Lu Yu smiled awkwardly, and then said: "It was indeed taken out of the pill furnace, but... even if it is not a pill, it can be regarded as a thought."
Wu Dai nodded, and while agreeing with Lu Yu's statement, he continued to examine the pill in his hand.
Lu Yu said: "You think it's fine. Recently, calm down and arrange for me. I want to go to the Baibaolou to take a look."
Speaking of Baibaolou, Wudai suddenly raised his head, and then said with bright eyes: "Babaolou...sir, how about...Shall we send this pill to Baibaolou?"
Lu Yu was puzzled: "Why? Auction?"
Wudai said: "Baibaolou hired one of our ancestors from Heaven's End a few years ago. His vision and experience are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He doesn't necessarily have to auction it, just let him see what this pill is... Just fine."
Hearing what he said, Lu Yu couldn't help but become curious, and said, "Well... it makes sense, so let's try it."
After returning to the residence, a few people packed up the road lightly and went straight to the Baibao Building.
In fact, Baibaolou was not as far away as Lu Yu had imagined. Instead, it was very close. The Baibaolou branch in Duantianya was opened in a tall building near the lake, not far from the mountain gate.
When I approached, I saw a three-character stone stele at the door, which read Baibaolou.
"So this is..."
Lu Yu blinked blankly, then looked at the constant flow of people around him, and couldn't help asking: "Does this Baibaolou have an auction every day? How come there are so many people? Or are we just in time to catch up? An auction?"
Wudai shook his head and said, "It's not that it's caught up. The Baibaolou auction is not going on every day, but... it is going on all the time!"
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say that we can directly send the pill from Heaven's End to this Baibaolou, and be auctioned and purchased by people from other places. Similarly, things from other places can also be auctioned and purchased here at any time."
Listening to Wudai's words, Lu Yu didn't turn around and thought for a long time, but still felt something was wrong.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Wu Dai smiled and said, "Why don't we go to the identification first, let's go and have a look first?"
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Just right."
A few people walked into the Baibao Building, and Lu Yu understood it instantly as soon as he entered the door.
It turned out that he was thinking wrong.
In his impression, the auction house means that everyone is sitting together with a small hammer in the middle selling things, one is one, and the next one is sold out.
But here is really different.
After entering, the first thing I felt was the excitement. It's like a vegetable market, people are walking through it quickly, and it's a busy scene.
Even though Duantianya has caused some people to panic because of the Zhiming Pill and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, but looking at this, it seems that Duantianya encountered such a thing, really did not suffer much, as long as the sky does not fall, everyone is still Live as usual.
Then, Lu Yu noticed that there were no seats here. It was just a large and wide hall. Around the hall, near the walls, there were some panels made of unknown materials, dark colors, and people could use the paintbrushes in their hands. Write various prices on it.
What made Lu Yu most concerned about was that among the crowd, there was a group of people wearing black cloaks, their heads and faces tightly covered, but they were barefoot and barefoot walking on the ground.
What they did was to hold a wooden board and paintbrushes between the surrounding panels and a high platform in the middle.
On the high platform, there were four people sitting back to back in Panxi, but they were all in white robes, also covering their heads and faces, only their hands and feet were exposed.
The black-robed man walked to the white-robed man, and the white-robed man made a few strokes on the wooden board in the hand of the black-robed man. Then the black-robed man immediately walked to a panel and marked a number and a special graphic on it. .
Looking at the surrounding panels, there is often a row of detailed text introductions on the top, followed by neat rows of numbers and graphics combinations below.
Seeing this, Lu Yu suddenly understood the operation method here.
No wonder Wudai will say that this is going on all the time...
First of all, each panel is equivalent to an'auction house'. The items to be auctioned will be written on it in detail, with a detailed introduction, and the owner's introduction. Of course, some of the goods owner's introduction is obviously blank, and it is obvious that the seller sells things. , Do not want people to know their identity.
When an item is written on a panel, an auction actually begins.
When people first enter the house, they will receive a unique paintbrush and a graphic that represents their identity. The paintbrush and the graphic are different. As long as the paintbrush and the graphic match, the identity of the bidder can be reflected to ensure that there is no People bid indiscriminately under the banner of others.
Then people walked in front of these panels with their paintbrushes and their own graphics, and when they encountered objects in their photos, they could write their bids on the panel, the bottom row of text, and draw their own. Special graphics. The written price must be higher than the previous price, that is, the quoted price above. Of course, this is the basis of the auction. It is precisely because of this that this is an auction house, not a store.
As for the four white-robed people, they should be the ones who have some kind of communication ability. They will get the goods information and quotations from other Baibaolou branches, and then communicate them to the black-robed people as soon as possible, and the black-robed people will immediately transmit these contents. Written on the panel, an auction begins or continues.
So, now in this hall, dozens of different auctions are being held at the same time!
When there is no new quotation for a panel for a long time, and no quotation from other branches written by those black-robed people, the auction is even terminated.
Lu Yu sighed, this Baibaolou was really beyond his imagination!
But he is a guy who likes to look for flaws or characteristics. For example, in this Baibaolou, he immediately discovered one of its flaws before he participated in the auction.
Over there, the people in white robes receive the information, and the people in black robes convey the information, and finally fall on the panel... This will take a while, and there are fewer people in white robes and more people in black robes. The slowness is reflected in the panel.
This presents a problem.
A normal auction has a final touch and does not give people much time to hesitate. Therefore, an auction will become more'combatant' due to short-term hesitation or financial inconvenience. But here is different. Long-term idleness gives people ample time to consider and weigh time, and even time to borrow money, which will make an auction appear at a higher or more rational price.
Which is better or worse? It's hard to say, but Lu Yu didn't like the form of Baibaolou.
