bronze door
Chapter 20
Beiping in April and May is already overflowing with ecstasy, no matter how wandering the world is, there will be places that are full of brilliance and do not know the hatred of the country and the family, just like the Crescent Hotel this night, the lights are bright but there are no ordinary restaurants and restaurants The toasts staggered.The inner hall is an old opera garden with two floors. The lower floor is for scattered seats, the upper floor is for private seats, and the middle is hollowed out to the height of two floors, with the stage in the middle.
As a ringing bell spread throughout the venue from downstairs, the curtains of the entire building were drawn one by one, and the surrounding area was completely dark. In the center, a giant crystal chandelier imported from abroad suddenly lit up, creating magnificent light and shadows. , The utensils, carpets, and curtains in the yard suddenly became dim and gorgeous under this light.
The stage was in full swing, and soon it was arranged properly. A glass cabinet booth was put up, and an open sandalwood box was placed inside. The things in it were only the size of a thumb, and some of them could not be seen clearly.At this time, the foreman who had been standing by the side began to speak: "Bosses, the goods are starting to go out now. Look at you guys. If you can't take pictures, there will be no next time."
As he said that, a clerk came out from one side, wearing a sleeveless waistcoat, and holding a very long bamboo pole in his hand. There was a hook on the head of the bamboo pole, and a ring on the top of the glass cabinet. With a hook and a lift, the glass cabinet was lifted up like fishing, and then the glass cabinet was caught with a bamboo pole, like a clothes fork to dry clothes, and sent to the box in the middle of the fork.
The guy's workmanship is extremely stable, he held the bamboo pole upstairs without shaking his hands, and sent them one by one along the outer edge of the balcony of the second floor.
The guests in the private room didn't reach out to pick them up, and they couldn't pick them up either. They just kept an arm's length away, and they just glanced at them, but they could see clearly that there was a small piece of paper in the box. Small copper fish, the appearance of the fish is very ordinary, but the workmanship is very fine, especially the place where the eyebrows above the eyes of the fish looks like a snake, the workmanship is very high-quality, and each scale is very delicate and lifelike.
Soon, the things were put away and put back in the center of the stage, and then the bells were picked up one by one with bamboo poles, and they were also sent one by one. After the bells were distributed, it started immediately. Fork up something alone.
It is a small lantern, only the size of a small watermelon, with a small candle inside, and the cloth is blue, very dark, and it is not for lighting at first glance.
As soon as that thing appeared, there was a small commotion in the whole scene at first, and then the commotion gradually turned into an uproar, and all the eyes of the audience were focused on that private room.
The lantern was taken over and hung on a hook on the pillar on the right side of the room.The entire venue suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
This way of playing, when singing, selling and auctioning, it is called lighting the sky lanterns, which means a private room. In a box, there are two main seats on the left and right, and the one on the right is the lamp holder. Someone can sit on the right side of any box. On the seat, it means that no matter what is sold in this round, no matter how much money is auctioned in the end, I will automatically add a vote, which is equivalent to, no matter how the people in the venue play, I will order this thing.
After the applause, another guy came up and knocked around the venue with a gong. The whole venue was instantly silent. Obviously, the auction had officially started.
The asking price in this auction was signaled by ringing bells. At the beginning, all the bells were ringing, and everyone was chasing the price. The scene seemed very chaotic for a while, but it gradually became quiet after a while. The bidding price of the first lot, has stopped.
After a short break, the foreman presented the second lot of the evening.In the same glass cabinet, this time there is a brocade that looks like a map.Similarly, after a display, a second "sky lantern" was hung up in the private room at the same location.After a sound of gongs, there was another round of bell-ringing auctions, but this time the scene was not as hot as the first round.
Many people were a little suspicious by the decisive hanging of the second "sky lantern".This method of lighting sky lanterns is generally very rare in shooting studios, especially hanging single lanterns, which is even more cruel.You have to carry it at one point until the end of the auction. No one knows what price this thing will fetch, and the only chance for other auctioneers to get the collection is to blow up this lamp and bid desperately. The price was raised to a very high level, so that the person who lit the sky lantern could not afford the price. Once this happened, the last bidder would get the auction item, and the person who lit the sky lantern had to pay for his own price. There is a price to be paid for behavior, sometimes it is money, sometimes it may be organs like fingers, in short, the price is extremely painful, because the backstage boss must let everyone know that this is not something for games.Therefore, people who light sky lanterns must weigh their own weight, it is not something that ordinary people can play with money.
Now the master in the private room not only hung a single lamp, but also lit two lamps in succession.This made other bidders secretly guess the identity of the owner, and instead dare not bid lightly.
"These two things can really attract the members of the Zhang family to show up." Er Yuehong stood in the background, smiling meaningfully.
Wang Qingtong glanced at him expressionlessly, "Second master's success is just around the corner. The money burned by these two sky lanterns is enough for you to deal with Saito Saito a few times."
"All I know is that the Zhang family is a family of tomb robbers. I didn't expect the family to be so rich and unfathomable." Er Yuehong paused for a while when she said this: "It's just that you really don't care about any money, fame, or fortune when you plan and plan like this. Just want to see the head of the Zhang family? The whereabouts of the head of the Zhang family are mysterious, have you ever thought about it, maybe there is no chance to see him at all."
You'll know later, the real reason for this good show tonight.
"Second Lord, have you ever seen the grand occasion of lighting three sky lanterns in a row within the Forty-Nine Imperial City?"
Er Yuehong's face became condensed: "Didn't you say before that what the Zhang family is looking for is the map of the underground palace structure of the Snake Eyebrow Copper Fish and Yunding Tiangong? Is there anything else that is worth hanging up the lamp to ask for?"
"Bronze fish, map, the Zhang family really wants to get it, but ordinary people also want to get it. So, if this is the Zhang family, you can find out by looking at the next reaction." After finishing speaking, Wang Qingtong slowly walked up to the stage.
At this time, I only heard the foreman in the middle of the stage laugh a few times: "Bosses, the third thing I brought to you is a... it is a miracle, it is the miracle that everyone dreams of, and it is given to you by the heavens." A miracle, a miracle that your eyes have never seen!...Everyone, please see, that miracle is here."
His tone of voice was full of incitement and temptation, and everyone present couldn't help but look towards his finger.
At this glance, there was a burst of exclamation in the entire venue-the "miracle" that the foreman said appeared in the center of the stage.
The young woman in plain white clothes stands gracefully, like a fairy in the clouds, with a moonlight-like quietness and indifference, every frown and smile has the power to overturn all living beings.
Just looking at her, standing there timidly, her delicate and delicate face, coupled with her charming and charming demeanor, is already very sultry.
A pair of gentle and clear eyes flashed with frightened and shy light from time to time, like a frightened elk.
Under everyone's eyes, her exquisite and attractive body was trembling slightly, she looked so delicate and delicate, I felt sorry for her.
At that moment, everyone who saw her wished they could hold this poor deer in their arms and comfort her heart with the most tender words they knew.
After the gong sounded, only the bells in the arena rang crazily, one after another, and the scene was unprecedentedly hot and chaotic.It's just that the private room with two blue lanterns hanging there seemed to be empty, and there was no movement at all.
After an unknown amount of time, a person suddenly shouted: "Although this beauty is moving, this place is not a place for fireworks and moonlight. It would be far-fetched to call it a "miracle".
As soon as the voice fell, all the ringing of the bells stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at the foreman in the middle of the stage with suspicion and expectation in their eyes.
"Of course, bosses, all of you should keep an eye on this, and don't blink."
Speaking of the previous glass cabinet, it was moved to the front of the stage again.Only this time, it was densely packed, as if it was full of things.It was only when the glass cabinet was forked in front of him that it was clearly seen that it was crawling with blue-gray corpse turtles.After everyone saw clearly, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The corpse turtle is a scavenging social animal that feeds on carrion corpses and small creatures that stray into the water. It often accumulates around the floating corpses, gathers in piles, and preys on each other.Those who are knowledgeable know that in Douli, the corpse turtle is the nemesis of tomb robbers. When encountering a corpse turtle, if there is no convenient tool, it is likely to die.
When the cabinet was forked back to the stage, it was placed firmly beside the woman on the stage.Only then did everyone notice that there was an extra sharp dagger in the foreman's hand, which had been unsheathed, and the cold light was faint. Before the others could react, he raised the woman's left hand and scratched it on the back of the hand without hesitation. .
Immediately, the blood flowed drop by drop onto the top of the glass cabinet, and gradually seeped into the cabinet from the side seam.A moment later, the blood-stained cabinet was forked up again, and after a closer look, everyone was stunned. Those corpses crawling around inside were all dead in an instant. .The corpse turtle is actually very tenacious in its vitality. It is generally difficult to die easily except for cutting it into pieces. Even if there is a medicine stone, it can only be avoided temporarily.The fresh blood that the woman dripped on it could have such an effect that the whole group of corpses would die in an instant, it is simply unbelievable.If the miraculous effect of this blood is real, then her value, in the eyes of these insiders, can be raised to such an extent that it is not only measured by money.
The atmosphere of the entire venue suddenly became silent and strange.The foreman's voice sounded again: "Bosses, this time you really saw it. Isn't this a "miracle"? Such a person is a "gift from God" "Ah. You can hold the rattle in your hand tightly. After this is over, there will be no next time."
After a short period of silence, the ringing bells erupted from the entire yard, as if the roof was about to be broken through. The chaos lasted for more than half an hour, and the ringing of the bells in the venue gradually faded away.Of course, the auction price at this time has already reached an unattainable price for an unusually high lot.
The bidding was still going on, and everyone was holding their breath, sweating slightly, and watching eagerly.In the private room where two blue lanterns were hung, there was still no third lantern. This made the bidders feel a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and they continued to increase the price even more desperately.
"Everyone, it's the last three bids. You should think about it and ring the bell again!"
When it finally came to the final bidding time, the venue was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.Everyone's eyes and thoughts were deeply sucked in by the current atmosphere.At this time, in the familiar private room, where the hanging buckle was still placed, the third sky lantern was hung high.
This time, even the foreman on the stage showed surprise—lighting three lamps in a row, after this scene, it can be said that it is famous in four or nine cities.This master, it is best to have a family background that is invincible, or have the ability to reach heaven and earth, otherwise, if these three lamps are lit tonight, no matter how rich the family is, the master of the game may not be enough to go bankrupt of.
When everyone was still immersed in a trance of astonishment, no one noticed the woman on the stage. She took a deep look at the three lanterns and smiled knowingly at the corner of her mouth.
