After understanding the general situation in Zhongzhou, Tang Ming set off directly.

Went to Mohe.

Prepare to find a boatman who is familiar with the route to send you over.

The main city of Zhongzhou is called Daliang City, and I heard that there is a prince living there.

Originally, Tang Ming thought that he would be able to meet the emperor.

However, perhaps because he was afraid that those Jianghu guests would collide with the saint, the final was not held in the imperial city.

"Liang City?"

The old boatman wearing a hat and a cloak heard Tang Ming's words, and after thinking for a while, he gestured out two fingers:

"Little brother, give me two hundred wen."

Two hundred is not much.

In Chuxiang City, you can also buy four or five steamed buns.

And it takes a day to get to Daliang City.

At this price, it is already very cheap.

But...

Tang Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a golden bean the size of a pea was thrown by him to the boatman.

This is the smallest denomination on his body.

The old boatman was puzzled at first, and then hurriedly handed back the golden beans in his hand to Tang Ming in a little panic.

"Childe, this denomination is too big, and the little second child can't find it."

A golden bean can be sold for more than 40,000 yuan, which is a huge amount of money for any ordinary person, enough for a family to eat for a year.

"You don't need to look for the old man, just tell me along the way about the strange things in this Daliang City."

Tang Ming pushed back the hand he had handed over.

"It's... Childe is just like this, so you don't need to give me so much. ”

The old boatman was still a little embarrassed.

However, under Tang Ming's several persuasions, he still accepted the golden beans.

However, after his subordinates, he did not immediately take Tang Ming away.

Instead, he returned to his home built by the river.

When I came back, I already had a big rooster in my hand and some bacon.

Obviously, he wanted to entertain Tang Ming well in the rush project.

After all, so much money, just accept it directly, which really makes people feel a little uneasy.

"Let's go, Childe."

Tang Ming nodded, and stepped into the boat.

"Let's start the boat~"

The old boatman's voice was high, and the wooden pulp supported the riverbank, and gradually the wooden boat traveled far away.

Leaving only a ripple on the surface of the gently flowing river.

After Tang Ming felt the artistic conception of what is called a light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, he also entered the canopy and talked with the boatman.

And with this conversation, Tang Ming found that the boatman in front of him actually knew a lot of disturbing things on the rivers and lakes.

"When I was young, I ran around on the waterways, and when I heard a lot about the things of all parties, I naturally knew about it."

"Childe, if you want to learn martial arts, you can go to the ** temple to have a look."

"I heard from those Jianghu guests that there is a scripture pavilion in the ** temple, which not only contains Buddhism, but also all kinds of secret books."

"**Temple? Does the boatman know where it is? ”

Tang Ming asked.

"In the northeast direction of Daliang City, Gongzi can walk along the official road when the time comes, ** There are many pilgrims who burn incense and worship Buddha on weekdays, and Gongzi sees a lot of people, that's it."

Talk all the way.

Tang Ming has a lot of understanding of the entire martial arts.

Specializing in digging people's ancestral graves.

A swallow's nest with a masterful skill in stealing.

The Jiuli alien race that specializes in Gu poisoning people.

...

Knowing this, Tang Ming also planned to have time to go to these sects.

Although these ninth-rate sects cannot be put on the table, their internal strength and mental methods have their own characteristics.

You can collect it.

"Dah."

Just as Tang Ming was thinking about this, a soft sound suddenly came from under the boat.

Tang Ming quickly looked over and found that it was a hand that broke through the water and landed on the edge of the boat.

"And the supernatural elements?"

Tang Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

But he soon realized that he was overthinking.

Underwater was not the water ghost he imagined, but a roadblock with a sharp knife.

"If you know each other, hand over the valuable things on your body, Uncle Ben only robs money and doesn't kill him!"

The bearded water bandit threatened Tang Ming with a sharp knife in his hand.

Seeing this, the old boatman did not show a frightened look on his face, but raised the wood pulp in his hand and asked calmly:

"I don't know, which way did my brother get mixed up? Don't you know that this canal is the territory of the Cao Gang? ”

"Phew! Less nonsense, either pay the money or leave your life here! ”

The strong man paid no attention to the old boatman's words, and waved the sharp knife in his hand, making an impatient appearance of preparing to make a move.

The old boatman's brow furrowed at this.

Just as he was about to let Tang Ming hide in the canopy, he came to deal with the person in front of him.

Suddenly, I felt a strong wind rise behind me.

The blow made his clothes dance constantly.

Before he could react to what was happening, he saw the strong man standing at the head of the bed, as if he had been hit by some heavy object.

Flew straight out.

It made two floats on the surface of the water, and then sank to the bottom.

"This.."

Seeing this, the old boatman immediately looked behind him, like Tang Ming, where nothing had happened.

knew that this must be the other party's move.

"I didn't expect the young man to have such a high level of internal strength, it's the little old man's clumsiness."

When the old boatman said this, he did not continue the topic, but returned to his original position and continued rowing.

However, I don't know if it's because of this little episode.

The two talked a lot less than they had at the beginning.

Half a day passed.

The sun has completely set in the west.

The whole world fell into darkness.

Fortunately, the candle flame in the house not far away banished some of the darkness.

It doesn't make people completely swallowed up by darkness.

"Shaoxia, we have arrived, this is the port of Daliang City."

The old boatman said to Tang Ming:

"Go straight this way, turn left at a crossroads, and when you are about to get to the gate of the city, there will be an inn where you can stay."

As for him, it was enough to rest on the boat for one night.

"Thank you."

Tang Ming thanked the old boatman for his reminder, and then quickly found the inn located in Daliang City according to his words.

200 yuan a night, including breakfast.

Tang Ming gave the money, and then he was personally received by the innkeeper and sent to live in the best private room in the inn.

Sleepless nights.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Tang Ming stretched his waist and walked downstairs.

"What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

When the innkeeper saw Tang Ming coming down, he immediately greeted him.

After being the boss, he personally instructed him to take care of this master.

"A bowl of white porridge and a few buns."

After speaking, Tang Ming waved his hand and signaled the other party not to disturb him.

"Okay."

can be the shopkeeper, then naturally he has the strength to see, so he immediately stepped down and asked Xiao Er to give Tang Ming the food.

Tang Ming casually found a place to sit down, and began to listen to the exchanges between the merchants around him.

Nothing interesting.

It's mostly a bit of a tick to listen to the music.

Tang Ming listened for a while, then swallowed the white porridge in the bowl.

Picked up the two steamed buns that had been eaten, and walked out of the inn while eating.

Prepare to take a look at the jeweled building first.

Then go and see if the hook bar in the mouth of those merchants is irregular.

The jeweled building is not hard to find.

Ask someone casually on the street, and Tang Ming got the exact direction.

It is located in the innermost part of Daliang City.

It is the second tallest building in the entire Daliang City.

As for the first highest, it is the flower-like brocade building, that is, the place where you listen to music.

"I don't know if the customer wants to buy or consign?"

As soon as he walked into the Jeweled Treasure Building, a maid walked up and asked Tang Ming respectfully.

"How long will the most recent auction take place?"

Tang Ming asked.

"It's noon today."

The maid said respectfully:

"If you want to participate in the auction, you need to pay 2,000 yuan to buy tickets."

"Two thousand Wen, you can do business."

Hearing the maid's words, Tang Ming smiled.

"The auction is full of rare objects that are usually rare to see, and it is definitely worth the money with two thousand long knowledge."

In the face of Tang Ming's question, the jewel building obviously had a special answer technique.

"Do I need to buy tickets for the consignment?"

Tang Ming got some change, and it was not very convenient to use gold all the time.

"It has to be something that is valued at more than 10,000 yuan."

Hearing Tang Ming's words, the maid reminded her.

"It's nature."

As Tang Ming spoke, there was already an extra piece of palm-sized gold in his hand.

It was very casually thrown to the maid in front of him.

According to the value of gold in this world, the piece of gold he threw in front of him can be exchanged for millions of Wen.

"This..."

Seeing this, the maid's attitude was more respectful than just now:

"Guest, please."

Soon, Tang Ming was led into a small private room.

The private room is located on the second floor, and when you look down through the guardrail, you can see the high platform below and the neatly arranged seats around the high platform.

With such a location, it is obviously a VIP service.

"There is still an hour before the auction starts, and guests can eat some melons and fruits here, or walk around the building for a while and come back."

After the maid finished speaking, she left a gold auction receipt, and quickly left with the gold in her hand, obviously going through the follow-up procedures.

After the maid left, Tang Ming did not go shopping, but waited for the auction to begin.

Because when he came in, he had already roughly looked at the items sold in the Jewel Building.

It's mostly calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, tea, and other useless things.

It's not interesting.

While he was waiting, the auction also came in one after another.

Compared to the previous one in Dirty Street.

This auction is undoubtedly much more formal.

The number of participants was more than ten times greater.

And there are obviously some dignitaries.

For example, a middle-aged man who had just sat down not far from him.

Those who can go up to this second floor are either wealthy or have a high status.

The middle-aged man sitting next to Tang Mingguan was dressed in brocade, and there was a momentum of not being angry and arrogant between his eyebrows.

Beside him there were two brought to the slaves.

Obviously, money and money go hand in hand.

Tang Ming glanced at him a few times, then retracted his attention and focused on the auction that was about to start.

】

As for the middle-aged man in the gorgeous costume, although he felt Tang Ming's gaze, he didn't care.

I didn't want to talk to Tang Ming.

When he was away, he didn't want to be recognized.

And while he was waiting for the auction to begin, an old man dressed as a slave came quickly:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the minions have already inquired, and this time there are indeed five Forgetful You Dan for sale."

"Do you have enough money?"

King Qi nodded when he heard this, and then asked.

And when he said this, the old man had already found a wooden locket from his sleeve.

When it was opened, there was a burst of golden light coming from inside.

Among them was a gold ingot, the size of a rice ball.

Counting down, there are forty ingots in total, each weighing one or two.

One ingot, 500,000 wen, 40 ingots is 20 million.

Such a huge amount of wealth.

It is enough to make an ordinary family worry about food and clothing for ten lifetimes.

"Well, let's put it here."

King Qi nodded when he saw this.

Money is just like that for a person of his status, no matter how much money there is.

And forty ingots of gold are just a year's income of the Qi Palace.

As long as you can buy Forget Youdan, the cost is completely worth it.

Soon under the waiting of everyone.

It was noon.

Wang Fugui, who was dressed like the God of Wealth, walked to the center of the high platform in the middle of the hall under the convergence of everyone's eyes.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"Okay, I won't say much nonsense, just go straight to the first auction item."

"Grade A pill, tonifying the heavens!"

After speaking, a maid came up from below with a delicate mahogany locket.

After the wooden box is opened.

Suddenly, a strong fragrance covered the entire auction venue.

In the center of the wooden box, a red pill the size of a coin lay down.

"Legend has it that the Heaven Replenishing Pill can live and die people, flesh and bones, of course, this statement must be a bit exaggerated, but it is completely possible to save an injured and dying person in an instant."

"Even those who complete the physical defects are not just legends."

Wang Fugui briefly introduced the medicinal effect of the Tiandan.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became hot.

Obviously, everyone didn't expect that in the first line of this auction, Wang Fugui would be able to come up with such a good thing.

"With this elixir, isn't it equivalent to an extra life?"

"If it is dedicated to those princes, I dare not say that I will be promoted to an official, but it is possible to have no worries about food and clothing."

Many people began to whisper, and at the same time, they also made predictions about what sky-high prices they could eventually auction for.

"The reserve price is 100,000, let's start bidding now."

Wang Fugui looked at the people discussing below, and after feeling that the atmosphere was about the same, he said the reserve price.

This price suddenly made the slightly noisy environment of the scene quiet.

Not much quieter, though.

Above the second floor, a lazy voice came:

"Two hundred thousand, my son wants it."

"Just 200,000 and you want to make up for it? I'll help out 300,000! ”

"I'll give 310,000! My brother is caressing the general, and I hope you will give you a thin face. ”

...

The auction process seems to be lively, but in fact the price rises very slowly.

Tang Ming plucked out his ears.

After another person finished bidding, he stretched out his hand and compared one:

"Ten Pounds of Gold"

Hearing this offer, the scene was silent.

Gold is generally used in exchange for money, which is directly priced in gold, and it is the first time that everyone has encountered it.

Wang Fugui on the stage grinned when he heard this, and said in his heart that he had made a lot of money this time.

He immediately spoke:

"This boy pays ten taels of gold, is there anyone who pays a higher price than this?"

Ten taels of gold was five million, which was more than five times the price he expected.

Hearing Wang Fugui's words, Tang Ming wanted to explain that he was talking about catties, not two, but after seeing that after he called out the price, no one would compete with him, so he didn't bother to explain.

After the maid brought the things and paid for them, they began to wait for the next auction item to be put on the market.

However, just when Tang Ming was thinking about what the next auction item would be, he heard the majestic middle-aged man next to him suddenly ask:

"Little brother, this is specifically for this Heavenly Pill?"
