Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

The host introduced the three small boxes on the tray carried by the maid.

"The auction items for this round of distinguished guests are: three medicinal herbs: unicorn root, deer live grass, and blue snake gallbladder.

Since these three herbs require special methods to preserve, in order to ensure their efficacy, they will be temporarily kept by the Crescent Hotel during the auction.

After the auction ends, the goods will be delivered immediately to the owner for inspection. The highest bidder will win this round of brocade boxes.

We will be doing a blind shoot. "

Qi Tiezui stood up immediately after hearing this, "What? Blind shooting!

So how do we know which brocade box contains what we want? !

This is too shameless. "

Chu Ning also looked at Zhang Qishan in surprise.

“Lord Buddha, if we shoot blindly, don’t we have to shoot all three?

And you can only get the medicinal materials by photographing them first. "

Zhang Qishan's brows had not relaxed since the beginning. His voice was calm and his expression was calm, soothing Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui.

"'There is no turning back'. Let's take a test shot first to find out their details."

Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui nodded. Zhang Qishan was the backbone at this moment.

The host announced the bidding, “The first lot in the second round has a minimum starting price of 200,000 yuan.

Now, the bidding begins. "

After the host finished speaking, the first bidding sound of the second round came from the box on the second floor that was blocked by a green screen.

When the bidding bell in the box on the second floor rings, the light in the upper right corner of the box will also light up in response to the ringing.

The person in the box was Jude Kao who came to Peiping from Changcheng to avoid the spy sent by Adjutant Zhang to keep an eye on the American Chamber of Commerce.

Judecao put down the tea cup in his hand and pressed the bidding bell button prepared by Crescent Hotel on the table.

There is also paper, pen and abacus on the table beside Judecao to facilitate recording the price of each auction.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of ringing came from the box next door to the box where Zhang Qishan and the other three were sitting, where Baylor, a descendant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was sitting.

All the guests downstairs were talking about it.

"What kind of medicinal materials are these? I have never heard of them. I have never heard of them."

"I once accidentally saw in ancient books that this blue snake is a venomous snake that grows in extremely cold places.

It has a blue body, golden eyes, and is extremely poisonous..."

The president of the Japan Chamber of Commerce followed suit and pressed the bell button.

"This blue snake is rare to see in a hundred years, but this snake gallbladder is a good medicine for treating diseases."

"Such a precious medicinal material appears here!"

Accompanied by the discussion of the guests downstairs.

Zhang Qishan personally pressed the button and participated in the bidding.

The guests downstairs who know these three herbs are still telling the story to those who don’t know.

"That Qilinjie, is it the rumored magical medicine that can protect you from all poisons and repel insects and evil spirits?"

"It seems so."

Yin Xinyue watched Zhang Qishan press the ring button repeatedly, smiled with satisfaction and leaned on the sofa, staring at Zhang Qishan's position on the second floor.

From time to time, he would also pay attention to Chu Ning, who was nervously following Zhang Qishan next to him.

After all, the guests were all dignitaries, and there were many knowledgeable people.

“Deer live grass, this is even more rare.

I also heard my grandparents say, "Kill a deer to take out its internal organs and fill it with grass, and the deer will survive." '

This is a life-extending treasure that can bring people back to life. "

"Oh~ So that's it!"

The guests downstairs immediately understood the value of these three herbs, and couldn't help but be speechless when they heard the ringing of bells one after another on the second floor.

After several rounds, guests on the first floor were sporadically participating in the bidding, but now only those on the second floor, Zhang Qishan, Jude Kao, the president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and Manqing Baylor, were constantly ringing the bidding bell.

Judecao kept thinking about the abacus, and his fingers on the abacus stopped during the bidding gap.

Chu Ning calculated the number of rings in her mind, and the bidding price was already as high as two million.

The president of the Japan Chamber of Commerce grabbed the armrest of his chair and took advantage of the gap to tell his men, "Light the sky lantern."

After receiving the order, the subordinate walked to the fence on the second floor and said in the direction of the host.

"Host, our Chamber of Commerce requests to light sky lanterns."

The host nodded slightly.

"Okay. Light the lamp."

The guests on the first floor were a little anxious. They saw the fierce bidding on the second floor, but they didn't want the people they hated to get the upper hand. "The Japanese are lighting up sky lanterns. What a harm!"

I really hope that someone who can compete with the Japanese will appear at this time.

Not long after, a classical palace lantern with a lampshade made of white jade and surrounded by golden nanmu was carried by an attendant on a long pole and hung at the window of the box where the Japan Chamber of Commerce was located.

Yin Xinyue sat up straight and stopped eating dried fruit. She looked a little nervous and focused on the second floor.

Qi Tiezui stood up and walked to the railing, opened the bead curtain, and said to Zhang Qishan, "Sir, the Japanese are lighting sky lanterns."

Zhang Qishan, on the other hand, didn't understand the meaning of lighting sky lanterns at the Crescent Hotel, so he asked.

"What does it mean to light a sky lantern?"

Qi Tiezui had learned about the auction rules of the Crescent Hotel as early as the second day after arriving at the Crescent Hotel.

He also discussed with Chu Ning that it is really easy for rich people to make money.

Qi Tiezui then introduced it to Zhang Qishan, "This sky lantern lighting means booking the venue in the auction house.

No matter what is bought in this round and what the price is, it will be paid for by the person who lights the sky lantern. "

Zhang Qishan looked solemn, "You mean this brocade box belongs to them, right?"

Zhang Qishan's heart and eyes were filled with thoughts. Since he agreed to Erxin Hong, he must buy back the medicine.

Qi Tiezui nodded and said hesitantly, "That's what it means.

but……"

Zhang Qishan asked patiently.

"But what?"

Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui looked at each other, and then said, "They lighted the lanterns, so we can light the lanterns too."

I didn't say it directly because this lamp fight is no different from burning money.

"That's what it means. If two families fight for lanterns, the one with the highest price will get it."

Qi Tiezui nodded in agreement, raised his hands and drew two arcs in the air, and finally touched each other.

Qi Tiezui was still worried about Zhang Qishan, so he closed his hands and persuaded Zhang Qishan.

"Master, but you have to think clearly.

If the lights turn on today, less than half of our family assets will be gone, hiss~"

Qi Tiezui felt distressed just thinking about it.

"But we can't do it without fighting lanterns. We don't know which brocade box contains 'deer live grass'."

Chu Ning spoke calmly and described the current situation.

Qi Tiezui looked at Zhang Qishan with a sigh, "Lord Buddha, Xiao Ning is right.

Our lamp must be fought.

The medicine we want is in this box, right? "

Zhang Qishan was as motionless as a mountain, giving Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui a great sense of security.

“Wherever there are three choices, no one can be let go.

point. "

"Hey." Qi Tiezui responded, and then shouted downstairs.

"Light up!"

Yin Xinyue smiled reassuringly.

Not long after, the sky lantern was also hung in the box where Zhang Qishan was sitting. Manqing Baylor next door turned the ring on his finger and looked at the room next to him with interest.

Only Zhang Qishan's silhouette could be vaguely seen, with a moon-white figure sitting next to him.
