Chapter 639: Statue of Lu Zu
PS: It's been the third watch, please support me and ask for a monthly pass.
Wang Guan felt that the strong man's collection was not as good as his own, and it was not that he was narcissistic. Don't forget, although Wang Guan only has two cold weapons in his hand, they are all famous and recorded treasures in the history books.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao ordered his son Cao Pi to supervise the creation of a hundred dagger dragon scales, as well as the Great Xia dragon sparrow that Helian Bobo had craftsmen carefully cast during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. These two weapons, as long as one is taken out, it is enough to make cold weapon lovers crazy. So sometimes quantity is useless, quality is the key.
However, it is very obvious that the quality of the weapons in this warehouse is okay, but there are no treasures that can make Wang Guan's eyes shine. Of course, it's understandable, after all, not everyone will have their own luck......
Wang Guancai thought about it, and suddenly saw a purple and golden treasure light shining, as bright and dazzling as the afternoon sun, which directly extinguished the trace of pride in his heart.
"What baby?"
For a moment, Wang Guan was naturally surprised, and hurriedly looked over. However, the situation was also a little unexpected to him, he originally thought that he would see a rare divine weapon appear, but in fact he saw an ornament.
At the same time, Cai Peng hurriedly approached and asked, "Big brother, how are these things?" ”
"Not good." Wang Guan replied casually, also sobered up, shook his head lightly and said: "It's better than the fruit knives sold in the mall, I'm afraid it's not as good as a kitchen knife." ”
"That's bad." Cai Peng suddenly had a disappointed expression on his face, and said very anxiously: "Then what should I do?" ”
"It's not impossible." At this moment, Wang Guan had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: "You go and ask Mr. Xin if he is willing to lend you the weapon." ”
"Borrow?" Naturally, everyone was very surprised and surprised.
"That's right, it's borrowing." Wang Guan said with a smile: "Anyway, you and Hu Shao are going to compete with each other, and there is no stipulation that your weapons must be your own, and you can't rent other people's things." ”
"That's right. How I didn't think of it. Cai Peng's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed and said, "I can't buy it, I can borrow it." ”
If the peaks and loops turn, then things will be easier to do. Cai Peng turned his head directly, continued to wave the checkbook, and said: "100,000 Hong Kong dollars, rent your weapons for a day, do you want to do it?" ”
It seems that Cai Peng is not stupid, he can clearly distinguish the difference between renting and buying. However, the strong man was even more stupid, and immediately stretched out two fingers and doubled the price: "Two hundred thousand." ”
"Deal!"
Cai Peng also did not make a counteroffer. Immediately filled in the number on the check, then tore off the page and stuffed it into the strong man's hand, and returned to his arrogant demeanor: "The money is given to you, bring something to the ...... after noon tomorrow"
After reporting an address, Cai Peng emphasized: "Remember to bring the best weapons, don't fool me, otherwise your end will be very miserable." ”
"Got it." The strong man took the check and didn't take Cai Peng's threat to heart at all.
In fact, this kind of threat can be regarded as a routine often staged in Hong Kong movies. Almost every police movie has such dialogue, everyone is tired of watching it, which one will really be afraid? Cai Peng is also very helpless in this regard, why is no one always believing it to be honest. He really did this kind of thing......
Not to mention the shout in Cai Peng's heart, anyway, after receiving the check, the strong man continued to send off the guests unceremoniously.
"Wait."
At this time, Wang Guan naturally didn't want to leave so soon. He pointed to an ornament in the side corner and asked, "Mr. Xin, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, why did you have this thing in your arsenal?" ”
The crowd heard. They also looked over, only to see that the ornament pointed by Wang Guan was a statue. The idol was placed in a niche box, about forty or fifty centimeters, dressed in a long robe, with a flowing beard......
If it is just described like this, and then compared with the physique of the strong man, I believe that many people must subconsciously think that this statue is the famous second brother Guan. It's a pity that it's not, the statue has nothing to do with Second Brother Guan, so everyone thinks it's a little strange.
"What's so strange about something a friend gave me?" The strong man was puzzled, after all, this is a world of freedom of belief, and no one stipulates that he must worship Second Brother Guan, can't he believe in other gods?
"It's not strange."
Wang Guan didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "I just want to ask, are you willing to make a move on this statue of Lu Zu?" ”
That's right, the statue is not simple, it is the famous Lu Zu Lu Chunyang Lu Dongbin.
As the head of the Eight Immortals, Lu Dongbin, in real history, is one of the five northern ancestors of the Quanzhen School of Taoism, the ancestor of the Quanzhen Dao, and the representative of the confluence of the three religions of Zhonglu Neidan School, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Of course, everyone is most familiar with the allusions such as the dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing the hearts of good people, and the white peony of the three plays.
In fact, not only in the mainland, but also in Hong Kong, there are not a few people who believe in Lu Zu, for example, the Yunquan Xianguan in the New Territories, which is dedicated to Lu Zu, is a famous temple and scenic spot in Hong Kong, and the incense is prosperous.
After thinking of this stubble, Lao Meng and the others were also more relieved, thinking that the strong man was also a believer in Lu Zu, but at the same time, they wondered how Wang Guan liked this thing.
"You want?" The strong man was also stunned.
"Yes, I live in the porcelain capital, not far from Longhu Mountain...... Wang Guan opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The Taoist atmosphere in our place is relatively strong, and I also worship Taoist immortals when I come and go." Your craftsmanship is good, especially the portrayal of the eyebrows is quite charming......"
After a few simple comments, Wang Guan changed his words: "Of course, some things I say may offend Mr. Xin, but I have to say, please bear with me." This statue should have been sitting here for several days, but the surface was stained with a lot of dust, and there was no half of the incense branch in the offering furnace, so it can be seen that Lu Zu had not enjoyed the offering of incense for a long time. ”
"Alas......"
Wang Guan shook his head and sighed lightly, his demeanor was full of pearl secretly cast, mourning his misfortune, and then raised his head and said: "Mr. Xin, I don't know if you can allow me to invite Lu Zu back?" ”
"Uh......"
Under Wang Guan's scorching gaze, the strong man was a little embarrassed. After all, in Hong Kong, a place with strong traditional customs, people may not believe in gods and Buddhas on the surface, but they still have some concerns in their hearts.
Now that Wang Guan silently accused himself of being disrespectful to Lu Zu, the strong man was also a little worried in his heart, and explained: "This is my friend's thing......"
"Didn't you say it was given to you, that's what you're doing." Wang Guan asked decisively: "In a word, I want to invite Lu Zu back, do you agree?" ”
In the name of respecting the gods, it is also cool, not only strong men, but even Lao Meng and others do not have the slightest suspicion. Naturally, Pi Qiu also noticed some clues, but he would never debunk it.
As expected, under Wang Guan's step-by-step pressure, the strong man didn't think much about it, and he didn't even ask about the price, so he nodded lightly and said, "If you like it, then move away." ”
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan nodded with satisfaction, and then turned out all the Hong Kong dollar cash in his pocket, there should be tens of thousands, and he directly stuffed it into the strong man's hand without carefully counting it, and then beckoned everyone to help carry the statue of Lu Zu out, and put it in the car before he was completely relieved.
"Remember, ...... by noon tomorrow"
At this time, Cai Peng mentioned the strong man again, and then drove away with Wang Guan and others.
On the way back, Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi were also sitting in Sha Qingfeng's car, and the two whispered. Of course, the main thing was Pi Qiuis who asked with a smile: "Brother, when did you convert to Taoism?" ”
"Just now." Wang Guan chuckled and said, "Suddenly, I found that I seemed to have a lot of fate with Taoists, so I simply believed it." ”
"It's not just about Taoism." Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "I am also very close to the Buddha, especially the Xuande furnace, which is the treasure of Buddhism." ”
"A monk is not good, he can't marry a daughter-in-law, so he doesn't believe in it." Wang Guan is very utilitarian: "If you want to believe, you should also believe in Tibetan Buddhism, after all, some sects of Tibetan Buddhism don't seem to be taboo with meat desires......"
"That's right, for example, I like the Buddha's ......" Pi Qiushi smiled ambiguously, and then reacted, a little ridiculous: "Brother, you are deliberately circumventing me...... Straight to the point, tell me honestly, what's so strange about that statue? ”
"I don't know, I just feel that the statue is quite good, anyway, it was thrown there by Mr. Xin as a sundry, so it's better for me to buy it and take it back to study." Wang Guan smiled, and didn't want to act so magical.
"Well, you'll have to study it carefully when you get back." Pi Qiushi said with great interest, believing in Wang Guan's intuition.
"I said two ......"
At this moment, Sha Qingfeng turned around and smiled: "What are you talking about, don't you mind if I listen to it too?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just ......"
Wang Guancai wanted to explain, but suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing. Before he answered the phone, he expected that it should be a call from Baye or Qiao Yu. When he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, he found that as expected, it was Bayeux calling.
However, when Wang Guan answered, he heard Qiao Yu's voice: "We are now in the beauty salon, receiving the most advanced ...... What's it called, by the way, sleep beauty treatment...... Anyway, you can go and be chic by yourself tonight, and come back to us tomorrow...... That's it, bye! ”
After a paragraph, without waiting for Wang Guan's response, the other party hung up the phone directly, making him smile bitterly, and then casually asked Sha Qingfeng what was going on with the sleep beauty treatment?
"Haven't you heard?" Sha Qingfeng was very dazed, and said with a wry smile: "I have never cared about these things, and there is no need to care......
"It's just to get some incense, put a mask on your face, and then lie down in milk and sleep."
Pi Qiu said as if he was very experienced, and then noticed the strange eyes of the other two, and quickly explained: "Your sister-in-law dragged me to experience it, saying that it could lose weight, but I felt full just by drinking milk." ”
"Haha......"
Wang Guan and Sha Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, and slowly returned to the hotel while talking and laughing. (To be continued.) )
