The old man still didn't say a word. His look made Zhang Meng even more nervous, and she immediately glanced in Gu Mingtai's direction.
Gu Mingtai quickly gave her a reassuring look. Then he said, "Appraiser, how are my wife's talisman papers? Why haven't you said anything? What's going on?"
Appraiser Huang's expression changed. He chuckled at first, then rubbed his hands together and said with an ingratiating smile, "Alright, that's great. You can keep these talismans and auction them off. No problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked over eagerly again, "Well, I'm just asking, can you sell me a few of these talisman papers privately? Just a few, I don't need too many."
In fact, he wanted to buy them all, but he just didn't have that much money! Zhang Meng glanced at him and was about to speak when something suddenly occurred to her mind. She immediately changed her mind, smiled, and said, "As long as you answer one or two of my questions, I'll give you a few talismans. Anyway, these talismans are all drawn by me, so they're not worth much."
Appraiser Huang's mouth twitched, and his shining eyes swept over the pile of talisman papers. Such beautiful talisman papers were actually said to be worthless by a young girl. If the old men who were preparing to auction knew that the talisman papers they had been thinking about day and night were said to be worthless, I wonder how they would feel.
However, he was of course happy to get a few talismans without spending a penny.
"Okay, go ahead and ask. As long as it's something I know, I'll definitely know everything. How about that?"
Seeing him agree so quickly, Zhang Meng's lips curled up and she immediately asked, "What will be auctioned this time? What are the prices? Who will be participating?"
Appraiser Huang's mouth twitched again, and he pointed at her and said with a smile, "Little girl, your questions are really hard to answer."
Seeing that the other person wasn't genuinely angry, Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Isn't this because I think you're amazing? These three questions won't be difficult for you, right?"
Appraiser Huang raised his head and boasted, "That's right. Don't think I know nothing just because I'm in this small place. You're totally wrong. No one here is more informed than I am."
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't come to ask you, don't you think so?" Zhang Meng continued to praise.
Appraiser Huang hummed, looked at Zhang Meng with satisfaction, and said, "Your little girl is the most satisfying baby I've encountered in all the years I've been appraising treasures here. Okay, in view of this, I'll tell you the answers to these three questions. First, there are quite a few treasures being auctioned this time, and they're all top-notch. One of them is something you'd never guess, and even I've never seen it before."
"What is it? Tell me quickly." Gu Mingtai interrupted with a bit of impatience.
Appraiser Huang glanced at him and snorted softly, "You youngsters are like that, impatient."
Before he could finish, Gu Mingtai shot him a warning look, which frightened him so much that his expression changed slightly. He immediately changed his words and said, "Alright, I'm telling you now, isn't that enough? It's a stone box. As far as I know, that stone box was sent here by Country R for auction."
At this time, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai looked at each other, and both of their brows were furrowed. They really didn't want to even hear about Country R.
After receiving this important news, the couple no longer wanted to continue asking questions here.
Before leaving, Zhang Meng gave Appraiser Huang three talismans to dispel evil spirits.
The happy appraiser Huang was smiling so hard that his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose.
After the identification, the couple quickly found Mr. Liao and his friends sitting in the third row from the back in the lobby.
"How is it? Is everything done?" When Mr. Liao saw them coming back, he greeted them with concern.
Zhang Meng nodded, sat next to them, and immediately told them the information they had obtained from Appraiser Huang.
After hearing this, Mr. Liao didn't seem surprised at all. "Actually, Country R has been appearing more and more frequently in China recently. I'm worried that they're doing this because they have some plans against us. Unfortunately, we have so few cultivators in China that we can't find any information about them."
After hearing this, Monk Jingchen snorted loudly and said, "In my opinion, they should be driven back to their own country. We in China do not welcome people with such evil intentions."
Zhang Meng pursed her lips and whispered, "Master Jingchen, we are monks. Aren't monks supposed to be calm and composed? Why are you so angry?"
Monk Jingchen's face flushed, and he stretched his neck to explain himself, "I'm not a monk anymore. I won't follow the rules of monks anymore."
At this time, many people had already sat down. At this moment, Zhang Meng actually saw a familiar figure. It was Ichiro Sakai whom he had met last time in Country R.
At this time, Ichiro Sakai also saw this side and waved at Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng glanced at him coldly and looked away expressionlessly.
"How dare you put an ancient bowl from the Qing Dynasty up for auction? If my temple hadn't been demolished, I could have easily taken out several of these bowls. What a pity, all the things in my temple are gone!" Monk Jingchen was commenting on the items being auctioned on the stage, and while commenting he thought of his temple that had been forcibly demolished.
The next five items are antiques from the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the auction prices are not too high.
Zhang Meng yawned secretly and looked at Old Master Liao and asked, "Old Master Liao, are all the items at this auction antiques? Are there no other items that we cultivators can use?"
