Early in the morning, Liu Mu and Yu Wanran walked into an antique shop, Yu Wanran pretended to be an attendant and followed behind Liu Mu, the shopkeeper rushed out to greet him, "What kind of antique calligraphy and painting does this young master want to buy?"

Liu Mu looked at Erlang sitting on the chair with his legs, Yu Wanran hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Liu Mu, Liu Mu smiled and thought, this shrew looks quite like her.Liu Mu said, "My grandmother devotes herself to worshiping Buddha. I want to find a high-quality Buddha statue or Guanyin to celebrate my grandmother's birthday."

The shopkeeper pointed to a Jade Buddha on the shelf and said, "My lord, what do you think of this one?"

Liu Mu shook his head and said, "The carving of this Jade Buddha is not bad, but the quality of this jade is not good enough."

The shopkeeper pointed to another Jade Avalokitesvara and said, "This is made by the best craftsman in the town, imitating the Jade Avalokitesvara from Huguo Temple."

"The counterfeit is a counterfeit after all. Although the shape is roughly the same, it is not as good as the real one after all. You can see that the demeanor is too different."

"My lord, what do you think of this statue?"

"This one...not to mention, this white marble still has flaws, and the carving is mediocre, not top-notch."

"My lord, this one should be fine. It was made by a court carver during the Emperor Taizu's time, and the jade is also of the highest quality."

"It's still a little bit worse. Boss, your goods are too ordinary. What old antiques are there? If you put some of this kind of junk in the shop, you will destroy your own brand."

The shopkeeper's face was a little displeased, "I see that you are clearly here to find fault. If you don't believe me, go to the town and look for it. Which ancient Buddha jade is better than mine! If there is really one that can compare with my white jade Maitreya Buddha, then Only the Emerald Avalokitesvara in Huguo Temple!"

Liu Mu said, "Then why don't you buy the Jade Guanyin from Huguo Temple to the store?"

"You think I don't want to, but he won't sell that old bald donkey of Faneng. How many times have I told him about it, and the price has been doubled again and again, but he just doesn't agree."

Liu Mu asked, "What do you think the jade Guanyin is worth?"

"The minimum is worth this amount!" The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and gestured for a number.

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Why don't we make a deal, and I'll sell you the Jade Avalokitesvara!"

"Boy, are you here to entertain me, aren't you?" The shopkeeper's eyes rounded angrily, and he rolled up his sleeves as if calling for a buddy to clean Liumu out of the house.

Liu Mu hurriedly said, "Calm down, I'm serious! If you really like the Emerald Guanyin, everyone is a businessman, and I will naturally help you make this deal."

"Boy, don't tease me. You are around to find out who I am. If you tie up with me, you won't get any benefits."

Liu Mu took a sip of tea, and said with a calm smile, "The strong dragon is no match for the local snake. I, a foreigner, would not dare to tie up with you, who is doing underground business. If I am not sure, I would not dare to come here easily." Talking big to you."

The shopkeeper smiled, "Seeing that you are not very old, are you also an expert? If you can get me that jade Guanyin, I will give you twice the price!"

Liu Mu gave Yu Wanran a wink, Yu Wanran raised the baggage in her hand and said, "The things you want are here, but this is not the place to see the goods."

The shopkeeper looked suspiciously at the bundle in Yu Wanran's hand, "Okay, let's discuss it inside."

"Sure enough, it's the Emerald Avalokitesvara from Huguo Temple!" The shopkeeper looked at Liu Mu with admiration, and even changed his address, "I don't know Mount Tai, so I don't know what to call this boss?"

"My...my surname is Yin!" Liu Mu knew that such shady transactions generally cannot reveal his true identity. If one day things fell into the hands of the government, he would be easily implicated, so he said his mother's surname out.

The shopkeeper clasped his fists and said, "Sure enough, he is a fearsome young man. Boss Yin has such abilities at such a young age. I really admire him! I hope Boss Yin will not be offended by how much his words just offended."

Liu Mu took the money, and before leaving, he brought the imitation of the jade Guanyin in the shop back to Huguo Temple.

After returning to Huguo Temple, Yu Wanran took the fake Jade Guanyin to Faneng's meditation room.Liu Mu happened to see Hui Hai when he was walking towards Kasyapa.Seeing this, Liu Mu hurriedly pretended to have just woken up, "Brother Hui Hai, I don't want to get up late today, after I have breakfast, we will go to Chan Master Fa Neng's room to clean."

Hui Hai said, "I knew you might get up late today, so I've already cleaned it for you. You should have a good rest today."

Liu Mu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Have you cleaned Chan Master Faneng's room?"

"Yeah. Is there something wrong?"

Liu Mu pretended to be calm, and said, "It's nothing, thank you very much. If I had known this, I would have slept a little longer."

Lucky Liu Mu, it seems that Huihai has not noticed that the jade Guanyin is missing.Suddenly I heard Hui Hai say, "Oops! Let me tell you why I felt that Master Fa Neng's uncle's meditation room looked a little different this morning. The emerald Avalokitesvara seems to have disappeared! Last night, I heard Hui Jing and Hui Ming say that they seemed to hear the Dharma when they were patrolling the night." There was a noise in Master Neng’s uncle’s room, could it be that there was a thief last night? I’m going to the Arhat Hall to report this.”

Liu Mu hurriedly stopped Huihai, "Then how could the big one Guanyin say that it is gone? Maybe you read it wrong, why don't we go and see again, if it is really gone, then tell Luohantang or report to the official." Not too late."

Liu Mu tried his best to delay the time, for fear that Yu Wanran would not put back the fake Emerald Guanyin.

When the two came to Faneng's meditation room, Liu Mu took a long breath of relief when he saw the emerald Avalokitesvara, and said, "You see that you are making such a fuss, it must be because you have been too tired for the past two days, so your eyes are dazzled. I just said that it is so big. A Bodhisattva will not be gone if it’s gone.”

Hui Hai smiled embarrassedly, "I made a big fuss. If I recklessly told Master Jie Chen of Luohan Hall, I would definitely be scolded again."

Liu Mu picked up the rag, wiped the jadeite Guanyin, and said, "I haven't wiped it for a day, and there is so much dust." As he spoke, he pretended to accidentally push the Guanyin statue down, and it fell into several pieces immediately.

Liu Mu originally wanted Yu Wanran to accompany him to act as a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and delivered the money to the nearby farmers' homes at night, but thinking of the experience of the previous night, Liu Mu was afraid of being beaten by Yu Wanran again, so he decided to ask Zeng Qing for help .

"Zeng Qing!" Seeing that the door of Zeng Qing's room was open, Liu Mu walked in without knocking.

"You have something to do with me." Zeng Qing hadn't paid any attention to Liu Mu since the chance meeting in the pool in the back mountain that night.

Liu Mu said, "You have ignored me for the past two days, is it because of what happened that night?"

Zeng Qing snorted, "Why should I talk to you?"

"But there is no reason to ignore me. Didn't we agree that even if I know your identity, you are still my good brother."

Zeng Qing raised her head abruptly, frowned and said, "Dead wood! I don't want to be good brothers with you now!"

Liu Mu smiled suddenly, "I see! You want to marry my sister, don't worry, even if you like women, I won't laugh at you." I thought to myself that I'm married to a woman, what's the big deal, "No matter what Whether you will be my brother-in-law or my sister-in-law in the future, I will be your good brother."

Yu Wanran happened to pass by the door at this matter, and almost laughed out loud when she heard the conversation between the two.I thought to myself, it seems that Liu Mu already knew Zeng Qing's identity.

Zeng Qing frowned and said, "Did you come here just to tell me this?"

Liu Mu smiled and said, "Of course not. In fact, I need your help with something."

"Let's listen and see how this girl is feeling."

Liu Mu told Zeng Qing the truth, Zeng Qing was shocked, "You sold the jade..."

Liu Mu hurriedly covered Zeng Qing's mouth, "Keep your voice down! Now only the two of us and Yulin know about this matter. If others find out, I will be miserable, and maybe I will be imprisoned."

Zeng Qing nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Liu, I won't tell you."

Liu Mu smiled and said, "That means you agreed to take me to give money to the villagers at night, Brother Zeng!"

Hearing these three words, Brother Zeng, Zeng Qing felt furious, and stepped on Liu Mu's foot angrily, "Depends on your mood!" Then he pushed Liu Mu out of the room and closed the door with a bang.

Liu Mu limped and stood outside the window, "Brother Zeng, then I'll take it as if you promised me!"

Zeng Qing didn't answer Liu Mu, but closed the window angrily.Seeing this scene, Yu Wanran also felt strange, Liu Mu was a well-known romantic man in Jinling, how could he not understand what Zeng Qing said just now.Could it be that he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, or did he have other intentions?

Liu Mu went back to her room, sat on the stool, rubbed her feet and sighed, "Zeng Qing has always been so well-behaved, is she going to become a shrew like Yu Wanran! What's wrong with learning, I have to learn that shrew's bad temper ! Could it be that this thing is contagious?"

"You think I'm not gentle enough?"

Liu Mu heard the voice, turned around and saw Yu Wanran had stepped into the door, looking down at him.

"Ah...of course not...you are gentle and virtuous, well-educated, you can go up to the hall, go down to the kitchen, you are majestic, you have a tiger head and a tiger brain, a tiger back, a tiger and a tiger, you are tall and mighty, you are high above the mountains and rivers, you are superior to others..." Liu Mu stammered. "All the four-character words I can think of are here!"

Yu Wanran wanted to laugh at Liu Mu's cobbled together idioms, but she still asked blankly, "Then how do I compare with Zeng Qing?"

"Of course it's Zeng..." Liu Mu hurriedly withdrew his words, and smiled flatteringly, "Of course Zeng Qing can't compare with you! Zeng Qing is a man, men and women are different, how can she compare with you."

Yu Wanran smiled and said, "The Zeng Qing in front of you is a man, so there must be a woman you like more in your heart."

"The woman I like more..." Liu Mu lowered his head and thought deeply, thinking deeply.Who do I like better?When Zeng Qing was in Jin'an Temple, she also asked me if there was anyone I liked. At that time, I thought of Ziyan. Does this mean that Ziyan is my favorite?

Yu Wanran saw that Liu Mu was lost in thought, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Liu Mu came back to her senses, "I'm not sure if I like her..."

"Who?" Yu Wanran blurted out, and immediately felt that her tone was too eager.

Liu Mu paused, but still didn't say Zi Yan's name, "It doesn't matter who it is, I know you don't care who the person I like is."

"I..." Yu Wanran was taken aback for a moment, then instantly recovered her previous indifference, and said, "That's right, I don't care who you like."
