CHAPTER XX: THE AUCTION 1
"Xiao Yao, you practice first, I'll be back soon." After speaking, Yechen jumped lightly and disappeared in place.
Murong Shiyao was startled at first, but quickly regained her composure and muttered, "When can I be as powerful as Brother Chen, then I won't need Brother Chen's protection anymore, maybe...... Maybe you can go back to see grandpa with Brother Chen......"
…………
Yechen stood in the woods below the hill and watched the limousines speed by.
Something is wrong, this place is estimated to be difficult to see by a car on weekdays, after all, this is already a suburb. And the surrounding is full of deserted hills, and the mountains are densely packed with trees of all colors, which is not a tourist attraction at all. Could it be that the young master said by the men in black was sent here? Yechen immediately gave up on the idea after observing it, because none of the cars stopped in the vicinity, but drove deeper into the suburbs.
"Forget it's none of my business, I'd better go back." Yechen shook his head softly and disappeared in place again.
…………
"Shi Yao, what are you doing here?" A middle-aged man's voice sounded from behind Murong Shiyao.
"Huh?" Murong Shiyao suddenly turned her head and looked behind her, "It turned out to be Uncle Hai, I'm practicing." ”
"Practice??" Hai Pu looked at Murong Shiyao with some puzzlement.
"Hmmm! Brother Chen is teaching Xiao Yao to practice, but Brother Chen has just gone out, so Xiao Yao is here alone to practice first. Murong Shiyao still stood in a posture of Zamabu, with her fists flat on her chest.
"How long has Shi Yao been practicing here?"
"En......" Murong Shiyao raised her head slightly and thought for a while, "I don't know...... Xiao Yao didn't remember the time. ”
"Then why don't you rest for a while? It's okay to wait until Yechen comes back and continue! ”
"No need!" Murong Shiyao shook her head gently, "Brother Chen will be back soon, Brother Chen won't let Xiao Yao wait too long." ”
"Okay." Hai Pu gently tugged Hai Yao behind him, "Xiao Yao went in and helped Shi Yao get a glass of water." ”
"Hmm!" Hai Yao nodded lightly, looked at Murong Shiyao with an indescribable look, turned around and went into the hut.
"Hmmm! Not bad! Xiaoyao, you can take a break. Yechen appeared behind Murong Shiyao at some point.
"Hmm!" After hearing Yechen say that he could take a rest, Murong Shiyao suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Yechen walked to Murong Shiyao's side gently, gently lifted Murong Shiyao up with one hand, and held a grass that he couldn't name in the other hand: "Don't be in a hurry to sit down after practicing, first gently walk up two steps and relax, otherwise practicing will not be much different from fitness." ”
"Hmmm! Xiao Yao knows. Murong Shiyao nodded, gently broke away from Yechen's arm, and swayed forward step by step.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect Xiaochen to have the potential to be a teacher." Haepu praised it lightly.
"It's nothing, I'm just a hard copy of how the master taught me before."
"Then you can't patronize Teaching Shiyao and forget our family Haiyao." Haepu chuckled.
"No, Uncle Hai, you go and sit down first, I'm going to plant this herb." Yechen gently arched the herbs in his hand. "Shi Yao, give me the water in your hand."
"Hmm"
Yechen took the water and splashed it directly on the green leaves of the herbs, and ran directly to the back of the hut with the herbs in his arms.

North Lake Shennongjia Forest Area
A slender figure walks alone in the woods.
"Smack!" A stone was kicked by the maiden into a tree in front of her.
"I don't know what Senior Brother Yechen is doing now, should I go and see Senior Brother Yechen first. No way...... No way...... If Master knew that I went to see Senior Brother Yechen first, he would definitely scold me to death. The girl's head hung down all of a sudden, "Forget it, let's go to Senior Brother Yechen when you complete the task, you can ...... I don't seem to know where Senior Brother Yechen is. "The thought of this girl's head hanging down is all the more serious.
"Smack" (the sound of a tree branch being crushed)
"Who!" Meng Jie turned around suddenly, and a bow with a pale green glow appeared in her hand at some point, and there was an arrow on the bow that was ready to fire, but behind it was only the leaves swept down by the autumn wind, and a thick layer piled up on the ground.
Meng Jie looked at the fallen leaves behind her, slowly put down the bow and arrow, and sighed deeply: "Hey! What's wrong with me, I miss my brother so much that I'm nervous? Forget it, let's go and complete the task given to me by the master first. ”
…………………………………………
"Hey! Hey! Not bad, Xiaochen, the suit is decent, have you ever considered bowing down under your sister's pomegranate skirt. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”
"Yueyue, don't you want me anymore?" Wu Xuan looked at Haiyue pitifully on the side.
"Go! Go! While going, didn't you see that the old lady was fishing for Kaizi? Feed! You let me go, don't catch me......"
"If you don't let it go, you just don't let it go."
"I count to three, one"
"Don't let go, who asked you to hook up with other men in front of me."
"You let go ......"
……
"Hai Yao, did your sister do this before?" The black line at the end of the night.
"I ...... I do not know. ”
"Brother Chen, Sister Yao, let's go, the auction will start in a while." Murong Shiyao entered the auction hall with the arms of the two people in the middle.
The three of them found their places one by one and made them side by side, and next to the seats was a wooden sign with a number written on it, apparently for bidding.
With the sound of the auctioneer's hammer, the auction begins.
The first thing to be auctioned was a jade wrench, with a starting price of 100,000. According to the auctioneer, this wrench seems to have been the belongings of a prince in ancient times. It doesn't seem to have anything special, and it's a little shabby, not at all like Wang Hou's belongings, and it is estimated that even ordinary squires rarely bring it, and it is not even necessary whether it is true or not.
Sure enough, most of the audience also looked impatient, obviously not wanting to waste time on this 'fake', and coaxed to see the next auction item directly.
"One hundred thousand!"
At this time, with a coquettish shout, everyone's eyes were on the bidder.
The bidder was a woman in black, dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, with her hair combed very neatly and slenderly, like a cat in the night, giving people a sense of mystery.
Some scoffed at her ignorance, believing that the jade wrench was not worth the money at all, while others were bewitched by the girl's face.
Only Yechen smiled softly.
"Brother Chen, the jade wrench just now is so beautiful, why doesn't everyone seem to want it?" Murong Shiyao asked puzzled.
"The ring just now has just been unearthed in the past two days, and I don't even know if it's true, saying that it is the wearing object of the ancient king, or it may be a lie. And the jade wrench finger is not too high a collection value. In particular, this material is rarely old-fashioned. ”
"So didn't that sister just now suffer?"
"I can't say that, this ring is not useless, at least we can see the next auction item."
"Really, Brother Chen just likes to joke about Xiao Yao."
"Since no one has raised the price, this jade wrench is this lady's. So let's take a look at the next lot. ”
With the auctioneer's voice, a girl slowly stepped forward from under the stage with a tray.
"The last auction item was obviously a bit disappointing for everyone, but this time it would be a bit unreasonable not to come up with something decent." The auctioneer gently lifts the red cloth from the tray
A set of silver needles lay quietly on the tray, but this set of silver needles only had 4, which was obviously not a complete set. These silver needles are coiled with a silver dragon on the root, the tail of the dragon is below, and the head of the dragon is above, flashing with silver light. The roots reveal the majesty of the dragons. From the point of view of the artwork alone, the price of this set of silver needles is immeasurable.
"This set of silver needles and the jade wrench finger in front are brought by the same person, although the last auction item is a little unsatisfactory, but this one I hope everyone will not be so cold. Everyone is a knowledgeable person, so I won't comment too much on this auction item. The starting price is still 100,000, so let's increase the price as much as you like. This is the only set, so don't miss it. ”
At this time, the audience was already ready to move. After all, such a beautiful set of silver needles, even if it is useless, it is also a superb handicraft at home. All of these people present are not ordinary local tyrants, and the handicrafts worth 100,000 yuan at home may already be considered the cheapest.
Everyone has begun to gear up, and has made an estimate of this set of silver needles in their hearts.
"One hundred thousand"
"One hundred and fifty thousand"
"160,000"
……
I don't know who came, and the people behind them all increased the price, and after a while, the four silver needles had been auctioned to 400,000 each.
"Two Million"
At this time, the woman in black increased the price again, and it was increased to two million at one time. A lot of people have begun to retreat, everyone here is a shrewd person, they don't buy things like other nouveau riche with a hot head, they seem to be rich, and the people here have begun to think that these silver needles are not worth the money, so they simply don't increase the price.
"Two million one-time ......"
"Two million two ......"
"Two million three ......"
"Deal. Congratulations to this young lady for two million for this silver needle. ”
After that, the woman in black never bid again, maybe she was bored, so she simply closed her eyes.
However, Murong Shiyao seemed very active, and kept chatting with Yechen about every auction item.
"Okay, now it's almost over, and the auction items behind me are no longer up to me, although it's a bit of a pity, but it's also something that can't be helped." With that, the auctioneer slowly walked off the auction table and replaced himself with a man in a black robe standing on the auction table.
The black-robed man looked a little evil, and after Yechen saw it, he couldn't see anything at all. It seems that the black-robed man has something hidden on his body.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The black-robed man struck the small hammer.
"Ahem! Cough! I'm the one who will do the auction after that. I know most of you are coming for my stuff, and I don't talk much nonsense. Now the auction of the first piece begins. ”
The black-robed man clapped his hands, and a girl brought up a tray.
The black-robed man gently lifted the red cloth from the tray, which looked like antlers, but was significantly smaller than the antlers.
When the "antlers" were presented, Yechen clearly felt that the people around him began to get excited, revealing hideous faces. Yechen was also a little excited for a moment after seeing it, but quickly suppressed this excitement.
"Gross! ……”
For some reason, Hai Yao suddenly retched.
"Hai Yao, are you okay?" Yechen gently patted Hai Yao's back.
"Brother Night, I'm fine, I just don't know why I feel a little sick after seeing that thing." Hai Yao leaned his forehead on Yechen's arm, grabbed Yechen's sleeve and said reluctantly.
"Since it will be uncomfortable to see it, then don't look at it." Yechen gently stroked Hai Yao's hair and said gently.
"Brother Chen, what the hell is this, it seems that the people around me look very excited."
"Dragonhorn!" Yechen said lightly.
"Ahh Murong Shiyao was immediately stunned, and his speech was a little incoherent, "That... Isn't that something that only exists in legends, and the dragon is so big, and the dragon's horns are so small......"
"This is the dragon's horn after the dragon's transformation, in which all the dragon's power is concentrated in that pair of dragon horns, and the dragon's horns are also the most vulnerable part of the dragon's body. Even if the dragon's horn fell off, the dragons would not easily discard it, let alone appear at auction. ”
"So this dragon horn is fake?"
"No, this dragon horn is real, and this dragon horn did not fall off naturally, but was forcibly cut off."
