Chapter Eighty-Six: Bu Yunxuan's Auction
After a while, a group of Taoist priests came over in a noisy, all raised their heads to greet Jiang Ming, and kept calling senior brother hello.
Except for the person who delivered the meal, these junior brothers and sisters hadn't seen Jiang Ming for a few months. From the mouth of the senior sister, I knew that the senior brother was going to go out of the customs, and I was called over to move, and I was so happy in my heart! Everyone is happy, just like the New Year.
Seeing them hurriedly moving things, Jiang Ming said let's go! It's time for us to clean up, too! Then we took out the Kunpeng talisman, and we went to the camphor tree in the bronze bird, and bought summer clothes and leather shoes on the street. I opened two rooms, took a hot bath, and filled a bathtub with water.
Soaking in the bathtub is so comfortable, and the hot water has forced out the cold of the body for several months. Changing into well-fitting clothes, we found a place to get a haircut. I got a short haircut, shaved my beard clean, and I looked more energetic.
Jiang Ming asked the family to trim his beard, and now he has to grow a mustache. After I finished my haircut and washed my hair, I sat next to me and watched the barber fix his beard. His face is relatively thin, and he looks more manly after trimming his beard.
The barber gave him a long haircut, repaired the split ends, and put it in a beautiful bun. If he wears a Taoist uniform, Jiang Ming looks like a middle-aged Taoist leader, handsome, steady and introverted. And he was actually only twenty-eight or nineteen years old.
Coming out of the barbershop, Jiang Ming looked energetic, and he said let's go to the office to have a look. I hadn't been to that office for a long time, but I didn't expect him to continue to do it.
The office has been redecorated and looks much more upscale, and the signboard at the door has been replaced with the most high-end blister words, and the words can still emit bright light at night. The doorway is also filled with thick glass.
The interior is decorated with all mahogany, which is more noble and elegant. In the center hangs the portraits of the three great masters, all of which are framed with mahogany, and the mahogany head table in front is placed with an incense burner. As soon as we entered the door, the little junior disciples inside were all bright-eyed and came over to say hello.
Usually, Jiang Ming doesn't have time to come over here to take care of it, so he gives it to the junior brother named Zhang Zhidong. This junior brother took a group of senior brothers to receive incense money here. And he didn't embarrass Chongzhen Palace, he took all the big and small things. The small things are handled by the juniors and disciples, and the big things are brought forward by the masters.
Zhang Zhidong invited us to sit in the sofa area and then made us tea. Sandalwood was lit under the table, and the whole room was filled with a fragrance. We chatted about family life while drinking tea, and Jiang Ming asked about some business matters.
Now no one dares to come over to make trouble, and the power of the office has been stabilized. According to Jiang Ming's idea, recruit a group of juniors and disciples every year, and then expand an office to the surrounding counties and cities. In this way, Chongzhen Palace will have money to develop.
Now another junior is recruiting students in Guiyang. Most of the people in the previous realm came to Chongzhen Palace, which in itself is a living advertisement. So there's no need for Jiang Ming to show off his skills.
Seeing that Zhang Zhidong was well cared for, we went back to Chongzhen Palace. Zhang Zhidong sent a car to send us back, and now Chongzhen Palace also has a few business cars.
When I returned to the palace, Jiang Ming went to see his master, and I stayed to chat with a group of junior brothers. There was a little junior brother who coaxed me and asked me to guide me. In fact, I am also self-taught, and I don't have any rules at all, so I don't dare to say anything about the guide.
I asked them to read more scriptures, and said that most of my cultivation was realized from the scriptures. Then let's use the wall piercing technique as an example. However, my wall-piercing technique was only broken through with the blessing of the machine spirit, and it was not suitable for ordinary cultivators.
Thinking about the four years since I stepped into the rivers and lakes, it's really time flies! Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now I am surrounded by a group of young people calling me senior brother.
Thinking back to the time when we were chased and beaten by Mr. Qiu's people, we grew up. Now we are also the number one person on the rivers and lakes.
Jiang Ming came out and said blow the whistle! Call Fatty! I asked why? The fat deputy director of the family has done a good job, and now he is holding the beauty again, and he is beautiful in the gentle nest. When the disciples heard this, they burst into laughter.
That's just the way it is! Now I don't even want to play with fat people. Jiang Ming said that his master planned to produce a batch of talismans, all of which he wrote by himself.
The Pavilion Soap Sect is known as one of the three mountains of Fu Zong, and Fu Zheng is naturally very powerful, although its fame is not as big as that of Longhu Mountain and Mao Mountain. But the talisman was not lost at all, so Jiang Ming and his master's talisman could still be proud of the rivers and lakes.
I turned on my phone, and more than a dozen text messages came in at once, and I forgot to turn it on for the past month. Seeing that there was still half of the battery, I called home.
Brown Sugar Girl said that there was nothing wrong, but she hadn't heard from me for a few months, and wanted to know where I was. I said on Jiang Ming's side! Pavilion Soap Sect! Then chatted a few words, asked about the family's situation, and hung up.
Calling Ling Yunzi again, she said that she had a small task some time ago, and she could do it alone, and if she couldn't find me, she called the fat man. Now the fat man is back from his errands.
In addition to some spam text messages, there were also phone calls from fat people a few times. I called the fat man and he said he was in a meeting and went out to answer it.
After exchanging information with the fat man, he said that Jiang Ming invited him to come over and set up a stall. The juniors and disciples next to him laughed, it was a big deal for Chongzhen Palace, and it was a small matter in our mouths. The fat man said okay, well, he was suffocated at home during this time.
The fat man and Xiaoxia got married, and they had a grand wedding, and Jiang Ming and I didn't catch up. Now Xiaoxia is pregnant at home, bringing him food every day, and making him fat again.
I said that Jiang Ming's master had a batch of talismans to shoot. Bu Yunxuan in the capital held an auction, and we are going to participate. The fat man said Bu Yunxuan? Selling old cloth shoes? I said no, it's another one.
This Bu Yunxuan is a family of cultivators, in addition to cultivation, mainly engaged in the auction of magic artifacts and antiques, which is organized once a year. His family's magic weapons are also quite prestigious in the industry, but most of the business is in the north, so few southerners know about it.
The fat man promised to come in a few days, and then hung up the phone. After confirming that the fat man would come, Jiang Ming ordered the general. He ordered eight junior brothers and two junior sisters, and then informed Zhang Zhidong to invite the best tailor of Zhangshu to come over.
Jiang Ming said that he wanted to make two sets of well-fitting Taoist clothes for each person, and they wanted a luxury version. The juniors and disciples are very happy, who doesn't like to wear this beautiful uniform! Wearing it can have a powerful aura, and the Dao heart is more stable.
The tailor came over, measured the size of more than a dozen people, and then rushed to make it with the best fabric according to Jiang Ming's requirements.
Three days later, the fat man came, and he tried on his new uniform, which just fitted. The fat man looked at me and Jiang Ming and said, "What's the matter with you two?" I can't get in touch with the phone, you're so tanned, you won't go to Africa, right?
For not being able to attend the fat man's wedding, we were actually very guilty, and when the fat man mentioned it, we quickly surrendered. said that when the fat man and your son are born, we will definitely go to the full moon wine, and give a big gift. The fat man was happy.
The fat man knew that the two of us had been in retreat for three months, and our cultivation had been qualitatively improved, and he was also very happy for us. said that he went to work every day, and his cultivation did not improve at all, so he did not resign from the deputy director.
Jiang Ming stopped him and said don't think like this, he has changed jobs now, and if he doesn't work in the Investigation Bureau, it will not be good for Xianhuguan. And Jiang Ming and I are still on temporary positions with the military.
The auction held by Buyunxuan was held during the Dragon Boat Festival, and we passed it a week early. Flying from Nanchang to the capital first, Jiang Ming had already contacted Ling Yunzi and asked her to charter a bus and then purchase the corresponding items.
On the same day, we flew to the capital, got on the bus directly, and then pulled us to Zhangbei County in Zhangjiakou. It is next to the Bashang area on the southern edge of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, bordered by the steppe to the north and the Gobi Desert to the south.
Why did Bu Yunxuan choose such a place? Because it is a magic weapon business, these cannot be accessed by ordinary people. The people invited here are all cultivators or families, and some of them are casual cultivators.
Like me, it's a casual cultivator, but I'm not qualified to receive an invitation, so I took a ride from Chongzhen Palace. We don't have any fame in the rivers and lakes, and Jiang Ming's Chongzhen Palace people still know a little.
Like us, who have one leg in the military and one leg in the rivers and lakes, everyone is called a scholar, and they are not real Jianghu people. Only the cultivation sects, families, and scattered cultivators are pure Jianghu people.
When the car arrived at the place, there were only people from the organizer and the sponsor, and the invited sects had not yet arrived. Because it is a wild field, the conditions are very poor, there is no water and no electricity, and the auction for three consecutive days requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
And Jiang Ming thought of all this. The brothers and sisters took out five tents in the luggage compartment of the bus, as well as simple tables and chairs, and put them in one go. There are two tents along the road, which are considered facades, and the back three tents are accommodation.
Jiang Ming, as the representative of Chongzhen Palace, took the fat man to the organizer and the sponsor to climb the relationship. Zhang Zhidong took all the juniors and disciples to sort out their belongings. I directed the bus to the upwind and sideways to block the wind.
In this way, the Chongzhen Palace of Gesoshan is regarded as the first sect to arrive, and it occupies a good place. As a security guard for the venue, I walked around a bit and observed the terrain.
The organizer set up a temporary site several acres in size, with a temporary tent in the back, surrounded by the organizer's security. We are not far from the organizers, because in addition to the auction, there will be a bazaar at the door, which can be bought and sold freely.
I found a place to sit down and watched Zhang Zhidong and they were busy. Banners were pulled on the two tents in front of them, which read Jiangxi Pavilion Sooshan Chongzhen Palace, which was a means of propaganda.
The two kun dao were in charge of logistics and cooked in one of the tents. Drinking water and all kinds of food were prepared, and even the generator was bought a new one. This time, Jiang Ming's investment was also quite large for publicity. Not only is there a large number of personnel, but the shelves are large, and the aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation are very well considered.
There are no towns on the edge of the grassland, there is no water and no electricity, and behind the bus is a large grassland. Checked in that night, it still seemed relatively deserted, and there was no one around.
The next day, gates were sent one after another, and tents were also set up along the roadside. There are many people sent to the gate, so they will come in advance, and this is the annual magic weapon auction. The main sect will take out the surplus magic weapons for sale, and the small sects and scattered cultivators will take what they need.
As the first sect to come over, Chongzhen Palace still attracted the attention of others, and there were other sects that wanted us to move places.
A cultivator sect from the northwest glanced up at the signboard of Chongzhen Palace and asked who was in charge. The fat man ran over and overboarded, but they asked us to move, saying he had a crush on the place.
Outside the auction, who comes first to occupy it, how can there be any talk of moving places? After a while, Zhang Zhidong quarreled with the man.
Jiang Ming, who was smoking inside, heard the noise outside, so he walked out and asked me what was going on. I said that a sect that had just arrived wanted to occupy the place and drive us away.
He walked over and exuded a great aura. The man was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, Jiang Ming stared at the man for a while and said, "If you have any opinions, find the organizer!" If the organizer can't solve it, we'll solve it privately! ”
