Tomb Raider: The comprehension is against the sky, and the achievement is indestructible

Chapter 83: Lighting the Sky Lantern, the Whole Audience Shocked
After figuring this out, Su Mo sat back and watched the action at the auction and other people quietly.

There is no mark on the foreheads of the Wang family members, so you cannot tell who is a member of the Wang family just by looking at their appearance.

So, after Su Mo looked at the people around him, he sat there calmly, waiting for the auction to begin.

After a while, an auctioneer in a suit and tie walked onto the stage, and a servant behind him brought out the first item for auction.

This is a Ru kiln porcelain vase from the Song Dynasty. The vase is plump and round, with smooth lines and delicate body. The color is like jade, and it seems to change with the light!

Big Gold Teeth couldn't help but open his mouth wide:

"Wow, the first lot is so impressive. The auction at the Crescent Hotel is really worthy of its reputation!"

Su Mo took a look at the Ru kiln porcelain vase being auctioned, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Qishan and Uncle Wu not far away.

However, the two of them were motionless, just sitting there quietly drinking tea, while many people in other boxes began to get restless, and a noisy discussion was heard in the hall below.

"The collection for this auction is the Ru Kiln Beauty Vase from the Song Dynasty. The starting price is 300,000, and the minimum bid is 50,000. If you are interested, you can start bidding!"

After the auctioneer finished his introduction, the bidding began. As expected, many people in the hall below began bidding, and soon the price was called up to 1.3 million.

But during the whole process, Zhang Qishan, Uncle Wu, Huo Xiangu and others did not move at all, and it was obvious that their targets were definitely not these ordinary antiques.

Finally, this Ru kiln porcelain vase was sold to a buyer for two million yuan.

Afterwards, several antiques were auctioned, but they were all valuable items. It was the first time for Big Gold Teeth and Huba Yi Wang Pangzi to see such an auction, and they watched the whole process intently. Only Su Mo and Zhang Qiling sat there calmly, not nervous at all.

Soon, Tingnu touched another gorgeous box and walked onto the stage, and the large screen behind the auctioneer directly played photos of the auction items, but they were three pictures.

Su Mo's pupils suddenly contracted after seeing these three photos.

Qilin jelly, deer grass, blue snake gall!
"My dear friends, this time the auction items are three rare medicinal herbs, Qilinjieluhuoca and blue snake gall!"

The auctioneer said with a smile:

"These three medicinal herbs are rare treasures. Many friends should know their value, so I won't introduce them in detail. The reserve price for this auction is one million yuan. Please start bidding!"

Su Mo listened to the auctioneer's introduction, but his eyes were on Zhang Qishan.

The crescent moon is curved like an eyebrow, with no sign of reunion; the red beans are unbearable to look at, with eyes full of tears of longing.

These three medicinal herbs were exactly what Zhang Qishan and Yin Xinyue had when they first met. They were also the tokens of their love. But no one would have thought that he would actually put them up for auction!

In order to lure out the Wang family, Zhang Dafo is really willing to do so!
But Zhang Qishan was still sitting on the chair calmly, holding the tea bowl in one hand and sipping tea slowly, seemingly unperturbed.

But Su Mo knew that although he looked calm, his eyes were definitely looking at everyone present to see their reactions.

As expected, there was a stir among the people at the auction. Some people did not know the value of these three herbs and had confused expressions on their faces, while others knew how rare they were and had begun licking their lips restlessly, looking nervously at the auction items on the stage.

Su Mo frowned slightly, and suddenly waved to a waiter downstairs, pointing his finger at a small lantern next to him.

The lantern was only the size of a small watermelon, covered with green gauze, and looked very delicate and small. The waiter seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he used a long pole to hold the lantern in front of Su Mo.

As the small lantern was forked into Su Mo's box, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Su Mo.

Sky Lantern!

Then, the whole audience suddenly burst into cheers and applause.

Huba, Wang Pangzi and the others were somewhat puzzled by the sudden cheers and applause, and they looked at the lantern in Su Mo's hand without knowing what it meant.

"Master, what's going on?"

"Isn't it just a small lantern? Why are they so excited?"

Big Gold Teeth just smiled:
"You don't know this. Master wants to light the sky lantern!"

"Light a sky lantern?"

Huba and the other two still looked confused.

Big Gold Teeth smiled and said:
"Lighting the sky lantern is a special rule in the Crescent Hotel. This small lantern is the sky lantern. Once someone lights the sky lantern, everyone present can bid. But no matter how much money is offered, the auction item belongs to the master, but the master must also pay according to the highest bid!"

"This... my goodness, this is too arrogant!"

Fatty Wang and Huba were stunned with shock.

No wonder Su Mo asked Da Jin Ya to sell many funerary objects and silver dollars before he came, but it turned out that he kept them for lighting sky lanterns!
Facing the cheers and applause from the audience, Su Mo remained calm. He just lowered his head, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip quietly. Then he asked Da Jin Ya to hang the small green lantern representing the sky lantern in the upper left corner of the box.

Su Mo knew the function of Qilin Jelly. When ordinary people ate it, they would have Qilin blood. The value of this thing was far beyond the common people's cognition, so Su Mo would never let it fall into the hands of others!

The deer grass and blue snake gall are even more rare treasures. The deer grass, also known as Tianmingjing, has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. The blue snake gall comes from an extremely rare blue-blooded snake that lives in extremely cold places. The gall of this snake can cure all diseases, and ordinary people can be free from all diseases after eating it!

If Su Mo takes these two things, not only can he increase his lifespan, but he can also quickly improve his skills.

Compared with them, money is nothing!
"Dear guests, I didn't expect that the Crescent Hotel would once again stage a sky lantern feat today. I have been an auctioneer for many years, but this is the first time I have seen it!"

The auctioneer stood on the stage and looked at the green lantern in the upper left corner of Su Mo's box. He couldn't suppress his inner excitement and spoke loudly.

Although the lighting of sky lanterns at the Crescent Hotel has a long history, it is rarely seen in many years. Back then, Zhang Dafoye lit up the sky lanterns once in order to auction these three items, but now it has been decades.

But no one would have expected that the descendant of the Taoist monk who had been sitting calmly in the box drinking tea and showing disdain for the auction items in front of him, would now directly light a sky lantern!

In the distance, Uncle Wu, Zhang Qishan, Huo Xiangu and others were looking at Su Mo in astonishment. Zhang Qishan's eyes were full of confusion when he looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled faintly and waved to the auctioneer, indicating that the bidding could begin.

Now that the sky lanterns have been lit, all the bids present will be paid for by Mr. Su, the most handsome man in the audience!
