Chapter 306 Dragon and Phoenix Pillow
ps: I'll ask for monthly tickets after the third update, and I hope everyone will continue to support it.
"Old man, you are so sincere, why do I have the nerve to refuse?"
At this time, Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Anyway, I have this plan, just consider what to carve the wood into. But the old man said that the pillow is good, so just the pillow."
"The pillow is naturally the best." The old man smiled and said, "No need to move the saw, there is the least amount of waste."
"But, you should have an idea for what kind of pillow you carve into, old man?" Bao Longtu said curiously: "What pattern do you plan to carve on the pillow?"
The old man no longer kept it in hiding, and said with great enthusiasm: "I want to carve a dragon and phoenix pillow!"
"Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Pillow?" Fang Yuan was stunned: "Dragon and Phoenix Pattern?"
"That's right." The old man said with great interest: "I just looked at the texture of the ebony of the golden nanmu and found that some of the textures are similar to dragon scales, and some of the textures are like waves. As long as I carefully carve them, the texture of the golden nanmu itself can form the most exquisite dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern."
"The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious." Bao Longtu blinked and said, "Isn't it a bit cheesy?"
"What is vulgar?" The old man was displeased when he heard this: "This is the most classic pattern. How can auspicious patterns inherited from generation to generation after thousands of years of evolution? "
"Besides, in ancient times, the golden nanmu was a special item for the royal family. You don't think about why the emperor liked to use this kind of wood to make furniture? It's not because it is rare and precious, but because of this kind of golden and crystal-clear wood, full of the magnificent charm loved by the royal nobles."
At this time, the old man taught: "The golden nanmu and the dragon and phoenix pattern are like the peony in the prosperous era. It lasts forever. People from any class like it very much. Who dares to say it is vulgar?"
"It seems to be the same." Bao Longtu thought about it and was immediately convinced: "Traditional things are also relatively pure. Only vulgar can be elegant. As long as the patterns are exquisite and beautiful enough."
"That's of course." The old man said confidently: "Don't worry, this is my sword-sealing work, the last sound. I am more dedicated than you and dare not neglect at all."
"Then please, old man." Fang Yuan did not delay and decided on the matter directly.
"It's easy to say. It's easy to say." The old man smiled and said, "I won't let you down."
When he took out the golden nanmu ebony and handed it to the old man, Bao Longtu also asked casually: "By the way, old man, when will you get the things?"
"If it's fast, half a month. The slowest thing is also a month." The old man said excitedly: "I can't wait now. It seems that when I was young, I was excited and my blood was boiling..."
"Old man, please be more at ease." Bao Longtu smiled and said, "We can understand your mood when you completed your work for the first time. You can be excited, but you must not be as immature as your first carving."
"Haha, don't worry, absolutely not." The old man smiled and said, "I won't talk to you too much. I'm going back and have a good rest now. I'm ready to start construction tomorrow. During this period, I'll live in Quanzhou. You can go and have a look if you have time..."
While speaking, the old man ignored everyone's resoluteness and with the help of Master Chen, he left with the golden nanmu. His appearance was even more anxious than that of the young man.
After seeing off the old man, a group of people happened to go to a dinner with Xiong Mao.
"Master Fang, you are lucky."
In the hotel, Xiong Mao ordered a table of delicious food. During the waiter's serving, he smiled and said, "I have heard of that old man Chen Yidao. He is the only remaining old carving master in Fujian. He has his works in the National Museum."
"So big from this background?" Bao Longtu said astonished: "Isn't that even better than Master Luo Qiu?"
"It's better than Luo Qiu himself." Xiong Mao smiled and said, "It is said that Luo Qiu was studying carving in the provincial capital, and once lived in Mr. Chen's house and studied with him for a while. In other words, although the two did not have the name of master and apprentice, they were the reality of master and apprentice."
"In this way, this is done right." Bao Longtu smiled and said, "I earned a favor for nothing."
"Yes, now he is begging you, not you begging him, so he will naturally earn favors." Xiong Mao envied: "Old Master Chen has many disciples. In the future, you will make wooden furniture or carve something, and beg him to say something, so naturally someone will rush to repay this favor."
"Let's talk about the future later." Fang Yuan smiled, not sure if this favor could come in handy.
"That's right." Bao Longtu nodded and asked, "Boss Xiong's affairs should be done, right?"
"Everything goes well, thanks to Master Fang's help." Xiong Mao sighed: "Otherwise, I will be in trouble. It seems that I will learn from my lessons in the future. Don't help others arrange Feng Shui bureaus and honestly sell my magic tools."
"Why, the matter is really serious?" Not only did Bao Longtu get curious, but Luo Shui and others also listened.
"It's not only serious, it's just a murderous intent and every step is terrifying."
While speaking, when Xiong Mao saw the other people's suspicious expressions, he suddenly became anxious and said solemnly: "If you don't believe it, just ask Master Fang to see if I have exaggerated it."
"To be precise, it's a little exaggerated." Fang Yuan smiled and said, "But this matter is indeed very serious."
"What's the situation?" Bao Longtu asked quickly. He could not believe in Xiong Mao, but still believed in Fang Yuan.
"This matter is a long story..." Xiong Mao explained the whole story clearly as the waiter served the dishes and everyone raised their glasses and chants.
"Oh, I've said it a long time ago, I'll go watch the fun too." Bao Longtu slapped the table, very regretful: "I haven't seen the Feng Shui killing situation."
"Why haven't you seen it before?" Fang Yuan reminded: "Boss Mai, Xiamen..."
"That's different." Bao Longtu shook his head and said, "That's just burying things, not a Feng Shui bureau."
"By the way, where is that sword?" Bao Longtu hurriedly asked: "Have you brought it back?"
"I brought it back and handed it over to Master Lianshan." Fang Yuan explained: "He said that in a few days, it happened to be a thousand-year celebration in a temple in Dehua. At that time, eminent monks gather and a grand ceremony will be held. At that time, it will be the best opportunity to resolve the evil spirits of evil magic weapons."
"Qiannian Temple Celebration!" Bao Longtu's attention changed: "It sounds very lively."
"It's not only lively, but the scene is simply crowded with people, with gongs and drums and firecrackers ringing together, and the whole world celebrates together." Xiong Mao smiled and said, "It's only a thousand years to celebrate. I guess not many people are willing to miss such a grand event."
"We should be able to watch the fun too, right?" Bao Longtu was also a little looking forward to it.
"Of course." Xiong Mao nodded and said, "A celebration like this is a good opportunity to attract believers and unite people's hearts. Religious people will definitely make a big fuss. I hope everyone will know it, so everyone will come to participate."
Facts proved that Xiong Mao was right. In the next week, the matter about the Dehua Temple's Millennium Celebration began in Quanzhou. Whether it was newspapers, media, or television news, it was mentioned more or less.
For a moment, many devout believers stood up and waved flags and shouted, encouraging everyone to attend the grand event.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou was known as the Quannan Buddhist Kingdom, which shows that Buddhism has a strong foundation in the local area. After hearing about this, some people naturally heard about it and performed very positively.
It was in this case that Fang Yuan, Bao Longtu and Luo Shui came to Dehua.
"It's so lively." After arriving in the city, Bao Longtu sighed: "It's still several days before the temple celebration. I thought we were here early enough. Who knew someone would be earlier."
"It's normal." Luo Shui smiled and said, "After all, before the official celebration, there are some activities, which are considered the opening ceremony. In short, the time before and after is added up, and the celebration lasts at least about ten days."
"Tsk tsk, there is a future." Bao Longtu smiled and said, "It is deeply understood the essence of marketing."
"Stop talking nonsense." Fang Yuan looked around and said, "Hurry and help me find out where is the hotel we booked?"
"What's the hurry? All the reservations have been made. Are you still afraid that the room will fly?" Bao Longtu waved his hand, his eyes suddenly widened a little, and then he sighed with emotion: "It's better to be summer, cool!"
"Brother Bao, you're right. It's so hot, it won't get cooler." Luo Shui was a little confused.
"He said the girls on the street were dressed coolly." Fang Yuan glanced at his eyes, couldn't help but shake his head gently, and drove away directly.
"Oh, slower, slower!" Bao Longtu slapped the seat and complained: "Didn't you see it? A beautiful little girl was smiling at me just now."
"You are either dazzled or hallucinated..." Fang Yuan started to mercilessly, and then when the car turned, he saw a hotel standing next to the bustling street, which was exactly their purpose.
"After you, stay for a rest first." Fang Yuan stopped the car and called out: "After lunch, go around. Boss Xiong will come over tomorrow and let him take us to visit the scenic spots in Dehua."
"Okay." The other two had no objection, so they followed Fang Yuan into the hotel.
"Welcome to you, three gentlemen." At the right time, the hotel lobby manager came over and said with an apology: "Sorry, our place is full..."
"We've booked." Fang Yuan said casually: "The surname is Fang, Room 3501."
When the lobby manager heard this, his smile became stronger and hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask the three of you to go to the front desk to go through the formal check-in procedures."
"Yeah." Fang Yuan nodded and was about to walk over, but suddenly someone stood in front of him.
Fang Yuan paused and looked up. He saw a strong man wearing sunglasses and similar to a bodyguard, saying, "Our boss wants the room you have booked, let's offer a price."
