I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 46: Golden Tablet
Ok?
Li Qingyun did not expect that someone would raise the price at the last minute, and the face under the mask showed a little surprise.

But he already had a plan to deal with this, so he did not panic. Instead, he looked at the person who made the bid with interest.

It was obviously a woman with a very hot body. Even with a large cloak covering her, her graceful curves could not be concealed.

Beneath the cold iron mask she was wearing was a perfect neck line, with her fair and delicate skin faintly visible, like an exquisitely carved jade statue, elegant and beautiful, evoking endless reverie.

She raised the price by double in one go, and there was no competition afterwards. Du Huairen smiled and said:
"Three hundred taels, the deal is done. The girl really has a keen eye!"

As he spoke, he gave Li Qingyun a fierce look.

Why are you raising the price so high? No one is competing with you for it. If you have money but nowhere to spend it, you can donate it to me... Li Qingyun raised his eyebrows, secretly made a note of it in his heart, and returned to his seat calmly.

He ran up to inspect the puppet, of course not intentionally to embarrass Du Huairen, but with three things in mind.

The first is to absorb the foul air above and strengthen one's own qi and blood.

The second is to use this opportunity to buy the puppet at a low price and keep it properly to prevent it from spreading and harming innocent people.

The third reason is to take advantage of the opportunity to touch the puppet and leave one's own breath on it, which will be convenient for divination in the future and to determine the position of the puppet at any time in case of emergency.

Now the “untimely need” has come, hasn’t it?
What is the relationship between this woman and the Wu Shi Sect? Could she be a member of the sect who practices evil dharma like Ma Tongsu?

Li Qingyun couldn't guess the answer for a moment, so he could only wait until the trade fair was over to do divination to see if he could find out the identity of this woman and get some information from her.

Although he knew that Kaifeng Prefecture was already doing its best to track down the Wu Shi Sect, Li Qingyun would never dare to take it lightly or miss any possible clues as it concerned his own life and property.

The items that followed became more and more expensive. Although a set of knife skills appeared, it was not of high quality and Li Qingyun was short of money and could not afford it at all.

Another half an hour later, the first round of auction at Xuanwu Pavilion ended. A total of more than ten items were sold without a single failure, with a total value of more than six thousand taels, which was jaw-dropping.

Our Changle Casino is already an old hen that lays golden eggs. Its monthly turnover is only two to three thousand silver coins. The Xuanwu Pavilion's business in one night is equivalent to our two months' business. The profit is definitely higher than that of the casino.
Li Qingyun was extremely envious of this and wished he could hold a similar trade fair himself.

However, the current power of the Changle Gang is far from enough, and there is no channel to obtain so many rare items. Besides, there is only one extraordinary person like him. How can he control so many bandits?
Well, I have to train more of my subordinates around me... Li Qingyun kept thinking in his mind and subconsciously glanced at Song Ke beside him.

At this time, the next round of auction begins, and the people in the audience go on stage one by one according to the order on the number cards, and each of them expresses their needs or sells treasures.

The first person to come forward was the bald man from the Taishan Sect. He held the ghost-headed knife upside down and said slowly with a bitter face:
"I am Shi Tiezheng of Taishan Sect. My cultivation level is the second level of martial arts, 'Qi Refining'. The thing I am auctioning is... uh... myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.

Selling oneself on the street is indeed rare.

Some people who were curious started to make a fuss and shouted:

"Hey, we don't like this..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tiezheng's face darkened slightly and he took a fierce look towards the area where the sound came from.

A martial arts practitioner in the Qi Refining Realm, whose blood, flesh and essence are transformed into invisible and intangible vital energy, has a gaze that contains real energy. When he glances at them, everyone in that area feels a pressure as heavy as a mountain, and they are so frightened that they immediately fall silent.

Shi Tiezheng continued:
"What I mean is, whoever pays the most, I can help him complete a task. As long as it doesn't involve killing innocent people and doesn't violate the principles of chivalry, I promise to do my best, but I won't refund the money regardless of whether it can be completed or not. For each task, um, I want three hundred taels of silver."

Who doesn't have some difficulties when walking on the Green Forest Road? Three hundred taels of silver can invite a second-level extraordinary person to do his best to complete a task. This price is actually very fair, but it is definitely not something that everyone can afford. People without money are naturally watching the fun, and even rich people have to consider whether it is worth the price.

Therefore, the venue was quiet for a while, and immediately someone made a bid and shouted:
"I'll pay three hundred taels!"

"Three hundred and fifty taels!"

"Four hundred taels!"

"..."

When the price was raised to five hundred taels, there was a brief silence in the venue. Those who wanted to continue bidding were hesitating. After all, Shi Tiezheng was not willing to help with everything, and the fact that he could not violate the principles of chivalry limited many possibilities.

"I'll pay you a thousand taels!"

But only a moment later, the clear sound like a silver bell rang out again.

No, sister, you always raise the price in multiples... Li Qingyun heard clearly that the person who made the bid was the woman who just bought the puppet, and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The woman's words immediately made the other buyers who were still hesitating give up the idea, and after a long while, the place was still silent.

"Okay, I promise you."

Shi Tiezheng still had a bitter face and spoke weakly, as if selling himself for one thousand taels was a very unfair thing for him.

After a brief thought, he took out half a jade pendant from his arms, shook his wrist slightly, and threw it towards the woman, who caught it steadily in her hand.

"This is my token of trust. You can come to the nearby Gaosheng Inn to find me in person. If it's inconvenient, you can send someone to come. I only recognize things, not people."

The woman nodded, put away the jade pendant and stopped talking.

Then people came on stage one after another, and the things they wanted to buy and sell were also varied. Many people also gave up the opportunity to go on stage.

Most of them, like Li Qingyun, came here with the mentality of trying their luck, but sadly discovered that with their limited financial resources, they didn't even have the chance to get a bargain.

Just as the duo from the Changle Gang were yawning, the mysterious wealthy woman walked up to the stage and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She didn't talk much and remained dignified and silent most of the time, but her two moves were extraordinary and impressive, and one couldn't help but wonder what treasures she would take out to sell or what she would buy.

Given this rich and willful character, if he could get what she wants, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune?
Therefore, everyone in the field held their breath and listened attentively to what she said.

The woman raised her slender hand and gently moved the wide sleeves of her robe with her slender and elegant fingers. A golden light flickered in the darkness, causing the crowd below the stage to hold their breath.

She slowly took the golden object out of her sleeve, her movements skillful and graceful, full of careful awe, as if she was performing a solemn ceremony.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that the woman took out an exquisite golden tablet, with intricate patterns and ancient characters carved on the surface, as if telling a long-forgotten secret...
