Chapter 11: The Auction of Spiritual Flesh
He Yongsheng pulled Zhang Yan to appear at the staircase on the second floor, and looked around, good guy, the black pressed piece was all melon seeds. The www.biquge.info huge hall on the second floor of the Pen, Fun Pavilion has no place for anyone other than the small auction table.
"Brother Zhang, are all your auctions like this?" He Yongsheng asked, standing on the top of the stairs and pointing to the crowd of black oppressors.
Zhang Yan also looked at the crowded crowd, it seems that today is really a bit abnormal! He has also been to the spirit beast meat auction in Shanglin Food Garden so many times, but there are not as many people as there are this time! Could it be that there will be any valuable spirit beast meat auction today?
However, he looked at the crowd and still had to show a wry smile, "Brother He, auctions in other regions will provide special seats, and some special people have the privilege of sitting in the box to watch. However, all this does not make sense in Shanglin Food Court. The auction of Shanglin Food Garden is afraid that it is not an auction at all, because the things it auctions each time are very small and very single, that is, spirit beast meat. However, it does not affect its attractiveness to the entire Qingyun Town. Moreover, Shanglin Food Garden is very good at doing business, and there will be no internal news before each spirit beast meat auction, just with the sound of gongs, and the sound of gongs means that there is a spirit animal meat auction tonight, which also promotes the development of Shanglin Food Garden on the one hand!"
He Yongsheng and Zhang Yan walked down the stairs while talking, and the fat sea behind them was not slow, and then appeared at the staircase.
"Young Master Jin, Young Master Jin......" Fat Dahai glanced at the crowd of people below and saw a few people standing close to the auction table, and then shouted with a smile on his face to the handsome boy among the few people.
"Brother Zhang, who is Young Master Jin?" After He Yongsheng heard the voice of the fat sea, he pulled Zhang Yan's clothes beside him and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while, and then replied uncertainly: "The surname Jin is really rare in our Qingyun Town, and this Young Master Jin can appear on this occasion, which should have a great relationship with the Jin family." Although the Jin family is not as powerful as the three major families in Qingyun Town, but it is rich and rich, and I privately heard that it is very close to the Liu family, one of the three major families, and under the power of the fox and the tiger, the power is not much inferior to the three major families. ”
"Brother Zhang, where did this Jin family get so much money? Could it be that the three major families can let the Jin family develop?"
"Brother He, you don't know anything. Do you know what the Jin family relied on to make their fortune? It relied on fur! The largest leather goods store in Qingyun Town was the property under the name of the Jin family. Spirit beasts are not easy to obtain, and traces of spirit beasts more than five hundred years old are even more difficult to find. There have only been three spirit beasts that are more than five hundred years old in our entire Qingyun Town, and without exception, those spirit beasts have all gone out from the place where we are standing! And the only few spirit beast skins that are more than five hundred years old were finally bought by the Jin family at a high price. Zhang Yan said this and pointed to the floor under his feet.
He Yongsheng looked in the direction of Zhang Yan's fingers, and couldn't help but be stunned, since it was so difficult to find a spirit beast that was more than five hundred years old, how did Shanglin Food Garden find it?
Seeing He Yongsheng's puzzled expression, Zhang Yan smiled and continued: "The Lin family in Shanglin Food Garden originally did not belong to Qingyun Town, and when it comes to the Lin family, then we have to start from the winter of thirty years ago. It was a very cold winter, and the first snow of the year fell in November, a little earlier than usual......"
'Is this Nima telling a story or singing?' Do you think you're going to be that guy with two whole lyrics?
He Yongsheng had to interrupt Zhang Yan's words, why can't he find the point when he says something?
"Brother Zhang...... Getting to the point!!"
"Oh, oh...... There is a feeling, there is a feeling. Thirty years ago, there were only two big families in Qingyun Town, Meng and Liu, but after the Lin family came, overnight, the wind in Qingyun Town changed, and it became a situation where the three major families were dominant. As for the origin of the Lin family, the other two families have always been secretive, and outsiders have rarely heard of this. And the Lin family has also been very low-key over the years, except for this Shanglin Food Garden, there is no longer any industry in the entire Qingyun Town. ”
He Yongsheng touched his chin and said with emotion: "It seems that the Lin family is not simple! Brother Zhang, how did you know about what happened thirty years ago? You can't make it up, right?"
"Believe it or not!" Zhang Yan threw a disdainful glance at He Yongsheng.
As soon as Zhang Yan's words fell, several figures appeared on the auction table over there.
I saw an old man with gray hair, but a very ruddy face, leading a beautiful woman in red to the auction table.
After the figure of the old man appeared on the stage, the originally noisy voices in the audience slowly sank. It seems that this old man still has some power, otherwise everyone would not behave like this.
"Old decay Lin Hong, deacon of the outer gate of the Lin family. Thanks to your continued support for Shanglin Food Garden, I won't say much nonsense, let's start tonight's spirit beast auction. Of course, it is still the same old rule, the one with the highest price will get it, and the resulting spirit beast meat can only be eaten in the store, once it is taken out of Shanglin Food Garden, then all the accidents that occur will no longer belong to Shanglin Food Garden, do you know it?" said the white-haired old man without a smile.
Shanglin Food Garden is really wonderful, what is the auction for? Aren't you just trying to find some wronged big man to buy things at a high price? But you find such an old man to preside over it, who will be interested? Besides, look at this old man as if he owes him much money, who is willing to pay for him?
Although He Yongsheng despised it in his heart, since the incident in the City Lord's Mansion, he could be regarded as having understood a truth, that is, don't talk nonsense as much as possible! This Nima is an era when almost everyone knows martial arts! It doesn't matter if you say a sentence or a half, but if you make people unhappy, you don't know how to die when you die. Don't talk about reporting to the official, it's useless, I don't see that I'm being bullied by the official!
"Brother Zhang, why does the auctioned spirit beast meat have to be eaten in the store?
"Brother He, even if it is the lowest-grade hundred-year-old spirit beast meat, eating a piece can play a role in strengthening the body. And like the meat of a spirit beast that is more than 500 years old, it can improve the cultivation of a martial artist! Although the medicinal effect may not be as good as the elixir, how rare is the elixir? Moreover, most of the elixirs are in the hands of big families, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money! Do you think you should grab this kind of good thing?"
"What kind of meat is this Nima? How does it sound a little similar to Tang monk meat? However, it's really weird. If there really is such a spirit beast meat outside, unless it's stupid, who won't grab it?"
The old man surnamed Lin's voice fell, and everyone in the audience responded.
"Old Lin, we all know the rules. ”
"Old Lin, if something happens, you won't find Shanglin Food Garden, don't worry!"
"Old man Lin, when did the grinding and chirping start?" Of course, the final result of the owner of this sentence was just a sigh, and the rest was unknown.
The person who is called Young Master Jin by Fat Dahai seems to be quite powerful among everyone. I saw him raise his hand and press it, and the sound of the crowd began to get quieter.
Seeing this, Young Master Jin smiled proudly, then folded the small fan in his hand, and said to the old man on the stage: "Deacon Lin, the big guys have been friends for many years, and everyone must know the stakes. Isn't it time for the auction to begin?"
As soon as Young Master Jin's voice fell, the weather vane of the crowd was driven in an instant, and they all started shouting. Seeing that the big guy was so enthusiastic by his three or two words, Young Master Jin opened the fan and fanned it, and then he didn't know if it was because of the cold or what, so he hurriedly stopped his hand, but the smile on his face could still see the pride in his heart.
Seeing this, the old man on the stage shook his head. Although he has some opinions about Young Master Jin's words, he is just an outer deacon of the Lin family, and some people can't be offended just because he is a member of the Lin family.
"Since everyone is so eager to start tonight's auction, then I won't say much, I hope you will do it yourself!" After Lin Hong finished saying this, he turned around and walked in front of the woman in red, and slowly ripped off the red brocade silk on the tray in the woman in red's hand.
"Everyone, this is the first spirit beast tonight, and everyone in the audience should know about it. ”
"Sideburns rabbit!" Young Master Jin exclaimed after looking at it for a while.
Lin Hong looked at Young Master Jin, then nodded, and then said: "Young Master Jin has good eyesight, this thing is the sideburns rabbit! However, this sideburns rabbit is not simple, this is the sideburns rabbit king! After the appraisal of Master Nelu of Shanglin Food Garden, the yuan power stored in the body of this sideburns rabbit is at least equivalent to a small yuan pill, of course, this is only the most conservative estimate!
"This old man is too dark, isn't it! Just such a hare, he dares to ask for twenty gold! I want to go crazy for money! Whoever buys it has a sick brain!" He Yongsheng muttered quietly.
"Twenty gold!" a middle-aged man wearing a high hat and a staff coat raised his hand.
"Twenty hardware!" As soon as the outsider's voice fell, a handsome boy here raised his hand and raised the price up.
There were two people in the lead, and the rest of the others were a little nervous. Not to mention anything else, just saying that the price of a small Yuan Dan on the market is about forty gold, and it is all in a state of price and no market, so it is more cost-effective to spend thirty or forty gold to buy this sideburns.
Sure enough, the voice of thirty gold sounded in the middle position, but the distance was too far for He Yongsheng to see the appearance of this person.
"Thirty-three gold!"
"Thirty-five gold!"
"Thirty-six gold!"
......
"Forty-nine gold!"
In the end, the sideburns rabbit was sold at a price of forty-nine gold, and the person who photographed the sideburns was naturally full of joy, and everyone else was faintly regretful.
"Brother Zhang, just such a thing, can it be worth forty-nine gold??" He Yongsheng looked at a group of people who seemed to be crazy, and couldn't help but ask in amazement.
"Brother He, don't underestimate this rabbit! Although sideburns are not uncommon, it is difficult to survive more than a hundred years. The final transaction price is higher, but it is not a loss, and on the whole, it is still okay. Zhang Yan explained to He Yongsheng.
However, Zhang Yan looked at the distance, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Brother He, have you seen it?" That Young Master Jin has been smiling, such a rare sideburns rabbit, he has not moved any thoughts to buy it. And if you take a closer look at some of the people in the audience, many of them are the same as this Young Master Jin, don't you think there are some of them who are tired?"
He Yongsheng looked in the direction of Zhang Yan's gaze, and there was really something special. But what's wrong with that? Maybe people just don't like to eat rabbit meat?
"Okay! Even if I didn't say this, let's continue to watch the auction, maybe it will be exciting later!" Zhang Yan turned his head and ignored He Yongsheng, who didn't know why.
He Yongsheng didn't know how many words he had scolded Zhang Yan in his heart, and he really regarded himself as a half-immortal!
When the first spirit beast was brought backstage to hand over, another woman in red walked out with a tray the size of a palm. Just looking at the size of this tray, it is easy to judge the size of the spirit beasts in it.
"This is today's second spirit beast, called the Heaven Swallowing Mouse! Shanglin Food Garden has been preliminarily identified, and this rat has a lifespan of more than two hundred years. The starting price is eighty gold, and the highest bidder wins!" Lin Hong hurriedly introduced the things to be auctioned, then walked off the auction table and walked towards the back.
"I didn't think there would be a Sky Swallower tonight!"
"yes! Sky Eaters are known for their speed, and someone actually caught this thing!"
The crowd burst into discussion, and the fat sea couldn't hold it back. Turning around, he asked Young Master Jin in a low voice, "Young Master Jin, are you going to want this Sky Swallowing Mouse?"
Young Master Jin also had to think about it this time, you must know that this spirit beast is also a spirit beast of more than two hundred years, as long as there is a chance, people with a little power will not be able to help but do it. But thinking about the spirit beast he heard about tonight, he still resisted the urge to ask.
After Young Master Jin shook his head slowly, Fat Dahai was extremely happy, and hurriedly raised his hand and called out the first offer, "One hundred gold!"
'Where there are really people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are local tyrants. I really can't figure out how this fat sea can be so rich, and sure enough, it's still unseemly!'
Although the name of the Sky Swallowing Rat has the word "Heaven Swallowing", it is actually a black mouse. As for why it is called the Sky Swallowing Mouse, He Yongsheng took a closer look, and he only found a barely plausible reason after looking at it for a long time, that is, this rat has a big mouth.
He Yongsheng is a rookie in this area, but it doesn't mean that others are also rookies. Just look at the fierce discussion with the surrounding crowd, who dares to say that people are rookies?
"Brother He, don't look at this mouse, such a sky-swallowing rat, if it is still alive, you may not be able to see clearly when it runs past your heels in broad daylight. Not only is it fast, but the appetite of this kind of Sky Swallowing Rat is also amazing, looking at this little thing is not big, but the amount of food it eats in one meal, an adult wild boar may not be enough for it to eat, which is why it is called the Sky Swallowing Rat! Moreover, this kind of rat is born with the ability to accumulate Yuan Force, and if a person who practices martial arts eats this kind of rat meat, it will at least save decades of penance!"
After He Yongsheng listened to Zhang Yan's introduction, his face turned green all of a sudden. What are these people doing? This Nima is still grabbing rat meat to eat!
Although this Sky Swallowing Rat is dead, the starting price of Shanglin Food Garden is set at 80 gold, and 100 gold will not be the top price.
After a fierce bickering and bidding, the Sky Swallowing Rat was finally sold for one hundred and seventy gold, and the final winner was Fat Dahai. I have to say that although this old boy is not very good, he is really rich.
At this time, there was a boiling at the back of the crowd, and then I saw that the crowd was getting more and more crowded, and it turned out that the crowd gave way from the middle, and a road with a width of four people side by side led directly to the auction table.
"Brother Zhang, who is this old man who is here again, why is there a small cart covered in red cloth behind him?" He Yongsheng hurriedly pulled Zhang Yan and asked.
"I didn't expect Elder Lin to come out too! Could it be that there will be a spirit beast that is more than five hundred years old tonight? The first few times Elder Lin appeared at the auction of five hundred year spirit beasts, so if you calculate it, it is very possible in this regard. Zhang Yan was also shocked at this time, no wonder the crowd would have such a big reaction.
"Brother Zhang, then what is the use of this Elder Lin you are talking about, and the small trailer that is being dragged behind?"
"Trailer, is it used to transport spirit beasts that are more than five hundred years old?" Zhang Yan said after a moment's hesitation.
"Transporting spirit beasts, using such a small cart to transport spirit beasts, it's really a shame that you can think of it!" He Yongsheng had completely and deeply despised Zhang Yan at this time. Who would be idle and use a cart to pull a spirit beast to appear?
However, then again, if it's not a spirit animal, what could it be?
