Chapter 19: The Dragon's Spirit
Although the lots are precious, after the snake dragon fruit and the Shengsheng Xuanling fruit, for these lots, except for the snake dragon fruit, there is nothing to look at.
It wasn't until the last lot was opened that the meridians of Yan Duan unconsciously began to circulate at an accelerated pace.
"This lot, is a hundred years ago the carving master Lou master in his later years, was obtained at the beginning of this year overseas, has also appeared in the history of the record, the whole body of the dragon body carved casting, carving the work of the clouds and water, lifelike, with the best Nanmu, the mountains and seas beads dotted the eye, the literati become the dragon carving heart, is a rare collection, the price starts at 1,000 taels of gold, each time the price increases 100 taels" Mr. An praised this carving.
It's just that the voice fell for a long time, and no one answered. Coincidentally, the people who came this time were all coming for the snake dragon fruit, after the snake dragon fruit was included in Qiao Lanhai's hands, although these people still had competition, but the situation was not as good as before, and most of the people who came this time were disciples of the pirate sect, and they were interested in the elixir of improving the martial arts, but they were not interested in collecting. If there were other city lords who came, they would definitely scoff at this, which was a rare treasure for them.
Mr. An looked around, but there was still no one to bid, so he felt a little embarrassed. At the auction every year, it is not that there is no unsuccessful auction, and it often appears in the front part, I thought that for Master Lou's carvings, there will be many people who seek after, but I didn't expect that no one bid this time, and there was such a scene.
Seeing this, Mr. An was a little disappointed, and was ready to say that the auction was lost, and then end the auction. Seeing this, Yan Duan hurriedly said to Chu Xiao beside him, "Brother Chu, I don't know if I can borrow a thousand taels of gold from my junior brother." "Speaking of which, he didn't bring much silver with him on this trip, mostly some healing elixirs and some spiritual herbs and elixirs that he picked later, as well as some scattered silver, and no large amounts of gold.
Chu Xiao looked at Yan Duan and was a little surprised, but he still recovered his expression in a moment, "Brother Yan is polite, a thousand taels of gold is nothing, since Brother Yan likes this carving, then auction it, and it will not be in vain to come to the auction." ”
Yan Duan didn't explain that it was not the first time he had participated in the auction, but he just nodded, and when Mr. An was about to say that the auction was lost, he said, "Mr. An, I paid 1,000 taels of gold for this collection." ”
Mr. An looked at the number of people in the stands asking for a price, and the embarrassment dissipated instantly, and said with interest, "This little brother offered a thousand taels of gold, is there anyone else bidding?"
After asking three times, he struck the hammer, "One thousand taels of deals." ”
Yan Duan's heart suddenly relaxed, in fact, to be honest, he didn't know why he took this dragon carving spiritual heart. It's just that as soon as it appeared, his meridians unconsciously began to speed up, and this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing, so he wanted to take a picture and wanted to find out.
After the end of the auction, Yan Duan followed Chu Xiao and Cheng Yiqing to the back of the auction, this is a small building, there are many private rooms upstairs, in each private room, there is a shopkeeper waiting, of course, the previous auction is also here, everyone takes out their own exchange of gold and silver to exchange for lots, if someone cheats, then there will be serious consequences here, and even abolish their eyes and legs, and beg for food all their lives.
Chu Xiao, Cheng Yiqing, and Yan Duan came to one of the private rooms, and there was the dragon carving spirit heart in the tray, after the inspection, Chu Xiao took out a bronze medal from his arms, which was engraved with some symbols, and there were 1,000 taels of words, the shopkeeper took it, and then after testing the truth, he put it in his arms, and then wrapped the dragon carving spirit heart and pushed it over. It seems that the people who participated in the auction deposited the gold in a currency bank in exchange for a lot, which was convenient and light to hold.
After Yan Duan took the dragon carving spiritual heart, he and Chu Xiao and Cheng Yiqing went out of the other door of the private room, which was also set up by the auction venue, so as not to embarrass the villains.
After returning to the inn, the sky was still slightly bright, and the market began to have early risers preparing their morning meals and vegetables. After Chu Xiao, Cheng Yiqing, and Yan Duan ate a little, they went back to the house to sleep. When I woke up, it was already afternoon, after eating. The three of them discussed leaving.
"Brother Yan, it has been more than half a month since my junior sister and I came out, and now that the snake dragon fruit has not arrived, I won't stay longer, and I will rush back to Qingyou Pavilion today, I don't know what Brother Yan plans to do in the future?" Chu Xiao looked at Yan Duan and said with some disappointment.
"Brother Chu, I can't hide it, except for the next training, it is a tempering of the elders in the family, so I don't want to stay in one place for too long, and I have plans to travel overseas before, so I will set off for the East China Sea in the near future. "Words become words.
When Chu Xiao heard this, he originally had some intention of wooing, so he gave up at this time. "It's good that going out to travel is the experience of my generation of martial arts people, and I have also traveled in the next place, going east to the sea, watching the blue waves and oceans, stepping on the desert in the west, watching the sky for thousands of miles, traveling to the grassland in the north, catching the bow and shooting eagles, looking at the volcano in the south, seeing the rolling lava, and ten years of travel, only then can I have the difficult mind, and then I have today's cultivation. Your talent is above mine, and you will be far above me through experience. ”
"Brother Chu laughed, Brother Chu is already an eight-grade master, even in Dayi, he is also a first-class master," Yan Duan said.
"I know my own family affairs, okay, if Brother Yan is free in the future, you can come to my first-line mountain stream Qingyou Pavilion as a guest, and wait for the next bed. Chu Xiao said.
"Definitely".
"Then you remember to come" Cheng Yiqing looked at Yan Duan and suddenly added.
After speaking, Chu Xiao and Cheng Yiqing picked up their luggage, checked out and left. Yan Duan had nothing else to do at this time, returned to the house, bolted the door, and then returned to the bed, unwrapped the curtain, and the moment the dragon carving spirit heart appeared, the meridians began to speed up again. Yan Duan began to look at it curiously.
