Chapter 109: The Auction
The night was deep, a crescent moon hung on the curtain, twelve black robes were wrapped, three thousand green silk were tied into a ponytail at random behind the head, a dark ribbon was wrapped around the waist, the body was cold, holding a small milk bag in his arms, with Ming Ye and Lan Xin behind him, followed by Qiu Lou on his side, and came to the scene of the auction.
A four-storey building independent of the Qinglong Kingdom Jingshi, with octagonal eaves, hanging several strings of wind chimes.
There was an endless stream of people entering the venue, a row of soldiers wearing armor was strictly guarding the outside of the venue, twelve probes, all of them were martial artists of the fifth or sixth order, and the masters in the venue were even more gathered, she frowned slightly, and she was about to go in.
"zhanzhu!" a soldier waved his sword in his hand and stopped in front of Twelve: "Show the invitation card." β
Invitation cards? And that kind of thing?
"Ruyi, the auction of Longmen can't be entered without an invitation card. Qiu Lou whispered in her ear.
Twelve frowned and smiled, "I'm sorry, I really wanted to forget to bring it, I'll come back later." β
After that, she turned around neatly, and after scanning the courtyard around, her eyes lit up, and she saw a prince and grandson who was surrounded by guards, trotted over, twisted her ankles, and threw herself into his arms, her wrists flipped over, and she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
The boy glanced at Twelve in disgust, and snorted coldly: "Remember to have long eyes when walking." With that, he waved his robe and walked towards the auction site without looking back.
"Please show your invitation card. The soldier also stopped the person, Brother Gongzi looked for it, rummaged through his whole body and didn't find it, he angrily pulled the guard next to him and kicked hard: "Where is the invitation card?"
"Master, the slave doesn't know. The guard hugged his head, crying without tears.
"Hmph! It must have fallen in the house, come back with me to get it!" Brother Gongzi snorted coldly, turned his head and left.
Until his figure disappeared around the corner, Twelve rubbed his temples and walked back outside the venue, handing a brand new invitation card to the soldier to examine.
"Please come in. This time, she easily entered the venue, through the arched moon gate, you can see that many princes and grandsons are being surrounded and walking inside, the cold moonlight is sprinkled on the ground, at the gate, hanging two red lanterns, twelve holding the small milk bag to go inside, Qiu Lou frowned, puzzled: "Ruyi, how do you have an invitation card?"
Twelve glanced at her, stepped into the venue in a flirtatious robe, guests gathered, a high platform in the lobby, and more than a dozen round tables below were filled with dense people, the second floor, the third floor, The fourth floor is a box, people who do not have a strong family background, it is impossible to enter the private room, the white of the twelve invitation cards, the location is on the second floor, she picked a box casually, which is neatly furnished, a toise chair, a pear round table, a few chairs, green potted plants are placed at the door, there is a bed of eight immortals behind the screen, under the wide open carved window, you can just see the high platform, the design is unique.
Twelve lay leisurely on the toise chair, and sat around the round table with Qiu Lou tomorrow night, with a small servant bringing melons and fruits, wine, and a few delicious side dishes, and the service was first-class.
The little milk bag nestled in the twelve arms, restlessly lying on the edge of the bed, looking at the crowd below, her eyes flashing: "Mommy, look, there are many people below." β
"Sit down. Twelve gently patted the head of the little milk bag, holding it, to prevent it from falling from the window, Lan Xin poured a glass of wine for Twelve, a glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, the beauty was drunk and lying in the concubine, in the box, it looked elegant, Leisurely picture, people continue to come in from the main entrance of the venue, up to the second floor, the most eye-catching is that when the auction is about to begin, a group of people who come in Zuihou are all wrapped in white, with a veil on their faces, there are about ten people, all of them are graceful, curvaceous, and are held in the center, is a tall girl, under the white veil, the beautiful face is looming, the half-exposed white Luo skirt, covering her wonderful body curve, the waves on her chest are about to come out, a woman who is enough to make all men lustful, covering the face under the veil, with a trace of mystery and charmγ
The moment the girl entered the venue, her eyebrows froze a little, and with her first-order strength of the martial arts, she couldn't even detect her cultivation! The body half sat up from the tuise longue, and her cold gaze fell on the woman below who was like the stars holding the moon.
With such a dress and such pomp, who else can there be except the Xuannu Palace?
Raised eyebrows: "It's coming so fast." β
She muttered, and turned her mind away from the visitor.
Qiu Lou naturally saw the figure below, her heart jumped, and she said uneasily: "Ruyi, Xuannu Palace is here." β
"I see, don't be nervous, they don't seem to be here for us this time. Twelve watched as a servant ushered the other into a box on the fourth floor opposite, and it seemed that they had also come for the things in this auction, and they looked up and drank all the wine in the cup, half-closing their eyes, and their eyes were downcast, obscure and dull.
The lanterns hanging in the lobby suddenly all went out, a beam of white light, enveloping the entire high platform, a master of ceremonies wearing a splendid robe, with a face like a crown of jade, a handsome appearance, and a steady lower plate, he walked to the high platform, coughed lightly in the eyes of everyone and said: "Tonight, thank you for coming to participate in this auction, I only represent Longmen, here to thank you for your loyalty." β
The audience applauded like thunder, Twelve closed her eyes, held the little milk bag, and quietly pillowed on the toise chair, the fighting spirit in her body was running rapidly, and the aura of heaven and earth rushed from the pores into the tendons, she did not miss the opportunity to cultivate all the time.
After a long clichΓ©, the first auction item finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a girl wearing a long skirt that dragged the floor, combed a flowing cloud bun, and walked up to the high platform with a tray covered with a red cloth.
"The first item is an indestructible sword, made by a high-ranking refiner, sharpened like clay, with a reserve price of five hundred gold coins. β
The twelve glanced at the sword lightly, in the halo, the sword body flashed with a cold white light, it was indeed a good sword, but unfortunately, she was not a person who used a sword, and she did not come for a weapon today.
"Six hundred gold coins!"
"Eight hundred!"
"Nine hundred!"
......
Everyone in the audience was in a hurry, Zuihou was bought by a swordsman at the price of a crystal card, he happily came to the stage to take away the sword, a fifth-order martial artist, with such a good sword, I am afraid that it will ......
Twelve chuckled and shook his head, waiting for the sky to appear.
There is also the best elixir refined by the alchemist, which can double the strength of the martial artist in an instant, and was bought by the royal family on the third floor, Qiu Lou exclaimed: "Oh my God, Ruyi, why don't you bid, that medicine is so powerful." β
"Is there a free lunch in this world?" asked Twelve with cold eyes and indifferent eyes.
Instantly burst out of liliang, which was twice as strong as his own, and it is conceivable that the sequelae are not small.
"That's just as well. Qiu Lou smiled and sat down again, "I just said how can there be such an elixir?"
"You were the most excited. Tomorrow night, Qiu Lou was speechless, she bared her teeth and glared at him angrily, grabbed the melon kernels on the table and threw them at Ming Ye, and scolded in her mouth: "I'll let you talk nonsense!
"Good men don't fight women, you're enough. Tomorrow night waved her sleeves and knocked down all the melon kernels that were thrown, her brows were furrowed, she looked angry, her eyebrows were cold, and Qiu Lou was really shocked, she stuck out her tongue, and didn't bother with him, and refocused her attention on the high platform below, and there were constantly rare treasures being carried out, the medicinal materials that were hard to find by the alchemist, the best cold iron that the refiner needed, and the invulnerable thousand silk armor, which could catch the beast rope of the demonic beast.
The reserve price of the goods in the back is getting higher and higher, and the people in the lobby hardly open their mouths to ask for the price anymore, and they are all the nobles in the box who are secretly competing.
This is the main event, twelve while drinking, while eating melons and fruits, looking at the prince and grandson in the box on the third and fourth floors, fighting for a thousand silk armor, the reserve price is a crystal card, to zuihou actually soared to eleven, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, even if this armor is invulnerable, how can it not be worth eleven crystal cards, right?
It is worthy of being rich, what a big deal.
zuihou, the winner of the auction was the boy in the box on the fourth floor, and the little guy sent the thousand silk armor to him, and then respectfully retreated.
Twelve secretly calculated that he only had four crystal cards in his hand, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would miss out on Tianlinghua.
"Ruyi, what are you thinking, your brows are furrowed. Qiu Lou ran to Twelve's side, squatted beside the chaise longue, looked at her, and muttered.
"Nothing. Twelve said indifferently.
"Cut, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, you'll fool me. She pursed her lips, glared at Twelve with a resentful look, and sat back down.
One product by one was photographed, but twelve times never asked for a price, she just leaned quietly on the tuise chair, looking down with obscure eyes, similarly, several boxes on the fourth floor did not open their mouths to bid, as if they were waiting for something with bated breath.
"The next item is amazing, Tian Linghua! This is the top medicinal material that can revive the Demon Beast with full blood! No matter how injured your Demon Pet is, as long as you take it, you can return to normal!" When Zuihou put a product on the high platform, Twelve obviously heard countless gasps in the lobby, one after another, her eyes lit up, and she looked fixedly at the pink petals on the tray below, and the delicate Tian Linghua.
"Fire Qilin, is that real or fake?" Twelve had a soul conversation with Fire Qilin in his mind.
"It's really Tian Linghua!" "The fire qilin had already smelled the elegant fragrance of Tian Linghua, woke up from its deep sleep, and roared excitedly, as long as he took it, he could recover ten percent of his liliang!
