After sending Director Xie away, Ren Zhen locked himself in the study, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and only copied the sword scriptures.Time is money, and the situation in front of him is exactly what he says.In the few days when Ren Zhenbi walked the dragon and snake, the old man Li also moved over, and he still floated outside to tell stories during the day, and at night he regarded this place as an inn that did not cost money, eating and drinking.The Fengwutang henchmen he brought from the north, about twenty people, were scattered and planted around the Blowing Water House by him, closely monitoring this area to ensure that no one would approach and spy on him.In the outside world, the entire Chang'an set off an uproar.After discussing with Ren Zhen, the Xie family sent out invitations on the same day, inviting major wealthy forces to bid, and the news of the special auction spread far and wide, quickly causing a sensation in the city.From the princes and princes to the neighborhoods, the focus of heated discussions among the residents of the capital gathered in this auction.It is said that the invitation was accompanied by a roster listing all the items to be auctioned.And all of them, without exception, are sword scriptures.The shocking thing about this news is that there are so many inscrutable meanings hidden in it.The first is the auction item itself.The twelve sword scriptures on that roster are all famous, and all of them have extremely powerful power, and they are recognized by the world as the top sword scriptures.For example, the autumn frost roll, known as the first swordsmanship in Western Chu, is famous, and has made the world envious, but unfortunately, the Cangwu Sect was bloodbathed, and it failed to be inherited, which became a big regret.The twelve sword scriptures, all like the Autumn Frost Roll, are the classic martial arts of the Spring and Autumn Period, which once made history of Xuanhe, but later they were all lost, and with the fall of the five northern countries, they were lost in the dust of history.And now, they are reborn, and will shine together, bright, this will be a glorious martial arts feast Spring and Autumn Peerless, condensing the wisdom of an era, so that they can be passed on to future generations, this auction carries the meaning of too vicissitudes and heavy, far from ordinary auctions can be compared.This alone is enough to make everyone look forward to it.Then, there is the second suspense that comes with it.It is extremely rare to find a lost Sword Sutra and be willing to sell it.And this personal auction is an auction of twelve whole books, and the super seller hidden behind the scenes, who is the holy people are puzzled by this.Many people have made up their minds that although they don't practice swords, they also want to go to the scene to participate in the grand event, just to have the opportunity to witness with their own eyes and unveil the mystery of the masters behind the scenes.However, some big people from wealthy families have already guessed the clues.They are in high positions of power, and they obviously have more confidential information.They knew that the Guiyun Pavilion that was established out of thin air back then was actually one of the trophies of the Spring and Autumn War.If someone collects the twelve sword scriptures at the same time, the biggest possibility is that that person has entered the Guiyun Pavilion.Therefore, they had a vague premonition that the person who held this auction must have something to do with the Yunyao Sect, or rather, it had something to do with the sword infighting that destroyed the Yunyao Sect.Thinking about this, they have even greater doubts.In the past half a year, Confucianism has dominated the dynasty, and the sword path has been wiped out, and the people of the sword have dared to openly auction the sword scripture in the capital, what do they want to do under the nose of the empress, and spread the sword scripture vigorously, aren't they afraid of causing a series of thunder and anger, so that the whole capital realizes that this auction is destined to be a big event, and even an unexpected situation.They are all waiting to see what day will come.For Ren Zhen, this battle has already started early.The auction itself was a test of the imperial court's attitude towards kendo today.The previous New Deal, which emphasized civility over military force, was based on a peaceful situation without war.But now that the border war is rekindled, the imperial court urgently needs soldiers to provide combat power to defend against the enemy, which is a variable.Originally, Confucian supremacy was admired, but now the contradictions between Confucian masters and apprentices are open, and they can't even unify internally, let alone the great unification strategy of overthrowing the hundred schools.Again, this is a variable.Under the new double variables, the empress may not suspend the previous strategy and find a way to deal with the current dilemma.As long as she wants to accept it, this auction may be a signal of goodwill she sends to the schools.He was not miscalculated, when the news of the auction spread, the court really chose to remain silent, did not send someone to obstruct it, and did not try to capture Ren Zhen.To be exact, as he expected, Her Majesty the Empress was also interested, and wanted to continue to sit on the sidelines to see what tricks he was going to play.Even if the empress didn't change her mind and wanted to go all the way to the dark and bring down the catastrophe, that would happen after the auction.Ren Zhen is happy to see such a situation.Five days later.The big day of the auction has finally arrived.As usual, Ren Zhen got up early in the morning, and after a few hours of hard work, he finally finished copying the last volume and binding those sword scriptures.However, he did not rush out of the house, but picked up the brush and continued to write two more letters and handed them to Lao Wang."
These two letters, you send someone to help me deliver them, and make sure that they are delivered to the other party, this is my lifeline."
Lao Wang pinched it in his hand, and when he saw the name on the envelope, his eyes jumped suddenly, and he realized the weight of the letter, "The stakes are very high, or I will send it in person" Ren Zhen shook his head and said: "You are a powerhouse in the Six Realms, and as a messenger for me, the Five Realms, the flaws are too big."
Those two are shrewd people, and I can't afford to make the slightest mistake in front of them. ”Lao Wang understood, turned and left.Ren Zhen looked at Widow Zhang again and asked, "The person I asked you to find, have you found it?"
Widow Zhang nodded and said worriedly: "It's just outside the door."
Do you have to go, we can deliver the goods and collect the money for you. ”She was worried that something would happen to Ren Zhen.Ren Zhen smiled, not nervous, "I held this auction just to take the opportunity to meet those big names in the capital, of course I have to go in person." ”As he spoke, without waiting for Widow Zhang's persuasion, he glanced at Gu Haitang and walked towards the door.In the courtyard, a man in a black cloak stood there, and when he saw Ren Zhen come out, he respectfully called out, "Fang Master." ”A wide cloak wrapped around his body, making it impossible to see his face.Ren Zhen took out a towel from his sleeve and handed it to this person, and then said, "Let's go" Gu Haitang was on the left, and the man in black was on the right, and the two escorted Ren Zhen, jumped into the carriage sent by the Xie family, and set off for the auction house.The auction was held at night, but it took some time for the Xie family to inspect the goods, so they had to leave early.When they passed by the vermilion bronze gate of the auction house, they saw that there were already many guests, waiting in line to enter, and it was very lively.Looking at the sea of people, Ren Zhen was secretly speechless, and said in his heart, this is the first time I have experienced this kind of scene, but don't make any trouble:
