Chapter 35: The One-Eyed Old Man in Santu Lane
Boss: "What do you want?" ”
Me: "Cinnabar, black dog blood, three zhang red rope, two feet of yellow silk cotton cloth, a handful of glutinous rice, a willow wood ink bucket, a Tai Chi gossip bronze mirror, grass pulp black paper give me two knives ......"
The boss waved his hand to interrupt me: "Do you want to prepare another peach wood sword or copper coin sword for you?" ”
I said, "I don't want a peachwood sword, I want a copper coin sword, a ...... made of one hundred and eight copper coins of the Five Emperors."
The boss said impatiently: "...... Early in the morning, I had a neuropathy to find fault. I can see clearly, I am selling coffins and shrouds, not a Taoist logistics office. ”
I was a little stunned.
How could there not be?
Didn't the person on the Internet say he bought it around here? Isn't this one?
I didn't give up, and went from house to house along the alley. Basically, it was either blasted out as a neuropathy, or someone was asked with a smile: "Big brother, didn't you take medicine!" ”
I'll go to his uncle's. Now you people treat me as a tease, if Lao Tzu doesn't kill that ghost baby as soon as possible, as soon as the Tianlong Town corpse formation is broken, and the thousand-year-old zombie king sees the light of day again, whoever is the tease will know.
Anger is anger, things still have to be found.
At the end of the alley, there is a very small store, which is obviously flat, and you have to go up three steps, step one foot and two thresholds, and then you can enter.
There was an old man who was blind in one eye, drawing the face of the paper figure.
The light in the room was very dim, and the one-eyed old man lit a white candle on the incense table, and the face of the paper man was extremely realistic, as if he was about to come to life. The atmosphere was eerie.
I stood in the doorway and couldn't help but say, "If the painting is too similar, will it cause dirt?" ”
The one-eyed old man paused, stopped for three seconds, didn't look back, didn't even look at me, and said coldly: "It's not open today, get out!" ”
Like a slap in the face, at this time, a girl of the same age as me came in, and shouted sweetly: "Grandpa Sun, my grandmother is going to the grave, do you still have gold ingots and dark coins?" ”
One-eyed old man: "In the corner, take it yourself." ”
The girl took the things she wanted to use, she was familiar with the way, she was obviously a regular customer, she knew the price, handed over more than thirty yuan, and then said goodbye and left.
I said, "No, old man, didn't you say it's not open?" ”
The one-eyed old man grimaced again, and then drew his paper figure: "Don't do your business." ”
I was depressed: "Why? ”
One-eyed old man: "No, why. ”
I was a little anxious: "Old man, I bought things to save people." As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, you can do it well. ”
The one-eyed old man was silent for a while, and snorted coldly again: "What do you want?" ”
I said: "Three taels of cinnabar, three zhang of red rope, two feet of yellow silk cotton cloth, a handful of glutinous rice, a willow wood ink bucket, a Taiji gossip bronze mirror, grass pulp and black paper give me two knives, and black dog blood and the Five Emperors copper coin sword." ”
The one-eyed old man rolled his eyes at me for a moment, and then drew the paper figure: "Taoist temple or mountain?" ”
I was stunned: "What? ”
The one-eyed old man frowned: "Those who go south, or those who go north?" ”
I became more and more confused: "What? ”
The one-eyed old man snorted coldly and didn't raise his head: "It turned out to be a white-necked one." ”
I understand that. White-necked is our dialect here, which means that bullshit doesn't understand, pure layman rookie.
The first two sentences of this old man are codes......
I said, "Old Man Sun, don't ask. I'm in a hurry to get these things to save my life. When I beg you, will it be done? ”
The one-eyed old man: "There's nothing that can't be done, as long as the money is enough." ”
I've already let it go. There are more than 2,000 yuan in my pocket, which is the pocket money that Jiang Wenchuan gave me casually a few days ago. It's a big deal to spend it all, and this ghost baby must also be removed. Compared with money, of course, life is important.
I patted my pocket and said, "Money is not a problem!" ”
The one-eyed old man: "Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, no credit cards, only cash." ”
I almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Why don't you grab it. These things I want, except for the copper coins and swords, how can they be valuable? Even if the copper coin, sword, gold and silver thread are worn, it won't be used much.
But when I ask someone to do something, I have to be polite: "Old man, don't fool me, I have also seen people selling these things on the Internet, how can the price be so exaggerated." If I wasn't in a hurry, I wouldn't have run over here. ”
The one-eyed old man turned his head, staring at me with dead fish-like eyes, which made my back feel a little chill inexplicably, he just looked at me for three minutes, and suddenly spoke: "What year was born?" ”
Me: "Ninety-eight years." ”
One-eyed old man: "What month is the lunar calendar?" ”
Me: "September. ”
One-eyed old man: "What time is the first time?" ”
Me: "The ninth day of the first month." ”
One-eyed old man: "When?" ”
I hesitated. I'm here to buy something, he's selling something. We are in business, and we need to know the eight characters of birth to do business? Once, I read a novel in which there was a Taoist master who knew a person's birth date and could do a lot of bad things.
There was a very strange and uncomfortable feeling in this old man. Ask me about my birthday, is it intended to harm me?
But I don't have any money, and I'm not a beauty. I have no grievances with him, what does he do to me?
The one-eyed old man seemed to see what was on my mind, snorted coldly, and continued to draw paper figures without looking back, "I have everything you want." You didn't ask for it, I have it too. If you want to take these things away, you want to see if your life is hard enough, your life is as thin as paper, and you will die in the twilight of life, what will you do? ”
I gritted my teeth and let go: "Okay, I said, three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”
The one-eyed old man's hand shook suddenly, and the paper figure that had been almost drawn instantly took on makeup, and he sat motionless, as if he had become a wooden man.
I cautiously shouted, "Old man? ”
The one-eyed old man stood up suddenly, walked into the inner room, half a sound, took out a bag, handed it to me, an old face was wrinkled, and his shriveled lips squirmed for a while, and he stopped talking.
I don't care what he's thinking, why is it abnormal. I opened the bag and double-checked, I had everything I wanted, and it was all inside. I didn't ask for anything, and sure enough, I didn't lack it.
I thanked you very much: "Old man, you are really a good person. This was a great help to me. I have about 2,000 pieces on me, and I'll leave them all for you. ”
The one-eyed old man: "You can't lose a penny of money." To say ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. ”
I'm full of black lines, Ao, dare you take these things out purely to covet me, right?
The one-eyed old man asked, "Can you afford it?" ”
I honestly shook my head.
The one-eyed old man snorted coldly: "The thing is already in your hands, why don't you run if you can't afford it?" ”
