This place is located among the mountains, and in the dark night, it shows its unique charm.
This place is more like a city, with clouds and mist lingering in the sky, giving it an even more mysterious atmosphere.
Jiang You looked up at the entrance. The city gate was very high, with several large characters with a strong retro atmosphere written on it: Yuxian Town.
"Yuxian Town?" Fu Sheng read out the words and said with a look of shock, "This is Yuxian Town? The Yuxian Town that is rumored to have all kinds of treasures?"
"It's here." Jiang You nodded.
"It turns out that Yuxian Town is so close and only a little way from the capital!" Fu Sheng was even more surprised.
Jiang You curled her lips, smiled, and nodded.
Yuxian Town is named after "Eternal Transformation and Immortality". It is said that mortals became immortals here and left a platform for ascending to immortality. After that, some people gradually developed along the platform for ascending to immortality, and slowly formed a small town named "Yuxian Town".
"Thousands of years later, Yuxian Town has become a holy place in the eyes of the world, but this place is not easy to find, and most people can't find the specific location.
Jiang You also followed Murong Xiu here once in her previous life and knew the specific location. Although it is not far from the capital, the way to Yuxian Town after leaving the city is full of formations. If you are not careful, you will lose your direction.
.And the mountains surrounding Yuxian Town are all deep mountains and old forests, which are full of dangers. There is no 100% certainty. If you dare to come here, you are seeking death. Over the years, people have lost their lives while searching for Yuxian Town.
Not a lot.
Jiang You and Fu Sheng walked towards Yuxian Town, but were stopped before they even entered the town.
"Who is here? Yuxian Town is not a place you can break into if you want. Please leave quickly." The man said fiercely.
Jiang You calmly handed over a stack of silver notes and said, "I know the rules of Yuxian Town. This is the entrance fee of one thousand taels. I'm here to hunt for treasures, so please make it convenient."
With the banknote, the man's expression immediately became calmer. He took the banknote, looked at Jiang You, and said, "Treasure hunting? Fighting and robbery are prohibited in Yuxian Town. Treasure hunting must also follow the rules."
"Thanks for reminding me, I know." Jiang You nodded.
"Go in!" The man no longer felt embarrassed and let Jiang You in directly.
Fu Sheng followed Jiang You in. Not far after entering, he saw shops on both sides of the street, brightly lit and people coming and going. It was very lively. It was so prosperous that there was no such bustle even in the middle of the day in Beijing. Such a special place
, it’s really incredible.
Fu Sheng looked around and felt that everything was strange: "Miss, where is this place? It's so interesting!"
Jiang You explained with a smile: "This place is only open once a month, for twelve hours. You can see all kinds of weird things from all over the world here, and after the market closes, all outsiders will leave here, never
You are allowed to stay. On weekdays, there are only about two hundred residents in Yuxian Town..."
"So few?" Fu Sheng felt that it was indeed too few. "There are only so many people. With so many people coming when the market opens, if there is any commotion..."
"No." Jiang You shook her head, "Yuxian Town has a complicated terrain and many agencies. Most of the people who come here are treasure hunting. If they cause trouble, I'm afraid they won't get anything in the end, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"Then... why are we here?" Fu Sheng asked.
"For a painting." Jiang You said.
Jiang You still has an impression of this place. In his previous life, Murong Xiu came here to find this painting and presented it to the Queen Mother, which moved her deeply. This painting was made by an old friend of the Queen Mother and is a posthumous work. The Queen Mother has always wanted to find this painting.
The painting was never found, so Murong Xiu fell in love with him and allowed the Queen Mother to take more care of him. Now that she was starting over, she would of course stop Murong Xiu from getting the painting.
Yuxian Town has not been open for a long time this time, so Murong Xiu should not have arrived yet. After all, she has been there twice, so she has avoided the traps on the road. Murong Xiu will naturally arrive a little later than her.
The auction house is located in the middle of this street, and its front door is very conspicuous, which is also a feature of this place. There are thousands of treasures in the auction house, but it is not easy to choose the treasure you want.
When Jiang You and Fu Sheng arrived at the auction house, it was already full of people and very lively.
Jiang You and Fu Sheng found an empty seat and sat down. Fu Sheng observed the people in the room carefully and found that many people here came from far away places, and some of the costumes were rarely seen in the Central Plains.
"Yuxian Town is so close to the Imperial City, isn't the Emperor worried?" Fu Sheng asked in a low voice.
Jiang You shook his head and said: "Yuxian Town has a contract with the royal family, which guarantees that foreign guests who open the market will not find the imperial city. Yuxian Town can sit here for thousands of years, so it is naturally capable. Auctions
The auction house is the soul of Yuxian Town, and most of the foreign customers come to the auction house. Every time the market opens, the auction house will auction at least hundreds of treasures."
"So awesome!" Fu Sheng was shocked!
While Jiang You was talking to Fu Sheng, her eyes kept falling on the auction stage, paying attention to the treasures on display.
On the auction stage, five treasures were placed, all covered with red cloth, full of mystery. These things were placed in a very high position, and underneath was a tall and long wooden box. These wooden boxes looked like
The merit box in the temple is the kind that can be stuffed with things.
The rules of the auction are also very simple. The auctioneer will uncover the red cloth covering the treasures one by one, introduce the origin of the treasures one by one, and finally, give a reserve price. Those who want to participate in the auction are bidding.
Write your intended price on the card, and then put it into the bidding box of the corresponding treasure. In the end, the person with the highest price wins.
In this way, the bidding will not be an open bidding, but will depend on how much you are willing to spend and how lucky you are.
Generally speaking, people who really want a certain treasure will bid much higher than the reserve price, and will definitely end up paying much more than the public bidding.
Jiang You waited patiently for two hours before finally waiting for the painting.
"Everyone, this painting is the posthumous work of Wang Yun, a famous painter of this dynasty. Colorful phoenixes and butterflies, please appreciate it." The auctioneer showed the painting, and everyone saw a very beautiful scroll.
In the painting, the girl is covered with a veil, holding a fan in her hand, dancing in the garden. Every butterfly surrounding her looks lifelike and particularly moving.
"This painting is so beautiful."
"This girl is really beautiful. It's a pity that she is covered with a veil and her true face is not seen."
"This is beauty. What if the veil doesn't look good?"
Everyone was talking a lot.
Then, the auctioneer said: "The reserve price of this painting is one hundred taels of gold. Customers who want to bid for this painting can write a bidding sign now."
