Chapter 222: The Leg Bone of the Divine Beast Qingluan
Chapter 222 The leg bone of the mythical beast Qingluan
Lin Xiao was not angry either, and her smile became even brighter:
"Hey, Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? I am not blocking the way, but I am here to welcome all the gentlemen!"
"Who are you? Are you qualified to welcome us?"
The young master of the Chen family said disdainfully.
Lin Xiao continued to approach him with a smile and lowered his voice:
"Master, don't be upset, I'm just here to deliver a message."
Seeing Lin Xiao's serious look, Mr. Chen frowned suspiciously, but still looked at Lin Xiao disdainfully.
The other older man next to him looked like he was watching the fun, with a light of unknown meaning in his eyes.
"I, on the orders of the Imperial Concubine, are here to tell you, Mr. Chen, that the collections being auctioned today are all."
Lin Xiao's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.
Her behavior made Zhao Qian and several young masters of the Chen family curious, what is this guy doing?
After listening to Lin Xiao's "instructions", several young masters of the Chen family looked at each other and saw the same doubts in each other's eyes.
Are these collections really belonging to our ancestors?
"The Imperial Concubine said that her ancestors entrusted her with a dream, asking her to do everything possible to take pictures of all the collections to be auctioned today, and then enshrine them in the ancestral hall as a sign of filial piety!"
Seeing that several people were suspicious, Lin Xiao quickly added.
The ancestors and ancestral halls have been moved out, can they still be fake?
The young masters of the Chen family believed Lin Xiao's lies and looked at her with somewhat friendly expressions.
She was secretly happy that this auction would definitely blackmail them severely!
Not long after, the auction officially started.
As the host, Lin Xiao came on stage and opened the first auction item of today's auction.
It was a bronze animal bone, carved into an animal head, lifelike.
There are complicated patterns carved around it, which looks very ancient, but it reveals a strong flavor of vicissitudes and mystery.
"This animal bone looks ordinary. There is nothing unusual about it, and there is no other special feature. From what I see, it is just an ordinary animal bone."
Before Lin Xiao started to introduce, he only heard a burst of whispers from the audience, most of which were questions.
Zhao Qian and Lin Xiao looked at each other. Zhao Qian had personally appreciated this animal bone, and he did not find anything strange about it.
The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile. She said with a smile:
"Everyone, do you see what this is?"
"This is just a piece of animal bone, what's so strange about it!"
"Yeah, it's such an ordinary thing. I don't think it's even a treasure. You didn't use it to fool us, did you?"
"I see this treasure in the palace is nothing more than that! It is somewhat similar to the wild boar bone I gnawed last night!"
…
Everyone was talking and blaming Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was not in a hurry, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, then she slowly lifted up the animal bone, pointed it at the crowd and said:
"Everyone, please see clearly, this is not an ordinary animal bone, but the leg bone of the ancient mythical beast Qingluan!"
After hearing Lin Xiao's words, everyone fell silent instantly.
They stared at the animal bones with their eyes wide open, fearing that they would miss every detail.
The animal bones are crystal clear, like jade, but still have a hard texture, making them look very beautiful.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that there was a prophecy circulated in ancient times that as long as the leg bones of the twelve divine beasts are collected, a divine dragon can be summoned to command the world!"
Lin Xiao continued to explain, his voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
Suddenly, the scene was completely silent.
Dragon!
This is a legend from ancient times. It is said that the dragon is one of the most powerful creatures in the divine world. It is said that it can transform into a dragon and soar into the sky, soaring above the nine heavens, making it invincible in the world.
And the entire Daxia Dynasty is the descendant of Shenlong, the descendant of Shenlong.
How can something like this not shock people?
"Although this animal bone looks ordinary, its value is much more expensive than those so-called gold, silver and jade articles. As long as you take it back and enshrine it in the ancestral hall, it will surely bless and enshrine prosperity for generations to come!"
Lin Xiao continued to inspire everyone.
When everyone heard this, they all showed greedy expressions.
Prosperity for generations is what everyone dreams of, and no one is willing to give up this opportunity.
Seeing that the emotions of everyone present were aroused, the curve of Lin Xiao's mouth became wider and wider:
"Okay, now we start the auction, the leg bone of the mythical beast Qingluan, the starting price is five hundred taels of silver, and the price will be increased by fifty taels of silver each time the bid is called."
Lin Xiao deliberately doubled the base price of the mythical beast's leg bone, causing the hearts of everyone present to beat violently.
"Five hundred and fifty taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
"Six hundred and fifty taels!"
"Seven hundred taels!"
"..."
"One thousand taels!"
As a voice sounded, the bidding outside the venue gradually decreased, obviously they were frightened by the price.
"One thousand five hundred taels!"
Suddenly, a calm and magnetic male voice sounded. It was the young masters of the Chen family shouting the price. When they were shouting the price, they even gave Lin Xiao on the stage a wink that they were sure to win.
"Two thousand taels!"
A voice sounded immediately.
"Two thousand three hundred taels!"
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
"."
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, it was still those Mr. Chen, they were competing with a man wearing a black robe and a black gauze hat.
When the price soared to two thousand three hundred taels, the man in black robe finally gave up and continued to increase the price, but glared at Mr. Chen with angry eyes.
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for getting a leg bone from the mythical beast Qingluan!"
Lin Xiao smiled and congratulated, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone that was not easily noticeable.
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"It was a fluke to buy the leg bone of a mythical beast for one thousand three hundred taels, so we reluctantly accepted it!"
The older Mr. Chen looked at the man in black robes with unconcealed joy. He looked at the man in black robes with no concealment of pride on his face.
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
The older Mr. Chen took out a stack of large banknotes from his arms and handed it to Lin Xiao. He then handed Lin Xiao the box containing the animal bones and carefully held it in his arms, looking like a treasure.
"Thank you Mr. Chen, thank you all!"
Lin Xiao took the box with both hands, smiling like a flower.
Everyone's attention was focused on the animal bones, and no one noticed the mockery in Lin Xiao's eyes.
"Okay, let's move on to the next auction item!"
Following Lin Xiao's announcement, several palace maids came forward with mahogany trays, lifted the red cloth covering them, and took out a simple short knife.
This short sword looks very ancient. The handle is engraved with dense runes, making it look incredibly ancient.
