Chapter 8: The Red Needle
"Hmm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The girl nodded and left with a smile.
In fact, Xu Qing originally planned to go to work early today, but unfortunately she slept too late last night to catch up with the materials, so she didn't get up in time in the morning, and she happened to be blocked outside when she went to work.
Xu Qing planned to go directly to the back door of the company, but she didn't expect to meet someone who would say that there was no ghost and looked very professional, and this person was still very young, so she was very curious to go up and chat a few words.
However, she finally came to the conclusion that what the guy said was definitely not right, and she didn't take it to heart, a young man, three or four years younger than herself, could say anything? She didn't report her hope for it.
You must know that she works in Huaqing, but she has seen strange events in the building with her own eyes, and she even saw a strange shadow with her own eyes once.
She was scared to death at that time, she didn't even dare to breathe, so she hid in the corner alone in fear, if it wasn't for a colleague passing by and going out with her, she probably wouldn't even dare to move that night.

"Fuhua Street! That's it! β
Qin Feng stopped, looked up at the sign at the entrance of the street, and after confirming that it was Fuhua Street, he parked his bicycle on the side.
This is a relatively retro and somewhat dilapidated street, and there are not many people who buy things, only a few people, but there are many roadside vendors.
Qin Feng walked straight to a quaint and old shop with a sign in front of the door that said 'Three Candle Shop'.
The name of the shop was a bit odd, but he wasn't surprised, because the things he bought were related to these things.
"What do you need, sir?" In the dim light, the old shopkeeper behind the mahogany counter asked with a pair of reading glasses: "We have all the netherworld paper silks, gold and silver mountains, and white and red candles here, I hope Mr. is satisfied." β
Nodding, Qin Feng glanced at the pendants and items around him, and said directly: "A knife of yellow paper, a wolf hair, two red candles, and three taels of cinnabar." Yellow paper should be sinking, incense should be vigorous, cinnabar should be dark red, and wolf hair needs tail hair less than one year old. β
When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that it was a knowledgeable person, so he said to a young man in the corner: "Xiao Du, take it according to this gentleman's request." β
The boy nodded timidly and walked over to the objects, his right arm seemed to be born with a disability and could only be picked with his left arm, but his left arm was more skilled than a normal person's right arm.
Soon, the young man finished choosing, handed over the things to the old shopkeeper, and then shook his head and said: "The shopkeeper, yellow paper, red candles, and cinnabar all meet the requirements, but the wolf has no pen, and we only have more than one year here." β
"More than a year?" The old shopkeeper frowned, then raised his head and asked, "This gentleman, does it have to be less than a year old?" β
"Yes."
Qin Feng nodded, and continued: "If you don't have it, you can wrap these items, and I will go to other homes to find the rest of the wolf." β
He also knew that the one-year-old wolf pen was not easy to find, after all, the owner of those tail hairs was not so easy to catch, and the handful of tail hairs that made the wolf pen was even more difficult to find, generally speaking, only those over one year old would grow, so he also had this mental preparation.
"That's right, since my husband came to my house, I bought it on his behalf, after all, although it is difficult to buy, I know that there is one person who absolutely owns it." Seeing that Qin Feng nodded in agreement, the old shopkeeper instructed the young man: "Xiao Du, if you go to Lao Zhang's house on the West Street again, you will tell Lao Zhangtou that I want to buy it." β
"Okay." The boy turned and walked away.
"Sir, wait a moment, Xiao Du will come soon." The old shopkeeper laughed.
"There's no hurry." Although Qin Feng was in a hurry, he would not be in a hurry, and this old shopkeeper was a good person, originally he planned to spend more time to find a one-year-old wolf, but he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly.
So he was fine, and he turned around in this old shop.
Although he turned slowly, he looked at it very casually, and occasionally looked at the novelty, but he didn't open his mouth to ask.
Just as he turned around for a while, he walked to the door, and the little black dog in his mind immediately spoke: "Don't move! β
"What's going on?" Qin Feng wondered.
"Look at the shelf on the left, count from bottom to top in the third row, the red needle." The little black dog's tone was a little hurried.
Qin Feng looked at it and also found the red needle.
The red needle is not big, only three or four centimeters in size, the whole body is dark red, the head is very pointed, but the tail is oval, and there is a small hollow circle in the middle, a bit like a compass.
It's a pity that this red needle doesn't have anything peculiar except that it looks red, so I can't help but ask secretly: "This thing looks ordinary, it's not a special artifact, why are you so nervous?" β
"Hmph, what do you know?" The little black dog sneered: "If you can see it, then this thing will still be your turn?" β
As he spoke, the little black dog seemed to be very anxious and said, "No matter what it takes, you have to buy it." β
"Tell me what it is?" Qin Feng frowned.
"If my guess is correct, it should be a magic weapon, and let me check it myself." The little black dog said.
"Magic weapon!"
Qin Feng only felt his head explode, and his mind was full of magic weapons.
Dharma weapons, the weapons of metaphysical scholars, there are cultivation, health preservation, fortune and feng shui, etc., but no matter which one it is, it is absolutely precious, and even rich people can't ask for it.
Because, not only are they extremely expensive, but the quantity is also pitiful, and if you want to refine a magic weapon, you must be a high-ranking monk or a person with a super high Taoism to ignite it.
This kind of person, no matter who it is, is definitely a well-known existence in modern times, and the people who ask them for help are like carp crossing the river, and it is even more difficult to obtain a magic weapon, which is almost impossible.
Take the ghost hunting knife and ghost trapping net in Qin Feng's hand, these are ghost weapons, and they also have skills, they only have miraculous effects on ghosts, in theory, they are more precious than magic weapons, but on the other hand, their use is too remote, who would want to catch ghosts every day?
Therefore, the preciousness of the ritual weapon is even more difficult to measure!
Qin Feng never expected to encounter a magic weapon here, so he said to the old man: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this red needle?" β
The old man looked up and found that it was the red needle that had been on the counter for an unknown amount of time and had not been bought, so he smiled and said: "This thing is not very useful, no one has ever bought it, if Mr. can see it, he can give three hundred yuan, after all, I also bought it at this price." β
"Three hundred?" Qin Feng nodded, and was about to take out the red needle.
At this time, Xiao Du outside the house walked in: "The shopkeeper, the wolf bought it." β
Behind Xiao Du, there was also an old man in a gray robe, although the old man looked gray-haired and quite old, but his figure was quite tough, and his complexion was also very ruddy, and he looked like a person who had been exercising all year round.
As soon as the old man came in, he glanced at the red needle next to Qin Feng......
"Well, wrap that gentleman, and by the way, pack that red needle for him too." The shopkeeper smiled and said that he was in a good mood after selling so many things in one day today.
"Shopkeeper, how much does it cost?" Qin Feng's mind is now focused on the red needle, and he just wants to hurry up and leave after buying it, otherwise it will change later.
"Twenty yellow paper, fifty cinnabar, fifty red candles, two hundred wolf hair! With 300 red needles, you will be charged a total of 620 yuan. The shopkeeper quickly figured it out.
Qin Feng nodded, because the cinnabar is dark red, it is normal for the price to be set at fifty, the price of yellow paper and red candles is also normal, and the wolf is more demanding, and two hundred is also a conscience price.
"Fortunately, I knew that the things I wanted to buy were a bit expensive today, so I took out all the 1,300 yuan in my bank card, but unfortunately my living expenses are a little tight this month."
Just as Qin Feng was about to pay the bill, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Wait!"
