Chapter 128: Greed is endless
"Master, then do we want to enter Baoshan empty?" Zhuang Shen was a little unwilling to hammer his left palm with his right hand, making a crisp sound of 'pop'.
Xie Jun looked at Zhuang Shen's constipated face, and shook his head with a smile: "Who said that we should enter Baoshan empty?" I just said that we would hand over this big tree to the state, and I didn't say that we can't take some to study, hehe......"
Xu Xiaoyan looked at Xie Jun, who was smiling, and shook her head helplessly, she knew that Xie Jun would not turn around so generously, but she was planning to do so. I was about to laugh at Xie Jun with Lin Xuemeng and Chen Keyan, but found that Lin Xuemeng was drooling at the big tree, while Chen Keyan looked at Xie Jun with admiration, these two people!
Yan Fengyu's expression was a little tangled, it is said that if you find this kind of baby, you should notify your sect as soon as possible, the problem is, this baby doesn't seem to have been discovered by yourself, if you tell the sect about this, wouldn't it be suspected of robbery, and besides, doing so is also a betrayal of your friends, how can you interact with them in the future!?
Xie Jun glanced at Yan Fengyu a few times quietly, seeing that although her expression was entangled, she did not make any inappropriate moves, Xie Jun planned to hand over this tree to the state, in fact, it was also the result of considering the reactions of other sects. If you want to keep it secretly, it is absolutely impossible, with the strength of your own sect, those sects can be destroyed by just a few people. Therefore, if you want to have such a cash cow, you must unite your allies, and in the end, this matter will definitely make a big fuss, and even the national security side will be offended, and it is not cost-effective. Besides, what allies does the concept of longevity have? In Xie Jun's memory, it seems that there is no one else except Song Fu, and if one does not handle it well, maybe he will have a conflict with a sect with a better relationship, and for the sake of such a tree, the gains outweigh the losses!
"Dao Chief, this tree is a treasure is good, but for you and me, it may also be a scourge, don't you say? So, this tree should be handed over to the state, if it is given to other sects, I am afraid that there will be another fight, and the defeated person may not be able to sprinkle his anger on unrelated people, so it is better to hand it over to the country. ”
Lao Dao nodded sympathetically, this tree is indeed a treasure, but it is not a treasure that belongs to ordinary people, these fairy-like characters are fancy to things, ordinary people can't touch it, even if they don't have the intention of stealing benefits, in case those immortals quarrel, the unlucky one is not a mortal! Therefore, Xie Jun's words can be regarded as speaking to his heart, this tree is only the best for himself if it is handed over to the country, not only can he eat the emperor's grain, he does not have to worry about his future life, but also can ensure his own safety, of course, he has another choice, take the money and run away. To be honest, at his age, how much money do you give him, he is afraid that he will have no place to spend it, he is just a lonely old man with no children and no daughters, so Xie Jun did not mention the money to him, and he did not bring it up himself.
"The distinguished guest is right, and the Taoist also thinks so, so the matter will be handled by the distinguished guest, and the Taoist will listen to it. ”
Xie Jun looked up at the huge canopy, there was still a half-meter-long branch left in the place where it had been struck by lightning back then, and many new branches grew from there, this branch was Xie Jun's target, and the other parts were not easy to take, unless the crown was cut down and it could grow again.
"I'm going to take the remaining branch after being struck by lightning, do you have any tools to borrow here?" Xie Jun pointed to the branch the thickness of a bucket and said, if you want to saw that branch down, you have to cut off all the new branches on it.
"Yes, there are axes and saws, all in the utility room, I'll go get them for you. ”
"Zhuang Shen, you go and help. ”
The tools were quickly brought in, and by the way, a ladder was brought from behind the temple, although it was impossible to reach the canopy, but it was also possible to use the ladder to climb to the place where the trunk forked, otherwise, the smooth section of the trunk below would still be difficult to climb.
Zhuang Shen volunteered to go up to cut down the tree, but was stopped by Xie Jun and went up himself. Xie Jun's strength was great, and in less than ten minutes, the old trunk that had been cut off was sawed down by Xie Jun. After sawing off the trunk, Xie Jun stripped off the bark and found that the bark was really useless, and Xie Jun also got some of the outer part of the trunk, and found that it was also ineffective, and the only thing that really had a protective effect was the central part of the trunk with a diameter of twenty centimeters. However, there are no tools here, and it is not easy to process, so I have to take such a large piece of tree trunk down the mountain, according to the current length, it is estimated that it can make more than a dozen embryos of magic weapons, Xie Jun calculated that it is probably enough.
Everyone studied curiously around the sawn down tree trunk, stretched out their hands from time to time to touch it, even the old Taoist looked at it with full interest, Chen Keyan pulled Xie Jun to the well outside the temple to wash his hands and wipe his sweat, Zhuang Shen was dealing with those scattered branches and leaves, all of them were collected, and they could also be made into amulets when they were dried, not that kind of fake, Xie Jun planned to bring some of these new branches, and then entrust others to process them, and then open them again, these materials are really good, anyway, put them here, they are also cheap for the country.
While Zhuang Shen and they were busy dealing with the scattered branches, Xie Jun took out the phone to find Song Fu's number, dialed it directly, and stood by the well to talk to Song Fu.
After talking about half an hour on the phone, Xie Jun hung up the phone with satisfaction, and asked Xu Xiaoyan to call back, find a reliable person to drive over, and wait for tomorrow to meet in the town in front of him to help transport these branches back to Pengcheng, and they will continue to travel.
Back in the temple, the messy yard was almost cleaned up, and the girls were helping to sweep away the leaves on the ground.
"The people from the national security side will arrive as soon as possible, now it is estimated that they have already set off, according to their speed, it will take more than two hours to arrive, we will go to the bottom of the mountain to wait for them, you don't have to come up again in a while, you go to the town to find a place to stay, tomorrow we will continue the trip as originally planned." ”
Seeing everyone nodding, Xie Jun turned to Lao Dao and said with a smile: "The conditions they agreed to are, first, to hire you as the administrator of this cultural relics protection unit, second, to pay for the repair of temples and roads, and third, this mountainous area will be classified as a nature reserve, which can be regarded as a reward for this mountain." Fourth, compensation and incentives will be given to local residents, of course, in the name of protected areas. You see, this treatment is not satisfactory, in addition, we will give you another 10 million, you can do something yourself. ”
Lao Dao squinted his eyes and smiled, shook his head and said: "Honorable guest, I have no opinion on this matter, I didn't expect that I would be able to mix imperial food when I am old, and when I ascend to heaven, I will be able to leave a name here." It is also a great merit that this temple can become an official temple, and when I go to see my master in the future, I will be able to speak with my chest up, and I am still not satisfied. As for the money, I don't need it, I'm so old, what's the use of asking for money, there's no need. ”
Lin Xuemeng interjected and persuaded: "Old man, you can't use this money, isn't it also merit to help others who can use it?" Besides, this guy is not short of money, and the money is also moldy when he puts it there, so it is better for you to help him disperse, which can be regarded as accumulating merit for him, isn't it?"
Lao Dao felt justified when he heard it, so he nodded and said: "This girl is reasonable, then I will accept it with a cheeky face, and I will use this money to do good deeds." ”
Xie Jun glanced at Lin Xuemeng appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Okay, then please help me accumulate merit." ”
Look at the time is not early, Xie Jun and others also said goodbye to Lao Dao, Xie Jun and Zhuang Shen carried a pile of wood, especially Xie Jun, the things in his hand were afraid of more than 200 catties, but he carried it in his hand as if there was nothing, and the group said goodbye to Lao Dao while talking and laughing relaxedly, and went down the mountain in the afterglow of the fall.
"Master, why don't we take more, aren't there still Sister Keyan and Sister Feng Yu, their strength is not smaller than mine. Zhuang Shen carefully chose the place to stay, and complained a little dissatisfied.
Chen Keyan and Yan Fengyu couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this, they don't have to be used as coolies if they have strength. An Jingwen glanced at Zhuang Shen sympathetically, knowing that in the next period of the world, this guy would definitely have no good fruit to eat.
"Hmph, then do you want to cut down the whole tree and move it back?!" Xie Jun walked easily, and was still in the mood to admire the mountains under the fall, the light and shadow were faint, mysterious and majestic.
"If I can move back, I will definitely move the tree back, master, you said that it would be good if we had a legendary storage ring, and any treasure I encountered in the future could be swept away, and there was no need to cheapen others." Zhuang Shen gasped and replied, his face full of longing and regret.
Since you like to read novels, I ask you, do you know those Western dragons, those flying lizards that like to collect treasures?"
"You know, dragons, warriors, treasures, these are the elements of magic novels!
"I don't like it, I just want to ask you, where did those dragons end up?"
"Where is this ......?" Zhuang Shen felt inexplicable about the master's question, who knows where the dragon went, each novel seems to have a different ending, how to ask such a strange question.
Seeing that Zhuang Shen couldn't answer, An Jingwen interjected: "The dragons have been slaughtered, where else can they go?"
"Hehe, yes!" Xie Jun said with a smile, looking at Zhuang Shen playfully and then said: "Greed is a colorless and tasteless poison, you can take possession of wealth and obtain treasures by greed again and again, and your greed will go deeper and deeper into your bone marrow, until one day, greed becomes your instinct, just like those big lizards, then, the final result is only to become the object of slaughter, there is absolutely no second result." ”
Zhuang Shen was stunned, he never seemed to have considered this problem, in his thinking, like the protagonist in a fantasy novel, constantly obtaining treasures, constantly having stronger strength, and constantly trampling opponents under his feet, it seems that this kind of life is very cool, very natural, there should be absolutely no problem, but now that I think about it, it seems that this way of living is actually looking for death!!
"Our Taoist ancestor told us that the crooked neck tree has the longest life, haha......"
Xie Jun's laughter startled a group of birds returning to the nest, and when they fell, the reckless mountains and hovering birds were as beautiful as a painting!
