People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 269 Auction

"I understand." The gentle woman nodded in response, then turned and left.

It wasn't until a moment after she left that Adjutant Zhang's frown at the window slowed down.

He thought about it, and felt that the person who came here should be a senior left behind from Xiling, and the purpose was nothing more than to give Chen Ziyan a platform.

After all, despite the fact that Xiling's bandits had dispersed long ago, there was still a bit of love in the end. As long as no personal interests were involved, those people who walked out of Changsheng Mountain would give Chen Ziyan some face.

After figuring out the joints involved, Adjutant Zhang put the matter aside.

Anyway, no matter what it is, in the three-acre area of ​​the Crescent Hotel, no one can bully the people under the care of the Buddha.

At this time, the lobby of the New Moon Hotel fell into an indescribable silence, only some ignorant people didn't know what happened.

The reason why they acted like this was because of the lanterns lit outside Chen Ziyan's box.

In a certain box on the second floor, Huo Xiangu looked at the lit lantern with a complicated expression, unable to recover for a long time.

Only people like her who came from that era can understand how powerful Xiling was back then.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" At this moment, a clear and sweet female voice sounded, bringing Huo Xiangu's wandering thoughts back to reality.

The one who made the sound was a beautiful girl who looked a bit eccentric, and her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Huo Xiangu. She was Huo Ling, the next-generation successor of the Huo family.

"Do you still remember what I told you about the mysterious inheritance in the tomb robbery business?" Huo Xiangu turned to look at her daughter who was snuggling beside her, and asked with a smile.

When facing her daughter, Huo Xiangu's eyes were full of tenderness, without any trace of her usual strength.

"Mysterious inheritance in the Tomb Raider?" Huo Ling's bright eyes showed a thoughtful look, and then she said slowly: "Five sects of Faqiu, Mojin, Moving Mountain, Unloading Mountain, and Guanshan?"

Although there are many factions in Tomb Raiders, when it comes to the word inheritance, those who know how to do it will immediately think of these five names.

"That's right." Huo Xiangu nodded with a smile, and then revealed a not-so-secret anecdote: "At the beginning of the establishment of the New Moon Hotel, these sects were still wandering around, so in order to show respect to the seniors in the industry, At that time, Boss Yin made a special rule, which was to set aside exclusive private seats for these five factions in the Crescent Hotel, which is the current box, and when someone enters these boxes, a bright light will be hung outside .”

Hearing Huo Xiangu's words, Huo Ling subconsciously glanced at the shining lantern, and said in disbelief, "But... haven't all these five sects been lost?"

"Lost?" Huo Xiangu smiled and shook her head: "Except for Guanshan, which has a poor foundation, none of the other four sects has a deep foundation. It is not easy to sever these inheritances. The so-called "lost tradition" is just that the contemporary heirs of the other party did not show up. .”

She still didn't say a word, that is, if you really want to count, the Buddha standing behind the Crescent Hotel and that adjutant Zhang can all be regarded as the inheritance of Faqiu's lineage.

"Then which faction does this lantern represent?" Huo Ling nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously.

She had been observing the lantern, but could see nothing.

Hearing this, Huo Xiangu slowly spit out two words: "Xieling."

"Xieling Lishi?" Huo Ling's curiosity was immediately aroused.

What Huo Ling is most interested in about these sects is Xiling.

There is a seal on the hair mound, a talisman on the touch of gold, skill in moving mountains, and armor in unloading mountains.

These four jargons basically cover the characteristics of the four factions, but compared to the other three factions, Xiling is the most mysterious, because there are different opinions on this 'A', and there is no accurate one at all.

Furthermore, the rumors about Xiling made her feel that this sect was very contradictory, and she felt that it was a bit incompatible with the tomb robbery business, and all these things added up to naturally make her curious.

Thinking of this, Huo Ling took advantage of the opportunity to ask her own doubts: "Mom, do you know what Xilingjia is?"

Huo Xiangu shook her head and said: "I don't know. Although everyone in the industry knows that Xiling has armor, no one has seen it with their own eyes. It is said that it is a secret that only the robbers can know. Compared with the hair that has appeared in front of the world Qiu Yin and Mo Jin Talisman, Xiling seems to be huge in scale, but its mystery is not inferior to that of Qianshan."

……

At this moment, such conversations resounded almost everywhere in the Crescent Hotel, and even Chen Ziyan and the others felt strange.

When Wang Kaixuan couldn't hear the conversation outside clearly, but he could still hear the noisy whispers, he looked outside, and then asked curiously: "Do you guys think it's a little strange, something is wrong?"

His intuition told him that the place where he and others seemed to have become the focus of the entire hotel.

Hu Bayi also noticed something, but he didn't know where the problem was. He said suspiciously: "I also feel that something is wrong, but where is the problem?"

Then he looked around, and found that even Chen Ziyan was suspicious, but Chen Yulou, who was sitting in the chief seat, still looked like an ancient well without waves.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi began to think about it, and asked, "Old man, what's going on?"

"People of the younger generation are rare and strange." Chen Ziyan said lightly.

Wang Kaixuan didn't understand too much, and asked: "It's not that I'm ignorant, but can we be less routine, old man, what's your relationship with us, old man, at least explain it clearly."

He is most annoyed by this kind of gossip, and if it were someone else, he would have already started a fight.

This means that Chen Yulou is an elder and has a relationship with Chen Ziyan, otherwise his fat man would not be used to it.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan took over the conversation and asked, "Uncle, this is our first time here, why don't you tell us something."

In fact, he was also quite curious. He only knew about lighting sky lanterns, but he hadn't heard of any special features in the private rooms at the Crescent Hotel.

Chen Yulou treated his nephew very well, so he directly explained the reason: "It's because of the lantern hanging outside."

"Lantern?" Chen Ziyan looked outside curiously, and only then saw the lantern hanging on the side of the box.

Because of the angle problem, he really didn't notice this before, but when he saw the lantern outside the box, he subconsciously thought of lighting the sky lantern.

But when I thought about it, I felt something was wrong. Even if other people had revealed this point during the conversation, the Crescent Hotel would not do such a mindless thing.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan once again set his sights on Chen Yulou. Although he had no evidence, he felt that his uncle knew the answer.

Although Chen Yulou was blind, his heart was open. He understood that these juniors were a little confused, so he said: "This lamp represents the presence of Xiling's lineage."

Hearing Chen Yulou's words, Chen Ziyan suddenly remembered what happened just now, no wonder the gentle woman led them here immediately after seeing Xiao Shenfeng, it was because of this.

Wang Kaixuan, on the other hand, thought of his and Hu Bayi's identities as Captain Mojin, and asked quickly, "Master, do we get this treatment as Captain Mojin?"

Chen Yulou nodded: "Of course there is also the lineage of Mojin. Just show your Mojin Talisman, and someone will take you to the corresponding box."

"Hey, that's a good idea. Next time we come back, let's touch Jin's box, and next time we will take that American girl's box to move mountains." Wang Kaixuan said with a smile when he heard the words.

He thought the idea was so good it would make everyone else's jaws drop.

Regarding the beautiful imagination of this product, no one else said anything.

After they got the answer, they stopped paying attention to this matter. After all, no matter which box it is, strength is still the king in this world.

But the people in the box didn't take it too seriously, which doesn't mean that the people outside can also be indifferent.

For example, the gentle woman who had already brought her young master to the neighborhood couldn't help but stop at this moment.

"Aunt Wan, what's the matter?" Yin Nanfeng, who was at the cardamom age, naturally stopped and looked curiously at his elder.

As the future helm of the Crescent Hotel, she knows very well what Aunt Wan next to her is capable of, and she also knows that she must have her own reasons for being like this.

The gentle woman was pulled back to her senses by Yin Nanfeng's voice, she took a deep look at the door not far away and said, "Miss, let's go to the next room first, I need to ask the adjutant for instructions."

She felt that she had to tell Adjutant Zhang what she had just discovered. If it was true as what she had heard, it meant that the lineage of Xiling was not the only one who was born this time, but also Mojin and Qianshan, whose whereabouts were even more secretive.

For insiders like them, this is shocking news, especially when people from these three factions get together, it will undoubtedly double the shock!
"Are you sure you heard it right?" Adjutant Zhang said he couldn't believe it when he heard the news.

He remembered that the last time this group of people appeared together was in the chaotic period decades ago, and even he had never seen the other two factions, so why did they appear so suddenly now?
"No." The gentle woman nodded firmly.

She is extremely confident in her hearing ability, and at such a close distance, how could she make a mistake.

Adjutant Zhang pondered for a while, and said: "You are right. Don't let Nanfeng pass by. After the auction is over, I will take her to visit."

Anyone with a discerning eye can know the consequences of these three factions mixing together.

You must know that even a single faction can walk on the ground as if walking on the ground. Only that kind of giant mound can stop it, so it can be said that it has enough dominance.

But now that the three of the four factions are gathered together, it can no longer be described as a strong alliance, so even Adjutant Zhang has to take it seriously.

And as someone who knew the recent plans of Master Zhang, Adjutant Zhang knew very well how much this combination would contribute to the entire plan if it could help.

"I understand." The gentle woman nodded.

This is also the purpose of her coming to find the other party. In this situation, it is almost meaningless to ask Yin Nanfeng to come forward.

After the two had a brief conversation, they went to Yin Nanfeng's box together, planning to visit Chen Ziyan and the others after the auction was over.

As time passed, the auction officially began.

Chen Ziyan closed the auction booklet in his hand, got up and went to the seat in the center of the second floor, looking down at the auction platform below like an emperor sitting on the throne.

And the moment Chen Ziyan took his seat, there were bursts of exclamations in the entire Crescent Hotel.

"Isn't this person ignorant of the rules?"

"Do you think people who can sit on the second floor don't understand the rules, and don't see the Xiling lamp hanging in the box they come out of?"

"Xieling, I didn't expect it to appear again now!"

……

Amidst the din of discussions, the gentle woman also walked out of the box beside Chen Ziyan and asked in a low voice, "Master Chen, do you want an electric light?"

Although according to the rules of the Crescent Hotel, one must light a lamp when sitting here, she still asked this question. After all, Chen Ziyan's status is different now.

Faced with such a blatant kindness, Chen Ziyan naturally wouldn't face him coldly, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Naturally."

The purpose of his coming is very simple, that is to stage a blockbuster show and directly make the signboard popular.

After getting an affirmative answer, the gentle woman stopped talking and nodded to the auctioneer on the auction platform below, indicating that she could continue.

At this time, Huo Xiangu, who was in the box opposite, couldn't help showing a look of surprise after seeing Chen Ziyan walk out of the box with the light hanging on it.

She had thought about which family Chen Ziyan was from before, but she had never considered the possibility of Xiling.

This shocked her even more than the fact that Chen Ziyan wanted to light a sky lantern.

But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. As far as she knew, Xiling was a faction that had been passed down for a long time, but as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, the position of chief bandit had already been held by the Chen family in Xiangyin. hand.

Huo Ling next to him was also surprised, and said, "I didn't expect the contemporary heir of Xiling to be so young, he looks similar to me."

Now she is full of curiosity about Chen Ziyan, and she is already thinking about how to get to know him, so as to answer her doubts.

"This kid looks young, but he is much more experienced than you." Hearing what her daughter said, Xiangu Huo couldn't help thinking of the conversation she had with Chen Ziyan a while ago, as well as the news she received recently.

She originally planned to use the opportunity to make Liulichang go soft, so as to complete what she promised, but she didn't want her side to just halfway through, and Chen Ziyan's side used the most concise and effective method to directly scare the group of people to death guts.

Before finding out Chen Ziyan's identity, Huo Xiangu was planning to just let it go, but now she suddenly changed her mind, thinking that it's better to just let it go, and take advantage of this wind to knock down those who had grievances in the past.

The successor of Xiling is worth her investment!
But this matter is not something that can be done with a slap on the head, it must be well thought out, so Huo Xiangu's thoughts slowly shifted to how to do this matter.

Huo Ling didn't know what her mother was thinking. She was looking at Chen Ziyan with great interest as if she was watching a play, and wanted to see how he would face the next thing.

Although she hasn't accepted the family affairs yet, she is still the next head of the Huo family in the mainland of Huo Xiangu. She usually doesn't know too much about it, so she knows that even if Chen Ziyan comes to Jieling, he needs to get a sky lantern if he wants to light it. It takes hard work.

In particular, Xiling has been silent for so many years. In the eyes of many people, it may be just a name, especially for the new generation. It is estimated that few people will be submissive.

In this regard, Huo Ling knows a clear example, that is, the third child of the Wu family who also belongs to the Nine Sects.

That restless guy didn't know what he was thinking in the past two years, but he ran back to Changsha to try to restore the Wu family's handicap.

But she heard that the process was not easy, and up to now, she has only made two small bets, barely gaining a foothold.

So she didn't need to think about it at all, she knew that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.

Sure enough, after a little silence, someone called out the first offer.

"One hundred thousand!"

With this early bird, more people also joined it.

"50 million!"

"60 million!"

"100 million!"

When the price of 100 million appeared, there was a sudden silence in the field, and everyone turned their attention to a box on the second floor.

That last quote is where it comes from.

The first lot in this auction is a plant of medicine, which is considered a rare kind, but because of its relatively partial efficacy, its value is not high, so this price is already a serious premium.

The people in this box suddenly raised the price so high, it was obvious that they wanted to cheat Chen Ziyan.

If Chen Ziyan wanted to successfully light the first lamp, he had to accept this premium.

As the party involved, Chen Ziyan didn't say a word, just glanced at the box lightly, where the rules of lighting the sky lanterns were laid out, it's useless for him to say anything now, it's better to use hard power to speak finally.
