Chapter 126: The Auction Continues
"Master, please come here."
Just as Ye Nuan's brother and sister were talking, a group of people suddenly poured into the hall downstairs, dressed in black and sunglasses, all burly and black, looking strong and mighty. They have a compelling momentum on them, and most of the people on the side see that they are far away and dare not approach. It's not that I can't afford to provoke it, but I don't want to make trouble, and this group of people is angry at a glance, and it's not easy to deal with, so it's better to watch from a distance.
However, in the middle of this group of people, there was a young man with a light coat, his face was always light, and he didn't seem to care about the reaction to the outside world, not sad or happy, but fortunately, the slightly hooked corners of his lips softened the indifference on his face, and he walked calmly and elegantly. Take a closer look, this person is actually tall, wearing an ink-colored robe with a white collar embellishment, which sets off his warm and jade-like temperament. The delicate face does not look sharp, and the fair skin is also like a sickly pale that has not been exposed to the sun for too long, but it has a unique charm. It fell on everyone, like a pearl among the tiles.
And Ye Zhenglin, who was originally asking Ye Nuan what the relationship was with the man who gave the dowry gift to the door, suddenly stopped his mouth when the group came in, and looked intently at the young man in ink in the middle, with a solemn face.
Looking along his line of sight, a burst of ghostly light flashed in Ye Nuan's eyes, and the originally unexciting eyes rippled layer by layer. Unconsciously licking her lower lip, she showed a little interest on her face.
That person is so full of vitality.
"Big brother, your target person tonight is here?"
looked at the person in the hall, and then raised his eyebrows to look at Ye Zhenglin, who was sitting opposite and was a little nervous, Ye Nuan asked.
However, the former shook his head when he heard this. Retracting his gaze, he replied, "The prophet and prophet of the famous empire, Zhuge Qingming. Revered by the royal family, he is known as the 'Sun of the Empire'. Because the royal family consulted him on many major decisions, many people called Zhuge Qingming a 'national teacher'. ”
Ye Zhenglin's words made Ye Nuan slightly stunned, she had heard of this person as early as when she was trapped in the Southern Prison, and the other party found out that the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree that had been rooted in the Southern Prison and had been evil for many years had turned into a demon, but it didn't come to solve it in the end. It turned out that the national teacher they were talking about was the person downstairs. It's called Zhuge Qingming. The name is quite elegant, and the person is good-looking, but unfortunately he is born with a defect. The dark eyes are gray. There is no focal length, and there is always a gloomy cloud around it, which looks lifeless.
"A blind man?" Asking someone else to say this will often make people feel too rude. But it fell into Ye Nuan's mouth. But it is a little more calm and casual, as if it is no different from ordinary people.
Ye Zhenglin neither nodded nor shook his head, but said with a distant expression, "It is rumored that although Master Qingming was born with a disease in his eyes, he can determine the good fortune and evil by the sound of the wind and the direction of the wind. The art of reckoning is even more superb. He is good at ink painting, and there is a mysterious power in his paintings. It can borrow power from heaven and earth, and its power is extraordinary. However, the creatures he usually paints never pay attention to them, and this quirk is widely spread, and it is said that because the creatures in the paintings are lifelike, I am afraid that they will really come to life if I draw the eyes. ”
Hearing this, Ye Nuan nodded silently. In the old days, there was a saying that the people with the best hearts and hardships were the most accurate in fortune-telling, and the first one did not need to be explained, and most of the second kind of characters were ill-fated and disabled, because of the lack of innate vitality, a certain sense of nature became more and more profound. As for the mysterious power in the paintings, it goes without saying that the cultivator's technique is no different.
It's just that Ye Nuan felt that his eldest brother's reaction was a little strange, "Big brother, do you know that Master Qingming?" I feel that the people downstairs don't seem to recognize his identity as a 'national teacher'. ”
When they met the rumored figures, I am afraid that they would have rushed up to the top and gathered around the master to ask for divination, instead of looking jealous of the group of black-clothed people around him now.
"I had a relationship with Master Qingming, I remember him, I'm afraid he won't remember me."
I don't know why, Ye Nuan always felt that Ye Zhenglin's spirit was a little strange, as if he regretted something, but he couldn't catch it, and then Ye Nuan listened to him, "Master Qingming has been living in the palace, living alone, outsiders are not allowed to disturb, except for the royal family and some important ministers, no one has seen his true face, so it is normal that no one recognizes him." However, most of the people who are qualified to participate in this underground auction are people with a certain status and power in the Beijing circle, and someone will always guess his identity after a while. ”
"Oh, it seems that tonight's auction items are rare and rare, otherwise it wouldn't have alarmed this 'Master Qingming'. I don't know if it's the medicine that can cure all diseases, or the golden pill that makes people immortal, it's really curious. Stroking his chin, Ye Nuan said thoughtfully.
"Contrary to what you think, this Qingming master is not here for the treasure, he only wants mutant beast cubs."
As soon as Ye Zhenglin's words fell, Ye Nuan looked at him with an expression of 'how do you know that there is adultery/love'.
The corners of Ye Zhenglin's mouth twitched, and he said, "How do I know, you don't care, Master Qingming is not interested in what kind of medicine for immortality and all diseases, the biggest pastime is to raise animal pets, it doesn't matter if you have strong attack power and vitality." ”
"Well, this hobby is more like a normal person. Actually, I'm only a little interested in him, and I'm even more curious, what are you doing here tonight, big brother? Let me guess, you weren't ordered to buy the elixir and potions that were put up for auction at the end, were you? ”
Before Ye Zhenglin could speak, Ye Nuan shook his head while looking at his face and said, "Today's red light shows that good fortune has come, but your eyebrows are slightly messy, and there is red light on the head of your eyes that spreads in the whites of your eyes, which is the culprit." This shows that your great joy is an unexpected joy, and you have obtained an ability to relieve the hidden danger of your body, but the original mission has the appearance of failure. I'm afraid you won't be able to complete your task. ”
Ye Nuan said casually, Ye Zhenglin didn't listen to it much, although he felt a faint feeling in his heart, he left it behind his mind, frowned and said, "You don't learn those messy things, be careful to keep your brain busy, and the number of calculations is also something that ordinary people can master?" Don't go crazy, you still have to concentrate on learning, and let's talk about it when you've learned. I used to watch entertainment reports. Say you have plans to apply for school in the near future, what are your plans? Do you want to discuss it with your parents and your second brother? They are also more experienced in school and professional issues. Of course. It's okay for you to decide for yourself. Also, the kid who brought you to the auction is from the Qi family, when did you know him? ”
Ye Nuan directly skipped the first question and replied, "I've been tutoring recently, and I've forgotten a lot of knowledge, so I want to apply for a comprehensive college." I haven't figured out the specific major yet, so I'll do my best. I don't want to go home just yet, but I'll talk about it then. As for the person who was by my side just now, he was indeed from the Qi family. Qi Yuyan is the big boss of "Shengshi", and I just endorsed his company's games. ”
Seeing that Ye Zhenglin's eyes gradually changed, his brows tightened. I almost want to speak. Ye Nuan hurriedly explained, "There are no unspoken rules, you don't have to think about it, you are just ordinary friends." I am quite liked by people at the level of uncles and aunts, and the reason why I can endorse "Shengshi" is largely because of the parents of Qi Dashao. ”
"Oh, yes, I heard from my parents that many people in the older generation liked you. The families who knew our family well also recognized you on TV. said that it was really a female college eighteen changes, and I almost couldn't recognize you. I was well-behaved and stupid. It's not as amazing as it is on TV. Actually, I'm curious, how did your personality change so quickly? Are you interested in talking to your eldest brother? ”
Ye Nuan: ...... Big Brother QAQ begged to be spared
"Forget it, let's not talk about that, you haven't been to an underground auction before, do you have anything you want to buy? Big brother pays for you. ”
"Big brother, I still have a little savings recently, don't care about me, you better take care of your task first." Ye Nuan chuckled.
Nine times out of ten, Ye Zhenglin's mission will not be completed, in fact, it doesn't matter, the eldest brother of the Ye family will one day withdraw from the mysterious army that gave up on him and handed him over to a group of crazy people for experiments, what does it matter if the mission fails?
Just as Ye Nuan and the two were talking, the people wandering in the hall had already dispersed, returned to their respective rooms and waited for the auction to begin, and Qi Yuyan, who had specially vacated the meeting space for the Ye family brothers and sisters, also returned.
Looking at the eldest brother of the Ye family who was a little unsmiling, Qi Yuyan did not show timidity in his heart, but introduced himself politely, and quietly explained his relationship with Ye Nuan.
Knowing that this guy was not only not a 'dangerous element' who intended to take away Xiaomei, but also a 'tutor' who was tutoring Xiaomei during this time, Ye Zhenglin's attitude towards Qi Yuyan eased down immediately, and the momentum of his whole body was retracted, just like hello and me.
Ye Nuan was speechless, so he had to pick up the teacup and sip the water.
It didn't take long for the auction to begin.
Somewhat different from other auctions, the auctioneer of this underground auction did not say much nonsense as soon as he appeared, and waved his right hand directly into the air, and with a burst of white light, all the images of the auction items tonight were magnified and printed in the air several times, superimposed around the center of the circle, looking like a magnificent spiral, but it allowed customers in every room to clearly browse through tonight's auction items.
It took about two or three minutes for the auctioneer to take it back and remove the original image. Then he bowed solemnly to everyone, got up and stood on a high platform, on which were placed the hammered objects of logs, and nothing else, and then the auctioneer spoke, and his voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the communicator, "Welcome to tonight's underground auction, and now I announce that the auction has officially begun." Please invite the first lot, the fierce change Jiuyang Sky Fox. ”
As his voice fell, a huge photo of a fox appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Of course, it can't be said to be a photo, because the picture moves, frame by frame, from static to dynamic, from rest to predation, originally an angel and spirit who fell into the mortal world, and the next second it becomes a demon that opens its bloody mouth and devours living beings, and the prey is a human being who has always been high. This change was so fast that it startled the audience with countless gasps.
Most of the Jiuyang sky foxes seen by ordinary people are plain white, with soft and slender fluff and fluffy tails. With oval pupils, slightly squinted, as if forever shrouded in a layer of mist, it is pitiful. The ears are sharp and horn-shaped, occasionally smell the wind a few times, alert with a bit of cuteness, plus the body size has always been very pocket-sized, from childhood to adulthood is only the size of an adult cat, the snow ball is general, the appearance looks cute, very popular with the daughters of the noblewoman, so many businesses raise them as cute pets and then sell them.
However, the one on display in the underground auction is unique, a beast pet like a killing machine, with sharp claws, a vigorous posture, white Sensen's teeth and bright and bewitching blood, reflecting a beautiful picture. If you look closely, you can see that under the little fox's dark pupils is endless darkness, full of bestiality, as if the fangs will open for you at any time, bite your throat while you are not careful, suck your blood out, eat its flesh, chew your bones, and then lick the hair, as white as the original, clean and proudly leave.
This kind of violent and cruel beauty is feared, of course, there are many people who love it, especially after opening the curtain and seeing the real thing, their bidding heart is even stronger. There are many pets, but there are fewer that can assist the owner in hunting, and the more wild and untamable, the more they feel the desire to conquer.
"Room 407, 500,000."
"Room 318, 510,000."
"Room 603, 550,000."
……
The auctioneer reads the bidder's bid in his flat voice, and the first round of bidding quickly heats up, after all, this kind of aggressive and aggressive pet is more popular than the kind of unaggressive pet.
"Little sister, do you like it? Do you want me to take a picture of you? "Although I feel that the fierce Jiuyang Sky Fox is too animalistic, but the appearance is really cute, raised by the little sister and slowly tamed, while he is young, it is easy to cultivate a sense of loyalty, and he can protect the owner, Ye Zhenglin wants to take a picture for his little sister.
saw Ye Nuan take a sip of water, shook his head and refused, "Don't, it's too unjust to die in my hands." ”
At this time, Qi Yuyan interjected, "Jiuyang Sky Fox is actually quite easy to raise, and it is not so precious, after all, it is still a mutant beast, and its physique is strong, but its appearance is too deceptive." ”
"yes." Ye Zhenglin agreed.
However, Ye Nuan still shook his head, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the fox picture on the electronic light curtain projected in the air, and said, "I mean it's dying, it died in my hands, I was too wronged." People who don't know still think that I am tyrannical and cruel to small animals. ”
"Oh? However, this underground auction is running very formally, and every procedure is strictly inspected, and basically there will be no sick pets flowing out, how can Miss Ye see that the Jiuyang Sky Fox is going to die? Qi Yuyan asked.
"The poisonous gas invades the heart, and it can't be saved, and of course it can't be found. However, there is one person who will definitely buy it. ”
As soon as she said this, she heard the auctioneer on the stage knock the gavel three times and said, "Congratulations to the VIP of 101 for winning the first lot of this auction for 3 million, and the fierce Jiuyang Sky Fox." (To be continued.) )
