Izakaya is a foreign word that originally meant a Japanese restaurant that usually served some quality meals and existed as a tavern. Known as the "Kingdom of Hot Springs" in Japan, its hot spring culture is very mature, and when this hot spring resort was first established, in order to attract consumers who follow the trend, it was directly borrowed, a large number of decorations are mainly Japanese, and even the restaurants that provide derivative consumption are elegantly named izakayas.

But in comparison, this small wooden building is more upscale and refined than ordinary izakayas.

It is said that it is a trade fair, but in fact, not many people participate.

When we showed our qualifications to participate in the meeting, we followed the waiter in good clothes, bypassed the smoky hot spring area, and entered the specially arranged izakaya, only to find that there were only about 30 people present, and most of them were beautiful lovers with flowers. In this nearly 150-tsubo izakaya, it looks very relaxed. In order to be afraid of shouting prices indiscriminately and causing the transaction to fail, we have remitted a margin of 200,000 yuan to Li Qing's designated account in advance yesterday, and the money will either be deducted from the payment or returned in the original amount after the end of the trade fair.

Also for security reasons, we were subjected to a strict body search before entering, and all weapons were strictly forbidden to enter.

Fortunately, we were prompted by Li Qing before, so we didn't make any taboos except for the rune paper utensils that we could use.

We have tried it before entering the venue, but the mobile phone signal has been blocked or interfered with, and we have lost contact with Cao Yanjun and Guoziface and others. Thinking that we were able to call Lao Cao in the locker room that day, I thought that some kind of equipment should be enabled, which was turned on from time to time.

Because it was a meal, the organizers prepared it very well, offering wine and pastries in the form of a buffet on a long snow-white table, as well as some high-end looking food, such as caviar and red lobster, for people to eat at will. Customers sit in groups of twos and twos, holding wine glasses and talking to each other, and in the very center, there is a small stage, and in front of it is a small booth with nothing on it.

Like all the big guys, Qingxu still didn't show up, the staff in charge of the reception were the staff of the hot spring villa, I didn't see the boss He Fatzi, there was a kind face of the green robe Taoist priest at the door to greet the guests, and Li Qing walked in ten minutes after we landed.

However, she obviously didn't think of us as real fat sheep, but just two friends who came to play out of curiosity, nodded slightly, and didn't come over to say hello. We also had a good time, took a glass of wine, and sat down to look at the customers who came to the venue. I am also a well-informed person, and I have seen countless people, and I can roughly tell the identity of a person from the way I dress.

Among these people, the most are shrewd wealthy businessmen, and there are also some professional brokers, errand runners, and leaders who are in public office and have a certain level, all kinds of colors, and the lovers around them are richly dressed, competing for beauty, and thousands of purples and thousands of reds.

This is a feast of wealth and power, and it is rare for me and Shamao Xiaodao to be empty-handed.

To be honest, Qingxu can be regarded as a very powerful talent, and it is really remarkable to be able to treat this talisman as a large-scale industry. You must know the Dao, not to mention these talismans in the Qi Gathering Town, but if there are some offensive talismans, you need some Dao power to be able to drive them. He can make so many well-dressed people flock to him, and the talismans such as Qi Fu, Juyun, Disaster Elimination, and Town House must be very reputable.

For example, Li Tangcheng bought the kind of jade talisman that hangs around the neck to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.

However, all of this is based on the strength of this anti-Beidou rushing formation.

Just as we were boredly looking at the buyers in this izakaya, the curtain at the open wooden door flipped, and five men with indifferent faces and sturdy bodies walked in, one of whom was carrying a huge wooden box, like a scholar rushing to take the exam in a costume drama. The leader of these five people is a man with a flowing black beard under his chin, and next to him is Zhu Jun, whom we met in the hot spring that day.

As soon as Zhu Jun came in, he swept the audience, and then soon saw me and Zamao Xiaodao who were drinking red wine and eating lobster in the corner, and he showed a look of extreme shock in his eyes, but soon he reined in, nodded slightly at me, and followed his partner to find a table in front of him and sat down, and then pointed to our side, and said a few words to the black-bearded man, who turned his head and hugged his fists at us.

I nodded in return with Miscellaneous Hairy Trail.

Judging from the attitude on their faces, it is clear that there is no hostility towards us, and in this case, it is more in line with our plans.

I stared at the huge wooden box they were carrying, and the things that could be brought in through the security check were naturally related to the transaction, perhaps the barefoot double-eared tripod that Qingxu needed the most. However, others don't know, but I know the way, Xiaojun They were almost wiped out in the black bamboo ditch, and they escaped for their lives, where did they come from? I'm afraid that the contents of this wooden box are simply a fake.

I reckon that with the kind of counterfeiting that they have been dealing with antiquities dealers for many years, they may be able to be vivid and almost unrealistic.

It was at this time that several people rushed in through the side door inside, the first one wearing a navy blue wide robe, with lips as thin as a small sword, was the Qingxu Dao Chang we had been looking for.

His appearance immediately won the attention of everyone in the field, and everyone stood up and applauded, and the applause was loud.

Facing the greetings of these people, Qingxu looked very personable, walked to the door and waved all the way to the small booth, cleared his throat, and then spread his hands evenly, and waited for everyone to stop the noise before he began to speak. This is a long word, to the effect that he thanked everyone, and then said that because of his limited Dao power, the spirit talisman he makes every year is very rare, but there are too many people who want to ask him for talismans, and they are all friends, so he held this small party, and invited the big guys to come together and make a fair talisman, so as not to be unfair and hurt everyone's face.

After saying this, Qingxu made a gesture, then sat down next to him and talked softly with Li Qing and the others beside him.

The trade fair began, and the person who presided over the scene was the green-robed Taoist who greeted the guests earlier.

His robe was worn and old, and there were still some stains on it, but he didn't care, and came up to the stage to make a gesture, explaining to everyone here the origin of the talisman and its miraculous effects. I had taken an Amway training course a long time ago, and when I saw his chattering state, I couldn't help but think of the previous Amway lecturer, who seemed to be in exactly the same state, like mental hypnosis.

To tell the truth, Taoist talismans, tranquil towns, preventing small, etc., do have some effects, and then like the transfer he boasted about, everything is related to luck and extremely effective things, it is really a bit nonsense.

Why? Everything has a cause and effect, planting good causes gets good results, evil causes get evil results, we are all fish swimming in the river of fate, occasionally some can jump out of the water, look at the scenery on the shore, see the direction of the road ahead, but after all, they can't get out of the river, and will eventually go downstream, all the way downstream, until death. No one can change – maybe someone can, but it's basically beyond our ordinary horizons.

The reason why I think so is because I can make talismans myself, I am a person in the industry, I know the principles and laws, but others don't know it, and I heard this Taoist who called himself Qingdong blowing the sky, and all kinds of cases of promotion and wealth were thrown out one by one, which made people breathe heavily when they listened to it, and they wanted to buy one to study it.

However, after all, there are rational people in this world, and the old foxes in the audience are quietly waiting for Qingdong to start explaining the rules of the talisman.

The invitation is not a selling character, so it can't be too markety, but in the form of a secret mark. That is to say, when you see the talisman you like and need, you will fill in the list on the table with the requested price, and then put it into the camera obscura, and after completion, after being verified by someone, the one with the highest price will win.

The hall was burning with sandalwood, and after a "Infinite Heavenly Venerable" slogan, the invitation meeting officially began.

Paper talismans, bamboo talismans, peach talismans, jade talismans, different effects, different uses, put down in the sandalwood tray of yellow silk cloth, there is a very mysterious color, Qingdong Taoist is a good eloquent auctioneer, whenever there is a fair-eyed Taoist boy with a talisman up, he will explain the use of this thing, suitable for people, production materials and production difficulty, one by one, let people gush out of the desire to buy from the heart.

An Land Rune, Recommendation Death Rune, Luo Zhenjun Rune, Golden Light Rune, Doumu Xuanling Secret Rune......

This one after another we are familiar with the name of the symbol will be read out, and then it is used by the way of secret shooting, to invite away, everyone who has obtained the secret mark is jubilant, some people even can't suppress the excitement in their hearts and cheer loudly, as if they are in the stock market. Because the price is not announced, we don't know how much the transaction amount is in the road, in order not to arouse suspicion, when the peachwood refined land rune came out, the miscellaneous hair trail filled 100,000 into the camera obscura, but the blisters did not turn up, I know that the game of the road, we really can't afford to play.

The 200,000 deposit, to be honest, almost emptied half of my savings.

The trade fair was still in full swing, and Qingxu, who was sitting on the side of the front, was smiling, with a pampered and unfazed demeanor.

Xiaojun didn't buy any of them, they all had gloomy faces, looked at the dazzling talismans, and didn't speak.

At the end of the fair, Qingdong pointed to a piece of crystal clear mutton fat nephrite, foaming at the mouth and saying something, when suddenly in our northeast direction, there was an angry roar that did not look like a human being, and the wind whined. My heart jumped, and I turned my head to look outside, only to see the black fog rolling, as far as my eyes could see, and the street lamp that was always on actually flashed and flashed, as if it was going to be blown out by the demon wind.

Northeast direction...... Isn't it the central computer room?
