Although the middle-aged Taoist surnamed Ding had a single name and a Hong character, although he did not know the art of divination and divination, his cultivation had reached his level, and he could already deduce the heavenly mechanism to calculate good and bad fortune.
Especially after being in the same school as Ge Kai for hundreds of years, after the other party encountered an accident, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"Master, are you done with your retreat?"
Ding Hong came out of the cave in retreat, and a young man who was also wearing a gi robe quickly greeted him, with a surprised look on his face, and said: "Master, Uncle Ge has been out for four or five months, and he has not returned."
"There should be an accident, I want to go out!" Ding Hong waved his hand and said, "During the time I was out, if someone asked, they would say I was in retreat!"
A day later, in the depths of the foothills of Kunlun Mountain, a figure suddenly flashed out of the sky, and then was wrapped in a fog, which paused in the air for a moment, distinguished the direction, and flew straight to the capital.
"Big brother, do you want to come forward and say hello to that auction house and ask them to cancel that thing from the lot?"
In the evening of a week after Yun Huajun told his brother about the past, the two brothers sat in the courtyard again, and Yun Huatong clearly showed an indignant look on his face.
In order to ensure that they got that crystal, Yun Huatong and Christie's contacted each other in the past few days, and wanted to buy the crystal privately at a high price, but it was rejected by Christie's.
"I think you are used to doing business in China."
Yun Huajun glared at his younger brother angrily, "Then what kind of organization is Christie's? Does he need to look at our Yun family's face to do things? You can go to the venue in a few days and take a picture of that thing."
"Okay, big brother, don't worry, I will definitely get things done this time!" Yun Huatong nodded, neither of the two brothers noticed, the air around him seemed to fluctuate a little, and a figure slowly appeared behind the two of them.
"Yun Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for many years, is your father okay?"
A crisp voice sounded abruptly, and the Yun brothers, who were drinking tea and talking, trembled all over.
"Who are you? You...... How did you come in?" Although Yun Lao has passed away, the old lady is still there, and even though the guard level is lowered by one specification compared to before, not everyone can enter this courtyard.
"One day in the mountains, a hundred years in the world, I didn't expect the little dolls to grow so big?" Ding Hong smiled slightly, looked at Yun Huajun and said, "Little friend, do you still remember the poor road?"
"You...... Are you Ding Zhenren?"
Yun Huajun's voice trembled, he quickly took a few steps forward, looked at the Taoist person carefully, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and bowed deeply to the man.
"I haven't seen him for many years, Ding Zhenren's beautiful face has not changed, he is indeed a fairy among the gods!" Yun Huajun stretched out his hand to invite Ding Hong to take a seat, looked at his younger brother, and said, "Second brother, have you not come to see Ding Shenxian yet?"
"Big brother, he ...... Is he the one?" Yun Huatong hadn't woken up from the shock yet, and looked at the Taoist priest in disbelief.
"Okay, people in the mountains, don't talk about worldly etiquette, don't be so polite."
Ding Hong tilted his head slightly and said, "It seems that your father should be gone, little friend, is there anything important about summoning the poor Taoist this time?"
Ding Hong had observed with his consciousness that Yunhuajun's father should have been gone for a long time, and looking at the expressions of the two brothers, his junior brother seemed to have never been here.
"Ding Zhenren, you left the atlas back then, but the things on it were too scarce, and I only found two pieces after so many years, so I dared to invite the real person to come!"
When Yun Huajun spoke, he stole a glance at the Taoist in front of him again, and the horror in his heart was indescribable, nearly half a century had passed, and this Taoist looked the same as before, and the years seemed to be unable to leave any trace on his face at all.
"Oh? I see?"
Ding Hong was slightly stunned, he asked Yunhuajun's father for the supplies back then, just to renovate the lower cave house.
Even if he left an album later, he did not have much hope, because the chance of those things appearing in the world was too small.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Ding Hong waved his hand, stared at Yun Huajun, and said: "Yun Xiaoyou, my junior brother left the mountain and came here four months ago, have you ever seen him?"
The three jade pendants that Ding Hong handed over to the Yun family were all refined by him using the secret method of the master, not only could he receive the information from the jade pendant, but even Ge Kai could do it.
"Real person's junior brother?"
Yun Huajun and his brother looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, "Ding Zhenren, we did break that jade pendant four months ago, but no one came to the door!"
Ding Hong stared at the two of them for a while, and said lightly: "Forget it, show me what you found!"

"Dad, what have you been busy with lately?"
In the past, Ye Dongping couldn't see his son all day long, but during this time, Ye Tian couldn't see his father for several days.
"Dad, stay at home with my mom when you have nothing to do, why do you always run? If you raise a child outside, I won't agree!"
In the past, my father was at home, and he accompanied Song Weilan to talk and chat, but in the past few days, Ye Dongping has disappeared, and Ye Tian has become the object of my mother's lesson, and he is working hard to transform Ye Tian into a gentleman.
It's just that Ye Tian grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and then followed his master to walk the rivers and lakes, there is actually a kind of recklessness in his bones, how can he stand this? That's why I have to leave my father at home.
"Stinky boy, if you talk nonsense, I'll beat you!"
Ye Dongping was shocked by his son's words, quickly stretched out his head to look at the middle courtyard, pulled Ye Tian over, and said: "Your brother-in-law runs the Panjiayuan store well, and last year I got a few good items.
Although Ye Dongping's antique shop still has his name on it, the actual management, operation and sales are all done by Liu Wei'an.
And the profits obtained completely belong to Liu Wei'an, but in the end it is still his own business, Ye Dongping is now hanging a title there, known as a technical consultant, and will go there every three or five days.
This time Liu Wei'an bought a few pieces of Hanyu with good quality, originally a few old customers took a fancy to it, but were stopped by Ye Dongping, the price of this old jade at auction had to be doubled, he couldn't watch his brother-in-law suffer.
So Ye Dongping has been in contact with the auction house these days, and with Song Weilan's relationship, he has just finalized Christie's a while ago, and they are just preparing for a spring auction in the capital.
It's just that Ye Dongping contacted a little late, Christie's promotional color pages have already been printed, so he contacted a printing house in the past few days to rush to make those Hanyu promotional albums.
"What is that you are taking?" Hearing that it was an auction, Ye Tian curled his lips, and his interest suddenly decreased greatly.
Last year, Ye Tian collected Taoist classics, but went to many auction places, although the things in them were all old objects and precious, but they had no effect on Ye Tian.
"Christie's promotional album, I want to print it according to the unified specifications, I said, you boy, you can't chew your tongue in front of your mother!"
Ye Dongping handed the album to Ye Tian as he spoke, but he knew that his wife was simply blindly obedient to his son, and if Ye Tian talked nonsense, he would definitely catch fire in the backyard.
"Hey, this ...... Why is this so similar to that spirit stone?"
When he turned to the third page, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes stared at the photo on the page.
This is a long strip about the length of a finger, the whole body is fiery red, and four edges have been artificially cut, although it is just a photo, it still looks exquisite and unusual.
When others saw this thing, they would just think it was a gemstone, but in Ye Tian's eyes, the color and luminosity of this thing were very similar to the fire-attribute spirit stones he had hidden in the safe.
"Dad, what is this thing? It's beautiful!" Ye Tian pointed to the photo and looked up at his father.
Ye Dongping stretched out his head and glanced at the photo, and said: "I heard that after the volcanic eruption in some place, a person picked it up near the crater, and it was bought by a jeweler and cut into this shape, why, are you interested in this stone?"
"Well, I'm interested, Dad, when is the auction?"
Of course Ye Tian was interested, the value of the spirit stone could not be measured by money, not to mention the number of eight million marked on it, even if a zero was added later, Ye Tian would not hesitate to bid.
"In three days, I won't talk to you kid, today this thing has to be printed."
Ye Dongping snatched the album from his son's hand, turned his head and walked out of the yard, "Stinky boy, dare to chew your tongue, I'll clean you up when I come back!"
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, Dad is really funny, who in this family doesn't know that he is afraid of his wife, and he doesn't dare to mess around outside with his courage.
"Erupted from the crater? It is really possible that it is a fire attribute spirit stone!"
After returning to the room, Ye Tian took out the few spirit stones hidden in the safe, except for three pieces that were larger than the album, the rest were not as good as that one.
"No matter how much it costs, you must take a picture, this thing is not common, who dares to go to a place like a crater to take it?" After playing with the stones in his hand, Ye Tian secretly made up his mind.
