Chapter 111: When chanting hundreds of flowers, the Dark Emperor
A short episode at the entrance of the Gold and Silver Building did not affect the excitement inside the building. After passing two rows of hanging red lanterns and stepping into the building, there was a burst of noise. The sound came to my face.
The guests in the lobby were either chatting and laughing loudly or whispering in low voices, and the seats were packed, while the private rooms on the second floor were relatively restrained and reserved.
The carved windows were ajar, and the literati, Mohists, and wealthy businessmen inside were tasting delicious delicacies while waiting for the carnival that was about to begin at night.
Wu Yu followed her brother Wu Bi to the private room on the second floor. They booked a seat with an excellent view. As soon as they sat down, the waiter served them drinks and delicacies.
It was a normal process up to this point, but then a group of coquettishly dressed girls and shirtless boys came forward and bowed in front of the door, which was a bit unusual.
"Please let me choose the slave to serve tonight."
Wu Yu has long heard that the Gold and Silver Building looks like a serious trading place on the surface, but in fact it is a sales place behind the scenes. Golden cave.
She curled her lips and said to Wu Bi without interest: "Brother, you can choose, I won't use it."
Wu Bi knew what she was thinking, so he said: "I won't use it either. , We, brothers and sisters, have always been self-reliant and never rely on others, but we are not used to being around others, right? ”
It's a joke, his sister is still in the room, even if he has this idea, he can only take a break.
Wu Yu then smiled: "Brother, you are right. Taming people into slaves and beasts is against the laws of nature and human nature. We must not help others to do evil."
The man saw this. The two guests didn't like this, so they didn't bother much, bowed and left.
Not long after, two young girls came over. They looked the same. They were dressed in blue robes and green hairpins, with clear jade bones. When they saluted, they moved in unison, as if they were one person: "Guest, do you want some music? ”
Wu Bi immediately became interested when he saw the twins, especially because they looked very pleasant, which was exactly what he preferred.
"Sister..."
He turned his head and asked what Wu Yu meant.
This pair of siblings is quite interesting. The elder brother cannot make the decision, but the younger sister is the one who makes all the decisions.
Wu Yu disdains such enchanting and flattering women, but she doesn’t want to disappoint her brother, so she reluctantly says: “Stay.”
She props her chin, a pair of Her beautiful eyes flew out of the window and scanned all the private rooms on the second floor. There was no one she was looking for in the half-open window.
Did he really not come?
Wu Yu was undoubtedly feeling disappointed, but she believed that he would definitely come for her.
The stage in the lobby began to perform. A dozen women in colorful clothes sang and danced, with long sleeves fluttering, like fairies descending to earth. The musicians sat aside and focused on playing their instruments. The melodious music played under the bright lights. The beauty echoes.
Suddenly, iron fences fell from high places one after another with a "click", and then the roof above the Gold and Silver Building was lifted, and the blocking wall was retracted into the shutdown gap. This huge building In an instant, the building turned into a huge and intricate building ship.
After a while of swaying, it slipped into the lake, and then was maneuvered into the depths of the lake. The dark lake formed a natural cage. As long as it did not return to the shore, no one could touch it. Qing direction to escape.
Then thousands of lotus lanterns gradually lit up on the lake, and the warm yellow lights swayed in the breeze. The Gold and Silver Tower was like a beautiful water pavilion.
Colorful lights, moonlight, and lake water dyed the hull of the ship into dreamy colors. Everyone who came to the Jinyin Building for the first time was surprised and excited, and felt as if they had arrived in a different world. A place where they can forget all their worries.
The singing and dancing stopped, the music stopped, and a handsome young man stepped out. He was Qi Yueshang, the head of the Gold and Silver Tower.
With a smile on his face, he bowed first, then stood up and said: "I would like to thank everyone who has received the invitation letter for taking the trouble to come to the ghost market to participate in the annual trading event of the Gold and Silver Building. The time has come , please follow the rules and use gold and silver to open the curtain."
He stepped aside, and then dozens of large red cloths fell from the top of the stage, and they wrapped the entire stage. .
"Throw it!"
Everyone took out their silver and gold and threw it hard on the stage. The hanging red cloth and silk were lifted up. As the weight increased, they were hit intensively, and the soft The light cloth and silk were finally knocked down by the gold and silver objects.
“Oh~”
They shouted excitedly, and as all the silk cloths fell, everything arrayed on the stage was revealed in front of their eyes.
What did they see?
Various rare and ferocious beasts were locked in cages. A giant python was coiled on top of piles of jewelry, jade, and gold vessels. The dazzling and bright objects as high as a hill were piled randomly on the ground.
There are also various antique calligraphy and paintings on the display shelves, magical weapons, golden armor and mysterious armor... and finally a dozen beautiful women who have been carefully decorated.
The beauty of each of them has its own characteristics, and is not the same. With their pink faces and emerald makeup, they are like twelve flower gods coming to the world.
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.
This is like a scene of accidentally entering a treasure house. It is simply heart-warming and has a great impact on the eyes. It brings together all the greed in a man's heart and his desire to conquer powerful things. , greedy possession of wealth, and desire for beauty.
Wu Yu was also fascinated for a moment. She thought that the items for sale in the Gold and Silver Building would be displayed one by one like other places, but she did not expect that all of them would be filled with eyeballs. It makes people fascinated.
“The Gold and Silver Building really had a big surprise this year.”
Qi Shangyue asked knowingly: “Are you satisfied with what you saw?”
People upstairs and downstairs are shouting.
“What are you doing?”
"Now that all the things are on display, the Gold and Silver Building is really brave. Aren't they afraid that people here will get jealous and rob them?"
"You are stupid, who dares to rob the Gold and Silver Building? Then?" Or we were all driven to the middle of the lake by the boat. Even if we were robbed, we would still be on the boat. We couldn’t run away. We couldn’t just dive and swim back in the dark.”
People in Jinyinlou dare to do this. You must have thought of a countermeasure a long time ago, and you are not afraid of others coming to snatch it.
Those who can come to the Gold and Silver Building are not poor, let alone fools, and they really are not willing to risk their lives for money.
"Steward, how do you plan to sell things at the Gold and Silver Building this year?" An acquaintance who had been here several times was also aroused this time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Qi Shangyue said: "Let's try a new method. This time, the Gold and Silver Building will divide the items to be auctioned into twelve categories. There are antiques and porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, gold, stone and jade, rare treasures, and Divine weapons, beasts and pets...these twelve beauties will check and bid for them."
"Let me explain in advance that these twelve categories will not be sold one by one, but each category. There are only two options for buying the product or not buying it, and the person who buys it can take the beauties away with him."
Someone didn't understand and asked curiously: "These twelve. Beauties are gatekeepers, how should they gatekeepers?"
Qi Shangyue showed a strange smile and said: "They will quote a selling price, and those who are interested can counter-offer, but if they are priced out too much, If it's too low, or it simply can't be sold, then it will be killed and replaced by another beauty."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, but then they burst into even more enthusiastic cheers and excitement. They will not think that killing is wrong. No matter how beautiful these women are, they are just an object in their eyes, an object they like or dislike. If no one really spends money for them, then kill someone to add to the fun. Use blood to make the scene more exciting.
“Interesting, really interesting.”
“Quick, I can’t wait, let’s start.”
Seeing that they were all appetized, they were in a During the excitement period, Qi Shangyue stepped aside unhurriedly: "Then let's start with the antiques in the first game."
A woman as graceful as an apricot blossom stepped out, her face covered with rouge. The flowers were blooming and pretty, she showed a shy smile and tried her best to show off the antiques behind her.
After the introduction, she bit her pink lip nervously and said: "The price is... one thousand gold."
These high-level players present are not laymen. Even if they don't need to observe carefully, they just listen. From what she introduced, she knew that the pile of antiques inside were really not worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Of course, although the price of Jinyinlou is a bit expensive, it never fakes or deceives people when it comes to the genuine materials of its products.
To say that buyers are interested in a few of the items, most of them are things they don’t want, but the gold and silver buildings are so exquisite. They are sold in such a package, who is making money?
Of course the only profit is from the gold and silver building. He is truly a profiteer.
In addition, the woman at the auction has such a demeanor that I feel pity for, it really makes people feel itchy to look at her. If you look at her right, a thousand pieces of gold for one thing and another person is indeed not expensive...
< br>"I offer nine hundred gold, can you sell it?"
The woman saw someone bidding, but she didn't know what the estimated base price of the gold and silver building was, but she had to raise the price as much as possible to be safe.
She looked at the old man who made the bid pleadingly: "Can you add one thousand gold more? If I can sell this batch of goods, I will be grateful and go back to serve the good master."
But the other party was unmoved: "I only have nine hundred gold. Do you want to sell it or not?"
The woman looked around. Although the antiques she wanted to sell were the cheapest at present, they did not have a wide audience. She was worried that even this old man would not be willing to buy them, so she hesitated and said: "...Okay."
Qi Shangyue stepped forward with a smile and cupped her hands: "Congratulations, the base price offered by our building is nine hundred gold. This batch of antiques and this apricot flower belong to the old master."
The next round of sales was calligraphy and painting, and the quotations were getting higher and higher. One round of jewelry was expensive, so Plum Blossom Woman could only keep lowering the price, but in the end the price dropped to more than the reserve price, and she was shot. Shot in the chest and died.
After death, people were thrown into cages and fed to wild animals.
This cruel and bloody scene is the true nature of the Gold and Silver Tower. They only care about money, no matter what means they use to make money. Human life is just a valuation to them.
Many people were aroused by this hunting and cruel side of their hearts, and some felt pity.
Another woman came to Jinyinlou wearing the same plum blossom red shirt and skirt. This one was obviously more charming than the last one, and she was smarter and bolder than the last one.
Since the dead objects on display could not attract them, she found another way and danced erotically.
At the same time, wear those precious jewelry on your body and try them on for these men. When they are satisfied and satisfied, they will naturally pay for this beauty.
To put it bluntly, when selling things, you also sell beauties. They don’t like the things, but if the beauty can satisfy them, how can these rich people be reluctant to pay for it?
Finally, we came to the last category, where beasts and beauties appeared together.
The beast was locked in a cage, while the beauty smiled brightly in front of the cage. She opened her mouth and said: "The price is ten thousand gold."
Everyone was suffocated immediately.
Ten thousand gold? !
The beauty is obviously very confident in herself. She pulled off the layer of gauze covering her shoulders, revealing her career line underneath: "Dear readers, please bid."
The men all swallowed their saliva, thinking that this woman was really the best.
Her eyebrows are like distant daisies, her eyes are like autumn waves, her cherry lips are not dotted with red, and her figure is graceful, just like a delicate hibiscus blooming in the wind.
But... Ten thousand gold is not a small amount. Even if she is a peerless beauty, they still have to weigh their pockets.
Wu Yu's eyes lit up. She took a fancy to an unruly black panther in the cage. When she saw its pair of mysterious beast eyes, she felt her blood boiling.
She thought how majestic it would be if she could tame it.
But ten thousand gold... Even if the Wu family was rich, they would not give her ten thousand gold to squander.
“Sister, what are you doing?”
“I want to buy them.”
Seeing Wu Yu’s determined look, Wu Bi was frightened: “Buy? ! But this is ten thousand gold, how can we have so much money... By the way, why hasn't the Dark Emperor come yet? He knows you like it and will definitely buy it for you."
Wu Yu. But he said arrogantly: "I don't want him to buy it. In short, I have taken a fancy to the black panther, and I must have it!"
"Ten thousand gold, I'll buy it!"
A voice announced the price before Wu Yu.
She was anxious, and without even thinking, she shouted: "Eleven thousand gold, I'll buy it!"
"Miss Wu, just look at the excitement, come with us What do men want to grab?”
“That’s right, these beasts and beauties are for us men to play with, so you girl should choose something else.”
Those people were laughing, but Wu Yu had a cold face, and was about to have a good argument with them, when a stream of light flew from the sky, and there were weak fluctuations in the air, as if the air was trembling.
The lights on the ship suddenly changed, and then were suppressed to their smallest size. Silence and darkness enveloped the entire space at the same time.
"You seem to be laughing very happily. What interesting things happened? Why don't you tell me about it too?"
The weak and dim light gradually brightened, and they followed each other. As he looked away, he could see the outline of a mysterious man gradually outlined in the light and shadow. He stood on the bow of the tall Phoenix ship, and behind him were seven masked followers.
The mysterious man quietly appeared in the Jinyin Building. He wore a silver mask that covered most of his face. Only his crimson lips could be seen slightly raised.
But it was his iconic silver mask that instantly made everyone recognize him.
——Is it the Dark Emperor? !
They panicked, the smiles on their faces immediately froze, and they quickly lowered their heads.
Seeing that the Dark Emperor finally came, Wu Yu stared at him dreamily for a moment, forgetting where she was and who she was.
