Chapter 10 The Characters on the Second Floor of the Tea House
"I should have guessed that you were a cultivator." The boss raised his head and looked at Xie Xiaoman's face, "But this looks quite strange, after all, in Jiankang City, there are very few cultivators of your age, too few." ”
Xie Xiaoman heard this for the first time, and he couldn't help but wonder a little: "Why is this?" ”
The boss felt even more strange when he heard this, and looked at Xie Xiaoman carefully again, this time more carefully, from top to bottom: "Speaking of which, you are not familiar with the things in the immortal cultivation world, but you are a person in it, such things are really rare." If you have to analyze it, you must not be a figure in the sect, nor an immortal cultivator in the family, if you have a teacher, you will not ask such a question. ”
Stretch out your right hand and place it on the armrest of your wheelchair to support your head. The boss's series of actions turned out to be a little elegant, but with a somewhat lazy taste: "Ordinary casual cultivation is mostly elderly people." After all, enlightenment requires the precipitation of time and experience, and even if it is taught by others, it will span a distance of several years or even more from hearing the Tao to being able to truly practice. It's puzzling that you are so young and yet so incomprehensible. ”
It's not the first time that Xie Xiaoman has been commented that he is "unfamiliar with the matter of cultivating immortals", and when he heard it again, he couldn't help but be a little depressed: "Cultivating immortals is not just a little thing, I don't know what it is." You haven't answered my question yet. ”
The boss smiled slightly: "I'm not in a hurry to talk about it, because it's not as interesting as yours." Let me guess, if my guess is correct, you should have some chance to get the enlightenment of someone in the sect. But that guy didn't teach you much and left again. Am I right? ”
"That's a shame, it's not quite right." Xie Xiaoman's heart tightened, and he naturally thought of Guo Pu, so he was a little vigilant.
"Yes." The boss smiled lazily, "It's not quite right, but it's still partly right." ”
Xie Xiaoman was speechless for a while.
When the boss saw her appearance, he smiled dumbly. Spread his hands: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so talkative, it doesn't matter to me what the identity of the guest is, I'm just just curious." As for the question you asked me earlier. Actually, the answer is very simple. If you have aura in your body, you can naturally open up your muscles and veins, and even if your legs can't heal, you can recover some of your senses and abilities, and then slowly recover. But it's a pity. I don't practice. ”
"What did you say?" Xie Xiaoman couldn't believe his ears.
"You heard, I don't know how to practice." The boss smiled as he deservedly so.
Xie Xiaoman was silent for a moment: "But you know things about cultivation." ”
The boss laughed, "So to speak. ”
"Then you ......"
"You're right, I don't have that talent to practice. I've been trying to meditate for 26 years since I was a kid, and even now, every night before I go to bed, I breathe and breathe, but sadly, I still haven't crossed that threshold. "The boss said it very lightly, and he didn't mean to complain, and even joked briskly." Speaking of which, this is also the way it should be, after all, I can't even use my legs, so how can I step forward
The threshold is there. ”
For a moment, the room was quiet.
It was only a street away from the bustling city, and now that he just stopped talking, the bustle poured in like a tidal wave, covering the whole house.
A fresh breeze blew in, blowing the room through, and the aura swayed very slightly in the wind, suddenly like a dream.
The crisp sound of the wind chimes. Not just because of the breeze, but also because of the guests.
"Boss, give me that wooden sword! Please! "The visitor is indeed a guest. But it's not here to spend money, "It's so beautiful, I thought about it day and night after I saw it, and I couldn't sleep well." You see, I'm almost halfway up my face with dark circles, if I don't really like it. I'm a big man, I can't lick my face and come to you every day, don't I! ”
Xie Xiaoman looked back, this guest had hands and feet, five big and three thick, he didn't expect to be cheeky to ask for something.
Probably seeing Xie Xiaoman's doubts, the boss lazily pointed to a wooden sword on the wall next to him: "This is what he wants, I offered six thousand yuan, and he wanted six hundred yuan to buy it, and now it has become for me to give it to him." ”
It was a sword with a very strong aura, and someone had the cheekiness to give it away? Xie Xiaoman frowned, obviously a little displeased.
The key problem is that the cheeky person in front of him doesn't seem to be a good person...... Even, to put it mildly, this guy looks a little like the kind of person who bullies the market.
Although he didn't think that the boss with so many talismans would be bullied by others, Xie Xiaoman also had some strange thoughts, and looked at the cheeky man's gaze, which was much colder.
"Alright then, you can take it."
Just when Xie Xiaoman was about to say something or even do something, the boss's words made her completely stunned.
"Seriously! I know that the boss is a good person! Thank you! Thank you so much! The man was ecstatic, as if he was afraid that the boss would regret it, so he stepped forward and hugged the wooden sword, and went out with a thank you.
Sure enough, he didn't even take out six hundred dollars.
Xie Xiaoman looked at the back of the man who had gone away and was speechless for a while.
"You ......"
"I know what you're going to say, but don't you think that when you see others happy, you're also happy!" The boss smiled and yawned.
"But what if he just wants to take advantage of you?"
"What is his purpose, and what is the difference? He's always happy. If you can make people happy just by giving them something, I think it's worth it. ”
"You're really a ......" Xie Xiaoman thought of adjectives for a long time, "Interesting person." ”
The boss didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
"Well, I won't hide it from you, I'm here to sell talismans." Xie Xiaoman took out the talisman seal from his arms, "As you said, I really don't know much about things in cultivation, and I don't know how to do it if I want to make money." I don't have much to do, but I just write some rudimentary talismans and refine some simple pills. But even with these sigils, I don't know who to sell them to. ”
The boss tilted his head slightly: "I actually sell very few things here, and not many people will buy talismans." Because as you said, ordinary people have no way to determine whether these talismans have any effect. ”
Xie Xiaoman had expected this situation a long time ago, but he was not discouraged: "You are right. However, speaking of which......" she suddenly thought of something, "although you don't know how to practice, you have spiritual sense?" And the spiritual sense seems to be very strong? ”
"It's not strong, it's just that you can see something." The boss smiled lazily, his slender eyes bent into crescents, "Actually, although I can't sell it, you can also sell it to me." ”
"I don't understand." Xie Xiaoman frowned.
The boss spread his hands: "It's like I gave that person a wooden sword just now, I will be very happy when I see others happy." ”
……
……
Strange people, strange things.
When Xie Xiaoman walked out of Qingfeng Zhai, he still carried those written talismans in his arms, and there was no extra silver on his body.
She couldn't do what the boss proposed, although until now, Xie Xiaoman hadn't figured out what the boss of Qingfeng Zhai was relying on to make money.
She didn't notice that not far from Qingfengzhai there was a two-story teahouse. The sound of this teahouse is not good, but the second floor has been occupied all the year round, and no one else is allowed to set foot in it.
There are people upstairs, people all year round, whether it's day or night.
Those people may be eating, or chatting, but they always have a wisp of thought and pay attention to Qingfeng Zhai.
Their faces are always changing, and I don't know how many people take turns on duty, but when everyone comes to the second floor, their expressions will inevitably become nervous.
In the surrounding realm, the only people who showed a breeze on their faces were the owner of Qingfengzhai and the guests who took things from Qingfengzhai for free and were happy.
As for Xie Xiaoman, of course he does not belong to one of them.
She didn't notice that on the second floor of this teahouse, there were many pairs of eyes looking at her, and some people felt the spiritual power in her body, and reported to their superiors with a little nervousness.
All this happened in the light breeze of the boss of Qingfeng Zhai. The tense atmosphere permeates the second floor of the tea house.
And Xie Xiaoman, who was bored for a while, looked up at the clouds in the sky, and was thinking about what he should do this time, when he heard a slightly familiar voice not far away.
"That Qingfeng Zhai boss is such a fool! I don't know how to manage people and ask for money when I do business, every time I come to the door and say a few soft words, I want to give anything, and I don't have to spend a penny! You say this kind of person, not a fool or something! ”
This voice is really familiar, and it involves Qingfeng Zhai, Xie Xiaoman stopped, his face was a little dark, and he looked at the familiar figure on the street around the corner, and cursed in his heart.
What a shameless bastard, the boss of the other family kindly gave you something, and you even go around claiming that he is a fool?
As for the identity of this person, Fang Cai was really right, and now they are gathered there in groups of three or five, begging for people's faces to disappear, revealing the breath of the ruffian.
"It's strange to say this, it seems that his Qingfeng Zhai has been open for seven or eight years. Although this place is quieter, it is also the shop of the West Market, how can he support it by giving away a lot of things like this? One of the thugs asked.
"He's a lame and stupid person, and it is estimated that the owner of this shop is embarrassed to ask him for rent! Hahaha! The person who got cheap and sold well smiled as if no one was around, "How much is this wooden sword worth?" He actually sold it for 6,000 yuan a handful, and sold a few casually, and the rent for a year was enough! Damn, it's really funny, what kind of town house exorcises evil spirits? I think the people who buy these things are wronged! If you have the money to buy these things, you might as well honor our brothers! ”
The ruffians laughed at a low voice, and of course, even if it was just a whisper, it would reach the ears of those on the second floor of the teahouse.
Now, the people on the second floor looked at each other and nodded slightly.
One of them held out his finger and pointed at the ruffian holding the wooden sword, a little farther away. (To be continued.) )
