Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 571

Sure enough, just as Tie Jian said, they walked for a while, and the exit in front suddenly flashed, and it was much closer to them.

They quickly walked out of the entrance and came to an unusually wide square. It's extremely lively here, like a bustling market.

Around the square, rows of semicircular light curtains were densely arranged, and many monks entered and exited from these light curtains.

In the center of the square, there is a white jade stone platform with an ordinary wooden table placed on it.

Two young men in green clothes were delivering something to several foreigners.

Lin Mo was watching intently, but Tie Jian turned his head, cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, let's say goodbye here. I want to find some suitable buyers and sell the treasures in my hands as soon as possible. I won't go shopping with you anymore."

"No problem. If you have something to do, go ahead. I also want to look around by myself." Lin Mo replied with a smile.

Tie Jian bowed his hands in greeting again, and then walked happily in one direction.

Lin Mo looked at his back, his eyes flickering for a few times, and then he walked back to the center of the stage after a while.

After a while, he walked near the stage.

At this time, several more people came onto the stage.

But this time, Lin Mo finally saw it clearly.

After each of these foreigners on stage handed a bag of high-level spiritual stones to two boys, they could get a small flag of different colors.

Lin Mo kept his eyes fixed on one of the people, and found that he had walked to the edge of the square where no one was around. He waved the small flag a few times, and then a semicircular light curtain appeared, completely covering him underneath.

Lin Mo tried to use his spiritual thoughts to explore, but as soon as his spiritual thoughts came into contact with the light curtain, it was blocked by a layer of restriction and could not penetrate.

Obviously, these light curtains are specially used to allow the monks in the square to conduct transactions.

In this way, he doesn't have to worry about his privacy being spied on by others.

Lin Mo glanced around and found that the entire square was filled with flickering lights.

There are even several smaller squares in the distance that look equally lively.

He let out a long sigh and decided not to waste any more time.

Although there is a treasure, finding the right buyer is not easy.

He decided to go back and prepare for the auction, and he must raise enough spiritual stones before then.

Thinking of this, he walked straight back along the edge of the square.

Most of the time I just took a look outside, occasionally entered one or two light curtains, and then walked out again quickly.

An hour passed, and Lin Mo still found nothing. So, he frowned and decided to return to the entrance.

Stepping into the entrance again, Lin Mo happened to be the only one in the entire entrance.

As Lin Mo was walking, his sleeve suddenly flicked, and a black gauze scarf appeared.

With a soft sound, a faint black mist trapped Lin Mo in it, making his figure blurry.

However, almost the next moment, a bright light flashed in the dark fog, and the fog rolled down and turned into a dark and shiny robe, draped around Lin Mo.

Lin Mo lowered his head slightly and emerged from the mist.

His breath became vague and very thin. But when he raised his head, he revealed a pale, unfamiliar face.

In an instant, Lin Mo's clothes and appearance changed.

Silently, Lin Mo walked out of the entrance and passed by several foreigners who entered.

The blue-robed guards guarding the outside just glanced at it and didn't do anything unusual.

Lin Mo swaggered into the side hall on the other side.

Although this square was not small, the situation made Lin Mo slightly startled.

Unlike the places where items are sold, although there are many people here, they are all gathered in a small part of the square.

There, there stood a bluestone wall about ten feet high, with silver words flashing on it. Many foreign cultivators gathered around these stone walls and stared at them.

Behind the stone wall, there are more than a dozen jade houses connected together, surrounding a multi-story attic.

Each jade house is crystal clear and extremely white.

But there was a white light flashing at the doors of these houses, covered by a ray of light, and vaguely open.

The attic in the center was completely red, shrouded in a layer of light green smoke, exuding fragrance, as if it were something other than this world.

People watching around the stone walls walked into these jade houses from time to time. After coming out, some looked gloomy, some were depressed, and some were extremely excited.

After Lin Mo saw the situation clearly, he walked straight towards a stone wall without hesitation.

However, at this moment, at another nearby stone wall, a slender figure suddenly turned around and walked in the same direction.

Lin Mo glanced at the figure subconsciously, and his expression suddenly changed.

The woman had long black hair, wore a blue robe, had a pretty face, but a cold expression.

She didn't notice Lin Mo's abnormality and walked straight to the stone wall and stared at it.

"How could it be her? It's impossible. But is there really such an amazing person in the world?"

Lin Mo stopped, his face turned pale, he stared at the woman in blue robe, and whispered to himself.

Lin Mo looked at the woman in blue robe absentmindedly, as if she noticed something. She subconsciously turned around and met Lin Mo's eyes.

Lin Mo stared straight at the woman in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, and then showed a trace of hesitation. But when her spiritual thoughts passed by, a panic emerged in her heart.

She couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations in Lin Mo, which made her feel uneasy, so she immediately turned around and left.

At the same time, Lin Mo gradually recovered from his gaffe, his expression became calm again, his eyes fell on the woman, and he began to think.

The woman in the blue robe was so similar to a person deep in his heart that it shocked him and made him a little hesitant.

The face and smile of Chen Qiaoqian, the woman who had expressed her love to him, gradually became clear in his heart, as if magnified several times, filling his heart.

Although this woman in blue robe is so similar in appearance and behavior to "Chen Qiaoqian" who once passed away in the world, except for her slightly indifferent demeanor, there is almost no difference, as if she is the incarnation of Chen Qiaoqian.

When he heard the news of Chen Qiaoqian's death, Lin Mo acted very calmly, but his heart was full of sadness and unspeakable emotions.

Maybe it's not love, but for a woman who once loved him, a normal man will naturally have complex and unforgettable emotions. However, Chen Qiaoqian cannot come back from the dead or reappear in the world. Even though the woman in blue robe looks so similar to her, she is just a foreign woman.

Lin Mo's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he suppressed the surging emotions. After hesitating for a moment, he still walked towards the stone wall according to his original plan.

Although the woman in blue robe did not look back, she seemed to be able to sense the situation behind her, frowned, and quickly left her original position.

Lin Mo stepped forward unceremoniously and stood directly where she stood before. Although he did not turn around, he could feel the woman in blue robe glaring at him from behind, and then quickly walked towards the stone wall a little further away.

It seems she views him as a womanizer looking for beauty.

Lin Mo smiled in his heart, gathered his thoughts, and focused on the stone wall in front of him.

The silver text on the stone wall was just as he expected, recording the names of various natural materials and treasures, but strangely, there was no purchase price marked, only numbers from one to thirteen followed.

When Lin Mo saw this scene, his heart moved and he immediately understood the intention. He read the contents on the stone wall carefully and then walked straight to the next stone wall.

With a quick glance, Lin Mo glanced at most of the stone walls almost in the blink of an eye.

However, his face was expressionless, and he seemed to have not found a suitable target, and continued to look for it calmly.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the center of the red attic, followed by an extremely angry voice shouting:
"What? You said this thing is fake? Impossible! I paid a huge price for it, and I was even almost surrounded by a group of golden-winged giants."

"What are you yelling about? If it's fake, it's fake. Even if it's true, I won't accept it."

"Now that the appraisal is complete, Fellow Daoist Qiu can leave." Another sharp voice also came from the attic, saying unceremoniously.

"For this thing, I lay in the cave for seven or eight years after I came back, and it turned out to be fake in the end."

"Don't let me meet the guy who gave me the news again, otherwise I will twist his head off without saying a word."

The first man roared, his voice so loud that it was almost spiritual, so that everyone outside could hear it clearly.

But most of the people here were not native to Yuncheng, so they were startled and looked at each other.

Suddenly, a red light flashed on the surface of the red attic, and a huge figure three feet tall rushed out. As soon as it landed, the ground shook. This figure is extremely heavy.

Most people in the square turned to look, and then gasped.

The figure is half metal, half flesh from head to toe.

Half of the metal is black-gray and has an eerie sheen, while the other half's flesh is bronze and looks indestructible.

Looking up, he saw a ferocious face with green tendrils. The nose and eyes were several times larger than ordinary people. The head was cone-shaped and covered with sparse green hair.

Lin Mo's mind swept over this strange figure, and his expression changed drastically.

He was unable to see the other party's cultivation level, and he had reached the peak of integration like Qian Jizi.

Although Lin Mo didn't recognize this character, the other foreigners here knew him clearly.

Almost as soon as the weirdo landed, more than a dozen people from the nearby crowd immediately poured out and saluted the weirdo: "Meet Elder Duan" and "Meet the Third Elder."

A series of greetings came from their mouths.

These people are much taller than ordinary people, and they are all members of the Stone Cocoon clan. And this weirdo is one of the top elders of the Stone Cocoon Clan.

"Oh, you are here to participate in this auction too. I hope you gain something."

The weirdo glanced around, waved casually, and then strode outside.

He suddenly stopped when he passed by Lin Mo, his big nose twitched, and he stared at Lin Mo with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Such a strange scene shocked everyone around him, and many people turned their eyes to Lin Mo, trying to figure out the clues.

"Senior, do you have any instructions?" Lin Mo felt bad and confused, so he asked politely, forcing a smile on his face.

"What's your name and which tribe you are from?" Lin Mo didn't know the other party's intention and didn't dare to reveal his identity easily, so he could only answer vaguely.

"Okay, I am Duan Tianren of the Stone Cocoon Clan. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me." The weirdo didn't seem to hear Lin Mo's answer. His figure swayed, but he immediately regained his composure.

Lin Mo's expression changed.

He clearly felt that his shoulder was tapped at the moment when the strange man's figure was abnormal.

Even though he had psychic powers and was aware of the traces of the opponent's attack, the opponent's movements were too fast and he had no time to dodge.

And a strange spiritual energy came from the opponent's palm, flowing along his arm, and then dissipated on its own.

"Senior, what does this mean?" Lin Mo's face turned pale.

Only a dozen people saw the scene just now, but most of them thought Lin Mo's reaction was a bit strange.

The weirdo glanced at Lin Mo and smiled: "It's nothing. I see that you have practiced some kind of body-refining technique, which is very interesting. We will have the opportunity to exchange techniques in the future."

Lin Mo was shocked, and his face was slightly painful. He knew in his heart that the other party had seen through his lies.

He would not believe what the other party said about exchanging skills, and what was the intention of the other party's actions just now.

Lin Mo's mind was racing, but he couldn't understand why the other party suddenly attacked him.

He was sure it was his first time seeing this weirdo.

"Stop thinking about it. I'm waiting for you in Chunxiang Pavilion. Don't think about running away. Although I didn't do anything to you, I have locked you. Don't even think about escaping." The weirdo sent a message to Lin Mo's ears.

Then he turned and left without explaining. After a while, he left the square and walked towards the entrance.

Lin Mo was upset and couldn't calm down.

When he felt the strange looks around him, he couldn't help but mutter a few words, then turned and walked towards the entrance.

Lin Mo originally planned to secretly sell some of the elixirs and herbs in his hands here after changing his appearance to gather some spiritual stones.

But now, because of the interference from the weirdo just now, it is naturally impossible to carry out such behavior in full view of the public.

So he dismissed the idea almost immediately.

Lin Mo walked out of the side hall seemingly calmly, came to the place where the beast cart was parked in the open space in front of the auction hall, and then looked across the way gloomily.

When I came here just now, I didn't notice a place like "Chenxiang Pavilion". Now I took a closer look and found that there was indeed such a place.

This attic is not too big, but it faces the auction hall. It is three stories high, and there is a plaque with flying dragons and phoenixes hanging on the door.

However, compared with the bustle of other surrounding buildings, the entrance to this attic was deserted, and no one came in or out for a long time.
