First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]

After dinner, Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan took a taxi to Old Street.

The old street at night is no less crowded than during the day, and the red lanterns hung during the Chinese New Year have not been removed. At night, the quaint narrow alleys are covered with all kinds of bright red lanterns, which is very festive.

Zhou Tong didn't mention the way to break the evil situation along the way, and Ling Yuan didn't mention it tacitly. The two chatted casually about their parents and strolled to the deepest part of the old street.Along the way, although Zhou Tong occasionally went into a few shops to have a look, he didn't stay long. It seemed random, but his purpose was very clear.

He walked to the deepest part of the old street, and arrived in front of the Lvyimen opened by Duanmuqiu.

There are two red lanterns hung at the door of Luyi, but the lanterns are much more delicate than other houses. The green pattern on them is reflected by the light, which looks as beautiful as a piece of emerald.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong sighed Duanmuqiu's Huizhi Lanxin, and entered the house with Ling Yuan.

The incense was still burning in the greenery, and green smoke was coming out of the animal head incense burner. Duanmuqiu was sitting behind the counter, holding the pipe to puff the clouds, while propping his chin in a daze of boredom.

Seeing her bored look, Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Aunt Qiu? This look looks like she is suffering from lovesickness. I don't know which man is so lucky to be favored by Aunt Qiu."

Duanmuqiu's eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Tong enter the room. She took a breath of cigarettes, put the cigarette stick on the small jade pillow, and said with an annoyed smile, "I haven't seen you in a few months. I've gained a lot of courage. Even you Does Aunt Qiu dare to make fun of you?"

"How dare you." Zhou Tong joked with a smile, "It's because Aunt Qiu is out of her mind."

Duanmuqiu sighed, and said: "Business is not easy these days." Her eyes lit up, remembering the big business that Zhou Tong brought every time he came, she hurriedly asked, "As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. , Xiao Tong, do you have a big business to take care of me this time?"

"Yes." Zhou Tong was not polite, and said directly, "I want to ask Aunt Qiu if there are jade stones that are gold, water, and earth."

"People come to me to buy good-looking and auspicious things, but you are a naughty boy, and you insist on buying something with attributes, which makes it difficult for your Aunt Qiu." Duanmuqiu smiled again, and complained lightly, without waiting for weeks. In response, he said, "It's also your Aunt Qiu who has all the goods here. Wait, I'll get them for you."

As the saying goes, jade has five virtues, benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, propriety, and faith correspond to the five virtues of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Jade has five virtues, whether high or low. What Zhou Tong needs is that the three virtues of earth, water, and gold are respectively high The external performance of jade is that it presents the properties of earth, water and metal respectively.

Since ancient times, when a celestial master encounters a bad situation, he either changes the situation, turns the bad situation into a normal state, or turns the bad situation into auspiciousness by a powerful person, or completely fills up the bad situation, beheads its head, and cuts off its roots.

What Zhou Tong has to do is to combine the two, break and then stand.

Among the five elements, earth conquers water, first destroying the black water surrounded by wolves;

The problem in Mr. Cheng's family is still the woodcarving painting, not the tools as Zou Fei said.

Zou Fei was deliberately diverting his attention, there must be something tricky in that painting.

Before today, Zhou Tong was hesitant to make a move because of too many doubts. Instead, his hands and feet were trapped by too many thoughts. Today, seeing the change in the direction of Qi has completely opened his mind.

The situation is actually very simple, it is an ordinary evil situation in which the five elements generate and restrain each other.

Woodcarving is wood in nature, but for some reason, the aura of water is entwined in that trace of wood spirit, which is trapped in the woodcarving painting by the mounting frame. The spirit of this woodcarving has become a kind of spirit without self-awareness. Taking it as the origin, in the room blessed by black water, more and more woodcarvings have been affected, and a wood-water double evil spirit has gradually formed. The fierce situation.

Logically speaking, green wood is tough, and black water is warmer than white gold and red fire, which are more aggressive and aggressive, so it is not easy to cause evil. Precisely because it can be straight and straight, it often shows dominance. Although the water "moistens down", it is also said to be a scourge.The Five Elements Theory seems simple, but it is the most difficult game to set up in practice. If you have a little knowledge of the Five Elements, you can open up your own business and live comfortably, which shows its depth.

After waiting for a while, Duanmuqiu took out three brocade boxes from the back room, opened them one by one and put them in front of Zhou Tong.

The three pieces of jade are all rough stones, which have not been polished and carved. Most of the celestial masters like to use this kind of rough stones. Firstly, the unique essence of jade is preserved without human hands. Build separately.

The three rough stones were all very good. After Zhou Tong looked at them, he boasted, "I knew that the jade from Aunt Qiu's side is the best, and the one from Old Street is second to none."

The jade that Duanmuqiu took out was only the size of an egg, moist and lustrous, and it looked like a high-quality raw jade stone. The taste is very good.

Zhou Tong said: "I will buy this rough stone with two attributes of gold and earth, and Aunt Qiu will just ask for a price."

Duanmuqiu picked out the slender and delicate willow eyebrows, and looked like a shrewd businessman: "Is this rough stone for you to use, or for someone else to solve the problem?"

"For others."

Duanmuqiu's eyes flashed wolfishly, and he said with a smile: "Then I'll make an unreserved price. The two rough jade stones total 100 million yuan. What do you think?"

"Okay." Zhou Tong agreed without hesitation. Seeing Zhou Tong's honest face, Duanmuqiu joked with him, "Although someone will pay you, you should pretend to bargain anyway. If it is reported to the big boss Ear, that's not bad."

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "I paid for it myself."

Duanmuqiu was taken aback: "What?"

Zhou Tong roughly talked about the affairs of Cheng Jiuan's family. Duanmuqiu nodded after hearing this, and looked at Zhou Tong with a little more tenderness in her eyes. If you cheat out of a penny, it’s just you, not only doesn’t make money, but also puts money in it, I don’t think that stubborn old artist has much money to stick to the two pieces of jade you bought.”

Zhou Tong shook his head and said: "Aunt Qiu also knows that I am a businessman, so there is a reason why I helped him so much. If the fire spirit sealed in the wood carving painting can be taken down and raised in jade, no matter it is used for The price of making utensils or selling them is more than ten times or even dozens of times higher than the price of these two rough stones, it is something truly spiritual."

"You boy." Duanmuqiu rolled his eyes, very disapproving. Even so, how to deal with the fire spirit is a big problem, and Zhou's call obviously has other purposes, he doesn't want to say, Duanmu Qiu didn't bother to ask, and she naturally didn't reveal Zhou Tong's kindness.

After paying, Zhou Tong pushed back the piece of water-attribute jade that he didn't buy, and asked, "Is there any other way for Aunt Qiu to get a better water-attribute spirit stone?"

Duanmu Qiu stared, pretending to be angry and said: "What? Why don't you ask Aunt Qiu if she has anything better?"

Zhou Tong smiled obediently: "I know that what Aunt Qiu gave me must be the best thing."

"You kid can talk." Duanmuqiu burst out laughing, and said, "If only Qi Qing's silly boy could talk three times as well as you."

"How is Qi Qing recently?" Zhou Tong asked.

"How should I put it..." Sighing, Duanmuqiu said with some distress, "Since Han Chi and his son got their retribution, the Han family has prospered, but Qi Qing also suffered. I can turn corners, and I have to do some things myself, which puts a lot of burden on myself."

"Qi Qing has always been responsible."

"That's stupid."

Duanmuqiu said what was wrong with Han Qiqing, but she was happy in her heart. She had no children in her life, and Han Qiqing was like her own child. Han Qiqing was suffering, and she was also suffering in her heart. Seeing that Han Qiqing was promising, she was also happy.

Mentioning Han Qiqing, Duanmuqiu suddenly remembered something, took out a post in small gilt characters from the drawer, and said: "I almost forgot about this, three days later, there will be a stone gambling meeting at Zhangjiayuan, I heard that many people from The stones brought back by Burmese Pagan include not only rough stones, but also a lot of emeralds that have been decomposed (jargon, with the same pronunciation). Come and have a look with me? Maybe you can get the jade you want. "

Emerald is also a kind of jade, red jade is emerald, green jade is emerald, the earliest word emerald refers to a kind of bird, the male bird of this bird is red, and the female bird is green, so it is called emerald. It has been used in the jade world.

When Duanmuqiu mentioned this, Zhou Tong's eyes lit up when he heard that this was a way out. He was already interested in betting on stones. He thought he would gamble if he had the chance, so he asked Duanmuqiu for the specific time, and there was no conflict. Zhou Tong agreed.

After he went back, he was still looking for suitable water-attribute jade, so he didn't put all his chances on gambling stones.

Among the three jade stones used to break the evil situation, this piece of water-attributed jade is very important, and the front is restrained, and this jade is used for mutual generation, and its aura is greater than that of the earth attribute, so as not to be restrained. It must be pure and clean so that it will not be affected by the original black water evil in the house. The most important thing is that water can overcome fire, and the original fire spirit cannot be damaged. Ordinary jade is not enough.

Three days later, Zhou Tong took Ling Yuan to the meeting place. After Yunxiu knew about it, he wanted to go with him. Ling Yuan stayed in the bronze halberd head for 2000 years, and it was full of Ling Yuan's breath. Xiu lived uncomfortable, and wanted to get a piece of jade to support his spiritual body.

Jade has the best effect in terms of nourishment. There is often a folk saying that if a child is born in poor health, just take a piece of jade that is suitable for fate. In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu was born with jade It was proclaimed to be a fortune from heaven.

Zhangjiayuan is an old garden. According to legend, it was built by an idle prince who liked to collect jade in the late Qing Dynasty. He specially adopted the jade carvers he invited. Today, this old garden continues to be used as the venue for jade tasting conferences.

The theme of this conference is Emerald.

As long as you go to the organizer to register and pay the fee, you can sell the rough jadeite you get at the conference. In addition to selling rough stones, there are also sold jadeites that have been unraveled or finished products after carving. There are all kinds of jadeite. Such a grand event, even some old antiques in city A who don't go out very much all the year round and are a little bit proud because of their age are also alarmed.

At the meeting place, people in different clothes shuttled among the bustling crowd, and all the stalls were crowded with stone gamblers.

The style of this home is not high, and there is no need for any tickets to enter and exit, but it will post regularly to famous people, and will also specially prepare private rooms for rest and dinner parties for these people.

The prices of the jade sold in the garden also vary. There are a few yuan or tens of yuan a piece of rough stone for people to untie and play with, and there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of high-priced rough stones.

Gambling stones is a thing with the word "gamble", but it is counted as one of the 360 ​​lines.

According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a woodcutter named Bian He. He got a stone from the mountain and believed that there was jade in it. He presented it to King Li of Chu and King Wu of Chu successively. , until King Wen of Chu, who had a keen eye to recognize the pearl, cut the stone and found that the inside was full of greenery. It was the famous Heshibi who later gained a priceless allusion.

Therefore, the ancestor of stone betting recorded in the records is Bian He.

There has always been a saying in stone gambling that "one knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife wears linen". Time, unwinding and unraveling is just a thought.Those who dare to touch the gambling stone generally have to be a little courageous, otherwise, they will lose their fortune just by playing casually, and there are not enough queues on the roof.

Zhou Tong didn't know much about gambling stones, he was limited to the content in books, and he was not in a hurry, so he followed Duanmuqiu to observe and observe first.

The booths were full of rough stones, and money flowed out like running water. Some families were happy and some were sad, and some people passed out on the spot after finishing the solution.

It happened that there was a person next to him who was dissecting the stone. He was in his sixties, with the spirit of a dragon and a tiger, and his eyes were so black that they were shining. My heart sank, very steady.

Sure enough, after the rough stone was extracted, there was a large piece of emerald green emerald. Although there was only one piece, it was estimated to be a big profit in terms of color and water quality.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhou Tong watching from the side, and he talked to Zhou Tong in a good mood: "Young man, look at your cautious appearance, is this your first time to gamble on stones?"

Zhou Tong smiled modestly, nodded a little shyly and replied: "Yes, I am a little dazzled."

"Hahaha." The old man laughed a few times, and said, "I was like this when I gambled with stones for the first time. I have accumulated some experience, and as an old senior, I would like to give you a few words. This gambling stone should not only look at the surface, let alone be greedy. line, don’t buy a large piece’, the green drilled deep inside may hide good things, but be careful to be deceived, there are not no unscrupulous people who put toothbrush handles into waste stones to fill emeralds!”

Zhou Tong nodded hurriedly. The old man was about to say a few more words when he saw the bustling crowd flocking to one place. It was very lively. Duanmuqiu was also curious and asked, "What's going on over there?"

The old gentleman glanced at it, snorted disdainfully, and said, "Young man is full of arrogance. He hasn't fallen on the gambling stone before, so he doesn't know the pain. If this continues, he will fall to pieces sooner or later." He saw that Zhou Tong and Duanmuqiu were both With a puzzled expression on his face, he explained, "That young man is quite famous in the stone gambling circle, his name is Li Tianhe. It is said that he has solved a lot of good jade since his debut, and he has to make a name for himself every time. Most people in this industry It's all for profit, but Li Tianhe wants to gain both fame and fortune. This time, I don't know what big tricks he has made. My old man is getting old, and the earning is enough. Let's go back first, take your time. "He said, put the jade in his pocket and left.

Hearing the name, Duanmuqiu became interested and said, "I've heard of this man's name. The few pieces of jade that came in recently came from this man. I thought it was an old guy, but it turned out to be a young man. Let's go and have a look." ? Just for you to learn and learn."

Zhou Tong responded, the flow of people was too high, Ling Yuan had already pulled Zhou Tong's hand for some reason, fearing that they would be scattered, the two held hands without hesitation and walked to the booth with the most people.

This is a real crowd. Duanmuqiu is not too petite. With a height of nearly 1.7 meters, he can't see anything in the crowd. Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan are taller, but they can reach a corner.

I saw a stone-removing machine among the crowd, and a young man sat on the side calmly, playing with his mobile phone calmly. For a moment, everyone's eyes lit up, and the original stone shone with a brilliant color. aqua.

The master who solved the stone shook his hands, and said with a little trembling: "Looking at the color and water head, it should be ice species..."

"Be steady." The young man raised his head from the phone, glanced at the untied thread, and said, "There's still something inside, don't untie it for me."

"Hey!" The master continued to explain.

Jieshi also had an accident. Master Jieshi does not take responsibility for accidents. Generally speaking, he is not very good at finding strange masters to explain. This is the first time this young man and Master Jieshi have cooperated today, so he handed over this rough stone to Becoming a master is not a small courage.

At the end of the explanation, everyone looked envious, and after asking the price of the rough stone, they were even more envious to the point of overflowing with jealousy.

This rough stone was bought for one hundred thousand yuan, and the ice-type jadeite that has been extracted can be sold for millions after processing, which is really a big profit.

With the young man taking the lead in this battle, the others turned around to look for targets like chicken blood.

After seeing it, Zhou Tong also had a general understanding, and said to Duanmuqiu: "Aunt Qiu, let's go to see the stone too."

"Okay."

Although Duanmuqiu likes jade, he is not good at betting on stones. He played it once or twice when he was young, and he lost a lot of money, so he secretly decided not to waste his mind on betting on stones. He is also older, but in terms of stone gambling skills, it is not much different from that of Zhou Tong, who is just getting started.

Zhou Tong was picking at the side, and she just looked at it without responding, and was going to check the price and give Zhou Tong a piece of rough stone as a gift.

After scanning a few stalls, there was nothing eye-catching, and Ling Yuan didn't feel impatient as he followed Zhou Tong.

All jade stones have more or less aura, and if there is any jade in the stone, Zhou Tong can tell by looking at it with his yin and yang eyes, but Zhou Tong wants to see for himself and have some fun. Wandering around in the pile.

Finally, Zhou Tong stopped and spotted a rough stone.

The stone seller was an old man, dressed in shabby clothes, and there were not many rough stones on the stall. Many people who came here were smuggled to Burma, bought rough stones from there and sold them here, and many of them were like the ones from before. An old gentleman said that he got a few stones and made the original stone himself. The real and the fake are mixed together, and those who don't have sharp eyes or exquisite hearts are easy to be deceived.

Maybe the old man's clothes and the rough stones on the booth didn't look good. There weren't many people in front of the booth, and a few people walked away after just a glance. Obviously they didn't care about the rough stones.

There is nothing the old man can do in a hurry. With so many stalls, he can't just buy and sell by force, right?

As soon as Zhou Tong stood in front of the booth, the old man came up to greet him very attentively. Looking at Zhou Tong's appearance and age, he looked like a college student who didn't know the world, but the shrewdness in his eyes made the old man dare not speak rashly. After a while, come up with the same routine that Chinese people have been doing business for thousands of years-treat each other with sincerity.

The old man laughed and said, "Did the young man take a fancy to this rough stone?"

Zhou Tong picked up the rough stone and looked around. After observing for a while, he asked, "What's the price of this rough stone?"

The old man stretched out his hand and made a gesture: "Fifty thousand."

Zhou Tong pursed his lips and said nothing. When the people on the side heard the price, they took a special look and said, "Young people, don't be fooled. This must be a rock. The [-] yuan is definitely worthless." After that, he was pulled by the person next to him, who also knew that he had broken the rules by talking too much, shrugged resentfully, and muttered: "I don't like seeing young people being cheated, it's okay, I don't Having said that, what kind of wind can a stranger like me..."

Although Duanmuqiu was inexperienced, he could tell that the quality of the stone was average, but since Zhou Tong liked her, he had nothing to say, and was about to pay, when Zhou Tong asked, "Thirty thousand, are you selling it?"

This haggling is really tough... The corners of Duanmuqiu's mouth twitched, thinking that it's a good thing Zhou Tong didn't bargain with her.

The old man was busy selling his own rough stones again, seeing that Zhou Tong insisted on [-] yuan, and even wanted to put down the rough stones if he couldn't make a deal, he said, "Sure, [-] yuan is [-] yuan, let's say it first, I only accept cash. "

"Okay." The old man was straightforward, and Zhou Tong was even more forthright. Duanmuqiu wanted to help pay, but Zhou Tong blocked him by betting on stones for the first time in his life, so he had no choice but to wait for the next opportunity.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Zhou Tong took the rough stone and was ready to find someone to solve it.

Seeing the smug look in his eyes, Ling Yuan said, "I could have made a lot of money, but if I forcibly cut him [-] yuan, the old man knew he would be mad at you."

Zhou Tong laughed even more cheerfully: "It's normal to bargain when doing business."

Ling Yuan tightened Zhou Tong's holding hands, and said, "I'll help you out."

"Can you solve it?"

"Yeah." Ling Yuan said, "I liked playing this when I was young."

"That's a good thing, if you leave it to someone else, you'll have nothing to talk about." Zhou Tong agreed happily.

"What?" Ling Yuan raised his brows and looked at Zhou Tong provocatively, "If I break it for you, will you take revenge on me?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Tong pretended to be thinking, smiled slyly at Ling Yuan, and whispered, "If you don't go to bed for three months, you can be fined."

Ling Yuan: "..." Cruel and merciless...
