Chapter 81: The First Sight
The western part of the city is the commercial center of the city, with its many shops and popularity. Those who are qualified to open a store, even if it is a stall, have more or less some background. Over time, there is a tacit equilibrium that stability leads to prosperity. As a result, the streets of the area are often crowded with people.
On this day, the spring was warm and the climate was pleasant, and the small streets where Chu Tian was strolling were more crowded than usual. After receiving the Yuan Shi and having enough money, Chu Tian ordered Xiao Yue to go out to inquire about the news and learned that the items he needed would be sold at the Silver Axe Auction.
After waiting for a few days, the date of the auction finally arrived, leaving Xuanlin in the care of Xiao Yue, and rushed to the auction hall without hurry.
On the side of the road, you can see the aunt bargaining with the vegetable vendor, the diner swaying out of the restaurant drunk, and the lady picking and choosing the pendant. But Chutian's attention was focused on weapons and medicines, and in order to attract customers, the shouts of the vendors were endless.
"The iron sword, forged by fine iron, is a sharp weapon for killing fierce beasts and defeating the enemy. ”
"Green steel clothes, wearing this clothes, safety is more guaranteed. ”
"Red blood pills, after taking it, your strength has skyrocketed, and it is not a problem to crush the same level, and you can raise your eyebrows in front of the girl. ”
......
The ingenious introduction attracted a lot of attention, and some young people stopped to see the red blood pill, the young man's heart and blood are strong, who doesn't want to step on the top of the people, and smile at the people?
This kind of weapon pill, Chu Tian looked at it and stopped lingering, but picked a few miscellaneous items. It's a child of a family, and the street stalls are not attractive in the slightest.
Wearing the costumes of the clan, attracting the awe of passers-by and the favor of meeting beautiful women, in the midst of many envious eyes, he took a shortcut and turned a few streets and alleys one after another, and walked for a while on the spacious avenue to arrive at the auction site.
It is a magnificent attic, with only three floors, each of which is several times the size of a bungalow, and the actual height is not low, covering an extremely wide area, comparable to a small square, and visually spectacular and majestic. The whole attic is made of large stones, which gives people a sense of barrenness.
Looking up, the signboard of "Silver Axe Auction House" is extremely eye-catching, not written in pen and ink, purely carved with sharp things, the handwriting goes deep into the hard stone bricks, and it is not very beautiful, but there is a kind of killing atmosphere faintly coming, and looking at it is a chill in the heart.
There were people coming and going at the entrance, and there were many people who were well-cultivated, but no one dared to cause trouble, so they honestly took out the entrance fee and handed it to the guards who guarded the door.
Warriors are unruly, and there is a reason why they are so well-behaved. Where the auction house was established, when the Wild Martial Arts Hall participated in the bidding, the bully wanted to take other people's items. Its Changchen madness is a transformation realm, and he has always been used to it, openly challenging the auction rules.
As a result, their group was stopped on the spot, and Chen Mad was also chased to death by the Huagang Realm in the auction town. The corpse was left in the sun at the entrance for three days as a warning to those who entered. The once-prominent Martial Arts Pavilion was destroyed in an instant.
Since then, people have always been in awe when they come here, and they have always followed the iron rule of the auction, which is "the highest bidder wins". It is as strong as the three major families, and when they can't figure out the bottom, they are all afraid of three points.
Fortunately, the auction house was intended to be a trader, and it never did anything out of the ordinary, and it was at peace with the local forces for many years.
Standing at the door and groaning slightly, Chu Tian took out the black hat he had just bought and put it on his head, the black veil drooping in front of the brim of his hat covered his appearance, and he took out the black robe and put it on his body to cover the Caiyun clan emblem on his body. With this dress, even if Chu Yun was here, he wouldn't dare to recognize him.
When he walked to the door, he was stopped by the guard's outstretched arms, and his deep voice sounded undoubtedly, "Please pay the entrance fee, a yuan stone." ”
No matter how you dress, regardless of your identity, as long as you pay the fee, you are a distinguished guest, and if you refuse to pay, you will be driven away, and the Silver Axe Auction House only recognizes money.
There was a pain in his heart, Chu Tian was not ambiguous in his hand, and hurriedly took out the yuan stone and handed it to this person. A yuan stone, that is ten gold coins, enough for civilians to support their families for a long time, here is just the entrance fee.
"Please come in. With a stylized smile on his face, the guard pulled his palms in, bent down slightly, and invited him in. Apparently well trained, he is impeccable in his speech and demeanor.
Chu Tian nodded slightly, pressed the brim of his hat, and slowly walked into the arena with the flow of people. When we arrived at the waiting area, most of the seats had been occupied, and the flow of people continued to pour in, scrambling to find a seat to sit down. After drinking the tea brought by the waitress, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by a loud noise, and the flow of people at the entrance automatically separated, among which a group of young people, both men and women, with extraordinary temperaments, glanced around, all with superior disdain. The placket is embroidered with ice patterns, which is the family emblem of the Song family.
The person at the head is handsome and noble, his immature face is arrogant and indifferent, there seems to be a cold air lingering around his body, and his yuan power fluctuates extremely strongly, and his cultivation has reached the level of Yun Qi realm. At this time when the weather is suitable, the folding fan slowly swayed, attracting many admiring eyes.
Among the three most outstanding members of the younger generation in Split Rock City, Song Yu was the youngest, only more than fifteen. At the beginning, it was only one year before Qiling stood out from many juniors in the clan. This kind of talent is unrivaled today, and only Chu Yun more than ten years ago can compare with it.
However, the past glory of the expired genius is not worth talking about, and what people are most talking about now is how far this jade prince can go in the future. It can be said that this person has high hopes from the people of the city, and with such talent, he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future, so that the locals will show their faces fiercely in front of the nearby city.
In addition, the girl in the green dress beside Song Yu attracted a lot of attention. The eyes under the willow eyebrows are black and white, the sharp chin and melon seed face, and the eye expression is slightly mean, which makes the man crazy even more, but no one dares to put his imagination into action.
Because she is Song Jingjing, the sister of Yu Gongzi. If you are a little presumptuous, you will definitely be bombarded into slag. Beauty is precious, but the price of a small life is even higher.
Seeing these people coming in, the auction house arranged for the steward to receive them in person. First, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and always has to give some face to the old forces. The three major families have strong financial resources and have many business dealings with them. Therefore, if the children of the clan abide by the rules, the auction house has always been particularly favorable.
The steward came with a smile on his face, and after a while of greetings, he was very polite The children of the Song family introduced the small room around to wait, in which the service was more thoughtful than the waiting area. Seeing these people enter, Chu Tian retracted his gaze and thought secretly, but at this time, these people came in groups, and they wouldn't be running towards the same goal as themselves.
After a while, there was another movement at the door. With everyone's eyes, Chu Tian showed a look of surprise on his face. I saw a person in front of him, handsome, smiling kindly, with a sword hanging obliquely from his waist, who was it not Chu Feiyang? He was followed by a group of people, embroidered with the cloud clan emblem on the front placket, all of whom were followers of the clan.
Chu Tian's black robe was added, Chu Feiyang couldn't recognize himself, and as soon as he bowed his hand to the lively people, he led everyone and was introduced into the room by another steward.
"No, it won't. Chu Tian muttered to himself with a sad face, and an ominous premonition gradually rose from his heart.
"Obediently, first Song Yu, then Chu Feiyang, why did the two of them appear together, what's going on?" A person nearby expressed puzzlement, and Chu Tian hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen to him.
"Hey, don't you know, dude, in this auction, there will be Fire Leaf Spirit Lotus sold. His friend muttered in a low voice, he didn't want others to eavesdrop, he didn't want Chu Tian to have a very keen sense of hearing, and he heard it clearly.
"No wonder even the Song and Liu families sent people here, they must have wanted to take this thing into their pockets. ”
"Of course, who doesn't want one more disciple to advance to the Yunqi realm. ”
"The three major families are scrambling, that scene, tsk, there will be a good show to watch later. ”
"I bet Liu Feng is already on his way and will arrive at the scene immediately. I guess I can't miss any of these good things. ”
......
Hearing this, Chu Tian's whole heart was cold, he thought that this matter was confidential, and he didn't want to make a storm in the city. That's right, Xiao Yue can listen to the news without effort, and with the means of the three major families, how can she not know. Most of the news was deliberately leaked by the auction house, creating a good momentum in advance and attracting many people, so that the price of the auction item could be raised.
Soon, a group of Liu family members embroidered with mountains on the front rushed over, and the first young man was tall and imposing, and he learned from others that this person was Liu Feng, and his reputation was like thunder.
Seeing his dignity for the first time, Chu Tian didn't feel fortunate in three lives, and his face was even more bitter, and this time he was afraid that he would return empty-handed.
After that, the flow of people continued to pour in, some sat in the waiting area, and the figures with heads and faces were ushered into small rooms to wait. As time progressed, the number of people grew.
When the seats in the waiting area were almost filled, the majestic bell rang throughout the audience. The door of the auction hall was pushed open, and several guards walked out of it, guarding on both sides, with a calm breath and a majestic demeanor with their hands pressed on their swords.
As is customary, the bell rings to indicate that the auction is about to begin. The guards kept order, letting the VIPs in the room first, and then it was the turn of the ordinary people in the waiting area.
In an instant, the ground shook slightly, and a large number of people rushed in, and under the cover of the black robe, Chu Tian entered the hall inside. Once the entrance is complete, the gate closes and the auction is about to begin.
