Xianwu: Opening and Hua Xiaolan's Apprenticeship with Shaolin

Lanterns, pen and ink, animal skins, martial arts secrets, weapons, fat powder...

It can be said that it has everything, and it is dazzling!

Many scholars and businessmen came and went in and out of Daxiangguo Temple, and stayed here.

It doesn't look like a temple, it looks like a "commercial center",

Even in the corridors of the temple, there are hawkers setting up stalls.

Zhou Yuan was a little surprised, is this really a Buddhist temple?

Hua Xiaolan was also surprised,

Abbot Sanzang saw the surprise of the two, smiled and said:

"You don't know what you came here for, this Daxiangguo Temple was once the royal temple of the previous dynasty, the Song Dynasty. It was brilliant and famous.

Every day pilgrims cross the threshold, thousands,

Because of the large number of people, it also attracted many vendors, who set up stalls to sell items here.

Over time, it has become the most prosperous commercial center in Kaifeng, Bianjing.

Although the previous dynasties have been destroyed, and the Daxiangguo Temple is no longer a royal temple, its glory is not as good as it used to be, but a lot of fireworks are still preserved.

This is not only a place of Buddhist purity, but also a place of trade for all surnames. "

After listening to Abbot Sanzang's remarks, Zhou Yuan and Hua Xiaolan were both relieved of their doubts.

Among the ancient temples in the world, Daxiangguo Temple should be the most flamboyant.

"The host of Daxiangguo Temple, Master Yuanjue, is my friend. We will place an order for accommodation here."

Abbot Sanzang called a little novice to explain his purpose.

After the little novice passed the message, he led a few people to a secluded meditation room and said:

"There have been many scholars and businessmen staying overnight in the temple, and there is only one vacant room left in the temple.

But the host said, ask the abbot of Sanzang you to live with him and exchange about Buddhism and cultivation. "

Abbot Sanzang could not escape, so he went to see Master Yuanjue,

As for Zhou Yuan and Hua Xiaolan, they could only share a meditation room.

Fortunately, the two were already engaged and grew up together, so the Abbot Sanzang was not worried about the issue of incompatibility between men and women.

Before parting, he still specifically instructed, saying:

"I'll ask the novice to deliver some vegetarian meals in a while. Don't hang out in the temple alone. Although this is a bustling trade center, it's not so safe."

Chapter 16

Although the abbot of Sanzang did not allow the two to hang out,

But with Hua Xiaolan's temperament, she couldn't help but want to go out for a walk.

The bustling trade of Daxiangguo Temple aroused her great curiosity.

Even Zhou Yuan wanted to take a closer look at this commercial center.

After all, this is the first time in the city!

You can take the opportunity to learn more about this immortal world.

After eating the vegetarian meal, Hua Xiaolan took Zhou Yuan and walked around.

The brightly lit night market, shouting and hawking is endless,

There are also hundreds of categories of goods.

"This glazed cup is so beautiful!"

"Rouge gouache looks so delicate."

"Such a beautiful satin, the skirt made of it must be very beautiful."

……

Seeing all kinds of new things, Hua Xiaolan was very excited along the way.

Especially in a weapons shop,

Hua Xiaolan took a fancy to a weapon,

Whip!

"Girl, at first glance you are a martial artist! This python whip is very suitable for you!"

Seeing Hua Xiaolan's expression, the shop owner knew that she liked this thing.

"This is actually made of python skin, how much does it cost?" Hua Xiaolan rubbed it, and some wanted to buy it.

"It's not expensive at all, the stall is about to close, and it only sells fifty taels of silver!"

The shopkeeper stretched out a hand and gestured.

Hearing the three words fifty-two, Hua Xiaolan was taken aback.

One tael of silver is one thousand pennies, which can buy [-] catties of rice, enough for their family to spend a year.

And fifty-two is an astronomical number.

Hua Xiaolan has never seen what fifty-two looks like in her life.

All the money on her body adds up to only ten cents, which is pocket money given by grandma.

"It's too expensive, I don't want it anymore."

Hua Xiaolan resolutely put the python whip back.

The shop owner hurriedly said:

"Girl, you don't know, this python leather whip is made from the skin of a hundred-year-old python, it is a first-class weapon, it is very rare!

If you nurture it every day, within a year, you will be able to give birth to spirituality, transform from a weapon to a spiritual tool, and the price of a spiritual tool will start with a thousand taels of silver!

Therefore, this python whip is definitely worth the price, it is worth the price of fifty taels! "

The shopkeeper was very sloppy and boasted an ordinary python leather whip.

But what he said was true.

The weapons in the rivers and lakes are indeed divided into three, six and nine grades.

The most common is the weapon, which is divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the production process and power effect.

Weapons cultivate spirituality, which can be called spiritual tools. Spiritual tools are relatively rare and often powerful.

This python leather whip is still far from a spiritual tool, and it is not as good as the shop owner bragged about it.

Also, weapons have a limited effect,

For a peerless expert, an ordinary peach tree branch is a weapon of magic.

But for ordinary warriors, even with the legendary fairy weapon, it is difficult to exert their combat effectiveness.

Hua Xiaolan pulled Zhou Yuan and left, her cheeks were still a little red.

She was afraid that the store owner would know that she only had ten pennies on her, and she might be ridiculed.

Zhou Yuan looked at Hua Xiaolan's profile, and suddenly felt charming and cute.

At the same time, he also recognized a serious problem.

"Walking around in the rivers and lakes in the future will be inseparable from money."

As the saying goes, the land of law and wealth is indispensable.

Although Zhou Yuan has martial arts talent and can practice martial arts, but his money is almost zero, and he is destitute.

While wandering around, he also took a fancy to a few items, but unfortunately he didn't have the money to buy them.

"Find a way to make money."

Zhou Yuan remembered that there were nine glass beads on his body, each as large as a pigeon egg, crystal clear.

This thing was made by himself in Huazhai Village when he had nothing to do.

Just looking at this Ming Dynasty, it seems that there are no glass products, and Zhou Yuan made them specially.

However, I have never had the opportunity to come to the metropolis, so I kept it on my body and did not sell it.

Now is an opportunity.

When Zhou Yuan was just wandering around, he found a luxury shop selling glass products.

A glass cup, three hundred taels of silver.

One glass bead, one hundred taels of silver.

It can be said to be very expensive!

After understanding, these glass products are not made locally in Daming, but the goods brought in by Western merchants!

Daming did not have the craft of making glass, so it was all imported from Western merchants.

Rare and expensive, low-cost glass products are sought after by the wealthy and wealthy, and have been fired to sky-high prices.

"These nine glass beads should be sold for at least one thousand taels of silver."

Zhou Yuan estimated,

But this is a world of immortal martial arts, and a thousand taels of silver may still be too little for cultivation.
