Chapter 214

Time in a hurry, such as fleeting, in the twinkling of an eye is a year later.

The so-called "Dawang banner" in Chengtou has been leading the way for decades. Qingzhou City is no longer the situation of that year.

The Gongsun family, which used to be rich and powerful, ushered in the coldest winter in nearly 20 years.

In the middle of winter, the ice breaks three feet, the weather is cold, but the heart is cold.

Since the holy lotus sect conquered wushuangcheng and unified the river and lake, all the sects have been forced by its power. If not, it will be ruled by the holy lotus sect with an iron hand.

Shaolin and Wudang, the leading figures in the rivers and lakes, announced that they would close the Mountain Gate one after another. The poor thing is that Gongsun's sect, which is rich in industry, is just a big fat sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of Shenglian sect.

Finally, the holy lotus sect proposed to let the leaders of various schools take the five stone flower powder, which was the sole formula of the holy lotus sect.

Although Wushi Qihua powder has the effect of refreshing and Invigorating Qi, it is a terrible drug for chronic addiction. After a long period of taking food, once the supply is cut off, he will immediately fall into a state of madness. If he doesn't recognize his relatives, he can take another sip, even if he sells his children and girls.

In the matchless city a year ago, Liu Jinghong, the young master of Liu's family, took this medicine and did such terrible deeds.

The holy lotus sect wants to use the five stone flower powder to control all sects, and claims that as long as all sects follow the arrangement of the holy lotus sect, there will be a long-term supply of five stone flower powder.

Those leaders and clan owners who refuse to take Wushi Qihua powder will either exchange enough wealth for exemption, or they will be exterminated by the holy lotus sect.

Gongsun Jingtang, the leader of Gongsun family, was the one who would rather die than eat the five stone flowers. As a result, Gongsun Jingtang died unexpectedly after Gongsun family paid a huge amount of wealth again and again.

Gongsun's family claimed to have died of a violent illness, but some of the wise men had a stranglehold on themselves. It is clear that Gongsun's family was assassinated because they had too much money and used gold and silver banknotes to block Shenglian's plan of unifying the world.

Nowadays, no one in Gongsun's family dares to be the head of the family, probably because they are afraid of the same fate as Gongsun Jingtang. However, the family can not be left without a head for a day, so they have to choose Gongsun Yichen, who has a lower rank but is a blood relative, to be the head of the family.

At present, Gongsun Yichen has only two ways to choose. One is to be obedient, like the leaders of other forces, to take Wushi Qihua powder on a regular basis and become a loyal running dog of the holy lotus sect.

On the other hand, he followed the example of Gongsun Jingtang, and gave up the blood and sweat of his people while he might die at any time.

This is the cruel rule of the river and the lake. No one has any reason to say for 30 years.

At the moment, the largest auction house in Qingzhou City, Doubao Pavilion, is full of people.

The Doubao pavilion was originally the property of Gongsun family, but it was later split up and sold to the fierce tooth sect of Shenglian sect at a low price.

I don't know how the Gongsun people on the table felt when they sat in their own industry and participated in the auction.

However, since Doubao pavilion was taken over by the fierce tooth sect, although the auction price remains high, the treasures have indeed enriched a lot.

However, this reason still falls to the head of the holy lotus sect. It is said that after the holy lotus sect conquered Wushuang City, it obtained a lot of treasures from the Wushuang sword sect, from magic weapons to secret records of martial arts, and then to elixirs.

Some people say that after Wushuang city was occupied by the holy lotus sect, it took over all the sea trade in the East China Sea of Daming, so there were so many rare treasures flowing into Doubao Pavilion.

In just one year, the matchless sword sect, the leader of the Wulin alliance, has become a taboo term. Few people dare to talk about it in public. At most, they just sigh in private.

Gongsun Yichen, as the new owner of Gongsun's family, also attended the auction in person.

Gongsun Yichen is still a dashing and uninhibited childe, but his temples are already showing white frost, and his face is a little haggard. It can be seen that the position of Gongsun's master is not so easy to be.

This time, Gongsun Yichen came to the auction for a clear purpose, that is, to get one of the treasures.

It's a blood lion pith bought from the western regions. It's very valuable. For ordinary people, this kind of blood lion pith is a valuable medicinal material, but for low-level warriors, it's a treasure they dream of.

Because the blood lion marrow belongs to the nature of fire, one of its characteristics is that it can refine the constitution to the maximum extent. If the blood lion marrow is used to break the environment and refine the bone, the Qi and blood of the bone refiner can be sufficient to reach the perfect environment.

As we all know, bone training is an important stage for a warrior to lay a good foundation. The deeper he accumulates, the more he can accumulate in the future. If his foundation is weak, even if he practices hard in the future, his entry will be limited.

Of course, the blood lion marrow is of little value to the high-level martial arts. Those who have entered the realm of hegemony are almost not interested in taking a look at it.

Therefore, blood lion marrow has always been used by those big families to build a foundation for their lower generation disciples.

Of course, Gongsun Yichen didn't need it himself, but he had to get it, because it is said that the Qingzhou envoy of Shenglian sect has been very fond of a new beautiful concubine recently and wants to teach that woman to break through the situation and make bones.

If there is such a gift, as long as the Qingzhou envoy is happy, he may force Gongsun Yichen to take Wushi qihuasan for another time.

Therefore, Gongsun Yichen despised other objects and came to Doubao pavilion to photograph this blood lion pith.

At the moment, everyone in Doubao Pavilion is waiting for the auctioneer to bid.

"The next treasure is the blood lion marrow that we have been waiting for for for a long time! This blood marrow comes from the xueerjin caravan of the western regions. It can be said that it has traveled a long way across the ocean

The old auctioneer shook his head and continued: "I believe we all know a little about the effect of blood lion marrow. It's the most wonderful for the younger generation to practice martial arts. However, the piece we're going to shoot today is a piece of the best blood lion marrow, with gold in the blood red. It's a rare top-notch piece."

"The price of the best blood lion marrow starts at 600 liang of gold. Who is willing to pay this price?"

After the old auctioneer's words, Gongsun Yichen nodded, and the Gongsun disciple sitting next to him quickly raised his arm.

"The guests of channel 6 are willing to bid 600 liang of gold. Is there anything higher than his bid?" Cried the old auctioneer.

Six hundred taels of gold is only for the great investment of a bone refiner. Unless it's a prince or a grandson, who would spend so much gold to do it.

In the final analysis, no matter how well paved the bone refining realm is, it's hard to say that it will definitely break the realm to hegemony, or even innate, or even magical secret realm. Maybe there are many people who are in the bone refining realm all their lives.

The price of ordinary blood lion pith was the highest in the past years, and the price of the best blood lion pith was 600 taels of gold. I believe that no rational person will have the impulse to buy it.

"Six hundred taels of gold, is there anyone else to increase the price?" The old auctioneer said in a loud voice.

"We Dugu's bid is 652!" During the dinner, someone suddenly yelled.

The one who raised the price was sitting at the table opposite Gongsun Yichen. The Dugu family was a remnant of the great family of the former dynasty. Their ancestors made a living by building boats. In the past ten years, they also began to forge weapons and weapons. They were friends and enemies with Gongsun family.

The Dugu family has a close relationship with the imperial court. The weapons used by the famous royal guards are specially provided by them. Now with the rise of the power of the holy lotus sect, they want to take a share in the world. Anyway, no one will be too rich, will they?

In the past year, Gongsun's family has been under great pressure, and Dugu's family is determined to squeeze out Gongsun's orders on the side of the border army, so he targets them everywhere, even the auction that can't be played.

Gongsun Yichen saw that it was Dugu's who was bidding. His brow sank slightly and he stretched out two fingers.

"Our Gongsun family gave us 800 taels of gold!" The Gongsun clan, who was in charge of bidding, yelled when he saw the order from the owner.

Without waiting for the old auctioneer to ask the price, Dugu said in a high voice: "882!"

The whole audience was in an uproar. The price of a piece of blood lion marrow was 882 gold, which was absolutely sky high!

Many people are staring at Gongsun Yichen. Will Gongsun continue to bid? Or do you just shrink your neck?

Gongsun Yichen is quite a general. Facing countless eyes in all directions, he stabbed and stood still. He said faintly: "one thousand Liang!"

"My Gongsun is willing to give out 1000 liang of gold!" The Gongsun disciple, who was in charge of bidding, cried out, but the price was so high that even his voice trembled slightly.

Thousand taels of gold is not a small amount for any force. And now Gongsun's situation, spent this gold thousand Liang, is just like adding insult to injury.

And Dugu's family saw this point clearly, so they were reckless to bid, because they knew very well that if Gongsun Yichen didn't want to bow his head, and didn't want to take Wushi Qihua powder, he had to take this blood lion pith as a favor.

Besides, it's just the first step of annexation. Dugu's has already done a good job. Even if Gongsun Yichen really spent a lot of money to take the blood lion pith, the Qingzhou envoy would not let him go if he accepted the gift.

This is an invisible war, and it is also an impossible war to win.

"Master, gold is a thousand taels. It's a bone breaking thing!" Next to him, a well-established Gongsun son lowered his voice.

Gongsun Yichen shook his head expressionless and said, "it's hard to ride a tiger! It's just going to be a wreck. "

Perhaps in his view, Gongsun's only public show of strength, in order to gain prestige, try to reduce some secret betrayal.

At this time, someone at the opposite table of Dugu's stood up and said with a loud laugh: "gold thousand Liang to buy a piece of blood lion marrow? Gongsun Yichen, is your head broken? I'm kidding you

"Ha ha! Do you think it's horse bone? You Gongsun's family is the yellow flower of the past. You don't have to fight for it in a few days! A thousand taels of gold, can you give it now? "

The person who is talking is Dugu chufeng, the young leader of the Dugu family. He has been oppressed by Gongsun Yichen a few years ago, until he adheres to the holy lotus sect.

Gongsun Yichen pondered for a moment and was about to reply, but he suddenly heard another shout at the table.

"I'll give you fifteen hundred taels of gold!"

Nowadays, there are more fools than swindlers! I can't cheat you!

There's another bid, and it's five hundred taels in one go?

This shout price, startled the whole audience all coincidentally looked at the past.

Shouting is sitting in the upper left corner of the humble position of a pair of master and servant.

The one who stands up and yells, don't mention it. He looks just like a fool.

This man is five big and three thick, with a round waist and fat arms. His big face is similar to a washbasin. His eyes are like bronze bells, and his ears catch the wind. His appearance is like that of a savage in the mountains.

He was also wearing a strange bear fur jacket. The leather was pretty good, but the cutting skills were terrible. All the wise people regretted and wasted the good white bear fur.

At first glance, this man is a roughcast, a follower, and a super follower.

Sitting next to him was a young man with a dark complexion. He was broad shouldered, thin waisted, and handsome. He looked a bit good-natured. He also had a short spear on his shoulder, which seemed to be a bit of a doorman.

However, the martial arts level of the master and the servant should not be high, because they can hardly feel the pressure from them. It's not like Gongsun Yichen. Just sitting there, he has the momentum of Yue Linyuan.

"Who are these two? What a big hand

"I don't know. I haven't heard that there is a golden young man who makes spears in the world!"

"Could it be that someone from the army came to support Gongsun on purpose?"

"Bullshit! The border army is having a headache about splitting up and reducing its staff! There's no spare time to run this business. "

For a moment, the crowd at the dinner were all speculating about the identity of the public servants.
