The little Taoist priest winked at me and motioned for me to choose something else.
I ignored the little Taoist priest and just fell in love with this gourd.
This gourd is not jade, stone, gold, or silver. It is a naturally grown "old gourd", an "insect utensil" from the Qing Dynasty, and a model gourd.
The skin of the gourd is dark purple and has oxidized, forming an oily gem texture. The cover of the gourd can be opened, and the original "gourd vines" are retained on it. This kind of vine is called "dragon whiskers" in the industry.
What's strange is that at the end of the dragon's whiskers, there is a mini gourd as big as a thumb. It's not all finished yet. There is still a section of dragon's whiskers under the mini gourd. Under the dragon's whiskers, there is actually a mini gourd as big as a fingernail.
gourd!
This kind of one beard! One vine! Three gourds! It is simply a miraculous workmanship of nature! I have never heard of it before, let alone seeing it!
What’s even better! There’s a faint name on the belly of the big gourd.
"Big Li Liu"!
This man was a master of making insect tools in the Qing Dynasty! The gourds he made were specially played by the royal family members and Prince Baylor. During the Republic of China, one of his ordinary gourds could be sold for thousands of dollars! So Da Liliu is a real person.
The unbuckled gourd king.
This thing, I dare to say, is the only one in the world! It is impossible to find the second one!
Other official kiln porcelains are indeed valuable, but there are similar or identical ones in the Forbidden City and the National Museum! This gourd is not available, it is a unique one!
If I meet people who play with worms and see this gourd, I believe they will kneel on the ground and beg me to sell it to them!
That walking stick only costs about RMB 100,000 to hold it up, but I made a lot of money this time.
That night I stayed in the guest room of the Taoist Temple and spent the whole night speechless.
In the early morning, I was woken up by the chirping of birds outside the window. When I opened the door and went out, I saw the little Taoist priest sitting at the door in a daze.
The wind blew the little Taoist priest's long hair away. He was wearing a Taoist priest's robe and his eyes were lonely. For a moment, he no longer looked like the old Taoist priest who was full of foul words and lived a carefree life.
"Good morning! What's wrong? Are you thinking about your master?"
The little Taoist priest leaned against the door, feeling bitter A smile.
He suddenly turned his head and asked me, "Xiao Xiang, do you live just to make money? Is there anyone you particularly care about?"
"You're talking fucking nonsense. Of course I have people I care about. There are dozens of them." I said.
"Don't look down so early in the morning. Taoist Master Ma just said that the fate is over, but he didn't explicitly say that he will kick you out. Sanguan'er, the rhetoric that the fate is over is just an excuse for the weak to escape. The strong do not need fate.
For example, like me, when you are strong enough, the broken fate will be picked up one day."
"Depend on"
The little Taoist priest looked me up and down and said, "Damn it, are you quite educated?"
"Anyway, I'm better than you. When I was in school, I could get over 90 points in Chinese and over 50 points in English. Can you do that?"
The little Taoist priest immediately argued with me, "Don't underestimate people! Do you think I never went to school? I was the representative of the physics class when I was in school! Do you know what the hell an atom is?"
I shook my head.
The little Taoist priest immediately said, "The atom is the father of the molecule! You don't understand the principle of the atomic bomb, right?"
"Look, the atom gave birth to ten molecules. This is superbirth! Children fight with each other every day! Fission will occur during the fighting and collision! Finally, the father of the atom cannot control it! It will explode! This is the atomic bomb.
The basic principles!" He said seriously.
I took a puff of my cigarette, pointed at him and said, "You are buried as a Taoist priest. You should apply for a job to build nuclear bombs and contribute to our country's military development."
The little Taoist priest waved his hand, "I am mainly good at theoretical knowledge, but I am not very good at practice. Let's talk about it. By the way, has your tumor changed recently?"
"What the hell? This isn't a tumor, it's still the same as before."
The little Taoist priest thought for a while and said, "I have decided. Let's set off early tomorrow morning. It's a long way to go! We need to have a good rest today!"
"How far away? In which city?"
To be honest, I still don’t know where the old martial arts association’s headquarters is, or even its leader. They have been very mysterious in the past year since they were established.
The headquarters of the Changchun Society is in Northeast China, and the headquarters of the Puppet Society is in Beijing, so I was curious.
The little Taoist priest smiled mysteriously and said, "We have traveled more than a thousand miles here. Our base camp is impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's put it this way, even if the top masters of the Changchun Society and the Puppet Society join forces to attack! Then we will not be afraid at all! Where we are
There is no land route! There is no water route! We can only take the air route!”
The little Taoist priest is still trying to sell things off.
Where exactly is the city he describes?
This city has a long history, but it is very inconspicuous on the map. I will reveal the twelve words in advance to see who can guess it correctly first.
"Zhongtian Tower, Huaguang Tower, Baita Mountain, Nanjing Pass"
The next day.
We said goodbye to Daoshou, and the three of us went straight to the Land of Abundance!
That's right, He Weiwu, Xie Qirong, Fifty-fold, Save the Suffering Master, etc., is the gathering place for all the great masters of the old martial arts association! The base camp of the old martial arts association! It is in Langzhong.
I still remember that TV commercial from those early years.
"Wuliangchun | The light is brilliant and the fragrance is intoxicating for three thousand years!"
Then a few men carried wooden buckets and, damn, they were laughing and running on the water.
There are also those lyrics: "Feng Shui is so sentimental, thousands of winds flow, the country is so beautiful, and thousands of golden rusts are there."
The last "Jinxiu" is the final destination we arrived at after two days' journey, Langzhong and Jinping Mountain!
"Xiao Xiangzi, and this Master Yu, we are going to take the cable car from here. The car watchers are on duty in rotation. The person on duty these two days should be Master Bing. Master Bing has a weird temper. What did he ask? You all
Try to answer truthfully and don't make him angry, do you understand?"
This is the first time I heard the term "car watcher", but when you go to other people's territory, everything must be done according to their rules, I understand this.
Think of today When I saw Xie Qirong, I took deep breaths continuously to adjust myself so as not to show any fear.
It has been several years, and I, Xiang Yunfeng, am no longer Wu Xia Ameng.
I shouldn't be so afraid of him, I should face him bravely and try to look him directly.
It is hot in the mountains and the paths are difficult to walk.
Following the little Taoist priest over the top of the mountain, the scenery can be described as "naturally dangerous".
There is no road at all. Looking at the cliffs, there are only two chains running from east to west. There is a small cable car on the chain, and below the cable car is an extremely fast river.
At this time, beside the cable car, there was an old man wearing a ragged cotton-padded jacket standing guard. The old man was taking a nap.
In the hot summer, he was covered in a thick cotton-padded jacket, but he was not afraid of the heat and didn't seem to sweat at all.
Master Yu glanced at the old man in the cotton-padded jacket, immediately frowned and said to me, "Be careful, this old man is not very simple."
As soon as Master Yu finished speaking, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
At that moment, it gave me the illusion that it was winter all around, dark and cold!
"Sanguan, who are these two people and what are they doing here?" His voice also sounded cold.
The little Taoist priest immediately said, "Master Bing, they are my friends. They were invited by my grandpa to come to our party this time."
"Oh, that's it, hehe, take a slap from me!"
Without any warning, he suddenly flashed in front of me!
Without saying anything, he raised his palm and slapped me directly on the chest!
I felt like I was being pressed down by a huge mountain and couldn't move forward!
Master Yu pushed me away! He raised his right hand and slapped the old man in the face! The sound was huge!
Thumb thump thump!
Master Yu and the old man took three steps back at the same time!
The old man laughed loudly and said, "What a strong palm power! Are you from Qingjiang or Fengcheng!"
Master Yu's right hand dropped, he stretched out two fingers and hid them behind his back, and said lightly, "Fengcheng."
