Chapter 301 Cai Gui's Situation
The three people booked three rooms first, but the proprietress said that she didn't have many rooms here, there were only two single rooms, and two rooms for three people would do.

After the room was booked, the proprietress asked casually, "Why do you come to our Black Dragon Temple? You don't come here for the treasures of the Black Dragon Temple, do you?"

When Li Mingchao heard this, he immediately became interested: "What? There is still a treasure in the Black Dragon Temple?"

The proprietress was a little surprised: "Don't you know?"

"We're just here to visit a senior, and we don't know the origin of the Black Dragon Temple. Can Eldest Sister tell us about it?" Fang Hao didn't want to have any problems with his itinerary this time, and wanted to know something about the Black Dragon Temple.

The proprietress didn't hide anything, she said everything she knew.

It is said that the Black Dragon Temple was built in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, a scholar escaped from the war and took refuge in the mountains. When he passed a big river, he saw a black snake dying by the river, with scars all over his body.

When the scholar saw the black snake, he was still terrified, but he felt compassion again, and carefully applied the golden sore medicine he had brought to the black snake. Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, the black snake died soon. It entered the water and swam away. Before leaving, it nodded to the scholar.

The scholar was amazed that the black snake was so understanding of humanity, but this was just a small episode on the road, and he continued on the road and arrived here soon.

But he didn't expect that there was actually a group of bandits entrenched here, and they wanted to lure him into the gang. He swore he would die, and the bandits wanted to kill him.

Just as the scholar closed his eyes and was waiting to die, a black dragon suddenly appeared from the sky, and killed all those bandits who had committed many crimes, and the rest were swept away by the black dragon.He also left a lot of gold and silver treasures for the scholar to thank the scholar for his life-saving grace.

The scholar didn't expect that his unintentional actions would bring him such good rewards, so he built a temple for the black dragon. Some people said that the scholar buried a large amount of gold and silver in the temple.

This is the origin of the treasures of the Black Dragon Temple that the proprietress said.

At the end of the hearing, Fang Hao and the others felt that the story was not credible, it was just a story made up by the public chayu restaurant.

Fang Hao asked: "Sister, do you know Master Cai Gui?"

"Master Cai, of course I know him. He and my husband are good friends." The proprietress changed the subject: "Are you here for Master Cai?"

Fang Hao said truthfully: "Yes, we inquired about the Black Dragon Temple just to visit Master Cai."

The proprietress looked at Fang Hao and the others again: "You don't come here because you want to invite Master Cai to paint? He is almost in a state of half-closed pens, and he basically doesn't know how to paint for outsiders. Besides, outsiders who come to visit rashly will also be rejected. of."

"I have an appointment with Master Cai."

After saying this, Fang Hao saw a little doubt in the lady boss's expression: "Sister, what did I say wrong?"

The proprietress hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Master Cai has been feeling unwell for the past few days and has been recuperating."

Fang Hao suddenly realized that the proprietress thought he was lying. The reason why he came to visit Cai Gui was not a secret, so he told the proprietress what happened, and then said: "Sister, can you contact Master Cai, if he is really inconvenient , then I will visit next time."

Fang Hao's explanation answered the proprietress' question, she said with a smile: "Okay, I will let my husband contact Master Cai."

After finishing speaking, she took out her mobile phone and made a call. After half a ring, the call was over, and she said to Fang Hao: "My husband, please wait here for a while, he will be here in a while."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

The three sat down on the sofa, and the proprietress poured water for them.

Fang Hao took a sip of hot water, and his stomach became much warmer. He raised his head and asked, "Sister, I just heard from you that several people have come to inquire about the Black Dragon Temple in the past few days. Are they here for Master Cai?" Come?"

The proprietress said: "They just asked me about the situation of the Black Dragon Temple, and they never mentioned Master Cai. It's just that the Black Dragon Temple here is not well-known, and this season is not the peak tourist season, and no one usually goes to the Black Dragon Temple. , so I find it strange."

What the proprietress said was indeed a bit abnormal. Fang Hao felt that these people probably came for Cai Gui, and he didn't know what happened to Cai Gui, so many people came to him.

Ma Hongfei said: "Anyway, I'm going to see Master Cai, just ask him if he's right."

Fang Hao smiled, and now that he is guessing, he might as well ask himself.

After a while, the owner of the homestay came in a hurry. He looked like a tall man, but whether it was his attire or temperament, he could tell that he was related to art.

The lady proprietress introduced the two parties, Fang Hao got up and shook hands with the owner of the hotel, and was polite.

The boss said: "I just contacted Master Cai, and he said that you are very welcome, but it's a little late to go there now. I will take you there tomorrow morning."

Fang Hao said there was no problem and thanked the boss for his help.

Next, everyone sat and drank tea. Taking advantage of this time, Fang Hao also learned something about Cai Gui's character and situation from the boss.

The boss told Fang Hao that Cai Gui used to be from a poor family, and sometimes he couldn’t even eat well. As a result, he was malnourished since he was a child, and his health was not very good. Although he made money and took care of himself for a period of time, his ex-wife ran away with money. However, it still caused him a lot of physical and mental damage.

Therefore, after Cai Gui became a monk in the Black Dragon Temple, at first he would get sick every now and then, but later he gradually adapted to the current life, and his health improved a bit, but he still had some minor ailments every winter.

This year is still the same, and it is more serious than before. A few days ago, Cai Gui went to the hospital for an examination and said that his body is actually full of holes, in a state of exhaustion, and his life is about to enter the countdown. Rest at the foot of the mountain to recuperate and live for a while longer.

But Cai Gui just disagreed and went back to the Black Dragon Temple to recuperate.

The owner of the homestay sighed: "In fact, his ex-wife went abroad with the money, which hurt him very much. He was already disheartened at that time. Later, after he became a monk, he saw through the world. He often told me that life is so happy. There is no need to die, just let nature take its course."

Fang Hao can see this point from Cai Gui's works.

Li Mingchao said: "Recently, people have been inquiring about the Black Dragon Temple. Could it be because they know about Master Cai and want to get ideas for his works?"

A little anger rose on the owner's face: "You're right, those people are all here for Master Cai's works, and they want to be the first to grab his works after Master Cai's death. These people are simply looking for money I went, and I didn’t even care about some basic manners!”

Fang Hao shook his head secretly, these people are indeed annoying, they have such an idea before they leave, as if wishing that Cai Gui would die soon.If you want to make money, you need to use some strategies and know what to do and what not to do. This kind of behavior, if you think about it, you will know that it will be difficult to achieve your wish in the end.

In fact, some things are like this, and everyone knows the truth, but when you go deep into the game, when your mind heats up, some common sense can't be imagined.

　Happy holidays everyone!
