Chapter 36: The Auction (1)
Although most people are calm, this underground auction has expanded a lot compared to previous years, and there are more people, so it is inevitable that there will be those who are impetuous.
"Hurry up and get the second lot. Lao Tzu has to rush back to Bingzhou overnight, but he doesn't have the time to spend with you. The person who spoke was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, although he also wrapped a black cloth around his head in a good way, but he was wrapped too sloppily, not like a mask but like a black cloth turban, and his voice was very loud, as soon as he opened his mouth, the whole hall buzzed, and someone immediately recognized his identity.
On the terrace of VIP Hall No. 9 on the second floor, a young man with extraordinary bearing looked at the big man and frowned, "Why did you even let this kind of person in?"
"Brother Zheng doesn't know. Standing side by side with him was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said, "I also received the news not long ago, it is said that this auction has not only added hundreds of invitations, but also sent people from some neighboring countries. So this auction can be said to be unprecedentedly grand, and it is mixed. We'll have to be extra careful when the time comes. ”
This person known as Brother Zheng is naturally Zheng Tianling, who is known as falling into the trap, and the person who talks to him is Tang Qianzhi, who disappeared for no reason before. In fact, their current room is the one Tang Zixi stayed in before, but the difference between the front and back feet. Therefore, these two people did not know that Tang Zixi had been here.
Zheng Tianling bowed his head and said, "Then it's no wonder. It seems that this time Wuji Palace has lost its blood. ”
"Isn't it? Tang Qianzhi was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile, "So, we can still compete with the lots in front, and those secret weapons and the like that appear in the back are probably still in the bag of those major sects." ”
The corners of Zheng Tianling's mouth twitched, and suddenly the words changed: "By the way, how did you and Elder Lin meet?"
Tang Qianzhi smiled and said, "Elder Lin is a close friend of his father. That's all he said, and he was silent.
Zheng Tianling also didn't ask much. The two of them turned their gaze to the arena again.
The concubine on the stage didn't even raise her eyelids, and said in a salty and nonchalant manner: "If the Lord of Lei Shaobao can't wait, the door is on your right hand." ”
"Stinky girl!" Lei Ming, the big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, was choked by her fluttering words and almost had a seizure on the spot, but fortunately, the people next to him quickly grabbed him and whispered something.
Lei Ming raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that there were a number of ghost-faced people standing in some shadowed places, and there were several not far behind him.
Feeling several cold gazes behind him, he coughed lightly in line with the principle that a hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, and grinned: "It's not right for the sister-in-law to say that, old ...... I also paid the entrance fee in the next good treatment, and my old man is still waiting for me to bring back the 'Tiangang Fragment', how can I leave now. Although he deliberately lowered his voice and slowed down his tone a lot, he was reckless, and he was usually this virtue, and where could he pretend to be Sven for a while, because these words did not make people feel appropriate, but had a sense of nondescriptry.
Sure enough, his voice fell, and he immediately had a sharp voice and smiled: "It's like you can afford it." Do you think this is the countryside of Bingzhou, sweet potatoes are a penny and a basket?" The person who spoke originally intended to mock Lei Ming, but unfortunately the target was aimed crookedly, and one sentence offended several people.
Before the thunder broke out, a thin man Huo Ran turned his head to look at a corner somewhere, and said coldly: "Does Gang Master Tao mean that you are determined to get the 'Tiangang Fragment'?" Although this person was dressed as a man, his accent was a woman's voice, obviously a woman in disguise.
The person known as the Tao Gang Master laughed when he heard this, and said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Xiao, who has been admired for a long time." I didn't mean that in the next place, I was just a little dissatisfied with the thunder hammer sprinkled here. ”
"It turned out to be you!" Lei Ming ripped off the black cloth on his head, revealing a pair of big eyes like copper bells, and shouted, "Little rabbit cub, I haven't had enough of that fight yesterday, right?" ”
The Tao gang leader was obviously not afraid of things, and said unceremoniously: "I'm afraid you won't make it." ”
The concubine looked coldly at the few people who were arguing, and suddenly said, "Where is the law enforcement team?"
"Yes!" the ghost-faced men replied in unison.
These ghost-faced people who are responsible for maintaining order are the masters of Wuji Palace's thousands of choices, and this use of internal strength to shout in unison, not only those few people who quarreled, but also many people in the audience were also in their hearts, and many people with other thoughts suddenly dispelled some thoughts that they shouldn't have.
A young man who was meditating cross-legged in a VIP hall was even more shocked, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The wind fly waiting next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, how are you? Do you want to eat another one?"
Li Ling waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go out and see what's going on outside." ”
Wind flies nodded, turned and walked out.
"Slow down!" Lei Ming put on a defensive posture, looked at the two ghost-faced people who were approaching, and snorted angrily, "Since the concubine said so, then let's open the skylight and say something." Which of the people here is not a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for the "Tiangang Fragment", who would have run to this capital idle and nothing, and look at the face of a yellow-haired girl? In my opinion, just take out this thing directly, and then everyone will rely on their own abilities. At this point, he raised his voice and shouted at everyone, "Do you say that?"
He thought that he would get a response, but except for Gou Tang, who echoed excitedly and loudly, none of the others squeaked.
The concubine also looked at him coldly, and that kind of gaze like looking at an idiot stung the Lord of Lei Shaobao deeply.
"Tao Gang Master, Mrs. Xiao, Master You, Master Momen. Lei Ming was also decisive, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately went to win over the others, and named several names in one breath, even the enemies who had fought for tat before, and said, "Don't you want to see the "Tiangang Fragment" earlier?
It's a pity that there is still only his voice at the scene, and the person whose name is called is not even shaking.
"This Lei Shaobao is mainly out of luck. Qin Shuangyue, who was standing on the second floor watching the play, gloated with a gloating face, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the next door, but the terrace next door was also covered by the wire mesh as early as the beginning of the auction, and where could she see it clearly.
Ji Wuyi shook his head and said, "I don't think so." ”
Qin Shuangyue smiled: "Why don't we make a bet?" I bet that he will be thrown out by the concubine girl soon." ”
"Don't gamble, you lose. Ji Wuyi pointed to a certain place and said, "Do you see that person, it's the tall man in the northwest corner of the Lord of Lei Shaobao." ”
Hearing this, Qin Shuangyue curiously searched the crowd early, and sure enough, she found a man standing in the corner, this person was standing a little far away from the crowd, and his whole body was extremely tightly wrapped, not to mention his face, he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Chu Anchen, the genius of the Hidden Sword Villa. Ji Wuyi smiled and said, "Only this can make this group of reckless men from the north bow down to their orders." It's just that he is a little anxious with this move, and if he lets Lei Ming wait a little longer, it is estimated that the effect will be better. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to play this scene in vain. ”
"He is Chu Anchen. Qin Shuangyue looked at the tall man curiously, who knew that the other party suddenly raised his head to look at this side, although he couldn't see through the silk mesh, but his eyes were precisely locked on the two, and he raised his right hand to make a strange gesture.
"I'm not to blame, I'm glad to be!" Ji Wuyi smiled faintly.
"Can he see us?" Qin Shuangyue said in surprise: "Isn't this shark wire net claimed to be able to isolate sight and sound?"
Ji Wuyi smiled and said, "It seems that in the next martial arts conference, there will be a place for the Hidden Sword Villa." ”
At this moment, the concubine finally raised her eyelids, but instead of looking at Lei Ming, she looked somewhere else, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
The people who had been paying close attention to her followed her gaze, only to see a tall figure appear at the entrance that was originally empty.
The man was about forty years old, wearing a gray gown, his face was quite weathered, and the eyes under the thick eyebrows were not angry and arrogant, so that people could know at a glance that the identity of the comer was extraordinary.
Qin Shuangyue, who was silently watching upstairs, exchanged a surprised look with Ji Wuyi, obviously they all knew each other.
When Zheng Tianling saw the appearance of the person who came, he directly exclaimed: "Dad!"
"Gang Master Zheng!" the concubine got up and saluted, and said with a smile, "Concubine-in-law has been waiting for a long time!"
Many members of the crowd also stood up, and although they did not speak, their respectful attitude showed that the prestige of the person who came was extremely high in their minds.
The person who came was Zheng Xuan, the leader of the world's first Cao Gang, who smiled at the woman on the stage and walked slowly across the crowd towards the high platform. After standing in front of the desk, he first hugged his fists at the people in the audience, and said loudly: "You have to wait for a long time." I encountered a little trouble on the way, but fortunately I didn't lose my life. With that, he took off the burden on his back and took out a long bamboo tube and a mysterious black box.
He waited for the commotion below to gradually calm down, and then picked up the bamboo tube and said with a smile: "Don't talk much, I think people who know the goods have already recognized it, this is one of the finale lots of this auction - "Tiangang Fragment". Speaking of this, he held the black box in his hand and said with a smile, "As for this Zheng, if you don't reveal it first, you might as well guess what it is first?" After speaking, he nodded to his sister-in-law, took two steps back and stood beside him.
Not all of the people in the audience came alone, there were many sects that came with more than one person, and even if there were people who came with them to talk in a low voice, their voices were extremely low, and many of them even used the superior martial arts of transmitting sound into the secret. Although there are many people who speak, it is not as noisy as Lei Ming before. And Lei Ming also quieted down the moment Zheng Xuan appeared, firstly, because of Zheng Xuan's prestige, and secondly, because of Chu Anchen's order. As for Chu Anchen, the mastermind behind the scenes, he didn't know when he had blended into the crowd and disappeared.
Ji Wuyi looked at the black box, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, and he frowned: "You are looking for it in the lot list, what is this?"
"I've found it, no!" Qin Shuangyue, who was immersed in looking at the album, raised her head and said, "The finale lot written here is the Tiangang Fragment and the Soul Refining Furnace. It may be that they changed the lot temporarily. ”
