Chapter 81: The Abandoned Stone Lion
In the parking lot on the mountainside, ** lay in the car with the car door open and fell asleep, Zhou Xuan and the six people went down the mountain for more than an hour, and the descent was more than half the time faster than the uphill.
Wei Xiaoqing and Zhou Ying, the two girls, got into another car and sat in the back seat and leaned back and didn't move, and at this time they felt that their whole bodies were empty.
Ah Chang and Ah De drove the car where Wei Xiaoqing and Zhou Ying were sitting, and when they woke up, they went to the front to sit and drive, and Zhou Tao sat next to him.
Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying sat in the back, Fu Ying's physical strength and endurance were much stronger than Wei Xiaoqing's, and he didn't feel particularly tired when he went up and down the mountain.
**Didn't go up the mountain, slept again, was in good spirits, drove the car with a smile, and chatted with Zhou Tao about the situation in Wudang Mountain.
Zhou Xuan saw that Fu Ying was not having a good time, so his heart moved, and he asked Zhou Tao: "Brother, is the old Taoist priest in the thatched hut in the back mountain that I often went to see when I was a child still there?" ”
Zhou Tao shook his head and said: "You left in the second year, I don't know where you went, I haven't seen it for so many years, and the thatched hut has long been demolished in the village, at the intersection of the mountain and Wudang Mountain, the second uncle's youngest son opened a small shop there, selling tobacco, alcohol, drinks and trinkets, and can earn fifty or sixty thousand yuan a year." ”
Zhou Xuan knew that the second uncle that his younger brother was talking about was not the cousin of his Zhou family, but the second uncle Liu, the younger brother of Liu Dagui, the head of Liu Village, opened a shop there, of course, it had to be approved by the village, and the second uncle Liu could open it, so there was nothing to say.
Zhou Xuan thought about it now, and felt a little melancholy in his heart, maybe the inner family exercises that taught him to breathe and meditate back then were a real master, if he was still here, maybe Fu Ying would be happy.
To be honest, Zhou Xuan did get a lot of benefits from the old Taoist's internal qi cultivation, if it weren't for the internal qi fused with the strange ice qi in the stone, then he would not have been able to absorb more and stronger ice qi later, and if he couldn't absorb the huge energy in the boulder in the water cave, he would not have been able to escape, nor would he have been able to save Fu Ying, so naturally there would be no today.
Although ice qi is important, all this is inseparable from the breathing method taught by the old Taoist, but unfortunately, today he returned to his hometown, but the old Taoist priest is gone, even if he wants to invite him to eat dog meat and drink a few bowls of rice wine, there is no way.
**Driving the car in front, Achang's car in the back, turning around on the mountain road, going down to the bottom of the mountain and entering the intersection of Qianjin Village, looking at the small shop at the intersection, Zhou Xuan suddenly shouted: "Boss, stop, stop the car!" ”
** Quickly stepped on the brakes, the Hummer stopped with a "quack", and Ah Chang in the back also quickly stopped the car.
Zhou Xuan opened the car door and jumped out of the car, in the small shop was Liu Yang, the youngest son of Second Uncle Liu, guarding the store, seeing that it was Zhou Xuan, Liu Yang quickly put away the expression of his smiling face, he originally looked down on the Zhou family, but yesterday after the uncle Liu Dagui and the second brother Liu De were arrested, the aunt and sister-in-law ran from yesterday to today and did not have a relationship, I heard that this time it was the secretary of the county party committee in the county who spoke, and whoever came to intercede on this matter will be sorted out together, so his aunt looked for the previous relationship, but no one was willing to help with this, and some didn't even see her in person.
Liu Yang knew that the current Zhou Xuan was no longer the Zhou Xuan of the past, and the Zhou family was not allowed to be bullied.
As soon as Zhou Xuan walked to the counter at the front of the store, Liu Yang hurriedly called out enthusiastically: "Big brother, have you gone to Wudang Mountain to play?" ”
Zhou Xuan nodded, Liu Yang hurriedly took out the drink from the freezer inside, and said with a smile: "Big brother, Tao Wazi, come over to drink drinks." ”
Zhou Xuan turned around and beckoned everyone else to come over to get a drink, and then took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and threw it on the counter.
Liu Yang hurriedly pushed it back and said with a smile: "Big brother, the villagers, just a few cans of drinks are not worth much, please drink, please drink!" ”
Zhou Xuan said lightly: "It's not easy to have a small business, you have to accept what you should receive, take it!" ”
Ignoring him, he took a can of Coke, opened it and took a big sip, then walked to the side of the shop and looked at the hill in front of him, and the familiar hut on the hill was gone.
Ah Chang and several people got out of the car to drink drinks, and Fu Ying saw Zhou Xuan looking at the hillside in front of him in a daze, so he came over and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a reminder of something from the past!" Zhou Xuan sighed and replied, and at this moment, suddenly the pill ice qi in his left hand flicked!
Like without Zhou Xuan's luck, it is the first time that the ice qi has reacted by itself has happened!
Zhou Xuan felt something strange, and immediately lifted the ice qi and poked it out, and suddenly, the range within ten meters of the surrounding area was clearly displayed in Zhou Xuan's mind.
Liu Yang in the small shop, goods, freezers, houses, Achang Ade, **, Wei Xiaoqing, Zhou Tao, Zhou Ying, and Fu Ying beside him, although they didn't look at it with their eyes, their expressions and actions were all in their minds, reflected like a mirror.
Zhou Xuan was slightly concentrating, and the ice qi immediately stayed on a stone lion leaning on the pole of a sun umbrella on the left side of the shop!
The stone lion is very old and dirty, the surface layer is covered with black mud and dust, black and not slippery, and the surface looks dirty, but Zhou Xuan's ice gas is not only to see the surface, in the stone lion, five minutes deep into the stone, the inside is all golden, all pure gold!
The reason why Zhou Xuan is sure is that the ice qi of the pill in his left hand is particularly sensitive to gold, and after using it to transform molecules, it is gold, and it cannot be transformed into other categories, and the molecular structure of gold is already ripe to the point that it can no longer be cooked.
This stone lion is actually no stranger to Zhou Xuan, when he was young, the old Taoist priest who taught himself the breathing method had to hold this stone lion around the mountain twice every day, he was envious of the old Tao's amazing power, so he wanted to practice martial arts with him, but the old Taoist did not teach him any martial arts skills, so he only passed on this breathing method.
This stone lion is the old Taoist priest in the palace of Wudang Mountain, at that time to the Taoist priest and Buddhism quite a bit of bullfighting ghosts and snake gods, is the decline of the Taoist temple of Wudang Mountain, the incense is greatly reduced, and no one is specially managed, the old Taoist priest hugged a stone lion and walked away and no one paid attention to him.
Now the old Taoist priest is gone, and the thatched hut has been demolished, but the stone lion is still there.
I think the old Taoist priest didn't know the secrets in the stone lion, otherwise he wouldn't have let it be thrown here.
The stone lion weighs at least two or three hundred catties, and from this weight, you can imagine how much strength the old Taoist priest has.
The stone lion drilled a hole in the abdomen, and then injected the gold, and the final filling of the abdomen was made up with special cement and lime, and the flaws could not be seen from the outside, and this filling was in the abdomen, the stone lion was so heavy, ordinary people simply regretted not moving and could not turn over, and where would someone go to the abdomen to take a closer look?
Zhou Xuan carefully measured the weight and size of the gold, and estimated that the weight of gold was at least one-third of that of the stone lion, and this stone lion was afraid that there were more than 300 catties, and the gold was at least 100 catties or more!
This is not an antique, the current price of gold is about more than 100 yuan a gram, and this more than 100 catties of gold will be worth about 2 million.
Fu Ying said softly at this time: "Zhou Xuan, what's wrong with you?" Are you tired? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Zhou Xuan's forehead and tested the temperature, afraid that he was tired from climbing the mountain just now, and he would catch a cold after sweating.
Zhou Xuan grabbed her soft little hand, smiled, and said, "I'm fine, I just thought about something!" Then he pulled her to the counter and said to Liu Yang: "Liu Yang, where did the old road go before?" ”
Liu Yang shook his head: "I have been gone for five or six years, and I have never been again, and the thatched hut has been demolished, you see, there is only the old stone lion outside on the mountain, after my family opened this shop, the sun umbrella is always blown over by the wind, and it is not enough to make a cement pier, and then my father invited a few people to carry the stone lion down from the mountain, and the four big men lifted it up, and the strength of the old Taoist priest is really great!" ”
Zhou Xuan thought about it and said with a smile: "Liu Yang, I bought a house while working outside, and there is a lack of something at the gate, I look at this stone lion very well, or you sell it to me?" ”
Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Big brother, do you still want to buy such a broken stone?" If you want you to move there, hehe, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid it's too heavy to move! ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and shook his head, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted eight, and then put them on the counter, and said: "Liu Yang, take it, everyone outside has a rule, you have to buy things at the town gate with money, this is a sign, if you don't need money, you won't want it!" ”
Although Liu Yang wanted to please Zhou Xuan, if he came out with a few hundred yuan at once, it would still be painful, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to want to find a broken stone town gate, this stone lion was dilapidated and old, he was actually willing to pay 800 yuan.
Although he was thinking about the uncle's affairs in his heart, Zhou Xuan obviously wanted this stone lion, and he just said that he would give it to him, and he really didn't want the eight hundred yuan, but he said this, people who are rich outside talk about omens, and it is not good to not want money, and looking at the red banknotes, it is indeed annoying.
Zhou Xuan didn't know what he thought, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Take it, just buy you cigarettes as a big brother!" ”
Liu Yang was sneering and half-pushed and half-accepted the money.
Zhou Xuan beckoned to Achang Ade, "Achang, Ade, hehe, you come over to help!" ”
Liu Yang also hurriedly ran out of the side door and took the sun umbrella and put it away.
Ah Chang came over and squatted down and hugged the stone lion with both hands, the stone lion just shook it, but didn't hug it, hehe smiled and said: "Xiao Zhou, this stone lion is at least more than 400 catties, but I can hold 300 catties of pounds!" ”
Zhou Tao and Zhou Ying were a little heartbroken for eight hundred yuan, and Brother Xindao didn't know what to do to buy a broken stone lion with eight hundred yuan, this thing can't be eaten or used, and it's so heavy!
But thinking about it, Zhou Tao still went over to help, Ade and ** also came over, Liu Yang also came to help, plus Zhou Xuan himself, six men came to move this stone lion together, Ah Chang "hey", a shout, the strength of the six people used together, and then the stone lion was lifted!
