It contains rich spiritual energy. Could it be the legendary spiritual stone?
The first time he saw spiritual energy existing in a solid state, Cao Yi couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Yang Huting's eyes flashed with pride, he stretched out his rough and dark hands, caressed the spiritual stone covered with charms with a loving look on his face, and asked: "Taoist priest, guess where this spiritual stone came from?"
It is indeed a spiritual stone!
Cao Yi withdrew his gaze, looked at Yang Huting with a smile and said, "This spiritual stone has a faint earthy smell. It should have been dug out not long ago."
Yang Huting nodded and continued: "A month ago, something strange happened in an open-air coal pit in the coal mine owned by local wealthy businessman Zhang Yiyuan. No matter what kind of seeds or cores they were buried in the soil, they would take root and sprout the next day.
I accidentally heard the news and asked Daoist Ge to take a look. He said that there was probably a Lingshi mine down there, so I sent someone to see Zhang Yiyuan and offered to buy the coal mine. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yiyuan opened his mouth and raised the price by three cents. Not to mention, they also want an iron mine in my name. Zhang Yiyuan is a relative of Chief Yan, so I can't use special means.
So, I spent more than half a month to collect enough money and started construction the day before yesterday. I just dug out a few broken spiritual stones yesterday evening. A big python that can dig holes suddenly appeared and almost swallowed up the spiritual stones in one night. Clean, leaving only three pieces for me. "
"They are all people whose families own mines."
Cao Yi whispered.
Yang Huting didn't hear clearly and asked doubtfully: "Taoist Priest, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Cao Yi shook his head, glanced at the spirit stone and said, "Since the spirit stone is so hard-won, I can't accept it."
Yang Huting pushed the spirit stone forward and said, "I am talking about this to show my sincerity. Taoist priests must not refuse."
"All right"
Cao Yi reluctantly agreed.
A smile broke out on Yang Huting's face.
"It's time for Pindao to do morning lessons. You two will wait a moment."
Cao Yi got up and went to the shrine.
"Teacher, there is another gift that I haven't opened yet."
The female adjutant on the side, or rather Li Wanhua, said.
"Let's wait until the Taoist Master comes back."
Yang Huting said lightly.
Li Wanhua glanced at the cup of scented tea on the small wooden board and said, "I am also a little thirsty."
Yang Huting reached out and picked it up and handed it to Li Wanhua.
Li Wanhua was stunned for a moment and took it with some flatterment.
While drinking, he would steal glances at Yang Huting from time to time.
One minute, two minutes...seven minutes, Li Wanhua, who drank slowly, finally finished her drink.
He put the cup back on the stone table, stood back, and his face returned to seriousness.
Ten minutes later, a splash of water broke the silence.
"someone"
Li Wanhua quickly drew his gun, pointed it at the earthen wall that Cao Yi had erected not long ago, and slowly walked over.
Yang Huting stood up, put his hand on the holster, and followed him with a puzzled look on his face.
Passing through the small door in the earthen wall, an ordinary ancient well came into view.
"Teacher, please stay where you are, I'll go over and take a look."
Li Wanhua said.
Then he walked carefully to the ancient well and was about to look inside.
With a bang, five colors of spiritual energy spurted out. Right in front of Li Wanhua's face.
With a thump, Li Wanhua fainted and fell to the ground.
Yang Huting drew his gun, and then showed a suspicious expression: "When this gas and the spirit stone mine were dug out, the gas that came out seemed to be spiritual energy."
At this moment, the five-color spiritual energy fell down little by little, like a resurgence.
Yang Huting took two steps in three steps, walked quickly to the ancient well, and looked inside. The next second, he showed a shocked expression. The five-color spiritual energy inside was so rich that it was sticky.
The colorful bubbles kept getting bigger and seemed to be about to burst out again.
He quickly backed away.
After taking less than seven steps, the five-color spiritual energy spurted out again.
"My precious gift may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the Taoist Priest."
Yang Huting smiled to himself.
As soon as the words fell, there was a splash of water, and a shadow disappeared in a flash.
Yang Huting rubbed his eyes and looked around.
On the branch of a jujube tree in the southeast, he saw a scene that surprised him even more.
A frighteningly old-looking ginseng was hanging on it, swaying in the breeze, like a hanged man.
"Such a precious ginseng is just hanging on the tree."
Yang Huting once again had a new understanding of Cao Yi.
"ah"
Li Wanhua, who was lying by the ancient well, suddenly sat up and looked around with a confused expression.
At the same time, the five-color spiritual energy fell back.
Yang Huting walked over quickly, picked up Li Wanhua by the waist, and walked out quickly.
Li Wanhua, who was shaking up and down, was shocked that her always cold-faced teacher actually hugged her.
Soon, Yang Huting, who was holding Li Wanhua, returned to the stone table and sat down.
"you?"
Cao Yi, who had just come out from morning class, looked at the two of them in shock.
This era is already so open.
At this time, Li Wanhua was curled up in Yang Huting's arms, her cheeks flushed.
Just like in modern society, dog lovers are in love and passionate.
"ah"
Only then did Yang Huting realize that something was wrong and pushed Li Wanhua out.
The latter also reacted, stood up, adjusted his clothes a few times, and his expression returned to seriousness.
Yang Huting was embarrassed for a few seconds, his eyes fell on another gift in the small suitcase, and he diverted his attention and said, "I have another gift for the Taoist Priest."
After saying that, I don't know what I thought of, but a trace of unnaturalness flashed across my face.
"Oh, what is it?"
Cao Yi came over with a smile.
Li Wanhua on the side didn't wait for Yang Huting's signal, bent down to pick up the wooden box containing the gift, placed it on the stone table, and opened it.
A ginseng plant that is five or six hundred years old lies quietly inside.
"This ginseng is"
Yang Huting said a few words, and the scary old ginseng hanging on the branch suddenly appeared in his mind, and he didn't know how to continue.
Cao Yi looked at Yang Huting in confusion, why didn't he say anything anymore.
Seeing that his master had stopped for some reason, Li Wanhua explained: "This 500-year-old ginseng was bought by the master and an Englishman who participated in the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China when he was young. It cost a total of two hundred A small goldfish. Ginseng of this vintage is no longer available on the market.”
After saying that, he looked at Cao Yi with a suspicious look, as if to say, you don't seem to be worthy of this ginseng.
"not bad"
Cao Yi said something subconsciously.
Li Wanhua thought she heard wrongly, so she was stunned for a moment and said, "Taoist Master, you may not have heard clearly. I said five hundred years."
"Listen clearly"
Cao Yi looked at Li Wanhua and replied with a smile.
Li Wanhua wants to say more.
Yang Huting's voice sounded: "Although this ginseng plant is young, it is my heart's desire."
Li Wanhua opened her mouth and looked at Yang Huting blankly.
Five hundred years ago, she heard wrongly, or Master was confused.
"That poor Taoist would be disrespectful"
Cao Yi did not refuse as before.
"I won't disturb the Taoist priest anymore. In the evening, I will send someone to pick up the Taoist priest."
Yang Huting said.
"good"
Cao Yi nodded.
Yang Huting took Li Wanhua and left the Taoist temple.
