Chapter 303 The Unlucky Feng Xiaotian and Three People
After the academic exchange conference, Ning Tianchen was also happy to relax.
These days, apart from playing with Ning Rongrong, he spends most of his time in the back mountain practicing.
Now, he not only needs to try to cultivate the sword heart, but also needs to cultivate the soul of the martial soul beast, and his daily training time is very tight. Of course, in his spare time, he will also practice the Seven Kills and God of Death fields.
At the same time, in the back mountain of the former Shrek Academy, after Yu Xiaogang was brought back to the wooden house by Liu Erlong, he became depressed, did not think about food and drinks, and stared at the ceiling of the wooden house all day long, not knowing what he was thinking about. .
Liu Erlong understood that this was a big blow to him, but Yu Xiaogang's depravity made her feel even more guilty.
“Why am I so stupid, knowing that this is a trap, but I still take Xiaogang to jump in”
With Yu Xiaogang’s age and cultivation level, he has encountered major changes in his life. The whole person's energy and energy were instantly wiped out, and his head turned gray almost overnight.
On this day, Liu Erlong delivered food to Yu Xiaogang as usual.
Today, Yu Xiaogang has become sallow and thin, even to the point of being skinny and bones. If this continues, he will pass away in a few days.
Before Liu Erlong could speak to comfort him, the messenger's voice came from outside the door, "Is this Liu Erlong's house? I have your letter. I put it under the stone at the door. Remember to take it."
The messenger didn't stay long. Seeing signs of human life in the house, he placed the letter in a conspicuous place, turned around and left quickly.
Normal people don’t live on the mountains in the city. Who knows what kind of weirdos live here, so it’s better to be careful.
As soon as the messenger left, Liu Erlong walked out of the wooden house and took away the letter.
The letter was not signed. After Liu Erlong opened it, he read the contents.
In the letter, Liu Erlong was called Master, and Yu Xiaogang was called Master. Moreover, regardless of the tone of voice or handwriting, Liu Erlong was very sure that this was a letter sent by Tang San.
As Yu Xiaogang's most proud disciple, Tang San is also the latter's pride.
Liu Erlong carefully sent the letter to Yu Xiaogang, hoping to untie Yu Xiaogang's knot.
"Xiaogang, this is the letter sent back by Xiaosan, please read it quickly."
Hearing Tang San's name, Yu Xiaogang, who had already been numb, felt slightly touched on his face. But he didn't make any move, or in other words, he was so hungry that he had no strength.
Seeing this, Liu Erlong read out the contents of the letter for him.
In the letter, Tang San expressed that he already knew what happened to Yu Xiaogang. Moreover, he was at the scene that day and saw with his own eyes that the Qibao Glazed Sect united many scholars to set up a trap for Yu Xiaogang.
Due to his current special situation, he cannot appear in public for the time being, so he can only express his concern to Yu Xiaogang through letters.
In addition, through this period of training, Tang San was able to temporarily suppress the drawbacks of his twin martial spirits. Moreover, his strength has improved greatly. If there is an opportunity in the future, he will definitely clear up Yu Xiaogang's name and expose the ugly faces of the Qibao Glazed Sect and other great scholars.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face showed a long-lost smile, and he said in a whisper: "Erlong, feed me quickly. Xiaosan, Xiaosan will prove my theory. I must Live!”
Liu Erlong cried with joy.
At least Yu Xiaogang has regained hope in life, and they can live a good life in the future.
......
In the afternoon, Prince Xue Qinghe sent an official from the Prince's Mansion to send an invitation to Ning Tianchen.
Ning Rongrong happened to be staying with him at this time, "Brother Tianchen, you can go. Rongrong has schoolwork later, so I won't join in the fun."
Compared to the original time and space, Ning Rongrong now seems unwilling to take over the sect's burden. In her heart, as long as Ning Tianchen is here, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
Ning Tianchen said dotingly: "I'm going to check on the situation first, but I think I might be busy until very late today. Rongrong, you can eat first later."
Explain After that, he quickly followed the official to the Prince's Mansion without stopping.
Arrived in front of the Prince's Mansion, Xue Qinghe has been waiting here for a long time.
“Tianchen, you came just in time.”
Ning Tianchen glanced at the carriage parked at the door and couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going, Brother Xue?"
"Yue Xuan." After saying that, he greeted the other party to enter the carriage.
In the carriage, Xue Qinghe said: "Today is Yuexuan's graduation ceremony, and the imperial sister invites Gu to come and attend."
"Today, we happened to be in contact with Tang San, hoping to learn from him Tell me something."
Ning Tianchen shook his head, "It's useless."
Tang San had never been involved in anything related to the Haotian Sect, so asking too many questions about him would inevitably alert the enemy.
Furthermore, the Haotian Sect is like a mouse hiding in the dark. They have not organized any actions.
Xue Qinghe explained: "You can't tell anyone about this matter. Recently, news came from the palace that the woman was crazy and sent many people to find the hidden place of Haotian Sect. I remember you once said that the Haotian Sect's headquarters should be more than 200 miles away from Tiandou City. "But, after searching for a long time, I still haven't found anything."
Ning Tianchen accidentally mentioned this sentence when he was talking about the experiences of Hot team.
What he didn't expect was that Bibi Dong would actually take action against the Haotian Sect.
It’s right to think about it. The Qibao Glazed Sect is now at its peak, and it has the influence brought by the academic exchange conference. As long as Bibi Dong is not crazy enough to lose his mind, he will definitely not attack the Qibao Glazed Sect.
And she seemed unwilling to give up the soul hunting operation. If she only dealt with the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, such a sophisticated deployment would seem a bit wasteful.
Ning Tianchen speculated that she most likely wanted to kill off the two top three sects, leaving the remaining top three sects alone, and use this to launch her plan to unify the continent.
Ning Tianchen only knew that Haotian Sect was in a certain general position, and he did not know the specific situation.
"Brother Xue, it's better not to alert the snake. Follow the location I mentioned and look for any mountains or cliffs nearby. I once visited a hidden sect and thought that the location chosen by the Haotian Sect should be consistent with theirs. Almost."
Xue Qinghe thought for a moment and felt that what he said was reasonable, so he opened the car curtain and whispered a few words to the people outside the car window.
The following trip to Yuexuan did not cause any waves.
Tang San still concealed his identity, while Xue Qinghe and Ning Tianchen accompanied him in the performance.
At this banquet, Xue Qinghe brought Ning Tianchen to meet several important officials in the court. Most of these people have taken refuge in Wuhun Palace. To Xue Qinghe, these are his own people.
If there is an emergency in the future, Ning Tianchen can also seek their help.
......
Yue Xuan's graduation ceremony was over, Tang San didn't stay long, turned around and left here.
Xue Qinghe wanted to send people to catch up, but was stopped by Ning Tianchen, "No need, his anti-tracking awareness is very strong, your people will be easily exposed. Moreover, he may not go to Haotian on this trip. Zong.”
According to the original development of time and space, Tang San’s trip was to a waterfall outside the Star Dou Forest to meet Tang Hao. After that, he returned to Haotian Sect through Tang Yuehua with Tang Hao's instructions.
Therefore, following Tang San next would not only be meaningless, but would also alert the enemy.
Ning Tianchen did not say these words clearly, but as an ally, Xue Qinghe instinctively chose to believe him.
After leaving Yuexuan, Ning Tianchen did not choose to take Xue Qinghe's carriage. On the way back, he accidentally bumped into brother and sister Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, sitting in front of the wine shop drinking in embarrassment.
Out of curiosity and missing Feng Xiaotian, he stepped forward and said hello, "Why are you three so embarrassed? Are you being bullied?"
Huo Wu, who was irritated when he heard the sound, couldn't help but cursed, "Who the hell is talking behind your back!"
When she stood up, she said in surprise: "Ning Tianchen?"
Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian stood up at the same time, "Long time no see."
Ning Tianchen didn't care about Huo Wu's recklessness. , patted everyone on the shoulder, motioned for the other person to sit down, and greeted: "Waiter, bring out your best wine."
When the waiter saw the big man, he quickly greeted him in a good voice. come over.
After serving the wine, Ning Tianchen asked: "What happened? You are all like eggplants beaten by frost. Are you mourning?" Feng Xiaotian and the others couldn't help but sigh.
Huo Wushuang blamed himself: "Hey~ It's all my fault. If I had acted more smoothly at that time, the things would not have been snatched away."
"The key is, We still don’t know the identities of that group of people.”
“What?” Ning Tianchen asked curiously.
To make them care so much, the value of the things is definitely not low. It is either soul bones or heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and they must be extremely valuable treasures.
"It's a soul bone. A month ago, we found a nest in a cave system in the Star Dou Forest. The owner there should have died long ago. There were many soul bone remains in the nest, and there were also many soul bones. But after After a long period of weathering, most of the soul bones had lost their effectiveness and were almost broken when touched. Only a few soul bones were relatively intact, but we were too late to clean them up, and a group of people snatched them away."
"Hey, it's also our fault for our lack of strength. There is a strong Soul Saint in that group's team, and we are no match at all."
Now that there are soul bones, Ning Tianchen became interested, "Oh? Carefully. Tell me about the situation. "
There are fights between spirit beasts, and cannibalism is not uncommon. Over a long period of time, some soul bones can be accumulated more or less in the soul beast's lair. However, the quality of these soul bones is difficult to describe, and very few of them are intact.
Feng Xiaotian restored the situation at that time based on his memory. There were at least three soul bones that were more than ten thousand years old, and two thousand-year-old soul bones that were in poor condition.
However, they failed to hold on and were robbed by a small team that had been hanging out in the forest all year round. Moreover, these people are very familiar with the terrain, and they can't even catch up.
“I got the soul bones but didn’t kill you, which proves that these people probably know your background, so that they are very afraid of you and don’t dare to kill you. So, this is what you picked up. The key to regaining one's life." Ning Tianchen said.
After some thought, Feng Xiaotian and the other three agreed with his words.
Of course, this is just a guess. If the other party simply felt that their identity would not be exposed and at the same time did not want to attract other people's attention, then they would not take action against them.
Feng Xiaotian said: "The soul bone is of great importance. If it doesn't work, I will tell Grandpa and the others. Find a way to get it back from them."
Ning Tianchen smiled and said: "No need. When these people get the soul bones, they have only two choices, either absorb them themselves or sell them. You just said that they are composed of one Soul Saint and three Soul Emperors There are five soul bones, so one must be redundant. Do you think they will sell the stolen goods in a city near the Star Dou Forest? "So we rushed to intercept?" ask.
Feng Xiaotian thought for a while and shook his head quickly, "No. According to usual practice, they will definitely predict that we may stay in the city near the Star Dou Forest, and even bring our elders with us. So. , they may do the opposite."
Ning Tianchen said: "If this group of people knew your identity, they might try to trick you into hiding and choose to come to the Tiandou Auction House to sell the stolen goods. Even if you don’t know, it’s possible to come here. Anyway, they are difficult to find, why don’t we squat at the Tiandou Auction House?”
Feng Xiaotian and others know that there is a high probability that these soul bones will not be obtained. Back.
In a realm like the Soul Beast Forest, if something is snatched away by others, you can only recognize it by pinching your nose.
Suddenly, Feng Xiaotian realized something and asked: "Wait, why are you so sure that the group of people came to Tiandou City?"
Tiandou Auction House is Tiandou The largest auction house in the empire, treasures such as soul bones can be sold at a higher value here. However, Tiandou Auction House is not the only one with such a large-scale auction house on the mainland.
If the other party went to other auctions, wouldn’t they have missed the auction?
Ning Tianchen smiled and took out the invitation from the auction house from the soul guide, "In the auction three days later, there will be two thousand-year soul bones, two thousand-year soul bones, and A mysterious final lot may also be a soul bone.”
"Ah?" Feng Xiaotian and the others quickly took the invitation.
This is an invitation from the Tiandou Auction House, with a list of items attached to it. No wonder Ning Tianchen is so sure that the soul bones they encountered are likely to appear at the Tiandou Auction House.
Of course, yes or no is no longer important.
Now that the soul bones have arrived at the Tiandou Auction House, the identity and safety of the seller will be kept secret by the auction house. It is no longer possible to settle accounts with this group of people.
"Four soul bones, it seems they kept one." Feng Xiaotian's face was uncertain.
Ning Tianchen patted him on the shoulder, "It's possible that the seller is not the group you mentioned. Now that you're back, come with me to the auction house to take a look and relax."
Tianzi The auction and the auction house did a good job in publicity in advance.
All the dignitaries in the city received invitations in advance. Moreover, advertisements are posted on notice boards in major downtown areas in the city.
Feng Xiaotian and the others were in low spirits when they entered the city, and they did not expect that the soul bones might flow into the auction house, so they did not notice it.
After returning from their training, the three of them planned to take a break. In this case, they had no reason to refuse Ning Tianchen's invitation.
...
There are many lots in this Tianzihao auction. Before the auction started, Ning Fengzhi collected a lot of funds and planned to compete for the soul bones.
You must know that soul bones are well-deserved strategic materials for any major sect.
Whether it is recruiting strong people or rewarding heroes, soul bones are undoubtedly the most prestigious.
Of course, a sect as big as the Qibao Glazed Sect would never miss a soul bone when it comes to it.
"Tianchen, Rongrong, Uncle Gu and I will sit in the red VIP area. There are some low-value items that are not convenient for us to sell, so you will bid on your behalf at that time."
Tianzihao Auction Sitting in the red VIP area There is almost an unwritten rule in this area - you can only bid on high-value or grand finale items. If you forcefully bid on low-value items, you will inevitably be maliciously bid by other red VIPs and spend a lot of extra money.
Therefore, by handing some low-value lots to Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong to bid, they can save a lot of trouble.
"Uncle Ning, the scale of this Tianzihao auction is much larger than before. All major forces will definitely compete to bid, resulting in a large premium on the price of the auction items, and the final mystery The value of the final auction should be very high, and it is expected to attract a lot of competition. "
"Therefore, I think that in addition to the ten thousand-year soul bones, we do not need to bid for the thousand-year soul bones, and save some funds for the end. ”
Although the Qibao Glazed Sect is one of the owners of the Tiandou Auction House, they are not involved in the management of the auction house, and they are not very clear about the details of the final lot.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense. Let's look at the situation and make a decision then."
Over the years, the Qibao Glazed Sect has made a lot of money, and there has been no recent gain. Large-scale investment and wealth were left within the sect.
This time, among all the invited guests, Ning Fengzhi undoubtedly has the most chips. If circumstances permit, he may even be able to wrap up all the grand finale items.
Of course, as the leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect, he cannot spend money freely.
The current situation in the mainland is turbulent, and even the Soul Master Competition has been suspended. It is hard to overstate what major events will happen in the future.
Therefore, he needs to save a lot of money and materials to allow the sect to tide over the difficulties.
......
At night, a figure flew towards the top floor of Yuexuan.
Tang Yuehua's bedroom window was not closed, and this figure rolled into it.
The person who came was none other than Tang Xiao. He said anxiously: "Yuehua, is there no news about Tang Yue and others?"
Tang Yuehua stood up to greet him, "My people have already been dispersed. I heard from Brother Hao. , the team went to the frozen forest. Now, the road into the frozen forest is closed due to heavy snow, and it is difficult for my people to enter."
"I want to deal with Tang Yue and others with their strength. They are not a problem. It is most likely that they are trapped in the snowfield town because of the heavy snowfall. Maybe they will come back next spring."
Tang Xiao did not express his position and picked up the teacup on the side.
Tang Yue was an overtime employee trained by the five elders and held a pivotal position in the sect.
This time, letting him lead the team down the mountain to chase down the Hot team was also a test for him. But he didn't expect that since he entered the snowfield town, he had lost contact with the sect.
Under the pressure of several elders, he had no choice but to find Tang Yuehua.
"I hope I'm overthinking it." Tang Xiao took a sip of tea, "By the way, where's the mistress?"
Tang Yuehua shook his head, "The mistress has left. According to Brother Hao and I According to the agreement, Xiao San will return to the sect soon to recognize his ancestors and return to the sect. Brother Xiao, you will have to mediate it when the time comes."
Tang Xiao nodded seriously.
Tang Hao and his son had been away from the sect for too long, and they had suffered a lot of grievances during this period. How could he, the elder brother (uncle), let it go?
