[19] Bidding to win the treasure, beating the drum and the golden hammer

The Wanbao Caravan is very famous, even if Ning Xiu had never been out of Chaotian Capital before, he had heard of it.

This caravan is completely composed of all kinds of strange people and foreigners, and its strength is strong, so it can travel south and north to find treasures everywhere.

Every time the Wanbao caravan returned from afar, it would attract the attention of the wealthy and dignitaries, wanting to see what treasures they brought back from outside this time.

Before that, Ning Xiu only listened to his name and never saw him.

Unexpectedly, Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will launch a bidding and winning prize tonight in Lanyue Building, Wendeng County.

The so-called bidding for treasures is actually an auction. The treasures that the Wanbao Caravan brought back from outside this time will be auctioned.

If you like it, you can bid, compete with others, and the one with the highest price wins.

As an H book author, this kind of vulgar and elegant thing will surely be liked by many people after the book is published.

Naturally, the sales volume couldn't be much worse. Ning Xiu estimated that this kid should have a lot of wealth on hand.

Looking at Huang You's excited face, I thought that tonight was going to be a big shot and a lot of money.

"Dong Er Long Dong, Long Er Li Er Long Dong ~ Jun Ye's business is too bad..."

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Sheng, who was singing a big show on the stage, was suddenly stopped and led off the stage.

Seeing this situation, everyone in Lanyue Building instantly cheered up, presumably this is a precursor to the beginning of bidding for treasure.

Sure enough, after emptying everyone on the stage, a middle-aged man in a gown and robe walked onto the stage with three big men in strong suits.

"This is the shopkeeper Ye of Lanyuelou. I don't know the three, but if I guessed correctly, they should be the people sent by the Wanbao Caravan to preside over the bidding for the treasure." Huang You said to Ning Xiu. explained.

At the same time, the shopkeeper Ye on the stage also spoke: "I've made you wait for a long time, these three are the officers of the Wanbao caravan, and they will host the bidding and win the treasure tonight. I hope you will be more enthusiastic. If you have a baby you like, you will make a decisive move, and don't wait until you miss it before you regret it."

There are originally thirty-six prefectures in the territory of Dashang, but after the chaos of evil in the world, the farther away from the capital of Chaotian, the more inconvenient transportation, the mountains and rivers are often occupied by demons and evil spirits along the way, blocking pipelines and post stations, harming one party. .

Up to now, there are only 16 state capitals that big businessmen can fully control. Among them, four states were only recaptured in the past few decades, and the remaining 20 state capitals are still in a state of fighting against each other and closing down the city to resist. .

The mountains are high and the road is far away, even if the Fu Mo Division will sometimes send dozens of teams of Fu Mowei to go on expeditions, intending to take back those state capitals that are besieged by evil monsters, sometimes they are more than enough.

Because the strength of some Fu Mowei is strong, but the strength of some big demon kings, demons, and fierce gods is also extremely terrifying, so that Fu Mosi has no upper hand.

You can only look at the territory in the distance, and you can't lose it.

Over hundreds of years, the trapped state capitals have gradually evolved into existences like 'feudal kings' and 'feudal lords'. Although the emperor of the Shang Dynasty looked unpleasant, he had nothing to do.

Therefore, the special products owned by these 20 states, such as gold utensils, horses, jade carvings, and fruits, for Chaotiandu, because transportation is extremely difficult, and few can be successfully brought back, they have become valuable and unmarketable. rare baby.

Under Ning Xiu's gaze, the three of them each took out a scroll and began to read the name of the treasure recorded on the scroll, as well as the starting price.

"One Haiyue Pearl in Great Liangzhou, three hundred taels."

"Three catties of star-patterned iron in Nanjiang Prefecture, five hundred taels."

"Five feet of golden silk silkworm cloth in Wuyuezhou, six hundred taels."

...

Listening to these things that he had never heard of, Ning Xiu's expression was indifferent, but Huang You, who was sitting beside him, couldn't hold back.

"Good things are all good things. The Haiyue Pearl can shine at night, the light source is soft and smooth, and reading at night does not hurt your eyes. Star-patterned iron is lighter and harder than ordinary ore iron. It is the best for making armor and weapons. Good material, golden silk silkworm cloth is even more incredible, after making clothes, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, light and wear-resistant, who can use this cloth to make a dress, it will be a face."

Huang You brought the pen and paper that had been prepared in advance from the attendant, and began to bid for the treasure that he liked.

Ning Xiu glanced at it. There are seventeen items in total, and the price of each item is no less than three hundred taels. It can be seen that Huang You's family is indeed very rich.

"It seems that writing H books in Dashang is very profitable." Ning Xiu couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Lord Ning, do you have something you like or like? If you have any, just tell me that Huang will do his best to be a landlord, and let you figure it out."

Handing his bid list to the attendant and asking him to hand it over to the Wanbao Caravan, Huang You turned his head and said to Ning Xiu.

"Thank you so much, but I don't have anything I like right now. I'll tell you if I have it." Ning Xiu nodded and smiled.

What the hell, I like it the most.

It is true that the Wanbao Caravan had a lot of good things to bid on tonight, and there were hundreds of people who chose to bid in the end, according to the rules.

The people in the caravan will select the highest bid price in the same treasure and make it public, and ask the audience if there is any more price than this price. If so, continue to bid.

For a time, this feeling of spending money like dirt also made the atmosphere of the audience hot. No matter who paid or watched the fun, they were very excited. I wish the bidders would fight harder.

After half a column of incense, Huang You successfully won twelve of the seventeen treasures that he liked, and he gained a lot.

"Sir Ning, this Wanbao caravan goes out once every three months. When they come back, they will choose several different places to bid and sell their treasures. After a period of rest, they will gather their troops to go out. The opportunity is not easy. Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait a few months for the next time." Huang You reminded.

At this time, the first round of treasures on the stage was sold out, and then the second round of bidding for treasures began.

A big man in strong suit holding a scroll hummed: "One top-quality pure white jade wrench, five hundred taels."

This person is strong and strong, and his temples are different from ordinary people. They protrude slightly outward, as if there are two fleshy balls growing on his head.

This is the characteristic of the seventh rank of martial arts. It is a physical reaction that has just broken through and the internal force has not yet been mastered. When the martial artist stabilizes the internal force in the body, the two uplifts will be restored.

Only one person who was sent to preside over the bidding for treasures could have the seventh-rank martial arts realm, but Ning Xiu had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Wanbao Caravan.

"Jingbaiyu's wrench! It's still the best!" Hearing what the big man said, Huang You was very excited, and he quickly picked up a pen and wrote his bid on a piece of paper.

Eight hundred taels!

Ning Xiu was a little surprised. These 800 taels of silver were quite a lot, and it was worth the cost of many years for an ordinary family. What kind of way is there with this finger, it is actually worth 800 taels.

Perhaps seeing Ning Xiu's doubts, Huang You took the initiative to explain: "Master Ning, you may not know that pure white jade is a special product of Yuyang Prefecture. This kind of jade can only be dug over there. Ordinary pure white jade is worn there. It has the effects of calming the nerves, helping sleep and calming the mind, and the top-quality white jade can nourish the essence, protect the kidneys, improve eyesight and hair growth, maintain the face and resist aging. It is a treasure that you can't buy on the market. "

"It's so amazing?" Ning Xiu was dubious. He could get so many effects just by wearing a piece of jade on his body, so it could be called an artifact.

After waiting for a while, those who want to bid have basically given their own prices, and the big man in strong suit took the paper with the highest price from his companion and shouted, "Master Lu, offer a thousand taels, and still Is anyone planning to bid, if not, this superb pure white jade wrench will belong to Young Master Feng."

Huang You's expression was stunned, he knew that he was definitely not the one with the highest bid, and the big deal would be to bid again later.

But the highest bidder Lu Gongzi made him feel puzzled.

Having lived in Wendeng County for more than ten years, I have never heard of a businessman named Lu in the county.

Could it be that he learned that the Wanbao caravan would hold a bidding and winning prize in Wendeng County tonight, so the rich boy who came from other places on purpose was not successful?

"Go and call your shopkeeper." Huang You said to Xiao Er outside the private room.

Soon, the shopkeeper Ye from Lanyuelou hurried over and walked into the private room: "Master Huang, what are your orders?"

"What's the origin of that Mr. Lu, do you know?"

"Ah, Young Master Huang, don't you know that Young Master Lu is the son of Lord Lu's family in Xinxian County."

"Xin... County... Cheng..." When Huang You heard this, his mentality instantly collapsed.

His father was the county magistrate of this Wendeng County. Not long ago, he learned that he had been removed from the official position without doing anything. He was forcibly reported to the old man and returned to his hometown. Someone would be parachuted into Wendeng County to take his place.

This new county chief was the one who took his father's place. Huang You didn't know much about the new county chief's information. Now that he knew it, he naturally gritted his teeth in anger.

Although his father was old enough to have a son, he was not old enough to retire. It must have been some tricks behind the scenes of the new county magistrate that made his father lose his official position.

An arrogance surged into Huang You's heart in an instant, the county magistrate's office was taken away by your Lu family, and tonight's pure white jade is pulling your fingers, that means you can't take it away.

Before anyone could stop him, Huang You ran out of the private room and shouted, "One thousand two hundred taels!"

Immediately, everyone in the audience glanced at him. Such an offer was not in line with the rules, but after seeing that it was Huang You, no one said much, and everyone at the scene knew him.

The big man in strong suit didn't care about this, he just nodded and said, "One thousand two hundred taels, is there anyone else bidding?"

The whole place was silent and silent.

In the end, this top-quality pure white jade wrench was easily pocketed by Huang You, and he was very proud.

"Fight with me, although my father is no longer the county magistrate, but compared with financial resources, I can't crush you to death, what is Lu Gongzi, I bah." Huang You walked back to the private room with a refreshing look on his face.

On the second floor of Lanyue Building, in a private room near the aisle.

A tall and thin young man in blue robe sat on a wooden chair, shaking his fan and looking at the stage downstairs.

Seeing that the wrench was bought, the entourage standing behind the blue-robed youth couldn't help but ask: "Young master, it's only 1,200 taels of silver, why don't we continue to fight, this pure white jade wrench is rare to see. It's a pity that I didn't buy it tonight."

The young man smiled faintly: "What a pity, after the bidding for the treasure is over, you can bring someone to take the treasure from the guy who bought it."

The entourage's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wonderful! Young master, this trick of yours is really high, so this is called stealing treasures."

After the pure white jade wrench was sold, the strong-armored man immediately reported several quite precious treasures, but none of them could interest Ning Xiu.

Huang You would sometimes bid on things he liked, and let others compete for those he didn't like. Soon after he turned his fingers, he sold seven more treasures.

"Zilei Zhenren used a pair of drum and urn gold hammers before, but Zilei Zhenren lost one after his death. A single hammer weighs 320 pounds and costs 1,000 taels."

Zi Lei is real!

Ning Xiu's spirit came to him in an instant. The real person is the honorific title only for experts above the fourth rank of the Immortal Dao. This is common sense, and it is impossible for anyone to make a mistake.

A weapon that was used by a fourth-rank immortal master, this is very meaningful. If you can buy it and use it, its power is definitely far beyond that of ordinary iron weapons.

Although Ning Xiu doesn't know how to hammer, he can learn it.

Lifting the bamboo curtain and looking out, on the ground of the stage, there was a four-foot-long golden hammer with a hammer head that looked like a round pumpkin.

There are a lot of orange-red talismans on the surface of this hammer, and at a glance, it can be seen that it is produced by Xiandao.

"This hammer is three hundred and twenty pounds. Whoever bought it can swing it."

"I don't understand, this is a weapon used by a real person. It is attached to the spiritual power of a real person. Isn't it wonderful to put it at home to exorcise evil spirits."

"This method is reliable, and it also shows that I have good taste."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience for a while, and it seemed that many people were interested in this hammer.

"Master Huang, I want this." Ning Xiu said, looking at the golden hammer on the stage.

"Okay, Master Ning, you finally spoke, then I will definitely take it down for you." Huang You took a pen and paper, and reached out and wrote the price of one thousand five hundred taels.

In today's world, the rich are pursuing the ultimate pursuit of exorcising evil spirits. Every household has various stone and wooden statues of immortals and Buddhas, and various instruments are displayed, for fear of being harmed by evil evil spirits one day.

A weapon that was used by a real person was immediately looted by the audience. After a while, the price had risen to a height of 3,000 taels, becoming the highest treasure at present tonight.

"These guys don't give up one by one." Huang You understated and gave a high price of three thousand five hundred taels on the paper.

If this hammer can be won in the end, Huang You's expenses tonight will be close to 10,000 taels of silver.

For a time, Ning Xiu was even more certain that it was really profitable to write the H book in Dashang, otherwise, how could the son of a former county magistrate have so much wealth and paint so recklessly, and there was no sign of distress at all.

In the end, the golden hammer for drumming and urn was photographed by Huang You at the price of 4,000 taels, setting the highest consumption of the audience tonight.

After that, the bidding for treasure quickly came to an end.

The blue-robed youth who was sitting in the private room on the second floor immediately said to his entourage, "You can do it. It's mine after all, and others can't take it even if they spend money."

"Understood, young master."
