Chapter 191: Millennial Water Lilies

Under the leadership of Xia Xue, Mu Yuan went to a small place called Liudaowan in a corner of Yuzhong District, since the Republic of China, it is a place to sell old goods, but with the development and impact of the times, there have been several depressions here, but the business of the old goods market has never really been interrupted.

The so-called six bends refer to the six slopes that twist and turn in the street, each of which extends into a small alley, and it is now also a bustling area, with various shops opening on both sides of the street.

From the moment she entered this thrift market, Xia Xue's arrogant temperament was completely gone, and she suddenly became a child, seeing everything fresh and curious, almost every store had to go into it and walk around. As for Long Ling'er, not to mention, her favorite is this kind of place.

"Two eldest ladies, let's go get down to business first!" Muhara urged helplessly.

"What's the hurry, the shop here doesn't close until midnight, it's still early!" Xia Xue waved her hand and didn't raise her head.

At this moment, she and Long Ling'er were squatting next to a stall in the middle of the road, which was densely filled with villain books and old posters, which reminded Mu Yuan of his childhood. At that time, Mu Yuan's father Mu Hongde was a construction worker, doing manual work in the countryside to build houses and walls, whenever the old house was demolished, Mu Hongde paid special attention to those old books and newspapers, he collected these things and took them home to Mu Yuan, which has a lot of villain books.

In the years when his family was poor, this was Makinohara's favorite reading material, and it was also his only reading, and to this day, he still keeps those books and magazines and pictorials.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuan was a little sad, he hurriedly turned his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, in order to soothe his mood, just at this turn of his head he suddenly saw a strange plaque - Kuangrugu Valley.

This name comes from "Lao Tzu", the original text is: the ancient goodness is the Taoist, subtle and mysterious, deep and unrecognizable. The husband is not only unknowable, so he is forcible to be tolerant; Yu Xi Ruo Dong wading Sichuan; Fearful of his neighbors; Treat yourself like a guest; Sluggish and unrelenting; Simplicity; The valley is like a valley; Muddy; Who can turbid and quiet Xu Qing? Who can live in peace? Those who keep this way do not want to make a profit. The husband is not profitable, so it can be concealed and new.

Lin Zexu, a politician in the late Qing Dynasty, may best express this meaning in a pair of hall couplets inscribed in the Governor's Palace, that is: the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great; The wall is thousands of feet, and there is no desire to be rigid.

Thinking of this, Makihara's troubles just now disappeared at once, and he quickly arrived at the front of the store. This is a decoration of the antique shop, the store is not big, that is, forty or fifty square meters, there are three or four shelves in the store, which is full of all kinds of strange things, among which Taoist supplies are the majority, Mu Yuan even saw a few talismans in the window.

"Yo, little brother, I want to see something!" A young man in his twenties greeted him, looking a little thin, very shrewd, wearing a thickened Tang suit, with a smile on his face and a happy face when he spoke.

"Oh, I'll take a look!" Makihara responded with a smile, "I want to see a magic weapon or something!" ”

"Do you want to have a home, or do you want to do things outside?" The guy didn't look down on the other party because of Mu Yuan's youth, but he was a little respectful between his words.

"It's a family!" Makihara replied, a short conversation, and he became more and more interested in this store.

Although he has not been in the thrift market for a long time, Mu Yuan has also visited a few stores, and the guys in the first few stores are either trying their best to sell goods, or staring at the customers from a distance, and there is no one like the one in front of him. There are a lot of people in this shop, old and young, and even a few very beautiful girls, but this guy didn't run up to offer his courtesy, but instead set his eyes on Mu Yuan at a glance.

"Could it be that you see that you have something to do with the Xuanyi Realm?" Mu Yuan thought in his heart, so he asked, "What do you call the eldest brother?" ”

"Yo, you're welcome!" The shopkeeper hurriedly laughed, "My surname is Dun, my name is Dun Ruopu, you can call me Xiao Dun, you can call me Xiao Pu, this big brother doesn't dare to be!" ”

Mu Yuan smiled, presumably this should be just a pseudonym, so he smiled and said: "You are a few years older than me, and you should be called Brother Sheng, so I will call you Brother Dun!" ”

Dun Ruopu smiled and didn't say anything more humble.

"Brother Dun, your name and the name of this store are really interesting!" Mu Yuan said, "If I guess correctly, it should be taken from "Lao Tzu", the so-called Dunxi is simple, and the valley is wild! ”

"The little brother is really amazing, it seems that he has read a lot of books!" Dun Ruopu gave a thumbs up, "I won't tell you anything, this shop belongs to my teacher, he first had this shop, and then accepted a few of our apprentices, so we called it down according to this name!" ”

"Oh, I see!" Mu Yuan nodded, while walking around the shop, in just two minutes, he had already finished reading a few objects, these are with mana, presumably the things in this store are really not handicrafts, but have a certain practical value.

"Brother Muyuan, what are you looking at?" Before the voice fell, Long Ling'er jumped in.

"Yo, two of you, please come in!" Dun Ruopu hurriedly greeted.

Mu Yuan paid attention to it, Guo Ruopu's eyes just glanced at Xia Xue, and then he focused all his attention on Long Ling'er's body, this subtle action made Mu Yuan confirm his thoughts, it seems that this Dun Ruopu can really recognize the identity of the guest.

Long Ling'er didn't feel anything when she first entered the store, but when she looked at a few things, she became a little cautious, but Xia Xue didn't change much, and she still looked at the things in the window with a curious look.

"Hey, what is this?" Xia Xue suddenly shouted, her finger pointing at something in the glass window, "How does it look like a lotus seed!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Yuan and Long Ling'er also came over, accompanied by several other guests, most of them came here to relax and watch the excitement, and when they saw someone discovering something new, they naturally wouldn't miss it.

Xia Xue pointed to a glass cabinet more than one meter high, which was paved with yellow silk, and there was a lotus pod in the middle. There are many holes in the lotus pod, and there is a lotus seed in each hole, but these lotus seeds are either wilted or there is only an empty shell left, and only the middle one is full and huge, firmly buried in the lotus pod.

"Isn't it just a lotus pod!" Long Ling'er said disdainfully.

Mu Yuan didn't speak, but looked curiously at the base of the lotus canopy, because there was still a talisman under the lotus canopy.

"This is not an ordinary lotus pod, this is a thousand-year-old water lily!" Dun Ruopu said cautiously, "Do you see the lotus seed in the middle?" My teacher said that as long as someone is destined to appear, it can sprout and take root again! ”

"Really? I think it's all fossils, how can it sprout and take root! Long Ling'er leaned in front of the window, and shook the silver bell in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, and after waiting for a while, he involuntarily pursed his lips, "Cut, it's a lie!" ”

Dun Ruopu didn't open his mouth to refute, but instead stared at Long Ling'er's wrist curiously, he twisted his eyebrows, looking thoughtful.

"Hey, talk about you!" Long Ling'er pulled down her cuffs and blocked the silver bell, "How can you prove it?" ”

"How do you prove it?" Guo Ruopu was stunned, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while, and waited for a long time before saying: "Only if someone is destined to come, it will naturally react!" ”

Xia Xue didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily twitched, this set of words of the guy is very similar to those who set up a stall at the gate of the temple to tell the fortunes, although it is very reasonable and unfathomable to say it, but anyone can hear that this is a lie.

"This is a seed of Lotus and Lotus!" "If there are identical twins present, it will react! ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of boos, there are indeed a lot of people in this thrift market, and it is not too much to describe them as shoulder to shoulder, but how can twins be so easy to find, the words of the store guy are obviously specially used to cover up.

But before everyone's boos stopped, a voice rang out.

"Then let's try it!"
