Chapter 40
Just when Lu Yuanming and Pei Zongzhi were wondering where the auction would be, a person in navy blue shorts came to guide them.
Under the leadership of the other party, everyone walked into this wasteland, and there were dead branches and leaves everywhere. It made people wonder, there is such a dilapidated place in Manjiazhuang.
But Gu Shen roughly guessed that the reason why this place is so messy may be because Manjiazhuang wants to hide something, such as the huge open space below.
In the dark night, the person did not know what mechanism was activated in the chaotic rocks. Suddenly there was a booming sound in front of everyone, and then a door appeared on the ground, which opened to both sides, revealing a passage for only one person.
"Everyone, please come in, find a place to sit after entering, the auction will have to wait for half an hour." After the man who led the way in Manjiazhuang finished speaking, he turned and left, and went to the door to pick up the next group of people.
Without hesitation, everyone bent down and walked into the passage. The sides of the passage are reinforced with marble, which generally will not fall down.
Stepping on the steps made of marble still feels very safe.
Every few steps, there are lighting tools on both sides of the passage, so although it is underground, it does not look dark at all.
The passage is not long, about seven or eight meters away, he walked out of the passage and entered a spacious space.
In the front is a half-meter-high table, and opposite to the table are rows of seats. According to visual inspection, this venue can probably seat a hundred or ten people.
However, on the way here, Gu Shen heard from Pei Zongzhi that this auction has extremely high requirements for the participants, and ordinary people in the martial arts world have no access to the auction, and this auction will only be attended by 50 or [-] people.
So far, there are only more than 20 people in the entire venue, and Gu Shen probably won't be full.
Each row can seat eight to ten people, and the three of Gu Shen sat in the middle of the fifth row. From the perspective of Lu Yuanming and Pei Zongzhi, the three of them mainly came to see the world, and sitting in the front is too eye-catching , just sit back and pay attention silently.
After Gu Shen sat down, he was looking at the strength of the martial arts masters in the venue.
So far, there is only one third-rank master, and that is a crooked old woman, sitting in the southeast corner of the venue.Except for this old woman, most of the people in the venue were middle-rank third-rank masters, and although there were also lower-rank third-rank masters, there were only three or four of them, and it seemed that they all came with others.
Any one of these people is a well-known figure in the outside world. After all, there are only a handful of top three masters in the entire Jianghu, and the backbone of the martial arts is still the second-rate masters of the middle three ranks.
Gu Shen didn't know much about the martial arts of the Dayin Dynasty, but he had two masters of the rivers and lakes by his side. Lu Yuanming and Pei Zongzhi both admired the martial arts and life in the rivers and lakes since childhood, and knew many things in the rivers and lakes very well.
Through the dialogue between the two, Gu Shen had a basic understanding of many people present.
For example, the old woman sitting in the first row in the southeast corner, she has a great reputation in Jianghu, she is nicknamed silver-haired mother-in-law. The silver-haired mother-in-law who was the head of Emei betrayed Emei. She acted both righteously and evilly.
People kept coming in.
But no top three masters appeared again.
During this period, a group of people caught Gu Shen's attention. From Pei Zongzhi next to him, Gu Shen knew the identity of this group of people - the children of the Jiang family from the Jizhou martial arts family.
The leader was a fair-faced and handsome young man who had cultivated to the sixth rank of martial arts at a young age, accompanied by a flowery maidservant and an old servant of the fourth rank of martial arts.
However, the fourth grade of martial arts is a rare master even in Jianghu, so when the unruly young master of the Jiang family talked to the old servant, he respected him very much.
The young master of the Jiang family and his party sat in the middle of the first row, which is why Gu Shen thinks the other party has a rebellious personality.
Just when Gu Shen thought everyone was here, an old man with blue lines on his face suddenly walked out from the entrance of the auction. His appearance made the entire auction hall choked up.
"Grass, this old devil is actually here?"
"Master Man, is he crazy? He actually invited this old devil, how bold he is."
"I heard that there is a spirit pill in this auction, which can help break through to the first rank. Perhaps this is the reason why Lao Mo came here."
In the fifth row, Gu Shen was also looking at the old man.
Martial Dao second rank, with extremely strong internal energy, and no matter how you look at it, this old man doesn't seem like a good person, and prison is more like his best destination.
If you don't count yourself, this old man is indeed the person with the highest level of martial arts in tonight's auction. His appearance made everyone present look jealous, including the silver-haired mother-in-law sitting in the southeast corner.
Gu Shen turned to look at Lu Yuanming beside him, and said, "Old Lu, who is this person?"
Having a Jianghu expert by his side can save Gu Shen a lot of energy.
Although Lu Yuanming did not practice martial arts, he liked Jianghu affairs since he was a child, and he is familiar with many major events and important people in the martial arts world.
Sure enough, upon hearing Gu Shen's question, Lu Yuanming lowered his voice and said to Gu Shen: "This person's name is Zhang Chenghe, nicknamed Eight-faced Centipede, he is an elder of the Five Poison Sect, he is well-known in the world, and he is a giant in the magic way. It is difficult to have an opponent in several states. Seven years ago, he killed hundreds of boys and girls for alchemy, and was wanted by the Imperial City Department, but this person's whereabouts are erratic, and he has not been arrested so far."
"It's hard to stop the rebellion in the southern states, and there is the Five Poison Sect behind it. It's because the rebels in the southern states covered up Zhang Chenghe's trace, which makes it difficult to find him." Pei Zongzhi rarely took the initiative to explain to Gu Shen.
Hearing this, Gu Shen frowned, and looked coldly at the gloomy Zhang Chenghe.
People are in the Jianghu, it is inevitable to kill people, but to kill hundreds of boys and girls for alchemy, this is really insane.
I don't know if he felt Gu Shen's gaze, but Zhang Chenghe, who was sitting on the edge of the third row, turned his head and looked over here, so scared that Lu Yuanming and Pei Zongzhi didn't dare to breathe.
"Jie Jie."
"The little baby has a sixth-rank skill at a young age, and the talent is pretty good."
Zhang Chenghe, the eight-faced centipede, praised Pei Zongzhi, then withdrew his gaze, and directly ignored Gu Shen and Lu Yuanming.
