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 beard, there is a mini gourd as big as a thumb. It's not finished yet. There is still a section of dragon's beard under the mini gourd. Under the dragon's beard, there is actually a mini gourd as big as a fingernail. gourd!
Such a one! A vine! Three gourds! It is simply a miraculous work of nature! Never heard of it before, let alone seeing it!
There’s something even better! Where is the big gourd belly! There is a person with a shallow name.
"Big Li Liu"!
This person is the master of making insect tools in the Qing Dynasty! The gourds he made were specially made for the royal family and Prince Baylor to play with. During the Republic of China, one of his ordinary gourds could be sold for thousands of dollars! Therefore, Da Li Liu is the out-and-out King of Gourds.
This thing, I dare to pat my chest and say, there is only one in the world! It is impossible to find the second one!
It is true that other official kiln porcelains are valuable, but the Forbidden City! There are similar or identical ones in the National Museum! This gourd doesn’t exist, it is an orphan!
If I meet people who play with worms and see this gourd, I believe they will kneel on the ground, crying and begging me to sell it to them!
That walking stick only costs about RMB 100,000 to last. This time I made a lot of money.
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 little Taoist priest who used to be full of swear words and live a carefree life.
"Good morning! What? Are you thinking about your master?"
The little Taoist priest leaned against the door and smiled bitterly.
He suddenly turned his head and asked me: "Xiaoxiang, 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 have such a slumped look on your face so early in the morning. Taoist Master Ma just said that your fate has ended, but he didn't explicitly say that you will be kicked out of the house. Sanguan'er, the rhetoric that fate has ended 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?"
"I'm better than you anyway. 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...well...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 moment 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, and I don’t even know its leader. They have been very mysterious in the more than a 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! We There is no land route there! There is no water route! You can only take the air route!"
