Chapter 20 The Long Umbrella
Everyone looked in the direction Mr. Skeleton was pointing, and saw an old black umbrella in the glass display case.
The appearance of the black umbrella is very ordinary, the umbrella surface does not appear any commercial LOGO logo, the whole body seems to be coated with a layer of extremely rare special paint, the black is extremely pure, as if it can absorb all the visible light in the air, from Chen Xian's angle, they can only see a black umbrella silhouette very vaguely......
The only thing that was not shrouded in that black was the handle of the long umbrella, which seemed to be carved and bent from some rare wood, and the old and vicissitudes of wood looked a little dull, but the surface seemed to have been carefully maintained, like a faint flash of light on the waxed metal surface.
It was an ordinary and old umbrella, which seemed to be a real dead thing, perhaps because it was covered by glass, so Chen Xian could not feel any of the breath it emitted through the barrier of glass.
Walking over with everyone, Chen Xian stood in front of the glass display case and carefully looked at the introduction of this product.
"A stranger on a rainy night...... What a strange name......." Chen Xian muttered.
Inadvertently, Chen Xian noticed that many anomalous beings were approaching him nearby, and it seemed that they were also interested in this strange umbrella, but when they found that Chen Xian was stopping in front of the display case, they had no intention of leaving...... Almost instantly, the anomalous beings who moved closer to the display case chose to give up and went to other display cases to find their favorite goods.
"This seems like an evil weapon." Lu Yisheng frowned, looking at the text on the product introduction, some curious light flashed in his eyes, "Not domestic?" ”
"Probably not, isn't it written here......"
Chen Xian said, pointing to the small lines on the product introduction.
"The stranger in the rainy night, obtained in the underground city of Liverpool, England in 1931, belongs to the evil weapon species with a great load on the controller, the level of this evil weapon can not be determined for the time being, its power depends on the strength of the controller up and down, about 23 o'clock every day, this evil weapon will actively absorb a large amount of life force and ...... Walking? ”
Chen Xian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this, because the so-called "Taoism" in the abnormal life circle had always been a vague concept for him, and it belonged to the kind of concept that could only be understood but not spoken.
"Dao Xing?" Chen Xian frowned for a moment, then looked at Xu Yanan and asked very modestly, "Do you understand what they mean by Taoism?" ”
"You don't understand?" Xu Yanan was stunned, but he didn't expect Chen Xian to even know this kind of religious common sense.
"I don't understand." Chen Xian shook his head calmly and said, "I haven't understood this, so I don't know very well, I only know a vague concept, if you understand, try to describe it to me scientifically and understandably..... I don't know as much about religion as you do. ”
Hearing Chen Xian's words, Xu Yanan couldn't help but have a look of pride on her face, after all, it was difficult for her to find an opportunity to prove that she was better than Chen Xian.
Hum.....
I didn't expect that Chen's head would still be bad......
"Are you scolding me?" Chen Xian asked suddenly.
Xu Yanan instinctively shook his head in denial, and his heart was very weak: "No! ”
"Could it be that there is something wrong with my senses......" Chen Xian looked puzzled, looking at Xu Yanan with a suspicious look in his eyes, "I always feel that you are scolding me in your heart......"
"I'm not that kind of person!" Xu Yanan defended humbly, and before Chen Xian could ask anything, she began to explain to Chen Xian what Taoism was.
If, according to Chen Xian's request, the term Dao Xing is transformed into a scientific and understandable concept, then Dao Xing should be called a kind of "abnormal energy", which is accumulated by the cultivation of abnormal beings or aliens.
If an anomalous life or an alien accumulates 100 energy every day during the cultivation process, then there will be 20 to 30 energy changes in it.
This kind of anomaly can be called a qualitative change, and the energy that is easy to "volatilize and dissipate" will gather in the cultivator's body, but it is not the location of the dantian as in the legend......
"Cells." Xu Yanan said in a low voice, "This is what I can see based on foreign documents and some of the information released by your Secret Bureau, those energies will attach to or even integrate into the cells of the human body, assuming that the cultivators are spirits and have no substance, then they will also be attached to the particle energy that builds their bodies. ”
The abnormal energy in the cultivator's body usually does not dissipate, and it does not have the characteristic of being easily depleted like the "qi" gathered in the dantian, and it will not be consumed as the basic energy when the cultivator casts spells or fights, and it is difficult for the cultivator to actively use these abnormal energy.
"The strength of the human body or the essence of an anomalous life, the efficiency of energy absorption and extraction, and the limit of the energy that the trunk body can store...... Too much. Xu Yanan explained, "Taoism is the basis for increasing these abilities, and the higher the Taoism, the stronger these abilities will be." ”
"According to what you say, the importance of Taoism is comparable to the vitality ......" Chen Xian frowned, glanced back at Mr. Skeleton and said, "This thing is very risky, you won't be interested, right?" ”
Mr. Skeleton nodded, his eyes filled with excitement that Chen Xian had never seen before, and it showed a childlike excitement for this extremely dangerous evil weapon, as if he had seen his most cherished and coveted toy.
"My life force is endless...... Probably only a little weaker than you...... Probably not...... There won't be a problem......"
Perhaps too excited, Mr. Skeleton was so excited that he couldn't even speak, and stammered to explain to Chen Xian, as if trying to prove that the umbrella would not pose danger to it.
"I don't understand Taoism..... But the energy in my body can keep healing itself..... Heal yourself with your body...... Immortal...... It's like time can't kill me......."
Hearing Mr. Skeleton's words, Chen Xian thought for a moment, after all, this was the first time he was so interested in a certain instrument since it appeared in this world...... It should be considered for both reason and reason.
Why don't you buy it as a gift?
Chen Xian thought about it and felt that this kind of thing was completely feasible, no matter how it was said, it should leave a good impression on the world, at least let it experience what it means to be a section chief's down-and-out generosity, and what is called ......
"Lying ...... Oh my God! Chen Xian swallowed back the dirty words that were about to pop out of his mouth, and looked at the price under the product introduction board and was completely dumbfounded, and his already fair face was even more pale at the moment, "This evil thing dares to sell it for 1,800 yuan?!" Isn't this a robbery?! ”
"Boss, did you just want to swear?" Lu Yisheng asked malicefully.
Chen Xian raised his hand and slapped him on the neck, then felt that it was not enjoyable, and then slapped him again.
Familiar location.
Familiar dynamics.
For a while, Lu Yisheng's mind couldn't help but appear with the figure of Huo Fatzi.
"Eighteen million is not too expensive, I guess this is a discounted price after the discount." Xu Yanan saw this price a long time ago, and he was not surprised, after all, the basic price of many powerful evil things was thousands, or thousands, or even more.
"The side effects are too great." Chen Xian frowned and said, thinking of the meat saw knife he put in the old mansion, he couldn't help but say, "My knife was also bought from Ge Ye, and the price is only three hundred...... This one thousand eight is too high. ”
Chen Xian just thought so, but he never thought that it was the private price given to him by the old liar, if the weird and hideous meat saw knife was put on the trade fair and sold, maybe its price could be regarded as a real sky-high price!
"Aren't you very familiar with the lord of the Yin City?" Xu Yanan reminded quietly, and didn't seem to think that this was a big deal at all, "With such a big backer behind you, what are you afraid of, why don't you just pay the price?" ”
"He said that he was doing a discount, wouldn't it be bad for me to bargain again......"
Seeing that Chen Xian's expression was a little embarrassed, Xu Yanan wanted to persuade a few more words, but Mr. Skeleton suddenly spoke.
"I don't want it..... Check out the others...... Chen Xian ....... "Mr. Skeleton secretly tugged at Chen Xian's clothes, as if he didn't want him to be so entangled, "There are still a lot of things I haven't seen over there...... Go check it out......"
Chen Xian looked at it, and saw that Mr. Skull's gaze was a little dodgy, as if he was deliberately controlling his eyes not to look at the strange umbrella, just like a child who wanted to buy toys for adults, but found that the toys were very expensive and adults were very embarrassed...... So I just gritted my teeth and didn't buy it, trying my best to show that I really didn't want to buy it.
"Go and see, I'll go do some errands and I'll be back soon." Chen Xian sighed.
As he spoke, Chen Xian put away the parasites that were spreading outside, and then took Mu He and handed it to Xu Yanan, signaling her to help take care of it.
"Boss, what are you going to do?" Lu Yisheng asked curiously.
Chen Xian sighed again and looked at everyone deeply.
"I'll buy a few oranges, and you'll be here, don't move."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Xian turned around silently and soon disappeared into the crowd.
"What does he buy oranges for?" Xu Yanan asked confusedly.
Lu Yisheng scratched his head and said, "Who knew he wanted to buy oranges..... Damn?! ”
"What's wrong?" Xu Yanan frowned, a little disliked Lu Yisheng's surprise.
Lu Yi stomped his foot in anger.
"He scolded us for being his son!!"
