sword sentient beings

Chapter 286 Game Start

and Spring City.

Compared with Jiugao Mountain, which is undercurrent and turbulent, Jichun City has been relatively calm these days.

Ever since the mysterious man frightened the innocent people in the teahouse, the "sword-making hotness" in Jichun City suddenly cooled down.Although there are still many legends in the streets and alleys, ordinary people who are not involved in the rivers and lakes are already a little timid about the sword casting conference. "There is a conspiracy behind it", "I understand everything" and so on.

Of course, this situation is not what Bai Yushenghui wants to see, because it will greatly affect the market after opening a branch in the future, and it will take a lot of effort to increase the popularity of the store again in the future.But this is what the Spring City government and the local prosecutor want to see.Every local government hopes that there will be no accidents in their cities, and the procuratorate is responsible for calming the chaos. Although Tang Zhao's half "mother's family" is ready to help suppress the situation at the most chaotic time, if it is not necessary Wouldn't this "public and private" suppression be good for everyone?
However, this calm only stays on the surface, and the situation underground has never been calm.

With the Catacombs as the platform and the Ghost Grinding Center as the center, those who secretly observe and even covet the Sword-Forging Conference never stop, and the people who come and go change like a revolving lantern.It's just that these covetousness and chaos reached their peak in early July, and gradually declined in the first few days of the Sword Forging Association, fading back and forth as if they had a tacit understanding with the upsurge on the ground.

The main reason is that well-connected, wealthy, and courageous martial arts people have already gone up the mountain in various ways, whether it is buying invitations, fighting for favors, going directly to Zhuoyu Villa, or climbing the snow mountain to try their luck, they have already taken action. The rest are just spectators with zealous intentions but no courage.

Secondary reasons...Of course there are secondary reasons too. Let’s say that there is an endless stream of warriors climbing the snow-capped mountains these days, but most of them never look back—it’s not surprising. I went up the mountain to go to the sword-making conference. Of course, the conference didn’t start. I won't go down the mountain, so I might wait on the mountain.But there are also losers in twos and threes who come back from the mountain.And most of these losers kept secret about their experience on the mountain. Only a few of them occasionally confide some fragments to their acquaintances, saying that they encountered unimaginable disasters on the mountain and dared not go up the mountain again. Most of them packed up their things and went south that day. .

This vague, half-covered way of speaking and the silence of more people created a creepy atmosphere.The mystery created fear, and this fear began to spread among those related to Chuncheng, and soon spread to every corner of the underground like a plague.The rest were soaked in this atmosphere of fear. On the one hand, they were deterred, and on the other hand, they were also curious, so they vacillated between avoiding right and wrong and staying to watch right and wrong.

Therefore, it was spread early that when the auction known as "The Last Chance to Become a Swordsman" was held, although there were many participants, all the warriors who remained would go to watch the excitement, but they were determined to bid But there are not many people.Most of them just want to see a result - who is the last person to make the deal?What will he get?
Ever since the Black Widow came down from the mountain, she has been full of confidence in Zhuoyu Villa, she has stabilized her mind and no longer cares about the monsters in Spring City, she just plans to take the last speed train to Zhuoyu Villa - after all, she still has the invitation card .

At this time, Li Laosan came to invite her to the auction, and the Black Widow was naturally not interested. After this incident, she basically knew the people down the mountain—the so-called jumping clowns are not worth mentioning.Let them toss about under the mountain, no matter if it is an auction or a gladiatorial meeting, even a memorial service will not be able to play well.

Li Laosan didn't know that the black widow didn't want to be perfunctory anymore, and he couldn't help but pester her endlessly because of her beauty, and his words became more and more rude.The black widow was impatient, and her eyes turned fiercely.

Seeing this look, Li Laosan suddenly became alarmed, swallowed half of a sentence and ran away without turning back, and the black widow didn't care, and went up the mountain by herself.

"Damn, what a dangerous woman."

Li Laosan ran into a wall with the black widow, and Fei seemed to leave. He was relieved when no one prescribed it, and he was also in a cold sweat. Didn't get started, or wouldn't she be poisoned to death?"

He cursed for a while, and finally went to the auction alone.Just like most people, he didn't intend to seriously compete for the so-called quota, but he just felt that everyone was coming, and the mountain couldn't go up, so why don't you catch up with the last one?
The auction was held in the Catacombs, occupying the largest cave in the Catacombs, which was as big as a small square.At this time, there are so many people, people are facing each other, and it is almost impossible to sit down.

Because it was held in the Catacombs, and it was hosted by such a gray force as Ghost Grinding, the layout of the venue could not be very grand, and there were no fancy decorations.The gate is wide open, and there is no access control, let alone a welcoming lady.Those with invitations can enter, and those without invitations can also enter. For a while, fish and dragons are mixed, bustling, more chaotic than a vegetable market.

There was no feeling of time passing in the cave, only that after a while, even Li Laosan thought it was too noisy, and suddenly there was a shock.

"when--"

There was a loud bang, but it was a rough woman on the stage who had been staring down aggressively before ringing a bronze bell hanging in front of the stage.

Li Laosan's heart trembled when he was stared at by the woman's eyes, and he thought to himself: What a rough woman, she is much worse than that Yin lady... Hey, they are all vicious women, and I am also unlucky. last two.In comparison, Mrs. Yin at least smiled softly. Where did she find this dominatrix?

At this moment, a scar-faced man appeared from the audience.

As soon as the scar-faced man appeared, everyone fell silent.Almost everyone knows that this is the manager of Gui Tuimu and Chuncheng, who is in charge of sending and receiving tasks. Those in the crowd who were lucky enough to get down from the mountain most likely took the mountain climbing task from him. There was a slight uproar in the scene, obviously Some people still remember the terrifying experience on the snow-capped mountains, which almost left a psychological shadow. Seeing this half of the "instigator", it is inevitable that they will feel angry in their hearts.If it weren't for the fact that the brand of "Ghost Mill" is not easy to mess with, I'm afraid some people would go up and scold and settle accounts.

The scar-faced man stepped onto the stage and laughed with his signature hoarse voice: "Everyone, everyone is here. The time is up, and those who don't come will be considered absent."

"Today's auction has only one item, so there is no process. If it comes up, the auction will be over soon." The scarfaced man opened a box behind him, revealing a bright red invitation card. "The invitation card for the Sword Forging Conference, and there is a direct bus. The distinguished guest who bought the invitation card, we will send him up the mountain in a special car, to ensure that he arrives before the Sword Forging Conference tomorrow, and there will be no delay. There are still six hours before tomorrow's conference. , more than enough time."

Six hours, only the last six hours left before the Sword Forging Conference.

He changed his tone, and said in a hoarse tone with a bit of playfulness: "The rules are concise and clear, right? However, this also caused a problem-this way the auction will end very quickly. Except for the final winner, everyone will be in vain. Come here, don't you even have to watch the excitement? This is not good. In this way, let's play a small game to warm up the scene and add to the fun."

Everyone couldn't help being puzzled, but they were also a little interested. After all, although there was a lot of news in Jichun City these days, it would actually be a bit boring to stay in the city all the time.As for games, what everyone thinks of is riddle guessing, throwing pots, drinking orders, etc. Those who have seen Bai Yushenghui's tricks even think: Is it a lottery?
The scar-faced man beckoned the rough woman to come forward, spread out a piece of white paper on the wall, and then wrote a few large characters on it.

"Sword Forging Conference."

"How about we play a Lenovo game? The theme is the Sword Forging Conference. For example, when you see the Sword Forging Conference, you will think of swords." He wrote a word "Sword" on the paper, "I will think of Zhuoyu Villa." Also wrote the four characters Zhuoyu Villa.

"I will think of Jianlu, Jiugao Mountain, and the success of casting swords... um..." he said, writing these words on the paper, "What other words can you think of? If you tell me, I will write it. Let's see who thinks it. Lots of words."

The scene was quiet.

No one answered, everyone stared at him, and two words flashed in their hearts at the same time: "Stupid——"

What kind of shit game is this?
Do you think we are three-year-old children, and play literacy games with you?

Seeing that the crowd was about to stand up, two angry people scolded him, but the scar-faced man immediately said, "It's not in vain. Whoever has the most associations, we will send him a piece of Tianzihao information for free. "

The scene was silent again.Some people's greedy breath is rough.

Finally, someone said loudly: "I think of mountain climbing."

The scar-faced man said with a smile: "Okay, this is good." He immediately wrote up the mountain climbing.

With the first brave man, everyone wiped away their face, and immediately called an "invitation card" from the left and a "swordsmith" from the right. Various answers came out one after another, and the lively atmosphere was completely restored.

"The time has come."

In the guest house, someone took out a small piece of tortoise shell.

Special lines appeared on the tortoise shell, which was a signal of assembly.

It was the middle of the night at this time, there was no moon tonight, the clouds were overwhelming, and the water was completely black through the window, which was a good time to do things.

The guest with the tortoise shell packed his bags carefully, only wearing close-fitting black clothes, and turned out of the guest house.

There are several others like him.

If it was normal, there was a master who seemed not to be trifled with in the guest house, and they were somewhat apprehensive, and it was inconvenient to act openly.However, the old man was not in the hall today for some reason, and with the ordinary disciples left behind, there was absolutely no way to find the master lurking in.

More than a dozen men, women and children came to a lake that had long been optimistic about like ghosts, turned sideways into the reeds, and immediately merged with the reeds.Covered by clumps of reeds, and so dark at night, it is hard to see even a fairy.

In the reed marshes, a small boat had long been hidden. There was a young man standing at the bow of the boat, wearing a cloak. He was the leader of the trip, the first guard under Zhu Guo's command.

"Sit down and wait for everyone to arrive. Let's set off. Tonight, Zhuoyu Villa will be turned upside down."
