Chapter 41: Slipping Away?

Originally, Mu Chen had distracting thoughts and his chest was bored, but suddenly a ball of pure aura came from the dantian, soothing the restless aura.

The sound of the beginning came, like the warm sun, and like the song of Zhu Xianyue Qing, singing three sighs, although there are not many voices, melting and swaying, listening to it does not feel peaceful.

He slowly opened his eyes, saw Zhang Banxian's face was solemn, silently recited the "Tao Sutra", and hurriedly lifted his breath to collect his mind, feeling that the aura of Zhou Tian was running much smoother, knowing that Zhang Banxian helped him, and thanked him with his armrest.

"Thank you seniors for your help!"

Zhang Banxian laughed, stroked his white beard, and pretended to be unfathomable, he liked to deceive people like this the most.

However, there is still confusion in the hearts of the younger generations. ”

"You say. ”

"Since the seniors know that this thing is wrong, why did they only tell me alone, leaving that senior brother in the dark?"

"Shall I tell my brother the truth?"

Mu Chen sincerely asked for advice, because cultivators are most afraid of mental turmoil, if they are disturbed by the world, their hearts are distressed, and they have been unable to see through it, or they cannot let things be done from their hearts, it will inevitably have an impact on their monastic career.

At the least, it will affect the speed of cultivation, make it difficult to concentrate when meditating and running the week, damage the spiritual veins, and make the foundation unstable.

If it is serious, it will ruin the future, not only will the cultivation become stagnant, the day cannot think, the night can not sleep, if it develops into attachment, then one thought becomes an idiot, and one thought falls into the devil.

Zhang Banxian shook his head, his eyes were shining, and he pointed to a few middle-aged monks in front of him who looked incomprehensible.

"Boy, have you seen the monks in red clothes with three seats in the second row of the cadre position, four seats in the first row of the earthquake position, eight seats in the second row of the Kan position, and two seats in the fourth row of the Xun position?"

"If you look closely at their collars, they are all embroidered with the sect crest of the Great Sect of Refining Weapons, if you have also observed it just now, you will know that none of the monks sitting next to these four participated in the bidding for that piece of agarwood. ”

"None of them spoke, what do you want me to say, an old man who is a loose cultivator, who are you going to talk to?"

"Will anyone believe me when I say it?"

Zhang Banxian pursed his lips and stared at the auction table in front of him.

He seemed to be recalling something, and he unconsciously felt a little more nostalgic in his eyes, but he was quickly interrupted by himself, and solemnly admonished Mu Chen.

"Mu boy, I know you are well-intentioned, but I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, you want to be a good person, but others may not appreciate it. ”

"Actually, I was like you in the early years, but ......"

"It's just that, it's all obsession, don't mention it. ”

Zhang Banxian sighed heavily, halfway through his words, and shook his head again and again, saying that people still have to look at money, can't indulge in the past, or look at the lot with peace of mind is the right thing.

Mu Chen stretched out his head to look, and sure enough, he saw four monks wearing red cloud robes sitting in all directions, all looking at the monks who patted the incense with a smile on their faces.

Two of the monks were old, and only one of them, who had a delicate face and did not look very old, sat in the fourth row of the Xun throne and conversed with the equally young but proud monk next to him.

Although the two wore the uniforms of different sects, they seemed to have a good relationship.

The other three Instrument Sect monks had an aura of their own, standing aloft, as if everyone else was talking to them as alms.

It's just that Mu Chen watched it for a long time, thought about it for a while, and still didn't seem to understand.

The previous question Zhang Banxian answered was easy to understand, but the latter question made Mu Chen really unable to understand.

These four people from the Instrument Sect did not tell the people who bought agarwood about this in public, presumably because they didn't want to demolish the platform of the Purple Cloud Peak Heavenly Palace, so they only told the truth to their friends.

But why should you tell the buyer the truth, you are meddling?

However, he just hid his doubts in his heart and stopped worrying about this matter with Zhang Banxian for the time being.

Although it is good to have the help of others on the road of repair, but in the end, whether you can have experience and understanding depends on yourself.

After listening to the auction for a while, Zhang Banxian didn't find out which auction item had a big problem, but there were many small problems, although he chattered, Mu Chen also learned a lot from him.

Sometimes when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would take the initiative to ask Zhang Banxian for advice, and the old Taoist priest was not stingy, basically he could understand it in just a few words, so that Mu Chen benefited a lot from refining tools and refining materials.

Halfway through the auction, Zhang Banxian suddenly took out a pot of steaming wolfberry and red date tea from the Qiankun bag, and also took out a few pieces of sugar shortbread, and the table that originally had nothing was full of tea sets and refreshments for a while.

Zhang Banxian took the hot tea and poured a cup for Mu Chen, but Mu Chen was concerned about the matter in his heart and only warmed his hands with tea.

"Senior Zhang, how are we going to sell our animal bones?"

"I see that although there are not many things sold at the auction, only four pieces have been displayed in the morning, but each lot is worth a lot of money, and the cheapest is not less than a thousand taels of silver, are our animal bones eligible for auction?"

Mu Chen's eyes were eager, the few materials on display just now were all extraordinary, and there was no shortage of materials that matched Mu Chen's attributes, but he was shy in his pocket, and he didn't dare to raise his hand even if he encountered a refining material he liked.

Zhang Banxian was unhurried, he looked at the missing carving under the auction table, and drank the hot tea with a smile.

"There's no rush. ”

"This auction is divided into two sessions, the morning is the auction of high-value materials commissioned by other sects, and the participants in the auction are all disciples of the great sects who govern more than a dozen counties and counties, and the monks in the back row have not raised their hands a few times. ”

"Wait until the free auction in the afternoon, when this place will be completely lively, and it is also the time to really test your eyesight and observation, and your animal bones will be sold in the afternoon. ”

"So, this morning's auction hasn't ended yet, you can wait with peace of mind, I'm more anxious than you!"

Hearing Zhang Banxian say this, Mu Chen refocused on the auction itself.

There are also monks who come in from the small door one after another, and casually find a seat in the back row to sit down, but most of them are disciples of small sects, and high-value items have nothing to do with them, so they are just here to increase their knowledge.

The pimple in Mu Chen's heart has not been lifted, although the aura is still running smoothly, but he has been restless, and he can't gather the aura well and concentrate his mind.

Finally waiting for the end of the morning auction, Zhang Banxian put away the teapot and refreshments and wiped the corners of his mouth.

He thought that he had shown himself in the morning, and he had already made the stupid boy throw himself to the ground with the five bodies he admired, and it was absolutely impossible to suspect that he had lied to him, and he was in a good mood unconsciously.

Zhang Banxian put away his things and planned to call Mu Chen out for a walk.

Because he thought that he could talk to other monks who had auction items at noon, and only then could he figure out the price.

If there are many animal bones of the same quality at the free auction, then the animal bones in Mu Chen's hand will be discounted.

But if no one else has animal bones in their hands, then the reserve price can be set higher.

"Boy Mu, let's go out to find out the situation first, and then come back later. ”

"Hey, Wood Boy, what are you doing......"

Zhang Banxian turned around, but suddenly found that the young man sitting next to him had disappeared.

"Hey, what about this man, this man?"

"What about people!"
