Human nature is very strange. Sometimes people you think are enemies can be more reliable than friends. Sometimes people you think are friends will suddenly stab you in the back.
There is no doubt that Li Muye and Huo Ze have a hostile relationship. In the Ural Mountains, Li Muye personally killed Huo Shan, the God of Hunting, and the hatred was deep. But it was also in the Ural Mountains that out of self-interest considerations, Li Muye teamed up with Huo Ze to break free from the trap of Chen Miao and the Taiping Society, which was equivalent to saving the Huo Ze brothers. Starting from the Evernight City and having several interactions with him, Li Muye's impression was that Huo Ze was an ambitious and ambitious man with a broad mind, sophisticated methods, quick-witted tactics and magnanimity.
It is not easy to contact Huo Ze, but it can still be done through the communication channels between the Night Demon organization and the outside world. Li Muye was once a member of Night Demon Tianji. He first contacted Jiang Qiuping, and then contacted Huo Ze through him. He briefly explained his current situation and then made a request. Without any hesitation, Huo Ze readily agreed and told Li Muye to wait at the door now and he would arrange for someone to come out to greet him.
Kent, who is white-skinned, blond and blue-eyed, has typical Aryan features. After meeting, they first showed the invitation letter to the doorman, and then let Mr. Li Muye in for a visit. The three of them walked along the white stone path in the backyard of the restaurant to a spacious and bright open-air garden. They saw that the seats were full of distinguished guests. In the center was the host's seat, with chairs scattered around. The seats were already occupied by guests and friends of different skin colors.
Several VIP cabins were specially built on top of these ordinary seats. The red logs are built together with staggered cuts and crosses, and are fixed with a golden metal ring around the outside. There is a one-way window facing the host, making it easier for people inside to look out.
There is no doubt that those who are qualified to enter the VIP box are top figures in the world.
Li Muye followed Kent to the private room where Huo Ze was. When they met, Huo Ze said with a smile: "Brother Li, we are really destined to meet each other thousands of miles away. What kind of wind blew your brother from Eastern Siberia to the Pacific Ocean? "
"I don't dare to take it seriously. You are a senior. I can't bear this call." Li Muye returned the salute with clasped fists and said: "The south wind is blowing in the current season. I ran here to meet Uncle Ze despite the wind. I said goodbye last time. , seeing your merchant ship explode and catch fire, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Huo Ze laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "It's just a little trick. You are too powerful. If you don't do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape from the Sea of Okhotsk." After that, he let Li Muye sit down next to him. Xiao Eilai followed him in and stood silently behind Li Muye, acting in a rare and well-behaved manner.
"This kid was peeping upstairs just now. I noticed it at the time. I was a little suspicious at the time. I didn't expect that he was really your brother." Huo Ze looked at the little evil boy and said: "The little kid is pretty good. Every time we meet It’s better than last time, it seems like it’s under the guidance of a famous teacher.”
Li Muye said: "People don't tell secrets. Liu Changfeng's notes on physical skills fell into my hands. It's a pity that I am not qualified and have no luck with the old man's stunts, so I have to fall in love with this kid. You see, he is not bad." Educate?"
Liu Changfeng's kung fu cultivation reached the top of the martial arts rankings more than fifty years ago, but it does not mean that his kung fu cultivation is better than Huo Ze's. For a great master of Huo Ze's age, his kung fu is no longer limited to tricks and routines, or even the secret techniques of the heart. Something like this is far less attractive to Huo Ze than a natural treasure that can replenish vitality, strengthen blood, and make the body and mind younger.
As expected, Huo Ze didn't care very much. He hummed and praised: "The talent is excellent, and it is indeed a talent that can be made."
The two chatted for a few words, each paying attention to their own thoughts. They couldn't speak freely, so it was better to get back to the topic.
Huo Ze asked: "How did your brother know about today's auction?"
Li Muye said: "It's a coincidence that I happened to encounter a whaling ship from Xiaoyao Pavilion at sea, and someone introduced me here."
Huo Ze sneered and said, "You kid is so dishonest. It's obvious that you killed people and robbed people. In the end, you blew up their whaling ship. Isn't this auction the result of torture?"
"How is that possible?" Li Muye said innocently, "Isn't your conjecture too unreliable?"
Huo Ze did not argue and said: "You can say whatever you want. It's none of my business anyway. If you can still make sense if you meet Yi Tongtian, it means you have a big urine problem." He added: " As both Han Chinese, I would like to remind you that when the auction starts later, you'd better not do anything outrageous, otherwise you will have to wipe your own ass."
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I know the importance." Li Muye said modestly, "This junior is new here and has short-sighted eyes. I don't know the details here. Can you introduce me to the details of this auction?"
Huo Ze simply said hello.
This auction is also called the Yibao Conference, and it is organized by Xiaoyao Pavilion. The participants came from all over the world, and almost all of them were at the level of a dominant party. As for the contents of the auction, it can be said to be diverse. As long as it is rare and rare in the world, you can bring it here for auction or exchange. Based on past experience, you can use whatever you bring, including vulgar cultural relics, rare emeralds, slightly more refined beauties, even thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.
It is held once every year at this time, and the reason why it is chosen in Hawaii is very particular. This place is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by seas, and is at least thousands of miles away from any land. Anyone who wants to mobilize troops here to take advantage of others is tantamount to wishful thinking. The tropical style, marine climate and pleasant natural environment here make it the perfect place for leisure and vacation. Because of this, it also attracts people from all over the world to come here, so the transportation is very convenient.
The rules of the Yibao Conference are that the auction items are publicly displayed and exchanged first. If the exchange conditions cannot be met, the auctioneer will set the price himself and enter the auction after paying a fee of two million US dollars. There is no limit to bidding based on the auctioneer's fixed price, and the one with the highest final price wins. Li Muye felt very curious and asked, "Senior..."
"Didn't I tell you last time, don't call me senior, I don't like it, and don't call me uncle Ze, we are not that close."
"Then what should I call you?"
"Call me whatever you want, but don't call me senior."
"Then I'll call you Lao Huo."
"That's good. When someone calls you senior, I always feel like I'm being sacrificed."
Li Muye continued the previous question: "Lao Huo, would you mind telling me what you are auctioning this time? Is there anything you particularly want to get?"
"Hehe." Huo Ze smiled dryly and said: "If I tell you that what I am going to auction this time is the elixir and miscellaneous arts of Taoist Xu of the Jin Dynasty handwritten by Liu Changfeng, will you be interested?" before Li Muye could answer. , and said: "As for what I am interested in, you will know when the time comes."
"Are you going to sell those secret alchemy volumes left by Senior Liu Changfeng?" Li Muye was greatly surprised: "Don't you plan to continue researching it yourself?"
Huo Ze said: "How old is it? I took pictures of those things as soon as I got them. If you want to study them, you have time to slowly think about it. What's the use of keeping the remaining manuscripts? It's better to get them here and reuse them." one time."
"Aren't you afraid that those secrets will be leaked?" Li Muye was slightly surprised.
"Young man, it's time for you to come out and gain knowledge. You are so capable, but you talk like a toad at the bottom of a well. What year are we in now? It's already the nano era. These things from our ancestors, In the West, they have long been moved into laboratories and studied. When I went to North America, the first thing I did was to set up my own biochemical research laboratory. As for the things that Liu collected, some were of great use, while others had long been abandoned. People have studied it thoroughly.”
He chuckled: "Since it's something I can take out, I'm not afraid of them buying it back and studying it."
"You mean you took out that book on purpose?"
Huo Ze didn't answer the question. He pointed to the private room on the left and said, "Did you see it? There is a German named Schroeder in that room. He is in charge of the most advanced physics research center in Europe. This research center can be said to be all-encompassing. Not only is it the best in cutting-edge technologies such as gram and nanometers, but it is also outstanding in the fields of biochemical pharmaceuticals and rare metal separation applications. The armor you saw on Zhang Junpeng’s body that day was made by this old bastard.”
Li Muye: "Is there any special significance for you to suddenly introduce him to me?"
"I prepared this book for him." Huo Ze said: "These foreigners, the more high-end they are, the more they resent and hate us Chinese, but they prefer to study our culture in a cheap way. Behind Schroeder is the West. A very powerful branch of the church, this organization is almost comparable to Freemasonry and the Orthodox Ecumenical Holy Alliance. Schroeder himself is a top physicist and a fan of Eastern mysticism, but he prefers to use scientific methods. way to analyze ancient Chinese wisdom.”
When Li Muye heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "There are some things that I, a pure Chinese, only know a little bit about despite being taught by a famous teacher, but he, a foreigner, can actually study it. This guy is definitely a genius."
"Undoubtedly a great genius!" Huo Ze said: "My Night Stalker Killer Organization once took over a business, and the target was him. The brothers below failed to succeed twice, and then I decided to do it myself. Guess what happened? ?”
"Did you miss?" Li Muye looked at the box over there and didn't think there was anything difficult about the answer.
Huo Ze shook his head and said seriously: "I killed him and broke his neck with my own hands."
Li Muye knew he had something else to say, so he listened carefully without saying anything.
"Three days later, he was resurrected, just like the legend of Jesus' resurrection. At that time, I didn't believe this fact, so I went to verify it myself, and it turned out that it was really him." Huo Ze said, "Then I found an opportunity to see him again. I took action and killed him again. This time I tore off his head and brought it back to my employer, and I successfully got the commission."
He took a sip of water and continued: "Actually, what I care about is not the commission, but the reputation of the Night Stalker Killer who never fails, but guess what?"
Li Muye looked at him as if he were an idiot and reluctantly praised him: "So Schroeder came back to life again?"
Huo Ze slapped his thigh and said, "It's so weird. By the way, this old boy actually appeared in front of the crowd again, which confused the old man at the time. At first, he thought he was a multiple twin, but later he caught him. It took a powerful killer sent by him to find out that the two dead people were all his replacements."
Li Muye looked at him suspiciously: "Real or false? How do you know?"
"This old devil has an island in the Atlantic Ocean, and he has built a research base on it, specializing in the research of Kung-Kung technology. Many European and American celebrities are his customers." Huo Ze said: "They mainly sell the substitutes who have Kung-Kung. Healthy organs.”
"This is an awesome technical job." Li Muye said: "Isn't he the one who created humans?"
Huo Ze said disdainfully: "It's not as awesome as you think. As far as I know, those Kelong people created by Schroeder have obvious flaws. The transplanted organs are incompatible with their own organs, and mutual rejection leads to decline. Speeding up, he had to replace it repeatedly, so he carefully distinguished the gene sequence and cell grouping of the two, and couldn't find any difference at all. However, this guy is indeed a knowledgeable genius. He actually thought of looking for the answer in the field of mysticism and studied a lot. Religion has finally set its sights on our Taoist collections."
Li Muye listened quietly.
"This guy has been struggling for a while, but he still hasn't found the root of the problem, but he has found a way to delay this kind of decline." Huo Ze continued: "It is through the Taozang health method and dietary nutrition. Mind and body, balance the yin and yang in the body, and strengthen the internal organs to fight against this process of decay.”
"Did it work?"
"Yes." Huo Ze said: "The medicine he developed based on the physical properties of these foods can greatly delay the rejection of new organs. Because of this, he has become more interested in Chinese Taoist and Tibetan health culture. Now this guy is The topic we are working on is to decipher the secret of Peng Zu’s 800-year-old age.” After saying this, he laughed a few times and added: “He is now extremely interested in all the treatises of famous Taoists related to ancient Xuzhou.”
"Is there anything wrong with your book?" Li Muye felt that his smile was a little weird and asked, "Old Huo, why are you laughing?"
Huo Ze hesitated for a moment, and finally said proudly against Li Muye's ear: "I added some stuffing to this book and made him feed the European and American nobles every day. Do you think it's fun or not?"
Li Muye didn't expect Huo Ze to have such a humorous side, so he smiled dryly and nodded in agreement: "It's indeed fun, but it's also damaging enough. It's not like the actions of your grand master."
Huo Ze laughed and said: "Shit grand master, life is too short to live on airs and wear a mask. Old Huo, I have always wanted revenge in my life. I can repay kindness or not, it depends on my mood, like Old Monster Xuan puts on a hypocritical air of superiority, showing off his morality on the surface, but deep down he is no cleaner than me, Old Huo. If he pretends to be a grandson all his life, he will end up like Old Huo? Why bother?"
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Li Muye clasped his fists and said, "It's an eye-opener. Those lofty and god-like characters on the civil and military lists are actually no different from the ordinary people of my generation."
"If there is a difference, how did I give birth to such a beautiful girl to sleep with you?" Huo Ze looked at Li Muye with a smile and said: "The great master also has three holes to vent his anger. The upper half pretends to be a human, and the lower half pretends to be a beast. To carry on the family line from generation to generation, eating, drinking, and eating, everything is indispensable.”
He suddenly pulled Huo Jingshan, and Li Muye felt a little embarrassed.
Huo Zehun said nonchalantly: "Don't be embarrassed, that girl was given to you by me. I can see that she likes you."
Li Muye didn't want to continue this topic, so he intentionally interrupted and asked, "Lao Huo, who is in the private room on our right?"
"People from the Li family of Nanhai Gate." Huo Ze said sternly: "Didn't you see the redbud sign of Nanhai Gate at the door?"
"How do you know it's from the Li family, not the Chen family or the Huang family?" Li Muye asked as he continued to delve deeper into the topic.
"The leader is a bastard. The Ziyun Huang family does not allow intermarriage with foreigners. The Chen family's power mainly develops domestically and is weak overseas. Such good things cannot happen to them at all, so it can only be the Li family." Huo Ze Worthy of being a great master of the world, he said, "The Li family's roots are mainly in Singapore. The head of the family, Li Muyang, is a typical Westerner. In order to improve his genes, he married six foreign women and served wine."
Serving wine is a Nanyang dialect, which means a little wife who has no name or share. She has no name as a wife, but she has the right to inherit the inheritance.
Just listen to Huo Ze continue to say: "Old Li is about the same age as me. He has given birth to a bunch of bastard sons. The most promising one is the third one. He is named John Li in a foreign language. He is the boy in the box."
Li Muye said: "This man is indeed very powerful. My nephew was secretly observing him on the eighth floor of the hotel, and he noticed him as soon as he got out of the car."
Huo Ze said: "There's nothing surprising about this. It's just that the blood is smooth, the spirit is alert, and the fur is sensitive. That little woman of yours probably has this ability as well."
By the way, the reading app I am using recently has many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
"It's a pity that I am destined to have no fate with this class in my life." Li Muye regretted: "Li Zhonghua said that I am a son like my mother. I have not inherited his genes, so I am not suitable for practicing kung fu at all."
Huo Ze said with relief: "In today's world, no matter how high you practice kung fu, it is of little use. All you can do is move faster and hit people harder. But no matter how hard you are, you can't beat guns and cannons, and if you move fast, you can never beat them." Can airplanes, missiles, and quick reactions be faster than those electronic detection equipments? Your talent is not limited to this, so there is no need to regret it."
"You are a stuffed man but you don't know a hungry man is hungry." Li Muye said disapprovingly.
Huo Ze laughed, pointed out the window and said: "Look over there, do you see the fat black man tied up with a banana? This old boy's name is Papi, he is the chief of the Kokopo tribe on New Britain Island, and he is nominally a He is the head of state. He has 380 wives and hundreds of children. How about that? Do you envy him?"
"What do you mean?" Li Muye said, "That idiot is as fat as a wild boar. He is the head of the Bird Kingdom. He is really awesome and he just entered the box. Why do I envy him?"
"I just want to tell you that no one's life is perfect. If you gain wisdom, you may lose your courage."
There is movement in the field.
A black woman in red stood up from the crowd, walked straight to the booth in the center of the venue, took out an object and placed it on the booth. After silently writing the starting price on the computer screen, he returned to the auditorium.
Then, a gray-robed Taoist with an immortal Taoism walked up to the auction seat from the backstage path and said loudly: "The heaven and the earth are infinite, absorbing Qi and gathering treasures, things return to all directions, and each returns to its own place. Things are mixed together, and there is a way. Those who are virtuous will gain, those who are not virtuous will be lost. Destiny comes and goes, all in nature. Treasures and losses are all due to fate. Everyone, the Yi Bao Conference begins now. I, the Shintoist Yi Tongtian, have the honor to host this year's event. I pray that you will attend. All your wishes come true.”
"The first lot is a sapphire dagger with a whale tooth handle. The handle is made of killer whale teeth, which can protect against evil spirits in the sea. The sapphire is collected from the Kashmir region. It is rare. It is made with special abrasive tools for polishing diamonds. It can cut iron as well as mud. , it can also be carried as an accessory without any security check restrictions. The starting price is 80 million US dollars. The owner accepts the exchange of items, so first enter the bartering process... "
The little evil boy had been paying attention eagerly. When he saw the Taoist holding up the sapphire knife and showing it, his eyes suddenly lit up. (End of chapter)
