Volume 1 When I Started in the Industry Chapter 53 Lightning Struck Peachwood
The sky is high and the earth is wide, and the water is flowing through the clouds. I sat on the plane back to Beijing, reminiscing about my trip to Yunnan. In Yunnan, I experienced a cult conspiracy, encountered a terrible trick, and almost lost my life. Although I recognized a cheap master and got a very powerful Creation Gu "Black Sand", it was not as good as I thought before I came, neither playing well nor eating well. After rescuing those tourists, Lin Lao was going to take me back to the capital, and he didn't say that he would let me play for a few more days.
There is another thing that is strange, that is, that day my cheap lady woke up the tourists and disappeared, and even Lin Lao didn't know why she didn't say goodbye. I couldn't help but feel a little worried about her, afraid that something would happen to her. But Lin Lao was very big-hearted, and he told me that it was okay, Ah Jin has always been like this, coming and going without a trace.
Putting aside Ah Jin and saying goodbye, this trip to Yunnan, I still have two doubts lingering in my heart. First, whether any of the two of them, Sanwazi and Patriarch Liu, colluded with the black-robed people. Second, the corpses in the cave are not the villagers of Taoxi Village. These two issues are related to the safety of Taoxi Village, in case there are tourists or villagers killed in the future, we will have to run again. I really don't want to go on a business trip with Old Man Lin anymore, he will pit me except for him. Not only did he have to block the wine, but he also had to clean up the mess for him. However, there are no answers to these two questions at all, unless they are investigated diligently. But I'm already on my way back to the capital, so I have to ask Director Cheng to continue the investigation. Alas! Fortunately, I don't think about anything, and there won't be any major problems for the time being. I can't ignore if something really happens, hey, maybe this is fate, soft-hearted, soft-hearted is also fate. I used to feel that I was cold by nature, but now it seems that I just can't express it. It may also be that Tang Yaxi has changed me, and I am a little sentimental now.
The plane arrived in Kyoto at noon, and Lin Lao was tossed this time, so he parted ways with me as soon as he got off the plane and went home first. I scolded in my heart, old thing, don't say give me a dust washing banquet, I'm also a "hero"! Just as I was grumbling, my phone rang. When I opened it, it was an unfamiliar number. I don't know who it is, what's the matter with me? I hesitated, but got on the phone.
"Brother Yan, what are you doing? If you are free today, my sister will take you to eat delicious food, and go to my store by the way. A familiar voice came from the earpiece, it was Zhilan.
I was silent for a moment, how did Zhilan know my contact information, I remember as if I had never told her. But I quickly put this doubt behind me, and I said yes. I don't want to go back to school yet, I haven't eaten well in the past few days in Yunnan, since she said to invite me to a big meal, why not? Anyway, I don't have to pay for it, hehe, I have a feeling of being fostered in my heart.
After waiting at the airport for about an hour, Zhilan drove over. When we met, they were very enthusiastic about me and asked me where I had gone. I vaguely said that it was a trip to Yunnan. Seeing that I didn't want to go into details, she didn't ask deeply. Picked me up in the car, and the car drove to the hotel last time, or the private room of Tingyu Pavilion.
A table of dishes was served, and I was not polite, and went straight to the clouds. When I was half-full, Zhilan opened her mouth and said, "Brother Yan, what you told you last time, how did you think about it?" ”
"Ahem~" The two of us fell into silence as soon as we arrived in the private room, just kept eating, and I was startled by her sudden question. picked up the water cup on the table and took a few sips, then replied, "Eh, Sister Zhilan, what did you say last time?" ”
"You, don't ask knowingly, just come to my store to help me and do part-time work. Let me tell you, why are you also a cultivator, you can't just build a car behind closed doors, you have to go through experience to achieve a skill, not to mention that this industry is actually very profitable. Also, don't blame your sister, I inquired about you later. What are you studying now? How to find a job after graduating from this major, you don't want to be unemployed after graduation. As long as you follow your sister and work steadfastly, it's not a lot of money. And with your ability, you will definitely be able to do a lot of things," Zhilan said earnestly.
After listening to Zhilan, I thought about it for a while, indeed, I was a little hot-headed when I changed majors before. In case you can't find a job after graduation and can't support yourself, wouldn't it make your parents anxious, and when you get home, you won't be shameless to face Jiangdong's parents. However, I know my current Taoism that there is no problem in dealing with some unjust ghosts, but when I encounter powerful ghosts, unjust ghosts and other powerful ghosts, or I encounter something I don't understand, I take the liberty of subduing others, and it is simply sending me to death. After all, I have only made a slight success in the cultivation of Yuan Qi, and I have not mastered many techniques. It's similar to playing games, for example, I'm good enough now, but I don't have the skills or equipment. And I'm playing against a full-level full-gear hero, so I'll just send it to a human head. Weighing the pros and cons, I said, "I'm sorry, Sister Zhilan, I haven't thought about it yet. I'm not very good at the end of the day, and I'm afraid I won't help you get into trouble again..."
"Well, okay then. Brother Yan, you think about it again, my sister doesn't force you. However, my sister still wants to persuade you again, it is not okay to practice behind closed doors, you have to practice. Okay, let's not talk about this for now, sister toasts you, washes the dust for you, come and toast! As she spoke, Zhilan raised her glass and touched it with me. I just got off the plane, my head was still dizzy, and I really didn't want to drink. So she drank a glass of water instead of wine and Zhilan, but fortunately she didn't mind.
In the afternoon, Zhilan took me on a tour of her shop. Kyoto's Buddha Pavilion is much more luxurious than Tetsuan, and the Buddha statues sold inside are all pure gold, and each Buddha statue is equipped with a small leaf red sandalwood shelf. Look at the price above, ho~ Even if you sell me, you can't afford it. Curious, I asked Zhilan, would anyone be willing to buy such an expensive golden Buddha? Zhilan said that of course there is, and there are a lot of them, and there are more large amounts of money in the capital than passers-by, so in order to seek peace, they don't care about this "little money". I asked again if the Buddha statue made of pure gold was better than the gilded one? She said that the effect is similar, except that the wealthy merchants in the capital prefer pure gold, and they think that the more expensive the better. When I heard her say this, I couldn't help but feel that the thinking of rich people is different from ordinary people, it's good to be rich, and willful!
When I walked to the display case in the southeast corner of the Buddha Yuan Pavilion, I found a stick with the length of an arm and the thickness of a mineral water bottle. The stick was jet-black, covered with blood-colored lines, irregular, and roughly a cylinder. Looking at the stick closely, I felt as if I had seen it in some book, but I couldn't think of it. Seeing me staring at the stick in a daze, Zhilan came to my side and said, "Brother Yan, what's the matter, do you see the origin of this thing?" ”
"Uh... Sister Zhilan, I just feel as if I've read a record about it somewhere, but I can't remember it. ”
"Hehe, this is the core of the thousand-year-old lightning peachwood, and it is a good material for making first-class magic weapons. It's rare now, and it can be said to be the treasure of our store. Usually placed here, people who don't know the goods can't see the clue at all. ”
Hearing this, my heart moved. "Yes, it's a thousand-year-old lightning strike peachwood, or a tree core! This is a good thing that Mr. Liu does not have. "Legend has it that the lightning strike peach wood is a thunderbolt on the wood, and the yang is added to the gang, which can not only ward off evil spirits and subdue ghosts, but also have miraculous effects in subduing demons and exorcism. I remembered that last time in Yunnan, I just broke a peach branch casually, and it had such a good effect on the corpse possessed by the carcass. If this thousand-year-old lightning bolt is used to strike the mahogany core, I can't imagine the effect.
I stared straight at the peach core in front of me, I couldn't take my eyes off it for a long time, and I couldn't help but be greedy in my heart. Hey, it's a pity, this thing is so rare, I'm afraid it's worth a lot, I'm just a poor student... Thinking of this, I looked away with a gloomy look on my face.
Zhilan saw my expression and knew that I liked the peach wood core in front of me very much, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she said with a smile: "Why, Brother Yan, you have taken a fancy to this thousand-year-old lightning strike peach wood core." Hehe, do you want it? ”
"I... I think I can't afford it, alas! I shrugged helplessly.
"Then you might as well think about my part-time job in my sister, if you agree to help my sister, this thousand-year-old lightning peach core, my sister can give it to you!" Zhilan said earnestly.
What is the concept of a ritual instrument for a practitioner? That is, the ancient outfit 13 must be equipped with BMW, and the modern outfit 13 must be equipped with luxury cars! I can be tempted by a high salary, but this mahogany core... Well, I'm down. I really can't resist its temptation to me, and if I make it into a magic weapon, I dare to say that I dare to fight it for a few rounds even if I am wronged, and maybe I can beat it up to the letter. And the rune figure last time, if I meet it again, hehe, I have to let him know why the flowers are so red!
"Sister Zhilan, then, what do I need to do with that part-time job? How much is this thousand-year-old lightning bolt mahogany core, I can work with you to make money to buy it! ”
"Hehe, I knew that I could buy you with it, so my sister wouldn't have to bother so much. I'll talk about what you do later, this thousand-year-old lightning bolt peach core is yours now. With that, Zhilan opened the display case, took out the wooden core from it and put it in my hand.
When I held the thousand-year-old lightning bolt mahogany core, I had a feeling of tears streaming down my face. Unexpectedly, one day, I didn't succumb to money and beauty, but I was bent by a mahogany core. Ahem, of course, it's still the kind of bend that is willing and unhesitating.
