Ling Xuan cleaned up properly and walked out of Lingyun Pavilion first, finding that the three of us were still in place and not moving, and did not forget to turn around and greet us.

"Let's go, what are you doing stupidly, if you don't go, I'll go by myself, there are not many opportunities to see the world, don't regret missing it."

The other three, you look at me, I look at you, and I find that I really can't understand this group of abnormal people, and I don't know what they have in their heads.

Thinking about it, there is indeed nothing to do, Chunting has not come back yet, and the ancient paintings have no clue, it is better to go with Ling Xuan to get close to the weak water and see if there are any unexpected gains.

I thought that Weak Water was also a secret organization that had existed secretly for thousands of years, and I thought that their base camp should be located in an inaccessible place, but I didn't expect Ling Xuan to take us to the city center in a circle, and it was full of people, so it was not lively.

"Ling Xuan, are you going to take us shopping?"

Xue Nan is a woman in the end, if we hadn't pulled it, I'm afraid I would have slipped into the store and bought it a lot.

"What kind of street to take you, I don't want to soak you!"

Ling Xuan glanced at Xue Nan with disdain, and waited until we stopped Xue Nan, who wanted to make a move, and then continued.

"Do you know what it means to be hidden in the city, everyone thinks that this kind of secret organization has to hide secretly if they want to survive, but they do the opposite and place the base camp in this downtown area."

After speaking, Ling Xuan stopped, looking at what he meant, we should have arrived, looked up, and saw that we were standing in front of a shop.

Although it is in the downtown area, the building in front of you is not contaminated with a trace of fireworks, and the whole is full of antique atmosphere, which seems to be incompatible with the surrounding buildings from a distance, and seems to be integrated with the well water.

Such a contradictory look made me curious about this place, and when I looked closely, the large letters on the plaque shone in the sunlight.

Shang Shan Xuan.

"Lao Tzu once said that good is like water, if water, weak water, they are really not afraid that others will guess the relationship between the two."

I couldn't help laughing, and this Shangshanxuan almost told others, come on, this is the nest of weak water, come to me.

"Then who knows, in my opinion, the person in charge here is either an extremely clever ghost, or an extremely stupid idiot."

Ling Xuan also smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently.

It seems that this so-called Shangshan Xuan has a good business, and there are people coming and going at the door, and I can't help but look at Ling Xuan curiously.

"Do you have time to take care of secular industries like yours, who are usually so idle?"

Ling Xuan glanced at me angrily, but still explained helplessly.

"How is it possible, this is the same as the ancient martial arts, there are inner disciples and outer disciples, you have different levels and different things you are exposed to, not everyone has secret arts, this kind of organizational power that has been passed down for thousands of years, how can there be no secular industry, no matter how you are a master outside the world, you will never be able to sleep in the open."

"Places like this are run by ordinary people, which are subordinate departments of the organization, and except for the managers, the employees themselves don't know what this place represents, they only know how to do their own business."

In this way, it makes sense, otherwise when I think about Chun Ting and Ling Xuan, doing business before and after running, I feel that my worldview has been seriously hit.

Ignoring my reverie on the side, Ling Xuan strode into Shangshan Xuan, and went up to the second floor with a familiar car, we followed behind him, looking left and right, looking like we had never seen the world.

The second floor is a hall, it seems that there is some important event, and the people sitting here are all successful people in suits and leather shoes, among which there are many rich people from all walks of life who have seen on TV before, I secretly pulled the corner of Ling Xuan's clothes and asked in a low voice.

"What is the origin of this Shangshanxuan, why are so many rich people here?"

Ling Xuan shrugged his shoulders and explained to me.

"It's also fate, I like antiques, and I'm bored to make a Lingyun Pavilion, this Shangshanxuan can be regarded as a peer, but Lingyun Pavilion is mainly a high-quality product, and what is done here is an auction, which is used to deceive those nouveau riche who don't know the goods."

It dawned on me that it was no wonder that there were so many celebrities and rich people here, and it turned out that the second floor here was an auction.

I found a vacant seat behind Ling Xuan and sat down, and asked him what he was going to do, but he smiled and said nothing, telling me not to ruin people's business, and to make plans after the auction was over.

In fact, I don't like a lot of people, I always feel that there is no freedom to be alone, everywhere is restrained, not to mention that the people sitting next to me are rich people who spend a lot of money like a native fool, to put it bluntly, few people really like antiques, they all want to buy it back to show off their financial resources, or put it in the study to pretend to improve their taste, think about these treasures in their hands, it can really be described as a pearl of the dark, violent things.

"The first auction item, Ming blue and white Wufu Jiulong pen wash, the starting price is 3,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 500 each time."

"The second auction item, a bronze gilt diamond hand statue, has a starting price of 10,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 1,000 each time."

"The third auction item, Song Shoushan stone miniature carving through the cloud dragon pattern seal, the starting price is 20,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 2,000 each time.

......

I sat here for a long time, and it seemed that these lots here were not too good, and they were not as valuable as those randomly placed in the corner of Lingyun Pavilion.

But as of conscience, it's all genuine, and there are no fakes. But although the things are real, they are not too valuable, all of them are inflated objects, looking at the way everyone is competing for the auction, and sure enough, the auction is to bully the nouveau riche who bully people and have a lot of money.

"The ninth auction item, Tang Yan Lide's "Princess Wencheng Descent", has a starting price of 50,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 10,000 yuan each time."

With the words of the auction host, I suddenly woke up, looked at the newly exhibited lots, and muttered to myself.

"I haven't come here in vain, I didn't expect to see Yan Lide's true works here."

Shen Lang sat next to me, as sleepy as me, and he heard me talking to himself and asked me in a daze.

"Brother Chuan, is this virtue very famous?"

I looked at his half-asleep appearance and said angrily.

"A layman, the Zhaoling Tomb where Emperor Taizong was buried was designed by him, do you say he is famous?"

Shen Lang smiled, and he didn't know whether he was simple or ignorant.

"In my opinion, it's all the same, I don't know him, he doesn't know me, you said that he designed the Zhaoling, since it was built as a mausoleum, how can this still paint, it's not a profession."

I patiently explained to Shen Lang why I was so interested in Yan Lide's authentic works.

Yan Lide was an architect and painter in the Tang Dynasty, and during the period from Wude to Zhenguan, he was ordered to build the Gaozu Mountain Mausoleum, supervise the construction of the two palaces of Cuiwei Yuhua, build the Zhaoling Tomb, and finally worship the Ministry of Works. This person has made achievements in craftsmanship and painting, and has presided over the design of the costumes used by the emperor and queen, and his paintings are known for figures, trees and stones, and birds and beasts. ”

"According to you, he should be very famous, why haven't I heard of him?"

Xue Nan heard the conversation between me and Shen Lang and asked curiously.

"Because he has a younger brother who is too famous, all his limelight is covered up by his younger brother, and his reputation is not obvious."

I paused, and said the second half of what I had been thinking about for a long time.

"He's a well-known brother, and he has a lot to do with us."
