Chapter 10 The Auction House of the World
Before Xia Yang reached the room, he heard Xue'er's voice in the distance. I only heard Xue'er say: "Sister Qing'er, have you seen my brother Xia Yang? I searched the entire Xia family, but I didn't see him, and I even looked for the place where Brother Xia Yang practiced in the back mountain, but I still didn't find it?"
Qing'er replied: "Miss Xue'er, the whereabouts of the young master, the slave maid is not clear, I didn't see the young master when I came in the morning." However, since the young master has promised Miss Xue'er, I think the young master will look for you soon, and the young master may have other things to delay. Qing'er comforted Xue'er, who was a little anxious.
"Where did Brother Xia Yang go? Look at how I will clean him up when I find him, hum" Xue'er seemed to be saying to Qing'er, as if she was saying to herself, Qing'er smiled helplessly, and just wanted to speak, she looked up and saw Xia Yang coming from a distance. I only heard Xia Yang's voice coming: "Is there anything that Sister Xue'er is looking for me? I just heard someone say that she wants to clean me up." After Xia Yang finished speaking, he had already come to the two of them.
Qing'er bent down and saluted Xia Yang and said, "The young master is back, I'll go and prepare food." He turned around and said to Xia Yaoxue with a smile: "Miss Xue'er hasn't eaten yet." Xia Yaoxue said: "Yes, Sister Qing'er, I'm just looking for Brother Xia Yang, Xue'er's stomach is still empty, it's better to be Sister Qing'er, I don't want some people to forget to promise others." Hmph!" Xue'er said to Qing'er in the first half of the sentence, and then began to attack Xia Yang again. Xia Yang looked helplessly at Xue'er, who was pouting, shook his head and said to Qing'er: "Qing'er, go and prepare, after eating, you will go to the Tianxia Auction House with us." ”
"Yes, young master. With that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Xia Yaoxue heard Xia Yang say that the auction house in the world knew that Xia Yang was teasing herself, and said coquettishly: "I'll go tell my uncle that Brother Xia Yang bullied me." ”
Xia Yang said with a smile: "Okay Xue'er, it's Brother Xia Yang who is not good, Brother Xia Yang apologizes to you, and when the auction house has something you like, Brother Xia Yang will buy it for you." ”
When Xia Yaoxue heard Xia Yang's words, she said happily: "Really, Xue'er didn't force Brother Xia Yang, it was Brother Xia Yang's willingness." ”
Xia Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it was Brother Xia Yang's volunteer, you little girl." After speaking, Xia Yang pinched Xiaoyaoxue's nose. Then he said, "Don't go outside, let's go inside." After speaking, he pushed the door in, and Xia Yaoxue followed behind.
It didn't take long for Qing'er to bring a steaming breakfast, the two of them Xia Yang was indeed a little hungry after a night of cultivation, Xue'er also got up early in the morning to look for Xia Yang, the two didn't talk much, and quickly ate it.
Qing'er on the side looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Young master, Miss Xue'er eat slowly, if it's not enough, I will get it in the kitchen." Xia Yang shook his head and said, "No need." ”
Soon the two finished eating, Xue'er touched her stomach and said, "It's so full, Sister Qing'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better, if someone marries you in the future, you can eat your dishes every day, then you will be happy." ”
Qing'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she said coquettishly: "Miss Xue'er made fun of me, as long as I can serve the young master by my side, Qing'er will be satisfied." After speaking, he glanced at Xia Yang secretly, then quickly lowered his head, picked up the plates on the table and walked out.
Xue'er looked at Xia Yang slyly, her eyes were full of ill intentions, and she didn't say a word, and Xia Yang was helpless for a while.
Xia Yang had no choice but to change the topic and said, "After a while, we will set off for the Tianxia Auction House." It didn't take long for Qing'er to return to Xia Yang's room, and after a short rest, the three of them got up and walked outside, Xia Yang They didn't bring guards, they walked on the street and watched pedestrians hurrying by, and the vendors were shouting and selling endlessly, a prosperous scene. Qing'er is better, Xue'er is like a cheerful butterfly, one moment to the stall on the left, and the other time she is attracted by the items in front of her, and the whole person seems to be extremely busy.
For the three of them, ordinary things can't arouse the interest of the three of them at all, and as for Xue'er running around patronizing the stalls on both sides of the road, it is entirely out of curiosity. On the way to the auction house, Xia Yang kept hearing some people dressed as martial artists talking about the auction house.
There were three people not far in front of Xia Yang, one of them was in the middle stage of Qi Condensation, and the other two were in the early stage of Qi Condensation. As he was talking about the content of the auction, he only heard one of them say: "Wang Laosan, I heard that this auction not only has all kinds of elixirs, but also the auction of the best treasures, and the weapons you and I use now are all low-grade treasures, if we can have a superb treasure, the last time I met the "Iron Fist" Wang Quan in the Red Leaf Forest, I wouldn't be so embarrassed, but I hated that scavenging ginseng and watched it being picked away." ”
The man known as Wang Laosan nodded and said, "No matter what this time, we will get the treasure weapon at first sight." After speaking, he said to another person: "Big brother, it is becoming more and more difficult to find valuable things on the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest now, some powerful exploration teams have now gone to the depths, if we can't improve our strength The Red Leaf Forest will not have a foothold for us, on the contrary, if we can get a high-grade treasure weapon at the auction venue, then our strength will rise to a higher level as a whole, and it will also have a heavy guarantee in future expeditions." ”
Li Yuan, who spoke just now, looked at Wang Laosan and said playfully: "I can't see it, you can see it thoroughly, but we are not the only ones who have this kind of thought, there are not many other adventure teams encountered along the way, and the strength of a few is faintly higher than ours, and it is not simple to get a suitable treasure weapon under such fierce competition." ”
It was their eldest brother who had not spoken, named Huang Chengshan, who gave him the nickname "Liudao". A rare opponent in the same level of sword skills is smooth, only to hear this person's loud voice, and said to the two: "Okay, let's go, no matter how big the price is, we will fight for it." ”
Xia Yang had been listening carefully to the conversation between the three of them, and it was not until the three of them walked forward quickly that they retracted their spiritual power, and Xia Yang got a lot of useful information from it, and had a certain understanding of the situation in the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest. Looking at the time, Xia Yang said to the two people who were selecting items at the stall: "Let's go, if you don't leave, the auction will start." ”
"Got it, let's come, Sister Qing'er, let's go. After saying that, Xue'er pulled Qing'er and walked in the direction of the auction house, Xia Yang pouted helplessly, shook his head and quickly caught up with the two.
It didn't take long for a not tall building to appear in front of the three of them, and the crowd in front of the door was the place where the branch of the Tianxia Auction House was stationed in Red Leaf City, Xia Yang stopped in front of the auction house and thought of what his father had said to himself, Tianxia Auction is the largest auction house in the entire Great Qin Empire, and its business is all over most of the East Pole Region, even if the royal family has to give the Tianxia Auction House a few thin faces. The strength of the master of the Red Leaf City Branch is unfathomable, at least it is also a mid-Guyuan cultivation.
There are two rows of guards standing at the entrance of the auction house, and their cultivation is generally at the eighth order of the body refining period, and I can see that the guards who think that the leader are at the peak of the early stage of the Qi Condensation Period, which shows that the strength of the auction house in the world should not be underestimated, and even the guards at the door must be above the eighth order of the body refining period. And all of them were expressionless, and there was a murderous aura exuding from their bodies, and it could be seen that these people had experienced a lot of killing.
Xia Yang and the three of them did not stay too much, and soon entered the auction house, the first floor of the auction house is used to rent to those adventurous teams, one can attract popularity to collect intelligence, and the second is to facilitate the transaction between martial artists, after all, the weapons or secrets obtained by martial artists are not necessarily suitable for themselves, through the auction house, you can exchange for what you need, or buy a good price, and get a good amount of gold coins. The auction house only charges five percent of the transaction as a commission. Many adventurous teams choose to complete transactions here, because no one will offend the powerful world auction house because of foreign objects.
The stalls in the hall on the first floor are full of people, the owners of the stalls do not want to let go of this opportunity, want to exchange the items that cannot be used for gold coins or suitable elixir weapons, people come and go constantly and some people ask about the right treasure for themselves, some stalls look at the same treasure more than one person, only to see that although they are fighting red-faced, but no one has a big fight for this, from this point can also see that it is too difficult to get under the mysterious power of the auction house.
Today's auction was held on the second floor, and the three of them came to the second floor, only to see that hundreds of seats in the venue of about 1,000 square meters were almost full, Xue'er looked at the overcrowded venue, wrinkled her nose, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xia Yang, how can there be so many people, how can we get in." Before Xia Yang could speak, he saw Xia Wu, the head of the guards at home, come to the three of them and said, "Young Master Yang, Miss Xue'er, the eldest young master, they are all upstairs in the No. 3 VIP room, the eldest young master asked his subordinates to come over and ask the young master if you are in the past." ”
Xia Yang looked at the venue and said to Xue'er and the two, "Let's go upstairs, you have seen it here." ”
"Okay, Sister Qing'er, let's go up," Xue'er said reluctantly, and then took Qing'er's hand and said to the head of the guards, "Lead the way ahead." "Yes, miss. After saying that, Xia Wu turned around and walked towards the stairs next to him, Xia Yang and the three followed, and the four of them came to the second floor and walked to the left, and came to the entrance of the room with row three in front of the door, and the head of the guard said loudly: "Young Master, Young Master Xia Yang, Miss Xue'er has arrived." ”
I only heard Xiahou Ming's loud voice from inside, "Come in." After hearing the answer, the head of the guard pushed open the door and said to the three people behind him, "Young master, young lady, please come in." Xia Yang nodded and walked towards the room.
Entering the room, Xia Yang found that in addition to Xiahou Ming, there was also the second uncle Xiahou Yi, and to Xia Yang's surprise, the eldest brother Xia Ye was also there, when Xia Yang looked at Xia Ye, Xia Ye smiled back, nodded and signaled Xia Yang to come forward to everyone, and saluted: "Yang'er has seen his father and second uncle." Xiahou Ming said with a smile: "You have come just in time, the auction is about to start." ”
Xiahou Ming coughed lightly, and said: "Not only did the city lord send a master over in this auction, but also the Xu and Wang families were also at the venue, needless to say, the people from the City Lord's Mansion were in the No. 1 VIP room, and the Xu family was in the No. 4 Wang family was in the No. 5 family. Today's auction should not go very well, not to mention anything else, as far as the quenching grass is concerned, the Xu and Wang families are the things that must be contested. Who is the VIP room of Xia Wu No. 2, is there any clue?"
"Back to the eldest young master, the identity of the other party has not been found yet, this person's identity is mysterious, and there are still no clues from many inquiries among subordinates, please punish the eldest young master. After speaking, Xia Wu knelt on one knee, and his shame was overflowing.
"Continue to inquire, I hope there is no conflict between the other party and my Xia family, get up. "Yes, thank you, young master. Xia Wu got up and stepped back, Xia Houming picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, he didn't know what he was thinking about, only the faint sound of breathing remained in the room.
The same dialogue was also played out in VIP rooms No. 4 and No. 5, but the characters were different. In the No. 4 VIP room, Xu Yuansheng thought about what his father had explained, the quenching grass is a must-have thing for my Xu family, and the entire Red Leaf City City Lord does not need to think about it, and the Xia and Wang families can be opponents, especially the Xia family, no matter how much they pay, they must also get the quenching grass. Thinking of this, Xu Yuansheng clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he would get the quenching grass no matter what. Xu Yuansheng suddenly thought of the mysterious person in the No. 2 VIP room, so he asked, "Have you found the identity of the No. 2 VIP room?" "Young Master Hui, his subordinates are incompetent and failed to find out the identity of the other party, please punish the young master." ”
Xu Yuansheng snorted coldly, "Waste, what's the use of keeping you, continue to investigate." "It's the young master, and the subordinates will definitely go all out. Xu Yuansheng secretly thought in his heart, what is the origin of the other party, with the strength of the Xu family, there is no clue, presumably the Xia and Wang families have no clues, thinking of this, Xu Yuansheng was secretly shocked, a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart, waved away the uneasiness in his heart, Xu Yuansheng looked at the time, and after a stick of incense or so, the auction would start, Xu Yuansheng closed his eyes and waited for the auction to start.
There was also a scene in VIP Room No. 5, but with a little more content: "Shadow, have you found out the identity of the mysterious person?" asked Wang Tai, the eldest son of Wang Luo, the head of the Wang family, towards the dark corner of the room. A cold and hard voice came from the darkness: "Master, his identity has not been determined, but it has been found that this person is from the depths of the Red Leaf Forest, not a local person in my Red Leaf City, his strength is unfathomable, as far as his subordinates know, the quenching grass is provided by this person to the auction house of the world." "Okay, this matter is doing well, is there any other news, have the Xia family and the Xu family made any big moves recently?" "Back to the master, the Xia and Xu families are under surveillance, and nothing has changed." ”
Wang Tai nodded and said, "Stand down." I saw a faint fluctuation in the dark, and then the whole room was silent, Wang Tai's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he didn't know how much conspiracy was brewing in his heart.
