Chapter Eighty-Eight: Five Thunder Tokens
She was a little surprised, and said you know me? I said I saw it once. Purple clothes are really rare, so I'm impressed.
Seeing that I could stop her at once, I knew that she must be a master, so she had no intention of running away. After glancing back at the road, he stared at me and said, "Can I trust you?" ”
I'm inexplicable, what don't you believe? Could it be that in this prairie, do you still want to make a promise? I have a wife, not a casual person. Under the starlight, looking at the beautiful face of the woman in purple and the towering twin peaks, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Let's talk about it!" I also stared at her big eyes to see if she was lying.
"My uncle is going to be unfavorable to you, and he will do it after the auction is over. I'm here to warn you. She raised her hand and tossed a thumb-sized white porcelain vase.
"This is the antidote!" I didn't answer, and dodged a few steps. Joke! The Nakshatra faction mainly uses poison, and there is poison all over the body, and the use of poison is unexpected.
Seeing the porcelain vase fall to the grass, her face turned red, and she scolded for not knowing the hearts of good people, and ran past me to the depths of the grass.
As I watched her go away, I took out a pack of tissues from my pocket, pulled out one, and wrapped the small porcelain vase. It's wrapped in paper, so it shouldn't be poisoned, right?
Back in the tent, put the vase on the table, and continue to close your eyes.
It was still so lively outside until late at night. It's June, and the days are blazing hot, so there's not much to walk around outside, so take advantage of the shade at night and try to stroll around.
The annual auction is actually a good opportunity for many casual cultivators and small sects to buy goods. It is also an opportunity for the main sect to replenish their inventory or find treasures.
Chongzhen Palace's economy is tight now, so it won't buy magic weapons on a large scale. When Master Jiang Ming's talismans are sold, it is estimated that he will buy a lot of necessities if he has money on hand.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and Jiang Ming and the fat man came back. The fat man was overjoyed, and his face was flushed. I asked how it was? The fat man said that the head of Bu Yunxuan had seen it, and he had also found a few old monsters to see it, and it was indeed a prehistoric spirit beast fetus.
The old monster refers to the worship of Bu Yunxuan.
The spirit animal fetus existed in Qinghai jade, and was dug out by absenteeism, and the spirit fetus inside was awakened in the process of cutting, polishing, and polishing.
The most important thing is to make it old, like soaking sulfuric acid! It's sunburned! Create tiny gaps in the seal, allowing the spirit fetus to wake up completely.
However, weak beings have no ability to come out, so they can only sleep in it and wait for the opportunity.
Now no one is sure what kind of spirit beast it is, so it has become a selling point. It's the unknown that makes people crazy. The seal has been photographed, and the album is being made, and it is estimated that the publicity will be done from tomorrow.
I nodded, and told them about my encounter with the woman in purple. The fat man was closest to the porcelain bottle, and when he heard it, he bounced it open, stared at the porcelain bottle and said that this was poison?
Jiang Ming reached out and took it, straightened his hands, gently pulled the cork, and then slowly approached his nose to smell it. When he tightened the cork, he said that it was fine, it was not poison, and that it smelled cool and sober.
Since it is not a poison, it is an antidote. We were reminded that of course we had to take precautions. Jiang Ming called Zhang Zhidong in, made some arrangements, and then rested separately.
At dawn, I smelled the aroma of stir-frying, and I was awakened by the fumes. There is no way to do it in poor condition. After waking up, I went out for a walk, and there were still a few people walking around in the morning. However, the owner of the night market is still resting, so there are not many transactions.
After breakfast, it was even more lively outside, and when I got to the road, oh my God! The stalls formed by various sects are set up one kilometer long, how many sects and how many people have come?
The fat man pulled me to see the excitement. In fact, not only us, many people love to watch the excitement and novelty! A pickup truck came in front of it, and several people were walking and taking billboards from the car.
When I got closer, it turned out to be a fat man's seal advertisement. The advertising slogan is exaggerated, as if there is nothing good in the world except for the seal. Among the onlookers was the owner who sold the seals, and he said that this is not the seal I sold yesterday?
When everyone heard this, they immediately pulled him back to the stall, and the seal of his stall was snapped up and emptied. There was so much money that the boss couldn't count it, and the boss immediately closed the stall and left, this is a shrewd businessman.
The billboard that was put out caused many onlookers to watch and talk about it. At noon, the sun was shining, and everyone hid under the tent to enjoy the shade and blow the fan.
For several days, every night was lively, and Jiang Ming's stall also sold a lot of scriptures and talismans.
Finally, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, and the auction officially began. Only two people from each sect can enter, and Jiang Ming took Zhang Zhidong with him. The fat man is also a special guest, and he brought me.
After inspecting the invitation at the door, I entered the auction house. The organizer is really wealthy, and the auction hall is well designed.
We found our seats and waited for the auction to begin. The fat man said Daheng, whatever you like, just hold up my brand, my brand is worth five million.
The fat man is a special guest, and his prehistoric spirit beast fetal seal starts at one million, and if no one shoots it, Bu Yunxuan will buy him for five million. So the organizers recharged him with five million.
He glanced at Jiang Ming next to him and said, When you get five million, you and Jiang Ming will each have one million, and I will take the remaining three million back to develop the Immortal Lake View.
I said a million is too much, right? Or do you want to keep it? I don't need money. The fat man was in a hurry, and said that he would hang Jiang Ming's car from the back of the car, and one million was to thank him for the opportunity.
Pull you to see the seals, so many seals you can see that this is good. Do you remember what you told me at the time? I shook my head. You said that I bought this seal to ensure that I would be promoted and make a fortune. I laughed when I heard it.
Now the official has not been promoted, but the wealth has been made. The fat man said excitedly.
So you must collect that one million! I said okay! Thanks! You hit my ** card, so that the brown sugar girl is also happy! The fat man tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a thumbs up.
He said to Jiang Ming next to him, you have a million number plates! If you and Daheng fancy something, you will take a picture with my number plate. Jiang Ming smiled and nodded, but did not speak, he was not the master who was short of money.
The auction began, and the master of ceremonies took the microphone and introduced the auction items in a foaming mouth. Then it was said that the prehistoric spirit animal fetus would be auctioned off at the end of the third day.
I have no interest in the antiques that are now auctioned, such as snuff bottles, ivory pen holders, all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of scripture secrets. Listen and doze off. Just as I was leaning on the fat man's shoulder and drooling, the fat man shook me awake.
I said the end of the show? Walk! Let's go eat! When I was dreaming, I was gnawing on the pig's leg and making a puddle of saliva on the fat man's shoulder. Just as I stood up and wanted to leave, the fat man pulled me down and said that I was auctioning the magic weapon now, and I would see if there was anything you liked.
Ritual weapons? I focused my attention on the projection on the stage. There are many Dharma instruments in the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and there are also various Dharma instruments used in the side doors and left roads on the rivers and lakes.
The Taoist magic weapons are all-encompassing, and the Taoist school attaches great importance to the magic weapons, which can be self-casting, and all kinds of magic weapons have the purpose of removing evil and killing evil. For example, the utensils needed for the altar of Zhaijiao, the peach wood sword, the three clear bells, the order flag, the token, etc.
The production process of magic weapons not only needs the support of witchcraft, but also the ornaments have many spiritual birds, beasts and stars, etc., which increase their spiritual power, so in the ritual of Taoist demon purification, all these things have become magic weapons to restrain evil ghosts.
There are many Taoist ritual utensils that are dazzling, such as wat, ruyi, law seal, nectar bowl, town altar wood, ghost torture stick, magic ruler, canopy ruler, law rope, master knife, lightning strike wood, as well as swords, treasure mirrors, seals, etc.
My Mandarin Duck Qilin Seal is a kind of magic weapon, which is used to seal the aura of the talisman. The seal itself can also seal demons and monsters, but unfortunately I don't know how to use it.
Jiang Ming's Kunpeng talisman is the pair of bronze birds that can emit green light and turn into big birds, and it is also a kind of magic weapon. There is also his Luban bronze ruler, which becomes the size of a door panel when he recites a mantra. His Dongbin Sword is also a magic weapon.
The fat man's four-elephant token, and the box of matches that can turn into a starry sky are all a kind of magic weapon. There is also the snatched three-hit jujube wood sword, which is also an amazing magic weapon.
There are many kinds of lightning strikes, each time it is struck by lightning, it is called one turn, and there are three turns, five turns, seven turns, nine turns, etc. Why are they all singular?
Taoists believe that the singular number is the most auspicious, and Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" says that the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things. Everything is from the beginning, and it's singular.
Why did the ancient emperors call themselves the Ninety-Five Supreme and not the Tenth? Nine is the highest in the yang number, and five is in the middle, so the "Ninth Five" symbolizes the authority of the emperor and is called the "Ninth Five-Year Supreme".
Therefore, in addition to his own cultivation, coupled with the blessing of magic weapons, the combat effectiveness of demon subjugation and demon elimination has been doubled.
The artifacts in the auction are all in demand, but none of them are my favorite. On the contrary, it was Jiang Ming, he had to stock up on some goods for the master, and when he saw a suitable one, he would take a photo, and he would stop if he had enough for one million.
On the first day of the auction, after dinner, he began to wander around, and the fat man stayed at the base camp. Tomorrow is the auction of the Three Mountains Rune, which can be regarded as a play meat. The talismans of the three Daomen of Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and Gesoap Mountain will be auctioned off tomorrow.
Of course, according to the market reaction, the talisman of Longhu Mountain is the most popular. Each of the three gates offers a hundred top-tier talismans for auction. The talisman of Longhu Mountain is 200,000, Maoshan is 100,000, and Gesoap Mountain is 50,000.
This price made Jiang Ming very depressed, and if it was auctioned out at the reserve price, it would be five million. Maoshan is 10 million, and Longhu Mountain is 20 million. It's quite aggrieved to think about it, it's also a hundred top-level talismans, and people's income is so high.
Jiang Ming pulled me to go shopping to relieve my boredom, and now there are stalls for more than a kilometer along the road, and tens of thousands of cultivators are rubbing shoulders one after another. There are so many stalls, and if you read them all, you have to walk until dawn.
So we're just going to hang out. There are the most common magic artifacts in the stall, and the good things are in the auction. But it doesn't mean that there are no treasures, and you have to be discerning. Not everyone has good luck.
Walking into a stall that specialized in selling vintage tokens, I was fascinated by a half-foot-long token. The token seller was an eighty-year-old white-bearded old man, who had the fewest customers at his stall because of his back of his ears and difficulty in communicating.
I saw a woman in purple, she was getting up from the stall, wasn't this the girl from the Constellation faction? Looking at her distant back, I nunu mouth. Jiang Ming said that she gave us the antidote? I said yes.
Now that there was no one in the booth, Jiang Ming and I squatted down. The linoleum cloth is full of tokens of various sizes, all of which have a very old appearance and are full of history. Some are painted with black lacquer and gold, some are painted with cinnabar, some are rectangular, some are round on the top, some are engraved with many characters, and some are carved with human patterns.
I picked up a token and asked the uncle how much is this? Uncle looked at me with cloudy eyes and stretched out a slap. Five thousand? He shook his head. Fifty thousand? He nodded. I dug into my wallet and there were only 30,000 in cash.
Jiang Ming scraped together 20,000 yuan, and I bought the token. The uncle shook and collected the money, and looked at it one by one under the light, afraid that it was fake.
We just stood next to him and waited. Jiang Ming asked me why I spent 50,000 yuan to buy a token? I pinched the token and didn't make a sound, my heart pounding.
This is a peach wood of the five thunder token, looking at the font should be Tang Dynasty. In the middle of the obverse is engraved the traditional 'Five Thunder Command', surrounded by carvings and two lines of Yin inscriptions. Out of a bunch of tokens, this is the only one with the main font imprinted. Engraving on wood, divided into yang carving and yin carving, the yang carved words protrude, and the yin carving is recessed.
On the back is carved a sharp-mouthed thunder god with a hairy face, and the thunder god is also called Lei Zhenzi. He holds a chisel in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand.
When you hold it in your hand, you can feel the slightest hint of thunder coming through. This is the authentic Five Thunder Order, but it lacks a spell, and if there is a spell, it can definitely be used.
By the time the uncle finished counting the money, there were already a lot of people around. If you take 50,000 yuan and count it under the light, it means that there is a large transaction here, so it attracts a lot of people to come and see it. Uncle put the money in his pocket, and I thought he had succeeded by default. As a result, he pulled out a worn-out note from his pocket, clutched it up and handed it to me.
took the note and unfolded it, it was a mantra: "The qi of the mixed yuan, the Ying of the Green Emperor, the increase of the command, the foundation of the dare to beat, the evil and the evil, only my life!" ”
As I read a sentence, the Five Thunder Token in my right hand suddenly glowed with a blinding light. Then there was a loud "boom", and the five thunder tokens in his hand immediately turned into charcoal and shattered, and the entire palm was scorched black.
It was so fast that it didn't give me time to react at all.
