Chapter 148: Auction
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu! The auction is still an hour away, so let's go! ”
The little Taoist priest who suddenly rushed into the courtyard was a disciple of the Wudang faction, and he also came to seek refuge in Dayuan, of course, in fact, this person was a spy of the Songshan faction, which Mu Xiaojiu had already discovered, but this young man didn't know that Mu Xiaojiu already knew his true identity.

Speaking of which, this person is also related to Mu Xiaojiu.
On September 23 last year, when Mu Xiaojiu was still being chased and killed by Bu Jingyun, he met Mr. Bai on the way and was recruited by him, and on the second day he got into the carriage, and on the carriage he met a disciple of the Huashan faction and a disciple of the Wudang faction because of who was more powerful than Feng Qingyang or Zhang Sanfeng.
The little Taoist priest in front of him was the little Taoist priest in the carriage that day.
Since he was put into Zhao Min's account, he has also come to Mu Xiaojiu's side many times to watch Mu Xiaojiu practice, and sometimes he even asked Mu Xiaojiu for advice. Although he had scolded Mu Xiaojiu for being a drunkard that day, he didn't think so now, because Mu Xiaojiu's martial arts were really far superior to him, even if he didn't have to learn, he was not Mu Xiaojiu's opponent.
Maybe it's also because the two often practice martial arts together, and this little Taoist priest really has a pure heart, so Mu Xiaojiu also likes this little Taoist priest very much, and often teaches him some martial arts principles.
"Okay, I know Wuzhen, you wait for me outside, I'll go out immediately." Closing the scroll in his hand, Mu Xiaojiu stretched his waist, and then asked the maid Lian'er on the side to help him bring the cloak with the collar of the white fox fur and drape it on his body.
Slowly walked out of the door, because the goose feather snow that fell overnight last night is still falling even now, so although the yard has been cleaned several times, there is still a layer of snow, stepping on it from time to time to make a "creaking" sound.
Wu Zhen was wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a sword on his back, and when he saw Mu Xiaojiu coming out, he hurriedly walked up and stood beside Mu Xiaojiu.
"Brother Mu, let's go, let's go to this auction, speaking of which, I have never participated in the auction in the Central Plains, and the master has never let me go, this time I can finally experience it."
Mu Xiaojiu raised his hand and knocked on Wu Zhen's head, and Wu Zhen felt a pain when he knocked it, and immediately hugged his head.
"Be cautious, the wall has ears, how many times have I told you, pay attention to your words and deeds, don't be too public, although the county lord won't do anything to you, but if the others in Dayuan find out that you are a spy, they won't necessarily do anything."
"Okay, got it......" Wuzhen rubbed the place where Mu Xiaojiu knocked him, with a look of grievance.
"Come on, didn't you say you wanted to inquire about what treasures would come up at the auction? Do you have any questions? Mu Xiaojiu asked casually, he knew that as soon as he talked about the auction, Wu Zhen would immediately get excited.
Sure enough, Mu Xiaojiu just started here, and Wu Zhen immediately talked endlessly.
"Brother Mu, let me tell you, I was a little disappointed when I first inquired, because I heard that there were no good things at the auction, all of them were ......."
……
Although it was snowing, but taking into account Mu Xiaojiu's body, Wu Zhen still resolutely chose to drive the carriage to take Mu Xiaojiu over, and along the way, Wu Zhen didn't dare to be too bumpy, so he could only drive the horse slowly forward, and when the two arrived at the auction site at the other end of the Yuan Dadu, there was less than a quarter of an hour left to leave.
These days, although Mu Xiaojiu has lived in the mansion most of the time and rarely shows up, his reputation has already spread throughout the entire Yuan Dadu, who is a person who is in the upper grade of the Yuan Dadu, who doesn't know that this young man who likes to wear green clothes, has a pale face, always holds a stove in his hand when he goes out, and wears a white fox fur collar cloak is now the big celebrity next to the lord of Shaomin - Mu Xiaojiu?
Yes, here Mu Xiaojiu just got off the carriage, and over there, the auction owner with excellent eyesight had already greeted him, "Yo, this is Mu Gongzi, there is a loss of distance to welcome and a loss of distance, you are also here to participate in our auction?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu smiled faintly, and arched his hand at the auction owner, "The shopkeeper, you are polite, you are indeed here to participate in the auction, and the tickets are in ......"
"Hey, Mu Gongzi has tormented the little old man." The auction owner waved his hand again and again, and smiled very kindly on his face, "Your Mu Gongzi is here, what other tickets do you need there?" On the second floor, there is a special seat for VIPs, and I will ask someone to lead you over. ”
Mu Xiaojiu didn't shirk either, just smiled and returned the salute, "So, it's better to be respectful than to obey." ”
Hearing this, the auction owner hurriedly beckoned to the side, and a young man who looked a little clever and dressed as a small guy trotted forward and saluted, "Boss, do you have any orders?" ”
"Go, lead these two sons to the VIP position upstairs, by the way, I heard that Mu Gongzi likes to drink, little old man, I happened to enter a batch of Biguang wine from the small drunken shrimp restaurant in Suzhou in the Central Plains a few days ago, if the son does not give up, I am willing to send ten catties, a catty for you to drink, a catty you will take back directly."
"Biguang Wine ......" Mu Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered himself when he first left Peach Blossom Island and stepped into Suzhou City.
After a while, Mu Xiaojiu came back to his senses, looked at the auction owner with a respectful face, and shook his head slightly, "The store doesn't need to be so polite, some upstairs can be drunk, but it's not necessary to take it back, I've been unwell recently, and it's inconvenient to drink more." ”
"Good, good!" The auction owner nodded vigorously, and then looked at the little guy next to him, "Don't you want to lead the way?" ”
……
"Brother Mu, your face is big!" As soon as Wu Zhen sat down, he gave Mu Xiaojiu a thumbs up.
Mu Xiaojiu shook his head and poured himself a glass of blue wine, "It's just a fox and a fake tiger, it's okay." ”
Drinking all the wine in the cup, savoring the soft and mellow aroma, Mu Xiaojiu couldn't help laughing, "Sure enough, it's the blue wine of Suzhou little drunken shrimp." ”
Wu Zhen looked at Mu Xiaojiu, who was intoxicated, with a strange expression.
Wuzhen is a game character, but a third-generation disciple of Wudang Mountain, who studied under Zhang Songxi, the fourth of the Wudang Seven Heroes.
Fatherless and motherless since childhood, growing up on Wudang Mountain, although Wuzhen, who is a Taoist scholar, likes to play by nature, has a strong sense of curiosity, and always wants to experience new things, but after all, he has been taught by Taoism since he was a child, so although he is extremely interested in this drinking group, he does not dare to try.
"What, Goku, don't you try?" Mu Xiaojiu looked at Wuzhen, who had a strange expression, and couldn't help but joke.
Wu Zhen wanted to try the blue light wine that made Mu Xiaojiu so intoxicated, but now he was provoked by Mu Xiaojiu's words, even if he picked up the wine glass, he hesitated several times, but put it down again, "Forget it, I won't drink it, I'm still three months away from turning sixteen, and when I get to twenty-eight, let's try the taste of wine again." ”
Mu Xiaojiu nodded slightly, and then stopped teasing Wuzhen.
"Everyone, look at it objectively, and next, today's auction is about to begin. Today's auction, a total of 23 exhibits, the low price is identified by my Dayuan treasure master, the further the exhibits, the higher the low price, of course, this auction will be free bidding, the highest price wins. It was a delicate woman dressed in white, whose voice was like the cry of a yellow warbler, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Next, the little woman will introduce you to this first exhibit." The delicate woman smiled skillfully, clapped her hands, and naturally there was a little guy behind her who presented the auction items, "This first exhibit is a sword, which was made by a Longquan swordsmith who imitated the ancient famous sword - Zhanlu, so this sword is called Chopping Lu." ”
"Next, the little girl will try the sword for you—" As she spoke, the delicate woman suddenly raised her hand and drew her long sword, her movements clean and neat, obviously with martial arts.
And the long sword, the whole body is silvery, the sword stem is full of horizontal stripes, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite; Moreover, this sword is equipped with a gold tassel sword spike, which instantly makes the sword a lot more luxurious. The person sitting in front of him saw that the sword of this sword could reflect the human face very clearly.
Immediately after, the woman took a piece of silk cloth from the hand of the servant holding the sword next to her, and then suddenly tossed it gently. After the silk cloth floated, the woman raised her sword horizontally, and the sword naturally stopped under the silk cloth.
When the silk cloth slowly fell and landed on the sword, the silk cloth was directly divided into two, without the slightest sense of lag.
"This sword, sharp, hard, but the texture is brittle, if you fight with the enemy, I am afraid that there is a risk of breaking, yes, the price of this sword is one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and each time the price increases, it shall not be less than ten taels."
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
"One hundred and seventy taels!"
Although it is said that this sword cannot be used to fight hard, in a sense, when people in the rivers and lakes use the sword, most of them will pour their own internal force into the long sword, so that with the support of internal force, the sword will not be easily broken.
Coupled with the fact that this sword is so sharp and the shape is gorgeous and exquisite, it will naturally attract the attention of a bunch of martial arts practitioners.
Even Mu Xiaojiu found that even Wu Zhen, who was sitting on the side, had a faint heat in his eyes.
"Gojin, do you like it?" Mu Xiaojiu asked softly.
Hearing this, Wu Zhen nodded, then hesitated for a moment, and shook his head again.
"The sword is beautiful, but I can't use it."
Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Oh, why don't you use it?" ”
"It's too gorgeous," Gojin sighed, "Moreover, I'm not refining kendo, on the contrary, I prefer fist and foot kung fu, if this sword is given to me, I'm afraid there will be fewer opportunities to get out of the sheath." ”
"Well, this sword is indeed gorgeous, and it is not suitable for a little Taoist like you." Mu Xiaojiu said with a snicker, causing Wu Zhen to be unhappy for a while.
Soon, this sword named Chopping Lu was bought by a black-clothed swordsman wearing a sunshade bamboo hat, and the final transaction price of this sword also reached three hundred taels, which was more than twice the reserve price.
