Chapter 105: The Auction Begins
Under the leadership of Yan Ji, after the group passed the formation, they had to pass through a long corridor leading to the main venue, and they walked dozens of steps before reaching the end. As soon as he entered the venue, Arato only felt a dazzling golden light in front of him. After slowing down for a while, he gradually adjusted to the bright light in front of him, and Arato tried to slowly open his eyes.
The venue was magnificent, and although it was extremely luxurious, it was full of elegance. The breath of nature is even more brilliant under the illumination of the nine crystal glass lamps hanging on the dome. There is a circular booth of about 10 zhang in the center, and the center of the venue is concave in the middle of the booth in a stepped shape, and there is no end in sight, and dozens of boxes are suspended in the air around the central booth. The entire venue is large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
"This sixth layer is actually in mid-air, and it is still a venue made of a floating island, how big is this!"
At this time, the crowd outside had not yet entered, and now there were only a few groups of people in the venue, and there were about 200 people in total. This is a drop in the bucket for a venue that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Some people gathered in the boxes above the venue, while others spread out in the seats around the venue.
Aratian looked around and found a very interesting phenomenon. The people sitting in the upper van were not wearing masks, and all of them showed their true faces.
As if sensing the confusion of the barren sky, Yan Ji explained to him in a low voice: "There is a box that only distinguished guests enjoy, and the people who are generally entertained are a big force, because of the strong background, they generally do not wear masks, and directly show their true faces." And all the distinguished guests who are scattered are only used to being alone, so they prefer to sit in the venue. ”
"I see, it seems that there are a lot of forces here today. "Deserted Sky looked at the box on the top of the building, there were about fifteen or sixteen places with people sitting.
"Childe also go upstairs with us, the little girl has prepared a good box for you. Yan Ji chuckled, her eyes shining with a moving light, as if she could speak.
"This is not very good, we don't seem to be qualified to make the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce pay so much attention to it, except for Brother Bai, of course. "Aratian was a little flustered in his heart, he didn't know his identity from the other party, he didn't seem to show any flaws.
"Childe said with a smile, you are willing to cut your love and hand over the Yiyuan grass to our Chamber of Commerce for auction, this is a great trust in us, isn't it our honored guest?"
Now Huangtian finally knew the reason why Yan Ji attached so much importance to himself, swept away the previous panic, and showed a flattered look, "Miss Yan Ji, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, I have already given it to Uncle Geng, how he controls it has nothing to do with me!"
"It doesn't matter, let's go to the box first. ”
Although Yan Ji had a smiling face on the surface, she was extremely shocked in her heart, maybe Bai Qianyu and Chen Lao didn't know the value of the Yiyuan grass, but she was at the scene that day, and she clearly saw how much Yao Lao admired the barren Yiyuan grass at that time. And after he left, Yao Lao was still amazed.
She had also asked Yao Lao what elixir he had never seen, and why he was so impressed by that elixir.
When Yao Lao explained to her in detail what the effect of the Blood Yuan Fruit was, she realized how precious the things taken out by the barren sky were, and Yao Lao also said that it was not ruled out that after a long time, there might be other magical effects derived from the Yiyuan Grass. Now, she could feel even more how extraordinary the Yiyuan grass that Huangtian took out.
It was such a hot elixir, but he gave it to a guide who had nothing to do with it and found it casually. There may be some ulterior secrets in it, but this matter just shows that Huangtian is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, which makes Yan Ji can't help but look up to him a few points.
Huangtian and his party followed Yan Ji into a box with a decent view, and sat down with Yun Yi on a sofa that looked relatively spacious. He sank himself into the couch with some laziness, closed his eyes as if he were asleep, and turned a deaf ear to the chatter of the rest of the room.
After a quarter of an hour or so, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange, he slowly opened his closed eyes, and he found that Yan Ji and Geng Laohan's eyes were looking at the box directly opposite him.
Aratian also fixed his eyes, and the originally empty box opposite them was now crowded with a group of people dressed in blue, including men and women, old and young.
Sitting down in the center of the crowd should be the person led by them, a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years old, although his temples are a little pale, but the whole person looks radiant, every move is very elegant and exquisite, quite a big demeanor. Yan Ji, Chen Lao, and the owner of the White Mansion behind Huang Tian all waved or clenched their fists to the opposite side one by one, and the people led by the opposite side also responded with their hands.
In the group of people opposite, a woman with a graceful figure and elegant manners paid attention to Araten, she did not look much different from Aratian's age, her skin was fair, extremely smooth, and her blue hair hung down on her waist to give people a cold and mysterious feeling. She didn't seem to have a low status, sitting on the right hand side of the middle-aged man led by them, and gently brushed the hair of her sideburns.
As if sensing the gaze of the barren, the woman cast her gaze over and looked the barren sky up and down. Aratian saw the woman turn her head to look at her, some smiled awkwardly, and the woman just glanced at him, and turned her head to the side coldly.
It's been a few days since he came to Mingdu City, and Huangtian also has a preliminary understanding of the strength in Mingdu City, and the group of people wearing blue clothes on the other side should be one of the biggest forces in Mingdu City, the Tang family. The middle-aged man headed by him is estimated to be the current head of the Tang family, the blue-shirted sage Tang Xiu.
At this time, the box was already full, and a box in the middle of the sky was a very strange one, because only they had people wearing masks in this box, and the rest of the boxes were showing their true faces.
At this time, a steady stream of people poured into the main auction venue like a wave, and many people wearing masks carefully searched for their seats with the number plates in their hands. The noise was incessant, surging in all directions like the rolling waves of the sea. After the time when there was a stick of incense, more than 100,000 people were seated in the originally empty venue, and after another half an hour, the entire venue was already overcrowded, and there were many people who did not make it to the very edge of the place, and from the central booth it became a black spot the size of an ant.
The people around looked at the half-empty box with great interest, whispering below, although it was far away, but the desolate sky could still hear one or two with the acuity of his divine sense.
"There are a lot of forces here today, and it seems that we can only pick up the leaks that others don't want."
"Yes, the Tang family, the Mo family, the Jiaolong Gang, and the Ye family. Qiao Nanzong, the strength of the head and face in the Ming Capital City has come. ”
"There are also a lot of people from the imperial capital, and those few who carry the true spiritual light pattern are the true spiritual families of the imperial capital. The emperor is worthy of being the largest city in Zhongzhou, and there are really a lot of people. ”
"What is this, don't you see the one above holding the fan with the sun pattern on it, that is the Ouyang family from the Great Wilderness. There is also that group of people with extraordinary momentum, who should be the people of Xilin Tianyuan Sect. The royal family of the southern kingdom didn't expect to come, the strong dragon couldn't suppress the head snake, and today is a good show. ”
"Yes, don't say that a big force is a big force, you see that young people are all beautiful and talented. Especially those fairies, oops, it seems that they are really fairies. ”
"Whoever wants to be blessed to marry such a fairy and go home, it's too beautiful......"
......
Aratian listened to the discussion of the people below with great interest.,Originally, it was okay.,As a result, he went off the rails.,Sure enough, everything can finally go back to the topic of color.。
At this time, a group of women dressed in fluttering colors appeared on the booth, and at the same time, a melodious and tactful song echoed in the venue. The originally noisy venue fell silent for a moment, and everyone was staring at the central booth.
I saw that the group of women and the music began to twist their waists under the gaze of everyone, like graceful willows in the wind, and like butterflies fluttering among the flowers. The water sleeves were thrown away, the sleeves danced, and the colorful silk fluttered behind him, and suddenly countless fragrant petals fell from the air above, pulling the endless fragrance to stimulate everyone's senses.
The slender Luo Yi fluttered among the petals, the swirling skirts crisscrossed left and right, and the endless dancing postures were displayed in front of everyone, highlighting their bumpy and beautiful figures, which could not help but make people think about it.
After a while, the sound of music gradually faded away, and several women on the booth bowed to the stands and then retreated, just when everyone was still reminiscing, a middle-aged man in a graceful dress walked up to the stage, the man's steps were steady, his face was full of the unique charm of a mature man, and his eyes were full of calmness and wisdom.
"Hello guests, welcome to the auction held by the Mingdu Branch of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. I am the president of the Mingdu branch of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, Zhuge Ming. ”
"The only sage in the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, extending in all directions, Zhuge Ming. Huangtian muttered to himself, although he had not seen Zhuge Ming himself, but he had heard from Geng Laohan that some of Zhuge Ming's deeds, and he still admired such a heroic character.
Then Zhuge Ming then said some polite words at the beginning of the auction, although he spoke impassionedly, and the atmosphere of the whole audience was mobilized by him, but Huang Tian didn't listen carefully, just observed the forces in the box by himself. In this way, it took about a stick of incense to speak politely.
Zhuge Ming cleared his throat, and with a wave of his big sleeves, a two-meter-long square platform appeared in front of him, on which a small hammer and a heavy sleeper were placed.
With a smile on his lips, he picked up the small hammer in his hand. With a snap, it hit the sleeper.
"Alright, everyone, the auction is now open!"
