Chapter 263 Craftsmanship of the Luminous Cup

The old man asked them if they were looking for "Wute", and invited Yu to see the little novice monks.

Seeing that the little novice monks shook their heads one after another, Gui Yu had to say, "We don't know what the specific name is, we only know it is a craftsman of the luminous cup."

"That's right, Ute." The old man looked at Yan Yu and Zimo, and then went to see the little novice monk who followed them.

When the old man saw that these little novice monks were disciples of Mati Temple, he became less wary of Yiyu and Zimo because of his trust in Mati Temple.

He pointed west, "You go west and keep walking, and when you meet a river, you will soon see the shack of Ut."

When the old man saw that Yao Yu and Zimo were dressed in plain clothes and did not look like a wealthy family, he reminded him again, "His luminous cup is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it."

Yao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this. What ordinary people can't afford is definitely very valuable!

After knowing the direction, Yao Yu set off immediately. Along the way, she also asked the little novice monks what kind of person this Ute was.

The little novice monks didn't know much about this craftsman, they only knew that he came to Jiuquan a few years ago. Later, they became famous by making luminous cups.

It is said that the luminous cup he made has a thin wall and a very novel shape, which makes it sound like a golden sound. The reason why the luminous cup is called a luminous cup is because this cup will fluoresce under the moonlight at night, like a night pearl.

The more I listened to the rain, the more itchy I felt. But then I thought of the Jiuquan that only had white water, and I felt a little worried about gains and losses.

She quickly patted her forehead and said to herself, "You are looking for craftsmen to go up to the sacred mountain, not for the luminous cup!"

Zimo heard her muttering and laughed, "If you really like it, just buy a few, so it will look good in the palace in the future."

Yao Yu said with a bitter face, "Jin Yezi gave Wen Ji wine. What should I buy?"

Zi Mo reminded, "Don't you have a seal from the Zhu family? If you take the cup, the craftsman will naturally go to the Zhu family to settle the bill."

Yao Yu's eyes lit up, "Yes. Now that Zhu Yuanyuan is in Qiuchi, I believe Zhu Tancheng won't care about some cups of money with me! This is a great idea! Wait a moment, why didn't you say it when you were in Guangwu City? If you say it earlier, we don't have to just change into old clothes."

Zi Mo's eyes became deeper, "It's too close to the righteous house of Tianshidao. If they knew you had this thing, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not borrow your name to pay the materials in the future. Although Zhu Tancheng would not turn against you because of this thing, he might have a grudge in his heart."

Yao Yu thought for a moment and felt that what Zimo said made sense. Even if Yishe owes too much materials to credit, it may not be nothing to the Zhu family. But if this continues, Zhu Tancheng may not have no grudges.

Yao Yu looked at Zimo and said, "You always think about things more carefully than me."

Zi Mo smiled reluctantly, "This is just that I am more cautious about outsiders than you."

"It's nothing wrong with you like this," said Yao Yu. "In this chaotic world, you can't give up the intention of harming others, let alone the intention of being guarded against others..."

After about two quarters of an hour, they saw Ute's shed workshop by the river outside Jiuquan City.

"Xian Ji, I'm here. Do you want the little monk to go and knock on the door?"

"No," said Yi Yu, "I will come in person."

Yao Yu thought about taking a few more cups to credit later, and of course he had a better attitude.

Yao Yu knocked on the door, and someone inside heard the sound and came out to open the door. As a result, before Yao Yu could see the other person's appearance, Zi Mo had already pulled the quilt behind him and blocked him.

Yao Yu was a little confused. Although it was a good thing to be guarded against others, would Zimo be a little too suspicious?

Yao Yu wanted to poke his head out to see, but Zimo blocked him sideways.

Yao Yu was unhappy, "Zi Mo, what are you doing! How can I see the luminous cup when you are like this!"

Yao Yu reached out and pulled Zimo away, and saw a very tall man standing at the door of the shed.

This man looks different from Han and Hu people. He has deep nose, wide eyes, high cheekbones, dark brown hair, and curly like wool.

Yao Yu and Zi Mo were both tall, but this man was actually a head taller than Zi Mo. He could only bend over in the low shed, and the shadow on his face and the scimitar on his hands made him look extremely aggressive.

Yao Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he understood why Zimo had reacted so much just now.

Yan Yu hurriedly stretched out his hands and showed that he had no intention of hurting the craftsman. "Don't get me wrong, we're just here to see the luminous cup. Oh yes, it's the old man sitting next to Jiuquan who recommended us to come to your place."

When the man heard Yao Yu say the old man next to Jiuquan, he obviously relaxed a little, "Who are you?"

Yao Yu didn't want to reveal his identity, so he pointed to himself, "Taoist." He pointed to the little novice monks, "Monk."

Yao Yu felt that the clothes of the people here were enough to show their identity. Most people still trust monks quite a lot.

Unexpectedly, the tall man reached out and wanted to close the door, "You go. You are not welcome here!"

Yan Yu held the door closed halfway, "The merchants who have never had a smile to welcome people, have they heard of the reason why anyone is going out to drive out customers? You will have to lose money when doing business like this."

The tall man obviously didn't expect that Yan Yu was so strong. After several times of hard work, he said angrily, "My cup is sold out! I don't have a cup for you, go quickly!"

Yao Yu didn't know why this tall man disliked them so much, but obviously he could not impress him with the excuse of buying a luminous cup.

Yao Yu simply asked directly, "Is your name Ute? I want to hire you to take me up the sacred mountain and go all the way to the top of the mountain."

Ute's hand that closed the door hard loosened, "You want to go to the sacred mountain?"

When Yao Yu saw that there was hope, he immediately nodded and said, "That's right. Take me there, I'll give you ten golden leaves."

Ute immediately wanted to close the door again, and Yan Yu immediately raised the price, "Fifty pieces! No, one hundred pieces!"

Ute looked at Yao Yu coldly, "What are you going to the sacred mountain to do? Are you going to die?"

Yao Yu bit his back teeth and squeezed a smile, "You are so good at speaking, how did you do business yet?"

Ute said disdainfully, "The luminous cup I made is unique in the world. If you don't like to listen to me, you can leave now."

Yao Yu raised his eyebrows. This is the legendary unique business. You can ask for a price everywhere! It would be great if you can be so tough.

Invite the rain suppressed his anger and said, "No matter how unique the goods are, someone must sell them to be valuable, right? Otherwise, there is a price but no market, it is just a self-deception. We come with sincerity, you should always invite us in and sit down and chat slowly."

Seeing that the door could not be closed anyway, Ute snorted dissatisfiedly, "You two can come in, they can just wait outside. My room is small and I can't accommodate so many great Buddhas."
