Chapter 31 Dark Auction (Part 1)
"One hundred taels of gold, the same price!"
Pointing at the black mask on the table without raising his head, the middle-aged man said indifferently.
Looking at the bland mask, Wu Chi's eyelids couldn't help twitching, "Why, just such a mask costs a hundred taels of gold?"
With a sneer, the middle-aged man raised his head, "Where are you at the Dark Auction? You can't even bear this mere hundred taels of gold, so what qualifications do you have to participate in the auction?"
"Uncle, I'm young, don't lie to me." Wu Chi hummed aggrievedly.
"Since you know to cover your face with a black robe, you should understand the rules of the dark auction house! This mask can block the breath, as long as you wear the mask and black robe, no matter how close you are, you will never be able to recognize your identity The middle-aged man glanced at Wu Chi and continued, "As long as you keep this mask, you don't need to buy it again when you participate in the auction in the future. A hundred taels of gold is already very cheap."
"Okay, okay, I bought it." Taking out the golden ticket from his pocket, Wu Chi grabbed a mask from the table, lowered his head and carefully put it on, and then took off the black cloth covering his head.
Putting on the mask, Wu Chi immediately felt that his aura was blocked. Indeed, as the other party said, as long as he puts on the mask, he doesn't have to worry about being recognized. Even his cultivation is covered up.
Nodding his head, the middle-aged man pointed at the door and said impatiently, "Okay, you can go!"
"Don't, uncle, it's my first time participating in a dark auction, please remind me." Wu Chi didn't leave as promised, but sat down on the stool next to the middle-aged man.
Glancing at Wu Chi, the middle-aged man couldn't help laughing, "The little guy is quite courageous, aren't you afraid of me?"
"Uncle looks like a good guy, so why would you embarrass me." Wu Chi replied indifferently, shaking his head like a rattle.
"Good guy?" With a sneer, the middle-aged man said calmly, "Little guy, I'm from the dark auction house, in other words, I'm from the evil way. Do you think I'm a good guy?"
"Uncle, don't scare me. I'm young. I can't tell what's evil or righteous." Wu Chi said with a smile, "Besides, I'm just a little person with no background. It has nothing to do with me whether I'm evil or not."
Looking at Wu Chi in surprise for a while, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and said, "Ignorant and fearless, little guy, you are lucky, if you want to know anything, just ask."
Feeling refreshed, Wu Chi thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, is there any danger in the dark auction?"
"Don't worry, although this is just a small auction, there are still powerful Daotai masters in charge. No one is allowed to do anything at the auction, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
Daotai powerhouse! His heart trembled slightly, but Wu Chi remained calm on the surface, "Then if someone buys something good at the auction, won't it cause other people to covet it?"
"People's hearts are unpredictable, how can it be absolutely safe?" Sneering and shaking his head, the middle-aged man said lightly, "But there is a mask. After the auction is over, the Taoist powerhouse will create a short period of darkness with a formation. After leaving, the crowd has been completely disrupted, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the identity of the other party. This is also the origin of the name Dark Auction House."
Hearing this, Wu Chi has basically figured it out. During the dark period, as long as you are not stupid, you will move quickly and blend into the crowd. When you regain your sight, the place is full of masked men in black robes, and their breath is cut off. Naturally, it is impossible to recognize anyone. It's the one who got the stuff. The owner of the Dark Auction House is amazing to be able to come up with such a method.
"That's not right, uncle, I heard that people will be sold at the auction! This is a living person, how can I hide it?" Wu Chi asked again with a thought.
"Idiot, wouldn't you also put on a mask and a black robe for the person who sold it?" With an annoyed snort, the middle-aged man couldn't help cursing.
After a wry smile, Wu Chi also understood that he asked a stupid question. Sure enough, if you care about it, you will be chaotic.
However, this is not the point, the point is that the entire auction appears to be impeccable, and it is simply impossible for me to save people. Do I have to pay to buy all the senior brothers and sisters?
This is actually a solution, but the problem is that Wu Chi doesn't have much money at all.
He has only a few hundred taels of gold on him, and they all snatched it from others when he was in Jianying Villa. If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that this amount of gold is not enough.
If he had enough time, he could still find a way to get it, but it took him two days just to find it. The auction will start tomorrow night. Where can he get enough money?
"Little guy, I don't think you look like a rich man! What do you want to buy after putting so much effort into participating in the dark auction?"
"Haha, I can't afford anything, I'm just curious, and I'm here to join in the fun." Wu Chi denied with a smile.
The middle-aged man didn't ask any more questions. This kind of question shouldn't be asked in the first place. He just mentioned it casually, and didn't expect Wu Chi to really answer it.
After thinking about it, the middle-aged man still said, "Little guy, I would like to advise you, don't make any crooked ideas. The rules of the dark auction are not something a little guy like you can challenge."
"Don't worry, uncle, I'm still young, so I won't take any risks." Standing up, Wu Chi cupped his fists at the middle-aged man, "Thank you uncle, I'm leaving."
Looking at Wu Chi's back, the middle-aged man sighed softly.
"The little guy from Tiejianmen? You're still too young! If you're so careless, you'll suffer."
Glancing at the golden ticket on the table, the middle-aged man took out some gold from his body and put it on the table, then put away the golden ticket, "This time someone broke the rules for the sake of carrying the shadow sword, I will help you, It's not too much...good luck, little guy."
.........
"I've already checked, no one is using those golden tickets, Mr. Luo, are you sure the clues you gave me are all right?"
Wearing a black mask, the young man spoke slowly.
Frowning slightly, Luo Kun shook his head and said, "Impossible, all the golden tickets I gave out were marked! He is just a poor boy, and if he wants to participate in the dark auction, he can only take out these golden tickets."
Regardless of whether it was the golden ticket that Luo Kun gave to Wu Chi, or the golden ticket that Wu Chi snatched from someone else, Luo Kun marked it, making it easy to identify.
"I don't listen to your reasons, and here's the result! Tomorrow is the time for the auction to start. My people have checked carefully, and no one has used those golden tickets." Not caring about Luo Kun's reaction, the masked The young man said lightly, "I'm helping you because of the Divine Sword Bearing Shadow. If he doesn't show up at the auction this time, Luo Shao will probably give me an explanation."
"Don't worry, Wu Chi's ability to come back from Kunlun shows that he has a deep affection for Tiejianmen! Now that old man Li is dead, it is impossible for him not to care about the lives of these senior brothers and sisters." Luo Kun said confidently, "I You care more about this matter than you, you should know."
The young man was very clear about the matter of Sword Shadow Villa, and he naturally understood that only by killing Wu Chi can this matter be turned into a death case. Luo Kun really wanted to kill Wu Chi more than anyone else.
Nodding, the masked young man stopped talking, "As long as he dares to show up at the auction, he will definitely die! I will keep an eye on the buyers who bought those people, and I will not let him have any loopholes to take advantage of." of."
After a pause, the masked young man continued, "However, this incident is considered to have broken the rules of the auction house, and I took the risk! If he doesn't come by then, I will break the rules for no reason. It's up to you."
"good!"
These words contained a great threat, but now Luo Kun was begging the other party, so naturally there was no room for bargaining, so he could only nod in agreement.
"In that case, let's see you at the auction." Nodding in satisfaction, the masked young man slowly got up and walked out, "Young Master Luo doesn't need to give it away."
Where is Luo Kun's identity? He is not afraid of Luo Kun's refusal! Even Tianshan disciples don't have the guts to rely on the dark auction house.
.......
Wu Chi thought a lot, but still didn't have a clue.
He knew that the Dark Auction would be held tomorrow night, but even the address of the auction would not be notified with a letter until tomorrow evening, let alone find the Dark Auction in advance.
What's more, even if he finds it, can he still snatch someone from the Taoist powerhouse?
Luo Kun's move was too ruthless, there was no loophole to take advantage of, and it was obvious that he was forcing himself to his death. And he was sure that he would go to die.
I just got a lot of news from the middle-aged man, but unfortunately I still couldn't find a way.
Thinking of the middle-aged man's advice, Wu Chi sighed. Perhaps the middle-aged man had already noticed something, but he couldn't care about it now.
Maybe letting go is the best way?
Thinking of what Master said before he died, telling him not to take revenge blindly, Wu Chi couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
Master may have guessed the result, right?
Giving up for the time being, finding a way to worship Kunlun first, and then looking for opportunities to take revenge after the cultivation base has improved in the future, may be the safest and most sure way.
However, Wu Chi really couldn't do it.
In order to protect himself, the senior brothers and sisters in the door refused to give in despite all the tortures. What reason could I have to watch them sink into the sea of suffering with peace of mind and leave safely?
At this moment, Wu Chi really understood Zhou Boyan's mood in Jianying Villa.
At that time, I was angry and cursed, but when things fell on me, what was the difference between me and her?
stupid?
Looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Wu Chi's thoughts fell on Zhou Boyan involuntarily.
I naturally recalled what Zhou Boyan had said in my mind.
"However, there are always some things in this world that are more important than life!"
"Zhou Xiaoniu, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
My heart ached, but Wu Chi still didn't look back.
At night, the darkness is a bit scary!
