Chapter 17 Xuanmen Fu Master
Guan Xuxu left the Song family villa area and did not return to the Jiang family. Instead, she took a taxi to the house she had rented before.
It was an 80-square-meter two-bedroom, one-living room house that Guan Xuxu rented two years ago.
The living room was separated by a screen and was Hu Piaoliang's activity area. There was a small tent in the corner with all kinds of toys piled up inside.
There was also a master bedroom and a study room. There were two long tables in the study room. One side was used to place various carving materials and tools, and the other side was used for yellow paper, cinnabar, and various ancient books and instruments. The two sides were clearly divided and had different styles.
Guan Xuxu stepped forward and simply packed a few things.
She didn't bring any luggage when she went to the Jiang family, and she had used up all the amulets on her. Since she wanted to exchange Yizhi for Song Yuli, she had to prepare in advance.
As he was putting it away, the phone beside him suddenly rang. Guan Xuxu glanced at it and saw that the caller ID was [Master of Qingfeng Temple]. After thinking for a while, he answered the call.
On the other end of the phone, there was the voice of an old man.
"Friend Guan, have you thought about what I asked you before? You are a guest lecturer at the Taoist College in Jingshi. Don't you want to apply to Peking University? Peking University and the Taoist College have a cooperation. Even if your scores are not enough, you can be directly admitted. But I think it is a waste of time for you to go to university. Being a guest lecturer at the Taoist College for two years means you are an honorary tutor, which is equivalent to a master's degree..."
The old man talked earnestly, and Guan Xuxu didn't mind his nagging. She listened with the other ear and then said,
"My scores should be enough."
Guan Xuxu said, "But I haven't decided whether to go to Jingshi or stay in Haishi." She
wanted to apply to Peking University before because she wanted to stay away from the Guan family, but now that she has left the Guan family, she doesn't really want to leave Haishi.
When the old man heard that she wanted to stay in Haishi, he forgot about persuading her to go to Jingshi Taoist College before, and said with a smile,
"Haishi is good. Haishi has outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I have some influence over Haida University. Then I will reject the Taoist College for you. By the way, little friend Guan, would you consider coming directly to my Qingfeng Temple? With your qualifications..."
Seeing that the old man was still talking, Guan Xuxu simply refused, "No, I want to go to college."
The old man on the other end of the phone sighed with some regret, but quickly continued, "The amulets in the temple are all used up. When will you send some more? It's still the old rule, three thousand each..."
When Guan Xuxu heard the word "business", his face became more energetic. He looked down at the stock in his drawer and nodded, "Okay, I'll send twenty over first."
Twenty pieces means sixty thousand.
After donating half, she can still keep 30,000.
If she wants to pay off the alimony owed to the Guan family, selling talismans alone is obviously not enough.
...
Guan Xuxu is a talisman master.
There are five arts in Xuanmen, namely mountain, medicine, destiny, physiognomy, and carrots.
Talisman is one of the arts in the mountain school, and it is also the most mysterious and difficult to master in Xuanmen.
Although Guan Xuxu has dabbled in all five arts, she is best at and focuses on talismans.
In addition to special talismans, general talismans are written on yellow talisman paper. Drawing talismans is the most basic in talisman art. In addition to these, there are also engraved talismans, such as the jade plate she gave to Chu Beihe, and the empty talisman drawing. The effort devoted to the latter two is also incomparable.
Spreading out the yellow paper and cinnabar on the table, Guan Xuxu picked up the brush and concentrated his energy, then put down the brush, and the brush moved like a dragon and snake, and finished it in one stroke. At the end, a little light could be seen from the tip of the brush, and then a peace amulet was considered a complete amulet. Guan
Xuxu finished drawing twenty pieces in one breath, and it took no more than fifteen minutes. After
drawing the amulet for Qingfeng Temple, she thought of her brother and father's protection of her, thought for a while, took out another piece of raw stone with excellent color, and began to carve the amulet.
After staying in the rental house for the whole afternoon, until it was getting dark, Guan Xuxu packed up everything and took Hu Piaoliang back to the Jiang family in a taxi.
After entering the door and going upstairs, Guan Xuxu had just opened the room and was about to go in and put the things down, when suddenly, a small figure ran towards her.
Turning around, she saw her six-year-old cousin Jiang Ying suddenly running to the door before her. She stretched out her hand and pushed her with an angry look on her face. She pushed and shouted,
"This is my room, you are not allowed to enter my room!!"
Guan Xuxu was stunned and glanced behind Jiang Ying. It was indeed her room.
At this moment, Yao Lin hurried over and saw Jiang Ying's actions. She whispered, "Yingying, don't be so rude. Why don't you apologize to your cousin?"
Jiang Ying ignored her and pointed at the room behind her. She yelled at Yao Lin,
"Mom, you clearly said that this room was for me! Why did you let her move in? You don't keep your word! I don't care! This is my room!"
Jiang Ying yelled so loudly that Jiang Su and the other brothers who were originally in the room came out and happened to hear Jiang Ying's words.
Guan Xuxu didn't understand when he heard that.
Why did the second aunt prepare another room at the beginning?
It turned out that she wanted to leave this dreamy princess room for her daughter.
Yao Lin was also embarrassed at this time. She never expected her daughter to say it directly. She could only explain with a wry smile,
"No... because Yingying likes that room. I didn't know Xuxu would come back before, so I coaxed her..."
"Whether Xuxu comes back or not, that's her room."
Jiang Huai's voice suddenly came from the other side of the corridor. Obviously, he also heard the noise just now.
His face was always gentle and warm, but his peach blossom eyes were slightly cold when they swept across.
Looking at Yao Lin, he asked indifferently, "Don't you know it, Second Aunt?"
Not to mention that Xuxu has been adopted into the family, even if Xuxu is not there, no one is allowed to occupy that room.
Yao Lin's face froze, her red lips stammered, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Jiang Han from the second room saw that his eldest brother was somewhat dissatisfied with his mother's attitude, and stepped forward and said, "Brother Huai, my mother didn't do it on purpose. It's just a room, and the style of that room is originally prepared for children. If Yingying likes it, can't she give it to her?"
As he spoke, his eyes vaguely swept over Guan Xuxu who was standing beside him, and said in dissatisfaction, "After all, you are an adult, are you still competing with a child for a room?"
This was said as if she was the one who was competing for the room.
Guan Xuxu raised her eyebrows slightly.
She doesn't like to argue with people, but if someone cues her, she won't pretend not to hear it.
"You mean, because she is young, she likes me so she should give up the room. If I don't, then I'm stealing from her?"
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Han said as if it was a matter of course. Guan Xuxu understood
, "Then let's put it this way. I like the painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in the National Museum. If you can convince the museum to give the painting to me, then I'll give her the room. How about that?"
She said as she spread her hands and emphasized expressionlessly, "After all, I'm young. I just want a national treasure."
