I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 227 Mr. Mo is dead?
  The holy ship sailed on the sea.

As the thunder field approaches, the blue sea surface becomes turbulent, the sky and the earth are dyed ink black, and there are continuous showers.

Flashes of lightning flashed overhead from time to time, and thinking about yesterday's sudden changes, a solemn feeling of impending doom weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

But even at this moment, the auction on the holy ship was still held as scheduled.

Perhaps it was to raise funds for the operation of the holy ship.

There are 110 guests. Those who are willing to give face can come here. Those who are not willing to give face can stay in the room to recharge their batteries. There are no hard requirements.

But after all, it is the auction of the Holy Ship, and there are many good things. If you are bored, you can still come and take a look.

Especially this time, a valuable treasure was born.

"I heard that a first-class secret book of martial arts is going to be auctioned."

"Really? How did I hear that it is a map of a certain treasure?"

"Tsk, can a treasure map be as valuable as a first-class secret book?"

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that it is the Yuhua Immortal Mansion of the Taoist Patriarch. There are countless treasures in it!"

"..."

As soon as he entered the meeting hall, he heard a lot of chatter around him.

It seems that Jian Zheng did spread some news and wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, but he didn't know the value of this treasure and whether it could attract the enemy's attention.

Cao An scanned around and found that most of the people in the venue were wearing masks. There were too many secrets in this world and no one wanted to make them too public.

On the contrary, the eldest son of the Bu family is quite active at the moment.

Those who can board the ship are not ordinary people. As a businessman, he naturally has to build good relationships. Judging from the small circle he has formed, it seems that he knows a lot of people.

When he discovered Cao An's arrival, Bu Yesheng's eyes lit up and he waved to say hello: "Brother Cao, Miss Ying, you two are also coming to the auction! Come, come and sit here."

Bu Ye's promotion is quite naughty, but as a businessman, this is normal. At least his communication skills at this moment are still of some use to Cao An, as he can find out some information.

Cao An took advantage of the situation and walked over. There were many people in the small circle who had heard of his name. In an instant, several people bowed their hands in greeting.

"I heard that Cao Shuixiu of the Daxing Dynasty was the best detective in the world. I am lucky enough to meet him today. I am lucky to meet him."

"Everywhere, it's just a false name."

Cao An's tepid responses were all superficial and insignificant.

However, in this small circle, the slovenly Qiao Moumou appeared, which made Cao An a little curious.

Seeing Cao An coming and going, the man smiled slightly: "Qiao Shigong, a country man, brother Cao, we met yesterday."

"Of course, thank you Brother Qiao for the reminder yesterday."

"Oh~ You're welcome. That woman Su She doesn't look like a serious girl. Even if I don't warn her, Brother Cao will definitely be wary. Thank you very much."

As soon as this person finished speaking, Cao An didn't even have time to answer, when he saw a small snake on the ground and bit him in the calf.

"Ah! Su She, what are you doing!" Qiao Shigong exclaimed in fright, his right leg shook, and he used a burst of strength to save the calf from the snake's mouth.

As for Suther, this one stopped hiding. He slowly walked out of the shadows, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at this person with a gloomy look.

"Why are you asking me? You're really tired of talking bad about me behind my back for nothing!"

Qiao Shigong's strength seemed to be extraordinary. There was no fear on his face when he was targeted by this female viper.

He shrugged and said, "Isn't what I said the truth? I keep pestering other people's Taoist girls, and I don't know what their special hobbies are."

"You still have the nerve to accuse me. You were sneaky last night and wanted to set fire to the boat. You had bad intentions."

"I set fire to the boat? Are you crazy? I just lit some weeds... Wait, how did you know my whereabouts last night?"

"We met by chance."

"What a coincidence? You didn't go around breaking doors in the middle of the night and saw me, right?"

"..."

The quarrel between these two people made everyone laugh. I'm afraid they are also old rivals in Dongzhou. "I'm a little curious, everyone seems to know me?" Cao An looked at the people around him a little strangely.

Su Se overheard his identity yesterday, so he simply didn't bother to hide it and took off his mask. He didn't expect so many people to know about him.

Compared with Daxing, who are mainly martial arts cultivators and reject the demon clan, there are naturally more monks mixed with demon blood on Dongzhou, so most of the people on the ship are visitors from Dongzhou.

It's just a little strange that these people seem to have heard of his name?
  "Of course I have heard of it. It is said that Brother Cao can cut off yin and yang with one glance. [Qi-gazing Technique] has reached its peak."

Aura? It turned out that it was the lie that caused the trouble.

Cao An cursed secretly in his head, and then realized that the name he spread was not about his great achievements at all, but the skills he boasted.

Rather than judging one's status based on merit in Daxingye, in Dongzhou, where the sect stood tall, one judged one's level on the basis of cultivation.

Although everyone talks to praise his name, the only deed that is truly worthy of crossing the Thunder Territory and flowing into the East Continent is his miraculous [Qi-Wang Technique].

The open words can be said to have shortened the distance between each other. Everyone chatted without a word, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Cao An gradually discovered that not all of Dongzhou was hostile to Daxing.

It seems that only some Taoist sects want revenge and Daxing?

It's worth looking into.

"Dingling bell~"

"Dear guests, please take your seats. The auction will begin soon." Deputy Zhou walked up to the stage and greeted everyone politely.

As the surrounding night pearls light up, the maritime auction under the dark clouds is about to begin.

Cao An sat next to Bu Yesheng, smiled and joked: "I haven't seen you in the past two days, so I went to make friends. Judging from your expression, I have gained a lot!"

For a businessman, making friends is the most important thing. Seeing the smile on this man's face, I am afraid he has met many noble people.

Buyesheng waved his hand, took a leisurely sip of tea, leaned on the chair and let out a sigh of relief.

"Brother Cao is laughing at me. How can I gain anything? I just completed a commission."

"Entrustment?" Cao An was stunned: "You came to the ship with an entrustment?"

"That's natural."

Bu Yesheng looked around to see if there was no one around, and whispered in his ear: "I quietly told Brother Cao, don't tell anyone! The ticket in my hand is actually a reward for entrustment."

"Remuneration? Why entrust such a large reward?"

"It's just a help, bringing a batch of goods on board, it's no big deal."

"So Easy?"

"That's right! So at first, like Brother Cao, I was worried that there would be something fishy. No, I was very frightened in the first few days before boarding the ship."

Bu Yesheng seems to be in a good mood. He completed the commission yesterday and it was safe and sound. He really got the commission right.

Now that I am debt-free and light-weight, I can leisurely go to the Holy Land of the Monster Clan, and maybe I can dig out a piece of Monster Jade, which will make me rich.

Picking up the tea bowl, Bu Yesheng began to enjoy his wonderful sea journey.

But Cao An was different. He knew very clearly that the ship was surrounded by dangers at this moment.

If the mysterious person who sent the summons is the enemy seeking the Holy Ship, I'm afraid this matter will not be that simple.

Cao An snapped his fingers and summoned a servant: "Go, help me send a message to Mr. Mo, saying that there is something urgent and I need to see him soon."

Cao An felt that the plan to lure the snake out of the hole should be slowed down a little. At least he should ask clearly about the content of the commission executed by Bu Yesheng and eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible.

But before he could ask, the boy ran back two steps, followed by the ugly-looking First Officer Zhou.

"Mr. Cao, something happened."

"What's the matter?"

"Old Mo, he's dead."
