This was Xu Huaigu's first time attending this auction, and he couldn't help but be curious about everything. While waiting for the opening, he kept looking around, watching more and more monks around him. It wasn't until three distant bells sounded outside the venue, indicating that it was already noon, that finally there was a monk with a horned beard. The little old man stepped onto the auction stage.
The little old man who was reading the book was not tall, and his figure was even thinner, but his eyes were cunning and lively. As soon as he came on stage, he nodded and bowed and greeted the monks around him, like a profiteer.
Xu Huaigu looked at the man curiously and smiled as if hearing his apology: "I have kept you Taoist friends waiting for a long time. The auction will start soon. I believe that the auction items this time will not disappoint you Taoist friends. He raised his voice and said: "Although this may not be the first time for you to come to the auction, but just in case, I would like to tell you the rules before the auction."
"During the auction, fellow Taoists must be quiet. If you want to bid, just send me a message from Xinhu. I promise to be fair and just. This is the credibility guarantee of our Qingliang Building. Secondly, after the auction ends, I bought The fellow Taoist who owns the items can leave first, and we, Qinglianglou, will then come to the door to deliver the auction items to avoid unnecessary fights. Fellow Taoists, please rest assured about the credibility of Qinglianglou, which is what we have been doing in Qiyin City for hundreds of years. The foundation that will stand firm here." The little old man gave a final grin and said, "I will say one last thing, the auction items this time are not owned by Qinglianglou, but were entrusted by Feiyuzhou Hongxiang Sect to sell them. The Hongxiang Sect has accumulated some items over the years, so the quality and authenticity are guaranteed by the Xianjia Sect. You don’t have to worry about buying fakes. And the broken sword that was auctioned at the end is said to be An ancient sword in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords has a great background. The Hongxiang Sect originally did not intend to sell it, but they really couldn’t find a way to repair it, so that sword can appear in this auction. Please wait and see. That’s it.” As soon as the little old man said these words, the eyes of the monks suddenly changed.
Although no one spoke, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to be getting lively. Xu Huaigu asked in confusion: "What kind of sect is the Hongxiang Sect?" Bai Xiaoyu sent a message to him: "The Hongxiang Sect is a major Buddhist sect in Feiyuzhou. It can be regarded as the master of Feiyuzhou Buddhism. Hongxiang Sect is a Buddhist sect in Feiyuzhou. The sect is not only superb in Buddhism, but also very powerful. It is one of the top sects in Feiyu Island, so these monks were so surprised. And as expected, the broken sword was the sword in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords, but they didn’t know Is it the relic of an ancient swordsman?" Xu Huaigu was excited, but also a little worried, and said: "But since this sword is so powerful, I'm still worried that I don't have enough money." Bai Xiaoyu replied boldly: "It's okay, he paid it in advance There is no news that this sword came from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords, so it should not have attracted monks from the eighth or ninth level. The people here should only be from the sixth or seventh level. With the money we both have, there is absolutely no problem in taking this sword. "When Xu Huaigu heard this, he nodded in relief and laughed.
Soon I will have another sword, not to mention this one is still a broken sword in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords, and it has the hope of being promoted to an immortal weapon.
Although the Hongxiang Sect can't repair it, who knows that Xu Huaigu can't? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and he was looking forward to it.
After the little old man said these words, he said loudly: "Now let's invite the first auction item, the merit rosary!" Xu Huaigu had never heard of this thing, and he immediately became interested. He leaned forward and looked at the table curiously. superior.
I saw a beautiful female monk carrying a plate and walking up, while the little old man picked up a rosary on the plate and said with a smile on his face: "This merit rosary is a specialty of Hongxiang Sect. We all know that monks who kill people have to bear the karma of cause and effect. The Hongxiang Sect claims that this merit rosary has the effect of eliminating this karma of cause and effect. Therefore, if there are monks who have made mistakes before, you may wish to buy it and give it a try. But we are cool Lou De reminds me that it’s just that the Hongxiang Sect claims that it has this wonderful effect. As for whether it is useful or not, no one can tell about mysterious things like cause and effect." Xu Huaigu blinked and felt that this thing How strange.
I have never heard of such a magical thing before, but today I have learned a lot about it. Bai Xiaoyu also laughed, and said through the heart lake: "This thing is so weird. I have followed Master for so many years, and I have never heard of such a thing. This old man put this weird thing in the first auction, it is really Very cunning. The merit rosary is just a gimmick. Now it attracts everyone's attention, and the subsequent items will be easier to sell." The little old man said: "The starting price is twenty large beads, and the minimum increase is five large beads. !" The place was quiet, but everyone was talking in their hearts.
Soon, the little old man smiled and said: "Someone has already bid thirty pieces. If any fellow Taoists want this thing, please send a message to me quickly!"
"Thirty-five pieces. Someone has already bid thirty-five pieces. Is there anything higher?" The little old man smiled slyly and said: "Forty pieces! It's still the same Taoist friend from before. It seems that this fellow Taoist is really eager. This merit rosary, could it be that I have made too many mistakes in the past?" There was low laughter in the audience. After all, the rules said that you were not allowed to talk, but they did not say that you were not allowed to laugh out loud.
Moreover, what the old man said was very interesting, and Xu Huaigu was greatly interested in him.
"If no fellow Taoist bids more, will the deal be concluded?" He paused for a moment, but no one raised the price, so he slammed the small hammer in his hand on the stage and said loudly: "It's a deal! Congratulations on this A fellow Taoist bought the merit rosary for the price of forty large beads!" The little old man put the rosary back into the plate, and the beautiful woman smiled brightly at the audience, gave a wink, and walked down. .
According to the rules, this merit rosary will be sent to the buyer by someone from Qinglianglou after the auction.
After that, there were several auction items, all of which were spiritual weapons and magic weapons. However, as Bai Xiaoyu said, they were relatively ordinary and not as weird as merit rosary beads.
Moreover, they were all items that could be bought in the market outside, so there were not many bidders, but none of the bids were unsuccessful, and they were all sold. It seems that Hongxiang Sect's reputation is still somewhat useful.
Another auction item was brought up, but this time it was not a young and beautiful female monk who came on stage, but a cute girl in her teens.
The girl was dressed in pink and jade, with a rosy face, two braids, and a red dress. She looked light and cute.
She walked onto the stage with a rock on her head and smiled. The little old man in charge of the auction took a lot of effort to move the stone from her head to the auction table. Then he pointed at the stone and explained excitedly: "This auction item is different from the previous ones. It’s a sword-sharpening stone. Even though it’s of low quality, it looks like something a small swordsman would use to sharpen his sword, but it has a great history.”
"Everyone knows that there is a sword-born child in Feiyu Island named Su Wei. Before she became famous, she has been using this sword-sharpening stone for eight years. Fellow Taoists, you may wish to think about it. That person was born with a sword. Sword embryos are so rare that many monks rarely see them once in their lives. But now, such an opportunity is in front of you. As long as you buy this sword sharpening stone, you can even comprehend some of the innate sword embryos left on it. Mysterious sword intention! In my opinion, this is such a rare thing in life, and it is not expensive. The starting price is ten big beads, and the price will be increased by at least three!" Xu Huaigu was shocked when he heard what he said, and hurried to look Looking towards the woman in the light blue robe, she was still sitting upright, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.
The little old man talked very enthusiastically, but no one was very interested in this sword-sharpening stone. Although Su Wei's reputation was in it, it was a useless item.
After all, the grade of the sword-sharpening stone was too low, and the people present were all monks of the sixth realm or above. If you buy it home, you can only keep it as a decoration. Spending ten large beads on this is really not cost-effective.
The little old man thought that someone would definitely want this sword sharpening stone, but he didn't expect that after a long time, no one bid, which made him a little disappointed.
Is this sword sharpening stone going to be the first item to fail to be auctioned today? Seeing that the little old man hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Huaigu knew that no one was bidding, so he quickly sent a message from his heart lake: "I bought ten big beads." The little old man made an offer and said, "There are already Taoist friends who are willing to offer ten big beads." Dazhu bought the sword sharpening stone used by Su Wei, do any Taoist friends want to increase the price?" There was silence in the heart, and the little old man was a little helpless, and was about to
The word "deal" came out of his mouth, but he heard an indifferent female voice ringing in his heart: "I will give you a hundred pieces." Xu Huaigu thought that no one was competing with him, and when he was about to get the sword grinding stone, he saw The little old man's face froze, and he suddenly thought something was wrong.
The little old man looked strange and said with some uncertainty: "A Taoist friend directly increased the price from ten big beads to one hundred. Now the price of the sword sharpening stone is one hundred big beads. Is there anyone who offers a higher price?" "Xu Huaigu was startled, with a look of doubt on his face. He subconsciously looked around, but saw that the monks on the field were all very surprised, and they all looked at each other, full of doubts.
Obviously no one was vying for this sword sharpening stone, but someone was willing to spend a hundred big beads to buy it, and the price was increased tenfold. How could it not be surprising?
Xu Huaigu seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked in the direction of Zuo Qiuxun, only to see that the woman in light blue robe did not look around like other monks, but was still sitting upright.
Seeing this, Xu Huaigu seemed to have an answer in his heart. That sword-sharpening stone may only be worth a hundred big beads in her eyes.
The little girl who came up with the stone was overjoyed when she saw the high price of the sword sharpening stone. She smiled happily and bowed to the monks before putting the stone back on her head and taking it back with her as before.
After such a turmoil, the atmosphere of the auction became more and more lively. Several subsequent items were sold at high prices, and Xu Huaigu couldn't resist the temptation and tried to buy a Fierce Sun Exorcist Talisman.
It was a third-grade talisman, one grade higher than the fourth-grade Zixia Zong Lei Talisman that he got from Lin Cangyang. Naturally, it was extremely expensive. It cost him fifty large beads. After buying it, Xu Huaigu was all I felt distressed for a long time.
But ever since that thunder talisman was used in Lucheng, Xu Huaigu has always felt that he has no trump card except the Heart Lake Flying Sword.
This third-grade Fierce Sun Exorcism Talisman not only has strong restraint against ghosts and spirits, but is also extremely lethal to ordinary monks. It is no less powerful than the thunder talisman that must kill those below the third level, so he feels that he has the need to do so. I bought this talisman for emergencies.
As each item was auctioned off, the sun gradually set, and the auction gradually came to an end.
However, the closer to the end, the more excited the monks became, because as the finale of this auction, the broken sword from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords was about to appear.
Finally, after the little old man sold all the items except the broken sword, he took a deep breath and said to the monks in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoists, I know that many of you have come from afar to participate in this auction. It's for this last broken sword. I said, this sword will definitely live up to everyone's high expectations, and I will do what I said." He turned around, turned his back to the monks, and looked solemnly towards the back of the auction stage, Said: "Please forgive us at Qinglianglou for not telling everyone all the news about this broken sword in advance. In fact, we know the name of this sword." The monks' hearts rose to their throats with these words, Listening nervously.
He excitedly raised his hand as an invitation and said loudly: "Then let us invite you next, Longquan!"
