ps: It’s the third update, please support me, thank you!!!

"Well……"

Seeing Ge Bao's reaction fiercely, Boss Pang Da was stunned and quickly explained: "Brother Ge, don't get me wrong. [, I'm not doubting the authenticity of the painting, but I just want to ask for advice on the origin of your painting."

"No origin." Ge Bao's face cleared a little, and he said slowly: "This painting was given to me by someone else..."

Pang Da suddenly felt a toothache, and he knew that Ge Bao was not telling the truth. How could such precious things be given to others casually? If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to bear it.

"Why are you asking so much?" Ge Bao rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, I can be sure that the origin of this painting is legitimate and there will be no problems. If you want to buy it, buy it, forget it if you don't."

"Buy, of course." Boss Pang Da insisted on the railway and hesitated a little: "But this painting is a bit damaged, which also affects its price..."

"Then you can reduce it appropriately." Ge Bao was very reasonable: "I can also give in."

"good……"

Boss Pang Da was waiting for this sentence. He first looked back at Old Sun. After seeing Old Sun nodding slightly, he calmed down and hurriedly walked to sit with Ge Bao, whispering to discuss the price.

After some negotiation, the two reached an agreement to complete the deal at a sky-high price of 15 million!

This is because the painting has defects, otherwise the price will be higher.

After a while, Boss Pang Da successfully transferred the money, and this picture of Xu Wenlong ink and wash grapes belonged to him.

"Congratulations to Boss Pang for getting what he wants."

Under Ge Bao's hint, Qi Xiang smiled and congratulated her for a few words, then said goodbye: "I still have some things to do, so I will leave first and visit you someday."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Boss Pang Da smiled and said politely: "Brother Qi. I'll hold a painting appreciation party in two days, you must come."

"If you have time, you must go and disturb me." Qi Xiang smiled, exchanged a few more greetings before greeting Ge Bao, who had a somewhat impatient expression, left Xuzhai and returned to his manor.

The road car, Ge Bao's spirit and joyful appearance made Qi Xiang fully realize that money is really a good thing. Even monks like Ge Bao also like it.

Qi Xiang sighed silently and suddenly said, "You cut off the incomplete part of the painting?"

"Well……"

Ge Bao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously retorted: "What are you talking nonsense?"

"You know whether I've been talking nonsense."

Qi Xiang said casually: "Didn't you hear Boss Pang say that I am a calligraphy and painting appraiser? You can judge the length of the repair from the traces left by calligraphy and painting repair."

"I can be sure that the painting will not take longer than a month."

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Even if you consciously make old when repairing, the old made is different from the old natural ones."

"You're scaring me?" Ge Bao's eyes showed suspicion: "The master of calligraphy and painting appreciation didn't see it. Did you see it instead?"

"Why are you scaring?" Qi Xiang said angrily: "Don't forget that Mr. Sun is just an ordinary person, and I... do you think with my ability, you can't penetrate the drawing paper and understand the mystery in the painting?"

"...This is true!" Ge Bao curled his lips. He thought for a while before saying, "Forget it. He wanted to delay it, but seeing that you are so anxious, you should just be open and honest. When you come back to your house, let's have a good talk."

"OK."

Qi Xiang concentrated on driving and soon returned to the manor.

When entering the door, Ge Bao suddenly said, "Your bird is pretty good."

"Hmm?" Qi Xiang glanced back, his eyes a little alert.

"Don't look at me like this." Ge Bao said indifferently: "As soon as I came this morning, the bird stared at me. Seeing that I climbed up the wall, the bird was about to pounce on me..."

"I'm not blind, and I've seen the action you stopped."

Ge Bao said with interest: "It can be seen that the bird is still wild, and you have just tamed it for a while. Alas, in this environment, the chances of encountering such spiritual wild birds and beasts are becoming increasingly rare."

"Where did you meet, can you tell me? Looking back, I'll try my luck."

Ge was a little envious. After all, in this era, monks can't even take care of themselves, so there are no extra resources to raise and cultivate spiritual birds and strange beasts.

Unlike in ancient times, powerful monks often followed one or two rare birds and beasts. They were not only pets, but also guardians and good helpers in battle.

When fighting with people, you don’t have to take action by yourself. The pets around you will directly solve the problem.

That majestic, that proud...

When Ge Bao thought about it, he felt his heart beat faster.

At this time, the two walked to the hall, and Qi Xiang casually said, "In Tianmu Mountain, you can go and look for it slowly."

"Tianmu Mountain... seems very wide." Ge couldn't give up and asked again: "Is there any specific location?"

"Let's be the middle section of Tianmu Mountain." Qi Xiang thought for a while and suggested: "Anyway, the farther away from the city, the better. You should search between some low-court and cliffs, or find it."

“…I’ll talk about it when I’m free.”

Ge Bao's enthusiasm was reduced by half: "I'm very busy now and I don't have this time."

"What are you busy with?" Qi Xiang asked with the flow.

"Tu tuk!"

Ge Bao sat down and knocked his fingers on the table, as if he was talking. Qi Xiang did not urge him, but just waited quietly. He believed that Ge Bao came to the door and must have something to ask for. He had the initiative in this matter and did not need to be anxious.

"Qi Xiang, do you know how to teach the talisman?" Ge Bao suddenly asked.

"Give the talisman?" Qi Xiang was stunned and said in surprise: "Why do you ask this? Of course I don't understand, and I don't have the qualifications."

Although Qi Xiang was studying the way of talismans, he knew very well that there was a big difference between talismans and talismans.

In the eyes of Taoism, talismans should be regarded as "the characters of the gods", which resemble seal characters, also known as cloud seal characters, jade characters, alchemy scripts, and divine talismans. To put it bluntly, the so-called painting talismans are used by the instructions of the gods to suppress demons and suppress evil, cure diseases and seek blessings.

As for the talisman, the original meaning is a simplified meaning, which is a record.

There are two categories of talismans. One is the list of those who worship the Taoist, which records the names, Taoist names, Taoist ranks and Taoist ranks given by the Taoist priests; the other is the list of talismans and the titles and functions of the officials of the heavenly officials, namely the "Catal God List".

In the concept of Taoist believers, only by knowing the Dharma Talisman can we summon gods and generals, eliminate demons and suppress evil. Therefore, only by receiving the Dharma Talisman can we be famous as the heavenly chief and have the Taoist priesthood.

Only with the Taoist priesthood and the seals and rituals in the fasting ceremony can one be worshipped in the heavenly court and protected by the gods. Then one will practice for a lifetime, be extraordinary and transcendent. Once he becomes a monk, he can ascend to immortality with his talisman and be awarded immortality, and be exempted from the suffering of hell in the underworld.

In a popular way, the so-called talisman is equivalent to a combination of an ID card and a pass. With this certificate, it means that you and the gods and Buddhas in heaven are family.

If you have any problems, these family members will definitely help you and make you worry-free.

Therefore, in ancient times, whether it was a noble or a commoner, they were keen on giving talismans. There was a period when Taoist talismans were similar to the indulgences of Western religions. As long as you could afford money, anyone could ask for it and no one would refuse.

During that period, the Taoist talisman had deteriorated and became a tool for making money.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor felt that this was not possible, so he simply formulated strict management regulations, allowing only the Dragon and Tiger Master Tianshi Mansion to be qualified to grant talismans. All Taoist priests could no longer grant talismans privately, and violators would be prosecuted.

This regulation has been passed down to the modern times and has not changed. Even the procedures for licensing have become more and more detailed, and it is very troublesome to go through various approval and review training.

That's why Qi Xiang said that he doesn't understand and does not have the qualifications.

"Don't pretend to be stupid."

However, Ge Bao stared at him and said angrily: "What I said is not the Taoist talisman that can be taught after review by the Bureau of Religious Affairs, but the Taoist talisman that can summon ghosts and gods."

"Isn't it the same?" Qi Xiang smiled and said, "The literal explanations of Taoist talismans and Dharma talismans are almost the same."

"Absolutely?" Ge Bao sneered: "Then are the talismans you draw the same as the paper talismans sold on the street?"

"cough!"

Qi Xiang took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The same, it's all talismans!"

"……brazen."

Ge Bao was so angry that he should have a thick face or shamelessness to equate the two talismans.

If the talisman paper printed mechanically is all talismans that can communicate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, who in the world can work hard to practice? Just open a printing factory. You can open a full-time printing and print hundreds of millions of pieces every day, and use them all on yourself. Are you afraid that you will not become an immortal?

"...you don't talk nonsense."

Ge Bao calmed down and said seriously: "I'm talking about serious things."

"So too."

Qi Xiang put down the teacup and said seriously: "Although I can draw a few talismans, it does not mean that I can teach the talismans. You should be very clear that although some functions of spiritual talismans and magic talismans overlap, in essence, they are two completely different systems. I know how to draw talismans, but it does not mean that I can teach the talismans."

"That's true..."

Ge Bao pondered for a while and hesitated: "But the words and talismans should be in the same way. If I give you a ready-made talisman, can you draw another one according to the gourd?"

Qi Xiang was stunned, surprised, and puzzled: "You have something ready and you still ask me to draw it. Wouldn't that be an unnecessary move?"

"I'm the map..." Ge Bao rolled his eyes and said, "Like the golden book simplified by Pai Gang, it is a model of inheritance and cannot be used directly."

"No wonder." Qi Xiang suddenly realized.

"Stop talking nonsense, give me the truth, can you draw?" Ge Bao asked, a little anxious.

“…It’s hard to say!”

Qi Xiang thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "I didn't try or practice, I was not sure."

This is also true, and then it was Ge Bao's turn to hesitate.

The map of the magic talisman is not a secret to cultivation that has become rampant. For Xuan Xiu, there are always pictures like this that are calculated and are very rare.
