The book continued from the above, Ma Ma and the others entered the secret room in the mysterious snow company and found another magic talisman jade bi and also found a lot of girls' heads and dried corpses, everything went well, but there were still doubts in their hearts, Jin Jiyu's subordinate A Bing called the police with a public phone, and soon the police entered the mysterious snow company and forcibly opened the secret room to find those terrifying and weird things inside. When the police entered the Mystery Snow Company, Xia Xue had already boarded the plane to the Republic of Sealand, and Xia Ying disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

The story also starts with Ma Ma and others entering the Mystery Snow Company, and Shen Yifan and others restarting in Qingzhu Villa.

The auction of Qingzhu Villa started on time at twelve o'clock in the morning, Shen Yifan and others watched in the courtyard as eight Kong Ming lanterns of the same size rose in the east, and then countless Kong Ming lanterns were raised in the sky over the entire long street, and the scene was very spectacular. At this time, the long street was still silent, and it didn't take long to hear a carriage coming from the long street, and three gongs were repeated along the way, and then the flow of people on the long street became more and more, and the originally dark long street was suddenly dimly lit, and classical music sounded, and all the stalls and shops on the long street were open for business.

Shen Yifan and the others wore masks and walked forward with the flow of people, all the people on the street wore all kinds of masks, no one knew who, the shops on both sides began to open and sold most of them were antiques and other things, and there were also some very strange things.

Fang Zi looked at it dizzily and said, "This 'ghost market' is really worthy of its name. ”

Shen Yifan didn't think much of what was in front of him, he didn't know what could make him feel like this, his brain seemed to have been repeating some intermittent fragments, feeling that he had seen such a scene a long time ago.

'Ghost City' was originally famous in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty experienced a major earthquake, and the city was plunged underground, and later the imperial court rebuilt a new Chang'an City on top of the original underground city, and the underground city was named 'Ghost Market' by some people as a place for night trading. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a penalty of 'committing a night offense', which meant that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a curfew at night, and any ordinary people could not walk on the street without special permission, except for the special nature of the work, such as official errands, patrols, etc., and these people must also wear specific clothes in specific places. And the Tang Dynasty we know is lit up at night, and the traffic is actually not in line with the laws of the time, if there are a few more specific places and these places are specially provided for the powerful to enjoy, and ordinary people are not allowed to go out at night, once they are caught, they will be punished by the 'twelve battles', that is, they will be beaten twelve boards. Some people had to go out at night to survive in order to survive, thus giving birth to underground ghost markets, which they would sink into the places that could be used underground as places of trade. Because they want to avoid the investigation of the government, many people say that the ghost market is extremely terrifying and weird, and over time, the ghost market will be talked about by ghosts. In fact, the ghost market was where ordinary people set up stalls to make a living in order to survive, but they could avoid the investigation of the government, so there would be some illegal things, such as things taken from the tomb, so those who smuggled antiques especially used the gimmick of 'ghost market' to do business, in fact, there is no difference between the ghost market in the antique shop and the antique trading places on the bright surface such as South Park, the only difference is that it is not subject to the pressure of the law and has its own system. Buying something in a ghost market is either a strange thing or relying on your own eyesight, these are also rules left a long time ago. The participants of the ghost market opened by that kind of force must act in accordance with the rules of the power side, and they do not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

The ghost market of Qingzhu Villa is completely a gimmick put forward by Yumantang to cater to the atmosphere of the Qingzhu auction, and how can the things sold by the shops on the long street get into the eyes of those who come to participate in the auction, but there are also many people who have never been to the ghost market again, and everything here still feels fresh and fun.

The flow of people went to the east, and Shen Yifan and his entourage also walked with the flow of people, and saw that there was a five-story classical building in front of the long street, which was a bit like a temple, but it didn't look like it, because they found that the flow of people in front of them was actually going down, as if it suddenly disappeared from their eyes, everyone was wearing masks, and no one had any communication with anyone, like a ghost team, and suddenly disappeared at the end of the long street, giving people a very strange feeling.

Fang Zi asked on the side, "Where is this going?" Why did everyone go down? ”

Shen Yifan said: "It should be a basement or something." ”

As soon as the words were settled, they also followed the flow of people to the courtyard of the building, and saw that it was indeed a temple, and the flow of people slowly entered on both sides of the temple's Daxiong Treasure Hall, entering a passage that could enter three people side by side at the same time, and there was a group of staff with faceless masks on the side of the passage to guide the direction, and the staff of Qingzhu Villa were wearing faceless masks to distinguish them from the guests, and it was also convenient for the guests to find them for help.

The passage is very long and spacious, after entering the passage, Shen Yifan looked around and found that the passages here are actually made of large bluestone irregular masonry, which is not built by modern people at all, it should be built by the ancients. And the passage is very dim, completely relying on the candles in each shield-shaped groove on the stone wall to illuminate the face, this kind of candle is black, not like ordinary candles, although the light is not big, but it looks very burn-resistant, and then you can see a big entrance, both sides of the entrance are carved simple patterns, according to Shen Yifan's opinion, this should be an ancient tomb at the earliest, and the entrance should be to the main tomb, according to the scale of this road, it should be a tomb of a prince and general, It is possible that it was stolen by the Jin family and used as a trading place for the ghost market. When you enter the hall, you can see that the lights are brilliant, the decoration is very magnificent, and there is nothing special except for the quaint decoration around it, that is, a two-meter-high red carpet platform in the middle is a little more attractive, and many people in the hall are holding wine glasses in their hands and looking at the exhibits in the display case.

The Green Bamboo Auction is very special, it is completely open unlike other auctions, the exhibits are all displayed in glass display cases, and the Green Bamboo Villa provides everyone with a buffet and other food, so that everyone can enjoy it slowly. The faceless masked staff wandered around it, and at a glance, they knew that they were basically security guards or something. Although many people are wearing masks, it seems that some people are familiar people, drinking and chatting in groups, men and women are watching, and most of them are very familiar with this place.

Shen Yifan found an inconspicuous corner and looked at the display cabinet of the 'Magic Rune Jade', and found that there was no one there, but seeing that there were several people around with their eyes staring at the display case, Shen Yifan said to himself: "The dark tide is surging!" ”

At this time, a gong was heard, and then everyone quieted down, and they saw a cheongsam girl with a moving figure walking up to the high platform in the middle, holding a microphone in her hand and saying with a smile: "Welcome guests to Qingzhu Villa." The green bamboo auction is about to begin. Everyone has a bamboo card in their hand, and if you want to make a bid, you just need to show the bamboo card. Each bid in our auction is 1 million, and you can also increase the price directly to your designated price. You can see that there is a row of red lanterns on my left-hand side, if someone wants a fixed price, you can notify the staff around you to light one, paste your bamboo plate number, this is called the sky lantern, once the light is lit, that is the auction of the object, every time you ask for the price, you add 500,000 until no one bids with you. ”

At this point, everyone was in an uproar, and many people were whispering.

"This is the sky lantern." "Oh - this is the sky lantern that the Leng family lit once ten years ago."

The girl said, "If there are two or more lanterns lit up on an object, it will be the only one left behind." If any of them light the sky lantern, I don't need to elaborate on the consequences. ”

"Without further ado, let's get started! There are still rules that the person doesn't know. The burly man in the ghost mask in the audience shouted, "This time I will definitely win the finale." As soon as the man finished speaking, someone shouted, "Yes! Brighten up the finale, that's the old rule. It's hard to be a big beauty on the stage. As soon as the words came out, the audience burst into laughter.

Shen Yifan was also curious to know what the last object was, and the starting price was actually 100 million. As soon as I thought of this, I saw the door behind everyone slowly close, and then the raindrops of drums sounded, and with the sound of drums, I saw the presiding girl standing on the side, and the bottom of the high platform slowly recessed, and at this time, the whole venue was silent, waiting for the so-called finale.

Fang Zi and Shen Yifan also looked intently at the center of the high platform, accompanied by a burst of classical guzheng music, and the center of the high platform slowly rose, and as the high platform rose, everyone watched intently.

Shen Yifan was also shocked when he saw the high platform rising, it turned out that after the high platform rose, it was not an object but a beautiful girl without a mask, the girl was wearing a light gauze costume and sitting in the center and playing the guzheng, the girl's figure was extremely graceful, her face was beautiful, as if she was an ancient beauty, delicate and dignified, and a song of Guangling San was also fascinating.

Fang Zi said: "That guzheng actually wants 100 million? As soon as the words came out, I found that there were whispers all around.

"This beauty is a must, and you won't lose anything if you shoot it back."

"But it's 100 million, this kind of stunning beauty is really priceless!"

When Shen Yifan heard this, he realized that the finale lot was not an object but the girl on the stage, and thought to himself: "There is still a matter of buying and selling human beings, this jade hall is bold!" ”

Before Shen Yifan could think about it, the center of the high platform slowly lowered to the ground, and the supporter came to the center and said in a pleasant silver bell-like voice: "The auction has officially begun." The first lot is the 'Magic Talisman Jade' in the glass display case in the middle of the hall on the right side. ”

As soon as the host's words fell, he saw that everyone's eyes fell on the glass display cabinet where the 'magic rune jade' was placed, and the supporter said: "The dynasty of the magic rune jade is unknown, and the role is unknown. Legend has it that there are six pieces in total, and three of them are here. The starting bid is five million. Before the host finished speaking, a bamboo sign in the southeast corner had been raised, and everyone looked at the southeast corner in unison.

As Shen Yifan expected, there were two masked women in the southeast corner, and there was no need to ask Xia Xue and Xia Ying, and before the host could speak, he saw a sign in the south and said: "I want three pieces for 30 million." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the south side in unison, and on the south side was a man wearing a jacket that was very inconspicuous.

Shen Yifan was still wondering when he saw a sign in the north holding up: "Forty million and three yuan are all for it." "The voice was stiff, and it looked a bit like a foreigner. Shen Yifan guessed that the man should be the real estate tycoon Yuan Tianlong, and the foreigner should be Richard.

At this time, someone in the audience whispered: "What is this magic talisman jade, and how high can it be auctioned?" ”

"There is a legend that the magic rune jade is related to a shocking treasure."

When the three pieces of magic rune jade were excluded from 40 million, the audience was already in an uproar, the magic rune jade bi did not know much in the entire antique shop, and few people knew what it was used for, so these three pieces alone could not be hooked at all, that is to say, if it was six pieces, it would be understandable to auction a high price, but these three pieces had already reached 40 million, which was already a sky-high price.

Just when everyone was still guessing who these three pieces of jade flowers would belong to, they heard a woman's voice on the southeast corner holding up a sign and saying, "Fifty million." ”

Before the word '10,000' was settled, Yuan Tianlong and Richard held up bamboo cards at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Sixty million." ”

"Oh my God! Sixty million! Fang Zi was already dumbfounded when he heard it, that is to say, Shen Yifan is now worth 20 million, it seems that this auction will continue, and I don't know what the price will be at that time.

There are not many words, the three families have come and gone, and in less than ten minutes, the three pieces of jade have been auctioned at a sky-high price of 150 million, Shen Yifan on the side looked at it in his eyes, and guessed in his heart that it should be a piece of jade in each of the three families, if so, the six pieces of jade are already complete, but even if the party wins these three pieces of jade at a high price, it can't be a set, at this time Shen Yifan is also suspicious in his heart, and he doesn't know where the three families are.

After more than ten minutes, when Yuan Tianlong auctioned it at a price of 100 million per piece of jade, Richard's eyes had subconsciously looked beyond the corner of the west of the hall, Shen Yifan had already noticed Richard's subtle movements, and with Richard's gaze, there was a person with a God of Wealth mask sitting in the corner of the west of the hall, and a person with a Nezha mask was standing next to him, Shen Yifan immediately guessed that the person should be Jin Wanli - Jin Ye.

The man slowly stood up and left the hall, and Richard waved his hand and said, "Okay! I throw in the towel. With that, he left the hall. Just when the quotation was about to be made in the southeast corner, one of the women answered the phone, and her face immediately turned as white as wall ash, and as soon as the woman on the side said, the two immediately left the hall. After the final decision of the three hammers, Yuan Tianlong took down three pieces of magic rune jade.

Although the auction that follows is exciting, there is not much to say, a rough overview. Before the last blind lot, all kinds of antiques can be said to be dizzying, and Shen Yifan, who saw it, was also an eye-opener, he silently calculated in his heart that this auction estimated that the transaction volume had reached nearly five billion so far, which was astronomical.

At this point, the auction is over, and the final blind auction session is ready. Everyone is also eating and drinking separately, and there are acquaintances chatting together.

The host said on stage: "Ladies and gentlemen. Half an hour later, we will start the finale of this auction - the blind auction. ”
