't help but stop at this time.
"Aunt Wan, what's wrong?" Yin Nanfeng, who was in his prime at this time, naturally stopped and looked at his elder curiously.
As the future helmsman of the Crescent Hotel, she knows very well what Aunt Wan next to her is capable of, and she also knows that she must have her own reasons for being like this.
The gentle woman was brought back to her senses by Yin Nanfeng's voice. After taking a deep look at the door not far away, she said: "Miss, let's go to the next room first. I need to ask the adjutant for instructions on something."
She felt that she had to tell Adjutant Zhang what she had just discovered. If it was really like what she had heard, it would mean that there were far more people born this time than just the Xieling lineage, and there were even more mysterious people like gold-finding and mountain-moving. This is shocking news for people in the industry like them, especially when people from these three factions come together, it will undoubtedly make this shock even more shocking!
"Are you sure you heard it right?" When Adjutant Zhang heard the news, he also expressed that it was hard to believe it.
He remembered that the last time this group of people appeared together was during the chaotic period decades ago, and even he had never seen the other two factions. Why did they appear so suddenly now?
"No." The gentle woman nodded firmly.
She is extremely confident in her own hearing, and at such a close distance, how could she possibly make a mistake?
Adjutant Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "You did the right thing. Don't let Nanfeng pass by yet. After the auction is over, I will take her to visit."
Anyone with a discerning eye can know the consequences of mixing these three factions together.
You must know that even a single faction can walk on the ground as if walking on flat ground. Only giant tombs can stop its footsteps. It can be said that it has sufficient dominance.
But now that three of the four factions have come together, it can no longer be described as a strong alliance, so even Adjutant Zhang has to take it seriously.
And as someone who knows Zhang Dafo Ye's recent plans, Adjutant Zhang knows very well how much this combination will play into the entire plan if they can help.
"I understand." The gentle woman nodded.
This is also the purpose of her coming to see him. In this situation, it is almost meaningless just to ask Yin Nanfeng to come forward.
After a brief conversation, the two went to the box where Yin Nanfeng was, planning to visit Chen Ziyan and the others after the auction.
As time passed by, the auction officially began.
Chen Ziyan closed the auction book in his hand and stood up directly to the seat in the center of the second floor. He looked down at the auction table below like an emperor sitting on the throne.
The moment Chen Ziyan sat down, the entire Crescent Hotel suddenly burst into exclamations.
"Isn't this person ignorant of the rules?"
"Do you think people who can sit on the second floor don't understand the rules and don't see the Xiling lights hanging on the boxes they come out of?"
"Xieling, I didn't expect it to appear again now!"
……
Amid the commotion, the gentle woman also walked out of the box next to her, came to Chen Ziyan and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, do you want a light?"
Although according to the rules of the Crescent Hotel, you must light a lamp when sitting here, she still asked, after all, Chen Ziyan's identity is different now.
Faced with such obvious good intentions, Chen Ziyan naturally would not respond coldly, and immediately smiled and nodded: "Of course."
The purpose of his coming here is very simple, just to put on a blockbuster show and directly make a name for himself.
After receiving a positive reply, the gentle woman stopped talking and nodded to the auctioneer on the auction table below, indicating that she could continue.
At this time, Huo Xiangu, who was in the opposite compartment, couldn't help but look surprised when she saw Chen Ziyan walking out of the compartment with the lamp hanging on it.
She had previously thought about which family Chen Ziyan was from, but she really had not considered the possibility of Xiling.
This shocked her more than Chen Ziyan's desire to light up sky lanterns.
But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that there seemed to be no problem. As far as she knew, although Xiling was a long-established faction, the position of leader of thieves had already been held by the Chen family of Xiangyin as early as the late Qing Dynasty.
In hand.
Huo Ling, who was next to her, was equally surprised and said, "I didn't expect that the contemporary descendant of Xieling would be so young, and he looks almost the same as me."
She is now full of curiosity about Chen Ziyan and is already thinking about how to get to know him so that she can answer her doubts.
"This guy looks young, but he is much more experienced than you." Hearing her daughter's words, Huo Xiangu couldn't help but think of the conversation she had with Chen Ziyan a while ago, as well as the recent news she received.
She originally planned to use the opportunity to convince Liulichang's side to complete what she promised, but she didn't expect that just halfway through, Chen Ziyan's side used the most concise and effective method to scare the group of people.
Bold.
When she didn't find out Chen Ziyan's identity before, Huo Xiangu planned to just let it go, but now she suddenly changed her mind and felt that it would be better to just put an end to it and use this wind to directly wipe out the dust of those who had grievances in the past.<
/p>
The descendants of Xiling are worth her investment!
However, this matter is not something that can be done in a flash. It must be carefully considered, so Huo Xiangu's thoughts slowly shifted to how to do it.
Huo Ling didn't know what her mother was thinking. She was looking at Chen Ziyan with great interest as if she were watching a play, wanting to see how he would face the next thing.
Although she has not yet accepted the family affairs, she is still the next head of the Huo family in Huo Xiangu Mainland. She usually does not know too much because of the influence of her ears and eyes, so she knows that even if Chen Ziyan comes from Xiling, he needs to get a sky lantern if he wants to light it.
It takes hard power.
Especially since Xieling has been silent for so many years, it may be just a name in the eyes of many people, especially among the new generation. It is estimated that not many people will obey it.
Huo Ling knows a clear example in this regard, that is the third child of the Wu family who also belongs to the Ninth Sect.
In the past two years, that restless guy, I don’t know what he was thinking, actually ran back to Changsha to try to restore the Wu family’s handicap.
But she heard that the process was not easy, and so far she has only made two small handicaps, barely gaining a foothold.
So she didn't even need to think about it, she knew that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, someone called out the first offer.
"One hundred thousand!"
As this person became more prominent, more people joined in.
"Half a million!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"One million!"
When the price of one million appeared, there was a sudden silence in the venue, and everyone looked at a box on the second floor.
This last quotation comes from this.
The first lot in this auction is a medicinal plant, which is considered a rare species, but its value is not high because of its partial efficacy, so the price is already a serious premium.
The people in this box suddenly raised the price to such a high price, clearly trying to trick Chen Ziyan.
If Chen Ziyan wants to successfully light this first lamp, he must accept this premium.
As the person involved, Chen Ziyan did not say anything. He just glanced at the box. The rules for lighting sky lanterns were laid out there. It was useless for him to say anything now. It would be better to use hard power to speak in the end.
