Text Chapter 294 Seagod Statue
The owner of Jubaolou was completely shocked by Chu Jing's words, and asked in disbelief: "You hired these people and spent money to buy other shops just to get tickets for the auction from me?"
Chu Jing's face remained unchanged, and he nodded indifferently, "Of course, if you don't use a little means, how can you see you, and how can you be qualified to get the opportunity to enter the auction from you?"
This rather sarcastic remark made the owner of the treasure building stunned again, the number of places in his auction had already been booked out a lot, except for the people with heads and faces in the small city, all the rich people who came into the auction would take the initiative to send a token to enter the auction.
Even if the auction is the best in the whole year, in fact, how many people have a net worth of 2,000 shells and are willing to pay a lot of money to buy some luxury jewelry, so the auction is generally not full in the end.
For example, most of the guests on the first floor of the Treasure Building did not have 2,000 shell coins, so they would wait there to see if they could ask for a ticket from the owner of the Treasure Building, after all, those who could enter the auction were big people with heads and faces, and they could sit with them and say that they would have face.
The owner of the treasure building knew that he had made a big mistake, and there were many people who came in and out of the town every day, including the rich who wanted to enter the auction to join in the fun, but did not have the means to get tickets.
As a result, they were offended without knowing it, and this time the revenge was small, and the person who couldn't be offended next time couldn't say that the treasure building could not be opened again with a casual word.
Thinking of this, the owner of Jubaolou hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, reached out and took out a small black gold sign from his arms, and said with a wry smile: "It's that I didn't think it through, even if I compensate you for this brand." ”
Chu Jing casually turned out the metal card, and in addition to the pattern, there was also a heavenly character on it.
"What is this? I have three more companions, and this one is not enough. ”
The owner of Jubaolou hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, enough, these cards of our store's Tianzi VIPs, not only enjoy a 20% discount for consumption in our store, but also 6% off for dinner, not to mention bringing three people, bringing five people can go in, and VIP boxes are available." ”
He is not stupid, Chu Jing has hired a lot of people, and other shops are not just a little money that can let them stand next to the play and watch the show, since he is a rich man, it is definitely not a loss to give him the highest level VIP card.
"Auctioned items can also be discounted?"
"Of course, you can rest assured that after three days, there will be a VIP seat waiting for you. ”
There is a commission for the auction items, and the commission is not low, although the 20% discount is less, but it is still within the acceptable range.
Chu Jing nodded, he was quite satisfied with this metal card, considering that he and the others would leave this small city soon, so he wouldn't ask the other three for this thing to play with.
"Okay, I'll go, by the way, I still have something here that I want to sell, you can help me auction it out." ”
The owner of the treasure building looked at Chu Jing curiously, this is not only here to join in the fun and find faults, but he also wants to auction things, but the more things in the auction are naturally the rarer the better, and he immediately said: "This is naturally possible, but it needs to be identified, and things less than three hundred shells will not appear in the auction here." ”
300 shells can buy an ordinary fishing boat, which is enough to show the preciousness of this auction.
"Hmm. Chu Jing casually agreed, and threw the vortex beads to the owner of the treasure building.
A small thing similar to a big point pearl, although the owner of the treasure building did not know its specific value, he also hurriedly caught it carefully, after all, this is something to be auctioned, and it may exceed three hundred shells.
"It's ......"
It's not that the boss doesn't know the goods, it's just that it doesn't exist on land, but he has never seen such a magical and beautiful thing.
The beads are round and moist, and the vortex seems to attract the eyes into it, which is dazzling and really charming.
"What is this, and why have I never seen it?"
Chu Jing replied: "This is a rare vortex bead on the bottom of the sea that I got by chance, I dare not say that I am the only one who owns this thing, I am sure that no more than ten people have seen this vortex bead." ”
"So rare?" The owner of the treasure building carefully held the vortex beads, and couldn't believe that this little thing was very likely to be a priceless treasure.
"It's that rare. "In addition to myself, there should not be many people who enter the bottom of the sea, not to mention the vortex beads that are extremely rare at the bottom of the sea, and the possibility of appearing in the human world is almost zero.
Chu Jing was too lazy to continue talking to this middle-aged man, anyway, now that he got the Tianzi VIP card and sold the vortex beads on consignment, it was time to go back, but Xu Qian was still waiting in the dirty alley.
"Help me auction it out and go. ”
Before the owner of the treasure building could recover from the shock of the vortex beads, he found that Chu Jing had disappeared, and this strength was ...... He was even more afraid of offending such a character.
"The auction fee will be charged 20%, no, is it too much, just 10%, no matter how low it is, it will be a loss......"
The owner of the treasure building was thinking about how much profit he wanted to get from the vortex beads, and at the same time thinking about how to promote this item, but the vortex beads were very beautiful, more beautiful than diamonds, emeralds, and the like, and rare, but it was a little difficult to convince others that it was unique in the world.
Of course, I have to go back to punish the bookkeeper, and for some reason offended such a young man with rich and high martial arts, it must be that his subordinates have no eyes, and they must go back and teach a good lesson.
The hired gangster Chu Jing naturally still had to take care of it, and gave a person who was shouting hard ten shell coins, and asked him to bring everyone back to the previous alley, and then he went to find Xu Qian first.
Xu Qian was standing at the mouth of the alley bored, the money bag was placed on the ground, and there were a lot of small shell coins spilled on the ground, and there were greedy people next to them with red eyes and saliva, but they were not stupid, they didn't dare to step forward when they knew that Xu Qian kicked the strong man, and they didn't dare to see others if they didn't know.
"Well, you're finally back, and you've let me stay here for so long, and you're going to see the fun, are things done? Did they cry and apologize to you?"
As soon as Xu Qian saw Chu Jing, she opened the conversation box and kept asking.
Chu Jing showed the metal card and said: "It's impossible to cry and beg for mercy, but he gave me this thing, the Tianzi VIP card, enjoy a 20% discount, VIP private room, it's okay, no matter how harsh it is, it's not good." ”
Xu Qian took the metal card, "Hmph, this thing is really cheap for them." ”
"Tsk, don't forget, we still need them to help auction things, it's no good to offend death. ”
Considering that Lian might have to buy some alchemy materials at the auction, Xu Qian endured it.
"By the way, did you let those people disperse?"
"No, they'll come back to get the money later. ”
"It's a shame that the money can buy a lot of things, so it's a shame to give them like this. "Xu Qian's concept of money is average, when she didn't have money in the past, she risked her life to do tasks to earn commissions, but now that she has Chu Jing's wealth, she doesn't care much about money.
Soon, those who shouted for Chu Jing all ran back, and they were relieved to see that Chu Jing and Xu Qian and the shell coins all over the ground were still there, but they were afraid that Chu Jing would run away, so they all ran back as fast as they could.
Chu Jing glanced at it, the number of people was much more than before, and many of them were pulled by relatives and friends on the street and joined temporarily, this number of people was very normal.
"Quiet. ”
Chu Jing roared, suppressed the chaotic and noisy voice, and continued to shout: "Now that your tasks are completed, start settling the bill, everyone present has two shell coins per person, and those who come late will be automatically given up." ”
Who knew that Chu Jing had just finished speaking, and immediately someone shouted loudly: "Why are there two, I spit on Jubaolou, I should get five." ”
"Yes, I peed on the Treasure Tower, and I should have five too. ”
For a while, the others also began to make noise.
Chu Jing knew that these people were just some ruffians, and the treasure tower still had a very high status in this small city, even if these poor people didn't dare to offend, it was still possible to spit quietly, and the others were just talking nonsense.
"Silence!" Chu Jing's lion's roar with internal force is mastery, the lion's roar is just the internal force infused into the sound, hurting people with sound waves, it is not too easy for Chu Jing.
Sure enough, everyone who had no internal strength was dizzy by Chu Jing's throat, and they squatted down and hugged their heads and screamed.
"Two for each person, Hugh is going to mess around. ”
Chu Jing stomped his foot hard, and the small shell coins flew up one after another, "Go." ”
At the sound of the order, the small shell coin automatically flew down in front of everyone, two for each person, and no one had one more.
In the end, Chu Jing sprinkled most of the shell coins on the ground, and it didn't cost too much to hire these people, and Chu Jing used gold bricks and silver ingots to bribe merchants.
"Well, there's so much more, even if we don't use that mermaid's vortex bead in the auction, it's enough for us. ”
Xu Qian is a little uneasy about the mermaid princess Sophia, she doesn't like Sophia's willfulness, she has to soak her body in water when she walks a little, since she is a fish, then go to the sea, why do you have to come up on land.
Chu Jing and Xu Qian returned to the inn with a half-bag of small shell coins.
"Yo, didn't I sell the beads so quickly, didn't I say put them up at auction? I want to see how much my beads can sell for humans. ”
After Sophia had taken a bath, she went to the lobby of the inn to see the crowded streets and listen to the chatter of the guests.
Her appearance would indeed provoke some wild bees and butterflies for her, but her great swordsman strength was enough to handle all kinds of trouble.
Xu Qian said dissatisfiedly: "This is not your thing in exchange, this is what Chu Jing exchanged for gold." ”
"Oh?" Princess Mermaid looked at Chu Jing's cultivated warrior suit, and she really couldn't tell how many things he could hide on his body.
"Forget it, the auction has taken place, I don't want to sit with civilians. ”
"Rest assured, VIP seats. ”
Sophia asked, "What about the list of auctions?" ”
This time Xu Qian was stunned, Chu Jing didn't tell her this, she turned her head to look at Chu Jing, Chu Jing was also stunned, only to realize that she had forgotten about this matter, and the owner of Jubaolou did not bring a list of auctions with him.
"Well, the auction is kept secret before it starts, so there's no list. Chu Jing casually made up a reason.
"Oh, forget it, if you like it, you just buy it. ”
......
In the blink of an eye, the third day arrived.
Early in the morning, there was the sound of gongs and drums beating outside, and Chu Jing and the others were successfully quarreled.
"What is this doing?" Sophia curiously asked the innkeeper that even if the Spring Festival event was held, the inn could not be closed.
The innkeeper stood at the door of the inn, looking in the direction of the city gate, and turned his head to see that the person who spoke was Sophia, and he still had a good impression of such a beautiful beauty.
"This, this is the spring season, also known as the god of the sea, every day, there will be a big boat on the sea, carrying a huge statue of the god of the sea, the people in the city began to set off, go to the beach to carry the god of the sea to the city to worship, bless this year calm and calm, can get a bumper harvest. ”
"Poseidon?"
The Sea Clan also worships the gods, but they are the gods who created the mermaid clan, and as for the other sea tribes, in the legend, they were created by the mermaid clan, so the merfolk are their gods, no, the supreme king.
It was the first time Sophia had heard of the god of the sea.
The innkeeper is very taboo about the sea god, and on the day of the spring festival, he will never mention the sea god.
She turned her head to look at Lian, who was also watching from the side, Lian was an alchemist among humans, and Sophia had the most knowledgeable human she had ever seen.
"Do you know what the sea god is?"
Lian said lightly: "On some islands, there is indeed a tradition of worshipping the sea god, but the sea god is different in each place, some are humans, some are sea monsters, and some are ...... Sea Clan. ”
"Isn't it really a god? Worship these things, it won't be useful. Sophia looked at the innkeeper with pity, humans were so ignorant.
Lotus asked rhetorically, "Is it useful to worship the true God?"
Sophia was speechless when asked, even if it was a real god, it was already asleep, even dead, how could it bless the mermaids.
The people of the small town beat gongs and drums, and sixteen of them, carrying a huge sedan chair, went in droves to the port outside the city to meet their sea god.
Most of the city's inhabitants flocked to the back, wanting to make a good impression on the sea god and get a good fortune.
Although Sophia was curious, she didn't keep up, in her opinion, this kind of superstitious activity is just a waste of human and financial resources, it is worth the loss, it is better to change the situation and have fun, such as eating dumplings on the day of spring, or turkey feast and the like.
Lian and the others also didn't have much interest, even Xu Qian was disdainful of the sea god, they were warriors, in the legend, the strongest warrior could even defeat the angels, compared to the gods, it was only a little worse, that is, the gods disappeared before the rise of humans, otherwise it was still a big question whether they could survive under the hands of humans.
The victory of man over heaven in this world is not a legend, but something that has actually happened.
Even if a few people don't go to see the activities to welcome the sea god, the sea god still has to pass by the inn, and on a large sedan chair carried by sixteen people, there is a statue of a big snake.
Seeing this statue, Sophia and Chu Jing almost dropped their jaws.
The appearance of this big snake is very familiar, with a head like a big fish, hard scale armor, and spikes on its abdomen, isn't this the doomsday basilisk Leviathan, one of the seven sea monsters?
When did a sea monster with the name of Doom suddenly transform into the sea god on Baihe Island?
Sophia was the most angry, it was this Doomsday Basilisk Leviathan who killed the Shark Commander and destroyed her own city, Blue Emperor City, and her hatred for the Doomsday Basilisk was simply incompatible.
"I'm going to smash it!"
Sophia threw a cruel word and was about to rush out and smash the Leviathan statue that was worshipped as the god of the sea.
Chu Jing hurriedly stopped Sophia and persuaded in a low voice: "Stop, don't forget, this is the world of humans, and it's just a statue, not a real basilisk." ”
"No, even if it's just a statue, I'm going to kill it!" Sophia's eyes were red, and there were already crystal teardrops glinting in the corners of her eyes.
"Forget it, don't be impulsive. Chu Jing also knew Blue Emperor City's feelings for Sophia, and he really didn't know how to persuade him.
However, Sophia is the princess of the Sea Clan after all, and she was just impulsive just now, but after calming down, she turned into a cold appearance.
The plot here stunned the innkeeper for a moment, and finally whispered: "What a good girl, why did her brain break down." ”
"I'm fine. Sophia wiped her eyes and pursed her lips as she watched the statue of the Doomsday Basilisk Leviathan disappear into the distance.
Ren has some knowledge of the origin of the Doomsday Basilisk Leviathan becoming the god of the sea, explaining: "A long, long time ago, there was a great snake in the nearby seas that did evil, swallowing fishing boats, and sometimes even spewing flames towards the cities on the shore. ”
"At that time, the human powerhouse could not submit it, so someone thought of a way to build a temple for the big snake, and also carved the statue of the big snake and worshiped it on the shore, and then, the big snake really never appeared again, and the tradition of worshiping the big snake has been passed down to the present, and the previous sea monster has also become the god of the sea. ”
Chu Jing could understand why the Doomsday Basilisk Leviathan hadn't reappeared on the sea, because it had been sealed in the Dark Canyon and hadn't come out for three thousand years.
Regarding the fact that the doomsday basilisk will be transformed into the god of the sea, Chu Jing can understand that the strange power is chaotic, and what cannot be understood by human knowledge is blamed on the gods, which is really a very normal thing, and it is also the main reason why religion can rise.
Because of the mermaid princess Sophia's resistance to the "sea god", several people did not go to the town to welcome the spring, but stayed in the inn for a day, and then went to participate in the auction held in the treasure tower in the evening.
