Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Posthumous Work of the Great Sage of the Palace

After turning around in front of the counter of the military book, Lu Zhan was disappointed, it was nothing more than some of the most basic theories of military exercises, it seemed that the books in this counter were very different from the "Complete Book of Heavenly General Evolution" that he got.

So he complained: "Little brother, don't you have a good book written by Bengong Pengyun here?"

"Gong Pengyun?" the junior appraiser's eyes widened, and he muttered in confusion: "Is it a new author? I haven't heard of it yet!"

This junior appraiser was a very enthusiastic young man, and he was ashamed to ask if he didn't know, so he immediately ran outside the counter and asked a white-haired old man who looked to be an intermediate appraiser: "Master, that silver guest just asked about a book written by a new author named 'Gong Pengyun', is this 'Gong Pengyun' very famous nowadays? ”

"Gong Pengyun, new author, he's new to you!" The white-haired old man slapped the junior appraiser on the head angrily, and then ran to Lu Zhan and said to him: "I'm sorry for this VIP, my disciple has little knowledge and offended the Great Holy Lord of the Palace, and I hope the VIP will forgive him for being young and ignorant." ”

"Palace Great Holy Lord?" Lu Zhan was also confused when he heard it, "This Palace Pengyun is actually called the Holy Lord, he must be an amazing figure, but I really haven't heard of this person, which country is he from?"

The old man was stunned when he heard Lu Zhan's words, and thought that he didn't know where Gong Pengyun was sacred, but he was a silver-level guest, and it was inconvenient for him to be angry, so he had to explain angrily: "The country of the Great Holy Lord of the Palace has long been destroyed, and he is a figure more than two thousand years ago. ”

Lu Zhan and the junior appraiser standing on the side let out an "oh" at the same time, thinking to themselves: "It turns out that he is a hardcore person from so long ago! No wonder I haven't heard of it, I can't blame me for being lonely and unheard." ”

The old man then narrated: "Gong Pengyun was the founding monarch of the Hongzang Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and he was a rare military genius and martial arts genius in the past 2,000 years. ”

The junior appraiser hurriedly said: "Heh, Hongzang Dynasty I know that that dynasty was the most prosperous and powerful country in the entire continent two thousand years ago, and it is said that it has annexed dozens of empires one after another, and our current Great Chu Empire was just a remote small state and county under the Hongzang Kingdom. However, isn't the founding monarch of the Hongzang Kingdom called Gong Shengtian?"

The white-haired old man smiled disdainfully: "Don't admit that you stupid boy knows little." Nagong Shengtian started as a small city, successively annexed several surrounding countries, and established his own great power, in order to summon the great powers

His ambition to dominate the world was given a different name. This person is very ambitious, and he actually intends to unify the entire continent of the world, and in the end, he even calls himself the Great Holy Lord of the Palace. In fact, his real name when he was a teenager was Gong Pengyun. This palace Pengyun

He was very good at using soldiers, and could almost be said to be invincible, his army swept the world, and the realm crossed by the iron hoof, either gave up resistance and surrendered to the vassal, or suffered the tragic end of the destruction of the country and the king. Think about it, the way of leading the troops of the Great Holy Lord of that palace

How powerful. ”

The old man paused and sighed, "It's a pity that although the Great Holy Lord of this palace is extremely talented in military affairs, he is not satisfactory in governing the country, and his descendants have no outstanding abilities. So that the Hongzang Dynasty only

It flourished for just over three hundred years before it fell apart. That Gong Pengyun did write a few military books in his early years, as if it was called a complete volume, sorry because the time is too long, the title of the book is old and I can't remember it clearly. Later he was busy annexing

In the world, there is no desire to write books. However, according to legend, he once had a skilled craftsman engrave the book seal on an extremely precious ink jade, and bind it into a book and stored it in the library of the Hongzang Palace

Books became his only legacy. Later, the Hongzang Dynasty was tragically destroyed, and the entire palace was burned into a sea of fire, but that set of strange books was preserved and circulated in the world because it was not afraid of the invasion of water, fire, and swords. Said after

Different versions of the military book have been written and circulated in the world, but those versions have been distorted and distorted by some mediocre people, so that they have lost their original essence and charm. It's a pity that the original of the ink jade version

version, not many people have seen its true face with their own eyes. If that single book is still in the world, its value is difficult to assess, and it may even be worth all the wealth of the previous great empire combined. ”

Listening to the old man's narration, Lu Zhan thought to himself that the book in his hand was indeed carved on black jade, could it be that it was Gong Pengyun's original military book? It seems that this Duobao General does have some really good treasures, but it is a pity that he calls himself a general, but he is a mediocre person, who only knows how to collect but does not know how to make better use of its value.

After learning the story of the "Complete Book of Heavenly Evolution" from the old man's mouth, Lu Zhan was no longer interested in staying there. He left the utility counter and walked towards the most mysterious area of the underground trading house.

Although this sprawling secret workshop may seem to be bustling with many shops and rooms, the entire underground trading place is divided into two large areas.

The eastern half of the area, that is, the trading floor, the shop structure here is open, and it looks bustling and popular, but in fact, it is only the items with ordinary surnames that are traded.

The western half, on the other hand, is divided into several smaller confined areas. Among them, there are three auction halls in the front, which are places for users in the three realms of "refining body", "forging bones" and "condensing qi" to auction items with relatively high value.

The two large and lavishly decorated rooms in the back are the appraisal room of the senior appraiser and the trading place of the highest value and rarest items.

At this time, Lu Zhan was standing in the corridor next to the last two rooms.

He remembered that not long ago, when he saw Steward Liu for the first time, he saw him appear in the position he was standing in at this moment, and he was still carrying a package wrapped in layers of precious silk in his hand.

Could it be that Steward Liu also had some important transactions here at that time? If this is the case, then the bag of things he was carrying in his hand must have been worth a lot of money.

Lu Zhan walked to the door of the senior appraiser's appraisal room, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door and walked in.

There was a middle-aged woman sitting in the appraisal room, and when she saw Lu Zhan walk in the door, she quickly glanced at the soft armor he was holding in the crook of his arm and the silver VIP card he showed in his hand;

Immediately asked softly in a very sweet and greasy voice: "Is this little brother here to identify items?"

Lu Zhan nodded: "I'm looking for a senior appraiser." ”

At this moment, in order to hide his true face, he is still wearing a mask that transforms into a middle-aged man with an ugly face.

As for his current old and ugly face, he was suddenly called out by the bewitching woman opposite--little brother, not to mention how uncomfortable and weird it felt.

The middle-aged woman didn't know what he was thinking, she just smiled charmingly: "Then little brother, you have found the right person, I am, hey, you can call me Miss Fan." ”

"Miss Fan?" Lu Zhanxin said, "So still call themselves girls, and this woman's flirtatious appearance will really be a senior appraiser?"

The middle-aged woman named Miss Fan saw the doubts in Lu Zhan's eyes, and she sneered: "Don't doubt little brother, I am the most authoritative appraiser in the entire Yunmeng City, I said that the soft armor you brought is worth 500,000 taels of silver, and no one dares to say that the price is 500,000 taels and 1 tael." ”

Seeing that her tone was so confident, Lu Zhan believed that she was a senior appraiser.

So he put the soft armor in his hand in front of the table and said, "I want you to appraise this soft armor, but the intermediate appraiser outside said that he can't determine the value of this one." ”

"Okay, the little brother's request is absolutely fine. ”

The Fan girl threw another wink, only stared at it for a moment, then coughed and said, "Hmm, I have already helped you identify." ”

"It's been identified so quickly?" Lu Zhan was puzzled: "When did you identify it?" Miss Fan, you haven't touched a finger of this armor. ”

Miss Fan replied with a smile: "Didn't I say it just now, on the territory of Yunmeng City, I said that your soft armor is worth 500,000 taels, and no one dares to quote the price up by one or two more, or one or two less." That's right!

'Rhino Moon Gazetteer' is worth almost 500,000 taels of silver according to the unified market in our Great Chu Empire's Secret Fang Alliance. Of course, if it is placed at auction, it may be able to sell higher, but that is not necessarily the case

Son, maybe there are no wealthy buyers who appreciate it at the auction, and the auction will fail. ”

"Rhino Moon Gazetteer?rank seven?" Lu Zhan couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart: "Miss Fan really deserves to be a senior appraiser, just one look at it, and she immediately identified it." The intermediate appraiser in the trading hall didn't see its origin and specific value for a long time. ”

This Fan girl has obviously been flattered by countless people in this secret workshop, so she behaved very calmly for such a small compliment to Lu Zhan.

She smiled lightly and said: "Those intermediate appraisers may be fooling you when they say that they can't see the origin of this soft armor, but according to the rules of the Secret Fang Alliance, limited to their intermediate status, they don't have the qualifications to evaluate this armor, so they will say that their ability is limited and they can't see it." ”

Oh, that's what happened, no wonder the intermediate appraiser was a little excited when he saw this treasure armor, it turned out that he had already recognized its rank and origin.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan asked again: "Miss Fan, you said that it is called 'Rhino Moon Gazetteer', could it be that the material of this soft armor is made of rhinoceros skin tanning." ”

"yes. Miss Fan nodded: "There is a kind of rhinoceros that grows in the Crescent Moon Desert of the Southern Earth Continent, and likes to look at the moon and chirp every night, so people call this rhinoceros the Moon Rhinoceros." This moon-gazing rhinoceros has two treasures on it,

One is the giant horn on the head, and the other is the skin on the body. The giant horn is a very valuable material for making high-grade pills, and its skin, which seems to be very soft, actually has extremely strong tenacity and resistance to blows, which can be said to be invulnerable.

Fire and water are invulnerable. So people made soft armor from its leather and named it 'Rhino Mochizuki Armor'. ”

As soon as Miss Fan's words fell, she heard the door behind her be opened.

Lu Zhan turned around and looked back, only to see a middle-aged man walk in. The man was short, pale-complexioned, with a narrow face and thick eyebrows hanging upside down.

Lu Zhan felt that this person seemed to have seen it somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that it was the eyebrow man he saw outside the stone forest of Zixia Mountain at dusk.

The eyebrow man obviously didn't notice Lu Zhan's strange appearance, and after walking in the door, he smiled at Lu Zhan and nodded politely.

After Miss Fan saw the hanging eyebrow guest, she hurriedly introduced to Lu Zhan: "This is the steward of our secret workshop-Qiu Feng. ”

Na Qiu said politely to Lu Zhanxu: "This brother's treasure armor wants to be traded, I don't know if he is going to buy it out directly from our secret workshop, or if he wants to put it on the auction floor for auction." If it were an outright buyout, we would definitely be

A reasonable price, probably the price that Miss Fan said just now. If you want to put it up for auction at auction, the result is not certain, you may be able to get a good price, or you may fail to sell it. But if it's really a lost shot, then

It's impossible for us to buy this item at the same price we just had. And looking at Cloud Dream City and even within a radius of thousands of miles, it is impossible to bid higher than our secret workshop. So please brother, you think about it first. ”

Lu Zhan deliberately pondered for a while and replied, "That's no need, I'm going to keep it for myself." He put away the soft armor and arched his hand at Miss Fan: "Thank you Miss Fan for your identification, and I will leave now." ”

Miss Fan also smiled in return: "You're welcome, if you have any good things in your hands in the future, little brother, you must come to us to trade, and I promise to give you a good price." ”

Lu Zhan then nodded politely to Qiu Feng, turned around and walked out of the appraisal room.
