Super devil in the city

Chapter 21 An Unexpected Lot

"You...your face?!!" Lin Pengxiao looked at Ye Xuan's face that had changed beyond recognition, and was speechless in shock.

If it wasn't for sure that Ye Xuan was sitting next to him and didn't leave, he would have thought that the person sitting next to him was someone else.

"Haven't you heard of the disguise technique?" Ye Xuan's voice rang in Lin Pengxiao's ears lightly, but no one else could hear the voice except Lin Pengxiao.

Because this sentence was "encrypted by magic power" by him, in the words of the martial arts world, Ye Xuan's move can be called the legendary "sound transmission into secret".

"But disguise is not the same as face changing..." Lin Pengxiao kept talking.

Other people need auxiliary tools to change their appearance, but Ye Xuan doesn't use them at all. He only needs to use force to stimulate his facial muscles to achieve the effect of shape shifting and dislocation.

No matter how much he checks his face now, it is absolutely true.

In fact, in the world of comprehension, such things as face cannot be used to determine a person's identity, age and other information at all.

There are many monks who are skilled in appearance and are proficient in the way of illusion. Even a person's breath cannot fully guarantee the authenticity of his identity. The world of self-cultivation that obeys the law of the jungle is so real and cruel.

Ye Xuan used mana to change his appearance just in case, as for Lin Pengxiao, he didn't care too much. The identity of the second son of the Lin family was the biggest talisman for him.

"Hey, on behalf of the auctioneer, I would like to extend my sincere thanks and honor to all of you for coming here. I won't gossip. Most of the friends here should know me as an old guy, but you didn't come to see me. It belongs to this old guy, don’t you think so?”

The old man was very talkative, so Lin Pengxiao took the opportunity to whisper in Ye Xuan's ear: "Doctor Ye, his surname is Hu. It is rumored that he was also a leader in grave digging and robbery back then, but many years ago he was arrested because of a treasure in a large tomb. The people in the company plotted against him, and broke two fingers, and the superb mechanism in the tomb couldn't be indulged. He had to quit this business and turned into a pawn shop..."

In the final analysis, this old man surnamed Hu is a pawnshop enshrinement turned from a tomb robber, and now he works part-time as an eye-hand expert and auctioneer in an auction house.

The spotlight was focused on the stage, and a young woman in a cheongsam slowly walked out from behind the scenes, dragging a mahogany tray covered with a layer of red satin in his hand.

The old man surnamed Hu stretched out his hand to gently uncover the red silk and satin, turned around and said on the auction stage: "The auction has begun. Today's first lot is a ruby ​​bracelet. Naturally, this bracelet is not a new product from the jade field. Everyone please watch me..."

The explanation given by the old man surnamed Hu was very detailed. The material of this red jade bracelet itself is top-notch. In addition, the old man surnamed Hu revealed that this red jade bracelet is likely to be buried with a princess of Xiliao, and its value immediately rose Up many stairs.

The grade of this auction is very high, and most of the things that are issued are antiques with some origins, which are of great value and even have extraordinary historical significance.

Ye Xuan looked at each piece of auction with little interest. Obviously, no matter how good these things were, he didn't want them.

Lin Pengxiao obviously also saw Ye Xuan's impatience, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Doctor Ye, if you have something you fancy, don't worry, I will definitely bring enough money."

"Hmm." Ye Xuan gave an unrecognizable 'hmm', and then fell silent.

The items on the auction table became more and more expensive, and the starting price was already close to 1000 million, but everyone's interest in the auction remained undiminished. A picture scroll with a starting price of 880 million finally sold for 300 million. A peak of this auction.

"Ahem, everyone, something unexpected happened during the auction. The following lot has not been authenticated by the auction house, and the auction house does not guarantee its authenticity." The old man surnamed Hu said to everyone in the hall.

Soon under his signal, the staff walked up to the front desk holding a mahogany tray.

This time, the old man surnamed Hu didn't have any unnecessary introductions, and the tray was not covered with a layer of red silk, so the lot was placed on the bright side in such a fair manner.

All eyes were on the tray in the hands of the staff.

It was swarthy, and there was something like an incense burner with mottled rust on it.

"This lot was entrusted by a guest who did not want to be named. It is reported that this lot is an ancestral item in a friend's family. The reason why it was put up for auction was that something happened to the family and it was a last resort to raise funds. The other party A starting bid of at least 500 million is required..."

The old man surnamed Hu briefly described the origin of this incense burner, and the starting price of 500 million shocked everyone.

"Are you crazy about money? Just asking for 500 million yuan for such a rusty piece of broken copper? Do you really think our money is blown by the wind?"

The audience became lively for a while, and the old man surnamed Hu couldn't hold back a little bit, he coughed lightly: "Everyone, this lot is guaranteed by a regular customer of my auction house, but due to the rush of time, I will The auction house has not verified the authenticity, so please bid carefully."

The words of the old man surnamed Hu basically cleared up the auction house. The items are not from our auction house, but sent by the seller for auction, but this does not conform to their process, it is only because of a regular customer No exceptions.

Some people who knew the details of the old man surnamed Hu quit: "Mr. Hu, you have been in this industry for decades, and you are even an expert. Can you still not tell whether something is real or fake? Would you like to conduct an on-site appraisal?" Appraisal, let us all learn more?"

"That's right, Mr. Hu, everyone can trust your old reputation. You can see if this thing is true or not. If it is true, everyone can bid on it."

"This..." The old man surnamed Hu hesitated a little, but soon, the staff behind him came to him and said something to him: "Mr. Hu, the boss said that if this lot is sold, I will give you 5.00% Commission."

"Huh? 5.00%?" The eyes of the old man surnamed Hu lit up. Even if it was only the reserve price of 500 million, if it was sold, he would get 25. Although not much, it was equivalent to half a month's salary. up.

"Okay, go and get my tools, and I will personally explain to everyone." The old man surnamed Hu took the lot in his hand and began to look at it carefully.

This censer-shaped antique is not big, and it is easy to hold it with one hand, and it falls to the ground on three legs, but I don't know if it is because of a problem with the storage method or other problems.

The copper rust on the body of this incense burner is very serious, as if a layer of blue moss has stuck to his skin.

The old man surnamed Hu carefully used tools to peel off the patina on his body, preparing to conduct a more detailed study on this 'censer'.

"Cry price." Ye Xuan said to Lin Pengxiao abruptly.
