Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 302 The Secret Auction

"So, it's due to the intensification of their internal conflicts." Zheng Wei pondered, he had a plan in his mind, originally he planned to ask about the situation and give advice and comfort, and he would give advice if there were any difficulties.After all, he is in charge of intelligence affairs, so it is not reasonable to go on like this.

Hearing what Xu Qingwan said now, he has completely dispelled this idea. He is afraid that this kind of internal struggle will be avoided, so how can he get himself involved.Back then, he had no choice but to agree to Du Yuankai's monitoring of Tangning, but he regretted it too much. He was a little guilty, and when this happened, he avoided it like a snake.

Xu Qingwan said: "We shouldn't intervene in this matter and talk too much. No matter how patient you are, things will always be resolved."

Zheng Wei nodded and said: "I know, this is a game between them. The Tang Immortal Envoy did this to express his protest and for the people of the Shangzong. I heard that the Du Immortal Envoy came back a month ago. I don't know why?"

Xu Qingwan said: "I don't know about this either. Envoy Du talked with Immortal Tang alone for half a day, and then left. After a few days, the Emperor rejected the application file for Lingshi subsidy."

"Looks like the negotiation didn't work out!" Zheng Wei sighed. He knew that Du Yuankai and the people behind him were not in the same faction as Tangning. In terms of time, Du Yuankai must have come to negotiate at that time, but the result was that the negotiation collapsed. lead to such consequences.

"You mean, this time the Shangzong was uncharacteristically rejected the application for the subsidy of spirit stones at the station, because of Du Xianshi's interference? But the two of them got along very well before, and there was no conflict." Xu Qingwan frowned slightly in doubt road.

Back then when Du Yuankai left with the leftover Lingshi funds from the intelligence station, Tangning didn't pursue it. She knew about it, and the two of them got along well when they worked together, so in her opinion, the relationship between the two should be good of.

Zheng Wei said: "Whether there are conflicts or not can be seen on the surface? They are old and cunning, even if there are conflicts and hate each other's teeth itching, they will not tear their faces like casual cultivators, and they will speak evil words to each other, which is reflected in their colors."

"How do you know?"

Zheng Wei said: "Let me tell you the truth! It was Du Xianshi who said it himself. There was no personal conflict between him and Tang Xianshi, but the two were not on the same boat. There are also factions within the Qianyi Sect. People are not from the same faction behind Tang Xianshi, so when Du Xianshi was in office, the application for the Lingshi subsidy was very smooth."

"As soon as Immortal Tang took office, he was dismissed. It's good for you to know this matter secretly, and don't tell others, including Immortal Tang."

Xu Qingwan suddenly said: "So that's the case."

The two chatted for a long time. After Zheng Wei left his room, he left without looking for Tangning.

Qianyizong, Middle Finger Peak, Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion.

Du Yuankai sat opposite him, turned his left hand and took out a file and handed it to him: "This is from the people I arranged for the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. Since the Lingshi subsidy was rejected, Junior Brother Tang ordered to freeze all actions below. Funding applications. Several lurking, instigating infiltration plans have been stopped."

Lu Xingxian took the dossier, glanced at it, and snorted coldly: "This is a ring fight with me! Come with me, trying to force me to submit."

Du Yuankai said: "It's not an option to go on like this. How about I talk to him again? Take a step back."

"Retire? What bargaining chip does he have to make me retreat? Hmph, I'll see what waves he can make."

Du Yuankai was silent.

.....................

In the west of Bianjing City, in a barren mountain and secluded ridge, there is a dilapidated stone house.

From time to time, a ray of light fell in the midair, and after entering the stone house, there was no trace.

Near evening, when the setting sun was like fire, a ray of light flashed across the sky and fell outside the stone house, revealing the figure of a man, but he was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and he was wearing a black coir raincoat, covering his face and figure tightly. Reality.

A man in front of the stone house glanced at him, and then made a "please" gesture.

The man walked into the room, and saw a man and a woman standing at the left end of the room, with masks on their faces, they couldn't see their real faces clearly, both of them were in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

He walked forward, flicked his sleeve, and dropped a golden token the size of a palm, held it in his palm, and handed it to the man among them.

The man took the token and looked at it, his voice hoarse: "Don't know your friend's name?"

"Is there such a rule here?"

"The right to record."

"Tang Ru," said the visitor. This person was none other than Tangning.

He put down the work of the intelligence station and handed everything over to Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan, while he ran around looking for materials such as Ziyan stone, titanium gold, Huangxuan powder, and green manganese fluid, so that he could refine the corpse of the queen ant. Made into a spiritual weapon.

Since Lu Xingxian is determined to go his own way and insists on using the spirit stone subsidy to force himself to submit, then he doesn't care if he can't do his best, so he can simply be a shopkeeper and let it go.

In fact, he has dozens of ant eggs on his body, and it must be a good deal to exchange one ant egg for a subsidy of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the future.

The reason why he chose to fight to the end and made such an unwise move was mainly because he was not ashamed of his despicable means of oppressing others and taking plunder.

I took a great risk to get the ant eggs and finally got them. I also lost many spiritual weapons for this. In other words, this is my own chance. No matter how greedy others are, it is useless. This is the basic consensus in the practice world .

Why does Lu Xingxian think that he can get a share of the pie? Just because he is a deacon of the intelligence department, he is taking this name too seriously.

Even the head of the sect did not say this.

Tang Ning always valued peace when interacting with others, and rarely turned against others, even if he suffered a small loss, he didn't care too much.

But in the world, there are ninjas who can, and ninjas who can't.If this is tolerable, what is unbearable?

He has been in the intelligence department for so many years, even if he is not conscientious and conscientious, he is at least willing to bear the burden of hard work!He thinks that he already respects Lu Xingxian as a deacon, and goes all out for every task he assigns, so why should he give himself little shoes to wear.

Not to mention the bad things that Lu Xingxian rejected his application for foundation building before, but this time alone, he will never compromise.

Once you regress, you will really treat yourself as a soft persimmon in the future, and an ant egg will pop out today, and a spiritual weapon will pop out tomorrow.Wouldn't he never have peace?

Now that his face was torn, he simply ignored everything. Whoever likes to toss about the information station!Let's see what Lu Xingxian can do to himself.

In the past few months, he has traveled all over the city and the private shops of local families, and only found Ziyan Stone as a material.It was bought in a family shop in the southern part of the state of Wu, and it belonged to the shopkeeper's private collection. He bought it for three catties at the price of five thousand spirit stones.

The other three materials hadn't even been seen, so he had no choice but to turn his target to individual monks since he couldn't find them in shops.

The place where a large number of individual monks gather to trade is the auction. He inquired and collected information from many sources and learned that there is an auction here.

The auction is quite high-standard, and only monks above the Foundation Establishment Stage can participate. It is not known who organized it, but there are rumors that it was organized by members of the Chamber of Commerce in private.

Broken Ridge Mountain Square City holds an auction every four years, which is of an open nature, and all proceeds will go to the chamber of commerce.

And this kind of private organization is spontaneous by the members of the chamber of commerce, and all the benefits belong to themselves.

Not everyone is able to participate in this auction. They must first register at various secret sites and obtain their access tokens before they can participate in the auction. This is the golden plaque that Tangning just sold.

The man took the token, asked about Tangning's name, and handed him a stone plaque with the font size [-] written on both sides.

The woman pressed on the stone wall, and the stone wall opened with a loud bang, and moved to both sides, revealing a passageway that was ten feet wide.

Tangning took the stone tablet and walked in. The passage was about a hundred feet long. At the end, there was another tall and burly man standing beside him, also wearing a mask.

Tangning showed him the stone tablet. Without saying a word, the big man flipped it over in his hand, took out a red flag, and pointed at it.

The flag shot a red light and hit the ground, a big hole was opened in the ground, and a bluestone step appeared inside.

Tangning walked down the bluestone steps. The road got wider and wider. After turning a corner, she came to an empty basement room.There are two more men guarding at the end, both of them are wearing hoods, both of them are in the late stage of foundation establishment.

His heart trembled, just guarding the monks had reached the stage of the late stage of foundation establishment, and there might be Jindan monks sitting here.He walked forward, the two didn't ask any more questions, one of them took out the chess flag, and the stone wall opened.

Inside is a rather grand hall, twenty feet long and ten feet wide, with a round platform two feet high at the end, the whole hall is resplendent and magnificent.

The green glazed tiles flicker, the golden palace lanterns are colorful, and the white jade pillars are carved with beams and painted buildings, and the dragons and phoenixes are vividly engraved.

There were twenty or thirty people sitting scattered in the hall, all wearing masks or bamboo hats, so they couldn't see their real faces clearly.

Tang Ning walked to a remote corner and sat down. Turning her head to look, there were twenty-four people in the hall including him, exactly the number on his number plate, and they were all monks who had cultivated the foundation.

Several people have reached the stage of foundation establishment.

Undoubtedly, among these people there must be monks from the Taoist sect and the Demon sect, and under the auspices of this third-party force, they can coexist in the same room peacefully.

It is not yet the start time of the auction, and everyone is waiting.

As time passed, many people came to this hall one after another, looking for a place to sit. People who don't know each other basically keep a certain distance from others, and there are some acquaintances who sit side by side, all silent Without saying a word, I quietly waited for the auction to start.

Around You hour, there was a hole in the stone wall behind the round platform, and two people came out of it, wearing masks with horse faces and bull heads on their heads.

The bull-headed man opened his mouth and said in an old voice: "The time has come, this auction will begin, thank you fellow daoists for participating, this time as usual, we will choose Bianjing, Chu State for this auction, the next time, three years later , will be held in Huanjing, Qi State, and hope that all fellow Taoists can participate."

The horse-faced man interjected: "According to the usual practice, let me explain the auction rules so that fellow daoists who are participating in our auction for the first time don't know."
