Text Chapter 7 Out of the Forbidden Palace
Night.
The imperial capital is brightly lit, and the imperial capital under the cover of night is full of prosperity, full of people, and the streets and alleys are bustling.
A young man with an ordinary appearance but an extraordinary temperament walked on the street on the south bank of the Wei River in the imperial capital, and the two pointed and crystal clear blood-red horns on his forehead were so peculiar.
Gu Chu looked around curiously, this was the first time he left the imperial court after nightfall, the bustling downtown and the strange new things made him novel.
Although the small horns on the head are different, although most people will remain the same after awakening the Dao blood, or there are extremely slight changes, there are also many people who have changed their physiognomy because of the awakening of the Dao blood, and some people even become more inclined to the appearance of the awakened demon blood, just like Gu Chu Shen's awakening dragon bloodline, there are two small sharp horns of the dragon on the head, and some have changed even more, and the whole body has changed, becoming like a man and a beast, but fortunately, if you can break through to the realm of the Dao Emperor, the changes produced by the awakening of the Dao blood can be suppressed and restored to the original appearance。
Therefore, Gu Chu Shen's strange appearance did not attract huge attention, and along the way, Gu Chu Shen saw several strange-looking people, and he was still strange about the abnormal changes caused by the awakening of Dao blood.
Moreover, Gu Chu Shen doesn't care about his appearance, as long as he breaks through to the Dao Emperor, he can take away the changes brought about by the awakening of the bloodline and restore the appearance of the human race.
On both sides of the moat, the bottom of the most prosperous and expensive imperial court in the imperial capital has the world's largest gambling house, brothel and restaurant······ This is the gold cave of the top group of people on the pyramid of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, a nest of pleasure, here on both sides of the South River there are only things you can't think of, never something that can't be found, at the same time, under the endless prosperous and glamorous appearance, here is also the largest black market in the imperial capital, an underground trading place.
Mid-end of the South River.
Vientiane Chamber of Commerce!
That's it, Gu Chushen can see the four gilded characters on the plaque 'Vientiane Chamber of Commerce' from a distance.
The magnificent and luxurious pavilions and jade buildings, carved railings and jade bricks, are splendid, and everywhere reveals the atmosphere of luxury.
As soon as Gu Chushen entered the door, he was not tall and thin, and the little guy greeted him with a smile: "This master, the first time you come to the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, the small one looks at you strangely, but once you are born and twice cooked, next time you come to the small one, you will be ripe." ”
"Does the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce buy things?" asked Gu Chushen.
"Of course, our Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, whether it is antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, panaceas, or Taoist weapons, Dao weapons, and Taoism, as long as they are valuable, there is nothing that will not be accepted, this young master, please here. ”
The little guy took Gu Chu Shen and walked in, the hall of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce was splendid, the people inside were endless, there was a side door on the east side of the hall, and the little guy led Gu Chu to sink in.
Behind the door was a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor were some single rooms, and Gu Chushen could see that some small servants were leading customers like him in and out, and Gu Chushen was led to the door of a room at the end of the corridor.
"Little boy, there is an appraiser from this pavilion inside, just go in. The servant pointed to the room.
Pushing the door in, the room is not big, the decoration is very elegant, a middle-aged man is bored to sit on the chair next to the table, hearing the sound of pushing the door, the middle-aged man turned his head and saw Gu Chushen who came in, his face was instantly full of smiles, and asked kindly: "What does this little young master want to sell?" ”
Gu Chushen took out a pair of palm-sized jade unicorns from his arms and put them on the table, which were one of the second boxes of treasures sent by the Internal Affairs Office.
The purpose of his coming here is to sell this pair of jade unicorns, and soon he will leave the imperial court and go outside to open a tooth and build a mansion alone, and there will be no need for a lot of money at that time, rather than guarding a few things that can only be seen, it is better to exchange them all for real money.
And this time he only brought this pair of jade unicorns to the black market trading, one is that he is afraid that he will bring too many things out of the palace for the guards to find out, his dignified prince is going to sell his property, and his reputation will be completely ruined if it is spread out, I am afraid it will become the biggest joke in the entire imperial capital, and the second is that he is the first time to come to this kind of black market trading, and he does not know the market inside, this time he will explore the water first.
Just when Gu Chushen took out a pair of jade unicorns, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he couldn't wait to pick up the jade unicorns on the table, and when he looked at it, the light in his eyes became more and more vigorous, and he didn't care about Gu Chushen hanging aside.
"How is it, how much is it worth?" asked Gu Chushen impatiently.
The middle-aged man was reluctant to put the jade unicorn back on the table, stroked the sparse beard on his chin, and smacked his lips: "This pavilion is willing to pay 50,000 silver coins to receive this pair of jade unicorns." ”
Wu Wan silver coins, Gu Chu Shen's face darkened, although he didn't know how much this pair of jade unicorns could sell for in the market, but the objects treasured by the Internal Affairs Office were all treasures in a hundred, and there was no defective product, definitely more than 50,000 silver coins.
"One hundred thousand silver coins, nothing less. Gu Chu Shen frowned. "If you don't know the goods, there will always be those who know the goods, and there is more than one auction house in the world, the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce. ”
The middle-aged man took a sip of the hot tea placed on the table in advance, and said with a smile unhurriedly: "The baby is a good baby, the color is flawless, and the workmanship is also first-class, but where does this thing come from····· 80,000 silver coins, this is the highest price that this pavilion can offer. ”
The middle-aged man smiled meaningfully, Gu Chushen was young, dressed like a rich son, holding such a pair of treasures, the middle-aged man suddenly had a number in his heart.
Every month he can receive a few customers like Gu Chushen, there are more gentlemen in the imperial capital than ants on the street, raising girls in the kiln, and losing a lot of debts in the casino. I'm afraid that my family will know that when I have no money, I will secretly take a few things from my family to the black market to sell, this kind of person, middle-aged people have seen a lot, but they don't dare to make a noise, and they are eager to make a move, so the middle-aged people look like they are going to eat Gu Chushen.
"Little master, have you thought about it? The middle-aged man said happily.
Gu Chushen frowned, hesitating, although his real situation was completely different from what the middle-aged man thought, but his situation was even worse than those gentlemen.
He knew in his heart that every penny he could earn now was the capital for him to settle down in the future, Gu Chushen gritted his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, "Give me money." ”
"Okay, deal. The middle-aged man laughed, took out a bill with the words of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce from his sleeve, wrote a few strokes from it and handed it to Gu Chushen, "This is a bill, take it to the counter in the hall and someone will exchange it for a silver ticket for you." ”
Gu Chu scolded the profiteer in his heart, and walked out of the door without looking back.
The little guy who had ordered him to come in just now was still waiting at the door, and when he saw Gu Chushen coming out with a bill in his hand, he was very happy, "Childe, you come here to exchange for a silver ticket." ”
The thin little guy led Gu Chu Shen to the hall to exchange the tickets for silver tickets, looking at Gu Chu Shen putting a thick stack of silver tickets, Gu Chu Shen didn't notice the little guy's sneaky smile, and said attentively: "Childe, it happens that there is an auction held in this pavilion tonight, and there will be a lot of new good things at the meeting, do you want to go and see it." ”
"Auction?"
"That's right, you won't know Childe," The thin little guy looked at Gu Chushen in surprise, his eyes were very strange, as if he saw a monster, the auction of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce was prosperous in the imperial capital, and every time it was held, it would attract a large number of powerful people or cultivators, even overseas countries, the great sect of the sect and even as far away as the Eastern Wilderness, and there would be people in the South Barbarian who would come here, and it was the most proud place of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce based on the firm, and this stupid boy came out of which corner of the corner, and he had not even heard of the auction that their Vientiane Chamber of Commerce was famous for.
The thin little guy wanted to eat Gu Chu Shen angrily, if the thin guy would not be able to bear this evil breath in normal times, the little guy rolled his eyes at him behind Gu Chu Shen's back, no, I must let this turtle boy spend all the money he just got and not a word left, the thin little guy said
"In the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, there are three grades of auctions, heaven, earth and people, the heaven-level auctioneers are only eligible to participate in the invitation of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce or the big people recognized by the cabinet, ordinary customers are not allowed to enter the heaven-level auction, the auction things are the top treasures that the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of energy searching for, so it will be held once every five years, and the two-level auction below the earth is open to all customers, and it will be held from time to time. ”
Gu Chu pondered for a while, he had never seen such an occasion as an auction in the palace, and said, "Take me to see it." ”
"Okay. ”
The auction hall of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce is very crowded, full of guests who came to participate in the auction.
On the semi-circular auction table, a young woman, plump, tall, exposed and sexy, is a rare beauty, not only that, Gu Chushen can see that this woman does have real skills, not a vase, painting and painting to mobilize the atmosphere of the entire auction room, and the inadvertent smile makes the crowd under the stage boil.
The thin little guy took Gu Chushen to the auction house, and also entered the single room upstairs, the room was very spacious, it was not crowded for one or twenty people, and it was magnificent, Gu Chushen was a little weak-hearted, he didn't have much in his pocket, pointed to the few empty positions in the back row downstairs, and said with some uneasiness: "Go downstairs, how lively downstairs is." ”
The thin little guy, his face stiffened, as if he had seen through Gu Chushen's thoughts, and said with a smile: "In this merchant, transactions of more than 50,000 silver coins are included in the VIP, and this is a single room is a VIP benefit for free." ”
"It's nothing, it's up to the top, you can see it clearly. Gu Chushen ignored the thin little guy's contemptuous gaze, calmly looked at the auction in full swing under the stage, picked up a spirit peach in the fruit bowl on the table and ate it, just took a bite of something that he seemed to suddenly realize, scratched his head and looked at the thin guy embarrassedly.
"Free!Fee!Yes!Eat!No!Money!"
Squeak, squeak... The sound of gnashing teeth rang out in the room.
"Brother, what's wrong with you. ”
"It's okay, it's been a little hot these days. ”
"Ao, or you can defeat the fire by eating a peach. ”
The thin little guy squeezed out a smile with difficulty, "No need, you can eat, if it's not enough, I'll give it to you again." ”
"Brother, you're so nice. Gu Chushen chewed on the peach, this peach is really delicious.
