In the eyes of others, Zhou Zhiqiang is a big man and a big man on top. But in Ren Bufan's view, Zhou Zhiqiang is just a nouveau riche in a small place, just like the third level of the Beijing official university, he also looks at people at the third level.

"Don't say a word, it's on other people's territory. Lu Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said.

Ren Bufan's status is high, but in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person.

If you really want to provoke Zhou Zhiqiang, there are hundreds of ways to kill him quietly, but you don't have the courage to do it, and you don't have the need.

Ren Bufan was slightly startled, and then nodded obediently.

Lu Zheng's words just now were simple, but Ren Bufan could hear that he had already regarded him as his own.

After an opening statement, the auction is officially underway.

The presiding officer was a gray-haired, half-old man, in his sixties, wearing an old-fashioned robe and a riding coat, and a pair of round-rimmed glasses, like a teacher in the old society.

According to the people around him, the auctioneer who presided over was invited from Hong Kong City, and he has presided over hundreds of large-scale auctions and is a veteran in the industry.

After the auction began, two young beauties wearing bright red slit cheongsams came with boxes covered with red cloths.

The auctioneer skillfully tore off the red cloth, revealing the glass cover, inside which was a dragon jade pendant, faintly with slight cracks, everyone could see that it was definitely an antiquity with an age.

According to the historical records, the king of Chu was born, with a piece of jade in his mouth, and the old prince specially asked a famous craftsman to carve it into this piece of dragon jade pendant, from birth to burial, accompanied by the life of the king of Chu. "The auctioneer has long memorized the relevant information, just like telling a story.

I heard that it was a jade pendant worn by the prince of the Han Dynasty for a lifetime, and there is such a surprising legend, this piece of dragon jade pendant immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The rich people are itching and can't wait to start bargaining immediately.

For them, it doesn't matter whether the jade pendant itself is good or not, the key is that the prince has worn it before, it has the royal dragon energy, plus there are legends recorded in the history books, and the shape of the jade pendant itself is a dragon.

If they can wear it on their bodies every day, it will give them a sense of security protected by dragon veins.

"The Western Han Dynasty Panlong jade pendant, the starting price is 30 million, and the price must not be less than 1 million each time. The auctioneer looked around and shouted an astonishing price.

A small piece of jade pendant actually sells for 30 million, and it is only the starting price, God knows what the transaction price will be astronomical!

"Mr. Lu, what do you think of that dragon jade pendant? It's a beautiful jade brought from birth, and it's a good thing that the King of Chu has worn all his life, so it should be stained with some dragon energy, right?" Ren Bufan asked excitedly, and he also wanted this jade pendant.

Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "How can there be a newborn baby with beautiful jade in his mouth? It's just to beautify the identity of the King of Chu and create the illusion of a true dragon son of heaven." ”

"If my guess is correct, this king of Chu should have participated in the seizure of power, and failed, was given death by the emperor, and finally died young. On this piece of Panlong jade pendant, the yin qi is very heavy, and there is a deep resentment, obviously very unwilling to die. ”

"Think about it, in that kind of society, who can kill the king of Chu and let him die with hatred? This piece of dragon jade pendant, called a ghost weapon, is almost the same, entangled in the resentment and evil thoughts of the king of Chu. If you wear it every day, you can count it as lucky to live ten years less. ”

Ren Bufan was startled, and said with a dry smile: "This kind of ghostly ghost thing is left to them, and I want to live for a few more years." ”

However, those rich people were shouting very vigorously one by one, one million, two million, desperately raising the price, and finally being photographed by a bald fat man, a full 57 million.

After getting the dragon jade pendant, the bald fat man hung it around his neck on the spot, with a smug smile on his face, and thought he had bought a good baby.

The next few auction items are all strange things, what kind of beads the queen holds in her mouth, the relics of the Tibetan living Buddha, sapphires in Greek mythology, the north and the south, the whole world, the past and the present, almost everything.

The rich people in the audience are all looking for curiosity and showing off, and when anything comes out, they rush to ask for the price one by one, and they don't treat money as money at all.

"Next, it's this mysterious artifact that will be auctioned off!"

The auctioneer opened the box, wore white gloves with his hands, and carefully took out the auction item, which turned out to be a withered yellow old tree root.

"What the hell?"

"You guys fooling people, this thing can also be put up for auction?"

"Where did you pick up the old roots, are we really wronged?"

"Don't tell me, which emperor is using to make his own chrysanthemum **!"

"Yo, good idea, if it's the emperor's, I really want to buy it. ”

......

The rich people who participated in the auction were scolded one after another.

Everyone can see that this is an ordinary old tree root, and there is nothing strange about it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to finish. This is no ordinary tree root, someone brought it out of the Mayan pyramids in South America. It is said that the root of the tree was enshrined on the altar at that time, and it is thought that under the altar were thousands of dead bones, all of which were buried alive and used to sacrifice the root. ”

The auctioneer hurriedly introduced.

However, the following rich people did not buy it at all, they did not care about any Mayan pyramids, what human sacrifices were made. The appearance of this tree root alone is too ugly and ordinary, what can you do when you buy it? Is it embarrassing to put it at home?

Seeing everyone's reaction, the auctioneer sighed helplessly.

He also knew that this thing was not easy to auction, except that the origin was mysterious, it was indestructible, and no matter what method was used, it could not destroy the slightest thing.

It's a pity that no one will buy it, no one wants an old root, and it is impossible to pay a sky-high price for this thing.

"The starting price is 10 million, and each bid must not be less than 500,000!" said the auctioneer cheekily.

When discussing the starting price, he wanted to set it at five million, after all, this thing is too difficult to sell.

But the owner of the old tree root, what about their expedition team, for the old tree root to kill several people, at least 10 million, to meet the settlement fee of those teammates.

After the starting price was quoted, there was a boo below, and everyone was laughing, thinking that only a fool would spend 10 million to buy an old tree root.

Only Lu Zheng's eyes were deep, and in his eyes, there seemed to be a pitch-black demonic fire beating.

His lips trembled slightly, and he spat out a name that was enough to make everyone in the fairy world crazy - "World Tree Roots!"
