Not long after Ge Sheng gave a positive reply to Ao Xuehua, the auction of the Hall of Hanging Mirror finally officially started.
Only then did Ge Sheng understand the meaning of the hanging mirror.
The wall in front of them was indeed a mirror.
And it is a magical mirror.
Looking outside this wall, the scene outside is like a huge music hall, and on the surrounding walls of the hall, there are countless windows similar to itself arranged there, from top to bottom, from top to bottom. From left to right, it was like a dense honeycomb or row upon row of masonry, completely surrounding the entire hall. Moreover, in my own eyes, I could only see the windows with a dim red light, but I could not see them at all. People behind the window.
There are also slight differences between these windows. Most of the windows above have their own unique decorations. With just a glance, Ge Sheng saw unique signs such as the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Gold-plated Rose. They are well-known throughout the continent. The huge chamber of commerce will naturally not miss such an auction.
But in addition to these relatively modest chambers of commerce, Ge Sheng also saw the coats of arms of the three royal families. They were also looking down from the highest floor. If Aoxuehua hadn't guaranteed him the interior of these 128 rooms, The structure is exactly the same. Ge Shenghui really thought that those royal boxes would be a lot more luxurious and corrupt.
Outside of the royal family, Ge Sheng did see the badges of the Yin clan. As Ao Xuehua said, only those clearly born Yin clan can be found here, which are nothing more than the vests of the Dark Star and Ste royal families. As for Others still don't seem to have much interest in the Hall of Hanging Mirrors.
In addition to the top forces on the mainland, and a little further down, there are some weaker forces. Many of them do not have fixed coats of arms, and they even simply have a few coats of arms painted outside a window. However, according to Aoxuehua As I said, even though they look a little shabby, the actual asking price is much more confident than the above, because most of them have a clear positioning and will only focus on the most needed lot, rather than on every item. The auction items are full of expectations.
Underneath this were some blank boxes with no names at all. If their windows hadn't also had a faint red light, Ge Sheng would have thought there was no one inside.
And most of these are where the independent and strong people are.
Most of them do not have a fixed box, nor do they attend regularly every year. They will only use various methods when they are sure that the current auction will have the items they need, either buying or trading, or even resorting to robbery, killing, and stealing goods to get a share of the income. To participate in this auction, their goals will be clearer. They will spend a lot of money for what they need, and those items that are of little use to them will be discarded no matter how cheap they are.
And these are the most dangerous opponents.
Fortunately, the entrance and exit of the Hall of Hanging Mirrors relies on teleportation arrays. The exits of each teleportation array are different, and no one will really reveal their voice during the auction. At most, they will let you know which force is participating in the bidding, so Off-field disputes have virtually disappeared.
Under the music hall, there is a circular exhibition stand. At this time, special metal boxes have been used to seal the auction items. Not to mention relying on perception, even if there is only such a hanging mirror wall, Ge Sheng It is impossible to feel the movements outside, not to mention that the lots are equipped with double insurances such as metal boxes. It can be said that until the auction host does not open the explanation, almost no one will know what the next lot is.
At this time, the host in Qingyi appeared there quietly in a puff of smoke. He was wearing a silver mask, his clothes and voice were close to neutral, and it was even difficult to tell his gender.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's Hall of Mirrors auction. Just like many times before, this year's auction will still not disappoint you. If I am not wrong, this year's final auction The transaction amount will once again hit a new high."
"Just as I don't know the identities of the guests sitting behind the hanging mirror, you don't need to worry about who I am. As far as this moment is concerned, I am just an auction host who introduces the auction items to you. Even if ten people were tied up, it would be less than one-tenth of the value of a mere auction item here."
"Of course, I believe that most of you have already got the list of items for this auction and have your own favorite products, so let us make a long story short and everything must get back to the point."
Saying this, the Qingyi host gently raised his hand, and with two fingers that seemed to be an understatement, he lightly tapped on the metal box ranked first. In the next moment, the metal box made of special metal with extremely strong toughness appeared. It was shattered into rustling metal powder by two fingers, leaving only the unscathed item inside.
Ye Qing's eyelids jumped as he looked back at Ao Xuehua: "Heaven Realm?"
Ao Xuehua was not surprised and smiled: "Although we actually came to participate in the auction, the financial backers and backers behind the entire Hall of Hanging Mirrors are your fiancée and Ye Ye College. Okay, find a heaven." Being a host is just something that comes easily. Of course, if I were you, I would pay more attention to the first lot."
Ge Sheng looked back at the wall and nodded in approval.
This wall really deserves the name of hanging mirror.
Just now, I could still see the host and many boxes from a distance, but for a moment, what was displayed on the wall was a close-up view of the auction item. It was like a soldier in front of him. Ge Sheng could even count the objects. Every smoke rises from the white milky liquid in the crystal potion bottle.
But just looking at it, Ge Sheng's eyes became somewhat strange.
He looked back at Ao Xuehua: "Isn't it?"
Ao Xuehua's expression was subtle, a bit pretending to be angry: "What do you mean it's not?"
Ge Sheng touched his nose: "Your Highness, are you really short of money?"
Ao Xuehua smiled: "To be precise, I am indeed short of money. Even with the dividends from Blue Gensokyo, it still cannot change the fact that I am still poorer than Ye Xiaojiu."
At this moment, the voice of the man in green on the stage sounded unhurriedly.
"The first lot is Lotus Resurrection Potion."
"Even if I don't explain it to you, I believe there is no one who has not heard of the name of Lian Yin Resurrection Potion. Although it does not kill human flesh and bones, it is a top-notch magic potion that can stimulate vitality in an emergency and cure all diseases. It is the best medicine for any powerful person in the world. I wouldn’t mind keeping a bottle of good medicine with me.”
"Of course, if it is the Lotus Resurrection Potion, although it is precious, it will not be the first appetizing item to be auctioned, but this one is different."
"I believe you have all heard about the Emperor's Oath held in the Western City not long ago. The performance by the newly-elected Queen Christie was very impressive. But do you still remember the lotus that defeated Her Majesty the Queen in the Emperor's Oath? Cryptic rejuvenation agent?”
"As you wish."
"They are now in front of you."
In Ge Sheng's strange eyes, the first auction item - the Lotus Hidden Resurrection Potion that had justly defeated Christie on the Emperor's Oath not long ago, officially started bidding. Then, right in front of Ge Sheng's eyes, this group of six Lotus Hidden Resurrection Potions Soon the base price of three hundred golden leaves exceeded the cost price of raw materials, which was six hundred golden leaves. Then it broke through the market price of one thousand golden leaves without hesitation and headed towards endless peaks.
During the bidding process, Ge Sheng also understood the bidding process of this hanging mirror auction.
At the beginning, the perspective outside the mirror was countless windows with faint red light surrounding the central hall of hanging mirrors. However, when bidding, the perspective will shift to a closer look at the lot. Although it is not You are not allowed to touch the objects with your own hands, but such detailed observation can basically further enhance the original psychological expectations.
And when the auction officially begins, the perspective will return to the original position overlooking the Hall of Hanging Mirrors. The only difference is that this time all the windows in front of you are dim, and only when the price is announced in a certain window , it will suddenly light up and show the price he paid, and so on.
Although this is a silent fight, it is easier to hear thunder from a silent place.
Just now, Aoxuehua's Lotus Hidden Resurrection Potion had narrowly exceeded the mark of two thousand golden leaves, but at this time the growth rate finally slowed down.
Seeing this, Ao Xuehua smiled and tapped the tables in front of him. Only then did Ge Sheng see that in front of their chairs, there was a small black crystal block that was not very conspicuous, and when Ao Xuehua's finger When he clicked on it, Ge Sheng immediately saw the wall in front of him glowing red.
Two thousand and one golden leaves and grass were buried.
Ge Sheng couldn't laugh or cry again: "Don't you feel that you are going too far?"
Ao Xuehua said matter-of-factly: "No one stipulates that you can't bid on your own consigned items. Besides, I am representing the Snow Burial Society now, which has nothing to do with me."
When the words "Two Thousand and One Golden Leaf Grass" in the Hall of Hanging Mirrors suddenly lit up, and matched with the small and meaningful word "Burial" next to the amount, Ge Sheng had an illusion-that is, the entire Hall of Hanging Mirrors came to a standstill. For a moment, it was as if he was holding his breath in that moment because of surprise or excitement.
But then, rows of red letters lit up one after another, two thousand one hundred golden leaf grasses.
Two thousand two hundred golden leaves.
Two thousand three hundred golden leaves.
Two thousand four hundred golden leaves.
Two thousand four hundred and fifty golden leaf grass.
…
It was like a string of flames running along a rope filled with sesame oil, raising the auction price to 2,800 gold-leaf grasses at a completely dizzying speed before finally stopping.
Ge Sheng looked confused: "What's going on?"
Ao Xuehua smiled: "That's it."
Saying this, Her Royal Highness reached out her hand again and gently tapped the crystal block.
Two thousand eight hundred and one golden leaf grass burials.
It seemed that some people were just waiting for Aoxuehua's price increase. Before the red light stabilized, more red light flooded it.
Two thousand eight hundred and fifty golden leaf grass.
Two thousand nine hundred golden leaves.
Two thousand nine hundred and fifty golden leaf grass.
Three Thousand Golden Leaves Grass.
Three thousand one hundred golden leaves.
Just when everyone thought it would slowly stop this time, another string of numbers suddenly jumped out.
Three thousand five hundred golden leaves.
At that moment, everything was clear.
Ge Sheng looked at Ao Xuehua, not doubting that Her Highness the Princess would reach out and click again. Unexpectedly, this time Ao Xuehua smiled and put away her hand.
No one dared to compete with this big deal, and all the red lights fell silent, waiting for the bright color to slowly extinguish.
Ge Sheng waited for the unknown auctioneer to finally win the six Lotus Resurrection Potions, and then looked at Ao Xuehua: "Can you explain it?"
"There's nothing to explain." Ao Xuehua looked at Ge Sheng, and Her Royal Highness the Princess sneered softly: "It's just a joke."
However, despite saying this, Ao Xuehua continued: "If I rely on the channels of the Os Royal Family to obtain these six Lotus Hidden Resurrection Potions, then they are Nine Hundred Golden Leaf Grasses. If I beg Xiang to prepare and brew them for me, , then the price is 600 gold-leaf grasses, but if I have the ability to configure it myself, then I can win it with only 300 gold-leaf grasses."
"This is a fact that everyone knows."
"I was born into the royal family of Os, but I was not born to be an emperor. Although I still have the title of Crown Princess, as long as my father does not die, this title will be nothing more than a blank check after all."
"It's not easy for the Os family to establish a country, it's not easy to continue, it's not easy even to survive. Even the ancestor claimed to build a nest on dangerous rocks to lay eggs. If one day the nest overturns, then the chicks in it will not be able to fly unless they flutter their wings. , will An’s egg be intact? Therefore, the Os family has only been a country for more than a hundred years, but they are more unforgettable about survival than anyone else."
"When I was young, I was in a critical situation and almost died. However, although I escaped by chance, the Qixi Zhizi in my body broke out earlier than ordinary people, and I was born to be more poisonous than others. Therefore, when I was very young, I We need to hang ourselves every day on the Chinese Valentine's Day."
"The Os family is a very pragmatic family. Although I am His Majesty's only daughter today, I am still very young, and His Majesty is not too old. Rather than spending a huge amount of resources and reserves to save a dying child, in comparison, Naturally, it’s easier to regenerate one.”
"But my father and mother's persistence allowed me to survive."
"The blood of Nihuang is rich in life force. It is because of this innate strength that even though the Os family has been suffering from Qixi Ziwei for generations, they can rely on the marriage of the Nihuang family to produce viable offspring. It can ensure the continuation of the ethnic group." Aoxuehua said quietly. For some reason, although she mentioned the name of the hermit clan, she didn't know whether the box in the Hall of Hanging Mirrors had a special isolation effect, or whether Aoxuehua had some kind of A special technique, so even if she spoke, there would still be no divine punishment. "Although as a princess, I have my own quota of Lotus Resurrection Potion, but for me at that time, these were just a drop in the bucket."
"So my father deducted most of his own quota for me to use, and I need to rely more on my cultivation to endure the pain of the poisonous hair of Qixi Ziwei. Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise, or it can be said to be a blessing in disguise. Relying on each other, my father is now the one with the deepest cultivation among all the emperors of Aos since Emperor Shuhua, but at the same time, his life expectancy is also the shortest."
"But what my mother does is more simple and direct. In addition to the Lotus Resurrection Potion, what I need most in this world is the blood of the Nihuang Clan. Fortunately, my mother is the sacrifice of the Nihuang Clan. The bloodline is noble and pure.”
"I also got enough blood, enough to satisfy my hunger."
"So I survived."
