Chapter 136: Interlude - Yokohama Adventure (3)

There is also a bookshelf on the east side of the shop, which is filled with ancient books in Chinese characters.

Sima Qiudao casually picked up a copy of the Nanhua Sutra of Zhuangzi.

There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back does not know how many thousands of miles it is. Angry and flying, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird and a sea will migrate to the south. The Heavenly Pond of the Southern Hades is also ......

"Welcome, guests want something." The owner of the shop who showed up to greet him was a Chinese in his forties. Wearing a Chinese horse-hung headband and a foreign hat, he walked over from the shop and asked with a smile, of course speaking Japanese.

"I want some good yellow paper, cinnabar, and fine wolf's hair. Well, the rosewood I just saw is also needed. Sima Qiudao opened his mouth fluent in Chinese, and the boss who spoke was flustered.

"Yo, it's a regular customer introduction, please inside, please inside." As soon as the boss heard Sima Qiudao's language, his face was a little more enthusiastic, and then he knew that there must be an acquaintance to introduce him, otherwise this store is obviously a place that sells calligraphy, paintings, and rice paper, where can these be sold? This is the only shop in Yokohama's Chinatown that truly specializes in feng shui talisman utensils.

"Please." Sima Qiudao is also very familiar with the extension of the road, and under the leadership of the boss, the two came to the back house.

In the back house, the boss arrived at two cups of tea, and the two of them began to discuss the sale.

"I don't know how much you need from the guests, what are the requirements or not." The boss spoke.

"The paper and sandalwood should be good, the cinnabar and lead and mercury should be pure, and the wolf hair should be from China, and it is not common on the market." Sima Qiudao smiled lightly.

"The paper must be produced by the best Maoshan, and the cinnabar is the same, so you are guaranteed to be satisfied. As for the wolf's hair, you also know that most of these are fakes, and the real thing is expensive and not easy to get. The boss replied happily, and when he said about wolf, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Can't you get it with the relationship of the shopkeeper?" Sima Qiudao raised his eyebrows, looked at the boss and asked.

"I can get it, but it's the price."

"Money isn't an issue?" Sima Qiudao thought about it and asked.

"I wonder why the guests are so fond of wolves?" The boss said.

"What's the difference?" Sima Qiudao continued to ask.

"The pen has a rich fox, a dragon, a dragon's tendon, a tiger servant, an orangutan fur, and a wolf. Among them, the wolf is divided into big wolf and small wolf. I don't know what the guests like? , genuine wolf hair, especially big wolf hair, is more troublesome and the number is small. The little wolf is fast to purchase, and it can be obtained in a short time, and the price is easy to say. The boss said.

Sima Qiudao didn't say anything when he heard this, but he just took a tube of brush from the table, and gently pointed his finger with the tip of the pen before he smiled: "Your shopkeeper's words are bad, and the wolf's strength is between sheep and purple hair." The quality is brittle and not resistant to friction.

The south is full of wolf hair, the best one uses the wolf tail, and the whole hair is opened in the water, which is the most appropriate; The north pen is made of wolf hair, the middle is really mane, covered with rabbit hair, the whole pen is transparent, and the practicality is slightly poor.

However, this wolf pen is called the little wolf hair, so the wolf hair is taken from the weasel's tail.

Nowadays, the pen of a certain favorite wolf is the tail hair of the gray wolf in the Tianshan Mountains of the Western Regions, which is naturally called the big wolf.

This kind of wolf pen is very hard, not resistant to ink, and the words written are skinny and strong, which is rare. Of course, if the store has genuine tiger pounces, swan feathers and other good goods, a certain store will also ask for it......"

When the shopkeeper heard Sima Qiudao's words, he couldn't help but arch his hand: "The guest is well-read and strong, and he admires it to the fullest, it seems that this time he has met a real party who knows how to do it, and he doesn't ask whether the guest is used to write a thousand-word article or to wave a pen to walk the dragon and snake." Please wait for a while, Rong will come when he goes, and he can't say that he wants the guests to spend a lot of money......"

Sima Qiudao waved his hand: "Shop, please." "It seems to have a very good temperament of an explosive household who is not bad for money. The shopkeeper was not hypocritical, turned around and went into the inner room, presumably to pick up the goods from the warehouse.

Soon, the shopkeeper came out with a few square pencil cases and placed them on the table one by one. Judging from the name of the pen case cover only, there are the above-mentioned Feng Fox, Tiger Pounce, Dragon Tendon, Orangutan Hair, Swan Hair, and of course, the most is the big wolf that Sima Qiudao asked for.

Sima Qiudao stretched out his hand to open the pen case, examined it carefully, looked at each one, reviewed and played for a long time before putting them back one by one, raised his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper standing on the side and said: "Yes, yes, they are all genuine, and the texture is quite good." A certain family wants it all. Please also ask the shopkeeper to pay attention to getting some better products to collect, maybe when a certain family will come to buy. ”

"No problem, but there are good goods that will be collected for you, and guests are always welcome to come and buy." The shopkeeper smiled and promised Sima to ask for a word, it was rare to meet such a bold and distinguished customer, so he naturally had to be careful with his heart.

"Pack all the high-grade cinnabar, lead and mercury, yellow table paper, and rosewood you just selected, and then check out." Sima Qiudao commanded with satisfaction.

"Okay, please wait." The shopkeeper nodded, made a gesture of please, and turned to leave. A moment later, the boss reappeared in front of Sima Qiudao, carrying a large bag in his hand and handing it over.

"4.63 million yen will be accepted from you." The boss smiled and said.

Sima Qiudao opened the baggage and checked it, confirming that the yellow paper, lead and mercury, and cinnabar were all high-grade and good things, and the few tubes of big wolf hair that he had been optimistic about before were also there. Sima Qiudao nodded, and happily paid the bill in cash.

Otherwise, how can you say that you have enough food and clothing by yourself, if a modern exorcist like Reiko Mijin doesn't know how to make talismans, he can only go to Tokyo Metropolitan Ejin Hall to be exploited by that profiteer.

Besides, the real value of this talisman is not in those materials, but in the skill and profound mana or spiritual cultivation of the person who made the talisman.

A truly successful talisman comes from this to a large extent. Each talisman is made of the condensation of the maker's mental and spiritual efforts.

Therefore, the difficulty of making a truly powerful talisman seal is no less than that of a complex and sophisticated magic array. So, it's a thing of the past to say that it's very expensive.

A mere exorcism charm that can be used can cost about 50,000 yen, but this kind of thing can only deal with the slippery ghosts, snots and other garbage that appeared in the previous robbery of the Venus Bank, once the opponent is a little stronger, the effect of the exorcism charm around 50,000 yen is no different from a napkin......

And the exorcism charm that can really guarantee a certain lethality to ghosts and demons is at least 500,000 yen or more, don't you see that the Venus Bank has posted exorcism charms of millions of yen everywhere in the bank in order to stop the two robber brothers who are suspected of being bound to the spirit, this is definitely a penny, a penny, and there is no room for sloppiness.

Otherwise, go hunting tigers and bears with the hunters, and then the iron cage used to protect yourself is made of tinplate with white iron sheets, and that thing is only worthy of canned luncheon meat, so as to stop the tiger and the bear? Hehe, then the hunter has become luncheon meat......

Fortunately, Sima Qiudao can make talisman seals at home, and the materials used before are all ordinary goods that are casually combined, and this time he has acquired some high-quality products, and with his own better skills and mana cultivation than in the past, he must have doubled the effectiveness of the talisman seal.

Soon, the two of them completed the transaction, and they were satisfied with each other, nodding goodbye to each other.

"Thanks to your patronage, the guests go slowly." The shopkeeper sent off the customer with a smile.

Sima Qiudao waved his hand casually, walked out of the door of Jingyuan Wenfang with the package, and his figure merged into the bustling crowd on the street.
