Chapter 161: Hidden Feelings
Under the watchful eye of everyone, Dona stretched out her graceful white hand and slowly opened the shield on the lot.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were glued to the obnoxious red cloth, eager to see what was underneath at once.
However, when the red cloth was removed, a dark box was revealed, with intricate patterns and carvings, revealing a quaint atmosphere. The length and width of the box are about one foot, what will such a large box contain?
Dona looked at everyone's reactions, smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "Don't worry, you'll find out soon." ”
The more he sold it like this, the more curious the people below became, and even wanted to go on stage and open the box in person.
Everyone below turned their heads and talked about it, all wondering what it was.
Dona continued, "Actually, everyone is already familiar with this thing. Anyone who has been to the auction house will recognize this object, and in the past six months, many large auction houses have been the finale lots. ”
"Ah, it's that mysterious treasure, and no one knows its origin. Appraisers at the major auction houses can only confirm that it is made from rare materials, but they do not know what it is used for. But all the appraisers gave a very high reserve price, trying to prove that this was a rare treasure. ”
"Yes, I saw this item at the auction a month ago, but I can't be sure of the efficacy, and the price is so high, so no one bids, and every time this item is unsold."
……
Xi Yan asked Xie Yuming, "Have you ever seen the things in the box?" ”
Xie Yuming shook his head, "I've been traveling outside for nearly half a year, and I haven't been to the auction house, so there should be such a thing, it shouldn't be." Generally, there are still many people who collect such things, how can they keep being auctioned. ”
This is also what Miao Yan thinks in his heart, there are many rich people, and they have different hobbies. This lot will definitely arouse their interest, how can it be sold so far.
At this time, the three of them heard the reason from the crowd.
"I've heard that this lot is very evil. The average person simply can't take it out of the box. There are a few people who don't believe in evil and buy this thing back at a high price, and they can use all means to get it out of the box. ”
"yes. I've heard about it too. In the end, the buyer really couldn't do it, so he had to go to the auction house to return it. ”
"But the auction house knows that this thing will be unsold, and every time it is used as the finale, why do you do this?"
"Shhhh For the sake of the consignor, the auction house had to take it out and display it to see if it could be met and take this thing out. ”
……
Everyone talked about it, and Xi Yan and the others finally figured out the cause and effect.
Dona raised her hand to signal the people below to be quiet, and then said, "Today is the last auction of this item, and the consignor has put forward a condition, you will definitely be interested." ”
"What conditions, say it quickly!"
Dona smiled charmingly, "This is a good thing that has never happened in Dafeng Auction House. Congratulations to all of you. ”
Someone anxiously shouted: "What the hell, tell me quickly!" ”
"That is, this lot only needs 5,000 spirit coins to take back." Dona's voice was clear enough for the audience to hear clearly.
"Huh?"
"Really?"
……
All kinds of doubts and gasps kept ringing. The world has fallen into a pie, and everyone here does not want to be hit by this pie. They knew that the previous prices of this lot were more than 100,000 spirit coins, and once it was as high as 180,000. Such an astronomical amount is unimaginable.
And the auctioneer Dona just made it clear that it only costs five thousand spirit coins. 180,000 becomes 5,000, what is this concept? It's hard to rob like crazy. Regardless of whether this thing is useful or not, it's good to buy it as a collectible.
Successfully mobilizing the atmosphere of the audience, Dona said again: "There is no doubt that what I just said is true. As long as one condition is met. Five thousand spirit coins will take away today's finale. Come to think of it, every time, the finale never sold for less than $80,000. Today, the miracle of creating an auction house will go down in history and will be remembered forever. ”
"Just today. As long as you take out 5,000 spirit coins, you can take away this lot of incalculable value, are you tempted by such a transaction? Dona was stirring up the mood on the auction table, and if the lot was to be taken from her hands forever today, she would be paid a good salary.
"Tell me what the hell is the condition!"
The atmosphere was high, and everyone was wondering if they would meet the conditions and take the lot away.
Xi Yan was also tempted and couldn't wait to know the answer.
Dona said in a loud voice: "The condition is that everyone present today can come forward and try it, and if he can take out this thing, it will belong to him." Remember, you only get one chance. ”
The crowd was suddenly ignited, such a rare opportunity. In front of the treasure, only if you are destined to take the treasure. Heaven gave it a good time, and people immediately geared up and prepared to go up and give it a try.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know your eagerness at this time, but please be patient and listen to what I have to say. Today, Dafeng Auction House was commissioned to find a person to match this lot, which lasted for two days. During this period, anyone can come forward and try it, and anyone who can take out the treasure can become the owner of the treasure. ”
"Next, please line up and step forward in turn." As Dona's voice fell, the passage for people to try it out had opened.
Both sides of the passage were full of burly guards, and this battle made some people suddenly quiet.
Dafeng Auction House is responsible for the safety of the lots, and has already considered all aspects, so that those who covet treasures will retreat.
"Shall we try?" Xi asked, her eyes were shining, obviously very interested.
"Of course I'm going, don't be a fool if you have such a chance to pick it up for nothing." Xie Yuming said.
The wonderful words also said: "Try it, the opportunity is rare, if it is really fateful, it is a big surprise." As long as 5,000 spirit coins, you can get this treasure, which is too cost-effective. ”
"Okay, let's get in line." Xi Yan waited for their words, and immediately pulled the two of them to squeeze in the direction of the team.
At this moment, the auction hall was in chaos, and everyone was eager to get this rare opportunity.
In the dark room behind the auction hall, two old men were sitting. They are all the appearance of fairy wind bones, one black and one white.
The two of them held fragrant teas in their hands, and a mirror in front of them clearly showed the scene in the hall.
An old man dressed in white. White beard and white eyebrows, sitting casually. And the old man in black, with white hair and black eyebrows, sits straight. The temperament of the whole body is strict and old-fashioned.
The old man in white took a sip of tea and said, "Lu Feng, you are a rare guest, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still the same, and you haven't changed at all." It's rare. You take the initiative to find ****. When the old man saw you, he thought he was dazzled. ”
"Come on, I don't know your virtue yet. Bai Sheng, even if I haven't seen you for many years, as soon as I look at your eyes, I know what you're thinking. The old man in black fought back without hesitation.
"Oh, tell me, what am I thinking at the moment?"
"You're thinking that today's destined person will definitely appear, but you haven't decided which one it will be yet. So. You seem to casually scan the picture, but in fact, with just one glance, you can already tell the difference. Lu Feng said.
Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "You really think so highly of me." I can figure out who is destined to appear today, but I really don't know who it is. However, don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with my hexagram, and your treasure will definitely find someone destined today. ”
"When you say that, I'm relieved."
"There's something I want to ask for." Bai Sheng hesitated slightly. Still said it.
Lu Feng looked at him in surprise, puzzled in his heart, what else could be so solemn.
"This treasure, didn't you think about collecting it after you got it? Why do you have to take it out and look for someone who is destined to do so with great fanfare? Without waiting for Lu Feng to speak, Bai Sheng hurriedly said: "Don't take those high-sounding excuses, I don't believe it at all." ”
"Well, I know I can't hide it from you. You've heard the prophecy of the Presbyterian Church of the Phantom Court, right? Lu Feng sighed.
Bai Sheng nodded. The prophecy of the Illusory Court. It only took a month, and it had already spread among the high-level leaders of the major forces. There was no way he didn't know. Besides, such a prophecy is related to the life and death of the entire Tian Yuan Continent, and no one will ignore it. After all, they were all people living in the Tian Yuan Continent, and once there was any crisis, they would definitely be implicated.
"Truth be told, I believed that prophecy when it first came out. But later, after careful investigation, I realized that something else might be wrong. The prophecy of the crisis on the continent may be true, but we don't know what role the Phantom Court plays in it. Lu Fengyan said.
Bai Sheng was taken aback when he heard this, "Why do you think so?" "You must know that Lu Feng is a member of the Phantom Court, and although he has not yet entered the Council of Elders, he is not far away. At this time, how can it not be surprising to have doubts about the sect you belong to.
"I knew you were going to look like that. I've never mentioned this to anyone, and today is the first time. As it relates to the crisis on the mainland, of course I am very concerned. In order to find a solution and find the root cause of that crisis, I searched through ancient books. Although there is a saying that the Heavenly Evil Lone Star is broken, that kind of statement is not enough to be believed. I had doubts in my heart, how could the vast continent die because of one person. Don't you think that's ridiculous? ”
Bai Sheng had vague doubts in his heart, but he couldn't be sure. After listening to Lu Feng's words, he immediately understood that there must be something else hidden in the matter. There are countless strong people on the continent, and the forces are complicated, how can they perish because of the appearance of one person.
"It's ridiculous, but the prestige of the Phantom Court, no one dares to question it. On this continent, the Phantom Court is like a high king, who can command the heroes, and with just one word, there are countless strong people who work for it. ”
"Yes, the Illusory Court has gone through 10,000 years and has a deep foundation, and no force dares to contend with it. It is precisely in this way that the decay within the Illusory Court is born. The root system is complex, the tribes are mixed, and the means are unscrupulous for the sake of power. And the presbyterian church often just turns a blind eye to such things, as long as it does not threaten the status of the presbyterian church. Speaking of these, Lu Fengyan's face was full of anger.
Born in the Phantom Court, nearly three hundred years have been spent there. For the Phantom Court, he has inseparable emotions, and similarly, seeing the internal struggle so fierce and cruel, he is even more angry.
"Don't be angry, any big sectarian force has such criticism. Let's not talk about that, but what is the basis for your suspicions. Bai Sheng persuaded. He also comes from a large sect, and such things have long been common. As long as you don't look at it, don't think about it, it's fine.
"What raises my suspicions has something to do with the internal struggle within the Illusory Court. Overheard, someone in the Council of Elders asked his people to find an object, and I heard that this thing is magical, and if you find it, you can awaken the powers of the fallen ancients. When I heard about it just now, I scoffed at it, but then I heard it more often, and I slowly became interested in it. Many people inquired about the characteristics of this thing, but who knew that it was the will of heaven. After I got my heart in, in less than a month, I went out to search for the ruins of the ancient battlefield. Then I took the contents of the box, and when I saw it, I immediately thought that this thing should be what I was looking for. ”
"That's it? You brought things back to the Illusory Court? Bai Sheng said teasingly.
Lu Feng glared at Bai Sheng, "If I bring it back, can I still take it out." ”
Recalling the scene at that time, Lu Feng said: "You know, if a cultivator's heart is moved, it must be related. And I believe that this thing is rumored to be able to call on the power of the ancients, so naturally it has to be kept secret. ”
Bai Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
"After two months of getting it, I tried my best to take it out and see what was magical. However, after two months, I just opened the lid of the box and saw what was inside, and nothing else could be done. After many inquiries, it turned out that the person looking for this thing did not know how to use it, but only knew that this thing had a powerful effect. Then, I focused on the ruins of an ancient battlefield and rummaged through the materials to learn that this thing did indeed have this effect. However, it is necessary to find someone who is destined to play a role. Referring to the twists and turns in this matter, Lu Feng was full of emotion.
"Then, you started to auction at the auction house, hoping to find someone destined for it in this way?" Bai Sheng asked incredulously.
Lu Feng said: "There is no other way, I can't expose myself, and I don't want the people of the Phantom Court to know that this thing is in my hands, so I can only go through the auction." However, who would have thought that after half a year, he still hasn't found it. ”
"Lu Feng, have you thought about it, if this thing is in the hands of someone who is destined to do so, if it really works, will it bring consequences that we can't bear. It was the power of the ancients, and the power of one person could forcibly destroy living beings within tens of thousands of miles. Although I have never seen such a scene, since it is recorded in ancient books, it should not be too different. Could it be that this is the source of the danger that caused the Tian Yuan Continent, once the ancient power descends into the world and the lives are destroyed, we will face a fatal blow. Bai Sheng said worriedly. (To be continued.) )
