After going down the mountain, the full-level boss made his fortune by fortune-telling

Chapter 16 Millennium Ebony
Li Qizhi took her to a nearby restaurant at noon.

"Here it is, I want to eat this."

Li Xuanwei pointed to the signboard of a hamburger restaurant, his eyes fixed on the attractive hamburger on the poster.

"But third uncle sent me a message this morning, saying that you can't eat these fast food."

Li Xuan frowned slightly.

"I'll just eat a little, it's okay."

Li Qizhi was dubious.

"Third uncle said, eating this is not good for your health, let's change to another one, how about the Japanese food?"

In the end, Li Xuanwei still didn't eat the hamburger.

But fortunately, the Japanese food tastes good, especially the sweet and sour eel rice, Li Xuanwei ate two servings in one go.

It's nice to be in a big city, there are so many good things that Li Xuanwei has never eaten or even seen in his life.

After eating, looking at the stylishly dressed young people outside, and then looking at the delicious food in front of him, Li Xuanwei slowly closed his eyes, muttering something silently.

"Wei Wei, what are you doing?"

"Silently recite the mantra of purifying the mind."

"Why recite that silently?"

"Remind me to be pure-hearted and ascetic as possible, and focus on cultivating the Tao."

Li Qizhi smiled helplessly as she watched her younger sister return to a calm and calm look.

"Then what do Wei Wei want to do in the future?"

"Go back to the Taoist temple and continue to practice."

"What is the purpose of practicing?"

"In order to pursue selflessness, to pursue the Dao."

Li Qizhi was thoughtful.

"My brother is a layman. I want to make more money in the future, and then let my parents, and you, live the life I want to live."

"Why do you want to make a lot of money for others?"

"Because you are my family, it's not right to let my family live well."

What's the point of this?
Li Xuanwei didn't understand.

What Master taught her since she was a child is to let everything go with the flow, as long as she pursues her own freedom and freedom.

On this trip down the mountain, Li Xuanwei discovered that people always want to change their established destiny and fight against nature.

What is the point of doing this?
Li Qizhi didn't let her continue thinking.

"Okay, little Taoist priest, do you want to go shopping by yourself, or do you want to go back to the studio with me?"

"Let's go back."

In the evening, when the family was having dinner, Li Liang knocked on the door and came in. With a happy face, he rushed to Li Xuanwei.

"Wei Wei, come here, Third Uncle has something to tell you."

Li Xuanwei put down his chopsticks and walked to the balcony. Before he could speak, Li Liang handed her a bank card.

"Here, this is your reward, and the password is the day you go home."

Li Xuanwei took the card and looked at it carefully.

"Sold?"

"Of course! As soon as I took it out, I was bought by two bosses at a high price! Here is your reward, you take it."

Li Xuan nodded slightly and looked up at him.

"Since it can be sold, I can make a few more."

"Don't worry, to whet their appetites, you can make one today, and I'll send you jade when I want it later."

Hearing this, Li Xuanwei sighed softly.

It's not a stable job yet.

So she still has to keep looking for a job.

Li Xuanwei, who is used to living in the mountains with several hundred a month, accepts Master's thought of poverty all the year round.

So in her eyes, the big brother next door with a monthly income of [-] is already a high-income group.

Therefore, when she saw the balance in the card that Li Liang gave her, Li Xuan rubbed her eyes slightly, and leaned forward to count the string of numbers carefully.

"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... 20."

20……

Li Xuanwei stood in front of the cash machine in silence for a long time. After confirming the number on the card again, he took out [-] cash from it without hesitation, and used the rest to repay the loan.

With the money, she went to the jade market that Li Liang had brought her to before, but this time she didn't go to see the jade, but walked all the way to the row of shops at the end, and walked into a shop after shopping around. Old wood shop.

The boss is an old man with gray hair, and he is stepping on a stool to clean the wooden products on the shelves.

"What do you want to buy, little girl?"

"Let me consider."

Li Xuanwei's eyes carefully scanned the row of wooden signs in front of her, and finally she pointed to a dark wooden block and asked the boss.

"How much does this cost?"

The old man glanced at the block, then at Li Xuanwei.

"fifty thousand."

Li Xuanwei reached out and touched his blue cloth bag, looked at it carefully for a while and asked again.

"Can I touch it?"

"sure."

Seeing Li Xuanwei holding it in his hands and weighing it, the old man couldn't help but glance at her again.

The little girl had a fair and clean face, a thin and small figure, and was wearing a plain blue gown, standing there quietly. Her unremarkable temperament matched inexplicably with this old-fashioned ancient wood shop.

"This is a thousand-year-old ebony, taken from an ancient tree that was 1000 years old, and buried in an underground river for more than [-] years. I am the only one in Qiulin City."

Li Xuanwei didn't speak, just nodded, his beautiful eyes never left the naturally formed snake pattern of ebony from the beginning to the end.

"Boss, can it be cheaper?"

"Little girl, do you know what ebony is for?"

"To ward off evil spirits."

"Why buy this?"

"Give it away."

Hearing this, the old man shook his head slowly.

"If you want to give it away, I recommend you to buy these finished woods, all of which are carved and made by me. This piece of ebony is a log without any modification and processing, so it is not the best choice as a gift, and these finished woods are cheaper. Do you want to see it?"

"No, I want this piece of ebony, please help me wrap it, old man."

The old man nodded, and slowly took out a mahogany box from the drawer, carefully wrapped the piece of ebony with red cloth, and placed it in the ebony box.

"Keep ebony away from light, and try not to get it close to places that are too hot. Everything you buy from me is non-refundable, and the price is also a one-time price."

Passing the box to Li Xuanwei, the old man took out another booklet, put on his glasses and took a pen to record something.

"Card or cash?"

"Swipe your card."

The 5 yuan turned into a piece of wood the size of a palm, but Li Xuanwei spent it without hesitation.

Before leaving, the old man called her to stop.

"Son, you can pick any piece of wood from that row, and it's a gift."

The row of wood in front of me is obviously leftovers from the production of finished products, and most of them are oddly shaped.

Li Xuanwei turned around and scanned around, then reached out and picked up one of them without hesitation.

The old man's eyes followed her movements, and the moment Li Xuanwei made a choice, he took off his glasses.

"Girl, come here, do me a favor, and I'll give you another piece of good wood."

Li Xuanwei leaned forward and watched as the old man took down a long wooden box from the shelf on the other side. After opening it, there were three neatly arranged pieces of mahogany inside.
