Chapter 417 Underground auction
Wanbaozhai.
Chuci and his party stood in front of this shop full of Xianzhu country style.
“Let’s go.”
Chuci greeted him and walked in first.
The area of the shop is not large, and gold nanmu shelves are erected on the surrounding walls.
All kinds of rare antiques are placed on wooden shelves.
At first glance, it seems difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and it looks very bluff.
There is only one man and one shopkeeper in the room.
The buddy is a thin boy with quick hands and feet.
Using a towel to wipe the dust in the house meticulously.
The shopkeeper was a stocky middle-aged man in a red jacket lying on a wicker chair.
Holding a folding fan in one hand, shook lightly, and in the other hand held a pair of agate stone balls.
The thin guy saw the Chuci people walking into the shop and hurriedly greeted the shopkeeper.
“Treasurer, here comes someone!”
The shopkeeper is closing his eyes at the moment.
Hearing the dude’s greeting, he raised his eyelids slightly.
Seeing a few people from Chuci, the shopkeeper’s eyes lit up and got up from the wicker chair.
“How many guest officers would you like to see?”
The shopkeeper walked in all directions and walked to the front of Chuci.
Chuci looked around, but didn’t talk.
When Shi Liang saw this, he stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper, “Shopkeeper, we are going to participate in the underground auction!”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up and down at the few people of Chuci.
“Ha ha···”
The shopkeeper chuckled, “This shop is a shop selling rare antiques, not an underground auction!”
“what?”
A look of surprise appeared on Shi Liang’s face.
“There is no underground auction here?”
“But I heard people say that this is the shop.”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile, “Little brother, could it be that you heard me wrong?”
“this···”
Shi Liang scratched his head, turned around and said to Chuci, “My lord, I might have made a mistake.”
“sorry!”
Shi Liang bent over to Chuci and said apologetically, “Should I take the adults to see other shops?”
Chu Ci waved his hand and said softly, “No need!”
“The entrance to the underground auction is here.”
Shi Liang was taken aback, “But the shopkeeper said…”
Chu Ci reached out and stopped Shi Liang.
Looking at the shopkeeper, Chu Ci smiled and said, “Shopkeeper, we are here to participate in the auction sincerely. You won’t really let us pass the door and not enter?”
The shopkeeper’s face became stiff, and he unnaturally shook the folding fan in his hand.
“My son, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Don’t admit it yet?”
Chu Ci chuckled lightly, and reached out to the wall on the right side of the shop and said, “Behind the nanmu shelf is the entrance of the underground auction, right?”
“As for the mechanism that opens the entrance…”
Chu Ci glanced at the rare antiques placed on the wooden shelf, and said, “It should be the colorful glass bottle in the third row and the fifth row, right?”
As soon as Chu Ci’s voice fell, the shopkeeper was stunned.
“how do you know?!”
The shopkeeper subconsciously spoke out, and then reacted.
Looking at the Songs of Chu, the shopkeeper showed a strange color in his eyes, closed the folding fan and said, “The son is observant of the autumn, and I admire it!”
“Yes, behind the wooden frame is the entrance to the underground auction.”
“only···”
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, “I can’t let you in yet!”
Before Chuci could answer, Shi Liang said first, “Why?”
“Since we can enter the underground auction here, why not let us in?”
Shi Liang was deceived by the shopkeeper, so that he lost face in front of Chuci, so Shi Liang felt a little unhappy.
“Ha ha···”
The shopkeeper shook the folding fan in his hand and said, holding the agate stone ball, “Because you need an introducer to enter the underground auction!”
Looking at the people in Chuci, the shopkeeper said with a smile, “If what is expected is good, it is the first time for them to come to Xiancheng Cross Street, right?”
Reaching out for Shi Liang, the shopkeeper continued, “Although this little brother is also a city contributor, he is only hearsay about the underground auction of Cross Street, and he doesn’t know much about it.”
“Therefore, it is not clear about the referrer.”
“There is no referrer, and it is not easy to put a few people in. This is the rule of underground auctions!”
Hearing the words, Chu Ci nodded clearly.
“It turned out to be so.”
“Then how can I get a referral?”
The shopkeeper shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, “Then it depends on the master’s ability!”
While talking, two figures stepped into the shop.
“I will be their referral!”
A lazy voice sounded.
Hearing the sound of Chu Ci, he looked startled.
The visitor was Mrs. Du Tong, who had a fate in Rouge Gouache, and the little girl who was adopted by her as a survivor of the Xianzhu State.
The shopkeeper saw the visitor and hurried to greet him.
“I have seen Mrs. Du Tong! I have seen Miss Sun!”
Mrs. Du Tong nodded reservedly, but the little girl did not respond.
The shopkeeper didn’t care, and asked with a smile on his face, “Is the madam here to participate in the underground auction?”
“You are here at the right time, please come in quickly!”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to indicate that he wanted to lead the mother and daughter to the entrance.
Madam Mei stopped, looked at Chuci and said, “You also want to participate in the underground auction?”
Madam Mei glanced over the Chuci people.
Chu Ci observed that her gaze stayed on Shi Liang for a while, while holding the little girl’s palm slightly tightened.
Chuci’s face remained silent, and thoughts came to mind.
The moment Madam Du Tong was excited when she saw Shi Liang, it was definitely not a coincidence!
Madam Du Tong knows Shi Liang?
Or is Shi Liang important to Mrs. Du Tong?
Thoughts converged, Chu Ci smiled and asked, “Madam wants to be our referrer?”
Madam Mei nodded slightly and looked at the shopkeeper on the side.
“I promise them to participate in the underground auction, can I?”
When the shopkeeper heard the words, he nodded and said, “Of course!”
“With my wife’s guarantee, they can definitely participate in the underground auction.”
“A few, please come here!”
The shopkeeper walked to the golden nanmu shelf on the right wall and turned the colorful glass bottles.
Kha kha kha···
With the sound of the machine, the wooden shelf slid aside, revealing a passage behind it.
“A few of you please!”
The shopkeeper stood by the passage and gestured.
Mrs. Du Tong nodded slightly, and took the little girl’s hand and walked in first.
After the two had walked a certain distance, Chuci took a few steps to follow.
Kha kha kha···
The machine sounded, and the channel slowly closed.
A little bit of light shining brightly, illuminating the entire passage.
Chu Ci raised his head and looked up, but the light source was a shining pearl.
“Ah!”
Seeing this, Chu Ci chuckled lightly, “What a pomp!”
Only the entrance passage is illuminated with night pearls, which shows the luxury of this underground auction.
