Chapter 67: The Underground Auction House (Part II)
The underground auction hall should be said to be a luxurious place hidden under a desolation, with a space of nearly 100 square meters, resplendent gold, Persian carpets all over the floor, light blue theater-style sofas arranged in nearly ten rows, and huge crystal lamps illuminating the place. Five meters in front of the sofa is a stage with a huge electronic display on it, constantly scrolling with items to be auctioned tonight.
When Li Changkong and Liu Qingqing appeared in the auction hall, they attracted the attention of those who had already come first, although the combination of handsome guys and beauties was very eye-catching, but such a temperamental combination still made everyone's gaze hidden behind the sunglasses stay for a while.
After the short fat man handed a hand marked "17" to Li Changkong, he went to work on other things.
Li Changkong also knows this kind of place, he doesn't need to say anything, he just needs to take a fancy to it, but his motive for coming is not to buy it, but to absorb the free treasure, don't want it in vain.
chose a position near the corner to sit down, and taking advantage of the gap before the start of shooting, Liu Qingqing suddenly asked, "Li Changkong, why are you interested in these things?" ”
"Recently, I made a small fortune, and I heard that Shengshi collects and invests in antiques is a good choice, so I also come in to play", Li Changkong said with a haha, of course, this is the most real purpose of course it is impossible to tell Liu Qingqing, he is not a loudspeaker, the kind that is preached all over the world.
"Phew, no wonder it will take the bait for a fool like you, there are more fakes here than the real thing, and I don't know why the big shopkeeper is so enthusiastic to help you get in touch, it's strange!" , Liu Qingqing said suspiciously, looking Li Changkong up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes, as if he wanted to see through Li Changkong.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm just playing, maybe I won't make a move", Li Changkong squinted his eyes and smiled, just kidding, no one is better than me tonight, I am carrying a cheating tool, whether it is true or not, pull it out and walk it and show up immediately.
"Really?", Liu Qingqing obviously didn't believe it.
"Really!" , Li Changkong said with a smile.
"Li Changkong, you lied too poorly", Liu Qingqing said with a smile.
"Come on, I'll buy it later, buy a bunch of fakes and go back, you're satisfied, I'll be a mallet", Li Changkong wondered, is this girl cheating me?
"Li Changkong, I finally understand what status I have in your heart, I'm just a fool, the kind that can be fooled by casually arranging a set of words", Liu Qing said quietly, full of grievances.
"What's wrong with you? It's just an auction, do I have to lie to you? Li Changkong said, did this girl really find out or is she cheating me?
"Dead liar, put your stupid head on me, you won't squint when you tell the truth, but once you tell a lie, your eyes will squint slightly, and your fingers will unconsciously hit Xiao Jiujiu, do you still want to deny it?" , Liu Qingqing sneered.
"Ahh , Li Changkong was shocked, looked at his hands, and found that the two hands were crossed, and the thumb was playing Xiao Jiujiu there, and the habit of squinting was indeed the same, this woman was so powerful, she could see everything clearly, what should I do?
"Tell me, what the hell are you here for? Let me guess? Liu Qingqing was very satisfied with Li Changkong's reaction, and confirmed his judgment even more.
"Can you guess?"
"Then I said, it should have something to do with your cultivation, I have been to the attic twice and have not found any trace of you, then there is only one situation, you are in the secret room of the big shopkeeper, there are porcelain, and they are all real porcelain, it should be a place where these things need to be used", Liu Qingqing said proudly, today finally suppressed this Li Changkong.
"This reason is too far-fetched, I usually don't go out through the main door, you know that I am a cultivator, I can fly the eaves and walk the wall", Li Changkong was still quibbling.
"Haha, it's because you're a cultivator, so this is the biggest flaw, you can go from a sick look to the way you are now in ten days? What else can be done besides cultivation? Eating ginseng? Or eat deer antler velvet? Liu Qingqing said very domineeringly.
"...", Li Changkong's black line in his head, it turns out that Liu Qingqing is the one who has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, I thought that I could bully and play pranks from time to time, it turns out that this head is shrewd, and he can always peel off the cocoon and analyze it little by little, terrifying, really terrifying.
"Silence is even recognition, I won, haha, I still have a secret that I haven't told you", Liu Qingqing laughed happily.
"What?" , Li Changkong said strangely.
"Actually, my favorite thing to watch is the Taiwanese variety show "I Guess I Guess I Guess", and every time I guess it"
...", Li Changkong was completely speechless.
"Okay, if you don't say it, I won't ask, Li Changkong, if you bully me again in the future, I'll reveal your secret, hehe", Liu Qingqing said very evilly, with the taste of turning over a serf and singing, that one is glorious, that one is majestic, and that one is high-spirited.
"You threaten me?" , Li Changkong said angrily.
"Uh-huh!" , Liu Qingqing nodded.
“…”
Planted tonight, completely planted, Li Changkong was extremely depressed and simply closed his eyes and stopped talking, leaned on the backrest, and closed his eyes to recuperate. And Liu Qingqing on the side was so comfortable, he kept covering his mouth and being happy on the side, happy, it was so happy.
Five minutes later, there were about forty people sitting in the basement, and the organizers saw that it was almost over, so they started the auction tonight.
With a "bang", the iron gate at the exit was completely closed, and two bodyguards with big shoulders and round waists guarded the door.
The impassioned music sounded, and the short fat man who had just picked up Li Changkong walked to the center of the stage and bowed and saluted.
"Thank you very much for participating in tonight's auction, I am the person in charge of tonight Lan Bing", the short fat man Lan Bing smiled brightly: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go directly to the guys, please look at the electronic screen, the first item tonight comes from the Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain lotus bowl salvaged in the South China Sea, there are some traces of erosion by the sea, this bowl is 5.1cm high, diameter: 16.8cm." There is a lotus-like pattern printed inside, the starting price is 10,000, 2,000 increases, interested friends can come and see"
With the display of the electronic screen, the relevant staff walked to the center of the stage with a plate, and the blue and white porcelain bowl was placed in the center.
However, Liu Qingqing was very curious, Li Changkong, who was sitting next to her, did not move, she asked, "Are you not interested in going and seeing?" ”
"No, it's fake", Li Changkong put his hands on the pillow and said directly, anyway, Liu Qingqing had already guessed that it was just to save trouble, just go and suck the treasure of the real guy.
In other words, those porcelain in the shipwreck in the South China Sea are really so easy to salvage? Even if it is salvaged and comes out, it is thousands or even tens of thousands, how can it only reveal such a one? This is a little common sense, but unfortunately many of the people present are rich people with thousands of pockets, and they have nothing to do to learn to dress and understand pedestrians, so that these auction companies can take advantage of it, anyway, the receipts he will open at that time will be opened according to tourist souvenirs, and the truth is not responsible.
In the end, this bowl was auctioned away by a fat man who grew rich at a high price of 50,000 yuan, and then several things came out one after another, but under Li Changkong's perception, all of them were fakes without exception, which couldn't help but make Li Changkong a little disappointed, is there not a real thing in it?
At this time, the blue fat man shouted out again, "The penultimate item tonight, a Buddhist scripture from Tibetan Buddhist Tantra "The Great Nikjing", interested friends can come and have a look."
The melodious music sounded, and as soon as this scripture came out, Li Changkong felt a strong call, and he was full of joy, this time it was genuine.
