Chapter 93: Exchanging Treasures for Charms
"Huh?"
Yang Jingbin's expression was a little confused, although he could understand these mysterious and mysterious words, but he didn't understand why Wen Shuo suddenly started chattering, could it be that in the preparation work before the calligraphy, there was another item that he had to enter the state of the god stick first?
Looking at Yang Jingbin's demeanor, Wen Shuo couldn't help but feel resentful, this guy didn't look like a teacher at all, I just started to implicitly mention money, he quickly pretended to be stupid, he was simply stingy-treacherous-deceitful!
You can't let me blatantly ask for money, right?
How embarrassing is that?
How can I be such a honest, honest and timid person...... Okay, this is because you Yang Jingbin is a teacher and pretends to be confused and wants to take advantage of me first, you can't blame me, who is a student who is not righteous, and recognizes money and not people! Wen Shuo gritted his teeth and said with some embarrassment: "Are you going to get me some funds?"
Yang Jingbin was stunned, and his expression changed.
"Forget it. Wen Shuo immediately showed a bitter, helpless and embarrassed look, shook his head and said, "The right should be used to repay the teacher's kindness." ”
"Don't ......" Yang Jingbin hurriedly asked, "How much is a talisman?"
"Oh, what kind of money is not money, isn't it outside the world when we ask money between teachers and students!" Wen Shuo was elated in his heart, thinking that it seemed that he had misunderstood Teacher Yang, and he was still quite knowledgeable. So the fat man said with a sneer: "The talismans are different, the price is different, like my level, the book talisman is full of spiritual energy, the effect is strong, and in the case of not encountering yin and evil, its storage duration can be up to two years." I have one thing to say, the evil amulet is really not a high-level talisman, a truly effective evil amulet, such as the talisman in my book, is estimated to be worth more than a thousand yuan, no more than two thousand yuan at most, and it also comes with a subtle method of folding. So, how can I be embarrassed to ask for your money, and besides, I don't do this profession either, if I collect money, wouldn't that be tantamount to acquiescing to being a god? No, no, no......"
Yang Jingbin is really honest, and because he has been engaged in special work such as archaeology and research for a long time, he is still a little bit withdrawn and weird in his personality. It was only out of curiosity about the unknown, curiosity about this student, and the great admiration of the famous wealthy collector Mr. Li Ningyu for metaphysics and that old Mr. Han that he hurriedly made some preparations under the impetus of the desire to explore and the eagerness to solve the archaeological mystery, wanting to verify and obtain some real runes that might be helpful for archaeological research.
However, the haste of preparation is inevitable!
I didn't even have any money ready!
And he never expected that metaphysical talismans, superstitious things, would have such an expensive price......
In Yang Jingbin's mind, Wen Shuo's kind, honest, simple and low-key character has been deeply imprinted, so for what the fat man is saying now, Teacher Yang, who is slightly lacking in emotional intelligence, is convinced, and his expression is becoming more and more embarrassed, and finally he said in a slur manner: "It's too difficult, this kind of thing, even if I help you apply for funds, it is impossible to be approved, and besides, you are only a freshman now, which is completely unqualified." I personally could buy it, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive, I ...... I actually don't have any money, I just bought a house a few days ago......"
"Look at you, I said I don't want any money. Wen Shuo said solemnly, as if Mr. Yang's words were simply an insult to his conduct.
"Yes, yes, but ......"
"Alright, alright, you go out first. Wen Shuo waved his hand with a big grin and said, "I can't be disturbed when I write talismans." ”
"Oh, okay, I'll go out first, don't disturb you......" Yang Jingbin showed gratitude, walked a few steps to the door, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Wen Shuo, this is approximately, how long will it take?" I'll ...... the door for you outside."
"An hour is enough, ten sheets?"
"Okay. Teacher Yang showed a pleading expression on his shy face, and said: "That, you don't just draw, oh no, don't just book amulets, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't write amulets or not, just book a few more books......
The fat man's bottom line was broken, and he immediately said angrily: "Charge!"
"But I don't have any money!"
The fat man really wanted to leave immediately, but after all, he was his own head teacher, and it was not easy to tear his face, let alone completely offend, so the fat man could hold the boat in his belly and said, "Then do you have anything valuable?"
"I ......"
"You are an archaeological expert, an expert in cultural relics, but don't tell me that you don't have a few treasures in your hands...... Wen Shuo squinted, stretched out his right hand forward, rubbed his thumb and index finger lightly, blinked his right eye obliquely, and raised his right eyebrow.
Yang Jingbin showed an incredulous expression, and said with obvious disappointment: "Wen Shuo, the teacher didn't expect you, you actually ......"
"I didn't expect you to ......" Wen Shuo huffed, looking even more disappointed.
So Yang Jingbin's unhappiness with Wen Shuo just dissipated quickly, and the image of the fat man who almost collapsed in his heart was erected firmly-upright - yes, he was too greedy, and Wen Shuo had already promised not to give the talisman in return, and Wen Shuo had seriously explained the runes in a few photos for him before, but he was a teacher, not to mention the cheapness, and he still had to inch in, alas.
"I'm sorry, I was greedy and excessive just now, and the teacher apologizes to you. Yang Jingbin simply apologized.
Wen Shuo didn't expect that this miserly and treacherous old pedant would be so upright, and he was honest and strict with his own body - what the world has done the most is to constantly put gold on his face, and what he lacks the most is precisely the openness and courage to admit his mistakes, so he often thinks that the gold pasted on his face is actually shit in the eyes of others.
Therefore, no matter how many shortcomings Yang Jingbin has in other aspects, this alone makes the fat man admire: "Teacher Yang's character is noble, second only to me!"
"Teacher Yang, what you said embarrassed me. The fat man sneered awkwardly.
Yang Jingbin waved his hand, walked back to the desk and sat down, took out the key to open a drawer at the bottom, took out a palm-sized mahogany box and put it on the desk, and after some hesitation, under the gaze of Wen Shuo, he finally gritted his teeth fiercely, opened the small lock on the box, lifted the lid, and gently unwrapped the layers of red silk, revealing a small dark yellow gourd, about the size of half a thumb, small and exquisite.
"What is this?" asked Wen Shuo, leaning over and curiously.
"Jade gourd pendant, old object ......" Yang Jingbin took out the jade gourd and held it in the palm of his hand, revealing a look of great love and reluctance, and looked around cautiously, as if he was worried about being seen by outsiders.
"Jade?" Wen Shuo pouted: "This thing doesn't look good at the first look, rough and spotted......"
Yang Jingbin's eyes immediately widened, and he rebuked angrily: "What do you know? This is a royal thing in the Yongle period, the best Tianhuang stone is finely carved, as for the brown spots that look rough on it, it is a witness of history, it is Yuqin...... Look carefully, the inside of this gourd pendant is empty, and the royal seal is still inside the gourd!"
"How much is it worth?" Wen Shuo asked with a disgraceful look at it.
"Money?" Yang Jingbin glared at him with disdain, and then sneered: "Ma Youcheng, the most famous collector in the capital, after passing the palm, I won't sell it if I give me 200,000 yuan! Wen Shuo, I have to say the ugly words in front, give you this gourd today, it is a mortgage, and I will redeem it when I have money in the future, you can't lose it or sell it for me! Then, I want a talisman for a thousand yuan each, right, you can use this money to write the talisman!"
"1,000 yuan is the price of family affection, is it good? And it's a low-level talisman to ward off evil spirits, you should all the talismans be so cheap?" Wen Shuo said angrily: "Besides, this thing is worth 200,000 yuan, yes, don't mortgage it with me, or give it to a rich collector to mortgage, let him give you 200,000 yuan first, and when you come back, you can give me 50,000, I will help you book ten different high-level talismans, and then give you ten talismans......"
"How many types of talismans do you know?"
"I haven't counted, there are probably dozens of them. Wen Shuo said casually - anyway, a layman like Yang Jingbin doesn't understand how profound the metaphysical runes are, it's not just as simple as drawing the runes with a pen - the strokes of the runes are slightly changed, and their effectiveness will be very different, and many runes have to be shared with other runes to form a magic circle to produce magic effects, not to mention, when reciting mantras when writing talismans, when using talismans in the altar practice, there are also different spells, hand duels and so on.
As soon as he heard that Wen Shuo knew dozens of runes, Yang Jingbin's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, and he nodded violently and said: "I gave you this Yongle royal jade gourd pendant, on the condition that you exchange all the runes of the runes you know!"
Wen Shuo didn't speak, and squinted at him condescendingly.
"I don't mean anything else, I only study runes......" Yang Jingbin realized that he had lost his temper just now, so he laughed embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that's the case, you don't have to do anything to set up an altar, and don't go to the sky to steal yin and yang, just draw the runes for me, and then write me a general explanation of the runes." ”
"It's not a secret. Wen Shuo said coldly.
"You can rest assured. Yang Jingbin's expression was serious, and he said with a little more cunning: "Metaphysical runes are superstitions, how can they be used in professional academic research? Therefore, if the research results are not obtained, I can't say it to make people laugh." Even if it succeeds in the future, it will be the ancient rune patterns found from the vast historical documents, and then through the strong and credible evidence from all sides, the academic results deduced and researched have nothing to do with your mystic runes. ”
Wen Shuo pouted and said, "In other words, once you have results in the future, you can achieve academic achievements and fame, but nothing does anything to me?"
Yang Jingbin was stunned, gritted his teeth and said: "If you can really succeed, I will give you a name!"
