Volume 1 Confucianism Enters the Mortal Dust Chapter 49 The Comer
One look at the plum blossoms competing for beauty;
Second, look at the plum blossoms proudly;
Three look at plum blossoms to relieve sorrow.
Li Dong looked at the note in the food and was very surprised.
These three lines of poetry were written by him in an auction house in the kingdom of Li, but how could they be here now?
He has never had any contact with the people of the temple, and since he apprenticed to Chuyun, he has always been mainly cultivating and rarely going out.
The only few times I went to the largest trading market in the kingdom to exchange some of the essentials.
Now that he is trapped in the cage of the temple, he can't help but have some doubts when he sees the poems written in the auction house in the past.
But that's about it.
The disciples who brought the food were still as usual, and after a while and a half, they put down the sling again and came to pick up the lunch box.
The next day, Li Donglai received a note mixed with food again.
One look at the plum blossoms without a shadow;
Second, look at the plum blossom shadow lonely;
Three look at the lonely shadow of plum blossoms.
This made Li Donglai can't help but think of the past again.
Although the temple is the strongest immortal cultivation court in the kingdom, the largest trading place in the entire kingdom is in Youwang Mountain, a place where mortals and immortal cultivators get along.
That year, the snow season had just receded, the flowers had not bloomed, and the young leaves had just stretched, so Li Donglai went down the mountain gate to Youwang Mountain.
This season is when there are few people in Youwang Mountain, and he chose to go at this time, firstly, because he does not like to be lively; The second is that there are fewer cultivators, and many unnecessary troubles can be avoided.
It was the beginning of spring, and many auction houses in Youwang Mountain had just opened, and some cultivators and vendors had gradually stepped into Youwang Mountain.
"This fellow Daoist, there are not only many rare treasures in this auction house, at this time, you are here, the plum blossoms in the backyard of our bank are blooming, you can watch them in your spare time" A slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing a satin brocade suit, saw Li Donglai stay in front of the door, and took the initiative to come forward to greet him.
Li Donglai was curious, so he asked, "I don't know how the shopkeeper knows that I am a cultivator?" ”
He has no vitality in his body, and he is very surprised by the cultivators, ordinary people judge whether they are cultivators based on the fluctuations of the vitality in others, but this person calls himself a Taoist friend, and it is obvious that he sees through his identity at a glance.
"I'm ashamed to say it," the shopkeeper greeted with a smile, "If this little Taoist friend doesn't dislike it, he will go to the inner hall to drink a cup of hot tea."
The two entered the store and sat down, and Jin Wuyong said, "Although the contemptible people are not talented, they have also practiced for a few years, and they know that the method of cultivation is divided into two categories in Kyushu, this type is external cultivation, which is the majority in Kyushu, focusing on vitality, external cultivation of physical fitness, and internal cultivation of strength and weakness; This second category is more remote, and few people practice, and those who practice pay attention to their state of mind for the sake of cultivating their minds. I look at the little Taoist friend in plain clothes and capable, his eyes are pure and flawless, although there is no vitality fluctuation between walking, but there is a great state of fairy wind and bones, so I boldly speculate."
"I see" Li Donglai listened to the shopkeeper's analysis, but nodded in agreement, and at the same time he also had a high opinion of the shopkeeper in his heart.
"Daoist friends don't know if they came to Youwang Mountain to buy or sell?" After the two talked, Jin Wuyong asked.
"Buy and sell" Li Donglai replied four words, and then asked, "I wonder when your bank will start the auction?" ”
"Daoyou rushed early, and now Youwang Mountain has just opened, although it is the earliest one to start the auction in Youwang Mountain, but it will not start the first auction of the year until half a month later, if Daoyou is willing, it is better for me to stay for a few days now."
When Li Donglai heard this, he was a little disappointed, this time he left Xianmen, only saying that he would return in January, and at this moment, the auction only started half a month later, which was really a bit delayed.
"I don't know what treasures you want to auction, can you let me take a look?" Jin Wuyong saw Li Donglai's expression change, so he changed his words.
Li Donglai didn't hide his secrets, he directly took out four or five storage bags from his arms and put them on the table, "The treasures are not counted, they are just some crude and abused runes."
Hearing the word rune, Jin Wuyong's originally stretched out hand paused, and looked at Li Donglai with a somewhat strange expression.
"It's okay, the owner of the gold shop just looks at it," Li Donglai said.
With Li Donglai's permission, this Jin Wuyong was relieved.
Jin Wuyong has been in Youwang Mountain for decades, and has encountered tens of thousands of customers, but it is the first time that a rune master has come in person, this rune is also a rare thing in Youwang Mountain, except for a few largest auction houses that have connections with some small immortal sects and can be sold, other auction houses cannot get involved in rune auction trading at all.
Although he was an experienced Jin Wuyong, he was extremely cautious for the first time after learning that it was a rune inside.
Runes are no better than other items, spiritual weapons, artifacts, and even immortal weapons, martial arts and the like, although they are powerful, they also need to be urged.
But this rune is different, a little carelessness can cause the rune to move.
"Shangxian wants to auction it in my small cabinet?" After looking at a few storage bags, Jin Wuyong's expression obviously changed, and he asked directly.
I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, all the runes in these five storage bags were high-quality runes, and for him who had been a trader for many years, he could see at a glance that the accuracy and dexterity of these runes far exceeded those auctioned by big auction houses.
What's more, the amount is staggering.
These things are placed in those big auction houses, and they are enough to become an annual selling point conference.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he was directly called an immortal.
Judging from Li Donglai's speech and demeanor, there is no doubt that this rune is his, and the person who can refine such a rune is definitely the existence of the top disciple of the Xianmen in an immortal sect.
It's just that I don't know which immortal sect this disciple is?
"If the owner of the gold shop can sell it, it will naturally be better, but your bank will start trading after half a month, I am afraid that I can't wait so much time because of the urgency of time, as for where the auction is, I don't mind" Li Donglai said with a smile, "In addition, I need to exchange for some formation diagrams, talismans and the like, if your bank can meet it, it will naturally be better."
Li Donglai did not beat around the bush and said bluntly.
The purpose of his trip this time was to auction off some talismans and formation diagrams to practice.
Although Lingyun Immortal Gate is a great immortal gate, there are really few formations and talismans, and he has to spend so much money.
The runes that had been stored for a long time were all brought.
Jin Wuyong hurriedly got up, added a cup of hot tea for Li Donglai, and said enthusiastically, "If the immortals don't like it, I have some connections here, and I can auction off these runes for you." As for the time, this workshop can be a few days in advance for the immortals, but we have to wait until my friends arrive."
"I wonder how long it will take?"
"Three or five days is enough, and the auction transaction will start on the sixth day at the latest," Jin Wuyong said with his affirmation.
Li Donglai did not reply, but considered it.
Jin Wuyong, who was on the side, saw that Li Donglai didn't answer, and suddenly regretted it in his heart, why did he just talk for three or five days.
If he loses this big customer this time, this is his biggest regret this year.
You must know that as long as there is Li Donglai, the immortal, their auction house will also become one of the few cabinets in Youwang Mountain that can sell runes in the future, which is the biggest selling point to attract a large number of customers.
However, the experienced Jin Wuyong immediately thought of a remedy, and hurriedly said, "Don't hide it from the immortals, in the past few decades, the small cabinet shop has collected some rare formations and talismans, hoping to be able to enter the eyes of the immortals."
This Jin Wuyong didn't talk nonsense, he directly called the guys from the cabinet and ordered, "Go and take all the array diagrams, talismans, and treasures of the town store in our workshop, and let the immortals choose."
The guy looked at Li Donglai, and then at his shopkeeper, obviously a little confused.
They have been in this Youwang Mountain for dozens or hundreds of years, how have they ever seen their shopkeeper so generous, and they have taken a few more glances at this new customer in their hearts, what kind of customer is this?
And this order also made Li Donglai a little dumbfounded, is it a bit of a fuss to be a gold shopkeeper like this.
