I could feel that Lin Yi's father's breathing was a little rapid. Although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't escape my perception.
The old man looked calm, but he could not hide his excitement. However, I felt that he was not excited about the peach wood charm, but that he seemed to have found the right direction for cultivating Taoism.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Yi's father and the old man got to know each other. Only then did they learn that the old man's name was Dong Yingdong.
Sound check had already begun at the seminar site, and guests began to walk in one after another. At this time, a young man came over carrying a very exquisite suitcase. The young man was about thirty years old, wearing a crisp suit, and looked very
He is cool and handsome.
"Mr. Dong, the money has been sent here, five hundred thousand, please check it," the young man said.
"Huzi, thank you for your hard work." Mr. Dong said.
Mr. Dong opened the box and handed it to Lin Yi's father, "Boss Lin, please click on it."
Mr. Dong only opened the box a little bit, presumably because he didn't want others to know that the box was full of money, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Lin Yi's father carefully avoided the angle, opened the box, took inventory, and nodded: "No problem. It's five hundred thousand."
Lin Yi's father was about to take out the money from the box and put it into his backpack. However, Mr. Dong reached out to stop him: "A box is not worth much. It is a meeting gift from me. This much money is too eye-catching.
You have to be careful."
Lin Yi's father did not refuse and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you very much, Mr. Dong."
Although Lin Yi's father took possession of Mr. Dong's box, he ended up getting an ordinary amulet for Mr. Dong.
"There is one more." When Mr. Dong counted the amulets, he found that the number was not less, but more.
"Mr. Dong is our first customer today, and this amulet is a thank you gift from Mr. Dong for opening our business." Lin Yi's father said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Mr. Dong was not polite and accepted it.
Lin Yi's father closed the box and was not in a hurry to send the money to the bank for deposit.
It happened that there was someone in the crowd who knew Mr. Dong. As soon as he saw Mr. Dong, he immediately said hello to Mr. Dong.
"Old Dong, why are you here?" The person who came here is about the same age as Mr. Dong, but his hair is white. He also has a weak sense of aura. However, I dress like a virtuous man. There are many people coming and going at the scene.
, I have never found a person who truly has cultivation skills. Naturally, I have not found a person who cultivates Taoism like Taoist Master Zhao.
"Hey, we have gained a lot today." Mr. Dong immediately talked about our talismans.
"Is it true?" The visitor didn't quite believe it.
"Would I still lie to you, Lao Yi?" Mr. Dong said angrily.
"That's not enough. Is this talisman really as good as you say?" the old man named Yi asked suspiciously.
Mr. Dong took an ordinary amulet and handed it to the old man named Yi. "See for yourself. You don't even believe what I say."
"Huh?" The old man surnamed Yi had just received the amulet, and he could naturally feel the pure vitality in the amulet. Although they could sense the vitality with their cultivation, it was very difficult to obtain such pure vitality.
The old man named Yi felt the pure vitality in the amulet for a while and asked excitedly, "Where did you buy it?"
"Here. It's right here." Mr. Dong pointed at our stall.
The old man surnamed Yi immediately came over and said, "Hello, I am Yi Dazhu, a good friend of Dong Yingdong. Do you still have this kind of talisman here?"
Lin Yi's father quickly introduced himself excitedly, "My name is Lin Jingwei. We also have a large supply of amulets here."
"I want as many as you want!" This Yi Dazhu was much more generous than Dong Yingdong just now.
"You want all of it? Do you think it's Chinese cabbage?" Dong Yingdong said with a smile.
"How much does one cost?" Yi Dazhu asked.
"Ten thousand." Lin Yi's father said calmly.
"Ah, it's really not cheap. But this amulet is really worth the price." Yi Dazhu said it sincerely. This kind of amulet cannot be made by ordinary monks. And even if there are monks with similar cultivation level as me,
The price of making this kind of talisman will definitely not be lower than mine. I'm afraid it can't be bought with money.
"Actually, this is not their best talisman. Originally, they had a better one just now. But now, it's already in my pocket." Dong Yingdong laughed.
"Show me!" Yi Dazhu heard that there was something better than an ordinary amulet. How could he resist the temptation?
"No, if it's in your hands, can I still get it back? One hundred thousand yuan. The most important thing is, there are only four pieces in total. Don't even think about it." Dong Yingdong retreated as if he was protecting a treasure.
After several steps, he avoided Yi Dazhu's outstretched hand.
"Old Dong, you are so uninteresting. We have been friends for so many years, and you won a good thing, but you don't even give it to me." Yi Dazhu said dissatisfied.
"Okay, you old Yi. I really can't do anything to you." Dong Yingdong had already prepared a portion for Yi Dazhu. He took out a peach wood amulet from his pocket and handed it to Yi Dazhu.
Yi Dazhu took it in his hand and his eyes widened, "This, this...Xiao Lin. Did you make this amulet?"
Yi Dazhu suddenly grabbed Lin Yi's father's arm in excitement.
"Ah? No, no, Yi Lao, you may have misunderstood. If I had this ability, would I still need to set up a stall here?" Lin Yi's father chuckled.
Yi Dazhu let go of Lin Yi's father's hand and sighed: "Oh. What a pity. By the way. You should know where this senior is. Can you introduce me to this senior?"
Lin Yi's father glanced at me subconsciously, then quickly covered it up and said: "Well, it's not easy for me to meet that expert, but when I see that expert next time, I can convey this to you two
request."
Yi Dazhu glanced at me. Fortunately, my age is very confusing. Although Yi Dazhu glanced at me, he did not think that I was that expert. In their impression, this expert
The image should probably be of gray hair.
"Then please." Yi Dazhu didn't dare to offend Lin Yi. They were very afraid of an expert who could make such a powerful amulet. Although Lin Yi's father was an ordinary person, he was related to the expert.
If you are an ordinary person, then you are not an ordinary person.
Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong seem to be people with a certain social status, but compared with those who practice Taoism, they can only be regarded as entry-level, and what does their status in the secular world mean in the world of monasticism? Unless that is the case.
There are many monastic families. In today's world, there are not many true monastic families. The monastic world is ruined, how much power can those monastic families have left?
From Taoist Master Zhao's words that night, I already have a certain understanding of today's monastic world. Real monks are rare. This is why I dare to ask for 10,000 yuan for an ordinary amulet. You must know that Jincheng is the provincial capital city.
The shops in the most prosperous areas are only three to four thousand one square meters. The average price of commercial housing in Jincheng is only more than one thousand. The purchasing power of ten thousand yuan is still very strong. After all, this is still 2003.
Dong Yingdong and Yi Dazhu looked a little frustrated when they failed to get the master's news from Lin Yi's father. Although Yi Dazhu didn't sweep away all our amulets, he still bought more than twenty vitality amulets. In one breath,
Buying something worth more than 200,000 yuan is considered a huge spend.
Although Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong did not clear out all the vitality talismans, they also led many people who attended the Taoist culture seminar to rush to buy amulets. Although most of the people who came to the Taoist culture seminar had a blank slate on the Taoism, there were still a few.
There are some winks. Although there are no masters, there are some entry-level people like Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong. Naturally, they can also see the benefits of the Vitality Talisman. The price of tens of thousands of yuan does put off many people, but it is still worth it.
There are some that are not short of money. After a while, the number of our amulets was running out.
At this time, a group of people came, surrounding a Taoist priest. I immediately sensed the fluctuation of vitality in this Taoist priest, but his cultivation level was not high, naturally much worse than that of Taoist Zhao. But it was stronger than Yi Dazhu and Dong Yingdong.
He has made a lot of achievements, which can be regarded as a successful foundation. But looking at his shiny face, it is expected that he has spent most of his time outside the Taoist practice. How can he be as carefree as Taoist Zhao Xianyun Yehe! His age is also different from that of Taoist Zhao.
He is not much more than forty or fifty years old. He probably has no hope of taking any further steps in his spiritual path.
However, he still had a sharp eye and saw the amulet on our booth at a glance. He immediately squeezed out of the crowd and walked to our booth.
"Your talisman making skills are quite good. Did you make it?" The Taoist priest approached the booth and looked at Lin Yi's father condescendingly. In comparison, he felt that Lin Yi's father was just an ordinary person. He was just asking questions knowingly.
"The Taoist priest is joking, how can I make a vitality talisman? The most I can do is make a ghost talisman." Lin Yi's father laughed.
"Haha, you are also a very interesting person. You are good at making talismans. I have been busy practicing Taoism recently and have no time to make talismans, but there are too many people coming to my Taoist temple every day to ask for talismans. In order to meet the needs of these people, I have
I don’t have time to practice anymore. Your talismans are pretty good, so why don’t you provide talismans for my Taoist temple from now on, what do you think?” the Taoist Master said.
"Oh, you have become rich. This is Taoist Master Hongyi of Moshan Laojun Temple, a Taoist master. Since he has taken a fancy to your talismans, you will not have to worry about sales in the future." Someone next to him immediately looked at Lin with envy.
Dad Yi said.
Lin Yi's father remained calm and asked calmly: "Of course this is a good thing. But this talisman was not made by me, but by a Taoist master. It is worth a lot of money. If the price given by the Taoist priest is right, I can do it myself."
Nothing is impossible.”
"Oh?" Taoist Master Hongyi said softly, and then said, "How much do you want to buy this talisman?"
"This kind of amulet costs 10,000 yuan each. There is also a peach wood amulet that costs 100,000 yuan. This is the price set by the expert, and I dare not change it." Lin Yi's father said.
"No way, you dare to ask for 10,000 yuan for such a talisman? Are you sure you are not crazy about money?" Someone in the crowd immediately said loudly.
"That's right, even if you ask for an illuminated amulet from a famous ancient temple, it won't cost ten thousand, right?"
"That's right."
This group of people just didn't notice that the face of Taoist Hongyi was a bit ugly. The so-called consecrated amulets in the temple have always competed with Taoist Hongyi's amulets for business. Although they wanted to help Taoist Hongyi suppress the amulets.
price, but it can’t be done in this way, right?
"Shut up!" Taoist Master Hongyi shouted loudly.
The people around him finally became quiet.
"Did I say that this talisman is not worth ten thousand? Did I say that this talisman is too expensive? The production level of this talisman is on par with mine. A single talisman can save a life in a critical moment. You can learn from those famous ancient temples
Can the amulet you requested be made possible?" Taoist Priest Hongyi asked.
"Taoist Master, can this talisman really be made?" someone asked.
Taoist Master Hongyi smiled disdainfully and said: "If you don't believe me, you can buy a talisman and go out to do an experiment. If you wear the talisman and let it be hit by a car, if you are hit and killed, Pindao will pay for your life."
"ah?"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"Well, can you give me a discount? Give me a wholesale price." What is surprising is that this Taoist priest Hong Yi actually negotiated the price with Lin Yi's father. Is this the same Taoist priest who had the immortal style before?
I couldn't help but smile.
Taoist Master Hongyi glanced at me and didn't care. His old face seemed to be slightly red. But this was also an old face that had been hardened into iron, and there was no obvious change.
Taoist Master Hongyi quickly said: "How about this? After I finish today's report, I will find a secluded place to have a good chat with you. What do you think?"
"Then I'll be waiting for you." Lin Yi's father naturally hopes to get along with Master Hongyi. Although Lin Yi's father can't see the cultivation of Master Hongyi, he can naturally understand it.
status among these people.
Lin Yi's father waited for Taoist Master Hongyi to leave before a smile appeared on his face, "Coach Xiao Huang, it seems we don't need to worry about the sales of the talismans anymore."
I nodded, "I'll go in and listen. Do you want me to accompany you to the bank first?"
I'm a little worried about so much money in a box. I don't know if anyone is eyeing this place. If someone is eyeing this place, it will be dangerous for Lin Yi's father to go out with so much money. In addition to the previous Yi Da
The total money Zhu and Dong Yingdong spent on purchasing the talisman was almost a million. Such a large amount of cash was indeed extremely risky.
Lin Yi's father naturally understood what I meant. He felt more at ease with me here. Hearing what I said, he was really a little nervous. He started to take out a tissue to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Then I'd better go to the bank with you." I smiled.
Lin Yi's father was a little embarrassed: "Coach Xiao Huang, am I a little too useless?"
"It's okay. It's better to be careful about this kind of thing." I shook my head and helped Lin Yi's father lift the box. In Lin Yi's father's current condition, if he was asked to carry a box with so much money, he would probably tremble all over.
