Chapter 239 The Powerful Jade Carving Master [Asking for Monthly Votes]

"Brother Li, the villagers are all discussing your lottery. What's going on?"

After leaving Longwang Village, as soon as Li Yu returned to the B&B, Wu Song hurriedly came over with his mobile phone in hand. Everyone was frantically forwarding the scratch-off video, and Wang Shaojun even added fuel to the fire with his personal statement.

The guy then used Li Yu's coin to get 500 yuan. He happily put the coin into his pocket on the spot and wanted to take it home immediately and put it on the table as an offering.

Other people in the village immediately bought up all the scratch-off tickets in the supermarket. Although some people scratched out the 100-yuan grand prize, most people's work was in vain.

Are you so crazy? Li Yu said with a smile:

"I went to pay homage to the Lucky Cat in the afternoon, and I was so lucky that I made up for all the prizes I had missed in the past."

When I was in school, I played scratch-off games with the mentality of getting rich overnight, but in the end I lost all my living expenses. The originally carefree life of a single aristocrat turned out to be even more miserable than those of men in love.

Today I am finally proud and proud that I have made back all the money I lost that year.

"When is Yide planning to hold the wedding?"

After chatting about scratch-off games, Li Yu asked about the arrangements of Qilin Village.

It stands to reason that after getting the Di Ji, he should hurry up and hold the wedding while the iron is hot, but Zhang Fei is not in a hurry... The Song Dynasty does not check the age of the household registration, so why should he hesitate?

Wu Song turned on the computer in the study, pulled out a chair and sat down:

"He plans to follow Uncle Liu to meet the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl. If he can come back alive, he will get married. If there is an accident, he will ask his younger brother to bring Zhao Fujin to the real world and let her live a good life here."

An accident?

Even if he is Tathagata's uncle, there won't be any surprises.

But it’s okay to calm down a little first. Anyway, Zhao Fujin also has work to do in Qilin Village. Zhang Fei will leave for Erxian Mountain in Jizhou soon and hold the wedding after finishing his work.

Li Yu explained:

"When you go to Jizhou, remember to look for Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and Shi Qian. Shi Xiu and Shi Qian are both excellent spies. If you are willing to come to Qilin Village, give them a chance."

Needless to say, Shi Qian was at the forefront of inquiring about information from beginning to end.

Shi Xiu also had a series of highlight moments. For example, during the third raid on Zhujiazhuang, he pretended to be a firewood seller and quietly figured out the distribution of traps and safe routes in Zhujiazhuang, making great contributions to Liangshan.

When rescuing Lu Junyi, he was even more courageous and resourceful. He scared off the officers and soldiers with the words "All the heroes of Liangshan are here" and rescued Lu Junyi single-handedly. Unfortunately, he did not know the roads of Damingfu, so he turned left and right with Lu Junyi, and was finally blocked in a traffic jam. In a dead end.

If you can pull Shi Xiu over, show him the map first to avoid getting lost again.

Wu Song cupped his fists and agreed:

"My little brother will relay it to Uncle Liu Huang and Junior Brother Yue Fei."

On this trip to Jizhou, Wu Song will not go. Another administrator, Xiao Yuefei, will go with Liu Guanzhang to gain more knowledge. Yan Qing, who is good at all kinds of slang, will also accompany him throughout the trip.

The five people in the group are all masters, and with Lingshan watching over them, there is a high probability that there will be no accidents.

As long as we can get Zhenren Luo's help, this trip will be worth it.

Although the Earth Immortal may not necessarily take action, his apprentice Gongsun Sheng will join Qilin Village. Gongsun Sheng's future disciple Fan Rui, as well as masters such as Mr. Jin Jian Li Zhu, can be roped in in advance.

As a novel about gods and demons, the elements of gods and demons in "Water Margin" are second only to "Journey to the West" among classical novels, and many officials in it are good at doing it.

For example, Gao Lian, the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture, who almost killed Xiao Xuanfeng Chai Jin, was so powerful that he single-handedly killed the Liangshan army and retreated one after another. In the end, it was Gongsun Sheng who came out of the mountain to turn the situation around.

Thinking of this, Li Yu reminded:

"You can drop by Cangzhou to see Chai Jin and let Xuande talk to him."

This is the big financier of the Water Margin world. With so much money, instead of taking advantage of Liang Shanbo, it would be better for Qilin Village to take action in advance.

Chai Jin has been suppressed in Liangshan and has no room to develop. In fact, he needs to have brains and means.

During the rescue operation of Lu Junyi, he used money to bribe Cai Qingshi with kindness and power, and in a few words he got Cai Qingshi to join the Liangshan camp.

When conquering Fangla, he directly broke into the enemy camp, was recruited by Fangla as his consort, and successfully entered the core circle of Fangla's forces.

In the end, he retired after success, resigned from office, and became one of the few people in Liangshan who died a good death.

Before he falls into the quagmire of Liangshan, give him a chance. If he can seize it, he will earn the merit of following the dragon. If he can't seize it, forget it.

If I give you a chance, you will be useless. Hua Qiang looked at it and shook his head.

Wu Song agreed and talked about Yue Fei's plan:

"Junior Brother Yue plans to go to Zengtou City when he comes back to meet Senior Brother Shi Wengong."

Every time something happened in Qilin Village, Shi Wengong would send someone to deliver gifts. Now that he was passing by nearby, he would pay a visit out of necessity.

Moreover, Zengtou City is an important hub for horse smuggling. Only by establishing a good relationship there can we buy a steady stream of war horses.

The opponents in the future will all be foreigners who are good at riding and shooting. They cannot do without a horse with super mobility.

After the heated discussion, the two of them started playing games.

Wu Song has been obsessed with shooting games recently, and he shoots a few shots when he has time. However, he likes to move forward too much, and he gets blinded when he encounters infiltration levels. He either fails to break through the level, or the infiltration battle turns into an encounter.

Li Yu likes to show off his technical skills and often tries to pass the game in one life. He wants to be as timid as possible in the game, focusing on an immersive fear of death.

The two were playing when the mobile phone next to them rang.

Li Yu paused the game and picked it up. He saw that it was a WeChat voice chat invitation from Zhou Ruotong. He returned to the room and chose to answer it.

"Did I interrupt your game?"

Hearing Professor Zhou's gentle voice, Li Yu subconsciously raised his head and looked around, and then asked:

"Did you install a camera in my room?"

I'm going to install a camera and I will definitely find out all your secrets... At home in Beijing, Zhou Ruotong was lying on the bed in his pajamas, playing with Crayon Shin-chan in his hand:

"Xiaochan told me that I could hear the sound of games coming from far away in the study."

Good guy, you have developed an informant in the B&B, right... Li Yu looked at the calendar and found that tomorrow was the birthday of Mr. Zhou, so he said a lot of blessings.

"Grandpa really likes the jade you gave me. He even put a thick carpet in the collection room. My dad and the others can only appreciate it through the glass cover."

Mentioning the piece of jade, Zhou Ruotong's face was full of smiles.

Thank you, you bastard. Grandpa now praises everyone he has received for receiving the best birthday gift. He has not been so happy for several years.

Li Yu laughed twice:

"I actually have other jade items here. If the old man likes them, he can sell them."

What? besides!

Zhou Ruotong sat up suddenly. The more he understood, the more mysteries he had about this guy.

It's a great opportunity to get a jade of this level. He actually still has it in his hand. Tell me, are you Doraemon?

Li Yu turned over in bed. Although he now had more than 10 million in his account, there was still a huge funding gap compared to the project construction in the book world.

It would be great if we could increase the funds in our hands through the Zhou family.

Except for the jade seals and the jade Buddha inlaid with gold, which are not for sale, all the jade items in the vault can be exchanged for money.

Well, in game terms, the Jade Seal and the Gold-Inlaid Jade Buddha are both mission items that trigger subsequent plots and cannot be sold.

Especially the Imperial Seal, which is a secret weapon comparable to a nuclear bomb. Let alone sell it, it cannot even be shown to others.

However, genuine products cannot be taken out, and fake ones are still possible.

Some time ago, Li Yu found several jade carving masters on the Internet to prepare for imitation, but found that it was very difficult to communicate. They always wanted to play as they pleased, modifying details and so on. As a result, Li Yu still has not found a suitable imitation master.

I don’t know if our kind-hearted Professor Zhou has the resources in this area, so I just asked in a casual way. If there is a suitable candidate, wouldn’t it save trouble?

Thinking of this, Li Yu asked:

"Professor Zhou, do you know a more powerful jade carving master?"

Why is the topic of stinky guy jumping around... Zhou Ruotong was still in shock from the previous sentence, but he didn't expect Li Yu to directly change the topic.

She calmed down:

"I know you, do you need anything?"

"I want to imitate something that is more precious... Please tell me first how powerful that person is. I have found several people but they are not good enough."

Zhou Ruotong said truthfully:

"The young master who has won many awards for his jade carving works is also an expert in the restoration of cultural relics in the Forbidden City. His whole family is engaged in restoration of cultural relics... The cat statue on Longqi Mountain was carved by him."

Li Yu is already immune to titles. After all, he also has a lot of titles now, the kind that can choke people to death if he says them in one breath.

But the Lucky Cat was created by this person, which is a bit interesting.

I just visited Longqi Mountain today, and I was deeply impressed by the statue of the Good Luck Cat. The innocent look and the vivid intelligence in the eyes are something that ordinary jade carving masters cannot do.

In professional terms, it is very rare to carve out the charm and soul of a lucky cat.

Since he is the master who carved the good-luck cat, there is no one else but him!

After confirming the candidate, Li Yu asked:

"If I give you a photo and dimensions, can you engrave it accordingly?"

Ask first, and then send the photo of the Imperial Seal after confirming it. If Professor Zhou wants to ask, just pretend to be dead or make a fool of yourself.

She is so kind, she can't really hang me up for interrogation, can she?

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Ruotong said:

"As long as the details of the photo are in place, there will be no problem. However, the master is on vacation recently and has not taken any jobs, so you may have to wait."

Not taking the job?

Li Yu was discouraged as soon as he heard this. It seemed that he could not sit in the study for the time being and experience the feeling of holding a jade seal and going to court to pretend to be an emperor.

"When does he have time?"

"I'm not sure. My best friend asked him to carve nine super large jade tripods last year. The master was busy for a year to finish it. He can finally take a break recently. He doesn't take any jobs. He said he would vomit when he sees jade. .”

Nine jade tripods?

Is this the plan to restore the Chinese Jiuding?

But Jiuding is a bronze ware. It is useless to buy a bunch of jades. These rich people are really arty. I wonder if one day they will make a small jade coffin for fun.

After silently complaining, Li Yu said:

"Please help me make an appointment. The sooner the better. Money is not a problem. I can even pay with cultural relics."

Since it can't be done now, let's wait. Anyway, there is no need to return the Imperial Seal for the time being, and you can still stay in the B&B for a while.

Zhou Ruotong agreed and asked curiously:

"What are you planning to carve? Is it very difficult?"

"It's just a small object close to a square shape. The overall design is not difficult. The difficulty is that the degree of restoration must be high enough so that the sculptor cannot add his own ideas."

Li Yu didn't say any more, and Zhou Ruotong was considerate and didn't ask any questions. The two chatted for a while, and Li Yu asked in a nonchalant manner where the birthday banquet would be tomorrow.

When he learned that it was a new store of Linji Food and ordered two roasted whole lambs, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

I was looking forward to learning how to roast whole lamb today, but I didn’t expect Professor Zhou to eat it tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, he went to the study to play games for a while before going back to the room to wash up and sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Yu went for a run, fed the horses, and had breakfast. He wanted to meet the shaved Zhao Dahu, but the guy didn't come for breakfast.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m shy or because I went on a date so early in the morning.

Spring is really here... Li Yu took a bowl and drank the barley porridge, which is said to be able to remove dampness, and ate pancake rolls. This method of combining carbohydrates with carbohydrates will be a bit uncomfortable at first, but after a few bites, you will feel better. Found it, it smells so good!

Even Diao Chan, who was talking about losing weight, couldn't stop eating.

After the meal, Li Yu drove to buy groceries, while Diao Chan rode her bicycle, planning to use the supermarket shopping card given by Li Yu to do some shopping.

Although Sun Liansheng's supermarket is not big, it has a full range of products, including hygienic washing, non-staple food, vegetables, etc.

Considering that there were no suitable clothes hangers in Qilin Village, Diao Chan bought a lot of them for Zhao Fujin, and also selected a bunch of pots, pans and other daily necessities.

Anyway, I bought everything I could buy. After I finished shopping, I found that there were too many things, so I had to ask Sun Liansheng to drive to the B&B.

"Let brother Erlang take these things over and download some cooking videos to Zhao Fujin. She can try to learn to cook there."

I really hope that everyone is well and enjoying life without any worries... The little girl put all the items into the luggage bag according to different categories. While she was busy, Li Yu came back from shopping for groceries.

"I asked you to go to the supermarket to spend money, and you bought a bunch of daily necessities?"

Li Yu checked it over and found that everything was quite complete. Once he put it in the house, he could live his life directly.

But this girl only thought about others and didn't buy anything for herself.

"I won't need it for the time being. If you need it, just buy it directly. I can't buy it over there. I have to try my best to help Zhao Fujin prepare everything."

You are truly a qualified housekeeper!

Li Yu helped her put the bags in the storage room. Just as he was about to ask about the girl's study status, he saw Qin Qiong, who had not been here for a long time, appear in the backyard.

He led the yellow gelding to the stable in a familiar manner, poured in the feed and added water, and the whole process was completed in one go.

Ever since he tasted the benefits of high-protein feed, Qin Qiong would bring the yellow gelding over after it was finished, so that it could stay here for recuperation and slow down its aging process.

Li Yu walked over and asked with a smile:

"Second brother has arrived in Licheng?"

"Yes, we're in Licheng. Brother Shan has built the family's mansion into a magnificent place. I almost thought I went to the wrong door. I don't know how he is doing lately."

"It's good. I have become Mr. Guan's deputy. I train with the troops every day and compete with everyone in martial arts. I am very busy."

Now everyone in Qilin Village performs their duties, and the only two leaders are Guan Yu and Shan Xiongxin. This is not only an affirmation of his ability, but also a kind of training.

Start learning from the basics and get exposed to the military. When Qilin Village develops and grows, Shan Xiongxin's ability to lead troops will also make great progress.

In the original work of "Xing Tang Zhuan", he had no such opportunity at all, so after reading this novel, Liu Bei planned to cultivate Shan Xiongxin more.

Qin Qiong took out a letter from his arms and handed it over:

"Brother Xie Yingdeng sent a letter from Huanghua Mountain. The jade whisk gave him and Xie Xuan a lot of inspiration, which made both of them make progress in their cultivation of immortality. But Xie Yingdeng still has many questions, so Write a letter to ask my wise brother for advice."

Ask me for advice?

If I were to reach this level, I wouldn't be the master of Laoshizi Bed and Breakfast. Why not become the master of the stars?

But for problems we can’t solve, we can turn to metaphysics.

Li Yu took the letter and went to the study while chatting with Qin Qiong.

Opening the letter, he read it carefully.

As usual, they all used polite greetings and expressed their gratitude to Li Xianchang. Then the conversation changed and he asked a bunch of mysterious and professional questions, which made Li Yu confused.

Good guy, I was going to use this kind of words to prevaricate you, but who knew that your question was even more mysterious and blocked my way in advance.

After reading it, Li Yu felt his head was buzzing.

Damn it, is this what immortal cultivators usually think about?

But it’s much more difficult than Marxism and the like, so it’s no wonder that not everyone is destined to be immortal.

He originally wanted to take the letter to his mother-in-law, who would definitely be able to answer it easily with her skills, but considering her level, it was no different from asking a world-class mathematician to ask kindergarten arithmetic problems, so he might as well find someone else.

Thinking that Liu Guanzhang was going to Erxian Mountain to find Zhenren Luo, Li Yu thought that he could ask Yue Fei to pass this letter over and let Zhenren Luo answer it.

The whisk belongs to Luo Zhenren, so if I have any after-sales problems, I naturally have to go to him to solve them.

I just don’t know whether this kind of communication across time and space will affect Xie Yingden’s work as a worker in heaven.

Li Yu said:

"Trust me and I'll get back to you in a while. The time hasn't come yet."

Damn it, how come when it comes to matters related to cultivating immortals, I, who grew up under the red flag, suddenly become a stickler?

Qin Qiong quite understands:

"Cultivation as an immortal depends on chance. You can wait a little longer. There is no rush."

He asked with concern about the current situation of each world. When he heard that Zhang Fei had successfully abducted Di Ji, he slapped his thigh with joy:

"Yide is really a role model for our generation. When will he get married? Brother Yu is going to give him a big gift!"

"We will get married after meeting Jiutian Xuannv. I will notify you in advance and we will also set up a table here to celebrate."

"That's right. It's a pity that we can't drink the wedding wine in person, otherwise Brother Yu will definitely have a few more drinks."

When Qin Qiong heard about the changes in the world of the Three Kingdoms, Qin Qiong was worried about the little emperor, and wished he could go there to help, otherwise he would have to play a role in killing Dong Zhuo.

While chatting, Li Yu said:

"Yesterday Guiying brought a gunpowder expert from Muke Village to Qilin Village. Do you still have contact with Li Shimin now? Why don't you send someone there as well?"

Qin Qiong shook his head:

"Licheng is a long way from Taiyuan. Brother Yu has been traveling recently. There is indeed no news about Li Er. Let's do this. When I go back later, I will ask Fan Hu to go to Taiyuan to look for Li Shimin and see where he is recently. How far has it developed?"

This is good. After getting in touch, you can decide when to send people to the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The secrets of all worlds have been disrupted. It is time for the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties to unshackle and relax!
