Chapter 39 The Shopkeeper

I think back to half a year ago, in order to participate in the introductory disciple assessment, I also settled in the "cyclamen house" in Fang City. It was there that I got acquainted with Li Yiyang, Lu Chengfeng and Min Haoran, and had an inexplicable "love at first sight" with Zuo Shiyin.

Speaking of which, this Wushanfang City had also been roughly strolled around under the guidance of the mortal Yuan Wu, and knew that there were three main roads, one facing the entrance of Fang City, and one on the left and right sides.

The middle main road is mainly for the sale of magic utensils and inns of various sizes, and the main road on the right is mainly for the sale of talismans, and the "Tianfu Pavilion" is on the right side of the main road. The main road on the left is selling all kinds of elixirs, as well as some array equipment.

It may be that the trip to the Spirit Beast Garden is imminent, and according to the agreement of the three parties, each of the three major factions sent fifty disciples in the Qi cultivation period to participate in this exploration. After this month, the disciples of the Beast Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect who participated in the exploration also arrived one after another under the leadership of the teacher. And the most ideal foothold for their trip is naturally Wushanfang City at the foot of the Five Mountains View.

Therefore, at this time, the streets of Fang City can be said to be bustling, and you can see the colorful beast spirit sect people everywhere, as well as the Tianjian people who wear the heroic and extraordinary, and the Tianjian Gate people with a heavenly sword pattern behind them, naturally they are also indispensable in uniform clothes, but the Wushan gatekeepers are different colors. Of course, the most are the small merchants and hawkers who are constantly soliciting business, shouting at the top of their voices, but unfortunately, there are not many people who patronize them.

These small traders and peddlers often sell some things of unknown origin, and buy them rashly, and they may be found by the bitter master at any time, and it is inevitable that they will be entangled again. Moreover, they don't have any good goods in their hands, and if they really want to buy what they like, they still have to go to the big shops. Even though the price is more expensive, it is safe to buy and have no worries.

Li Yiyang is a frequent visitor to Fang City, all the way over, whether it is a small merchant or a shopkeeper, he nods his head when he meets, and keeps greeting "Li Gongzi", I can see that Yu Jianhong and I are ashamed of ourselves, and I feel that we are two followers.

Li Yiyang also danced with his eyebrows and was arrogant. Feeling the Fang City, this guy is like a dragon returning to the sea and a tiger entering the deep mountains, he is simply a long-sleeved dancer, left and right.

Fortunately, in addition to greeting Li Yiyang, he didn't waste time, leading me and Yu Jianhong, turning left and right to the main road on the right. This street is mainly for the sale of all kinds of talismans, and the "Tianfu Pavilion" happens to be the largest one.

The faΓ§ade of "Tianfu Pavilion" is also extremely wide, with a five-storey attic, carved railings and jade masonry, and is splendid. A grand prohibition encompasses the entire attic. In the middle of the door, there is a large plaque of gold lacquer, and there are three strong characters of "Tianfu Pavilion" written on it.

I heard Li Yiyang say early that although this "Tianfu Pavilion" is an industry of the Five Mountains View, it is actually mainly in the hands of Tianhuo Peak. After all, although Tianhuo Peak is a miscellaneous auxiliary skill, and talisman making, refining, and alchemy are all involved, if you really want to talk about it, it is true that only talisman making can still be mastered.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the attic, the shopkeeper guarding the door had sharp eyes and had already seen Li Yiyang. Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him, nodded his head, and said, "Gongzi Li, you came early today, can you bring Master Zhang's talisman this time?"

Li Yiyang put the shopkeeper aside and said politely: "Pi Er, don't talk nonsense, this time this young master has invited a distinguished guest, hurry up and ask the shopkeeper to come down." ”

Pi Er's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't move a step. Seeing this, Li Yiyang kicked his buttocks, and scolded in his mouth: "Don't be wordy, go quickly!" Pi Er quickly turned around and ran to the pavilion.

Li Yiyang turned around and explained to me: "Senior brother, don't blame, these shopkeepers are familiar with me, no big or small, don't be anxious with them, and think I'm joking with them!"

I smiled faintly, naturally I didn't take it seriously, but slowly paced into the pavilion with Li Yiyang.

On the first floor of the pavilion is a spacious hall, with more than a dozen white jade tables and chairs, which are used to entertain guests and show luxury.

When we entered, the hall was already full of people, and each had a young man to accompany us, and business was really prosperous.

I only heard a table near the door, a burly man with five big and three thick slapping the table, shouting: "As long as I have Master Zhang's talisman, it can save my life." What kind of goods are you giving me, can't you afford to bully me?" The young man who accompanied the conversation blindly laughed and kept explaining, but the big man just didn't follow.

There were also two or three tables next to him and chimed in: "That's it, you" Tianfu Pavilion "advertises the exclusive sale of Master Zhang's talismans, I just came all the way here, I knew that there were only these goods, so why should I come to you to buy them?"

When I heard these words, I was really stunned, I didn't expect the talisman I made to be so sought-after.

At this time, there was a sound of "kicking" at the stairs leading to the second floor, and the three of us looked over, only to see a withered old man dressed in gray coming down from the upper floor. When the old man saw Li Yiyang, he immediately quickened his pace, and shouted as he walked: "Oh, my eldest son Li, you are here, come and save your life!"

Li Yiyang bowed his hand and said, "The shopkeeper is polite!"

The shopkeeper stepped forward and took his hand, and said softly: "What kind of ceremony, let me ask you, can you bring Master Zhang's talisman this time?"

Li Yiyang spread his hands and said honestly: "No." ”

When the shopkeeper Gao heard this, he was like a mourner, and then he was furious, and said: "Stinky boy, without Master Zhang's talisman, what are you going to do! There are still a few days to go to the Spirit Animal Park, you are not practicing in the cave, and you are still running around the world, do you want me to tell your master and punish you for facing the wall?"

Li Yiyang Hun didn't take it seriously, just grabbed the hand of the shopkeeper Gao, attached it to his ear, and whispered: "Although the senior nephew didn't bring Master Zhang's talisman, it is not a negative trust, because the senior nephew invited Master Zhang himself this time!"

The shopkeeper Gao's eyes widened in an instant, his slightly rickety body straightened, and his eyes swept back and forth between me and Yu Jianhong without blinking, and finally, his eyes were fixed on me.

I said in my heart, Jiang is still old and spicy, and I instantly judged who was the main owner. He stepped forward a few steps and saluted: "Boy Zhang Mofan, I have seen the high shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper Gao seemed to have just come to his senses, and hurriedly held my hands and said, "Oh, hurry up and excuse me! I said how can there be a magpie chirping at the door today, and I feel that there are distinguished guests at the door today!"

The shopkeeper Gao then turned his head to Pi Er on the side and ordered: "You entertain Master Li and his nephews, I have distinguished guests, I want to receive them personally, and don't bother if there is a big matter!"

Pi Er hurriedly nodded yes, and then watched a little stunned as the shopkeeper Gao took my hand affectionately to the second floor, leaving Li Yiyang, who was full of smiles, and Yu Jianhong, who also didn't know the situation, downstairs.

The shopkeeper held my hand tightly, as if he was afraid that I would run away. When I got to the second floor, I was led into an elegant wing, where all kinds of furnishings were noble and elegant, and the sandalwood was drunk, and I knew that the owner must be an elegant person.

After the two of us entered the room, the shopkeeper Gao waved his hand, and a transparent light shone up.

The shopkeeper Gao explained: "Don't blame Xiaoyou, this is the ashram where the old man is cultivating, this prohibition can isolate the exploration of the spirit, and Xiaoyou can talk with confidence here." ”

I bowed my head and said, "The shopkeeper Gao has a heart." ”

The shopkeeper Gao then said solemnly: "Little friend, you... Are you Master Zhang?"

After all, the shopkeeper Gao is an elder, looking at Li Yiyang's attitude towards him, it seems that he is also a master in the door, how can I be respectful, and hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper Gao has been raised, the kid is just a rough talisman, and he doesn't dare to call him a master." ”

After listening to this, the shopkeeper Gao groaned, and said after a while: "Don't blame the master, it's not that the old man is disrespectful to the master, but this matter is important, and the old man has to beg for shame." ”

I was puzzled, and I didn't know what it meant, so I had to say: "The shopkeeper Gao is also a master in my door, please speak up if you have anything to say." ”

The shopkeeper Gao said: "Alas, what a master, the old man is also a monk of Tianhuo Peak, three hundred years ago he was already condensing the golden pill, but a hundred years ago he fought with an enemy, although I killed him, but I was also seriously injured by it, the road of this life is hopeless, so I have to come to this city to do my best for the sect." ”

I sigh in my heart, it is the power of Jindan, and I can't live forever, and I can't get away with it.

The shopkeeper Gao continued: "The quality of the talismans made by the master is excellent, especially since the master is still so young, it makes me ashamed. ”

Seeing this, I also asked the question that I had been puzzled in my heart, and said: "Seniors, juniors have always been puzzled, that is, the juniors have a little experience in talisman making, and they will not be commensurate with masters.

Who knew that after hearing this, the shopkeeper Gao laughed, and waved his hand again and again, and then said: "The master is too thin, and he is too underestimated to make a talisman." It is important to know that there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is not that high cultivation means high skill. To be honest, although the old man is not a layman in talisman making, if he compares with the master, it is difficult to beat the horse. ”

I wondered even more and asked, "Why is that?"

The shopkeeper Gao said: "We will respect you as a master, not because of the high level of the talisman you make, but because you can improve the quality of the talisman to the limit. The master also saw how those little Qi Refiners downstairs sought after you. That is, the old man can refine the golden pill period talisman, and it is useless to use it, so what can he do? ”

I finally felt a little sudden in my heart, it seems that some skills are really not proficient at a high level of cultivation, but also depend on personal talent and comprehension of magic, and I have more advantages than others in both aspects.

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly became embarrassed, rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Master, it's not that the old man is disrespectful, but this pavilion has reached a consensus before, if the master comes, this pavilion will treat him as a guest, and at the same time, there will be all kinds of benefits to the master, but... It's just that... ”

I looked at the appearance of this high shopkeeper, and I knew it, and said for him: "I just need to confirm the identity of the junior." ”

The shopkeeper raised his head to look at me when he heard this, then lowered his head again, and said: "Alas, let the master guess correctly, and the pavilion is also for the sake of prudence, I hope the master will forgive me." ”

I didn't want to embarrass him, so I said straightforwardly: "Trouble your pavilion to prepare dansha, talisman pens and other things, is it convenient?"

The shopkeeper immediately understood what I meant, this is to make talismans on the spot to prove himself. Hurriedly said: "Convenient, convenient, please wait." Then he hurriedly walked out of the wing.

Only tea time, the high shopkeeper hurried back, and retrieved a shining talisman pen, Dansha is also bright in color, and it looks like it is the best.

I also didn't want to waste any more time, and in front of him, I was familiar with making three talismans in a row, namely "Fireball Technique", "Vajra Cover" and "Water Archery Technique". Perhaps because of the extremely high quality of the talisman pen and dansha, the effect of this talisman is better than the previous one.

At this time, the shopkeeper Gao was already dizzy, and when he saw that I had finished making it, he still muttered to himself: "Divine skills, divine skills!"

I handed the three talismans to the shopkeeper Gao, and said with a smile: "Senior, is it possible to prove your identity in this way?"

The shopkeeper Gao took the talisman, nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, you are definitely Master Zhang." Come down, the old man will tell the master, this pavilion can give the master your preferential treatment, absolutely you are satisfied. ”
