Chapter 450: The Auction Has Begin
Chapter 450: The prologue of the auction has begun
The Monkey Country is a night like no other, with lively gypsy songs and a variety of delicate snacks.
But it's more about the cheap trinkets, a country known as a tourist destination and a place where sin is born.
In the past, whenever Zhang Yunyang had various incidents with the people of the Monkey Country, he always appeared as a ruthless character, ignoring the beauty in this country.
But tonight is different, maybe it is because Xu Mengying is by his side, maybe it is because the monkey country tonight gives Zhang Yunyang a different feeling.
Being able to feel a little inexplicable warmth in the quiet night sky is like the most beautiful woman in the world.
Xu Mengying is happily wandering among the goods at the moment, letting out exclamations of surprise and admiration from time to time, the things here are indeed very beautiful, at least all the packages in Xu Mengying's hands at the moment are on Zhang Yunyang's shoulders.
Xu Lang did not refuse Zhang Yunyang's request, Xu Mengying, a well-behaved girl, was still shopping in the night for the first time with the permission of her brother.
Zhang Yunyang glanced at Xu Mengying helplessly, and then greeted softly: "Mengying, Mengying?" ”
Xu Mengying stopped the movement in her hand and looked at Zhang Yunyang with a look of surprise: "Brother Yunyang, come and see, you see how beautiful this bead is?" ”
Zhang Yunyang stepped forward, and Xu Mengying had a bead in her hand, and it was a black pearl from Santimala.
"Do you like it?" Zhang Yunyang raised his eyebrows.
Xu Mengying nodded shyly, and then compared the string of Santimala black pearl necklaces between her snow-white neck: "Look, is it good-looking?" ”
Zhang Yunyang nodded, and had to praise Xu Mengying, this little girl is indeed very beautiful wearing this necklace, and it is so beautiful that it is not stained with dust.
"Since you like it, buy it." Zhang Yunyang was not ambiguous at all, and casually took out the money from his wallet and put it in the hands of the small vendor.
The small vendor was pleasantly surprised, one yuan of the Celestial Empire's coins was enough to cover fifty-three monkey national coins, and the exchange rate was so, so this small Santimala black pearl necklace was also very cheap.
It can even be said that this is not an expensive gift, and it is even a little shabby to give it to the little girl.
But the little girl Xu Mengying was extremely happy, looking at Zhang Yunyang's handsome face, it seemed that even her heart was about to fly at this moment.
After Zhang Yunyang paid for this necklace, he said lightly: "We should go back." ”
Zhang Yunyang needs time to figure out all these things, and he needs time to prepare for himself.
The sudden appearance of that young man today made Zhang Yunyang feel a little vigilant in his heart, and at the same time, for a congenital third-order poison cultivator, Zhang Yunyang had no way to treat it carelessly.
Poison cultivation, playing is poison, this is actually a taboo among the ancient martial arts monks, Zhang Yunyang's own realm has reached the Yuan Infant Stage, logically speaking, it is a lot higher than this young man, it is said that a layer of realm and a layer of heaven, if you infer from this, Zhang Yunyang does not know how many layers of heaven is higher than this young man!
However, there is an essential difference between congenital poison cultivation and nurture, and there can even be some special abilities, Zhang Yunyang has to guard against it, even if it is in the monkey country at the moment, Zhang Yunyang must first ensure that the little girl Xu Mengying and Xu Lang are safe.
Secondly, it is necessary to take into account all the things that happen at the auction.
In public and private, Zhang Yunyang is very cautious, after all, at this moment he is already in the whirlpool of the monkey country, and he can't easily drag himself out, since he has promised Xu Lang, then everything he has done in the monkey country should be complete.
That night, the city was filled with all kinds of people, speaking various Chinese languages, and Zhang Yunyang naturally knew that these people were all rushing to the auction.
The grand auction will start early the next morning, and it will often take place for several days, with different people bringing different treasures to sell here, and many sharp-eyed people want to get a piece of the pie.
In the early morning of the next day, when Zhang Yunyang saw Xu Lang, he was slightly surprised, Xu Lang had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had stayed up all night.
After the little girl Xu Mengying said the word "go back", she obediently followed Zhang Yunyang back to her home, without even a trace of hesitation.
For Zhang Yunyang, Xu Mengying has almost blind trust.
The destination is a secluded villa complex, hidden in the villa area is a splendid building, if it weren't for Zhang Yunyang really knowing that this is the country of monkeys, he would almost think that this is Weiye + Na, or Versailles.
When Xu Lang took out three medals from his arms and hung them on Zhang Yunyang and the little girl Xu Mengying in turn, Zhang Yunyang was stunned: "This is what the auction is about?" ”
Xu Lang nodded: "Yes, only by wearing this medal can you enter the auction." ”
Zhang Yunyang looked at the medal Xu Lang was wearing on his chest, and looked down, double-headed eagle!
This is a terrifying signal, before this, Zhang Yunyang has seen this medal countless times, if the people behind this auction are also wearing the same medal, then it means that they are not from the monkey country.
When he came to the door, two men came up to him; politely greeted Xu Lang and Zhang Yunyang, and saw that the three of them were wearing this medal, so they made a gesture of invitation and invited the three of them to enter the door.
When Zhang Yunyang walked in, he found that this building, which resembles a palace, is actually a cave, with a total of three floors and an arc-shaped architectural style.
Each floor has private rooms, and the bottom floor is the lobby, with a circle-shaped platform in the center, where the treasures from the auction are exhibited.
Zhang Yunyang was slightly distracted, and when all the people entered the venue, they saw that the door had been tightly closed.
There is an unwritten invisible rule in the auction circle, that is, the goods are left in hand, and they cannot be paid when they go out.
This means that no matter what the treasure is, as long as it is separated from the auction building, then no matter what happens afterwards, it has nothing to do with the auction house!
There was a commotion in the crowd from time to time, Zhang Yunyang didn't care, when a man wearing a dress and a black top hat walked up to Xu Lang, he saw Xu Lang smile slightly, and then put the piece of Angora pink diamond imitated by Zhang Yunyang into a gold lacquer plate, and after the dress man sealed it with a lid, he put it into a safe.
The password is dialed by Xu Lang, which is the rule at the auction.
When the man in the top hat disappeared from Xu Lang and Zhang Yunyang's field of vision, Xu Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief, the man in the top hat just now, Xu Lang already knew.
It is rumored that he is a master of appraisal at the auction, no matter what kind of treasure he is, he only needs to look at it to know the real or fake.
It seems that this first level has been fooled.
Zhang Yunyang was even more curious in his heart, what shocking treasures could appear in this auction?
Xu Lang quietly sat next to Zhang Yunyang at this time: "Yunyang, what do you want?" ”
Zhang Yun was silent: "The things I want are strange, but I don't know if there are any here?" ”
Xu Lang smiled: "Yunyang, don't worry, here, you will definitely have what you want, as long as you can afford the price, you will definitely be able to get it." ”
Zhang Yunyang nodded, and as the lights suddenly dimmed, only the lights on the walls of the auction hall were still on, and a giant searchlight had already shone in the center of the high platform.
I just watched the curtain slowly open, and a man walked up from behind the curtain, not very old, with two beards on his thin face, very happy.
"Ladies and gentlemen! You're welcome to be here, and before the auction begins, I'd like to explain the rules of the auction. ”
After speaking, I only saw that the man cleared the file, and then continued to speak: "All the things in this auction, gentlemen and ladies can start the price as much as you like, when the price is set and others have no objections, the winner of the treasure will be decided, and the locked box that is opened will be opened by the original owner of the treasure and the buyer who bought the treasure!" ”
After speaking, he only saw the thin-faced man wave his hand, and then watched the light shine on the treasure table.
Immediately attracted a burst of cheers, and Zhang Yunyang's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the treasures on the treasure table.
The man with a thin face said very proudly: "Today's first treasure, everyone must also know, this is the golden mask of the Egyptian pharaoh Julius II!" Just as precious as the Tutankhamun mask! And according to the time, Pharaoh Julius was two centuries earlier than Tutankhamun! ”
As soon as the golden mask came out, it immediately attracted a lot of boos, such treasures in addition to local tyrants and collectors, only some people who want to solve the mystery of the golden mask can buy it with bold funds.
The next moment, Zhang Yunyang had already seen that in the hall downstairs, there was a person holding up the inquiry card high, and after the thin-faced man saw it, he said excitedly: "It is rumored that Pharaoh Julius engraved the secret of wealth on the back of the gold mask, using ancient Egyptian, and those who buy the gold mask will have the opportunity to completely solve the mystery of the golden mask and get the wealth of Pharaoh Julius!" The starting price is 10 million! ”
Almost instantly, Zhang Yunyang noticed that in the darkness, there were seven or eight people holding signs together in the hall downstairs and in the private rooms on the second and third floors.
"Thirteen million at a time!"
"Thirteen million twice!"
At this moment, a person held up a sign, and at the same time, the mellow voice came: "Twenty-one million! ”
The shrill and excited voice of the thin-faced man came: "Mr. 32 bids twenty-one million!" Is there anything else? Twenty-one million at a time! ”
Immediately, an old man stood up: "Twenty-five million! ”
The old man's eyes flashed with excitement, and at the same time he was very majestic, looking around at everyone.
At this time, a young woman sitting in a private room not far from Zhang Yunyang held up a sign: "Thirty million." ”
The tone was extremely indifferent, as if she didn't put the 30 million in her eyes at all, it was obvious that she was on the same page with the old man.
"Thirty-one million!" The old man is naturally not to be outdone, the golden mask of Julius II is more valuable than the Tutankhamon mask in comparison, how can it be missed!
"Thirty-five million!"
"Thirty-seven million!"
"Forty-five million!" The woman showed no mercy and directly raised the price to 45 million.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then saw that he seemed to swallow a mouthful of saliva with all his might, as if he was gritting his teeth, and finally spoke: "Fifty million!" ”
Fifty million is enough to stop most of the people in the auction hall, and the old man seems to have seen the scene where the golden mask is caught in his hand.
However, the young woman did not give the old man this opportunity, but her tone was still very indifferent: "Sixty million! ”
Raised by 10 million at once! This was something that the old man had never imagined, and in the end he had to be defeated and give up his inevitable treasure.
