Chapter 32: Buying and Selling in the Dark

When I got home, it was already dark, and I was still excited.

First boil water to take a bath, change clothes, and the teacher came over and asked what I wanted to eat.

I said, "The noodles are ready, the hand-changed noodles in Taohuatan are delicious."

After dinner, I couldn't wait to turn out the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon".

The bookcase was already very damp, and the rope tied to it had been destroyed.

Each volume of the book inside was wrapped in a layer of oiled paper, but when opened, it was still wet.

I turned the page, and it was a manuscript with the words Ten Years of Light

It's been more than 150 years, and there is a large yellowish and dark water stain in the middle, and some of the pages are still stuck together.

Shitai is right, these damp and sticky pages, if not copied, will rot like pulp.

There is no way to recover, except for professional archaeologists.

The master walked in and saw that I was in a daze at the Yellow Emperor's outer scripture.

The master said to the master: "Pi Yang and I will go to Jiangcheng tomorrow and come back in exchange for some money."

Shi Niang asked, "Then do you wear a new robe or an old one?" ”

The master said: "Wear new ones, this time you have to change a few more, you can't be too shabby and be looked down upon."

The master took out the basket I usually use for practice from the cabinet, and picked out ten copper coins from the basket.

Three Xianfeng Tongbao should be picked, two Xianfeng Tongbao should be picked up, two Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Holy Treasures, two Heavenly Kingdom Holy Treasures, and one Taiping Holy Treasure.

Wrap it in rice paper piece by piece, and then put the basket into the cabinet again.

I think it's ten copper coins? How much can that be exchanged for?

So I asked, "The master will bring ten?" Bring a little more? ”

The master smiled: "Rare things are expensive, and many are cheap." , you bring two buckets and sell ten for about the same price, usually I have one or two at most. ”

Since the master said so, I didn't speak, one or two? I'm afraid it's not enough to cost money!

The next morning to catch the first train, and get up early.

I still brought Xiaoya's passbook with me, and took another 20,000 yuan to buy my grandmother's house and build a house.

When we arrived in Jiangcheng, it was just in time for lunch to eat, and we still ate Geng Fuxing's steamed buns and a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup.

After eating, the master made a phone call from the payphone of the store next door.

Then I called a taxi and said to the back door of Jiangcheng Normal University.

We arrived at the back door of Jiangcheng Normal University, and the master found a public phone booth and made another call.

The master said to me, "Let's go, I'll take you to Guangji Temple for a walk."

Guangji Temple is in the back gate of Jiangcheng Normal University in Zheshan Park, the mountain is verdant and verdant, and it is lush and forested.

The master said: "Climb the Guangji Temple Tower, you can see the Yangtze River."

Guangji Temple, the temple is built according to the mountain, from the bottom to the top of the Tianwang Hall (also known as the "Mountain Gate"), the Medicine Master Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Hall (also known as the "Big Buddha Palace").

The whole building is splendid and majestic.

In the palace of the heavenly king, there are more than ten meters high Maitreya and Wei Dao statues, and on both sides are two King Kongs.

In the center of the Medicine Hall is enshrined Medicine Buddha, who once made 12 great vows to heal all living beings and prolong life.

In the middle of the hall are enshrined three Buddhas, with a statue on the left and right, and eighteen Arhats on both sides.

The top floor is the main hall - Jizo Hall, and the two sides are protected by iron chains.

The hall is the most characteristic building in the temple, it imitates the style of the body treasure hall of Jiuhua Mountain, and the statue of Jizo Bodhisattva is enshrined in the center, which is as high as 12 meters, very solemn.

An ancient ginkgo tree in front of the hall was planted in the Song Dynasty, and the branches are luxuriant so far.

On the west side of the Tibetan Palace, there is a two-storey attic "Di Cui Xuan", which is said to be the Song Dynasty calligrapher Huang Tingjian's secluded reading place, and there are many inscriptions embedded on the wall downstairs.

We passed through the Jizo Hall and came to the Guangji Temple Tower, with a total of 88 steps, the four-fold hall stretches from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, and the apse is dozens of meters higher than the front hall.

We hang out under the pagoda of Guangji Temple.

A young monk came up to us, clasped his hands together and asked, "Is this Mr. Kim?"

The master nodded.

The monk said, "Please come with me."

We followed him around and into a meditation monastery.

Sure enough: "Entering the ancient temple in the early morning, the first day shines on the high forest." The winding path leads to the secluded place, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep. ”

The young monk pushed open a door, stretched out his hand to invite us in, and when we were in, he gently closed the door again.

In the room was a chubby middle-aged man, unrecognizable, dressed in a Tang costume, with a ponytail grabbed at the back and a pair of rimless glasses.

This dress looks like an artist, and the artist's style is all made of hair, how strange and how to make it: bald, long hair and braids, a full beard, bald and bearded......

This man has a ponytail and a sparse curly beard on his chin, which is not as fashionable as his master, and the master has long hair in a bun with a hair tied up.

When the man saw me and the master coming in, he smiled and said, "Mr. Jin has always been good? Where to get rich? ”

The master clenched his hands into fists and said: "The mountain people are in the poor countryside, walking through the villages and alleys, selling a little dog skin plaster, changing two copper plates, and eating together."

"Dr. Tang's face is full of red light, and the Yin Hall is shining, it is the head of good luck."

Dr. Tang waved the bracelet in his hand: "Please, please!" Please take a seat, please take a seat! Master Jin's copper plate is always valuable! Who is this? ”

The master said, "This is my apprentice."

They sat cross-legged with each other, because I couldn't double the plate yet, I could only accept the disc, because the young feet smelled bad, I was hesitating, should I take off my shoes and cross my legs.

The master turned to me and said, "You can listen to the side, I'll talk to Dr. Tang about something."

As soon as I was relieved, I found a small stool and sat down.

Dr. Tang lit a stick of incense, the tea had already been brewed, poured tea for us, and asked, "Mr. Jin hasn't been here for a long time, what treasure do you have now?" Take it out and take a look? ”

The master took out ten copper coins wrapped in rice paper from his robe and placed them on a tray.

Dr. Tang put on white gloves and held a magnifying glass, and looked at them one by one.

After a long time, I finally finished reading it, and praised: "Mr. Jin has been digging up treasures in the past few months." They are all treasures in good condition, better than the previous ones.

"It's the first time you brought so much, and I won't cut you, how about the original price?"

The master thanked him: "Dr. Tang is really a noble man of the mountain people, I have a treasure in my hand, I never go out, and it is you Dr. Tang at the first glance."

Dr. Tang smiled: "We are gentlemen's friends, Mr. Jin is as honest as jade, and I treat each other with sincerity."

"Xianfeng when ten 1800, Xianfeng when fifty 2400,

Taiping Heavenly Kingdom 2800, Peace Gentleman Treasure 3000, Heavenly Sacred Treasure 3200, a total of ......

He took out a piece of paper, counted it with a pen, and said, "It's 23,200 in total, right?"

The master smiled: "You are a doctor, will you make a mistake?"

Dr. Tang opened a leather bag beside him, took out 30,000 yuan, and took out 2,300 from one of them, and handed it over to the master together.

"You order, ICBC just picked it up, and you called and said that you brought ten, so it was delayed for a long time."

The master didn't even put the money into his underwear pocket: "We have been friends for many years, don't we have this trust?"

"Okay, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and the deal will be sold!" Dr. Tang held out his chubby hands. , holding the master's hands and shaking it, it can be regarded as a handshake.

Dr. Tang added, "We have been dealing with each other for so many years, and today you have brought so many treasures, which can also make me make a small fortune." I want to be a Dong tonight, how about you have a light meal? ”

The master smiled: "The ancestors have a cloud: when people don't let the silk be exposed, it is also advisable to hide money." It was the first time that I had so much money on my body, and I didn't feel at ease wherever I went, and I didn't dare to drink with my heart.

"It's a pity that you can't drink heartily, even if you have delicious food, you can't enjoy it.

"It's autumn now, if Dr. Tang has Yaxing, go to Peach Blossom Lake or Sun Lake for an autumn trip.

"Dr. Tang has the talent of Li Taibai, although I don't have Wang Lun's Wanguan family wealth, but I have ten miles of peach blossoms, and ten thousand hotels are real, we can all have fun and drink happily."

Dr. Tang smiled, "Good! The Peach Blossom Lake is a thousand feet deep, and I don't like Mr. to treat me! In a word, today Mr. Fang knows that Mr. Jin is a native of Taohuatan, and he will definitely visit him one day. ”

The master arched his hand and smiled: "Then see you in Peach Blossom Pond."
