The immediate ceremony of the Mopin Qimen was held in the reading seat of Haotang, and there were no factions of Shanyi Hu Fengmen. But with Mr. Rand watching the ceremony, his identity can now represent the factions of Nine Stars, Sand Elimination, Form Law, and Songhe Valley, and one person can hold a big scene.

When the crowd returned to the main hall from the backyard. Now that even the incense table and seats have been arranged, it is only then that Zhang Wang and the others have been prepared. After a long period of foresight and planning, it is time to really make a move. It only took one day, and everything fell into place

At very different times, the ceremony began with Jian Xiao Zhang Kui putting on a ceremonial dress, burning incense and purifying his hands to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties, and then accepting the congratulations of the same door, becoming the first head of the Xunluan faction in 66 years.

When the doorman had finished his greetings and You Fang stepped forward to congratulate, he took out an object and stood in front of the incense case and said, "The head of the Xunluan faction, please kneel." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, according to the rules, you only need to give your hand, and Zhang Lei Chang can return the salute. How can there be a reason to come forward to congratulate but ask the other party to kneel? And You Fang actually stood in front of the ancestral incense case!

But as soon as Zhang Wang saw the things of his handkerchief, he immediately knelt down, and Hao Fengjun also got up and pulled Lu Changlin, and whispered four words in his ear: "Looking for the jade raft." ”

Lu Changlin was stunned, his expression was shocked, and he was also pulled by Hao Fengjun to kneel behind Zhang Lei, where Bao Xian led He Deqing, Bao Ran, Zhang Liubing, Zhang Liuhua and others to the ground.

You Fang did not hold the jade raft in his hand, but tied it in the air with a golden silk ribbon, and there was a red, blue and yellow ribbon underneath to tie the knot of heaven, earth and man. And there are long spikes hanging down, which is very elegant and exquisite. The disciples of the Xunluan faction have naturally seen the map of Xunluan Yuxuan for a long time, and when they see it, they can respond to it, even if they are far away and don't see it clearly, they can understand what is going on when they see that the heads in front of them are kneeling.

Is it true or fake? There is no need to test this kind of occasion, Zhang Lei has admitted it, and Bao Xian has also knelt down, is there still a mistake! The disciples of the Xunluan Sect all fell to the ground, except for a few who knew in advance. The rest were shocked and excited.

Only then did You Fang slowly speak: "This jade raft is missing sixty-six years ago, and two years ago, a senior was occasionally seen in an overseas auction house, and I don't know what its origin is. He bought it for me to take back to China, and gave it instructions. After the Xunluan faction reorganizes the sect and establishes a new head, this inheritance token will be returned to Zhao. After I returned to China, I realized that the Xunluan Sect had not been rectified for many years, and I didn't know when I would have to wait, but I didn't expect to be able to fulfill my wish today! ”

If the little wanderer a year and a half ago ran to Xunluan with a jade raft, I don't know what would happen? But now Mr. Rand said this, no one present questioned it, and they all knelt on the ground and listened with bated breath.

After saying this, You Fang held up the jade plaque with both hands, knelt down on one knee to return the salute, and then said: "Everyone, please get up." "Zhang, the master. Please move on! "I was the first to get up.

Zhang Lei got up and changed positions with You Fang, stood in front of the incense case, and did not reach out to pick up the jade leaf, but tied the jade raft to his belt by You Fang himself, he carried his left hand, and the jade pendant with golden silk and colored spikes hung on his left waist, which was very eye-catching.

For this moment, Zhang Wang had already made preparations, and today he was wearing a very classical bamboo cloth gown. The belt is just right for jade. Just kidding, if he and Lu Changlin walked out together, and others didn't introduce him, but only said that the head of the Xunluan faction was among them, strangers would almost think that Zhang Kui was the head, that is, a faction of respectful and radiant, and he couldn't stand it up just by pretending to be on the shelf.

You Fang tied up the jade pendant and took a step back, and suddenly had a feeling of brightness in front of his eyes, he could sense that Zhang Kui quietly unfolded his divine sense to stimulate the jade raft that had no heart to imprint the spirit, but this thing was still a magic weapon, Zhang Kui and the jade raft seemed to be one in the divine thought, and had the courage to stand on the ground and become a spiritual hub and echo the mountains and rivers and seashores outside this house.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang!" You congratulated him with a fist, which was a pun.

It has been more than twenty years since Zhang Wang's breakthrough to the realm of the Soul Shift. The skill is profound, and this realm has long been cultivated to the extreme, but it has not yet stepped into the threshold of turning divine consciousness into divine thought. Maybe it's because there are too many mundane affairs, or maybe all the minds are concerned about the major event of reorganizing the sect, I thought it would be difficult to have hope in this life, but today's great wish was fulfilled, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough in the secret law realm, and the opportunity was very mysterious and indescribable.

Bao Xian, who was present, also saw it, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, among the fellow disciples and brothers, he knew Zhang Lei's secret method cultivation very well, and Zhang Kui finally took this step.

Next, the head Zhang Lei led everyone to thank Mr. Rand, returned from overseas from thousands of miles, and happened to send back the sect's token on this occasion, which is a great kindness!

Xunluan Jade Raft returned to the Xunluan faction, Zhang Lei, the head of the family, deserves his name, and no one can probably have the slightest doubt. Even smart people thought that Mr. Rand had brought back the news of the jade raft to find the mountains, and Zhang Lei and others probably knew about it a long time ago, so Bao Xian and Hao Fengjun would cooperate with him. I made up my mind to come to this one today.

Next, Zhang Lei untied the jade tube and offered it to the incense case. Lead all the disciples to worship their ancestors, and you Fang watched the ceremony on the sidelines. Wait until the ceremony is over. Zhang Wang did not delay, and immediately handled the affairs of the door on the spot as the head of the house, which was very clean and neat.

According to the previous agreement, Lu Changlin was appointed as the worship elder, and Zhang Kui himself was also promoted to the head of the house, so it was necessary to nominate two inner hall elders. There are those who meet the wind and rudder immediately recommend Zhang Liubing, and Zhang Lei denied that someone recommended He Deqing on the grounds of "young age and two-legged words", which is very bad for Zhang Liuhua, don't look at Zhang Liuhua is usually a joke among the young disciples of the Xunluan faction, but today it is really eye-catching.

It is not uncommon for him to serve as an elder of the inner hall at a young age, Xiang Yinghua of Songhe Valley and Canglan of the Sand Elimination Sect are not very old, but they are already the elders of the inner hall. But the situation of He Deqing, Zhang Liubing and others is different, their experience and prestige are indeed not enough for the contribution and influence of the sect, and in the end, it was Du Fengjun who proposed these two to be the elders of the outer hall.

As for Zhang Liuhua, Zhang Lei Shunyue pushed the boat to appoint him as the deacon of the inner hall, and on this occasion, Zhang Liuhua, who wanted to avoid the affairs of the sect, could not refuse, so he had to secretly complain and have to accept his life. Zhang Liuhua knew that his father had been trying to find an excuse to let him participate more in the affairs of the Xunluan faction and take more responsibility for the sect, and today he finally seized the opportunity, who called him the number one master among the younger generation?

In the end, Zhang Kui nominated and everyone deliberated and approved, appointing Yunmengsan and Long Yingxi as the elders of the inner hall. Yunmeng Sanren is the junior brother of Zhang Kui and Bao Xian, and in recent years, he has simply been out of sight because of the untidy sect. I've been wandering around and never returning. Now that Xunluan Yuwei has returned to the sect for reorganization, it's time to call him back. On seniority, qualifications, and secret cultivation. He deserves a place among the elders of the inner hall.

Long Yingxi was originally a deacon in the inner hall, and he has been Zhang Wang's right-hand man for many years, diligent and conscientious, Zhang Wang has many specific affairs that are entrusted to him, and no one can object to the merit and contribution if he is not promoted to the elder of the inner hall.

After discussing the personnel issue, Zhang Shui led the crowd to get up and bow to You Fang Chang, and respected him as an elder outside the door on the spot, which was also expected. You Fang, the worship elder outside the door, is much more honorable than Hao Fengjun and Lu Changlin, the two worship elders in the door, he is an important figure in reviving the prestige of the Xunluan faction, and he is also the core figure in the reorganization of the Xunluan sect, which is almost the same as the head of the Taishang sect.

After the three worship elders sat down, Zhang Lei discussed and decided on another matter, moving the inner hall of the Xunluan faction from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, and the location was the Xunluan Building.

The Xunluan faction is not like the Songhe Valley and the Xingfa faction have a sectarian dojo that has been inherited since ancient times, and Zhang Lei was before the construction of the Xunluan Building. He bought a manor at the foot of Baiyun Mountain on the outskirts of Guangzhou and opened it in the name of a resort garden, in fact, to create a sect dojo suitable for practicing secret methods.

Looking back, Zhang Wang is indeed far-sighted, and he is steady step by step, and he will stay in charge until he becomes the leader. All the preparations have been made long ago. Moreover, the Xunluan faction is the most successful "reform" in today's rivers and lakes and the best integration with the contemporary social environment, as long as the internal problems are properly handled, other things are not big problems.

Zhang Lei had long had a plan to move the Xunluan faction north, and the inner hall was moved from Hong Kong to the mainland and the Zongmen Dojo was established, and now this wish has also been realized, and his proposal has been successfully passed. The relocation of the inner hall to the north only means that the key direction of the exhibition in the future is still in Hong Kong, and there are still personnel stationed in Hong Kong to handle various affairs.

So many things seem complicated. But Zhang Mat had all of it done before the dinner began. You Fang nodded again and again in admiration on the side, this is called the master. What the Xunluan faction needs is a person like Zhang Lei!

The Xunluan faction took advantage of the sect conference to reorganize the sect, and it was a plan to move, and there was no leakage of any news in advance, so all the factions in the rivers and lakes did not know. After the news came out the next day, the masters of various factions who had always been friends with Zhang Kui came to congratulate one after another, and other sects also sent disciples to send congratulatory gifts.

The congratulatory gifts were basically two copies, one for Zhang Wang and the other for Mr. Rand. Mr. Rand sent back the Xunluan jade note, and Zhang Lei was the head of the Xunluan faction, and everyone had heard about it.

Some people still wondered why the Xunluan faction, which had been at odds for so many years, suddenly integrated the sect? When I heard the news, I "realized" that it turned out to be because I was looking for the mountains and the jade was recovered.

A few days ago, Mr. Rand entrusted the land master Liu Li to send the crane-winged bagpipes back to Songhe Valley, and found out the mystery of Xiang Zuohu's disappearance, this matter has spread all over the rivers and lakes, he has successively become the worship elder of Songhe Valley and Xunluan faction, and has been very kind to the disciples of various factions, of course, everyone takes this opportunity to express their friendship or gratitude.

Because the news was so sudden, the heads of some sects or elders of the sects could not spare time, so they asked their disciples to rush to Hong Kong with congratulatory gifts. There are also important people who came in person, such as Cangxiao, the head of the sand elimination faction who is cooperating with the Xunluan faction, and Yang Yicheng, the head of the Xingfa faction, also made a special trip to Hong Kong to congratulate him, and the person sent by Jiuxing is more special, it is the former head Shen Shenyi.

When these people arrived in Hong Kong, they were greeted by Zhang Wang himself. Long Yingxi and Zhang Liubing were in charge of the hospitality, but they didn't see You Fang at the first time.

You Fang has already left, and before leaving, there is still an explanation, and the congratulatory gifts sent to him by each party, if it is something, he will ask Zhang Lei to take it back to Guangzhou and put it in his office, and if it is a gift money, it will be directly deposited into his account.

You Fang was on the second day after the Xunluan Sect Sect Assembly ended. Hide your trail and leave the Seeker Faction. Zhang Liuhua disguised himself and escorted him to the city of Hong Kong, and returned after being sure that no one was following him. You Fang contacted Satoru Chi Zhong, and Satoru Chi Zhong had been waiting for a long time. can be regarded as looking forward to him.

The preparations for the series of auctions have been prepared, You Zuming's restored and forged crowns have all arrived in Hong Kong, and the scepter of the Jade Brown Pavilion in New York has also been sent to Chi Zhong Wu's auction house, and the plan can start at any time, but the second lecture of the child himself, Chi Zhong Wu Xinjia is always not the bottom

You Fang stayed at Chi Zhong Wu's house, and the two discussed for a day, and the next day there was a very eye-catching news in Hong Kong, the little-known Xianchi auction house was going to hold a special auction, and a British crown would be auctioned.

The first thing that attracted the interest of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong Zhuo and attracted reporters to report on it was not the crown itself, but its origins involved in the gossip of a Hong Kong tycoon

Xiao Chang, a well-known industrialist and one of the three richest people in Hong Kong, is said to be in weak health. Symptoms of hypoglycemia are often present. A box of gummies was placed on the desk. This is not big news. The bigger news is that this "box" of gummies is said to have been put on the "box" of Gummies, and it is said that when Satoru Chi visited Xiao Chang during the Chinese New Year, the thing on his desk was very peculiar, it was an upside-down hat propped up with a triangular silver frame, and it turned out to be a crown when you looked closely.

The young master of the Chi family asked Xiao Chang, what is the origin of this crown? Shaw often told him that it was the crown of King Richard of England.

Richard is known as the Lionheart. The son of Henry II, he reigned for ten years from 11** to 1199, but spent most of his time abroad, living in England for less than a year. Richard participated in three Crusades, and in 1192 he was on his way home from a third crusade. He was kidnapped by Duke Leobold of Austria in Vienna and paid a ransom of 100,000 British before being released.

The king went out with a large army, but was kidnapped and blackmailed on the way, and obediently paid a ransom in exchange for freedom. It's a bizarre history, but it's true. The so-called kings of the European Middle Ages may sound quite spirited, but in fact, the pomp and circumstance is not as good as a county order in the Tang Dynasty.

It was at that time that the crown was lost, and after 800 years of collecting for many generations, it finally fell into the hands of Hong Kong tycoon Xiao Chang.

Chi Zhongwu asked curiously, why don't you collect such a precious antique well, but put it to make a candy box?

Xiao Chang sighed. explained that this was what his wife meant, thinking that when Mrs. Xiao saw this crown, she asked Xiao Chang to use it as an ashtray, but this thing was leaky when it was turned upside down, and it was not easy to receive cigarette ash. But Xiao Chang still did what his wife wanted. I made a shelf to support it. Turn it upside down and put the gummies.

The above is the origin of the British crown that Saltpond Auction House will auction, this celebrity gossip is very interesting, almost all the major media in Hong Kong have reported it, and it is not in the entertainment section but in the news section. Many newspapers even included photos on the front page.

This news may seem absurd, but it is worth believing. Because Mrs. Xiao is a well-known tigress, there was another story more than ten years ago, which was also on the news pages of major media at that time. It was a few years before Hong Kong's handover, and the Queen of England conferred on him a knighthood in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the Hong Kong Exhibition.

This is not an uncommon thing, when the movie star Jackie Chan and others also received the knighthood of the Queen of England and had the so-called aristocratic status.

Some people may not understand that today, the UK still has a status hierarchy, and the parliament is divided into the upper house and the lower house. The status of a federal citizen is distinguished by that of a nobleman and a commoner. Nobility is obtained by hereditary or merit, and is called hereditary nobility and new nobility, respectively, and knight is the lowest rank of nobility.

Xiao Chang himself was not unhappy, but Mrs. Xiao was angry, grabbed his ear and said four words: "Shame, you dare!" ”

As a result, Xiao Chang really did not accept the award, which made the governor of Hong Kong at the time a little embarrassed, and some other celebrities who accepted the same award of Hong Kong Fu also felt a little embarrassed, Xiao Chang was a little bit of a face in the face of everyone. Xiao Chang himself didn't plan to refuse at first, and the main trick also considered this factor. We're going to have to do business together in the future.

But after Feng, the reporters hyped up all the lace gossip, how Xiao Chang was afraid of guilt, and how powerful Mrs. Xiao was, which resolved the embarrassment of the matter itself, and Mrs. Xiao's prestige has spread since then. With an anecdote more than ten years ago as a foreshadowing, this one was exposed again today, and everyone didn't feel too surprised, and some people even praised that he was really rich, and even the candy box on the table was the British crown!

These were first gossip from paparazzi from all walks of life, and spread throughout Hong Kong overnight, and then spread to the mainland and overseas. The day after seeing the newspaper, many reporters came to the Xianchi Auction House, and Chi Zhongwu immediately confirmed that the news was true and officially announced the auction. The special auction will be held on the second day of the second lunar month of the Chinese lunar calendar.

In recent years, many large-scale auctions have been held in Hong Kong, and internationally renowned auction companies such as Christie's and Sotheby's have tossed around here. But the auctions were all Chinese antiquities, and this was the first time that something like the British crown had appeared. The news spread quickly in the international collecting community, and the major news media also reprinted it one after another, and the hype was boiling. Chi Zhong Satoru even saves advertising costs, if he does the publicity himself, no amount of money will be able to have this effect. There is still half a month before the second day of the second lunar month, and then Ikezhong Satoru is busy, of course, this kind of special auction can't just auction one thing. Most of the other lots are related to the main lot in the town. Salty Pond Auction House is constantly being contacted. I hope to entrust my collection of European medieval antiquities to auction.
