"There are clouds in ancient books: there is a Tianzhu country in the west, it is a prosperous place for Buddhism, the people are not greedy or killed, and they nourish the hidden spirit, although there is no supreme truth, everyone has a solid life, but it is a pity that it is far away from my Middle Earth, and there are more majestic mountains and rivers, and the countries of the Western Regions are blocked, and people do not know its details!

Today, there is a scholar Wu Qian, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, bravely fighting rain, snow, wind and frost, the ambition of Libanchao, and the festival of Su Wu, which lasted eight years, traveled more than 20,000 miles alone, traveled to the countries of the extreme west, visited the customs and customs, and brought back dozens of rare and exotic objects and Buddhist treasures!

On the 22nd of this month, in the south of the city, a grand auction will be held in the Wanbao Building, and I hope that all the adults and monks will come, and abandon the dung and the treasures in exchange for the fateful treasures, and do not miss the opportunity for a thousand years! ”

………………

In just a few days, the magnates, gate valves, and high-ranking monks of Xuchang City ...... They all received a gilded invitation, and the content shocked their jaws, and someone traveled to Tianzhu and came back safe and sound?

The Han family is no stranger to the West, as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the envoy Zhang Qian made two missions to the Western Regions, bringing back garlic, walnuts, grapes, pomegranates, broad beans, alfalfa...... More than a dozen kinds of plants, enriched the vegetable basket of the Chinese people, to the time of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Han army completely controlled the Tianshan Mountains, and set up the 'Western Regions Protectorate', governing more than 50 countries!

"Historical Records - The Biography of Dawan Lie" has a record: "The Han Dynasty is 12,000 miles to the west, there is a Daxia country, the climate is similar to Shu, and thousands of miles to the southeast, there is a country's body poison', also known as Tianzhu', Buddhism originated in Tianzhu, and then along the Silk Road, eastward into the Middle Earth!

In the years that followed, the Han family had been thinking about Tianzhu and wanted to send a large army to ............ No, it's a 'peace messenger' to take a look, legend has it that Tianzhu is a fertile land, rich in gold, ivory, spices, and rice, but the people are dark and thin, and have a gentle personality, and can only be a monk chanting scriptures, and will not go into battle!

It's a pity that Tianzhu is too far away, and there are mountains and rivers to block it, this wish has not been realized, and then Wang Mang usurped the country, the Central Plains fell into a melee, and the Western Regions also collapsed......

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Empire has become a pot of porridge, the small countries in the Western Regions are also fighting, and the Silk Road has been cut off.

At this time, someone suddenly announced in a high-profile manner that he had traveled 20,000 miles westward, chiseled through the countries of the Western Regions, found the legendary Tianzhu, and fulfilled the dream of the Han family for hundreds of years.

"Wu Zhen is a person, he was unknown before, but this time he is a blockbuster!"

"I heard that this person lives in the Wuchou Mansion and is treated as a guest of honor by Da Sima, it doesn't look like a fake, he really arrived in Tianzhu!"

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, go to Wanbaolou in a few days to see, won't the truth be revealed, see if he is a hero who travels thousands of miles alone, or a liar who deceives the world and steals his name!"

………………

The magnates are crazy, looking around for Wu Qian, what are their strange skills, they can climb the mountains and rivers, and travel alone to Tianzhu Country, isn't it more powerful than Zhang Qian and Ban Chao?

The monks are also crazy, the Buddhists originated in Tianzhu, and then because the road was too far away, they cut off contact with each other, and the invitation made it clear that Wu Zhen traveled to Tianzhu and brought back the treasures of Buddhism, what is it?

Some people also expressed suspicion that Tianzhu is more than 20,000 miles away, and there are unattainable snow-capped mountains, deserts with no grass, and alien races that lead beasts to eat people...... How can Wu Zhen get by, nine times out of ten he is a big liar!

When Xu Fu sailed out to sea, he also claimed to have discovered Penglai Immortal Island, under the guise of seeking elixir, deceived countless treasures from the hands of the first emperor, and took 3,000 boys and virgins to go overseas to live happily.

………………………………

On the 22nd day of February in the spring of the 11th year of Jian'an, the day of the auction of treasures arrived, and the magnates, wealthy merchants, and high-ranking monks who received the invitations ...... Dressed in gorgeous costumes, sitting in luxury carriages and horses, some with wives and children, they all converged to the south of the city!

After Xuchang became the capital, all industries prospered, wealth gathered, and the population continued to increase, exceeding 400,000, the original urban area was a little insufficient, in order to compete for shops, residences, roads, there were often fights, and many people died!

In the eighth year of Jian'an, after Cao Cao's triumphant Northern Expedition, he ordered a large acropolis to be built fifteen miles south of the city:

First, soldiers and horses can be stationed to echo the main city and enhance Xuchang's defense capability!

Second, the relocation of many shops has alleviated the population pressure in Xuchang, and housing prices have also decreased, which is conducive to improving people's livelihood!

Third, the Acropolis is close to Yingshui, and the use of waterway transportation makes it more convenient to collect and distribute materials, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone!

The eastern part of the Acropolis is a commercial area - business travel, shops are numerous, the largest of which is Wanbaolou, which has many commodities, known as the number of 10,000 kinds, and its owner is Jixian County-Liang's!

Liang Xiaoyu and Xiao Yi are friends of life and death, and Wu Zhen lives in the Wushou Mansion, so people secretly speculate that this heavy treasure auction conference has something to do with Da Sima!

Thinking about it further, Wu Zhen's westward trip to Tianzhu may have been funded and sponsored by Xiao Yi, this great Sima Zhi is as deep as the sea and bold, and he has always thought that others dare not think about it, and he dare not do it for others!

"General Che Cai, Marquis of Lecheng Township - Lord Cao Zilian has arrived!"

"Shang Shufu shot, Boping Pavilion Marquis - Lord Huaziyu has arrived!"

"The host of Duobao Temple - Tongqian Zen Master, the first seat - Yinyuan Zen Master has arrived!"

…………

In front of the gate of Wanbaolou, the traffic is busy, crowded and immovable, there are not only dignitaries, but also virtuous monks, and the worst is also the local tyrants on the rich side, all with a large number of entourage, and carrying heavy boxes!

I have been notified before, the dozens of heavy treasures in this auction, only gold, silver, jewelry, these hard currency, if you are shy in your pocket, or want to make an IOU, please do not open your mouth!

"Haha, gold bars and ingots, please ...... No, it's all the adults and monks, please, the price of Wanbaolou is fair, and the children are not bullied, so everyone will be satisfied! ”

Liang Xiaoyu stood in front of the door to greet the guests, already smiling from ear to ear, in his little mung bean eyes, there were not human shapes, but countless gold, silver and jewelry......

Wanbao Building is not a building, but a large building, covering an area of more than 100 acres, the auction hall is only a part of it, divided into two floors, the whole into a round shape!

In the center of the first floor is the auction round table, with a diameter of about three zhang, surrounded by black gauze on all sides, you can't see the situation inside, and there are stepped seats around, densely packed and layered, at least four or five thousand seats!

Liang prepared sumptuous wine and food to entertain the guests, all of whom were carefully prepared delicacies, wine that had been cellared for more than ten years, and a large group of beautiful and well-trained maids, as long as the guests made a gesture, they immediately ran over to serve!

This time, more than 3,000 people came, including many members of the imperial court, including Kong Rong, Wang Lang, Man Chong, and Mao Jue...... There are generals such as Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Zhang He, but the most conspicuous is a large group of bald monks!

The presiding officers of the major temples in Xuchang, the first hundreds, some of them also brought their cronies and disciples, all of them were dressed in robes, bald heads, and the divine light and the monks of the first ring were among them, but they were sitting far away, with a posture that was incompatible!

The incense of the major temples is prosperous, and countless money has been gathered, and among the guests, they are not the largest, but the financial resources are the most abundant!

The space on the second floor is slightly smaller, and it is divided into dozens of private rooms, some are pitch black, some are lit up, and the door is covered with a thin black veil, only a figure can be seen shaking, but I don't know the true face of Lushan!

Those who can sit in the attic room are the top magnates, as for how high it is, just look at the general of the chariot - Cao Hong, they can only sit in the lobby on the first floor, and they will know the identity of the guests on the second floor!

When I entered the Acropolis just now, some sharp-eyed people saw that there were many cars and horses parked at the back door of Wanbaolou, including the convoy of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the convoy of the Marquis Mansion...... It seems that there is also a fleet of palace cars!

The Prime Minister has a lot of opportunities, it is estimated that he will not participate in the auction, there are several sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion who come, but the Cao family brothers are not harmonious, they must each occupy a private room, next month is Mrs. Bian's fiftieth birthday, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang are also back!

Needless to say, the Wuwu Hou Mansion must have poured out of the nest, Da Sima's wife, lover, children, apprentices, sisters, and sisters-in-law...... At least dozens of people, it is estimated that they will occupy four or five private rooms, but no one dares to say anything, because all the properties of the Liang family have Xiao Yi's private shares!

The owner of the palace car, the identity is a bit playful, the traitor coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the royal family has been under house arrest, and there are very few people who can get out of the imperial city, if it is not the eldest lady of the Cao family, it is Princess Haiyan!

"Ding! --Bite! Bite! ”

On the throne, the auction began, and four boys in Tsing Yi came to the stage and ripped open the black cloth on the periphery, and there were no people or treasures inside, but a cowhide map was hung high!

The map is two zhang long, one zhang and five feet wide, the vast Han Empire only occupies a corner of the southeast, and there are Dongying, Fuyu, Goguryeo, Xiongnu, Dawan, Wusun, and Daxia around it...... Dozens of countries and tribes, Tianzhu is just in the southwest corner, close to a vast ocean!

There is a red line starting from Chang'an, going west through Tianshui, Wuwei, Dunhuang into the Western Regions, through the vast desert, and then turning south for seven or eight thousand miles, over a large area of snow-capped mountains, and finally reaching the Tianzhu country!

"Oh my God--it's really Tianzhu Kingdom, and there is also the Great Xia Kingdom!"

"Boundless Gobi, rolling yellow sand, 20,000 miles away, how did this Wu Zhi go?"

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that there are people with hearts, Buddhism can be introduced from Tianzhu to Middle Earth, why can't Middle Earth people set foot in Tianzhu?"

………………

The magnates and monks present are all literate and knowledgeable social elites, and they instantly understood this 'map of thousands of miles to the west', and they also believed in Wu Qian's arrival in Tianzhu!

If you hadn't traveled more than 20,000 miles in person, you wouldn't have been able to draw such a detailed map, and what shocked people even more was that the Han Empire, which was thousands of miles long, was less than one-fifth of the map, and from the traces, there were still many countries in the west.

In the exclamation of everyone, Wu Zhen, who was newly decorated and magnificent, stepped onto the auction table, accompanied by Liang Xiaoyu...... A shocking 'scam' has begun!
