Chapter 292: The Collector

After breaking our hands and feet as punishment for Tan Long, we didn't take anything from him, it was our own ethics, so when we left, we put this matter down.

Of course, if the matter of the Heavenly Bra Bureau is not over, or Tan Long still wants to take revenge, we will continue, the people who walk the rivers and lakes, there is still a responsibility for this.

After leaving, we embarked on the process of penance, in fact, I already have some objections, judging from the situation of Liu Laodao chasing Tan Long that night, his body is indeed much worse, but Liu Laodao insisted on it, and I had to comply.

Subsequently, we also began to find the soul nourishing wood, there was no way not to look for it, Chen Menghan's situation was worrying, he followed us every day, was devastated by the fierce yang energy, and became weaker and weaker, so I also deliberately went to find a lot of yin soil for her to alleviate Chen Menghan's weakness.

However, this is only a temporary measure, unless I can find a large amount of Yin soil, the kind that can move dozens of catties at every turn, to create an environment for Chen Menghan, otherwise I still have to continue to look for soul nourishing wood.

A week later, Liu Laodao and I were introduced by many people and met a folk collector, who was said to have news of soul nourishing wood.

This man is a collector of wood, and we visited his collection, which was an eye-opener, what rosewood, cypress, nanmu and so on, countless, large and small, full of hundreds of square meters of warehouse.

In addition, he is also a carving artist, all kinds of carving works, from more than ten meters large, several tons of lion, to small, thumb-sized Buddha statues, everything, hands, neck is also full of various beads, the economic strength is extremely strong.

"Mr. An, can you open our eyes and take a look at the legendary ebony?"

However, we don't need these precious woods, what we want to find is soul nourishing wood, and soul nourishing wood is mostly from ebony, but the source of ebony is a little wrong.

The formation of ebony is formed by burying it underground for thousands of years, and the law stipulates that everything in the ground belongs to the state, so once there is ebony, it is generally nationalized.

"Both, you also know what ebony is, so even if it was introduced by a friend, but I have to offend, I want to see it, please tell me your real identity, and take out your ID card"

Mr. Na An shook his head, did not agree or refuse, but made a request, just for fear that someone would punish him and come to fish for law enforcement.

Liu Laodao and I glanced at each other, Liu Laodao nodded, and agreed, we are innocent, and we are not afraid of being checked, so we showed our ID cards, and Mr. An wrote it down and asked people to check it.

Half an hour later, the news came back, and Mr. Na An said with a smile, "Liu Sanjue, Liu Daochang, this name is good, and the fake is smooth."

"Mr. Ann smiled"

"It's not a joke about you, it's serious, if I'm not mistaken, we had a relationship decades ago"

"Oh, yes, when"

"It's hard to remember, it should be almost forty years, on the edge of the Yellow River"

"By the Yellow River, there are not many surnames An, I remember, the first college students after the re-college entrance examination, went to the Yellow River to fish for wood and was almost killed as a thief, but it doesn't seem to be you."

"Of course it's not me, that's my brother, I was just a little kid at the time, I followed my brother around, I remember that you saved my brother, and finally my brother asked your name, and you reported a name of Liu Sanjue, I said how is this name so familiar, it turns out that it is really an old man"

"Things back then were just done conveniently, so Mr. An, what about your brother?"

"Hey, I passed away three years ago"

"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness"

"It's nothing, it's all this age, there's nothing you can't see, let's go, I'll take you to see my real private collection"

Mr. Naan said with a smile, and then led us to his basement, where another secret door was opened, and there was a smaller secret room with some treasures on display.

Most of them are antiques, and they are related to wood, and there are some logs, which are fragrant, and it can be seen that they are some extremely precious woods.

"Golden silk nanmu, ebony, superb huanghuali, and these tables, chairs and benches, tsk, it's really a big deal"

"See and laugh, this kind of vulgar thing shouldn't be able to enter Liu Daochang's eyes, this is the ebony you need, which one you like, you can take it away"

"Don't dare, don't dare"

Liu Laodao hurriedly waved his hand, we didn't dare to think about such a thing as pie falling from the sky, but Liu Laodao still carefully looked at the ebony, but finally shook his head.

"Daochang Liu, you haven't seen it yet?"

At this time, Mr. An was also surprised, his collection here can be said to be rare in the world, all kinds of top wood, this is not worth it, he really doesn't know what to do.

"Mr. An, let's be honest, we're here to nourish the soul wood..."

"Soul Nourishing Wood, this..."

"The so-called soul nourishing wood ·····"

"I see, what you're looking for is Yin Mu, it's a coincidence, few people dare to collect Yin Mu"

After listening to Liu Laodao's explanation, Mr. An immediately knew what was going on, and they called the soul nourishing wood Yin wood, but this Yin wood was a taboo for collectors.

The reason is very simple, this thing is too yin, so it is easy to provoke dirty things, who dares to put this thing at home, and there is no practicality, whether it is used to carve or make beads, no one dares to wear it, from the perspective of collection, it is not effective.

"I know, hey, it's hard to find"

Liu Laodao nodded, he also knew that the soul nourishing wood was difficult to find, he just had a fluke mentality to see if there were any collectors who made a mistake or missed a little.

After chatting a few more words, I said goodbye to Liu Laodao, but when I went out, I said to Liu Laodao

"Old man, did you really see this Mr. An's brother back then?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I think it's funny, if you really saved his brother back then, his reaction would be a little too indifferent."

"It's a long story, his brother was actually cheated back then, their brothers have the same hobbies, some people joked, saying that there are a lot of precious wood buried under the Yellow River, and he is going to fish, and in the end something bad happened, so I don't think it's a problem to have a lighter attitude."

"No, no, no, no, I always think that Mr. An has a problem, there are not many people surnamed An, otherwise check him?"

"This, forget it, for no reason, there is no need for this, it is always bad to check other people's privacy"

"Okay, then let's stay here for three days to see if he will look for us, if he will find us, it seems that there is still a story"

I nodded, it's really not good to spy on people's privacy, no one wants their privacy to be known, but I still have that gut feeling, that Mr. An definitely has something to do with us.

Liu Laodao should also feel this way, and Mr. An's performance was indeed a little unusual, so he agreed to stay here for three days to see the results.

We found a place to live, and it was still the same as before, walking around, looking at the scenery, seeing the places of interest, looking at the history and culture, and also looking at the feng shui topography, and we were very busy.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and we were all about to leave, but Mr. Na'an suddenly called us and told us that he had been paying attention to the matter of the Soul Cultivation Wood in the past few days, and had already inquired about where the Soul Cultivation Wood was, and asked us to meet and talk.

This time I made an appointment in the hotel, and the Chinese people are like this, and the probability of success at the dinner table is far greater than that of the office, which is the wine table culture.

Of course, we won't drink this time, after the injury, Dao Heng strictly forbids Liu Laodao to drink, but fortunately, he rarely drinks alcohol, otherwise it would be a problem to quit drinking.

After eating and drinking, Mr. An brought up the Soul Nourishing Wood again, and he told us that this Soul Nourishing Wood was in the hands of a friend of his, who was also a collector, but this person's personality was a little evil.

What kind of evil method, his collection of things is more special, he likes to collect strange things, the more weird things he likes, such as the skulls of the ancients, some burial goods in coffins, and even some cult things, the fetish is very weird.

So it is extremely difficult to get things from this kind of person, and it is basically impossible to buy them with money, and he himself has money, involving a variety of industries, although he is usually inconspicuous and very low-key, but he is definitely a very rich man.

"Mr. An, it seems that you already have the idea of exchanging soul nourishing wood from that person."

After listening to this, Liu Laodao asked, we have always believed that pies will not fall from the sky, and it is the same at this time, Mr. An took the initiative to mention, then there must be clues and ideas, of course, we need to pay a certain price.

"Well, well, what about me, ····· in the warehouse"

"Mr. An, in fact, there is something to say, I am a Taoist priest and respect everyone's decision, including businessmen, do you say yes?"

"Haha, Liu Laodao is really refreshing, since this is the case, then I will make it clear, although there are many treasures over there, but there is a lack of something, something to ward off evil spirits in the town, I don't know if Liu Laodao can give a little help in this regard"

"The town house wards off evil spirits, with Mr. An's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to do."

Liu Laodao frowned and said, Mr. An's financial resources we have seen, absolutely far beyond ordinary people, just the collection of that warehouse, at least more than 10 million, such a large financial resources can go to the temple to invite a Bodhisattva back, like ordinary magic weapons, peach wood swords, obsidian or something, can be bought in piles.

But he still needs something from us here to ward off evil spirits in his town, so it shows that the things he encountered are not small, even extremely serious, of course, it may also be for someone to get it.

"Well, I'm in trouble here, and I need something special."

"How a special law"

"I need Yoki"

Mr. An finally put forward his own request, the soul nourishing wood is the wood of the supreme yin, and what he needs is the supreme yang thing.
