Where there are Chinese, there is Chinatown, Edinburgh is no exception, although it is just a small community where Chinese live, people are still used to calling it Chinatown, Edinburgh's Chinatown is very small, far less than London, New York and other big cities Chinatown, at a glance, hanging high traditional Chinese signboards, or let Wang Xiaohu and a few people feel a little cordial.

On both sides of the street, there are most Chinese restaurants, followed by massage bones, there are two Chinese medicine shops, go in and ask, there is no cinnabar, helpless to come out, wander around, Shenxu suddenly pointed to a small shop and said: "That one sells shrouds, it is estimated that there should be something Xiaohu wants, go and see?" ”

Wang Xiaohu looked in the direction pointed by Shen Xu, a small door face on the right, with a sign hanging on it, Fuyuan groceries, the fame is quite rich, the façade is really a little flattering, the small one is pitiful, there are two very fashionable models on the window, a man and a woman, but they are wearing gloomy black clothes, and the handiwork is rough.

Can such a shop have cinnabar and yellow paper? Wang Xiaohu has doubts, it's not that he is picky, it is really the yellow paper used to draw talismans can not be fooled, the yellow five elements belong to the earth, in the center, and have the meaning of dominating the Quartet; At the same time, it is related to internal refining, and it is necessary to know that the talisman must be effective, and it must be supplemented by internal refining true qi, otherwise there are many drawbacks. Yellow is the color of the royal use, the symbol, the law of the emperor and the gods, and the color of the royal use is used to show dignity and efficacy.

Wang Xiaohu took the lead in pushing open the door of the shop, and saw that there were three rows of shelves inside, with everything, drinks, snacks, all kinds of groceries, just like a domestic two-dollar store, and a young man in his twenties was sitting in the place where the money was collected. With unkempt hair, he was playing games with his mobile phone down, and the guests didn't even raise their heads.

Be cautious and lean in. said hello: "Dude, do you sell cinnabar, yellow paper or anything like that?" ”

Pure Beijing film, that kid couldn't help but look up, and saw Brother Shenxu, all of whom were yellow-skinned, and his spirits perked: "Yo." Are you here for a tour? ”

Chinese are the most fond of their homeland, especially abroad, and see people from home. Naturally, there is a kind of kindness, but as soon as this guy looked up, Gao Qi couldn't help frowning, and saw that his face was pale. Very thin. It's a bit weak, and his eyes are bright.

"Yes, the brothers came out to play, do you have cinnabar and yellow paper to sell?" Shen Xu asked again.

"You've really found the right place, all of Edinburgh, you really can't buy these things anywhere else except for mine." Talking. got up and took Wang Xiaohu and a few people to the back and walked to the back of the store. I opened a door, pulled the light, and asked, "What do you want, pick it yourself." ”

Wang Xiaohu looked inside, wreaths, paper figures, dark coins, piled up a warehouse, some Buddhist and Taoist statues are also placed on the shelves, all kinds of feng shui magic utensils are complete, it seems that this store is operating groceries on the surface, but the inside is selling these things, looking at a room of dark utensils, it feels like returning to the domestic coffin shop, and can't help but say: "Is there a market for these things sold abroad?" ”

"You don't know this, let's Chinese believe in this set, every New Year's holiday, find a place where no one burns secretly, the farther away from the homeland, the more persistent you are to these, burn more paper, let the ancestors bless the ...... who are safe and secure in a foreign land" Shen Xu chatted with that buddy, and soon knew his name, Lao Mu, twenty-one this year, Cantonese, immigrated to the UK with his family last year, and supported a family by selling these spiritual weapons, and also opened a chain store, Edinburgh, this small storefront, is the first branch of the family, and the only branch.

Although the business is not strong, but it is still barely able to support, Lao Mu does not like to go to school, hang the child, his father has no choice but to send the store to come, let him try the hardships of life, but this kid does not have that consciousness at all, except for playing is playing, what is fun and fun, skiing and surfing, playing football, soaking in the night field...... Visiting the store is basically three days of fishing, and two days of drying nets.

Brother Wang Xiaohu is a few points, last night Lao Mu just played all night, slept until the afternoon before getting up, and did not have the energy to continue to go out to toss, just sit in the store, it happened that Wang Xiaohu came to buy something, and after a while, he became familiar with Lao Mu, listening to Lao Mu's meaning, this kid is still the descendant of Maoshan, and he also took some work like watching feng shui, I don't know if it's really fake, anyway, it's blowing quite big.

Wang Xiaohu didn't have the heart to talk nonsense, he carefully looked at the magic weapons in the warehouse, the peach wood sword gossip mirror and the like, and looked at them one by one, none of them worked, there was no aura at all, especially the peach wood sword, he didn't know what wood was carved at all, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Where is your cinnabar and yellow paper?" ”

"There are still some cinnabars, what kind of yellow paper do you want?"

"To be able to draw symbols, the best is the best." As soon as Wang Xiaohu said this, Lao Mu's eyes lit up and asked, "Are you a Taoist disciple?" ”

"I'm Wang Xiaohu of the Lingbao Sect."

"My own family members have come to the door, but I can't fool you. To tell you the truth, the things in the store are all fooling, anyway, the people here buy it back as a psychological comfort, and they don't know the goods, but what are you buying these things for, do you want to exorcise evil spirits? ”

Wang Xiaohu pointed at William Lin and said: "This is the cousin of Prince William today, the owner of Qilin Castle, his family is going to hold a ghost festival, wizards and mages from all over the world are coming, I think let's have a good time, and let these wild people see the magic of our Taoist spells, and let's see if there is cinnabar or anything like that." ”

As soon as Lao Mu heard that there was such a fun thing, he hurriedly leaned over and said: "My buddy is also a Taoist heir, my ancestor is from the Maoshan faction, and he knows a few tricks, can you take me one on this Halloween?" ”

Wang Xiaohu's heart moved, if it was really like what this kid said, the ancestors were Maoshan Yixin, there must be some ancestral magic weapons, now he is empty-handed, if he can borrow a few things for temporary use, it is better than bare-handed, his eyes rolled and said: "Come on, this is not a thing, but our buddies don't have a suitable guy in their hands now, so I'm afraid that others will look down on him." ”

"That's what I said, you didn't take advantage of it, you didn't meet me, and when you met me, you have everything, so, you take cinnabar back first, you leave the address to me, I went to London overnight, I wrote everything you wanted, and I will send it to you in person tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Okay, if you meet a real person, then let's make a decision, let's take a look at cinnabar first." Wang Xiaohu's words are really from the bottom of his heart, he didn't have much confidence to buy these things, but he never thought to meet a real person, it was real, Lao Mu was praised by him, more and more real, rummaging in the warehouse for a long time, turned out a porcelain bottle, handed it to Wang Xiaohu and said: "This is the best cinnabar, you see." ”

Wang Xiaohu took it, poured it out a little bit on the palm of his hand, and looked at it by the light, the color was bright red, with King Kong luster, it was indeed a good cinnabar, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and said: "I want it, how much?" ”

Lao Mu didn't say how much, stared at the beads and asked, "How many days do you hold Halloween?" ”

Wang Xiaohu pondered for a while and said, "At least three days, but it is estimated that there are some evil things." ”

"I'm afraid it's not evil, so let's do it, I won't collect the money, I won't buy tickets for Halloween, I won't buy tickets for your holiday, eat and drink for nothing, play for nothing, what do you think?"

Wang Xiaohu turned his head to look at William Lin, I don't know how he arranged it, whether he could arrange it, Lao Mu thought that Wang Xiaohu felt that it was not worth it, and hurriedly said: "I really don't have much money on me, so let's do it, the yellow paper you want, buddy will give it away for free, it is guaranteed to be a good bamboo paper, and then steal a few pieces of my father's magic weapon, and I will return it secretly when I run out, so it's always okay." ”

It's all like this, Wang Xiaohu has anything else to say, and patted Lao Mu's shoulder: "Deal!" ”

Lao Mu was so happy that he was about to dance, let Wang Xiaohu take a fancy to something, don't be polite to him, who let the buddy be real, Wang Xiaohu is really not polite, but Lao Mu's store is really useless, so he took some paper money, and told Lao Mu the address of the castle when he left, so that he could arrive as soon as possible tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is Halloween, the guests should come to the door, it will be too late to be late.

Lao Mu patted his chest at the moment, reassuring Wang Xiaohu that he would drive to the London head office in a while, and it would be delivered tomorrow. After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaohu saw that it was not early, and was about to go back to the castle, Lao Mu personally sent it to the door, and stuffed a bottle of water for everyone to drink on the way, and reluctantly watched Wang Xiaohu and a few brothers drive away.

The car drove far away, Wang Xiaohu asked Geng Jianyang: "Do you think that kid from Lao Mu is reliable?" ”

Geng Jianyang hadn't spoken yet, Gao Qi said: "Maoshan is prosperous, let's not talk about it in China, there are branch altars everywhere abroad, the Qinghui faction and the Lingbao faction are incomparable with others, Lao Mu seems to have learned a few hand Taoism methods, it should be true." ”

Geng Jianyang smiled and said: "Of course it's true, that kid's eyes are almost straight when he looks at you, and it is estimated that his brother does not have such a big face, Lao Mu is so concerned, I look at it mostly because of you." ”

"Yes, yes, I also see that something is wrong, that kid talks to me and his eyes are always drifting towards Gao Qi, I guess he has taken a fancy to Officer Gao, tsk, it seems that Officer Gao is going to have an exotic relationship, by the way, William, didn't you say that you were going to hold a party? Is there a party for Scottish beauties? ”

William Lin glared at Shen Xu: "Halloween, such a big party, those tourists and people who join in the fun will come, it's not small, as for the beauty, it depends on your ability." ”

William Lin and Shen Xu were arguing there, but Wang Xiaohu was muttering about Halloween, what should I do on Halloween, as William Lin said, there are a lot of people who will come at that time, how to protect him? Thinking about it, there is no good way to do it, but to paste a few yellow talismans on William Lin's body and let him not leave him for a moment, and that can only be the case.

The loop is long, the sky has already darkened, Wang Xiaohu looked at the deep dark night, feeling that the wind and rain were coming. (To be continued......)
