Chapter 64: Spirit Treasure Auction
"Lingbao Auction, can you explain it in detail?" Ge Wei asked with some interest. As the name suggests, this Lingbao auction must be an auction of Lingbao. There should be a lot of monks gathering. He didn't mind participating, it was a good opportunity to learn more about the Earth Cultivation Realm. His current understanding of the Earth Cultivation Realm only stays at the side of Chen Ruofeng and others.
"Senior Rong Yu. This Lingbao auction is actually also called a treasure appreciation meeting. It has a history of two or three hundred years. Chen Ruofeng personally explained to Ge Wei. Although Chen Ruofeng didn't know why his junior brother brought up this matter, he knew that his junior brother had always been clever, so he must have had some ideas.
Under Chen Ruofeng's introduction, Ge Wei learned that this so-called Lingbao auction was indeed an auction held by monks. And it's not small.
It is said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not yet entered the customs, and the Chinese cultivation realm was a thriving scene, with many monks and strong people. At that time, led by the Lingbao faction, led by Wudang, Emei and other righteous sects, they jointly held the first treasure appreciation meeting in history.
At that treasure appraisal conference, each sect took out their own treasures at the bottom of the box, and in the attention of the entire Huaxia cultivation world, while tasting spiritual tea, while appreciating spiritual treasures, while discussing the avenue. It's a great event. It had a positive impact on the development of the Xiuzhen realm at that time.
However, the good times did not last long, as the iron cavalry of the Manchu Tartars broke through the Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui surrendered, the Ming Dynasty perished, and the prosperous era of the cultivators also came to an end. Without the support of the Ming authorities, the "secularization of Taoism" ceased to exist. Taoism, which had been the state religion of China since the Tang Dynasty, also rapidly declined with the barbaric rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It can be said that the foundation is shaking.
When there are fewer believers, there are fewer practitioners. Most of the monks are only good at cultivation and not good at preaching. With the inheritance from generation to generation, the people in the cultivation realm are getting thinner and thinner. In the past, although the treasure appreciation event still existed with the support of the Lingbao faction, the frequency of holding it also dropped to once every three years. Fewer and fewer monks participated, and the quality of the activities was much less than before.
Later, the treasure appraisal meeting was reduced from once every three years to a small session every three years and a large session every nine years. To put it bluntly, it's once every nine years.
Now it happens to be once every nine years, and this treasure appraisal will be held in a few days. Deng Chao thought of this incident, and he connected with each other as soon as he had an idea, trying to use this as an excuse to create an opportunity for them to get along with Ge Wei. Since you want to play the favor card, it is an essential process to get along and form a favor.
"Lingbao auction, this is a name that has only been changed in recent years. Chen Ruofeng smiled helplessly and explained: "In the past, the treasure appreciation meeting was just a tasting and discussion. Later, in order to attract more monks to participate in the conference, the Lingbao faction advocated adding one more content to the treasure appreciation meeting, so that the monks could exchange treasures with each other and take what they needed. For a while, it was indeed sought after a lot. Later, it simply became a trade meeting among monks. The treasure appraisal of the past years has been passed down. ”
Deng Chao nodded seriously in agreement and said: "In modern times, with the development of modern culture and the in-depth influence of Western culture, the treasure appraisal meeting has been completely transformed into a Western-style auction. A small session is held every three years and a large session is held every nine years. In this Lingbao auction, it is said that the organizer of the Lingbao faction plans to take out a medium-grade magic weapon for auction. This news has attracted the attention of many colleagues. The younger generation estimates that this year's auction should be very interesting. Senior, why don't you take a look?"
"It's really interesting. Ge Wei nodded and laughed. Listening to what the two of them said, Ge Wei had some admiration for that Lingbao faction. If they hadn't tried their best to maintain it, I am afraid that the grand events of the past would have disappeared into the long river of history like a passing cloud. That would be another big regret.
Chen Ruofeng suddenly raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he finally realized how clever the little junior brother's hand was. Several other people also understood Deng Chao's intentions one after another, and couldn't help but secretly give Deng Chao a thumbs up in their hearts.
"It just so happens that I want to see and shoot a few things. You might as well go to the Lingbao auction to have a look. Ge Wei said with a smile. Of course, he knew that this was an excuse for the Kongtong faction to try to get close to him. Ge Wei has a good impression of these five people. It's really hard for them to come up with so many tricks, just to win them over. If they were to know their true thoughts and their amazing plans, I wonder how Chen Ruofeng and the others would feel?
"This is very good! The seniors are interested, and the juniors and others should accompany them to the end. Chen Ruofeng didn't expect Ge Wei to agree so easily, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Ge Wei respectfully: "It's just that at present, the juniors are carrying the heavy treasures given by their predecessors, and they don't dare to delay, and the juniors will cooperate with the sixth junior brother and the eighth junior brother to escort the treasure back to the mountain." The second junior brother Zhao Jingyi and the junior brother Deng Chao stayed here, accompanied the seniors throughout the whole process, and asked the seniors to forgive me!"
"It's okay, you don't have to stay with me. Ge Wei waved his hand generously and said.
"How can this be done, senior, let's do our landlord's friendship!" Deng Chao saw that this senior seemed to have a good temper, and said with a smile.
"Then decide for yourselves. Ge Wei said, asked Deng Chao about the date of the auction, and planned to leave: "I still have some personal matters to deal with." In three days, I'll be back here on time, and you can take me to the auction then. ”
"Obey the orders of your predecessors!" the five said in unison.
Leaving this club, Ge Wei took the ten-pound best red robe that Director Zheng gave him when he was leaving, and returned to the rental house where he lived. It is estimated that no one would have thought that now that he is rich and has cultivated a profound Jindan "master", he will live in such a small place with a dirty and messy environment.
Ge Wei never planned to change his residence, and he didn't need it. Usually he is either engaged in breeding in a large warehouse, or running around, and even lives in the Shushan plane. Assets are carried with you, and the home is the least to be treated.
No, as soon as he went in and took a turn, Ge Wei ran out again, took a taxi and went straight to the most prosperous commercial street in the city center. It took more than two hours for Ge Wei to buy dozens of bottles of imported women's perfumes of various flavors at several specialty stores, spending more than 100,000 yuan. Then I went to the national liquor store and bought a box of the most expensive Feitian Moutai.
These things were all stuffed into the ring by Ge Wei, and there were dozens of packages of chicken feed inside, which stuffed the ring with a capacity of only ten cubic meters into the white space.
The perfume is for Zixia Fairy, and Yu'er and Green Moon. Moutai is naturally reserved for wine people. Ge Wei planned to use these bribes to bribe the two of them next time he returned to the Shu Mountain Plane and let them take him to Spirit Beast Island.
Three days passed, and Ge Wei came to the club on time. Deng Chao and Zhao Jing have also been waiting for a long time.
