Chapter 31: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
The thin monkey looked at the stone door in front of him, took out the night order, stepped forward, and stuffed the night order through a crack in the center of the stone gate. Then, the stone door slowly opened, and on each side of it stood a person wearing a bull's head and a horse's face. Suddenly, a lively picture of the hustle and bustle of the market in front of them also appeared in front of Yang Ye and the others.
The thin monkey waved for a few men to follow him, and they all walked in. "Can the night order be used once?Is it bull head and horse noodles that open the door?Is it true or fake?" This time it was replaced by a lotus flower, and these days Japan complained that there was nothing fun in this Qingcheng, and now seeing this scene like this, he happily asked the thin monkey.
The thin monkey was also stunned, and said: "The night order can only be used once, and it must be returned to Yudu after coming in, and you can buy it back or buy it from someone else when it is over." Of course, the price of buying from someone else will naturally be much higher than the price of this soup, and as for the bull head and horse noodles, of course it is, really!" Lotus had listened carefully, and with a frightened start, she hugged Cuiyun who was walking beside her, and Cuiyun glared at the thin monkey viciously through the mask.
The thin monkey smiled and waved his hand and turned around, Yang Ye kept walking quietly without speaking, and even closed his eyes, after walking for a while, Yang Ye laughed softly: "The whole house is actually built under the ground of this Qingcheng and on the riverbed, using the backflow of the groundwater and the moat to form a driving force, and it has been moving at an extremely slow speed. Skinny monkey, that's why you just said that sentence above, right? ”
When the thin monkey heard this, he couldn't help but look around Yang Ye and said, "Big brother can't help but be superb in martial arts, and this brain is also amazing! The thin monkey said excitedly, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Yang Ye was also too lazy to pay attention to him, and said: "Judging from such a big stroke, the forces behind this ghost city in this capital are even more reasonable, and it seems that it is not easy to do it in this city of Xudu." ”
When the thin monkey heard Yang Ye's words, he almost jumped up in fright, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't mess around, aren't you just here to come and see? Why do you still want to do it, I can tell you, not only does the Tang Sect in Shuzhong have it as a helper behind this Xudu, but even the Luo family in the White Emperor organ city has an inexplicable relationship in it, don't hurt the little brother!"
The thin monkey said to himself, Yang Ye ignored him, turned his head to Cuiyun and said, "If there is really any news about the persecution of the person in your family, we should wait until we get out of this ghost market before we do it." Cuiyun also nodded when he heard this, but the thin monkey didn't say with a sour stomach.
At this time, a burst of drums suddenly sounded in the center of the ghost city of Xudu, and a thick voice came: "At the moment of the hour, the hundred ghosts are traveling at night, please move to this palace of the king of Hades, and the auction of the capital will start immediately." After saying this, the pedestrians on the streets of the ghost market, which were still bustling, walked towards the high-rise building where the sound was heard.
The thin monkey touched the Eight Treasure Jade Pagoda on his back and said, "Let's go, the auction is about to start." With that, he also led Yang Ye and them over.
It is said that it is the palace of the king of Hades, but in fact it is a hollow building, entering the building, except for a few elegant rooms on the second floor covered by a curtain, there is not even a seat on the first floor, only a stage in the middle is left. When the thin monkey arrived inside, he handed over his Eight Treasures Jade Pagoda to a man in black, and after explaining a few words, he led Yang Ye again, and they found a place where there were not many people to stand. Looking at the men and women wearing various masks and hats in this hall, there is really a posture of a hundred ghosts walking at night.
After a while, an old woman slowly walked from the back hall to the center stage, accompanied by two coughs, she said softly: "The old man is the person in charge of this auction, the rules will not be said, as usual, the highest price will win." If you don't have any opinions, then you will be invited to the first treasure, Jiaolong Dinghaizhu, the starting price, five million taels. ”
Yang Ye sighed in his heart after hearing it, let alone five million taels, he had never seen five hundred thousand taels. This is not enough, only this first lot, Jiaolong Dinghaizhu, if I remember correctly, it is the rumored Jiaolong eye bead in the East China Sea.
Yang Ye was sighing, only to see a beautiful woman, holding a brocade box from the back hall to the old woman, the old woman didn't say much, she opened the lid of the brocade box with her hand, and suddenly an invasive cold air hit the entire hall. I saw the old woman pointing to the blue jade beads in the brocade box and said: "This is the Jiaolong Dinghai Pearl, which is transformed by the dragon eye beads of the East China Sea, and turns into ice when it encounters water, which is extremely cold." Although it has no effect on taking it, it is of great benefit to the cultivators of the cold system exercises, and it can even be made into a secret weapon, which is also a good thing, everyone, please bid. ”
As soon as the old woman's words were played, someone in the crowd shouted the price, "Six million taels!", "I will pay six and a half million taels!", "Seven million taels!", "I, I am eight million taels!"
Yang Ye looked at these people shouting one after another, but he was thinking about something else in his heart, and said to the thin monkey in a low voice: "If I have heard a thing or two about the other effects of this Jiaolong Dinghai Pearl, but I can actually come up with a secret weapon made of this thing, it is really surprising, it turns into ice when it meets water, and it turns into ice when it meets blood, this is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The thin monkey heard Yang Ye's admiring tone, and said with a smile: "That's not, sometimes you can't understand the treasure yourself, this auction house can tell you a source." I heard that the treasure connoisseur is an elder of the White Emperor Organ City, this is just the beginning, and there is your long-eyed treasure behind it. ”
Yang Ye listened to the smugness of this thin monkey, and he didn't bother to say anything, just said flatly: "Is there an auction on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month? ”
When the thin monkey heard Yang Ye say this, he suddenly stood up and whispered: "Today is when we catch up, isn't it because of the half of July, it's Halloween, which is equivalent to the New Year in this drunken capital, and usually it is just open to those small businesses outside just now, and it is auctioned for one day a year." As for my Eight Treasures Jade Tower, you can see it later. Listening to the thin monkey's obvious concealed words, Yang Ye didn't ask too much, and quietly looked at the auction again.
"Ten million taels!" As the words came from the private room on the second floor of the auction hall, everyone in the hall on the first floor muttered a little. The old lady saw that no one had any intention of continuing to increase the price, so she said: "The distinguished guest in the private room on the second floor bid 10 million taels, is there anyone else who continues to increase the price?"
After the old woman asked a few times and no one bid, she smiled and closed the brocade box of Jiaolong Dinghaizhu, and said: "Since there is no one to bid, then this Jiaolong Dinghaizhu belongs to the distinguished guests of the private room on the second floor." Next, let's auction the second treasure, "Sand Sword: Ten Sons Danqing". As she spoke, the old woman motioned to the girl holding the Jiaolong Dinghai Pearl brocade box to go down, but after a while, a woman with a Danqing scroll came up again.
The old woman pointed to the unopened picture scroll and said: "This is the work of Hu Liusha, a famous swordsman outside the Guan, identified by our treasure master, which contains Hu Liusha's seventy-two swordsmanship moves, the starting price, six million taels, everyone, please bid." ”
"Six and a half million taels!"
"I'll give 6,800,000 taels!
......
For Yang Ye and the others, they didn't bid anyway, so they watched the so-called treasures being auctioned away by different people, and the young son of the unicorn that Yang Ye had always remembered in his heart had never been related to anything, even if there was nothing with a unicorn or a lin, which once made Yang Ye think that he was not being played by the Tsing Yi Building.
"The next treasure is quite interesting, please see. The old woman said, with her hand to uncover the cloth covered by the girl next to the girl's hand, Yang Ye looked, this is not the thin monkey's Eight Treasures Jade Tower, if it was changed to the beginning, Yang Ye really felt precious and beautiful, but he had already seen so many treasures at the auction in this Xudu City, and now he looked at it, how could he feel that this Eight Treasures Jade Tower was ordinary.
When everyone in the hall saw that it was a more expensive Eight Treasure Jade Tower, they also muttered a little disappointed. I saw that the old woman just smiled, and said lightly: "This is an eight-treasure jade pagoda from the tomb of Princess Suiyang three hundred years ago, but today I don't sell this, but." As soon as the old woman spoke, the Eight Treasure Jade Pagoda in her hand shattered instantly, and a golden Danzhu floated in the air.
Everyone looked at it for a moment, and then someone also recognized the thing and shouted excitedly, "Fuyao Zhu Yan Dan!"
The old woman on the stage only smiled when she heard this, and said: "Yes, the next thing to be auctioned is the thing that this woman is fascinated by, the method of eternal youth, according to legend, it is practiced by the immortals above the nine heavens, and the starting price is 20 million taels, everyone, please." ”
