The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 105

Although Wei Yan arrived late, he finally arrived.

There are many available generals around Yuan Xu, even if he doesn't know how to summon the undead, he is capable of fighting Cao Cao.

After completing the task of King Liang's tomb, he thought that the summoning technique was not far from leveling up.

Several days passed, but there was no movement at all.

Yuan Xu was a little anxious.

Ever since Nanhua appeared, he clearly felt that the level of summoning was too low, and it was not enough to face strong enemies.

However, there was no movement in the summoning technique, and he couldn't just find a place to slaughter the city to promote the level.

On the low table in the study, there is a thick stack of "Books from Heaven".

In addition to books such as "Hybrid Rice Breeding", "Cultivation of Oyster Mushrooms", and "Prevention and Control of Newcastle Disease in Poultry", which are used for people's livelihood, there are also some basic sciences about physics, chemistry and arithmetic.

For Tian Feng and others, there are "Sushu", "Six Secret Teachings", "Bingjian", "Guiguzi" and other political works.

Already knowing a lot of simplified characters, Guo Jiafan watched "Guiguzi".

He himself is a member of the Guigu sect, and of course he has studied the way of Guigu deeply.

"How?" Yuan Xu asked him, "Is it the same as what you learned in Guigumen Middle School?"

"The Heavenly Book actually even has ghost valleys." Guo Jia looked astonished: "Young master, can you get all the tricks?"

"This book was used by Zhang Liang to assist Gao Zu." Yuan Xu picked up another book: "You should read "Su Shu" too."

"Su Shu" is rare, Guo Jia only heard about it, but never saw it with his own eyes.

After taking the book, he flipped through two pages, his surprised expression was dull: "My lord...this..."

"I'm going to set up another study room in the front yard." Yuan Xu said, "Put these books here. If you need to borrow them, you can pick them up by yourself. Just don't forget to return them."

"Can you copy it?" Guo Jia asked.

Yuan Xu wished he could distribute these books to them, and everyone would have one copy. If it weren't for the limitation of the summoning technique and the inability to achieve unlimited retrieval, he would have done so long ago.

How could Guo Jia not be allowed to copy it?

"Of course." Yuan Xu said, "Just don't get ink stains on it, which will affect other people's borrowing."

"Don't worry, my lord, absolutely not." Holding the book in his hands like a treasure, Guo Jia stood up and left.

Yuan Xu ordered the guards: "Make a side room in the front yard, and ask the craftsmen to build some bookshelves. I want to put the heavenly books."

After explaining how to decorate the new study, he sent someone to invite Zhen Yan.

When Zhen Yan came, Yuan Xu saw that he had something on his mind.

"Absent, what are you thinking?" Yuan Xu asked.

"There is an auction today." Zhen Yan replied, "In addition to the novelties given by the young master, there are also funerary objects from King Liang's tomb."

Yuan Xu became interested: "When will it start?"

"Less than half an hour." Zhen Yan replied.

"Lead me to have a look." Yuan Xu ordered.

Zhen Yan agreed and walked out of the study with him.

After leaving Yuan's house, the two went straight to the auction house.

The auction house is only one street away from the Yecheng government.

It was originally a residential area, but it was selected by Zhen Yan, and the people who lived there moved to other blocks.

The old house was demolished, and a magnificent three-story attic was built.

The attic is hollow, and the auction table in the middle can also be seen on the second and third floors.

There are low tables on each floor, and bidders can bid on dishes and wine while bidding.

"My lord, please go up to the third floor." Zhen Yan led Yuan Xu to the stairs.

"Is it true that each time you go up, the status of the participants will be higher?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Most of the auction items will be taken away by the guests on the second or third floor." Zhen Yan replied: "The guests on the first floor either have insufficient money to take away the auction items. Or they just come in to taste the dishes and are not interested in the auction items."

"The dish auction has also started?" Yuan Xu asked.

"It has been started since the establishment of this place." Zhen Yan replied: "I handed over the ingredients and cooking techniques that the young master gave earlier to the kitchen. Although it is not as delicious as the one I ate at the house, it is enough to cope with the scene."

Yuan Xu nodded and went up to the third floor.

The second floor is just an open space, and on the third floor, there are several private rooms.

"What is the private room for?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Some dignitaries don't want to be with others." Zhen Yan replied: "The private room is specially prepared for them."

"It's really hypocritical." Yuan Xu pouted.

He can actually understand the mentality of those dignitaries.

Rich and powerful people never want to be like ordinary people.

For example, if a product is labeled as an "elite group" or "tyrant", most users have a certain identity or status.

When this kind of product is accepted by the public, more people are able to afford it, hoping to reflect their own value or social status by owning it. On the contrary, most of the people who used it first will choose to give up and look for smaller and higher-end products.

"My lord, please enter the private room." Zhen Yan led Yuan Xu to the largest private room.

"Private rooms are available at any time?" Yuan Xu was a little surprised that he decided to come before the auction started, and there were still private rooms.

"No." Zhen Yan replied: "Originally, it was booked, and the young master wanted to come, so he gave up again."

"Being booked by someone, can you still let it go?" Yuan Xu asked, "Who is it?"

"Hedong Wei's family, Wei Bo coveted." Zhen Yan replied.

"Uncle Wei?" Yuan Xu thought for a moment, "Is it Wei Ji, Wei Zhongdao's elder brother, Cai Yan's former uncle?"

"Young Master, have you heard of him?"

"The Wei family is a family of great Confucianism. Wei Ji is famous for his talent at a young age. How come I haven't heard of it." Yuan Xu asked, "Where is he settled?"

"It's in the hall on the third floor." Zhen Yan said, "Wei Bocuo came to Yecheng this time, probably for some kind of treasure."

"What's in the auction today?"

"I'll present the list to you right now." Zhen Yan ordered his followers: "Bring the list."

After a while, the follower sent the list.

Yuan Xu checked the list and found a catalpa comb.

"This wooden comb..." For some reason, he felt that the origin of the wooden comb would not be simple.

"I got the wooden comb from other places." Zhen Yan replied: "It is said that when Wei Zifu entered the palace, he did not see the emperor for more than a year, so he asked to resign. After that, Emperor Wu called Weihou Zitong and gave this wooden comb as a gift."

"Wei Xi came to Ye City, probably because of it." Yuan Xu said: "He wants to bring back the things of the ancestors of the Wei family."

"What are you planning, son?"

"Go through the auction process." Yuan Xu replied: "The Wei family is a rich family in Hedong, and they have a lot of money. After he takes the wooden comb away, he will bring it to my home to meet me."

After a while, the servants delivered the dishes, and the auction began.

Sitting in the private room, Yuan Xu could see the auction site.

Wei Ji bid several times for the wooden comb, and finally won the auction.

Zhen Yan said: "My lord knows things like a god, and Wei Xie really did it for that comb."
