Chapter 18: Iron Gossip

"This is very strange," Chen Chuan frowned, "I have never seen a ghost who has lost his memory, and this phenomenon of yours is not like an ordinary ghost, but like a person's amnesia after a major blow." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"So, I'm also very strange, two years ago I seemed to suddenly appear near Yunchang Town," Tang Yun said, "I don't know anything, except for this clothes, all I have left is this treasure in my pocket that I don't know what it is." At first, I was ignorant, I wanted to ask passers-by where this place was, and I wanted to buy something to eat. However, no one seemed to be able to see me, and I didn't have money to buy anything, so I was so scared. One morning, I stole a drawer of steamed buns from someone who was buying breakfast from a stall outside, but I could only take it, but I couldn't eat it, and as soon as I ate it, it disappeared. ”

"It took me a long time to realize that I might be dead, just a ghost floating here." Tang Yun calmly said about his past two years, "Until later, a demon appeared, he took a fancy to the treasure in my hand and wanted to rob it." Thanks to Brother Li Shen, who passed by and rescued me, I was not beaten by evil ghosts.

In the past two years, I have traveled a lot to try to regain my memories, but unfortunately I have not succeeded, and it seems that I may have to go further afield. I came out to the auction with you this time to see if I could help me regain my memories! ”

"That'...... Was it helpful? Yuan Fan asked casually, after all, people have been looking for two years and have no clues, so they can't follow an auction to get a harvest, right? And the auction hasn't started yet.

"Also...... It really seems to have been. Tang Yun nodded. Around here, I felt a familiar atmosphere, very familiar. But I just looked around this hotel and still haven't remembered anything. ”

Yuan Fan and Chen Chuan glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain. Although the two of them wanted to help Tang Yun very much, even Chen Chuan had no clue about this kind of thing, and Yuan Fan had no choice.

"Really? Then we can take a good turn in the next two days, maybe it will help you! Yuan Fan said.

Tang Yun also smiled and began to look out the window in a daze again, Yuan Fan and Chen Chuan chatted casually until nine o'clock, the two got up and prepared to go to the auction venue, Tang Yun also stopped in a daze and followed. What made Yuan Fan strange was that the girl who was very dull just now began to be lively again on the way from the suite to the venue, and even teased the waiter of the hotel, which was really a girl with a strange personality.

Chen Chuan got two gray-black cards from the organizer, with a dragon head painted on the front, written with strange four words such as "Gubao with the wind", and the back of Yuan Fan's two words "Yuan Fan", which seems to be everyone's exclusive card.

"You tear off the protective film on the back of the card and press your thumb up." Chen Chuan said to Yuan Fan, and he also pressed it for two seconds.

"What is this for? Fingerprinting? Yuan Fan asked as he did it.

"Yes, a card is not enough insurance, so this card will also record the fingerprint of the first contact, which is considered a small protection measure! A little bit safer, and for an auction of this level, such a small security measure is sufficient. Chen Chuan replied.

The two of them walked to the first floor of the basement, and Chen Chuan took Yuan Fan to a door. There were two people in staff costumes waiting in front of the door.

"VIP, please swipe your card!" One of the staff members looked at the two and smiled.

The two swiped their cards to enter, and the card was swallowed by the machine, which looked really disposable. At the same time, a black costume was sent out from the back of the machine, which was wide and wide on the body, like a cloak, just to cover his body.

The auction hall is not big or small, about 400 square meters, and in front of it is a slightly higher display table, where the lights are gathered, and the rest of the room is much darker. There were many small cubicles separated by low walls in the room, and Chen Chuan and Yuan Fan randomly chose a small cubicle and sat down, just so that they could expose their upper bodies and see the display table in front of them.

Yuan Fan and the two sat down for a while, only to hear a "poof", and Tang Yun appeared in the seat next to Yuan Fan.

"You're here? Where did you just go? Yuan Fan asked in a low voice.

"I looked around," although others would not hear his voice, Tang Yun still lowered his voice and said, "In this room, there is a familiar atmosphere, maybe there is a lot related to me today!" ”

As he spoke, a number of people wearing black cloaks came in the hall one after another, and it seemed that they were all buyers participating in the auction.

"Huh? This person? Chen Chuan suddenly looked in one direction and said.

Yuan Fan looked at the direction pointed by Chen Chuan, and didn't have to work too hard, because the person Chen Chuan found was not wearing the black clothes issued by the organizer, but was dressed in a short dress, it was the Lin Yi who had always had a lot of fate with him recently!

"It's him! I ran into him again! It's too fateful, isn't it? Yuan Fan shouted in a low voice.

"Ahh Tang Yun suddenly snorted softly and flashed behind Yuan Fan.

"What's wrong, Tang Yun?" Yuan Fan said curiously.

"This man...... The breath on this man's body...... It's awesome! Tang Yun said hesitantly.

"Sharp? There's nothing special about it! Chen Chuan said suspiciously.

Lin Yi didn't pay attention to this, he seemed to be looking for something, but he didn't seem to have found it, so he found a place to sit down first.

The hall was soon full, and the lights in the hall were almost extinguished, and the lights on the display stood brighter, and a young man in a gray suit came up to the stage.

"Good evening, bosses!" The young man said with a smile, "I believe that all the guests sitting here are old guests, and they are all familiar with the process here, today is the second auction of this auction, I won't say much nonsense, but I still have to introduce myself, after all, the key people still have to be introduced!" ”

The young man's little humor made the black cloak on the scene come with a gentle laugh, and the atmosphere of the scene was a little lively.

"Hello everyone! My name is Qiu Bo! It is the host of this auction. The young man said generously, "There are a total of 7 lots in this evening, and I believe you already know it through the brochure distributed at the conference." Without further ado, on the first lot! ”

The first lot was a landscape painting by a modern painter, which was quickly auctioned off for five million, which really surprised Yuan Fan. Although his family conditions are very good, he is not the master who can buy a painting for five million, this time he really has a long experience.

Soon came to the fourth exhibit, which turned out to be the "Step Diagram" brought by Chen Chuan!

"Huh? Why is this the fourth? Chen Chuan frowned and said, "The fourth one should obviously be an iron gossip!" Odd! ”

At this time, Qiu Bo, the host on the stage, had already been introduced.

"Bosses, please see, this is an imitation of Yan Liben's "Bu Yuan Tu" in the Tang Dynasty, but although it is an imitation, it is a very delicate one of the imitations of the Song Dynasty. Although the name of the painter is blurred because of the water stains, it does not affect the integrity of the painting. This rare masterpiece has a starting price of 10 million! Each increase is not less than 100,000 yuan! ”

"Oh my God! It's so valuable! Yuan Fan shouted in a low voice.

"Of course, if it is a genuine product, the value is estimated to be hundreds of millions, and this is the sixth lot today, why did this old king change his mind?" Chen Chuan said to himself puzzled.

The bosses present were all knowledgeable, and the imitation of "Bu Yuan Tu" was quickly sold at a price of nearly 50 million, which made Yuan Fan so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"With this money, it should be more than enough to buy that ancient house, and there is still one iron gossip left, I don't know if there is anyone who knows the goods." Chen Chuan said with a smile, after all, if he wants to buy an ancient house, he must need a lot of money, if these people who came today don't like this imitation of "Bu Yuan Tu", or the price is very low, they have to think of other ways.

The 50 million organizers have to take 10%, and the rest will be taken by Chen Chuan. Soon the fifth lot was also auctioned.

"Today's bosses are very enthusiastic, this one has not even been auctioned so far, and the next lot is the sixth lot," Qiu Bo waved his left hand, and several people carried a small table to the display table, "The sixth exhibit is more mysterious, it is an iron gossip!" Why is it mysterious? Because the boss who brought this lot said that this was the iron gossip used by the alchemists of the Song Dynasty! However, our appraisal master, Mr. Wang Fu, after his careful appraisal, found that the history of this iron gossip may be even older, and it should be traced back to the Tang Dynasty! The only thing that can't be identified is...... What exactly is its function? ”

With Qiu Bo's introduction, the staff uncovered the red cloth on the table, on which was a quaint iron gossip.

Before Qiu Bo could introduce the starting price of the iron gossip, a person in front of Yuan Fan on the left stood up "whew", leaning forward as if he was exerting force on the iron gossip, which attracted the attention of the audience.

"Well, this boss! Is there anything you can do? Qiu Bo was also stunned.

"Oh, no, I've been sitting for a long time, and my legs are just a little numb." Surprisingly, the voice under the black cloak looked very young, only in his twenties at most. He explained, and sat down slowly.

"Oops! It seems that this person knows something about iron gossip, and he is estimated to make a move! Yuan Fan whispered to Chen Legend.

"It's very likely, he should know something like this, and when the auction is over, I'll ask about the origin of this iron gossip, hehe, I believe the old king is also very interested in this."

"Okay, although the function of this iron gossip is unknown, it has a lot of historical value, and the starting price is one million! Each increase is not less than 50,000! ”

After Qiu Bo finished his presiding speech, the field fell into a short calm, after all, he didn't know what this iron gossip was, just because he might have bought it from the Tang Dynasty, it was still a little hesitant.

"A million!" Not to Yuan Fan's surprise, that person was the first to break the silence just now.

"Okay! This boss bids a million! It seems that this boss is very knowledgeable! I wonder if the other bosses have any thoughts on this iron gossip? With a starting price of 1 million, it must be a great value for money! Qiu Bo tried his best to pull the atmosphere on the stage.

"Xiao Qiu, what do you mean by that? Do you say we don't know the goods? A voice rang out in the corner, "I didn't want to participate in it yet, hum, tell you that I really eat your radical method!" Million! ”

"What do you mean? I advise you not to bid because of a momentary mood, and don't increase the price indiscriminately if you don't understand! "The first man in black was clearly a bit emotional.

"Hey! Where did the little hairy child come from, a moment of righteousness? Even if I'm in a moment's whim, it's not something you can compare! If you have the ability, you can increase the price! The second man sneered.

"Two hundred...... 300,000! The first man paused and said.

"Three million!" The second man continued to speak without hesitation.

The first man turned sharply, facing the corner where the second man was.

"Sir, iron gossip shouldn't be of much use to others, but it's very different to me, you...... Can you give me a moment? ”

"Hehe, you should blame Mr. Host," the second person paused and said, "He actually said that I don't know the goods, and I'm the most irritated, and I must get what I want, so I'm sorry!" Three million no one wants, and the iron gossip will be mine! ”

Yuan Fan thought to himself, what kind of person is this, he doesn't understand the beauty of adults at all, people want iron gossip to be useful, this person is really unreasonable, and "I must get what I want", you said that if he and the richest man in the world rush to buy something, he will definitely not be able to grab it, this is too pretending.

After the second person finished speaking, the audience fell silent, and no one continued to bid.

"Humph! There shouldn't be anyone who will hurt my face, Xiao Qiu, just drop the gavel! The second man said coldly.

Qiu Bo's expression on the stage was obviously very embarrassed, but as an auction host, professional ethics must still be had.

"This boss is bidding three million! Is there any markup? This time, he didn't dare to say anything casually, now the atmosphere is already very hot, if he says the wrong thing and fights, then he will be guilty.

"Three million at a time! Three million twice! Three million three times! Deal! Qiu Bo did not sell the guanzi like the previous lots, giving the boss who wanted to increase the price a certain amount of room to think, but quickly made a final decision.

"Hehe, it's okay, you don't have to spend money, the things are mine, it should be like this from the beginning, and what kind of auction do you participate in!" The iron gossip auction was successful, but the first person suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"What? What are you doing? When the second person heard this, the situation was not right, "Boy, don't use your brains, this is the auction of Tianhe Ancient Treasures, not a place for you to go wild!" ”

At the same time, several people around the second person quickly approached him, and it seemed that the bodyguards of the big bosses would not leave when they went out.

"This boss, please pay attention to the order of the venue and sit down, okay?" Qiu Bo also hurriedly said, and at the same time gestured to the back to inform the security department to pay attention to vigilance.

"It's really infuriating, I told you not to rob me, what's the use of you taking pictures?" The first person's head shook from side to side, as if he was complaining to the second person, and it seemed to be talking to himself, and the atmosphere was very strange for a while.

"That's not right! This person's momentum is not right! Chen Chuan leaned forward and said.

Suddenly, a dark red circle radiated outwards centered on the first person. When it spread to Yuan Fan, Yuan Fan instantly felt that his brain was blank, and Tang Yun even dodged and hid behind Yuan Fan.

"Sure enough, it's you!" At this time, Lin Yi, the only one in the audience who was not wearing a black cloak, suddenly roared and jumped towards the first man in black.

The man in black turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Lin Yi skipping a few people jumping over, and when he slapped his head down, he hurriedly raised his hand to greet him.

"Bang!"

I only heard a loud bang, and with these two people as the center, it suddenly exploded! Chen Chuan had been on guard for a long time, and instantly took out a talisman and threw it out, forming a protective shield in front of him and Yuan Fan. Even so, Yuan Fan still felt a strong gust of air rushing over, almost turning his head, and the other people in the venue were even more unbearable, many people flew out directly and hit the wall before stopping.

The scene was chaotic, many wooden chairs burned directly, thick smoke billowed out, debris flew, and some of the injured people on the ground were groaning and some were wailing.

"Yuan Fan, are you okay?" Tang Yun was behind Yuan Fan, protected by two layers, and there was almost no damage, she hurriedly squatted down to check the injuries of Yuan Fan who was lying on the ground.

"Oh, I ...... I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy! Yuan Fan's brain was buzzing, in fact, the moment he exploded just now, his mind was blank, he didn't think about anything, and now he fell to the ground for a while, he was afraid for a while, he also saw the talisman that Chen Chuan threw out, if it wasn't for Chen Chuan's protection, how could he have to lack arms and legs today, right? Why is this world so dangerous?

"Huh? Where did Iron Gossip go? Chen Chuan looked at the display table and found that Tie Bagua was no longer on the display table, he turned around and looked again, and the two people in the center of the explosion had also disappeared. Chen Chuan didn't believe that the two people who had just exploded would be blown to pieces by the explosion, he felt carefully, through the chaos of the house, as if the sound of a fight could be faintly heard outside the door, and turned around and instructed Yuan Fan, Chen Chuan got up and chased out.

"Chen Chuan, you take a rest here, I'll follow Master Chen and see if I can help!" Tang Yun said a word, and also got up and followed.

Yuan Fan shook his head to sober himself up, he looked at the injured "black-robed man" around him, and then looked at the position of the second black-robed man just now in the corner, that person seemed to be injured a lot because of the distance.

"Oh, what's the trouble, this forced pretend, how worthless!" Yuan Fan sighed secretly, "No, Master, they hurriedly went out, there must be something interesting, what am I doing here!" Right! Catch up and check it out! ”

Yuan Fan was thinking about it, when there was another loud noise in the distance, he raised his eyebrows and quickly looked for the sound.
