Chapter Ninety-One: Shocking Changes
The fat old god smoked a cigarette and said, "What's so strange about this, it's just a few reasons." The first is that Christie's was a hyped price at that time, and it can't be taken seriously. Second, that is to see the wisdom of art, such as this Yuan blue and white porcelain, the last seller may like it very much, he thinks it is worth 230 million.
And the seller here doesn't appreciate it very much, so he can only bid 100 million. This is not surprising, and besides, the people here are not all collectors, most of them are businessmen. These antiques and exotic treasures are not just for collecting, they have a special purpose. ”
The fat man was still showing off how knowledgeable he was, and the auction was going on on the other side. After a high price of two hundred million, the auction suddenly fell into an inexplicable cold stage, and the three consecutive items in the back were only sold for seven or eight hundred gold coins.
In this way, Liu Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief, because according to the rules of this first round of the competition, the first place is naturally determined by the highest price. But after all, it is the first round, and the main purpose is to eliminate some unofficial players, so this is still a minimum quota.
The auction items display area in the cabin is said to contain more than 30 treasures, and there are also five hidden treasures. That is, there are a total of thirty-six treasures, and this time the top eight are selected. The auction will only auction ten pieces, which means that if the treasure you choose cannot be auctioned, then it will be eliminated directly.
If you can find the hidden treasure, then it is equivalent to directly advancing to the second round and a chance to win the championship. Moreover, only three of the more than 30 exhibits can be promoted, and this one-tenth probability is difficult to achieve by luck, and it is necessary to have a sharp eye for the treasure.
So on the whole, the rules of this first round seem simple, but in fact they are all hidden mysteries. Except for professional tomb robbers, there is basically no possibility for anyone else to advance, unless luck is against the sky, of course, even if they are promoted, this second round may not be able to pass through.
So on the surface, all the people on the boat can participate, but in fact, the groups of people who actually participate in the competition basically have a certain strength. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoge began to be a little unsure, so what is going on with his group, is it going through the back door?
Thinking like this, Liu Xiaoge couldn't help but feel funny. I have seen through the feng shui bureau on this cruise ship, and if I want to find the hidden treasures, it is nine out of ten, and now I have achieved a seventh place, or the result of my own low-key. Otherwise, taking the top five is not a matter of nine out of ten.
The little monkey grabbed Liu Xiaoge's arm excitedly at this time and said, "Look, it's our turn to consign." When the fat man and Li Xinwen heard it, they were also interested. Soon the 3D projection showed a gray dilapidated gourd of unknown material, and when I saw this gourd, Li Xinwen and the fat man were directly frozen as if they were struck by lightning.
When they came back to their senses, the fat man said excitedly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be this thing." I always thought this thing was a legend, but I didn't expect it. When the little monkey heard the fat man's tone, he obviously knew this thing, and asked, "Fat brother, do you know this broken gourd?" ”
The fat man looked at the little monkey in surprise and said, "You don't know this thing?" If you don't know it, you can put it up for auction, and you're not afraid of being pitted to death. The little monkey scratched his head and said cheekily: "This thing is left by the old target, and you know that the old target has a lot of entanglements with me." I thought about looking at his relics and got irritable, so I wanted to sell them, but I didn't expect this toss and toss, so I tossed and said here. ”
Li Xinwen grabbed in front of the fat man and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is probably a purple gold gourd containing pills." Liu Xiaoge almost didn't get shocked when he heard it, and said, "Are you sure you are not wrong?" Isn't that something from Journey to the West? This is reality, not the world of mythological fiction. ”
Li Xinwen nodded to show that she was not wrong, and the little monkey looked at the gray-black broken gourd and said, "This is impossible, shouldn't the purple gold gourd be purple or golden?" Why is this like this, it's completely incorrect. The fat man said with contempt: "Who told you that purple gold is purple or gold, tell you to read more, you really don't grow at all." ”
Li Xinwen continued to explain: "I don't know much about this purple gold gourd, but I've only heard about it. This thing is said to be a container for the elixir of immortality, and when you Xu Fu went to sea to find Penglai Immortal Island, it was to seek the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang. Who said that in the end, it was a failure, and Xu Fu also disappeared.
But folklore has never been broken, and it is said that Xu Fu was given the elixir of immortality. But he changed his mind, and after getting this thing, he suddenly didn't want to give it to Qin Shi Huang, he wanted to live forever for himself. Not only does he not die, but he also wants to learn from the gods to dominate the life and death of others.
So he learned to configure the elixir of immortality by himself, and this gourd was the container for Xu Fu to hold the elixir of immortality. Of course, this is also a legend, and it may not be true. After Liu Xiaoge listened to it, how did he feel, this legend is too exaggerated, the elixir of immortality, it's strange that this thing really exists.
With the advent of the purple gourd, the auction once again came to a standstill. No one made a bid for a long time, and the little monkey almost sweated, he didn't want to lose the auction. The host saw that the situation was not improving, so he said: "This thing looks very inconspicuous, but according to ancient legends, this thing involves the secret of immortality, don't you want to explore the mystery of life?" ”
With the host's words, it finally got a little better. The first time someone made a bid, it was not very high, only a hundred gold coins were given. Although there were only a hundred, Liu Xiaoge and the little monkey were almost happy to faint. That's 10 million, and although it is said that the auction will be charged 20 percent, it will also make a net profit of 8 million.
There was a feeling that the serf had turned over to become a master, with the bid of the first man. The field came alive at once, and each time it was a hundred gold coins that went up in price. Breaking through a thousand gold coins at once, the little monkey and Liu Xiaoge had already slipped off the sofa at this time and sat down on the ground.
A thousand gold coins is already the highest price at the moment, but the purple gold gourd is obviously more valuable than the previous two treasures. 1,000 pieces is still not the highest price, and it is still climbing. Thirteen hundred, fifteen hundred, two thousand. In a few breaths, it actually hit a new high, reaching 3,000.
The little monkey didn't dare to look at it at the moment, and actually began to chant the scriptures with his eyes closed. He was afraid that if he continued to look at it, the little heart would not be able to stand it. Liu Xiaoge is not a greedy person, but now he has eased up, seeing that the price is getting higher and higher, the ecstasy in Liu Xiaoge's heart gradually subsided, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose.
This uneasy feeling tormented Liu Xiaoge and made him uneasy. Fortunately, I stood up and didn't look at the quotation, walked to the window, and looked out the window at the dark night sky. At this glance, Liu Xiaoge was keenly aware that this was about to change the sky, although the weather on the sea was like a little girl's face, and it would change.
But this time the sky changed, Liu Xiaoge always felt that something big was going to happen. Sure enough, on the dark sea, several points of light suddenly appeared, more and more, getting closer and closer. Liu Xiaoge didn't understand what these points of light were, and suddenly the alarm sounded throughout the auction. The alert has only two words, enemy attack.
The fat man also stood up and walked out of the window and said, "It's interesting, someone dares to call out the Harold Chamber of Commerce, it seems that this adventure will not be too boring." Liu Xiaoge just wanted to speak, and suddenly saw a fire in the light not far away, and the ominous premonition in his heart reached the limit in this firelight.
Liu Xiaoge exclaimed: "Get down, it's a missile!" Because the moment he saw the firelight, a guess flashed in Liu Xiaoge's mind, this was definitely not fireworks. Then the only possibility left for this firelight, and that is missiles!
As soon as Liu Xiaoge's shout started, a violent explosion sounded from the ceiling, and a terrifying shockwave swept towards everyone with a wave of fire. This time the force was too great, and it was not at all that human power could resist, and the four people were swept up and slammed against the wall.
Dizzy for a moment, my whole brain was buzzing, and I could barely think. can only rely on instinct, control his body to curl up, and protect himself. The attack didn't end there, and soon there was another loud bang, and the wave of fire swept in again, and Liu Xiaoge's chest hurt directly from the shock, and he almost vomited blood.
At this critical juncture, Liu Xiaoge wanted to crawl outside the super private room where he was struggling, trying to avoid the center of the explosion. Just after climbing a few times, out of the corner of his eye, he saw three more flames rising into the sky outside the ship. Liu Xiaoge scolded in his heart: Your uncle, God, you are going to forcibly accept your grandfather and return to his position!
These two missiles almost smashed through the ceiling, which was a very heavy steel plate. If the three parties still hit here, they will definitely explode in the center of the auction, so that their lives will not be saved at all, and even if they are not killed directly, the cruise ship will be blown out of the hole.
Liu Xiaoge is no stranger to the movie Titanic, and the damage in the middle of the hull is a very fatal situation. In this case, the whole cruise ship will break as fast as possible and sink into the dark depths of the sea, and at that time, it will really become fish feed.
Just when Liu Xiaoge's heart was desolate, he was already closing his eyes and waiting for death. The explosion did not sound, but the entire sky lit up, and a bright white light shone through the huge breach in the top of the venue, illuminating the venue transparently.
Then there was the loud roar of helicopters, and several stairs descended from the sky, and at once a dozen heavily armed men fell into the cabin, and these men raised their weapons and aimed them at all the guests.
Immediately after that, the helicopter shouted on the radio: "You have been hijacked now, please don't move and cooperate with us, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." This broadcast continued to be repeated three times, and then the little monkey, Li Xinwen and others also came over, and the four of them gathered together.
