Chapter 1 Jade Carving

In February, rare snowflakes in the south slowly drifted down, making the earth and the sky seem to turn into a white world, but the rhythm of the city will not stop because of this, and cars and buses are following their original steps.
Wearing a coat with a sweater inside, Liu Deyi walked alone in this historical city, watching the snowflakes that looked like fluffy slowly falling down, and stepping on the white snow, he felt that I was the only one in the world. Although there were pedestrians next to him, this feeling was so real that he suddenly filled with the feeling of echoing in the void, and a word flowed through his heart.
"I am the fragrance of the earth, I am the sound of the air."
Since the small Zhoutian was connected that day, it has been nearly six months since now. The hot current started just a small stream, and it became bigger and bigger in daily practice. Now it has even filled the body, and it feels a bit integrated. The method of the spiritual transmission of Jade was similar to the method of "forget the body and combine the truth" at the beginning. It does not seek to consciously penetrate the meridians, but only seeks the perfection of a piece of vitality. There is a law in the chaos to operate and grow stronger.
Walking on the street, Liu Deyi even feels that he is like a huge power between heaven and earth, and walking on the streets of human beings, seeing everything from a strange perspective. This feeling is very wonderful and can surpass the feelings of ordinary human beings. When looking around, there are often many special feelings that arise from the heart, and you can appreciate them carefully. The feeling just now is like this.
"Who is the light in the darkness? I'm looking for it quietly in the air." The ringtone has already rang. This is his special song. It took a while to turn it into the ringtone of his own mobile phone.
"Hey, Lao He, what's the matter?" Liu Deyi took out his cell phone, looked at the display, and then asked.
"Have you arrived yet? The guest has been waiting for half an hour."
"I know, I'll arrive soon." Liu Deyi looked away a little, but had already seen a shop on the store, replied, and then cut off the signal.
At this time, Lao He in the store said to the group of four awkwardly: "He will arrive soon, please wait for a while, sorry."
"Grandpa, do you still have to wait?" This kind of speech is a Hong Kong accent, which is also a Cantonese dialect. Old He still understands it. He saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old saying a little angry: "There is not even an air conditioner here. It's so cold, do you have to wait? My feet are frozen."
"It's okay. If you feel cold, go to the car first, where there is air conditioning." An elderly man in his sixties said with a smile. It seems that he loves this girl very much.
Lao He, who can understand Cantonese, is a little embarrassed. His store is not big. He does some small deals such as jade and jade, but they are just cheap items. It is just a bit of a good quality. He is a small business, and of course he has not installed air conditioners. In such a heavy snowy day, it will certainly make customers feel cold.
At this moment, the door opened and Liu Deyi, wearing a coat, came in. He drifted away some snowflakes on his shoulders, and then looked at the customers in the store calmly.
"Here, Mr. Zhang, Miss Zhang, this is the owner of these things, Mr. Liu."
"Oh, what's so urgent?"
"Xiao Liu, these guests are interested in these things you want to buy. What do you think?"
Liu Deyi looked at the things, which were three things. The first one was a small statue of god, followed by a small pendant with some strange symbols on it, and the third one was a small bracelet, all of which were made of so-called ice jade, without cracks or impurities.
These things were obtained by Liu Deyi from the raw stone market and got the raw stones. Although the Jade Spirit was cheating, he was not financially strong and did not want to show off his appearance, so he just got some raw stones and went back. Although it was still some good things to mine them, the quantity was not large.
He sold these good things through some channels and made some money. After several resales, Liu Deyi's bank account has now increased by more than 1.6 million yuan, but when he felt it was a little noticeable, he stopped decisively.
Liu Deyi spent some time learning carving every night, which was a meticulous job. However, due to the teachings of Jade Spirit, he resonated with his spirit and learned quickly. In just half a year, he had achieved some success. Of course, it was incomparable to some masters who specialize in this business, but it could be considered as carving some things, so he turned a few pieces of small jade into several things.
The three of them in the store are not very good, whether it is the quality or carving, but this store selling small jewelry is already good. Besides, the price of jade is rising again, and Myanmar's ability to control minerals is getting stronger and stronger, so the price is difficult to lower in the short term, so it can be called the treasure of the store.
However, these things are not Lao He's, but Liu Deyi put them in the store. Therefore, if you really want to sell them, you have to wait for Liu Deyi to come - these things were originally worthless and could make customers wait for half an hour, but since they waited for half an hour, they naturally became a little conscious.
"Oh, this old gentleman, hello, are you going to buy these things?"
"You are the owner of the goods? You are so young. Yes, although these things are not of great quality, they have a bit of a quaint taste. My granddaughter likes them very much. Yes, how much does it cost?"
"The statue of god is 250,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bracelets."
"Damn, you're just a lion's mouth. The quality of this ice jade is just average. It's already amazing to sell it for 50,000 yuan. Since you want to sell it for nearly 600,000 yuan, you think we are the losers!" The girl immediately jumped up and said in Mandarin in a hurry and fast manner. Looking at her eyes, she had already regarded Liu Deyi as a liar in the world.
And Lao He was also shocked by this number.
"If we only talk about the quality of jade and jewelry craftsmanship, these things are indeed only about 50,000 yuan, but those who know themselves know themselves, and those who don't know naturally don't know. I sold this price and think it's natural and there is no intention to kill you. Of course, this is originally an exhibition item. If you don't want to buy it, please." Liu Deyi ignored the intimidation of this girl and said to the old man quietly.
"Young man, don't worry, haha, don't you talk about divalent things?"
"If you don't talk about the divalent price, you should actually know that it is difficult to price this kind of thing. I sell it at this price, which is not to deceive you, nor to kill you." Liu Deyi said simply.
The old man nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, let's do this. I bought these things. Do you receive checks here?"
"Grandpa, why did you buy it? This thing is not worth so much."
"Stop messing around, grandpa has his own reasons."
"I won't accept the check, so there is a bank opposite you. You can transfer the 580,000 yuan to my card."
"It's good, but young people, where did you get these things?"
"This is a secret."
"Haha, I asked more. If there is something like this next time, you can call me. This is my business card." The old man went out and went to the bank opposite to handle the procedures, and gave him a business card. The business card only had a simple name and a number.
"Thank you, I'll notice."
In fact, the procedures were handled very quickly, and in a short while, the matter was completed.
When the car's window was closed to block the cold winter, Liu Deyi also noticed the angry girl. This girl was really interesting. He thought about it, but he forgot that this girl seemed to be one or two years older than him.
"Lao He, this is for you, just treat it as you sold the thing yourself." In front of Lao He, he sent him another 60,000 yuan from the card.
Although Lao He was sweating all over his head and his hands were trembling a little, when he walked out of the bank door, he couldn't help asking: "Xiao Liu, are these pieces of jade really worth so much?"
"What do you think?"
"I think... I think these things are at most 50,000 yuan. Although I have a small shop and have not bought or sold these things, I don't think they should exceed this price."
"Jade and craftsmanship are just the price."
"Only, what do these two words mean? Then what other mystery is there?"
"Don't ask about this matter. Anyway, there is nothing wrong, just keep holding it." After already reaching Lao He's store, Liu Deyi did not go in and waved to him: "By goodbye, let's be here today. Don't treat me to dinner or something, I have something to do."
After saying that, he ignored Lao He's clamor and left on his own.
"You have already earned two million in the account today." Yu Zhiling's voice sounded in his mind.
"It should be almost the same. 1.6 million plus 500,000 today has exceeded 2 million." Liu Deyi thought about it and said.
"Then you will have the money for traveling by yourself from now on, so I don't need to help you?"
"There is no special situation, it's enough." Liu Deyi is not a very greedy person. He feels that his money is enough for the time being. "You said that today, is the price I want high or low?"
"It's not easy to calculate, but these things have instilled spiritual energy and corresponding talismans that can bless your health, drive away evil, and save lives if necessary. Therefore, the price should not be too much. If you didn't need money and let you learn the key points, I wouldn't spend my spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in this world is getting less and less, and it depends on me to transform from the Big Dipper Starlight."
"Well, I know, don't complain anymore, wait for me to behave myself."
"With your merits, you have to do such things, and wait ten years before it will be almost the same!"
"It seems that the old man knows something, but he hasn't bargained." Liu Deyi said thoughtfully. He is still in the stage of basic cultivation and has not developed any supernatural powers at all. Of course, he cannot know what the old man has: "Do you think there will be any trouble?"
"If we talk about practice alone, this old man is just a little bit of a magic trick at most. His dantian is empty and his lunar calendar is invisible, and it is no big deal. But from the perspective of social status or his power and money, I don't know this, but there is no need to worry too much."
Liu Deyi naturally understood the meaning of the Jade Spirit. He smiled and stopped asking. Although it was not a pleasant thing to wander on the streets during these snowy days, he was full of energy in his body and gained the spiritual energy of the Jade Spirit every day, so he was not afraid of the cold. In addition, he had nothing else to do, so he just wandered around the streets. To be honest, SZ City is also a tourist city, but for those who live here, it is just ordinary, so he can be considered idle.
As the snow became heavier, the excitement just now disappeared without a trace. He turned around a street. Suddenly, the feeling of being the only one in the world was filled with heart. After walking a few steps, he did not want to inherit and taste this feeling, so he moved to a cafe.
When I entered the door, a warm breath came. This cafe is not bad, of course it won’t be like Lao He. There are not even heating. There are not many people in the cafe, but it is not small either. I sat about 40% of the time. It should be very normal for this weather and time.
"Sir, what do you want to order?"
"Give me a cup of blue coffee."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The blue coffee is twenty yuan a cup, not good or bad. With milk, it tastes pretty good. The waitress is probably about twenty years old. She smiled. The young man looked very young, but had a special temperament. She looked at the boy taking off his coat and hanging it on his chair. After only about a minute, he brought a cup of coffee.
Liu Deyi didn't know that loneliness penetrated into the bone marrow. This was also a kind of induction, a situation that belonged to the sympathy of heaven and man. It was through the purification of non-human sensation again and again that they could slowly penetrate into the spirit of heaven and earth and distinguish them from mortals.
However, even so, his situation was a little earlier, but the Jade Spirit did not encourage or stop it. If everything was still within the allowable range, it would be a better way to let it go.
But Liu Deyi certainly would not think so. He picked up the cup and took a sip of warm coffee. The bitterness was strong and fragrant, which made him feel at ease. Suddenly, he wanted to talk to someone, so he took out his cell phone and pressed the familiar number.
"Hey, is it Zhang Min? Yes, it's me, why, are you free to come out to play? Ah... You have something to do, is it your relative here? It doesn't matter, so let's go next time."
I put down my phone and pressed it on the glass. The cold feeling was felt tentacles, and it felt a little sad. When I needed it, she was not there, so my thinking turned to this feeling unconsciously - humans are really an impermanent animal, and the same is true in the world. Even if yesterday was joy, today might be lonely.
This feeling filled my heart.
He thought about it and pressed another number.
"Hey, it's you." A soft female voice responded.
"Is it Li Xiaoyan? What are you doing now?"
"There is nothing, I'm resting at home. What's the matter with me?" There was a faint surprise in this voice.
Hearing this voice, he suddenly felt that he had rarely contacted her. Usually she would come to visit him. He had not spent any time on her for a long time. As a childhood sweetheart when he was a child, he seemed a little too cold to her.
"Nothing is wrong, but are you interested in having coffee with me now?"
"Drink coffee?" The voice over there was silent: "Where are you?"
"It's in the blue coffee shop on Love Road."
"Okay, it's boring to stay at home, so I'll do it and don't let me go. If that happens, I'll be angry."
"Of course not, see you later."
He put down his phone again and was not interested in picking it up. At this time, there was another music playing in the cafe. He did not study much about it, but in this snowy day, looking at the white streets and the sky, the ethereal music in the tenderness was still very in line with his current mood.
"Miss, what kind of music is this?"
"It's a hope curse." The waitress told him.
Do you hope to curse? A female voice is singing, a little ethereal and seems to be very gentle.
In such music, he drank sips and his eyes turned outside. In fact, if you simply talk about beauty, Li Xiaoyan is more beautiful than Zhang Min, and she is also a girl who grew up with him in childhood. She is even more distant relatives in his clan, so she should be more intimate.
But for some reason, I am far from as close to Zhang Min now.
Maybe this is because I am too familiar with it, so I have no feeling. Or, this is a man's bad character, which is too easy to obtain, and too close to people and things, but I don't know how to cherish them?
"This time it's over, what will you learn next time?"
"Don't want to play with carving?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore, and I'm not frivolous. If everything is perfect, I will lose many beautiful things in my life. I am not prepared yet." Liu Deyi said: "At this stage, it's enough to have a cultivation."
"Well, then learn other things. You can learn any skills to cultivate your mood. Choose one by yourself."
"I wanted to learn some real martial arts, but it seems that it will not be possible in the near future." The senior will be internship next semester, and the martial arts group is also in a state of alternation between old and new, but in Liu Deyi's opinion, if there was no senior, there would be nothing to learn.
"Reading, playing chess, and piano."
"Let's talk about it then, ah, she's here." Liu Deyi ended the conversation in his heart. He saw Li Xiaoyan getting out of a taxi. She was wearing a purple coat and raised her head. She happened to see his eyes, and a smile came from her eyes.
