Chapter 154: A Thousand Faces (3)
Hu Xiaofei smiled at Sito's jealousy, and then turned his head to look at Joseph's friend's group, who didn't know what bad ideas they had together.
"Those people must be discussing how to deal with us, if you want me to say, this kind of person should be killed early, otherwise he will always give us trouble behind his back."
Sito also noticed these people.
After Hu Xiaofei heard this, he smiled indifferently and said: "Just rely on them, they can't kill us with black guns, what else can they do, just treat it as if it's okay usually, let's have some fun!" ”
After the two finished speaking, they sat down in the box prepared for them by the auction house.
Then the auction outside, the main auctioneer was a bearded Western man, with a rough voice with a sharp voice, and he came up to introduce himself.
"Hello everyone, I'm the auctioneer of this time, Kenny, invited by the organizer to preside over this grand auction, let's not talk nonsense in the future, let's go straight to the topic, the auction starts now."
Kenny then introduced himself in several languages, no wonder this guy was invited to be an auctioneer, and here's why.
Hu Xiaofei and Si Tou were in a mist because the auctioneer was the only one who didn't introduce it in the Celestial Empire, so they didn't understand it at all.
"A weak country has no diplomacy, a weak country has no human rights, a weak country is weak, and even participating in an auction is looked down upon, which is really uncomfortable."
Hu Xiaofei looked at the auctioneer and scolded viciously.
Si Tou didn't have these concepts in his mind for the time being, and he only knew that Hu Xiaofei looked like he was angry.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the box, and the steward on the cruise ship brought Hu Xiaofei a Western woman in.
Then he enthusiastically introduced: "Hello, Mr. Hu, this is the translation we have prepared for you. ”
Hu Xiaofei is angry now, so he doesn't have a good impression of these Westerners, so he said viciously: "No need, take it away." ”
The steward hastened to apologize to him and explain why.
Hu Xiaofei calmed down at this time, something is wrong with this stewardship, there is also a problem with this translation, there must be something wrong between them, otherwise why does this guy keep wanting to keep this translation.
Do you want to spy on yourself?
Hu Xiaofei thought about it for a while, and probably knew the strategy of these guys.
I have to say that although these people don't have much strength, they play quite a lot of boards.
Since they still don't give up, then you're welcome.
The first piece in the collection was an oil painting, and Hu Xiaofei couldn't see what was good about this painting at all, so he lacked interest.
And the woman who is the translator should have put a lot of effort into this, gushing about the history of oil painting and how powerful the author is.
Hu Xiaofei and Si Tou were completely used to increase their knowledge, and they did not interrupt her introduction.
When the woman saw Hu Xiaofei and they didn't have a single mood swing from beginning to end, she knew that they didn't like the painting, and then closed her mouth and waited for the next auction item.
Next, this woman can be regarded as conscientious, basically most of the auction items, she has records, and Hu Xiaofei also found that her information seems to be written in a notebook.
Far away is reading from the book, and he still thinks that these are the woman's own opinions?
Seeing this, Hu Xiaofei also lost interest in this woman.
The auction continues, including some Western antiques that Hu Xiaofei stole from Xiao Dongying.
The officials of Xiao Dongying are also trying to establish diplomacy now, hoping that someone can support their war, so they also bought a lot of antique gems and other things that absorb the West.
I hope to be able to do what he likes and win some allies for my country.
However, his luck didn't seem to be very good, and he was stewed by Hu Xiaofei.
"The next treasure map, it is said to be the golden treasure map of the ancient country of Loulan, which is priceless, the starting price, 100,000 oceans, and each increase shall not be less than 1,000 oceans."
Hu Xiaofei finally became interested after seeing this map, the ancient country of Loulan has been circulating in the East for a long time.
However, it has not been confirmed whether they really exist.
I didn't expect to be able to see the treasure map of the ancient kingdom of Loulan this time.
However, whether this thing is real or fake, I am not sure for the time being.
The translator finally saw something that Hu Xiaofei was interested in, and hurriedly began to introduce the treasure map and the history of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
According to her, if the gold treasure in this treasure map is discovered, it is likely that it will become rich in an instant.
Because Loulan was rich in gold at that time, and was famous for gold, but later, for unknown reasons, the whole country disappeared overnight, as if it had never appeared, and this time these legends were left.
But in countries that have existed, there will always be something that can prove its existence.
This treasure map was circulated from the ancient kingdom of Loulan before Loulan disappeared.
It is also a basis for proving its existence, with some landforms of Loulan on it, as well as Loulan's kiss text.
Of course, these words have already been known to very few people, but the owner of this map happened to know a friend who claimed to be a descendant of Loulan, so he translated the text of this treasure map.
The value of this treasure map has skyrocketed as a result.
After Hu Xiaofei listened to the translator's words, he felt that this Loulan was very bizarre.
A huge country that disappeared without a trace overnight felt fake no matter how much it sounded like it was to be put aside.
But since he encountered the crossing himself, his ability to accept it is much stronger.
In this world, there are too many bizarre things, maybe the whole country has crossed over?
Maybe that's right, so he's still interested in this treasure map.
It's not for the gold, it's just for feeling and curiosity.
But it was a bit expensive, and he couldn't afford to spend that much money for that little curiosity.
Apparently the rich people are surprisingly in line with his ideas.
There were no bids at all for this lot, and it seems that it is going to be unsold.
At this moment, a guy wearing a black cloak who couldn't distinguish between men, women, and children at all raised the auction card in his hand and obtained this treasure map with 101,000 oceans.
After the man got the treasure map, he glanced at Hu Xiaofei's box, and then quickly left the auction hall.
The man glanced at Hu Xiaofei, and Hu Xiaofei also noticed that the person was different, this was a cultivator, and he was also a cultivator of the evil devil's crooked path.
Cultivation should have just broken through the realm of human teachers, and it is not very stable.
So in Hu Xiaofei's eyes, this person is a big light bulb, and it's hard to find it or not.
But at first, he didn't notice the existence of this person, as if he had suddenly appeared in the auction room.
Maybe this guy has some treasure to hide his aura, and at the same time, this treasure should also have the effect of sensing other cultivators.
Otherwise, with his cultivation, he shouldn't be able to find Hu Xiaofei and Si Tou.
But after he left, he suddenly stopped hiding it, and he glanced at himself, provoking himself.
It shouldn't be so boring, I just spent a lot of money to buy a treasure map, and instead of going to the treasure hunt quietly, I came to provoke myself to say that it was unreasonable.
Since it is not a provocation, through him buying a treasure map, I know that this guy probably wants to cooperate with Hu Xiaofei to hunt for treasures!
However, a person who has just broken through the human master has to find two cultivators in the middle stage of the master to cooperate, it seems that this guy should have something to rely on, or he is just a member of the treasure hunter organization, but they feel that their strength is not enough.
So I also want to invite some people to cooperate.
Hu Xiaofei thought a lot, and whispered his guess to Sito.
In the end, the two decided to check it out, but only after the auction was over.
Because there are still Hu Xiaofei's auction items that have not been sold, they are more concerned about the money they have gotten, whether it is Hu Xiaofei or Sito.
The translator was still encouraging Hu Xiaofei to auction something afterwards, saying that this would be in vain to participate in an auction.
But unfortunately, there is nothing here that Hu Xiaofei is particularly interested in.
There is only one golden unicorn, which was bought by others at a high price.
For gold, Hu Xiaofei has a different kind of obsession.
As long as this thing is in your hands, it will not depreciate for many years.
He also wants to live a long life after a few hundred years of age, and then live a luxurious and rich life in the new century, so he never has too much gold.
As for those foreign antiques, although they will appreciate a lot, he just doesn't like it, it's purely a personal hobby.
After the auction ended, the translator glanced at Hu Xiaofei resentfully, and then left.
Hu Xiaofei could see that her resentment was not small.
But even so, he smiled indifferently.
Those guys only know how to play some intrigues, he just needs to respond to all changes with the same, as for whether those people will fight with him in the end, Hu Xiaofei is most likely certain.
They won't.
The last incident should have had a certain psychological impact on them, so several of them should not have that courage.
After Hu Xiaofei walked out of the auction hall, a man in black walked over.
This person has a yin and evil aura all over his body, although ordinary people can't see this energy, but they are instinctive, and they will avoid this energy.
So the man walked all the way, and the crowd gave way.
When the man walked up to Hu Xiaofei, he left a note, and then left.
Didn't say a word from beginning to end.
After Hu Xiaofei opened the note, he saw the text on it.
It's written in the Celestial Empire, but it's a bit awkward to pronounce, indicating that the person who wrote these is not a Celestial Empire.
The one who bought the treasure map should be a foreign organization.
The information on the note is also very simple, to put it bluntly, it is an employment agreement.
I hope that through hiring, I can get Hu Xiaofei's help and find treasures together, and I will give a lot of money regardless of whether I get anything afterwards.
After Hu Xiaofei saw it, he remembered the places in the world above.
The note turned to ashes in his hand.
"It seems that we are busy in the future, do you want to go on an expedition together, by the way, to see if this ancient country of Loulan really exists, and also contact foreign cultivators to see what their specific strength is."
Hu Xiaofei said this sentence to Si Tou.
He is still relatively clear about Sito's temperament.
It was relatively quiet, if he hadn't come out this time, maybe Si Tou would have been able to stay in Yizhuang for the rest of his life.
Si Tou listened to Hu Xiaofei's words, looked at his eyes again, and then smiled indifferently: "Then go and have a look?" ”
After receiving Sito's answer, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then returned to the room.
At this time, on the cruise ship, in a very luxurious room, a group of people in black were sitting on a long table, discussing the matter of this treasure map.
The man sitting on the first seat pointed the treasure map with his hand and said: "According to historical documents and some information about our Dracula family, I can be sure of the authenticity of this treasure map, and this treasure is not only gold, but also has the authority to give us great power, so this plan must be carried out smoothly, don't care about those small money, you will get more when the time comes." ”
After deliberation, the black-robed people below also agreed to this plan.
And in the room where they were deliberating, a figure stood not far from them.
But none of them paid any attention to him, as if he had never existed.
It wasn't until they had finished their deliberations that the man disappeared without a trace.
In the middle of the night, Hu Xiaofei got up from the bed, which note was the agreed time.
Si Tou was still sleeping, but Hu Xiaofei didn't wake her up.
According to Sito's personality, she shouldn't like this kind of meeting.
After putting on his clothes, Hu Xiaofei came to the deck of the cruise ship.
At this time, the people on the deck had been emptied, and those who could come up were all cultivators.
But what Hu Xiaofei can't figure out is why these people are doing this on the cruise ship.
If you want to ask someone for help, wouldn't it be better to go on land?
Later, he found out that these people were all wearing black robes and masks, and none of them would show their true faces.
"It seems that this time I miscalculated, I didn't expect these people to be such chicken thieves, and no one notified me in advance."
However, he who has cultivated the true fire of Samadhi also has a way at this time.
Using mana, he condensed a mask directly with ground fire and placed it on his face.
For this kind of flame condensed with his own power, it will not cause him harm.
With this mask, Hu Xiaofei felt that he should be the most beautiful cub tonight.
Sure enough, after Hu Xiaofei appeared, those people gave way one after another, not because they were afraid of Hu Xiaofei's momentum.
It's that the temperature of the earth fire is a bit high, and after condensation and compression, the power is even more violent, so these people have avoided it.
lest there be an explosion that threatens your life.
And the messenger who wanted to see his joke was also gloomy at this time.
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to give Hu Xiaofei a dismount, but he didn't expect to let Hu Xiaofei pretend to be once.
This is not what he wanted.
And the winner of the treasure map, at this time, people sent Hu Xiaofei a mask and a black cloak.
He was also afraid that if Hu Xiaofei had an explosion, it would not be easy for him to gather people, and he didn't know how many people would stay.
After Hu Xiaofei got the mask and cloak, a smiling face appeared on the flame mask.
Then he said confidently: "Don't worry, I am the ancestor of playing with fire, these are all trivial." ”
When the people around him heard this, they moved away from him a little further.
