I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 123

"Could it be that Tanyue came here just for the marble Buddha statue in this temple?" Master Du Shun asked.

Li Chengqian nodded.

"I also want to get some marbles to decorate the house." Li Chengqian said.

Master Du Shun said: "This marble is really beautiful, it must be very good as a decoration."

Obviously, the decorations in the two people's mouths don't mean the same thing.

Li Chengqian's decoration is actually made of large pieces of marble stuck on the wall. The entire wall is made of marble.

Master Du Shun thought that Li Chengqian just wanted to decorate the wall with some marbles.

Obviously, the ascetic monks did not understand the thoughts of the local tyrant Li Chengqian.

"If Tanyue is interested, you can follow me to see that Buddha statue." Master Du Shun said.

Li Chengqian sighed, the matter was over, he didn't want to come in vain, he could only go and see.

Not long after, the two came to the place where the marble Buddha statue was enshrined.

I saw that the size of this Buddha statue is less than half of an adult, but it is lifelike.

Its material does give people a feeling of clouds and mist in ink landscape paintings, which is why marble is called cloud stone.

The most wonderful thing is that a cloud-like black pattern is on the face of the Buddha statue.

From the left cheek to Youlian's forehead, passing through the bridge of the nose and right eye, it gives people a sense of power without anger.

This feeling is stronger than that of ordinary Buddha statues.

After reading it, Li Chengqian liked it very much. This is a very good work of art. Maybe it can also exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings. He wants it!

"This Buddha statue..." Li Chengqian asked.

"It was sculpted by the great sculptor Song Fazhi, who was eighteen at the time and full of vigor.

Sitting in front of the stone for three days, and with a plan in mind, it took a month to carve this Buddha statue.

You see, the Buddha's eyes seem to have gods, which is really ingenious! "

Master Du Shun said.

"Okay, okay! It's too dangerous to keep such top grades in your Huayan Temple. What if someone steals them? You should ask them to store them in the palace, so that they are safe.

How about this, I will give you ten thousand guan, you give it to me, I guarantee it will be safe in the palace. "

Li Chengqian said.

Master Du Shun: "???"

"Negative mood value from Dushun, +159"

Although Li Chengqian protected the safety of this Buddha statue one by one, he was drooling when looking at this Buddha statue!
How could Master Du Shun fail to see what Li Chengqian was thinking? He clearly wanted to take this Buddha statue as his own.

"If Tan Yue likes it, he can come here to watch it every day without taking it back.

Buddha statues are most appropriate in temples. "

Master Du Shun said.

"Hey, well, it's a pity..."

Li Chengqian sighed a little. It made him extremely uncomfortable that such a good thing could not be collected.

Master Du Shun was a little disappointed seeing Li Chengqian, he said: "Want to hear the story of the monk who brought back the cloud stone?"

"I don't want to." Li Chengqian said.

Skin it, very happy.

"Negative emotion value from Master Dushun, +145"

Master Du Shun shook his head, he didn't understand Li Chengqian more and more, this son looked really spiritual.

How do you talk and act so naughty?It will not follow the meaning of others at all.

The so-called spirituality is all in a pair of eyes, and most people dare not look at someone with spirituality.

When you look at them, you will feel that you are exposing your thoughts to others. Li Chengqian has such eyes.

Master Du Shun knew very well that Li Chengqian understood what he meant, and Li Chengqian just wanted to fight against him.

"Back then, Fa Yan, a monk in our temple, accidentally got a string of marble beads. He liked it very much, so he made a vow to go to Rongzhou to bring back a piece of marble and carve it into a Buddha statue.

It took him three years to do this. After returning to the monastery, because of the long journey, he fell ill and passed away.

After Song Fazhi learned about this, he sculpted this Buddha statue for us free of charge, with a three-pointed appearance blended into it.

This is the law of fate. "

Master Du Shun said.

Li Chengqian wanted to complain, he made it clear that he didn't want to hear it, but this monk still wanted to talk.

But it's hard to say it when it comes to the mouth. Such a story is really touching.

"If you take a boat from the canal and go all the way to Rongzhou, it should be very simple. I heard you said that he probably walked there. It's normal for such a long distance to get tired." Li Chengqian said.

"Practice practice, of course you have to walk, otherwise, how can it be called practice?" Master Du Shun said.

"In the future, people will not be like this. There will be very convenient means of transportation everywhere. It will not take three years to walk from south to north." Li Chengqian said.

Master Du Shun was a little surprised: "One day? Doesn't that mean you have to fly?"

Li Chengqian was also stunned: "Yes, it's Fei. I didn't expect a monk like you to be so witty."

Master Du Shun: "..."

"Since you don't have what I want, I'll go back first." Li Chengqian said.

"If Tanyue wants marble now, he can go to a merchant in Chang'an. His name is Zheng Fengchi, and he mainly deals in silk. He has a batch of marble shipped from Rongzhou." Master Du Shun said.

"How do you know?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I want to add another marble Buddha statue, but marble is too expensive to afford." Master Du Shun said.

"Thank you, when I get the marble..."

Master Du Shun looked at Li Chengqian.

"I'll invite you to see it." Li Chengqian said.

"Negative mood value from Dushun, +125"

Li Chengqian left.

He can only leave this matter to Lu Zihou. He is also a businessman, so he must be easy to deal with.

When Lu Zihou received the task, he found it very troublesome. He did know Zheng Fengchi.

But this person likes to speculate the most. If he goes looking for it this time, he will definitely be blackmailed.

He didn't understand why Li Chengqian was suddenly so interested in Yunshi. Zheng Fengchi's Yunshi almost fell on his hands.

Zheng Fengchi originally spent a lot of money to transport the marble from Rongzhou, so the selling price couldn't be lower.

It was too expensive, so naturally no one bought it.

As for high officials and dignitaries, they don't seem to be interested in Yunshi either. Yunshi really became popular after the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Zihou thought for a while, this time, he should not be pitted too badly by Zheng Fengchi, after all no one wanted the cloud stone.

There is no way, since he is Li Chengqian's accountant, he has to help Li Chengqian.

He bit the bullet and came to Zheng Fengchi's residence.

"Xiao Lu, why do you come to my place when you have time?" Zheng Fengchi asked.

Also the elder of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Fengchi is much older and older than Lu Zihou.

He can naturally be called Lu Zihou Xiao Lu.

"Old Zheng, I have a good business to find you, you are not anxious to sell that batch of marble.

I have found a buyer for you who is willing to buy your marble at a fair price. "

Lu Zihou said.

Zheng Fengchi smiled slightly.

"I heard that you have been getting very close to the prince recently, the buyer you are talking about is not the prince, is it, Xiao Lu?" Zheng Fengchi said.

Lu Zihou's expression remained calm. This was the most important thing for a businessman. He couldn't show off his flaws.
