Chapter 42: The Auction (Part II)

The host pulled the sword out of its scabbard, the body of the sword was like autumn light, the cold was pressing, it was really a sharp sword. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The host waved his hand first, and all these boxes were chopped up; The host waved his sword again and cut off all these weapons. Then he found another subordinate and slashed a sword in his hand, and the blood under that man's hand spurted wildly, but the sword body did not carry this blood. The subordinate spurted blood wildly but did not snort, pressed the bleeding point with his hand, stepped down by himself, and walked to the backyard.

The host put the sword into the sheath and said: "The name of this sword is Tiangang, it is three feet seven inches long, and weighs eight catties and thirteen taels (in ancient times, it was one catty and sixteen taels). There are advantages of cutting iron like mud and cutting gold and jade. This sword has spirituality, although the sword body is not stained with blood, but every time it is unsheathed, it needs to drink blood to enter the sheath, otherwise it will be greatly disadvantageous to the person holding the sword. The price of this sword starts at 100,000 taels, and the price is 10,000 taels each time. ”

Ximen Qing and Huang Xiaoqiang made a joke, "You said that this sword statue is not like the Yitian Sword in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?"

"It's like, but it's a little overbearing, and it doesn't go into the sheath without blood. Huang Xiaoqiang replied.

Ximen Qing smiled after hearing this, "When did you become so kind, you want to be a bodhisattva." The rivers and lakes are dangerous, murderous everywhere, either you kill me or I will kill you, it is impossible not to see blood. If you really can't bear to be a killer, it's a big deal to not get out of the sheath, and you can win with your kung fu. After speaking, Ximen Qing raised his hand, "I'll give 200,000 taels." ”

"Do you want this sword? Didn't you say you didn't know martial arts?" asked Huang Xiaoqiang.

Ximen Qing was a little speechless: "I won't use it, you will use it, it just so happens that your sword is not broken." And this kind of sword is better in the hands of a great good man like you than in their hands to poison sentient beings. yes, when did you become so stupid again?"

Huang Xiaoqiang thought about it, it is true, this sword is in his own hand, and it is only used to do chivalrous and righteous deeds, just like Sima Fa said, killing people and reassuring people, killing them, attacking their country and loving their people, attacking them, stopping the war with war, although fighting can also be. I am indeed too inflexible sometimes, and my indecisive personality has too much influence on me.

Bei Shenhai was dissatisfied with Ximen Qing's bidding, and wanted to add money to provoke himself. But Bei Mingchen next to him grabbed him and blamed: "Brother Ximen was so angry just now that he gave us this Xuantie, otherwise you can buy it for 50,000 taels? "The North Stygian Sea has always listened to the words of his younger brother, and he was unwilling but agreed, and it was difficult to sit in his position.

Nangong Xun on the side got up and said, "I'll give 250,000 taels." ”

Ximen Qing looked a little angry, and thought to himself, what is this Nangong asking for, don't you know if I want this sword? ”

The others were in an uproar, everyone felt that the four major families had something to discuss, Ximen Qingyi said 200,000 taels, saying that he wanted this sword very much, and no one should go with him to grab it, but who knew that the second son of the Nangong family stood up and said that he wanted it more. When everyone thought that they would make concessions to the bidding for the piece of dark iron, Ximen Qing continued to bid. Isn't this the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and his family started fighting. "There's a good show to watch. Others thought.

Nangong Xun glared at Ximen Qing and thought, "This sword is used as a gift on my father's birthday, and I must buy it." If you don't grab it today, the limelight will be compared, where will the face of the Nangong family go, and how else will he be a person in Nangong Inquiry. Said to Ximen Qing, "Second Brother Ximen, I am going to decide on this sword today, and I will compete no matter what." Three hundred and fifty thousand taels. ”

"Wow. Others exclaimed, Nangong Xun is not declaring war on Ximen Qing when he speaks like this. The host was very happy in his heart, it was originally a plus of 121,000 taels, but now it is a plus of 50,000 taels, so his income is also higher.

Ximen Qing glanced at Huang Xiaoqiang, sighed, and said, "Brother Xun, I also have to buy this sword, you will give it to me today, and he will definitely come to the door to apologize for his sins one day." I'll give 400,000 taels. ”

As soon as he said this, Ximen Qing's provocation to Nangong Xun was accepted. Everyone felt that Ximen Qing was indeed gentle and elegant, not as domineering as Nangong Xun, and naturally had a little more good impression in their hearts. Originally, the goods were bid, and the one with the highest price got it, which was justified, but Ximen Qing felt ashamed. Everyone sighed in their hearts that Ximen Qing deserved to be the head of the family.

Huang Xiaoqiang was also uneasy in his heart, Ximen Qing was doing this for him.

Nangong Xun thought that Ximen Qing would retreat, but he didn't want it to backfire, and he still felt that Ximen Qing was provoking. "Second Brother Simon, do you have to be like this? Okay, I'll give 450,000 taels. ”

Ximen Qing shook his head and was about to continue bidding, but Huang Xiaoqiang stopped him and persuaded: "Big brother, I understand your kindness." There's no need to let the two of you big families tie the knot for me, forget it, let it be to him. ”

At the same time as Huang Xiaoqiang spoke, the host looked at Ximen Qing, and was quite expecting Ximen Qing to continue bidding, so the speed of speaking was deliberately slow, "Okay, the second son of the Nangong family bid 450,000 taels to buy Tiangang Sword, and no one else bids higher?

"Brother, don't you really want such a good sword?" asked Ximen Qing quietly.

On the other side, Nangong Xun was a little impatient, urging the host, "Hurry up, no one can compare with the price offered by Young Master Ben, hurry up and knock your hammer." Everyone thought to themselves, this Nangong Xun is too presumptuous to speak, although he and Ximen Qing are the same generation, but Ximen Qing is now the head of the family, the master of his Nangong family is always his father Nangong Xuan, and he still has two brothers, he can't compare with Ximen Qing alone. Everyone looked at Ximen Qing, expecting Ximen Qing to refute Nangong Xun's provocative words.

But Ximen Qing has been sitting there without moving, quietly drinking tea. Because Huang Xiaoqiang did say that he didn't care too much about this sword, and he didn't want Ximen Qing to make it difficult. Ximen Qing nodded in agreement, and then gave the sword to the Nangong family. Although Huang Xiaoqiang doesn't want to have conflicts between the four major families, in fact, the four major families today are not what they used to be, and the contradictions between the families have already been planted, but the fuse has not yet fully arrived.

Seeing Ximen Qing's expression and movements, the host sighed, knowing that Ximen Qing had no idea about this sword, "Okay, no one has bid higher, 450,000 21! 450,000 22 times! 450,000 23 times! Then he applauded Nangong Xun a few times, and then said: "Today's bidding will end here, and the bidders who have begun to auction these treasures are invited to go to the back hall to pay." The next auction will still be in half a month, and we'll meet in half a month. ”

The host withdrew, and the song and dance performance reappeared on the stage. Nangong inquired, Bei Stygian and other buyers walked to the back hall. The two of them both smiled at Ximen Qing, Bei Shenhai's expression was full of joy, while the smile on Nangong Xun's face was full of mockery. Ximen Qing didn't care at all, and continued to taste the good tea in his cup.

Bei Mingchen walked to Ximen's side to comfort him, "Brother Ximen, I guess it should be Uncle Nangong's sixtieth birthday approaching, and Brother Nangong should buy this sword as a gift for Uncle Nangong." Please also remember his filial piety, and don't take his actions to heart just now. ”

Ximenqing nodded, "Chen, don't you understand me, how can I be angry, small things." ”

Seeing that Ximen Qing was fine, Bei Mingchen was relieved, he was the real buyer, and accompanied this Ou Yezi to the back hall to see the Xuantie.

Ximen Qing and the other four were naturally not interested in the singing and dancing after the stage, and after settling the account, they got up and went home. In an inconspicuous corner, looking at everything that happened at the auction, he showed a weird smile and said to himself: "The master is really clever." ”
