Chapter 42 A leaf knows autumn, and the phoenix falls into the sycamore
"It's him, the young hall master of the Shengong Pavilion. ”
Dao Cheng was a little surprised, and at the same time a little puzzled, "I've only met once, why is he hostile to me?"
"Is it?"
He couldn't help but glance at the two women beside him, and muttered in his heart, "Could it be that you ran into the jealousy mentioned in the book?"
"Interesting ......"
Dao Cheng suddenly became a little interested, but interest is interested, and vigilance is still essential.
"Anyway, you have to watch out for this guy. ”
......
Gatherings have always been a good place to exchange feelings, whether you know each other or not, three or two glasses of wine together, there is naturally a root bond. As for the next, whether it is like-minded, groveling, or flattery, it depends on the needs of the individual.
In order to attract these potential customers, Shengongkan really spent a lot of effort, and even invited a band to play on the side.
The atmosphere of the banquet was also quite harmonious, and most people were talking and laughing in low voices.
But there is something going on in the main seat......
On the main seat, there are two old marquis of the mighty Elephant Mountain, and there are not many people who dare to speak. After all, this is not a big party, only some stone carving enthusiasts, they are too different from these two statuses, to be honest, if it is not for a common hobby, they will not see each other.
Moreover, these two don't deal with each other, and as soon as they get on the field, they will sneer at each other. The others were even more afraid to speak, for fear of offending one or the other, which made the main seat even more embarrassed.
The owner of the Shengong Pavilion relied on his identity as the master, and said a few good words, but found that no one paid attention to him at all, so he had to smile and drink alone in embarrassment.
"Alright!" one of the white-haired old men slapped the table, "Remove all these glamorous sounds! The good Xiangshan atmosphere has been spoiled by you pretending to be noble! I really don't understand, the Eastern Magic Empire is full of decay and depravity, what is there to learn about these things!"
"Old man Luo, what do you know? This is called honorable! This is called elegant!" another blue-eyed and white-bearded old man sneered, "If you are still beautiful, you deserve to stay in Xiangshan, and you will be laughed to death when you go out!"
"Get out!" the white-haired old man glanced at him and said unceremoniously, "What are you pretending to be a tyrant, if you old man Chen can understand, grandpa, I will unload my head for you!"
"Do you understand?" the white-haired old man smiled disdainfully, "I don't embarrass you, just tell me what the name of this song is?"
The blue-eyed old man's face changed, and he picked up a glass of wine and drank it.
"I don't know, right? Hahahaha!" The white-haired old man laughed loudly, "Laughing to death grandpa, just you are a, Lao Tzu still doesn't know your details?
"Although Lao Tzu doesn't know, Lao Tzu will accept and appreciate it, unlike some people who blindly resist, I think he is not worthy of living in this era, it's time to see the ancestors!"
"You!" The white-haired old man stood up suddenly, his hair furious, and said coldly, "Even if Lao Tzu goes to see the ancestors and ancestors, he will take you with him!"
"Just you?" the blue-eyed old man also slowly got up.
The smell of gunpowder started, and the others dared to sit still, so they quickly left their seats, and now, the only thing that hindered the two of them was the table in front of them.
The blue-eyed old man patted lightly, and the round table immediately moved towards the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man stood still, and the moment the table hit, the red light around him flashed, and the table immediately fell back at a faster speed.
"Resist the Ring of Fire!" The corner of the blue-eyed old man's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he said softly, "Wind kill!"
I saw it open its mouth and spit it out, and suddenly, the air waves were rolling in mid-air, and the wind blades were twisting the flying table into powder little by little!
The white-haired old man was stunned when he saw this, and then his face changed greatly, "You...... Have you realized another mystery?"
"Hahahaha! Have you found it?" The old man with blue eyes laughed happily, and then used the wind to transmit the sound, "Old man Luo, you can die with confidence, and I will break through the realm of the realm and prolong my life." Soon, we won't be people of the same world, hahahaha!"
The white-haired old man was silent when he heard this, and took half a step back in a daze.
"Yielded?"
has been fighting an old opponent all his life, and today, the blue-eyed old man is very comfortable.
"Today's trip is not in vain, not in vain!"
Suddenly, his heart moved, "It's better to take advantage of the present to see what kind of masterpiece it is, it's best to snatch it away in front of this stone idiot!
With the plan in mind, he couldn't wait to see the old opponent's angry appearance of vomiting blood, so he asked the master of the Shengong Pavilion with a sad face on the side, "Pavilion master, what kind of masterpiece?"
The old hall owner sighed secretly, walked out, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "This matter is planned by my son Tianqi, old marquis, can you allow him to come out and support him." ”
"Accurate!" is in a good mood, and the blue-eyed old man doesn't pay too much attention to it.
At the signal of the old hall owner, Shi Tianqi, the master of the Shengong Young Pavilion, left his seat, walked to the middle of the crowd with a folding fan in his hand, gave a salute, and said loudly: "Thank you for coming to the hall in your busy schedule, I know that everyone is anxious, so I won't talk nonsense, everyone, please follow me to the exhibition hall." ”
Everyone came out one after another, and soon, the old hall owner was the only one left in the lobby, and he couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the slight mess around him.
"I'm old, unintentional and powerless, and the Shengong Pavilion is my highest achievement. It's just, Qi'er, he ...... Too ambitious, hey...... Let him toss, it's a big deal to go back to Shicun's hometown. ”
......
In the exhibition hall, everyone gathered around the auction platform in the middle, and only the two old men and Shi Tianqi, who was the master, stepped on the high platform.
Condescendingly, looking at everyone's eager eyes, Shi Tianqi's heart was surging.
"The reason why I brought everyone here must have been understood. ”
"That's right! Heavenly ingenuity, I don't dare to take it for myself, I am willing to take out the gods, and you appreciate it, if you like it, you can also make some small money to take away the collection. ”
With that, with a wave of his hand, a total of nine exhibition boxes appeared on the high platform, each of which was covered with a black cloth, which looked quite mysterious.
"Everyone, the masterpiece is here!" Shi Tianqi smiled slightly.
The blue-eyed old man looked at Shi Tianqi, who was radiant, and suddenly nodded at him, "The kid is good!"
Shi Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of flattery, and he said with a little surprise: "Thank you for the praise of the old marquis, the villain knows that he is ...... talented."
"Huh~" The blue-eyed old man stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "You can learn again when you are young, don't be presumptuous." ”
"Yes, thank you for your advice. Shi Tianqi bowed his hand and said very respectfully.
The blue-eyed old man accepted it calmly, and then smiled, "My great-granddaughter admires you very much, I think you are not a bad boy, in this way, you pick a good day, come to the door to propose, and I will cultivate you well in the future!"
As he spoke, the old man patted Shi Tianqi on the shoulder.
Shi Tianqi froze with a smile, and everyone below him looked weird.
The girl in the green dress covered her mouth even more, and endured it hard.
"How is it possible to marry Chen Shifei's blue-eyed pig?" Shi Tianqi was a little crazy, he didn't have to look at it, just thinking of Chen Shifei's appearance, he had the desire to vomit.
"Old marquis...... I...... I ......"
The blue-eyed old man's smile faded, "What?
"Villain...... Villain ......"
Shi Tianqi wanted to cry, why didn't anyone else appreciate him! He had a dream, he hoped to establish the Shi family, join the Xiangshan Alliance, and become an upper-class person. To this end, he worked hard, inherited his father's inheritance at a young age, and did a good job, and became well-known in the circle.
He thinks he has a good skin, and he hopes to marry a young lady from a big family to help him fulfill his dream.
Now, the eldest lady is here, but it is not the beauty like Miss Ye he wants, but the pig of the Chen family.
"Three Ancestors and Six Sects, why do you treat me like this!"
The blue-eyed old man looked at his painful expression, and suddenly felt as uncomfortable as eating a bed bug. He knows what his girl looks like, but there is no need to exaggerate it so much, what is the difference between disliking it like this and slapping him!
"Okay, boy, if you don't want to, forget it, the old man won't embarrass you. The blue-eyed old man smiled disapprovingly, but secretly gritted his teeth.
"Thank you, old marquis, thank you, old marquis!" Shi Tianqi thanked again and again as if he had escaped death, and sweat broke out on his forehead, which made the blue-eyed old man sneer even more.
"Okay, kid, let's host the auction!" said softly to the blue-eyed old man, quietly mobilizing his spiritual power to affect Shi Tianqi's sanity.
Shi Tianqi was dizzy and uncovered eight small pieces of black cloth in a row, so as to get rid of the influence of the blue-eyed old man.
"Strange, didn't I prepare to mobilize the atmosphere one by one, why did I uncover it all at once?"
He was startled, and his heart was not good, and the corners of the blue-eyed old man's mouth that he subconsciously glimpsed made him feel even colder.
"What the hell did he?"
But the matter has come to this, and he can't regret it in front of so many people, so he has to follow the script he thought about before.
"These eight works, I think everyone can see, are carved in the Eight Kings Mountain of our Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. ”
"Very distinctive!"
"And, if you look closely, they are all masterpieces of both form and spirit. ”
"It's a rare and excellent collection. ”
"This time, in order to give back to all the new and old members, these eight works are all auctioned at a low price of 1,000 stones, and you can bid. ”
As soon as Shi Tianqi's words fell, the blue-eyed old man followed.
"I'll give you eight thousand, and I'll ask for all eight of these things!"
The blue-eyed old man said as he spoke, his dark blue eyes swept everyone, and suddenly, several people who were interested in bidding also lost their minds.
After no one spoke for a long time, Shi Tianqi couldn't help but glance at the white-haired old man, "Stone idiot, stone idiot, haven't you always been at odds with Old Man Chen?
It's a pity that he didn't know that the breakthrough of the blue-eyed old man made the white-haired old man jealous, and besides, the white-haired old man had just obtained a few Xuanjing carvings, which were much stronger than this stone, so there was no need to provoke the madman again.
In the end, eight masterpieces were auctioned at a low price of 8,000 to the old man with blue eyes.
Shi Tianqi's heart was dripping blood, originally he was going to start the auction at zero reserve price and make a good reputation. But with this one, he thought about it, but gave up the high-priced starting price and adhered to the principle. He firmly believes that even if he loses this time, as long as his reputation is out, he will earn it back in the future!
Besides, if someone dares to bid, if others don't say it, will the stone idiot not make a bid? He loves stones, and he is good at competing with the old marquis of the Chen family. These two people are the confidence of his bidding party.
But he never expected that the bottom air was leaking!
The reason why he added a thousand was that he simply thought that if it didn't work out, he could still collect the capital for tonight's party.
But in the end, only this simple idea was realized.
"My day, what's wrong with the stone idiot," Shi Tianqi scolded in his heart, regretting it, "I knew that they couldn't fight, and I still had a bidding party, my Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range!"
Under the gaze of everyone, he barely showed a smile and pulled the last piece of black cloth.
"Wow!"
"My day!"
"The Three Ancestors and Six Sects are above, what did I see!?"
The audience suddenly burst into exclamations, and several people tried to stretch their necks to see clearly.
The corners of the white-haired old man's eyes were slightly moist, and he was also shocked.
This time, even if I offend him, I have to get it!"
"One thousand, I want it!"
Before Shi Tianqi could speak, the blue-eyed old man took the lead in speaking lazily.
All the people present are stone carving enthusiasts, but no matter how good the work is, they have to have their lives to reward it! The old marquis of the Chen family can't be provoked! They can only cry out in vain.
"After tonight, maybe I'll become a joke in Xiangshan!" Shi Tianqi's heart was broken.
At this moment, the white-haired old man stepped forward.
"I'll give a million!"
"Old man Luo!" the blue-eyed old man narrowed his eyes.
"Old man Chen, I'm a stone idiot, the whole Xiangshan knows that the gods are in front of me, please forgive me for not being indifferent!" said the white-haired old man through gritted teeth.
"You've figured out what you're going to do against me!" The blue-eyed old man glanced at him coldly and said, "You don't want your Luo family to be bloodied after you fall!"
"You!"
"This kid provoked me, I just want to teach him a lesson, you'd better not interfere, otherwise I'll make your Luo family look good!" The blue-eyed old man glanced at him and said, "One million and one piece!"
The white-haired old man looked at the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range in front of him, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he suddenly groaned, and two lines of turbid tears flowed out in pain.
"Grandpa!" the girl in the red dress couldn't help but shout, her brows furrowed, and her eyes turned red.
"The young lady is sad, it's for her grandfather, I should help her. Dao Cheng nodded secretly and pulled the arm of the girl in the red dress.
"What are you doing!" the girl in the red dress couldn't help but be a little irritated when she was sad.
Dao Cheng didn't care, beckoned, and muttered in her ear.
The girl in the red dress suddenly widened her eyes, "Are you sure?"
Daocheng nodded slowly but firmly.
The eyes of the two intersected, and the strange feeling in Dao Cheng's heart became more and more intense, inexplicably, he wanted to hug her.
The girl in the red dress blushed, bit her lip, turned around and walked away.
......
Moments later, the four gathered in the VIP room.
The old man looked at Dao Cheng excitedly, "Little master, you said it was your work?"
"Yes, old man. Daocheng nodded, and then snickered, "Actually, that's just my practice, you don't need to be so sad." ”
"What!"
The other three were stunned, practicing?
"Little ...... Little master, you ...... Don't be kidding!"
"Old man, please see," Dao Cheng didn't make a defense, but just took out the Xuanjing version of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range that Shi Zhongxiong handed over to him in the ring.
The eyes of the three of them suddenly straightened, and the white-haired old man trembled his hands, and tears fell down.
"Incredible...... It's incredible!"
"If you like it, I'll sell it to you. Dao Cheng smiled, "Anyway, selling it to others is the same as selling, and selling it to people who like it makes me feel more at ease." ”
"Buy, I'll buy, I'll pay 10,000!" the old man grabbed Daocheng's shoulder, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
However, it was fortunate that he grabbed Dao Cheng's shoulder, otherwise Dao Cheng would have fallen down.
Ten thousand? When the knife became a board, his legs were weak.
"Grandpa, it's too tall, it's too high, it scares me!" he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It's not high, it's worth it, it's definitely worth it!"
"If it is carved in stone, I estimate that it will be worth 500 to 10 million, but this is carved out of Xuanjing, and the value is naturally different. ”
The old man said that it is nothing more than a stone version of easy carving, but it is not easy to preserve, and if it is weathered a little, the charm may be gone, but Xuanjing is not.
Dao Chengdu understands these, but he feels that he really didn't spend so much effort when carving, and his heart is really high.
After arguing for a long time, Dao Cheng only took one-third, that is, 33.3 million.
The old man is also very helpless, no matter how high this child is, he won't sell it, it's really ...... Silly boy!
Three thousand three million Xuan Shi, it is too troublesome for the real thing, Dao Cheng saw a sentence in the book for the first time - wealth is just a few lines of numbers for a big family.
The old man handed the paper with the data in Daocheng's hand and said, "Put it away, child, there is my spiritual imprint on it, you can go to Luo's house to get it at any time, you know?"
"Got it, old man!" Dao Cheng nodded obediently.
The old man was overjoyed, couldn't help but rub his head, and said with a smile: "Child, where are you from? Do you have a family?
"Grandpa, I am a native of Xiangshan, and my family lives near the water. ”
"As for the family, it seems to be gone, and my family is left with me and my father, and a younger brother. ”
"If you have qualifications......" In hesitation, Dao Cheng lowered his head, "My qualifications are very low, very low." ”
"Good boy, don't be sad. The old man sighed, "It's nothing if you can't be a magician, if you want, I can recommend you to enter the Canglan Empire Military Academy, I don't know what you think?"
"Canglan Empire?" Blade Horse shook his head, "I want to be with my father." ”
"Silly boy, people have to grow up. The old man smiled, "In that case, then you remember, when you want to go, come to me again, you know?"
"Got it, thank you, old man!" Daocheng bowed solemnly.
"Okay!" The old man waved his hand to put away the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, looked at the girl in the green dress, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yezi, it's not early, can you trouble you to send the little brother back, Tongtong and I still have something to say." ”
"No problem, old marquis. ”
......
When the two left, the grandparents and grandchildren sat next to each other.
The old man sighed, "I can feel it, my time is running out!"
"Grandpa, don't say that. Tears flowed from the girl's eyes.
"Tongtong don't cry, you listen to me, you are the hope of our Luo family. If the Locke family is in trouble after my fall, I hope you can be selfish and focus on protecting yourself. ”
"Because, with your qualifications, sooner or later you will be able to achieve great things, and it is even possible to be an ancestor in the future, and when the time comes, it will be the time when our Luo family will really rise!"
"But before you rise, no matter what happens to the Locke family, even if it is destroyed, you can't come out, you know!?"
"Grandpa......"
"Secondly, I want to mention one more point, some of what your parents say is, you don't have to take it seriously! What a portal, what help, life in the world, rely on yourself! You know?"
“......”
......
"Sister, do you think we will see each other again?" Dao Cheng suddenly felt a little reluctant.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be!" The girl in the green dress smiled playfully and patted Daocheng on the back.
"Hmm!" Daocheng nodded heavily, "I also believe that there will be a chance to meet again!"
Silently moving forward, at the end of the lantern, Dao Cheng stopped.
"Sister, my name is Daocheng, the knife of the knife, the achievement of Cheng. ”
"My sister's name is Ye Qiu, Yiye Zhiqiu, her name is Luo Tong, Fengluo Wutong, remember?"
"Remember!" Dao Cheng smiled suddenly, "Sister, let's send it here!"
