Chapter 317 Lie to a fool【Ask for a monthly pass! 】
Huangyang Mountain.
In a village at the foot of the mountain, several village women are washing clothes by the river, scrubbing them clean in the slow water, and then putting them on the stone pier by the river to squeeze the water.
Three- and five-year-old children are running and frolicking behind, a scene of leisure.
This small river flows down from the top of the mountain. The water surface is as clear as a mirror, and the scales of swimming fish in the water can be seen clearly.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a peasant woman made a sound of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Several people next to him looked over.
"Look at the water..." The peasant woman pointed her finger at the river, and several people turned their heads to look sideways, and immediately realized something was wrong.
It turned out that the river water began to glow with a faint red gold, forming a misty cloud, just like the feeling of ink dissolving in water. But that color is obviously not ink, but like... blood?
And it is mixed with golden blood!
There was more and more red-gold blood, and soon the entire river was turned into blood! Moreover, white bones began to appear in the water, which looked very scary!
"ah-"
Two peasant women were so frightened that they backed up a few steps and fell to the ground, while the other quickly ran back with the crying child! In the process of fleeing, the sky began to be dyed fiery red, and the birds in the mountains and forests flew into the distant sky.
When they ran back to the entrance of the village, there was even a roaring sound from the mountain, which seemed to be mixed with the roar of some birds and beasts!
"Village chief! Village chief!" They shouted loudly and came to the village, only to find that a large group of people had already gathered in front of the ancestral hall.
"What are you panicking about?" The old village head leaned on a cane and said suddenly, "Don't be afraid! Hold on tight!"
"There are monsters in Huangyang Mountain!" A child shouted in fear.
"Don't talk nonsense, that's not a monster!" The old village chief quickly stopped him: "That's the divine beast from Huangyang Mountain awakened!"
"Huh?" The younger people all looked surprised, while the older ones were not surprised, but slightly excited.
There are indeed legends about ancient mythical beasts in the village.
It is said that a divine phoenix and an argali were married here thousands of years ago and gave birth to a deformed phoenix sheep.
The Phoenix Clan is an ancient mythical beast of the same level as the Dragon Clan, but the world often hears about the Dragon Clan, but not the Phoenix Clan. That's because the dragon race has the largest number of beasts at the same level, and they love to breed with various races.
The Phoenix race can be said to be the exact opposite. They are not only rare in number, but also very resistant to combining with other races. The birth of this phoenix sheep was completely a beautiful mistake.
Although the argali is also a monster among argali, it is incomparable to the divine phoenix after all, because too much spirituality was absorbed by the fetus, and it died the moment the child was born. However, Shenhuang did not recognize this alien species, and left it long before it was born.
The newborn little phoenix sheep was left unattended for seven days in the mountains, and almost died of freezing and starvation. In the end, kind villagers at the bottom of the mountain found it. At first they thought it was just a rather beautiful lamb, and took it home to feed it.
Unexpectedly, after raising it, the sheep grew wings.
The villagers at that time were stunned, thinking that they had raised a monster, and wanted to beat it to death. It was the owner who picked up the little phoenix sheep, because they already had a deep relationship, so they desperately protected it.
The owner drove it back to the mountain, telling it to run away and never come back.
Until one day a few years later, there was a wave of monsters sweeping the area, several powerful monsters attacked the village, and the people in the village were about to be killed.
At this time, the little phoenix sheep was born out of the sky. At this time, it had grown into a powerful spirit beast by virtue of its blood. With one enemy and many enemies, it protected the village after a fierce battle.
The crowd gathered the phoenix sheep together, only to realize that although it has been hunting and living in the mountains for the past few years, it has never traveled far, and has been silently watching the village.
In the following years, it has been living on the mountain over there, and the high mountain was renamed "Huangyang Mountain" because of this.
The younger people in the village were dumbfounded. Of course they knew the legend of the phoenix sheep guarding the village, but they would still be shocked when they saw the legend come true!
"The divine beast Huangyang has been sleeping in the secret realm for the past thousand years. It only wakes up every thirty years, and then falls asleep again after a short waking up." The old village chief said slowly: "Zhuzi, go outside the city. The Taoist temple, tell the Taoist priest inside, and say that Huangyang is awake!"
…
"The next treasure is the Tuanlong sapphire fan from the overseas Fuyao country! This is a unique craftsmanship of the Fuyao country. When you fan it gently, there is a breeze and a fragrance, which can attract butterflies to dance; The breath of the dragon is gushing, and the strong wind can destroy steel and iron! The starting price is 1,000 Suzaku coins! Increase the price by 50 Suzaku coins at a time."
The best treasures of an auction will naturally be reserved for the finale, the second-class treasures will be ranked in the front, and will be popular at the beginning, while the middle ones will be relatively mediocre.
After the first few treasures passed, the atmosphere in the hall also dropped.
Like this tuanlong sapphire fan, it looks exquisite and miraculous, but judging by the effect he demonstrated, it is just an ordinary magic weapon with array patterns. The starting price of this thing is one thousand Suzaku coins, at least half of the premium. It may be because the lowest price in this auction is 1,000 Suzaku coins, and if it is lower, it is not worthy of being on stage.
Even if you bite the bullet and fail the shot, you can't lower the style of the scene.
Of course, it is also possible that there are a few fools in the inspection hall.
After a short pause, about eight or nine people raised the wooden signs.
Hmm... There are less than ten idiots out of thousands of people, and this ratio is not bad.
Chu Liang watched coldly, while Wen Yulong was filled with righteous indignation.
"I've seen this thing before, and if I refine it, the estimated cost will not exceed three hundred sword coins." He said angrily, "Selling such a high price is simply stealing money."
"Such a big auction is held once a month. It is difficult for all of them to be extremely valuable treasures. It is not surprising that two parallel imports got mixed in." The old **** Chu Liang said on the ground, "The straw is tied on the crab Naturally, it will be sold at the price of crabs, and it is normal to have a premium."
Finally, the dough dragon green jade fan was photographed by a young man with a low level of self-cultivation and two attendants by his side. It seems that it is a silly second generation of some small fairy sect, and it is probably a long-term experience to come here.
Choose a delicate and precious magic weapon, and you can show it off to your brothers and sisters when you go back.
"Hey, the next treasure will be interesting." The shopkeeper on the stage smiled mysteriously, the two previous maids stepped off the stage, and immediately a new maid came up with a tray.
He first lifted the tray in the hands of the first maid, on which were placed four pills of different colors.
"Next, let's invite some fellow Taoists to come to the stage to taste these pills. Is there anyone willing to try?" asked the shopkeeper mysteriously.
Xianyuan Pavilion is a large store, and the practitioners below are naturally not worried that the store will poison it. Immediately, some practitioners who wanted to join in the fun raised their hands and were called to the stage by the shopkeeper.
"Come on, fellow Taoist, have a taste of this elixir." The shopkeeper handed over one, and the cultivator readily swallowed it.
"Huh?" He frowned slightly after swallowing the elixir.
"Have you figured out what kind of elixir this is?" asked the shopkeeper.
"Looks like it's just an ordinary Gathering Pill?" The practitioner replied.
"What's so special about it?" the shopkeeper asked again.
"It tastes very good...it seems like apple flavor? After eating, there is a fresh and sweet smell reverberating. The strange thing is that it is very delicious." The practitioner replied honestly.
"Not bad!" The shopkeeper laughed, and another practitioner called to the stage, and handed over a Concentrating God Pill.
This Jushen Dan is green orange flavored, sweet and sour.
There are four elixirs in total, with four flavors.
After being tried for a round, he said with a smile: "This time the elixir comes from a magical alchemist in the city, and all the elixirs he refines can be added with magical fruit flavors! Some of you may also understand that now the city is gathering The price of the magic pill has soared."
He opened the tray at the back, and on it were four gourd-shaped storage instruments.
"Here are four gourds with different flavors of Gathering God Pills. The total is 1,000 pieces, and the starting price is 1,000 Suzaku coins! 50 Suzaku coins plus one price!" He said loudly.
As soon as this treasure was introduced, everyone in the audience laughed.
For these practitioners, this unique taste is novel and useless, but it is indeed quite interesting.
It's just that even if the price of the Jushen Pill in Taotie City is increased, it is impossible to increase it to one Suzaku coin. For a thousand pieces, there must be a premium of at least 300 Suzaku coins, and this is only the starting price.
So there are many people who find it interesting, but very few people really intend to raise their placards. After all, no one's money comes from the strong wind, and anyone who throws a few hundred dollars at random will feel distressed.
You must know that just over half a year ago, Chu Liang, who was a cultivator of the divine artistic conception at that time, was worried about three hundred sword coins! Normally, it would take him several months to earn it.
Maybe only some rich buddies who are really not short of money can try it out of fun.
Even Wen Yulong couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know how that alchemist researched it. How could someone buy Jushen Pill at a higher price for the sake of taste? This is even more outrageous than the one just now. On the bright side, even a fool wouldn't be fooled, right?"
Immediately, Chu Liang next to him raised the wooden sign and said loudly: "Two thousand Suzaku coins!"
