I guessed right, before I finished smoking a cigarette, Mediterranean covered the canvas on the outside of the bronze statue, wiped the hair on his head in a chic manner, leaned towards me, and said, "Brother, there is a saying in the ancient line, you should have heard of it." ”

"What?"

"I only find a bowl when I have a lamp."

The words of the Mediterranean made my heart suddenly alert, and I only looked for a bowl when there was a lamp, which is indeed a sentence said by the ancient travelers. It means that when you are looking for goods, you want to find a complete set, and when you get a bowl, you have to find a way to find a bowl that matches this one.

Although Mediterranean only said five words, he couldn't have understood what he meant, he was using my words.

"I'm sure I've heard of this sentence, although I haven't been in the industry for a long time, I still know this." I had to pretend to be stupid, smoking a cigarette and looking at the Mediterranean: "But what does this mean? ”

"Pretending to be stupid, pretending to be stupid, isn't it?" Mediterranean smiled evilly and patted me on the shoulder: "I'm still pretending to be stupid with my brother." ”

"It's not pretending to be stupid, it's that I really don't understand."

"Let's put it this way." Mediterranean restrained his smile and said seriously: "The goods in my hand are half cut off, not complete, if you are not a person who knows the roots, you will not name and look for such goods, brother, is the head of this bronze statue in your hands?" ”

Mediterranean stopped me in a word, because I didn't expect that he didn't care about the rules of the industry. He sells goods, and I can't ask him where they come from, and in the same way, when I buy goods, he can't ask me what I'm going to do when I buy them. This is everyone's subtle common sense, and because of this, the last time we met, I wanted to ask him about the origin of this item, but I still held back. But the Mediterranean Sea didn't see anything outside, and directly asked all these questions clearly.

Actually, I had guessed before that Mediterranean was so shrewd that he would be able to think of something if I wanted to buy this broken bronze statue of him.

"Brother Hai, let's do it, you and I are both happy people, if you ask me anything, I want to ask you too."

"What do you want to ask, you open your mouth, as long as I know, there is nothing that I can't say." Mediterranean patted his chest, followed by a frown: "Brother, my name is Ma Baoliang, you call me Brother Ma, or call me Baoliang directly, it's no problem, don't follow Lao Xu to scream nonsense." ”

"Okay, Brother Hai, I see." I replied and said, "Can you tell me where you got this item?" ”

"Brother, you're quite shrewd." Mediterranean smiled, and didn't shake my face because I asked about taboo words: "Brother, we are not stupid, there are some things, do you still need to say clearly?" Why are you looking for this product, why am I selling this product, it's not obvious? ”

These words of the Mediterranean can be regarded as saying them all thoroughly. He knew that I was trying my best to find half of the bronze statue, because the head of the bronze statue was in my hand, so I wanted to put together a set. Moreover, Mediterranean also showed me that he threw out this half of the bronze statue, that is, he wanted to confirm whether the head of the bronze statue was really in my hands.

No wonder Mediterranean, with such a big net worth, is still in a hurry to get out this goods, he has a purpose.

I didn't expect Mediterranean to be so straightforward, and now that the conversation is spread out, I don't know how to reply to him. But I don't want to suffer, if the Mediterranean wants to ask me something, he has to tell me the origin of the half-bronze statue first.

"Brother Hai, you are a senior, I am a junior, I entered the industry late, I have no experience, I have to deal with people and do business, I have to give myself a few more eyes, I am afraid of losses." I made up my mind that the Mediterranean must speak first, otherwise I would not say anything: "Where did you get this half of the bronze statue in your hand?" ”

"I'll talk to you about it, since I've already said it, even if you don't ask, I'll tell you about these things." Mediterranean stood in front of the van, talking to me, and kept looking back at the, who seemed to not want the to know this.

I also followed and looked, have eyes and know the meaning of the Mediterranean, so a person dangling around in a long distance is not close.

"Brother, do you know Fang Shan?"

"Fang Shan? I know. ”

Fangshan in the Mediterranean Sea is about sixty or seventy kilometers away from Huayang. The vicinity of Huayang is mountainous, and the Taihang Mountains cross from the north-central part of Huayang, and the mountains are very deep, but the overall altitude is not high. Among the vast mountain ranges, there are some mountains that are quite famous, and Fangshan Mountain is one of them.

The reason why Fangshan is famous near Huayang is because of a historical allusion. Legend has it that Zhang Sanfeng once spent two or three months in a small Taoist temple in Fangshan, and preached with the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. This benefited the Taoist priests of the Taoist temple a lot, so this Taoist temple has always been called the true biography of Sanfeng Zhenren.

This rumor spread more and more, the small Taoist temple of Fangshan was blown to its god, before the liberation, the incense of the Taoist temple was quite vigorous. But then it didn't work, it was silent for decades, a few years ago, there were signs of resurgence in Fangshan Taoist Temple, but some people refuted rumors, saying that Fangshan Taoist Temple had actually been demolished, and the current Taoist Temple was later rebuilt on the original site.

Anyway, these things can't be said to be true or false, the people around Huayang all know that there is a Taoist temple on Fangshan that is true to the true transmission of Sanfeng, but no one goes.

I don't know how the Mediterranean mentioned this place, but I don't want to interrupt him, and as I listen, I secretly discern how much truth and how much moisture is in the Mediterranean story.

The Mediterranean Sea has a relationship with Fangshan, it was more than ten years ago, when the Mediterranean Sea may be uncomfortable in the waist and cervical spine, and it was very uncomfortable. The doctors told him that such a disease has accumulated slowly over many years, and it will take a long time to treat and eradicate it, and it must be treated every day.

What the Mediterranean lacked at that time was time, and I was so busy every day that I couldn't take care of my family, and I didn't have so much time to spend every day on treatment. This problem is not fatal to say, it is uncomfortable from time to time, which makes the Mediterranean very temperless.

Once, a friend told the Mediterranean that the old Taoist priest in the Fangshan Taoist Temple could cure this problem, and he could cure it quickly. The Mediterranean Sea took time out to go to Fangshan Taoist Temple.

It was the second time he went to the Taoist Temple in the Mediterranean, and he must have heard about the origin of the Taoist Temple in Fangshan, but after he went, the Mediterranean felt that it was not like that. That may be a Taoist temple that was later repaired, the area is not large, the incense has long been broken, there is only an old Taoist priest named Wangchen in the Taoist temple, and an apprentice of Wangchen, and there are just two of them.

The Mediterranean came over, just with the attitude of trying. The old Taoist priest named Wangchen was approachable and listened to Mediterranean talk about his condition.

The old Taoist priest was already very old at that time, his beard and hair were all white, and the Taoist robe he wore was patched a lot, but it was cleanly washed, although he was very thin, but he was warm and peaceful, which made the Mediterranean feel a little like a fairy wind and bones.

Mediterranean originally thought that Forget Chen might have to talk to him a lot, but the old Taoist priest Forget Chen didn't say a word of nonsense, and patted Mediterranean twice on his waist and twice on his neck. These few times looked like an understatement, as if it was just a casual shot, however, after a while, the Mediterranean felt a lot more comfortable.

Then, the old Taoist priest of Forgotten Dust wrapped a little herb in the Mediterranean Sea and asked him to go back and drink it for five days. Mediterranean could detect that this old Taoist priest was not cheating at all, and he did feel much better after being slapped a few times by him. Mediterranean was very grateful, and quickly took two thousand yuan as incense money.

But the old Taoist priest refused to accept it, he said that helping people treat diseases was just a casual effort, and those herbs were picked when he was fine, so he didn't need to collect money.

In this way, the Mediterranean Sea was even more admired, and I went down the mountain with a thousand thanks.

The herbs given by the old Taoist priest of Forget the dust were drunk in the Mediterranean for five days, and after drinking, he was refreshed. The person in the Mediterranean was lively, thinking about thanking Forget the Dust again, but the Forget Dust didn't charge money, so the Mediterranean specially bought a lot of rice, flour, oil and salt, and asked people to go with them, and moved all the things up the mountain.

The old Taoist priest who forgot the dust probably also knew that the Mediterranean was sincerely grateful, so he did not shirk the firewood, rice, oil and salt sent.

Since then, when the Mediterranean Sea has time, he will go to Fangshan to talk to Wangchen. Chatting with Wangchen, there is a feeling of tranquility, which cannot be found in the bustling city.

Later, I had more contact, and the Mediterranean knew that the old Taoist priest who forgot the dust was very good, and his food was simple, but he had real skills, and he often opened the valley, and he could not eat for forty days in a row at the longest time.

I heard people in the Mediterranean say that Taoism opened the valley in order to cultivate the way of longevity. However, true immortality does not exist, and proper cultivation can lead to health preservation and longevity. The Mediterranean must be very concerned about this, so he consulted the old Taoist priest who forgot the dust. The old Taoist priest who forgets the dust does not hide his selfishness, and the experience he has accumulated over the years has been taken out to communicate with the Mediterranean.

Mediterranean feels that the two Taoist priests in the Fangshan Taoist Temple seem to pay attention to the way of practicing health preservation, the old Taoist priest who forgets the dust often opens the valley, and the apprentice who forgets the dust will do alchemy. There is a Dan furnace in the view, I saw it when I chatted with the apprentice who forgot the dust, the Dan furnace is something that has been around for many years, but the time is not too long, it should be a product of the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Mediterranean sometimes jokes with the apprentice who forgets the dust, saying that he can practice the elixir? The apprentice who forgot the dust was very sure that he could, and one day he could practice the elixir, and after taking it, he would be able to become an immortal.

In this way, the Mediterranean Sea has formed an indissoluble bond with Fangshan, and I often go to see it.

A few years ago, the Mediterranean went out once, stayed in Guangxi for more than a year, and after the matter was finished and returned to Huayang, he rested for two days, and then he went to Fangshan to find Wangchen.

After coming to the Taoist Temple this time, he found that there was only one person left in the Taoist Temple, and the apprentice of the Taoist Temple was gone. After asking, he learned that the apprentice who forgot the dust was obsessed with the ancient Danfang Jinshi technique, and wanted to become an immortal, and took the pill he refined for many years, and finally returned to the west and really became an immortal.
