Chapter 8 Seven Hundred Spirit Stones to Buy an Old Cricket? Buy it back for retirement
A smile appeared on the corner of Elder Cui's mouth: "Boy, remember today's lesson, remember not to look down on people anymore!" Don't send the guests to VIP Room 7 yet! ”
Bai Bao Zhai is a circular building, VIP Room No. 7 is located on the second floor, and the windows are opened to face the balcony of the No. 19 noble ward opposite.
Qiu Cunmo put down the bead curtain and veil, dragged a bamboo chair to the balcony, and after releasing the big-tailed chicken, he drank tea and ate snacks while looking through today's auction list.
Today's lots include elixir fairy grass, rare treasures, and beautiful spirit animals.
Her target is Lot 18, a space magic weapon called the Ring Buckle Hinge Jade Bracelet, the market price is about thirty spirit stones, and she brought fifty pieces, which is estimated to be enough.
The person presiding over the auction was a woman about forty years old, with dignified facial features, a dusty temperament, and a graceful and luxurious aura between her hands.
She personally held a tray covered with red silk and placed it elegantly on the main podium.
"The little woman Yuan Ya is the main thing today, I think many old friends know me, so I don't introduce myself much, the old rules, this baby in my hand is the lead of today's auction, a ringing cricket!"
The red silk was lifted, and in the black porcelain urn, there was a dull cricket cry.
"Yuan Niangzi, don't you have any treasures in Bai Bao Zhai? This kind of thing, I, Zhao Lingyun, are not uncommon to play, you actually use it as an introduction, and you want to attract wealth and treasure? The immature boy leaned out from the balcony of the VIP room No. 19, gnawing on a chicken leg in his greasy mouth.
Buying an introduction is a tradition of Bai Bao Zhai auctions.
Before each auction, the merchant will take out a special treasure as a warm-up auction, the higher the enthusiasm of the auction, the higher the atmosphere, which means that the auction will be more successful.
Therefore, it is the rarest treasures that are put up for auction.
Can crickets......
Even if he is the top winning general, he is not a baby, and he is not worthy of being a leader.
But some people saw the unusual: "Yuan Niangzi, I'm afraid this cricket is not an ordinary cricket, right?" Why is it suffocated in a crockpot? Aren't all crickets kept in bamboo baskets and jars? ”
Yuan Ya smiled mysteriously: "Ten years ago, there was a family of dart masters surnamed Jiang who was wiped out overnight, have you heard?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Baozhai blew up the hall.
Jiang's dart game, full of seventy-three people, all of them are dart masters who practice their families, but they all died overnight, and the strange thing is that no one knows how their more than seventy people died.
Legend has it that the death of the Jiang family was very peaceful, and everyone seemed to be unable to wake up in their sleep, and they died without any pain.
"Yuan Niangzi, the death of more than seventy members of the Jiang family can't be related to this cricket, right?" Someone reacted.
"Yes or no, you might as well take a look at the lot first." Yuan Ya buckled a bamboo cage on the black urn and picked the lid.
"Whew!"
A swarthy, green cricket jumped onto the mouth of the can, "squeaking" non-stop, and its small eyes revealed a terrible fierce light.
The guests were attracted and leaned out to take a look.
"This cricket is not right, why does it glow green? Yuan Niangzi, are you sure this is a cricket? ”
Crickets, of course!
Qiu Cunmo glanced at it coldly, and then retracted into the chair: ...... It's a cricket! An old cricket with a lifespan of less than a year and an old dragon clock!!
Generally speaking, the refining of Gu worms is based on poisonous insects, and scorpions, centipedes, poisonous snakes, and toads are the majority, because they are naturally aggressive.
It is more troublesome to refine a cricket like this, and the Gu master must adjust the aggressiveness of the cricket with medicinal properties, and then quench it with toxins, so that it can devour poisonous insects such as scorpions and centipedes in the process of refining.
However, it was just a trouble, and for her, the Gu was also a small Gu worm at her fingertips, so she didn't bother to look at it.
Yuan Ya smiled lightly: "It's not comprehensive to say that it is a cricket, because it has eaten countless poisonous insects and refined into Gu worms, so it should be called a cricket!" ”
"This is a Gu worm? This is a Gu worm?! Zhao Lingyun was interested, and half of his body was almost hanging on the balcony: "There are so many people in the Jiang family's dart game, and they all died in its hands?" ”
"The Jiang family's dart bureau is full of seventy-three people, and they all died under its toxin, Zhao Ergongzi is interested?"
"Yes, you say a price, my son wants it!" Zhao Lingyun patted the balcony excitedly, asking Yuan Ya to quickly announce the price.
Qiu Cunmo glanced at him speechlessly, and muttered: "Hillbilly, can an old Gu worm be excited like this?" Cut! ”
She picked up the teacup disdainfully, tasted the flower tea, and was very surprised: "Good tea, there is a fragrance of flowers!" ”
Even in his previous life, he had never drunk such fragrant flower tea.
She hurriedly picked up the teapot and filled it again.
Yuan Ya's laughter was like a silver bell: "Second son Zhao, don't worry, our starting price is very low, thirty spirit stones start, and each increase in price is only ten spirit stones......"
Qiu Cunmo: ...... Why don't you grab it!!
Such a cricket Gu that is about to hang up, the starting price is still thirty spirit stones?
You can grab it, but you have to do some auction!
But then, I heard Zhao Lingyun's excited shout: "I want it!" ”
"Boom!" He rang the gong in the window.
Not far behind, the other guests were not far behind: "I want it too!" ”
"And me!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“……”
Striking the gong means that the guests take a picture and raise the price, and each stroke represents ten spirit stones.
The atmosphere became more and more flattering, and people bid like crazy, and finally Zhao Lingyun sold it for seven hundred and fifty spirit stones!
"Smack!"
The teapot in Qiu Cunmo's hand fell to the ground.
Are these people stupid and have a lot of money!?
More than 700 spirit stones to buy an old cricket?
Why? Do you want to go home to retire?
"Congratulations to the second son of Zhao in room nineteen, take a picture of the Gu Gu." Yuan Ya said as she drove the Gu back to the urn.
Unbeknownst to everyone, a black shadow jumped over and knocked down the urn.
"Click!"
The clay urn fell to the ground and shattered, and the cricket Gu also jumped out.
But before everyone could react, a big pointed mouth "bar" pecked the cricket, swallowed it on its back, and screamed twice with a provocative "coo".
Only then did everyone see that it was actually a ...... Big Tail Pheasant!!
Qiu Cunmo was completely petrified.
Damn big-tailed chicken, do you know what you're doing?
Is that a cricket when you swallow it?
That's seven hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones!!
"Goo, goo!"
The big-tailed chicken didn't know that he was in trouble, and walked around the stage proudly with his tail cocked: ...... For the cricket, it is a natural food chain, the meat that is delivered to the mouth, and it is not eaten in vain!
"This, whose chicken is this?" Zhao Lingyun suddenly roared hysterically: "Grab it for me, stew!" ”
His guards stepped out and grabbed the big-tailed chicken.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the big-tailed chicken immediately flapped its wings and flew to the window of VIP Room No. 7 to seek shelter.
But......
"Buzz!"
The invisible spiritual power formed an enchantment, and it was simply stopped.
The big-tailed chicken hit the enchantment, and the whole chicken was stunned, looking at Qiu Cunmo in a daze, and slid down the enchantment.
What do you mean, master? Why don't you want me in? Don't you want me? 】
