"Brother, do you have a favorite?"

Li Tong looked at Li Mo with a blank eye.

She collected all these things carefully in Kyoto, and it took a lot of thought and I don't know how many places to find them. There are valuable and unvaluable things, all of which are strange and uncommon. It was not an easy task to pick a gift for Li Mo, he had seen too many good things.

What famous calligraphy and paintings, antiques and curiosities, for others, extremely precious things, put in front of Li Mo, he didn't bother to look at it, and directly asked people to enter the warehouse, and he couldn't raise the slightest interest.

Only some strange and rare things can slightly arouse Li Mo's interest and glance at it a few times. But it doesn't have to be weird and rare.

Anyway, it's hard to please.

This time, Li Tong spent more than a month, and in the end, she only collected a dozen or so things that she thought might arouse Li Mo's interest.

Li Tong stared at Li Mo's expression, and his breathing subconsciously lightened.

I saw Li Mo's eyes casually glance over those things, and he didn't stop. It seems that this time eighty percent failed again, and none of them had any intention of Li Mo.

Li Tong was a little disappointed, but it wasn't too sad.

If you can see anything casually, it won't be Li Mo. Li Tong doesn't know how many things Li Mo has given him, and Li Mo has very few things to look at.

What he doesn't like, Li Mo will never reluctantly say that he likes it.

It's not surprising that this time it failed again.

I'll just look for it next time.

However, at this time, Li Mo spoke up.

"This one is okay."

Li Mo pulled and pulled out a peach wood ornament from those things.

Peach wood can be used to ward off evil spirits, although the reputation of the person who carved this peach wood ornament is not obvious, but the skill is extremely profound, it is some famous works that Li Mo has seen, compared to this, it is also inferior, it is definitely a rare good product in the peach wood ornament. The texture of the mahogany used is also excellent.

However, Li Mo didn't take a fancy to these.

The most rare thing is that this carving is a Bodhisattva who specializes in dispelling illness and avoiding disasters. The bodhisattva treasure is solemn and has a special aura.

Although Li Mo has a lot of good things there, Li Mo has not been very interested in the things of gods, gods, Buddhas and Buddhas, so he really doesn't have this thing in his impression.

Li Mo thought about it, and smiled slightly approvingly at Li Tong.

Li Tong was overjoyed.

I really showed Li Mo a thing, and this time my luck was really good.

"Brother, your vision is so good, I have specially asked people to see this peach wood ornament, and it is said that it is a very rare thousand-year-old peach wood from the old forest of Feicheng, at least thousands of years. Brother, you know what? If you want to say that the peach wood in the old forest of Feicheng is an old spirit, it is the best effect among the peach trees. Especially in the old woods, the effect is even better. But now those thousand-year-old peach trees in the old forest have reached the end of their lives and died, leaving only some hundreds, more than a hundred years, and decades. Therefore, this kind of peach wood products that are more than 1,000 years old can not be seen on the market now, and it is a good thing with no price, that is, a small peach wood pendant, which is extremely difficult to see, not to mention this kind of large ornament, which is simply priceless reads;. ”

"The person who carved this ornament, the passer-by, although he is not well-known in the carving world, but this carver, even the treasure connoisseur of the Zhizhen Pavilion said, is definitely a master's level, and he is not an ordinary master. Don't say that these masters in the world are incomparable, it is the work of the most famous Taoxin monk in the previous dynasty, compared to this person, it is comparable in carving, but in terms of aura, it is inferior. This person must be a hermit who doesn't like fame, and I'm afraid that this is the only one that will come out. ”

"Moreover, after seeing this ornament, Master Lingyin of the White Horse Temple called 'Amitabha Buddha', sat down on the spot, looked at this ornament for three days and three nights, and then retreated. Rumors of this in Kyoto have spread widely. It is said that this Buddha carving has been psychic, has mana, and can ignite people who are destined to become a great way. Even people who do not have the Buddha's fate can be sheltered, avoid all diseases, eliminate disasters and disasters, and live a long life. ”

Speaking of the origin of this ornament, Li Tong was too proud.

She really didn't spend much money on this thing, but it was very pitiful to see a depressed woman holding a sick child.

Li Tong somehow moved his heart of compassion at that time, and looked at the Buddha carved by the ornaments, and felt that it was very pleasing to the eye, anyway, the woman only asked for five hundred taels of silver to treat the child, which was really nothing to Li Tong. I just took it.

At that time, I didn't have any hope, just to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

I never thought that I would get such a good thing.

In the end, it became a sensation throughout Kyoto.

Thinking about it now, Li Tong is still very proud.

"Brother, you don't know! The eyes of the shopkeeper of the Supreme Treasure Pavilion were red, and he grinded me vigorously, bidding 100,000 taels of gold to buy it from me and be the treasure of their pavilion. ”

"Humph! He thought it was too cheap. Lakh? Don't even think about 100,000 of this kind of thing, don't even think about 200,000. Lao An came to his mother in person, and wanted to pay 300,000 taels for his sick grandson. However, my mother and I thought about my brother, you are out marching and fighting, it is very dangerous. If you have this at home, you will feel much more at ease. Therefore, he rejected Lao An. However, his grandson is also pitiful. If you didn't like it, brother, I was going to sell it to him. But since my brother has taken a fancy to it, of course it is my brother's. ”

Li Tong croaked in a long list of reads.

Such a sensational thing in Kyoto and showing her face is also rare for her. Moreover, in the past, when she bought things, she always only bought expensive and fooled things. This is the first time, exchanging five hundred taels of silver for such a good thing, how can Li Tong be dissatisfied?

Now that he has been recognized by Li Mo, Li Tong is even more eyebrows, deeply proud of his wise choice.

It's a pity that she thought later that she had gained such a big benefit, and the mother and daughter would suffer too much. Especially the poor child's illness did not know whether it was cured or not. Li Tong sent someone to the location of the woman's stall to find them, wanting to compensate them appropriately, no matter how you say it, she took such a big advantage from others.

Of course, there is another factor in this, it is said that the works of such hermits generally do not leak out, and may be left to their families for generations.

Li Tong also wanted to ask the woman again if there were any other works like this.

If there is, just buy a few more pieces, and then give one more to my father, one more to my mother, and more, and the treasurer of Zhizhen Pavilion, Lao An, can also sell one to each of them. If there are more, it will naturally be collected and not sold.

Li Tong still understands the principle that scarcity is expensive, if ten or dozens of pieces come out at once, the value will be greatly reduced. Li Tong is not short of money.

Zhizhen Pavilion gave her a treasure, Lao An is a kind person, and it can be said that he has watched her grow up since she was a child, and he is very kind to her. Li Tong was willing to give them to them. Otherwise, she will definitely keep this kind of thing, and she will not sell any of it, so that others will drool when they look at it.

It's a pity that when I went to look for it later, I couldn't find the mother and daughter.

"It's as if the hermit called 'Passerby' has a spirit in the sky, and he doesn't want his works to be buried, so he deliberately manifests the world and lends my hand to let the works pass on to the world. It's really amazing, brother, don't you say? ”

To this day, Li Tong still feels like a dream.

Every time she saw this Buddha statue, she was a little worried that it would suddenly disappear if it was so spiritual. I even woke up in the middle of the night because of this, and I was relieved to see it.

Although Li Mo took a fancy to this ornament, he didn't expect this ornament to have such a background, Master Lingyin has the reputation of "the first monk in Daxing", and it is not the kind of wasted fame, with the name of a high monk, doing the things of flies and dogs, in fact, it is just wearing the skin of a robe, which is no different from a secular person.

Master Lingyin is different, he is a true enlightened monk.

In order to pursue the true meaning of Buddhism, he did not hesitate to personally take risks, traveled thousands of miles, and went to the place where Western Buddhism originated to seek the true scriptures, which lasted for decades, experienced countless hardships and obstacles, and almost died many times, failed six times, and only at the seventh time did he really arrive at the holy land of Buddhism and bring back the true scriptures.

After coming back, he didn't get carried away because of his fame, except for appearing in front of everyone when he preached the scriptures, the rest of the time, he studied Buddhism in the temple and didn't see outsiders.

Even if there is a summons in the palace, he also politely declined.

If you want to hear him, come to his pulpit.

All beings are equal, whether it is an emperor or an ordinary man, for him, it is all the same, and there will be no exceptions.

Although Li Mo is not a faithful believer in Buddhism, Li Mo still respects such a person with great perseverance and wisdom who can implement his beliefs.

If you can make such a person have something to understand, maybe there will be some spiritual effect. Li Mo was even more satisfied with this ornament, and after "okay", he praised Li Tong again: "This time it is very good, and it will be like this time in the future." ”

Li Mo's tone of speech was a little more blunt, a little less of his brother's doting on his sister, and more like a tone of voice to his subordinates.

But even so, Li Tong was crazy with joy, and was busy directing the girls, asking them to send this thing to Li Mo quickly, they must be careful, knock a little bit, they will definitely not spare them.

Li Mo spoke again at this time: "Don't send it to the East Courtyard, send it to the Wutong Courtyard!" ”

His tone was extremely flat, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

There was an eerily quiet in the room.

The girls' faces changed greatly, they didn't dare to gasp, and they didn't dare to see what Li Tong's face was. Now no one in the whole house knows that the eldest lady Li Tong and the princess's Aunt Hong are on the right track! What does the prince mean by this? Should they listen to Li Tong? Or listen to Li Mo?
