Chapter 106
Seeing the bright smile on the monk's face, Chu Lan was slightly taken aback.
He has been in the mirage for two years, and he has been living in a simple way. In the previous year, he almost never stepped out of the mirage, and he has been practicing silently.I came out recently because I have something to check.
Two years ago, almost all the people in Xianmen yelled at him, and this was the first time in a long time that he felt the kindness of people in Xianmen.
Chu Lan couldn't help feeling a complicated feeling in his heart. After a moment of silence, he nodded: "Okay, then thank you, big brother."
After saying goodbye to the people on the merchant ship, Chu Lan followed the monks to the mirage against the wind and rain.
After entering the island, the storm was blocked by the barrier.
Chu Lan took a glance and found that there were a lot of people gathered on the island.Such a crowd of people has never been seen before.
As Chu Lan walked toward the mirage, he observed the surroundings. At the same time, he thought in his heart that a few days ago he told Si Mingjue that he was going out for a trip, but Si Mingjue's attitude remained the same as usual, and he didn't mention it.
Does he think it's not important?
Thinking about it, Chu Lan felt that this might be the case.
Others don't know, but Chu Lan knows that Si Mingjue has the blood of an ancient beast, and it's rare to meet a few opponents in the world.
Mirage has been in Sang Conghai for so many years, and Si Mingjue has never lost. Probably in his heart, this is just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
There were many people on the island, and soon a monk who was traveling with Chu Lan ran to get some masks.
Everyone put them on one by one, and Chu Lan saw the man pointing in one direction and said: "I have inquired, the arena is not in the mirage, but over there, let's go there."
Actually, needless to say, Chu Lan was also planning to go there—he could feel the powerful fluctuations of spiritual power faintly coming from that direction, and one of them belonged to Si Mingjue.
There were too many people around, and Chu Lan and the others slowly moved forward along the long street. After walking for a long time, the few people walking together were sweating profusely and kept wiping their hands.
One of them said: "Hey, Brother Duan, aren't you hot?"
Chu Lan used her spiritual power to adjust her body temperature, so she naturally didn't feel hot. He smiled: "I'm born with a low body temperature, so I don't feel hot."
"Oh." The person who asked the question didn't think too much, and they walked for a while, and then they heard warm cheers erupting in front of them.
"We're here." The monk walking in the front said.
Chu Lan raised her head and saw people in front, back, left, and right. Fortunately, the arena was built high enough that even standing here, she could see clearly.
On the stage, Si Mingjue was dressed in a bright yellow brocade suit, holding a jade bone fan in his hand, standing there gracefully.
Opposite him, a young monk stood up from the ground holding a long sword.After the young man bowed to Siming Jue, he walked off the ring.
As the young man left the stage, there was another burst of applause from around.
Someone shouted: "The landlord is mighty!"
"Amazing!"
With Si Mingjue's victory, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively. Si Mingjue, the boss on the high stage, pressed his hand, and the surroundings became quiet.
Si Mingjue said, "Is there anyone else?"
After waiting for a while, but no one responded, Si Mingjue smiled and said, "This competition was supposed to end at dawn today, since no one has stepped forward, then..."
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Si Mingjue announced the end of the competition, a figure jumped onto the high platform.
"I, Xu Yongtian, ask the master of Mirage Tower for advice."
Si Mingjue put away the folding fan in his hand, sighed lightly, and said half-truthfully, "Hey, the host thought he could finally rest. If this continues, I'm really going to die of exhaustion."
Si Mingjue's words made the spectators laugh out loud.
The young man quickly fought against Si Mingjue, his body skills were surprisingly good, and he was able to do a few tricks under Si Mingjue's hands.
Chu Lan looked at it, keenly aware that something was wrong.He took a step forward, and from the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted two small heads with pigtails in a small house not far from the ring.
Those two were the boy who was following Si Mingjue.
With a thought in mind, Chu Lan quietly walked towards that room while the attention of the people around her was on the ring.From a long distance away, he saw the two little boys biting their lips, with worry on their brows.
Chu Lan quietly entered the room, and the two children at the door were startled when they heard footsteps coming from behind.When they saw who it was, their eyes lit up.
"Chu Lan, you are finally back."
The two children surrounded Chu Lan, one on the left and the other on the right, pulling his arm and saying repeatedly: "Chu Lan, please persuade the host. Since the start of the ring, he has not rested for three days. How can this be bearable?" .”
After Chu Lan entered the room, she removed the mask on her face, and couldn't help being startled when she heard this: "Three days?"
His first reaction was that the two boys were too nervous, Si Mingjue, so his statement was a bit exaggerated.
I don't want the two children to nod their heads seriously, "We have been with the host for thousands of years, and we have experienced this kind of occasion several times, and it is the first time to see so many challengers. The host has hardly left the arena for the past three days. come down."
After hearing this, Chu Lan cast her eyes on the ring not far away, and within a short time, another challenger was replaced on the ring.
Chu Lan looked at it for a while, and her slender eyebrows could not help but twist slightly.
Ever since he saw Si Mingjue on the ring just now, he had felt something strange in his heart. Now that he observed it quietly, he found that the spiritual power on Si Mingjue's body was indeed depleted too much, but this situation should not have happened.
Immortal cultivators couldn't possibly be ignorant of Mirage's status. As the owner of Mirage, Si Mingjue, after years of accumulating prestige, why did so many people come forward to challenge him?
Is it because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, or is someone behind the scenes watching the mirage and manipulating this matter?
While Chu Lan was thinking, the challenger on the stage was defeated, but then another person stood up.
As another young man jumped onto the ring, the atmosphere heated up again.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these young people who came to the stage might just be infected by the atmosphere and want to show their skills with enthusiasm, but Chu Lan didn't think so.
Two years ago, Wei Ran and Yun Han taught him a lesson he would never forget. He finally realized how ugly the human heart can be.
After two years of growth, he is no longer the naive and ignorant boy who was willing to believe in all the good things in the world.
Chu Lan's eyes fell on the defeated young man in the crowd just now, and he whispered: "Is there a list of people who will challenge the boss in the past three days?"
The two boys were staring at the arena eagerly, worried enough that they were stunned when they heard Chu Lan speak, and when they realized it, they all had happy smiles on their faces.
"Chu Lan, do you have a solution?"
These two children were Si Mingjue's confidantes, and Chu Lan had known them for a long time during the two years he lived in the mirage.The relationship between them has long been like family.
Seeing the undisguised happiness on the faces of the two children, Chu Lan couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and he nodded slightly.
"Wow, that's great!" The two children cheered a little, and said in unison: "I'm going to get the list now."
The list was quickly sent to Chu Lan.
The strength of Mirage really should not be underestimated. In a short period of time, they not only registered the names of those challengers, but also found out their backgrounds and sects.
Chu Lan quickly scanned the list, and found that things were exactly as he thought, and the number of people challenged was abnormally large.
He folded the list and looked down at the two children beside him: "Can you track down the whereabouts of these people?"
"Of course." The two children nodded confidently.
All guests who enter the mirage will have a sign with a number in their hands, and people in the mirage can keep track of their whereabouts at any time.
They are not worried that these people will throw away the signboard, because without the signboard in hand, these outsiders will be unable to move an inch in the mirage.
Those magic circles and traps could seriously injure them, or even endanger their lives.
"It's the time when Mirage is lively, and those people won't leave until the ring competition is over." A little boy said, "They're all on the island."
Chu Lan smiled and said, "That's very good." He put on the mask again, and started to leave the room, and the two children hurriedly followed.
It didn't take long for Chu Lan to find the people on the list.He was not stupid enough to ask directly, but let the two children hide in the dark, and he used his identity as an "ordinary person" to exchange pleasantries and formulate words.
The group of monks couldn't detect that Chu Lan possessed spiritual power, they only regarded him as a wealthy son who came to see the fun, and they didn't hide anything from him.
After talking with several people on the list, Chu Lan silently retreated to the dark place, where the two children were waiting.
One of the children said: "Chu Lan, do you think there is something wrong with these people? But I look at them quite normal."
Chu Lan's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, which was also where he was puzzled.The few people he met just now, no matter in temperament or conversation, they are not like ordinary people, and their purpose of coming here is also different.
Some people said they wanted to learn more; some wanted to see the gap between themselves and the owner of Mirage House; others wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Si Mingjue.
Chu Lan thought to herself, could it be that she was thinking too much?There's nothing wrong with these people?
In order not to attract the attention of others, the people Chu Lan found were spread out. At this time, he was in the hall on the first floor of the mirage.
Compared with the arena, many people gathered inside the mirage. The lights are bright here, and the dancers and singers on the stage are putting on wonderful performances.
The hall was buzzing with people and there were so many guests coming and going, the world where Chu Lan and the others stood seemed very quiet.
After a moment of silence, a child said, "Chu Lan, should we continue to look for the people on the list?"
She said, looking down at the things in her hands, and then said: "Many of the people on the list are nearby, why don't we go upstairs, there are also casinos..."
Before Xiao Tong finished speaking, he suddenly heard a woman's angry voice from the round platform in the hall.
"This guest asks you to respect yourself. Let go, someone—"
