„Solemn Senior, Miss bell.” Hou Sailei toward Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu good a ritual. “穆前辈,钟小姐。”侯赛雷朝石牧与钟秀行了一礼。 „So that's how it is, I understand......” the Zhong Xiu thoughts were bright, looked at Shi Mu , after looking at Hou Sailei, wants to understand the cause and effect quickly. “原来如此,我明白了……”钟秀心思剔透,看了看石牧,又看了看侯赛雷后,很快想明白了前因后果。 „Originally all these behind, is Big Brother Shi you arranges, I also think that is really tries hard, defeated Jade Stream Pavilion open and aboveboard.” Zhong Xiu said that among expression is somewhat low-spirited. “原来这一切背后,都是石大哥你安排的,我还以为真的是自己努力,堂堂正正击败了玉泉阁呢。”钟秀说道,神色间有些黯然。 „Xiu Er, this competition was unfair, Wang Ruikun favors Zhao Elder secretly, if we do not make some preparations, did not need to lose compared with then already, such was too injust.” Shi Mu said. “秀儿,这一场比试原本便不公平,王瑞坤暗地里偏袒赵长老,如果我们不做些准备,根本不用比便已经输了,那样岂不是太冤了。”石牧说道。 Zhong Xiu silent moment, shouted the one breath lightly, the facial expression that on the face lost gradually vanished. 钟秀默然了片刻,轻呼了一口气,脸上失落的神情逐渐消失。 Right that „Big Brother Shi, you said that was I am too naive. Hou Sailei you pat so many things, flower Spirit Stone also 1 million, where did you make so many Spirit Stone at least?” Asking of some Zhong Xiu doubts. “石大哥,你说的对,是我太天真了。只是,侯赛雷你拍下这么多东西,花的灵石起码也有一百万了,你从哪里弄来这么多灵石？”钟秀有些疑惑的问道。 Hou Sailei smiled, opened the mouth to explain. 侯赛雷笑了一下,开口解释了一番。 Originally after on the same day the Shi Mu two people left Quiet Wind Valley, the Hou Sailei adventure disguised as the Quiet Wind Valley altar/jar lord, through some methods, that batch of remaining cargos that Shi Mu and the others are not previously able to move away, divided some valuable thing that the altar/jar accumulated for these years to whirl away together with Quiet Wind Valley, and broke up the whole into parts tried to sell off, changed into big Spirit Stone, later then arrived at Green Dawn City, and contacted with Shi Mu in secret, will have today's aspect. 原来当日石牧二人离开幽风谷之后,侯赛雷冒险假扮成了幽风谷坛主,通过一些手段,将此前石牧等人无法运走的那批剩下货物,连同幽风谷分坛这么多年来积累下来的一些值钱之物全都卷走,并化整为零的设法变卖了出去,换成了一大笔灵石,之后便来到了苍旭城,并且和石牧暗中接触,才会有今日的局面。 „Naturally these have in these two months to sell some Spirit Stone that Talisman gains, finally stakes everything on a single throw of the dice made Hou Sailei take away to pat finally that Concentration Tower. Actually many thing books are I entrust, sold again high, nothing but is the left pocket has the right pocket to enter, the commission that even if this chamber of commerce collects is not low, actually also has no too big loss.” Shi Mu said with a smile. “当然这其中还有这两个月里卖符箓赚来的一些灵石,最后都孤注一掷的让侯赛雷拿去拍最后那个定神塔了。其实其中有不少东西本就是我委托的,卖的再高,无非是左口袋出右口袋进罢了,纵然这次商会收取的佣金不低,其实也没有什么太大损失。”石牧笑道。 „Big Brother Shi, didn't you say one with me ahead of time? Like this I am also good to help together busily some.” Zhong Xiu asked. “石大哥,你怎么不提前和我说一声呢？这样我也好一起帮些忙。”钟秀问道。 „Xiu Er, your day already was very busy. Moreover this matter you have not participated from beginning to end well, when the time comes Wang Ruikun or Zhao Elder, if asked that you can also deal confidently. Right, Hou Sailei is changed/easy appearance/allow attended the auction, now that mysterious person Amatabe had disappeared, they cannot check any details.” Shi Mu said. “秀儿,你这段日子已经很忙了。而且此事你从头到尾没有参与过最好,到时候王瑞坤或是赵长老若是问起,你也可以坦然应对。对了,侯赛雷是易容参加拍卖会的,如今那个神秘人雨田早已消失了,他们查不到任何底细的。”石牧道。 Zhong Xiu is looking at Shi Mu some look glittering, a moment later opens the mouth saying: 钟秀望着石牧的眼神有些闪烁,片刻之后开口道: „Big Brother Shi, was really laborious you. For this auction, you not only put out so many things, but also continuous plan Talisman, spent so many Spirit Stone day and night finally for this reason......” “石大哥,真是辛苦你了。为了这场拍卖会,你不仅拿出了这么多东西,还日夜不休的绘制符箓,最后为此花去了那么多灵石……” „these has nothing, can attain to go to the qualifications of Sky Reaching Peak, all were worth. I remember that you have said that once there is an artificial chamber of commerce to make the great merit, that mysterious association president will appear, if this time can successfully complete the mission of Special Envoy Monster Race, perhaps then some opportunities see the chairman of the chamber of commerce. When the time comes, I must relieve the contract for you!” Shi Mu resolute saying. “这些都没什么,能够拿到前往凌天峰的资格,一切都值得了。我记得你说过,一旦有人为商会立下大功,那位神秘的会长都会出现,这次若能顺利完成妖族特使的使命,或许便有机会见到商会会长。到时候,我一定要替你解除契约！”石牧语气坚定的说道。 When Shi Mu previously just recognized each other with Zhong Xiu in the cave said, possibly somewhat is also swayed by personal feelings, but he says now, is actually sporty. 若是石牧此前在山洞中刚与钟秀相认时这么说,可能还有些意气用事,但如今他这么说,却是底气十足。 Did not say other, after this auction, his present has almost million Spirit Stone, even if this Spirit Stone regarding Heavenly Wu Merchant Association, cannot be a small number. 不说别的,这次拍卖会过后,他身上如今可是怀揣着差不多有百万灵石了,这笔灵石哪怕是对于天吴商会而言,也不能算是一笔小数目了。 When the Zhong Xiu heart is moved, the opens the mouth will say anything, in the meantime, the entrance broadcast Ge Storekeeper sound: 钟秀心中感动之余,正要张口说些什么,就在此时,门口传来了葛掌柜的声音: „Elder Zhong, Vice-chairman king convenes the congress in the writing deep pool pavilion main hall.” “钟长老,王副会长在翰渊阁大殿召集大会。” „Big Brother Shi, your wait for me good news!” Zhong Xiu was saying stood. “石大哥,你就等我好消息吧！”钟秀说着站了起来。 ...... …… In writing deep pool pavilion main hall, at this moment scattered sits several people. 翰渊阁大殿中,此刻零零散散的坐着数人。 Vice-chairman Wang Ruikun sits well above the seat of honor, benign and sits in Zhong Xiu of starting place is chatting anything, but most of the time, is he is saying, Zhong Xiu is listening. 副会长王瑞坤端坐主座之上,正和颜悦色的和坐在下手处的钟秀聊着什么,不过大多数时候,是他在讲,钟秀在听。 A Zhong Xiu pale-green tunic appearance at this moment, at the same time with a smile chatted with Wang Ruikun, in heart actually some faint doubts. 此刻的钟秀一袭淡绿色裙衫打扮,一边笑吟吟的与王瑞坤闲谈,心中却隐隐有些疑惑。 Appearance that today Wang Ruikun seems like, is quite happy. 今日王瑞坤看起来的样子,心情颇为不错。 But she actually knows, Zhao Elder and Wang Ruikun relate significantly, now obviously was wins, opposite party why so? 但她却知道,赵长老与王瑞坤关系匪浅,如今显然是自己胜出了,对方缘何如此呢？ Before long the time, many chamber of commerce personnel also arrive in the main hall one after another, everyone sits well in the respective position, waited for a meeting, enchanting female Zhao Elder then long in coming. 不一会功夫,不少商会人员也陆陆续续来到大殿中,大家在各自的位置上坐定,又等了一会,妖娆女子赵长老这才姗姗来迟。 Zhao Elder present complexion is not quite attractive, as soon as she enters the main hall, sits down opposite of Zhong Xiu directly, later looks at steadily looks at Zhong Xiu, without speech. 赵长老现在的脸色并不太好看,她一进大殿,直接就在钟秀对面坐下,随后目不转睛的看着钟秀,没有说话。 When the auction had not previously ended, the enchanting female quite complacent, has not actually been thinking that Welcoming Immortal Pavilion unexpectedly the thing of star stone that next to last act everyone thought that ahead of time, instead took the next to last act another Spirit Tool, moreover laid out 80 ten thousand Spirit Stone sky-high prices, instead surpassed at one fell swoop. 此前拍卖会尚未结束时,妖娆女子正颇为得意,却万万没想到迎仙阁居然将大家都以为的压轴之物星石,提前了一位,反而将另一件灵器作为压轴,而且还拍出了八十万灵石的天价,一举反超。 This news just like bolt from the blue, making the enchanting female be mad almost at the scene flies into a rage. 这消息犹如晴天霹雳,让妖娆女子气得差点当场大发雷霆。 Today sees a Zhong Xiu calm appearance, she is hates to clench jaws, originally also calculates that beautiful appearance, at this moment were many a Yin duck. 今日看到钟秀一副气定神闲的模样,她更是恨得咬牙切齿,本来还算明媚的长相,此刻却多了一层阴鹜。 „Since the person came neat, the old man must to announce a good news. This dark green rising sun large-scale auction, Welcoming Immortal Pavilion and Jade Stream Pavilion two big auction markets, altogether laid out 801 ten thousand Spirit Stone, this number, must one time continue compared with the old times auction much. Present has lasting achievements, the old man represents the association president in this, expressed gratitude to everyone.” Wang Ruikun be with smile on the face say/way. “既然人都来齐了,老夫要向诸位宣布一个好消息。此次苍旭大型拍卖会,迎仙阁与玉泉阁两大拍卖场,总共拍出了八百零一万灵石,这个数目,比起往年的拍卖会要多出一倍不止。在座的诸位功不可没,老夫在此代表会长,向大家表示感谢。”王瑞坤面带微笑道。 The chamber of commerce personnel present hear this news, looks the happy expression in abundance , according to the old rule of chamber of commerce, the participants of their these auction can obtain a reward . Moreover the amount according to the auction volume, looks at this year's situation, they must harvest many. 在座商会人员听到此消息,纷纷面露喜色,要知道,按商会的老规矩,他们这些拍卖会的参与者都能得到一笔奖励,而且数额是根据拍卖额来的,看今年的情形,他们也要收获颇丰了。 „Elder Zhong for this auction, pouring is really the painstaking efforts, the writing skill of expenditure is big.” The enchanting female opens the mouth to say suddenly. “钟长老为了这次拍卖会,倒真是良苦用心,花费的手笔不小呢。”妖娆女子忽然开口道。 „Zhao Elder what this word?” Zhong Xiu asked. “赵长老何出此言？”钟秀问道。 „Snort, but also installs to calculate! Welcoming Immortal Pavilion that several types of thing true values how, your I was also clear, can lay out so the high price, you dare saying that does not have the trick to be one of them?” Enchanting female cold snort/hum, said. “哼,还装算！迎仙阁那几样东西真正价值如何,你我也都清楚,能拍出如此高价,你敢说没有猫腻在其中？”妖娆女子冷哼了一声,道。 Such remarks, the atmosphere concentrates immediately. 此话一出,现场气氛顿时一凝。 In everyone heart knows, this auction is actually a competition of Special Envoy Monster Race, enchanting female words too but obviously, said directly Zhong Xiu resorted to all means. 大家心中都知晓,此次拍卖会实际还是一场妖族特使的竞争,妖娆女子此话太明显不过,直接就说钟秀不择手段了。 „Zhao Elder this word is bad, the auction advocated free bidding, the height of auction price all bids depending on the buyer, price high results, as for conforms to the market distribution price, this is uncertain. Custom Zhao Elder of this auction should be clearer than me. Moreover Spirit Stone delivers at the scene, the chamber of commerce collects the commission according to 10% handling charges, the matter in this procedure/program is the week manager supervision, in the person by the chamber of commerce is responsible for operating, how to have the trick?” Zhong Xiu at a moderate pace say/way. “赵长老此言差矣,拍卖会本就崇尚自由竞价,拍品价格的高低全凭买家竞拍,价高者得,至于是不是符合市场流通价格,这就不一定了。这拍卖的规矩赵长老应该比我更清楚吧。而且当场灵石交割,商会按照10%手续费收取佣金,这程序上的事情都是周管事监督,由商会中人负责操作,其中如何会有猫腻？”钟秀不紧不慢的道。 „As far as I know, the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion about 1/3 auction were bought by the same person, moreover finally the thing of that next to last act was also bought by his high price, so the matter of coincidence, do you give what explanation?” The enchanting female said. “据我所知,迎仙阁近三分之一的拍品都被同一人买去,而且最后那件压轴之物也是被他高价购得,如此巧合之事,你又作何解释？”妖娆女子道。 „Zhong Xiu is also very curious regarding this mysterious buyer, as for its background, the chamber of commerce should the person investigate? If even the chamber of commerce remained unknown how Zhong Xiu will know?” Zhong Xiu said with a smile slightly. “钟秀对于这位神秘买家也十分好奇,至于其背景,想必商会应该早就着人去调查了吧？若是连商会都无从得知,钟秀又怎会知晓？”钟秀微微笑道。 Enchanting female hears word stagnates, immediately looks at Zhong Xiu angrily, will speak, was broken by Wang Ruikun: 妖娆女子闻言一滞,随即恼怒地看着钟秀,正要说话,就被王瑞坤打断了: „Two elders are not no need saying that since in the person for the chamber of commerce, naturally must give priority to the chamber of commerce interest. This auction harvests many, when merit big counts your two. Especially Elder Zhong, the first preparation auction so makes brilliant achievements, makes the old man admire.” “二位长老不必多说了,既然同为商会中人,自然是要以商会利益为重。此次拍卖会收获颇丰,功劳最大者当数你们二位。尤其是钟长老,第一次筹办拍卖会就如此成绩斐然,着实让老夫佩服。” Saying, Wang Ruikun looked at enchanting female one eyes calmly, words that the enchanting female goes, cut off forcefully. 说着,王瑞坤不动声色的看了妖娆女子一眼,将妖娆女子接下去的话,硬生生掐断了。 „Ok, according to agreed recently, the old man announced, goes to Monster Race three big Tribe Special Envoy Monster Race, is competent by Elder Zhong. A month later embarks.” Wang Ruikun said. “好了,按照前次约定,老夫宣布,前往妖族三大部落的妖族特使一职,便由钟长老胜任。一个月后出发。”王瑞坤顿了顿道。 „Zhong Xiu apologized to the vice-chairman.” Zhong Xiu hears word, sets out to salute to say. “钟秀谢过副会长。”钟秀闻言,起身行礼道。 „Right, Elder Zhong, I said how today to think what was short to resemble, how Shi Mu hasn't Fellow Daoist come together?” Wang Ruikun asked. “对了,钟长老,我说今日怎么觉得少了什么似的,石牧道友怎么没一起来？”王瑞坤问道。 „He is not in the chamber of commerce the person, is only the Zhong Xiu friend, this situation not appears suitable.” Zhong Xiu said. “他并非商会中人,只是钟秀的朋友,此种场合不大适宜出现。”钟秀道。 „Hehe, Fellow Daoist Shi looked on as an outsider. Right, I have a suggestion, whether wants to make Elder Zhong pass on?” Wang Ruikun asked. “呵呵,石道友太见外了。对了,我有一个建议,可否想让钟长老代为转告一下？”王瑞坤问道。 „Vice-chairman king please say.” Zhong Xiu said. “王副会长请讲。”钟秀道。 „I want to invite Fellow Daoist Shi to join the chamber of commerce, similarly holds the post of a guest official elder duty. This Elder Zhong goes abroad on a diplomatic mission Monster Race, he can help your helping hand surely.” Wang Ruikun touched the beard, said. “我想邀请石道友加入商会,同样担任客卿长老一职。此次钟长老出使妖族,他定能助你一臂之力。”王瑞坤摸了摸胡子,如此说道。 „Good, Zhong Xiu passed certainly on.” Zhong Xiu replied. “好,钟秀一定代为转告。”钟秀答道。 Wang Ruikun encouraged Zhong Xiu several, then announced the congress to end, the people diverged gradually, Zhong Xiu said goodbye to leave similarly. 王瑞坤又勉励了钟秀几句,便宣布大会结束,众人渐渐散去,钟秀同样告辞离开。 „Uncle?” After Zhong Xiu leaves, enchanting female somewhat entreaty looks to Wang Ruikun. “叔叔？”钟秀离开之后,妖娆女子有些哀求的看向王瑞坤。 „In this competition, my already has given you too many convenient, but you collapse completely, could not complain about me.” Wang Ruikun coldly said, left in a huff. “在这个比试中,我已经给过你太多方便,但是你还是一败涂地,就怨不得我了。”王瑞坤冷冷的说了一句后,拂袖而去。 The enchanting female looks at dumbly in the one side. 妖娆女子呆立在一旁。 „Zhong Xiu......” she clenches jaws said in a low voice, in the eye full is the hatred. “钟秀……”她咬牙切齿的低声说道,眼中满是怨毒。 ...... …… After Zhong Xiu leaves the writing deep pool pavilion, in high spirits the warehouse that rents in the city south walks toward Shi Mu. 钟秀离开翰渊阁后,兴冲冲的朝着石牧在城南租下的仓库走去。 Shi Mu after the auction starts in the these day, for did not pay attention, he moved to the warehouse housing. 石牧在拍卖会开始后的这些日子里,为了不被人注意,他搬到了仓库居住。 After half double-hour, Zhong Xiu arrives at the warehouse entrance, waves to make together white light, submerged in the warehouse front door. 半个时辰之后,钟秀来到仓库门口,挥手打出一道白光,没入了仓库大门之中。 On the warehouse front door appears azure light, a moment later dissipates, the front door opens. 仓库大门上浮现出一层青光,片刻之后消散开来,大门吱呀一声打开。 The Zhong Xiu vision looked at several toward the surroundings, walked, the front door closes automatically. 钟秀目光朝着周围看了几眼,走了进去,大门自动关上。 In the warehouse, Shi Mu is sitting cross-legged to sit on the ground, both eyes shuts tightly. 仓库之中,石牧正盘膝坐在地上,双目紧闭。 He is estimating Vigorous Demon Ape Secret Art seventh Cultivation Technique, at this auction, Shi Mu also through Hou Sailei, patted blood essence of one bottle of Earth Rank monster apes, Vigorous Demon Ape Secret Art can start cultivation finally. 他正在揣摩大力魔猿脱胎决的第七层功法,这次拍卖会上,石牧也通过侯赛雷,拍下了一瓶地阶妖猿的精血,大力魔猿脱胎决终于又可以开始修炼了。 Shi Mu hears the sound, stood. 石牧听到声音,站了起来。 „Big Brother Shi!” “石大哥！” The Zhong Xiu whole face happy expression, will obtain to go abroad on a diplomatic mission the Sky Reaching Peak good news to tell Shi Mu. 钟秀满脸喜色,正要将取得出使凌天峰的好消息告诉石牧。 At this moment, her complexion suddenly one white, the eye the day transfers a while ago dizzy, on the face of snow white exuded red suddenly instantaneously, the body staggered two steps, then must throw down. 就在此刻,她脸色忽然一白,眼前一阵天晕地转,雪白的脸上突然瞬间泛起一阵红色,身体踉跄了两步,便要摔倒。 Shi Mu complexion changes, the figure in a flash, the next moment appears side Zhong Xiu, supports her body.( To be continued.) 石牧脸色一变,身形一晃,下一刻出现在钟秀身旁,一把扶住她的身体。(未完待续。)
