"Yes, Master!" all the disciples were happy, feeling that everything was worth it. Only Li Xian'er returned to her cave mansion in despair, and cried bitterly on the bed, "Senior brother, I'm sorry! I just built the foundation, and there are still many things to do, I betrayed you!"

"Xian'er, what's wrong?You should be happy when you succeed in building the foundation, why do you cry as soon as you come back?" Master Elder Cui came to the cave mansion and asked in surprise, she had never seen Li Xian'er so sad, no matter how hard the practice was, Xian'er didn't shed a single tear! What's wrong with her?

Li Xian'er jumped up from the bed, threw herself into Elder Cui's arms at once, shouted "Master" and cried even more sadly, Elder Cui sighed, she was a person from the past, so she naturally understood Li Xian'er's mood, stopped talking, and gently patted Li Xian'er's back

Cheng Lin is a businessman in Lingnan County, Chuzhou, Qin State, in his forties, constantly shuttling around more than a dozen counties, selling all kinds of goods, such as selling Lingnan County's specialty ginseng to Yuanshan County, which is dozens of miles away, and then selling figs and other figs from Yuanshan County to Linhuai County, which is farther away, to earn the difference in price and make profits.

Now, on the way to Yuanshan County, he hired two carriages, but he is also leisurely. Yuanshan County is named because it is located at the foot of a mountain called Yuanshan. Yuan Mountain is more than 1,000 zhang high, stretches for dozens of miles, there is a volcanic crater on the highest main peak Yuan Li Feng, the volcano erupted some time ago, burned a large area of woods, so the trip was delayed, went around a big circle, went to Linhuai County first, and then rushed to Yuan County.

However, because of the volcanic eruption in Yuanxian County, the road was blocked, but Chenglin was a blessing in disguise, although the time was longer, but the price increased by three percent, but earned hundreds of more silver.

"Boss Cheng, do you see that a person fell to the ground in front of you?" Lao Wang, who was driving the car, pushed Cheng Lin and pointed to the front and asked.

Cheng Lin was sleeping in the carriage, and the carriage was swaying so much that he fell asleep, and was pushed by Lao Wang, and looked up, on the edge of a charred woodland, a person was lying in a pile of black, charred trees.

Cheng Lin hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran over, it was not a passer-by who was burned by the volcanic fire. The coachman, Lao Wang, also ran over with him, and when he came closer, it turned out that it was not a person, but a statue that was exactly the same as a real person. Cheng Lin patted his chest, it's good that he's not human!

This statue is carved like a real person, almost exactly like a person, even the hair is clearly visible, it is simply ingenious! Cheng Lin took out the towel he carried with him and wiped it a few times, the bronze metallic luster of the statue scene looked gorgeous and abnormal, shining dazzling in the sun, and it was carved from very precious metal at a glance.

Cheng Lin's eyes lit up, he couldn't put it down, and turned around and told Lao Wang, "Call Lao Li too, the three of us will be lifted to the car, and if we can sell it at a good price, each of us will share one hundred taels with you!"

When Lao Wang heard this, his heart blossomed, and he immediately agreed to run to call Lao Li. The three of them used their strength to move the metal statue to the carriage, and the carriage immediately sank into the ground, and as a last resort, the three of them took turns to help the horse push the carriage to Yuanshan County. Fortunately, it is not too far from the county seat.

"Boss Cheng, how much do you think this statue can be sold for? Five hundred taels?" Lao Wang asked tiredly and sweating, wiping his sweat.

"I'll see more than that, how can I get eight hundred taels! When the time comes, don't forget our old brothers!" Lao Li said to the side and gave Lao Wang a look.

"No problem, as long as you sell an extra three hundred taels, each person will give you another fifty taels!" Cheng Lin agreed very happily, he has been in business all year round, and naturally knows that money is not earned by one person, and it is also a windfall.

An hour later, Cheng Lin's two carriages came to the gate of Yuanshan County, paid the entrance fee, and Cheng Lin asked Lao Wang and Lao Li to drive the carriage to find a place to live first, and then go to the market early tomorrow morning to sell goods.

The three of them were tired for a day, so they naturally rested early after dinner.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Lin suddenly heard the sound of a pounding heartbeat, like a big drum ringing in his ears, so frightened that he hurriedly got up, is there a thief to steal his goods? With an oil lamp, Cheng Lin tiptoed out of the room, but saw a bright light falling on the carriage, which looked very dazzling!

Cheng Lin was stunned, what was the situation, rubbed his eyes, there was nothing, even the fluttering heartbeat sound he heard just now disappeared, everything was like nothing had happened!

Cheng Lin walked back to the room with a muttering to himself, continued to sleep, the night was quiet, and everything was calm.

Early the next morning, Cheng Lin called Lao Wang and Lao Li, drove the carriage to the market in Yuanshan County, found a good position, moved all the goods on the car, and finally picked up the statue and laboriously got it down, pestle it aside, and wiped it clean with a damp cloth.

There are more and more people in the bazaar, everyone who comes to Chenglin's stall to buy things looks around the statue a few times, all of them praise it, the carving technique, the degree of delicacy is really amazing, lifelike, put on a brocade robe, almost exactly the same as a real person, it is simply a master! In less than half a day, the whole bazaar knows that there is a metal statue in Chenglin here, and they have come to watch, and it has become a scenery for a while.

Cheng Lin had an idea, since so many people like to watch, why don't you take some silver taels and make a small fortune? So he asked Lao Wang and Lao Li to surround the statue with cloth, and whoever wanted to see it would pay twenty yuan, but the result was that more and more people watched it, and they all lined up in a long line.

"Miss, look at how lively this market is, look at how good this peach is, buy a few and go back to taste it?"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who looked like a maid followed behind a woman covered her face with a veil, chattering incessantly.

"Hey, miss, you see there's a long queue there, I don't know what it's for, let's go and see?" The maid saw the long queue at Chenglin's stall, and immediately said curiously. It's no wonder that Miss never goes out because of her ugly appearance, but she suffocates herself, and she finally comes out once, so she must have enough fun. Since there are so many people in line, it is naturally a very interesting thing, and the people who saw it shook their heads and exclaimed, and she was even more interested.

"Miss, please, let's go and have a look?" The maid couldn't take a step anymore, and held Miss's hand. Other people's maids don't dare to do this, just because the young lady doesn't treat her as a maid, but treats her like a sister, otherwise she wouldn't dare to be presumptuous. The young lady was really entangled by the maid and had no choice but to agree.
