Chapter 37: A Pear Blossom Pressed Begonia
Kendo is not only about cultivating the sword, but sometimes it is also about cultivating the mind.
If the heart is clear, the way of the sword is self-contained, this is a very simple truth.
Murong Yu sat quietly like this, closed his eyes and rested, fell asleep when he was sleepy, and thought when he woke up.
There is nothing more important to him than this.
As long as you figure it out and see your heart clearly, everything will be complete.
In this way, he didn't know how long he thought about it, and he didn't know how long it had been.
The auction was about to start an hour before it began, just around noon.
The shopkeeper came to inform him, and Murong Yu began to wash, and then hastily ate something in the inn, then turned around and went out.
That is to say, except for sleeping and eating, he basically never left the room for half a step.
The auction was held in a building in the backyard of the Treasure Cabinet.
Perhaps it was because he was afraid that someone would make trouble, or maybe he was worried that there were other things that would affect the normal holding of the auction, and the gate of the Treasure Pavilion was now under martial law many times more than usual.
On both sides of the gate, there are more than ten black-clothed people with swords and swords, and the word "Tang" is written on the clothes.
Obviously, the black-clothed people on duty outside the door are all children of the Tang Sect.
Murong Yu followed the crowd to the entrance, and a guard stepped forward to stop him.
"Shaoxia stopped, today's Treasure Pavilion has been suspended due to an important auction. If the young man is in need, please come back another day. The guard said as he pointed to a sign at the door, which clearly stated that it was closed.
Murong Yu didn't speak, but just took out the admission ticket from his arms and showed it to the guards in front of him.
As soon as the guards saw the admission ticket, they no longer blocked it, and hurriedly hid to the side, gave way to Murong Yu, and hurriedly said politely, "Young man, please come in." ”
Murong Yu relied on the admission ticket and walked into the hall very easily.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he was greeted by a maid of the Treasure Pavilion dressed in white, and asked very politely: "Is the guest officer participating in the auction? ”
"Yes, I'm here for the auction. Murong Yu responded, and hurriedly handed the admission ticket in his hand to the maid in front of him as he spoke.
After receiving the admission ticket, the maid was not surprised, and obviously had already seen the surprise, and stretched out her hand to lead Murong Yu forward, "Guest officer, please come with me." ”
Murong Yu followed, passed through a long pavilion, turned a few more corners, and walked into a huge room.
The room is large, like a huge square, with about three floors on top of each other. The higher you go, the more it represents the extraordinary status, and the top layer is not something that ordinary people can go up to, and people who don't have a certain status, even if they have money, can't go up.
In the middle of the square is a grandstand where the steward who presides over the auction stands and holds every auction for everyone.
All the rooms are surrounded by a circle, and you can clearly see the scene in the central stand.
There were hundreds of tables and chairs in front of the stands, all obviously set up for this auction, and they were already full at the moment, and there were even quite a few people standing.
Since the auction has not yet begun, people who know each other get together and whisper and negotiate how to work together to get the items they want.
Everyone is bound to win, and everyone has a ghost.
Because Murong Yu had a top-level admission ticket, he didn't need to sit in the hall to watch the auction be held, so the maid took him directly to a room on the second floor, and there was a sign with the word "thirteen" hanging at the door of the room.
There is a guard standing at each door, on the one hand, to protect the safety of the people in the house, and on the other hand, to prevent being disturbed by other people, not only that, but the reason why this person is guarding the door is also to facilitate the VIP in the house to shout when the auction begins.
It is not difficult to guess that this "thirteen" is his identity in this auction, and this identity will follow him until the end of this auction.
After entering the room, the maid briefly told Murong Yu about the rules of the auction hall and the rules of bidding.
Since Murong Yu didn't come to auction items, he didn't listen carefully to what the maid was talking about.
"Guest, if there is nothing needed, I will step down first. The maid said very politely.
"Hmm. Murong Yu responded, he didn't look up, just looked at the list of items in this auction.
The maid quietly turned and retreated.
The list of items is detailed in the list of items, and every item on display in this auction includes calligraphy, painting, treasures, medicinal herbs, and exotic beasts.
Behind each item on the list, their function and attributes are clearly stated, and there is even a line of numbers, which also represents the lowest price of these items at each auction, which is also the starting price of bidding.
He was very strange, and it was not written on this list what the Tangmen Heavy Weapon was auctioned this time, not even a name, but only the words "Tangmen Heavy Weapon" were written, which was simple and direct, full of mystery but whetted people's appetites.
Obviously, this is the mystery of this auction, and it is the main reason why so many people come to this place from thousands of miles away.
All the people are here for this "Tang Gate Heavy Weapon", some people just want to come and have a look, some people want to take it for themselves, each has their own little abacus, although it is not introduced clearly, but everyone is also well aware, self-evident.
"Dang" With the sound of a crisp gong, the originally noisy auction hall suddenly fell silent.
"First of all, thank you all for coming from thousands of miles away to participate in this auction held by the Treasure Pavilion. I am Lin Ruolan, the manager of this auction, because the number of collections in this auction is too large, in order not to delay everyone's precious time, I will not introduce each collection in detail in this auction, and please look at the list of items in your hands, if you have a fancy to it, although direct bidding. Okay, so I won't go into any more nonsense, now let's start our first auction collection. A crisp and pleasant voice sounded, and you could tell that it was a beautiful woman just by smelling it.
Murong Yu looked down through the window, and saw a woman standing on the platform in the center, wearing a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist, wearing tulle, a waist like a plain, and her skin was like a condensed and delicate air.
"The first item of this auction is the hidden weapon stunt of "a pear flower pressing begonia" that is prevalent in the rivers and lakes, everyone sitting here is a martial arts person, about the power of this stunt, I don't need to say that everyone has already heard of it, and I will not be here to offer ugliness, the starting price is 50 taels of silver. Lin Ruolan said.
"50 taels of silver at a time. ”
"50 taels of silver twice. ”
"It seems that this collection is difficult to enter everyone's eyes, and if no one asks for a price, it can only be sold off. Lin Ruolan obviously didn't want the first collection to be sold off, so she deliberately said.
Obviously, the value of this collection is not worth fighting for, and everyone's attention is fixed on items that they have never seen before, or more rare, for fear that their money will be spent in those unnecessary places, wasting money and missing opportunities, and they have not paid attention to it at all.
"100 taels of silver. Murong Yu said out the window.
Murong Yu obviously wanted to get this stunt, although it was not a very powerful secret weapon stunt, and it was a bit of a chicken rib to say, but he still wanted to get it. Because he had nothing else in his hand except a set of sword tricks, and the bidding at the moment was not very high, he thought it was necessary to make a move.
When the guard outside the window heard this, he hurriedly shouted, "100 taels of silver." "I'm afraid I've missed it.
"VIP No. 13 is 100 taels of silver, and there is no higher bid, if not, this collection belongs to the VIP of room No. 13. Lin Ruolan hurriedly shouted.
