Taoist temple that will cross

Chapter 10 The Christie's Auction
"Ding! The host completed the hidden mission and used the healing talisman to prevent Da Jinya, who forgot to buy medicine because of the advance of the plot, from dying of asthma."

"Reward ([-]): Information about chalcedony, chalcedony, aura crystals with dual attributes of earth and yin, and the main material of the corpse-suppressing talisman."

"Reward ([-]): The magic weapon grade Sanqingling, function, break the illusion, and use it in conjunction with the corpse talisman."

"Reward ([-]): magic weapon grade mahogany sword, function, can deal with zombies, town house to ward off evil spirits."

"Choose one of three, please make a choice?"

The system prompt sounds.

Cao Yi, who was watching the excitement, frowned slightly. This time when he went to the Goddess' Tomb, he would not only collect flowers from the other side, but also a thousand-year-old zombie.Each of the three options given by the system is indispensable.

After thinking for a while, Cao Yi made a choice.

"I choose one"

"Ding! Select Reward [-]"

"News about chalcedony: Tonight, there is an auction held by Christie's at the Taj Mahal Pierre Hotel. One of the auction items, a jade stone from Myanmar named Purple Dragon King, contains a small amount of chalcedony."

An auction held in a fancy hotel?
This is not for everyone.

Cao Yi frowned, and looked at Mark who had just finished talking with Wang Kaixuan.

As the legal representative of Universal Mining Group, this guy should have a solution.

"Master, I'll take you home"

Mark, who happened to look over, said with a smile.

His teacher's attitude towards Cao Yi was scary before, and he was very puzzled. Just now, he saw Cao Yi turn an asthmatic patient into safety by relying on a glass of water soaked in a yellow talisman. All the confusion in his heart disappeared.

This is a magical oriental person, and the closer you get to such a person, the more benefits you get.

Cao Yi, who didn't know that Mark made up his mind to please him, shook his head and said, "I can't go back yet. Tonight, there will be an auction held by Christie's at the Taj Mahal Pierre Hotel. There are things that Pindao needs. Can you get them?" An invitation?"

Mark didn't know how to please Cao Yi, so he said without hesitation, "No problem, I'll do it right away."

After speaking, Mark took out his mobile phone again and made a call.

Cao Yi didn't expect Mark to be so straightforward, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that this guy was probably shocked by his act of saving people just now.

As the legal representative of Universal Mining Group, it was very easy for Mark to get a few invitations to Christie's auction.

After a phone call, Mark said with a smile: "It's settled, you can go now."

Cao Yi nodded, turned his gaze to Da Jinya and Wang Kaixuan who were about to leave, and asked them, "Are you interested in going together?"

Da Jinya shook his body, and nodded with surprise.

He is a person who likes antiques, excitement, and big scenes. During this time in the United States, because of his lack of money and no official status, he has been hovering at the bottom of society.I have longed for the legendary large-scale auction.

"What about you?"

Cao Yi looked at Wang Kaixuan.

This guy, from the moment he saw the pattern of the other shore flower on the contract, he fell into a strange state, sometimes sad and excited.

"I'm not going, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I still have to find a way to trick Lao Hu away."

Wang Kaixuan shook his head and refused.

Cao Yi didn't force it.

A few minutes later, Wang Kaixuan called a taxi and left. Cao Yi and Da Jinya took Mark's car to the Taj Mahal Pierre Hotel.

The Pierre Hotel Taj Mahal is a five-star hotel.

Times Square is 2.4 km away.

The Empire State Building is 2.8 km away.

Broadway is 3.4 km away.

United Nations Headquarters is 2.6 km away.

The location is perfect.

Arriving at the hotel, handing over the car to the valet parking staff, the three of them talked and entered the hotel lobby.

A man in a black suit walked up to him and gave Mark three exquisitely crafted invitations.

This person is undoubtedly a staff member of Christie's.

The three of them took the elevator to the entrance of the auction house. After verification, they entered the crowded auction house.

Cao Yi was surprised to find that Asian faces with black hair and yellow skin accounted for at least two-thirds.

Most of these people are over 50 years old and speak Cantonese, Taiwan language, Asian English, and Japanese. They all showed surprised expressions when they saw a Taoist priest come in.

"Why are there so many Asians? Is this auction just for Asians?"

Big Gold Tooth muttered softly.

It was the first time he came to such an 'advanced' occasion, and he lost his usual flamboyant demeanor.

"Sit first"

Cao Yi, who felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by a group of old men, walked towards the area where few people sat in the middle.

Da Jinya and Mark both accompanied the prince to study, so naturally they would follow wherever Cao Yi went.

After sitting down, Cao Yi flipped through the brochure prepared for the auction, and finally understood why there were so many Asian faces.

Among the auction items, there are many cultural relics from the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty.If you think about it with your toes, you can know that it was robbed and stolen in that era, and it was smuggled by colluding with the scum among the Chinese people.

"Master Dao, which one do you want to photograph?"

Mark came over to ask.

Cao Yi turned to the ninth page of the brochure, and pointed to a piece of jade called the Purple Dragon King on the lower right.

"Well, okay, I'll pay the auction deposit."

Mark took a look, got up and left the seat.

Cao Yi continued flipping through the brochure, getting more and more angry.

A jade seal from the Qianlong period.

Ming Wanli Jujube Red Ground Blue and White Lotus Plum Vase with Wrapped Branches.

Western Zhou Dynasty Bronze Ware "Hu Ying".

A horse head, one of the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs.

Yuan blue and white Jinxiang Pavilion pot.

……

Piece of Chinese cultural treasures are grandly put up for auction by foreigners for profit.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening, I am the auctioneer John Feng who presided over this auction. I am very glad that you can come to this auction focusing on oriental artworks. Last month, our auction house sold I bought 21 precious oriental works of art, and the transaction amount exceeded 500 million US dollars. Today's auction will definitely be more successful..."

At some point, a Chinese auctioneer appeared on the auction stage, and with a smile on his face, he spoke the opening remarks in Cantonese, Formosa, English, and Japanese.

There was warm applause where some Europeans and Americans gathered together.

Asians, where rich people from Hong Kong and Taiwan gather, no one moves.

After the Chinese auctioneer finished his opening remarks, he didn't start, but told a few American-style jokes, which caused the Europeans and Americans to burst into laughter.

"Business girls don't know how to forget the country's hatred, and they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river"

A voice speaking in broken Chinese came from the entrance of the auction house.

The entire auction house fell silent.

The expression of the Chinese auctioneer suddenly became very stiff.

Cao Yi looked back, and it was none other than Yoko from Nehong Country.
