Chapter 26: The Art of the Cyclone
Shakun City is extremely prosperous and full of traffic.
Not long after Gu Huai and Tai Lai stood out, there were many vehicles passing in front of them, camels, horses, and wolf-like animals, and some Gu Huai couldn't name them.
But this is not the time to recognize animals, Gu Huai is in a hurry.
The first is to get the Liusi beans quickly, and the second is to deal with the "disappearance" case of Sha Baobao.
However, no matter how many cars pass by, it seems that none of them are willing to stop.
"No one wants to take us, how is it good?" asked Gu Huai. He was already a little anxious, and seeing that Tailai was still smoking a pipe at this time, he was even more anxious.
"Don't worryβ" Taylor clutched his pipe in one hand and spit out a puff of cigarette in his mouth, his other hand still across the road, "the one who should come will come." β
The car will come!
It's just that this car made Gu Huai dumbfounded, a car pulled by a donkey!
"This ......" Gu Huai looked at the little animal, which was smaller than a small snail, and was extremely worried.
"Where are you going?" The man who pulled the cart sat in the middle of the car, unable to see his face clearly, only the voice could be heard, and he should be of a young age that was not confused.
There seems to be some laughter in his voice, what is going on?
Tai Lai squinted and looked sideways into the carriage, a little wary.
He probably didn't have much time, hesitated for a while, and finally said:
"Go to Qiankun!"
"Yo, it's a bit far away. Again, the voice that seemed to be smiling, "I'm not very good either." β
"Five taels of silver. Taylor knew that the other party was asking for the price, so he opened his mouth first.
Generally, on this occasion, whoever speaks first has the upper hand, but there is no way, time waits for no one.
"Ten taels and go immediately!" said the coachman.
"Qiankun is not far away, how can this cost ......" Tai came to look at Gu Huai's anxious face, and then looked at Shi Feilun, but still gave up the counteroffer, gritted his teeth and took the young man into the car.
When I got into the car, I still couldn't see the driver's face. Because the sand robe seemed to be too big, and the hood almost covered the whole face.
Gu Huai wondered if the clothes were his own, they were so ill-fitting.
"Are you two going to buy a car?" said the middle-aged man's voice from under the hood.
"Ah, no," replied Taylor, "just to look at something else." β
When you meet people, you will say three points, and Tailai still knows this truth, so he only said a rough idea.
But the coachman seemed to be interested, and said:
"I wonder what kind of stuff you're interested in?"
"You don't have to bother with this. "Tai Lai Xian is a little mindful, after all, it is always a little uncomfortable to be asked too carefully by strangers.
Moreover, this fare is not low, why should I talk so much.
"Is that mana or not?" I didn't think the coachman was still going, and he didn't seem to care about the passenger's resistance.
"Let's go see first, and I don't know which one is right for us. Tai Lai obviously didn't say this, and didn't reveal any news to others.
Speaking of this, suddenly the unstable little donkey cart jolted, and nothing else was there, except that the colorful spinning top in Gu Huai's pocket was turned upside down and fell out of the car.
Because the gyroscope was full of qi magic, and because of the effect of the vehicle moving forward, it kept spinning as soon as it hit the ground, and it was brilliant.
Although the top fell behind the car, the driver seemed to sense something, immediately stopped the car, then walked up to the top, bent down, and reached out to pick it up.
Gu Huai thought to himself that this person looked sharp and kind, and he immediately got out of the car to help pick it up when his things were dropped. Unexpectedly, the coachman just held the spinning top in his hand and kept playing with it, without meaning to return it.
"Colorful spinning top, the little thing is full of qi magic, good things!"
The more you listen to this voice, the more familiar it becomes.
"This benevolent brother?" Tai Lai saw that the coachman had been staying where he was, looking at the little spinning top, and couldn't help but call.
If this guy had been watching the spinning top there, even if the Qiankun car and horse travel was not far away, he wouldn't have been able to reach it.
The coachman was not a wood, and when he heard Tailai's shout, he seemed to remember that he was going to catch the car, so he hurriedly walked back and stuffed the top to Gu Huai.
The moment he stretched out his hand to hand over the top, Gu Huai saw the lower half of the coachman's face, square and square, with a brown beard.
That's not the ......! οΌ
Tai Lai sat on the other side, didn't see Gu Huai's surprised expression, only felt that he was stunned, and asked:
"Why, he broke your toy?"
"Ahh Gu Huai was actually not very sure, and the current task was important, so he didn't say anything more.
But unexpectedly, when the driver started driving again, he suddenly said:
"The colorful spinning top, although the body is small, but the power of qi magic contained in it is very wonderful. β
Taylor was a little surprised, and seemed to have no rejection from Fang Cai, he asked:
"This brother seems to know a little bit about spells?"
The coachman ignored Taylor's question, and continued:
"Why is it wonderful? Because when this spinning top was made, the flow of qi in it was well regulated. β
"Is it true that the rules are swirl-shaped?" Gu Huai suddenly thought of something when he heard this, and asked.
Tai Lai was also shocked by Gu Huai's question, but he didn't expect this young guy to be a little interested in this specific mana technique.
"Yes!" said the coachman, who heard the question he liked, "and the method of making the air flow constant for a long time is clever!"
Gu Huai heard what the coachman said, took out the spinning top and looked at it again.
This little thing seems to contain the master's masterpiece, and it is given by the little autumn leaves, and I can't put it down.
"It's just that, after using the cyclone technique, this object has a natural flaw. The coachman said again.
When he said the technique of cyclone, he probably meant a spell that made the top spin easily.
"What flaw?" Gu Huai asked.
"Ahβ" the coachman sighed meaningfully, explaining, "the force of the cyclone will hollow out the inside of the top little by little, until it is completely hollow!"
After speaking, he sighed and said:
"Heyβthere's always a limit to what is beautiful. At that point, the top will be too light to spin anymore. β
Gu Huai also felt very sorry when he heard it.
He suddenly remembered Xiao Qiuye's words: Life never stops.
In fact, there may be another sentence after this sentence, and when you stop, it may be the end of life.
Looking at the top, Gu Huai was stunned for a while, and suddenly he seemed to think of something again, and asked the coachman:
"Will the air in the cyclone be drained as well?"
The coachman did not answer immediately, and the silent back seemed to be thinking about something.
"Yes!" he suddenly exclaimed, "what a brilliant idea!"
In his excitement, he made the little donkey cart sway.
Tai Lai looked at Gu Huai with a smile:
"What good did you come up with?"
"Yes!" Gu Huai was also excited, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the coachman again, and said:
"Little brother, I know what you want to do. β
The word "little brother" seems to evoke Tailai's memory. He squinted at the back of the coachman:
"You'reβ"
"Hahahaha!" the coachman suddenly laughed, "it doesn't matter who I am, it doesn't matter who we are." For the Five Elements Law, life is too small. β
This is a very reasonable remark, which makes Gu Huai and the others confused for a while.
"Ahem!" said the coachman, who deliberately coughed two more times, "or this little spinning top...... Oh no, it's cyclone. β
"This little brother," he said of Gu Huai, "you have to do what you want, the most important thing is to have a mage to help, and you have to be high-level." β
"How to find it?" Tai Lai asked helpfully, which is what Gu Huai wanted to say.
"I can't talk about this, and I haven't inquired about it. "But before you do that, you can find some of the necessities."
For example, you have to ask the carpenter to make a chest with a shield on all six sides, but with small holes in the shield. β
"Well, and these holes can be closed at any time, right?" Gu Huai answered.
"Yes! Hahaha! Little brother is not stupid. The coachman laughed, and then said, "Then you need some good fabric, cotton fabric, a thicker one, for the lining." β
"The main thing is to breathe, right?" Gu Huai replied.
"Hahahaha!" the driver laughed again, looking very happy, "you know everything, what else do I say?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Gu Huai hurriedly said, "It's just that the idea of looking for brother Tai continues." β
"Then, you need to fix the spell inside, understand?" said the coachman, "That's why you need a high-level mage...... In this way, not only will what you make achieve the purpose you want, but the thing itself will not perish. β
"Because it just drains the air inside, not the thing itself!" Gu Huai finally concluded......
Tai Lai was on the side, listening to the two of them ask and answer, and was stunned.
He didn't understand the design of the spell at all, but he finally knew that the two of them were talking about the Naliusi Dou.
The coachman also knew that Gu Huai was worried about Liusidou, if it wasn't for the people in You's shop, he must have seen it a few days ago.
At this time, the coachman suddenly turned his head, looked at the two people, and said:
"What you said, it is worth a lot to make, and when you make money, remember to give me a share!"
It didn't sound like a joke, and the coachman pulled his hood down as he spoke, revealing a rugged and handsome face.
This man not only talks about spells, but also knows the way of business.
Moreover, he may also like to drink - the drunkard in Qinghongyuan that day!
It turned out that he had always met people, and it was no wonder that the coachman always had a smile when he began to speak.
"You helped me that day, and I won't take ten taels. When he arrived, the coachman said, "That's why I'm willing to talk to you about spells." Ordinary people, I don't care. β
"I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" Of course, Tai Lai has to ask about the origin, otherwise such a master will not know where to see him next time.
But a master always has a master's style. The master only waved his hand and said:
"It should be that we will always see each other, and we will always meet later. β
After speaking, he turned around and left, but he didn't take two steps but suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Huai and asked:
"Did you lose something?"
Gu Huai's eyes widened and he stammered:
"Yes...... Yes, how do you know?"
"You have the smell of mana left on you. The coachman said.
"That thing of mine is a spell object?" Gu Huai asked.
"Anyway, it smells of mana. "And it should be right in this city." β
Gu Huai was a little excited, if he could find the bag, he felt that he would be one step closer to his father.
Really said goodbye to the coachman and the little donkey cart, and came to the Qiankun car and horse shop.
"What are we going to buy?" Gu Huai asked Tailai, "Do you really want to buy a car and return it to Yan Niang?"
"That's a never-going no," replied Taylor, "and we can't afford it." β
"We're going to buy it," he said, looking at the plaque on the carriage door, "it's a life-seeking bell." β
