After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Du Chen nodded again and again, "If that's the case, it's better to end the business as soon as possible and make a living elsewhere. ”

"This son's words are clear, so the old man also plans to leave here as soon as possible and go to other places to beg for a living, but there are too many things here, so pack up and bring them over. ”

Twilight was chatting with the shopkeeper while the others moved away from the shop. Most of the things here were strange things, which aroused everyone's curiosity, and in the end, Chu Yan found a few dusty jade slips in an extremely inconspicuous corner.

The so-called jade slip is actually a small long board made of jade, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a triangle at the top, just like the tip of a sword, but not so sharp.

Chu Yan looked at the few pieces of jade slips in his hand, and found that the jade had turned yellow, it looked like it was some years old, there seemed to be words on it, and there were some patterns on the back.

It's just that the jade slip is very badly worn, and the surface is covered with a layer of greasy and greasy things, and I wiped it with my hands, but I still can't see it really, but Chu Yan is curious, and plans to buy this thing, go back and clean it up, and see what is engraved on it.

Looking at the jade slips, the shopkeeper thought about it for a long time, and he didn't remember when he received this thing, if it wasn't found out by Chu Yan today, I'm afraid he wouldn't know that he still had such an object.

It's just that the jade used to make the jade slip is an ordinary commodity color, not valuable, and the surface is also very seriously worn, and it is dirty, so he only received two silver coins and sold the jade slip to Chu Yan.

Subsequently, Liu Tiehammer and others also picked a few things, and the shopkeeper only took a cursory glance and symbolically collected some money, it seems that he also wants to leave here as soon as possible, and he is not willing to delay for a while.

After leaving the shop, the seven brothers bought a lot of things, mostly meat and jerky, and were about to leave, when they heard a small talk between the two on the street.

Although Chu Yan and the others heard it once, they heard it very clearly, probably saying that tomorrow, the Four Seas Auction House in Cloud City would hold an auction, and most of them were rare treasures.

At this moment, all seven brothers have moved, and they all want to join in the fun, open their eyes, and see what good things those rare treasures are.

"Old Seventh ......" At the instigation of the brothers, Duchen said: "There seem to be a lot of good things in the Nine Heavens Continent, why don't we go back today, stay overnight, go to the Four Seas Auction House tomorrow, open our eyes by the way, and go back when it's over." ”

"Yes, I'm here anyway, it's a shame not to take a look. ”

Twilight hurriedly agreed, and the others nodded their heads again and again, eager to try.

"Okay, it's okay to go back anyway, just go around. ”

In fact, Chu Yan was also very curious about these rare treasures, so the seven brothers had a big meal again, and then found an inn to settle down.

The guy was very talkative, and while tidying up the room, he said, "Looking at a few sons, they must be coming for tomorrow's auction, right?"

"Oh...... Your kid's eyesight is good, and you can see at a glance that the fat man came from afar. ”

Seeing someone stubble, the man's words also increased, "It's nothing, the auction of the Four Seas Auction House can attract many people every time, just like the nearby Yunding Peak, the Imperial Fire Sect, the Divine Sword Sect, these powerful sects, and the people of the big families in the nearby towns, anyway, every time there is an auction, all the inns in the city will be full, and the luck of the few of you is not bad, this is already the last suite." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yan walked over and wanted to find out about these sects near Cloud City by the way, as well as the details of the auction house in the Four Seas, so he took out a few gold coins and stuffed them into the hands of the guys.

"Little Second Brother, this Divine Sword Gate, Yunding Peak, Wuji Gate, which of them is more powerful?"

Seeing that the gold coins in his hand were enough for half a year's salary, the guy was stunned at first, and then said with a smile on his face: "The strength of these three families is very close, and no one has an absolute advantage, but everyone's faction is different." ”

In fact, Cloud City, an incomparably large and prosperous town, has a very special geographical location.

From the perspective of the entire Nine Heavens Continent, it can be roughly divided into two forces. Counting from Cloud City, the north is the Gu family's sphere of influence, and the south is the territory of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, the two sides have deep grievances, no one obeys anyone, there has been no war for so many years, but the strength of the two sides is very close, so no one has been able to do anything to whom, so it has been a stalemate.

And Cloud City is located in the middle of the two major forces, like a link, linking the north and the south, so it is also relatively chaotic here, and people on both sides want to step in, but no one has been able to do so for so many years.

As he spoke, the guy stopped, looked at Chu Yan and the others who were around him, listened very carefully, and was very satisfied in his heart, thought about it, and continued, "Just like that Yunding Peak, they are the people of the Murong family of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, while the Divine Sword Sect and the Imperial Fire Sect are in the same group as the Gu family. ”

"Since they have different factions, they usually don't have to pinch to death?"

Hearing Liu Tiezhu's question, the guy actually smiled, "This uncle, you don't know something, although the three factions are different, but to put it bluntly, it is just a contradiction between the Gu family and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and there are more forces attached to both sides, can you really fight when you meet." ”

"In fact, in private, the relationship between the three families of Yunding Peak is still very good, everyone understands people, there is no need to make it for the sake of other people's contradictions, you have to make it life and death, the most important thing is gold coins, there are gold coins to earn, who cares so much." ”

The guy's words really benefited the seven brothers a lot, and they couldn't stop nodding their heads again and again.

Early the next morning, the seven brothers had dinner, left the inn, and went straight to the Four Seas Auction House. This is the iconic building of Cloud City, located in the very center of the city. Although it is only three floors, it is carved beams and paintings, and it is resplendent and indescribably luxurious.

The origin of the Four Seas Auction House is not small, but few people know who the boss behind the scenes is, only the people of the Gu family and the people of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion all give the Four Seas Auction House a few thin faces.

Therefore, those who buy treasures from here do not have to worry about being robbed by other forces, at least there is absolutely no problem on the way home, even if you are a beggar in the city, you are guaranteed to be able to return to the place where you beg for a living.

And for so many years, no one has ever dared to do anything in the auction house, even if there is a dispute, everyone will wait until they leave before doing it, which is also a rule of the auction house in the four seas.

Legend has it that many years ago, there were really a few stunned young people who had a dispute over a thing, and then fought in the auction house.

As a result, the people on both sides didn't even go out of Yuncheng, so they were strewn on the streets, and in the end, the matter was over.

At the door of the auction house, there were two people dressed as attendants, bringing the people who came to participate in the auction into the hall, and when they saw Chu Yan's seven people dressed brightly and with extraordinary bearing, one of them hurriedly greeted them, "Dare to ask all the sons, but there is an invitation?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then saw Duchen walk out, "What, can't you participate in the auction without an invitation?"

"Don't misunderstand, sons, without an invitation, each person must pay a hundred gold coins, otherwise you can't go in. ”

"What...... Want a handful of gold coins, and since you like gold so much, you might as well rob them. "Twilight has always been picky, and when he heard that seven people wanted seven hundred gold coins, he rolled his eyes in anger.

Seeing this, another person walked over and said with a cold face: "This son, please respect yourself, this is the Four Seas Auction House, not a street shop, so leave as soon as possible if you don't have gold coins." ”

"Who the hell are you talking to, and you don't go out to inquire, when did the fat man miss the gold coin, you dogs look at people ......"

Without waiting for the goods to finish, he was grabbed and dragged back by Chu Yan, and then smiled, "Don't be surprised, I have ten diamonds here, and the rest please drink the rest." ”

"It's still this son's refreshment, please inside. ”

After winning three hundred gold coins, both of them looked very happy, and hurriedly led Chu Yan and the others to the hall on the first floor, and chose a good position before turning around and leaving.

At this time, the hall on the first floor was full, and the second floor should be a row of private rooms, distributed around, in front of each room, there is a crystal polished like glass, but it is clearer and more transparent than glass, and you can see everything outside.

These private rooms are supposed to be for those who have an invitation letter......

Chu Yan muttered secretly, and sure enough, those who took out the invitation letter at the door went to the private room on the second floor one after another, but Chu Yan didn't expect to see Gu Xiulan's figure.

The auctioneer, a middle-aged man in his early forties, immediately fell silent as he walked up to the auction stand.

Seeing this, the auctioneer nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Today, the auction house of the four seas will auction a total of five artifacts, although it is not much, but it can be guaranteed that each one is a masterpiece, here, I wish everyone can return satisfied, buy their favorite items, okay......"

The auctioneer paused, then looked around, "Let's stop talking nonsense, let's ask for the first item now." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a middle-aged woman dressed in charming clothes, wearing simple clothes, holding a tray in her hand, covered with a red cloth, twisting her waist, and came to the auctioneer's side step by step, put the tray on the auction table, and then walked down again.

Seeing such a natural stunner, many people in the hall swallowed their saliva, and a few of them were bold enough to whistle and coax, and the same was true for Dusk Chen, whose eyes were as wide as copper bells, and kept looking at the middle-aged woman.

"If anyone has a fancy to the assistant below, the price can be studied......

As he spoke, the auctioneer slowly ripped off the red cloth on the tray, "Now we're going to auction the first item." (To be continued.) )
