Chapter 33: The Dragon Throne
e Iron Gate Inn's master, who backed away in fright!“Chen… Chen sir” The master of Tie Men Guan looked at Chen Ping in surprise.He doesn't understand why this Chi Phoenix is so respectful to Chen Ping..."Come in, both of you!"
Gu Wen Tian nodded slightly at Chen Ping, as a greeting!
In his opinion, a young man in his twenties being called "Mr." by Lin Tianhu must be from a wealthy and influential family. That's why Lin Tianhu respected him so much, not because he was actually capable!
Lin Tianhu and Chen Ping walked into Gu Wentian's courtyard. As soon as they stepped in, Chen Ping felt a wave of rich spiritual energy washing over him. In the courtyard, there were several huge trees with trunks as thick as someone could embrace, blocking out large patches of sunlight!
Continue walking forward, with artificial hills and flowing water, buildings and pavilions, every place exudes a strong ancient charm!
"How old are these trees"
Chen Ping looked at the several big trees and couldn't help but ask.
Because all this rich spiritual energy comes from these ancient trees!
Mr. Chen, these ancient trees have all been here for hundreds of years. It is because of these trees that this ancient courtyard was built here.
”
Lin Tianhu followed Chen Ping's explanation!
Chen Ping nodded slightly, and he understood why this high-ranking official of the provincial government, Gu Wentian, chose to spend his retirement years in this small city of Hongcheng!
This place is abundant in spiritual energy, indeed suitable for retirement. Moreover, living here for a long time and being nourished by the spiritual energy, one's body will become increasingly youthful and vigorous!
After passing 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 century. There was even a dragon throne carved with nine dragons in the center of the hall!
A golden cushion was placed on the dragon throne, it looked like someone sat there often!
Chen Ping looked at the dragon throne, his brow furrowed slightly, his expression becoming somewhat strange!
"Please sit down!"
Gu Wen Tian waved his hand casually, then directly sat down on the dragon throne!
After Lin Tianhu and Chen Ping took their seats, Gu Wentian ordered the servants to pour tea!
"Tiger Lord, one doesn't visit a temple for no reason. If there's anything old man can help with, just say the word!"
Gu Wen knew that Lin Tianhu came here for a reason!
Lin Tianhu glanced at Chen Ping, who then spoke: "We know Old Gu loves collecting things, so we wanted to ask if Old Gu has any spirit pens here. We mean the kind of brushes used by great ancient writers, and also vermilion made from animal blood!"
“A spirit pen” Gu Wenttian frowned slightly, pondering.
"Old, of course we won't take old things for nothing. As long as it's old, the price is whatever you want. I, Lin Tianhu, will never say a word!"
To ease Gu Wentian's worries, Lin Tianhu quickly said.
"What are you talking about, Tiger Lord" Gu Wentian smiled faintly. "If I had some, I would give it to you anyway. What meaning does money have to me"
"Yes, yes, yes, the old man despises money!" Lin Tianhu nodded repeatedly.
"Writing brushes are consumable items, so it's nearly impossible to preserve 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 a thing, perhaps there are more in the Taoist temple than here. After all, these Taoists need to draw talismans and exorcise ghosts, so their brushes may have some spirituality!"
When Gu Wen Tian's words fell, Chen Ping was instantly delighted. He had forgotten about this matter. Those Taoist brushes and cinnabar used for exorcism were definitely imbued with spirituality. He could just go to the Taoist temple himself! Why bother searching all over the antique street
"Thank you for the reminder!" Chen Ping stood 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.
"Well Did you also see the extraordinariness 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 genuine dragon throne, an item from the Ming Dynasty, sat upon by the true Dragon Emperor."
”
Gu Wentian gently stroked the dragon throne beneath him, clearly showing his fondness for it.gh priest began to chant, and soon the wisps of fog coalesced into a humanoid monster."Demons have arrived, everyone is going to die..."The two priests urged the humanoid monstrosity, formed from conc...
