No matter what is hidden behind Qianyingjun's evil smile, I definitely can't figure it out now.
The moment the deal was concluded, Hu Jiashu slowly stood up and walked towards the auction table holding the small box with carved dragons in his hands.
Qianyingjun also stood up to greet him.
When they arrived at the auction table, Qianyingjun picked up the section of the whip and handed it to Hu Jiashu. After Hu Jiashu took the whip, he also handed the small box in his hand to Qianyingjun.
At this moment, Qianyingjun suddenly poked his head over and said something in Hu Jiashu's ear.
After saying that, Hu Jiashu frowned, then looked at Qianyingjun for a few seconds and said, "No need!"
Qianying-kun didn't say anything further.
At this time, Nalan Gu announced that the auction was over, and people at the venue began to leave one after another.
Qianying-kun went directly to the backstage of the auction house, probably leaving through the back door just like we did last time.
After a while, only the top ten people on the 100-star list were left in the entire auction hall. Everyone was sitting in their seats with no intention of leaving.
Most people were staring at Hu Jiashu. Only Kailong from Kunlun was still teasing Wang Haiyang with a smile. However, Wang Haiyang didn't buy it and kept an indifferent expression on his face.
Everyone was staring at Hu Jiashu like this, which made Hu Jiashu feel a little unnatural. He didn't dare to return to his seat for a while. After being stunned for a few seconds, he raised his hands to everyone and said: "Fellow Taoists, please don't look at Hu with such eyes.
So, it made me think I was some eternal sinner."
After Hu Jiashu said this, Qiu Zhan, who was seventh on the Hundred Stars list, slowly stood up and said: "Congratulations to Brother Hu, your East China Branch has spent a lot of money this time. You have brought out things like the Dragon God Badge. This whip is natural.
It has to be you, and the relationship between your East China Branch and Longcheng will probably get closer because of this."
Hu Jiashu smiled and said: "Your Northwest Branch is not bad either. You have even brought out the snow lotus that turns into a Buddha."
The two said a few words to each other, and Qiu Zhan handed over his hands and said: "Well, since there is no chance, I will not stay here anymore. Fellow Daoist Hu, we will see you next year in the battle for the top ten supernatural beings!"
Hu Jiashu nodded.
When Qiu Zhan stood up and left, he turned to look at me and said, "And Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm also looking forward to playing against you."
I also said to Qiu Zhan: "To each other, each other!"
Then Wang Haiyang from the Northeast Branch also stood up and said goodbye to Qiu Zhan, but she did not mention that they would fight against each other in the future. Kailong seemed to be Wang Haiyang's little follower. When Wang Haiyang left, he followed suit.
Even when he said hello when they left, he was very perfunctory, as if he only had Wang Haiyang in his heart.
After Wang Haiyang and Kailong left, He Jiang from the Upper Realm Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also stood up. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Nalan Gu also took a deep breath.
These people are all leaders of the major forces, and he cannot afford to offend anyone who causes trouble here. Nalan Gu's heart is still filled with fear about Xiaoxiao.
Nalan Gu smiled at me and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, everyone has left. You can follow me to the back hall. I have something to discuss with you. It just so happened that Daoist Hu got the magic whip and left through the back door."
It’s also more convenient.”
I nodded.
When we arrived at the back hall, Nalan Gu led us to a room.
This room is not big, with a tea table, a pot of tea, and four cups.
After Nalan Gu made tea for us, he smiled and said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate fellow Taoist Hu for bidding for the magic whip. He has made great contributions to your East China Branch."
Hu Jiashu cupped his hands and thanked him.
Nangong Fancong didn't like listening to these nonsense, and said directly to Nalan Gu: "Don't you have something to do with Chen Yu? If you have something to do, tell me immediately. If there is nothing, we will leave!"
Nalan Gu then said directly to me: "Actually, it's about Chen Daoyou's life poison. I don't know what Chen Daoyou is thinking about, whether he is willing to put out a few more drops for auction. We only charge a small commission.
That’s all.”
The snack foodie is now a golden Gu, and is only one step away from being the Gu King. The amount of Gu it needs to devour is huge, so perhaps the auction house is a way out.
I thought for a moment and said, "But I can't stay at the auction house every day!"
Nalan Gu said: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Chen, our auction house has the highest reputation. If you put the poison with us, we will auction it for you. We will keep the things you get and come over when you are free."
You can just pick it up, or you can leave us an address and we can deliver it to your door!”
Nalan Gu once said that if I auction the poison here, they only need to keep a small part as reward.
I don't need to spend anything.
So I nodded, and then took out a jade bottle, which was the toxins from snacks that I usually collected. The quantity was less than the last Gu Master auction, but it was replaced with dozens of Gu Kings and even a Gu Immortal.
It is all acceptable.
After taking out the jade bottle, I said to Nalan Gu: "I only want Gu insects, and the level must be Gu King or above. If there are Gu Immortals, Gu Immortals will be given priority."
Nalan Gu said: "Easy to say!"
While talking, I saw a hint of excitement in Nalan Gu's eyes, as if he wanted to make this deal with me.
Next, Nalan Gu took out a black wooden sign and gave it to me, with the runes of the auction engraved on it. He said to me: "Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the certificate of our auction. It contains the certificates of me and our president."
The power of the oath, so you can rest assured that our credibility will never be in question!"
I nodded and said, "Okay, then I'm relieved. As for the items I auctioned, they will be put at your auction for the time being. I will come here every one or two months to pick them up. At that time, I will decide whether to continue to auction the poison."
Nalan Gu also nodded happily.
After everything was settled, we drank tea here for a while and then left through the back door of the auction house.
We went back to the inn first.
When we first arrived at the inn, there were already rumors that Xiao Jing taught Xiao Xiao a lesson in the auction house.
I didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly.
Of course, there are also rumors about several kinds of treasures that appeared at the auction, as well as the fact that the East China Branch finally took a picture of the magic whip.
If these things spread so quickly in Penglai Fairy City, then the entire supernatural world will know about it soon.
Back at the inn, we simply packed up and prepared to leave Penglai Fairy City. Of course, before leaving, we went to the White Lion Garden and told Xiao Huangxian all the things I asked about Xiao Huang and asked him to wait.
I'll tell Bai Yusheng again after he comes back.
After explaining these things, we left Penglai Fairy City.
We first arrived in Chengdu, where Hu Jiashu took a flight back to the East China Branch, while Nangong Fancong and I continued to stay here, waiting for our twenty-sixth case.
After we returned to Chengdu, we stayed at our rented place and did a lot of homework every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-May. Just when I was getting a little impatient, I received a call from Cai Yan.
After answering the phone, I couldn't wait to ask if the twenty-sixth case had been settled.
Cai Yan said: "Yes, I won't have anything else to do with you. So, you go to the underground building to find me first, and I will give you the information!"
I said: "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Nangong Fanhao and I went out to the underground building together. Nangong Fanhao was wearing modern clothes today and tied her hair into a ponytail.
When I arrived at the underground building and saw him in Cai Yan's office, he didn't waste any words. He handed me a leather bag and said, "This is your case this time. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, go ahead and execute it."
The name of the case was written on the cowhide bag - "Human Skin Corpse"!
When I saw these four words, I couldn't help but feel cold. As soon as I heard about this case, I knew that we were going to experience something terrible again.
Opening the cowhide bag, we saw a long-range photo of a village. The village was not big, with about a dozen households. The village was all old stone houses. Judging from the architectural style, it looked like a small village in the north.
village.
But after reading the information for a while, I discovered that this was a small village in Daofu County, Sichuan. However, the information clearly stated that the village disappeared as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty.
The person who took this photo was a traveler who took it more than 20 years ago. They arrived in Daofu County, and then walked westward to the bank of the Longbachiwatong River, where they discovered this unknown village in the middle reaches of the river.
There were six of them in total at the time. After entering the village, they found a deserted village and decided to stay in the deserted village for one night to enjoy the thrill of adventure.
But who knew that at night, shortly after they went to bed, the whole village would become lively, with dozens of people appearing in the village at once!
When they were woken up, the people in the village were lighting a fire and burning a large bronze tripod.
Although the six of them were scared, they slowly relaxed their vigilance after seeing the man and the fire, and leaned over to take a closer look.
But as they approached, those people suddenly swarmed over and caught them all.
And took them to the vicinity of Tongding.
Then they also saw clearly that the things cooked in the copper tripod were not food, but sharp tools such as knives and scissors, and those sharp tools were all made of bronze.
They kept asking those people what they were arresting them for, but at this moment, they discovered through the firelight that these people had stitching marks all over their bodies, as if they were sewn together with pieces of human skin.
They also noticed that the bodies of those who captured them were very soft, as if they were inflated balloons.
Once you squeeze it, it will sink in so much that it even makes you feel like it might explode at any time.
Those are not people, but corpses with human skins one after another!
Those people also instantly understood that the tools in the bronze tripod were tools for making these corpse bags!
Seeing this, my heart also tightened. Since this story has been passed down, there must be a survivor among the six. How did that survivor survive? I couldn't help but continue reading! (Unfinished)
