February 27th, cloudy with rain.
Mu Qingyun lifted the curtain of the carriage and admired the scenery that became increasingly lush under the gentle spring rain.
"Is Huang Siping miserable?"
Mu Qingyun thought about it and realized it was quite miserable.
A white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift. The world is miserable and can be ranked among the top three.
However, after all, she was not in an era of affluence. Living in the present day, many people had to die from the death of their fathers and mothers since they were young. Several children had to die before it was their turn to die.
And this is actually pretty good.
How many people are lonely all their lives, unable to start a family or raise children.
Those who were drowned in water, those who died due to earthquakes, and those who died in the mouths of monsters.
Mu Qingyun checked the information before coming to this era and found it horrifying.
She worked hard to practice martial arts, worked hard to learn and memorize the martial arts of various schools, and worked hard to help others, but she knew that although the future was bright, the road to the light was filled with blood and withered bones.
Like everyone else, she had to step on the flesh and blood of these innocent, ordinary people and try to climb up.
"Huang Siping's son is dead. Does this have anything to do with the liar?"
Mu Qingyun frowned.
Situ Qingshuang shook his head: "It was not in the confession."
Huang Siping said a lot of things in a mixed manner and indifferently. It seemed that he said everything. But if you look closely, you will find that he only didn't say why he helped the liar.
"No matter what, he hopes this liar can achieve his goal."
…
The rain was pouring, neither heavy nor stopping.
To the east of Qu County, outside Zhuangyuan Bridge.
The empty field next to the Zhuangyuan Building has been filled with horse-drawn carriages, and some old and young men pulling rickshaws are sitting on the side of the road enjoying the cool weather.
Zhang Ji picked up a small hammer and hammered the small wooden plaque of huanghuali on the wall of the Zhuangyuan Building.
Seeing that it was going to rain, he had to go faster.
This time the auction venue was chosen in this Zhuangyuan Building, which is adjacent to Yaowu City and Leizhou Mansion. I don’t know what the owner has in mind.
There was a burst of noise in the building. More than half of the people were already sitting on the first floor, including several experts.
The head of the house only left him the one who could do a few hits, and the rest were all ordinary people hired on a temporary basis.
Zhang Ji thought for a moment. Their leader was very stable. Several elders in the pavilion were visibly upset. Only the leader was as stable as a rock. Regardless of what he thought, he would probably not cause too much trouble to the point where he would let himself go. Waiting for someone to miss that mouthful of food.
In the past two years, Ange's business has been better than before. After all, the world has changed. The imperial court has begun to control the martial arts and respect the people of Jianghu.
The people in the world seem to have become more polite and no longer need secret chambers to conduct shady business.
The elders were very worried about this, but their little pavilion master just spread his hands and said: "In the worst case, I will sell sex, so you won't starve to death."
Everyone: "..."
That's really not necessary, their secret business will never be out of business.
There are always some things that cannot be seen.
While I was thinking wildly, there was a commotion in the building.
The auction on the stage finally reached its highlight.
Zhang Ji hurriedly climbed down from the ladder and quietly looked up at the lady-in-law sitting generously on the railing on the second floor.
Some colleagues in the secret cabinet secretly criticized Yue Nuxia, saying that she was not like a master.
Whoever said this is an idiot.
Do they know what a master is?
Regarding the environment in the building, the group of people sitting at attention on the first floor should not be underestimated. Some of them have evil spirits that make their scalp numb just by looking at them.
Everyone was very nervous, but she was on the second floor, tapping the rhythm on the railing with one hand, holding a tea cup with the other hand, her eyebrows were relaxed, her expression was comfortable, she was calm and composed, how many people could do it?
If the Sword God can do it, he can do it with all the destiny in the world, even with half a step.
Doesn’t this mean Yue Nuxia is the best among masters?
The auctioneer raised his hand and Mu Qingyun stood up.
His voice was neither slow nor fast, just like the rhythm he had spoken countless times before, without any fierce tone.
The dark pavilion has always been like this.
"What we are auctioning now is Yuncheng Martial Arts Hall, Yue Qingqing, and Yue Nuxia's belongings. Yaowu Library - There are 300 gold membership cards in total. In the first round, 50 will be auctioned."
With such a calm voice, everyone downstairs immediately pricked up their ears.
"Card holders have priority to borrow three volumes of "Studying Martial Arts from Scratch" from Yaowu Library."
"Now show the books."
A dozen women in plain robes, holding dozens of pages of books spread out in their hands, slowly walked past many warriors.
For a moment, the building was completely silent.
The warriors at the front stood up all of a sudden, and the waiter holding the book page was so frightened that his feet softened. The warriors were struggling to hold him up, but they reached for the book page.
"I don't even recognize these characters, ah, what's the point of writing this!"
There were several warriors whose eyes were glued to the pictures and beads of sweat rolled on their foreheads. For the first time, they hated themselves for not living up to expectations and not paying attention to reading and literacy. Even now they can only write a few words such as their own names.
But even if I didn't know the words, I was fascinated by just looking at the pictures.
Several people who were dubious about this and very reserved now did not care about saving face and greedily read page after page.
It’s simply ten thousand times better than imagined!
Where is the Wuhu Soul-Severing Knife and other low-maintenance techniques? This is obviously more surprising than the secretive and bottom-of-the-box techniques of famous sects.
Most of the martial artists present are those who have practiced hard and have a high pursuit of martial arts. They are knowledgeable and can naturally see the value of this secret book.
Suddenly there were sobbing sounds.
People who have never truly embarked on this path will probably never understand their feelings at this moment.
The auctioneer coughed several times, but the warriors still reluctantly gathered around these secret books, unwilling to let anyone take them away.
His eyes flickered, and the auctioneer looked up at the stairs, and then backstage. When he regained his senses, he stopped pressing and continued: "The starting price is ten cents, and the maximum price is thirty cents. I declare-"
"Thirty cents!"
"Thirty cents!"
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, there were shouts from downstairs, and countless people kept banging the gongs around them.
The sound of the gong was deafening.
The warriors took out their money bags and threw money on the stage. Some of the impatient ones didn't even take out the money and just threw their money bags out.
[In view of the general environment,
At this time, no one thought about the previous rumors.
Yue Qingqing is just a Hu Nongren. He doesn't mean it at all. He just wants to trick the liar into a trap and deliberately disrupts the auction.
The so-called secret book written by her is just a gimmick, incomplete, and cannot be practiced at all. This is a joke, otherwise how can it only cost thirty coins?
So what if he deliberately seduced the liar? So what if it's a gimmick?
Don't you even dare to take this risk?
Then what kind of martial arts do they practice?
Even if it's just for the dozens of pages of moves on red silk, not to mention thirty coins, three thousand coins is a huge profit!
