Chapter 658 What Is There to Be Afraid Of?
Luxia Town is relatively prosperous because there are two large black gold mines and black iron mines, and both black gold and black iron mines are medium-level weapon refining resources.
There are two major immortal cultivating families in Luxia Town, one is the Lin family and the other is the Chen family. Not only are these two major cultivating immortal families backed by large sects of immortal cultivators, they also have one or two golden immortals in their own families. Ancestor, as for the number of immortal cultivators below the Golden Immortal realm, there are even more.
Due to various reasons, the Wujin Mine and the Xuantie Mine are owned by the Lin family and the Chen family, but each family is responsible for the two mines for a month. For example, this month the Wujin Mine is managed by the Lin family, and the Chen family is responsible for it. The Lixuan Iron Mine will be managed by the Chen family next month, and the Wujin Mine will be managed by the Chen family, and the Xuan Iron Mine will be managed by the Lin family.
Gu Zheng's so-called desire to understand the local customs and customs is actually to understand the power of immortal cultivators. These are also some of the best things to know every time you go to a strange place.
After listening to the stories of Lao Huang and the young man, Gu Zheng spoke again: "I just heard the two of you talking about the auction. What is this auction about?"
Gu Zheng also found it interesting. He had just participated in the auction at Qingfengguan some time ago, but he did not expect to encounter the upcoming auction in Luxia Town. However, according to Qi Ling, auctions were a normal thing in ancient times. After all, some people wanted to sell resources, and some also wanted to buy resources, so the auctions were born.
"The auction in our town in Luxia is held once a year. The Lin family and the Chen family take turns to hold it. At first, the auction was just to sell things produced in the Wujin mine and Xuantie mine. Later, it became larger and more things were added. There are more and more, until now we have everything from elixirs to immortal herbs to magical weapons." Lao Huang said.
Black gold ore and black iron ore have different qualities. Good black gold and black iron are worth more than high-quality ingredients. What's more, there are five or six kinds of associated minerals in black iron ore and black gold mine, and the value of these associated minerals is almost all higher than that of black gold and black iron.
"Are there any qualifications required to participate in this auction?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Of course only immortal cultivators can participate in this kind of auction. Mortals like us just enjoy the excitement."
The pot of Yunxia Brewing had been drunk at this time, and the young man, who was a bit talkative, had already regarded Gu Zheng as an ordinary person. After all, in the eyes of mortals like them, immortal cultivators are unattainable existences, even if they need to There is no need to buy them a drink when asking questions.
"Hehe, let me tell you!"
Lao Huang was also tongue-tied at this time, and he smiled mysteriously at Gu Zheng: "A funny thing happened when the Chen family held an auction the year before last. Many people were vying for a treasure, and that one The baby was also sold at a very high price, but when the Chen family brought When the baby went to the buyer to collect the money, he found that the buyer had disappeared without knowing it, as if he had evaporated. This incident really made people laugh for a long time after dinner. People in the town said that the Chen family had a deer-headed rat-headed man. The old man was fooled."
Normally, something like this would not happen at an auction, but once something like this happened, the organizer would definitely be embarrassed. It was undoubtedly being tricked.
"Hehe, I told you..."
Lao Huang wanted to tell Gu Zheng something again, but he was lightly touched by the young man next to him with his arm. When he saw the man behind him, his face turned green with fright. He saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in red standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Say it! Why don't you continue talking? How brave are you! How dare you chew my Chen family's tongue?"
After the girl finished speaking, she threw out a handkerchief. The handkerchief grew in the wind and wrapped Lao Huang into a silkworm chrysalis, shrinking rapidly.
"ah……"
Lao Huang, who was wrapped in the immortal weapon, screamed.
"Miss Seventeen, have mercy on me!" Old Huang in the Immortal Weapon said weakly.
"Spare you? If you forgive me, won't anyone dare to talk nonsense? So you'd better die!"
The girl's eyes flashed fiercely, and she tried to make the fairy weapon tighten again.
However, the immortal weapon did not tighten as expected. On the contrary, it loosened uncontrollably. The girl's cold eyes flashed and she turned to look at Gu Zheng who was still tasting the egg fried rice.
"You are so brave!"
"I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you still dare to interfere with this old man's affairs?"
The girl was not alone. She was accompanied by two immortal cultivators in the late stages of divine transformation. At this time, the two immortal cultivators who also felt the fluctuations of the immortal power began to scold Gu Zheng.
"Because what he said was told to me, it is naturally none of my business. The punishment has been met. I hope this matter ends here."
Gu Zheng finished the last grain of rice in the bowl, put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the frowning three people and said: "The egg fried rice in Piaoxianglou is not bad. If you three want to eat, I can treat you."
"I eat you..."
The yellow-haired immortal cultivator among the two immortal cultivators wanted to scold Gu Zheng, but his open mouth was speechless because a chicken drumstick was stuffed in his mouth.
"If you want to eat, just tell me. It's not like I won't give it to you, so why are you so anxious?"
In the widened eyes of others, the yellow-haired immortal cultivator with a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth was pinned down on the table by Gu Zheng like a puppet.
"Eat, eat well!"
Gu Zheng's expression was calm, he held down the drumstick and stuffed it into the mouth of the yellow-haired immortal cultivator.
A chicken drumstick, which had not been chewed at all, was stuffed into the mouth of the yellow-haired immortal cultivator by Gu Zhengsheng. He choked until the yellow-haired immortal cultivator's eyes widened and his neck was so thick with the chicken drumstick. .
"I'm a very talkative person, but the first thing is you don't provoke me!"
Gu Zheng's voice was still calm, and the yellow-haired immortal cultivator he let go also regained his mobility. He held the table and pulled out the chicken legs from his mouth.
"you……"
The girl in red looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. She opened her mouth to say something to Gu Zheng, but was stopped by another white-haired immortal cultivator beside her.
"Senior, isn't it too much for you to do this?"
It can make an immortal cultivator in the realm of gods unable to fight back. The other party's realm is naturally much higher than theirs. If they were not stipends from the Chen family, then such a thing would happen, and the white-haired immortal cultivator would never dare to do it again. Talk to Gu Zheng like this. But similarly, since he received his salary from the Chen family, the backer behind him was naturally the Chen family.
"Excessive? Don't you think you are going too far?"
Gu Zheng smiled coldly, and then said: "Let's forget about this matter. Don't bother them two in the future! If you insist on holding on to this matter, then I will not let go of it. ! Also let me tell you, I live in the Piaomiao Inn, my surname is Bai, just come and see me if you need anything!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he came to the unconscious Lao Huang and stuffed a healing elixir into his mouth.
"Okay, since senior has left his last name, let's meet again later!"
Before leaving, the white-haired immortal cultivator fearfully said something that could save some face. He was really afraid that Gu Zheng would not let them leave because of this. Fortunately, Gu Zheng just smiled indifferently and let them leave.
"Aren't you two too cowardly?"
It wasn't until they were far away that the girl in red complained, and what she said was clearly heard by Gu Zheng.
"My aunt!"
The white-haired immortal cultivator hurriedly spoke out, and then came the sound transmission from his spiritual mind.
Although he didn't hear what the white-haired old man said through his spiritual voice, Gu Zheng could guess that the white-bearded old man was telling the girl in red about his terror.
at the same time.
Old Chen, who was seriously injured and in a coma, woke up and said, "Shangxian, you have to save us!"
Unlike the young man who had been frightened out of his wits, Lao Chen immediately knelt down to Gu Zheng as soon as he woke up.
"Don't worry, since the matter is related to me, I won't ignore you!"
Gu Zheng gave a gentle push, and Lao Huang, who was about to kneel down, stood up.
With the magical power flowing from his fingertips, Gu Zheng placed restrictions on both Old Chen and the young man. If someone from the Chen family caused trouble for the two of them, Gu Zheng would know immediately. Moreover, Gu Zheng also felt that as the overlord of one party, the Chen family should not just let this matter go! In this case, let's wait until their people come to the door and solve the trouble together.
Finally, Gu Zheng gave the young man and Lao Huang some money and asked them to go back and live peacefully. If anything happened, they could go to Piao Miao Inn to find him in a short time.
After Lao Chen and the young man left, Gu Zheng did not stay at Piaoxiang Building for more, and when he left, all the diners watched him off. Although these diners would avoid looking at Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng also understood that most of them thought that it would only be a matter of time before they provoked the Chen family.
After leaving Piaoxiang Tower, Gu Zheng returned to Piaomiao Inn to practice behind closed doors.
at the same time.
In the hall of the Chen Mansion, a middle-aged man with a fair face had also finished listening to what the girl in red had to say.
"Is that all what Ling'er said?"
The middle-aged man looked at the two immortal cultivators following the girl in red, Linger.
"Third uncle, don't you still trust me?"
Chen Ling looked at the middle-aged man Chen Shucheng aggrievedly.
"You are the little bully of Luxia Town. Someone dares to bully you. This is a new thing. Of course, Third Uncle needs to know the details!"
Chen Shucheng pinched Chen Ling's nose lovingly.
The Chen family is a family of immortal cultivators. Chen Shucheng's cultivation is in the middle stage of spiritual transformation. According to the rules of the Chen family, after his cultivation reaches the realm of returning to the void, he will resign from his position in the world and concentrate on cultivating on the mountaintop of the Chen family. Therefore, the current head of the Chen family is Chen Shucheng. As for those cultivators with higher levels of cultivation, they have already resigned from their secular positions. If there is no big deal, they will not leave the mountain easily.
Chen Shucheng has three brothers. Chen Ling is his eldest brother's youngest daughter. She is the seventeenth among the three brothers' daughters and she usually receives the most pampering.
There are two reasons why Chen Ling is favored. One is that she has good talent. At only fifteen years old, she is already in the early stage of Qi transformation. Another important point is that when Chen Ling was less than one year old, Chen Shucheng's eldest brother went out to work for the ancestor of the Chen family, and something unexpected happened. The ancestor of the Chen family also doted on Chen Ling very much.
In a family, when the pillar of the family loves one person the most, it would be strange if she is not loved! She has good talents and is loved by thousands of people. Chen Ling is very arrogant and domineering, and she is also a famous little bully in Luxia Town.
"Master, everything Miss Ling'er says is true," the white-haired immortal cultivator replied.
"To be able to restrain Tian Chun so easily, the cultivation level of this man named Bai should be at least in the middle to late stage of Returning to the Void. It's a pity that you didn't have the guts to attack him and failed to see his true cultivation level!"
Chen Shucheng's mocking eyes swept across the faces of the white-haired old man and Tian Chun. Their expressions changed, but neither of them dared to say anything.
"Ling'er, what happened? Why did I hear that you were bullied?"
A rough voice sounded, and a middle-aged man with a rough appearance entered the hall in a hurry.
"Second uncle!"
Chen Ling's eyes turned red and she immediately told her second uncle Chen Tiecheng what happened.
"Asshole, I really scared him, and he actually bullied our Chen family!"
Chen Tiecheng flew into a rage and punched the chair's auxiliary arm into pieces.
"Second brother!"
Chen Wencheng shouted angrily.
"Okay, stop lecturing me, just tell me what to do about this matter!"
Before Chen Wencheng could speak again, Chen Tiecheng was already urging him impatiently.
"Why!"
Chen Wencheng sighed, his second brother, who was reckless by nature, had a headache.
"Ling'er has been bullied. Naturally, we can't just let this matter go. Let a few people go over first to find out the truth about the person named Bai." Chen Wencheng said.
"I'll go too!" Chen Tiecheng said.
"Second brother!"
Chen Wencheng shouted complainingly.
"You are one of the powerful people of the Chen family, and you represent the Chen family. What happened to you in the past? If this person named Bai is very tough, how will this matter end?" Chen Wencheng said.
"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go. What are you talking about?"
Chen Tiecheng glared at Chen Wencheng and left the hall with a puff of sleeves.
"You go and notify Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu and ask them to come over." Chen Wencheng said.
"yes!"
The white-haired old man and Tian Chun took the order and left.
After a while, two old men with bright eyes walked out of Chen's house. They were Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu.
"The second in charge?"
When Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu were approaching the Piaomiao Inn, Chen Tiecheng, who had been waiting for them, walked out from the corner of the street.
"Hmph, my third brother won't let me go, do you think there's nothing I can do? Don't tell me my identity later, I want to see what the bastard who bullied Ling'er is capable of!" Chen Tiecheng shouted angrily.
"Second boss, isn't this bad?" Shen Zhiping smiled bitterly.
"Second Master, if you really want to go with us, no matter what happens, you have to take care of it for us!"
Shang Qingqiu knew Chen Tiecheng, and if he was not allowed to go with him, he would definitely offend him, and life in the Chen family would definitely be difficult. Instead of rejecting him, it would be better to say it openly.
"Don't worry, I, Chen Er, will take care of anything for you!" Chen Tiecheng slapped his chest loudly.
The three of them set out on the road, but Shen Zhiping and Shang Qingqiu, who were walking behind, looked at Chen Tiecheng's back with a trace of ridicule on their lips. In their opinion, Chen Tiecheng was lucky to be born into the Chen family, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to become an immortal cultivator with his qualifications, and he would have been beaten to death because of his reckless personality.
"What are you doing?"
In the Piaomiao Inn, the shopkeeper stopped Chen Tiecheng and the others.
"Find someone!"
Chen Tiecheng said coldly, the Chen family and the Lin family were not dealing with each other.
"You can find someone, but you should also know the rules of the Piaomiao Inn. Don't make trouble here!"
The shopkeeper's cultivation was not high, but he still looked at Chen Tiecheng and the others with cold eyes. After all, he was also a member of the Lin family, so there was no need to be afraid of the Chen family.
"You don't need to say more!"
Chen Tiecheng sneered and took people upstairs.
"Are you here to find me?"
Gu Zheng appeared at the top of the stairs at this time.
"Are you the one named Bai?"
Chen Tiecheng squinted his eyes and looked up and down a lot.
"Yes, it's me. Who are you from the Chen family?" Gu Zheng said calmly.
"I'm just a guest of the Chen family..."
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Before Chen Tiecheng finished speaking, the innkeeper let out a melodious laugh. But when Chen Tiecheng glared, he didn't look at Chen Tiecheng at all. He just swept the counter with a feather duster and murmured: "I thought I was fooled." Is it enough to just apply a layer of dust? I’ll sweep it!”
"What do you want to do with me?"
Gu Zheng smiled. With his arms folded, he had already guessed the general identity of the person in front of him from the shopkeeper's murmur.
"Of course I have something to talk to you about. Do you dare to go out with us?" Chen Tiecheng sneered.
"Dare, why don't you dare?"
Gu Zheng walked down the stairs with a smile and walked out of the inn first.
Not flying in the city is a sign of respect for a place. The four Guzheng people who were speechless all the way flew out of the city in Luxia Town and flew into the sky.
Luxia Town is mountainous, so Gu Zheng found a hilltop and stopped after flying for a long time, waiting for the three people behind him.
Gu Zheng already knew the cultivation of the three of them. At this time, he was still crossing his arms, praying for them in his heart that they would not be unhappy.
Chen Tiecheng's cultivation level is only in the early stage of Qi transformation. According to common sense, such cultivation level is still unable to fly in the air. Even if he can fly in the air, the flying time is very short. However, the Chen family is rich and powerful, and Chen Tiecheng's cultivation level is equipped with a high-level fairy weapon flying sword, but the flying sword has a spirit. Although his cultivation level recognizes the flying sword as its master, he cannot control it well. So much so that the trajectory looked a bit ridiculous when flying in the air, just like a man riding a disobedient horse.
The flight was a little unstable, which made Chen Tiechen feel very embarrassed. At this moment, seeing the sarcasm on Gu Zheng's lips, he became even more angry.
"Damn, I made you laugh!"
Chen Tiecheng cursed in his heart, and at the same time activated the magical power of the fairy sword against Gu Zheng.
I saw sword-shaped shadows falling from the sky one after another, and the large number could be called sword rain.
Before they could say anything, Chen Tiecheng, the reckless man, had already launched an attack, which even surprised Shang Qingqiu, who thought he knew him.
However, Chen Tiecheng had already made a move, and it would be unreasonable for Shang Qingqiu not to make a move, so he waved his sleeves and mobilized the energy of heaven and earth to restrict Gu Zheng's actions.
Almost immediately after Shang Qingqiu waved his sleeves, Shen Zhiping also made a move. The tiger talisman he raised his hand and sacrificed turned into a golden tiger that was five meters long and pounced on Gu Zhenghu on the ground.
