Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Visitor to the World
Lin Yong said helplessly: "I'm sorry, no!" Because it's a crime today. ”
The old man ignored Lin Yong and continued to polish himself: "Since my old man came to Hungry Ghost Road, he has been grinding tools at the entrance of this store every night and night, and the whole street extends to the southeast corner. It's just me, a shop that's more than 400 years old. No one cares about me for 400 years, why is there a ghost suddenly making trouble today, don't you say it's strange? ”
Lin Yong was taken aback, he never expected that such a small shop would have a history of four hundred years: "Big. Lord, there are important people staying in the official residence in a few days, please cooperate with the call, and don't make noise. It's just for a while, and then it won't affect your business. I hope you don't embarrass me. ”
That's big. Ye shook his head disdainfully: "I entered the store, it was full of smoke and dust, and the whole store was dusty, how else could I do business?" Either you're embarrassed, or I'm embarrassed, why can't I embarrass you, but I have to suffer this loss? I'm sorry, this pipe is worth 200 pieces of soul power, and if I don't finish grinding this pipe on time, I will even have to pay for this shop. It's all dead horizontally and vertically, what do you tell me to do? ”
Lin Yong was really in a dilemma after hearing this, in fact, what he said was not wrong, for such a small shop, it is indeed just a matter of picking at the fingernails to earn a piece of soul power, this pipe, he can earn two pieces of soul power, it is already a big profit, but the risk is terrifyingly high. Biting him continues to chase this old man, but how can he do it?
But the superiors have clearly stipulated that they must keep their surroundings quiet, does Lin Yong really have to do it? Lin Yong's face was pale with anger, but he didn't dare to do it directly to the people here, and in the middle of this hesitation, a young man walked in the distance, holding a feather fan in his hand, and shouted at Lao Dou before he came close.
"Hey! Old man, what kind of broken fan are you! Money! ”
The old man put down the grinder in his hand, looked up over there, and turned into a smile: "Xiao Wu, what's the matter, your Lord Huang doesn't like this fan?" ”
The guy named Xiao Wu said arrogantly: "I gave you eighty-five souls, and I made such a broken thing?" Look at the bird above, it's a chicken at all! Dissatisfied! Refund! ”
The old man laughed and said, "Xiao Wu, do you know how difficult it is to make a fan?" First of all, you have to use light sand and mud to make a full twenty-eight black feathers, and then refine the fan handle to keep it cool and heartwarming. The third is to depict the Xuanniao pattern on the silk feathers, and wait for the ink to be colored, and distinguish black and white. The most important thing is to dissolve the soul, the whole eighty-one souls I can all melt into it, this fan will be a breeze blowing on the face, refreshing, fairy bone atmosphere, dignified and simple, it is also a treasure. At the time of setting the fan, the decay has already explained the risk, and it is wishful thinking. When the fan was handed over, Lord Huang was also very satisfied. Why is it that it has been three months since the fan was handed over, and now it is still coming to return the fan? ”
The guy shouted, "I didn't see it clearly! Lord Huang shook it a few times, and felt that it was too cold to use! Besides, Lord Huang said that he wanted to retreat, do you still need a reason? Withdraw the fan! ”
The old man's face darkened: "This ...... Hey, bad luck! Do you think that works? I'll give you back the four pieces of soul power I've earned, and I don't want any fans! ”
The little guy became more and more arrogant: "Then what are we going to do with a fan?" I said return the fan, it must be the fan for you, we want a refund! Do you still want to open a store? ”
The old man gritted his teeth: "Don't hide it from Brother Wu, but my entire net worth is only seventy-three stages of soul power, and you also know that we don't have a lot of money to make utensils, so we can only work hard with our hands." ”
I didn't expect the people here to survive so hard, but Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand forward: "Seventy-three is seventy-three, and the remaining twelve pieces of soul power will be slowly returned with eight points of interest a day!" Take out the ghost pill! ”
When Lin Yong saw this, he couldn't stand it anymore, and walked from his post to the person named Xiao Wu:
"Show me the fan!"
As soon as the hut saw that it was a black feather, he immediately put away the rampant and handed out the fan: "Don't 'break it......"
Lin Yong took it and only felt that the fan was indeed very cold and heart-warming, just holding it, the whole person was refreshed, and there was a white bird carved on the black feather on it, which was lifelike as if it was resting. Fan it slightly, the breeze is not pleasant, it is indeed a treasure.
Lin Yong's palm secretly exerted himself, and handed it back to the little guy: "This fan is indeed a broken fan." ”
Xiao Wu immediately showed off his might: "Look at it! Even the commander said so, what else do you have to quibble! Take the money! ”
The old man glanced at Lin Yong deeply, lowered his head sadly, gritted his teeth and reached into his shirt, took out a few soybean-sized refining ghost pills, and was about to close his eyes and hand them out.
Lin Yong's words changed: "No, I mean, it's obviously twenty-seven feathers, why do you say it's twenty-eight?" ”
"What!!" The old man and the little man shouted in unison.
The little guy hurriedly took it and counted it carefully, and there were really only twenty-seven.
But the old man looked at Lin Yong thoughtfully and was stunned, but did not speak.
Lin Yong took the initiative to say, "Little brother, are you sure Lord Huang said that this fan is too cold?" ”
"yes!"
"That's right, first of all, you have inspected the goods, when you gave it to Lord Huang, it was twenty-eight, but when you got it back, it was twenty-seven, one is missing, do you say it's cool? What do you say, old man? ”
The old man nodded: "Uh...... Be! One less does make a big difference! ”
"You broke the fan yourself, and you came back to return the money, can you also refund the money if you buy a dress that is worn out?"
The little guy held the fan in his hand, and his face was blue and white: "No, it's not right!" Where did you come from, Black Feather, to dare to meddle with Lord Huang's affairs! Don't you know that Lord Huang is the military cao of the East China Sea West Camp? ”
"Of course I do. Do you often meet Lord Chun's subordinates...... Why don't we ask Chang to evaluate it personally? Besides, do you think Lord Huang will think that he broke the fan? This fan should only pass through your hand, right? ”
That little guy was so uncomfortable that he didn't dare to attack, this black feather was a police officer and a soldier in the city, and he was very united, who would dare to disobey? I had to sigh ruthlessly: "You...... You wait! ”
After speaking, he cherished the broken fan in his hand and rolled back with a smoke.
Seeing the little guy walking away, Lin Yong turned his right hand, conjured a piece of feather out of nowhere, and handed it to the old man:
"Big. Master, this thing...... You can do it. ”
The old man looked at Lin Yong in shock: "Master Jun, the grace of saving your life...... To tell you the truth, if you really hand over these more than 70 souls, it will really cost you the life of old decay. But Master Jun, that Lord Huang is also the number one person in Donghai City, aren't you afraid of ......?"
Lin Yong disagreed: "I'm afraid? That kid is even more afraid! This fan Lord Huang has used it once or twice at most and then put it away, it must have been stolen from the treasury to cheat money, he dared to return it, it was simply self-destruction, it seems that the people here want soul power, they already want to go crazy! You can see that his face is covered with black blue, and he probably hasn't eaten for a long time. ”
"Master Jun, I have to be helped, and I can't repay it, so I'll go to the store to polish it, so as not to cause trouble to Master Jun." After speaking, he lifted the mill and walked back.
"Wait!" Lin Yong stopped him: "You also said that this stone mill polishes the sand and fog, and it is not suitable for use in the house." Well, there's no business right now anyway, and you're grinding there in the no-man's land on the corner, as long as it doesn't affect the quiet here. I'll watch the store for you, and I'll call you when someone comes to me. Wouldn't that solve the problem? You and I are not embarrassed. ”
Lin Yong was wearing a mask, but the eyes under the mask were very clear, and the old meat looked at these eyes and smiled: "Okay, this is the best!" ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately picked up a few hundred catties of stone grinding and went to the no-man's land, looking at Lin Yong from a distance, although he could faintly hear the sound of grinding, it was not so harsh.
Two hours later, the old man came back, and the big stone in his hand had turned into a small and long pipe, and I saw that this pipe actually showed the appearance of white jade, and there was a white feather hanging from it, which was the one that had been left just now.
"Don't you say it, with this generation of cool white feathers, the inhalation of this whole pipe immediately becomes cool and warm. It's the best work of the year. ”
"The master's ingenuity is ingenious, and it seems that this appliance master is indeed all-encompassing, even a rotten stone, after being built through soul power, can have these tens of millions of changes, you can imagine how high the requirements for people are. I don't know where the master is from, I heard that this shop has been in existence for 400 years, could it be that the master is a ...... of the Ming Dynasty?"
The master's gaze drifted into the distance: "No, I'm not from the Ming Dynasty, I'm from Dongsheng." ”
Lin Yong was taken aback, why is this name so familiar?
"I've never heard of any Dongsheng people."
"Then you must have heard of it, Dongsheng Shenzhou, right? Hehe! ”
"Dongsheng Shenzhou? Could it be that the master is ......"
"That's right, I originally came from the Tao of the world!"
Lin Yong was surprised, this was the first time he had met a character in the Dao of the Hungry Ghost. Among these hungry ghosts, there are very few people in the human realm, because the human realm belongs to the three good paths, and most of them enter the animal path first when they fall into the three evil paths, so it is rare to fall directly into the hungry ghost path. In addition, the First Emperor came from the Animal Dao, and all the supernatural powers of the Human Dao were all destroyed in the Hungry Ghost Dao, and it was inevitable that he would be weak.
Lin Yong's eyes lit up: "Doesn't that master have supernatural powers?" What does supernatural powers look like? Tell me about the beauty of the world, I'm really curious! ”
After experiencing too much suffering, Lin Yong has already regarded the Tao of the world as a paradise in his heart.
The old man shook his head: "Hehe, that's as beautiful as you think, although there is martial arts practice in the world, but there is no one in ten thousand who really has magical powers, and it is floating outside the world, hidden in the fairy mountain, and there is no trace of many obstacles, many people can not be explored for a lifetime, I was just a grocery man in the world, the more my sister understands her own insignificance, it stands to reason that the life of ordinary people in the world is not as good as in recent years, the world of science and technology in the animal road." ”
