Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 37: Monks and aristocratic families are all natives of the Tang Dynasty.

"Amitabha."

The skinny master called out the Buddha's name.

Li Huaian stopped pushing the glazed Buddha statue and stared at the skinny mage who spoke. He looked calmly at the old monk who had said nothing just now, but because of his actions towards the glazed Buddha statue, he moved his mind to meditate.

"Old monk, I just called you Master, not because I care about your existence, but because of the temple behind you and the Buddhist family who can spend 20 taels of gold to buy this glazed Buddha statue. .”

"Now."

"If you really don't agree, this glass Buddha statue will have no value in existence."

"Why don't we smash this glass Buddha statue in front of you and me?"

"For me, I just lost a priceless glazed Buddha statue. You, the temple where you are, or the Buddhist family behind you lost it, but it cannot just be a matter of such a glazed Buddha statue. .”

"You said, am I right?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have meditated and chanted sutras in front of my Liuli Pavilion in the past three days."

"It's disturbing my business in Liuli Pavilion."

"I don't get anything for free here."

Perhaps his action of pushing the glazed Buddha statue and the tone of his words didn't seem to be fake.

The skinny master finally stopped chanting silently and chose to stand up, bowing to Li Huaian and shouting the Buddha's name. This was the first time he paid attention to Li Huaian since entering the box.

"Amitabha."

"By doing this, the donor destroyed more than just a Buddhist treasure, the glazed Buddha statue."

"Isn't the donor afraid of falling into hell forever and being punished by karma?"

Li Huaian shook his head.

"Don't be afraid. I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I believe in my ancestors."

"The ancestors and sects who are related by blood will no longer bless me. Belief in ghosts and gods is probably of no use."

"Besides, let's talk about hell."

"I think the old monk should know better than me."

hell.

Or ghosts and gods.

Karma.

For him, do you believe it?

Perhaps before it might have been believed that these things could not exist.

But since he got the [All Heavens] system and could cross worlds to the Tang Dynasty through the system, he was actually looking forward to whether he would have the chance to meet these legendary extraordinary beings.

it is a pity that.

Currently, the [Zhutian] system has only opened the Tang Dynasty world.

It seems that there are no ghosts or gods in the Tang Dynasty world, and it is a very normal historical world.

Again.

Even the world of the Tang Dynasty had a mythological system.

By the time.

At worst, he could just hide back to the main world.

You can't use the mythological system of the Tang Dynasty to go to the main world to catch him.

Also for this reason.

Only then did he say these words firmly.

The words made the skinny mage very helpless.

Master Skinny saw that Li Huaian was not afraid of ghosts and gods, so he wanted to persuade him in another direction.

"Donor, why don't you form a good relationship with my Buddha?"

"It also accumulates merit for the donor."

"Selling a valuable Buddhist treasure at a price will really cause a deep sin for the donor."

"As long as the benefactor hands this glazed Buddha statue to the old monk, and asks the old monk to invite him back to the temple to receive incense from devotees, the old monk will lead the entire temple to recite sutras and bless the benefactor's great merits day and night."

"The donor will definitely receive blessings."

Li Huaian became a little angry when he saw that the skinny mage in front of him didn't say anything serious.

So he stretched out his hands to lift the glazed Buddha statue on the table and placed it on the window sill. He looked at the skinny mage who looked nervous and stared at the glazed Buddha statue with his old eyes.

"Old monk, let's talk about something serious."

"You don't need to tell me anything about merit, I haven't encountered spiritual energy recovery yet."

"20 taels of gold in exchange for this glazed Buddha statue."

"How about this way both parties are happy with each other?"

"Otherwise, I really don't mind letting go now. You can also leave this room and go down there to assemble your Buddha and see if it can still be completed."

Done.

He also did not forget to push the glazed Buddha statue towards the window sill, as if he was about to throw the glazed Buddha statue from the second floor to the street outside.

"donor."

When the skinny mage saw this, he became a little anxious. He took two steps towards the glazed Buddha statue in fright, and stretched out his hands to protect the glazed Buddha statue that was almost crumbling.

But he was afraid of causing misunderstanding, causing the glass Buddha statue to fall directly out of the window.

He had to stop in his tracks.

Hesitate again and again.

The skinny mage had to nod his head to save the glass Buddha statue.

"Donor, the old monk is willing to exchange 20 taels of gold for this glazed Buddha statue."

"late."

Li Huaian looked at the glazed Buddha statue in his hand and quoted a new price.

"Because of the reason just now, I am very sad. Now I need 30 taels of gold to heal my heart."

"Donor, you can't be so unreasonable."

"It's really hard for the old monk to get 30 taels of gold."

Master Skinny heard Li Huaian sit on the ground and raise the price. If he hadn't been worried about the safety of the glazed Buddha statue, he would have almost transformed into an angry Vajra on the spot, so that the ignorant person in front of him who disrespected the Buddha would also know the anger of the monk.

"I don't care if you can collect it or not. Whenever the 30 taels of gold are delivered, you can take away this glazed Buddha statue."

A chance to pluck feathers from the Iron Rooster.

Li Huaian didn't care whether he offended the skinny mage in front of him or not, he would still offend the Buddha.

Pluck the hair first and then talk.

The Tang Dynasty was not a chaotic time.

As long as you don't leave Chang'an City.

The probability of blackout under the lamp should be low.

You can let him take the risk and try to offend Buddhism.

mainly.

Li Huaian didn't want to have trouble with Jin.

"it is good."

"Please give me some time, old monk."

"Please also ask the glazed Buddha statue to come down from the window sill."

"In case of a collision, the old monk will not give 30 taels of gold in exchange."

30 taels of gold, like a bitter pill, made the skinny mage lose his former kind-faced and peaceful look, and his face looked like suffering.

But for the glass Buddha statue.

I can only swallow this bitter pill.

Master Kushou knew in his heart that if he didn't buy this glazed Buddha statue at this time, the temple behind him and the entire Buddhist family would probably be unable to withstand the pressure from the outside and the forces that peeked at this glazed Buddha statue.

Even within the Buddhist sect, various factions secretly have different intentions and want to use other methods to obtain this glazed Buddha statue before other Buddhist sects.

There was no time for him to waste any more.

"It's not worth it."

"If you had promised earlier, you wouldn't have meditated and chanted sutras in front of my Liulic Pavilion for three days. You wouldn't have used today's 30 taels of gold. Maybe you wouldn't have even used the 20 taels of gold."

"You bought this glazed Buddha statue on the first day, and it only cost 15 taels of gold at most."

Li Huaian smiled when he saw that the skinny master had agreed to the price of 30 taels of gold. Under the gaze of the skinny master, he carefully moved the glazed Buddha statue from the window sill to the table and placed it there.

The movement was extremely gentle, for fear of bumping a little and causing him to lose 30 taels of gold.

The skinny mage waited until the glass Buddha statue was placed, and his anxious heart was relieved, before he responded.

"The old monk never thought that you are a person whose eyes are fascinated by gold. You only care about money and don't care about morality or Buddhism at all."

"Such an uneducated person."

"If this old monk had been young, I would have removed your karma for my Buddha long ago."

When Li Huaian heard this, he smiled and said, "What if money can communicate with gods?"

Don't wait for the skinny mage to speak.

Pointing to the rosary in the skinny mage's hand.

"In view of what you, an old monk, said just now, now I plan to add another item to the 30 taels of gold in exchange for this glazed Buddha statue." "I want this rosary in your hand."

The skinny mage twirled the rosary in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then took the rosary from his hand and presented it to Li Huaian.

"I have followed the old monk for more than 20 years with this rosary. I hope you can hold the old monk's rosary and be infected with compassion and not be disturbed by external objects."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Got a nice string of beads.

Li Huaian would naturally follow the skinny mage.

You must know that the rosary beads in your hand are not the hand-held beads held by ordinary monks. This rosary is very long, probably with more than 1000 beads.

When the skinny mage left Liuli Pavilion empty-handed, he went to raise 30 taels of gold.

Li Ruoqiu, who had been waiting for news outside, quickly opened the door and walked into the box to check if Li Huaian was injured, fearing that there would be a conflict between Lang Jun and the mage.

Until it was confirmed that Li Huaian was fine.

Only then did I ask.

"Lang Jun, the slave family saw that the mage left with a kind face, but have they reached an agreement with the mage?"

"Ah."

Li Huaian patted the glazed Buddha statue placed on the table.

"The master is very reasonable and plans to use 30 taels of gold to take this glazed Buddha statue away."

"30 taels of gold?"

Li Ruoqiu was shocked.

Even though in Chang'an City, this glazed Buddha statue had been sold for more than 50 taels of gold, it didn't surprise her at all.

After all, the 50 taels of gold from the outside world are virtual.

And the 30 taels of gold that Lang Jun said was true.

until now.

During this period, except for the skinny mage who had just left, no one else came to Liuli Pavilion to ask about Liuli Buddha.

"of course."

Li Huaian nodded and gave instructions at the same time.

"From now on, this glazed Buddha statue will be sealed up until the master brings gold to exchange for this glazed Buddha statue."

"Okay, I'll give you the orders now."

Li Huaian nodded and did not care about whether the place where the glazed Buddha statue was sealed was safe. Anyway, he would secretly put the glazed Buddha statue into the system's private warehouse afterwards.

Therefore, it doesn't matter how Li Ruoqiu seals it.

Remove the glazed Buddha statue from the box and place it properly.

Li Ruoqiu turned to the box again, took out a name card, and handed it to Li Huaian.

"Lang Jun."

"During the conversation between Lang Jun and the Master just now, the housekeeper of Cui Yulangjun's house sent an invitation written by Cui Langjun himself. Cui Langjun wanted to invite Langjun to go to Chang'an City Ding after [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. Went to the Fragrant House for a banquet.”

After hearing this, Li Huaian took the invitation, opened it and looked at it.

"Cui Yu invited me to Dingxiang Tower, not to drink flower wine?"

"Is something wrong?"

"It's so formal, so I'd better send someone to deliver the invitation."

Dingxiang Building.

It is the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City.

It is also a favorite restaurant among the dignitaries in Chang'an City. The owner behind it is very mysterious.

"Brother Li."

"Brother Cui."

Dingxiang Tower is located in the largest private room on the third floor.

This private room had been booked by Cui Yu a long time ago in order to meet Li Huaian today.

"Brother Li, sit down quickly."

Cui Yu warmly invited Li Huaian to sit down, and then gave instructions to the waiter waiting in the box.

"Go down and let people serve food and drinks."

"Yes, sir."

After Xiao Er left.

Cui Yucai came to sit next to Li Huaian.

Li Huaian waited for Cui Yu to sit down before asking.

"Brother Cui, what's the purpose of inviting me to Dingxiang House today? It's better to go to Pingkangfang for a drink and have a meal at Dingxiang House. There's no need to spend so much money."

There was really nothing to eat during the Tang Dynasty.

for him.

If he came out not to drink flower wine, but just to eat Tang Dynasty's food and wine, he might as well stay in his mansion and let the maidservant who was the cook in the mansion cook some food for him.

in ancient times.

eat out.

By the Song Dynasty, it was almost the same.

"Brother Li wants to drink flower wine. I'll invite him later."

"Remember, I also promised to treat Brother Li to drink wine, right?"

"Besides, the jewelry that Brother Li gave to my wife when his Liulic Pavilion opened, I can treat them to flowers and wine as many times as I want."

Cui Yu smiled.

Li Huaian heard this and pointed it out.

"It seems that something really happened when you came to me today."

Hear this.

Cui Yu remained silent until the food and wine were served and the waiter closed the door of the box again before speaking quietly.

"Brother Li, does he know which surname I come from?"

"Your name is Cui Yu. Does it come from the surname Yu?"

Li Huaian had some doubts and asked carefully what his last name was.

Cui Yu smiled at Li Huaian's teasing answer without refuting, and went on to introduce her surname.

"This Cui of mine comes from the Cui family of Qinghe. Our Cui family of Qinghe belongs to the top few among the great families of the Tang Dynasty."

"In addition to our Qinghe Cui family, there are six other families alongside my Qinghe Cui family."

"The Boling Cui family..."

"My wife is a noble daughter from the Bolingcui family."

After listening, Li Huaian admitted.

"Five surnames and seven hopes."

"I know that."

"So, Brother Cui is a descendant of a noble family. He is born noble. I'm afraid he is a bit more expensive than the royal family of the Tang Dynasty."

"Brother Cui has a good destiny."

"It will be reincarnated."

Cui Yu nodded and did not deny anything Li Huaian said just now. He did not even deny that his background was a little more noble than that of the Tang Dynasty royal family.

Because in his heart, he believed that the Cui family of Qinghe was indeed more noble than the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a natural understanding coming from a wealthy family.

otherwise.

The seven families would not still refuse the marriage proposal of the current saint even though they have a legitimate daughter to marry.

"But what does today's banquet have to do with Brother Cui's last name?"

Li Huaian asked.

Cui Yu did not answer directly, but asked.

"Brother Li's Liulic Pavilion has become very famous in Chang'an City during this period. It has stirred up a lot of troubles and has the Buddhist family in its grasp."

Li Huaian heard this and said clearly: "It seems that Brother Cui's Qinghe Cui family has taken a fancy to my Liuli Pavilion and has come to let Brother Cui act as a lobbyist."

"Yes."

When Cui Yu saw that Li Huaian had made his choice, he no longer hesitated and said directly: "Brother Li, to be exact, it's not just my Qinghe Cui family, but the entire five surnames and seven families, a total of seven families."

"For that, I had to come."

"Brother Li, I'm really sorry."

Done.

Cui Yu seemed to exhale a breath of turbidity.

Li Huaian looked at Cui Yu, who had apologetic eyes, and nodded.

"can."

"what?"
