Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 67

After a lot of tossing, we finally got our reward.

It was cash in a metal suitcase, and it wasn't nearly full.

The quarrel between the two sides was not very pleasant. It is conceivable that Li Jun, who recommended us to come over, would be a little difficult to do in their Wang family.

But we can't control this matter.

Before this, we didn't expect that Tangtang Jiushu would choose to repay his savior by reneging on debts, let alone that he would be so tolerant to the second son who wanted to murder him and seize the family property. He didn't even bear the prison he deserved.

This does not mean that he is a benevolent person, because for those of us who have saved his life, he wants to drive us away through the expiration of our pass, so as to avoid the embarrassment of meeting.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

If it wasn't for the sake of money, we wouldn't bother with such people at all.

After tearing my face, I took a suitcase of cash, and Ma Yi'ao put away the spider and scorpion. The two left Uncle Jiu's company and found a place near the auction. Stay in a hotel and wait for the auction tomorrow.

Fortunately, the other party was quite sensible, and did not rush to call the police, nor made any further announcements.

In fact, it would be very embarrassing for them if the matter spread.

I am a little nervous about this matter. After all, after being cheated by others, there is always some anxiety. On the contrary, Ma Yi'ao is very open-minded. After analyzing it with me, he let me relax and take care of my body and mind, so that I can face tomorrow. auctions.

After all, there are still many variables in this matter, and it may not be smooth sailing.

Through this incident, I had deep doubts about human nature, but Ma Yi'ao took it for granted, and said to me: "One kind of rice supports all kinds of people, and we can't just generalize it and define it arbitrarily because of such a thing. "

After a lot of tossing, the next day, around three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Sau Mau Ping, Kwun Tong, and arrived at the XX building.

But I wandered around for a long time, but couldn't find the so-called basement.

Only underground parking.

Like headless flies, Ma Yi'ao and I wandered around the parking lot for a long time, and saw nothing except a few orioles.

This situation makes us all have some self-doubt.

For a while, we felt that Huang Mao Yuchi was playing with us, and for a while, we felt that we had misheard the address that day.

Until 04:30, luxury cars entered the parking lot one after another, and then drove into a narrow and dark corridor on the left, and we didn't realize it until they disappeared.

there.

The two followed the car and walked in. Halfway through, someone stopped us in the dark and said in a deep Cantonese voice, "Misters, are you going the wrong way? This is a private place, no trespassing allowed."

Ma Yi'ao took out the invitation letter and said, "We are here to participate in the auction."

A bright light appeared from the front and shone on the invitation letter in Ma Yi'ao's hand, and then an Indian boy came out from the darkness.

He took the invitation letter, checked it, then bowed and handed it back, and said, "Follow me."

This voice is not the same as the voice that warned us before.

After he turned around, the light disappeared immediately, and I felt a discomfort in my retina, and then followed the man walking in the dark. After about 20 seconds, I turned a corner and came to a compartment with dim lights.

The Indian boy handed us two silicone masks and said, "Boss, put this on."

We took the mask, put it on after looking at it, and found that mine was a rooster's head, while Ma Yi'ao's was a funny dog's head.

The mask has a rubber band to tie the head, not as dull as imagined, but very breathable and close to the face.

After putting on the mask, the Indian boy led us to an elevator.

It is different from the elevator. It is driven by an old-fashioned mechanism. When the iron fence is closed, it will go down and make a creaking sound.

At the top of the lift, there is a dark and narrow space, but at the bottom, it is brightly lit. After walking on the smooth marble floor tiles, after walking through a ten-meter long corridor, you come to a small hall, and you can see that there is a luxurious and thick cashmere carpet here. , a tall marble sculpture stands next to it, and the decoration is luxurious and elegant.

There are waiters wearing half masks, suits and bow ties, and bunny girls who shuttle among them like butterflies, and at the end of the small hall, the door is ajar,

Men in handmade suits and women in expensive evening gowns came and went.

The other side of the door is resplendent and magnificent.

After the Indian boy saluted us and left, a man wearing a mask that only covered his eyes and nose came up to us. After bowing to us, he asked, "You two are regular customers of our Hengfeng underground auction. Is it your first time?"

Ma Yi'ao touched the funny dog's face, hesitated, and said, "This is my first time."

The masked man said enthusiastically: "Then let me introduce the process and rules of the auction to the two of you, okay?"

Ma Yi'ao nodded, saying yes.

The masked man led us to the end of the small hall, and said: "Hengfeng Underground Auction is a professional club with a long history of 35 years. We have a good reputation, strict security measures, and a wealth of auction items, which attract Professionals from all over the world come to attend the conference. We are here in the entry hall, walk from the left, there is a rest area and restaurant, all the services in the rest area are free, and on the right is a VIP casino, if you like Playing cards, after the auction is over, you can also go there to play two hands."

"The front is our auction venue. There are numbers on the invitation letters in the two hands. You sit down according to the number. After a while, the auction will start. The auctioneer will show the items one after another, and then show the starting price and the minimum bid increase. Finally, after the transaction is confirmed I have a small card here, you two can refer to it."

"By the way, there is one more thing, which is capital verification. We will conduct a capital verification process for all participants in a while, which can be in cash, or check the deposit amount of a designated account, etc..."

After this person told us about it in detail, he led us to a window for capital verification.

Then he led us to sit down in front of a circle of sofas in the auction venue.

The auction venue is not very big. Unlike the stereotyped venue, it is more like an entertainment club, consisting of circles of sofas. When we arrived, we roughly took a look. There were about 80 people participating in the auction. Sitting on more than [-] groups of sofas, and on the center stage are exhibition and auction tables.

The surrounding lights are dim, but there are lights on the auction platform, and there is a screen next to it to enlarge the exhibition area, which looks very professional.

As soon as we sat down, a tall and beautiful bunny girl came over and asked if we wanted drinks, which were provided for free.

After waiting like this, at exactly five o'clock, a skinny man with glasses walked up to the stage, knocked on the auction gavel, and announced the start.

I looked around and found that there were just a few more people.

Not many people.

The first item to be auctioned was actually a set of talismans from Longquan Mountain.

This set of talismans was created ten years ago by the master talisman maker An Youdao. There are eight talismans in a set, including the hell-breaking mantra, the body-cleaning mantra, the Duli Hanting mantra, the incense-wishing mantra, the mouth-cleaning mantra, and the mind-cleaning mantra. , Andi mantra, Jingtiandi mantra, everything that one expects to find, very comprehensive.

The starting price started at US$[-], and it started at US$[-]. After some looting, the lot was sold for US$[-], which was considered very lively.

I was a little startled, and asked in a low voice: "I always see you using talismans when you have something to do. Are these things really expensive?"

Ma Yi'ao told me that he knew a buddy from Longquan Mountain, and that buddy drew these talismans for him for free, and he was not ranked in the Longquan Mountain talisman sect; The big experts other than the suzerain of the Talisman Sect were at their peak ten years ago, so this thing is like a stamp for the Year of the Monkey. In addition to being practical, it is also very valuable for collection...

I listened to him explain it to me, and my mind was a little messed up.

Then a few more things were auctioned off, such as mountain stone jade, durian stone, lihuazhi, floating fairy fruit, etc., all of which I had never heard of.

These are very gunslinger's stuff, not only did not have any unsold, but the price was several times higher than the starting price.

We were not interested in this, so we began to study the security situation of the venue, and found that although the atmosphere on the surface of the venue was very relaxed, in a few inconspicuous corners, there were powerful masters sitting in charge.

These people, from the figures standing at will, can feel their strength.

I also feel that someone is deliberately releasing the powerful aura of their own night crawler, which is obviously to deter any Xiaoxiao with evil intentions.

Including us.

The auction continued, and there was a small climax when the tenth lot was auctioned. This thing was actually a demon refining ball——different from Ma Yi'ao's, there were many reliefs on the surface of this demon refining ball, the color of bronze, Quite historic.

This thing is said to be hundreds of years old, and it can hold a fully awakened night crawler inside.

Because of this, it has been greatly sought after, and finally it was auctioned by a Japanese-speaking guest, and the auction price reached 73 US dollars.

When I heard the price came out, Ma Yi'ao and I looked at each other, gasped, and felt flustered.

This is the first time the price has exceeded $50.

Rich people really have a lot.

The auction was still going on, and high prices came out one after another, and when the three snow python beads were brought out, Ma Yi'ao and I almost stood up.

This thing was introduced very tall and fancy, but I knew that this thing was the stone that Smiley Tiger took out from the giant python in the secret realm of Ba Xia.

This thing is here, which means that the Houtu Lingzhu will definitely not be able to escape.

However, the final auction value of this thing made one's scalp tingle, and the three parties kept chasing it, and finally it was auctioned for the highest price in the audience.

$150.

Scary.

Ma Yi'ao and I were a little desperate. Sure enough, when the stone wrapped in dried meat was displayed in high-strength bulletproof glass, the auctioneer introduced its origin and suggested that it was suspected to be the legendary " At the time of Houtu Lingzhu", the whole audience was boiling.

And when the auctioneer knocked the hammer to start the auction, the reserve price went from 20 US dollars to 100 million in an instant.

And the price only stayed for two seconds, and someone directly called for more than 200 million.

Seeing the auction scene in full swing, Ma Yi'ao and I looked at each other, our hearts filled with despair.
