Chapter 25: The Talent of Being a Taoist Priest
After these people left, Gu Yi'an looked at the note in his hand, which was secretly stuffed into his hand by Milo before he left just now, with his contact information written on it.
As early as when Milo introduced himself, he had already inquired about the identity of this person through the mobile phone network, the president of the International Painting Association.
By climbing the wall to enter the internal forum of the National Painting Association, I learned that it announced that it would accept a closed disciple, regardless of nationality or skin color, as long as it is under 30 years old and has an interest and talent in painting.
This information caused an uproar in the international art world. Painting associations from various countries have invited him to come to their own countries to carry out activities called collecting style, which is actually a provoking activity.
Now his every move is under the attention of all countries, if he really announced that he would accept himself as an apprentice in a moment of excitement just now, then within half an hour, his information will be placed on the table of various countries, which is not what Gu Yi'an wants to see.
It's interesting for the hunter to hide in the shadows.
If Milo really said it at that time, Gu Yi'an would have to spend effort to modify the memories of the people present, including Milo, which would not only be troublesome, but also hidden dangers.
Fortunately, the little old man is also smart.
As for the note with the contact information written on it, Gu Yi'an casually put it in his pocket.
None of the others thought they would be flattered or in a hurry, and Gu Yi'an had no interest in getting involved in the muddy waters of the International Painting Association.
Don't say that she has no sense of responsibility or ability to take it on, she doesn't owe anyone, is it uncomfortable to lie in bed, or is the mobile phone not fun, the potato chips are not delicious, and the milk tea is not delicious?
Gu Yi'an ate the meal that was kept warm with an insulated charm in advance, and his heart was happy, and it seemed that nothing had happened except for opening an order and entering 5,000 yuan.
The owner of the photography stall next to him witnessed almost the whole process, and after Gu Yi'an was free after eating, he couldn't help but say: "Xiao Gu, I can see the painting you just drew from there, although I can't understand it, but it's really good." I just took a picture of your painting without your permission, so I'll give it to you. ”
Gu Yi'an took the photo in the other party's hand and found that he was concentrating on painting in the photo, the sun shining softly on his side face, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow.
"Thanks, I like it very much, is there an electronic one?"
"This one is a Polaroid photo. It can be printed instantly, but there is no electronic backup. ”
The booth owner scratched his head embarrassedly.
Gu Yi'an took the photo with his mobile phone, set it as the background, and said to the photography stall owner with a smile: "Then I'll give you something too." This good luck charm is given to your sister, wishing your sister a speedy recovery, health and safety. ”
The photographer first wondered how the other party could have known that he had a sister and that she was sick, and then thought that maybe he had inadvertently said it in a small talk.
Although the incense is very prosperous, and the people who use metaphysics to make money in the entire temple fair are unknown, in fact, he doesn't believe it very much, after all, the education he received since childhood is to believe in science.
If Gu Yi'an knew what the photographer was thinking, I am afraid he would have to add: The end of science is metaphysics.
The photographer accepted the other party's blessing to his sister, and quipped: "Then I won't make a lot of money, I'm only 20 when I take a photo, and you sell a charm for 2000, which is 100 times the net profit, don't forget me if you have this kind of good thing in the future." ”
Those who have a heart will also know that in addition to the 5,000 yuan that the little girl made through painting today, there were only three peace charms, one for the photographer, and the other two for Milo as gifts.
The stall owners in the nearby stalls let out a good-natured laugh.
The young Taoist who passed by was attracted by the laughter, and was shocked to hear that someone had sold the talisman for 2,000 pieces, after all, the most expensive peace talisman in other stalls was only 100, according to his master's words, it was to buy a psychological comfort.
Their lovesick charms are only the best sales of marriage charms, and the marriage price is only 200, and they also give exquisite lovesick red bean bracelets.
Although it is not impossible for a good talisman to sell for tens of thousands, it is an intermediate spirit rune and a high-level spirit rune drawn by the elders of the Dao Gate, and the success rate is extremely low, and it is considered good if one can be successful in fifty pieces.
Elders generally don't do this kind of thing that consumes their own vitality, so most of the really effective talismans on the market are actually low-level spirit runes, and some are not even low-level.
And the spiritual talismans of their lovesickness are all drawn by the elders when they teach their disciples on weekdays, and they are saved up one by one. Therefore, except for the talisman seals left for disciples to observe and study, the rest will be sold at the temple fair, but the number is also very limited.
Therefore, there are a lot of people who come to the temple fair every year, in order to disperse the flow of people, after discussing with the scenic spot, during the ten days of the temple fair, 10 marriage charms can be married every day, and a total of 10 other peace charms, health blessings and other charms. No more, there really isn't.
Afraid that someone in the name of Taoism would deceive, the young Taoist leader stepped forward. There was a stall owner who knew him next to him and shouted to him: "Chief Kongming." ”
Someone I didn't know asked the stall owner about Kongming's identity.
The stall owner also whispered: "This is the closed disciple of the Acacia Guan Lord, and it is said that he is more talented than several of his brothers and sisters. ”
"What kind of talent?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's the talent of being a Taoist priest. ”
"I'll just say that looking at this little dao long skeleton Qingqi, he is not an ordinary man."
“……”
The Empty Enlightenment Dao Chief, who listened to everything in his ears, faced the increasingly outrageous discussion and explanation of everyone, and neither did he not explain. happened to look at Gu Yi'an's gossipy and teasing eyes, but Kongming's eyes lit up.
"It's you," said Ku Ming in surprise.
"No small talk."
"Sure enough, it's you, and it's still a familiar recipe. Oh, it's me, you don't recognize me? Kong Ming stroked his beard on his chin.
Gu Yi'an chuckled, she had already recognized it, this young Taoist who was a 'Taoist gift' in other merchants' accounts was the long-bearded old man who calculated the love of the third life for the two people who 'had lovers and eventually became brothers and sisters'.
Reading the meaning of Gu Yi'an's chuckle, Kong Ming smiled embarrassedly.
Whoever let him be praised for having immortal fate since he was a child, how could he step into the path of cultivation if he had enough aura before, he believed it a little bit when he said more, so he avoided the Taoist master brother that day, spent a lot of money to buy a disguise tool, and put himself into the debut experience in the novel of the old man and scholar.
Originally, I also wanted to use what I had learned to help others guide the maze, but I didn't expect it to almost make a big mistake the first time, but fortunately, the girl in front of me stopped him and made amends.
After returning to the Taoist temple, Kong Ming took the initiative to explain what he had done to the master of the temple, and the master who had always been kind to him was so angry for the first time, and it is estimated that he did not expect that the little disciple who has always been self-denying and courteous in the Taoist temple and calm and intelligent could do such a deviant thing under his nose. So he mercilessly punished him for kneeling in front of the Sanqing Patriarch for two days and two nights, and cleaned the toilet for three months.
With the increase in the flow of visitors to the temple fair, the stall owners who watched the excitement were busy with their livelihoods.
Kong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, tried to throw away the uncomfortable feeling, and said to Gu Yi'an, "Hello girl, Xiaodao Kong Ming, can you borrow your talisman seal for a look?" ”
Gu Yi'an took a sip of the cool milk tea that he took out from the storage compartment, and looked at this young Taoist leader with clear eyes, not much older than himself, and seemed to be a little afraid of society, and motioned to the other party to take care of himself.
Kong Ming carefully picked up a peace talisman and observed it carefully, and found that the lines on it were not exactly the same as those taught by the master and elders, it seemed to be more complicated, and the rhythm in it had not been seen by himself, but the talisman seal did not seem to have the aura it should have, and it was also different from those fake talismans at a glance, and it was impossible to confirm the authenticity for a while.
However, I learned from other people's mouths just now that Gu Yi'an had not made any transactions according to 2,000 yuan, as if the little girl just regarded Fu Seal as a partner, and the pricing was just to show the value of the gift.
Kong Ming looked up at the girl in front of him, there was not much expression on his immature face, he was eating happily with a mouthful of milk tea and potato chips, and the reason why he could feel the happy emotions from the other party's expressionless face was because he could see the light of pleasure in her eyes.
How could such a person be swaggering, Kong Ming shook his head at his previous guess, but he still cared a lot about the Fu Seal in his hand, in fact, it was rumored that his talent was higher than that of other senior brothers, and it was his intuition that had never gone wrong so far.
Fortunately, in addition to buying cinnabar rune paper, etc., it doesn't cost much, and you can still afford to spend 2,000 to buy a talisman seal.
I decided to buy it and think about it, and ask the master and the elders if they know this kind of painting, and if this is a real talisman seal...
"Good use, next time." Gu Yi'an changed his expressionless face before, and shouted enthusiastically at Kongming's back.
The photographer at the stall next to him happened to have just sent away a wave of customers, and after watching Gu Yi'an Zhen sell a peace charm for 2,000 yuan, he instantly felt that the talisman in his pocket was worth it, and he decided to bring it to his sister when he went home, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
Maybe it's the main fortune today, and a few more people came to ask, maybe the Doudou painted when Gu Yi'an was idle was too cute. Many children are attracted to it, and parents who spoil their children are happy to meet some innocuous little requests from their children.
"Baba Mama, this young lady is so broad-minded, I also want to be so broad-minded, well, and handsome~" A four- or five-year-old soft Meng Zhengtai pointed to the Q version of the portrait that Gu Yi'an drew for Doudou and said excitedly.
Doudou couldn't help but proudly stand next to the portrait and said to the little boy: "This is my sister Gu's painting, look at you, this color is also me, hehe." ”
Xiao Zhengtai's parents were also spoiled by the dialogue between the two children, so they chose the first gear and asked Gu Yi'an to design a Q version avatar for Xiao Zhengtai.
Brushing and brushing, it felt like it hadn't been ten minutes before Gu Yi'an finished painting and showed it to Xiao Zhengtai and the young couple.
"Wow, I'll just say I'm Bumpman, and my identity has finally been discovered." Xiao Zhengtai danced excitedly with the scroll.
Xiao Zhengtai's mother looked at it curiously, and pulled her husband's arm in surprise, if they hadn't watched Gu Yi'an draw from beginning to end, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to believe that the little Ultraman who looked like his own son on the picture scroll was completed in a few minutes on the spot.
The couple's economic conditions are not bad, and they saw that the ordinary sketch of 100 yuan was so good, so they immediately chose another 500 yuan, and this time they decided to draw a family of three.
Gu Yi'an didn't expect to be able to operate like this, the mental effort used to draw a single person and a person must actually be different, and I will continue to add to that explanation next time.
However, this time, Gu Yi'an was not ready to sit on the ground and raise the price, after all, the rules were formulated by himself, and the other party did not deliberately exploit loopholes.
So this time, Gu Yi'an spent 20 minutes to help a family of three record a happy trip to the temple fair with colored pencils.
Looking at the back of a family of three bouncing away, Gu Yi'an also showed a big smile.
"Sister Xiao An, are you happy because your little brother is happy? Our teacher said that happiness is contagious. Everyone should strive to be a communicator of happiness. ”
Doudou said innocently.
"Yes, sister, I'm really happy." But the reason is that I heard the sound of the mobile phone ringing again.
