Chapter 167: The Second Hide
Lu He has only seen such things as auctions on TV and novels, and the feeling of participating in it for the first time is still very special.
This is a two-storey space located in the basement of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and the huge auction site can accommodate thousands of people together.
Outside, there is a high platform in the middle of the auction site, which is decorated with a low fence next to the high platform, and the ground is paved with a special spar, which exudes a faint fluorescence, and around the high platform, many rectangular tables and chairs are placed.
Around the auction site, there is a circle of private rooms, which are generally provided to the distinguished guests of Wanbao Pavilion, which are completely free of charge, and each box is also accompanied by a maid to serve them.
The ceiling is inlaid with night pearls, illuminating the entire auction site as if it were daytime.
And the rules of the auction are also very simple, the highest bidder wins.
Some things are set with a starting price, while others have no starting price, and the increase must be a multiple of ten and a multiple of 100 to prevent those who maliciously make trouble.
"Mr. Lu, this is today's lot. ”
Xiaolian placed a booklet with a red cover on the table in front of Lu He, and then stood aside without saying a word.
As early as the last time she failed to throw herself into her arms, she knew that Lu He was not the kind of person who was easily tempted by women, so she also broke off that thought.
Lu He picked up the booklet and flipped through it casually.
The auction here is different from what I imagined, and there are not many precious things, I thought that the beginning was also a spiritual weapon, but I didn't want to have a lot of treasures.
After all, those good things are in the hands of various families and strong people, and they generally do not flow into the auction.
"Huh?"
Turning the page, a pattern of animal skin caught Lu He's eye and caught his attention.
The patterns on this booklet are all reproduced using some kind of magic, as if they were physically placed in front of them.
This animal skin is very similar to the animal skin in Lu He's personal space.
Both the style of painting and the degree of wear and tear of the hides are similar, but the patterns on them are somewhat different.
Could it be that there are many pieces of this animal skin?
Doubts rose in Lu He's heart, and he looked at the text introduction under the pattern.
But there is nothing useful in the text introduction, only that it is a piece of animal skin, and the pattern on it seems to be some kind of path, but it is only a part of the whole animal skin, and the specific date is the ancient period.
Antiquity!
Lu He's heart was shocked, since he came to this world, what he heard the most about the ancient period was those ancient demons and ancient demon saints, among the demon clan, there are two kinds of monsters.
One is a youkai with an ancient bloodline, and the other is a youkai without an ancient bloodline.
Between the two, it's like a world apart.
Under the same realm, the strength of a monster with an ancient bloodline can completely crush a monster without an ancient bloodline, which is a recognized fact in both the demon race and the human race.
And Lu He has also seen the introduction of the ancient period in the ancient books, and it is recorded that the Kyushu world in ancient times was an era when people and immortals stood side by side.
In that era, there were immortals who waved their hands and moved the stars, there were great demons who could devour all things, and there were even human monks who went against the sky.
It's just that later, I don't know what happened, all the immortals disappeared, and since then, this world seems to have been abandoned by the immortals, and there is no trace of immortals.
Looking at the animal skin on the picture, Lu He secretly thought in his heart, this thing should be part of the treasure map, but he didn't know how many points this treasure map was divided into.
At least, the treasure map in Lu He's hand and this animal skin combined, it was not a complete treasure map.
There are many records of treasure maps like this in the book that Lu He reads, and there are many such treasure maps in the land of Kyushu, and some people spend a lot of money to get one of them, but it is difficult to find the second one after spending their lives, and as a result, the treasure is not found, and their own cultivation is delayed.
Luck is such a thing, it's elusive, the land of Kyushu is boundless, maybe there are dozens or even hundreds of these animal skins, scattered on the entire land of Kyushu, even if Lu He has two, it is difficult to find other parts.
Therefore, the role of this kind of treasure map is very chicken many times, and the treasure map that is auctioned in this battle may be that its owner has given up the plan to continue looking for it, and is disheartened.
But anyway, Lu He is also going to take this treasure map down, just as a memory.
After all, there is no starting price for this treasure map, and if you are lucky, you can win ten medium-grade spirit stones.
Lu He continued to flip through, and the back were some magic weapons and some rare refining materials, and the final finale was the corpse of that Qingshan Jun.
Maybe Aoyama-kun's body is not the most valuable, but it must be the most famous.
After all, that Qingshan-kun is a monster with a name and surname, and the monks in the Great Wind County have basically heard of Qingshan-kun, and even many monks who came from other cities came to see the corpse of the monster in the Mortal Realm.
After flipping through it, seeing that Tang Lingxuan's eyes were a little curious, Lu He handed her the booklet and asked her to read it too.
Time passed quickly, and after a while, the auction site outside the box was full of people.
The seats were full, all monks, not a single mortal.
Even Lu He felt a lot of the aura of the Mortal Realm inside, and there were about thirty or fifty places.
This made Lu He a little surprised, but he didn't expect that there were so many Mortal Realm cultivators of the Human Race, and just one auction would gather so many Mortal Realm cultivators.
Many people outside looked at the No. 1 box of Tianzi from time to time, pointing and whispering from time to time.
After all, in the past, the people in the No. 1 box of this Tianzi were the most distinguished guests in this Wanbao Pavilion, either from wealthy families or powerful monks, and it was easy to arouse the curiosity of others.
Tang Lingxuan was not restrained in the No. 1 box of Tianzi, after all, she was born rich and noble, Tang Tai was one of the three captains of this Windy City, and she had also come to the No. 1 box of Tianzi with her father a few times before, and she was quite familiar with this place.
The auction started smoothly, but Lu He didn't meet the kind of person who grabbed the room, and looked at the hall outside with some disappointment.
From top to bottom, the entire auction platform is in sight of Lu He.
"It's him. ”
Lu He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the gray-robed old man on the high platform, this was the gray-robed old man who had been receiving Lu He.
Xiaolian whispered on the side: "Manager Liu is our chief appraiser here, and he has always presided over the auction, after all, there are some things in the auction that only he can say the history and all the effects, and others can only follow the back, and the narration is not exciting enough." ”
