Chapter 923 It’s not good, it’s not good, the Cheng family is here again... (please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Chubi carefully looked at the bronze turtle in front of him. It was very vivid and not smooth at all.
According to the old craftsman, some roughness on the surface should be retained so that sand can easily adhere to it, so that it can look more like a real turtle.
Li Ke next to him was also amazed, stroking the two bronze turtles placed side by side with gleaming eyes.
"It's really brilliant. This skill is no worse than those who will be imprisoned.
Brother Chu Bi, if you put this thing in the pond of Xuandu Temple, you won’t be able to tell whether it’s true or false.”
Although the words were spoken in a low voice, they were still heard by the shopkeeper of the iron shop and the old craftsman.
The two men's eyelids jumped when they heard that, and they could only try their best to maintain a cute and silly look to avoid being spotted by these three young men.
Cheng Chubi nodded with satisfaction and winked to the side. After Cheng Fa handed over the balance, Cheng Chubi gave him a small piece of silver.
"Well, very good, I'm very satisfied. Come on, take it. This is the balance. The extra money is a reward for this old master."
The old craftsman quickly expressed his thanks, and Cheng Chubi asked Cheng Fa and Cheng Da to wrap up the two bronze turtles.
Even if it is hollow, a bronze turtle must weigh thirty or forty kilograms.
After leaving the iron shop, they jumped onto their horses and a group of people headed towards the Xuandu Temple.
They didn't want to let Li Ke and Fang Jun come forward, but they insisted on seeing how Cheng Chubi put the bronze turtle into the pond.
What could Cheng Chubi say? He could only be too lazy to pay attention to these two gossips and continued to move forward with his horse.
Arriving in front of Dexuandu Temple, Cheng Chubi carefully looked at this famous Taoist temple in Chang'an City. People were coming and going in and out of the Taoist temple's entrance.
It could be seen that the Taoist temple was very prosperous, so Cheng Chubi and others headed towards the temple.
In a short time, I bypassed the places where men and women burned incense and asked for fortune-telling.
Li Ke, who recognized where the lotus pond was, led Cheng Chubi and Fang Jun deeper into it.
However, they didn't go very far when they were stopped by a Taoist priest guarding the gate of a courtyard. The Taoist priest looked at these three young nobles with vigilance.
"Young masters, I'm really sorry. The master of my temple has ordered that the lotus garden is temporarily closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
Cheng Chubi stood in front of the Taoist priest, looked at the Taoist priest who was half a head shorter than himself, and laughed.
"Go and tell you, the master of the temple, that Cheng Sanlang of the Duke of Lu State is here to visit and wants to go to the Lotus Garden."
"...Cheng, Cheng Sanlang?" The Taoist priest raised his head and looked at the tall and heroic Cheng Taichang, and couldn't help but tremble.
He spread his legs and ran towards a path next to the courtyard gate that led directly to Xuandu Temple.
"It's not good, it's not good, the Cheng family is here again..."
"..." Cheng Chubi was caught off guard and startled. He looked at the back of the little Taoist priest who was walking hastily, with a black line on his face.
The damn Cheng family is here again, what happened?
There were several leaking sounds like farts coming from behind his buttocks, which made Cheng Chubi feel very evil.
When he turned around, he saw two bastards, Li Ke and Fang Jun, staring at him with strange expressions.
"What are you two doing?" Cheng Chubi said angrily, bulging his eyes fiercely.
Li Ke pointed his finger in the direction where the Taoist priest disappeared and said happily.
"No, I was just frightened by that little Taoist priest's sudden escape, right? Brother Jun."
"Yes, yes, so is my little brother."
Fang Jun nodded vigorously. Even though he was taller than Li Ke, he still felt safer standing behind Brother Weide.
Cheng Chubi snorted, stretched his neck and looked into the lotus garden. Hey, there happened to be no one, so he couldn't help but feel happy.
Quickly reaching out, Cheng Fa hooked his fingers and took the cloth bag wrapped in copper turtle that the other party handed him.
I strode inside. There was no one left, so I quickly sank this thing in first.
In a short time, the white-haired temple master of Xuandu Temple, with the support of two disciples, rushed towards this direction in a very corrupt manner.
After finally passing through the gate of the lotus garden, I saw a tall and burly figure placing a turtle-shaped thing right into the lotus pond.
Beside it, there were a few people standing there pointing.
"Hey, the master of Xuandu Temple is here."
Li Ke turned around and saw the white-haired conservator hurried towards this side, and quickly reminded Brother Chu Bi.
Cheng Chubi took a few steps back and looked at the bronze turtle that was resting in the shallow water under the cover of lotus leaves.
About half of its head and almost half of its turtle shell were exposed out of the water, rippling in the breeze, as if it were a living turtle.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and relief. Even if Uncle Li and his wife jumped over now, they would not be able to see the flaw.
#####
After all, the master of Xuandu Temple is a very accomplished Taoist. Even when he saw the Cheng family, he still reminded himself vigilantly at this moment.
Don't have any unnecessary conflicts with those Cheng family members who are hated by everyone, otherwise Xuanduguan will be the one who suffers.
Taking a deep breath, the leader of Xuandu Temple stepped forward to salute with an inscrutable and somewhat reserved and respectful smile.
"The poor Taoist met His Highness the King of Wu and the Second Young Master Fang... the meeting process was too common."
Li Ke returned the gift with a smile, looked at this very fairy-like Xuandu Guan Guan master and said.
"There is no need to be polite to the temple master. I met the temple master in the past, but I haven't seen him in several years. He is still such a fairy-like person."
After a few perfunctory words, the experienced master of Xuandu Temple asked as if nothing had happened.
"Several distinguished guests came to our door. I was really negligent. I didn't know that there were three distinguished guests..."
"Master, right? Cheng is so polite." Cheng Chubi took a step forward and saluted the veteran with a smile.
"Cheng came here today. Naturally, he apologized when he came. A few days ago, Cheng wanted to see the tortoises of Chang'an."
"So I asked the housekeeper to take the turtle back to the house and enjoy it for a few days."
"It turns out that this turtle is very extraordinary. Unfortunately, it has already lived long enough."
"???" Everyone looked at Cheng Chubi in confusion. Even if it's nonsense, can it at least be well-founded?
Cheng Chubi ignored the strange expressions of others and spoke directly.
"Presumably the temple owner should have known too late that Cheng is a doctor."
"Naturally, I was not happy to see something happen to such a spirited turtle, so I went to ask for some golden elixirs that can transform people into immortals."
"After taking this golden elixir, the spirit turtle entered the state of turtle breath. Look, it's right there, do you see it?"
