So What If You've Been Reborn?

The cool breeze blows, carrying the fishy smell of sea water.

Sea boats of various shapes are parked outside the island, and the slightly narrow road is crowded with people. There are merchants and aristocratic stewards who have traveled far to buy rare treasures, and there are also vicious water bandits and pirates. The friar who behaved strangely was like a grand event.

As for Chen He, just like those lucky passers-by who came to this island by mistake, looking around in surprise, it is hard to imagine that such a bustling and lively island can be found on a lonely island.

The terrain of Hongyan Island is relatively low in the north and south, and high in the east and west. There is even a volcano on the island that emits white smoke and ash.

There are countless exotic flowers and plants, and the houses are built according to the mountain, with rows of high and low, and the crowds are heading in that direction.

Chen He has good eyesight. From a distance, he saw that the doors and windows of those houses were connected to each other when they were opened wide. The windows were also different from the Kyushu in the Central Plains. into the room.The eaves are tiled with Xiuyan jade, with crescent-shaped arcs protruding from both sides.

Strong cords hung from the upturned arches of these eaves.

Under the moonlight night, someone Wu belted the wind, stepped on the rope, walked past like a ghost, and easily went down the four or five floors of the pavilion, and entered a shop hung with brightly colored fabrics through the open window.

This is the bazaar.

In the stretch of continuous buildings, there are stairs and corridors connecting up and down, left and right, and countless white ropes are hung outside for those monks who want to take a shortcut.

Many people who first arrived on this island were so shocked that they could not speak.

Even Chen Ho was no exception, looking around in surprise: Can you do this directly in front of mortals?

Not far away, the steward of An's family followed, his mouth was wide open, he looked stupid, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and in a daze grabbed a big man passing by and asked, "This, this is Hongyan Island?"

It just so happened that a few female nuns in fine attire were laughing and chattering as they passed by the nearest house. Their skirts fluttered and their faces were beautiful.

"Why... why are there so many fairies? I'm not dreaming!"

The big man had a dark complexion with a black cloth covering one eye, and impatiently threw the steward of the An family far away, sneering: "Where is the poor man, he must be an idiot who honors others with all his property!"

The steward fell into a coma and didn't get up for a long time.

Desperadoes like water bandits and pirates should not be easily provoked. After everyone recovered their senses, they cowered and hid beside them.

"Poor ghosts, look well, if you want to go in and see the world, you have to pay at least this amount!" The big man raised his palm as big as a cattail fan, shook it and laughed loudly.

"You! A dog's eyes look down on people, we will..."

Before a follower could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by a fellow traveller.

The big man unceremoniously stretched out his hand and tore it, and the tattered clothes were completely turned into a pile of rags. The attendant was so ashamed and indignant, the big man just carried the poor thing and smiled arrogantly to the people watching: "Yes, You have money, but what about now? Your money bag is our treasure chest!"

"It's quite thin and tender." Moxiu who was standing by the roadside narrowed his eyes.

The monks in the crowd cast their gazes on these embarrassing survivors of the shipwreck. They were not mocking, but their solemn appearance seemed to be examining the cargo.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen He hid to the side.

Unexpectedly, a voice came out from behind: "Hey, what a bone! Come here and let me touch it carefully..."

"This fellow Taoist." Chen Ho turned around to avoid it, and released another wisp of true energy.

"what!"

The person behind him became embarrassed, and the outstretched hand could only be retracted as a joke: "Daoist friend's ingenious concealment method, but I was rude! Misunderstood!"

This guy's attire is quite strange, his lower garments are neat, plain silk embroidered with golden bamboo, but his upper body is only covered with a piece of white silk, which has not been cut at all, but the whole piece of silk is hung on his shoulders so that it falls naturally to the sides.

Most of the arms are outside, not to mention the chest.

Chen He hadn't complained about this attire yet, but the other party asked curiously, "Why do fellow Daoists look so embarrassed?"

"When I first came to Hongyan Island, I didn't know the rules, so I just mixed in with ordinary people." Chen He sighed pretendingly, "Look at the bad idea I thought."

The man's eyes lit up, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no, fellow daoist is smarter, pretending to be a shipwreck, he must have seen all these miserable guys on the island! Is there any good, please give advice, I beg you How eager!"

"..."

Chen He froze for a moment, and said vaguely: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Fellow Daoist!"

The man stumbled and sighed: "Come on, if it's really easy to find someone you like, I'll just stay behind closed doors and wait to pick up the mortals who float over. Why do I need to come to Hongyan Island?"

As he spoke, he bowed to Chen He again: "I am Tong Xiaozhen, a monk from Keyu Island in the East China Sea. Please ask for your friend's name."

"Nanhai Loose Cultivator, Feng Shi." Chen He calmly reversed his senior's name and used a homonym.

"Fellow Daoist came from South China Sea to participate in the auction?" Tong Xiaozhen was surprised, "It's not easy."

Well, this is not a comprehension market, but an auction.

Chen He rummaged through the memory of the empowerment, and probably knew what the auction was about. He stood behind the tree, took out a set of robes from the storage bag, and a leather mask, and quickly changed it into himself with spells. up.

Auction, what a place!

After the monks entered, everyone used cover-ups and walked around the venue a few times, which was a good way to get rid of the pursuers.

Wherever Chen Ho is lively now, he will go there.

It would be best if he could join a boat to go to the South China Sea after the auction, and then transfer to a boat sailing to Qingzhou halfway.

Tong Xiaozhen's cultivation in the middle stage of Jindan was a little behind Chen He, so his tone was quite polite, and the two came side by side in front of the continuous pavilion.

There is an ink and gold plaque hanging at the door: from Liang Shangyan to Liang Shangyan.

Chen He was about to ask how much money he would have to pay to go in, when Tong Xiaozhen landed lightly on a rope tied to the top of the magnificent gate.

Chen Ho followed and floated up.

Just listening to the mortals at the door waiting to get in, they sighed in admiration: "Two masters again!"

"No wonder someone once said that if you don't come to Hongyan Island to see it, you won't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth."

"If I hadn't taken the risk of being overwhelmed by the waves and traveled far across the ocean, I would have never seen so many top masters. They are all masters from outside the world. I really underestimated the heroes of the world before."

Chen He: ...

He seemed to understand why the cultivator dared to wander here casually.

This is an isolated overseas island, so it's okay to dress strangely, let alone an expert in the world!

Along the way, Chen He saw a lot of lavish goods under the eaves, fist-sized gems, cloth that shone like gold, exquisite decorations and antiques, luminous cups, red coral, and piles of beads of various colors, like gravel. Pick and choose.

You don't even need to light too many lights in the building, and the treasures are self-illuminating.

"Brother Tong, where is the meeting place?" Chen He saw that the more he went up, the denser the ropes, and there were more monks.

"That's the biggest place." Tong Xiaozhen raised his head and pointed to a huge four-story pagoda-shaped pavilion with a pink curtain floating.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chen He, who was seated at a square table on the lowest floor of the pavilion, was buzzing in his head. He made a mistake!Surprisingly few monks use cover-ups. Fortunately, he has prepared both ways and even wore a mask, otherwise he would stand out from the crowd and definitely attract the attention of others.

But this—isn't it an auction?

Although all the monks sitting in the hall on the ground floor are Jindan stage monks, this bustling and prosperous scene has more than 300 people, plus the monks on the upper three floors, it is a grand event in the East China Sea. I am afraid that half of the monks in the East China Sea are sitting here In Liangyan Pavilion.

This means that the person who is trying to catch him is probably also--

Chen He settled down, like the monks around him, he closed his eyes and remained silent.

In the hall on the ground floor, the voices of price calls from the upper floors could be vaguely heard, but the person in charge of Liang Yange could not hear the introduction of the items. Chen He held his breath and only caught sporadic sentences.

"The two of you should not compete, you need to ask what you want... It's really a pity, you might as well look at the next one..."

"Congratulations to the distinguished guests on the third floor!"

The last sentence was shouted out, and all the monks in the hall opened their eyes one after another.

"Brother Feng Dao, we have already reached the second floor." Tong Xiaozhen looked at the ceiling nervously, "God bless, there are not many Nascent Soul stage monks here this time, don't pick all the good ones away, then I will be in vain this year." Here we come!"

An old man at the next table stroked his beard and interjected: "No, the meeting is held once a year on the fifth day of May. I have returned empty-handed for the past seven years. Alas, I would rather be short than excessive! This time I hope to have a good harvest. "

Tong Xiaozhen became even more nervous.

Chen He was thinking about the strange auction method of Liangyang Pavilion. It seemed that the guests were taken to different floors according to their cultivation. of.

This is a good way to avoid conflicts, at least the strength is equal, and it is enough courage to raise the price between each other, otherwise, if you take out a superb panacea, the low-level monks who can't afford it will look at it in vain, and even more so What's more, the low-level monks who took out good things had no idea what it was.

Chen Ho watched from the sidelines, and found that among the monks, like Tong Xiaozhen, some were nervously knocking on the table, some were nervously pinching their fingers, and some were muttering to God, it was so weird!

How can anyone participate in an auction and be so worried about not being able to grab something?

"Congratulations to the distinguished guests on the second floor!"

The entire ceiling shook, and then a small piece slowly fell.

Chen He looked up and found that the top three floors were completely empty, and he could see the spire of the pagoda when he looked up.

The ceiling fell to the open space at the end of the hall, and then a group of mortals led by more than a dozen monks in Qingyi Liang Yange slowly walked down from the second floor.

Some of these people are ragged, some are luxurious, and there are both men and women.The oldest weak crown, the youngest is also seven or eight years old.

There are more than 100 people in total.

They didn't look very good, many of them drooped their heads, and there were even a few young children who were crying and crying.

"..."

There is also a tooth shop in the realm of comprehension?Are all the people sold at the Liang Yange auction?

"You fellow Taoists have come from afar, thank you for your hard work." After the person in charge of the auction finished speaking, he yelled at the mortal behind him with listless eyes and dull eyes, "What are you looking like? If you were not picked by the seniors upstairs, you are naturally not talented enough. , the way of cultivation, how can you be too ambitious and greedy?"

The monks who have been waiting all the time nodded in satisfaction. Although they can only pick the last one, it doesn't mean that they are willing to be despised by these mortals!

"The old rule of Liang Yange is that the one with the highest price wins. These mortals are carefully selected by the pavilion in Kyushu, overseas, and even the Western Regions. They are all voluntary. Even the poorest aptitude can build a foundation, and no one can deceive you. With your eyesight , and how much they are willing to pay. If no one wants it, it will be left as a member of Liang Yange, and if any fellow Taoist lacks a gatekeeper boy or entourage, another price will be negotiated after the auction."

When he said a word, the mortals on the stage trembled, fearing to be the worst group in the end, they all raised their heads and stood up straight, tremblingly looking at the monks in the hall.

Chen He: ...

Do the monks in the East China Sea buy their apprentices? ?

Or go to the auction to buy! !What a lack of apprentices this is!

- Uh, that's right.The misty waves are vast and vast, and the East China Sea is vast. If a monk wants to accept disciples, how many years will he have to take a boat to search slowly?Where can I find someone with the right qualifications? It's better to leave it to someone with power to act as a unified agent.
