Chapter 357: The Secret Book of Legends
......
"Hehe, Boss Qiu, you don't have to be polite, to be honest, the arrival of someone Xu today is also entrusted by the master. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Seeing Qiu Na speak, Xu Zhen replied to the people who had just left behind.
"Master?" said Jona.
Why did this alarm the person above?
The person above in everyone's hearts is naturally the king of the Feiyun Empire. Although Xu Zhen is the commander of the royal guard, and the royal guard is also an institution of the state, as long as people with some status know that this Xu Zhen usually does not call that person a king, he will only call that person a master. What does this mean? This shows that Xu Zhen's allegiance is not to the Feiyun Empire, but only to the king himself.
"Hehe, this time your meeting will sell the legendary secret book, it can be described as a grand event, the owner of his old man values it very much, and he is even more worried that some unscrupulous people will interfere with this grand event, so he sent Xu to take a look. Seeing that everyone was surprised, Xu Zhen smiled in his heart, and then said with a solemn face: "The master also said that if someone tries to misbehave, Xu can immediately punish him with national law, and there is no need to report it." ā
As he uttered the last sentence, the voice turned into countless invisible threads, permeating the hall that was large enough to carry thousands of people.
At the same time, everyone in the hall heard this, and thousands of eyes suddenly converged and looked directly at Xu Zhen's body.
The people in the hall were either rich or noble, but most of them were strong martial cultivators, and when they suddenly heard this, of course these people were not angry, so they all looked at the source of the voice with some anger.
"Hmph!" When everyone's eyes gathered, Xu Zhen snorted gloomily, although this sound was not loud, it made everyone's hearts tremble fiercely, and then cold sweat flowed.
Overmatch. A real powerhouse. Everyone thought of it for sure. Able to shock the countless powerhouses present with just his voice, obviously, Xu Zhen's strength is undoubtedly strong.
In an instant, the originally extremely noisy hall suddenly became silent. After glancing around, Xu Zhen slowly retracted his outgoing momentum, turned his eyes to Qiu Na again, and said with a smile: "Boss Qiu, don't worry, there is an old man, you can rest assured and boldly host this grand event today." ā
"Jona dared to ask Elder Xu to take Jona to the king to convey the gratitude of the people's women. Jona bowed slightly in thanks.
Upstairs, Ou Chuyang, who had been paying attention to the movements downstairs, did not feel the slightest inappropriateness because of Old Xu's shock, his eyes were always staring at the young man in front of Xu Zhen.
"That's him. Seeing this young man, Ou Chuyang's eyes involuntarily revealed a Ling Ran's killing intent, remembering that a few months ago, that is, when he had just cultivated his internal qi, he was knocked off the cliff by this person, and he almost lost his life.
When Ou Haopeng read their names one by one just now, in fact, Ou Chuyang didn't pay attention, but Luo Mingzhou's action downstairs happened to be facing upstairs, Ou Chuyang recognized it at once, and with the contraction of the former's pupils, unconsciously, a chilling killing intent quietly rose, wanting to fill the entire room.
The sudden burst of killing intent from the steep sense, the three people in the room were all startled, turned their heads to look for the source of the killing intent, and the three of them immediately found that this surging killing intent actually came from Ou Chuyang.
"What are you doing?" Ou Haopeng let out a low snort, grabbed Ou Chuyang's shoulders with a push, and shook it twice. Ou Chuyang's talent woke up from hatred.
Ou Chuyang didn't answer, he was suddenly woken up by Ou Haopeng, and then he realized that his actions almost alarmed the strong people downstairs. You must know that the people below are all strong people at the level of Wuzun, if Ou Haopeng doesn't stop himself in time, I'm afraid that after a while, the strong people downstairs will immediately find out that something is wrong above.
He gasped heavily, trying his best to calm down his mood, and after the murderous aura in the room disappeared, Ou Chuyang gave Ou Haopeng a reassuring look, signaled that he was fine, and sat down.
Seeing Ou Chuyang sit down, the three of them no longer looked downstairs, but gathered in front of Ou Chuyang, looking at the former in surprise.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Seeing Ou Chuyang's sudden appearance of murderous intentions, Tong Liang asked first.
"Boy, what are you doing?" asked Bai Li Fu with a frown.
"I'm fine, just remembering some of the past. Seeing the three of them staring at him suspiciously, Ou Chuyang could only smile bitterly and muttered.
"It's good that no one saw it. Tong Liang exhaled, although Ou Chuyang's murderous intent was a little thicker, it had not yet dispersed from this room.
"No one, others may not feel it, but he Ye Qiu feels it. Baili glanced at Tong Liang and said.
"Ye Qiu?" Ou Chuyang looked up and turned to the window.
"Don't look at it, he found that it's nothing, he doesn't know who we are at all, alas~, I'd better pull the curtains down. With that, Baili went to the window and lowered the curtains.
At this moment, everyone naturally understood that Ou Chuyang didn't want to say the reason, so he didn't continue to ask, only to hear Ou Haopeng suddenly say: "You stay here first, I'll go down, after all, our Ou family is here, and we have to say hello to Xu Zhen." ā
Ou Haopeng's words were said to Ou Chuyang, who nodded understandingly, and watched Ou Haopeng go downstairs.
Ou Haopeng went downstairs, met with Xu Zhen and others, exchanged a few words of greetings, and just when everyone was chatting, a gong suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Knock~"
Then the gong sounded, and the chaotic and noisy atmosphere in the hall suddenly stopped, and a group of noisy people sat down in their own positions one after another, and the voice of speech also plummeted to the extreme.
Hearing the sound of the gong, Jona no longer chatted with the many strong people downstairs, and after instructing a few maids to bring a cadre and others to her own private room, Jona also disappeared into the hall from a door.
"Tuk~"
Upstairs, outside the private room where Ou Chuyang and the others were, there was a knock on the door. Then, a handsome maid walked in with a silver platter.
After the maid entered the room, she gently put the silver plate on the table, and then said to the three of them with a smile: "Maid Dong'er, I have seen gentlemen. First of all, welcome gentlemen to Marin Auction House, this auction, Dong'er is responsible for serving a few people, the auction is about to start, if a few want to bid for any treasures, just tell Dong'er, in the bidding, don't work a few to speak, a few can rest. ā
Hearing the waiter Dong'er's self-introduction, Ou Chuyang and the others immediately understood that this maid was probably sent by Qiu Na to call a price for them.
Ou Chuyang nodded, and secretly praised Qiu Na's developed business mind, it seems that the fame of this Marlin auction house is not accidental, such an advanced business philosophy can be seen everywhere in Ou Chuyang's previous life, and when he arrived in this brave continent, he did not feel backward at all.
Seeing that several people were all understanding, Dong'er didn't continue to introduce, and said loudly: "Dare to ask which one is Mr. Ou?"
"Oh, I am?" Hearing Dong'er call his last name, Ou Chuyang couldn't help but reply with some astonishment.
Dong'er smiled, picked up a crystal card from the silver plate gently, handed it to Ou Chuyang and said: "This is what the boss specially ordered Dong'er to bring for Mr. Ou, there are 10,000 crystal coins in it, the boss said, if Mr. Ou likes any treasures, you can bid for it, this is her intention." ā
"10,000 crystal coins?" took the crystal card casually, Ou Chuyang couldn't help but gasp, and said secretly: "Aunt Na is really generous enough, this 10,000 crystal coins is equivalent to one million gold coins." It seems that she knew that she had no money and it was not good to give her things again, so she used this alternative method. ā
"Yo, it seems that Boss Qiu is really good to you. Bai Lifu, who didn't know the inside story, was also surprised and teased, with a strange brilliance flashing in his eyes.
On the side, Tong Liang didn't think so, because he knew that his boss had made a lot of efforts for Marin Auction House, and these could not be exchanged for only 10,000 crystal coins.
Lowering his head and smiling, Ou Chuyang said, "Okay, I don't know, when will the auction start." ā
Dong'er smiled lightly, slowly walked to the side wall of the room, and pressed her jade hand lightly, and then, a halo screen of about twenty inches immediately appeared in the eyes of several people. I only heard Dong'er say softly: "Mr. Ou, wait a minute, the auction will start soon." ā
"This is?" Looking at the screen in front of him with strange eyes, Ou Chuyang seemed to have seen some household appliances in his previous life.
"It's a crystal light curtain that captures a nearby scene from a short distance. Now what you see should be the front desk of the auction. Seeing that Ou Chuyang didn't understand, Baili Fu immediately explained to him.
"Uh" Ou Chuyang was dumbfounded, after listening to Baili Fu's explanation, Ou Chuyang understood what this was, and then looked at the strange eyes of several people, Ou Chuyang was speechless, it seems that these people all regard themselves as dirt buns.
As soon as Ou Chuyang finished speaking, Dong'er said patiently on the side: "When bidding for a while, a few people only need to tell Dong'er how many gold coins they will give." ā
Ou Chuyang looked at Dong'er, obviously, this Dong'er was afraid that Ou Chuyang would not understand, so he explained in depth again.
Ou Chuyang raised his hand, signaling that he understood, and Dong'er walked to the window and walked to the attic on the second floor.
To say, the design of Marlin auction is very humane, under the magnificent decoration on the second floor, in order to protect some important guests, in addition to the use of crystal screen to facilitate guests to watch the auction process at the same time, Marlin auction house also used the maid as a bidding helper, and deliberately set up a pavilion outside the window on the second floor where only one person sits, and this pavilion is obviously set up for the maid who shouts the price, so that the guests can bid with peace of mind, not to be seen the real face at the same time, but also shows its aristocratic status far beyond ordinary people. It can be seen that businessmen like Jona, who have already grasped people's vanity, can be seen from such meticulous thoughts.
"Knock"
Another gong sounded, and all kinds of crystals and lamps shining in the hall were turned off at the same time, and for a while, the hall was dark.
Although the hall suddenly fell into darkness, it did not cause a commotion among the people, on the contrary, at the same time as all the lights disappeared, the hall that was still a little whispering was completely quiet, at this moment, no one could hear the sound of words anymore, echoing in the hall, only the sound of the wheezing of different strengths and weaknesses.
"Knock"
The darkness only occupied for a short moment, and then, after the third gong, the lights of the auction front desk suddenly turned on, but this light only covered less than one-fifth of the center of the entire front desk, and under the illumination of this light, a white circle of light on the ground in the center of the front desk was particularly conspicuous.
As the lights of the front desk turned on, several hot and excited eyes in the hall shot at the luxurious front desk. Then, under the gaze of everyone, a chubby old man walked into the aperture. This person is one of the principals of the Marin auction house, Mayon.
At this time, Ma Rong, dressed in colorful brocade, was indescribably gorgeous and dazzling, and under the cooperation of his gentle and elegant demeanor, he was very noble.
Standing within the aperture, Ma Rong coughed lightly and said loudly: "Hello everyone, in Xia Ma Rong, I am the person who presides over this auction. First of all, I would like to welcome all of you to this auction event in your busy schedule, and on behalf of the Chamber, I would like to thank you for your support and love to the Chamber. Now, I officially announce that the auction has begun. ā
Without too much nonsense, after a brief opening remark, Ma Rong directly announced the official start of the auction. After Ma Rong shouted, the countless lights in the hall flashed again, and with the countless lights turned on, the auction hall was lit up again. The crowd, which had been suppressed for a long time, shouted thunderously as the lights were turned on.
At this moment, above the front desk, behind Ma Rong, four column-shaped booths of the same size slowly rose, and on these four pillar-shaped booths, there were four items such as scrolls, jade bottles, and classics. As everyone knows, the treasures that are being auctioned today are undoubtedly placed on these four booths.
Seeing the slowly rising booth, the applause and shouts that erupted from the audience became more intense, and even the countless greedy and enthusiastic eyes looked much brighter than the lights that illuminated the hall.
Pressing his palms down slightly, Ma Rong suppressed the shouts and hustle and bustle of the group, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be bored, please allow Ma Rong to introduce." ā
Hearing Ma Rong's voice, everyone in the venue quieted down very cooperatively.
Seeing that the hall returned to quiet, Ma Rong nodded happily and said: "This auction is the second major event in the history of our association, I believe that before, everyone has also heard of it, because of the convening of this event, I will spend countless manpower and financial resources, and I will collect a total of more than ten precious auction items through various channels." However, due to the time constraints of the auction, it is impossible for us to bring all the treasures to the front desk for auction, so after careful consideration, I have decided to set the number of lots for this sale at five. Now, you're looking at four of them. ā
