Chapter 948: The Great Auction
When Cheng Yixue heard this, she looked stunned, and secretly said that the old man must want to inquire about his specific origin, but he was not afraid, and after Lang laughed, he replied: "Cheng is from overseas, Huludao." ”
"Huludao? The old man has really never heard of it, but if a monk like a debut friend can make a debut, he must be an outstanding person. Lou Changsu looked stunned, and couldn't help but say.
And the so-called Huludao, of course, Cheng Yixue is full of nonsense; there are many desert islands overseas; Cheng Yixue said this, even if Lou Changsu doesn't believe it, he can only doubt it, and can't be sure; after all, he has never been to all overseas places.
"Haha, Daoyou is serious, it's just a ruined place, if Daoyou comes overseas again, you can go to Huludao for a visit. Cheng Yixue said with a chuckle, looking unharmed.
Lou Changsu naturally knew that Cheng Yixue was polite, and he didn't take it seriously, but after smiling slightly, he asked again: "Then I don't know if you know Lin Juze?"
"Lin Juze, who is this person? I've never heard of it before!" Cheng Yixue replied suspiciously.
"Yes, when the old man met this person, he once told me that there are often people overseas who list him in the four major loose cultivators, since Cheng Daoyou doesn't know this person, he must have deceived the old man. Lou Changsu looked at Cheng Yixue and replied with a smile, and after speaking, Lou Changsu walked into the house with the support of the girl.
Cheng Yixue's expression sank suddenly after hearing his words, and he never thought that Lin Juze, whom Lou Changsu mentioned, turned out to be one of the four major scattered cultivators, about the four major overseas scattered cultivators. Cheng Yixue naturally knew, and heard that it was four monks with strong overseas supernatural powers, and any of them had supernatural powers above the middle of the Yuan Infant. Overseas, it is highly respected.
Lou Changsu mentioned this person, the intention was nothing more than to test Cheng Yixue's true origin, looking for his previous smiling expression, I am afraid that there is some suspicion, but Cheng Yixue is helpless, after all, this person is a monk in the late Yuan Dynasty. After Cheng Yixue secretly scolded the old fox, she left Tianxiangju.
Walked on the noisy street again, the destination where Cheng Yixue went. Naturally, it was the place where the big auction was held, but because a few days ago, he saw the figure of the ancient demon in Longjing City, which made Cheng Yixue very frightened at the same time. He began to be cautious again.
So. After leaving Tianxiangju, Cheng Yixue walked to a remote corner, and after performing the technique of body transformation, he changed his appearance before he walked into the crowd in a grand manner.
Cheng Yixue is a scholar, wearing a Confucian hat, about 30 years old, holding a Xuanling treasure fan, looking like a literati, strutting his head. It also attracted the attention of several mediocre women on the street
However, Cheng Yixue naturally did not take these to heart. After checking the nearest route from the city map, he headed straight for the middle of Longjing City.
There are two conspicuous places at the location of the first auction, one is Feiyan Lake, and the other is the Xiuyuan Temple; it only took half an hour for Cheng Yixue to come to the center of the city.
Looking at it, I saw that in the middle of the city, there was a huge lake, with a radius of dozens of miles, the clear water was rippling, the lake grass was abundant, and on the shore of the lake, there were some ancient trees, swaying and swinging, rippling out a trace of green air, soaked in a lake, ripples suddenly, and spread to the tall boat painting boat.
Occasionally, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of clever laughter; Cheng Yixue looked along the dark sides of the lake, and saw that some people who admired each other had already strolled along the lake, or snuggled up, or confided, so as not to be envied; in addition, many tower-like corner frames were also erected, and various colored flags were hung on the shelves.
In addition, on the shore of the lake, there are already many monks who have set up stalls here, and when they look around, they see that the main items sold in these stalls are all kinds of lanterns, and the people who set up these stalls have different cultivations, and Cheng Yixue even found a monk in the middle of the Yudan period selling lanterns.
However, Cheng Yixue heard that there must be a certificate to sell lanterns here, and this order is auctioned by the Yuhong Palace, and the location is finally demarcated and a stall is set up; in fact, this is also jointly organized by the Yuhong Hall and the Holy Gate to obtain profits; and the people who often come here to sell lanterns are mainly low-level monks, and there are very few high-level monks.
※※※
At this moment, it was daylight, but a large number of monks had already begun to buy some bright lanterns, and then wrote some words on the imperial lot, placed them in the lake, and let the lanterns float away with the current
The materials used to make these lanterns are quite novel, and there are many rosettes, so they can go with the water, but the lights in them are made of a unified special lamp oil, and in the rumors of the Celestial Dragon Empire, any lantern can drift to the other side before the lantern is extinguished, and the long-cherished wish will be realized.
Cheng Yixue looked at the actions of some monks by the lake in a daze, and there was a little confusion in her eyes for no reason, but in the end, she pulled the corners of her mouth and walked straight forward.
There are two ways to cross the Feiyan Lake: one is to hire a small boat, and the other is to cross the rope bridge, Cheng Yixue chose the second way, and on the bridge, just halfway through, you can see the scene on the other side.
Cheng Yixue immediately affirmed that it was the Yuhong Palace; on the top of the mountain not far away, there was a temple, only to see that although the temple was not big, it was glazed tiles, and the treasure was solemn; on the periphery of the peak, a stone wall was broken, and on the stone wall, two big characters of Xiuyuan were printed with cinnabar.
As soon as Fang saw this, Cheng Yixue knew that this was the Xiuyuan Temple; Speaking of which, there were many bizarre things that this Xiuyuan Temple could be built here; the Xiuyuan Temple was built about a thousand years ago; in this Longjing City, it was originally the imperial capital, and the Holy Gate was also located near this place, so this city was also the sphere of influence of the Confucian Sect, and no external sect forces could enter.
However, a thousand years ago, a very bizarre thing happened, that is, a monarch at that time, on the way to govern, chose the idea of becoming a monk in the world, although the specific reason is unknown, but such a thing did happen.
The king of a country, is not comparable to ordinary people; he dominates the empire of Nuoda, and the literati are all based on it; therefore, it is inconvenient for the Holy Gate to interfere a lot, and the monarch is a monk, so he naturally cannot choose an ordinary temple, and after several measurements, the Holy Gate is in the city, and built the temple of Xiuyuan today.
At that time, this temple was just a meaningless place, which could be regarded as the monarch's palace, but later, after thousands of years of development, the temple was a good place for many people who believed in Buddhism to worship near Zhongzhou.
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that after the Holy Gate built the Temple of Cultivation, it had more contacts with many Buddhist and Taoist sects in the Tianlong Empire; because the Holy Gate, the Buddhist Gate, and the Taoist Sect were very different from the Demon Dao cultivation techniques; therefore, the Holy Gate, the Buddhist Gate, and the Taoist Sect have always been at odds with the Demon Dao, and for many years, they have tried their best to suppress the Demon Dao Sect.
In fact, a long time ago, under the leadership of the Holy Gate, in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, a three-legged trend of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism was formed; however, because the Demon Dao Exercises were extremely domineering, and they had been handed down since ancient times, with a profound heritage; even if the three parties were united, they could not contain the Demon Sect, and the Demon Dao Sect seemed to have awakened in this sacred land of cultivating immortals after the decline of the ancients, and it was developing at an incredible speed, and among them, especially the top ten Demon Sects today.
And these things, Cheng Yixue knew all of them when he heard Yuyang Jun tell about the strange things of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and for him, it was just an anecdote, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.
At this time, Cheng Yixue had already walked to the shore, and the previous scene was seen more clearly; after his eyes swept over the Xiuyuan Temple, Cheng Yixue saw a huge square gant, from which the gimmicks extended a wide road for about two or three miles, and at the end of the road, there was a splendid flower bed.
From the edge of the flower bed, looking around, I saw a large square, in the square, the flow of people was dense, but everyone was almost walking in one direction; Cheng Yixue knew that this was the place where the big auction was held, and these people must have gone to participate in the auction, so Cheng Yixue had gone to the crowd many times before, just silently with the flow of people
On the ground, it is paved with bluestone, and after more than 100 stone stairs, I can see that there are many round piers on the ground, and on many round piers, there are already monks sitting; in the forefront, there is a high platform built with white marble, and on the high platform, there is a table of black wood.
After Cheng Yixue entered the auction hall, she glanced at it casually, picked an inconspicuous round pier in the corner, and then sat down.
After waiting for a long time, I saw a person walking on the escalator on the side of the high platform, and I saw that his whole body was shining with white light, and he was looming, it was on the escalator, but one step away, it seemed to cross a distant interval, and the next moment, the whole person appeared in front of the wooden table.
After Cheng Yixue saw this, her pupils couldn't help shrinking, and in her mind, she couldn't help but think of Bai Ruoyi in the past; this kind of escape technique was very similar to Bai Ruoyi's earth shrinking technique, which was extremely difficult; however, it seemed that there was a difference; Bai Ruoyi's escape technique seemed to be much stronger than that of the people on the high platform.
At this time, Cheng Yixue took a closer look at the figure on the high platform, but saw that he was born relatively young, about forty years old, wearing a Confucian robe, using a bamboo hairpin to tie up his gray hair, and there was a majesty hidden under a dove face, and the spiritual pressure of his whole body was not hidden, he was a monk in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty.
Cheng Yixue was secretly shocked, she couldn't imagine that the abbot's auction was actually such a person with advanced cultivation; secretly said that this holy gate was worthy of being the person who ruled the entire empire and cultivated national arts; thinking about it, there was no shortage of Yuanying monks.
