Han Shan’s Sword Unsheathed

Chapter 31: A Gift

Views:

The Chongbi Peak Master does not admit that imitating other people's handwriting is a forgery, he insists that it is 'craftsmanship'.

How can it be a scam to make money by craftsmanship

Under Qian Yuzhi's campaign, the collection of a 'Jianzun Calligraphy Treasure' has become a proof of the status and status of a cultivator in the world.

"You don't even have a sword master calligraphy at home, so you're too embarrassed to feast your guests?"

"What, the calligraphy in my hand is a fake? Come and buy an authentic one!"

At the auction, 'Hengtong Juyuan' just let out the wind, saying that this painting and calligraphy is 'suspected' like swordsman's calligraphy. However, the real thing has never been photographed, and all of them are from the current Chongbi Peak Master.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Ji Xiao retreats all day long to practice swordsmanship, or runs and fights for major events in the world, how can he have the leisurely time to spread paper, study ink, write and draw

To say where the real work is, I am afraid it should be the enlightenment reading of practice written by Ji Xiao to Meng Xueli - "Beginning of the Dao". There are also color illustrations drawn by Ji Xiao on the inner page. Human beings.

But Meng Xueli didn't know that, after listening to Qian Yuzhi's story, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded, "Yes, everyone is happy!"

Ji Xiao helped his forehead helplessly.

Qian Yuzhi saw Meng Xueli's reaction was positive, and the talk was even more intense: "You are worthy of being Brother Ji Xiao's Taoist companion, other practitioners do not understand the beauty of me abandoning the sword to go into business, and they only scold me for playing with things and wasting my talents, but you can understand!"

Unlike most people in the cultivation world, he thinks that Jian Zun was bewitched by Meng Xueli and married a vulgar person, and the two are extremely unsuitable. Instead, he felt that Meng Xueli was not afraid of criticism from the outside world and dared to set up a feng shui array of 'making a fortune, transferring money, and seeking peach blossoms'. At least he was a real person, not a hypocrite.

Meng Xueli said with a smile: "The sages said, 'To be praised by the world without persuasion, and not to be discouraged by the world's faults', Senior Brother Qian, as his name suggests, has already reached this level." Diligent and not frustrated when criticized by everyone.

The two praised each other, and Ji Xiao couldn't listen. He coughed softly, and gently pulled Meng Xueli's sleeve with his hand under the table: "Master..." He is now a disciple, and the elders are not good at talking. I just hope that the little daoist understands what he means.

Meng Xueli patted the back of the young man's hand, thinking that he had a deep understanding: "It's not easy for you to be uncle Qian. It's more difficult to keep a business than to start a business." You have to keep your father's great business in the future.

He didn't say it too clearly, and believers would definitely understand.

Ji Xiao: "..."

Qian Yuzhi said: "Yes, it is more difficult to maintain a business than to start a business. Now these businesses seem to be developing smoothly, but in fact they are in crisis.

Meng Xueli asked in surprise, "Why?"

Qian Yuzhi said: "Elder Meng, you have to be careful. Every husband is innocent, but he is guilty. You are the only inheritor of Jianzun's legacy, and everyone knows that you have the truth of 'justifiable'. If something happens to you , who will these industries belong to? I can't eat them, maybe I belong to the Hanshan Sword Sect, or maybe I belong to the elder Taishang who has the highest generation and the deepest realm in Hanshan, which means it belongs to the family behind him. After all, the Zhou family in Huai Shui has a great business. To feed hundreds of people, no amount of money is enough.”

Meng Xueli listened, his expression became more serious, and he patted Ji Xiao's arm lightly. He wants to shelter the apprentice from the wind and rain until the apprentice grows up.

Qian Yuzhi displayed his folding fan: "It's like a piece of fat, others can't see it and can't eat it, they're drooling, but they're not willing to destroy this piece of meat."

Meng Xueli watched his fan change: "Huh?"

Qian Yuzhi looked down and hurriedly turned around: "I'm sorry, I took it wrong. I was busy at the end of the year a while ago, and I became a little grumpy."

It turned out that the fan was double-sided, with the words 'Harmony makes money' on the front and 'None of your business' on the reverse.

It's really extreme, Meng Xueli thought.

Meng Xueli said, "With such a huge industry, I'm afraid others can't take care of it well. If you really like it, you won't feel exhausted. What's the use of them?"

Qian Yuzhi said with a smile: "The money has grown to a certain extent, and the growth is only in numbers, but the impact of it is getting bigger and bigger. I sit in the northern Hanmen City and send a message, which can make Yongan City thousands of miles away. If Qi Gathering Pill is out of stock, the price of animal skins in Qinghe City in the south will increase overnight. They may not like the simple fun of earning and counting money, but they like this 'sense of control', do you understand?"

Meng Xueli was stunned, thinking that I know every word you said, and I don't know what it means when you put it together. It seems to be much more complicated than fighting and killing.

Ji Xiao saw that the little Taoist companion's eyes were dull and fell into a cognitive blind spot, and he whispered: "Master, the mountain road is not easy to walk after sunset." It's time for us to say goodbye.

This was the first time he spoke a long sentence after entering the door. Qian Yuzhi turned his eyes to him, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up:

"You, the eldest disciple, is the body of the innate sword spirit. He was supposed to be the apprentice of the real master or the supreme elder, but he was ordered by Senior Brother Hu Si to worship you as a teacher and live in Changchun Peak, right?"

Meng Xueli thought that it was true in the eyes of outsiders, so he nodded.

"Do you know what Han Shan said about you? They call you 'the illegitimate child of Heaven's Dao' in private, because you are uniquely lucky!" - In the first half of his life, he relied on a Taoist companion, and in the second half of his life, he relied on an apprentice.

Meng Xueli touched his nose and said, "It's okay to be extremely peaceful." Before joining with Ji Xiao, his fate was turbulent, with ups and downs, and he really couldn't say 'good luck'. I don't understand why the other party suddenly brought this up.

"Elder Meng, Ming people don't speak secretly. I want to sell the hypericum trees in Changchun Peak in 'Hengtong Juyuan'!"

Qian Yuzhi smiled enthusiastically, as if facing a wealthy boy: "For each twig sapling, I will first pay you sixty top-grade spirit stones to buy, and then sell them at two hundred top-grade spirit stones. After making money, We split the account between three and seven, I three, you seven, how about it?" He pity Jianzun Dao Companion is weak, and he has to bring an apprentice, so the benefits are very affordable.

Meng Xueli was taken aback: "No, everyone says this is tacky. If you can't sell it by then, you will lose money!"

Qian Yuzhi laughed: "They call you vulgar in their mouths, but in their hearts they envy you, but they hate you and laugh at others."

Meng Xueli: "I remember that although hypericum peach blossoms are delicate, the market price is only ten high-grade spirit stones. If you want to sell them so expensive, who would buy them?"

"It's not the same, this is the sapling of the golden peach blossom in Changchun Peak, which was planted by the swordsman Taoist. Planting it in the courtyard is like living in Changchun Peak, which makes you feel the warmest and sweetest spring... "Qian Yuzhi Star eyes flashed, "The most important thing is that if you pray sincerely, you can get a little bit of Meng Xueli's 'good luck', and from then on, you will get something for nothing, and in the peach blossoms in the sky, you will achieve a love that will captivate the city and the country. When you listen to Are you going to buy these?!"

I don't buy it! Ji Xiao thought, this is ridiculous.

He was worried, fearing that Junior Brother Qian would lead to the spoiling of the little Taoist companion.

I just heard Meng Xueli say honestly: "But the matter of 'good luck' is mysterious, how to get 'good luck'? People spend a lot of money to buy it back.

Qian Yuzhi looked at him in shock: "It's not a lie, we won't guarantee that we will be able to transfer. The sincerity is the spirit. Look at the people who are offering incense in the temple, not all of them are Buddhist practitioners. Some people are just asking for some comfort. The truth is, customers who have bought peach blossom trees have only encountered two possibilities: they have been transshipped, or they have not been transshipped, each accounting for 50%. Those who transshipped will say that this thing is effective. Think about it carefully? "

Meng Xueli thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "In that case, Senior Brother Lao Qian is here. My second disciple is named Yu Qishu. After three days, I will ask him to send saplings. Let's send 20 of them first, if they can be sold. "It just so happened that Yu Qishu was going to practice his fighting skills in the peach blossom forest, and cut some twigs by the way.

Although the gold and silver mountains left by Ji Xiao can't be eaten in a few lifetimes, he also wants to make money by himself to support his family and apprentices!

At this time, Meng Xueli didn't know that many years later, the golden peach blossoms of Changchun Peak were regarded as a treasure by the cultivation world, and a thousand dollars were hard to buy.

"Don't bother! Waiting for it to sell out, I'm afraid I have to give gifts to Elder Meng. Please provide for my family alone." Qian Yuzhi thought thoughtfully, "Speaking of gifts, Sword Sovereign is stored in 'Hengtong Juyuan' The jade shard you said was a gift for you, when would Elder Meng want to take it back?"

Meng Xueli said in shock, "What? What happened to my Taoist companion?"

Qian Yuzhi was even more shocked: "You don't know? Things have been kept here."

Meng Xueli was heartbroken and said in a daze: "Yes, he said it."

He seemed to return to the day Ji Xiao left. There is no moon in the sky, and the night covers Changchun Peak. Ji Xiao came to the pond to look for him, the black cloak was floating in the wind, his face was like ice and snow.

"I have something for you, wait for me to come back."

Then he never came back.

Qian Yuzhi: "Wait a minute."

He went out for a moment. Not long after, the steward who had just led the way knocked on the door, brought a tin box, and respectfully retire.

When Ji Xiao saw this, he held his forehead again. After this day, he couldn't count how much helplessness he felt in his heart.

Three years ago, Hu Si said that the Taoist couple should be given a gift for their joint membership. He made this with his own hands, but Meng Xueli had just recovered from a serious injury and was so weak that he was not suitable to use it. So it was stored at the bottom of the mountain, and I wanted to wait for Meng Xueli to go down the mountain. Naturally, it was time to use it.

As for what Meng Xueli thought, the gift he mentioned before leaving was another unfinished product. Two things are completely different.

Ji Xiao thought about it for a second, but it's not a bad thing, the time is right for the little Taoist companion to get this one now.

The iron box was opened, and Meng Xueli held out a white jade box about three feet long. The tentacles are delicate and warm, a warm jade.

He stroked the fine water cloud pattern on the box: "What's in it?"

Qian Yuzhicu smiled narrowly, and replied in a low voice, "How can I open the gift between Taoist companions. Elder Meng can open it again when he returns to the peak, and don't let me see what I shouldn't see."

"Cough cough cough cough." Ji Xiao coughed violently, his cheeks flushed slightly.

Meng Xueli hurriedly stood up and patted his back: "Ting Yun, slow down."

After saying that, he picked up the jade box and said, "Senior Brother Qian, it's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality. We'll leave now."

Qian Yuzhi waved the fan of 'Harmony to make money': "Walk slowly, walk slowly."
