MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 19 [019] Bidding to win the treasure, beating the drum and the golden hammer
Chapter 19 [019] Bidding to win the treasure, drumming the golden hammer
The Wanbao Caravan is famous, even if Ning Xiu had never been to Chaotian Capital before, he had heard of it.
This caravan is completely composed of all kinds of strange people and foreigners, and its strength is strong, so it can travel south and north to find treasures everywhere.
Every time the Wanbao caravan returns from afar, it will attract the attention of big businessmen, wealthy families and dignitaries, wanting to see what treasures they brought back from outside this time.
Prior to this, Ning Xiu only listened to his name and never saw him.
I never expected that Wanbao Chamber of Commerce would start a bidding competition in Lanyuelou, Wendeng County tonight. It is indeed lucky to catch up with the excitement.
The so-called bidding for treasures is actually an auction. The treasures brought back by the Wanbao Caravan this time will be auctioned off.
You can bid if you like it, compete with others, and the one with the highest price wins.
As an H book author, this kind of vulgar and elegant thing will surely be liked by many people after the book is published.
Naturally, the sales volume couldn't be much worse. Ning Xiu estimated that this kid should have a lot of wealth on hand.
Looking at Huang You's excited face, I thought that tonight was going to be a big shot and a lot of money.
"Dong Er Long Dong, Long Er Li Er Long Dong ~ Jun Ye's business is too bad..."
After three rounds of drinking, Wusheng, who was singing on the stage, was suddenly stopped and led off the stage.
Seeing this situation, everyone in Lanyue Building instantly cheered up, presumably this is a precursor to the beginning of bidding for treasure.
Sure enough, after clearing everyone on the stage, a middle-aged man in a jacket and robe walked onto the stage with three big men in strong suits.
"This is the shopkeeper Ye of Lanyuelou. I don't know the three, but if I guessed correctly, they should be the people sent by the Wanbao Caravan to preside over the bidding for the treasure." Huang You said to Ning Xiu. explained.
At the same time, the shopkeeper Ye on the stage also spoke: "I've made you wait for a long time, these three are the officers of the Wanbao caravan, and they will host the bidding and win the treasure tonight. I hope you will be more enthusiastic. If you have a baby you like, you will make a decisive move, and don't wait until you miss it before you regret it."
There are originally thirty-six prefectures in the territory of Dashang, but after the chaos of evil in the world, the farther away from the capital of Chaotian, the more inconvenient transportation, the mountains and rivers are often occupied by demons and evil spirits along the way, blocking pipelines and post stations, harming one party. .
Up to now, there are only 16 state capitals that big businessmen can fully control. Among them, four states were only recaptured in the past few decades, and the remaining 20 state capitals are still in a state of fighting against each other and closing down the city to resist. .
The mountains are high and the road is far away, even if the Fumo Division will sometimes send dozens of teams of Fumowei on expeditions, intending to take back those state capitals that are besieged by evil monsters, sometimes they are more than enough.
Because some of the Demon Demon Commanders are powerful, but some great demon kings, demons, and fierce gods are also extremely terrifying, so the Demon Demon Commander can't gain the upper hand.
You can only see the territory from afar, and you cannot lose it.
Over the past few hundred years, the trapped state capitals have gradually evolved into existences like 'feudal kings' and 'feudal lords'. Although the emperor of the Shang Dynasty looked unpleasant, he had nothing to do.
Therefore, the special products owned by these 20 states, such as gold utensils, horses, jade carvings, and fruits, for Chaotiandu, because transportation is extremely difficult, and few can be successfully brought back, they have become valuable and unmarketable. rare baby.
Under Ning Xiu's gaze, the three of them each took out a scroll and began to read the name of the treasure recorded on the scroll, as well as the starting price.
"One Haiyue Pearl in Great Liangzhou, three hundred taels."
"Nanjiangzhou star pattern iron three catties, five hundred taels."
"Wuyuezhou golden thread silkworm cloth five feet, six hundred taels."
…
Listening to these things he had never heard of, Ning Xiu's expression was indifferent, but Huang You, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hold back.
"Good things are all good things. The Haiyue Pearl can shine at night, the light source is soft and smooth, and reading at night does not hurt your eyes. Star-patterned iron is lighter and harder than ordinary ore iron. It is the best for making armor and weapons. Good material, golden silk silkworm cloth is even more incredible, after making clothes, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, light and wear-resistant, who can use this cloth to make a dress, it will be a face."
Huang You brought the pen and paper that had been prepared in advance from his attendant, and began to bid for the treasure he liked.
Ning Xiu took a look. There are as many as seventeen items in total, and the price of each item is no less than three hundred taels. It can be seen that this guy Huang You has a very rich family.
"It seems that writing H books in Dashang is very profitable." Ning Xiu couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"Master Ning, do you have anything you like or like? If you have any, just tell me that Huang will do his best as a landlord, and let you decide the level."
handed his bidding list to the attendant and asked him to hand it over to someone from the Wanbao Caravan, Huang You turned his head and said to Ning Xiu.
"Thank you so much, but I don't have anything I like right now. I'll let you know." Ning Xiu nodded and smiled.
Free prostitution or something, I like it the most.
The Wanbao Caravan had quite a few good things to bid for tonight, and there were hundreds of people who finally chose to bid, and they followed the rules.
The people in the caravan will select the highest bid price in the same treasure and make it public, and ask the audience if there is anyone who wants to exceed this price. If there is, then continue to bid.
For a time, this feeling of spending money like dirt also made the atmosphere in the audience hot. No matter who paid or watched the fun, they were very excited. I wish the bidders would fight harder.
After half a column of incense sticks, Huang You successfully won 12 of the 17 treasures he liked and gained a lot.
"Sir Ning, this Wanbao caravan goes out once every three months. When they come back, they will choose several different places to bid and sell their treasures. After a period of rest, they will gather their troops to go out. The opportunity is not easy. Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait a few months for the next time." Huang You reminded.
At this time, the first round of treasures on the stage was sold out, and then the second round of bidding for treasures began.
A big man in strong suit holding a scroll hummed: "One top-quality pure white jade wrench, five hundred taels."
This person is strong and strong, and his temples are different from ordinary people. They are slightly protruding outward, as if there are two fleshy **** growing on his head.
This is the characteristic of the seventh rank of martial arts. It is a physical reaction that has just broken through and the internal force has not yet been mastered. When the martial artist stabilizes the internal force in the body, the two uplifts will be restored.
Only one person who is sent to preside over the bidding for treasures can attain the level of Martial Arts Rank 7, but Ning Xiu has a deeper understanding of the strength of the Wanbao Caravan.
"Jingbaiyu's wrench! It's still the best!" Hearing what the big man said, Huang You was very excited, and he quickly picked up a pen and wrote his bid on paper.
Eight hundred taels!
Ning Xiu was a little surprised. These 800 taels of silver were quite a lot. They were worth the expenses of an ordinary family for many years. What kind of way does this switch have? It's actually worth 800 taels.
Perhaps seeing Ning Xiu's doubts, Huang You took the initiative to explain: "Master Ning, you may not know that pure white jade is a special product of Yuyang Prefecture. This kind of jade can only be dug over there. Ordinary pure white jade is worn there. It has the effects of calming the nerves, helping sleep and calming the mind, and the top-quality white jade can nourish the essence, protect the kidneys, improve eyesight and hair growth, maintain the face and resist aging. It is a treasure that you can't buy on the market. "
"It's so magical?" Ning Xiu was dubious, just wearing a piece of jade on his body can get so many effects, so this can be called a divine weapon.
After waiting for a while, those who want to bid have basically given their own prices, and the big man in strong suit took the paper with the highest price from his companion and shouted, "Master Lu, offer a thousand taels, and still Is anyone planning to bid, if not, this superb pure white jade wrench will belong to Young Master Lu."
Huang You's expression was stunned, he knew that he was definitely not the one with the highest bid, and the big deal would be to bid again later.
But the highest bidder, Young Master Lu, made him puzzled.
I have lived in Wendeng County for more than ten years, and I have never heard of a businessman named Lu in the county.
Could it be that he learned that the Wanbao caravan would hold a bidding competition in Wendeng County tonight to win the treasure, so the rich boy who came from other places on purpose?
"Go and call your shopkeeper." Huang You said to Xiao Er outside the private room.
Soon, shopkeeper Ye from Lanyuelou hurried over and walked into the private room: "Master Huang, what are your orders?"
"What is the origin of that Mr. Lu, do you know?"
"Ah, Young Master Huang, don't you know that Young Master Lu is the son of the Lord Lu family in Xinxian County."
"Xin... County... Cheng..." When Huang You heard this, his mentality collapsed instantly.
His father was originally the county magistrate of Wendeng County. Not long ago, he learned that he had been dismissed from the official position without doing anything. He was forced to return to his hometown, and someone would be parachuted into Wendeng County to take his place.
This new county chief is the one who takes his father's place. Huang You doesn't know much about the information of the new county chief. Now that he knows, he naturally gritted his teeth in anger.
Although his father was old enough to have a son, he was not old enough to retire. It must have been some tricks behind the back of the new county magistrate that made his father lose his official position.
A grudge rushed into Huang You's heart instantly. The county magistrate's office was taken away by your Lu family. Tonight, this pure white jade will not let you take it.
There was no time to stop anyone, Huang You ran out of the private room and shouted, "One thousand two hundred taels!"
Immediately, everyone in the audience looked at him. Such bidding was not in line with the rules, but after seeing that it was Huang You, no one said much, and everyone present knew him.
The big man in strong suit didn't care about it, he just nodded and said, "One thousand two hundred taels, is there anyone else bidding?"
The audience was silent and quiet.
In the end, this top-quality pure white jade wrench was easily taken into the bag by Huang You, and he was very proud.
"Fight with me, although my father is no longer the county magistrate, but it's more than financial resources, I can't crush you to death, what son Lu, I bah." Huang You walked back to the private room with a refreshing look on his face.
Lanyue Building on the second floor, in a private room near the aisle.
A tall and thin young man in blue robe sat on a wooden chair, shaking his fan and looking at the stage downstairs.
Seeing that the wrench was bought, the entourage standing behind the blue-robed youth 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 wrench is rare to see. It's a pity that I didn't buy it tonight."
The young man smiled lightly: "What a pity, after the bidding for the treasure is over, you can take someone to grab the treasure from the guy who bought it."
's entourage suddenly lit up: "Wonderful! Young master, this trick of yours is really high, so this is called stealing treasures."
After the pure white jade wrench was sold, the strong-armored man immediately reported several quite precious treasures, but none of them could make Ning Xiu interested.
Huang You would sometimes bid on things he liked, and let others compete for those he didn't like. Soon after wrenching his fingers, he sold seven more treasures.
"Zilei Zhenren used a pair of drum and urn gold hammers before his death, but Zilei Zhenren lost one after his death. A single hammer weighs 320 jin and sells for 1,000 taels."
Zilei real person!
Ning Xiu came to the spirit in an instant. The real person is the honorific title only for experts above the fourth rank of Immortal Dao. This is common sense, and it is impossible for anyone to make a mistake.
A weapon that was used by a real master of immortality.
Although Ning Xiu doesn’t know how to hammer, he can learn it.
lifted the bamboo curtain and looked out, and saw a golden hammer four feet long with a hammer head that looked like a round pumpkin on the ground of the stage.
There are a lot of orange-red talismans on the surface of this hammer, and at a glance, it can be seen that it is produced by Xiandao.
"This hammer is three hundred and twenty pounds. Whoever bought it can 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 put it at home to exorcise evil spirits."
"This method is reliable, and it also shows that I have good taste."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience for a while, and it seemed that many people were interested in this hammer.
"Master Huang, I want this." Ning Xiu said, looking at the golden hammer on the stage.
"Okay, Sir Ning, you finally spoke up, then I'll definitely take it down for you." Huang You took a pen and paper, reached out and wrote the price of one thousand five hundred taels.
In today’s world, the rich are pursuing the ultimate pursuit of exorcising evil spirits. Every household has various stone and wooden statues of immortals and Buddhas, and various instruments are displayed, for fear of being harmed by evil spirits one day.
A weapon that was used by a real person was immediately looted by the audience. In a short while, the price had risen to a height of 3,000 taels, making it the highest treasure tonight.
"These guys are not giving up one by one." Huang You understated and gave a high price of three thousand five hundred taels on the paper.
If this hammer can be won in the end, Huang You’s expenses tonight will be close to 10,000 taels of silver.
For a time, Ning Xiu was even more certain that it was really profitable to write H book in Dashang, otherwise, how could a son of a former county magistrate have so much wealth and paint so recklessly, and there was no sign of distress at all.
In the end, the golden hammer of the drum and urn was photographed by Huang You at the price of 4,000 taels, setting the highest consumption of the audience tonight.
And after that, the bidding for treasure soon came to an end.
The blue-robed youth who was sitting in the private room on the second floor immediately said to his entourage, "You can do it. It's mine after all, and no one else can take it away even if they spend money."
"Understood, young master."
