Section 117 Auctions

The next morning, Zhang Peng called Li Chunsheng and Lao Huangpi and went to Huangniu Mountain.

On the way there, Zhang Peng suddenly remembered what Zhang Xiaoqiang said about "Tiandao grocery store". He had been bent on destroying the Skeleton Assassin, so he hadn't thought to find out. But now that the intention has changed, it is natural that you should go and see it first, and maybe you can get other chess pieces.

As for the danger, judging from Zhang Xiaoqiang's account, it seems that the old man of Heavenly Dao will not take action directly, even if he has a plan, he will persuade and persuade him.

After school at noon, Zhang Peng and others met Zhang Xiaoqiang in the middle school of the cotton factory. But the other party said that since the first time I saw the grocery store, I passed by there again, and the door disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaoqiang to take Zhang Peng and the others to the place where they saw the grocery store that day. In the dim light, the alley was filled with tattered wooden boxes. The location Zhang Xiaoqiang pointed to was empty.

"That's what I saw here that day, the door is so wide, here is the window, you can see inside, but it's ......dark," Zhang Xiaoqiang gestured, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Through the description of the former, everyone quickly imagined what a grocery store would look like. From this point, it can be judged that Zhang Xiaoqiang did not lie, and he had no motive to lie.

Zhang Peng sighed helplessly, it seems that this matter can only be put on hold for the time being. Speaking of which, there are quite a few things he has put on hold recently, the clues of the Yamano Codex have been interrupted, the auction of the half-red pill has not yet started, and the Tiandao grocery store has disappeared......

Before leaving, Zhang Peng gave Zhang Xiaoqiang two more red tickets, encouraged the other party to study hard, and then left with the other party in his grateful eyes.

At half past two in the afternoon, when the sun was at its fiercest, the three of them went up to Huangniu Mountain. They did not dare to climb too high for fear of encountering ghosts hitting the wall again. Halfway up the mountain, after feeling the air cool down significantly, Zhang Peng stopped, buried the skeleton chess pieces in the shallow mound, and then made some marks around it.

"Ouch, I didn't expect Brother Peng to also know the way of raising weapons." Old Huangpi said in a slight surprise.

"Of course, my brother knows a lot of things." Zhang Peng said without blushing and without a beating heart. As the so-called Du Niang understands, I understand everything, just say that I am well-read, and I know a little bit about the world, and it is not an exaggeration.

"That's that, that's." Old Huang Pi smiled and agreed.

"I think this thing is a bit evil, so it's better to lose it." Li Chunsheng said.

"The evil door is the evil door, but as long as you find the right method, it is not impossible to use it, how can a philosopher say it......" Zhang Peng thought about it, beat his palm and said, "Take it!" ”

Li Chunsheng immediately rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "If that philosopher hears it, I'm afraid that he will crawl out of the coffin and fight with you with a cane." ”

"What did you say?" Zhang Peng didn't hear clearly, turned his head and asked.

"No, I just mean, it makes sense." Li Chunsheng replied seriously.

Two days later, on the third day after Zhang Peng's return from Huangniushan, a small auction was held in a building on Nanzhou City's commercial street.

There were not many people present, only about a dozen people, and most of them were Dongying people with stereotypical clothes and serious expressions. Zhou Fuyuan and Huang Mao sat in the last row, their eyes wandering between the bidders.

In order to grasp first-hand information so that he can respond to various possibilities in a timely manner, Zhou Fuyuan participated in the auction as a bidder.

As soon as he entered the venue, he noticed a woman in the front row. It is as quiet as water, as cold as frost, and there is a breath around the body that no one can enter. Although she is very low-key, from Zhou Fuyuan to the present, she has never been seen to take off her sunglasses, and there are no superfluous movements, but she is still very conspicuous, like an ice flower blooming in the desert, incompatible with everything around her, and naturally attracts people's attention.

Her skin is white and crystal clear. But the strange thing is that there is no feeling of full moisture, green and white tenderness, on the contrary, it is a bit stiff and has a porcelain-like luster.

She sat there quietly, motionless, like a little man made of white porcelain, without even twisting her neck. Zhou Fuyuan subconsciously felt that she would be the ultimate buyer of the half-red pill. Such a person is either a patient with deep dementia or a person with a very high status. At least he hadn't seen a few in his life.

"Half of the South China Sea agarwood, the first bidding...... Second bid...... Third bid...... Deal! ”

After auctioning off a few things, the host took out today's finale, a Dongying short knife with exquisite workmanship and beautiful lines, a wooden sheath tied with plum blossom double knots, and a black silk wrapped around the handle.

"Dongying's ancient famous knife, half red pill, rib difference, starting price, five million, each bid price is not less than 200,000."

As soon as the host quoted the price, the following immediately became silent.

"No one is bidding?" The moderator asked, somewhat surprised. Aren't these Dongying people coming for this knife?

"Five million, the first ......" is still silent. The host quickly understood that this group of Dongying people already had a tacit understanding, as long as no one bids, the auction will be unauctioned, and then the price will be reduced.

Wait until the third and last unsuccessful auction to reduce the price, and then bid at a low price. As a result, the price of the lot will be pushed down to 50% of the starting price. After guessing this, the host reluctantly reported the second tone.

"Five million, second ......"

"Dongying treasures, ingenious and extraordinary, no one is interested?" Although he felt very unhappy, because the other party was a foreigner and a native of Dongying, he couldn't help but sympathize with the seller, but after delaying for a while, he still reported the third time according to the rules.

"Five million, the third ......"

Zhou Fuyuan's heart below is on fire, if the price is reduced, he and Zhang Peng will lose all their money. He clenched his fists, hesitated several times, and finally gritted his teeth before the host shouted the word "flow auction", risking being recognized, and raised the bidding sign in his hand.

Suddenly, more than a dozen eyes looked at him in unison, some cold, some stunned, and resentful......

"Five million, Mr. Twenty bids for the first time for five million!" The host shouted excitedly, how could he not be happy, who are also descendants of Yan and Huang.

"Famous knife and half red pill, five million, ...... for the first time"

"Famous knife and half red pill, five million, the second ......"

Before the third sound, the woman in the trench coat sitting in the front row slowly raised the bidding sign in her hand.

"Miss No. 1, bid 5.2 million ......"

Zhou Fuyuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint erupted in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Ten million!" In order to leave as soon as possible, he directly shouted the highest price in his heart.

At this moment, a gaze like a blade fell on him. Out of the corner of her eye, it was the woman in the trench coat who glanced back at him. It was like being touched by high-voltage electricity, the hair was raised, and the heart contracted violently.

"Ten million, for the first time...... Ten million, the second ......"

When the host called out the second sound of 10 million, Zhou Fuyuan's heart jumped to his throat. In case the other party dies and the net is broken, he will have to go bankrupt and buy it back himself. Not to mention anything else, the auction fees, taxes and the money distributed to the agency company alone were enough for him to go back to his hometown bare-bottomed.

At the last moment, the woman in the windbreaker raised the sign in her hand and scolded in a low voice, although "Baga ......" is a curse, but the voice is like a sparrow, which is not only pleasant to the ear, but also can be heard clearly by the people around her.

Zhou Fuyuan saw that his goal had been achieved, and immediately went out with Huang Mao.

As soon as he left the venue, Zhou Fuyuan went straight to the other end of the city with yellow hair. On the way, he used his spare phone to dial Zhang Peng's number.

"The auction has been completed, 10.2 million, but my six sons and I may have been exposed, and we have to go out and hide for a while, and then settle it when we come back." Zhou Fuyuan hurriedly finished speaking, and after getting Zhang Peng's consent, he immediately turned off his mobile phone.

The two turned around, crossed the streets and alleys, and then rented a jeep with a younger brother's ID card, drove on the highway, and drove in the direction of Tiandu.

10 million Chinese dollars, in the eyes of Zhang Peng and others, is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, but for an international organization, it is not money at all. But when it comes to the whereabouts of another knife, the Great Red Pill, it becomes extremely complicated.

Zhou Fuyuan entrusted the auction to be a large listed company with a market value of hundreds of millions. As long as the auction is successful, they will transfer the money to the designated account in accordance with the contract, and no additional operation is required. As long as the money in the account is not used, the other party will not be able to find out their location.

God knows how much energy the Dongying multinational company has and how many joints have been bought. Even if this is Huaguo, there is not necessarily much sense of security.

Life and death are a matter of life and death, and caution is paramount.

After another two days, Zhang Peng, Li Chunsheng, and Lao Huangpi returned to Huangniu Mountain and dug out the chess pieces from the soil. Wipe the dirt and dust with the sleeves, and the color of the chess pieces is much darker, as black as graphite.

When the Skeleton Assassin was summoned, the black mist had condensed a lot, and sunlight was completely impenetrable.

“I am here,my master……”

The skeletal assassin's voice was calm and powerful, and it seemed to be much younger, no longer the hoarse of an old man. The sharp knife in his hand exuded a stunning light.

Zhang Peng's mind moved, and the skeleton assassin immediately turned into black mist. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of a miscellaneous tree a few meters away, and his hand was up and down. I saw a flash of cold light, and the crown of the tree fell crookedly. When you look closer, the cut in the trunk is flat and smooth, like cut tofu.

"This thing is kind of interesting." Li Chunsheng sighed involuntarily.

After trying for a while, Zhang Peng took back the skeleton assassin, and the three of them walked side by side towards the bottom of the mountain.

"More than 10 million were sold over there, excluding auction fees and taxes, half of it was given to the other party's company, and half was given to Lao Zhou, and we could get more than 2 million." Zhang Peng said.

"Wow!" The old yellow skin's eyes lit up, and he almost drooled.

"Don't be too happy, the one that can really get it is estimated to be 1.5 million." Zhang Peng said. Last time, I promised Lao Zhou and Director Dai to donate 500,000 yuan to the Lotus Temple as a pension for the sacrificial monks.

"That's not a lot." Li Chunsheng said.

"How about buying a car?" Zhang Peng asked.

"There's no need...... Li Chunsheng objected, "It's so expensive to keep a car, and we don't know how to drive, so let's borrow it." ”

"I won't go to school!" Zhang Peng straightened his face and said, "Starting tomorrow, you two will go to learn to drive." It's too much trouble to always rely on borrowing. ”

"Seriously, one and a half million, not much. You just have to buy it, and you have to buy a Land Cruiser, or the Land Rover, no matter how bad it is, it will be a Jeep. There is no 1.8 million, and I can't get down. Buying a city car is really not as convenient as a taxi. Li Chunsheng analyzed.

"I think so." Old Huangpi took the opportunity to echo.

"This ......" Zhang Peng touched his forehead and hesitated, "I'll think about it again......"
