Facing Yang Xianxian, Zhao Ran got straight to the point: "Is there a Taoist temple on Luoye Island?"
Yang Xianjin popped up a small whiteboard and replied: "Yes, almost all islands have them."
Zhao Ran asked: "Which god is enshrined?"
"Empress Tianfei."
The Heavenly Concubine is the deity of the Taoist sect, which shows that there are still subconscious and traditional traditions of respecting the Taoist sect and assimilating to the same culture in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. This is the most precious thing.
Zhao Ran was very satisfied: "Very good, I hope that Luoye Island will ask the Taoist gods to bring back the statue of the Heavenly Concubine."
The statues on Luoye Island are meaningless to the Taoist sect. The statue of the God of Xinli that is connected to the Xinli Pond in Jiuzhou Pavilion must be installed. This is what the Taoist sect values most.
Perhaps Luoye Island had considered this issue before, or perhaps Yang Xian was granted full power when he set out. He readily accepted this condition and the Taoist sect's request to station a temple blessing and a sutra master.
Zhao Ran was very pleased, took out a list and handed it over: "Take a look."
The armor listed on the list is:
One hundred collars of rune light armor, priced at three thousand taels of silver;
Fifty sets of light weapons, swords, shields, and magic weapons, priced at one thousand taels of silver;
The long-hook magic weapon is fifty poles, and its price is five hundred taels of silver;
There are twenty hand-held crossbows, each with fifty crossbow arrows, and the price is two thousand taels of silver;
Thirty bent-back bow instruments, each with fifty arrows, cost two thousand five hundred taels of silver;
Five French crossbows and heavy cannons, 300 supporting heavy crossbows, 50 spirit-gathering talismans, and a silver price of 10,000 taels.
The total of the above is nineteen thousand taels, and comes with thirty low-level activated array talismans.
The list also lists the talismans:
There are two hundred and fifty low-level talismans of water, fire, earth, and gold each, and the silver price is five thousand taels;
Fifty pieces of each of the four high-level talismans mentioned above cost four thousand taels of silver;
One hundred wind talismans and one hundred defensive talismans each, priced at one thousand taels of silver;
Fifty soul-gathering talismans cost two thousand taels of silver.
A total of twelve thousand taels.
There is also a recommended list of magical artifacts on the list, including three mid-level magical artifacts and sixteen low-level magical artifacts, which are sold in packages for 10,000 taels.
To be honest, the price is quite expensive. The military armor magic weapon is twice as expensive, and the talisman is more than ten times more expensive! After the advent of the Dharma Platform in Maharaja Mountain, the cost of the fourth-level and lower talismans produced by Qifu Pavilion has increased significantly. The reduction, although it is not as exaggerated as one tael of silver like the flying talisman, is usually only about two to three taels of silver. Including the most expensive spirit-gathering talisman, it has also been reduced to five taels of silver.
What is really sold at the market price is the batch of mid- to low-level magic weapons that can be used by monks.
"Are they all new?"
"certainly!"
“Bought it!”
The price was indeed high. Yang Xianjin was not a fool and knew it was expensive, but he still bought it without hesitation because of the batch of battle array armor and French crossbow heavy cannons.
Although you can buy scattered military armor from Western countries at sea, the quality is not as good as the Taoist standard equipment. Most of them are even second-hand or third-hand goods. You have to go to great lengths to repair them when you buy them back. There are always various problems when using them. kind of problem.
You can buy new products from Qi Fu Pavilion in bulk, and it doesn’t cost much money!
What's more, this is the first time we have cooperated. Everyone knows that if the cooperation is happy in the future, the price of the next batch of goods will definitely come down.
The business of 41,100 taels was completed, and Zhao Ran could take over the Taoist temple on Luoye Island and drive the first nail in the heart of the East China Sea. Luoye Island would use this batch of equipment to upgrade its naval warfare strength to a new level. Greatly enhanced self-protection capabilities.
But Yang Xianjin was not satisfied and typed out subtitles: "I also want fire dragon cannons, water dancing dragons, golden armor and golden weapon talismans, earth flame golden light talismans, ten thousand-edged water arrow talismans, prohibition talismans, and various thunder talismans!"
Zhao Ran said: "I won't hide it from you. This is the first time in hundreds of years for the Taoist sect to sell weapons and equipment to overseas monks. For this reason, there are many different opinions and considerable resistance in the general view. If I can give you this opening, I will
The Cock Cing Temple has already exhausted all its efforts. The talismans you just mentioned are all highly destructive magic weapons and talismans. As far as the current situation is concerned, the general view will not take them out."
Yang Xianxian was silent for a moment and continued to type subtitles: "Compared with the Island Owners Alliance, our Luoye Island has a huge gap in strength. We need these things to protect ourselves."
Zhao Ran advised: "Don't be impatient. As I said just now, as far as the current situation is concerned, the overview will not be released, so under what circumstances can it be released? If Luoye Island shows the opposite of Daomen
Friendship, sincerity, and even trust. When Daomen can completely trust Luoye Island, will these things you want still be a problem? My words, please think about it carefully."
Yang Xianxian took a deep breath and asked: "When can the delivery be delivered? I have to hurry back to Luoye Island. The owner of Tingfeng Island and the brothers are waiting for my news."
Zhao Ran counted the days: "I'll deliver the goods to you in seven days."
"Does it take that long?"
"It's said to be brand new. It's impossible for these things to be created out of thin air as soon as you hand over the money, right?"
Yang Xianxian sighed helplessly and could only nod.
In fact, military magic weapons and other weapons can be moved from the warehouse of the fifth military camp, and they are guaranteed to be brand new or 90% new. As for the talismans, Zhao Ran has them at his fingertips. What he is waiting for is Tianfei
The goddess statue.
Under the supervision of Jiuzhou Pavilion, late at night on the sixth day, the statue of the Heavenly Concubine was discharged from Sanqing Pavilion as a flying magic weapon and airlifted to Jiming Temple.
A pair of Taoist couples came down. Tang Xianzu, the envoy of Xianling Palace, introduced enthusiastically: "This is Abbot Zhao of Jiming Temple, and these two are Taoist Liang and Taoist Lun of Qingyun Pavilion in Lingnan."
Zhao Ran clasped his fists and said: "Last autumn, I saw a report about a virtuous couple in "Junshan Notes". The husband and wife both broke out of the country and were consecrated as archmage. It became a good story among colleagues."
The statue of the Imperial Concubine was urgently needed, and the Jiuzhou Pavilion monks in Nanzhili, Jiangsu and Zhejiang had no time to rush the work. It happened that Lun Daidi, who was also the statue refiner of the Jiuzhou Pavilion, was refining the statue for a newly completed Temple of the Imperial Concubine, so Zhou Zhenren
He personally gave instructions and urged her to send it to Lingnan first for urgent needs after the completion, just to make up for this shortage.
Lun Daidi's double monk Liang Xiaoyao is also from Sanqing Pavilion. When they heard that Sanqing Pavilion was preparing candidates to be posted overseas, the couple put their minds together and simply applied to go to sea together to experience island life, so they came to Ying.
sky.
These two will be the first batch of monks to be sent overseas from Jiming Temple. Lun Daidi will serve as the temple blessing of Tianfei Empress Temple on Luoye Island, and Liang Xiaoyao will serve as the sutra master. As a monk of Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lun Daidi's main task is to preside over sermons.
, to increase credibility. As a monk of Sanqing Pavilion, Liang Xiaoyao's job is to assess the situation and find out information.
Both of them were professionals in their respective jobs and did not need training in business matters. Zhao Ran spent one night introducing them to the background and situation of the mission, and then hurriedly sent them to the ship on Luoye Island.
Watching the ship leave Longgang Pier side by side with Tang Yaozu, Zhao Ran said: "In any case, it is a blessing for our Taoist sect to have such a couple of monks. I hope they can come back safely."
Tang Yaozu said: "Didn't Abbot Zhao have the same experience of going to the West back then? It is precisely because we, the people of Sanqing Pavilion, have gone on and on, shed blood and sacrificed one after another regardless of personal safety, that we have the peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty today. This
It is the responsibility of me, the monk of Sanqing Pavilion! It can be said to be unfortunate, or it can be said to be very lucky!"
Zhao Ran looked at the Tang Yuan envoy and involuntarily made another incision: "Hello?"
