Chapter 23: Lord of the Lonely Cloud Xuan
In the spring of 1921, Qin Di once again left home and began a long journey.
He walked a lot of places, Huangshan, Jiuhua Mountain, Dabie Mountain, Taishan, Huashan, Tiantai Mountain, Yandang Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Jiuzhaigou, Shennongjia...... One is to investigate the local aura and find the legendary fairy mountain blessed land, and the other is to understand whether there are real people in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, especially Zhuji monks, Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun.
Along the way, he found some places with aura, but unfortunately the aura was not rich enough, and it was okay to use it for short-term cultivation, and there was no way to live in seclusion for a long time.
But he didn't give up, he felt that his skills were insufficient, and his eyes hadn't been opened yet, so he couldn't find the hidden cave.
On 20 May, he collected a pile of yellow essence in Wuyi Mountain, which clearly had a very strong aura, which was 100 times stronger than the old ginseng sold in the drugstore! At the same time, he also found that the aura around him was also richer than elsewhere!
Qin Di was in high spirits and guessed that the Immortal Mountain Blessed Land was nearby. But he searched for more than half a month with wide eyes, and finally did not find it.
"Strange, why can't you find it? Could it be that it was closed by the Gu Immortals?"
As a last resort, Qin Di carried a large bag of yellow essence on his back and reluctantly left Wuyi Mountain.
Then he went through some tossing and turning, passing through Jiaxing South Lake, and made a new discovery, on the small island in the middle of the lake, there was a lot of aura.
Qin Di was in high spirits, walked around the island, and found that there are buildings such as Yanyu Building, Qinghui Hall, Guyunxuan, Jianting, Xiaopenglai, and Baomei Pavilion.
He spent some time thinking about it, found Zhang Changqing, the governor of Jiaxing County, and gave him a generous gift, asking about the property rights of the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake, and if anyone wanted to sell it, he was willing to pay a high price to buy a dwelling.
Zhang Changqing looked at the gift, was very satisfied, and said: "I can call the shots, I will leave you a room in the Yanyu Building, and it will be no problem to live for a year and a half." ”
Qin Di hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, forget about Yanyu Building." ”
Zhang Changqing said: "The Yanyu Building was built by the county with fundraising, and the rest of the pavilions are privately owned. ”
Qin Di smiled: "I have taken a fancy to Gu Yunxuan, I don't know who its owner is?"
Zhang Changqing replied: "The owner of Gu Yunxuan is a big local family, and he may not be willing to sell it." ”
"Tell me, if not, I'll die. ”
"That man's name is Wang Fuqing, and he has made a lot of money doing business. There was a bridge outside the city, which he had donated. ”
"Thanks for the information, I'll ask. ”
Qin Di found Wang Fuqing, but it only cost eight thousand oceans to take Gu Yunxuan down.
Since he is a businessman, everything has a price, except for the ancestral house, which is not easy to sell, the rest of the real estate is easy to say.
Wang Fuqing responded to the call of the county magistrate and built a Guyunxuan on the island in the middle of the lake, mainly to sell his reputation and reputation, but in fact, after it was built, he never went up to live.
He is a businessman, and he is not a scholar, how can he moan without illness and live in the middle of a lonely lake!
He didn't expect that someone would actually spend 8,000 oceans to buy Gu Yunxuan! In his eyes, this buyer was a fool! Because of the same price, he could buy a three-entry courtyard in the county seat.
Qin Di had only lived in Guyunxuan for half a month, and it was August 2.
On this day, he closed the door tightly and did not dare to show up.
But the trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop.
That afternoon, on a hot day, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He frowned, not wanting to open the door, but the knocking kept coming.
He had to get up and open the door, and found two men standing in the doorway, both in their thirties and forties, one with big ears and a high hairline, dressed in a modest gown, and the other with a thin face, a suit and leather shoes, and a shiny glossy head.
Seeing these two people, Qin Di breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and thought, "It's okay, it's not that earth-shattering god!"
One of the gentlemen, who was dressed plainly, said with a smile: "Little brother, the weather is too hot, can you ask for a sip of water?"
The man in the suit said with a grin: "Young man, please get a cup of tea! Don't worry, we will pay for the tea." ”
Qin Di asked casually: "Strange, is it possible that tea is not provided on the painting boat?"
The expressions of the two changed slightly, and the plainly dressed people asked, "How do you know that we came from the painting boat?"
Qin Di said with a smile: "Across such a wide lake, how can you come without a boat?"
The man in the suit said, "Haha, you're right. Young man, why are you the only one in this Lonely Cloud Pavilion?
Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "I'm cultivating my mind here, what kind of maid do I want?"
The man urged, "Please have some tea!" and he reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Qin Di said with a smile: "Meeting is fate, two gentlemen, please come in." ”
The two of them sat down, and after a while, Qin Di brought the tea.
They took a sip and couldn't help but praise it.
"Good tea, good tea! This is the best West Lake Longjing!"
"It's rare, the little gentleman is an elegant person, but I don't know what his surname is?"
Qin Di opened his mouth and replied: "My surname is 'Ding'." It's called 'Ding Chunqiu'. ”
The man in the long robe asked: "I see that there are not many people on this island in the middle of the lake, and it is very rare that you can endure loneliness." ”
Qin Di said again: "I am cultivating my mind and nature, and I can't be disturbed by others." ”
I don't know why, the man in the suit put down the teacup and let out a loud sneer: "You are young, you don't study in school, and you don't make a proper living, but you hide here and live idlely, what do you say about cultivating your mind and cultivating your nature, and you really think you are a Taoist priest?"
Qin Di glanced at him and said lightly: "Cultivating the heart, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, this is the foundation of being a man." Mr. Zhou, I kindly invited you to tea, why do you bother to be sarcastic?"
This person's face changed drastically: "Huh? How do you know that my surname is Zhou? Which side are you a spy? Unexpectedly, you are waiting for us here!"
Qin Di said: "Mr. Zhou, you want to be wrong! I closed the door tightly, and I didn't want to open it when I heard the knock, because I didn't want to cause trouble." If I were a spy, you two would be miserable. ”
The man in the long robe was not surprised, took another sip of tea, and said, "So, you know who we are?"
Qin Di smiled and said, "Mr. Ge, don't worry, we are not enemies. Pingshui meets, after drinking this pot of tea, please go by yourself. ”
The two of them became more and more amazed, and the tea became tasteless.
After a while, a pot of tea was finished, and the two got up to take their leave.
Mr. Ge said, "Excuse me." ”
Qin Di bowed and said, "You're welcome." Mr. Go, I have the utmost respect for you. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can send someone to Guyunxuan and leave a letter. Regardless of anything, I am willing to do my best to help. ”
Mr. Ge didn't take his words to heart, and said lightly: "Don't dare to disturb Your Excellency." ”
Seeing the other party turn around, Qin Di quietly put a business card in his pocket.
When Mr. Zhou left, he put a piece of ocean on the table, which was regarded as paying for the tea.
After Qin Di saw the two away, he closed the door again.
After the two men left Nanhu, they did not go far and separated.
After a while, Mr. Ge suddenly found that there was an extra business card in his pocket, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was written: "Guyun Xuan Master, specializing in Western medicine, with this business card, it will be supplied at half price." ”
He threw his business card on the ground and muttered: "What is the 'Master of Guyun Xuan'?
He took a few steps forward, remembered the strange demeanor of the young man, hesitated a little, turned around, picked up the business card again, blew off the dust on it, and put it back in his pocket.
