The whole auction lasted until late at night, during which there was nothing big except for the hot auction atmosphere, and even a few high-priced large items were sold.

Finally, at the end of the auction, all the guests who participated in the auction were escorted to the designated inn by the Jiang Gang.

The old Shoufu Lord was still secretly protected by the Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm, and Xing Ti was not very relieved and also asked Chen Bai to arrange a room close to the old Shoufu Lord, so that he could take care of it.

Although Xing Ti has been on vacation these days, since he came out and met the old Shoufu, it is better to be more careful, so as not to be taken advantage of by traitors.

The night finally passed peacefully, and Chen Bai's hanging heart also relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Because these people were invited to Jiangzhou City to participate in the auction, Chen Bai naturally wanted to protect their lives, of course, once they left the boundary of Jiangzhou City, what happened would have nothing to do with the Jiang Gang.

The winter night is even longer, and the morning sun comes very late, and it is already two quarters of a year, and the sky is only slightly whitish normally. However, in the middle of the month, the faint moon rings on the horizon are still clearly visible, and the sky is bright and slightly dim. Outside, there is a layer of frost hanging in the treetops, eaves, and ridges, and the mist that comes out of people's mouths is clearly visible.

In the morning, neither the streets of the city nor the official roads outside the city were quiet, and the horses and carriages tread crisply on the bluestone pavement.

"Master, don't we have to say hello to the Jiang Gang when we leave like this?" said the attendant who helped Zhao Haiming into the carriage.

"No need, we are uninvited, and we are already troublesome to others, so we won't bother too much. Let's go, set off early, so that we can get to the capital in about a day and a half. Zhao Haiming got into the carriage and signaled his entourage to set off.

Although I didn't sleep long last night, I didn't lack sleep when I got older, and today I still look very energetic and in a good mood. Zhao Haiming still wanted to send this pair of 'sending Zizi Qilin' to the queen as soon as possible, and he was also counting on seeing his grandson born as soon as possible and adding some people to the Mo family.

Although Zhao Haiming knew that there was no such magic as Qin Xin said, two dead things made of jade, but at least Zhao Haiming had hope again.

"Yes, sir. The entourage waved his whip and shouted 'drive', and then hurried in the direction of the capital.

Xing Ti, who lived on the side all night, naturally knew about Zhao Haiming's departure, and in line with the principle of protecting the safety of the old shoufu, Xing Ti followed behind and escorted him all the way. Although Xing Ti knew that Lao Shoufu was traveling, he must have been secretly protected by the Shadow Dragon Guard, but one more person always has one more guarantee.

As the sun gradually rises, there are more and more people in Jiangzhou City, and naturally it becomes more lively.

Most of the people who participated in the auction last night were almost scattered, what should they do, of course, Liu Ming must have gone to the Jiang Gang to collect debts from Chen Bai.

As Liu Ming expected, Chen Bai deserved to be a scoundrel, and the profits negotiated at the beginning were divided into five or five accounts, but now he directly denies it. In the end, after Chenbai's crying father and mother, he made a hard bargain to 30%.

Fortunately, Liu Ming is familiar with Chen Bai's personality, otherwise he would have to be angry with Chen Bai. Of course, Liu Ming actually doesn't care about this money purely idle and has nothing to do with Chen Bai, this money is really a small amount of money for Liu Ming, to say that there are a lot of Chen Bai flowers posted every year, didn't I say it before, I almost changed the name of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce branch in Jiangzhou City to Chen Bai or Jiang Gang.

Thanks to the fact that the two of them were talking in the study at that time, otherwise Hu Fei and Qi Hong couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise their own helper Niu when they saw it.

Of course, the two who knew the final result would definitely be able to guess that their gang leader was a scoundrel again, crying, making trouble and hanging himself, Qi Hong and Hu Fei firmly believed that Chen Bai would definitely be able to do it.

In the end, after calculating the general ledger, in addition to the 200,000 taels of gold borrowed from the branch in the north of Liu Mingjiang Prefecture City, Chen Bai made a total of 2.1 million taels of silver in net profit, which is equivalent to earning 210,000 taels of gold. gave Liu Ming thirty percent, that is, 630,000 taels of silver, and the rest of Chen Bai earned a total of 1.47 million taels of silver.

On the same day, Chen Bai even returned all the profits to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, not only gave a considerable reward to the brothers of the Jiang Gang, but Hu Fei and Qi Hong also shared 200,000 dividends each, as for how the two of them arranged Chen Bai, the rest went to the treasury of the Jiang Gang.

But it didn't take long for Chen Bai to habitually cry to Liu Ming again, saying that the little money he had earned was spent again, but Liu Ming asked where the flowers went, and Chen Bai didn't say.

Liu Ming thought that Chen Bai was a miser, and Chen Bai must have saved the money, and habitually regarded his side as his small treasury. Then Liu Ming thought that he had been relied on by Chen Bai for two layers of profits for no reason, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, how did he know a brother who was such a thing.

Of course, that's all for later.

At this point, it was here, Chen Bai took Qi Hong and Hu Fei all day long to eat and drink, chic and comfortable.

Wudang Mountain.

Wudang Mountain is located in the territory of the current Northern Wei Dynasty, but in essence, it is not subordinate to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the north of the Yinshan Mountain Range, and the west of Dingzhou in the deep mountains.

Wudang Mountain is a Taoist hidden sect, ignoring the world and pursuing the avenue. It existed long before the Thirteen Kingdoms and has a long history.

There are many palaces in Wudang Mountain, including Zixiao Palace, Fuzhen Temple, Taihe Palace, Golden Palace and so on. Among them, there are three pools, nine springs, nine wells, nine platforms, ten pools, ten stones, eleven caves, twenty-four holes, thirty-six cliffs and seventy-two peaks.

It is also the Taoist 'Wu Wei', 'indisputable' and unique geographical location that makes Wudang Mountain far away from the spread of wolf smoke in this troubled world, but every day when there is a big chaos, regardless of plague, war, natural disasters, you can always see a Taoist priest holding a Taoist bun, wearing a light blue Taoist robe carrying a Tai Chi pattern, and holding a dusty Taoist priest down the mountain to hang a pot to help the world.

Coupled with the thousands of years of history of Wudang, whether it is Daqian, Southern Shu, Northern Wei, or Xiyueshu, they are all in awe of Wudang Mountain.

It is not so easy to enter Wudang Mountain, generally you have to walk thirty miles of mountains, climb over several peaks, cross several ravines and valleys to reach the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Lan Gu's identity is not strictly speaking as a disciple of Wudang now, but the swordsmanship Heart Sutra Haoran Sword Technique he has cultivated is a genuine Wudang True Tradition.

Blue Valley will come to Wudang Mountain every year before the heavy snow closes the mountain, but this year it is a little late, the Northern Wei Dynasty has already snowflakes, fortunately, the road into Wudang Mountain has not been blocked.

Walking to the Blue Valley at the foot of Wudang Mountain, looking at Wudang Mountain in the mist, you can vaguely see the main peak Tianzhu Peak towering into the clouds, and the surrounding seventy-two peaks are facing each other, forming the wonder of "seventy-two peaks towards the big top".

Anyone who takes the trouble to visit, pray for blessings, and wish to come to Wudang Mountain all praise the entire Wudang as simply "immortal in the mortal world".

Lan Gu thought about it, he is already thirty-five years old this year, and it has been twelve years since he went down the mountain, but unfortunately he can't go back, no matter how he repents, the master will never let himself step into Wudang half a step again.

Lan Gu walked up the steps step by step, and every time he came to Wudang, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a little Taoist boy and ran behind his brothers, but unfortunately after so many years, he was no longer a disciple of Wudang.

Blue Valley was adopted by Wudang since he was a child, and he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, whether it is governing the Tao, chanting, and practicing martial arts, he is extremely diligent, and his qualifications are also upper-level.

In fact, the full name of Blue Valley should be called Lan Qinggu, the first junior among the Qing characters in Wudang at that time, and studied under Zhengyangzi, the head of the prison in charge of the precepts in Wudang.

I still remember that my master was stereotypical and serious, and he was extremely strict with things, whether it was a senior uncle or a junior disciple of the same age as Lan Qinggu, as long as anyone violated the precepts of Wudang, he would be punished by the master, and he would be treated equally.

Even if Zhengyangzi's own precious apprentice Lan Qinggu made a mistake, he was punished the same, and he would never show favoritism.

Lan Qinggu still clearly remembers that when he was fifteen years old, he had an impulsive fight with a fourteen-year-old junior brother because of a quarrel, and when Master Zhengyangzi knew about it, he hit the top ten boards fiercely, without any mercy, and walked with his butt for half a month. At that time, Master Zhengyangzi taught Lan Qinggu while fighting, "A gentleman needs to be upright, treat things politely, and do his best, and do good deeds, and do evil deeds......

It is Zhengyangzi's character of being upright and upright that only treats things and not people, which makes all the disciples of Wudang very awe of this uncle who is not high in seniority, not high in cultivation, and not tall in stature. This is also the origin of Master Lan Qinggu's Dao name, and it is also the reason why the head of Wudang has always asked Zhengyangzi to take over the duties of the prison.

In this way, Lan Qinggu has been until he is twenty-three years old, and he has already entered the category of the master of the Four Elephant Realm at a young age, although it is not fast on Wudang Mountain, but it is not slow. Moreover, what Wudang itself pursues is the 'Tao', relying on the word 'Yuan', and only by doing nothing can he make a difference.

As a result, Lanqinggu has also emerged among the younger generation, and everyone believes that Lanqinggu will definitely become the mainstay of Wudang in the future.

But this year, something unexpected happened to everyone, Lan Qinggu at that time was already dissatisfied with what he was learning at the moment, but many more advanced martial arts in Wudang are not something that anyone can learn casually, only with the consent of the master.

The golden hall of Wudang Mountain, also known as the "Thunder Fire Refining Palace", is located at the top of the main peak Tianzhu Peak, which has an indescribable mystery for the cultivation of the Liangyi Realm, and is the place where the heads of the past dynasties practiced, and no one is allowed to enter without permission unless the head of the sect is allowed to enter.

The 'Three Swords of the Extreme Dao' in Wudang's peerless school was stored here by the head Zhang Yuanxi, and he heard the news from the disciples in private, which immediately gave Lan Qinggu an idea.

Fortunately at first, Lan Qinggu knew which was more important, what could not be done, and under the strict teaching of the master all the year round, Lan Qinggu successfully suppressed his thoughts, and kept reciting the "Tao Te Ching" to calm down and discipline himself.

Until one day, Lan Qinggu occasionally heard his uncles mention that the head Zhang Yuanxi was going to Yunyou, and Lan Qinggu's heart could no longer be calm.

The idea of secretly practicing the peerless school slowly took root in Lan Qinggu's heart, and he couldn't suppress it anymore. Until the day when the head of the family really left Wudang Mountain, the little sprouts and seedlings that once had the idea of haunting him became a towering tree in an instant.

Finally, that night, Lan Qinggu still couldn't resist the temptation of the Peerless Learning, and secretly left his residence, avoiding the heavy guard disciples and entering the Golden Hall under the dark clouds and drizzling rain.

Lan Qinggu would never have thought that he would enter the Golden Palace so easily, but it didn't matter so much, Lan Qinggu's excited hands trembled slightly when he saw the four quaint big characters on the yellowed page that read 'Extreme Three Swords'.

The moment he opened the cheats, Lan Qinggu was deeply immersed in it. Lan Qinggu only knew at that time that the mystery of martial arts was so charming that it made people crazy.

Suddenly, the dark clouds of the night sky thundered loudly, resounding in the sky, and thunder slashed towards the Golden Palace, forming the wonder of the Wudang Changjian Thunder Fire Refining Palace.

I didn't feel that Lan Qinggu comprehended the profound meaning of the 'Extreme Three Swords' in the Golden Palace, and consolidated himself with the help of the Thunder Fire Refining Palace's cultivation and mastery.

But the good times didn't last long, and Lan Qinggu, who was still obsessed with comprehending peerless learning, didn't know that it was already three poles outside, so he was found and reported to the acting head elder.

At present, after discussing with the master of Lan Qinggu, all the elders unanimously decided to abolish Lan Qinggu's cultivation and expel him from Wudang Mountain, and remove it from the disciples of the sect's genealogy 'Qing', and then call it Blue Valley.

The only time that Zhengyangzi, who was impartial in his life, showed favoritism, he did not abolish Lan Gu's cultivation, but beat Lan Gu to a serious injury and pretended to be an illusion of abolishing his cultivation, and expelled him from Wudang. and ordered Lan Gu not to use Wudang for the rest of his life, nor to show himself as a disciple of Wudang, otherwise he would personally go down the mountain to ambush him.

Since then, Zhengyangzi and Blue Valley have been destined for master and apprentice, and Blue Valley and Wudang have no relationship with each other, and only a few people know about this matter, Liu Ming and Uncle Liu.

Over the years, Blue Valley has always regretted the big mistake he made at that time, and he was ashamed of Wudang's nurturing grace. Once a year, he has to go to Wudang and kneel in front of the mountain gate, perform the rites of his disciples, and beg for forgiveness.

After almost half a day's effort, Lan Gu finally came to the gate of Wudang Mountain, looking at the familiar big word "Wudang Mountain" Lan Gu bowed his head deeply, feeling guilty, sorry for the nurturing grace of Wudang Mountain, sorry for the earnest teaching of his master Zhengyangzi.

I saw Lan Gu, who was dressed in a cyan robe, kneeling under the mountain gate of Wudang, the sky was drifting with snowflakes, only the snow was slowly precipitating on the barren mountain road, and the cold wind was constantly blowing Lan Gu's hair and clothes. Except for the whispers of the two Wudang disciples who were sweeping the snow at the door, there was silence between heaven and earth.

Under the gate of Wudang Mountain, a person knelt in a green shirt, regardless of the wind and snow, and the severe cold.

The twenty-three-year-old young man who was once hot-blooded and impulsive has knelt under the Wudang Mountain Gate for twelve years, and now he is thirty-five years old. He also cultivated from the Four Elephant Realm when he left the martial arts, and knelt down to the Great Master of the Liangyi Realm that everyone respects now.

A long sigh in Wudang Mountain, indescribable meaning, I don't know whether it is pity, pity, distress, and reluctance.
