Chapter 18 Lan's Auction House

The scale of the Lan Auction House is far larger than Xuanchen imagined, the entrance hall alone is more than ten times as wide as his own small courtyard, and the luxurious decoration is also the most Xuanchen has ever seen in Yaobei City. Of course, Xuan Chen didn't see many Gaomen mansions, most of them were passing by along the way, and he looked at them curiously once or twice.

Gold bricks and blue tiles, like bright yellow glass lamps like bright stars, hang high in the ceiling, making people feel like bathed in golden rain, extremely luxurious. Walking into the hall, on the high wall facing it, there was a huge golden hammer several feet long.

According to Mo Qinghan, this hammer is made of pure gold, of course, the bead at the end of the hammer handle can not be counted, but just a sapphire with a higher value.

Then he thought to himself that such a big piece of gold, at least a few thousand catties, if it was used to make gold coins, he should be able to get himself out of the current predicament casually.

The auction house will take 5% of the transaction price as a handling fee after each lot is sold, and the fee will be increased accordingly if the value is extremely high.

Before each lot is put on the auction list, it will be evaluated by the auction house's treasure connoisseur, and if the value of the lot is too low, it will be rejected directly and the property will be returned to the original owner. Then the quality of the lots are divided into three, six, nine and so on, according to the quality of the order from low to high.

The auction seems to be about to start, but luckily, the entrance hasn't closed yet. Mo Qinghan took a card similar to a pass, handed it to the guard at the door to confirm, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took Xuanchen into the auction hall smoothly.

In the hall, except for the last row of seats, there are three or two free seats, and the rest can be said to be full, and as far as the eye can see, they are all famous gentlemen in brocade clothes and jade belts. caused Xuanchen's ordinary cloth clothes to fall into it, which looked very out of place.

On the crystal seats in the front row, there were people from the Mo family and the Mu family, as well as an old man with gray hair, Xuanchen was a little unfamiliar.

Among the people of the Mo family, there is the familiar Mo Xiao and another middle-aged man, and on the Mu family's side is Mu Xiang, the second elder of the Mu family from the last Demon Beast Mountain Range, and Mu Shusheng and Mu Cangbai, all of whom are familiar faces.

Xuanchen tried his best to keep his expression calm, took a deep breath gently, and told himself that now was not the time to hit the stone with an egg.

"Today's auction is attended by Daddy and the Second Elder of Mogu, the Second Elder of the Mu Family on the right side of the Mu Family, Mu Xiang and Mu Qisheng, you know each other, as for the one sitting next to Mu Qisheng, it is Mu Xiang's son, called Mu Cangbai. Mo Qinghan introduced, "The old gentleman on Daddy's left is Liu Chunfeng, the pavilion master of Cuichun Pavilion, and I heard Daddy say that his medical skills are very clever. ”

Xuanchen nodded, but he didn't make it clear that in fact, he had known that Mucang Bai for a long time, and it was a little troublesome to explain the reason for the acquaintance.

Liu Chunfeng, the pavilion master of Cuichun Pavilion, Xuanchen took two more looks, looking at its gas state, giving people a different feeling, it is a unique calmness from the inside that can only be found after seeing injuries, illnesses, life and death.

"I heard that there are a few good lots today, so basically the slightly famous family forces have heard about it. Of course, some people are pleasing to the eye with the attitude of watching a play, and more people are thinking about whether there is a chance to pick a certain favorite lot and get it in their pockets, so it is worth the trip. Father, they must have come for the few good things that were rumored. Mo Qinghan said.

"Then we belong to the category of watching dramas?" Xuan Chen quipped.

The girl looked at Xuan Chen in surprise, "Eh, you learned to joke so quickly?"

Immediately, the girl suddenly frowned again, and shouted suspiciously: "Say, is this your real face, mouth flower, you are pretending to be very honest, right?!"

"Huh?" Xuan Chen was a little dazed, "I didn't have it?"

The girl scratched Xuanchen's eyes, snorted and said, "Hmph, forgive me and don't dare, I'm smart, and I have a pair of fiery eyes, so if you have a little crooked thoughts, I know it, do you know it." ”

Xuanchen was dumbfounded, he didn't seem to be wronged at all, but his heart was filled with a sense of joy and happiness, this feeling was amazing.

Then on the high platform in front of the hall, an old man came out, followed by a woman with a hot body, holding a flower, the flower has five petals of pale yellow, the rhizome is about half a foot long, and only two dark green leaves.

The auction seems to have begun.

The old man introduced: "Our first lot today is this 'Double Leaf Flower', which is a second-grade spiritual grass, which can not only clear the mind and eye-catching the fragrance of flowers, but also be suitable for boring meditation. What's more precious is that a petal can be ground and mashed, which can hold the breath of a dying person within half an hour, and if it is made into medicine, the effect is even better. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Chunfeng, the pavilion master of Cuichun Pavilion, "Liu Lao must know best, this breath is equivalent to half a life for a person who is about to die, swallowing it and hanging it in his heart, it is completely the difference between death and life." ”

The old man named "Liu Chunfeng" neither agreed with the old man on the stage, nor did he deny it outright, but said: "Having a breath of air is equivalent to having a glimmer of life. ”

So the value of the "Futaba Flower" depends on the scale in the hearts of the people here.

"Liu Lao's medical skills and medical ethics make the old man admire. The old man smiled and raised his right hand, "Then everyone, please bid." The starting price of Futaba flowers, 1,000 gold coins!"

"Fifteen hundred gold coins!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a man with thick sideburns in the back row raised the sign in his hand and shouted. The man was richly dressed, but there was a hideous scar on his neck that looked like a snake python.

"Okay! Someone has paid fifteen hundred gold coins, is there any increase in price?" asked the old man in a loud voice.

"Three thousand gold coins!" Liu Chunfeng raised his hand lightly and said.

The man with thick sideburns raised his hand again, "Three thousand five!"

Liu Chunfeng seemed to like this "double-leaf flower", so he continued to bid at a higher price: "Five thousand gold coins!"

The stubby-sidedness man gave up stupidly, "Cut, you have money, I admit it!"

The old man on the high platform asked with a smile: "Five thousand gold coins, are there any people in the audience who are still interested in this 'double leaf flower'?"

Of course not, although the grade of the double-leaf flower is at the level of the second-grade spirit grass, as a healing spirit grass, five thousand gold coins is already a very high price.

There was silence, and the old man raised the small golden hammer in his hand and shouted.

"One ......"

"Two ......"

"Three times!"

The golden hammer in the old man's hand fell heavily on the auction table beside him, "Congratulations to Old Liu!"

The next auction is not boring, but it does lack eye-catching, most of them are some spirit grasses, weird treasures and the like.

Among them, the highest price was a silver long knife, inlaid with fire, thunder, and earth, a total of three first-order demon cores, the blade body was forged from high-grade cold iron, and the hammer price was 11,000 gold coins. It was photographed by a rich man who likes to treasure treasure swords and armor.

The Mo family and the Mu family have been standing still, except for the occasional words and words, there are no other actions, from beginning to end, they have never shouted a price.

And Liu Chunfeng, who was also in the first row of crystal seats, did not buy other lots after taking another second-grade spirit grass. Except for occasionally raising the price, but whenever someone tops his price, he will stop leisurely, obviously focusing on music and not liking it.

So there are no more highlights to see after that.

It wasn't until a red cloud furnace was lifted to the high platform by two strong men, one on the left and one on the right, that all of them, including Xuanchen, were in good spirits, and they were no longer sleepy. It's just that some people are eager to try, such as Xuanchen, although he has no money and wants it. Others are refreshed, out of curiosity,

There is only a tiger's head-shaped tuyere on the cloud furnace, and a single tuyere, indicating that it is a one-product cloud furnace.

The inscription, also known as the seal of the mandate of heaven, originated from the creation of heaven and was opened on the clouds.

It is said that the inscription is given by the mandate of heaven, created when the heavenly creation is made, the incinerator is opened above the clouds, the fire cloud is used as a flame, and finally the inscription of the world is achieved.

Therefore, why is the cloud furnace where the inscription is refined, not a flame, but a rolling bewitching fire cloud, and the fire cloud is terrifying, so the world calls it a cloud furnace.

"As we all know, the cloud furnace is a necessary thing for the sealer to refine the seal, but the role of the cloud furnace is not limited to this. As far as I know, there is a cloud furnace used to refine high-grade medicines in Liu Lao's Cuichun Pavilion. Yes, the cloud furnace can not only refine the inscription, but also make medicines. ”

"The mystery lies in the fact that the cloud furnace has a spirit, which is cast by the person who casts the furnace with spiritual power when forging the cloud furnace, and the fire cloud is made by the spiritual power contained in the cloud furnace, plus the spiritual power or aura instilled into the cloud furnace by the person who uses the cloud furnace, and the two catalyze each other after combustion. Therefore, the spirit grass refined by the fire cloud was not comparable to the ordinary flame peak, and it was far away. Because when the refining spirit grass absorbs the spirit of the fire cloud, the medicinal power will be mixed with these wisps of the spirit of the fire cloud, which will be absorbed by the martial artist when he uses this kind of medicine, which is of great benefit. ”

The old man introduced a large number of people with a lot of enthusiasm, and the more the people below listened, the more confused they became, and the light in their eyes became brighter and brighter.

I have to say that the old man can be called the "Lotus Flower", and the well-known cloud furnace of the inscription master has another miraculous effect, which is miraculous. In fact, it was nothing more than to let most of the people present not give up the auction competition after hearing the unreachable word "inscription" and thinking that the cloud furnace would be nothing for them.

The key is that there is also Liu Chunfeng of Cuichun Pavilion as a flaunt, and many people would have been skeptical, but when they heard it, the doubts in their hearts naturally disappeared.

Of course, it can't be said that the old man is all nonsense, the cloud furnace refining spirit grass does have other benefits, but "Fu is far away", it is a bit too heavy.

The old man continued: "The things of the cloud furnace are hard to find, even if the old man has presided over the Yaobei Auction House for so many years, he has only seen it a few times. Ladies and gentlemen, there is no time to lose. ”

"Haha!" Mo Xiao in the audience laughed heartily and said, "What you said is very true, since this is the case, why don't you get straight to the point?"

"Let Elder Moxiao smile, it's the old man who has a lot of tongues, and I really think this is rare. The old man apologized, "Then, Yipin Cloud Furnace, Flame Tiger, the auction begins." The starting price, 4,000 gold coins!"

Liu Chunfeng smiled, "There is already one in the pavilion, so I won't compete with you, you play, you play." ”

The three members of the Mu family, who have been watching coldly, have raised their cards.

"Five thousand!" Mu Xiang said.

Mo Xiao looked at him playfully and sneered: "I heard that your Mu family didn't know that there was an inscription master from there, so you are in such a hurry to offer your affection?"

"It's your business!" Mu Xiang glared at Mo Xiao viciously. The kick of the Demon Beast Mountain Range has not healed so far, and the usual movements are a little bigger and there are bursts of stinging pain, which makes Mu Xiangyi hate this dead fat man so much that the root of his teeth hurts, and the pain of the special mother is even more painful.

Mo Xiao smiled painlessly, and then raised the sign in his hand: "I'll give seven thousand!"

Hearing this, Mu Xiang almost jumped up from his seat, "You have something wrong, why are you shooting back?

Mo Xiao glanced at him faintly and said, "I just want to take your hand, can't I?"

"You!"

Mu Xiang bit his teeth with a "gurgling" sound, and the spiritual power in his body suddenly began to work.

But the next moment, he felt that somewhere in the attic above the hall, several of them had locked him firmly, and two of them were even stronger than him. He immediately calmed down, thinking to himself that the Lan Clan's Auction House really lived up to its reputation, and that there were such masters just as guards to maintain order.

Mu Xiang immediately reined in his breath and continued to raise the price.

"Eight thousand!"

Since the appearance of this cloud furnace, Xuan Chen has been staring, and his eyes have not moved away from the cloud furnace for a moment.

It's also a shame that there is no woman on the stage, otherwise in the eyes of Mo Qinghan who fell to the side, he would have to mistakenly think that he was greedy for someone else's body and was a lustful and obscene person.

Mo Qinghan asked, "You seem to like it very much?"

Xuan Chen woke up from his fugue state and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Then Xuanchen glanced at the stage again, and was looked at by Mo Qinghan.

Mo Qinghan rolled his moist eyes and said, "You wait for me." ”

Then she bent over and got up, half-crouched, and walked quietly down the aisle in the direction of the high platform.

"Eh......" Xuanchen stretched out his hand to stop her, but his fingertips only touched the end of the green silk, and the girl was already like a smart kitten, walking out.

I saw Mo Qinghan go to Mo Xiao's location and whisper a few words in his ear.

Mo Xiao glanced at her, a little puzzled.

Mo Qinghan blinked his Qiushui eyes and smiled playfully.

Mo Xiao nodded.

Immediately, Mo Qinghan returned the same way.

"Alright. Mo Qinghan sat back in his position and said with a sigh.

"What are you doing?" asked Xuanchen.

"I told my dad I liked it and asked him to take it for me. Mo Qinghan straightened his nose and said.

Xuanchen's heart was shocked, and he was a little overwhelmed, just because of his own "It's okay"?

Faced with a girl who has only been in love for three times, this sudden snow charcoal, he can't say whether he is grateful or apprehensive. He was a little ashamed, or rather frightened. He was worried that he would accept this kindness but not return it, just like what he owed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he would only owe more and more, and he didn't know when and when he could write it off.

Xuanchen hesitated, and he asked the girl, "This, not very good?"

Mo Qinghan said innocently: "It's not good, it's good." Don't worry, it won't delay Daddy's plan, and Daddy can't see the Mu family as good, so he should do it. ”

couldn't resist his father, took the commission, and when he got to the girl, Xuanchen found that he still seemed to be unable to resist. After thinking about it, he simply smiled bitterly and said to himself, it's a big deal, don't weigh on the debt, and pay it back slowly in the future.

So Xuanchen finally said to the girl very sincerely: "Thank you!"

The girl grinned and looked ahead.

In the first row of seats, Mo Xiao raised the sign in his hand again under Mu Xiangsheng's loveless gaze.

"Nine thousand!"

"Mo Xiao, you're so fucking deceitful!" Mu Xiang scolded.

"I was just kidding you, but now I really like the stove. Mo Xiao said with the same smile that narrowed his eyes into a slit.

Mo Gu beside him quietly watched Mo Xiao and Mu Xiang's rivalry, and he naturally heard the whispers between Mo Qinghan and Mo Xiao before. Without affecting the family plan, even if I don't know if the girl wants to play a game, but since she said that she likes this cloud furnace and loves her much, she will definitely try her best to take it down.

Moreover, it is just a good opportunity to break the arrogance of the Mu family, killing two birds with one stone.

Mu Xiang leaned back against the crystal seat, panting constantly, as if the cool material could share the anger that filled his chest, stomach, and body.

Mu Cangbai hurriedly comforted: "Father, don't be like them, Master Monsoon doesn't already have a cloud furnace, maybe he may not be able to take a fancy to this cloud furnace, so it is not necessary, don't be angry because of this little thing." ”

Sitting between the two of them, Mu Chopping Fire, with his arms around his chest, looked indifferent all the time. After Kikura Kashiwa finished speaking, he leaned close to Kikura's ear and whispered a word.

Hearing this, Mu Xiangzheng sat up, nodded at Mu Xianghuo, and then raised the sign and said in a deep voice: "Ten thousand twelve!"

He looked at Mo Xiao again, smiled provocatively and said, "Mo Xiao, I'll see how long you can follow behind Lao Tzu's ass!"

The old man on the stage heard this instantly raised bid, and his heart was simply happy, and the effect of raising the price caused by this kind of hand-to-hand combat was much more effective than his racking his brains to brag nonsense on the stage.

The old man asked, "Twelve thousand!Elder Moxiao, are you still going on?"

"Fifteen thousand!" Mo smiled and smiled coldly at Mu Xiang, "You, it's okay with a stinky mouth." I'm just going to turn people into lost dogs, you have to be careful next time, you can't always be a slap and a kick, and everything will be fine, right?"

Mu Xiang was surprisingly not annoyed at all, put down the sign in his hand lightly, and said, "Hehe, Elder Moxiao is so domineering, I am really scared." It's up to you, but next, I hope Elder Mo Xiao's confidence can still be so strong. ”

"Don't bother. Mo Xiao stroked his fingers and said.

Mu Xiang laughed.

The old man routinely confirmed three times, and then the smile that he had suppressed for a long time finally vented presumptuously, "Congratulations to Elder Moxiao, Flame Tiger, it's yours." ”

The two big men came to the stage again and carried the cloud furnace "Flame Tiger" down.

"Okay guys, plate after plate of hors d'oeuvres, I'm sure you're tired of tasting them. Next, please cheer up, because the last two treasures that will be auctioned are praised even by our treasure connoisseurs, and say that if it is not for the fact that your identity does not allow it, you will have to compete with you. ”

As soon as the words fell, two curvy women with charming faces walked up to the stage with two crystal boxes in front of them and one behind them. The two women looked like they were carved out of a mold, with long narrow phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and thin vermilion lips. Not only that, the rhythm of the twisting of the willow waists of the two, the frequency and distance of the slender and straight jade legs under the short skirt, are all exactly the same.

Some of the men in the audience had undisguised fiery eyes, and their eyes were round and straight, almost spewing fire.

The old man retreated between the two women, waved his hands from side to side, and said, "So, we will change the rules of the game a little, that is, the two treasures will be revealed on the stage at the same time, and then the old man will draw lots to determine the order of the auction!"

Hearing this, most people fell into deep thought. The fact that the two finale lots are on the stage at the same time and that what exactly they are meant means that everyone can choose one of the lots according to their needs and focus on increasing the price. This is an extremely risky move for auction houses, and if another lot is not satisfactory, it is likely to end up being sold cheaply.

But since the Lan Auction House dares to go sideways, does it mean that the two lots are worth a lot of money, and they are not worried about a one-sided situation at all?

"Hey, why are you looking so seriously, are those two little goblins really that good-looking?" Mo Qinghan pushed Xuanchen, full of resentment.

"Huh?" Xuanchen came back to his senses, his face stunned.

Of course, he wasn't fascinated by the two women, he just wanted to see clearly what was in the crystal box on the top of the two people's hands. But the embarrassment is embarrassing, the crystal box is hazy and blurry, blocking the line of sight and making it difficult to see clearly, not to mention, the position of the end is just in the center of the twin peaks of the two.

Therefore, Xuanchen's performance is very much like aiming at other people's chests in the open......

"I, I didn't, I was watching......" Xuan Chen quickly explained.

Where was Mo Qinghan willing to wait for Xuanchen to "brew an excuse to hide from the sky and cross the sea", covered his ears, and shook his head vigorously.

"I don't listen to me, I don't listen, you men don't have a good thing, you like this kind of obscene thing. ”

"It's not...... I...... This ......"

Xuanchen only felt that he really wanted to jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it, but in a hurry, the more he tried to explain it clearly, the more unfavorable his words became. I was stunned for a long time, and I couldn't finish half a sentence. He can be regarded as a first-hand experience of what it means to be unspeakable, and there is unspeakable suffering.

Mo Qinghan suddenly lowered his head and stared at the two slightly "up-and-coming" hillocks that belonged to him, and muttered: "Isn't it just a little bigger, I will grow up too, hmph, don't bully the girl to be poor, she has the ability, and she will compare and contrast in the future." ”

The expression on Xuan Chen's face instantly froze, and he was stunned.
