Chapter 548: Lantern Shop Ghost City Phantom Building

Seeing me and Tianjun walking over in suits and leather shoes, he hurriedly said to me with an envious face: "Little brother Yiyang, it's good to be young, look at your sturdy body, as well as the strong scholarly atmosphere on your body, and with this set of straight suits, you will definitely be mistaken for the son of the family when you walk on the road!" ”

"What do you mean by mistakenly thinking that Yiyang was originally the eldest young master of the Bai family, but Yiyang is low-key and unassuming!" Xian'er complained to the fat man with a displeased face.

When He Da Fat Man heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and gently slapped his palms, still saying with a smile on his face: "You see that my mouth can't speak, and I deserve to slap my mouth." ”

Looking at his funny appearance, I could only grin and get into the car with Tianjun and Snow Goose.

When we were in the car, He Da Fat Man introduced us to the history of the auction house in the south of the city.

It was at this time that I figured out that there was a long and legendary past about the auction house in the south of the city.

It is said that during the Song Dynasty, Chancheng was already one of the four famous ancient towns in the country, and the Chancheng was called "Foshan" at that time, and the ceramic dolls produced here can be said to be well-known at home and abroad.

In addition to the relatively developed ceramic industry, Zaichancheng also has a great feature, that is, the jade reprocessing industry is also very developed.

Although Chancheng does not produce jade at all, and there are not even a few pieces of stone, after hundreds of years of development, he has formed an industrial chain based on processing raw jade.

Because of this, since the Ming Dynasty, Chancheng has developed antiques and mahogany furniture and other industries, and after combining with jade processing, it has produced an inexplicable chemical reaction, so overnight Chancheng has become a holy place for many cultural lovers to rush to the antiques.

It is precisely because of this, in such a prosperous background, tomb robbers all over the country are also moved, once there is any good Ming (Underworld) utensils, they will be the first time to take to Chancheng to sell and trade.

After a long time, a place called Lantern Shop in the south of Chancheng has become a famous local ghost market.

Many things that are not seen on the market will basically change hands through the ghost market of the lantern shop, and the fame of this ghost market is getting bigger and bigger over time, and there is even a faint trend of surpassing the Beiping Panjiayuan and Liulichang.

In the central area of the ghost market of Lantern Shop, there is an octagonal building with a very long history, called the Phantom Building.

This fantasy building is a professional place dedicated to auctioning off those valuable city treasures.

Generally speaking, antiques less than 50 million are not eligible to enter the Phantom Building to be auctioned, as for those messy porcelain and jade, etc., they are basically sold at roadside stalls in the ghost market, and they are not qualified to enter the Phantom Building to compete for auction.

According to the information provided by He Da Fatzi, the last time this magic number opened its door, it had to be traced back to an auction of the Night Pearl eighty years ago.

And that night pearl is said to be the one that the Empress Dowager Cixi held in her mouth to keep the body from rotting.

Eighty years later, it is open to welcome guests again, and you can imagine how valuable this Canglong Sword is.

When He Da Fatty's car drove to the lantern shop, it was already about ten o'clock in the morning.

Because this is a ghost market, so there are not many people during the day, looking through the car window, you can vaguely see a limited number of pedestrians walking under the attic of Lingnan characteristic buildings, it looks a little depressed, but there are quite a lot of shops on both sides of the street, and they have already opened their doors to do business.

"Why are there so few people?" Snow Goose asked puzzled.

He Da Fat Man laughed and said: "Ghost market, of course there are few people during the day, only at night, their nightlife can be regarded as the beginning, especially at one or two o'clock in the morning, it is a good time to trade." ”

Xian'er said seriously: "Mr. He, you can go home now, just come here to pick us up at about nine o'clock in the evening." ”

No, no, no.

He Fatzi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Today, I finally waited until the phantom building opened once, I will follow you into the world no matter what, don't drive me away!" ”

Xian'er shrugged helplessly and moved her gaze to me, as if waiting for me to make an idea.

If it were a normal day, I would definitely invite He Da Fat to come in with us to visit the auction event, but this time it will definitely not work.

Not to mention how important the task of seizing the sword is, just since the participants in the Phantom Building are all masters of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is impossible for me to let He Da Fat follow us on an adventure.

So his face sank immediately, and he politely refused: "Mr. He, I'm sorry, this auction conference is unusual, and the participants are not dignitaries, so for your safety, we can't take you to participate." ”

"Wow, Yiyang, don't scare me, is there still a danger to my life?" He Da Fat looked at me noncommittally.

Xue Yan replied without hesitation: "That's right, the four of us went today and don't know if we will come back, if you want to live a few more years, hurry up and go home, and come to pick us up at night." ”

After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to He Da Fat's entanglement, and pulled a few of us out of the car.

Since the magic number's sword shooting competition was held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the gate didn't open until 30 minutes before the start of filming, the four of us didn't know where to go to pass the time after getting off the bus.

In the end, it was Xian'er who proposed to go around the ghost market, so that he could familiarize himself with the terrain and know how to escape in case he grabbed the sword at night.

Second, you should pass the time and wander around, maybe you can find some good goods in this ghost market.

Hearing her say this, I suddenly became a little interested, and immediately quipped: "I heard that the jade in the ghost market is very good, and there are even some ancient jade on the market." ”

"Today, everyone has taken such a big risk for the glory of my Bai Yiyang's family, so it makes sense that I should give you some gifts as a reward."

"Really?"

Xian'er said with a happy face: "What do you want to give us?" ”

Tianjun also happily asked: "Brother Yiyang, do you really want to give me a gift?" ”

"No one has ever given me a gift since I was a child, I used to celebrate my birthday with my mother-in-law, and she didn't know how to give me anything at all."

I patted Tianjun on the shoulder sideways, and said with a look of pity: "If we still have the life to go back alive today, then every year on your birthday or New Year, I will give you a good gift, and how about buying you a big birthday cake?" ”

"Wow, that's great!"

Tianjun was actually so happy that he jumped up on the street like a child, where was there still a little bit of Zhu You's demeanor like a little heavenly master, and even his demeanor when he was against the enemy was completely contrary to this moment.
