Chapter 191: Taoist Sword

"Meeting Taoist Qingju, it's a blessing to meet a Taoist elder." Jiang Ge quickly bowed.

"Haha, you are an interesting young man. I can bear this gift. I am now one hundred and ten years old. I have never married a wife. I have also cut off the world of mortals. Now I am nothing." Master Qingju laughed loudly, looking extremely free and easy.

.

Jiang Ge was the first person to let him say such a thing. In his opinion, those customers in the past were full of money and did not understand the rules. They only liked this.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be one hundred and ten years old, so I don't want this sword anymore."

Jiang Ge was shocked when he heard that he was 110 years old. He didn't think the other party would make fun of his age, so he immediately felt respect for her.

For a 110-year-old man who has experienced those war-torn times, it is not easy to survive. He asks himself that he cannot do it without marrying a wife and advocating wealth. He is a respectable person.

"That won't work. You said we were destined, so why not give you this sword? It has killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers before, so it can be considered a patriotic sword. You need to treat it well."

At this time, Master Qingju didn't care anymore. He felt that Jiang Ge looked good and a foreign object didn't matter.

"Then thank you, Taoist Priest. I will treat it well."

Jiang Ge stroked the sword, then wrote a check for 300,000 yuan and handed it to Master Qingju, "Master, this is a little bit of my thoughts. Do you think it's enough?"

"Okay, you are really rich, you have 300,000 yuan. I wanted to sell it for 108,000 yuan."

Master Qingju didn't show any pretense, he took the check and kept it, then said, "I live in Wuxia Temple in Pengcheng. If you are interested, you can come and have a look!"

"Definitely, definitely."

Jiang Ge nodded, "Let's do this. I'll buy everything on your stall, and it depends on how much it costs, so as not to waste your time."

"No, I'm here just to see the excitement in the world. It's not good for you to do this." Master Qingju refused directly.

"Well, I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Ge said goodbye and left with the sword. He was very excited. In his opinion, the sword was worth several million. If he was lucky, it might be worth tens of millions, but he did not intend to sell it.

He has been fond of swords since he was a child and thought it would be good to collect them.

"Sir, this old man said he was one hundred and ten years old, but I don't think so. He looks like he is seventy or eighty years old." Qin Qing questioned.

"Taoists all have skills in maintaining themselves. Didn't you see that the eighty-year-old Taoist priest from Mount Emei still performs Qing Gong? This kind of person cannot be judged by common sense, and you can tell by checking his identity that he cannot deceive others."

Jiang Ge explained, and then he took the people for a walk on the street, but didn't find anything valuable. Seeing that it was getting late, he had to take the people back.

"Shopkeeper Xu, I have found an apprentice for you. Come and have a look."

Walking to the door of the store, Jiang Ge greeted Shopkeeper Xu inside. After all, he still needed someone to take care of his apprentice, so he had to ask for advice.

"Find me an apprentice?"

Shopkeeper Xu frowned. He was most afraid of the boss making the final decision. It would be troublesome to lead apprentices, and they would learn skills secretly. They are very cautious in this industry and usually do not pass on skills to people who are not close to them.

"Why, Shopkeeper Xu has an objection. I see that your store is a little busy, and I also want to find you an apprentice. I met him on the street. From now on, I will call you master, not me."

"Let's do this. I'll give you an extra one million in annual salary every year, and it will be used as money to train your apprentice. How about that?"

Seeing his attitude, Jiang Ge also acted like a boss. For this kind of thing, it doesn't matter whether the employees are willing or not, it has to be for the sake of the store.

One million sounds like a lot, but it is actually a kind of pressure. If Shopkeeper Xu suppresses his ability and refuses to teach, then he has many ways to get the money back, such as bonuses and dividends.

"Sir, I don't want to learn anymore. I can't waste your money."

When Qin Qing heard that it would cost one million, he was immediately frightened. This amount of money was enough for him to attend several universities, and he was under great pressure.

"It's okay, just study hard and earn it back for me." Jiang Ge was very satisfied with Qin Qing's attitude.

"I wonder when I can earn one million?"

Qin Qing couldn't imagine that Jiang Ge was too kind to her.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu quickly refused, "Boss, I can't take this million. I will take care of you as an apprentice."

How dare he ask for this money? Doesn't this seem like he is too greedy? Although it is troublesome to teach his disciples, his boss is better than him. Maybe he is testing himself. If he doesn't agree, he may be fired after a few days.

Now he is very satisfied with this job, and Jiang Ge treats him well. There is no need to change jobs, so he promised Jiang Ge that he will teach with all his heart.

Jiang Ge didn't try to persuade him anymore and asked Qin Zhan to drive home.

In the next few days, he wandered around major antique markets, firstly to pick up missing items, and secondly because of Yang Feiyun's affairs. However, after a few days of shopping, he collected a lot of things, but he did not find any valuable Taoist antiques.

"Boss, I've been searching for three days and you still haven't found a satisfactory gift?"

Qin Zhan and the others had been following him, so they naturally knew Jiang Ge's purpose and were a little depressed for their boss.

"There is no way. Maybe the Tao family is more reserved and won't trade ordinary things here. It seems that we must ask the Qingju master."

Jiang Ge guessed that Taoist monks didn't like monetary things and rarely sold their treasures. It would be futile to continue looking for them.

So they took Qin Zhan and planned to visit Master Qingju to ask. After asking for a long time, they found out the location of Wuxia Temple. It was on a mountain outside the city and was inaccessible. They parked the car at the foot of the mountain and walked along the mountain road for a long time before they found it.

Jiang Ge was a little surprised when he actually saw the appearance of Wuxia Temple. He thought that Wuxia Temple should be a quite formal Taoist temple no matter how much it was said, but in fact it was not the case.

It is actually in a stone cave halfway up the mountain. It seems to be a man-made area of ​​dozens of square meters. It is extremely crude, but the incense is still lingering around the worship of the Taishang Sanqing.

On the futon in the main hall, Master Qingju was sitting on it with his eyes closed and motionless, seeming to be in some kind of meditation.

"Real person?" Jiang Ge called out, and Master Qingju opened his eyes, seemingly surprised and surprised, "You are really here, distinguished guest, please take a seat."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Jiang Ge quickly replied, but was a little confused, "I didn't expect the Taoist priest to live in a place like this. I almost thought I was wrong."

"Haha, anywhere in the world is home. People who practice Taoism don't attach importance to external things. Don't you think it's very suitable for Taoism to see all the mountains here?"

Master Qingju didn't seem to mind the environment here, explaining, "Actually, I have lived on this mountainside for forty years. I used to live in Taoism without a fixed place. The Four Olds were destroyed decades ago, and the survival of Taoist monks was suppressed.

, being able to survive is already blessed by our ancestors, so why expect too much!"

"The Taoist priest has seen all kinds of things in the world, and the younger generation admires him!"

Hearing the other party's words, Jiang Ge suddenly felt a sense of reverence. He had heard about the superstition of breaking the four olds and eradicating the four olds. It was indeed not easy for the Taoist priest to survive at that time. It was good that he did not go to the labor camp.

"Let's have dinner at my place later at noon. I happened to buy a lot of vegetables with your money. Let's have a vegetarian meal together later." Master Qingju was very happy. He felt that Jiang Ge was a trustworthy person and came here after he said he was here to visit.

.

"I won't bother you, Taoist priest. In fact, I came here to trouble you about something. I recently wanted to buy some Taoist cultural products, but found that I couldn't find anyone to buy them. I came here to ask. I guess you must have your own trading channels."

Why was Jiang Ge so embarrassed to eat? It was already difficult for the Taoist priest to cook alone. How could he do it with a few extra mouths? He quickly stated his purpose.

Hearing this, Master Qingju smiled and said, "You are right, our industry has its own trading channels. There will be a mutual market in two days. At that time, friends from the Buddhist and Taoist families will buy and sell some sect treasures. Address

Just at the foot of Xiling Mountain."

"Oh, it turns out there is a mutual market, thank you for informing me."
