Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

"If there is a person in the mountains, he is covered with lychee and lady's vine.

It is easy to smile at the same time, and I admire you for being so graceful and graceful.

Riding a red leopard and following a catfish, riding a magnolia chariot..."

A piece of pipa and a mountain ghost, his feelings are searching and his voice is cold and sad.

Shen Yichen sat in a private room on the second floor, listening to the melancholy and graceful sound of the pipa downstairs, intoxicated. The song "Nine Songs: Mountain Ghost" slowly quieted down the originally noisy auction house.

The building of Yaoyu Auction House is called Yaoyu Pavilion, with a total of five floors. Although Yaoyu Auction House does not accept deposits, seats in Yaoyu Pavilion must be purchased! Money refers to spiritual treasures, of course. As the floors go up, the price of seats also gradually increases, but auction items can be seen on every floor, because Yaoyu Pavilion is hollow. Except for the first floor with ordinary tables and chairs, the second, third, fourth and fifth floors are all private rooms. The second floor is separated by partition screens, and the third floor and above are small closed rooms.

The auction items are placed on a high platform in the middle of the hall, which is exactly as high as the second floor, so the second floor has the highest view and the clearest view of the auction items. Of course, the seat prices are much higher than the first floor. The third and fourth floors are occupied by people of status or those who are not willing to show themselves in public. I don’t know about the fifth floor, because Ouyang Jinyu has never seen anyone on the fifth floor of Yaoyu Pavilion, let alone Shen Yichen and the other two. I don’t know whether my sister has seen them or not!

After the song was over, Shen Yichen said with emotion:

“I didn’t expect to hear such elegant pipa music at Yaoyu Auction House!”

Mu Wanqian looked at Shen Yichen who looked intoxicated and asked:

"Coward, you know music? I didn't realize it!"

"Sister Qian, my big brother is very good!"

A-mei compared several ways of addressing Shen Yichen, and she still prefers to call Shen Yichen "Big Brother"!

Shen Yichen glared at both of them and sighed in his heart:

"We got familiar with each other so quickly, Sister Qian! Oh my god! I still feel scared when I hear the word Qian'er. It turns out that men and women are different!"

While sighing, he secretly glanced at Xixi!

Xixi was staring at Shen Yichen with a strange look at this moment, muttering to herself:

"I didn't realize he also understands music!"

When their eyes met, they both looked away in panic!

As for A-mei, she seemed to be very interested in Xixi. She never left her side along the way and didn't stick to Shen Yichen anymore!

After a piece of pipa music, Yaoyu Pavilion became very quiet because everyone knew that the auction was about to begin tonight!

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray gown with gold trim and a black mole under his lip walking to the auction table, standing on the stage and saying loudly:

"Welcome all fellow Taoists to the Yuyang County Yaoyu Auction House. There are five items for auction tonight. I hope you will return with satisfaction!"

There was only whispering on the first floor, and no sound above the second floor. Shen Yichen now had the opportunity to look around.

"Hey, it's true that we meet everywhere in life!"

Shen Yichen saw Cui Qingquan, the young master of Yanyue Sect, and his third uncle, who were also on the second floor, but Zhao Longnan was not there. Lv Jiayao of Zixia Sect and one of her fellow elders were also there. He seemed to have seen the others at lunch. How could Shen Yichen not know that there was only one cultivator activity in Yuyang County? How could everyone not come to watch the fun? And what if there was a chance to pick up a bargain?

I glanced at the lobby on the first floor again and could only see some people.

"Oh my god! Why is he here too?"

Shen Yichen quickly withdrew his gaze, because he saw the old man in black who had pushed the three of them off the cliff, now sitting at a table in the lobby on the first floor. Shen Yichen wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate, but then he thought better of it. There was a large formation outside the Yaoyu Auction House, and who knows what was inside the Yaoyu Pavilion!

"The first lot to be auctioned tonight comes from a fellow Taoist in Yanquan. It is a spiritual music score called "Soul Burial Song"! The score is shrouded in spiritual energy, and no one knows what it is specifically for. The starting price is three thousand spiritual treasures!"

Everyone was shocked. First, the starting price of the first item was ridiculously high. Second, it was too niche to be auctioned for just a piece of music score. At the same time, everyone was looking forward to it. There must be a treasure tonight, because generally the items at the end are better, and of course the prices are higher. The first item started at three thousand spiritual treasures, which meant that the items later on must be priceless!

Actually, Yaoyu Auction House held an auction tonight, and there were still many ideas. First, it was rare for Yuyang County to gather so many cultivators. Second, the Vast Desert would be accessible soon. If we auctioned some treasures, people would be willing to pay for them. Maybe they would be useful after entering the Vast Desert! So the starting price tonight was set high! Just to make a big profit!

Shen Yichen did something that caused everyone to laugh. After the middle-aged man with the black mole finished introducing himself, Shen Yichen stood up and shouted:

“I want this music score!”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone laughed. The old man in black on the first floor was surprised to see Shen Yichen, and at the same time felt it was ridiculous. He whispered:

"This boy is so cute!"

Shen Yichen was completely confused! Mu Wanqian had already pulled him back to his seat and scolded him:

"Coward, you don't understand so just sit there, okay? Even if you want it, you have to pretend you don't want it! What if others raise the price for you? Besides, you can't just say you want it, learn something!"

Mu Wanqian shouted calmly:

"Three thousand spiritual treasures!"

Everyone on the first floor was whispering. They didn't expect that a cultivator would play this broken music score. They couldn't understand it. Wasn't it a secular thing? Could it be that just because it was covered with spiritual energy, it was a cultivation thing?

Everyone was confused, but the voice seemed to be coming from the same direction as the man just now, so everyone guessed that they were together. Of course, Shen Yichen and Mu Wanqian were together!

Shen Yichen was embarrassed and sighed in his heart:

“So they just called out the price!”

As a result, he did something that left Mu Wanqian and the other three speechless. They only heard Shen Yichen shouting:

"Four thousand spiritual treasures!"

Ouyang Jinyu directly spat out the tea in her mouth, looking confused!

"You country bumpkin, are you sick? The lady has already made an offer, why are you still yelling?"

Xixi pulled Mu Wanqian, who was about to lose her temper, and said something loudly!

Shen Yichen said helplessly:

"Didn't Brother Ouyang say that the highest bidder wins?"

Xixi said:

"Yes, but didn't the young lady call for three thousand spiritual treasures?"

Shen Yichen seemed to have realized what was happening. He thought Mu Wanqian was just teaching him how to take a photo! He quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't understand!"

Who knew that at this moment, A-mei shouted:

"Five thousand spiritual treasures!"

The four of them looked at Ah Mei at the same time and asked in unison:

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Ouyang Jinyu's heart was bleeding, because he guessed that he would have to pay for it in the end. For some unknown reason, his own people added two thousand spiritual treasures.

A-mei looked indifferent and said:

"It's fun!"

Mu Wanqian said the words that Shen Yichen was most familiar with.

"What kind of people are these?"

In fact, Mu Wanqian and Xixi were prepared for something to go wrong, but they didn't expect this to happen! It was so unexpected!

It wasn't just Mu Wanqian and the others who were surprised. Everyone in the entire Yaoyu Pavilion was in a daze, because the people bidding all came from the same place, but each time they bid higher than the last. How could someone raise the price for themselves?

The middle-aged man with the black mole was also confused at this time, and said to himself:

"What's going on?"

But he still said:

"Five thousand spiritual treasures, are there any fellow Taoists who would like to make an offer?"

"Six thousand spiritual treasures!"

Cui Qingquan, the young master of Yanyue Sect, who was diagonally opposite Shen Yichen, looked at Shen Yichen and his companions with a playful expression.

"Qingquan, what are you doing?"

The third uncle next to him didn't expect Cui Qingquan to raise the price!

Cui Qingquan turned around and said respectfully to Third Uncle:

"Third Uncle, I will avenge my uncle at Lingxu Mountain! This kid opposed us everywhere at Lingxu Mountain!"

"You spent six thousand spiritual treasures to buy a piece of music. Be careful or your father will put you in solitary confinement when you get back!"

Cui Qingquan said confidently:

"Don't worry, Third Uncle-Master, that kid will definitely raise the price!"

As he expected, Shen Yichen shouted again:

"Seven thousand spiritual treasures!"

One is that Shen Yichen wanted to get the music score, and the other is that he had no idea about spiritual treasures, and didn't know what the seven thousand spiritual treasures were!

"Eight thousand spiritual treasures!"

Cui Qingquan looked at Shen Yichen provocatively, but thought in his heart:

"Damn it, you stole my woman, this time I'll make you vomit blood!"

"You country bumpkin, what are you doing? You can buy the sheet music anywhere else, why did you buy it?"

Xixi was perplexed as she tried to persuade Shen Yichen, but Shen Yichen asked a question that made everyone spit out their tea.

"Xixi, how many taels of silver are eight thousand spiritual treasures equivalent to?"

Ouyang Jinyu was heartbroken and said to herself:

"Oh my god, where did this person come from? How come he doesn't understand anything?"

Xixi didn't know how to explain, so she said:

"Eight thousand spiritual treasures are equivalent to eight thousand taels of silver!"

This time it was Shen Yichen's turn to spray tea, and the key point was that it all sprayed on Xixi's clothes!

"you you!"

Xixi looked at Shen Yichen angrily, she was really mad!

But Mu Wanqian shouted again at this time:

“Nine thousand spiritual treasures!”

Before they could even get surprised, they heard Cui Qingquan, the young master of Yanyue Sect, continue to raise the price.

"Ten thousand spiritual treasures!"

Mu Wanqian happily took a sip of tea and said:

"Coward, we don't want the music score anymore. I'll buy you ten copies tomorrow!"

Shen Yichen and the other three seemed to understand at this time, and Shen Yichen didn't dare to bid anymore. When he knew that eight thousand spiritual treasures were equivalent to eight thousand taels of silver, he didn't dare to bid anything. This was too exaggerated!

Xixi asked weakly:

"Miss, are you trying to trick the guy who teased you?"

Cui Qingquan hadn't heard Shen Yichen's bid for a long time! His heart sank, and he felt something was wrong:

"It's over, I've been tricked!"

Looking up in the direction of Shen Yichen and the others, Mu Wanqian was actually distributing wine to them! She even raised the wine jug in her hand provocatively to Cui Qingquan, as if to congratulate him on his successful bid!

At this time, his third uncle cursed:

"Qingquan, what are you doing?"

Cui Qingquan was depressed! You know, as the young master, the spiritual treasures he could control were only 30,000 at most, and he brought them all tonight, and he spent 10,000 before bidding for other things. The key point was that it was a useless music score! At this moment, his heart was like entering an ice cellar! It was so cold.

"Eleven thousand spiritual treasures!"

Inside Yaoyu Pavilion, someone raised the price again, throwing Cui Qingquan's heart of ice into the fire!

I don't know if it was intentional or for some other reason, so I shouted:

"Who is it? You are so blind, stealing my big brother's things!

Twelve thousand spiritual treasures!"
