The night was as cold as water, and Chai Shao's carriage slowly drove through the streets and stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.

The mansion faces the street on three sides and faces the water on one side, and there are many carriages and horses parked in the empty field in front of the main entrance, as if there is a grand banquet in the mansion tonight.

Diao Xiaosi got out of the carriage and raised his eyes to see the plaque above the main gate, with three ancient gilded characters written on it: "Duo Yun Xuan".

He was stunned and said: "Isn't this a shop that sells antiques, there seems to be one in Chang'an City." ”

Chai Shao said: "This is the head office, and there will be a treasure appreciation meeting tonight." ”

He stepped up the steps, pulled out an invitation made of pure gold from his cuff and handed it to the guard on duty outside the door.

The guard took the invitation with both hands and opened it, and immediately said respectfully: "Cheshire horse, please go inside—"

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves on the street, and two men rode side by side from the east end of the street.

On the left is a young man in his thirties wearing a brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, and he is accompanied by a beautiful girl. Although her clothes are simple, her gestures are calm and elegant, like a hibiscus in the water.

Hou Junji said in a low voice: "The guy who came is Wang Renze, the nephew of Wang Shichong, the Duke of Zheng Guo, who has been practicing in the Laojunguan Temple of Qingcheng Mountain for more than 20 years, and has just returned to Chang'an recently, but somehow he came to Jinyang. I heard that when he was in Qingcheng Mountain, he once suffered from Li Yuanba, the fourth son of Tang Guogong, and also had some festivals with Cheshire horses. ”

Before the words fell, Wang Ren had already dismounted in front of the door, proudly glanced at Hou Junji, Diao Xiaosi and Wan'er, his eyes were fixed on Chai Shao's face, and he sneered: "Cheshire horse, let's meet again." By the way, this is my little junior sister, the eldest grandson Guanyin, the pearl of the head of our sect!"

Diao Xiaosi was taken aback, the baby girl of the head of the Qingcheng faction, wouldn't it be like a fairy in the sky, but it was a pity that a flower was inserted in the cow dung, and the lump of cow dung next to it looked very smelly and unnutritious.

The eldest grandson Guanyin got off the horse and smiled faintly at Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, you have gone to Qingcheng Mountain several times to visit Senior Brother Yuanba, and the little sister has not had a chance to see you because of her retreat and cultivation, so I don't want us to meet in Jinyang tonight." ”

Chai Shao clenched his fists and said without humility or arrogance: "I have heard for a long time that the eldest grandson fairy is the first descendant of the Qingcheng faction, and I am fortunate to see Sansheng today!"

At that moment, everyone walked into Duoyunxuan together, only to see that the hall was brightly lit and full of people, with nearly 100 banquets placed on both sides, and the VIPs were full of friends.

Chai Shao's seat is in the third row of the first row on the left, just opposite Wang Renze.

Diao Xiaosi sat down beside him, picked up a book with a big red satin cover on the long table, opened it and saw that all the treasures recorded on it were to be auctioned at the treasure appraisal conference tonight, and the first one was the purple gold Guanyin statue that was used to ward off evil spirits in the town.

Look further back, what are the "Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix Cup", "Biluo Chopping Knife", "Twelve Red Dust Bells", "Water and Sky One Color Flag", "Three Thousand Years of South China Sea Lingao Jindan", "Yunhai Jade Bow", ...... All kinds of immortal soldiers, demon treasures, refining materials and elixirs are dazzling, there are more than forty pieces, and they blinded Diao Xiaosi's thief eyes for a while.

Suddenly, the sound of the gong sounded, and the hall gradually quieted down. A middle-aged man dressed in a blue coat stood up from behind the main table, clasped his fists and saluted everyone: "Gao Shilian, the lord of the Lower Cloud Xuan Xuan, I am grateful to all of you. Tonight is the annual treasure appraisal meeting of our Xuan, and it is rare to invite the beloved daughter of the head of Qingcheng, Sun Zhenren, to visit the Guanyin Fairy Jade, which really makes the humble house shine. ”

All the guests couldn't help but exclaim, and they all followed Gao Shilian's line of sight towards the third table in the first row on the right.

The eldest grandson Guanyin smiled lightly, and bowed and said: "Lord Gao Xuan is polite, the treasures auctioned by Guixuan tonight are all worth a thousand gold, and the younger generation has no pure gold, just come to join in the fun." ”

Gao Shilian smiled and said: "The eldest grandson fairy has a family history, what rare treasures have you not seen? Fortunately, I also prepared a finale treasure, and I will ask the eldest grandson fairy to evaluate one or two when the time comes. ”

He clasped his hands together lightly and said: "Let's talk nonsense and get back to business, the rules of the treasure appraisal conference can be seen on the treasure spectrum, and I won't be verbose below." Now please visit the first treasure of tonight, the Purple Gold Guanyin Statue!"

I saw a girl in a Luo dress who was enchanting and light, holding a six-inch-high purple gold Bodhisattva statue on a tray, and slowly walking around the venue to show it to hundreds of guests.

Taking advantage of the time, Gao Shilian introduced: "This Guanyin statue is a treasure brought back from Tianzhu by the holy monk of Mount Emei, the whole body is forged with the purple gold sand of the Ganges River, a pair of Buddha's hands are pinched as the vajra seal, the palm of the palm has the magic seal of the Tianzhu Taoist monk himself, and the base is engraved with the Sanskrit hand-copied diamond scriptures, which can ward off evil spirits and drive away demons and subdue demons, and is a first-class treasure of the town house. Personally assessed by the holy monk Jinding, it should be a five-grade Buddha treasure. Our Duo Yunxuan's heart is not black, the reserve price is 35,000 taels of silver, and the price must not be less than 1,000 taels each time. ”

The voice fell, and a middle-aged monk in yellow stood up in the second row of the banquet on the right: "Amitabha, the little monk's Dharma name is Jianyong, and I am ordered by the teacher to escort this purple gold Guanyin statue to Jinyang." The teacher specially explained that this treasure was a gift from Tianzhu's friends and should have been offered in the Buddha hall. However, thinking that the world is full of suffering, and the four monks are empty and compassionate, so they dedicate the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and want to donate all the money obtained from the auction to buy medicinal materials and rice grains to help the victims in Henan. We hope that all donors will donate generously and participate in the good deeds. ”

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from under the seat and said, "In order to express his gratitude, the teacher will also give a handwritten inscription to the buyer without receiving a penny, in order to show his kindness." ”

He slowly unfolded the scroll with both hands, only to see that the pen on it was ethereal and swaying, the book had the words "wide and good fate", and there was a line of small characters and seals inscribed by the holy monk of Jinding at the bottom.

When the hall was completed, everyone praised each other, praising the great compassion and high wind of the Jinding holy monks.

Diao Xiaosi's heart was more greasy than eating a fly. Thinking that a pair of eyes of the fortune operator should be blinded by this thief bald, and now the old blind man left Chang'an in order to avoid disaster and life and death are uncertain, this thief bald actually took the statue of Guanyin that he did not know where to steal and kidnap, and ran to the treasure appraisal conference to set up the archway, and he couldn't help but be angry from the chest, and the evil was born to the side of the gall.

Wang Ren smiled at the eldest grandson Guanyin and said, "Senior sister, isn't your name 'Guanyin'?" I simply bought it and gave it to you as a small gift. ”

After that, he shouted loudly: "The righteous deeds of the holy monks, how can I, Wang Renze, be left behind? 40,000 taels!"

As soon as he started, someone followed behind, and after a few rounds, someone called 48,000 taels in a blink of an eye.

Wang Ren was bent on currying favor with the eldest grandson Guanyin, and shouted: "Fifty thousand taels!"

The eldest grandson Guanyin frowned lightly and said, "Senior brother, your kind little sister has a heart." But I can't accept this statue of Guanyin under any circumstances. ”

Wang Ren was stunned for a moment and said: "Then I will enshrine the statue of Guanyin in the house, and seeing it every day is like seeing my junior sister." ”

I suddenly heard someone lazy on the other side say, "Fifty-one thousand taels." ”

When Wang Ren heard the voice, he saw that it was a young man sitting next to Chai Shao who was shouting the price. He was secretly angry, thinking that Chai Shao deliberately instigated the young man to come forward to bid with him, in order to sweep his face in public.

"Fifty-five thousand taels!" Wang Ren snorted and stared at Chai Shao coldly.

Chai Shao was stunned and said, "Little Four, do you believe in Buddhism?"

Diao Xiaosi smiled and said: "I don't believe in Buddhism, my surname is Diao." ”

Hou Junji was surprised and said, "Then why do you spend fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver to buy the Guanyin statue? Even if this is a five-grade Buddha treasure, it is not worth the price." ”

Wan'er said: "Don't ask, it's this guy who wants to please the girl opposite." ”

Diao Xiaosi didn't say anything, and chuckled: "Xiaochai, does the kid surnamed Wang have a beam with you? He picked up the chopsticks and tapped lightly on the wine cup and said, "Fifty-six thousand, not enough to add more." ”

Wang Renze's face changed, and he became more and more convinced that Chai Shao was playing a ghost, and sneered: "Sixty thousand!"

When he spit out these two words, his heart couldn't help but hurt fiercely. Although the old Wang family is rich, the silver of 60,000 taels of white flowers is not spent casually. But at this moment, he is no longer just to win the favor of the eldest grandson Guanyin, and more importantly, he must not lose face in front of everyone.

Diao Xiaosi was not in a hurry, and increased the price by one thousand taels according to the rules: "Sixty thousand." ”

Wang Ren looked at Diao Xiaosi with contempt, gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky boy, don't think that you can fight me with Chai Shao behind your back." Who doesn't know that my uncle is Zheng Guogong Wang Shichong, and my father is Wang Shihui, the premier gentry in Luoyang. You want to be richer than me, huh—seventy thousand!"

Diao Xiaosi shook his head and sighed: "It's different to have a rich father, no wonder it's fashionable to recognize godfathers everywhere these days." Well, who told our uncle not to love my grandmother, and even to buy a Guanyin out of his own pocket. ”

With a painful face, he took out a silver ticket from the belt of the dragon and put it on the table and said, "One hundred thousand, you can take one more penny." ”

The crowd immediately stirred, and all eyes were on Diao Xiaosi's face.

Those who can attend the treasure appraisal conference are all masters with a lot of money, otherwise they would not have come here to join in the fun. But this Zijin Guanyin statue is definitely not worth 50,000 taels of silver, even if it is added with an inscription written by the holy monk of Jinding. Diao Xiaosi actually raised the price to 100,000 taels at once, making it clear that he was having trouble with Wang Renze.

Wang Ren almost gritted his steel teeth, glared at Chai Shao and said, "The surname is Chai, what do you mean?"

Before Chai Shao could speak, Diao Xiaosi took over the conversation and said, "Your fourth master Diao likes Guanyin, can you manage it?"

Wang Ren's face turned blue and said, "You ......"

The eldest grandson, Guanyin, said softly: "Senior brother, it's just a statue of Guanyin, why bother fighting with others? ”

Wang Ren felt a little better in his heart, glared at Chai Shao and Diao Xiaosi viciously: "Today, my junior sister is here, and I don't have the same knowledge as you." This account has been written down by Wang, and it will be returned in the future!"

Diao Xiaosi has never been the one who is willing to suffer, and just wanted to sneer at each other and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh, but it was Wan'er who screwed him hard under the table, and said in a low voice: "I must also settle this account with you!"

Diao Xiaosi grinned in pain, but he couldn't speak in front of so many people, so he had to endure it.

But his demeanor fell in Wang Renze's eyes, and he turned into a disgusting grimace again, and he couldn't help but smoke and kill.

At this time, the three gongs were famous, and the girl held the Zijin Guanyin statue to Diao Xiaosi's table.

Everyone whispered, all of them inquired about the origin of this young man, but very few knew that he was the deputy head of the Chang'an Branch of the Huitong Dart Bureau.

Monk Jianyong walked over slowly with the scroll in both hands, and said, "Good, good, the little benefactor's mercy is commendable. Please accept this ink treasure, and live up to the expectations of the poor monk's teacher. ”
