"I think it must be the old city lord. He has already guessed what will happen next. Although I am not strong enough, I have a wife and you support me. But why do I have the support of my wife? He must have arrived a long time ago."
Hong Qi patted his wife's hand and said: "Don't think so much, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. You also said before, Ye Chufei is not a thing in the pond, how can he die so easily? And it's just that we didn't see Xie Tian
, it doesn’t mean that Xie Tian didn’t come to the auction, it’s just that you and I are overthinking it.”
"I hope so."
Po'er is always a little worried, but after listening to her husband's analysis just now, it really makes sense.
Hong Qi beside him began to snore after a while, but Po'er was still a little unable to sleep while sitting on the bedside.
She turned her head and looked at the man beside her, thinking to herself that maybe what he said was right, and the old city lord had expected it a long time ago.
He expected that a woman like him would follow Hong Qi, so he made Hong Qi the Lord of the Holy City.
Hong Qi's cultivation level was indeed not high at that time. He could not even be ranked among the top 10,000 in this holy city. However, in the more than a thousand years since he had been the lord of the holy city, at least nothing major had happened in Nanfeng Holy City.
There hasn't been any big trouble.
Unlike some other holy cities, divine cities, or fairy cities around, there are not many people who can be the lord of the city for such a long time, and there are not many people on this fairy road.
And a seemingly unknown man, Hong Qi, his own man, can be the city lord for such a long time, and has never been in a big chaos, which is really rare. And the reason why the old city lord supported him as the city lord, maybe
You should have expected it.
There are always a small number of people in the world who can see through the secrets of heaven and predict people's lives. Maybe the old city lord is that kind of person.
"Hey, I hope nothing happens to Ye Chu and Mei'er, otherwise..."
Po'er thought that it was late at night, and she was a little tired, so she lay down and went to sleep. As for what would happen outside, it was no longer their responsibility to care about it, and they didn't need to care about it anymore.
…
There was no talking all night, and the most talked about thing in the city the next day was the auction.
Last night, it could be said that it was a thrilling treasure feast. It was an eye-opener for most people in the city. Even if they did not participate in the bidding, they could still feast their eyes on it.
Hong Qi went to bed early and got up early. When he woke up, his wife Po'er was not awake yet.
However, in the inner hall, he met his wife's second junior sister, Xian'er.
Wearing a long purple skirt, elegant and lively, Hong Qi was really shaken. For more than a thousand years ago, the only women standing in front of him were women like this, but now.
"Xian'er."
For a moment, Hong Qi was a little dazed, thinking it was his former wife Ful'er, but when he thought that Ful'er was still sleeping in the room, he came to his senses.
"Brother-in-law."
Xian'er has recovered her divine body. Now she not only has a head, but also the rest of her body.
"Well, how are you doing lately?" Hong Qi didn't know what to say.
Although Xian'er has agreed to live with him and Fu'er and be her own woman, she has always been polite to him and usually spends most of her time in her senior sister's world and doesn't come out much.
Therefore, there was very little communication with him during these times, and Hong Qi did not dare to make any mistakes when facing Xian'er.
Even though I had kissed her for more than a thousand years before, it was different now.
"Thank you for your concern, brother-in-law. I am recovering well now, and I will be able to start practicing in a few years." Xian'er's face was also slightly red, and she also had a strange feeling when facing this brother-in-law.
"You don't have to be so restrained with me..."
Hong Qi smiled bitterly and sighed: "Speaking of which, your senior sister and I were the ones who were sorry for you back then. Don't blame us."
"I won't."
Xian'er said to Hong Qi: "Senior sister had no choice but to survive for us. It was not easy for her to survive. I am very lucky to meet such a good person like you, brother-in-law."
"I'm not good." Hong Qi smiled bitterly.
Xian'er smiled and didn't know what to say, so she could only change the subject and said: "By the way, brother-in-law, why is Master Ye Xian who saved me and my senior sister before gone missing? Where is the younger junior sister? Didn't the senior sister say that the younger junior sister is also there?
Are you still alive?"
"Are you talking about Ye Chu?"
Unexpectedly, she was also talking about Ye Chu. When Hong Qi mentioned Ye Chu, he felt a little dizzy now. The boy didn't know where he was. Although he firmly believed that he would be fine, it was a lie to say that he was not worried.
He sighed: "He left for some matters before, and he should come back after he has finished handling them. You, the junior sister, were also rescued by him, and now you, the junior sister, are his Taoist companions."
"Junior sister and him?"
Xian'er was a little surprised: "I didn't expect this fate to be so wonderful."
"kindness."
Hong Qi smiled and said to her: "Have you had breakfast? I'll ask someone to bring you some."
"Brother-in-law, you can eat what you don't need. I can't eat yet."
"Oh, so that's it."
Hong Qi nodded and said: "Let's do this. Your senior sister will wake up later and I'll ask her to take you around the city. There are still many interesting places in this holy city. You should also have a good few days."
"Let's see then."
Xian'er also tried her best to smile. In fact, she didn't have much feelings for Hong Qi. Although the two had been kissing for more than a thousand years, in fact, it was her senior sister who was fooling around and deliberately used her body.
Dear.
Although she didn't hate her senior sister, there was really no relationship between her and Hong Qi. There was even a time when she hated this face because she didn't want to kiss this guy.
But the senior sister controlled her head, but she kissed her face every time. Fortunately, every time her head was controlled, she didn't feel anything, but when she thought about it afterwards, she could think of Hong.
Qi held her head and kissed her, so it felt weird.
The reason why she agreed to be his woman was because she was conservative in her heart. After all, she had been kissed on the head for so many years, who else could she go to.
In addition, the senior sister is also here. If you are with her, you can be considered to be taking care of her. There is no emotion at all. Before, there was only hatred.
…
After bidding farewell to Xian'er, Hong Qi came to the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion.
Several immortal masters were already waiting here. When they saw Hong Qi coming, they immediately reported what they wanted to report.
"So, it seems that the battle was very fierce, and many people were killed or injured..."
After hearing this, Hong Qi was not too surprised. On the contrary, it was as expected.
One of the immortal masters said: "Judging from the situation at more than a dozen sites, these people should have just fought, but they are not fighting to the death. They have restrained themselves a little."
"That's good."
Hong Qi smiled and said: "No matter what, this auction has ended successfully. We will have another year of breathing time, but we can't stop for a moment."
"We have to continue to work on the previous plans in the city, and we have to recruit more people in the city lord's palace..."
In and around the city, dozens of places with signs of fighting were found this morning, and some people were killed or injured, but Hong Qi felt that this was not a big deal.
Compared with such a successful auction, this is not worth mentioning. On the contrary, it is necessary to immediately consolidate the strength of the Holy City Lord's Mansion and prepare for next year's Nanshang Auction.
"kindness."
Several immortal masters all felt that it made sense. One year is really not a long time. For practitioners, it is really short. There are not many things that can be done. If you don't hurry up, it will pass in an instant.
This auction will surely spread throughout the major cities on the Immortal Road within a few days. It will attract more powerful people to come here. The strength of the city lord's palace must be expanded immediately.
"Especially for this law enforcement team, we need to recruit more people and recruit some strong people."
Hong Qi solemnly said to the immortal masters: "I'd like to trouble the immortal masters to supervise this matter personally. The strength of the law enforcement team is still a bit weak now. Several immortal masters think that we can do this.
"
"An immortal master at the level of the Great Demon God will personally teach them the Tao..." Hong Qi said.
"We teach them..."
The expressions of the immortal masters changed slightly. Preaching is a matter of preaching, so it seems inappropriate for them to teach.
Hong Qi smiled and explained: "I know that all the immortal masters have their own family members or successors. They don't simply ask everyone to teach Taoism. They just want to guide these people when they are free."
"If there is a suitable one, you can also be accepted into the bloodline of the immortal master, or you can be accepted as a disciple. If you have good immortal appearance, how about the immortal master can directly accept him as a disciple?" Hong Qi said.
"So good."
This proposal won the hearts of several immortal masters.
If they were asked to teach law enforcement disciples, of course they would not be willing, but if they could choose the seedlings in the city lord's mansion at will, the seedlings they like would be their disciples.
It is reasonable to teach their own disciples, of course they are willing to do this kind of thing.
"Well, since several immortal masters think this proposal is good, let's do it like this."
Hong Qi said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, the Immortal Master can choose the person he likes among all the disciples in the city lord's mansion and accept him as a disciple, or he can adopt his own bloodline."
"After the Immortal Master selects a certain number of people, the Law Enforcement Elder can also select disciples at will. Specifically, how many people can the Immortal Master select, how many people can the Law Enforcement Elder select, and how to select them? I would like to bother several Immortal Masters to discuss it.
, it must not be a problem to come up with an effective, fair and just strategy.”
"Well, we will take care of this."
Several immortal masters felt that this proposal was very good. With so many people recruited in the city lord's mansion, there must be a lot of good talents in the mansion. However, they usually took a fancy to them and it was not easy to take them directly under their own sect.
They are not my disciples, and they are not willing to give guidance. Now, if they can choose people at will and take them into my disciples, I will be more motivated to teach them.
And not only them, but also the law enforcement elders can choose people, which greatly stimulates the vitality in the city lord's mansion.
Also, if this news is released when the City Lord's Mansion recruits people again, more people will want to come to the City Lord's Mansion to take the exam, because it means there is a chance to become a disciple of an immortal master or a disciple of a law enforcement elder.
Although it is only a relatively low ratio, as long as there is a ratio, many people will try it.
…
"Where are the people?"
At noon, a black fog appeared on the island.
Xie Tian's figure appeared here, but to Xie Tian's surprise, Ye Chu was not on the island anymore.
With a wave of his robe, the magic circle on the island was removed, and what fell into his hands were twelve kinds of monsters. But when he saw it, it was not the twelve kinds of monsters he had arranged before.
"Good boy, what a great trick!"
Xie Tian grinned: "I have really underestimated you! You can actually break my Demonic Formation!"
What made him look at Ye Chu with admiration was not that Ye Chu could crack it, but that the speed of the crack was so fast. He could crack it in just five days. He also found twelve similar monsters and transformed his own monster into one.
Luo's formation was resolved.
After breaking through the formation of Mo Luo, Xie Tian was lying on the beach again. It was noon. The temperature on the island had risen a lot, and the temperature on the surface of the sand had also increased a lot.
He waved his right hand, and eleven more men in black robes and masks appeared on the beach, looking exactly like him.
"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, I am very happy to have a fairy soul!"
Eleven men in black robes and masks congratulated him at the same time. Xie Tian sighed without joy or sorrow: "It's just a fairy soul. There is nothing to be too happy about..."
"On the other hand, you have been separated from me for many years, and it's almost time to merge with me." Xie Tian murmured.
"Master, please grant me your permission!"
Eleven people knelt down to him at the same time, lying on the beach, waiting for Xie Tian to merge with them. "Well..."
Xie Tian raised his head and looked at the sky, turned his right hand, and a black light appeared in his palm.
This is a strange divine light. In the divine light, there seems to be a small group of soul shadows. This is the legendary fairy soul.
He got what he wanted in this auction. Although it was not discovered by Hong Qi and his wife, he got the immortal soul as he wished, what he had been looking for all these years.
"Let's get started."
Xie Tian waved his right hand, and the immortal soul flew out. The entire island was instantly surrounded by waves, and seawater surged in from all sides, covering the island.
…
The next night, Ye Chu finally returned to the outside of Nanfeng Holy City.
Before arriving at Nanfeng Holy City, in several small towns in the western suburbs, I heard about the grand auction last night.
Chen Sanliu and the others went to rest first, while Ye Chu went into a tavern alone.
Immediately I heard people chattering here, all discussing the Nanshan auction last night.
Ye Chu scanned the Yuanlings of several of them. These people had seen the auction last night through the light curtain.
"Twelve Immortal Weapons?"
As soon as he heard this result, Ye Chu could only sigh bitterly in his heart. He really suffered at being cheated by that guy Xie Tian.
Maybe I would have a chance to get one or two of them. Even if I did, I would end up being sealed in that damn place and wouldn't even see the auction, let alone any fairy items.
There are also various kinds of magic weapons, more than a hundred, it can be said that basically none of them are not of high quality, they are all high-end goods.
I had been working hard for this auction for more than half a year, but the auction ended and I didn't get a single hair. It was really tragic.
"You bastard Xie Tian, wait until I am in seclusion for a few more years, and when I try my best to reach the fourth and fifth levels, see how I torture you!"
Ye Chu took a sip of strong wine and picked up a piece of barbecue unhappily.
But after a while, Ye Chu's eyes lit up, not because he saw a beauty, but because a guy came to the tavern.
This is a middle-aged man with a beard all over his face. He looks very wild and does not look like a human being.
Ye Chu swept this guy's Yuanling. He was a practitioner of around the ninth level of the Demon God. As soon as he sat down, Ye Chu swept away his Yuanling.
This sweep made Ye Chu feel a lot better. It turned out that this guy happened to be in Nanshang Village last night, and this guy actually had to take a picture of something.
Although this item is not an immortal weapon, and may even be the worst item among the one hundred and twenty items, it at least gives Ye Chu a hope, and he will not be left empty-handed after all.
"It can be regarded as a psychological consolation. It's no wonder you came out so late at night to show off. No wonder I, the young master, are ruthless..."
Ye Chu smiled helplessly. In his eyes, that uncle had no chance, and the treasure must be his.
But I'm not in a hurry now. This uncle is also impatient. He only had to shoot last night, and he came out very nervous tonight.
Moreover, this guy even asked several of his Taoist friends to get the auction item he got. He was simply seeking death.
Ye Chu ate and drank here for a while, and the uncle left after a while. After leaving here, the uncle walked to a pink-scented attic not far away.
This is a loft where female nuns are the mainstay. It was late at night, and there were a few female nuns in relatively cool clothes standing on the roadside, greeting customers on the side of the road. The uncle walked right in.
"Really, no matter what time, this sacred and ancient profession has always existed..."
Ye Chu was also quite helpless. He didn't expect that there was such a store outside the city. No wonder the business was booming this night.
There were a lot of people in the store, at least hundreds of customers were enjoying themselves here. As soon as the uncle came in, he hugged me from left to right, and said with a bad smile, tonight he is going to teach two girls what it means to be a woman.
Nasty talk.
"Talent..."
Ye Chu also sneaked into the Huaixiang Building quietly.
…
Late at night, the city lord's mansion.
In the inner hall, Hong Qi and his wife were about to go to bed, but today, Hong Qi couldn't sleep because of reincarnation. Po'er next to him kicked him: "What are you thinking about? You are so distracted. Which little girl stole your soul...
…”
"How can there be..."
Hong Qi said with a helpless smile: "It's just that the city lord has too many things to do, and I'm so annoying that I can't sleep, so I won't sleep tonight, and you can rest alone."
"Whether you like to sleep or not..."
Po'er rolled her eyes at him and lay down on her own. Hong Qi sighed and came out because he really couldn't sleep.
When he first arrived at the outer hall, he found something strange in the pavilion, and he couldn't help but become vigilant.
"Who's in there!"
Hong Qi reinforced the magic circle outside the pavilion, but found someone inside. After entering, he couldn't help but feel happy.
