Chapter 1212: Ghost Market Opens

Xu Chunliang took out the black-framed glasses he had prepared and put them on: "Mr. Hua, do I look like a cultural relic expert?"

Hua Zhuyue said: "I'll look more like one after I change my clothes."

Xu Chunliang was well prepared. He went to the trunk to get some clothes and put them on. He looked like a conservative, old-fashioned middle-aged scholar.

Hua Zhuyue took out a safe from the trunk and handed it to Xu Chunliang. It contained two million in cash. Since he was going to participate in the ghost market auction, he had to act like one. If he was going to act, he had to act like one.

Xu Chunliang's appearance had changed, and he was a little hunchbacked. His gait was completely different from the past.

Hua Zhuyue secretly praised him. With his current appearance, let alone other people, even if he didn't know the inside story, he couldn't think that he was the same person.

Xu Chunliang saw her looking at him from time to time, and smiled: "What? Don't you recognize me when I put on clothes?"

Hua Zhuyue said: "You are much shorter."

Xu Chunliang nodded. With the bone shrinking skill and hunchback, his height was at least 8 centimeters shorter than usual. Now he was only about 1.7 meters tall. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, it hasn't become smaller."

Hua Zhuyue's pretty face was hot, and she spit with seductive eyes: "Dead face!"

On the dock, someone was already waiting in advance. When he saw Hua Zhuyue coming, he hurried to greet her and greeted her respectfully: "Mr. Hua!"

Hua Zhuyue smiled calmly: "Hello, Captain Li, this is Professor Liang, the expert I invited." Professor Liang is actually Professor Liang, who simply took a character from Xu Chunliang's name.

The two got on the boat, and Hua Zhuyue sent the location to Captain Li.

Xu Chunliang followed Hua Zhuyue to the deck. The sea surface in late autumn was freezing cold, and Hua Zhuyue even put on a coat.

Xu Chunliang followed her with his head down, like a cowering old man, but his eyes looking at Hua Zhuyue could not hide the obscene passion.

Hua Zhuyue always felt that there were too many desires in his eyes, and whispered: "Don't look at me like that."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "It's your fault that you are too attractive to me."

Hua Zhuyue said: "Have you said the same thing to many women?"

Xu Chunliang nodded: "I should have said it, but it was all from the heart."

Hua Zhuyue chuckled, he was the only one who could say such words so high-soundingly, but she was not angry, and whispered: "You didn't lie to me? The side effects of the Xiantian realm are so powerful?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Why would I lie to you? A rational gentleman like me can't control it, let alone others."

Hua Zhuyue said: "It's just an excuse for your fickleness." She used her hand She gathered her hair that was messed up by the wind, tied it into a bun at the back of her head, and said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, I have never thought of marrying you, nor have I thought of asking you to take any responsibility. No one owes anyone anything."

Xu Chunliang said: "Sister Hua, I like you and respect you from the bottom of my heart."

Hua Zhuyue said: "What do you respect me for?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Respect you for being in the Lanhua Sect, out of the mud and not being stained. I'm afraid I can't do it if it's me."

Hua Zhuyue said: "Don't think of me so noble. I didn't deliberately wait for you until now, but I haven't met a pleasing person in all these years. I can't guarantee that I will meet a better one in the future. Don't blame me for kicking you out cruelly." At this point, she couldn't help laughing.

Xu Chunliang said, "You will never meet a better man than me in your life."

Hua Zhuyue bit her lip: "Are you cursing me?"

Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "My damn possessiveness."

The yacht arrived at the agreed location and saw a passenger ship docked at the scene. This is not the ghost market site, but a transfer station. Guests participating in the ghost market tonight will transfer to this passenger ship, which will take them to the ghost market.

This shows that the organizer of the ghost market is also very cautious. Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue just boarded the passenger ship and met Pu Jian who also came here. Pu Jian came with Chen Qianfan. He saw Hua Zhuyue, but did not recognize Xu Chunliang next to Hua Zhuyue.

Pu Jian took the initiative to come over to say hello, Hua Zhuyue just nodded slightly, reminding Pu Jian that in such a place, it is best for everyone to pretend that no one knows each other, so as not to attract other people's attention.

After all the guests arrived, the passenger ship sailed to the high seas, and no one knew the final destination.

Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang were arranged in the VIP area with a separate box. Xu Chunliang estimated the time and guessed that the sailing time would be about an hour, because the ghost market auction was scheduled at 0:08.

Strangely, after boarding the ship tonight, he did not see Mo Han. Xu Chunliang thought to himself, could it be that because he was not coming, Mo Han also decided to give up? But with her personality, it shouldn't be like this, or maybe it was not just their passenger ship that was responsible for transporting guests tonight?

Hua Zhuyue whispered in Xu Chunliang's ear: "Many Jianghu figures, the one-eyed king Zhao Tiehan of Qianmen, and the elder Meng Lianqing of Qiongmen are here."

Xu Chunliang had heard of Zhao Tiehan's name, but had never seen him. According to Hua Zhuyue, the scene tonight was quite big. Could it be that everyone was rushing for Huang Wanglin's Yuan Qinghua Yuhuchun vase? This possibility should not be small. It is impossible that all these well-known figures in the Jianghu are obsessed with collecting?

Hua Zhuyue patted the suitcase and said, "It seems that there are not enough rice belts."

Xu Chunliang said, "We are just joining in the fun, and we may not find anything we like."

Outside the porthole is a bright moon, and the moonlight shines on the sea, rippling the waves. At this moment, the sea is quiet and gentle.

Hua Zhuyue said, "Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise tonight."

The passenger ship sailed on the sea for more than an hour and approached an unnamed desert island at twelve o'clock.

The island is very small. There are only a few abandoned stone houses on it. It is unclear when they were left. The passenger ship is docked at the simple pier.

Xu Chunliang looked at his cell phone and saw that there was no signal. Hua Zhuyue was extra careful and brought a cell phone with a satellite phone function.

However, before landing on the island, everyone is required to leave their mobile phones on the ship. Except for cash and items used for transactions, guests are not allowed to bring other things to the island, especially communication tools and weapons.

Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue abided by the organizer's regulations and the two landed successfully.

Pu Jian's angry voice came from behind: "What's wrong with you? This is a detector, not a camera."

Xu Chunliang turned around and saw Chen Qianfan and Zeng Yuanqing standing next to Pu Jian. Both of them were carrying a box in their hands, which was probably filled with cash.

A bald, one-eyed man from behind urged: "Can you hurry up? What's wrong with Jiang Yucheng? Since he's so suspicious, don't invite us over. Let him come out. I'll ask him face to face if he treats guests like this?"

This man is Zhao Tiehan, the One-Eyed King of Thousand Sects. When he yelled, everyone else started to yell. No one who could come to participate in the ghost market auction was an ordinary person. Among them, there were many gangsters like Zhao Tiehan. These people were in their respective They are all considered leaders in the industry, and most of them have unruly personalities. The organizer's complicated procedures for landing on the island have long made them impatient.

A chubby middle-aged man smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, please calm down. Lao Jiang is also thinking about everyone's safety, so everyone should be tolerant."

Hua Zhuyue introduced in a low voice: "This person is Meng Lianqing."

Xu Chunliang paid special attention to it. He had problems with the poor Han Tianchi and his gang, and was targeted several times. Even his grandfather was framed. Although it was unclear whether those incidents had anything to do with Meng Lianqing, Xu Chunliang was right. Poor people don't have much favor.

Hua Zhuyue said: "It is said that Jiang Yucheng started his career in theft as a disciple of the Thieving Clan, but now the Thieving Clan has long been disintegrated under official control. They have a close relationship with the Poor Clan and often cooperate."

After Meng Lianqing came forward, Zhao Tiehan remained silent. Although he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Qianmen, his strength and status in Qianmen were greatly affected because of the case. Meng Lianqing started his career in metal recycling. His business is inconspicuous, but his net worth is tens of billions, and Zhao Tiehan cannot compare to him in terms of strength or reputation.

The ghost market was temporarily built on this desert island. Although it is not much different from the stalls in the antique market, the items sold are all high-quality, and those who are traded here have a common characteristic, that is It cannot be sold in the legal market. To put it bluntly, it is a scene of selling stolen goods.

When they disembarked, everyone received an envelope, which contained auction instructions, mainly tonight's key treasures. There were three pieces in total, one of which was the Yuan blue and white jade pot and spring vase lost in Linzhengtang. The auction base price was one million, I think. To participate in the auction, you must first verify your capital and pay a deposit of 200,000. This threshold alone has excluded many people.

The auction time is set at one o'clock in the morning, so there is enough time to go through the formalities.

The auction order of Yuan blue and white is the second item. The first item is a bronze tripod from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, with a base price of 300,000. According to the rules of the auction, the most valuable item is left to the end. Xu Chunliang paid special attention to the third item. The auction item is a bamboo slip from the Warring States Period. The reserve price of the bamboo slip has reached two million.

Xu Chunliang accompanied Hua Zhuyue to complete the capital verification procedures. There were still forty minutes before the auction, so the two of them walked around the ghost market.

Most of the people who come to the ghost market have no chance to participate in the auction. They only want to take away a few favorite items from the ghost market. After all, most of the things on the market are illegally obtained. As long as you have a good eye, there are many opportunities to find something missing.

Pu Jian and Chen Qianfan were also picking and choosing in the ghost market.

Xu Chunliang looked around. Hua Zhuyue saw that he was absent-minded and whispered, "Miss your little lover?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I don't have that kind of relationship with her. She has too many evil intentions."

Hua Zhuyue said: "Then you still take the initiative to seek cooperation with her?"

Xu Chunliang said: "How can I find out her depth without bringing her into the game?"

Hua Zhuyue spat: "Shameless."

Xu Chunliang realized that Hua Zhuyue had misunderstood what he meant, coughed and said, "I can't get enough of you."
