Chapter 3 Lowering the Bait [below]
Chapter 3: Bad [Part 2]
Qiu Zhizhang said a long time of introduction, and then sighed again. Finally, he looked upright and said loudly: "In general, this statue of the Ark of the Confucian Tiger is really a treasure of eternal age, no, it should be an treasure of eternity! It is a treasure that can be used for a long time! For warriors, having this treasure can increase the cultivation speed by three to five times! And! There is no need to worry about being possessed by the demons!"
"Now! I think you already know its value."
"Then, Mr. Qiu now announces that the starting price of the statue of the Fuhu Arhat is..." Qiu Zhizhang paused and then shouted loudly: "100,000 taels of gold!"
Bang! Qiu Zhizhang took the wooden chasing and knocked on the table, then shouted loudly again: "The statue of the Fuhu Luohan, auction! Start!"
"100,000 taels!" "100,000 taels!" "100,000 taels!"
"Twelve thousand taels!" "Firty thousand taels!" "Two thousand taels!"
"Three hundred thousand taels!" "Three fifty thousand taels!"
The statue of the Fuhu Arhat directly detonated the entire audience. The function of the statue of the Fuhu Arhat is really terrifying, and of course it is also extremely gratifying!
In the world, there are indeed treasures that can improve the cultivation speed of warriors and concentrate their minds and silences, and there are many, such as ten thousand-year-old warm jade or cold jade. However, things like this cannot be easily shown to others. Everyone hides them and pass them on for generations as heirlooms.
The guests in the auction obviously regarded the image of the Fuhu Arhat as a rare treasure such as Wannian Yu. Such treasures have a fatal temptation for warriors. This world is a world where martial arts are the most respected. If you can enhance your force, you will increase your strength. If you can become a master, you will be the overlord in the martial arts world!
Therefore, the treasure that can increase the speed of cultivation like this is the most popular treasure for people in the martial arts world and a treasure that is fiercely robbed!
However, he participated in the auction of Zhenbaoxuan and could not use force to rob. Besides, all the people present were big shots. Snatching these people's treasures would definitely suffer crazy revenge, which was very unprofitable, so the people present could only use their wealth to suppress others! The richer powerful suddenly smiled and raised the price tag in their hands again and again, constantly increasing the price, and the increase in price became larger and larger! Finally, it reached an amazing height!
"Five hundred thousand taels of gold! The highest price is now 500 thousand taels of gold!" Qiu Zhizhang shouted excitedly, while his eyes kept scanning the entire auction hall, looking forward to the next person who raised the price tag.
"The highest price is now 500,000 taels of gold! Is there any higher price? Is there any higher price?" Qiu Zhizhang asked excitedly.
At this time, the old man sitting in the first row of the auction hall suddenly stood up and raised the price tag in his hand, which read: "Fifty-five thousand taels".
Others originally wanted to increase the price, but when they saw that the person standing up was Old Gu Xing, everyone put down the price increase tag. There was no need to stand up when the price increase was increased, but Old Gu Xing stood up. This was a signal that Old Gu Xing was determined to win this treasure, or that the Tianjian Sect was determined to win this treasure. In this case, even if other forces did not care about the Tianjian Sect, they had to take into account the Grandmaster Warrior Gu Xing, and they could do nothing, and everyone put down the price tag.
When Qiu Zhizhang saw the old man Gu Xing standing up, he knew he was going to suffer. However, the old man Gu Xing did not speak out to threaten others. The old man Gu Xing's seniority in the martial arts world is too high, so Qiu Zhizhang didn't say anything, let alone Zhang Jiao, who was sitting in the backstage, did not say anything, so Qiu Zhizhang pretended not to see the old man Gu Xing standing up.
"The highest price is now 550,000 taels! Is there any higher price?" Qiu Zhizhang asked unwillingly.
Unfortunately, no one in the audience raised their signs again, Qiu Zhizhang had to raise the wooden hammer, knocked it with a "splash", and shouted loudly: "Fifty-five thousand taels of gold for the first time!"
"Bang!" "Five fifty thousand taels of gold for the second time!"
"Bang!" "The third time in 550,000 taels of gold! The transaction was successful!"
… …………………
Ten items were auctioned in the morning, and in just two hours, the ten items were auctioned off, and the accumulated funds were two million taels of gold!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the auction started again, and ten more auction items were sold, with a cumulative amount of funds reaching 1.6 million taels of gold!
Throughout the day, the auction house accumulated a total of 3.6 million taels of gold!
According to the 5% commission from the auction house, Zhenbaoxuan made a total of 180,000 taels of gold today, and this is just the first day of the five-day auction. Assuming that the next few days will earn 180,000 taels of gold every day, then in five days, Zhenbaoxuan can earn nearly one million cars of gold!
Huge profits! Absolutely huge profits!
After today's auction, all the powerful people discovered the huge interests of the auction house. It is very likely that after these powerful people return to their respective territory, they will open their local auction houses. In the future, the auction house will no longer be unique to Anmincheng.
… …………………
In the evening, Taoist Fufeng, Taoist Guiyu, Zhu Jiukang and the old man Guxing, four of them sat cross-legged around the Huhu Arhat, each teasing their true energy. The room seemed very quiet, with only the faint breathing sounds left.
After a long time, the Taoist Guiyu opened his eyes first, first glanced at the other three, and then silently stared at the statue of the Fuhu Arhat...
After a while, the old man Gu Xing opened his eyes, glanced at the others, then nodded slightly to the Taoist Guiyu, and then stared at the statue of Fuhu Arhat, as if he was in deep thought...
A few minutes later, Taoist Fufeng opened his eyes, glanced at the other three, then smiled at the old man Guxing and Taoist Guiyu, then turned his eyes to the statue of Fuhu Arhat, and the look of thinking appeared in his eyes.
Time passed by minute by minute, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. Zhu Jiukang finally opened his eyes and then exhaled a breath of turbid air. His originally dim face has now become a little rosy.
"How?" asked the old man Lone Star to Zhu Jiukang.
"It does have the effect of healing. The hidden injuries in my body have been relieved a little. Although the effect is not very large, it is already very amazing to be able to have such an effect." Zhu Jiukang said.
"If this treasure is helped, how long will it take for you to recover from your injuries?" asked Taoist Fufeng.
Zhu Jiukang was silent for a moment, then said: "It probably takes half a year, or it may be longer."
"No, not bad, this baby is good!" Old Man Gu Xing smiled on his face, and then continued: "Although he owes Zhang Jiao a favor, he will not suffer any loss with the magic of this treasure."
"Zhang Jiao is extremely treacherous. You are careful of being fooled by him." Zhu Jiukang reminded.
"Haha, even if I know Zhang Dang, I will recognize this." said the old man Gu Xing.
"I also think it's worth it. If it's not the senior who snatched the first, I'll bid." Guiyu Taoist said with a pout.
"Haha, I, the old man, even gave up his face, and then I got this treasure. I think that after the auction is over, my old man's reputation of bullying others will spread all over the country." The old man Gu Xing said with a wry smile.
The old man Gu Xing stood up at the auction hall and raised his sign. Although he did not threaten, the discerning person could not understand what the old man Gu Xing said was. In that case, if anyone should increase the price, it would be an enemy of the old man Gu Xing and the Tianjian Sect. Therefore, the old man Gu Xing was indeed bullying others by relying on his power.
The behavior of the old man Gu Xing greatly offended all the guests present at that time, and at the same time, he severely offended Zhang Jiao.
But this evening, after leaving the auction house, Old Man Guxing paid for his auction items, Zhang Jiao invited him to have a cup of tea and talked for a few words. As for the content of the conversation, no one knew it. However, anyone with all thoughts guessed that Old Man Guxing must have paid a price or promise to take the statue of the Fuhu Arhat from Zhang Jiao.
"You can get such a treasure by losing a face. If I had known that the old Taoist would have lost it," said Taoist Fufeng with a smile.
After the Taoist Fufeng smiled, his face changed and asked the old man Gu Xing: "Gu Xing, what did you agree to Zhang Jiao?"
Old Man Gu Xing glanced at Taoist Fufeng, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I promised Zhang Jiao that the Tianjian Sect will never be enemies of the Anmin Army in Tizhou. Moreover, if his second son Zhang Jiao can unify the south of the Yangtze River, then the Tianjian Sect in the north will support the Anmin Army."
Zhu Jiukang's face turned ugly after hearing the old man Gu Xing's words. He snorted coldly, then grabbed the statue of the Tiger Arhat, stood up, and said, "Let me borrow this thing for half a year first, and return it to you in half a year."
After Zhu Jiukang finished speaking, he walked to the door, opened the door, and walked out the door. The old man Gu Xing did not stop him from beginning to end. Taoist Fufeng, old man Gu Xing and Zhu Jiukang, the three of them are the masters and warriors of the same generation. They have frequent contacts and no disputes between interests, so they have a good relationship. Zhu Jiukang was injured, and the statue of the Huhu Arhat helped him heal his wounds. Of course, it was impossible for the old man Gu Xing to not borrow it.
"Younger, I'm going to rest too." Guiyu Taoist said, stood up, and walked out the door.
Taoist Fufeng and the old man Guxing also stood up, and Taoist Fufeng spoke, "Has Zhang Jiao mentioned the origin of this Arhat statue?"
"I asked, and he was perfunctory and said that the reputation of the merchants was so good that I didn't ask again. However, I think this Arhat seems to be a secret treasure of Qingyuan Temple. After Zhang Jiao fully grasped Qingyuan Temple, there was a Zhenbaoxuan auction house. Qingyuan Temple is related to the previous dynasty, and some background is normal." said the old man Gu Xing.
Taoist Fufeng stroked his beard, nodded, and then said, "The old Taoist will go to rest too."
Taoist Fufeng said and walked out, but when he reached the door, he suddenly walked and said sideways: "Gu Xing, Zhang Jiao was born in Qingyuan Temple, and is involved in Buddhism..."
"Our province." The old man Gu Xing interrupted Taoist Fufeng and said calmly: "Before the Anmin Army unify the south of the Yangtze River, the Tianjian Sect will definitely not support the Anmin Army, but... you and Guiyu will not let the Anmin Army unify the south of the Yangtze River, right?"
Taoist Fufeng smiled, without answering, turned around and walked out of the room. The old man Gu Xing flicked his sleeves and the door automatically closed, and said at the same time: "Middle Earth is the Middle Earth of Taoism. It's a pity that Zhangjiao came from Buddhism."
… …………………
Zhang Mansion, underground secret room.
Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the futon, while Zhang Chong and Zhang Jiao were sitting next to him.
After a long time, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You can still sense that they did not realize that the image of the Arhat is inappropriate!"
"Hahaha... OK! Yuan'er, you're such a good skill!" Zhang Jiao smiled.
"Fourth brother, can your teacup be penetrated into other things?" Zhang Chong asked.
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, but it doesn't last long. Unlike the statue of the Huhu Arhat, it can automatically gather spiritual energy and can self-sufficiently maintain the effect of the projection clone of the Sancai Concentrating Cup, otherwise it will not be very effective."
"What a pity..." Zhang Chong said.
"Can you inject a teacup into someone else's body?" Zhang Jiao suddenly said.
"Huh?" Zhang Yuan was stunned at first, then he turned his mind, thinking that this idea was very good, and then said, "I haven't tried it, and I don't know much."
