The Qingdao branch of Jardine Matheson is located at No. 16 Guantao Road, the manager is the Englishman Manli, the Chinese comprador is Niu Jiwu, and the auction house is presided over by Niu Jiwu.

Niu Ji is in his fifties and fifties, with two mustaches and shrewd eyes scattered everywhere. He knew that this auction was different from the past, this time it was a grand event of strange people, and the auction was even more varied. As an ordinary businessman, Niu Jiwu has a hard time getting in touch with these characters. Jardine Matheson was opened by the British, and these Chinese people came here to trade for the sake of safety.

When Li Ling came in with Ma Liang, the auction hall was already crowded and crowded. There are many monks, nuns, Taoist priests and other people in strange costumes. In addition, there are some people in the martial arts world, such as Li Jinglin, Du Xinwu, Liu Baichuan, Han Muxia, Wang Ziping, etc.

Among the people Li Ling knew, he saw Wang Xingji of Taiqing Palace, and he was followed by several disciples, one of whom was Wang Zongling who cast spells in Jiaogao County. In addition, Mu Qinglian was found in a corner.

At this time, Mu Qinglian did not have a trace of debauchery, she honestly stood with several beautiful young women, and became a beautiful scenery in the hall. Several women surrounded a nun, this nun looked no more than forty years old, although she was not young, she was extremely dignified and beautiful, and she was sitting with Buddha dust in her hand.

As if sensing Li Ling's gaze, Mu Qinglian looked over, and then smiled at Li Ling. Since most of the people were looking at these amazing women, they all looked sideways at Li Ling. Li Ling felt a trace of embarrassment and hurriedly looked away.

In addition to some unborn aliens and people in the rivers and lakes, there are also some Japanese ronins and samurai, and even the Japanese businessman Watanabe Maxiu is present. And the Englishman Mrs. Fleming actually sat in the middle of the front row, and next to her sat a middle-aged Englishman who didn't know if it was her husband.

As soon as he followed Ma Liang to find a seat and sat down, Li Ling saw Niu Jiwu walking to a stone platform in front of him, clenching his fists and saying loudly: "Welcome to Jardine Matheson, I will preside over today's auction as the comprador of Jardine Matheson." Everyone knows that in ancient China, there were mysteries and unpredictable, and all kinds of strange materials and treasures, capable people and strange people emerged in endlessly. For thousands of years, the art of Qimen Dunjia has been kept secret, and we are going to break the sect's view and communicate whether there is or not, and now the auction has officially begun. The first piece to be auctioned today is a dagger. ”

There are some martial arts people sitting here, and there are some aliens who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. This is a rare martial arts event, everyone knows that today's auction will launch the Heavenly Dao Bagua Array Plate, which is a kind of legend, according to legend, getting the Huansheng Reincarnation Stone and the Heavenly Dao Bagua Array Plate can open another space door. Although it is not something that anyone can have, it is still worth the trip to see it. Now that the auction has begun, everyone is quietly waiting.

A handsome young woman came to the stage with a tray in her hand. Niu Jiwu lifted the red cloth that covered him, and a dagger six or seven inches long flashed out with cold light, the dagger style was extremely ordinary, but the handle was carved with some inexplicable patterns. Niu Ji Wuyi held a dagger in his hand, and an ax in one hand, "jingling" collided, and the dagger was unscathed and plunged into the blade of the axe, which shows the sharpness of this dagger.

Niu Ji Wudao: "This dagger is nameless, but it was obtained by touching Captain Jin in an ancient tomb, blowing off his hair and cutting iron like clay." The starting price is 3,000 yuan, and each increase must not be less than 100 yuan. ”

Captain Touching Gold is commonly known as a tomb robber, but no matter where the dagger comes from, this dagger is indeed the best choice for self-defense, even if it is a collection, it is extremely valuable. When Li Ling secretly smacked his tongue at this starting price, someone had already offered the price.

"Two thousand two."

"Two thousand five."

……

Although Li Ling's eyes are red and he has some money on him, he will not spend it indiscriminately, and quietly watch others bid. After a while, the dagger was fired to more than 10,000 yuan, and finally obtained by a strong man with a scruffy beard.

"The auction below is a set of internal exercises. Everyone knows that people who practice martial arts pay attention to regulating qi, and this exercise is a Taoist classic, if you can practice for a long time, you can prolong your life, if it is an organic fate, you can even appreciate the highest state of refining Qi and transforming the gods. The starting price of this auction is 10,000 yuan, and the price increase must not be less than 1,000 yuan each time. ”

"Eleven thousand." As soon as Niu Ji's fifth words fell, someone began to quote.

Each sect basically has a mantra for internal practice, but it is not absolute. These things are not uncommon to those long-established sects, but they are precious to those who practice in the market. After a while, the price rose to 24,000 yuan, and was photographed by an old man with a rich face.

"Today's third lot is a bit special. Everyone has heard of Xiangxi chasing corpses, and expelling corpses can control the upper body of the soul. Now we are auctioning the dossier of the soul encirclement technique, and practicing this spell can control the soul of a person after death, which is extremely mysterious. The starting price is 20,000 yuan. ”

Xiangxi's expulsion of corpses was originally mysterious, but now there is a spell that can control the soul, everyone is very curious, and even Li Ling is excited. There are a lot of supernatural things in the world, of course he believes in the existence of souls, if he can control people's souls after death to make waves in the world, wouldn't it be better to make money with souls. However, there are some drawbacks to it, but the auctioneer will not mention it.

There are a lot of curious people, but there are not many people who bid, after all, this kind of thing is mysterious. In the end, it was only 26,000 yuan.

And the next thing to auction made Li Ling's heart flutter, it was actually the construction drawings of the Mauser C96 pistol, the Mauser 1924 rifle, and the MP18 submachine gun.

The Mauser C96 pistol, also known as the barge gun, is widely used in China. The MP18 submachine gun, commonly known as the flower machine gun, is indispensable in the history of modern Chinese warfare. The Mauser Model 1924 was the most advanced rifle at the time. Li Ling had the idea of manufacturing and selling firearms for a long time, how could he miss such an opportunity.

After the starting price of 50,000 yuan was called, Li Ling did not hesitate to call out 51,000 yuan.

In this auction, they are all people in the martial arts, and everyone loves cold weapons, and shooting firearm drawings is suddenly a little cold. Niu Jiwu saw that there was only one person bidding, his brows furrowed, and he secretly glanced down, and a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman immediately bid 55,000.

Li Ling's offer was beyond Ma Liang's expectations, and Ma Liang said in a low voice: "What's the use of you asking for this kind of drawing?" Now that the auction is raising prices internally, I advise you to give up and let them sell to themselves. ”

The drawings of the three firearms are priceless, but here they sat on a cold bench and found a support to raise the price, but no one raised the price again, Niu Jiwu's face was quite ugly, and he still shouted: "There is no one to increase the price, fifty-five thousand, and there is no one who continues to increase the price." The drawings of three advanced firearms are the fabrication structures that every arsenal dreams of. ”

"Fifty-five for the first time."

"Fifty-five thousand for the second time."

When Niu Jiwu was feeling helpless, the only young man who was bidding finally spoke again.

"Fifty-six thousand." Li Ling quoted again.

Niu Jiwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, he had been in business for half his life, and he actually miscalculated here. I thought that the drawings of the three firearms could be sold for a good price, but in the end, I almost hit myself in the foot with a stone, but fortunately, the thing did not fail. Seeing that no one continued to increase the price, I couldn't wait to close the deal.

Li Ling got the firearm drawings and was also very excited. It only costs tens of thousands of dollars to get the structural principle of the advanced firearms of this era, and if it is imitated, it will get twice the result with half the effort. Satisfied, I felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"Let's auction off one of the most precious spices, Dragon Birthday Incense." Niu Jiwu opened a jade box, and a fragrance spread, and the smell was comfortable.

"Dragon incense is a natural spice, but also a highly valuable medicine. The dragon incense sold here is the most precious white, the color that can only be found in the sea for at least a hundred years. The weight is two kilograms, and the starting price is now 70,000. Please bid. ”

Li Ling has heard of the dragon's birthday incense, which is the secretion of sperm whales, the most long-lasting fragrance, and no spice in the world can compare with it, known as "the fragrance of ambergris coexists with the sun and the moon". The newly born ambergris is not fragrant, and it can be repaired after the friction of the waves, the exposure of the sun, the catalysis of the air and the immersion of seawater for hundreds of years. And this piece of white dragon incense is a good product after thousands of tempers.

"Seventy-five thousand." The first to quote was Mrs. Fleming, who commissioned a translator next to her to directly increase the price by 5,000.

"Seventy-six thousand." The dragon incense that can be used is either rich or expensive, and after Mrs. Fleming asks for the price, there are people competing again.

Mrs. Fleming frowned slightly, and immediately bid "80,000 yuan." "80,000 yuan to buy a few kilograms of dragon birthday incense, the price is already very high, but there are still people who keep increasing the price, and it will be copied to 100,000 yuan after a while.

All the money used in the auction is calculated according to the ocean, 100,000 oceans is definitely a sky-high price, and this money is not a small amount for Mrs. Fleming, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted. And the originally noisy auction was all looking at the few people who kept raising their prices with wide eyes.

Everyone has a love for beauty, like Mrs. Fleming was born in the British aristocracy, her husband is a general with military power, and she has a natural love for luxury goods, especially dragon incense, but the price continues to rise, and she is also a little unbearable, but there is still a Japanese businessman who is constantly bidding.

This Japanese businessman Li Ling knew that it was Watanabe Maxiu who had looked for him. Watanabe Maxiu is determined to get Long Danxiang, he made a windfall by selling tobacco in Qingdao, and it was not a problem to sell 100,000 200,000 yuan, and the money was directly pushed to 150,000.

The 150,000 dragon incense has already exceeded its original value, Mrs. Fleming's face was blue for a while, and she wanted to bid again, but was stopped by the middle-aged man next to her, and finally the dragon incense was won by Watanabe Maxiu.

Niu Ji Wuxi was full of excitement: "The precious spice Dragon Festival Incense was purchased by Mr. Watanabe, congratulations to Mr. Watanabe." Let's auction off one of the most important things of the day, the Heavenly Dao Bagua Reincarnation Array Disk. ”
