Volume I: Chapter Ninety-Nine: Invitations
Gu Le was shocked by his actions, selling talismans to an orthodox Taoist priest, I'm afraid this store isn't selling things stupidly, right?
Suddenly, she realized that she was just a girl with no spiritual power, and there was no sign of Taoism on her body, probably because she was regarded as a curious and ignorant girl. βrad eightβ
Gu Le was a little curious about the spirit talisman in the shop's mouth, so he reached out and flipped through the yellow talisman placed on the table. At first glance, she was speechless again, this store is how easy it is for her to cheat with stupid money......
Gu Le has also seen this kind of graffiti drawn on three-mao rune paper, Gu Le's house is full of paste, if it weren't for the furniture in the house not so scary, I'm afraid she would have replaced the wallpaper in the house with this kind of peace charm......
Gu Le raised his head and pushed the talisman back in his hand. The shopkeeper was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said: "I can't find my favorite talisman here, it doesn't matter, we are also engaged in talismans here, peach blossom talismans, career talismans, and transfer talismans." β
Gu Le said helplessly: "I am a Taoist priest......"
The shopkeeper nodded disapprenously: "It's better to buy a finished product like mine than to buy a drawing talisman that takes a lot of effort to buy rune paper." I'm not expensive, you are my first business today, and I have a relationship with this store, I'll give you a handful, 800 yuan a piece. β
Gu Le: "......"
The price of this authentic Fu is actually sold for 1,000 yuan, and the cost is only less than two yuan, which is simply a black-hearted boss who pits money!
However, if it weren't for Gu Le, as a professional Taoist priest, who had learned how to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, he would have been fooled into buying it by this shopkeeper.
When Gu Le's shocked eyes came, the shopkeeper complained in his heart: Originally, this girl was white and well-dressed, she should have come out of the nobles, but the hesitant look on her face, this can't be a poor ghost......
As soon as he thought of this, he became a lot impatient, and the smile on his face disappeared completely: "Whether to buy it or not, we are still in business." β
Gu Le said indifferently: "I don't buy fake talismans, just raw materials." β
Hearing that his lie was exposed, the shopkeeper's face was bruised, and he was about to have a seizure, but the girl in front of him took out a peace charm from his pocket. Although he is not a Taoist priest, he has been in this business for so long, and there are standard ways to distinguish between them, at first glance, the lines on this talisman are smooth, the cinnabar is blood red, and the talisman paper is also superior, and you can feel the abundant aura on it as soon as you get close.
The shopkeeper was shocked, knowing that this was not the girl's words, and wanted to lower the price - this is really meeting a master who knows how to do it!
As soon as he thought of this, the angry expression on his face was closed, and he hurriedly changed to a flattering look: "Oh, I'm really sorry, people don't know Mount Tai with eyes, and they disturbed Aunt Dao's time, so I will offer the best talisman paper and cinnabar." β
Although science is now advocated, many people are still fortunate to have seen the power of Taoist priests to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, so they are very in awe of this mysterious and mysterious thing, and the Taoist profession is easy to be respected by people.
Nonsense, what if you really offend a powerful person and be retaliated against by the ghosts under their command?
The shopkeeper was a little weak-hearted, and without saying a word, he gritted his teeth and took out the treasure he pressed the box and pushed it in front of Gu Le.
Gu Le was afraid that he would do something on this again, so he flipped through it carefully, and found that these rune papers were really as the store said, they were high-quality rune papers, and they were generally only obtained by first-order and second-order disciples in famous sects, but now they arrived in this kind of store, and they were also a character when they came to this store.
However, thinking of his attitude of changing his face back and forth, Gu Le also sighed in his heart, this kind of two-faced person is indeed easy to climb to a high place.
Gu Le nodded: "Okay, I want all of these, you can calculate the price." β
The shopkeeper showed an embarrassed smile and flattered: "How can I ask for Aunt Dao's money, just let me give you a meeting gift." β
He is really a person who advances and retreats. However, although Gu Le complained a lot about her behavior of selling fake talismans, he still would not take advantage of this shopkeeper in this matter, and secretly calculated the money he needed to pay in his heart.
After getting the materials he needed in his hand, as well as the unexpected joy, Gu Le was in a good mood to put them back in his backpack.
Before leaving, I suddenly went to the store and put the bronze statue of Pixiu on the table, which felt very familiar. Carefully, this carving technique is really similar to his own jade pendant.
Gu Le's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did you buy this thing?" β
The shopkeeper didn't expect this aunt to be interested in these dead things, so he hurriedly replied solemnly: "This is what I got in the antique market, and I invited it back to worship it because of my good work." β
Gu Le's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the antique market, can you tell me?" β
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "It's fifty meters north of the Rich Street in the West District, which is usually open at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and you also need some ID cards to enter and exit, if you want to go, you need to contact a special informant to buy one." β
Afraid that Gu Le would misunderstand his anger, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Because that certificate can only be used once, I don't have it in my hand now, but I can provide you with the contact information of the informant." β
Taoist priests like this kind of aura are arrogant, they can't afford the identity of ordinary people and are more exclusive to xenophobia, so they have this kind of behavior of verifying their identities to enter the market.
Gu Le nodded, and thanked the contact information in the store's hand.
Before leaving, she thought about it and put a few talismans on the table, saying, "Don't sell fake talismans next time, if someone really needs it, it will indirectly harm people's lives." β
The shopkeeper showed a wry smile and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, I'll definitely pay attention next time." β
Gu Le just mentioned it, but in the face of such a big profit, she was not sure that the store would give up such a big profit. When I looked up, I suddenly found that maybe the shopkeeper was in a cold sweat just now, and he inadvertently wiped his beard crookedly. She asked curiously, "What's the matter with your beard...... Did it grow on its own? β
The shopkeeper didn't seem to expect this person to suddenly ask this question, and smiled embarrassedly: "What, aren't ordinary Taoist priests dressed like this, I just want to make myself more like." β
Gu Le was a little speechless, and said in his heart that this boss is still really role-playing and playing too much, where did he hear that the priests are all dressed in Taoist clothes and beards?
But she didn't care much about this kind of taste, and after putting a stack of hundred-dollar bills on the table, she turned around and left.
When I went out, I rummaged through the wallet and had any cash left, and contacted the person provided by the owner. The answer was a middle-aged man with a strong voice, who sounded like he was in his thirties.
"Hey, who are you?"
Gu Le pondered for a while, and said in a slightly arrogant tone: "I am a disciple of the Daomen, and the contact information I got from Old Man Zhang wants a channel token for Changle Street. β
The man's arrogant tone was retracted, and he hurriedly complimented: "It turned out to be the Taoist chief, and he looked up for a long time." β
Taoist priests like them have their own tempers and will not act as impostors, so this middle-aged man has no doubts.
Gu Le: "How do we trade?" β
The man said, "If it's convenient for you, come to the shop at No. 48 Tianmen Street, where I'll be waiting for you." β
After hanging up the phone, in order to ensure safety, Gu Le searched the address of the store and found that it was an antique shop not far from here, so he hired a car to go over.
When I arrived at the destination, I found that this was a large-scale antique shop with very exquisite decorations, and I could feel a surging aura before I entered the door, which made Gu Le have to pay attention to the owner of the shop.
There was a sharp-eyed greeter standing at the door of the store, thinking of the boss's instructions just now, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Excuse me, are you ......?" β
Gu Le said: "I just contacted your boss and came to buy something. β
The clerk's eyes brightened, and he respectfully invited someone in.
Gu Le, the clerk, did not show any suspicion or unrevertentious attitude like Store Manager Zhang, and his hands and feet were nimble, and there was a spiritual power that seemed to be extremely shallow, and he said in his heart that this is also a capable person, and he couldn't help but expect a little more from the boss of this store.
After entering the door, the clerk led her into the cubicle, and it happened that a young man with a small figure greeted her with a smile.
"Hello Dao Chief, junior Liu Neng."
After saying hello like this, Liu Neng raised his head and looked at the person in front of him quietly. Although the girl in front of her is only in her twenties, her spiritual power is clear and clean, her eyes are bright and bright, and her gestures are more decisive and capable.
Gu Le bowed slightly, and put on the appearance of a favored disciple of a higher sect.
"I need some magic weapons to defend myself, and I want to participate in the Changle Street Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night, and I hope Boss Liu will give me a chance."
Liu Neng had a flattering smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." Don't know how many you need? β
"Two ...... No, one is enough. β
Gu Le reflexively wanted to say two, but suddenly thought that Bai Xiuhan was not by his side, and he didn't want him to be involved in his own matter anymore, so he temporarily changed his words.
Liu Neng showed a surprised expression, and said in his heart, is this girl really hidden, and she dares to go to such a mixed place alone. Is it strong and has multiple magic weapons to protect himself, or is it simple-minded and purely wants to join in the fun?
However, this was not something he could inquire, so he went into the house and took a pass and handed it to Gu Le.
Gu Le took the token in his hand, and was surprised to find that it was a jade plate with a good material, and said that this shopkeeper was really wealthy and had put a lot of effort into it.
"How much?"
Liu Neng looked at her, lowered his head and said, "Dao Leader should be the first time to come, but according to our rules, these things are exchanged for the talisman in your hand." β
As he spoke, he peeked at the expression on Gu Le's face, and his heart was even more uneasy.
