Chapter 246: The Ancient Carving Technique

Unfortunately, as soon as Zhou Yang sat down, a mountain of meat appeared next to him, and the wide seat couldn't fit that person, and half of his ass occupied another one.

Zhou Yang turned his head to look, it was the hateful middle-aged fat man, seeing Zhou Yang looking over, he barely squeezed out a smile, revealing a jagged mouthful of yellow teeth.

Zhou Yang only glanced at him, then turned his head expressionlessly.

"Everyone, please be silent!"

An old man dressed in a purple robe and wearing a gold crown had already appeared on the auction table, about sixty years old, with a ruddy complexion, three long beards, and a noble appearance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the eleventh large-scale palace auction is now begins! This auction is the largest and most prestigious auction ever held, with twelve princes, eight princesses, two imperial uncles, three eldest princesses, and six attached horses.

The arrival of the princes, princesses and royal princes is really a blessing for us. On behalf of all of you here, I would like to greet all the princes, princesses, and relatives of the imperial family!"

The second prince sitting in the middle nodded slightly, signaling that the old man could conduct an auction.

The old man saluted again and said, "The auction will start below." It's still the old rule, auction the treasures of the royal family first, and then auction all the treasures here. If there are still treasures in the auction, you can go to the background to register. Here's the first lot!"

The old man flashed to the side, and walked up from the backstage a young girl dressed in red, holding a trailer in both hands, which was covered with a red silk cloth.

"This lot is from the royal family, and as the first piece to be auctioned, it is naturally extremely valuable. Okay, I won't say more, everyone, please keep your eyes on it!" The old man on the stage briefly introduced two sentences, and then stretched out his hand to lift off the red silk.

"Shhh

The girl tilted the tray slightly downward, revealing the lot inside, which was actually a golden mask!

The material of the mask is not unusual, mainly gold, but its image and engraving process are breathtaking.

On the left side of the mask are two flowers, and on the right are a branch and a few words. Judging by its shape and size, it is supposed to be the mask worn by a woman.

The people in the front row naturally saw clearly, but the people in the back were a little far away, so everyone stood up one after another, stretched their necks and stared at the stage.

Zhou Yang doesn't have to be like this, his eyesight is far comparable to that of ordinary people, and the mask on the stage is really seen by him.

Speaking from the heart, this mask is finely worked, simple and elegant, unlike today's things.

However, Zhou Yang swept it with his divine sense, and there was no fluctuation of spiritual power, it was a mortal thing, and it was useless to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this mask is an ancient treasure of genuine value. After the royal family obtained it, it was finally confirmed that this mask was an artifact of the ancient Chongmu Dynasty, and its owner was said to be the queen of Chongmu, more than 3,000 years ago, and the engraving process at that time has long been lost.

Yes, this craft is the famous openwork technique. It's a pity that such exquisite skills have not been handed down, and his works are even more difficult to enjoy in the world. Therefore, not to mention the value of this mask itself, just to say that this ancient openwork technique is a priceless treasure!

This is the only thing in the world, and it is unique. Well, the starting price of this mask is 50,000 taels of silver, with a price increase of no less than 5,000 taels each time. Bidding is now open!"

"Openwork technique, what kind of skill is this?" Zhou Yang muttered to himself.

"Hehe, little brother doesn't know the art of openwork?" the middle-aged fat man turned his head when he heard this.

"You know?"

"It's nature. In fact, the so-called openwork is just a gimmick. There are also in the world today, but it is a new openwork, as for the ancient openwork that is not comparable, no one can say. The fat man leaned back, his face grimacing.

"I see. Zhou Yang suddenly realized.

"Seventy thousand!"

"Seventy-five thousand!"

"Ninety thousand!"

At this time, the mask of the queen of heavy eyes has been auctioned for a high price of 90,000 yuan, and the sound of bidding is still coming and going.

"One hundred thousand!" Suddenly, a voice appeared in the front row, and a woman spoke.

"It's the Ninth Princess who has made the bid. Someone in the audience suddenly whispered.

After the ninth princess shouted, the auction hall suddenly fell silent.

Joke, who dares to grab something from the emperor's most favored nine princesses, why not look for death?

After a short period of silence, the old man on the stage was also very knowledgeable, and instead of instigating everyone in the audience to compete for the price, he turned to the ninth princess and said: "Okay, the ninth princess bid 100,000 yuan, and you have not bid again, so this mask will ......."

"One hundred and one hundred thousand!" Just as the old man wanted to say that this mask belonged to the Ninth Princess, a faint voice appeared in the audience.

Everyone was stunned and looked out of the voice.

Who is so bold as to dare to bid with the Ninth Princess, is it fatal?

I saw Zhou Yang holding his jade card, and the fat man next to him was stunned, and his face stiffened, and his heart was bitter.

Isn't this unlucky, why don't you have to be next to such a stunned young man, you just look for death yourself, why do you want to pit me!

The old man also looked sluggish, and he was really not afraid of death these days.

However, after a short period of stunnedness, he took a deep look at Zhou Yang, and had no choice but to speak: "Ninety-nine bids 110,000, nine, nine princesses, you ......"

"One hundred and twenty thousand!" the female voice in the front row came again, but no emotion could be heard.

"One hundred and thirty thousand!" Zhou Yang raised the jade plaque again.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!" the Ninth Princess's voice began to turn cold.

"One hundred and sixty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!" the Ninth Princess said word by word.

"Two hundred and one thousand!"

There was no sound in the front row, but a person suddenly stood up next to the ninth princess, and his cold gaze swept towards Zhou Yang, and then the voice spread to everyone: "Three hundred thousand!"

The old man on the stage was a little sweaty, and this first item was auctioned off with real fire, which was a good thing, but the person who bid for it was wrong!

But if you immortals fight, I'm going to suffer. Where the did this guy come out of nowhere, he really wants to stir up the situation, and if it goes on like this, something must happen.

The old man can order the golden armor guards to take the troublemakers out, but if they do so, the prestige of the royal family will be greatly damaged, after all, this auction is organized by the royal family, and the rules of the auction have always been that the highest bidder wins, which is not easy to use.

The old man had no choice but to come forward to play a round and stubbornly said, "Friend Ninety-Nine, this is your first time participating in the auction, right?"

"Yes, so what, aren't the rules here that allow newcomers to bid?"

"Hehe, my friend misunderstood. This is a palace auction presided over by the princes, which is naturally the most fair, and all the lots are naturally won by the highest bidder.

However, I would like to say that since the beginning of this auction, all lots will not only be awarded by the highest bidder, but also have additional conditions, which is also the prince's edict. All lots from the royal family must be accompanied by a stunning beauty.

Of course, this is not what is needed for the auction, but the fact that today's harem is empty and needs to be replenished urgently. So I would like to remind friend No. 99 that silver taels alone is not enough, I hope you will think twice!"

"What, there are such rules, why don't I know?"

"You don't know, I've been to it five or six times, and it's the first time I've heard of it. ”

"The harem is empty! How can it be? How many beauties have entered this year! There are quite a few that have flowed into the palace from the auction alone, not to mention those collected from all over the country!"

"Okay, don't ask around, the rules are set by people, that's not to say that they will be changed. This is a palace auction, the royal family has the final say, what if you change the rules temporarily!"

As soon as the old man's voice fell, there was a burst of discussion in the audience. Of course, it was only a whisper, and no one dared to say it out loud.

"Oh, there are such strange rules, I opened my eyes!" Zhou Yang's ears were extraordinary, and he naturally heard people's discussions clearly, and the old man on the stage said that this was a palace auction, focusing on the word palace, and he understood that this meant that he would retreat in difficulty.

What else to add stunning beauties, what else do you want to enrich the harem, you are a small auctioneer, and you dare to speak out on behalf of the royal family that the harem beauties are in a hurry, if no one instructs you, you don't dare to say such a thing.

The first time he bullied the young master to participate in the auction, he must have known that he didn't carry a beautiful painting scroll with him, but this time you were wrong.

"Hehe, thanks for the reminder. I got it in the next and I'll pay attention. Zhou Yang arched his hand to the auction table.

"Good, good. The old man sighed, this kid finally got acquainted, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to get off the stage.

"If Friend Ninety-Nine gives up this mask, then ......"

"Give up, why should I give up? When did I say I was going to give up?" Zhou Yang was stunned, he didn't say anything like that, this old man was too willing!

"You!" the old man was stunned, his face was blue and white.

He was going to say that you took the initiative to give up, but after thinking about it again, that person really didn't say to give up, but just said to pay attention, so that if you don't make yourself, aren't you a person inside and out!

"I'll pay 400,000! plus a stunning beauty. Zhou Yang then said again.

"Okay, okay, Ninety-Nine, do you dare to report your name!" Jiufu Ma is very angry, and he wants Zhou Yang to sign up, the meaning is already obvious, I can't move you in public, but after the auction is over, I'll see where you go.

He also knew that the ninety-nine in the audience was going to die to the end.

He has money, and there is naturally no shortage of beauties, but what he wants is face, just a mask, if he really buys it at a sky-high price, or in the palace, then this person will lose a lot.

Although the princess's wife likes it, she can't lose her royal face.

The old man on the stage was already sweating, his face was extremely ugly, and he said in his heart, this kid really doesn't know how thick the sky is, no matter how rich and powerful you are, can you compare to the royal family? You have nine lives and it's not enough to kill.

Zhou Yang looked at the old man with a smile.

"Nine attached horses, this, this ......"

"Hmph!" The Nine Attached Horses sat down again, snorting heavily, and the frightened old man trembled, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Continue the auction. At this time, the second prince said expressionlessly.
