Chapter 547, Treasure Auction
For the first time, the toad was a little surprised, and said, "Aren't the three of you here for the auction in the city?
"Auction?" Luo Xiaocheng seemed interested.
Shi Yunyang said: "We are only here for a temporary stay, and we will leave for the Spirit Realm Phantom Palace tomorrow." "Shi Yunyang once heard Su Ling'er say that the territory where the King of All Souls lived was called the Spirit Realm Phantom Palace. It is located in the heart of Zhongling Prefecture. At this time, since I said it, I will mention it in passing.
The toad shopkeeper touched the golden abacus and said, "It turns out that a few of them are still related to the Phantom Palace, so they are really distinguished guests." The three guest officers stayed in peace, and after a while, they made two pots of good tea and sent them to the three guest officers. ”
Luo Xiaocheng waved his hand again and again and said: "The shopkeeper's heart is kind, the tea will be free, if there is wine, it is still good." ”
"This guest officer is really bold, there are some wines in the shop, green bamboo brewing, cold spring incense, October laurel, Oriental white, half epiphany snow lotus, and this" The toad shopkeeper counted one by one, and Luo Xiaocheng listened to it with a heart. I'm afraid that if I continue to listen, I will soon fly into the sky. Half of my saliva flowed, so I hurriedly stopped.
"Shopkeeper, haha, this, the East is white, it's good, but the other wines also sound comfortable. I just listen to you, my heart is itching, and after a while, you will tell me that you will get a little bit of everything in your wine and send it to my room, and you can rest assured that you will never eat and drink in vain. ”
The toad shopkeeper said with a smile: "It turns out that the guest officer is a high roller in the wine, fortunately, I will be lucky, rest assured, I will be objectively satisfied." After that, he laughed opposite Luo Xiaocheng.
Shi Yunyang said: "What did the shopkeeper say about the auction, what is the situation. ”
The toad shopkeeper patted his head and said, "It's far away from that, today is the auction of rare treasures held by the Chiba family, the richest man in the Dragon Vein Valley, and people from all walks of life gather here in order to find a treasure they like." I heard that the treasures of the Six Realms can be found here, and a few guest officers may wish to try their luck, if they have some money to spare, they can also take pictures of something they like or valuable. ”
Luo Xiaocheng suddenly realized: "So that's the case, it sounds pretty good." He looked up at Shi Yunyang and Ran Tianluo, and said, "You two, are you going?"
Ran Tianluo said: "We will definitely go, but we have just come out of the dragon vein, and your loss before is not small." It's better to go back to their rooms and rest for a while, and then we'll come out after breakfast. ”
Luo Xiaocheng smiled: "It turns out that the girl is hungry, okay." The shopkeeper brother, please prepare a few side dishes, and then serve a few jars of wine, and today the big brother will have a treat. Luo Xiaocheng patted his chest and turned around to find a place to sit down.
Shi Yunyang said: "Brother Luo, this is not necessary, I will tie the knot." ”
Luo Xiaocheng waved his hand and said: "I haven't invited you to drink a drink, even if it's on my head today, in fact, I just found out now, in fact, walking with you, this money is really not lacking, this is just in the ancient city of Jimo, and the sum of the ten thousand gold kings is enough for me to drink for many years." It's just that most of the time there is money and nowhere to spend. ”
Ran Tianluo looked at Shi Yunyang, her eyes were a little ashamed, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and said, "Big brother, I'm really sorry." ”
Luo Xiaocheng was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had said something, and suddenly laughed and said: "Where is it, you don't understand what I mean, I mean to follow you this experience, I, Luo Xiaocheng, have become a rich man." That's all that matters. Ha ha. ”
In fact, Luo Xiaocheng is not wrong, they did bring a lot of entanglements in their trips along the way, before in the ancient city of Jimo, everyone made a lot, and later in Chang'an City, before leaving, Shi Yunyang also brought out a lot of Sichuan capital, they are not short of money, although it is not as good as the huge amount of money in Han Lun's Ruyi bag, but there is always a few tens of thousands of taels of silver. However, as Luo Xiaocheng said, there are very few opportunities to use time and money.
While talking, Luo Xiaocheng had already diverted the topic and talked about the wine that was about to be served with great interest. However, Ran Tianluo and Shi Yunyang didn't have much taste when they heard it. I'm just waiting for the dishes to come up, and I'm still guessing what the auction will be.
After a few words, the meal was served. After a day of walking through the dragon vein, bored and tired, it was when I was hungry, even if it was a few small dishes, the three of them moved the chopsticks, and they all ate very deliciously. However, the food here is really good, and the toad saw that a few people made extraordinary moves, especially Luo Xiaocheng, who scooped all kinds of wine as soon as he opened his mouth. No matter how much it is, the money for this wine alone is already a hundred taels of silver. Treating this kind of customer, the careful boss naturally wants to keep it as a repeat customer. So he took special care of Luo Xiaocheng and sent two of the most expensive half-Tan Snow Lotus in a row. Luo Xiaocheng was even more happy.
After dinner, everyone agreed to go out to see the auction, after looking at their respective rooms. The three of them locked the door and went out, and the toad boss pointed out a back door, and several people went out through the back door, a thin and narrow alley, which was said to lead directly to the auction site.
This place is really too cramped, and it can only accommodate one person to go sideways. Ran Tianluo was okay, Luo Xiaocheng and Shi Yunyang could only move sideways like crabs. In this way, it traveled a distance of about 50 zhang, and made several turns. I actually arrived at the auction site.
The reason why the three of them wanted to go here to see this auction was indeed because they were curious, but more because they wanted to be familiar with the people and things in Lingzhou. After all, the purpose of their coming here was to go to the most central Phantom Palace, meet the King of All Souls, and solve the crisis in the spirit world. At the auction, you may be able to see some people that you don't usually see. It's good if you can find something useful.
After arriving at the auction venue, the three of them walked out of the alley and plunged into the crowd again. After a long struggle, I finally squeezed into the front row, and then I saw the auction venue.
The auction hall was a huge concave open space about 50 zhang wide. In the center of the bowl-shaped arena is a huge circular platform, on which there is a singing and dancing performance, and all around it is full of people, about thousands. However, this number is simply incomparable to the number of people outside the stadium.
Shi Yunyang inquired, and it turned out that the auction here would not start until noon and would not end until the evening. It's almost time to enter, so there are still kabuki performances on the central platform.
Such a grand scene is about the same scale as the martial arts competition at the top of Kunlun many years ago. Only the auction in a remote town in Zhonglingzhou can have such a scale, and the more prosperous area in the center of Zhonglingzhou is not known what it looks like.
Ran Qianluo saw that everyone inside was sitting, and there was a cup of tea in front of him, looking pampered. Some people in the front row, the cases in front of them are full of melons and fruit snacks, and from time to time there are people pouring tea and water, and their lives are very comfortable. Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder, why do so many people have to stand here when there are so many good places and not sit, and it is such a crowded place. It is estimated that after staying for half an hour, the bones will be crushed.
Ran Tianluo said: "Yun Yang, let's go in too, it's too crowded here, and it's very noisy." ”
Shi Yunyang smiled: "Go in?" He paused and said, "If you want to go in, then go in." Ran Tianluo was happy, turned around and pulled Luo Xiaocheng's sleeve. Luo Xiaocheng was surprised: "Why are you going?"
Before they could finish speaking, the two of them had already squeezed around the railing around the bowl-shaped field towards an entrance. Luo Xiaocheng had no choice but to hurry up behind the two. After a short time, they had already crowded to the door, and the three of them just wanted to enter, but they were stopped by two soldiers.
"What about invitations? Submit invitations, that's the rule. One soldier said in a smug voice. Shi Yunyang said strangely: "Invitation?"
"Master Chiba holds an auction of rare treasures, how can anyone come to such a grand event? Only distinguished guests who submit invitations are eligible to enter the auction. ”
Only then did Ran Tianluo understand that the reason why there were so many empty positions in it was actually because there were some people with heads and faces, even if they had no heads and faces, but at least they were rich. Ordinary people can only join in the fun, after all, this is just a game for the rich. She suddenly said, "I see, then we won't go in." ”
The soldier suddenly beckoned: "It's okay if you don't have an invitation, but the entrance fee is two hundred taels, and you can enter after you pay it." ”
What he said was easy and ordinary, but two hundred taels was already a lot of money for ordinary people, and it turned out to be just a small entrance fee.
"Two hundred taels of silver, you are simply robbers. ”
"yes, what's the difference between this and Ming robbery?"
The people next to him began to hold grievances for the three of them, and said nonsense, which made the soldier very impatient for a while. He shouted: "If you don't have any money, give it to the uncle, don't Lang Fei Ben's saliva here! Lao Tzu has no time to and-" Before he finished speaking, suddenly Shi Yunyang took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it to the man, saying, "This is the entrance fee, for you." ”
The soldier bowed his head and said arrogantly, "Three people, six hundred taels, two hundred taels each." ”
The surrounding crowd immediately exploded again, and six hundred taels of silver for admission qualifications was something that only a madman could do. This has been clearly squeezed.
However, Shi Yunyang suddenly took out another four hundred taels of silver and said, "Seven hundred taels, for you, we can always go in now." Trouble arranging a good location for us. ”
As soon as the soldier saw the white silver, his eyes suddenly flashed with golden light, and after taking it with both hands, he immediately summoned people to come and carefully told them to send the three to the VIP area. Seeing his eyes open when he saw money, Ran Tianluo was a little annoyed. Even with the man who came to lead the way, he quickly walked ahead. Behind him, there were three people who couldn't get in, and another wronged man who had been slaughtered.
Ran Tianluo said unhappily: "Seven hundred taels of silver, if you say no, it's gone, you can really spend money!" Shi Yunyang grabbed her and said with a smile: "As long as you are happy, you can say anything." ”
"I was not happy at all when I went out with so much money at once. ”
Shi Yunyang smiled: "Really, but if you see this, will you be happy?" After that, Shi Yunyang took out something from his arms, and Ran Tianluo was really happy when he saw it.
