Chapter 236: The Dharma
ps: Three more, please support a lot, give a monthly pass, thank you!!!
"Uh......"
Seeing Ge Bao's fierce reaction, the huge boss was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "Brother Ge, don't misunderstand. [, I'm not doubting the authenticity of the painting, but I just want to ask about the origin of your painting.] ”
"No origin." Ge Bao's face was a little pale, and he said slowly: "This painting was given to me by someone else......"
Huge suddenly felt a toothache, and knew that Ge Bao was not telling the truth. How can you give away something so precious casually? If it were him, he would definitely be reluctant.
"Why are you asking so much?" Ge hugged his eyes and said: "All in all, I can be sure that the origin of this painting is legitimate, and there will be no problems." If you want to buy it, you can buy it, and if you don't buy it, forget it. ”
"Buy, of course." The huge boss cut the railroad to the end, and then hesitated a little: "But this painting is a little damaged, which also affects its price to some extent......"
"Then you can subtract some appropriately." Ge Bao is very reasonable: "I can also take a step back." ”
"Good ......"
The huge boss was waiting for this sentence, he first glanced back at Sun Lao, and after seeing Sun Lao nodding slightly, he settled his mind, hurriedly walked to sit with Ge Bao, and discussed the price softly.
After some negotiation, the two also reached an agreement to close the deal at a sky-high price of 15 million!
This is also due to the defective painting, otherwise the price could have been higher.
After a while, the huge boss successfully transferred the money, and this ink grape picture of Xu Wenchang belonged to him.
"Congratulations to Boss Pang for getting his wish."
Under Ge Bao's hint, Qi Xiang smiled and congratulated a few words, and then said goodbye: "I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll visit another day." ”
"Well said, well said." The huge boss smiled and said politely: "Brother Qi." I'm going to hold a painting viewing party in two days, and you must come. ”
"If you have time, you will definitely go and disturb." Qi Xiang smiled and exchanged a few words of greeting before greeting Ge Bao, who had a somewhat impatient expression, to leave Xuzhai and return to his manor.
The road car, Ge Bao was full of energy, and his appearance of joy also made Qi Xiang fully realize that money is really a good thing. Even a monk with an extraordinary background like Ge Bao likes it.
Qi Xiang sighed silently, and suddenly said, "You cut off the broken part of the painting, right?" ”
"Uh......"
Ge was stunned, and subconsciously retorted: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”
"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you know very well in your heart."
Qi Xiang said casually: "Didn't you hear Boss Pang say that I am a calligraphy and painting appraiser?" From the traces left by the repair of calligraphy and painting, it can be judged that the length of time of the repair. ”
"I'm sure it won't take more than a month to repair the painting."
Qi Xiang smiled: "Even when it is repaired." It is consciously old, but there is a certain difference between the old and the natural old. ”
"You're bluffing me?" Ge Bao's eyes showed suspicion: "The master of calligraphy and painting appreciation didn't see it. Do you see it instead? ”
"What are you bluffing for?" Qi Xiang said angrily: "Don't forget, that old Sun is just an ordinary person, and I...... You think that with my ability, I can't penetrate the drawing paper. Insight into the mystery of the painting? ”
“…… That's just as well! Ge hugged his lips, he thought for a while, and then said, "Forget it." Originally, I wanted to put it off, but seeing that you are in such a hurry, then it is better to be open and honest, go back to your house, and we will have a good talk. ”
"Okay."
Qi Xiang concentrated on driving and soon returned to the manor.
When entering the door, Ge Bao suddenly said, "Your bird is quite good." ”
"Huh?" Qi Xiang glanced back, his eyes a little vigilant.
"Don't look at me like that." Ge Baoman said indifferently: "As soon as I came this morning, the bird was eyeing me." When he saw me climb the wall, the bird was about to pounce......"
"I'm not blind, and I can see what you're stopping."
Ge Bao said with interest: "It can be seen that the wild nature of the bird is still there, and you have only tamed it for a short time." Hey, in today's environment, the chances of encountering such spiritual wild birds and beasts are becoming more and more rare. ”
"Where did you meet, can you tell? I'll try my luck when I turn around. ”
Ge was a little envious, after all, in this era, the monks can't even take care of themselves, where are the extra resources to raise and cultivate spirit birds and beasts.
Unlike in ancient times, powerful monks were often accompanied by one or two rare birds and beasts, not only pets, but also protectors of the Dharma and good helpers in battle.
When fighting with people, you don't have to do it yourself, and the pets around you will directly solve the problem.
That kind of majesty, that kind of pride......
When Ge Bao thought about it, he felt his heart pounding.
At this time, the two walked to the hall, and Qi Xiang said casually: "In Tianmu Mountain, you go to find it slowly." ”
"Tianmu Mountain...... It seems to be very broad. Ge didn't give up, and asked again: "Is there a specific direction?" ”
"The middle section of Tianmu Mountain." Qi Xiang thought for a while and suggested: "Anyway, the farther away from the city is populated, the better, you can look between some inaccessible deep canyons and cliffs, or you can find it." ”
“…… I'll talk about it when I'm free. ”
Ge Bao's enthusiasm was suddenly reduced by half: "I'm very busy now, so I don't have this spare time." ”
"Busy with what?" Qi Xiang asked.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Ge Bao sat down, his fingers tapping on the table, as if to phrase words. Qi Xiang didn't urge, just waited quietly. He believed that Ge Bao came to the door, and he must have something to ask for, and he had the initiative in this matter, so he didn't need to be in a hurry.
"Qi Xiang, do you know how to give the urn?" Ge Bao asked suddenly.
"Conferr?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why are you asking this, of course I don't understand, and I don't have this qualification." ”
Although Qi Xiang studied the way of talismans, he knew very well that there was a big difference between talismans and talismans.
In the eyes of Taoists, Fu should be regarded as "the text of the gods", like a seal, also known as cloud seal, jade character, Danshu, rune. The so-called drawing talismans, to put it bluntly, are to use the instructions of the gods to suppress demons and suppress evil spirits, and to cure diseases and seek blessings.
As for the urn, the original meaning is thin, that is, to record.
There are two main types of urns. One is the list of those who follow the Tao, which records the name, road number, teacher and rank of the Taoist priest who received the Daoist; The second is the name and function of Cao Zuo, the heavens and the heavens. That is, the "List of Celestial Gods".
In the concept of Taoist believers, only by knowing the Dharma can they summon the gods and send generals to eliminate demons and suppress evil spirits. Therefore, only when you have to receive the Dharma can you become famous in the heavens and have the Taoist priesthood.
With the Taoist priesthood and the chapters in the Jiao, you can reach the heavenly court. in order to be blessed by the gods. After that, he will practice for a lifetime, transcendental, and once he is feathered, he can ascend to the immortal with his urn and be awarded the immortal position, exempting him from the suffering of hell in the underworld.
In popular terms, the so-called urn is equivalent to a combination of an ID card and a pass, with this certificate. It means that you and the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, that is a family.
If you have anything, these family members will definitely help you and let you worry about the future.
So in ancient times. Whether it is a dignitary or a common person, they are all keen to confer the penalty. There was a time when the Taoist prayer was similar to the indulgences of Western religions. As long as you can afford the money, anyone can ask for it, and those who come will not refuse.
That period. The Dao Gong has deteriorated and has become a tool for collecting money.
In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor felt that this was not possible, so he simply formulated strict management regulations, and only allowed the Dragon and Tiger Master Heavenly Master Mansion to be qualified to confer urns. The Taoist altars of all sects can no longer be conferred in private, and violators will be prosecuted.
This rule has been followed until modern times and has not changed. Even the procedures for awarding the urn are becoming more and more refined, and it is very troublesome to go through various approvals and review training.
That's why Qi Xiang said that he didn't understand it, and he didn't have this qualification.
"Don't play dumb."
However, Ge Bao glared and said angrily: "What I'm talking about is not a Dao urn that can only be taught after being reviewed by the Religious Affairs Bureau, but a Dharma urn, a Dharma urn that can summon ghosts and gods." ”
"Isn't it the same?" Qi Xiang said with a smile: "Dao Gong and Fa Gong, the literal explanation, are similar. ”
"Almost?" Ge Bao sneered: "Then the spirit runes you drew are the same as the paper talismans sold on the street?" ”
"Ahem!"
Qi Xiang took a sip of tea and wrote lightly: "It's the same, it's all Fu!" ”
“…… Die to shame. ”
Ge Bao was angry, how thick his skin should be, or how shameless he should be, in order to equate the two symbols.
If the mechanically printed rune paper is a spirit rune that can communicate the aura of heaven and earth, who is still working hard to cultivate the monks in the world, just open a printing factory, and print and print at full power every day, printing hundreds of millions of copies, all for themselves, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to become an immortal?
“…… You don't have to talk nonsense. ”
Ge Bao calmed down and said seriously: "I'm talking about serious things." ”
"Me too."
Qi Xiang put down the teacup and said, "Although I can draw a few talismans, it doesn't mean that I can confer the talisman." You should be well aware that although some of the functions of the spirit rune and the magic urn overlap, in essence, they are two completely different systems. Just because I know how to draw talismans doesn't mean I can give them. ”
"That's ...... too"
Ge Bao groaned and hesitated: "But the characters should be the same." If I give you a ready-made magic basket, can you draw another one according to the gourd? ”
Qi Xiang was stunned, surprised, and puzzled: "You have a ready-made one, and let me paint it, isn't it redundant?" ”
"I'm a map ......" Ge hugged his eyes and said: "It's the same as the golden book of the Pai Gang, it belongs to the model of inheritance, and it can't be used directly." ”
"No wonder." Qi Xiang was stunned.
"Don't talk nonsense, you tell me the truth, can you draw?" Ge Bao asked, a little anxious.
“…… It's hard to say! ”
Qi Xiang thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I didn't try, I didn't practice, I wasn't sure." ”
This is also true, and then it was Ge Bao's turn to hesitate.
The map of the Dharma Urn is not a secret book for cultivating the truth that has been flooded. For Xuan Xiu, there has always been a map like this, which is very rare.
No matter who gets it, it must be kept secret and rarely revealed...... (To be continued......)
