Chapter Forty-Eight: Hundred Machine Mines
"A month is too long, let's settle it now, two hundred and eighty gold!"
Baiya only raised money for the trip to Dongting Lake, and two hundred and eighty gold was more than enough, and there was no need to take out another copy of "A Line of Silicon Steps" in the mustard seed bag.
"Okay, does the guest officer want gold and silver in kind, or treasure money?" Hearing that the transaction was successful, the middle-aged steward was also a little excited, and he also had a commission.
The copper coins issued by the countries of Shenzhou are different, but gold and silver need to be circulated when trading large quantities of goods, so the purity of gold and silver issued by the countries is almost the same, and the slight differences are negligible.
As for the treasure banknotes, they are all kinds of banknotes issued by the government and money banks, although the general reputation is okay, and there are some gifts, but the circulation area is limited, and there are no money banks that can be exchanged for gold and silver in some places.
"Let's use a small amount of gold!" Bai Ya will go to Huashan next, so naturally he will not ask for treasure money.
Bai Ya put a plate of small gold ingots brought by the maid into a mustard seed bag, got up and wanted to go out, but the middle-aged steward suddenly stopped him and told him with a smile.
"Auction? You're only telling me there's an auction now?"
Bai Ya looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with strange eyes, he had just made a martial arts cheatbook, and the other party told him the news, wouldn't it be equivalent to cheating him?
"Don't be impatient, there's a reason why I'll tell you now!" The middle-aged steward understood what Bai Ya was thinking, and immediately lowered his voice to explain.
It turned out that this auction was not held in Wuling, but in Xiangyang before the New Year, and it was an underground auction that could not be seen, and many of the auction items were stolen goods.
The scale of the auction is relatively large, and it is a joint auction held by Shenwu Treasure Pavilion and other trading houses, so the participants must be regular customers, and at least have business dealings with more than 100 gold in these trading houses.
"This is a token of more than 100 gold that the guest official has traded in this store, and with this item can he enter the auction smoothly. The middle-aged steward took out a small jade plaque from his arms and handed it to Bai Ya, and said solemnly.
"It's just that if the guest officer is not interested, please don't tell others the tokens and news, otherwise the branches of the Shenwu Treasure Pavilion in various places will not do business with you in the future!"
Bai Ya looked at the jade card in his hand, this thing is estimated to be the same as the VIP card in the previous life. He had just made a deal worth millions of soft girl coins in the Shenwu Treasure Pavilion, and it was not strange that he could exchange this thing for it.
Originally, he was not interested in this kind of mundane underground auction, but after thinking about it, since he was out to practice and play, it would be better to see it.
"Do you have a list of auction items?" asked Bai Ya tentatively.
"Yes, but there are only items that our Shenwu Treasure Pavilion is going to participate in, and there is no list of items from other trading houses!" The middle-aged steward seemed to be waiting for him to ask this question, and took out a list of items from his arms with a smile.
Bai Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is called a businessman, just took out a few hundred gold, and here I am thinking of a way to get it back from your pocket.
"Jiugou Sword (Remnant Magic Weapon), Spider Dragon Wing Bone (Medium Grade), Hundred Barbarian Fist Method (Qi Realm Period Exercise), Huangjing Xuanyu (Medium Grade), Red Jingsan (Three Two) ......"
He glanced at the list of items and found that the things on it were quite rich, including magic weapons, exercises, materials, and pills. It's just that as expected, except for some materials, there is nothing finished for him.
Some medicinal materials and equipment can indeed refine the elixirs and magic weapons that he can use, but they are not all here, and it is too troublesome to collect them later.
With this kind of idle effort, he might as well go to the master to take on a few more meritorious tasks, and simply exchange the merits for finished magic weapons and pills.
The things on this list of items are more precious the further down they go, and Bai Ya is impatient to look at them all the same, so he simply skips the middle and looks below. When he saw the bottom item, he was finally stunned.
"This ...... You're not mistaken, right?" Bai Ya pointed to the names of the items on the list and turned his head to look at the middle-aged steward.
"No, I have confirmed with the owner several times, and he insists on writing this name!" The middle-aged steward saw what Bai Ya was pointing to, and his face twitched, and he said with an unnatural expression.
"You're really not afraid of death!" Bai Ya said with a chuckle.
"That, the identity of that owner is a bit special, so there should be no trouble!" the middle-aged steward smiled bitterly with some unconfidence, "What's more, this auction is not our family's business......"
"Interesting, interesting! Just for this name, I want to go to Xiangyang to see it!" Bai Ya laughed, pointed to the item on the list, and handed the list back to the middle-aged steward.
The moment the two changed hands, the name of the item on the list disappeared in a flash, as if it was written with three simplified small seals of the "Washing the Marrow Sutra".
"Washing the marrow Sutra" is the treasure of Shaolin Town Temple, when the Bodhidharma Patriarch saw many monks sitting quietly for many years, more static and less moving, the body lacks physiological balance and is not healthy, so he taught the monks the kung fu of fitness in Shaolin Temple, in order to promote the all-round development of their body and mind, thus leaving Shaolin 72 stunts.
The legend of the two scriptures of washing the marrow and the two scriptures of Yijin is that the Shaolin disciples searched from the relics after the death of the patriarch Bodhidharma, and it cannot be confirmed that they were created by Bodhidharma, so they are not included in the 72 stunts of Shaolin.
In fact, although the two classics of washing the marrow and Yi Jin are not included in the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, they are the basis of these martial arts. Shaolin Kung Fu is famous for its strong body and pure true qi, and its root lies in the two classics of washing the marrow and Yi Jin.
Legend has it that more than 1,000 years ago, there was a genius master who claimed to be knowledgeable and possessed a hundred martial arts skills to challenge Shaolin.
No matter what exquisite martial arts the martial arts master who came to challenge him, the Shaolin disciple who fought only used one of Shaolin's most basic Arhat fists to face the enemy, but this genius grandmaster still couldn't help him, and finally left in amazement.
Since then, the people of the rivers and lakes have said that "Shaolin martial arts crown the world, and Luohan boxing is better than ten thousand laws"!
But in fact, this statement is wrong, the root of that Shaolin disciple's real resistance to the enemy is not the basic boxing technique of Luohan boxing, but his indestructible Arhat true body.
And if you want to cultivate the true body of an arhat and the vajra body, the two sutras of washing the marrow and changing the tendons are compulsory exercises.
It can be seen that the importance of washing the marrow and changing the tendons is important to Shaolin!
But now, an underground auction organized by a private trading house actually took out the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" for auction, how can it not make people feel ridiculous.
Regardless of whether this marrow washing sutra is complete or fragmentary, this is the most fundamental secret of Shaolin martial arts. It's not a martial art that can be compared to the variant iron cloth shirt and the simplified version of Tianluo Hand.
If Shaolin really loses the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", or someone steals some of it, even if it is a joint attack by the martial arts of the world, those great monks are estimated to dare to be tough and tough.
Zen Shaolin is the first of the four major temples in Shenzhou, and its strength is stronger than Qingcheng, and the entire Shenzhou is estimated to be on a par with Quanzhen and Wudang, so Baiya will say to his face that Shenwu Treasure Pavilion is looking for death!
It's not like this is how to sell things and play gimmicks!
However, the owner who had the ability to ask the Shenwu Treasure Pavilion to write the three words "Washing the Marrow Sutra" did succeed, and even aroused the curiosity of a disciple of a great sect like Bai Ya.
"Guest officer, if you really want to go to Xiangyang to attend the meeting, you can exchange some jade money in the shop. The middle-aged steward rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Because most of the things in the auction are more expensive, they are not traded in gold, but in our special jade money......"
Bai Ya looked at the middle-aged steward and was speechless for a while, the emotional family was waiting here, but they didn't want him to take the gold out of the house.
"How do you exchange that jade coin? How much gold do you exchange for one?"
"Ten taels of gold each, you see, this is it!" The middle-aged steward took out a delicate jade coin from his arms and handed it to Bai Ya to look at.
This kind of jade coin is similar to the Qin Guoyuan coin, but there is no hole in the middle, the jade surface is clear and transparent, and the texture is special, but it is difficult to forge.
"There should also be an exchange at the Xiangyang venue, right?" Baiya's gold still wanted to keep the expenses, and he didn't want to take it out like this.
"Yes, there is also an exchange there, but if you exchange it directly at the small shop, I will give you a gift of three percent!" said the middle-aged steward with a smile.
The three-percent bonus is one hundred taels of gold more than three taels, and there are tens of thousands of soft sister coins, which is indeed a big discount.
"Let me see your list of items again......" Bai Ya thought for a moment, and suddenly a thought came to him.
Originally, he just wanted to go and see the excitement, but if the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" really has the effect of cutting bones and washing the marrow, whether it is related to the original version or not, it seems to be worth a shot.
Baiya's current mixed yuan iron cloth shirt has been trained into five layers (strong skin, solid meat, strong muscles, strong bones, and blood exchange), which is just stuck in the sixth layer to wash the marrow.
In order to save Zeng Xian in Langzhong, he once took blood as a medicine, and at that time he swallowed half a Jiuwei Qingcao pill, which greatly contributed to the progress of marrow washing. But now only the limbs have been successfully replaced, and the torso will take several years.
If you can save a few years of time, Bai Ya will not be stingy with some things outside the body.
It's just that with his current value of only a few hundred taels of gold, there is no way to bid with others, and it seems that he still needs to get some capital.
In this way, it is necessary to sell the "First-line Silicon Step" and some pills on his body.
However, the cheats of "A Line of Silicon Steps" on his body are much more precious than "Tianluo Hand", in case "Washing the Marrow Sutra" is just a gimmick, he will lose a lot. So let's take a look at the list of Shenwu Treasure Pavilion again, and see if there are any things you need.
Looking at the list of auction items for the second time, Bai Ya looked much more carefully, and finally found a few things that could be used on it.
"How powerful are these 100 machine thunderbolts compared to thunderbolts?" he asked the middle-aged steward as he nodded to one item on his list.
"Baiji Lei is a firearm produced by Baiji Pavilion, and there are also top, middle and low quality, and the power of the same quality is several times greater than that of the Thunderbolt, and the price is lower. The middle-aged steward glanced at the list and replied skillfully.
"It's powerful, but the price is low, why is that?" Bai Ya asked puzzled.
"Because the thunderbolt is only the size of a marble, it can be used as a hidden weapon for people, while the hundred machine thunder is the size of an ordinary person's fist, and can only be used as a firearm against large-sized brute beasts. The middle-aged steward said a word, and then smiled and said nothing, letting Bai Ya understand it himself.
