Comprehensive Martial Arts: Start Making Peacock Feathers

Chapter 119 Auction Begins, Dead Sea Scroll

"First of all, the first lot, the Dead Sea Scroll.

Hua Mantang tore off the red silk, and several rolls of sheepskin were revealed in front of everyone.

"This is from the western part of the Western Regions, in a cave near a lake called the Dead Sea. There are more than 1,000 complete and incomplete scrolls (this was discovered in ancient times, many years earlier than later generations, and the preservation is better. Complete this should be normal), these sheepskins are covered with unknown characters, we have invited many Western religious scholars and literary masters

No specific content can be translated.

But according to their speculation, it should record the history of a kingdom that has perished, which is very helpful for studying the history of the Western Regions..."

Hua Mantang's voice was full of emotion and spittle. He blew this Dead Sea secret scroll, which is rare in the sky, not on the ground, and even vaguely implied that when the country perished, it once hid a batch of treasures. The secret scroll is likely to record the information about the treasure...

If Qiu Fengtong didn't know the details of this thing, he might have believed it.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, to be more precise, should be called the Dead Sea Scrolls. In fact, it is a library of a branch of Judaism, which records the Bible and various annotations, calendars, etiquette, and the Code of Life, and the kingdom of destruction. And the National Treasure has nothing to do with it at all.

863 But Qiu Fengtong's lack of heart doesn't mean that others are not. There were many merchants from Rome and even Europe, who were not interested in treasures (obviously they didn't think there would be any treasures recorded in this ancient scroll), but They are very interested in the ancient scrolls themselves, after all, this is their history. Several European businessmen have already made up their minds, and they seem to have made up their minds to buy all the Dead Sea Secret Scrolls.

Sure enough, when the auction was announced, several merchants from West Asia and Europe raised their placards one after another.

The competition was fierce. In just two minutes, the price of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which started at 1,000 taels, had risen to more than 5,000 taels, and there was no sign of stopping.

"Twelve thousand!"

Finally, a bearded businessman couldn't stand the fierce competition, and directly raised the price from 8,000 taels to 10,000 taels, a full 2,000 taels.

"The customer from Tianzi No. 9 is asking for 10,000 taels. Is there anything else you want?"

Hua Mantang was very excited, and the first auction item was sold for 10,000 taels, which was considered a good start.

¹6...99

The bearded businessman's strategy worked, and the fiercely competitive businessmen who had been competing before all expressed hesitation and communicated in a low voice.

"Hum!"

The bearded man is very proud. He is a big businessman. He doesn't know how many 10,000 taels of money he makes every time. After these Dead Sea Secret Scrolls are bought back by himself, they can immediately become the heritage of his family. This is 10,000 taels. Two silver can't buy it anyway.

"10,000 taels, has anyone else raised the price?"

Huamantang continued to support the fire, but the price was obviously a bit high, so although many businessmen were not reconciled, they could only give up.

"Ten thousand two times! Ten thousand two times! Ten thousand three times, well..."

"Eleven thousand two.

Just when Hua Mantang was about to drop the hammer, a voice came from the Tianzi No. 2 box.

This made Hua Mantang stunned. Of course he knew who was in the Tianzi No. 2 room. Isn't that Lu Xiaofeng's room? Although he didn't understand why Lu Xiaofeng wanted this thing, since everyone had already made an offer, he naturally will not refuse.

"Young Master Qiu is also interested in Western history?"

In Room 2, Hua Manlou asked Qiu Fengtong curiously.

Yes, it was not Lu Xiaofeng who quoted, but Qiu Fengtong.

"I'm not interested."

Qiu Fengtong shook his head: "I just saw that person was upset and wanted to raise the price for him.

That's right, it's just to raise the price. Although he doesn't know the bearded man, he does know a person next to him - to be precise, the mark on his clothes, this mark Qiu Fengtong is in Ouyang Feng, (bgbd) Ouyang Ke and the clothes of his maids.

In other words, this person is also from the White Camel Villa, and seeing how familiar his attitude is with that bearded man, it is obvious that the relationship between the two sides is not normal.

Although Ah Qiu Fengtong doesn't know what their relationship is, since he is a friend of White Camel Villa, he is naturally his enemy. Although he won't kill people because of this relationship, he raises the price, disgusts the other party, and makes him feel bad. It's fine for him to bleed a little more.

"Forehead……"

Hearing Qiu Fengtong say this, everyone was speechless. Did you rashly add 1,000 taels of silver just to raise the price? What kind of resentment?

Sikong Zhaixing asked, "Aren't you afraid that the person will give up the bid?"

Qiu Fengtong pointed at the bearded man and said, "Look at his expression, as if he is about to give up the bid? I+... what's going on?

Originally, according to Qiu Fengtong's plan, the bearded man would definitely increase the price. In fact, that person did plan to increase the price. However, the accident happened to the person from the White Camel Villa.

Just when Big Beard was about to raise a sign to increase the price, the person from the White Camel Villa suddenly saw Qiu Fengtong, his expression changed instantly, and he leaned into Big Beard's ear and said something.

The bearded man's expression changed after hearing this, and then he cupped his hands towards Qiu Fengtong with kindness and put down the number plate in his hand.

"How is this going?"

Qiu Fengtong was completely stunned, and had no idea what the man said to the bearded man.

Hua Manlou said with a smile at this time: "They should have recognized your identity. Although Mr. Karzan is a foreigner, he is quite familiar with the Martial Forest in the Central Plains. After learning that you are the swordsman who has been in the limelight recently After that, where will dare to compete with you?"

Calzan is obviously the name of the bearded man. Although Hua Manlou is blind, he has a pair of stunts to hear and identify positions. Even if there is a distance between Tianzi No. 9 and this side, this distance is very important to him. There is no difference, and it is easy to rely on the voice to distinguish the identity of the other party.

6699

Qiu Fengtong was speechless.

"Pfft! Hahahaha..."

The others couldn't help but laugh.

Especially Lu Xiaofeng, sarcasm mercilessly: "Look, look, what is this called? It's called shooting yourself in the foot, losing your wife and losing your army. 35

The others laughed even more happily, only Ximen Chuixue didn't smile, which made Qiu Fengtong feel a little better for him - although he himself knew that the reason why Ximen Chuixue didn't smile was just a personality factor, not a face for him.
