time stop

The merman that Fan Shouguang raised in the mansion couldn't overwhelm him. He looked pleasing to the eye and liked it quite a bit, but if the master spoke, he naturally wanted to listen, so he had no choice but to answer yes, and then went to prepare with tears in his eyes. Regarding posting, he secretly said that the shooting must be more expensive, so as to comfort his wounded heart.

Three days later, a large group of messengers rode out from Haicheng City, and treasure posts were posted round after round, and everyone who could be named received the posts.

At the same time, various legends have spread in various places in China:

"The shark is beautiful, even better than Chang'e in the sky."

"A shark's tears turn into pearls, which can weave gauze clothes worth thousands of gold."

"Drinking the blood of a mermaid can increase one's skill for a hundred years. Clothes made of leather are invulnerable to swords and guns, and lamps lit by mermaid oil are indestructible for a thousand years."

……

All of a sudden, the whole country was talking about the mermaid, and even the inner palace of the royal city was involved. When the chief eunuch talked to the emperor that day, he also pretended to be serious. Only the emperor laughed after hearing it. He smiled, no one knew about Lu Yuan's virtues, and this kind of thing was the rumor he let out.

The March period is approaching, and all the inns in Haicheng are fully occupied. If the shopkeeper hadn’t been asked to reserve guest rooms in advance, there might be no place to stay. It’s a good thing for the casual tourists in the rivers and lakes to watch the excitement. In the past, the most feared are some people who are not rich enough but not self-righteous, which makes the government's mediation a headache.Even Fan Shouguang's and Shi Kai's mansions had people they knew came to borrow them, and only Rongwang's mansion was the most free in Haicheng.

At this time, Yu Sheng had already been sent to the warehouse of Zhenbao Pavilion, waiting for the auction to come, so those who took refuge in Fan Shouguang did not get a glimpse of the rumored mermaid who was popular all over the country.

On the day of the auction of Zhenbao Pavilion, many people gathered in front of the pavilion, but people were guarded at the door, and only those who handed over the post could enter. This made many people who came to join in the fun feel itchy. I want to see what the protagonist of this rumor looks like.But the merman couldn't see it, and it was worthwhile to witness many heroes in the martial arts world.

The Zhenbao Pavilion opened early, and there were people guarding the door early in the morning. Some knowledgeable people pointed out the people who had passed in the posts and introduced them to others, which also attracted a lot of praise for a while.

"This is Wan's family, a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and the leader is Master Wan."

"Oh oh oh, this is the richest man in the world! It seems that the Merman will definitely fall into his hands, and no one else has as much money as him."

"This is Lin Jianfeng, the leader of the martial arts alliance. It is said that kung fu is the best in the world."

"Wow, then he must be very powerful, can one hit ten?"

……

The top floor of the Treasure Pavilion is a private place for the owner of the pavilion. Without the invitation of the owner, it is impossible to set foot on the top floor. Since the establishment of the Treasure Pavilion, no one has been invited inside, so there is no word on what the top floor looks like. people know.

At this moment, on the top floor of the Zhenbao Pavilion, Fan Shouguang was reporting respectfully: "My lord, all the distinguished guests are here, can you go down to see me?"

The owner of the Zhenbao Pavilion, that is, Rong Wang Lu Yuan, is drinking the tribute tea given by the emperor at the window, while watching the bustling downstairs with great interest. I really can't believe it. A quarter of an hour ago, He also asked Fan Shouguang to stand by the window and introduce the incoming guests one by one.

After closing the lid of the cup in his hand and putting the cup on the table, he just brushed off the dust that didn't exist on his clothes, Shi Shiran stood up and said, "Let's go, it's rare for the world's heroes to get together, my king How could you be absent!"

Lu Yuan took the lead to go downstairs, and Fan Shouguang immediately followed behind him. At this time, Shi Kai was already waiting at the entrance of the auction hall. Seeing Lu Yuan coming down, he called the boy to open the door and followed Lu Yuan. Entered the hall behind.

The appearance of Lu Yuan can be regarded as pouring a pot of boiling water before the auction. Immediately, everyone stood up and saluted him.The people around didn't know that Lu Yuan was the owner of the Zhenbao Pavilion, they only regarded him as Lord Rong.

All major families have business houses. Who would want to have someone who can talk to the court so that they can turn themselves into an imperial merchant. As long as they hang up the royal brand, they will naturally have no shortage of money, so they all fawned over Lu Yuan.As for all kinds of people in the arena, they don't like to have anything to do with the court, but they don't want to offend the court. Although they are famous in the arena, they are always no match for the court's millions of elite soldiers. His Majesty's most beloved younger brother.

Lu Yuan also greeted the people around with a smile on his lips, and said politely: "Excuse me, excuse me, you don't have to be polite."

After some courtesies, Lu Yuan was ushered to the front seat by the beautiful maid of Zhenbao Pavilion. There were melon seeds snacks and tea next to him. Everyone had to stand, even Fan Shouguang and Shi Kai stood respectfully behind Lu Yuan.

Not long after, the auction started, and the auction items at the beginning were also rare items, but the degree of rarity was not as rare as that of the sharks.The guests, who knew they couldn't get the Merman, set their sights on other auction items, and the competition was fierce for a while.

White jade butterfly dagger, colorful gemstone hairpin, century-old blood ginseng pill... With the auction of each item, the most anticipated shark finally arrived.

The old man who hosted on the stage said: "More than half of the auction is going on. I think you are a little tired. There is one last item left, and you can rest soon. I will take the last item on the stage. .”

Four or five big men carefully carried out an object that was about one and a half feet wide and ten feet high. It was covered with a black cloth, so that the situation inside could not be seen at all.

The people sitting below knew exactly what was inside, and stretched their necks to wait to see.

The old man who presided over the auction said: "The next thing is our last auction item this time - the shark!"

As soon as the words fell, someone picked up the black cloth, and what suddenly appeared was a square glass vessel less than one and a half feet wide and ten feet high, which was filled with clear sea water, and a merman with a dark blue tail was tightly wrapped around it. Confined to this square inch, he couldn't move, he could only shake his tail slightly, causing a small ripple.

This glass alone cost thousands of dollars, and Fan Shouguang hired a special person from Wangcheng to make it. It is like a display case that exists exclusively for sharks.

The black cloth was lifted, and the merman who felt the light slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were as deep as the blue in the deep sea, but his eyes were bright, like stars in the dark night sky.His long black hair floated slightly in the sea, revealing his beautiful face, like a god.

Yu Sheng opened his eyes and looked around. Everyone was looking at Yu Sheng with fanatical eyes. This was something he had never experienced before. In the clan, he was humiliated because of his thin body and unable to speak, and was eventually expelled from the clan. The clansmen looked at him as if they were looking at a disgrace, with disdain and disgust.At this time, he seemed to be a shark king, surrounded by fanatical gazes, but this kind of gaze was somewhat different. The gazes of these humans present were like sharp knives, which were about to pierce his flesh , gouged out his bones.

The gazes of this group of people are too terrifying, making Yu Sheng a little terrified, he shouldn't be like this, he is a fierce shark, he shouldn't have any timidity, but at this moment he feels that these people are better than him. The crisis encountered in the deep sea is much more terrifying.

The old man who hosted looked at the obsessive and fanatical eyes of most people present, and gave them enough time to appreciate it with great insight, before he said slowly: "Compared to everyone's appreciation, the next step is the auction. The price is 1 taels of gold, and the bidding begins!"

1 taels, not to mention gold or even silver, is enough for a family to live a prosperous life for a lifetime, but such an appalling price did not stop the people present, and fierce bidding began on the scene.

"2 taels of gold!"

"3 taels of gold!"

"8 taels of gold!"

……

The price keeps rising, and in the end, more and more people quit because they couldn't afford it. In the end, the remaining three people still did not give up bidding.

The leader of the Raksha Sect, Ye Luosha, is a beautiful woman. She is already over 30 years old, but her face is still as delicate as a [-]-year-old girl. It is rumored that she will drink the blood of a young girl every night of the full moon.This Rakshasa sect is considered a cult, and the kung fu practiced by the members of the sect is somewhat evil, and they have earned a lot of money by doing evil all these years, and the leader Ye Luosha spends money even more.At this time, she heard that the pearls that the merman's tears turned into powder were ground into powder and applied on the face to keep youth forever, and she couldn't hold back anymore.

Master Wan, the richest businessman in the world, the richer he is, the more he does not want to let go of any method of making money. It is said that sharks are good at weaving yarn. Wet, every inch is worth a hundred gold.Not to mention that he can still shed tears, if he had this shark, wouldn't it be the same as having a golden mountain.

There is another person, the eldest son of the Jiang family, a martial arts family with a century-old heritage and a business name all over the country. No one in the martial arts can compare with the Jiang family in terms of family background, and there are many daughters who are waiting to be married. To be able to marry into Jiang's family.The Young Master of the Jiang family also ranks among the top ten in the martial arts world. At this time, he was entrusted by his father. He didn't know exactly what his father was going to do with the shark, but he did.

Ye Luosha couldn't hold back at first, and shouted: "30 taels of gold!"

The eldest son of the Jiang family played with the tassel on the saber casually, and shouted: "31 taels!"

Ye Luosha gritted his teeth: "32 taels of gold!"

The eldest son of the Jiang family: "32 taels!"

Master Wan has been in the shopping malls for many years, but he still doesn't pay much attention to these two people. While drinking the Biluochun prepared by Zhenbao Pavilion, he waits quietly, waiting for the two people to fight with each other until finally they can't support each other. Call out the final price, after all, the scene of such a fight is really not good.
