Chapter 88, the auction of trees in Shenmu Ridge
Special plants?
This Xu Zhige was interested, and quickly turned his head to look over.
At the foot of the mountain, on top of a huge truck, there are several big trees, roughly visually, the smallest one also needs three people to hug it, the camel beast pulling the cart looks like a horse, but it is hundreds of times larger than a horse, just a horse's hooves are more than ten meters long, and there is a layer of white mane above the neck, and there are two hairs like dragon whiskers on the top of the head.
"This is a mountain manhole! It is said to be the mount of the mountain god, and it seems that some scholars say that it has the bloodline of the legendary phantom beast in the pioneer land, the unicorn. The uncle introduced: "But its temperament is very docile, and it often helps the people down the mountain to pull carts, so it is an important partner for us here." ”
"Little brother, halfway up the mountain, you walk directly over there, yes, just follow the flow of people, that is the entrance there, if you want to visit, a ticket only needs one silver." Good luck. The uncle took off his hat and left with a smile.
After handing over the money, Xu Zhige walked into an open-air venue.
It's said to be an auction here, but it's actually more like a tea party, at least the people here seem to be quite relaxed, there is no tense atmosphere like other auctions, a few middle-aged men are still drinking tea and chatting on the side, and the atmosphere seems to be very harmonious.
Boom!
The sound of a gong sounded, and everyone's attention suddenly returned to the stage.
"Hello everyone!" a stocky mustache stood on the stage, "Well, I saw a lot of familiar faces, and a lot of new faces, but no matter what kind of face it is, I believe that everyone is here for one purpose, and that is to buy wood!"
"Without further ado, let's get started right away!"
The mustache clapped his hands, and immediately someone pushed out a small light and shadow stone from the backstage.
"As is customary, we will introduce the product first, first of all!" The mustache snapped his fingers, and the Light and Shadow Stone immediately cast an image of a large tree.
"No. 1035, cultivated by the new cultivator Tie Ping, Panshi mulberry bud, stable as Mount Tai!
As soon as he finished speaking, he bid directly, and everyone at the scene did not have any discomfort, it seemed that they were all veterans, but Xu Zhige was the only one who sat there and looked left and right, a little overwhelmed.
"New here?"
A young man with a face cover, a hoarse voice, and a thin figure suddenly sat down next to Xu Zhige's seat, and said a sentence very familiarly.
"You ......"
Xu Zhige glanced up and down at this familiar young man.
Covered with a face cloth, he couldn't see anything clearly, he was not tall or short, his physique was thin, and he didn't look like a rich man on his body, only judging from the skin he exposed, this should be a young man.
"Ha, don't care who I am, I just wanted to remind you that shaking your head here is a very rude act, and if you meet some bad-tempered buyers, you can get into trouble. The young man naturally crossed Erlang's legs and pointed to the top, "If you are a newcomer with little experience, then this field may be too high for you, but this place is different from ordinary tree stores, and there are not many skilled craftsmen gathered here!"
"What's that?" Unconsciously, Xu Zhige was already attracted by the other party's topic, and even his attention was taken away by him.
"Hehe, they're all gamblers!" the young man said with a slightly sly smile, "The people who come here are second-tier dealers who want to buy strange plants at a low price and sell them at a good price, but real technicians rarely come to such a place." ”
"So...... Are you?"
"Hehe, just like them! but for the purpose...... Hehe, I won't tell you!"
This answer was a bit girly, and it almost gave Xu Zhige goosebumps. At that moment, he didn't talk back, just drank water silently, sat dry, and watched the people next to him bidding in the dark, but he felt a little bored, and the young man next to him didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, so he waited. This made Xu Zhige a little suspicious, what was the other party's purpose?
"Haha, don't worry about me, look at the top, there's something fun coming up there. The young man pointed to the top and said with a smile: "Cultivator Huarong! This guy is very famous in the black market." ”
Famous?
Xu Zhige looked up, and his heart suddenly jumped, what the hell is this?
On the stage, it was not a strange flower, but a slender beauty, twenty-eight years old, young and pretty, with a thin veil on her body, looming, at first glance, it was a sultry and seductive goblin.
"What does this mean? selling dog meat on the head of a sheep? selling trees on the surface, but actually selling people?" Xu Zhige frowned, his tone a little cold.
"Poof!" the young man couldn't hold back and accidentally laughed, "Take a closer look!"
"No. 1024! Famous cultivator Hua Rong's latest masterpiece! Yaolin Yushu! Born with an illusion stance, it has a 50% increase in the illusion inscription of the charm system! Tree name, poppy beauty! The reserve price must not be less than 100 gold! Now, the auction begins!"
Illusion Tree? Which genius cultivated this? At first glance, he was still a beauty, but when he came back to his senses and looked closely, he turned into a tree with a slender body! This tree is really demonic! And the cultivator who cultivated it is definitely a talent!
"Hua Rong is a famous cultivator in the black market, and what he is best at is the illusion series of trees, so to speak, in this aspect, he is already a person who has entered the house, and his works are priceless on the black market, and it is very rare to be able to see here this time, you see that these second-class dealers are so crazy, because they know that Hua Rong's works are definitely not worried about not being able to sell at a good price!"
In the end, the poppy was bought by a middle-aged fat man at a super price of 3,000 gold, but he himself had an expression of picking up the leak, which shows that the value of the item still has different standards for different people.
"Okay! Everyone! Today's auction is coming to an end, but those who know us well know that we still have one last pastime and entertainment link! Yes, it's the betting and guessing session!" The mustache snapped his fingers, and this time it was no longer a light and shadow stone, but a real tree was pushed to the stage!
"This one...... Name unknown!" The mustache's voice was a little low, and when he explained, he subconsciously kept his distance from the tree, "It's not bred by some famous cultivator, it's not an ancient tree, and we don't even know what kind of tree it is......!"
The mustache paused and then continued: "This is not an ordinary tree! First of all, its material! To say that it is invulnerable is to belittle it, we have done experiments, and we can't leave a trace on its surface with a heavy axe, it is a veritable gold and iron invulnerable!" After praising the merits, the mustache smiled a little embarrassedly: "Because of this, it ...... We don't even know what to do with it!"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, some people believed it, some people doubted it, and all kinds of whispers made the quiet venue suddenly become a little noisy. And Xu Zhige was skeptical, he really didn't know much about trees, and this was the first time he came, so it was hard to believe that there would be such a strange tree.
According to the research and investigation of several cultivators we have found, it has been found that this tree can have an effect on people invisibly, and the longer different people approach it, the more susceptible it becomes. And according to the mage we invited from the Holy Continent, this tree is alive!"
Trees have life, it sounds like a nonsense, even a three-year-old child knows that plants have life, and the mustache on the stage will definitely not talk nonsense to fool people.
Sure enough, Xu Zhige's idea was correct, because the mustache immediately added: "Life! That's right! It's not that breathing is life, but just like us human beings! There are thoughts! There is consciousness! In the words of the mage of the Holy Continent, this is a human in the form of a tree!"
"And its thoughts......" said the mustache, as if with great courage, "is very evil!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, a tree with evil thoughts, and it would affect the people who were close to him, this ...... Isn't it too dangerous?
"Why don't you dispose of such things sooner?" asked a second-order dealer, standing up.
The mustache smiled bitterly, "Why? In addition to its invulnerability, the bigger reason is that it is so rare! It can be said that it is the only one in the world today! Several cultivators have asserted that there must be a big secret hidden in this tree, and they are reluctant to destroy it!"
"So you want to take it out and sell it?"
The mustache shook his head, "It's not for sale!" but ...... I hope to use your strength! to uncover the secret of this lonely tree! and what you can get...... Guaranteed to make you satisfied!"
As soon as the words "......" came out, everyone was suddenly a little moved. Could it be a simple force that can auction timber in Shenmuling? And the return that such a force can make is indeed enough to satisfy most people. At this moment, many people began to think about how to operate this matter in their hearts.
And at this time, the young man who had always maintained an attitude of watching the play finally couldn't calm down, and in Xu Zhige's stunned gaze, he stood up, "I know what this thing is!"
