Chapter 11: The Peachwood Sword
Chapter 11: The Peachwood Sword
"Only by severing relations and never seeing each other can we avoid disasters."
Liu Yuanguang will never forget this sentence, this sentence brought him good luck in his career, but it also brought him spiritual torture, and since then he has avoided his parents and not seen his sister and brother: "All this is fate." ”
The past kept flashing in his mind, and Liu Yuanguang felt as if he had overturned the five-flavor vinegar, which was very unpleasant, so that he didn't sleep well all night, and when he woke up, he felt as if he was sick, and he couldn't lift up half of his strength.
However, Liu Yuanguang didn't think much about it, just went to the hospital for examination when he was sick. But after doing a lot of tests, the doctor told him: "Mr. Liu, your body functions are normal, probably because you haven't rested well, go back and rest for two days and you'll be fine." ”
Whether the body function is normal or not, Liu Yuanguang himself knows better than the doctor, and after scolding the quack, he couldn't help but think of what Qin Xuebing said, and was suddenly shocked: "I won't really live this year, right?" ”
Liu Yuanguang was born superstitious, and once he had this thought, he was extremely frightened in his heart, and immediately drove to Yuan Hongyuan's residence to ask for help.
Yuan Hong has been in the capital for nearly 20 years, in and out of the mansion of wealthy families, highly respected, by no means an ordinary warlock, otherwise the fooling powerful will be recognized, and the body will be divided by a knife.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Hong can be regarded as half a person in the Qimen, he has obtained the broken Feng Shui physiognomy scriptures, and then studied the "Lingqi Sutra" for half his life, but he also has some ability.
Coupled with his background in the rivers and lakes and his long sleeves and good dancing, he finally broke out of today's situation.
"Liu Jushi is contaminated with evil, I'm afraid his life won't last long." Although Yuan Hong couldn't see that Liu Yuanguang had fallen under the spell, he could barely see that Liu Yuanguang's Yintang was black and full of evil, and as for the saying that his life would not last long, it was a matter of faith.
"Master, you must save me." Liu Yuanguang's feet were weak and he hurriedly called for help.
"I can't save you." Yuan Hong sighed, if it was an ordinary yin, it could be resolved by basking in the sun. But like Liu Yuanguang, he can't do anything.
Liu Yuanguang only thought that Yuan Hong wanted benefits again as before, and hurriedly promised a lot of benefits, but to his surprise, Yuan Hong was unmoved this time, and said vigorously, there was nothing he could do.
Yuan Hong is greedy for money, but he knows the stakes better, if he accepts Liu Yuanguang's benefits, but can't resolve the evil, he will definitely attract Liu Yuanguang's hatred, maybe Liu Yuanguang will pull him back.
"It's also strange, Liu Yuanguang doesn't look like a short-lived ghost." Yuan Hong wondered in his heart, he had told Liu Yuanguang's fortune many times, and he knew that Liu Yuanguang's life was not long, but it would not be a problem to live for sixty or seventy years.
But now? Yin Tang is black, and he is full of evil, and if he can't get through it, he may choke his breath at any time.
"But if you die, you'll be clean." Yuan Hong couldn't help but think of a past incident, when he conspired with others and fooled Liu Yuanguang, almost pit Liu Yuanguang for his life, and he is still afraid of being punctured, which has become a knot in his heart.
But if Liu Yuanguang is dead, there is no need to worry about it anymore, and the knot in his heart will be untied.
"Boss Liu, Boss Qian has my phone number here, if you need it, I can help you resolve the disaster, of course, it is paid."
begging to no avail, Liu Yuanguang finally remembered what Qin Xuebing said: "Do you really want to beg that kid?" ”
No wonder Liu Yuanguang hesitated, Qin Xuebing was too young after all, and he didn't look like a so-called master at all. Moreover, Master Yuan, who was worshiped by him like an immortal, couldn't resolve the evil, so what could Qin Xuebing do?
"Since he can see it, there should be a way." Liu Yuanguang finally decided to give it a try, no matter what, the surname is important, and other things are small.
Qin Xuebing came to the hospital with fruits, and happened to meet Liu Yuanmei at the door of the ward: "Sister Yuanmei, how is Grandpa Liu's health?" What does the hospital say? ”
"After taking medication, it is no longer so uncomfortable, and the hospital is ready to arrange an operation to make the elderly recover faster." Liu Yuanmei looked at Qin Xuebing gratefully, if it weren't for Qin Xuebing, the old man would probably die soon in the torment of illness.
"That's good, I'll go see the old man first."
Qin Xuebing walked into the ward and put the fruit basket away: "Grandpa Liu, I'm coming to see you." ”
"It's Xiao Qin, sit here and talk to my old man." The old man looked very happy to see Qin Xuebing, if it weren't for this enthusiastic young man, how could he lie comfortably in the ward.
Moreover, in the past two days, the grandsons and granddaughters of the second and third sons' families have also come to visit, not to mention how happy he is in his heart.
After chatting with the old man for a while and understanding these situations, Qin Xuebing was also happy for the old man, at such an old age, he was finally able to enjoy his old age in peace. After a while, Qin Xuebing asked about the matter: "Grandpa Liu, did your ancestors live in Hangzhou?" ”
"How do you know?" Grandpa Liu couldn't help but be curious, he only mentioned these things to his son and daughter in his early years, but after so many years, he must have forgotten them.
"Among the copper coins, one of them is suspected to be the one that appeared in Hangzhou at the end of the Qing Dynasty, so I want to ask and find out its origin."
Qin Xuebing said: "According to historical records, there is no copper coin collected by the famous Dai Xu during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, will your ancestors be related to Dai Xu, or Dai Zhai?" ”
"Then you're really asking the right person."
Grandpa Liu was very happy to help Qin Xuebing: "When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that my grandfather's generation was very wealthy, and my grandfather also liked to collect copper coins. ”
After a slight pause, Grandpa Liu said again: "After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the family once funded the purchase of Dai Mansion, which is said to be to find a copper coin, but it is unknown whether it was found. ”
"That should have been found." Qin Xuebing couldn't help laughing, the Missing Horn Great Qi had already been born, how could he not find it? However, there were too many people who looked at the missing corner at that time, and Grandpa Liu's great-grandfather must have spread the news for safety.
"In my father's generation, the Anti-Japanese War began, and the family was in the middle of the road, and the glass was upside down."
Grandpa Liu sighed and said, "When I was a child, I wandered around with my father, starved and fed, and finally settled in the capital. However, in order to escape for his life, he still cared about the copper coins, and many of them were thrown away, leaving only a small part, just a small bag of copper coins, many of which my father collected later. ”
The truth of the inheritance of the missing horn Daqi was finally revealed, and Qin Xuebing was excited, this was definitely a big discovery in the collecting world, and it was a big discovery that he unveiled single-handedly.
Coming out of the hospital, Qin Xuebing was excited, and immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed Qian Zhengtai's number: "Boss Qian, it's clear, it's clear, it's clear, Grandpa Liu's ancestor is one of the people who bought Dai Zhai, and the inheritance of the missing corner Daqi is complete." ”
"Okay, good, haha......" Qian Zhengtai laughed, the inheritance is clear, and the birth of the missing corner is more convincing, and it will definitely surprise those collectors who are invited.
After laughing for a while, Qian Zhengtai couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Xiao Qin, I have good news here, Liu Yuanguang called me just now, I hope to see you." ”
Qin Xuebing was not in a hurry to close the net, Liu Yuanguang did not call in person, but asked Qian Zhengtai to relay, obviously not in a hurry enough, in this case, it was almost impossible to get the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. Therefore, it is better to dry him for a few more days, and when he is in a hurry, he will obediently send the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup to the door: "Boss Qian, you tell him that he will not be able to die for a while." ”
"Okay, I'll tell him for you later."
Qian Zhengtai couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Qin, what the hell is going on?" Why did Qian Zhengtai fool you? ”
"I said I could tell fortunes, but you didn't believe it, so what else do I have to say?" Qin Xuebing cut off the call with a smile, since he didn't believe it, then let everything become a mystery.
However, this phone call also gave Qin Xuebing a sense of urgency, and he had to work hard to get the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup from Liu Yuanguang's hands, and he couldn't do it like he did with Wang Datong.
In fact, dealing with Wang Datong is not deception, but naked blackmail, which is actually no different from robbers, but it will not leave evidence of the crime.
Although this method is more direct and effective, there is also a huge risk, and if you don't do it well, you will be retaliated against and lead to death. Therefore, Qin Xuebing changed his strategy and changed to a deceptive method, not only asking Liu Yuanguang to obediently hand over the chicken bowl cup, but also making him grateful to Dade and reaching the realm of moisturizing things silently.
If you want to achieve this effect, you must use some props to confuse Liu Yuanguang and make him believe it.
"Am I a charlatan, or a Qimen magician?" Qin Xuebing himself thought it was funny, what he did was too unusual, more similar to a charlatan.
But then again, the deception industry is still a charlatan's stakes, the deception is strange, and there are always people who are willing to be fooled. In contrast, the people of Qimen are much inferior.
"What are the things you want to buy?" Qin Xuebing didn't want to complicate things, and it was also taboo to make the process too complicated, because the more complicated it was, the easier it was to make mistakes, and as long as one of the links made a mistake, it might collapse completely.
Deception does not depend on whether the process is simple, but on hitting the nail on the head: "A spirit rune and a peachwood sword are enough." ”
Charms, Taoism is the most common, seeking peace, avoiding disasters, warding off evil spirits, town houses, etc. are widely accepted by the people, so as to deceive, intuitive and effective, high credibility.
The peach wood sword is a kind of Taoist magic weapon, which is also believed to have the functions of town house, blessing, and evil spirits in traditional Chinese customs, and is also widely accepted by the people, and it is believed that it can be concealed from Liu Yuanguang.
Qin Xuebing went straight to the Ping'an Building of Panjiayuan, which specializes in handicraft souvenirs with rich folk customs, such as peach wood swords, Ping'an buckles, lover's knots and so on.
"Hello sir, do you need me to introduce you?"
The shopping guide was very enthusiastic, and Qin Xuebing also smiled back: "It's okay, take me to see the peach wood sword." ”
"The peachwood sword can be used to calm the house, take blessings, avoid disasters and drive away disasters, I don't know what type you need?"
The shopping guide is a person from the capital at first glance, with a poor mouth, and he is very capable: "If you hang it outside the door, you can choose to carve the pattern of the gods and the Yulei to ensure that all evils are difficult to invade and the house is safe." ”
"I didn't expect you to be quite professional, you even know this, but not many young people know this now." Qin Xuebing couldn't help but glance at the other party, according to legend, there is a world of ghost domains, among which there is a mountain, and there is a big peach tree covering three thousand miles on the mountain, and there is a golden rooster on the treetop. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the morning, the ghosts that wander out at night will drive back to the ghost realm. The gate of the ghost domain is located in the northeast of the peach tree, and there are two gods standing by the door, named Shen Tu and Yu Lei.
If the ghost does something harmful at night, Shen Tu and Yu Lei will immediately find out and catch it, tie it up with a rope made of mango reeds, and send it to feed the tiger, so the ghosts in the world are afraid of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, so the folk gods and Yu Lei are worshiped as the original door gods, and they can also be said to be the ancestors of the door gods.
Therefore, it is most effective to hang the peach wood sword engraved with the gods and Yu Lei at the door of the town house, which can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits.
The shopping guide couldn't help but smile bitterly, who is younger? However, he is also good at dancing with long sleeves, and continued to say: "Do a line, love a line, and be fine, if we don't even understand this, the boss would have fired us a long time ago." ”
"That's right."
Qin Xuebing nodded, and said, "But it doesn't matter to me what style of peach wood sword it is, as long as the thing is old enough." ”
The shopping guide then smiled bitterly: "We sell craft souvenirs here, not antiques." ”
"I don't believe that a decades-old store will have no old objects." The reason why Qin Xuebing came to Ping'an Building is because he likes its year, even if there are no old objects in such an old store, there will be boutiques left over from the beginning of the opening.
And Qin Xuebing's pretext to deceive Liu Yuanguang happened to require a peachwood sword that was old enough.
"You'll wait."
The shopping guide was no longer verbose, and quickly took out a wooden box from the high-rise counter, and after opening it, he took out a three-foot-long dark red peach sword: "This is the first batch of peach wood swords that our store just opened twenty-five years ago. ”
Qin Xuebing drew his sword out of the sheath, and indeed as the shopping guide said, the three-foot-long peach wood sword did not have any blame, and I am afraid that hundreds of peach trees would be difficult to find such a piece of material.
As for the carving is first-class, the sword body is engraved with the moon and stars on one side, the mountains and rivers are engraved on the other side, the sword handle is written on the art of farming and animal husbandry, and the other side is written on the policy of unification of the four seas, which is actually carved by imitating the first sword Xuanyuan Xia Yu sword in China, and it is a sword of the holy way.
The shopping guide continued to give full play to Kan Dashan's ability: "According to legend, the peachwood sword made by Yun Zhongzi is also made of imitation of Xuanyuan Xia Yu's sword, so that even the fox spirit does not dare to approach. ”
Hearing this, Qin Xuebing smiled bitterly, Yun Zhongzi is the expounding immortal in "The Romance of the Gods", not the twelve golden immortals, but the magic power is not weaker than the twelve golden immortals, and he is proficient in refining weapons, and the magic weapons such as turning the sky seal and tying the immortal rope have been successfully imitated by him, which can be called the ancestor of piracy.
What's more worth mentioning is that Yun Zhongzi successfully transformed his apprentice Lei Zhenzi from a human into a birdman, which can be described as the first transformation human maker in history.
According to legend, in the late Shang Dynasty, King Yin was bewitched by the fox spirit, and the dynasty was decayed, and Yun Zhongzi specially made a peach wood sword and hung it in the court, so that the fox spirit did not dare to approach.
But Qin Xuebing didn't expect that the shopping guide would actually integrate this allusion with Xuanyuan Xia Yujian and use it in sales, but it was also ingenious: "Yes, you should quote directly, otherwise we will bring in all the Sanqing Daozun." ”
"Don't say it, this peachwood sword is indeed related to Sanqing Daozun."
The shopping guide said energetically: "If you want to buy a peach wood sword, you must know the Shangqing Palace in Luoyang, right?" Where is the best quality of peach wood, and the material of this peach wood sword comes from there, so the price is relatively expensive, 30,000. ”
"Dude, you're not kidding, are you?"
Qin Xuebing rolled his eyes, with the current price of the peach wood sword, 30,000 yuan is not expensive, but outrageous: "I will pay 10,000 yuan at most." ”
"Ten thousand is too low, twenty-eight thousand." The shopping guide gave in slightly, the price of the peachwood sword was actually not so outrageous, but Qin Xuebing wanted a peachwood sword of the year as soon as he came, and he took it for granted that it was a fat sheep.
"One in one." If Qin Xuebing hadn't taken a fancy to the history of the Taomu Sword for decades, he wouldn't have come up with this price anyway.
"No, at least twenty-six thousand." The shopping guide took the initiative to give up 2,000, according to the regulations, every thing in the store has a low price, as long as the price is higher than the reserve price, the higher part has a commission.
"Ten thousand." Qin Xuebing also added two thousand, but this was also his reserve price. In fact, judging from the current market situation, with the material of this peach wood sword, the price is about seven or eight thousand yuan.
However, because of the exquisite carving, it has a lot of sound and color, and it should be added to 10,000. Then Qin Xuebing took a fancy to its year, so he added another three thousand.
That is, Qin Xuebing is willing to offer this price, and if he is replaced by someone else, unless he doesn't understand the market, or has a soft spot for this peachwood sword, he will not offer such a high price at all, because the year of the peachwood sword is worthless in their eyes, and he will not increase the price at all because of this.
"Sir, the price you offered is really too low."
The shopping guide smiled bitterly, so he was embarrassed: "In this way, I will calculate the lowest price for you, 20,000 two, how about it?" ”
"Then you might as well keep it for yourself." Qin Xuebing turned around and left, although he was not bad for money now, he didn't want to be wronged, otherwise the money would be earned, and he would be scolded for being wronged.
"Twenty thousand, there's really no way to get any lower."
The shopping guide hurriedly shouted again, but seeing that Qin Xuebing didn't even look back, he hurriedly chased after him: "Sir, don't be in a hurry to leave, the price is negotiable." ”
"It's too expensive, it's unaffordable, there's nothing to negotiate." Qin Xuebing was too lazy to say that the peachwood sword was not a rare item, and there were many merchants selling the peachwood sword in Panjiayuan, so there was no need to waste too much saliva here.
"Then I'll talk about bargaining again, how about 18,000?"
"Am I that like that?"
Qin Xuebing was a little funny: "Let's put it this way, 13,000 is my reserve price, don't think about it even more." ”
was told by Qin Xuebing, and the shopping guide was not embarrassed, but said directly: "Deal, do you pay cash or swipe the card?" ”
"Swipe your card."
Qin Xuebing took out his credit card, feeling a little funny, he remembered that he didn't pass the application for a credit card in his freshman year, but since he put more than one million yuan into the card, the bank immediately took the initiative to come to the door and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to let him get a credit card.
It can be seen that although money is not omnipotent, it can make the bank change from a grandfather to a grandson.
"Spending 13,000 to buy a prop is also a bloody cost, right?"
Walking out of the Sifang Pavilion with the wooden box in his hand, Qin Xuebing thought like this, after spending so much blood, if he couldn't get the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, it would be too much of a failure.
However, Qin Xuebing is not in a hurry, let alone take the initiative to contact Qian Zhengtai, he is now playing a game of patience with Liu Yuanguang, whoever can't help it first will lose the initiative: "Now it depends on how long Liu Yuanguang can endure it, I hope it will be before the underground ghost market opens." ”
