Qingyue Temple

Fang Shanshui got into Chris's car with the figurine of Master. The auction venue is located in the bustling downtown area of ​​N State. It looks like a large opera hall, and it looks quite luxurious.

While introducing this auction to Fang Shanshui, Chris led Fang Shanshui into the venue. When he handed out the invitation letter, the middle-aged man standing by the waiter and wearing unilateral glasses suddenly took a look at Fang Shanshui and asked Said: "Do you want to enter the auction venue on the first floor, or the second floor?"

Chris was pleasantly surprised, and just about to open his mouth to speak for Fang Shanshui who was a little confused, the waiter over there who was checking the invitation letter explained to the middle-aged man: "Manager, their invitation letter is on the first floor."

Chris swallowed the words in embarrassment when he heard the words, but saw the manager Yawen frowned and glanced at the waiter, reprimanded: "Shut your mouth, I didn't let you talk."

The waiter was dumb, quickly lowered his head, and handed the invitation letter to the manager.

Manager Yawen, who wears gold-rimmed unilateral glasses, looks arrogant, but Fang Shanshui and Chris are quite polite. Seeing that Chris and Fang Shanshui were interrupted by the waiter, he asked again in a good temper: "Both of you Have you considered it? Do you want to go to the second floor or the first floor?"

Chris translated the middle-aged man's words for Fang Shanshui, and explained in a low voice in Fang Shanshui's ear: "Master, I've only heard of the second floor of the Ansule Auction, and it seems that people like you can go there. The manager probably sees that you are not an ordinary person, so he asks this."

An Sule's auction venue is very large, but usually only the first floor is open, and there is still a lot of space left unused, so there have always been rumors about the second floor of the auction. According to ordinary wealthy businessmen, it is the circle of political celebrities or even top rich people. And Chris, who has been in contact with the Dark Council so often, is a little clearer, but he has never had a way to get in before.

Fang Shanshui was not interested in the ones on the first and second floors. He came here just to look for ancient books, so he asked Chris: "Which floor are you talking about for the auction of ancient books?"

The figure master sits on Fang Shanshui's shoulder, just finished eating one cone, and is rolling the second one by himself.

The hand-made master rolled the black pancake with a grimace, opened the can bottle, scooped the cream in, and sprinkled some chocolate-like broken bones from the finger of the devil on it, and then hugged the cone and slowly It licked it up, and it looked at whoever Fang Shanshui was looking at, and its eyes swept back and forth between Chris who was talking to Fang Shanshui and the one wearing monocles, especially for Manager Yawen's golden silk single Side glasses, pay more attention to the two eyes.

The pupils of Yawen's eyes dilated suddenly, and then became a little erratic. He kept scanning Fang Shanshui's shoulders, as if he had found something, but he seemed to have found nothing.

Rex and the others who stayed in the glass jar next to the figurine master shrank their heads when they saw this, as if they were afraid that they would be ashamed and noticed by An Sule's manager.But they thought too much, and Yawen didn't scan in their direction at all.

Strange, Manager Yawen muttered in his heart.

He could feel a powerful energy field around Fang Shanshui, and knew that there must be someone hidden beside Fang Shanshui, but with his eyesight, he still couldn't see clearly.

After listening to Fang Shanshui's words, Chris remembered Fang Shanshui's goal all the time, and immediately calmed down his excitement, and asked the absent-minded manager: "Which floor is the ancient Chinese books auctioned by the Rocco Coulee family?"

Manager Yawen came to his senses: "Among the ancient Chinese books collected by the Locke and Coulee family, 39 ordinary books are auctioned on the first floor, and 6 books involving mysterious contents are auctioned on the second floor."

While translating for Fang Shanshui, Chris asked the manager in surprise, "What mysterious content is involved?"

Manager Yawen glanced at Chris casually, looked at Fang Shanshui and said, "It's about ancient Chinese cultivation methods. Such ancient cultivation books have always been precious on the black market. I have always been very interested in them, and they are very popular every time they appear, especially when there is a wave of Chinese enthusiasm recently. If you don’t have enough financial resources, it may be difficult to get them.”

Chris heard that the smiling cheeks trembled, and it seemed that there was some pain in the flesh. Even An Sule's manager said so. It seemed that this thing was really valuable, but he didn't dare the other party to be vague, so he translated it truthfully. Affirmed what Manager Yawen said.

Fang Shanguo said decisively: "Go to the second floor."

What he needs to interpret now is the method of double cultivation mentioned at the end of the Corpse Refining Ceremony. There are classics related to cultivation, so it is more suitable to study the professional terms in it, but he doesn't know the ancient books here, and the golden inscription cloud seal he wants. Is there any connection.

Manager Yawen nodded, as if he had expected it long ago, and talked about the conditions: "Okay. But when you enter the second-floor auction venue for the first time, you must take an auction item as collateral. Trading ability, of course, you can also entrust us to auction it when you don’t have enough money.”

When Chris heard this, he was anxious: "Isn't money enough?"

Manager Yawen shook his head expressionlessly, which stumped Chris, so he had to ask Fang Shanshui for help in embarrassment.

Chris was a little helpless. Originally, he brought Fang Shanshui to the auction, but when he got here, he had to get Fang Shanshui's light to see the second floor. It seemed that he was useless.

Seeing this, Fang Shanshui looked at himself. He took a lot of things when he came out this time, but his own magical artifacts would definitely not be sold, and mass products such as talisman papers seemed not suitable either.

The figurine master patted the apprentice, and when Fang Shanshui looked over, he saw the master stretched out his hand to touch its own belly, and then its whole hand sank as if it had penetrated a black hole, as if it had entered another dimension. Getting ready to take the dick out of it.

Fang Shanshui understood after thinking about it, and watched the master touch things curiously.

There are quite a lot of magical artifacts collected by the figure master. There are few poor ghosts who died under its mouth, and each of them has contributed a lot to it. However, the figure master is only interested in the flesh of the evil way. Other magic tools, except for the small flag human head stick, which is a tool for making special snacks, are thrown in his stomach casually.

An Sule's manager followed Fang Shanshui's gaze and looked over his shoulder, narrowing his eyes.

Chris and the waiter on the side didn't understand, so they looked around and found nothing, and looked at the blank space on Fang Shanshui's shoulder as if they knew it well.

The master touched the figure for a while, and found a wooden fish from his stomach, which was left by the old ghost of Kuchan, but it is different from ordinary wooden fish, other wooden fish are made of wood, and its origin is unknown Made of metal, it seems to be some kind of extraterrestrial iron.

After the figure master touched this, he immediately took it out and threw it on the table.

"Bangdang."

The three of Chris saw that on Fang Shanshui's shoulder, a marble-sized iron wood fish suddenly appeared out of thin air, from small to large, and landed steadily on the reception counter, leaving a mark.

The ordinary Chris and the waiter were taken aback, as if they couldn't figure out how this thing appeared, and how could an iron bump become bigger and smaller like this?It really stumped them both.

On the other side, the figurine master, who was throwing it happily, was a little dumbfounded when he saw the enlarged wooden fish.

The strange wooden fish made of meteorite, which has been in Master’s belly full of ghosts for a long time without any maintenance, turned into a rusty appearance at some point. It looks very different, like a broken , which makes the figure master a little embarrassing.

The figure master coughed, and was about to bring the wooden fish back with a move of his little hand, but saw that the manager had already taken a quick step, holding the wooden fish in his palm and began to study it seriously, the figure master stopped his movements immediately.

Manager Yawen took off his one-sided glasses, twisted his hand on the frame of the glasses, and after a slight mechanical sound, the glasses turned into something like a magnifying glass, but the rusty wooden fish appeared on the magnifying glass, the outside Surrounded by a circle of black precious light, it makes its rusty appearance less conspicuous.

"It's worth about two thousand...Huh?" Manager Yawen looked at it and estimated the value. Before the [-] after two thousand came out, he saw a bone stuck in the wooden fish's mouth.

Manager Yawen twisted the lens, as if he wanted to study this bone more thoroughly, but with this twist, a dazzling glare suddenly shot out from the lens, like a black laser, and almost blinded the manager s eyes.

Manager Yawen suddenly yelled, clutching a black bloodstain on the side of his temple, let go of the lens and fell to the ground.

"Manager!? What's wrong with you?" The waiter was startled and hurried to help.

Chris also quickly expressed his condolences.

Manager Yawen covered the black blood on his temples and shook his head with lingering fear: "I'm fine."

Fang Shanshui didn't expect such an accident, he looked at the figurine master suspiciously, and the figurine master looked down strangely, only to find that a small piece of chocolate snack was hung on the wooden fish's mouth at some time .

This devil's phalanx chocolate is much more sinister than wooden fish, no wonder he almost hurt that manager Yawen just now.

The figure master gave Fang Shanshui an innocent look, as if saying that it was an accident, and then with a finger, he was about to take back the iron wood fish, as if he wanted to get back the snacks on it.

Just now the manager had an accident in the middle of what he said. Chris thought he meant that the things Fang Shanshui brought out were only worth two thousand dollars. Wen: "Manager Yawen, did you just say that this item is only worth two thousand dollars?"

Manager Yawen, who was clutching his temples, saw the wooden fish fly away suddenly, and his whole soul was about to fly away with him. He barely stretched out his hand to summon it to stay. He didn't hear what Chris said at all. , and then stood up with the help of the waiter.

He didn't find Chris's disappointed eyes. Manager Yawen came back to his senses and said solemnly to Fang Shanshui: "Please wait a moment, sir. I need to contact our appraiser."

After all, Yawen asked the waiter to serve Fang Shanshui first, then took out the headset to make a call, and walked inside.

Chris didn't know why he had to contact the appraiser since it was only worth $[-]. Could it be that the manager Yawen was not very professional and he was afraid that the valuation would be too underestimated?

The figure master is a bit cautious. Although it doesn't understand foreign languages, it has a keen sense and can detect Chris's emotions. Based on what happened just now, it is natural to know that Chris is worried that the iron wood fish is worthless and will not be included in the auction. In his eyes, this made him want to buy it for his apprentice, and his old face suddenly felt a little helpless.

Of course, Fang Shanshui could sense the emotions of Master and Chris, and patted Master's little hand to indicate that it was okay, and just think of other ways.

The master figure didn't take it seriously, and waved his little hand, with a look of reassurance for Fang Shanshui, as if to say that it was an accident that the iron wood fish was so poorly sold, I hope the teacher will touch another rust-free thing for you!Definitely worth the money.

Before Chris could get an accurate response from Manager Yawen, he saw him go to make a phone call, looked at the waiter next to him in disappointment, and asked, "If the thing is worth two thousand dollars, can it still let us enter the second floor?" ?"

The waiter was puzzled: "This..." He really hadn't heard of the collateral on the second floor, which was worth less than a million dollars.

At this moment, a strange man who seemed to come out of the second-floor auction room passed by. Hearing Chris's ridiculous words, he laughed and said, "Two thousand dollars? What kind of rags want to enter the second floor? This is madness." Alright."

Fang Shanshui looked over at the prestige, and the figurine master who was touching his stomach also stopped.

Chris turned his head angrily, but unexpectedly saw an acquaintance next to the speaker, it was Frank.

The original treasure inspection meeting was held at the venue provided by Frank. Although there was an accident later and many people died, Frank, who got a whisk, survived and handed over the whisk he got to the dark parliament.

Chris immediately understood that Frank had hitched a ride with a wizard from the Dark Council and came with the wizard. While envious of Frank's good luck, he explained the possible origin of that person to Fang Shanshui in a low voice, and persuaded: "Master, The Dark Council is powerful in the west, you'd better not conflict with them."

Fang Shanshui responded lightly and nodded.

However, Fang Shanshui ignored the man, but the wizard with Frank seemed to have a bad temper, and even came over to provoke him after laughing at him.

The wizard looked at Fang Shanshui up and down with strange eyes, and sneered again when he thought of something, and said in a commanding tone: "Where are your things? Take it out and have a look. Let me consider whether you are qualified to be with me." into the same place."

The figurine master sat on Fang Shanshui's shoulder, licked the huge ice cream cone it was holding, and stared at this foreigner with crimson eyes without blinking, provoking his apprentice with a commanding tone.

Rex and the others who were locked in the canning jar by the figure master all opened their eyes slightly after seeing the provocative man's face, and then said with a little disgust: "It's Tasu Kleiman, it's really bad, why is this annoying person?" guy."
