Chapter Ninety-Six: Nameless
At noon the next day, after eating, Brother Jiu took us to the banquet hall of the hotel, which was very large, and there were only three rows of seats, a total of less than sixty seats, and the rest of the seats were all standing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Brother Jiu didn't know where to get a VIP card, so he sat down on a chair in the corner, while Da Niu Erhu and I stood behind Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu said proudly: "The people who can sit here are basically above the Dao Zun, your master is the Taoist master, you can mix the seats, it's amazing." ”
I didn't talk to anyone, because I hadn't been to the auction, so I was curious to see what would come up at the auction. His eyes were staring straight at the stage.
After a while, a male host in a suit came to the stage, and after a brief opening remark, the host announced that the auction had officially begun.
The first thing to auction was miscellaneous, such as special cinnabar, compass, etc., which I didn't care about, the only surprise was when the gold talisman was auctioned. One hundred gold talismans were sold for 10 million.
Then there are the pills, most of the pills auctioned are special drugs for the treatment of internal injuries, and the most expensive is a bottle of ten Tian Yuan Dan, as Brother Jiu said, Tian Yuan Dan is very gunman, and finally sold out for 30 million.
In this way, nearly two hours passed after the auction, and Jiu Ge did not bid during this period, but kept explaining the information of the auction items to us.
In the end, the host said: "Okay, next is our finale auction item today, this is a sword that Ou Ye, the current head of the Ou family, spent three years and combined the extraterrestrial meteorite and secret methods. The length of the sword is 88.8 cm. And it is a waist sword, which can be hidden in the waist, with a starting price of 10 million and a bid of 500,000 each time. ”
As soon as he heard the waist sword, the venue suddenly became lively, after all, there are very few waist swords that are made of good quality, and they are cast by the head of the Ou family himself, so they are also divine weapons.
The host said, "Okay, now the auction begins." ”
Brother Jiu also has a sword at his waist, which was given by his ancestor. It can be seen that after Brother Jiu knew about the sword on his waist that was auctioned, the expression on his face became serious. However, at this time, Brother Jiu is not in a hurry to ask for the price, and I naturally know the reason, like this kind of auction, the real competitors are behind.
In this way, in less than ten minutes, the asking price had risen to 18 million, and at this time, an old man sitting in the front row held up a sign and said, "20 million." ”
There was a lot of buzz in the room, and everyone knew that the real auction was only now underway.
A middle-aged man not far from the old man called, "Twenty-two million." ”
As soon as the sign in the man's hand was put down, the old man called out again: "Twenty-five million." ”
At this time, the venue was already silent, although there were many people present with a net worth of more than 100 million, but 25 million was already a sky-high price.
The man thought for a moment, then raised his sign and shouted, "Twenty-seven million!"
The next moment, the old man still called out without any hesitation: "Thirty million." ”
The venue was silent, and the host looked at it for a while and said, "Is there a higher price?" Thirty million times. ”
This is the ninth brother holding up a sign and shouting: "Thirty-five million." ”
The eyes of the audience were on our side, and Brother Jiu was not unusual, still sitting there. I was a little surprised, I knew that the sword at my waist was precious, but thirty-five million was still a sky-high price for me.
The old man suddenly stood up and said, "I want this sword Mao Yiqing today, please cut your love!" Thirty-six million! ”
I frowned, surnamed Mao? With such a generous shot, it should be an elder of Maoshan Dao. It's just a newspaper number, I'm afraid it's a bit scaresome. Unexpectedly, the ninth brother also stood up and said: "Uncle Mao, I am Zhang Daoqing's fifth apprentice, I will say hello to your old man on his behalf, but my apprentice really needs a good weapon, how much offense, bear with me, after speaking, he raised a sign and shouted: "Forty million!" ”
The audience exclaimed. Mao Yiqing stood away and did not speak. It can be seen that he should not have much budget. That's why I want to make a name for myself. It's just that when he meets Brother Jiu, he can only be regarded as unlucky. Sure enough, the next moment, I saw him leave the venue angrily.
When the host saw this, he said, "Is there a higher price?" 40 million once, 40 million twice, 40 million three times, transaction, congratulations to this Taoist friend, please go to the stage at the end of the auction to go through the relevant procedures. ”
This concludes the auction.
The crowd began to disperse, and Brother Jiu was still standing in place comfortably, and a few friends who were familiar with Brother Jiu came over and chatted a few words. Brother Jiu smiled and chatted with them for a few words, and then took us to the stage.
Although forty million is a lot, I know the family background of Brother Jiu, and at this time I am more concerned about Mao Yiqing's identity, so I asked: "Brother Jiu, who is Mao Yiqing?" ”
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "He is the great elder of Maoshan, and his status in our Dao Sect is not low, but his qi is too small, and he is reluctant to spend money, so he actually signed up for me to press me." If it were someone else, he would probably be bluffed. But I'm not afraid of him, his senior brother has to give three points when he sees my master, he wants more money than me, I have nothing to say, I use my identity to press me, I am not afraid of him. ”
I smiled and said, "Brother Jiu, but wouldn't 40 million be a bit expensive?" ”
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "If it weren't for the sword on the waist, 20 million would stop, if it was a sword on the waist, I would pay for 50 million, and I wouldn't feel distressed if it wasn't for the sword on my waist." ”
I was embarrassed and said, "Why don't you keep this sword for yourself?" ”
Brother Jiu smiled proudly and said to Da Niu Erhu: "See, this is your senior brother, not only feeling sorry for you, but also knowing how to feel sorry for the master." Now you know why I feel so sorry for your senior brother, right? Then someone said to me: "Eleven, I also have a sword at my waist, which was passed down to me by my master, and it was forged by the father of the current head of the Ou family, no worse than yours, so you can take this one." I'll teach you how to use it in the evening. ”
After speaking, Brother Jiu took the sales contract, signed it, and the staff handed Brother Jiu the box containing the sword at his waist.
At night, Brother Jiu in the room was teaching me how to use the sword on my waist.
Brother Jiu said: "Look at it, it takes a certain amount of skill when the sword on your waist is pulled out, so when you practice just now, you should be slow and careful, so as not to hurt yourself." After that, a slow-motion show was made.
I carefully watched Brother Jiu's movements, nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”
Brother Jiu didn't bother and directly motioned for me to try it myself.
I put the sword at my waist, closed my eyes and recalled the actions of Brother Jiu just now, as soon as I opened my eyes, my hand touched my waist, and the next moment, I had pulled out the sword on my waist.
Brother Jiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it is necessary to be fast and natural, this is the advantage of the sword at the waist." ”
I nodded, tried it twice, and felt like I could do it in a split second. He asked, "Brother Jiu, what's next?" ”
Brother Jiu said: "The next thing is to name your sword, if you have a good sword, name it and let it be called a part of your body." A sword without a name is a lump of iron. “
I thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call it nameless." ”
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, that's a good name." Remember, the nameless sword is a part of your body in the future. ”
After the exchange meeting, due to the limelight at the auction the day before, Brother Jiu naturally inevitably took me around to show off, and when he saw people, he said: "Little things, small things, our family eleven broke my record of being promoted to Taoist priest at the age of seventeen, so I bought a good sword to reward him, and the apprentice is out, and the master can't be reluctant to spend money, isn't it?" ”
