[019] Bidding to win the treasure, drumming the golden hammer

The Wanbao Caravan is famous, and even Ning Xiu has never been to Chaotiandu before, he has heard of it.

This caravan is composed entirely of various strange people and strange tourists, and is powerful, so you can travel around the world and look for treasures everywhere.

Every time the Wanbao caravan returns from a distance, it attracts the attention of the wealthy merchants and the nobles of the great merchants, wanting to see what treasures they brought back from outside this time.

Before this, Ning Xiu only heard the name but did not see him. He never expected that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce would open a bidding for treasure in Lanyuelou, Wendeng County tonight. It was really because he was lucky enough to watch the fun.

The so-called bidding for treasure is actually an auction. Some of the treasures brought back from outside will be taken out for auction.

If you like it, you can bid and compete with others. The higher the price will be.

As an author of H book, this kind of vulgar and elegant thing is probably loved by many people after publishing the book, so the sales volume is naturally not bad. Ning Xiu estimated that this kid should have a lot of wealth.

Seeing Huang You's excited look, I thought I was planning to make a fortune tonight and spend a lot of money.

"Dinger Longdong, Long'er Longdong~ Jun Ye is too poor at doing things..."

After three rounds of drinking, the martial artist who was singing a big show on the stage was suddenly called to stop and took him off the stage.

Seeing this situation, everyone in Lanyue Tower was instantly cheered up. I guess this is the precursor to the start of bidding for treasure hunting.

Sure enough, after clearing everyone on the stage, a middle-aged man in a gown and robe walked onto the stage with three big men in uniform. The audience suddenly extinguished his voice and looked at the stage with intent eyes.

"This is the shopkeeper Ye of Lanyue Tower. I don't know those three, but if I guess correctly, they should be the ones sent by the Wanbao Caravan to host the bidding for treasure hunting this time." Huang You spoke out and explained to Ning Xiu.

At the same time, the shopkeeper Ye on the stage also spoke: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. These three are the officers of the Wanbao Caravan. They will be the ones who will be bidding tonight. I hope you will be more enthusiastic. If you have any treasure you like, take decisive action. Don't wait until you miss the opportunity to regret it."

The territory of Da Shang was originally thirty-six states, but as the evil spirits in the world were in chaos, the farther away from Chaotiandu became more and more inconvenient. Along the way, mountains and rivers were often occupied by monsters and evil spirits, blocking pipelines and post stations, and harming one side.

Nowadays, there are only sixteen prefectures that Da Shang can fully control, of which four prefectures were only recaptured in the past few decades, and the remaining twenty prefectures are still in a state of fighting and locking down the city to resist.

The mountains are high and the road is far away. Even the Demon Subduing Office will occasionally send dozens of teams of Demon Subduing Officers to fight for the expedition, intending to take back the prefectures surrounded by evil monsters. Sometimes they are willing but unable to do so.

Because some Demon Slaughter's strength is indeed powerful, the strength of some great demon kings, evil demons, and evil gods is also extremely terrifying, making the Demon Slaughter's advantage.

You can only look at the territory from afar, but you can't get it.

Over the past few hundred years, the states trapped outside gradually evolved into "vassal kings" and "princes". Although the Emperor of Shang felt uncomfortable, he had no choice.

Therefore, the specialties owned by these twenty states, such as gold artifacts, horses, jade carvings, and fruits, for Chaotiandu, because transportation is extremely difficult, and few of them can be brought back successfully, have become rare treasures with prices but no market.

Under Ning Xiu's gaze, the three of them took out a scroll and began to recite the names of the treasures recorded on the scroll and the starting price.

"One bright pearl of the sea moon in Daliangzhou, three hundred taels."

"Nanjiangzhou Star Patterned Iron Three kilograms, 500 taels."

"The golden silkworm cloth in the Five Yuezhou Province is five feet, six hundred taels."

...

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

"Good things are all good things. The pearl of the sea moon shines at night, the light source is soft and smooth, and reading books at night does not hurt your eyes. Star pattern iron is lighter and harder than ordinary mineral iron. It is a good material for making armor and weapons. The silkworm cloth is even more amazing. After making it into clothes, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is light and wear-resistant. Who can use this cloth to make a piece of clothing? It is very respectable."

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

Ning Xiu glanced at it and found that there were 17 types of 100,000, and each price was not less than 300 taels. It can be seen that Huang You's fortune is indeed very rich.

"It seems that writing H books in Dashang is very profitable." Ning Xiu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Mr. Ning, do you have something you like or like? If so, just tell me that Huang must fulfill his friendship with a landlord and take care of the high and low." Huang You handed his bidding order to the follower and asked him to hand it over to the Wanbao caravan. Then Huang You turned to Ning Xiu and said.

"Thank you then, but there is nothing I like about now. I will tell you if there is one." Ning Xiu nodded and smiled.

I like it the most for free.

There are quite a lot of good things that the Wanbao Caravans bid tonight, and there are as many as hundreds of people who choose to bid in the end, and according to the rules.

The caravans will select the highest price in the same treasure and make it public, asking if there are any ones that will exceed this price. If so, then continue to compete. If not, the thing will be the highest price.

For a moment, this feeling of spending money like soil also made the atmosphere of the whole audience hot. Whether those who paid or those who watched the fun were very excited, they wanted the bidders to compete more fiercely, and it would be better if they could fight, which would be even more lively.

After half a stick of incense, Huang You successfully took down the twelve treasures he liked, and gained a lot.

"Mr. Ning, this Wanbao caravan goes out every three months. When he comes back, he starts to choose a few different places to bid for the sale of treasures. After resting for a while, he will gather all his troops to go out. The opportunity is not easy. If you like something, you have to hurry up and say something, otherwise you will miss this opportunity and you will have to wait a few months later next time." Huang You reminded.

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

A big man in a strong suit holding a scroll shouted in a humming voice: "A top-quality clean white jade ring, five hundred taels."

This person is strong and his temple is different from that of ordinary people. He actually protrudes out slightly, as if there are two balls of flesh on his head.

This is a characteristic that is only available in the seventh grade of martial arts. It is a physical reaction that has just broken through the realm and the internal strength has not been able to be skillfully controlled. When the warrior stabilizes the internal strength in his body, the two bulges will recover.

Just one person sent to preside over the bidding for treasure can reach the seventh level of martial arts. Ning Xiu has a deeper understanding of the strength of the Wanbao Caravan.

"The white jade ring! It's still the best!" Huang You was extremely excited when he heard what the man said, and quickly picked up his pen and wrote his bid on the paper.

Eight hundred taels!

Ning Xiu was a little surprised. The 800 taels of silver was a lot, which was worth the expenses of an ordinary family for many years. What tricks does this ring have? It was worth 800 taels.

Perhaps seeing Ning Xiu's doubts, Huang You took the initiative to explain: "Master Ning, you may not know that white jade is a specialty of Yuyangzhou. This kind of jade ore can only be dug there. Ordinary white jade worn on the body can calm the mind, help sleep, and calm the mind. The best white jade can nourish the essence, protect the kidneys, improve eyesight and hair, and keep the face and resist aging. It is a treasure on the market that you can't buy even if you want."

"Is it so magical?" Ning Xiu was half-believing and half-doubting. Just wearing a piece of jade on his body could get so many effects, and this could be called a magical tool.

After waiting for a while, the people who wanted to bid had basically given their own prices. The man in costume took the paper with the highest quotation from his companion and shouted: "Mr. Lu, the offer is 1,000 taels. Is there anyone planning to bid? If not, this top-quality clean white jade ring will belong to Mr. Feng."

Huang You's expression was stunned. He knew that he was definitely not the one with the highest quotation. At worst, he could bid later.

But this highest bidder, Mr. Lu, made him wonder. He had been in Wendeng County for more than ten years and had never heard of a merchant and gentry named Lu in the county. Could it be that he learned that the Wanbao Caravan would bid for treasure in Wendeng County tonight, and that the rich young man who came from other places was not satisfied?

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

Soon, the shopkeeper Ye from Lanyue Tower hurried over and walked into the private room: "Young Master Huang, what are your instructions?"

"Do you know what is the origin of that Mr. Lu?"

"Ah, Mr. Huang, don't you know that Mr. Lu is the son of the new county magistrate of this county."

"Xin... County... Chief..." Huang You's mentality collapsed instantly when he heard this.

His father was originally the county magistrate of Wendeng County. Not long ago, he learned that he had been removed from his official position by the superiors and forced himself to retire and return home. Someone would airborne Wendeng County to take over his position.

This new county magistrate is the one who replaced his father's position. Huang You didn't know much about the new county magistrate. Now that he learned about it, he naturally gritted his teeth in anger.

Although his father got a child from old age, he was still not old enough to retire. It must be because of the tricks that the new county magistrate used behind his back that caused his father to lose his official position.

A fighting spirit instantly surged into Huang You's heart. The position of county magistrate was taken away by your Lu family. Tonight, this clean white jade ring means that you can't take anything away.

Without giving anyone time to stop him, Huang You ran out of the private room and shouted: "One thousand two hundred taels!"

Suddenly, the audience looked at him. It was not in line with the rules to shout such a price, but after seeing that it was Huang You, no one said anything, and everyone here knew him.

The man in a good costume didn't care about this, but just nodded and said, "One thousand two hundred taels, is there anyone bidding?"

The whole audience was silent and quiet.

In the end, this top-quality clean white jade ring was easily taken into the bag by Huang You, and he was very proud.

"Fight with me, although my father is not a county magistrate, I have to compare financial resources. I can't suppress you to death. What about Mr. Lu, I'll do you?" Huang You, who walked back to the elegant room, looked refreshed.

On the second floor of Lanyue Building, there is a private room near the walkway.

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

Seeing that the ring was bought, the entourage standing behind the young man in blue robe 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 ring is rare. Isn't it a pity that I didn't buy it tonight?"

The young man smiled faintly and said, "What a pity? After the bidding for treasure is over, wouldn't it be better if you take someone to grab the treasure from the guy you bought it?"

The entourage's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's amazing! Master, your move is really high, this is called robbing treasures."

After the clean white jade ring was sold, the strong man immediately reported several precious treasures, but they could not make Ning Xiu interested.

Huang You would occasionally bid for the things he liked, and let them go to others to fight for if he didn't liked. Soon, he sold seven treasures after the ring.

"The drum-beating golden hammer used by Zi Lei Zhenren during his lifetime was originally a pair, but Zi Lei Zhenren lost one after his death. The single hammer weighed 320 kilograms and sold for one thousand taels."

Zi Lei Real Person!

Ning Xiu was instantly inspired. The real person is a respectful title only available to masters above the fourth level of immortality. This is common sense, and no one can make mistakes.

A weapon used by a fourth-grade master of Immortal Dao is so meaningful. If you can buy it, it will definitely be far more powerful than ordinary iron weapons.

Although Ning Xiu did not know how to hammer the technique, he could learn it.

When I lifted the bamboo curtain and looked out, I saw a four-foot-long golden hammer that looked like a round pumpkin on the ground of the stage.

There are a large number of orange and red talismans on the surface of this hammer, and you can tell at a glance that they are produced by the Immortal Dao.

"This hammer is 320 kilograms, who can buy it to 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 place it at home to drive away evil spirits?"

"This method is reliable and it also makes me look very tasteful."

For a moment, the audience was talking, and it seemed that many people were interested in this hammer.

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

"Okay, Lord Ning, you finally spoke, then I will definitely take it down for you." Huang You brought the paper and pen, reached out and wrote a price of 1,500 taels.

In today's world, the rich have pursued the ultimate pursuit of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing evil spirits. Every household is filled with various stone statues of immortals, Buddhas, stones, wooden statues, and magical instruments, for fear that one day the evil spirits will be harmed.

A weapon that was used by a real person was immediately robbed by the whole audience. In a short while, the price had already risen to a height of 3,000 taels, becoming the highest treasure tonight.

"These guys are all unwilling to give up." Huang You gave a high price of 3,500 taels on the paper in an understatement.

If this hammer can be taken down in the end, Huang You's expenses tonight will be almost ten thousand taels of silver.

For a moment, Ning Xiu became more convinced that writing H books in Da Shang seemed to be really profitable, otherwise how could a son of a former county magistrate have so much wealth and painting so big that he showed no sign of heartache.

In the end, the golden hammer of the drum beater was sold by Huang You for 4,000 taels, setting a new high consumption for the whole audience tonight.

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

The young man in the blue robe sitting in the second floor immediately said to his entourage: "You can go and do it. It's mine, and it's mine. Even if others spend money, they can't take it away."

"I understand, Master."
