Chapter 16: The Scramble
Looking at the people of the three major families who were constantly fighting with each other, Chu Xu couldn't help but summon the maid next to him, "How much quota do I have?"
The handsome girl next to her replied: "The deacon has already explained, your quota, 50,000, son, you can bid as much as you want." ”
Chu Xu touched his chin, 50,000 yuan, it's not bad, these five god-boosting grasses are of great use to me, don't care about opening the upper dantian, even if it is a time to treat diseases, you also need to nourish the spirit, not to mention, there is no harm in being strong in spiritual energy, thinking of this, Chu Xu shouted "Five thousand." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was as silent as if the air had been evacuated. Even Li Qian was a little surprised, but after all, he was the chief auction officer, the flower of the town, and immediately reacted, "The guests in the Tianzi No. 1 box are five thousand, is there a higher price?"
"Tianzi No. 1? Which big family is in it? ”
"I don't know, but when the three major families are fighting, I dare to come in and intervene, I'm afraid it's not a simple thing. ”
"I just don't know if it's a river dragon or a soft-shell worm. ”
"I don't know who this little friend is, in the Cao family, Cao Zhengchun, can you remove the bead curtain and chat. There was a burst of voices from Room No. 1, which sounded enthusiastic, but the meaning was chilling.
In a box room, like a membrane attached to the floor-to-ceiling window of the box, you can see what is going on outside, but outsiders can't see what's going on in the room, but only when you close the core, it will slowly rise.
This Cao Zhengchun didn't have any good intentions, he just wanted to simply test his own way. "No need, bid. ”
Li Qiancai followed up and said: "This Tianzi No. 1 box is 5,000, does anyone want to come up with a higher price." ”
"Six thousand. Hong Tao's old voice came steadily, and the bead curtain of the box was also raised, and a silver-haired sturdy old man sat on the sofa, looking at the other boxes with cloudy eyes, and said lightly: "Old man, old man has a young son, I want this thing to cultivate my young son, please give me Hong Tao a face, give this thing to the old man, and the old man is grateful." ”
At the same time, except for Chu Xu's Tianzi No. 1 box, the bead curtains of the other boxes all fell. I saw Fang Zhi arching his hand to him and said, "Since Old Patriarch Hong has spoken, then there will be no fighting." ”
"Thank you, old man remembered. ”
"I'm afraid that we are willing, and some people are afraid that they are not willing to sell your old face. At this time, Cao Zhengchun's slightly old face exuded a gloomy smile.
"I don't know if the son of the No. 1 box is willing to be an adult, lower the bead curtain, and take a look. Hong Tao's vigorous voice echoed.
Chu Xu couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp at this time, this offended one, and offended another, looking at his inevitable appearance, he was afraid that he would form a grudge, but at this time, he let go, but Chu Xu couldn't do it, after all, he also needed it, no matter who he was, if he didn't show up, could he still find himself?
"I'm sorry, Elder Hong, this thing is also something I urgently need, and I hope Haihan. After Chu Xu finished speaking, he shouted a price: "Eight thousand, if Hong Lao can offer a higher price, he will never follow him again." ”
"Good, good, young people nowadays have the courage. Hong Tao weighed his own funds and the importance of the next lots, although as the head of the family, he could not use them easily, so he had to give up.
Li Qianjiao's good face showed a smile and asked, "But there are still people who have increased the price?" Three, two, one, I announced that the Zengshen Grass was photographed by the guests of Tianzi No. 1. "With a slight blow of the hammer, the dust settled.
"The next lot is more special, it is an antiquity before the spirit year, as we all know, there are very few things that can be preserved in the spirit year, this antiquity is still relatively intact after 5,000 years, and there are words on it before the spirit year. Li Qian snickered like a little fox and introduced, while lifting the red cloth next to it, a mirror-like thing lying quietly on it, made of bronze, covered with mottled traces, showing the heavy history carried by its long era, and the back was embossed with patterns such as coiled dragon and gluttony, and its center was two ancient characters.
Chu Xu saw at a glance that it was a small seal, and the two words engraved were the death. Chu Xu couldn't help but hold on to the armrest of the sofa tightly, breathing rapidly to show his uncontrollable mood. Next to him, Tan Jue glanced at Chu Xu deeply, and then looked carefully in the mirror, but he didn't find anything abnormal. Although Chu Xu was a little green in his eyes, he was usually relatively stable, and he didn't know why he was like this.
Here Li Qian is boasting about this antiquity, "This antiquity is something similar to a mirror, although we have not studied how to use it, but we have identified it as a magic weapon, or even a magic weapon, its material is special, no matter what method is used, it can't be damaged in the slightest, and... ”
I saw Li Qian gently pick it up and turn it to the back, touched the ornament and its ancient characters on it, and said: "The ornament of such a rare and exotic beast class, looking at the two ancient character symbols, although we don't know and can't know, but from its simple composition, and its breathtaking spiritual power, we can feel that it is not simple, and it hides a great secret." Li Qian gently put it down and said to everyone: "So don't miss it, maybe you can unlock it and get a great opportunity." ”
"That's right, that's it. Chu Xu looked in the mirror and couldn't help but keep repeating the words, he couldn't understand why this thing also came with him or what, he had to find out.
"The starting price, 1 spirit coin, let's start bidding, the highest bidder wins. ”
The second and third floors were directly involved in the fierce competition from the very beginning.
At present, the first voice is a wealthy merchant on the second floor, who has mastered a considerable part of the transportation channel: "Two thousand spirit coins." ”
"Three thousand spirit coins. Li Li, you delivery grooms, why do you want this kind of antiquities? Don't be grandstanding. ”
"Wang Da Fatty, it's your business, can't you buy it and collect it? Three thousand, you dare to argue with me even if you are a weaver."
Just when Li Wang and Wang were chasing each other, Hong Tao, the patriarch of the Hong family on the third floor, directly reported eight thousand, and also persuaded these two guys who were lacking in qi to retire, after all, in Hongcheng, except for the other two families, no matter the financial resources and size, there is no qualification to compete with the Hong family.
"Ten thousand. Fang Zhi said lightly.
"Ten thousand twelve. Cao Zhengchun's cold voice came.
"Ten Thousand Three"
"Fifteen thousand"
Facing Fang Zhi and Cao Zhengchun following closely step by step, Hong Tao unhurriedly brought it up, he understood the thoughts of these two families, for the last thing, consume his financial resources in advance, kick himself off the competition stage, and cover the previous competition, Fang Cao and Cao both have this purpose, an ancient artifact, as long as it is useful to the Hong family, the rest will not be able to study anything if they send them.
After thinking about it, this thing would be of great use to his family's research on runes, so he had to decide to give up the last finale and fight for this artifact with all his might. couldn't help but shout out the high price of 20,000 directly.
And Fang Zhi and Cao Zhengchun saw that their goal was achieved, and kicked the Hong family out of the game in advance, so they each returned to the sofa, drank tea, and watched the old god comfortably. Just when Hong Tao watched the other two give up, he didn't have time to rejoice, and a piercing voice came.
