In the early morning, when Director Liu arrived in Beijing, his thoughts had completely changed. He was not going to meet Qu Laoyi. Someone offered a higher price to buy the jade seal. The person who called was the president of the magazine. He introduced
His business is more reliable than Qu Laoyi's.
Things were getting more and more beyond Director Liu's control. As soon as he walked out of Beijing Station, Qu Laoyi's driver forced him into the car; Qu Laoyi held his hand in the car and smiled with his usual smile.
greet him.
"Contact the seller as soon as possible. If you can get the jade seal before noon, I will give you 10%."
Manager Liu trembled and dialed the old bachelor's phone number. After completing this deal, he would get one million. What he never dared to think of had indeed happened; with one million, he could buy a big house.
, and I can also buy a car for my son...
However, it seems to confirm the old saying: All good things come to an end.
The old bachelor is not in Beijing. He is in Tianjin with his pretty widow and sick child. Moreover, the price of the jade seal is no longer five million yuan. The old bachelor wants one million U.S. dollars in cash.
"Promise him to trade before noon." Qu Laoyi patted the suitcase beside him, and the two Mercedes-Benz cars drove towards Tianjin.
They rushed to Tianjin, and the old bachelor went to Beijing. Director Liu didn't see the old bachelor until the evening. The location was Qu Laoyi's private museum; not only him, but Qu Laoyi was also exhausted.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Director Liu finally saw the old bachelor slowly walking in. He felt a little blind, and he was even dreaming of another dream: How many treasures did this old guy have in his hand? See
With the two strong men beside the old bachelor, Director Liu's delusions melted away as quickly as spring snow; even a fool could realize that they were old players, much higher level than themselves.
The old bachelor didn't mention the transaction first, and left two "bodyguards" hired from the construction site at the door of the hall. Shi Shiran started to visit Qu Laoyi's collection; this tour lasted more than half an hour. Qu Laoyi accompanied him.
By his side, people are already here anyway, so everything is easier to control.
Zhu Huai's footsteps finally stopped in front of a glass cabinet. What was displayed inside was tiger-patterned bronze beryllium, and the handle was the phoenix bone ghost whip, one of Zhumen's three weapons.
"One million dollars, plus this." The old bachelor said the first thing he said when he walked in. Qu Laoyi agreed without even thinking about it. This tiger-patterned bronze beryllium piece was worth only a hundred thousand dollars. It was just a small item. He
Don't want to waste time.
The transaction went smoothly. After the old bachelor slowly counted out one million US dollars, he took out one hundred thousand dollars and handed it to Director Liu, and disappeared into the dim lights of Beijing with his two bodyguards. Qu Laoyi did not dare to take advantage of others. In front of the museum
There was also a group of "bodyguards" hanging around. Those were all hired by Zhu Huai for 200 yuan each.
The whole scam ended perfectly, Zhu Men took back the Ghost Whip and threw out the Plum Blossom Jade Seal; Zhu Huai also got a large sum of money.
"As of today, it has been twenty days since Qu Laoyi got the jade seal. It is not clear what happened. I observed in front of his villa in the west of Beijing. Jiang Xiaoyu has gone in, Tian Xuyang has gone in, and the eminent monk Wuwei Master in the capital has gone in.
I've been there before. Could it be that a real person has also been in Tongzhou Xiangyun Temple? Qu Laoyi probably couldn't bear it any more, so he threw out the jade seal and let several companies compete for it at the auction. None of them were very satisfied with the result. I came back yesterday
"Previously, I saw Qu Laoyi leaving his villa and rushing to the airport, taking a flight to the United States to seek refuge. His private museum was also closed. I heard that the tax bureau was investigating Qu Laoyi's taxes."
"Where are our things?" Zhu Tong asked about the phoenix bone ghost whip. He was very curious and wanted to see the legendary ghost weapon.
"In Tianjin, I deposited it in the bank's vault and asked my uncle to pick it up in a few days. I didn't dare to take it with me because it was too scary." Zhu Huai said he felt like he was being confused by the Phoenix Bone Ghost Whip.
, his face turned pale; he didn’t even dare to touch the Zhumen ghost weapon!
After Zhu Huai’s introduction, the hall was quiet for a while. Zhu Tong coughed and said with a smile, “It’s okay for me to go. Uncle Master is the only one who is qualified to take care of our Zhumen’s things. Qu Laoyi ran away.
Come on, he will come back sooner or later. Senior brother, what words are engraved on this jade seal?"
"Two words: Ming and Shui. I can't tell the authenticity from the fake with my eyes, especially the missing parts are too clever. There is a jargon in the cultural relics circle, which is, 'It is easier to make new than to make old, and it is even more difficult to make old.
Half of it is missing. 'Is this jade seal just half of it? Most of the seal surface is missing, and the surrounding area is blurred by wear and tear."
"Ahem!" Zhu Tong coughed a few more times; "No matter what, let's just watch the fun for the time being. Those people will definitely earn a life and death at the auction. Ahem! It's rare that the Golden Buddha and Dao Zong also intervened, I don't want to
I’m too optimistic about Young Master Tian…cough cough cough cough!”
Zhu Tong coughed violently due to excitement, and a little blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Huang looked at Suowenda and nodded. The living Buddha stood up and walked to Zhu Huang to salute. He took Feng Zhuo Qingyu and Wang Kong bow and stood in front of Zhu Tong. He said "I'm offended" and drew two words in the air:
Phoenix.
The living Buddha's writing technique is very different from Zhu Tong's. Feng Zhuo Qingyu's green pen expanded like a ball. Suowonda gave a light drink, and the green light was like a divine bird flying in the blue sky. After finishing it in one breath, he pounced on Zhu Tong, and then
Without a trace.
Zhu Tong didn't feel anything strange, and thought Suowonda hadn't learned the essence of Shuzi. Suddenly he felt dazed, but couldn't sit down, and his body was supported by a floating breath.
Zhu Huang came over, untied Zhu Tong's clothes, took Feng Zhuo Qingyu's cut fingertips and wrote a few strokes on his chest, front and back, took out two pieces of dog skin plaster and put them on.
"Huh..." Zhu Tong took a long breath, caressing the warm patch on his chest, and breathing became less uncomfortable.
"Zhu Fei has mastered the essence of our sect, I'm glad to say that." The top master is different. Zhu Tong feels that Suowanda and his uncle Zhu Huang join forces to be more effective than his master, the old liar.
"This is the character-fixing technique that Zhu Fei learned on his own. The fusion of the technique and the mantra is very beneficial for serious injuries like yours; the bullshit plaster only has a supporting role and can be removed after a week." Zhu Huang looked at it with a smile.
Suowanda; "The leader's injury is too serious. After my senior brother came back and talked about it, Zhu Fei and I thought about it for a long time before coming up with this method. The advantage is that you can have the strength to fight with others within three months, and the injury will not
Deterioration. The disadvantage is that after the spell-fixing technique disappears, your cultivation level will decline."
"Really? Thank you, Uncle Master, thank you Zhu Fei." Zhu Tong waved his arms a few times and felt that his inner breath was flowing smoothly all over his body. He jumped up happily and immediately frowned. The Gu Zi Technique also imprisoned the Butterfly God.
, the light and erratic body technique can no longer be used.
"Do you feel it? What is flowing in the master's body now is Zhu Fei's inner breath. If you can practice according to Zhu Fei's Buddhist Kung Fu within three months, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Maybe your poisonous injury can be healed without medicine.
.”
After Zhu Huang explained it like this, Zhu Tong understood; the so-called Gu Zi Technique is actually that the practitioner condenses his own true energy into the magic words, and then uses some kind of Buddhist secret method to place it on the front and back acupoints of the injured person. For Zhu Tong
For such poisonous injuries, it is only a temporary first-aid technique that treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Injuries to the lungs still need to be treated. But for other injuries, the Guzi technique is undoubtedly a very effective treatment method, and may be related to
The magical powers of the Phoenix Mask are similar.
Uncle Zhu Huang was very proud, he was happy for the progress of Zhu Menshu calligraphy; Zhu Tong touched the phoenix mask on his chest, looked at Suowonda's calm face, and thought: Uncle Master will not teach him all his skills.
Right? Suowonda can study the art of solid characters, and his understanding of Zhu Menshu has surpassed that of Zhu Huang. Then... a ridiculous idea suddenly flashed through the little liar's mind.
"Uncle, senior brother, please come to the back. I have something important to ask."
The backyard of Xiaguang Temple is the embankment of Taihu Lake. The quiet lake water is sparkling. The ten-mile-long willow plant was planted by the second senior brother when he came. Now it has begun to take shape.
"I want to give up the position of leader to Zhu Fei." Zhu Tong's first words shocked the two masters of the Zhu Sect.
"That's ridiculous. Can the position of the leader be given to anyone at will?" Master Zhu Huang looked down coldly and was the first to reject Zhu Tong's proposal.
Zhu Huai said nothing, he knew that this junior brother would not say crazy things for no reason.
"Uncle Master, although the Zhu Sect seems very majestic now, with two living Buddhas and many friends, these are all false. There are not many things that really belong to the Zhu Sect. Some are lost because they are too difficult, and some are lost.
Things are no longer suitable for today's society. Zhu Fei joined Zhu Men to find a way to escape. When I left, I forgot to tell my uncle not to teach him too much. Now that I think about it, I was too narrow-minded. Zhu Fei learned Zhu Men's skills.
Later, he merged with his own cultivation to create the art of solid character. Didn't you think about what this means?"
Zhu Huang and Zhu Huai did not answer Zhu Tong's question. They had not been in contact with Suowonda for a long time and had never considered the problem from this perspective.
"He is leaving. Zhu Fei has understood the essence of Zhu Men. It will take as long as three months or as short as one month. He will definitely leave Zhu Men and return to Butian Temple or find a place for retreat. Shanghai is in chaos now. I think
Use the position of the leader to hold him back, at least before the Jianghu reception, he must stay in the Zhumen. Uncle Master, please communicate with him more. Maybe within the next two years, Zhu Fei can sort out all the magical powers of the Zhumen and revise them into
The registration will be of great benefit to the future development of Zhumen. Also, there are quite a few people in Zhumen, so we have restored the previous construction as early as possible."
"Building?" Zhu Huang didn't understand, and neither did the two senior brothers.
"Well, it should be said that the positions are very regular. Uncle Master, there should be many officials in Zhumen in the past, right? That is, hall masters, hall masters and the like. Without those basic settings, no one knows what to do. Zhumen
It’s just a ball of loose sand after all.”
The little liar's abacus jingled, and it was difficult for Zhu Huang and Zhu Huai to figure out what he meant. After thinking silently for a while, they both nodded slowly.
In the past, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Zhu Tong being the leader, but they gradually got used to it because of the tradition of the sect, and Zhu Tong did a good job. Now they know that Zhu Tong doesn't care about the position of the leader at all.
In the future, he would rather hand over the headship to Suowonda. The purpose of reorganizing and establishing the previous structure of the Zhumen is to limit the power of the headmaster.
From another perspective, letting Zhu Fei be the leader has only advantages and no disadvantages for Zhumen; with the living Buddha's mind, he will not stay at Zhumen for long, and may just drift away one day. The Phoenix Mask may be full of meaning for others.
Temptation, for a master like Suowonda, may be no more than a stone. In terms of prestige and wealth, Butian Temple far surpasses Zhumen.
Zhu Tong suggested that his uncles Zhu Huang and Suowunda should work together to compile and revise Zhumen's mental methods, secret techniques, and spells into a book. It would be a good deal. Zhumen has been closed for a long time, and if a master like Suowunda is involved in this matter
, we will be able to get rid of the bad and keep the good, carry forward the good, and the benefits will be great.
After convincing the uncle and senior brother, the rest of the matter would be easy to handle. If Zhu Huang hadn't asked for a few days of delay, and waited until he had sorted out the Zhumen mantras and spells, he would then ask the old liar in Shandong.
In my opinion, Zhu Tong is likely to hold a handover ceremony soon.
Thinking from Zhu Tong's point of view, instead of being absent-mindedly the leader of the Zhu Sect, it is better to concentrate on playing the role of Director Li Xiang in Shanghai. That would not only make you relaxed, but also not delay the important events of the Zhu Sect; after being the leader for more than half a year,
He thought that he was really not a competent leader.
