Chapter 42: The Auction
The next day, Le Chong retired from his cultivation state early. The pen %fun % pavilion www.biquge.info held the faint pain of the head and turned his neck, last night Wu Ling gave himself before leaving the moment is still fresh in his memory, I really don't know why this woman has so much strength. And coincidentally, the Willow Bone Jue also advanced to Xiaocheng last night, but fortunately, this Sin Le Chong suffered once, and after receiving it again, the recovery was not as slow as before.
Today's Juzhou City is full of people, although the city is also very popular on weekdays, but today may be due to the auction, Le Chong can only see one after another positive or negative heads. I had to squeeze forward with the flow of people.
Located in the middle of Juzhou City, the Juzhou Chamber of Commerce is a striking seven-story white tower that makes it easy to orient even in the crowd. Not only are there more people today, but even the patrol force in the city has nearly doubled, not counting the soldiers who maintain order around the Chamber of Commerce.
The more you go to the city, the more people there are, if at the beginning Le Chong still had some space for free movement, now he and his surroundings are close to a state of shoulder to shoulder. Compared with the flow of people just now, now it is really the feeling of being held hostage by the flow of people and moving forward.
"I said Elder Yin, this auction is so attractive?" Le Chong protected the gourd on his waist with both hands, he didn't want to go all the way down like this, and he would become a dumping family.
"Ordinary auctions will not cause such a crowded scene, and the old man feels that this is not unrelated to the fact that this auction is held by the city lord's family. The second is because of the geographical location of Juzhou City. Generally, when the auction is held, there will be more people in the city, and there are already more people in this city, so if there are more, won't this become this situation, just get used to it. "Old God Yin is in the way.
"Just get used to it? Why don't you come out and try it and see if you get used to it? "Le Chong doesn't have a good airway.
"The old man is an old man," Yin Lao didn't care, "There are many people, there are many things, and of course there are many bad things, so you must take care of your storage bag and don't let the bad people go down." ”
"I don't need your old advice, I've been optimistic about it a long time ago." Le Chong moved the gourd in front of him and protected it with both hands.
People who have lived here for a long time will call the Juzhou Chamber of Commerce the "City Lord Chamber of Commerce", and at this time, the main entrance of the City Lord Chamber of Commerce has been surrounded by soldiers who maintain order. Le Chong looked from the side, and saw that after walking here, the crowd became quite orderly, presumably all the people in this area came to participate in the auction.
However, no one in the crowd walked out, and none of the surrounding guards had any intention of getting out of the way.
"That's too snobbish. People who don't go to the subterranean realm or who are not from big families are not allowed to go through the main gate. Le Chong heard someone talking in front of him.
"Shhhh Don't let anyone hear me. That's what the law is like this, there's nothing to complain about, let's honestly go through the side door. A person next to him hurriedly said.
Le Chong suddenly realized that this main gate was specially prepared for those strong people with heads and faces or profound realms. shrugged his shoulders, the side door was the side door, he didn't care so much, and no one listened to his calculations.
The side gate is much more low-key than the main gate, and the number of guards is far from the main gate, and at this time Le Chong is walking inward with the team.
"Get out of the way!" The cheers came from behind. Le Chong turned around and saw two white tall horses pulling a carriage slowly stopping, the body was pitch black, and the wheels were painted with gold paint. At this time, the coachman was pulling up the curtain.
I saw a man wearing a jade crown stepping out of the car, who was it not Qin Yibao.
After Qin Yibao came down, he looked around, and the feeling of everyone's attention made a smug smile hang on the corner of his mouth. When the welcoming woman at the door saw Qin Yibao coming, she twisted her graceful body and stepped forward, saying flattering words with a smile on her face. Qin Yibao was happy to hear this, and after touching the woman's face, he laughed and entered the Chamber of Commerce.
"What? A thousand spars, why don't you grab them? Le Chongzheng was secretly looking at Qin Yibao, and suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him.
"What's the cost, the entrance fee for a thousand crystals, if you don't have it, let's go." Another impatient voice rang out.
"What a joke! You need a thousand spars to enter the door, are you opening a black shop? ”
Suddenly, a small number of people began to discuss.
"Elder Yin, do you have to pay for entering the door?" Le Chong was surprised.
"What's so strange about this, the auction is to sell things, and you can't put everyone in it. If you put a person who can't even take out a thousand spars or take out a thousand spars and grit his teeth and can't shoot anything, what do you say he will do in and occupy a seat? ”
"That seems to make sense," Le Chong nodded thoughtfully.
The noise in front of them was finally calmed down by the arrival of the guards who were here to maintain order, and the troublemakers were dragged away, but they didn't know where they were dragged and whether they were intact.
Le Chong naturally took out a thousand spars and handed them to the doorman, and when he saw Le Chong's expression in the whole process of digging out the spars, he immediately became a little respectful, which also made Le Chong get over a little addiction.
As soon as you enter, there is a long corridor, and the lights are not too bright, but it looks a little luxurious in the dark. More than a dozen maids lined up neatly on both sides of the long corridor at the entrance, smiling and bowing to Le Chong.
Le Chong nodded in response, and at this time, a maid at the front walked out of it, stood three steps in front of Le Chong, and saluted Le Chong slightly: "Senior, please come with me, I will take the senior into the auction hall." ”
Le Chong nodded and didn't make a sound, and the maid didn't care, turned around and led the way in front of Le Chong. Skipping some forks in the road, Le Chong turned around under the guidance of the maid, and suddenly felt that the front suddenly opened up.
The whole venue is nearly half the size of a football field, and the auction table at the front accounts for about 20%, opposite to the auction table, rows of seats are distributed in a stepped shape, the closer to the auction table, the lower the terrain, and Le Chong's position at this time is exactly at the top of the ladder. At this time, there were already quite a few cultivators sitting on the seats.
"Senior, this is it, please choose a place to sit down and wait for the auction to begin." The maid said respectfully.
"Yes, got it."
"Then the junior will retire." The maid crouched down and saluted, and slowly took three steps back before turning to leave.
Le Chong looked around and picked a position behind the wall, he didn't want people to sit on both sides, which would make him more uncomfortable.
After sitting down, Le Chong found that there was something strange above his head, ten huge private rooms were lined up on the other side of the arc-shaped venue, rushing to the auction table, and he didn't know what material covered the surface, so he couldn't see the situation inside the house.
"I guess those are for people of Qin Yibao's class." Le Chong thought.
In the next hour or so, cultivators entered the venue one after another, most of them like Le Chong, trying to choose the seats in the corners. Le Chong realized that he was thinking too much, and the cultivators who came in later saw that the corner seats were all occupied, so they sat in the middle of the room, with at least one seat between each person, but if they came a little later, they could only pick up empty seats and sit.
At this time, sitting next to Le Chong was a man with a somewhat sharp-beaked monkey cheek, who did not sit next to Le Chong at will, but deliberately vacated a seat.
"Brother, I'm waiting for victory, I don't know brother..."The man greeted Le Chong with the armrest of the middle seat.
"In Xia Lechong."
"It turned out to be Brother Le Chong, how many times did the brother participate in the auction in Juzhou City?" Hou Sheng looked like a man who talked a lot.
"It's the first time I've participated in the following."
"Don't lie to you, brother, I've been here for three years in a row, but every time I come empty-handed. Most of the things auctioned here are robbed, and I don't have enough financial resources to see if I can pick up some cheap. ”
"It's a shame that he can think of it when he comes to the auction to pick up the bargain." Le Chong thought. Immediately, looking behind the top of the head, eight of the ten rooms could faintly see the figures shaking, and it was the head of the auction that was the majority.
At this moment, the somewhat chaotic venue suddenly quieted down, Le Chong came back to his senses and looked forward, only to see an old man in a brown robe walking up to the stage, the old man's eyes were attentive, and his waist was straight.
"Ahem, everyone, the old man Zhang Li, I think the friends who have been here a few times know the old man, so I won't introduce it too much, this auction is still led by the old man." The old man stood still in the middle of the stage and said loudly.
