Chapter 33: The Dragon Throne
stocratic families who, in order to quickly increase their strength, secretly practice evil arts!What matters to many is not whether one is a cultivator or not, but their own strength, and the desire..."Come in, both of you!"
Gu Wen Tian nodded slightly towards Chen Ping, as a greeting!
In his opinion, a young man in his twenties who could be called "Mister" by Lin Tianhu must come from a wealthy and influential family, which is why Lin Tianhu respected him so much. It wasn't because he had strength!
Lin Tianhu and Chen Ping walked into Gu Wentian's courtyard. As soon as they stepped in, Chen Ping felt a surge of rich spiritual energy. There were several large trees in the courtyard, their trunks as thick as an embrace, blocking out swathes of sunlight!
Keep walking forward, with hills and streams, pavilions and towers, each place exudes a strong ancient fragrance!
"How old are these trees"
Chen Ping looked at the few big trees and couldn't help but ask.
Because this rich spiritual energy comes from these great trees!
"Mr. Chen, these ancient trees have all been here for hundreds of years. It was because of these trees that this ancient courtyard was built here."
Lin Tianhu followed Chen Ping's explanation!
Chen Ping nodded slightly, and he somewhat understood why this high-ranking official from the provincial government, Gu Wentian, chose to retire in this small city of Hongcheng.
This place has abundant spiritual energy, it is indeed suitable for retirement. Moreover, living here for a long time, under the nourishment of spiritual energy, one's body will become increasingly youthful and robust!
After walking through a corridor, Gu Wentian led Lin Tianhu and Chen Ping into the hall. The entire hall was filled with antique furniture, each piece dating back over a hundred years. There was even a dragon chair carved with nine dragons in the center of the hall!
A golden cushion rested on the dragon throne, it seemed like someone sat there quite often!
Chen Ping looked at the Dragon Throne, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression becoming somewhat strange!
"Please sit down!"
Gu Wen Tian waved his hand casually, then sat directly on the dragon chair!
After Lin Tianhu and Chen Ping had seated themselves, Gu Wentian asked the attendants to pour tea!
"Tiger Master, nothing happens for no reason. If there's anything you need help with, just speak!"
Lin Tianhu looked at Chen Ping. Chen Ping spoke, “We know that Lao Gu loves collecting things, so we want to ask if Lao Gu has any spirit pens here. We mean the kind used by ancient great writers, and also vermilion made with animal blood!”
"A spirit pen" Gu Wentian frowned slightly, pondering.
"Ancient, of course we won't take ancient things for nothing. As long as there is something ancient here, the price can be whatever it wants, I, Lin Tianhu, will never argue!"
To prevent Gu Wentian from worrying, Lin Tianhu hurriedly said.
"What are you talking about, Tiger Master" Gu Wentian smiled faintly. "If I had some, I would give it to you guys anyway. What meaning does money have to me"
"Yes, yes, yes, the ancients viewed money as worthless!" Lin Tianhu nodded repeatedly.
“Brushes like that are consumables by nature, so it's almost impossible to keep used ones. As for vermilion made from animal blood, I've never even heard of it.” Gu Wentian shook his head, but then continued, “However, if you want to find such things, perhaps Taoist temples would have more than here, after all these Daoists need brushes to draw talismans and exorcise ghosts. Their brushes might have some spirituality!”
When Gu Wen Tian finished speaking, Chen Ping felt a surge of joy in his heart. He had completely forgotten about this! Those Taoist brushes and cinnabar used for exorcism were definitely imbued with spiritual energy. He could just go to the Taoist temple himself and find them, no need to waste time searching all over the antique street!
"Thank you for the reminder!" Chen Ping got up and bowed to Gu Wentian!
"Haha, you're welcome. It was just a casual remark!"
"Ancient one, I dare ask, from whence came the dragon throne beneath you"
Chen Ping asked.
"How Did you also see the extraordinary nature of this dragon throne" Gu Wentian said with a proud expression: "I spent a lot of money to buy this dragon throne from abroad. This is a real dragon throne, an item from the Ming Dynasty, where a true Son of Heaven once sat."
Gu Wen Tian gently caressed the dragon throne beneath him, clearly showing his fondness for it.Ping struggled twice, but found it useless. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.Chen Ping furrowed his brows, but suddenly his mind cleared, and he seemed to understand.The restrai...
