To be precise, it was a severed skeleton hand holding a sword. The skull's tail finger had knuckles made of pure gold, which was weird, eerie and gorgeous.
That black heavy sword, with a sharp and frightening edge, glowing with a faint blue light, was held in the pale and gloomy skeleton palm.
It makes people look horrified, but at the same time, they feel that the momentum is extraordinary. It actually feels like killing gods and demons, killing all evil spirits!
For a moment, the auction house, which was originally full of enchanting atmosphere, became extremely quiet, and the distinguished guests holding the women and admiring them all stopped.
Beatrice, who had just been auctioned for three nights at a high price, also changed into a formal black robe from the Sultan Empire and walked onto the stage.
"Dear guests, guess what this is?"
She looked at everyone present with a smile and threw out an introduction.
Everyone present was silent for a while, and suddenly someone asked tentatively: "Which Taoist temple is this a secluded and recommended thing?"
Another person who believes in Buddhism said: "Why does it have to be from a Taoist temple? It looks more like a Buddhist vajra to me!"
Beatrice paused and smiled: "If you want to use it to slay evil spirits, it's okay. Speaking of which, the owner of the Broken Palm and the Heavy Sword is full of evil spirits and has killed tens of millions of people. Most ghosts, gods and evil spirits really don't dare to fight with them.
He's right!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone was talking a lot and excited.
"Beatrice, is this the king of your sultanate?"
"Hey, is there anything worth taking a picture of, Xiaoguo Fanbang!"
"What's wrong with you, that's obviously a sword made in the Central Plains style!"
There was a lot of noise and the atmosphere was raised to the extreme.
But in Ming Lanruo's box, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Her fingers trembled slightly unconsciously and she squeezed the seat handle tightly.
Her mind was filled with the words she overheard from the ugly butler and the black market owner - Xiao Shuai's relics.
If that sword and the broken skull palm were both my grandfather's relics...
What does that mean?
Xu Xiuyi looked at the people around her worriedly, and silently held her arm tightly: "Sister Ming."
Ming Lanruo remained silent and did not speak.
Amid all kinds of noisy speculation, Beatrice suddenly stretched out her leather-gloved hand, stroked the long sword, and said slowly and authentically——
"Darkness is coming, and my red blood will be slashed in front of millions of people. My blood will be splashed in the sky, and I will not retreat until I die!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire auction house was stunned, and there was silence for a while.
It was as if everyone saw at that moment the dark sky, the silent armor, the quiet horses, and the blood-stained battle flag in the distant time and space.
Smell it in the air...
The taste of iron and blood.
Yellow sand intertwined with blizzards, and the sword pointed at it, burning the sky with flames.
I saw those silent armored soldiers, holding swords and guns, behind them were tens of millions of people living lively lives, and those armored soldiers stood as the last line of defense in the dark blizzard.
Frost and blizzard buried them, but could not make them retreat, and the bones turned into a great wall to block the darkness.
"I'll give you eight hundred taels of gold!" Someone suddenly shouted.
"What a rare item, one thousand taels of gold!"
"I, I, I... one thousand five hundred taels!"
Beatrice smiled: "Okay, it seems that you already know what this is. The only remaining bones of Marshal Xiao and the sword he was holding tightly when he died were found by someone before his body was broken into pieces after his death.
Cut off his hand first and keep it as a souvenir - the soul of the Red Blood Legion. Now the auction begins, with no bottom price and no upper limit. Each increase in price shall not be less than two hundred taels of gold!"
Listening to the exclamations that broke out and the excited bids all over the place.
"Hahaha...hahahaha...hahahahaha..." Ming Lanruo laughed softly and squeezed the handle of the chair tightly.
I lowered my head and laughed so hard that my whole body was shaking, I was laughing so hard that I burst into tears.
Hahaha... It's so funny. This is the person protected by the red blood, the prosperous age protected by the blood, this is the world protected by her flesh and blood relatives.
A pair of iron bones is weighed for free, and half a pound of loyal soul is sold for two...
Ha ha ha ha…
Hahaha………
Xu Xiuyi's face was already full of tears under her mask. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Ming Lanruo's arm: "Sister, sister... don't be anxious, you have to endure it, you have to endure it, don't let anyone know your identity, you can't
Participate in the auction!”
Beasts, they are all beasts! These are crazy beasts!
Father said that His Majesty dislikes Sister Ming very much.
If Sister Ming had not used methods to restrain the emperor and made him hate her, but could not kill her, he could only force Sister Ming to marry into the royal family. But this does not mean that His Majesty would not kill her when his back touches the reverse scale.
Home.
The Emperor is now the one who is weighing heavily on everyone!
After a long while, Ming Lanruo took a deep breath and leaned back on the chair, with a cold light floating in her bright scarlet eyes: "Why am I in a hurry? What am I in a hurry... Ha, I'm not in a hurry at all, I'm just funny, I
What does the surname Ming and Xiao have to do with me?"
She is not in a hurry, not at all, she has already decided.
I control my own life!
One day, she will burn her whole life with karma!
She wants to--
All the royal families in the city held funerals to mourn Emperor Ming!
She lowered her eyelashes, raised the back of her hand and slowly wiped away the cold tears falling on her chin, and calmly looked at the bustling auction house.
Xu Xiuyi looked at her appearance. The mask covered most of her face, and he could remain silent and accompany her quietly.
She didn't understand how this royal family could be so corrupt and crazy.
Is this the person father and the others serve and are loyal to?
Why?
She had read poetry and books since she was a child, and the books taught her that the emperor would guard the country, the king would die for the country, the civil servants would die for remonstrance, and the military would die for war, but what she saw was not like this at all!
The descendants of loyal ministers are forced to bow their heads and kneel with their knees smashed to show their submission. The king is buried in the mud under the spring and his bones are broken. The traitor is prosperous and can sacrifice everything if he has interests.
In the highest box, the black market owner wearing a golden mask and golden cloak felt extremely happy when he heard that the price had been called five thousand taels of gold.
"Sure enough, the bones of the Xiao family are valuable, hahaha. It's a pity that the Northern Mongolians drove them thousands of miles away from the northern grassland because of the Xiao family. They hated his family and insisted on trampling their corpses with thousands of horses.
Crushed into mud, we will only let us chop off one of Xiao Shuai's hands, otherwise if we are willing to keep Xiao Shuai or some major general's head, the price will probably double!"
The owner of the black market lamented that the prince needed money, and the black market was really very profitable.
Cang Qiao looked at the bustling situation below indifferently, without saying a word, and was only distracted to look at the people in the opposite box.
His eyesight was very good and he could see that slim and cold figure. She was unnaturally calm.
How can a girl of twenty years who has never experienced such a heart-wrenching parting or life-and-death experience, nor experienced too many cruel betrayals, be so calm?
He suddenly glanced at Silver Fox.
Silver Fox understood and lazily played with the whip in his hand: "This is indeed a good thing, but the price is really low. How about I help you raise the price?"
The black market owner was stunned and had not yet reacted.
Silver Fox suddenly raised his hand: "Ten thousand taels of gold!"
Suddenly the price doubled, and everyone present was in an uproar. This price could almost buy half a city.
Seeing this, Ming Lanruo narrowed her eyes and suddenly told the slave girl serving tea outside the box: "Go and call your housekeeper over. I have something to discuss with him."
