Chapter 172: Auction
"Luran, sit here."
After going upstairs, Zuo Siwen had already adjusted his mentality, and looked at Liu Luran with a gentle face.
Liu Luran nodded, but didn't say much.
"Luran, what does that classmate of yours do at home?" As soon as she sat down, Du Jing looked at Liu Luran with more questioning eyes.
If it was placed before, Du Jing would definitely not put her mind on Lin Yi, but just now Lin Yi made a blatant attack on Wu Baitian, and then faced Huang Longji head-on, Du Jing couldn't help but pay more attention in an instant.
"He... seems to be from the countryside."
Liu Luran seemed a little hesitant. In fact, there were rumors in the school that Lin Yi was from the countryside, but Liu Luran was not very clear about this.
But considering Lin Yi's performance in school in the past two years, this conclusion is easy to accept.
"From the countryside?"
Du Jing frowned.
At this time, the lights in the entire room were dimmed, and then, from the dome, a beam of light directly shone on the middle of the hall.
There, the host in a black suit walked up slowly. He looked around and said loudly: "Welcome everyone to participate in this Qian Jiale auction. Without further ado, let's have the first auction."
The host clapped his hands, and beside him, a woman in a cheongsam walked up with a tray.
"This first piece is palace porcelain from the former Qing Dynasty."
...
The auction continued. The first few rounds were filled with porcelain, and the highest price was 1.5 million.
But Lin also noticed that most of the snap shots were people on the first and second floors.
The people in the VIP room on the third floor didn't move at all, obviously that wasn't their intention.
"Next, this auction has some background." The host signaled the person beside him to bring up a wooden tray covered with a piece of red cloth.
"Presumably everyone has heard that there will be some of the following items in this auction, and this is one of them."
As soon as the host spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The so-called things below are nothing more than digging out of the ground, and this time it attracted so many people to come, which is also the reason.
The host stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth.
"What is that?"
"I don't know, it looks like a token? But no, why is the token red? Could it be a blood jade?"
On the tray is a transparent glass cover, and inside the glass cover is a blood-red token-shaped thing, and there is a layer of blood-red soil around the entire token.
"What is this thing?"
Many people frowned, not knowing why.
"What is blood jade?" Beside Wu Baitian, the fat man with a kitchen knife on his waist frowned and looked puzzled.
"The so-called blood jade is the jade raised by human blood. The earliest people raised jade in the legend was not for people to wear it all the year round, but to soak the jade in the human body all the year round. When the baby was just born, the jade was Put it into the body, and then wait for sixteen years, when the baby is weak, take it out from the baby's body. After the belly is cut open, the person's essence and blood can be integrated into the jade. This blood jade is the purest blood jade. Supplemented with various methods of ghosts and gods, you can use this jade to drive away the ghosts."
Wu Baitian on the side talked eloquently.
"Is there really a ghost in the world?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"I don't know, and I haven't seen it, but there are indeed some elders in the valley who have some unpredictable methods." Wu Baitian was also a little uncertain.
"After the appraisal of this lot by our expert team, there is still no way to determine its deeper meaning, but presumably, it can change people's fortune to some extent, and activate the blood of the whole body. Today, let's call it blood jade, I hope you know people can get it,
Then the auction will start, the starting price is five million! "
After the host finished speaking, someone below immediately began to raise a sign.
"Six million!"
"Seven million!"
"Seven million and a half million!"
"Eight million!"
...
Below, there are many people holding signs.
"What the hell is this thing? Can this thing cure diseases?" Natsume muttered to himself, looking at the token inside the glass cover, a little hesitant.
Lin Yi, who was at the side, frowned slightly at this moment, secretly startled.
"That's blood jade, that's right, but why can I feel a soaring evil spirit in it, the most important thing is that bloody soil, is it evil spirit?"
Lin Yi thought to himself, but didn't speak.
The price has been raised to ten million.
Natsume gritted his teeth and picked up the sign.
"Eleven million!"
The host yelled, looking a little excited.
"Fifteen million."
At this time, in the room opposite Natsume, some old voices sounded.
Xia Mu's complexion changed slightly, and Lin Yi also glanced over there, only to see an old man with a calm face, and beside that old man, there was a person standing. nod.
"Why is he here too!"
When Xia Mu saw that person, he gritted his teeth, and the person opposite was Xia Jie.
Just when Natsume was about to raise his placard, Lin Yi held down his arm.
"Don't take pictures, this thing is unlucky, it's not a good thing to take it."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Natsume immediately suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
"Fifteen million, one time!"
"Fifteen million, twice!"
"Fifteen million, three..."
"thirty million."
At the moment when the host was about to finish speaking, a cold voice came out, shocking everyone in the audience.
"thirty million!"
"That's right, I don't know what this piece of jade is, yet someone offered 30 million yuan!"
Everyone looked at the VIP room in the corner on the third floor, but there was a curtain hanging in front of the VIP room, making it impossible to see the people inside.
"Thirty million! Once!"
"Thirty million! Twice!"
"Thirty million! Three times!"
"make a deal!"
The host looked excited and dropped the hammer directly.
The lot was sent there, and after experiencing a brief shock, the audience gradually returned to calm again.
"Then the next lot is also from the ground!"
The host spoke in a deep voice, and then the person next to him brought up and took down a tray. The red cloth on the tray was torn off, and there was a shriveled black thing inside.
It looks like a peach mustache.
"This is... what is this?" The people below were all at a loss when they saw such a dark thing.
The host seemed to have expected this situation, and said loudly: "This thing was growing on the bronze coffin at the time. It was originally like a plump peach, but after it was picked, it instantly became like this. It seems that there are some secrets that we don't know about, maybe it's a magic medicine."
"You're talking nonsense, this thing looks like dried cat feces, this is also a magic medicine? Do you really think our brains are not working?"
"Hurry up, next one!"
Suddenly there was a burst of sound below.
After all, that thing looks too ordinary, and there is nothing that can make people's eyes shine.
"That is……"
But Lin Yi raised his brows slightly when he saw the dark thing.
