Chapter 49: The Auction
The atmosphere of the auction hall is very comfortable, the light is good but not dazzling, the atmosphere is lively but not noisy, the owner of the auction as today's auctioneer personally walked on the stage and began to explain the first item, painting sound and color, and for a while the sound of various asking prices began to sound.
Chu Huohe quickly adapted to this atmosphere and joined the ranks of shouting, but he only shouted five hundred taels a hand and stopped talking. I didn't want to buy it, but I just had a good time.
Unlike Chu Huohe's activity, Chu Huojiu sat on the side, not relieving himself from the fact that Chu Huohe had already condensed. People who receive too much stimulation are generally like this, Chu Huohe glanced at it, and was amused in his heart, but he was not worried.
The personable Chen Liufeng on the side had been asking with concern what was going on, but Chu Huojiu was absent-minded and responded nothing, as if he had ignored him a little.
After a long time, Chu Huojiu still couldn't believe it, and dragged Chu Huohe, who started to shout again, and said, "I still don't believe it." ”
"Hey, don't look at geniuses with your ordinary people's thinking, okay?" is still very interested in occasionally fighting back at this sister Chu Huohe, after all, she spares no effort to make a name for herself behind her back.
Unexpectedly, Chu Huojiu's annoyed expression did not appear, but a look of ecstasy leaked on his face. Chu Huohe was very puzzled, but he didn't want to think about things that he couldn't figure out, it was his usual style, and after scolding the snake spirit in his heart, he continued to join the ranks of shouting.
"Two thousand taels. ”
The person who presided over the auction followed the voice and saw the immature Chu Huohe in the audience, and said loudly: "Okay, this little boy paid two thousand taels, it seems that he fully understands the value of this book, is there a higher price?"
Seeing that no one responded, the landlord had no choice but to give up.
"Two thousand taels one time. ”
"Two thousand two times. ”
"Two thousand two or three times, the deal, okay, let's congratulate this son on the successful shooting of this strange book "Golden Vase Plum". After speaking, the beautiful little sister went on stage to take down the book, smiled at Chu Huohe professionally, registered Chu Huohe and what he bought, and then went to the backstage and waited for the final checkout.
Almost everyone in the audience looked at Chu Huohe and them, as if they were looking at another fool.
Chu Huojiu, who was still happy, heard this and looked at Chu Huohe angrily. Chu Huohe was also confused, he just joined in the fun and shouted, and so did Fang Cai, who himself shouted this time, no one raised the price, and the atmosphere was obviously very hot just now, why did he suddenly not ask for it.
Chu Huohe said innocently: "I just shouted to play, who knew that no one would suddenly raise the price, what should I do, can I run away now?"
Chu Huojiu, who was about to reprimand, heard Chen Liufeng's voice. "Hehe, people are not romantic teenagers, just a little brother of Huohe, don't increase the price so hard in the future, people only shouted less than a hundred taels, you play like this is the same as flipping the table, others will not follow. ”
"Ah, I seem to hear shouting more than a thousand taels. ”
Chen Liufeng patiently explained: "The formation downstairs of the Tianbao Auction Hall has the effect of shielding the divine sense, which is to protect the privacy of the guests and the safety of the treasures, so the five senses of the cultivators in the venue are no different from those of mortals, and you have to listen well when you buy things." ”
Seeing Chu Huojiu's annoyed look, Chen Liufeng smiled freely and said, "Xiao Jiu doesn't have to be like this, this book is just a meeting gift I gave to Brother Ling at that time." ”
Hearing this, Chu Huojiu seemed to have thought of something, and a touch of shyness climbed up to his little face, turned back to Chu Huohe and said, "Thank you brother soon." ”
Some people are willing to pay for their mistakes, and Chu Huohe is also happy, "Thank you, brother." ”
"Hehe, you're welcome. ”
The auction continued, and many strange things were auctioned one after another, Chu Huohe watched silently and never spoke again. Chen Liufeng and Chu Huojiu came for a five-grade sword, the sword name is a jade girl, the sword body is slender and exquisite, and it is even worth seeing.
After a price increase, the price was already very high, although he felt sorry for this expense, but after seeing Chu Huojiu next to him who was very moved, Chen Liufeng also gritted his teeth and shouted the final price.
"One hundred and seventy thousand taels. ”
Not surprisingly, the price of this sword was fixed at 170,000 taels of silver, Chen Liufeng sighed secretly, his savings for many years were gone, but since it was a token of love, it was worth it.
The rich are waving money like rain, and the rich are sighing at the local tyrants on the side, just like Chu Huohe at this moment. is also a child of a family, and the gap is really not ordinarily big. He is only one thousand taels a month, even if he informs the clan that he is now Ning Dan, at most it will be three thousand taels of silver, and he will have to take on the corresponding things, Chu Huohe is unwilling, Chu Xiong does not want him to delay his cultivation because of these trivial matters, and the Chu family is now in addition to Chu Xiong, and the only one who knows that Chu Huohe has broken through the realm Ning Dan is Chu Huojiu.
The next auction price is still on a rising trend, and even approached the 500,000 two mark, but he still didn't see Chu Xiong's red abyss, and the other knife that the little guy said before has been auctioned, and now there is only one knife spirit weapon left that has not been auctioned, Chu Huohe began to wonder if his analysis was wrong, and it is not impossible for Chu Xiong to go far away and sell the knife to other places, after all, for Chu Xiong in the late stage of the Divine Apocalypse, this distance is nothing.
Looking at the auction items whose prices were more expensive than the other, Chu Huojiu looked puzzled, why did Chu Huohe come, he never asked, the things behind this were obviously beyond Chu Huohe's bearing, could it be that Chu Huohe really came for the "Golden Vase Plum"? Looking at the expressions of those people, he knew that it was not a serious book, and it was obscene! I didn't want to make progress! Sure enough, the dog couldn't change its shit.
"Anything else you'd like to buy?"
Chu Huohe, who was already a little anxious, turned around when he heard this, and saw Chu Huojiu's face with a thin layer of anger, and he didn't know why, "What's wrong?"
"Hmph, if you don't practice well, your mind is all about men and women, how old are you. ”
"I'm sorry to say that I'm about the same. Chu Huohe didn't bother to explain to her, he always felt that today's Chu Huojiu was a little weird, woman, it's really strange.
Before, he only wanted to be the helmsman of the Chu family's worldly affairs, so he regarded his younger brother as the biggest imaginary enemy, and then Chu Huojiu slowly discovered that this guy actually never seemed to have the intention of competing with him for this position, and slowly his hostility towards Chu Huohe disappeared a lot.
Chu Huojiu is seven years old, Chu Huohe was already fourteen years old the year Chu Huohe stepped into the practice, and Chu Huojiu thought that she would definitely be a strong woman in the future, so she naturally decided that her younger brother was the biggest enemy, and did a lot of excessive things, until she met Chen Liufeng, and she was happy in her heart, perhaps, it is not bad to be a little woman?
After carefully recalling the behavior of his younger brother for so many years, in fact, most of the time it was his preconceived idea that he put on the hat of a future enemy for Chu Huohe, this guy was indeed very naughty before he stepped into the practice, and he also loved to hook up with some fox friends and dogs, but the turning point of the impression seemed to be that from the year Chu Huohe stepped into the practice, he became an out-and-out otaku. Later, when he encountered something, he became a frequent visitor to the Qinglou.
Of course, she didn't know what happened to Chu Huohe, in the night when no one cared about it, that stubborn figure was growing up silently.
For his ridicule, Chu Huojiu rarely chose to ignore it this time, and then said: "The things in the back are no longer what we can buy, what are you looking for?"
Chu Huohe ignored her, anxious in his heart What should he do if there is really no Hongyuan here, this knife Chu Xiong has used for many years, and he has long been his right-hand man, and he is about to travel far away, so he can't rest assured that Chu Xiong, who doesn't even have a spiritual weapon.
"Brother Liufeng, if the things that the slave brother wants are not here, you have to help find it. He is still young, his personal circle is limited, and he can't take much outside his body. ”
Jiao Su's voice, his brother's title, even if Chen Liufeng has been in love for many years, he couldn't help but tremble, and smiled freely, "That's natural, soon it's a family, what's the relationship with helping your younger brother." ”
Of course, Chu Huohe heard the conversation between the two, and turned to look at Chu Huojiu for a long time.
"Something is wrong with you. ”
"What's wrong with me?"
"Don't you have any points in your heart?"
Chu Huojiu knew what he wanted to say, and gritted his teeth and whispered: "Shut up, don't mess with the old lady, there are still outsiders." ”
"Does that fool know?"
"That's your future brother-in-law!"
Chu Huohe glanced at Chen Liufeng with a little sympathy, and the latter saw Chu Huohe's eyes and showed a smile that he thought was chic, although he didn't know what the two sisters and brothers were talking about, but he thought it must be very interesting.
"Listen to your sister, if you have any difficulties, just tell your brother. ”
Thinking of this Chen Liufeng marrying his jealous, savage and self-contained sister home in the future, Chu Huohe couldn't help but sympathize with him even more, "Hey, brother, you should ask for more blessings for yourself." ”
Chen Liufeng: "???"
The auction continued, and two strong-looking men laboriously lifted out a long object covered in a red cloth.
"The next item is one of the finale items of this auction, let me sell it first, do you know that the instrument follows people?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone became interested and began to talk about it. Seeing that the effect was good, the auctioneer smiled, and then said: "As we all know, a spiritual weapon is a consumable, and every time you fight, it will slowly reduce the lifespan of the spiritual energy, even if it is a spiritual weapon made by the Hundred Weapons Sect of Suyang City. ”
Many of you here are actually hearing the name of the Hundred Weapons Sect in Suyang City for the first time, but if it is in the Dayu Land outside the Chaos Demon Island, when you mention this name, everyone will know that this name represents the pinnacle of forging. Chu Huohe This is the second time he has heard of this name, and the last time was when Nan Huai said that his senior brother stole the artifact of the Zhenzong of other people's sects, Moyang.
"But in very special circumstances, it is also possible that the spiritual weapon will be improved with the user's ascension, and the specific reason is unknown. ”
"One of the finale items in today's auction is also the thing forged by the Hundred Weapons Sect, the first person in Liyang City, the Hongyuan of Chu Xiong, the head of the Chu family. ”
