Chapter 140, Strange Stones
As the two big men struggled to carry a piece of dark red stone that was obviously the size of a basin and had a strange shape on the surface, Zhuang Jie began to introduce: "This is an ancient lava stone, according to the appraisal of Mr. Huang Yinqin, the chief appraiser of this pavilion, there is an ancient demon beast sealed inside, but it is impossible to determine what kind of demon beast it is. The low price is five hundred spirit stones, and the price is increased by fifty spirit stones each time. ”
Suddenly, there was a noise in the audience, and many monks began to discuss.
"Just such an ordinary stone will be sold for five hundred spirit stones, this is too outrageous!"
"Cut, you're too ignorant, haven't you heard Old Man Zhuang say, there is the remains of an ancient demon beast in this stone? Maybe it's a rare demon beast!"
"Ha, you just believe in Old Man Zhuang like that? What if there's nothing in it, isn't it five hundred spirit stones? Or you can shoot it!"
"This ...... , Aren't I not holding the spirit stone in my hand! Next time!"
"Ahh
"It's... I won't tell you!"
"I think it's half and half! This chief appraiser of Dengxian Pavilion is still quite famous, and it is rare for him to lose his level. But I'm afraid that inside this stone is just a worthless garbage monster, this is the key risk issue!"
"Not bad. Lao Yuan's analysis is good, this is purely a gamble, and the probability of losing the bet is quite large. ”
For a while, the entire auction hall was boiling. Zhuang Jie was very anxious when he heard most of the remarks on the stage denying the value of this stone! He was a person with a very good face, and if this stone was lost, he thought that it would be an extremely embarrassing thing, so he thought about it quickly, hoping to come up with something to save this predicament. But it's so easy to figure out in just a few minutes!
With the passage of time, except for a noisy discussion on the scene, no one cared about this stone at all, seeing that the deadline for the auction of items was approaching, Zhuang Jie's heart sank completely, and it seemed that the genre was inevitable.
"If no one really wants it, then I'll reluctantly accept it!Five hundred spirit stones!" At this moment, the sound of quotation sounded in a certain box.
This sound like a heavenly sound suddenly let Zhuang Jie's heart of the hanging stone put down, even if no one raises the price next, this stone is at least auctioned at the reserve price, this situation often happens in the usual auctions, his Zhuang Jie's face is completely preserved, for this bidder he is deeply grateful from the heart!
"Who is it that there are really fools bidding?"
"This person must have a lot of spirit stones, and he is burning in a panic!"
"Maybe he's a man of insight! Why don't we follow him?"
"If I want to follow you, I won't be fooled! Maybe it's just a trust, if I follow up, I will be wronged!"
"Well, my brother has a point, it's better to be safe and don't do it this time. ”
The monks in the audience were talking again.
At the same time, in the box on the third floor, Mo Fei and the other four people all looked at Ye Hong with a dull gaze. "Lao Jiu, I heard you right, was it the price you quoted just now?" After a long time, Mo Fei said anxiously: "Are you okay?
"Thank you for your concern, I know what I'm doing. Ye Hong replied gratefully: "Senior brother has liked to collect strange stones since he was a child, and today it is rare to encounter such a strange one, and I can't help but itch my hands, it's really fine!" For this kind of behavior, which is extremely unsuccessful in the eyes of most monks, he has to make up some reasons, and in fact, the meaning of bidding for this stone is that Yin Jiuyou proposed.
Just now, when this strange stone was brought up to the auction table, Yin Jiuyou immediately reminded Ye Hong: "Boy, you have to take this stone down no matter what! It may not be of much use to other monks, but it may be a huge opportunity for you!"
For Yin Jiuyou, although Ye Hong is not ashamed that he often puts on a posture of being high above and empty-eyed, he has infinite trust in the judgment of things. After receiving Yin Jiuyou's reminder, he was ready to make a move without asking any questions. After hearing that many monks denied the value of the stone, he deliberately delayed for a while, and after listening carefully to the reactions of the monks in the audience to the stone, he offered a bid at the last moment.
Because he knew that once he was in a hurry to make an offer, it would definitely attract the attention of the monks present, and maybe there would be a monk with a strange temper who had a large number of spirit stones and was ready to collect some rare treasures at the auction to jump out and bid with him, and the chances of getting this stone would be much less. After all, he was bound to get this stone, and if he repeatedly increased the price, it would definitely make other monks doubt the value of this stone, and there would be more monks participating in the bidding.
Sure enough, Ye Hong's strategy was correct, and after receiving a large number of greetings from "Idiot!", "Brain Show is funny!", "Money is stupid!", he got his wish and photographed this strange stone with five hundred spirit stones.
"Due to the heavy weight of the lot, please ask this fellow Daoist to go to the backstage to deliver the spirit stone after the auction is over. Zhuang Jie glanced gratefully at the box where Ye Hong was: "The next auction is..."
At this time, Ye Hong no longer had the heart to pay attention to the situation in the auction hall, after getting a further detailed explanation from Yin Jiuyou, his heart was boiling, it was difficult to avoid wanting to attract the attention of other monks, otherwise he would immediately go to the backstage to deliver the spirit stone and rush back to the cave as fast as possible, and start to carefully inspect this strange stone.
The information that Yin Jiuyou gave him was that there was a ninety percent chance that there was an ancient spirit beast named Bast Beast sealed in this strange stone, and this kind of spirit beast was extremely rare in ancient times. Although this bast beast was only a low-level spirit beast in ancient times, and had rough skin and thick flesh like most other ancient low-level spirit beasts, its rough skin and thick flesh were famous in ancient times. Without him, it was really too perverted in its physical toughness, and in ancient times, any physical attack from a spirit beast below the intermediate level could not harm it at all. In addition to this, the phloem also spits a highly corrosive venom that almost all metals and ores cannot resist. Although this kind of demon beast had few natural enemies among the middle and low-level spirit beasts, it was very rare in ancient times because of its weak fecundity.
