Chapter 265: Sea Auction
Zhou Shen was excited for a while, and then looked at the exercises and skills below.
Not to mention other exercises, the [Bigu Eating Qi Method] is a magical exercise, which does not need to be deliberately practiced after entry, it is to improve proficiency by converting Qi into the energy required by the body.
For example, the reason why a Nepalese dervishes needs to practice hard is that the Qi in his body is not enough to convert into the energy required by the body, so he has to absorb the thin free energy between heaven and earth through cultivation.
Zhou Shen felt the Qi in the cell, compared to last night, the Qi returned to about 90%, an increase of ten percent.
However, he knew that the increased Qi was not completely absorbed from the free energy between heaven and earth, but also included the food energy that he had not had time to digest and absorb after eating last night.
After waking up, it is customary to come to the bathroom to clean up personal hygiene.
In fact, his skin pores do not secrete oil, there are no dirty things in the pores, the corners of the eyes do not secrete tear gland impurities, and he does not need to cleanse his face at all, including the mouth, even if he does not brush his teeth, there is no smell, and his teeth are white and flawless, but some habits cannot be lost for a while.
After a brief cleaning of personal hygiene, I came out with the weighing electronic scale exposed and stood up.
After jumping for a while, the number on it slowly froze at 105.2kg.
"Naked weight 105kg? I rub, am I so heavy now? Zhou Shen looked at the numbers on the electronic scale and was a little incredulous, "I weighed last time...... Hey, it seems that the last time was three months ago, at that time it was about 95kg, and it rose by 10kg in three months, which is okay. ”
Then he looked at the mirror again, and then muttered: "The figure doesn't seem to have changed much compared to before, except for a pair of thigh muscles, which are full of infinite explosive power as always, and the muscle contours of the upper body have not become larger, I don't know where the 10 kilograms of meat have grown?" Is it bone density? ”
"I've seen relevant research reports before, saying that the higher the bone density, the greater the weight, but the muscle is not gaining, and my bone density is about to catch up with light steel, right? It's normal to be a little heavier. ”
Zhou Shen made a few toning movements in front of the mirror, then returned to the bedroom with a grin, put on the special clothes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and went out after carrying the same special backpack. No underwear.
Of course, no shoes were worn.
If people can get rid of those tedious things in life, it is actually very cool, such as not wearing underwear to hang in the neutral gear, but many people are not used to it, and lesbians always have a few days a month that are inconvenient.
In addition, it is actually very cool to walk barefoot on the ground barefoot and in close contact with nature, but the average person's feet can't stand the hard road surface at all, and there are often small stones and sharp objects on the road, which are easy to be punctured.
Zhou Shen went downstairs to practice [Double Dragon Ball Skill] in the back garden of the hotel.
At this moment, two old grandfathers with white hair came over, and one of them was Liu Yulin.
Liu Yulin went downstairs for a walk with his friends after breakfast, but he didn't expect to meet Zhou Shen boxing here.
The old man next to Liu Yulin had very poisonous eyes, recognized Zhou Shen at a glance, and said with some surprise: "He is ......"
Liu Yulin immediately reached out and grabbed his friend and motioned to his friend not to speak.
After Zhou Shen finished punching, Liu Yulin and the two stepped forward.
"Teacher Zhou, good morning!"
"Well, good morning, old man!"
"Teacher Zhou, let me introduce you, this is Tang Guoxiang, a well-known saint of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai, and there are countless living people."
"Hehe, Lao Liu, don't put gold on my face, what kind of Chinese medicine holy hand, you will be laughed at when you say it, just an old Chinese medicine doctor with a little experience."
"Haha, I'm sorry for the old soup......"
After an introduction, Tang Guoxiang was very curious to ask Zhou Shen about the knowledge of "Qi".
When he touched the Qi in Zhou Shen's palm with his own hands, his eyes were about to pop out, and his expression was so surprised and surprised.
You must know that Tang Guoxiang usually treats the big leaders, in ancient times, he was a "imperial doctor", his status was very respectful, and the people he usually came into contact with were all big people, so he could do it without changing his color when Mount Tai collapsed in front.
However, it is such a character, and he is so shocked at this time, you can imagine how unbelievable his heart is.
In the final analysis, it is too subversive of the three views.
Don't look at Tang Guoxiang as a staunch supporter of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and also firmly believe that the Qi blood and Tibetan elephant system and the twelve meridians in the human body are also correct, but he never thought about it, nor did he dare to imagine that he would be able to touch Qi with his own hands one day.
Therefore, the excitement and excitement in the heart are simply not enough to describe in words.
Chaowen said, dying at night, is probably a true portrayal of Tang Guoxiang's heart at this time.
After Tang Guoxiang was excited, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liu Yulin hurriedly patted him on the back and comforted: "Old Tang, don't get excited, don't get excited...... The body is important, and you must not be happy or sad. ”
"Well, I know......" Tang Guoxiang wiped the tears from his cheeks with his hand, but the tears couldn't stop flowing, crying and laughing: "I am ...... I'm so happy and sad. ”
Zhou Shen smiled: "I understand your feelings, just like the inheritance of Huaguo Guoshu has been broken, and as a result, in modern times, it is called dance, the dance of dance, that kind of sadness and powerlessness, and then the mood of seeing the hope of the revival of Guoshu." ”
"Yes, yes, what Mr. Zhou said is so right......"
Then Tang Guoxiang asked a lot more questions, until Dai Qian came down after breakfast.
Liu Yulin asked, "Teacher Zhou, do you want to go to the exchange meeting to sit?" ”
Zhou Shen smiled: "I won't go!" ”
"And where are you going next?"
"I'm going to go to Kyoto to do some things first, and then go to the northeast to look at the snow, and experience what it's like to beat a roe deer and scoop fish?"
"Haha, that's fine! By the way, Mr. Zhou, didn't you say that you wanted to dispense medicine last night, it just so happened that Lao Tang's family opened a Chinese medicine store, so let him help you dispense some. ”
"Okay, let's go......"
The Peiyuan pills he had accompanied before had all been eaten up in Europe, so he planned to take a little with him to be prepared.
After all, he often runs around, and the courier is not convenient to mail the spiritual liquid, as for the spiritual object, this kind of thing is rare but not sought, and the probability of encountering it on the cultivation road is relatively low.
Tang Guoxiang's Hui'an Hall is in the alley of an old city, the two-story store is not big or small, the top and bottom add up to 145 square meters, it can be seen that the furnishings in the store are some years old, the porch, counter, medicine cabinet shelves these look old antique level.
There is a pair of lineage couplets hanging on the left and right at the door: [I hope that people in the world are free of disease, and I would rather put medicine on the shelf to produce dust]
There were many customers who came to the store to grab medicine, and there was a long queue, most of them were some elderly people.
Seeing Tang Guoxiang coming, some people who knew him greeted him one after another.
It was the first time that Zhou Shen saw a queue to buy medicine in a Chinese medicine store.
Liu Yulin explained to Zhou Shen in a whisper: "Don't look at the pharmacy's business is very good, but it doesn't make money, the medicine in it is basically sold at cost price, which is just enough to open the doctor's salary in the store. If it weren't for the fact that the house was an ancestral house, I wouldn't even be able to pay the rent. ”
Hearing Liu Yulin's words, Zhou Shen was suddenly in awe.
Such an old man with superb medical skills and excellent moral character is worthy of his admiration.
After going upstairs and facing Zhou Shen's praise, Tang Guoxiang laughed and said: "Don't listen to Lao Liu's praise, it's not that great." I have a salary, and the consultation fee is also very high, and the miscellaneous salary of a month adds up to 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, which is not enough to spend. ”
Zhou Shen smiled and said: "When you look back, you must learn the secret of longevity from me, people like Tang Lao, you should live a long life, not only for yourself, but also for more ordinary people." ”
"Of course you have to learn! You can't teach me, I'm really curious about this Qi......"
After chatting for a while, someone soon sent Tang Guoxiang the medicinal materials needed for Peiyuan Pill.
Zhou Shen checked it and found that the quality of these medicinal materials was very good, and the medicinal materials were very fresh.
Zhou Shen then asked about the price, and was immediately surprised, the price was ultra-low, even lower than the origin price he had learned before.
Tang Guoxiang showed a sly smile and said: "Some big herb dealers, they have to send them to big hospitals regularly, and I know the director of the Health Bureau. ”
Zhou Shen instantly understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing.
This old soup is not only a good person, but also a good person who knows how to use the unspoken rules of society, not pedantic, such a good person can benefit the people more.
Then Lao Tang asked people to make the medicinal materials into pills according to Zhou Shen's requirements, a total of 100 copies.
During this period, Zhou Shen, Liu Yulin and Tang Guoxiang drank tea and chatted in the teahouse next door.
The machine makes the pills very quickly, and it takes less than two hours to make and dry, and then pack them and put them in a vacuum bag.
After Zhou Shen paid the money, he said with a smile: "Then thank you Tang Lao, I'll go first and bother another day." ”
Tang Guoxiang said: "Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of one thing just now, you said you want top-grade medicinal materials, right, I heard that there is an auction, and there are often some heavenly treasures on it,"
The characters Tang Guoxiang usually comes into contact with are either rich or expensive, and he can hear a lot of gossip that is difficult for ordinary people to access.
And Zhou Shen just said casually when chatting before, top-grade medicinal materials do not mean that they are spiritual objects, but it is rare for Tang Guoxiang to say, so he asked casually: "Where is that auction?" ”
Tang Guoxiang said: "It is said that it is above the high sea. Would you like to go over and have a look? If you want to go, I'll call you and ask for a spot. Their auction is quite mysterious, and you have to introduce someone to go up. ”
"Okay, then it's troublesome for Old Tang."
"Kind ......"
Tang Guoxiang made a phone call and soon got a number.
"You wait and call and they'll take you there."
"Okay, then I'll go over and take a look."
……
Zhou Shen originally planned to buy a plane ticket to Kyoto, but was aroused by Tang Guoxiang's words and wanted to see this mysterious auction.
Anyway, he plays everywhere he goes, and now in addition to practicing martial arts, he is wandering all over the world.
He dialed the phone number given by Tang Guoxiang, and it was quickly connected.
After checking some information, they quickly gave him an address and allowed him to go alone.
"Then you're in the hotel." Zhou Shen said to Daisy.
Daisy nodded sensibly and said, "Good teacher! Be careful. ”
Dai Qian knew that her teacher was very powerful and could fight many of them at a time, but she had been in Europe for so long, and she knew that no matter how high her martial arts were, she was afraid of kitchen knives, and her fragile flesh and blood body was not to worry about in front of guns.
"Well, I know! Rest assured. ”
Zhou Shen saw the worry in Dai Qian's eyes, and he didn't explain too much, and turned to leave.
He ran all the way to Pudong on the other side of the river, all the way to Century Park, and waited for a while at the bus stop on the south side of the park, and then a black Rolls-Royce Gust stopped in front of him.
The rear door opened, and the woman sitting inside in a short professional dress smiled, "Mr. Zhou, please get in the car." ”
Zhou Shen stepped into the car.
The woman in the car was also startled, the driver in front closed the door, and the cold wind howling on the road and the noise of pedestrians and cars were instantly locked out.
There was silence in the car along the way, and the woman sitting next to her seemed to be just a greeting, except for a sentence at the beginning, she didn't speak again the whole time.
The car went all the way to the sea, and then Zhou Shen got out of the car, and then changed into a speedboat and drove all the way to the high seas in the southeast.
Although there is no wind today, the weather is also very good, and the sun is shining, but the weather is relatively cold, minus four or five degrees, and there are no yachts and cruise ships on the sea except for cargo ships.
The speedboat drove for about half an hour, and a large cruise ship appeared on the sea in front of it, quietly moored on the sea.
At this time, the sun shines on the sea and the cruise ship, and it looks sparkling, like the scales of a sea fish.
After getting on the boat, a middle-aged man in a suit and bow tie walked over and said very respectfully: "Hello Mr. Zhou, my name is Pete, welcome to the Xinghai cruise." ”
Zhou Shen nodded and asked straight to the point: "When will the auction start?" ”
The middle-aged man named Pete smiled and said: "The auction will be until eight o'clock in the evening, there are still 6 hours before the auction starts, you can rest on the ship first, there are casinos, game halls, dance halls, bars, shopping malls, saunas on the Xinghai cruise ship." ”
"Okay, I know......" Zhou Shen was a little disappointed when he heard Pete's words, "It seems that this so-called auction is most likely just an embellishment, and the cruise ship mainly relies on eating, drinking, and having fun to make money, rather than an auction." ”
But what comes is safe.
He was walking around the ship.
With the steady increase in the remaining lifespan, coupled with the fact that Kung Fu has also been cultivated to a certain level, now if he wants to continue to rise, he needs more "enlightenment", so he is no longer as eager as he just cultivated, and it is a bit of a "game world" meaning.
When he saw the foot bath hall, he went in to soak his feet, but unfortunately the technician's strength to eat milk was used up, and his big feet still didn't feel anything.
"It seems that I won't have anything to do with washing my feet in the future."
Zhou Shen thought to himself, after paying the cash, he left the foot bath, turned around and entered the music bar, he went in and had a drink of two glasses, and heard that the singer had a good voice, so he beckoned the singer over and said, "Jay Chou's snail, will it?" ”
The female singer with short ear-length hair nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Zhou Shen casually grabbed seven or eight red tickets from the bag and gave them to her, "Wow! Sing. ”
"Thank you!" The female singer took the money and bowed in thanks, then turned around and came to the stage, holding the guitar and singing while playing.
"Should we put down the heavy shell and find out where the blue sky is...... I had to climb up step by step, waiting for the sun to look at its face. ”
After the female singer's affectionate performance, she looked up and saw that the guest who had ordered the song had disappeared.
Here, Zhou Shen revisited his former favorite, but unfortunately he couldn't find the touching he once was.
But it doesn't matter, those good things can stay in the memory, and the occasional thought can make the corners of the mouth curl slightly.
After leaving the bar, he went to the arcade again.
What he didn't expect was that there were games like The King of Fighters, Street Fighter, and Metal Slug in it, and when he heard the familiar BGM sound, the memory of the dead gave him a heavy blow.
He remembered that when he was in elementary school, he didn't come home from school and went to the game hall with his classmates, and played for two hours, and then his grandfather showed up with a stick.
There were a lot of people in the game room that day, and he cried very badly.
He spent hours in the arcade room and then went back to the gambling room.
Human genes are born with gambling nature, compared to other places to play, there are a lot of people in the gambling hall, very noisy and lively, thousands of guests from Southeast Asia are playing in it.
Zhou Shen stood on the stairs, overlooking the resplendent casino hall, and suddenly thought of something.
"I heard from the informant over there in Funan that Huang Xulong has a second-hand luxury cruise ship converted into a gambling boat, which is specially used to transport gamblers from Southeast Asia to Gaolong Island, Huang Xulong was killed by me, and the gambling ship is missing, could it be this one?"
"It shouldn't be so coincidental, the ZP Group and the Black Society Group in Southeast Asia are very afraid of me, if it's really their gambling ship, it is impossible for me to get on the ship when they see my name, unless they want to kill me on the ship, but none of the people I have met so far have murderous intent towards me......"
Zhou Shen thought about the mess in his mind, watched it from a distance, and then returned to the lounge to practice.
……
Time flew by, and when he heard a knock on the door, Zhou Shen opened his eyes and looked out of the small window of the room, and the sea outside was already pitch black.
"Mr. Zhou......"
"Well, I know, I'll come later."
Zhou Shen stretched out after getting off the ground, then opened the attribute panel and looked at it, cultivating the Huang Ting Neijing, and the remaining life span increased by more than 30 days, which is really good!
He put his bag on his back and happily opened the room and walked out.
Soon the person in charge, Pete, walked over quickly and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou, please come with me." ”
Zhou Shen followed Pete all the way to the fifth floor, and when he passed by one of the houses, Pete stopped and said: "Mr. Zhou, some of the items in our auction may be controversial, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, and of course, to dispel the concerns of other participants, you need to wear a mask." ”
"Okay!"
Since it was the rule of the family, Zhou Shen didn't say anything, he readily agreed, took the mask handed over by Pete and put it on.
Then followed him around the fifth floor of the cruise ship, and soon there was a large auction hall of four or five hundred square meters.
What he didn't expect was that there were already two or three hundred guests in the auction hall at this time, each with a mask on his face, and more guests walked in from the front three or four doors.
"I thought the auction was just a gimmick, but looking at it like this, it doesn't look like a gimmick."
Zhou Shen saw more and more people, and through their clothes and the momentum faintly exuded from their bodies, these people wearing masks were either rich or expensive, and they had a lot of backgrounds.
He couldn't help but be curious.
Zhou Shen sat down casually in the middle position, there is a bid button next to the position, you can adjust the price according to your needs, and there is also a simultaneous interpretation headset, the details are very good.
Seven or eight hundred seats were quickly filled.
There are not so many procedures, and the auctioneer also knows very well that every time of the participating guests is very precious, and they dare not waste their time, and a male host in his forties immediately came out of the backstage after everyone arrived.
After a couple of opening remarks in English, the host smiled and said, "Let's have the first lot." ”
Soon, two beautiful women wearing red cheongsams came out carrying a square frame covered with red cloth, and then carefully placed them on the table in front of the host.
Under the watchful eye, the host carefully uncovered the red cloth, and inside was a bowl, on which was engraved with seawater and dragon patterns.
The host said excitedly: "This is a seawater dragon pattern bowl made by JDZ in the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, and there are currently two of them in the world, one is treasured in the National Museum of Asian Art in France, and the other is in my hand." ”
Then the host began to show the seawater dragon pattern bowl, and the audience below also stared at each other with excitement.
Through the big screen, you can see that this seawater dragon pattern bowl is not big, no more than 7 centimeters high, painted with exquisite seawater and dragon patterns, and with the rotation of the host, you can see that the bottom is engraved with a clear inscription, written in regular script "Ming Jiajing Year" six big characters.
Then the host said: "The starting price of this seawater dragon bowl is $200,000, and the price increase must not be less than $50,000 each time." The auction is now open. ”
"$250,000."
"$300,000."
"$400,000."
“……”
Offstage, Zhou Shen was not interested in this seawater dragon pattern bowl at all, and even wanted to laugh, and secretly thought to himself: "If I can live for tens of thousands of years like John Oldman in "This Man Comes from Earth", maybe I will have the opportunity to see the items I used will be auctioned as antiques one day in the future." ”
Thinking about it in a mess, when he came back to his senses, he found that the seawater dragon pattern bowl on the stage was actually called for 2.35 million US dollars.
Zhou Shen sighed that these people had money, and couldn't help but be a little curious, turned his head and asked a person next to him in English: "Aren't they afraid of buying fakes?" ”
The masked man next to him had a strange look in his eyes, as if to say: How could you ask such an ignorant question?
But in the face of Zhou Shen's inquisitive eyes, the man still said: "Don't you know that this auction house has existed for many years? Never heard of selling fakes! And you should have seen that there are so many lucrative projects on this ship, so that you don't want to do such stupid things. ”
"Oh, yes, I say, it's my first time."
"I see it......"
While the two were chatting, the national treasure of the seawater dragon bowl was bought for $3 million.
Next up was a bronze sculpture from the Roman era, which was also popular with the audience, and the price soared to $5.1 million.
Next is a pure gold Buddha statue of the Three Kingdoms......
However, most of them are antiques from China, such as bronzes from the Warring States period, jade from the Han Dynasty, porcelain from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as calligraphy and paintings, miscellaneous, etc., and all of them are national treasures, which caused the on-site participants to scream.
Zhou Shen was still wondering at first, where did this organizer get so many Chinese national treasure-level antiques?
But then I slowly came back to my senses.
These antiques are supposed to have been put out by private collectors in Europe.
According to UNESCO statistics, there are more than 1.6 million cultural relics in China, most of which were forcibly plundered by powerful Western countries at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
More than 200 museums in the world have collected Chinese cultural relics, and private collections are countless, and only Japan and benzene have plundered more than 3.6 million pieces of cultural relics during the invasion of China.
The number of cultural relics scattered abroad is too scattered, so it is really difficult to determine the number of statistics, but according to conservative estimates, the British and French troops took away at least more than 30 million pieces of cultural relics from the palace, which in addition to animal heads, there are a large number of silk, jade, porcelain and other works of art.
Zhou Shen thought in his heart, but he was not interested in any of them, so he didn't say anything.
The auction lasted for two hours.
Just when Zhou Shen thought that the auction was about to end, the host announced that the first half was over, and the second half would be held after a quarter of an hour's rest, and said that there would be more good things in the second half.
Zhou Shen couldn't help but secretly say when he heard this: "I don't know if there will really be any natural treasures?" ”
He went out to the toilet, went to the drinking place and took a cup of boiling water, poured it into his mouth, and next to him, an old white Fumei wearing a mask with loose skin, was dumbfounded, and kept staring at Zhou Shen's back.
Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the auction began.
As a result, the first lot surprised Zhou Shen.
"Everybody, look at the big screen." With the gesture of the host, everyone looked at the projector behind them, which was actually a map of the woolly bear country, "This is a gold mine located in the Amur Region, with an annual output of about 500 catties of gold, a contract period of 20 years, and a remaining period of 12 years, with a fixed price of 80 million US dollars, on a first-come, first-served basis." The auction is now open! ”
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone made a bid.
"Congratulations to No. 171, who has become the new owner of the gold mine in the Amur Region, and after the auction, someone will assist you in the transfer of ownership."
After saying that, the host immediately began to move on to the next auction, which gave the impression that it was not 80 million US dollars, but 80 million Zimbabwean dollars.
Zhou Shen glanced at No. 171, who had bought the gold mine, it was a tall man who left the scene after taking pictures of the gold mine, as if he had come specifically for the gold mine.
And at this moment, the two hostesses wearing bright red cheongsams appeared again, carrying a square frame covered with red silk cloth in their hands.
The host lifted the lid, revealing a dusty tree root-like thing.
It is about 20 centimeters long, thick in the middle and thin at the ends, very much like "kudzu", but the front has been cut off by one-fifth, revealing the gray-brown interior inside, and there are growth rings.
Zhou Shen, who was originally sitting there, stood up in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Wow, it's really a spiritual thing?" And the aura is still so sufficient? ”
The host reminded with a smile: "Trouble Mr. 159 sit down." ”
Zhou Shen paused for a moment, and then sat down slowly.
At this moment, the host explained: "This is a medicinal herb that a fisherman on the island of Sumatra accidentally picked up on the beach, and according to the drug identification, it belongs to a category of ginseng, but it is not ginseng, but a medicinal herb that is older than ginseng." ”
"And the age of this medicinal material is about 600~650 years old."
"Of course, time doesn't matter, the important thing is that this is a great tonic, and the fisherman became fierce after drinking wine with slices of this herb, and at the age of fifty-seven he could still do it four or five times a night, and he was still in good spirits the next day."
In order to prove that what he said was true, the host also put a lot of information films, including what the fisherman's surname was called, and where his home was, which attracted many men on the scene to be eager to try.
It's impossible to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and if it doesn't work, it's smashing your own signboard.
"According to the amount of use, it can be used for about a year, with a starting price of $1 million, and each increase must not be less than $100,000."
"$2 million on 159."
"$612 million."
"$3.1 million for No. 333."
"$3.5 million for No. 430."
"$5 million on the 18th."
"$5.5 million on No. 268."
"$6 million ...... No. 18"
Except for the first bid, Zhou Shen did not bid again, because the price was far beyond his budget.
However, he was bound to get it, and he couldn't let go of this kind of spiritual cultivation object.
ps: I saw your message, your request to me, is just not to be unfinished, eunuch, I really have to cry to death......
