There were not many people on the helicopter who could go up at one time, and after a while, the helicopter rose into the air with a roar of propellers and flew out quickly in one direction.
This is the first time in my life to take a helicopter, visually more intuitive, the speed is also very fast, this feeling is more exciting than the feeling of being a civil airliner, taking a civil aviation is to take off and land when you need to wear a seat belt, other times there is no feeling.
The helicopter took us a dozen or so people out of the city area quickly, and flew towards the desert in the distance, the speed was getting faster and faster, and it didn't take long for us to enter the transition zone between the plain and the desert, below is the desolate Gobi Desert, and continue to go ahead is the big desert.
Not to mention, there is a different kind of magnificence when looking at the desert from this angle, but I also know that the desert is the desert, except for some extremely strong species that can survive in the desert, there is basically sand left here......
The helicopter flew into the desert for more than 20 minutes, and there seemed to be a touch of green on the horizon, and as it approached, an oasis appeared in the desert, which did not seem to be very large, with a look of two square kilometers, and there seemed to be a small lake in it, nourishing all the life in the oasis.
The helicopter came directly above the oasis, began to descend slowly, and finally stopped on an open field on the oasis, the pilot turned around and gestured to us that we could get off the plane, so we jumped off one by one, and then the helicopter took off in a roar, and quickly departed in the direction from which it came.
I looked at everything in curiosity, the vegetation was lush all around, and not far away I could see black-robed people standing together in twos and threes, just like the people on our plane, they didn't wear cloaks or robes, and they wore all sorts of strange masks.
At this time, a beautiful woman in uniform came over and nodded slightly to the dozen or so of us: "Welcome to everyone, the auction will start at ten o'clock in the morning, you can walk around here at will, if you have any needs, you can ask, or go to the front desk for consultation." She turned and gestured into the distance, then bowed slightly to our group and turned to leave.
When I was in the air before, I saw that there was a building in the oasis, the building was a one-story large house, it looked quite large, and it was easy to accommodate hundreds of people, as for what was inside, in Li Dadi's words, it was a circular auction hall.
Lao Wang said, "Let's go, let's go to the rest area and wait, the rest area is on the opposite side of the house." Lao Wang raised his hand and pointed to the auction hall, and then I and the earth walked towards that side together.
There were a lot more people around than I saw in the banquet hall yesterday, and now I can see that all the people except the staff are covered up, and I don't know what will happen in this auction.
Along the way, many people are talking together in twos and threes, and they can't hear what they say, although it is in the outside environment, but everyone's conversation is very small, and they will not be next to each other, at least ten meters away from each other, all of them are a posture that people are not close.
I was curiously looking at everything here, and suddenly I felt a little reaction to the yin and yang token in my palm, so I stopped and felt it carefully for a while, and then I followed the footsteps of Lao Wang and Li Dadi.
"What's wrong?" asked Wang.
I said, "There's something looking for me down there." ”
"Huh?" Lao Wang paused and asked, "Don't you hurry, right?"
"The response is not big, it shouldn't be urgent. I said.
"Well, let's go back after the auction. Lao Wang said.
When I passed by the auction hall, I turned my head to look inside the inner door, and I didn't see anything special, and there was no one to guard it, it seemed that I could go in and out at will now, and there were already some black-robed people walking inside.
Soon we came to the rest area, which was very well placed, with seats, and many places around were placed with drinks and snacks and barbecue and other food, which could be enjoyed casually.
"Hey, I knew we should have come here for breakfast. Li Dadi said with a smile.
"Most of the people who come here are resting, and basically not many people want to eat here. Lao Wang said.
I was a little curious: "Why?"
"Maybe it's not convenient to dress like we are to eat? "Lao Wang doesn't seem to understand this kind of behavior very well, so he can only give this explanation, anyway, it's 'following the customs', everyone is like this, and we are just like that, so as not to be 'brilliant'.
It's true that it's not easy to eat with this mask, but with a big cloak and hat, you won't let others see you when you eat, and anyway, we're not here to eat, but mainly to participate in the so-called auction.
As time passed, the number of people who came to this small oasis was slowly increasing, and the people who came were basically by helicopter, and of course there were special existences.
Just five minutes ago, a man rushed in from the west, and the speed was very fast, and a phantom flashed, and he had already appeared in this rest area, but after a slight pause, the original strength suit had already been draped in a wide robe, covering his entire appearance.
I'm very curious about this, the old Wang on the side said that this kind of people are lone rangers, and they usually come alone after knowing the news, of course, they usually come by themselves when they are not far away, otherwise it is more convenient to take the transportation of the owner.
In addition to the large group of people wearing robes, cloaks and masks like us, there were two groups of people in the middle, a group of people with a long sword behind their backs, a look of fairy wind bones, and a group of people who were like urban office workers, none of them used robes or masks, all of them looked like Chinese people, but they should all be the existence of the same force.
As the time approached ten o'clock, a radio sound sounded in the oasis: "Visitors can enter the venue now, find their favorite seats, and please abide by the order of the venue a little, do not cause unnecessary conflicts, thank you for your cooperation." ”
When I heard this, I was immediately happy, and whispered: "Hey, I said that the people here are still afraid that someone will make trouble." ”
Lao Wang smiled: "No, although the strength of the organizer is not low, and there are many people, but there are more people here, and any conflict will generally involve at least two or three forces, and the last thing the organizer wants to see is to fight here, well, in the oasis." If you go outside, they won't care what you look like, anyway, it has nothing to do with people. ”
Maybe this field is like this, just like the code of conduct in the martial arts world, talk with a big fist, just don't make trouble on other people's territory, some simple, some rough.
In a word, try to keep a low profile, and there will generally be no problem.
The people around us began to walk towards the auction hall, and the three of us followed the large crowd into the auction hall.
Inside is a semi-circular auction hall, because there is no need to line up or anything, and there are only two or three hundred seats, which is not a lot, so you can see it clearly regardless of whether you sit in front of you or sit in the back.
"Go to the front?" "Habitual thinking makes me think that the seat in front of me looks good.
Lao Wang waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the seat closest to the door, Li Dadi pulled me: "This way." ”
After the last three seats were seated, Lao Wang said that it was very convenient to sit in the back.
The people in the oasis soon gathered in the auction hall, and the auction hall with only two or three hundred seats was almost seated in an instant, and only a few dozen were left empty, and those who came together sat together in groups, and let them sit wherever they liked.
The doors of the auction hall were not going to be closed, and there was no wind in this great desert oasis today, only the dazzling sun shrouded the earth.
An old man with a white beard walked quickly on the auction table, and he said with a smile: "Hello everyone, meet again, thank you first of all......"
Taking advantage of his words, Lao Wang also briefly introduced this person to me, the person standing on the stage at this time is one of the representatives of the auctioneer, the specific ability is unknown, Lao Wang has come here very many times, so he doesn't know much, Li Dadi has only been here once.
After the old man spoke on the stage for a while, he announced that the auction had officially begun, and I heard him say that the auction lasted quite long, six hours, but if you want to leave halfway, you can get up and leave directly, of course, people are not responsible for sending people back at the specified time, and if you want to take a helicopter back, you must wait until six o'clock in the afternoon.
The old man walked out, and a neatly dressed female auctioneer walked up to the stage, nodded slightly to everyone, and then stood behind the auction table, and then a staff member pushed a trolley, which was covered with a red cloth.
The trolley was pushed to the center of the auction table, and the auctioneer gently tapped the auction hammer in his hand, and the crisp sound instantly stopped the sound of small introductions in the venue.
"Please be calm, let's get started. The auctioneer glanced at everyone and continued: "According to the practice of previous years, the first thing to be auctioned is the organizer's items, and this year, the organizer took out the Qinghong Healing Pill, which is mainly used to treat internal injuries, and it is a second-grade intermediate pill, which is very precious. There are a total of five bottles, five bottles in a bottle, divided into five auctions, according to the convention, the starting price is not set, but please do not increase the price less than one million each time, which is considered a benefit to everyone. ”
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of discussion in the venue again, but this time the auctioneer did not stop it, but just smiled and said: "Now start auctioning a bottle of Qinghong Healing Pill, the starting price is 0, and friends in need can start bidding." ”
"Five million. As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, a man sitting in the front row held up a small sign and said.
Although he said five million, it sounded like he was buying a cabbage, and he didn't feel like he was buying a bag of chewing gum for a few dollars.
"Six million. ”
"Fifteen million. ”
After only three quotations, the third directly raised the price to 15 million, which is really unseen by ordinary people, so it seems that the billion we brought here does not seem to have a great value here.
"That's amazing. I muttered.
Li Dadi smiled, "Look at it, this is just the beginning, the value of this elixir should be at least twenty or thirty million." ”
Lao Wang nodded: "That's right, the pills that generally appear in the world now are one, two, and three grades, and each grade of pills will be divided into low, medium and high grades, and when it comes to the fourth-grade pills, heh, the one billion we have on hand is estimated to be not very interested." ”
"So valuable?" I said, shocked.
Li Dadi: "That's it, do you think it's the same inside? Alchemists are all treasures in it, and it's amazing in the real world, how difficult it is to find materials now, so generally the first-grade pills are the most popular, the second-grade ones are used as life-savers, the third-grade ones are all treasures, and the fourth-grade ones, heh, there are really few people." ”
"How many products are the best elixirs?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know about that. Li Dadi shook his head.
Lao Wang followed and said: "The highest-grade pill I have ever seen is also here, the five-grade low-grade realm breaking pill, the general effect is to improve personal strength, similar to pulling seedlings, but the effect should be very fierce." However, at that time, there was a joke because of this elixir, and in the end, the seller left the market early with the elixir, which was a lone ranger. ”
"It's usually people who make a lot of money in silence to come up with such a shocking thing. Li Dadi smiled, "There are a lot of natural treasures we brought this time, if we meet someone we like, we will try to take it down, at least it can be regarded as improving our strength for ourselves, and it is also the main purpose of our coming here this time." ”
Lao Wang nodded in agreement, reminded me, and said: "Don't be too surprised or anything, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and it will save others from treating us as soft persimmons, which will be bad." ”
I nodded, "Understood." ”
After speaking, when I looked up at the auction table, I saw the auctioneer holding the auction hammer and pointing at a person and saying: "No. 87 bid 25.55 million, is there anything higher? 25.55 million for the first time......
"Tsk, do we want to buy a bottle?" Li Dadi asked in a low voice.
Lao Wang pondered for a moment and said: "It can be the best, I heard that the effect of this elixir is very good, and the general internal injury can be solved with one piece, at that time on the island you were beaten by a lynx and had internal injuries, is it not over yet?"
Li Dadi smiled bitterly: "Almost, but it's basically good." ”
"Then buy it, compete for the second and third bottles, a total of five bottles, and don't grab the third bottle if you can't grab it. Lao Wang said.
"Isn't there five bottles?" I asked.
Li Dadi pulled me: "Stupid you, there are so many people here, the more intense the back, but the front is not so intense." ”
