Chapter Seventy-Six: The Auction Begins
After coming out of Mao Zhentian's room, Mao Rui returned to his room and took out the materials for refining the talisman.
Once the auction is over, the battle between the Mao family and the Bai family may break out at any time, and Mao Rui needs to improve his combat power as much as possible before the auction starts.
And the auction will start on the morning of the fifth day, and in just a few days, if you want to improve your combat power, Mao Rui can only refine talismans.
Mao Rui spends half an hour every day going to the market to see if he can pick up the leaks. Except for eating, the rest of the time is devoted to refining.
In this frenzied refining day and night, the fifth day has arrived.
Today, on the square of Heling Mountain, the scene is different. The vendors, who are open 24 hours a day on weekdays, were nowhere to be seen as early as the early hours of last night.
In the middle of the square, a circular platform has been erected overnight. The original acquisition site was on the side of the high platform, obscured by a huge curtain. In addition to the direction of the acquisition office, the rest of the square has been built into simple auditoriums.
Near the high platform, there are more than a dozen round tables, each with twenty leather seats, but they are not overcrowded. Looking at the layout, it should be prepared for the major Xiuzhen families and sects, and it belongs to the VIPs.
On the periphery, there are no ordinary audience seats, there are no round tables, and the seats are neatly arranged, although the distance between the seats is not large, but it is enough for people to move around.
Half an hour before the auction began, everyone from the Maoliu family left the temporary accommodation area.
At the entrance of the square, the backing mountain academy, the Heling Sect, and the Chu family jointly set up a checkpoint. Although it is a simple open-air auction, not everyone can enter it. You must know that the auction is open to the cultivation realm of the whole province, and the square is such a small place, it can't accommodate everyone at all. Therefore, the three organizers set up a checkpoint at the door, and anyone who enters the audience must pay a spirit stone.
Mao Rui held his mouth: "Cut, you have to buy tickets when you go in." β
"No one will let go of such a good opportunity to make money. There will be an auction every time. After Mao Shihong handed over all the spirit stones, he said on the side.
Mao Rui was noncommittal and followed everyone inside.
At the door of the accommodation area, Bai Xiulin looked at Mao Rui, who entered the audience, and asked a subordinate next to him, "How was the thing that you were asked to do a few days ago?"
"Don't worry, young master, it's all placed. The servant replied.
Bai Xiulin nodded, and followed the Bai family to the audience.
Entering the audience, under the leadership of a disciple of Heling Mountain, the Maoliu family came to two adjacent round tables and sat down.
Time passed slowly, and there were more and more people in the square.
Mao Rui, who was in the seat, was idle and bored in waiting, and turned his head to look. Fifteen minutes into the auction began, and there were no more seats left in the square.
"Obediently, there are a thousand people at least, one person and one spirit stone, that is a thousand spirit stones, and holding an auction is really a profiteering industry. Mao Rui sighed.
Everyone either practiced for a short time, or closed their eyes to recuperate, and no one paid attention to him at all, even Mao Caiqin and Huang Yan'er, who were mortals.
Mao Rui depressedly took out his mobile phone to play games to pass the time.
Finally, fifteen long minutes passed for Mao Rui, and the auction began.
A bewitching-looking woman with a hot figure, wearing a floor-length red dress, came to the round platform. As soon as it appeared, it caused a wolf howl below.
I saw the woman smile charmingly, her cherry lips opened lightly, and she said in that numb voice: "The little woman Heling Sect Hongling, I have seen all Taoist friends. As he spoke, he leaned over slightly, causing the neckline to hang down.
Many men present, with their necks stretched out, wanted to see the scenery inside the neckline. There was even one person whose eyes were firmly fixed on Hongling's chest and shouted, "Is it small? I think it's quite big, hahahaha." β
When Hongling heard this, not only was she not annoyed, but she glanced at the man with great grace, and that glance made many people's eyes fiery. said with a smile: "Today, the little girl has the honor to preside over this auction on behalf of the three major forces of the Crane Spirit Sect, the Chu Family, and the Gushan Academy. First of all, I would like to explain some of the rules of the auction, the first ...... Finally, the little woman hereby announces that the auction has officially begun, and let's invite the first lot. β
"Roar~~~" As soon as Hongling's voice fell, many men present began to scream, among them, mainly young men.
"Charming?"
Mao Rui pinched his chin, looked at Hongling on the stage with appreciative eyes and asked, but his eyes were clear, without the slightest heat.
"It's not just charming, I'm afraid her physique is born with a great ability to charm. Mao Zhe, who was also admiring Hongling, said.
Mao Hao also said: "The natural charm of cultivating charming, and he has such a good skin, tsk." β
"Hahahaha, no matter how charming this little girl is, hasn't she been able to charm you little guys?" Liu Chang said with a smile.
Liu Changzai was observing the two juniors just now, and Liu Ming was confused for a few seconds at first, and he immediately came to his senses. And several of his cousins, that is, the other juniors including Liu Sheng of the Liu family, were a little less concentrated, and they were confused for about a minute, and they were blushing at the moment, lowering their heads, and not daring to look at the stage. The cold young man called Leng Sin was directly ignored by Liu Changzai. As for the three boys of the Mao family, like this old guy himself, they were not affected at all.
Although a few boys of the Liu family were confused for a while, they were able to wake up on their own and behaved very well. Several elders of the Maoliu family were happy in their hearts.
Although he was happy in his heart, Mao Hao's father, Mao Shibo, couldn't help but pat Mao Hao's head and said angrily: "Okay, you stinky boy, since you haven't been confused, don't look at it with those squinting eyes, Lao Tzu's face has been lost by you." And the two of you too. As he spoke, he pointed to Mao Zhe and Mao Rui.
Mao Zhe's eyes continued to stare at Hongling on the stage, and said, "Fourth uncle, you don't understand, I'm exercising my mind." Also, I'm not looking at this beautiful thing with an appreciative eye, after all, everyone has a love for beauty. Mao Rui, Mao Hao, am I right?"
Mao Rui didn't answer, because there were two pairs of eyes staring at him tightly at the moment, one was his fiancΓ©e Liu Yiyi, and the other was his father-in-law, Liu Zongsheng. Silently took out a cigarette and smoked it, and in the haze of smoke, he continued to look at the bright red enchantment.
"Yes, yes, yes. Mao Hao nodded and said, "Dad, haven't you heard that marriage is a man's grave? Like Brother Rui, a person who has a marriage contract has already laid down in the coffin, and he almost nailed the lid of the coffin and buried it in the soil." So I'm going to take advantage of the time I'm still alive to take a good look at the world and do it without regrets. β
"Smack"
A teacup was grabbed by Mao Rui, and it was still on Mao Hao's face who had just finished speaking, the teacup was broken, and the tea made Mao Hao's fat face. At the same time, Mao Rui, who threw the teacup, made a threat: "You just entered the coffin and died, can you speak?"
