Speaking of this, Yun Xiaobao became a little silent.
My master couldn't help but his face changed, and his voice became a little heavy, and he said, "Is it possible that something happened to your family's treasure root?"
Even if we don’t want to be too deeply involved with ordinary people, Master’s heaviness is real. After all, as far as we know, Yun Baogen is a single descendant of the Yun family. If something really happens... After all, Master has no regard for the Yun family. There is also some friendship, otherwise I would not choose the Yun family to come to do business, and it can even be said to be somewhat helpful.
After Yun Xiaobao heard these words, he put down the cup in his hand heavily, sighed, and actually shed two lines of tears in his eyes. He said with a slightly choked voice: "If something really happens to Baogen, I will Are you still alive? But..."
At this point, Yun Xiaobao may have felt a little out of control. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears first. After calming down, he said: "Master Jiang, you don't have to hide it, you also know... our family used to He is a local master, that is, he started his career by robbing tombs. People often say that if you do this business, you will lose your descendants and so on... No matter how hard you work, you will not be able to maintain wealth, and you may even end up miserable in your old age. Therefore, since our ancestors stopped doing this business, With regret and fear in my heart, I try my best to be kind to others and do more good deeds in order to offset the sins I have done before.”
Having said this, Yun Xiaobao poured himself another glass of wine, took a slight sip, and then said: "Actually, our wealth has made me very uneasy. Every day is like walking on thin ice, and I always feel that we are What kind of retribution should I receive? If there is retribution, I hope it will be financial. The older I get, the more I feel that no matter what, people are the most important... But after all, there is still retribution, Master Jiang, you too You know, our Yun family has always been underpopulated, and when it comes to Baogen’s generation, we almost couldn’t save this child.”
Master and I listened quietly. As the saying goes, every family has its own difficulty in reciting sutras. From this point of view, wealthy families may not necessarily be happier than ordinary families.
At this point, Yun Xiaobao took another sip of wine and sighed: "Fortunately, I bought Master Jiang a piece of spiritual jade at a very small price for Bao Gen'er to wear closely. Over the years, this child has grown a lot. It went well, but at any rate there was no danger. I took a closer look at how many cracks there were in the spirit jade. I counted them carefully, and it turned out that they were as many as the number of disasters Baogen had suffered since he was a child. It is really amazing... "
"Do you want to buy another piece of spiritual jade?" Master asked with squinted eyes.
This spiritual jade is not important to cultivators. What is important is that it is used when performing certain spells, especially when setting up formations. Careful cultivators will also specially warm up a piece of spiritual jade for it. Defend yourself... What is not important is that spiritual jade can be warmed by the cultivator, and the effect is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Master and I had nothing, and we were searched by Liu Shengwang, but he did not take away the tiger claws and agarwood beads from me because he only cared about whether they were dangerous. , the tiger soul in the tiger claws has already melted into my soul, and the agarwood beads, Liu Shengwang didn't see anything anyway.
Just like the master's dry tobacco pole was not taken away, but the master had a piece of spiritual jade hanging on his body, but he didn't pay much attention to it. The Taoists just liked jade, so they took care of it.
"If there is, of course I want to buy it." Yun Xiaobao was naturally excited when my master asked.
"Well, I understand." Master agreed lightly. In fact, this is the only thing we can trade with Yun Xiaobao during our trip. I will definitely not sell tiger claws and agarwood.
"There's just one more thing. I want to ask Master Jiang for a favor. The reward is actually easy to say." Yun Xiaobao was naturally excited when he heard that there was a spiritual jade to buy, but as soon as he said this, he restrained himself The excitement turned into a little worry.
For Master and I, as long as the money is enough, we don’t really care about real rewards or anything like that, so Master didn’t promise anything, he just said: “Can you tell me?”
If you tell me this, I'm afraid it's all for the sake of seeing some friendship between the Yun family and us.
"Master Jiang, wait a moment." As he spoke, Yun Xiaobao picked up the mobile phone on the table and gave some instructions. Not long after, a man carrying a box came up.
"The family is always prepared to have some spare money in case of emergencies... Master Jiang, spiritual jade is priceless. I want to get something like this as soon as possible. We might as well trade this before we talk." Yun Xiaobao said sincerely said.
I frowned slightly, what was he going to say next? Are you still worried that he will offend me and Master, and Lingyu will not betray him anymore, so you are so flustered
However, while I was thinking about it, the man carrying the suitcase had already walked to the table, opened the suitcase respectfully, and then retreated silently.
I glanced at the suitcase. Inside were stacks of money. I didn't know how much there was, maybe half a million
However, Master and I were both calm. Master just said: "You haven't even seen the Lingyu? You just paid so much?"
"I don't have much money. I just have cash at home, a total of 630,000. I bought a piece of spiritual jade so cheaply back then. I think our family took advantage of it, but according to our family background, we cannot bear such a great blessing. I'm lucky enough to be able to buy another piece of spiritual jade this time. No matter what, I have to express all my sincerity... Although the spiritual jade is priceless, of course this is not all my sincerity. I can still withdraw some at any time. Money..." Yun Xiaobao was very sincere when he said this.
However, the master only took out five stacks of money from it, and then stopped, saying: "You didn't get an advantage when you bought that piece of spiritual jade before. The price was not low at that time, and in my eyes it was just that The price is something both parties are willing to do. Now that this piece of spiritual jade has been warmed for a long time, the price is naturally higher, and the money now is not as valuable as the money back then, so it’s just this amount. In addition, I need a car. , any very ordinary second-hand car will do.”
After finishing speaking, Master looked at me and said: "Chengyi, can you drive?"
"Yes." I looked at Master and said. Of course I knew what Master had planned. We had to rush to Xiangxi all the way, and it was really convenient to have our own car. What's more, we had to go to Tibetan areas later
"That's good, I didn't teach you in vain." The master said very calmly, as if he taught me how to drive.
But I have to add: "Master, I don't have a driver's license, I..."
Master glanced at me and was about to say something, but Yun Xiaobao said: "This is really a small problem. If Chengyi needs it, he can get his driver's license in an hour. (The driver's license situation at that time, you can use some means to get it) , I just want to take a photo right away."
I have to say that this Yun Xiaobao is still very good at getting things done. While he was talking, the master had already taken out the spiritual jade from around his neck and handed it to Yun Xiaobao. The material of this jade itself was a piece of jadeite, which was also jadeite. Category, material and so on, it is definitely not good material, that is, ordinary bean seeds.
But after being warmed, perhaps for a relatively long time, there was a layer of warm precious light flowing that ordinary people could feel... This experience can only be understood, not expressed in words.
The jade was not specially carved, it was a simple piece anyway, but Yun Xiaobao held it in his hands as if he had found a treasure. He was very excited. At the end, he did not forget to look up at the master and say: "Master Jiang, those money Just accept them all, and I will prepare the car as well.”
But the master just shook his head gently and did not agree.
Maybe Yun Xiaobao also guessed that the cultivator might have some quirks, so he didn't insist too much and could only agree. After being excited for a while, he carefully put away the spiritual jade, calmed down, and said to my master: "Then I would like to trouble Master Jiang to listen to my verbose words about Baogen. I really hope Master Jiang can help me with this small favor, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t, it’s just my own thoughts.”
"Say." Master said quietly. At this time, Yun Xiaobao picked up the phone again and ordered someone to help me take photos, prepare my car, and get my certificate. In short, I made two or three phone calls.
After doing all this, Yun Xiaobao said: "The thing itself is that the child Bao Gen'er became a Taoist priest ten years ago? No, or is it called a cultivator in your circle?"
"Ah?" Master and I exclaimed almost at the same time, if so, why did Yun Xiaobao buy our spiritual jade? If Yun Baogen had become a cultivator ten years ago, he could have used himself to warm up the spiritual jade, because cultivators are more efficient than ordinary people and can indeed warm up the jade to be better.
"Two of you, don't be anxious. Just listen to me finish this story. Baogen is not like you, one master and one disciple... He has joined some sect. I don't understand the things in the circle of cultivators. I Just based on personal feelings, do you think that sect is a bit bad?" Yun Xiaobao's face became even heavier.
Master remained calm, but my mood fluctuated because of this. What sect is bad? I began to feel faintly uneasy, but on the surface I continued to listen to Yun Xiaobao.
