Chapter 9 Auctions
Seeing this, the national teacher couldn't help but smile and made a gesture of invitation to them. He led them into a house on the second floor where he was. Everyone entered this room with a bright eye, if the outside layout is said to be splendid, heroic to the point of outrageousness, then this place is as quiet and elegant as a paradise. Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious, in such a building full of gold, there is such a place, which is really amazing.
The national teacher sat on a chair covered in jasper, waved his hand, and motioned for them to sit down, and then everyone reacted and sat down in turn. When the national teacher saw everyone sitting down, his eyes looked at the rest of the room from time to time, and he also smiled.
"Isn't it strange that there is such a place in a pavilion full of money? ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded noncommittally.
"This is the place to receive VIPs, such as the master of this country, His Majesty Li Yu, the lord of the Tianyuan Country. The national teacher continued.
"Li Yu?" was stunned, he was still alive! How many years ago did he see him at that time, and he helped him win the throne at that time. After so many years, I thought that the head of this country had already changed, thinking that it was his son and grandson, but I didn't expect it to be him. If it's really a person in a high position, I can't think about it. Silence shook his head.
"This little friend, why is he shaking his head?" The national teacher also saw it, and suddenly saw the small movement of loneliness, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing, I think of some things from the past, but, Master Guoshi, since we are receiving Your Majesty, isn't it appropriate for us to come in?"
Hearing this, the national teacher also waved his hand and denied: "This is to receive VIPs, not to receive the emperor, but I think the VIP is only the emperor now, and the others are more or less almost." The national teacher's tone is arrogant, but he also has arrogant capital, under himself, the national teacher above 10,000 people, has a good ability, and there is a treasure jade building that accepts treasures. It can be described as a winner in life.
"Is there something wrong with us coming in? Silence couldn't help but be a little puzzled, according to what he said, then they were not and did not qualify to come in.
"No, no, no, little friend, you're qualified. The national teacher shook his head when he heard this, and he didn't know where to take out a jade bottle, and when he saw it, it was the jade bottle where he stored the quenching pill. Silence frowned, didn't understand what the national teacher meant, didn't speak, and looked at the national teacher quietly.
"Xiaoyou, this elixir was refined by yourself?" the national teacher smiled slightly, looking at the loneliness, a kind of flickering light.
"Yes. "Silence is not hidden, there is no need at all, this is just the most ordinary elixir. Even if it is scarce, it is not surprising that the royal family must still have it.
"Xiaoyou is really powerful, I won't tell you, now the pills are scarce, and the alchemists are even rarer, and the only ones who can refine the pills are those forces that can't escape the world. There are very few in the world. All I learned that this elixir was refined by Xiaoyou, so I wanted to see it, and now it seems that Xiaoyou is really a young talent. The national teacher smiled and said.
"Is that so? What are the escaping families?" As soon as he heard this, he came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, he originally wanted to go to the academy to check some news, but he didn't make it, but now that he has the opportunity, he naturally has to ask.
"The Escape Family. There are Tibetan Sword Villa, there is the Valley of the Heart, and the Dharma Academy, these things are on the surface, and there are some forces hidden in the shadows, which are still unknown. The old man explained.
"Hidden Sword Villa can't escape from the world? why?" Lonely Li couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, he remembered that thousands of years ago, there were people from Hidden Sword Villa in the group of people who came to suppress him, but then he didn't pay attention to it, he only remembered that it seemed to be blocked by the Eastern Emperor and Qiu Laosan. After that, they didn't know anything, and now they can't come out of the world, and they don't know what happened.
"That day, no one in the Yuan Kingdom will be able to refine the pill?"
"Of course not, there are several big families that have their own alchemists, but they only supply their own families, never sell them to the outside world, and their ability is limited, and there are very few unilateral ones that have been preserved, and only a small part is still circulating in the world today. The national teacher sighed.
"National Teacher, you are also an alchemist. Silent asked quietly.
"Oh, how do you know?" the national teacher was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but look a little surprised.
Lonely Li pointed to the layout of this room, and then pointed to the national teacher, and said with a smile: "The placement in your room is placed in the way of Taoist Qimen Dunjia, although it is a little light, but you still have a trace of the breath of pills." Obviously, it has just been refined. ”
The national teacher was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Xiaoyou is really meticulous, that's right, the old man is indeed an alchemist." I also just came back from refining the elixir for His Majesty the Emperor, and I just ran into a little friend when I came back. ”
"It's the national teacher who carries love. Silence said modestly.
"Xiaoyou looked at the face, unlike the people in the capital, have you ever thought about doing things for Your Majesty and protecting the Tianyuan Kingdom without worry!"
"Ahh
"Xiaoyou's alchemy skills can completely join the royal family and do things for His Majesty, and in time, he will gain a good reputation in one day. The national teacher continued.
Lonely also didn't expect the national teacher to come to a set, but he naturally wouldn't join the royal family, who is he, how can he be bound by a small country. Then Wan Yan refused.
"Thank you for the appreciation of the national teacher, but the man is ambitious in all directions, and I still want to see the prosperity of the world, the capital. It won't be long. ”
"That's a pity. When the national teacher heard this, he was immediately a little disappointed, but he smiled.
"It doesn't matter, it's rare for Xiaoyou to have such ambitions, and the old man naturally won't force it. It's not too late, and I heard you're going to the afternoon auction, right?" asked the old man.
"Well, I have what I want. Thinking of the purple jade flute, and recalling the two of them who were once with Ruoyu, under the bright moon, in the pavilion in the water, one person stroked the qin, and one person chanted the flute, I couldn't help but be a little yearning and a little sentimental.
The national teacher was also relieved when he heard this, and yes, when he participated in the auction, he didn't want to buy something, really, he asked an idiot question. Then he smiled: "Then I won't keep you, the time is almost up, I wish Xiaoyou something to gain." Then he got up and made a move
The few people also arched their hands and walked out, and when they left, they sat back on the chairs, and a black shadow came out behind them, and the national teacher saw him and said, "How is it?"
The black shadow shook his head and said, "I didn't feel the fluctuation of spiritual power from them, I should just be an ordinary person." ”
"Yes. The national teacher nodded noncommittally, then waved his hand and motioned for the black shadow man to go down. One of them muttered, "It's rare to see such a young alchemist, maybe it's one of those few who have escaped from the world?
After leaving the room, he walked towards the auction hall. As he walked, the little Taoist priest said, "Poor Dao thinks there is something wrong with this national teacher. ”
"No, I think that old man was very kind just now. The light rain on the side was puzzled.
Silence nodded, his face as usual.
"Indeed, I just felt another fluctuation of spiritual power, and there should be someone in that room besides us and the national teacher. Just don't know what they're going. Silence thought about it for a while, and as soon as he entered the door, he actually noticed that something was wrong, but he was also curious about what medicine was sold in the gourd of this national teacher. As a result, Tiannan Haibei talked nonsense, and there was no useful information, the only useful information was that the once glorious Tibetan Sword Villa is now hiding from the world, and it seems that many old friends can't see it for the time being.
As they spoke, they came to a large gate, and saw two men in armor and spears standing in front of the door, motionless. Feeling the fluctuations of spiritual power on his body, his face moved slightly.
"The Dan Period!" The cultivation of the two gatekeepers actually has the cultivation of the foundation building period.
"Stop, please show the invitation. The group was about to go inside, when two spears blocked the way of the group, and one of them said coldly with an expressionless face.
"Invitation? Oh, this is okay!" Silence was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the jade pendant that the steward had given him at the beginning, Silence took out the jade plate and handed it to the gatekeeper, who took the jade plate and looked at it, and handed it back to Silence.
"Please come in!" the two men retracted their spears and made the way.
The group walked to the auction hall, and everyone found a place with few people and sat down. As time went on, there were more and more people.
"Master He, I haven't seen you for a long time!" the group walked in, and the leader greeted the person who was already sitting in the seat with a smile.
When the man sitting in the seat heard this, he looked at the man and quickly stood up to say hello. "It turned out to be the head of the Zhao family! You are also here to participate in the auction!"
"Yes, yes, I heard that there is something good this time, so why don't you come and see it. The head of the Zhao family narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Yes, by the way, Mo He, come and see your Uncle Zhao. The head of the Zhao family urged the young man on the side. The man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
The young man was Chu Mohe, and he saw him at a glance, but he didn't expect him to come to the auction as well, and he was really a narrow road. Why didn't Chu Mo stand up, it was okay to stand up, and when he stood up, he saw the lonely and others sitting in the corner at a glance, and the hatred in his eyes increased, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, you still dare to appear in front of me!"
The head of the Chu family and the head of the Zhao family were also stunned, and the head of the Chu family hurriedly shouted and scolded: "Bastard, how can you talk to your Uncle Zhao!" How to speak.
Chu Mohe also reacted at this time, looking at the head of the Zhao family, at this time the head of the Zhao family had a gloomy face, he never expected that a hairy boy would dare to scold himself. It really made him angry.
Chu Mohe hurriedly waved his hand and defended: "No. . . No, Uncle Zhao didn't mean you, I meant that kid. He hurriedly pointed in the direction where Lonely was located, but found that there was no one, and hurriedly looked around: "Where are the people!
Seeing this, the head of the Zhao family also laughed angrily: "Okay, good." Chu family! Okay! Hmph!" After speaking, he waved his sleeves angrily and turned to leave.
Seeing the head of the Zhao family leave angrily, the head of the Chu family was also very irritable, and after glancing at the son next to him who seemed to have lost his mind, he was angry and kicked over.
"Oops!" Chu Mo let out a painful sigh, and he also wanted to cry without tears, no, it's only a while, what about people?
At this time, the initiator was sitting in a corner on the other side, and when he saw Chu Mohe for the first time, he took everyone to quietly change seats. When he saw the head of the Zhao family leaving angrily, the head of the Chu family kicked Chu Mo angrily, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's the matter!" the little Taoist priest looked at the snickering silence on the side and said curiously.
Silence hurriedly waved his hand. "No. It's okay. Oh, it's on!" saw someone walk up to the stage and hurriedly urged.
As the number of people grew, the huge auction was already full. After one person walked on the stage, he said to everyone: "Welcome to Baoyu Building, there are a total of 10 lots this time, and the highest price will win." It is not allowed to make trouble in the auction house, and it is not allowed to bid maliciously, and those who violate the order will be punished by Baoyulou. Okay, without further ado, let's get started. Now for the first lot. ”
Then, a richly dressed woman brought up an item covered with red silk. The auctioneer said to everyone, "The first lot is a sword. This sword is about three feet long, the sword body is transparent, and the hilt is inlaid with eight blue blood pill hearts. It is the sword used by a generation of grandmasters. It is rumored that a sword can break mountains and rivers. Well, the first lot, the starting price is 10,000 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 100 gold coins. Start now. ”
"Ten thousand gold coins!" one quoted.
"Twelve thousand gold coins!"
"Ten thousand!"
"I'll give 20,000!" At this time, the head of the Zhao family stood up and quoted.
"20,000 gold coins! This one gave 20,000 gold coins, and there are no more, 20,000 gold coins once, 20,000 gold coins twice. 20,000 gold coins. ”
"Thirty thousand gold coins. Just as the auctioneer was about to make a bid, another person stood up and made an offer.
"Wei Feng, you!" The head of the Zhao family thought that this sword was bound to be obtained, but he was actually stabbed sideways, and he was extremely angry in his heart, looking at the man and saying coldly: "Wei Feng, you want to rob me?"
The man named Wei Feng smiled noncommittally, and said disdainfully: "This is an auction, whoever pays more money will get the treasure, what are you pretending to be here, if you have the ability, you will increase the price, and if you don't have the ability, shut up." ”
"You! 50,000 gold coins!" The head of the Chu family snorted coldly and directly increased the price to 50,000 gold coins.
"I'll see who else will raise the price and rob me!" The head of the Chu family looked around in a cold voice, and the warning in his words was strong. It means that whoever of you robs me is against me.
Wei Feng pursed his lips, he couldn't hear the meaning of his words. is not in a hurry to tear his face and break it, so he simply shuts up and doesn't speak.
The auctioneer also heard what he meant, and warned in a cold voice: "What you have done constitutes malicious bidding! Another time, we will expel you." The words were cold, and the breath on his body rose sharply, pressing towards everyone.
"What I just said is not just for him, but for all of you. Remember, no further offenses are allowed! Now the auction continues, fifty thousand once! Fifty thousand twice! Fifty thousand three times! Okay, congratulations, this lot was obtained by the head of the Chu family. Please trade with our staff after the end. ”
"Okay!" the head of the Chu family laughed, and his mood was extremely open.
"Then continue to auction the second lot, a quenching pill! Everyone should know what the function of the quenching pill is! Then start bidding, and the starting price is 10,000 gold coins. The markup for each auction shall not be less than 1,000. Start now!"
"Twenty thousand gold coins!" Before the auctioneer's voice fell, one person stood up and directly offered 20,000 yuan.
"Thirty thousand gold coins!" a voice came out.
"Forty thousand!" "I'll give fifty thousand!" The moment they saw the Quenching Pill, everyone's eyes became hot, and the major families were also red-eyed. Even if it's their family, there aren't a few. Their alchemists were refining the most common healing pills. As for the Quenching Pill, they probably didn't even know about the Dan Fang.
After everyone increased the price for a while, a pill went directly to 100,000 gold coins.
"One hundred thousand gold coins, two hundred thousand gold coins, three hundred thousand gold coins! The auctioneer said to the successful bidder.
I saw that the man was wearing a hat on his head and was dressed in black, obviously not wanting anyone to know his identity. The man in the hat took out a money bag and threw it over, took the pill and quickly left the venue, followed by a few other people, probably trying to get some benefits from the man in black. Everyone has seen it, but there is no reaction, they have seen a lot of this kind of thing, since you want to buy it, then you must be prepared to be killed and overlooked.
Silence also frowned at this time, and quietly said to the little Taoist: "You take them back to the inn first, and I'll take the flute and leave." The little Taoist priest also nodded, they will only affect Loneliness, so let's just go first, he is quite confident in Loneliness. The genius of a thousand years ago, the first man! Even if he was reborn, it would be unattainable. So, he pulled the two people who didn't know the truth and left the auction hall.
Silence left quietly, and when he came back, he had an extra black cloak on his body, although he was not afraid of these people, he also did not want accidents to happen.
"Alright, let's start the auction of the third lot! It's a flute! We don't know what it's called, but as far as we know, it's probably a thousand years old with the flute, and most importantly, it's a beautiful flute. The starting price is 5,000 gold coins", and as he spoke, he pulled back the red cloth, revealing the purple cloud flute in it.
The men present were not interested in looking at this flute, but the women present were excited, this flute is too beautiful.
"I want! I'll give 10,000 gold coins. A woman stood up and said, her eyes fixed on the flute.
"I'll give you 12,000!" another woman screamed.
"I'll give you 50,000 gold coins!" a deep voice came out.
