There are two floors in the auction house. The first floor is already full of people, who look like businessmen, rich families and some people from the Jianghu. The second floor is a room with the windows open inward. If you go down, you can see the items on the auction table clearly.
There is a small bell outside the box, probably for auction.
The two of them were sitting in the box on the second floor, and someone had already served fruit cakes.
While nibbling on an apple, Qin Xiang introduced the process and origin of the auction to Yun Ziyue.
"The special thing about the auction is that there is no person in power. It's just an auction jointly organized by sects in the world, and each time the auction is held in a different location. The most special thing is that it is very chaotic and very orderly."
"Huh?" This sounded very conflicting.
"Hey, that's the feature here. People come here from all schools and schools, but no one dares to cause trouble here. Otherwise, the end will be miserable. The reason for saying that this place is chaotic is that there are all kinds of things to buy here. Only you can't think of it, no You can't see it."
Yun Ziyue thought about it, thinking, why is this a bit like a modern black market
While the two were talking, the auction also started.
The auctioneer is a woman with a red jade dough fan in her hand. She has an enchanting figure. Like everyone else, she wears a mask on her face. The only difference is that the woman wears a half-mask, with a pair of big watery eyes revealing On the outside, the part below the eyes is hidden under a red mask.
The woman spoke with a graceful voice like an oriole, "Masters, ladies and gentlemen, the annual red coral auction has officially begun!"
There was a round of applause and whistles.
The woman didn't panic, and waited for the voice to subside before continuing, "Next, let's go to the first lot."
After the words fell, a man in a blue feather coat held a small rectangular wooden box.
The woman put both hands on the wooden box, but she was not in a hurry to open it, but started to whet one's appetite.
"Let's see what it is?... Oh, it's the Jade Moon Sword!"
"The Jade Moon Sword? Is it the Jade Moon Sword?" There was a commotion from the audience.
Yun Ziyue was puzzled, she turned her head and asked Qin Xiang who was sitting opposite, "Is the Biyue Sword very powerful?"
Qin Xiang looked so ignorant.
"Of course, the Biyue Sword is ranked sixth in the list of famous swords. It is a well-deserved famous sword. I really didn't expect it to be auctioned today."
"Where is Xueluo ranked?" Yun Ziyue asked suspiciously, among the swords hanging on the wall of Mo Jinyao's Treasure Pavilion, one of them seemed to be Xueluo.
"Xueluo?" Qin Xiang started screaming this time, "Xueluo is the head of the famous sword. It cuts iron like mud. It is said that there is a sword spirit inside. Where have you seen it? Can I see it too? "
"Oh, just ask, I've seen it before."
"Well, I thought I could see Xueluojian's face in my lifetime." Qin Xiang was full of regret.
Soon the sword was photographed by a quack.
The woman continued to bid for the rest of the treasures. Qin Xiang looked at them excitedly, her eyes became brighter when almost one came out, and then told her how precious these things were in surprise.
Yun Ziyue agreed.
After a long while, it seemed that I couldn't stand it any longer, and looked at Qin Xiang helplessly, "Didn't Miss Qin come to bid for the auction?"
"Of course I'm here to bid, but...the item I want hasn't come out yet." Qin Xiang pursed her lips, that item was very important to her.
"The following lot is a good item, please take a closer look."
A man held a parchment scroll, and everyone looked at the only thing that was not covered by the steps, with doubts on their faces. What kind of thing is this? Is it possible that who still sells treasure blueprints
"I think all of you are wondering what this is, so I won't let it go. What I have in my hand is the deployment map of the Jiangnan Navy!"
Everyone was surprised for a while, only a few people showed an expression of determination in their eyes.
Yun Ziyue looked at Qin Xiang again, and sure enough, she saw her eyes shining, looking like an old fox.
Seeing Yun Ziyue looking at her, Qin Xiang had a good time and explained, "Don't worry, Yue'er, the defense map is outdated a long time ago, isn't it because people have been raiding the palace and Ji Xiaoyao's courtyard these days?" As for the wall, as soon as Young Master Ji and I think together, why don't we put this defense plan up for auction, so that we can make a lot of money, get a lot of money, and save a lot of trouble for the two mansions."
The corner of Yun Ziyue's mouth twitched, "Be good, do you think they are all fools?" They will be fooled by this kind of thing
However, the next wave of operations completely made Yun Ziyue feel that she had overestimated them.
"I think everyone knows its value, so I won't talk nonsense. The starting price is one million taels of gold! Start bidding!"
"One and a half million taels."
"Two million taels."
"Three million."
…
The bidders came one after another, and everyone knew what it meant to get the defense map, let alone people from Nanling and other countries among them.
"Fifteen million taels! Room 003 offered a high price of fifteen million taels! Is there anyone else following the bid?"
Yun Ziyue looked in the direction of Room 003, but she couldn't see what the person looked like, only a pink corner of her clothes, probably a woman.
Just when everyone thought that there was no one asking for a price, Qin Xiang spoke up.
"Thirty million taels!"
"Wow!" The audience sighed, and it doubled as soon as they opened their mouths.
The bidder's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "The bid for Room 008 is 3,000 taels! I wonder if Room 003 will follow the price?"
The opposite room was silent.
"Three thousand taels once! Three thousand taels..."
"Three thousand five hundred taels!" Everyone looked at Room 003 again.
"Four thousand taels!" Qin Xiang said leisurely.
"Four thousand five hundred taels!" The voice on the other side obviously gritted its teeth.
"Five thousand five hundred taels!" Qin Xiang continued to increase the price.
Yun Ziyue looked at the back and forth posture, the corners of her mouth twitched, and thought, Zero Zero Three, you have been taken advantage of, is there something wrong with your brain? Of course, she wouldn't say these words. As a young girl in the new era, Ms. Yun was happy to see her success.
The other side was silent for a while, and just when everyone thought they had given up, the voice sounded again, but this time it was visibly trembling.
"Seven thousand taels!"
"Room 003 is priced at 7,000 taels, once at 7,000 taels, twice at 7,000 taels, and three times at 7,000 taels! Deal!"
When the transaction sounded, Yun Ziyue watched Qin Xiang lying on the table, clutching his stomach, his shoulders twitching.
After a long while, I raised my head, "Hahahaha, I laughed so hard at this lady. I didn't believe Ji Xiaoyao when he said that someone would buy it at all costs. Now it seems that there is really such a trick. Yue'er, do you think she is out of her mind? unusual?"
Yun Ziyue was noncommittal about this.
"The next lot is the last one, and it is also the finale lot of our auction!"
The bidder disappeared, and a golden cage was lifted up by four men.
Yun Ziyue looked into the cage, her eyes darkened, revealing her killing intent...
