Chen Ran looked forward and found that the auction was actually a thick gold brick.
"This is a scripture made of pure gold. It is said to be the Golden Book of Tang Mi..." Before Chen Ran could get surprised, Yang Xinghe on the side introduced him in a low voice. After speaking, he was afraid that he didn't know what Tang Mi was.
Jin Shujiu added: "Tang Mi is Han Tantra. Pure Tantra was officially introduced and developed in the Tang Dynasty, so the orthodox Tantra is also called Tang Mi. Tang Mi developed until it was almost destroyed due to political reasons during the Wuzong period of the Tang Dynasty.
Zong, the remaining Tang esoteric successors went underground due to the Tang Dynasty's campaign to exterminate Buddhism, and the recruitment of disciples also changed from recruiting Buddhists to each generation of Tang esoteric successors giving initiations to the next generation of Tang esoteric successors
It is said that the previous generation of Tang Mi successors appeared hundreds of years ago. Since then, there have been no Tang Mi successors. However, there is a Dong Mi who came back from Japan. This book
The Golden Book is the Tang Mi Golden Book that has been passed down from generation to generation by orthodox Tang Mi successors. These Taoist monks at the auction are all here for this Golden Book..."
Chen Ran nodded, no wonder there would be monks and lamas attending such an auction.
He had never heard of Tang Tantric Buddhism before. He only knew that Tibetan Tantric Buddhism was very famous. Now when Tantra is mentioned, it is usually Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.
"Five hundred million!"
In the short time that Yang Xinghe introduced Chen Ran, Jin Shu's quotation was shouted at 500 million. As soon as the price of 500 million was announced, the lively scene became deserted for a while, and everyone seemed to calm down.
, the auctioneer in front of the stage finally had a chance to speak.
Chen Ran also took this opportunity to observe the golden book. He was still very interested in such a mysterious thing, although he did not detect any aura in the golden book.
Chen Ran used his mental power to explore the past. As Yang Xinghe said, this thing that looked like a gold brick was actually a scripture, because the pages were stacked one by one to make it look like a gold brick.
Each page of the golden book is extremely thin, with a total of eighty-one pages. Each page of the Buddhist scriptures is engraved with text, and there are some images, all of which are scriptures. Don't say that Chen Ran doesn't recognize the words on it.
Even if you know it, you probably won’t be able to understand it.
This seemed to be an ordinary golden book. Chen Ran didn't see anything special and lost interest in checking it. However, just when he was recovering his mental power, he found that there was something coming from underneath the golden book.
A faint golden light.
Chen Ran was startled and then investigated it. What surprised him was that it was not the gold book that was glowing gold, but the cloth covering the gold book that was glowing gold.
After Chen Ran put his spiritual power into the cloth, the golden light flashed, and the cloth suddenly became golden. Then the golden light floated up and turned into golden characters one by one. Not only did golden characters appear, but also some...
Or the little golden figure sitting...
Chen Ran was taken aback, but quickly calmed down, because this was not the first time he had experienced such a thing. He had experienced such a battle when he went to Guixiong Ridge.
The difference from that time was that one poem only appeared and then disappeared, but this time there were floating golden characters and even images of golden little men.
Chen Ran, who had Ding Dian's memory, knew at a glance that these golden figures and characters were all kinds of cultivation methods.
Chen Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.
Obviously, the piece of cloth wrapping the golden book is the real inheritance of Tang Mi, and the golden book is just an ordinary scripture passed down to the world.
Seeing that the auction would end soon, and the golden characters and golden figures floating out of Bupi seemed to be endless, Chen Ran frowned and whispered into Yang Xinghe's ear.
Yang Xinghe glanced at Chen Ran in surprise, but then nodded, stood up and walked to the auction table without saying anything.
"What are you doing?" Wu Laosan looked at Yang Xinghe who was leaving, then looked at Chen Ran and frowned and asked. He would be very dissatisfied with Chen Ran and Yang Xinghe now. He and Yang Xinghe are relatives.
The relationship between the two of them is usually pretty good. It should be said that he and Yang Xinghe are close to each other, but now it's better. Yang Xinghe and Chen Ran actually got together when they first met. Their relationship is even better than that between him and Yang Xinghe.
Be close.
Chen Ran shook his head and ignored him. The auction was still going on. Although after a period of elimination, there were fewer people bidding and the atmosphere was not so intense, the price was increased each time. It was not 50 million.
Just add 100 million directly.
When the price was shouted to 900 million, there were only two people competing. Then another person shouted again, and the person shouting the price simply added it. Seeing how hard this person shouted the price,
The other party may know that their financial resources are not as good as the other party, so they are obviously a little hesitant. They want to get the golden book, but they know that the competition is vicious but they still bid viciously. The only ones who get the cheaper price will be the person who auctions the golden book and the auction company. We are not enemies.
On the contrary, they are all people in a certain circle...
In the end, the two families somehow negotiated and seemed to reach a compromise, which was eventually auctioned off at a price of 1.1 billion.
Chen Ran was not too interested in who the golden book was auctioned to. The golden book is just an ordinary scripture. At most, it is a scripture made of gold. Or it may contain some lost scriptures and teachings of Tang Mi.
, but Chen Ran was not interested in that. What he was interested in was Tang Mi's cultivation method.
Although there are some cultivation methods in Ding Dian’s memory, how can there be too little of this kind of thing...
After the auction, Chen Ran stared at Yang Xinghe in front of him. As expected, Yang Xinghe just put the golden book in the box and handed it to the other party as he said, but the piece of cloth wrapping the golden book did not attract anyone's attention.
's stayed.
Except for Chen Ran, no one else noticed Yang Xinghe's little move at all.
Seeing that no one noticed Chen Ran, he was relieved. Yang Xinghe exchanged greetings with several regular customers of the auction house and nodded to Chen Ran before leaving the auction hall. Although Wu Laosan did not notice Yang Xinghe's little move, he still felt relieved.
Knowing that Yang Xinghe must have done something without telling him, he looked at Chen Ran suspiciously and followed Chen Ran out.
When Wu Laosan brought Chen Ran to a room, Yang Xinghe was already waiting in the room. In addition to Yang Xinghe, there was also a dark and thin young man in his twenties or eighties.
"Is this it?"
Seeing Chen Ran come in, Yang Xinghe stood up and handed the leather cloth to Chen Ran.
"Thank you, Uncle Yang." Chen Ran took it and thanked Yang Xinghe.
"It takes a little effort." Yang Xinghe shook his head with a smile.
"What do you want this for?" As soon as Chen Ran got the thing, Wu Laosan wanted to go over and take a look. He didn't know what Chen Ran asked Yang Xinghe to do just now. Now that he saw the thing, he would know it. Chen Ran wanted to wrap it up inexplicably.
The cloth cover of Jin Shu obviously made him feel strange.
Wu Laosan was obviously not the only one who was strange. Yang Xinghe and the thin black young man were also very strange. They both looked at this piece of cloth and there was nothing else except "Tang Mi Jin Shu" written in four regular scripts on it.
, but although the two of them were strange, they were just a little bit strange in their hearts. Naturally, they would not ask Chen Ran like Wu Laosan.
"This leather cloth is not an ordinary leather cloth. It is not afraid of water intrusion or fire. It is also very strong. Ordinary weapons can scratch it without leaving any traces. It is perfect for preserving things." Chen Ran half-truthed.
said.
Chen Ran was not sure whether he was really not afraid of water or fire, but he was sure that the leather cloth was very strong, but he knew it based on the difficulty of his mental detection.
The golden book is from the Tang Dynasty, and this piece of leather cloth is also from the Tang Dynasty. Since it has not rotted until now, it is inevitable that it is not afraid of water intrusion. As for whether it is afraid of fire, I don't know.
"I see, that's a treasure." Yang Xinghe nodded.
Wu Laosan is obviously still a little suspicious, but Chen Ran doesn't care what he thinks, no matter how he looks at it, he can't see anything.
Then Yang Xinghe entertained Chen Ran for tea while talking to Chen Ran. Chen Ran originally thought that Yang Xinghe would ask about his family background like his second aunt Xiaoyu, but Yang Xinghe never mentioned this question.
, and no longer mentioned Wang Hongyu, who looked very similar to him.
Yang Xinghe first asked about the process of Chen Ran and Xiaoyu's acquaintance, and then talked about the mining company. It turned out that Wu Laosan called him here for something other than telling him that the old man of the Wu family knew about him and Xiaoyu.
That is, Yang Xinghe also plans to join the mining company they are planning to form.
Regarding Yang Xinghe's joining, Chen Ran was not only not unhappy but also very supportive, not because of Yang Xinghe's "special" relationship with him, but because of the special nature of mining companies, which rely heavily on relationships and public relations.
It cannot be done by one or two people, and he will definitely not be able to participate in the management of the mining company. Wu Laosan... may have some abilities, but his shortcomings are also obvious.
Although it was the first time for Chen Ran to meet Yang Xinghe, he could tell that Yang Xinghe was a very stable person. It would be best if Yang Xinghe was here.
In addition, aside from other things, Yang Xinghe is Xiaoyu's uncle and family member... He agreed to open a mining company with Wu Laosan in the final analysis, not because of Xiaoyu... Although neither Wu Laosan nor Yang Xinghe had any concerns about Xiaoyu and him.
He couldn't even speak, but he didn't think about asking them to speak to him. This kind of thing mainly depends on himself. It's impossible to rely on others. What he values is their good relationship with Xiaoyu...
Wu Laosan has already selected a gold mining company to acquire. This company currently has two gold mines under its control, and the acquisition would cost more than a billion.
Chen Ran had no objection to this, but after asking about the situation, he requested that he go to the mine to conduct an on-site inspection before the acquisition.
Of course, there's nothing much to say about this. Chen Ran would have gone on an on-site inspection even if he didn't say anything.
After talking about it, Chen Ran received a call from Yang Shijie. After Zhang Hongjun framed him, he called Yang Shijie and asked Yang Shijie to bring Overlord to the capital and select ten people from the trained security guards.
Also bring.
The Overlord was brought to the capital to be a bodyguard for Cao Huiyao. Originally, Chen Ran wanted to find a female bodyguard for Cao Huiyao, but it was not easy to find a female bodyguard for a while.
How can someone be reliable, especially when Cao Huiyao joins the company and will be exposed to many secrets when she is with him.
Chen Ran can only let Ba Wang follow Cao Huiyao for the time being, and then change him if he finds a suitable one.
As for the ten selected security guards, they planned to be placed in the company. Chen Ran not only had to place security guards but also all levels of management. However, he planned to give this power to Cao Huiyao. He only had to take care of the company's safety.
After receiving a call from Yang Shijie, Chen Ran planned to leave. When leaving, Yang Xinghe told him about asking Xiao Hei to be his bodyguard, but he refused because he already had a bodyguard by his side.
Leaving aside whether he needs bodyguards or not, even if he needs one himself, how can he let an outsider who doesn't know his origin follow him? Moreover, he has refused Director Yang's arrangements for bodyguards.
Yang Xinghe seemed to know that it was the first time that the two parties met... so he didn't mention it again after Chen Ran refused.
After saying goodbye to Yang Xinghe and Wu Laosan, Chen Ran went to pick up Yang Shijie and the others at the high-speed rail station, but soon he discovered that there was a car behind him that seemed to have been following him.
