To get a nine-layer Bo incense burner

Fireworks Lane Liu asked Lao Du

"Five-trick exquisite box? What's that? Zhang Chengyong asked curiously.

"It was invented by the famous mechanic Ding Yuan in the Han Dynasty." At this time, Mr. Tianmu on the side continued. "Ding Yuan was a famous craftsman in the Han Dynasty, and he invented countless things in his life, but one of them is a masterpiece, that is, the nine-story Boshan incense burner." Mr. Tianmu said and walked to the window, the sunset reflected on his face, there was a kind of desolation, "According to the records of Xijing Miscellaneous Records, this nine-story Boshan incense burner is carved with rare beasts, and each image is like life, which is rare in the world. From a distance, there seem to be seven dragons and five phoenixes, but when you look closely, it suddenly turns into a hibiscus lotus root, this kind of peculiarity If you don't see it with your own eyes, there is no way to experience it. In addition, he has a lying incense burner every other floor, when you put the lit incense into it, the mechanism inside will be activated, and the seven wheel fans originally hidden in the incense burner will make the smell of incense instantly fill the entire area, according to the original words in the Xijing Miscellaneous Records: the nine-layer Boshan incense burner, carved for strange birds and monsters, poor spirits, all natural movement, and make seven round fans, seven wheels are all diameters, successive phases, one person transports, full of shivering. ”

"Then what does this nine-layer Boshan incense burner have to do with this five-trick exquisite box?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"This five-trick box is the key to running the seven-wheel fan, in other words, this five-trick box is the engine of the nine-layer Boshan incense burner." I replied lightly.

"Good fellows, you bend the bend! Wouldn't it be over if you said that earlier! It's not enough for you to work hard! Zhang Chengyong said with a grin. Do you know where this thing is? ”

"I don't know!" I looked at him and said.

"My grandfather didn't tell you where I can find this thing?" Zhang Chengyong asked more curiously.

"Nope!" I smiled helplessly and nodded, "Because he doesn't know where this thing is." ”

"And how do you find it?" Zhang Chengyong stared at me with a helpless look with wide eyes.

"Good question! That's what I'm thinking about right now. I said and smiled.

"You can go to Chunhua Building in the east of the city to find Professor Du!" Mr. Tianmu said lightly. "Perhaps, he can help you!"

"Professor Du?" I looked at Mr. Tenmu suspiciously. "Who is he?"

"You'll know when you go!" Mr. Tianmu said and handed me a note, "Here!" Here's his address! If he refuses to see you when he gets to the place, or refuses to help you even if he does, then you say that you are my friend, and he will naturally tell you about the nine-story Boshan incense burner. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tianmu!" With that, I bowed deeply, then took the note and turned out of the seemingly dilapidated house. And Zhang Chengyong also followed at a trot after a simple salute.

In the evening, it is slightly cool.

I was intent on opening the box, but after learning what was inside, I was covered with a layer of frost in my heart. Many times, many things, if you don't know, are often easier than knowing that happiness comes, and my mood at this time is just the opposite.

The taxi was still there, waiting for us.

The driver was a little unhappy when we woke him up from his deep sleep, but for the sake of Zhang Chengyong's face with the red banknote in his hand, he barely held back his seizure and drove us towards the city center in a silent manner.

In the car, the driver complained for a while, "We've been waiting for too long, I knew it was so long, would I do something else?" Thankfully, you're going back, and if you don't, I'll have to empty the car and go back to the city? In that case, I would lose a lot of money. So be it! You also add a little bit to me for the fare, not much, only fifty, how about it? ”

After he talked nonsense for a long time, Zhang Chengyong decisively rejected him with the word "roll".

At this point, the atmosphere in the carriage began to become strange. And I was happy to do so, so I just quietly thought about what to do next.

"What's next for you?" After a long time, Zhang Chengyong was the first to speak.

"I'm going to find that nine-story Boshan incense burner." I said lightly.

"Alone?" Zhang Chengyong asked.

"Yes! Is there anyone else willing to go with me? I asked with a smile.

"Oops! Since you are so pitiful, the two of us can be regarded as friends who have shared hardships. Master, I'll be left like this by you! It's a lot of helpers, not to mention, I have one person to be Guan Wanfu......" Just when Zhang Chengyong didn't finish speaking, the car we were sitting in suddenly braked, and with a "bang", Zhang Chengyong's big black face hit the back of the chair heavily, and the mouth frothed in an instant.

"Your uncle! How do you drive? Zhang Chengyong, who was hit with a gold star in his eyes, scolded. Fuck you, stop when you say stop! ”

"It's in place, don't stop, I'll keep driving?" The driver said angrily.

"Are you reasonable?"

"How? Do you still want to do it? "The temper of the Northeast people has always been on fire, and the driver saw Zhang Chengyong's endless scolding, and he also raised his eyebrows coldly.

Seeing that the two of them were going to add fists and kicks if they said more, I immediately paid the fare, and then dragged Zhang Chengyong, who looked like a fighting out of the cage, out of the taxi. In the scolding of the taxi driver, my hanging heart finally fell to the ground. It's not that I'm afraid of a little taxi driver, but I really don't want to get into trouble at such a time.

"That's it! Since you have decided to go with me to find the nine-story Boshan incense burner, it is important to hurry up and get down to business, don't let this go on endlessly, okay? I looked at Zhang Chengyong, who was still full of murderous intent, and said. To be honest, Zhang Chengyong, this kid is really good at everything, but sometimes he is too impulsive, and impulsiveness is the devil.

"Alright! Let's spare this old boy today, let's go to Chunhua Building to find that Professor Du first! Zhang Chengyong said and spat on the ground, and then strode into Xishuncheng Street according to the address given by Mr. Tianmu.

Xishuncheng Street, is the location of the old Shengjing Imperial City Forbidden City, due to the unique geographical conditions, now it has either been developed into a famous commercial street, or has already become the Forbidden City tourist scenic spot, millions of people flow every day, making it look extremely prosperous and lively. Like many tourist shops under the banner of tradition, there are also a lot of shops selling antique calligraphy, painting and handicrafts on Xishuncheng Street, each of which is decorated with antique and exquisite decoration, but there is a shop in these well-decorated shops that looks extremely discordant, dilapidated can be regarded as synonymous with it, this shop almost completely maintains the style of yellow bricks and gray walls in the 80s of the last century, coupled with disrepair, it not only looks dilapidated after experiencing wind and rain, Even the exterior skin is a little peeling.

"It's here! This is it! Zhang Chengyong looked at the shop and said.

I looked up and saw that the plaque said "Chunhua Building", the name sounded quite big, but I didn't expect it to be such a small storefront. On the side of the plaque is another wooden plaque with a large dang written on it. Looks like this shop is supposed to be a pawnshop.

The door of the store is open, it looks like it should be open, and from it comes out the songs of the 90s of the last century, like a tape recorder, I listened carefully, although due to the damage to the tape recorder's head, the tune that came out of tune was a bit serious, but I could vaguely distinguish that it seemed to be Yuquan's "The Most Beautiful". Zhang Chengyong and I looked inside, the room was not big, there was only one counter, and there was a young man dozing off behind the counter. This time is the busiest time of Xishuncheng Street, but compared with the liveliness of other shops, this Chunhua Building is deserted in the foyer!

"Is Professor Du here?" Once inside, I asked softly.

"Who are you?" The young fellow was obviously sleeping soundly, and said unpleasantly behind our wake-ups.

"We were introduced by a friend of his. I want to inquire about something. I smiled and handed over 5 tickets for 100 yuan. I still understand the truth that money can make ghosts grind.

"Hah! Why are you so polite! Seeing the money in my hand, the young man immediately changed his attitude, and while he reached out to take my money, he said with a smile: "You want to find my boss!" Unfortunately, he wasn't there at this time! ”

"Oh? He's not there, where did he go? When will you be back? Zhang Chengyong asked.

"I really don't know when I'll be back with this! But if you want to find him, I can tell you where he is! But ......," said the man, with a strange smile.

"But what?" I asked hurriedly.

"But, you seem to have to break the bank." The young man said with a grin.

…… ……

At first, I didn't know what this meant by "breaking the bill", but I soon found out. Because we need to break a fee to find Professor Du's place, and we have to spend a lot of money, and I broke more than 30,000 yuan at once, because the place where he is is actually the most famous commercial KTV in the city.

Professor Du was drinking when we went, and he drank so much that he couldn't walk on his own at all, so he could only lean back on the sofa. There were a lot of women sitting next to Professor Du, all wearing heavy makeup and spraying pungent cheap perfume, they were laughing, Professor Du was also laughing, although Professor Du was about to get drunk and unconscious, but they were still pouring wine into his mouth, and Professor Du did not refuse, as if for him, the wine glass in front of him was the most important thing in his life.

…… ……

Professor Du was lying on the bed in the room of the "Chunhua Building", he was vomiting at this time, this was the sixth time he had vomited since he came back, of course he didn't walk back by himself, he was carried back by Zhang Chengyong.

"Grandma's! I just heard the guy at the front desk say that this old guy often drinks like this, and often doesn't bring a penny to that commercial KTV, and then eats Haisai, and then waits for someone to ransom him. Tell me, does this old boy have a problem with his brain? Zhang Chengyong looked at Professor Du and said angrily.

"Hahaha! It's not me who has the problem! It's you who are willing to pay to ransom me. After retching for a long time, Professor Du, who had been in a daze, finally spoke.

"We're sick in the head? How can we be sick in the brain? Zhang Chengyong said angrily.

"If you don't get sick, how can you pay for me? If I wasn't sick, how could I have something to ask me for? Professor Du said with a smile.

"That's right! He is indeed smarter than both of us! I looked at Professor Du, who looked drunk, and said. At least, the two of us can't think of such a way to find someone to pay us for the flower wine. ”

"That's right! No one in this world except me could be so smart as to think of such a solution. Professor Du said and sat up. I was a genius. ”

"Yes, you are indeed a genius." I can't think of such a way to make people help pay for it, so I must admit that Professor Du is a genius on this point.

"Say it! What are you looking for from me? Professor Du reluctantly sat against the bed and said.

"We are friends with Mr. Tianmu." I said.

"Oh! I heard that he hasn't asked about anything for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect you two hairy boys to come to me under his name. Professor Du glanced at me and said. All right! Since you are a friend of the blind man, then you can say, what's the matter? But you know the rules, right? ”

"Rules? What rules? Zhang Chengyong asked differently.

"Of course it's my rules." Professor Du straightened up and said. "Hah! That blind man asked you to come, and he didn't even tell you my rules. All right! Then you listen, I, Professor Du, have two rules, first, no matter what questions you ask, you can answer what I know, and if I don't know, my following literature will also answer you, in other words, there is nothing I don't know. Whatever the question, though, I'll only answer you with three questions. ”

"And what's the second rule?" I asked.

"The second rule is 5,000 yuan per question, no more, no less." Professor Du said as he made a gesture of counting money with his thumb and forefinger.

"Okay ! No problem! Deal! I nodded.
