Chapter 41: The Deal Behind the Scenes

Although she said it firmly, everyone in the hall still talked about it. Whether they knew each other or not, they all argued fiercely in their voices.

The scene seems to be a mess, but in fact, it is mainly divided into two factions: one faction naturally believes in the concubine and chooses to stay in the hall to watch, and even a few people still have the idea of fighting, after all, this thing is different from others, even if it is grabbed and presented to the court, it is a great achievement; the other faction advocates leaving immediately, not involving some senseless fights, because this thing is a hot potato, and whoever gets involved is unlucky. Only a few of them sat upright in their seats, indifferent to everything around them, just staring intently at the woman on the stage, or rather, at the black box in her hand.

"Calm down, everyone!" Just as the scene was getting out of hand, a deafening voice rang out in everyone's ears, and the rumbling echo rolled through the hall over and over again, quickly muffling out all the noise.

Everyone looked at Zheng Xuan, who was standing beside his concubine in surprise, obviously knowing that Fang Cai's shouting was from him.

I only heard him continue: "Listen to the girl!"

The concubine nodded at him and said, "These two guests are right, the other finale lot prepared by the conference is indeed the Soul Refining Furnace, but due to various reasons, the Soul Refining Furnace can no longer be auctioned. In order to apologize, the conference decided to take out this tiger talisman for auction after asking for instructions. She didn't dwell too much on the matter of changing lots, but changed her words, "I think everyone here has heard a little about the 'Tiger Talisman Theft Case' that happened in Black Sand Country a few months ago. Li Yuansheng was placed under house arrest precisely because he lost the Tiger Talisman, which caused great changes in their country, which saved Great Qin from a military disaster. ”

Her guidance was very successful, and the old woman who asked the question before immediately said: "Could it be that this is ......"

The concubine nodded slowly and said, "Yes, this tiger talisman is the one that Li Yuansheng lost, so you don't have to worry about anything else." Of course, if no one dares to participate in the auction, the conference will naturally sell this tiger talisman to the imperial court, and the price will naturally not be low at that time, but you will lose a great opportunity. ”

"It's just too deceitful!" Qin Shuangyue also reacted, he never expected that this underground auction would be so bold, and he would dare to put the tiger talisman up for auction, wouldn't they be afraid of provoking a dispute between the two countries and bringing great trouble, thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and say, "Brother Ji, do you dare to go with me for this experience?"

Ji Wuyi waved his hand, pointed somewhere and said, "It's not that simple. ”

Qin Shuangyue realized that there were many more men with bulging waists in the hall at some point, looking at the bulging shape, it was obvious that it was a powerful crossbow with strong attack power, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Could it be that this is a trap?"

"Let's take a look!" Ji Wuyi had already calmed down from his initial anger, and a ray of light shot out of his slightly narrowed eyes, "If it really comes to that point, I will naturally not be polite." ”

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was very strange. No one expected such an anachronistic thing to appear in an ordinary auction, and some people who had just come to see it began to move their minds. Because these people are mixed, not only the Daqin people, but also the Xiliang people, the Wuhuan people, the Gucang people, and even the Tatars from Mobei. That's why this eerily quiet scene has come about.

In the end, it was the old woman who said: "With all due respect, even if there is a chance, it is naturally those big sects, and even if we small sects get such things, they will only cause destruction." ”

Her words obviously hit the hearts of some people, and some people immediately echoed them.

"What the pious mother-in-law said is that we, the small sects, will not participate, and ask the girl to let us go first!"

"By the way, please turn on the mechanism and let me wait one step ahead!"

"I don't want to wade into this troubled water. Turn on the trap!"

"Turn on the trap!"

......

The concubine looked at everyone coldly, and waited until the voice gradually subsided before she spoke: "Everyone, if you don't think about the disciples under your door, you must also think about yourself. Could it be that you are willing to be subordinate to others forever, and you will always be the head of an unpopular sect?" Speaking of this, he looked directly at the old woman before him, and said, "Granny Qian, you used to be a figure who commanded the party, but now you are being chased and killed everywhere like a lost dog, are you willing? The hatred of taking the husband was forgotten so quickly?"

The old woman snorted angrily and turned her head, and said, "This is the old woman's business, you don't need to care!" She was obviously a little afraid of this woman in her heart, otherwise she would have done it with her temper.

The concubine tugged at the corners of her mouth and said: "Today, the emperor has issued a holy decree, if there is a person who offers a tiger talisman, regardless of his status, he will give it to the marquis of ten thousand households, and he will also let him stay in the library of the palace for a full year." ”

"Really?" a person shouted in a hoarse voice, "I heard that the "Returning to the Ruins Sword Book" was recovered by Jin Wuwei a few years ago, but I wonder if it can be in the library pavilion?"

"You'll have to find it yourself. The concubine immediately took over and said, "But I also heard that the library of the palace is not ordinary, not to mention a mere copy of the "Returning to the Ruins Sword Book", which is all kinds of authentic and unique books you want. I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will feel that a year is too short. ”

Her words are too demagogic, although these people in the rivers and lakes don't care about the reward of the marquis of ten thousand households, but the temptation behind is fatal, they practice martial arts, in order to get ahead, to become the top master of the dominant side? Otherwise, how could they rush here for a copy of the "Tiangang Fragment".

In the eyes of these people, if they can stay in such a place for a year, let alone dominate one side, what is the difficulty of becoming the few people at the top of the tower? The atmosphere in the arena heated up again.

At this moment, an untimely voice said coldly: "In that case, why don't you offer it yourself and bring this thing to the auction?

She glanced at the person who spoke, and saw that it was a tall man wrapped in a black robe, she remembered that this was the guest surnamed Chu who was 601, and the reason why she remembered it so clearly was because only 600 numbers were arranged for this conference, and the extra one was added temporarily, and it was also sent by Jing Weng himself.

She didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying, "This guest is right, it is indeed more convenient for us to present ourselves to the imperial court. Speaking of this, a hint of arrogance appeared in his eyes, "But there is one thing he said wrong, our Wuji Immortal Palace has never taken these martial arts classics into account. As she spoke, a flame burst from her fingertips, and the golden flames made her face a little weird.

Before anyone else could react, her lips squirmed a few times, and the flames suddenly changed form and jumped on her fingertips, like a bird and a fish......

Almost at the same time as the flames appeared, the middle-aged man in the cave suddenly opened his eyes and said to Jing Weng, who was also meditating with his eyes closed, "Jing Weng, are we in a bit of a hurry?"

Jing Weng raised his eyelids and said, "Why not?" Li Xiao just asked us to help him lure out those people and catch them all, but he didn't stipulate any method to use. This tiger talisman is the best introduction. Qingying, you're a little too cautious. ”

The middle-aged man's name was Zhuo Qingying, who was the organizer of the underground auction, and shook his head when he heard this: "I'm not worried about Li Xiao's reaction, no matter how high and powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person." I'm just worried that our blatant display of the martial arts we practice in this way has already seriously broken the rules, will it cause that person's dissatisfaction? If that person receives the news and comes to the door, I'm afraid that our whole palace will not be an opponent combined. It's really ...... then."

"There's no way around that. Jing Weng also shook his head and sighed, "Qingying, the palace master doesn't have many days left, if we can't find that destined person as soon as possible, I'm afraid that if we can't wait for that person to come to the door, the entire Wuji Immortal Palace will be dragged into nothingness." ”

Zhuo Qingying was shocked when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't I send someone to send a few Yin Spider Inner Dan back?

Jing Weng shook his head and said, "Although the Yin Spider Inner Pill has a miraculous effect, it can only delay for a few more days, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem. ”

Zhuo Qingying said with a sad face: "Isn't there no other way?"

Jing Weng shook his head and said, "The last time the palace master gave instructions was a month ago, and his voice was already very weak at that time. That's why I'm bringing my sister-in-law this time. Among this group of disciples, she is the only one who can barely control a small wisp of golden flame, which can be regarded as helpless in a hurry. ”

Zhuo Qingying was silent for a long time when she heard this, and finally just sighed and lowered her eyelids silently, obviously in a very heavy mood.

The concubine's ears in the auction hall moved slightly, and she put away the flame with satisfaction, and said, "This is the martial arts that our Wuji Immortal Palace has learned, so these martial arts classics you are fighting for are of no use to us at all. ”

"I don't know how to practice this martial art?" as she expected, and sure enough, someone began to ask.

The concubine did not hide it, and said: "This guest must be participating in our auction for the first time, and it is understandable that I don't know! In fact, every year we will look for someone with the right roots to join Asgard, if you are interested, I will arrange relevant tests after the auction is over." Now, I would like to invite you to make your bids. A tiger talisman with a reserve price of 500,000 taels of gold. ”

This time, before she could finish speaking, someone raised a sign. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she looked at the person holding the sign, because this person was the 601 guest who said that he was not a fool before. However, she still reported loudly: "The six hundred and one guest bid 550,000 taels...... Okay, the three hundred and twenty-sixth guest bid 600,000 taels ......"

Once again, the auction went on in a decent manner.
