Chapter 094
The failure of the second item made Zhong Lin more convinced of his previous judgment, that is, the islanders, the gray-robed Taoist and the masked woman all came to strike the peach wood against lightning! Through Zhong Lin's previous "observation", except for Chen Wan's peach forest, there were either no elves on the other four peach forests, or there were elves attached to it just now, and his "Taoism" was far from enough to attract lightning, or even if he was struck by a crooked lightning, he would have no spiritual power.
"It's all Taolin, why isn't anyone taking pictures of this film?"
"Who knows? It may seem that it's really different!"
"It's obvious, it must be different. Either you shoot them all or you don't shoot them. How could it be so coincidental!"
"It seems that the water here is very deep. We laymen should just watch the fun..."
"That's right, don't put yourself in the ditch!"
The people in the audience said one by one.
"The third item is still a peach forest. This peach forest is very close to the first peach forest. The straight line distance is less than 200 meters. The auction price is only 150,000 yuan!"
The host didn't say many peach trees, let alone the age of the tree, because he had seen some tricks - it seemed that the "God of Wealth" was not interested in the peach trees themselves, maybe it was just because of their geographical location! Do they really know that there is a mine underground in that place? Since that's the case, he simply talked about the geographical location of the peach forest and saw if it would be close to the first peach forest, and whether it would be the eyes of everyone...
However, after the host repeatedly reminded him that he could quote, no one was willing to bid. In this way, the third item followed the footsteps of the second item...
The next fourth lot is no exception, and it still has not escaped the fate of failing to sell it!
When the fifth item was in the first place, even the host had no confidence, because this peach forest was the worst among all peach forests, and it was simply useless! Before he introduced it, he smiled and then briefly introduced it:
"The fifth item is a peach forest, with a total of 30 peach trees, with a starting price of 100,000 yuan..."
As expected, after he improved for a while after introducing Taolin's basic situation, he still had no offer.
"Whether there is a quote? If not, I will announce that the sale has failed!" The host became much more straightforward.
"I'll pay 100,000 yuan!"
Just as the host was about to announce that the fifth item was unsold, a handsome young man raised the sign.
"Okay, the bidder No. 8 has bid 100,000 yuan, are there anyone else to bid?"
The host finally felt energetic. He first looked at the masked girl and found that the masked girl had just looked up and down at the bidder No. 8. After watching for more than ten seconds, she continued to play with her phone. It seemed that she was more interested in the appearance of the bidder No. 8 than Taolin, and she didn't look like she wanted to take a photo! He looked at the gray-robed Taoist and the island people who had just returned from outside, and found that they had no intention of bidding. Can't they really copy the hot scene of the first item?
The host instantly looked like a deflated ball.
"Are there any bids?...100,000 yuan per time..."
...
"100,000 twice..."
...
"100,000 yuan three times!"
"Congratulations to the No. 8 bidder Zhong Lin for winning the fifth lot for 100,000 yuan!"
Until the auction hammer hit the table, the host did not wait for the hot scene he expected to appear, but fortunately, there was no such thing as the first three failed shots, which was also a consolation prize.
"Who is this young man? I'm afraid I'm not here to find a bargain?"
"Didn't you hear the host say it? It's called Zhong... By the way, 'Zhong Lin'..."
"What do you care about him? "Zhong Lin" and "Biao Lin"! I don't think so! I probably fell into the ditch. Didn't you even bid without looking at those people? That is to say, it's not worth the price at all!"
"You can't tell me, the young man is quite handsome!"
"Don't be crazy, what's wrong with being handsome? You can eat it as a food!"
No one in the audience thought that Zhong Lin’s decision to take the fifth peach forest was correct. Even Chen Wan, who had been dealing with peach trees for most of his life, thought so!
In fact, Chen Wan is very familiar with the peach forest taken by Zhong Lin. Its original owner, Chen Gousheng, was still a distant relative of Chen Wan, but that person was not only lazy, but also obsessed with gambling, so he owed a lot of debts! Usually no one was taking care of this peach forest and was basically in a state of self-destruction. This time, Chen Gousheng also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of this auction to see if he could meet any sucker at a good price to pay off his debts.
Chen Wan wanted to stop Zhong Lin, but he had no chance at all. He just finished the deal in one round!
“The sixth lot today is…”
Just as the host was about to announce the start of auction of the sixth auction item, he suddenly saw a reminder from the backstage staff and knew what might have happened, so he hurried to the backstage.
After a brief exchange with the staff, the host walked to the front of the stage and said: "Today's sixth auction target - Taotou, which was struck by lightning, will no longer be auctioned publicly because its owner withdraws the auction. In order to express his apology, the owner of the sixth item will compensate everyone here for a one-thousand-yuan consumption coupon for Shili Taoyuan. Well, today's auction ends here. Thank you again! And I would like to congratulate you on the winner of the first item, Mr. Jiro Yamazaki and Mr. Zhong Lin, the winner of the fifth item..."
"Hey, it's not bad. Today is not in vain! I can still get a consumption coupon of 1,000 yuan after watching the fun, which is enough to spend a meal in Shili Taoyuan..."
More than half of the people on the scene were just watching the fun. As for whether the auctioneer withdraws the auction, they don’t care whether they want to withdraw the auction! What’s more, there are still consumer coupons to receive.
However, there was a person at the scene who was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet...
"Baga, Baga!"
"The islanders are farting again..."
"Go and get the consumption coupons, don't pay attention to him!"
After a while, the people on the scene were already gone.
The islanders had no choice but to leave in a panic.
At this time, Chen Wan walked to Zhong Lin and Zong Qiang and smiled and said, "Zhong Lin, don't you want my peach tree that was struck by lightning? I won't sell it anymore, I'll give it to you now!"
"This...this is not possible!" Zhong Lin quickly refused.
"Why can't it be? Your brother made me earn millions more than one word. What's the point of giving you a broken wood? Even if it's really worth some money, it's considered that I'm rewarding you. Okay, that's it! If you refuse again, it'll be a slap in the face." Chen Wan said very seriously.
After hearing what Chen Wan said, Zhong Lin couldn't refuse anymore.
However, all this did not escape the eyes not far away...
"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong, please stay, please stay!"
When Zhong Lin and others were about to leave, they heard someone shouting behind them.
Zhong Lin turned around and looked at the sound. He saw two people dressed in Taoist priests not far away walking towards him. The one who walked in front was the gray-robed Taoist priest who had participated in the auction before.
Zhong Lin asked with a smile: "Master, are you calling me?"
At this moment, the gray-robed Taoist priest had already walked up to Zhong Lin and said very humbly: "Mr. Zhong, I have something to ask for, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
"Master, you are polite. You can't afford to take care of me. If you have something to say, it's okay." Zhong Lin bowed and said.
The gray-robed Taoist priest was stunned when he heard Zhong Lin calling himself "Junior", but he instantly returned to normal and said, "Since that's the case, I'll forgive me for saying it bluntly! I'm not hiding it from Mr. Zhong. Today, our master and disciple came to the Ten Mile Peach Forest to thunder and strike peach wood."
The Taoist priest of gray robe paused for a moment, and saw that Zhong Lin's expression had not changed much. He was still smiling and looked at his ears. So he continued: "We know that the situation of this peach forest in Jushi Chen is a bit special, so we spend all of our efforts to get this peach forest, but you also saw it. Our money is not enough! Alas..."
As he said that, the Taoist priest of gray robe changed his tone and said, "I have just heard that Mr. Chen has given the thunder-slashed peach wood to Mr. Zhong. I wonder if Mr. Zhong can give it up and sell it to me."
"this……"
When Zhong Lin heard the gray-robed Taoist priest say this, he had a smile on his face and suddenly became serious. After he hesitating for a while, he said: "Master Zhang wants this thunder to strike peach wood?"
"My master bought thunder and peach wood to refine talisman paper. In addition to the Tianshi Mansion, the talisman paper refined by our Zixia Palace is the best..." The little Taoist priest next to the gray-robed Taoist priest said arrogantly.
"Qingfeng!"
Seeing the gray-robed Taoist priest interrupting him, the little Taoist priest called "Qingfeng" flattened his mouth and took a step back, lowered his head.
The Taoist priest from gray robe coughed and continued, "As the little disciple said just now, I bought this thunder-striking peach wood to refine talisman paper, but unfortunately, this thunder-striking peach wood is something that is hard to come by and is hard to encounter. Mr. Zhong, please offer a price. As long as you can accept the price, I will never bargain!"
Zhong Lin hesitated and asked, "Master Zhang, I would like to ask, if it was the thunder-striking peach wood today that gave you the Zixia Palace to refine talisman paper, how many talisman paper can you refine, and what color of talisman paper is it?"
"this……"
When the gray-robed Taoist priest heard Zhong Lin's question, he couldn't help but look Zhong Lin up and down again. He thought that Zhong Lin wanted this thunder to strike peach wood just to ward off evil spirits, and at most he thought that strange goods were only a habitable thing. As the so-called "scarcity is precious", everyone knows this. In recent years, thunder to strike peach wood has become a precious wood species, which is much more powerful than old-fashioned precious woods such as huanghuali, red sandalwood, agarwood, and golden nanmu! But except for Taoist people, few people know the true value of strike peach wood!
But now Zhong Lin actually asked him about refining talisman paper, which surprised him very much, so he said, "What is the connection between Mr. Zhong and my Taoism?"
Zhong Lin nodded and said, "To be honest, I really have some connection with Taoism, and I am very interested in talismans."
After hearing Zhong Lin's words, the gray-robed Taoist looked much darker. After a while of silence, he said again: "Is it possible that Daoist Zhong is from Longhu Mountain?"
Zhong Lin smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhang, you misunderstood. I am not from Longhu Mountain. I also came from Southeast City. I am from Tieguanmen."
