Chapter 36: The Cursed Sword
Twenty thousand gold coins is not a small amount. However, is Tianxian Yulu going to let it out like this? Xiyue lowered her face and pressed the bidding button.
"Twenty-five thousand! Another friend from the Red Zone! Bid 25,000 gold coins! Is there anything higher? Heavenly Immortal Jade Dew is hard to find, everyone should seize the opportunity!"
In the first seat of the red VIP area, a man looked at Xiyue with some surprise. Due to the dim light in the auditorium and the fact that everyone was wearing masks, he couldn't see Xiyue's appearance clearly.
"I can't believe that there are still people who dare to bid with me. The man sneered and waved his hand.
"Toot-"
"Forty thousand gold coins!" The auctioneer exclaimed, and almost jumped up with excitement: "I actually raised the price directly to 40,000 yuan! It seems that the friend of the No. 1 in the red area is determined to auction this treasure! Is there anything higher?"
Xiyue frowned, a little hesitant.
"Forget it, it's too expensive, let's not buy it. Qin Yubin said weakly.
"No, Tianxian Yulu is very valuable to us, and since we have encountered it today, we must buy it. Xiyue gritted her teeth.
"Forty thousand gold coins once, forty thousand gold coins twice—"
"Toot-"
"Oh my God—I read that right!" The auctioneer rubbed his eyes: "Friend of Red Zone No. 4 bids 50,000 gold coins!"
There was an uproar at the auction table, 50,000 gold coins to buy a small bottle of immortal medicine, what kind of person is it, with such huge financial resources.
"Fifty thousand gold coins once, fifty thousand gold coins twice, fifty thousand gold coins three times, bang!" the auction hammer struck on the case, "Deal! Congratulations to the friends of No. 4 in the red area, you have successfully auctioned Tianxian Yulu!"
In the No. 1 position in the red zone, the man's face was a little ugly, but he didn't expect that the treasure he was bound to obtain was taken away by someone with a horizontal knife.
"Next, the last piece of the auction remains. It can be used as a grand finale, and I don't need to say much about its preciousness, so please take a look. ”
Two staff members pushed a booth next to the auctioneer, which was covered with a bright red cloth to cut off the view of the crowd. However, for some reason, as soon as this item appeared, the atmosphere of the entire auction room seemed to become gloomy, and it was a little breathless.
What is this last piece of collection? Qin Yubin's face was solemn, and he felt that what was behind the curtain was exuding a strange aura.
The auctioneer solemnly walked to the booth and slowly lifted the curtain.
It was a sword.
This sword is not as ornate as everyone imagined, but looks very ancient, the whole is dark, and there is a faint dark red ornament engraved on it, like some Sanskrit, exuding a faint and ancient atmosphere. However, it is such a simple and unpretentious sword, but it has a solemn and solemn killing power, which makes everyone feel a sense of awe in their hearts.
Good sword!" Qin Yubin sighed.
"Excalibur - Oni Abyss. The auctioneer took a deep breath, changed his previous passionate and pompous style, and said solemnly.
"This sword, its majesty, I believe everyone can feel it. It has a history of 1,000 years, and it is still undiminished. It stands to reason that such a good sword should be in the pocket of countless people. But—" The auctioneer paused, sighed, and said, "The auction house will not hide its shortcomings from everyone in line with the principle of no deception. It's a cursed sword. ”
At the bidding table, the eager VIPs suddenly quieted down and looked at the auctioneer suspiciously.
"This sword has passed many times over the years, and it has passed into the hands of more than 20 people. However, its successive owners, without exception, all died tragically. The auctioneer's voice was low: "This sword has a very strong yin qi, and it seems to be able to attract fierce ghosts, and there is no shortage of people who have cultivated to a high level and are killed by it." Therefore, you must think carefully before bidding. ”
The people in the audience looked at each other and showed regretful looks. No matter how good this sword is, it is not as important as life. Those who were still considering bidding just now gave up the idea of bidding.
"However, although this is a fierce sword, it is not a mundane thing after all. Considering its comprehensive value, we finally gave a starting price of 50,000 gold coins. ”
"It's 50,000 gold coins, it's too expensive, isn't it?!"
"Like, who would pay such a large amount of money for something that is not clean?"
As soon as the reserve price came out, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.
The auctioneer looked at the VIPs with some embarrassment and asked, "Is anyone willing to bid?"
There was not a single respondent in the auction table.
In fact, this is also expected by him. There is a big problem with the thing itself, and the price is set so high, the VIPs who come are rich, but not stupid, who will spend this unjust money.
The auctioneer sighed, and was about to ask the staff to put the sword back when there was a sudden "beep" in the red VIP area.
He froze, Red Zone No. 4, bid 50,000 gold coins!
Everyone looked at the red zone in amazement.
Qin Yubin sat upright in his seat, his mask covering his expression. That's right, 50,000 gold coins, he paid it.
He didn't want to take this piece of art at first, but the sound of falling dust suddenly appeared in his consciousness, and he insisted that he buy it.
Although he was also afraid of being haunted by powerful ghosts, and he was also afraid of the curse on the sword, since Luochen asked him to buy it, it must make sense. He believes that falling dust will not harm him.
"Fifty thousand gold coins once, fifty thousand gold coins twice, fifty thousand gold coins three times, deal! Congratulations to the friend of No. 4 in the red area, I took a picture of the divine sword - Ghost Yuan!"
"This auction has come to a successful conclusion here, please go backstage to the VIPs who won the collection to collect their respective items!"
