"As for the curse, if you believe it is a curse, I won't explain much."
Anyway, if he believed in the temple, it was not Xia Qingchen who suffered, but the people in the temple.
"Since Mr. Xia is the guarantee, how can I not believe it? I will order one of these statues!" Mrs. Xiao immediately said with a smile.
"Haha, how can something that Mr. Xia personally appraised be fake? I want one!"
"I want one too!"
…
For a time, the guests who had lost trust were rushing to buy the statue.
This is Xia Qingchen's status in their hearts.
Seeing this scene, Protector Zhao felt hatred in his heart. How could this Xia Qingchen always oppose them?
He cast a pleading look at the palace master. The latter was expressionless and didn't express anything, but Protector Zhao understood the meaning and allowed him to express himself freely.
Protector Zhao finally made up his mind and snorted secretly: "Being an enemy of my temple, and still obstructing things related to the gods, I really can't wait until the third watch."
He has not been able to tamper with other goods secretly, but it is very easy for the people in the temple to manipulate such divine objects as idols.
He calmly retreated behind the three guardians, silently took out a small snow-white flag, and planted it on the ground.
An invisible rhythm enveloped the surroundings.
That flag was something that had been worshiped in front of the God King for many years, and it had already established a special connection with the temple.
By inserting it into the outside world, you can barely draw in the spirituality of the temple.
And with the spirituality borrowed from the temple, many rituals that can only be performed in the temple can be performed here.
Protector Zhao looked around and saw that no one was around, took out a yellow talisman, held it in the palm of his hand and burned it, and then silently recited some very profound incantation.
Invisibly, a cold wind blew through the venue, and many people present could not help but shiver.
The four statues that no one noticed were covered with a layer of gray airflow that was difficult for mortals to see.
At this time, Qiu Wanjin was smiling happily.
"I still offer 200 billion. Give me all four statues." The businessman who made the initial bid said.
Qiu Wanjin smiled and said: "Brother Luo, this thing was personally appraised by Mr. Xia. How can it be worth 200 billion?"
He straightened his expression and said: "I announce that the bidding price for each of the four statues is 100 billion! Now, the first one will be auctioned first!"
One is 100 billion, which is indeed not a low price.
"One hundred billion is one hundred billion. I believe in Mr. Xia's appraisal!" Mrs. Xiao was the most positive: "One hundred billion!"
"Two hundred billion!"
"Three hundred billion!"
The enthusiasm of all the big businessmen was ignited and they bid one after another.
"Three trillion!" Seeing the fierce pursuit of everyone, Mrs. Xiao said.
What?
A direct increase of ten times from 300 billion to 3 trillion?
The son who accompanied him, who is currently the patriarch of the Xiao family, immediately stopped him and said, "Dad, you can't do it! How can a statue cost three trillion?"
This is equivalent to one-sixth of the wealth of the entire Xiao family, just to buy a statue?
Even if this statue has the magical effect of strengthening the fighting power of monsters, it is not worth three trillion.
The old man is so childish, he is simply making fun of the future of the Xiao family.
Old Mrs. Xiao pushed the patriarch away and hummed: "You think I am confused, right?"
The clan leader stood beside him. Although he said nothing, the anxiety in his eyes meant exactly that.
The old man leaned on his crutch with a deep look and said wisely: "You are still too immature. Why don't you think about Mr. Xia's status? If there is no amazing effect, how can you personally guarantee it?"
“If the statue lived up to its name and the bidders suffered a loss, wouldn’t its reputation become infamous?”
"The higher the position, the more you cherish feathers. Mr. Xia is willing to personally guarantee the statue. This thing is definitely worth more than three trillion, believe me!"
In this way, the clan leader reluctantly agreed after several struggles.
This is one-sixth of the family's hundreds of years of wealth. If it cannot create its due value, it will cause the Xiao family to stagnate for at least several decades.
"Okay! The Xiao family offered three trillion yuan and bought it!" said the patriarch.
Qiu Wanjin was extremely excited. This one can be sold for three trillion yuan, which is really unexpected. To ensure that it is foolproof, he said: "Chief Xiao, you must make sure that once you take the photo, you cannot return it."
Patriarch Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Buy!"
So, to Qiu Wanjin's joy, the statue that had been painted by Xia Qingchen was sold for a sky-high price of three trillion.
"Now, the second statue!" Qiu Wanjin said with great enthusiasm and continued to sell.
Soon, all three statues were sold for 3 trillion yuan each.
Among them, the Xiao family actually bought another one at the insistence of Mr. Xiao, spending a total of six trillion. This was a huge gamble for the Xiao family!
If you lose, you won't be able to turn around for a hundred years.
The other two were bought by the Chen family and the Wang family respectively.
The leaders of the three families were very satisfied.
Qiu Wanjin raised his hand and said, "Qiu admires the generosity of the three of you!"
Mr. Xiao said rudely: "You don't need to admire me. We only believe in this statue for Mr. Xia's sake. With or without you, it doesn't matter."
Qiu Wanjin smiled awkwardly. It was indeed Xia Qingchen who could turn the tide of this chamber of commerce, otherwise it would be ruined by a few words from Zhao.
However, the Chamber of Commerce was a complete success, which was very satisfying.
But at this moment, Protector Zhao smiled and said: "You three, you are so big-hearted, and you don't even inspect the goods in your hands?"
Mr. Xiao said calmly: "The things Mr. Xia sells do not need to be inspected. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Protector Zhao laughed and said: "A bunch of idiots, they were sold and they helped count the money. They are really worried about the future of your family."
Mr. Xiao looked calm and calm, stood up and said: "Let's go."
The Xiao family members immediately followed him and left.
The head of the Chen family looked at the statue he bought in his hand hesitantly, shook his head, and left on the spot.
Only the head of the Wang family is not as wealthy as the Xiao family and the Chen family. He spent almost half of his wealth just to buy a statue. He really didn't dare to be careless at all.
"Master Xia, can I test it?" The head of the Wang family said to Xia Qingchen, cupping his fists.
Xia Qingchen nodded: "Of course."
He had personally appraised the statue, and the evil spirit on it had been resolved, so there was absolutely no problem.
The head of the Wang family saw the white-feathered demon horse not far away that had not been taken away, and said: "Hold on to this horse."
Qiu Wanjin laughed and said: "Qiu will do it for you!"
He stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the white-feathered demon horse and said, "Come here!"
Holding the statue, the head of the Wang family carefully came within three feet of the white-feathered demon horse. However, the white-feathered demon horse actually stayed where it was, looking at the approaching head of the Wang family with some fear, showing no signs of mania.
Um?
Qiu Wanjin also felt that something was wrong and said: "Master Wang, come closer."
When he tried it before, the white-feathered demon horse reacted ten feet away. Why did it change now?
Could it be that different statues require different distances? (The rest will be updated from time to time, so please check back tomorrow morning.)
