Forty-three days after the auction.

Zhang Yaoming has been quite distressed these days.

The root of everything lies in Luo Jue, the elder of Wuluobao. He came to the auction hall half a month ago with a few disciples of the foundation building period, claiming to be ordered by the lord of the castle to guard this place, waiting to catch the person who redeemed the Biyun Sword. Although his right arm has been conjured up, it is no different from ordinary people, but Zhang Yaoming still recognized at a glance that this is the one-armed monk who made trouble for Liu De on the day of the auction.

Luo Jue still had that arrogant look, Old Man Zhang, Old Man Zhang called himself shortly, and he didn't take himself as a monk in the middle of the Yudan in his eyes at all. Although Zhang Yaoming was very angry, the auction house said in advance that he must not offend the people of Wu Luobao. Even the entire Kaiyuan City is attached to Wuluobao, and the city lord has also filed a case in Wuluobao, how dare a small auction house casually offend the head snake.

Luo Jue's living room has been in the guest room of the auction house, in the first few days, he was quite vigilant, every day with full consciousness to monitor all the whereabouts of the auction house at any time, but he was tired in less than a month, and he was no longer so engrossed, and took turns assigning disciples in the foundation building period to monitor in the main hall of the auction hall every day, and he himself entered the cultivation.

In the evening, an elderly monk with a strong spirit and a sword-eyed eyebrow walked into the main hall of the auction hall.

A Qi refining stage guy from the auction hall trotted over, clenched his fists and bowed and asked, "This senior, there will be no auction tonight, and the next auction will be in half a month." We'll close right now, so if there's anything going up for auction, please come back early tomorrow morning. ”

The old monk didn't return the salute, nodded lightly and said, "I'm not here to do business today, I'm just here to find an old friend, Mr. Zhang Yaoming is here?"

When the young man in the Qi refining period heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, here, you go to the living room to sit for a while, and I will invite you over." After leading him to sit in the living room, he turned around to find Zhang Yaoming.

After a short time, Zhang Yaoming strode into the living room. When he raised his eyes and saw the person sitting in the hall, he was shocked, and was about to clench his fists to inquire, but the man stood up and preemptively arched his hand and said: "Yaoming Daoyou, don't come to harm? Gu Mou came uninvited today, and looked at Daoist Haihan." ”

Zhang Yaoming was stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something, and hurriedly replied: "Brother Gu, I have been away for decades back then, and I don't have the opportunity to go to the house to talk about it, and I have to come to the house in person, I am ashamed and ashamed." ”

"Yaoming Dao's friends are serious. Gu passed by Kaiyuan City today and wanted to find an old friend to sit down, do you think you can spare some time?" said the man with a sweep of his eyes.

Zhang Yaoming had already understood the meaning of the visitor, and replied: "The ancient brother can't ask for it, can we go to the nearby cyclamen teahouse to sit?"

"Okay, let's go to the teahouse. After that, he followed Zhang Yaoming out of the auction hall.

Wu Luobao's Zhuji disciples, who were waiting in the main hall, saw the two of them walk out of the living room and walked straight to the outside of the store, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Zhang, where are you going?" Did you tell Elder Luo?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yaoming to reply, it was a slap in the face when someone came up, and the kid flew out three feet away from the front and back of his head, "Are there any rules? A scumbag like an ant dares to ask the Jiedan monk so boldly, even those few unsuccessful Jiedan nephews in my family dare not be so presumptuous, if it weren't for me today, if I see that you are the descendant of Yaoming Daoyou, I will definitely ask you to turn into reincarnation!"

The Zhuji disciple covered half of his inhuman-looking face that had been beaten, and muttered, "Senior, I was wrong, I just want to ask Elder Zhang where he is, so that I can go and talk about it." ”

Zhang Yaoming hurriedly came over to play the round, "Brother Gu, misunderstanding, Elder Luo is from Wu Luobao," he deliberately bit the three words "Wu Luobao" loudly, "I am a guest in the auction hall, I should really sue him when I leave, mainly because I was happy to see you for a while, and I forgot about it." Xiao Mu, you just talk to Elder Luo, and say that I have a friend, and I will come back to talk about the old days, so that he doesn't have to worry about it. With that, the two walked to the teahouse.

The Zhuji disciple surnamed Mu didn't dare to stop him, and quickly ran back to the guest room to inform Luo Jue.

Luo Jue was stunned when he heard this, "Old man Zhang calls him Brother Gu, and there are a few nephews in his family, so it shouldn't be the people in the Four Elephants Temple who come to redeem the sword." Isn't it a member of Cheng Guo's ancient family, but I don't know what to do here?"

The second floor of the Cyclamen Tea House.

Zhang Yaoming and the two sat down and asked for a pot of good Baosheng tea. Zhang Yaoming poured a cup of tea for the person who came, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuangu, there are no idle people waiting here, if you have something to say, you are here to redeem the sword?"

The person who came was Yuan Guzi, and he also smiled and said, "Yaoming Daoyou is really a smart person. ”

"Your methods are also clever, and you covered up your identity with a slap, so Luo Jue must be guessing whether you are from the Gu family now, hehehe. ”

"Then how did you guess that I was here to redeem the sword?"

"This sword is extraordinary, it must not be a casual cultivator or other small family, The monks of the small sect can use it; the monk who mortgaged this sword that day was originally a cultivator, but he turned into a monk in the foundation building period, and he must not want the monks here to know his true identity; Liu De did not know him, and Luo Jue not only recognized but also seemed to have old grudges, that person must not be a person from Wu Luobao; it is said that Liu De was killed by that monk, and he was not a very important disciple in Wu Luobao, and it was not a big deal to die in Kaiyuan City, it was enough for Liu Changfeng to come forward, but Wu Luobao sent a lot of force to inquire about this matter, which shows how much attention the sect attaches to this matter。 All of this boils down to one answer, then this matter must involve grievances and entanglements between the major sects, so I guess that the person who mortgages this sword is either the Four Elephants or the Elder Jiedan of the Extreme Sea Sect. And today, as soon as you enter the door, you pretend that your surname is Gu, what if you don't want to hide it? ”

"It is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, and the analysis is reasonable. Yes, it was my junior brother Yuan Miao who mortgaged the sword that day, and he was injured by Luo Jue on the way back, and now he is recuperating in the Four Elephants Temple, entrusting me to redeem the sword. ”

"I'm afraid this thing is not so easy to do, you have also seen it, now Wu Luobao is staring very closely, even I have to go out to be interrogated, the fanfare of the redemption sword will inevitably alarm Luo Jue, although he is just a monk in the early stage of the Dan, but you don't know that he has already arranged for someone to lay a formation in the auction hall, as long as it is launched, it will besiege the people in the formation, so I am afraid that the sword has not been obtained, and he will launch a formation to besiege it, and at this time Wu Luobao will send more monks, and it will only be captured. So I think that if you want to redeem the sword, you have to use other methods. ”

"I've expected this, so I have a plan, do you think it will work?"

"I want to hear about it. ”

"I have a sword in my collection, the appearance is the same as this sword, but the materials used are far from the same, it can barely be regarded as a low-grade magic weapon, unless the swordsmith carefully examines it, it is difficult to detect the difference between the two, I want to replace it, do you see it?" After speaking, Yuan Guzi took out a long sword from the storage bag and handed it to Zhang Yaoming.

"Canglang", Zhang Yaoming pulled out his sword, "Well, it's really a good sword, and it's really the same as that sword." Let me think about it. He bowed his head and thought to himself.

Yuan Guzi also stopped talking and took care of his own tea.

"It's not very easy to do, if you want to go to the treasury to replace the sword, you must go through the treasury management, even if you give him some benefits to suppress this matter, but when the half-year period comes, if no one redeems the sword, this sword must be disposed of, or taken to auction, or taken by the people inside the auction house, if it is revealed that the grade of this sword is inconsistent with the previous one, I can't get rid of it when asked, and I can't explain it to the owner." Zhang Yaoming shook his head and said.

"Oh, so strict?" said Yuan Guzi.

"Exactly, the good reputation of the Kaiyuan City Auction House for so many years is constrained by strict regulations. Zhang Yaoming said.

"Then do it, after replacing this sword, I still have to fulfill the redemption procedures that should be performed, and I will give you one hundred and sixty medium-grade spirit stones, which will be counted as the price of redemption in half a year. Half a year later, when you dispose of the sword, it is best if no one finds it, and if it is discovered, you tell the owner that you know that the owner of the sword is very high, and even the auction house cannot afford to offend, so you take it upon yourself to let the other party quietly ransom it with a heavy amount of money, in order not to break the rules of the auction house, but also to hide Wu Luobao, who cannot afford to offend. By the way, even an imitation sword is worth at least sixty or seventy medium-grade spirit stones. Yuan Guzi said the method he had already thought of.

"Well, this method is not bad, in fact, I also told the owner that allowing Wu Luobao to enter the auction house to monitor the people who buy the goods itself has broken our rules, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to trade here in the future. The proprietor was really afraid of Wu Luobao's power, and although he was reluctant, he had to do so. Today's method is really wonderful, Wu Luobao is not interested in the sword but the person who redeems the sword, no one redeems the sword and will not blame us, the owner hopes that Wu Luobao will not offend Wu Luobao, and not break the rules, you only like the sword, what I ask is that I have no responsibility, so it can be said that it kills four birds with one stone, and it will definitely work. ”

Zhang Yaoming nodded in agreement. In his heart, he had another plan: if no one found out, then one hundred and sixty medium-grade spirit stones would naturally belong to him; if anyone found out, although the spirit stones needed to be handed over, the imitation sword worth sixty or seventy medium-grade spirit stones could also be withdrawn in his hands.

He put away the fake Biyun Sword and said, "Then let's do it, without further ado, let's pick it up at the west gate of Kaiyuan City tonight." ”

Yuan Guzi nodded, "Then I'll see you outside the West Gate." ”

The two of them chatted a few more words and left.
