Chapter 2 An Auction
Usually Boss Hu arrives at the store around 10 o'clock in the morning, and if he doesn't have any business, he leaves before noon.
It's not that Boss Hu is lazy, it's that a lot of his business is done privately, and the store is basically a warehouse and billboards, so he doesn't stay here if he has nothing to do.
As soon as Boss Hu entered the store this morning to make tea, I ran to him.
"Boss Hu, is there any way to get me an ID card?"
Boss Hu: "You don't have any supporting materials now, and you can't do it under normal circumstances." ”
"Alas, without an identity, I can't stay here for the rest of my life. I sighed.
Boss Hu: "Hehe, I didn't drive you away, you can't hold your breath yourself, what's the matter, in my place?"
Me: "I don't mean that, you have to have a dream to be a human being, and if you don't have a dream, you're a salted fish." ”
Boss Hu: "What are your dreams?"
Me: "I want to cultivate immortals!"
Boss Hu has a black line on his face, why did he bring up this topic again?
He put down the teapot in his hand: "I've told you many times about this, how can it be so easy to cultivate immortals, this is to pay attention to inheritance and fate, and it costs a lot to cultivate immortals, do you have money?"
Me: "..."
Boss Hu: "I can't accept you as an apprentice, let alone take you to practice." If you really have this ambition, you can go to the Federal Higher College, where there is an opportunity to start cultivating, but it is not easy to be admitted to a higher college, you have to be prepared. ”
Me: "Well, I found this on the Internet, so I want to get an ID card first, but now I don't have ID card information, and I can't even fill in the registration form." ”
When Boss Hu heard me say this, he patted his thigh and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll go back and think of a way for you from other channels, but in the future, you will bear the costs yourself." ”
Me: "No problem, I've been working with you for a year, and I'm also a person with a little bit of savings. ”
"Lao Hu, you're in the store, just right, discuss something with you. "It's Boss Wang next door who entered the store, he is also engaged in antiques, and he is also a monk, it seems that he is still the same brother as Boss Hu, and I didn't ask in detail.
Boss Wang looked at me next to me, smiled at me, and then turned his head and continued to say to Boss Hu: "Old Hu, there is a batch of goods auctioned on the seventh floor tonight, and it is said that this batch of goods is from the refining gate, and they are all magic weapons. ”
Boss Hu: "Aren't their things sold through specific channels?"
Boss Wang: "Yes, I can't buy it usually, it is said that someone poured out of the refining door for this batch of goods, and the way is not right, so I want to cash out as soon as possible." ”
Boss Hu: "Can things that come from the wrong way still be auctioned?"
Boss Wang: "You don't know this, I'll inquire, this time the auction party is Sanxian Pavilion, they negotiated the conditions of fifty-fifty sharing with the seller, and the seller did not come forward to buy and sell Sanxian Pavilion." ”
Boss Hu: "It turned out to be the Sanxian Pavilion, and only they dared to play like this, otherwise, the general sect organization was really afraid that the refining sect would make trouble." ”
Boss Wang: "How about it, do you want to go to Taobao Bei? Maybe you can pick up a leak." ”
Hearing Boss Wang say this, Lao Hu's heart was moved, no matter how you look at it, this is an opportunity to pick up leaks.
"That, Boss Hu, Boss Wang, can you also take me to see and see at night. I brought a new cup to Boss Wang on the side, and said while adding tea.
"What are you going to do?" Boss Hu didn't agree.
"I'm fine here, the night market has been canceled recently, and I'm suffocated to death when I stay in the house. "I just want to see and understand, if Boss Hu doesn't agree, I can't help it.
Who knew that Boss Wang was playing a round in the middle: "Lao Hu, you guy is usually diligent, and he is also clever when he looks at it, so it's nothing to take him to see and learn." ”
Lao Hu glanced at me, looked at Boss Wang, and said, "You see that Boss Wang has helped you speak, will you also clean the entrance of Boss Wang's store early tomorrow morning?"
I laughed and said, "That's a must!"
Originally, the antique shop was not very busy, and since the market was reorganized, few customers have entered the store all day long.
Lao Wang and Lao Hu made an appointment to leave at seven o'clock in the evening, and the two of them had nothing to do to meditate and practice, so I had to wait until seven o'clock.
The three of us are on the seventh floor in a floating car, which is a technological product with anti-gravity technology, it has no noise and can fly in the air like a helicopter.
Lao Hu and Lao Wang are monks, and I asked them if they could fly up without taking a car, and they laughed and said that it had to be cultivated in the Jindan period.
I don't know what the Jindan period of cultivation refers to, but listening to the tone of the two of them, this cultivation should not be low, at least neither of them has arrived, as for what kind of cultivation realm the two of them are now, I didn't dare to ask, this kind of question should be personal privacy, I think there will be a chance to speak again in the future.
The floating car flies in the air, and you can see the whole city through the window.
At night, the huge city is lit up everywhere, and now the city is the real sense of the word, with more than 100 floors of buildings everywhere, floating cars shuttling in the city, all kinds of giant projection advertisements are placed between high-rise buildings, and the three-dimensional urban layout makes the streets layer upon layer, and the flow of people coming and going between the floors.
On the floating island, it's a new sight!
The whole floating island is like a fairy mountain floating in the air, and all above the mountainside is hidden in the clouds, where it is the gate of the Sanxian Pavilion, and outsiders cannot enter and exit at will. Below the mountainside, there are buildings everywhere, and the style no longer takes the route of science and technology, but is antique. In these retro-style streets, there are all kinds of shops, doing business in the world of cultivating immortals.
I've been to the floating islands by myself before, and seeing these wonders again no longer has the freshness it had been, and now that night is falling, the stars are dotted, and the view is not the whole picture.
There are many floating islands like this in the sky above the city that is so big that it is boundless, and I have not counted the exact number.
The world of cultivating immortals advocates commercial freedom, and no matter how good the Sanxian Pavilion is, it can't finish the business in the world, so most of the shops here are not Sanxian Pavilion. Of course, the biggest and best shop here is, of course, Sanxian Pavilion Control, and the auction we went to participate in today was held at the Sanxian Pavilion trading house.
The Sanxian Pavilion Trading House is a magnificent building located in a prime location on this street. I thought that Lao Hu and Lao Wang were going to take me in through the gate, but who knew that they did not enter through the magnificent gate at all, but took a detour to find a small gate at the back.
When I entered the small door, two of the guards on duty asked, "You three together?"
Lao Wang replied: "Together." ”
"A deposit of 10,000 yuan per person, pay the number plate here, and return it when you appear. ”
When I heard that I had to pay 10,000 yuan, I was embarrassed to touch my pocket, I didn't bring any money.
Lao Wang was familiar with this process, and without asking for our opinions, he handed over the money and came back with three number plates.
"Take this number plate, don't shoot things blindly if it's okay, just take a look. Wang handed me a small plastic card-like object and gave me a word of advice.
Of course I don't shoot things blindly, do I have money?
Entering the auction hall, the three of us found a corner and sat down, and I looked around, the whole auction hall was the size of a basketball court, divided into two floors, and could accommodate about 500 people.
Without a long wait, the auction began.
I saw a man in a suit and tie walking towards the auction table, and with a wave of his hand, a light curtain appeared behind him, and on the light curtain was the logo of Sanxian Pavilion with a capital letter.
The man in the suit cleared his throat, and then said, "Fellow Daoists, I am the auctioneer of Sanxian Pavilion, and the work number is 19178. In advance, this auction should be low-key and simple at the request of the seller, the items auctioned this time are provided by the seller, we do not maintain the value of any items, the following auction begins, we look at the first treasure. ”
