Strange mountains and rivers

The leader of Yuelu Sect was stunned and couldn't believe it.

What's going on? What happened?

A blue bighead carp with bright flowers, even if it is a little bigger, is more like a good omen and has a bit of symbolic meaning. Why does someone from Da Zhao want to buy it?

Today is not the time for the sect from Da Zhao to come to purchase, and they have never been notified before.

This green bighead carp with brilliant flowers was only entrusted for consignment because the fisherman who was consigning it was busy leaving for business. He heard that it would be time for visitors from the Tang Dynasty to purchase it in three days.

The price is not outrageous, it’s only two thousand spiritual stones. After all, it’s so big, and it’s very festive.

To be honest, he even thought it was expensive.

The spiritual energy of the brilliant blue bighead carp is not as good as that of precious fish species such as the golden-ridged naked carp and the silver fire sturgeon. Most of them are bought by some sects to provide food supplements to ordinary disciples. Most of the middle and high-level sects will not eat this kind of spiritual fish.

As the director of the Donghe Fish Market arranged by the Yuelu Sect, although he is only a high-level Qi Refiner, he is still very familiar with the general affairs and knows the value of these spiritual fish. It is difficult to imagine that a bright blue bighead carp can cause a huge sect. interest.

He subconsciously felt that there must be something weird here, but for a while he didn't know what the reason was that made the sects from Da Zhao come to the door at this time.

It suddenly occurred to me that the consignment fisherman also mentioned that he could get a good price by selling to merchants from Datang. Is this really because he wants to sell it at a good price, or is he selling it to specific customers?

But at that time, the fisherman didn't seem to clearly say who he wanted to sell to. He only said that selling to customers from Datang would be the most cost-effective.

There seems to be some doubts here. If the fishermen really made an agreement with someone, the other party would be able to buy the bighead carp at a higher price. Could this be a deliberate trap? A bridge being exploited in a daze?

The question is, what is the point of such a trick?

If this fisherman wants to sell it to someone, or even give it to someone, who can stop him?

Wouldn't it be enough to just give it to the target directly?

The chief officer immediately turned his attention to the monk who had not intervened in these daily affairs, a monk named Du from the Yuelu Sect of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. After hesitating for a moment, he walked to the other party and reported the situation in his ear.

Du Xingzong did not expect to encounter such a thing.

Of course he knew about the Green Bighead Carp, a kind of spiritual fish with a large output but average aura. It was not often purchased by large sects or sects, but it was preferred by small and medium-sized sects and aristocratic families.

Because of their large size, some of these spiritual fish can even live to be more than a hundred years old. For example, the green bighead carp that is over a hundred years old is quite large, even weighing two hundred kilograms.

Although the green bighead carp in front of me looks like it weighs a hundred or dozens of kilograms, it is definitely not a spiritual object that has become a perfect spirit. Even if it has Yuan Dan, it cannot be of much value. What value can it have? Did everyone from the Great Zhao Sect come here to buy it?

Both the young man in the white shirt and the tall man noticed something unusual. It was originally a simple procedure for selling bighead carps with flowers, and the business of two or three thousand spiritual stones was not worth mentioning, but why did the other party's expression look so weird? Becoming hesitant?

"Mr. Zhang, this bighead carp is big enough and in good condition. Our eldest grandson family is planning to buy a suitable sacrifice for our Mid-Autumn Festival. This is a good thing. We plan to buy it. Please give us a price. , As long as the price is reasonable, we will buy it." The tall man in brocade robe said immediately without hesitation.

Manager Zhang immediately looked at Du Xingzong and handed over the decision-making power to Du Xingzong.

Du Xingzong was still thinking about the fishiness involved, but the sects in the Tang Dynasty were all big customers, and they couldn't afford to offend them. If they opened their mouths, even if there was some sect inside, it had nothing to do with the Yuelu Sect, so there was no need to get involved. After a slight hesitation, he said: "This is a fisherman who entrusted us to sell it. He originally priced it at two thousand spiritual stones. Of course, the one with the highest price will get it..."

Before Du Xingzong could finish his words, the white-shirted young man had already interjected: "I'm sorry, the Yuwen family also has this intention. This year is the 500th anniversary of the Yuwen family's move to Chang'an, so there is an urgent need for all kinds of auspicious things to celebrate, so I came to purchase this spiritual fish on the orders of my family. Our Yuwen family bought it for three thousand spiritual stones!"

"Haha, your Yuwen family is the only one who is domineering?" Changsun Wuhen, the tall man, said with a cold gaze, "The Changsun family wants five thousand spiritual stones."

Before the young man in white shirt could bargain, he heard a burst of noise from the other end of the fish market, and several people walked quickly from the other end of the market.

After a "huh", a voice like a bell was heard: "I heard that today I have a blue bighead carp with bright flowers. It is very big and looks very good. It is very suitable for worshiping ancestors during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is rare. Our Tianyun Sect is going to hold a worship ceremony soon, so I just came along to show you what this colorful bighead carp looks like, haha, is this the only one?"

The person who came was very carefree and energetic, and his eyes fell directly on the colorful blue bighead carp in the fish pond.

"Brother Du, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm sorry to bother you today."

Du Xingzong was shocked and confused.

This person is a foundation-building monk from Tianyun Sect, at the ninth level of foundation-building. He has met him a few times, and his surname is Sun, but he is not someone who specializes in buying fish.

There was another guy who was on alert that he had met twice before. He was from the Vientiane Sect. He didn't even know his last name. He was at the eighth level of foundation building and had similar strength to himself. Why did he appear here at this time?

The problem is that none of these people have ever come to the fish market to trade before, so that was handled by the people below who specialize in general affairs.

"Brother Sun, Du is so polite. I didn't expect Brother Du to come to Donghe at this time, but Du remembers that the transaction time with Guizong should be next month, right?"

Du Xingzong was already sure that something must have happened. He gave a look to the men next to him to invite Senior Brother Qian from Donghe Fort immediately, and smiled calmly.

The people from Datang obviously had problems too.

In the past, several stewards came, but this time they were all important disciples of the Yuwen clan and the Changsun clan. Although the other one did not identify himself, if he guessed correctly, he should be an important figure in the Yuan clan.

They are all characters above Foundation Establishment. They have never been here before, but today they all arrived.

Da Zhao and Da Tang were both big figures.

Just because of this bighead carp with brilliant flowers, if you say there are no ghosts here, who would believe it?

The two sects within the Tang Dynasty have already begun to fight, as well as the two sects of the Great and Zhao sects.

Especially the person named Sun, who undoubtedly heard the fight between the Yuwen family and the Changsun family, made it clear that he also wanted to win the bighead carp, completely ignoring the Yuwen family and the Changsun family. There is, and there is a guy from the Vientiane Sect watching eagerly from the side.

Something is definitely going on.

"Brother Du, I told you, I came to the Donghe Fish Market by the way, and happened to encounter such a good-quality blue bighead carp. I was very happy to see it, so the Tianyun Sect wanted this green bighead carp. "The monk surnamed Sun said in an unquestionable tone, "Eight thousand spiritual stones!"

"Ten thousand!" The look in the white-shirted young man's eyes became even colder, "There has to be a first-come-first-served basis, right?"

"Yes, there should be a first-come, first-served basis!" Changsun Wuhen looked at the monk surnamed Sun with a fierce look in his eyes, "Why, the majesty of the Great Zhao has come to Jinzhou? Fifteen thousand!"

In an instant, the price increased to fifteen thousand spirit stones. Du Xingzong was dumbfounded and did not dare to make a decision.

Normally, these fifteen thousand spiritual stones would be enough to sell ten pieces of blue bighead carp with similar appearance. Is this crazy?

Obviously not, but it doesn't seem to make sense if it's Qi.

The Changsun family and the Yuwen family could barely make sense, but why did the Great Zhao Tianyun Sect join in and interfere?

It doesn't make sense.

But the monk surnamed Sun was certain in his heart that the news he had received should be correct. There was a treasure in the belly of this splendid green bighead carp!

Although the information he received was unclear, it only said that the green bighead carp was temporarily stored in the Donghe Fish Market, and a wealthy family of the Tang Dynasty came to pick it up. There was something related to the destiny of the country and the country hidden in the belly of the fish, whether it was a family or a clan. The door will be regarded as a jade.

This news sounds mysterious and mysterious. It doesn't sound like it's something like a demon beast Yuan Dan or a spiritual treasure. If it is really of this type, it wouldn't be so pretentious, so the monk surnamed Sun didn't dare to report it without verification. To the sect, I brought my people here to check it out.

Now it seems that there is indeed something mysterious in the belly of this bighead carp.

Fortunately, he had already sent someone to inform the sect before he came, telling the news, but he didn't worry that the news wouldn't be spread back.

"The Great Zhao Sect does not show off its power, but it is still qualified to come to Hebei." The monk surnamed Sun was sure that there was something wrong with this fish, and he refused to give in: "Twenty thousand spiritual stones, the Qingdao Tianyun Sect is determined."

Changsun Wuhen was worried. If he continued with this attitude, the other party would never give in.

Now it is no longer a matter of the price of the spirit stone, but the other party is obviously aware of the problem. Unexpectedly, this news will be leaked. Not only the Yuwen family also knows, but also Da Zhao. What should we do now?

"Master Du, what do you say? Are you going to let an outsider break the rules of your Donghe Fishing Ground? How can we in Datang trust your credibility in the future?"

Du Xingzong is also aware of the difficulty. Now he can only delay the situation by delaying the attack and wait until Senior Brother Qian arrives before he can reason.

"Don't be anxious, everyone. This green bighead carp is not a great spiritual fish. It's really not good enough. I will immediately send someone to go to the fish market to search for it. I will definitely find a few more that are not inferior to this fish. Don't worry. ,..."

Before Du Xingzong could finish his words, Changsun Wuhen had already flatly refused: "I only want this one, and whoever wants the rest belongs to them!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that the problem still lay with the broken-flowered bighead carp, not with the fish itself like the brilliant-flowered bighead carp.

Du Xingzong wished he could see through this fish in the fish pond and find out what the secret was, but now...

Just when a group of people were in a stalemate, the spiritual sand destined for Feicha's parking lot had been transported out from behind the Yulong Palace. Two carts were slowly moving along the corridor. A foundation-building monk and several Qi-refining monks were responsible for guarding and escorting them.

In fact, it is only one mile away, and right inside this fish market, there is the Donghe Fort on the mountain, where more than ten foundation-building and Qi-refining monks are stationed, as well as Qian Baichuan, the real person of Zifu, who is stationed there, and Xiao Yiyun Zifu on Feiyun Mountain. Who dares to stroke the tiger's beard?

What they didn't know was that as soon as the Lingsha crashed into the cart and set off from the Yulong Palace, a flying bird ticket was passed out, and Gou Yiwei, who had already been ambushing outside the fence of the fish market on the northeast side, got the news.

Gou Yiwei immediately informed Chen Huaisheng of the news. Chen Huaisheng didn't hesitate at all and immediately waved his hand: "Do it!"
