Chapter 34: The Old Merchant's Little Abacus
Ask for recommendations, ask for clicks, have been in poor health recently, and don't want to die young. So there has been no codeword. I'm sorry, folks. Make up on weekends
=======================================
"What's in there?" Brother Bei was very surprised when he saw Sansmozi's expression, so he asked.
Sanssouci didn't answer him, but continued to tap and touch the safe.
After a while, he gave up, and his face instantly became haggard. Slowly, he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that this old man looked miserable, I couldn't bear it, so I helped him into his seat.
"What the hell is missing?" Even the old merchant was a little impatient and asked eagerly.
"Ghost Door Key."
"What! Ghost door key? Are you old and confused, this thing in this kind of place? ”
The old merchant was very surprised when he heard this, and scolded loudly.
Just shook his head, and the old man didn't refute it after being trained.
"What's the ghost key?"
I didn't know anything about it, so I asked Brother Be.
"Legend has it that the connection between the human world and hell is closed tightly, so that the Three Realms will not be disturbed, and this gate is called the 'Ghost Gate', and it is located in the Ghost Gate, which is a pass of the underworld that has been passed down from mouth to mouth for generations. And this key is the only device that can open this buddy, but I didn't expect it to be real. ”
After listening to Brother Bei's explanation, Wu Geng and Dai Qianqian also nodded.
"How's it going out there now?" Sanssouci asked the old merchant with a particularly weak look.
"It's controlled for the time being, but it's weird. After arriving with dozens of our onmyoji, they didn't see any unusual behavior. It's just that there was an explosion at the formation, and the twelve-style gods were forcibly recalled just after stepping into the forest. It seems that they have been preparing for a long time. Presumably it was already inevitable."
"Hey, I'm really old and confused, I actually fell for their trick from the mountain."
The old merchant and the carefree son were talking to each other, and we listened to it half-understood.
Seeing that Wuwuzi was still blaming himself, the old merchant stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "I don't know what purpose they stole the 'ghost door key', we should be more careful." ”
"Lu Xing, now I'll give you a mission."
At this moment, the old merchant suddenly turned his head to look at me, but his expression did not have the hip-hop energy of the past, and he was very strict.
"Huh? What's wrong? "I'm going, how suddenly I come and how strict, so that I don't have to relax.
"Now you go back to this world, take care of your affairs first, and then I will go back to you."
"Huh? What else do I have? ”
"One, Xiuyu."
Xiuyu, what jade? After thinking about it, all my jade is the carved dragon jade with plates hanging around my neck. So, I took it out and looked at it.
Sure enough, on my jade, I don't know when it was already covered with channeling cracks, and it was extremely broken. It is estimated that after such a long battle, the man in black was hit hard by another punch just now.
The old merchant took out a familiar cigarette case from his sleeve and said to me, "When I found you just now, I found that your piece of jade was already unrecognizable. It seems that you are also not protecting it well. It just so happens that when you go to repair jade, take this piece of jade and merge it into one by the way. In this way, the beast of the jade town, Kui Long, can be completely recovered, and the energy of the jade will be even stronger. ”
Kui Long? It should be the animal carved on my jade, right?
"Then where should I go to fix it?"
When I grew up, I only heard of buying and selling jade, but I never heard of repairing jade.
"You go back first, and I'll give you the address when the time comes."
"Then you only said one, which means that there is something else, right? What else do I have to do? ”
I think he said that.
"Second, and most importantly. Things that must be done before you cultivate jade. ”
I thought about it, but I couldn't think of it, and stared at the old merchant in confusion.
"Your college entrance examination results are out, you can see if you have entered any university." ……
After listening to the second important thing of the old businessman, I was speechless for a moment.
I thought it was such a crucial thing, but I didn't expect it to be just a big thing. Although my academic performance was not good, it was not too bad. It may be a bit difficult to get into a prestigious university, but it is still easy to get into a regular university.
I was almost determined not to go to school anymore. Unexpectedly, the old merchant said this at this time.
“…… Is this very important, you have to be an onmyoji, and you still have hairy blood. Are you stupid? I stepped forward, patted the old merchant's fat belly, and teased.
"Knowledge changes destiny. Do you understand? ”……
I looked at the old merchant in disbelief, but I didn't expect this sentence to come out of his mouth. I thought that the old merchant was a person who was lazy and idle all day long. I didn't expect such a sentence to pop up on me today. You can imagine how shocked I was.
But he also has some truth in saying that. Looking at the two friends I met here, I seemed to think that the old merchant was very reasonable, and they also nodded one after another.
"And when am I leaving?"
I said helplessly.
"Now is it, let's go." Seeing that the old businessman was resolute, I couldn't say anything, so I could only nod in agreement.
"Let's go, I'll send you." After seeing that I agreed, the old merchant pulled me out the door. Wu Geng and Dai Qianqian were still taking care of Wuwuzi, and Brother Bei was also slowly following.
As I descended the stairs, my heart was heavy.
Not only because I suffered so much, but also because I found that the old merchant still cared about me very much. To be honest, I was still a little touched in my heart.
"Come, land execution. I'll borrow this phone for you first. Yours broke anyway. "Anyway, the old man threw me a mobile phone, the style is very old. But for me, it's just right to use.
"When you get there, go and help me deal with some cases and make some money first."
Yes?
"What case?" I asked, puzzled.
"You stupid, you don't have any money right now. I couldn't get out of the way when this happened, and my salary was basically lost. Go home, so I want you to make some money, and I'll give you a little bit of benefits this time, how about a nineteen points? Remember, the rest of the money was punched in my bank card. ”……
It turns out that this is the so-called big thing. I didn't expect the old merchant to pretend to be so righteous in front of Ling Ran, but he just asked me to help him go back and make money.
Khan, sure enough, an old businessman is an old businessman......
