The "miracles" of the ritual that day were added to the vinegar by the people present, and within a few days, it spread all over Jintan County, and the streets and alleys were full of voices talking about the merits of the Qing Palace in Jiuxiao.

And the blue lake that the resentful dragon was liberated and turned into is called Shangqing Lake by the people to commemorate the kindness of the Shangqing Palace in Jiuxiao.

After drinking the earth water with the power of thunder and lightning that day, the people of the evil spirit all returned to normal, and they were grateful to the Taoist priests of the Qing Palace in the Nine Heavens, and knelt and knelt.

In the meantime, the people who lived in the yamen left one after another, Wang Yi's injuries gradually eased, and he also returned to his home to continue to recuperate.

Chen Dao has been out early and returned late in recent days, and Yu Xia has never seen him. Baili Yexi is bored, but he comes to find her every day.

"Let's go, go out with me." Baili Yexi has been studying Yu Xia's spirit beads recently, but there are some results, and when Xingtou came up, he came to her and asked her to accompany him to the market to buy some jade raw materials suitable for carving spirit beads.

Yu Xia stroked his forehead helplessly and put down the pen in his hand. Baili Yexi glanced at the rice paper she had laid out on the case, and pursed her lips disdainfully.

"As far as you are concerned, you can't make much progress after practicing for ten or eight years. Hurry up, come with me! ”

Yu Xia rolled his eyes, but he didn't care about him, washed his hands in the copper basin, wiped it with a cloth towel, and followed him out of the county office.

"You've run out of jade raw materials again?" Yu Xia bought a sugar gourd and bit it carefully, while casually asking Baili Yexi.

Baili Yexi glanced at her with disgust, her forehead jumped, and in the end, she only quietly pulled an arm away from her.

"The quality of the last batch of jade materials is too second, I am comparable to the cultivation of the fifth-grade Xuantai, and the spirit beads carved out can only accumulate the energy of the fourth-grade attack, which is a bit chicken for me."

Baili Yexi frowned, and couldn't help but start complaining, "It's all because your place is too dilapidated and too small, and you can't even buy some good things." ”

Yu Xia finally couldn't help it when he heard him say this, "Then you can leave, and no one asks you to stay here." ”

Baili Yexi's face froze, and she muttered in a low voice, "Are you willing to stay here?" ”

It's not to wait for his sanctimonious senior brother.

The jade shop in Jintan County has been patronized by Baili Yexi for most of the time, and almost all the stones that can make him look at him have been bought, and this time they went to a "Wanbao Zhai" in the west of the city.

Wan Bao Zhai is different from the previous shops, not only selling jade, but also many gold and silver jewelry. Baili Yexi went up to the second floor with the shopkeeper to pick up jade, Yu Xia was bored, and looked at gold and silver jewelry on the first floor.

She now has five hundred taels of silver to help Li Tong recover the glass bottle, as for the evil land this time, Yu Xia thought that this was a meritorious thing to do for the people of Jintan, and politely refused the honorarium given by Wen Yun.

With the silver in hand, Yu Xia has also become generous, and recently followed the hundred miles of night light to buy things. I bought a lot of rune paper, cinnabar and jade carving knives alone, and by the way, I also bought some four treasures of the study that were of acceptable quality.

She is now recuperating from her injuries and has nothing to do, and she is either studying drawing talismans and carving beads all day long, or practicing calligraphy. In peace, there is a lot of progress.

Deserted for many days, I want to come to this progress, and when I return to the school, I can make a difference.

Yu Xia thought about things and looked at them casually, and his eyes fell on a gorgeous and dazzling golden hairpin, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

This is a peony hairpin.

The hairpin needle is flat, the hairpin top is hammered out of layers of peony petals with thin gold sheets, and connected with gold wire, and the petals and leaves are engraved with fine lines, the layers are rich, and the grace is extreme.

Although Yu Xia was dressed ordinarily, the Baili Yexi who came with her was an extraordinary character at a glance, so the guys in the shop did not neglect her, and when she saw the hairpin for a while, he took the initiative to come forward, took off the hairpin and handed it to Yu Xia, and said with a smile:

"This girl, this is the twelve stacks of peony golden hairpins, the style passed from Yangzhou, you look at how meticulous the craftsmanship is, how realistic the patterns are, the whole Jintan County can get such a hairpin from my family."

Yu Xia carefully looked at the hairpin in his hand, and started to be heavy, and the golden peony flowers were shining with dazzling brilliance.

"How much does this hairpin cost?"

As soon as the guy saw that Yu Xia intended to buy it, a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face.

"This peony golden hairpin is unique in Jintan County, and the price is more expensive than ordinary hairpins, sixty taels of silver."

Sixty taels of silver is already a sky-high price for a farmer.

Ordinary farmers only use two or three taels of silver a year to chew, and Yu Xian's bundle in the school hall is only ten taels. Last time, her family earned fifty taels by selling Ganoderma lucidum, and except for the cost of binding, the rest was carefully saved by Yang Cuilian.

Sixty taels of silver to buy a golden hairpin is really a bit extravagant.

But Yu Xia hesitated for a moment, and finally paid for the hairpin.

For Xuanshi, making money is a very simple thing. But under normal circumstances, the money of the Xuanshi comes and goes quickly, and it is not the style of the Xuanshi to keep money.

At the beginning, the family was in difficulty, Yu Chun used the money she embroidered sachet handkerchiefs day and night to buy a plum blossom hairpin for her, and she said that she would buy a twelve-fold peony golden hairpin for Yu Chun in the future.

Now that she has the ability, why bother with the money?

The daughter is scattered and comes back, and the money can be regained if it is lost, but the pure and rich family affection needs to be cherished at all times.

The guy collected the money and carefully packed the golden hairpin into the wooden box, and Baili Yexi had already bought jade raw materials and led the shopkeeper downstairs.

In the courteous goodbye of the shopkeeper and the man, the two walked out of Wanbao Zhai.

"Hurry, hurry! The sun is about to set, so we need to get over there, don't let people run away for me!" ”

The group hurried out of the alley and hurried in this direction.

The leader was a man in a coarse cloth shirt, tall with bronzed skin, sleeves rolled up above the elbows, revealing muscular iron arms, covered with large and small burn scars, which were terrifying.

At this time, the man was urging the people who followed him with a fierce face.

He was followed by four men in gray coarse cloth shirts, who together carried a door panel covered with a patched quilt in which a man appeared to be lying.

Yu Xiazai carefully looked at the strong man who led the way, this person had a very narrow forehead, horizontal cheeks and teeth, thick eyebrows and evil eyes, and the corners of his eyes protruded. People with such a face are usually mercenary, bold, and irritable, and it is difficult to calm down when encountering things, so that they can solve problems by force.

Looking at his posture, he should be going somewhere to make trouble.

"Isn't this the blacksmith Zhang from Xinghua Lane?" Wan Bao Zhai's guy stood by the door and muttered suspiciously, "His old mother was sick a while ago, and she went to the west of the city to find the little immortal of the Shangqing Palace in Jiuxiao for treatment, what do you think of this, his mother is not good again?" ”
