"You can't say that!" Tang Chen said modestly, "You must know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, I just have a little experience in the production of magic weapons, how can I dare to boast so much?"

Tang Chen was telling the truth, if it weren't for the bonus of the "Seven Star Robbery" Feng Shui Bureau, in fact, Tang Chen's level of enlightenment was only a little better than that of ordinary magic weapon makers. It was precisely because of the "Seven Star Robbery" Feng Shui Bureau left to him by his grandfather that Tang Chen had a great reputation in the magic weapon industry.

If you put aside the factor of the "Seven Star Robbery" Feng Shui Bureau, Tang Chen is at most a little guaranteed in the success rate of making magic weapons, but the quality of magic weapons is not very good. Maybe a very good artifact shape, in Tang Chen's hands, would not reach the level of an intermediate magic weapon. Although the intermediate magic weapon can be cultivated through the "Seven Star Robbery" Feng Shui Bureau, the effect will not be much worse, or even exceeded, but the time cost will also go up.

This is also why Tang Chen had to "tao" a few magic weapons, instead of making them himself—it was too late!

Even if Tang Chen told the truth from the bottom of his heart, Zeng Lao still thought that Tang Chen was humbling: "Master Tang, you are too modest, I think your skills in making magic weapons are still above Feng Shui." ”

Tang Chen smiled helplessly, the world is so strange, no one believes it when you tell the truth, but when you tell a lie, others believe it. Tang Chen couldn't tell Zeng Lao the secret of the "Sanhe Ju", and only he knew about this suffering.

Fortunately, they have arrived at Feng Shui Street, which is much more inconspicuous than the antique street, but the flow of people has not decreased, but it is surging. Feng Shui Street is not big, but it is full of people, bustling, and very lively.

"I didn't expect the feng shui street here to be so prosperous!"

Tang Chen said with a little emotion, after all, he had been to Fengshui Street in Panzhou, and compared to here, it was simply heaven and earth. It's not to belittle Panzhou, but to the people of Quanzhou...... It seems to be even more unabashed.

The so-called not shying away naturally refers to being above board and opening directly in the downtown area. For example, the location of Feng Shui Street in Panzhou is also a bit remote, unlike the Feng Shui Street here, which is next to the antique street, even if it looks remote, it is actually very conspicuous.

"Master Tang, as I said before, there are many places of interest and historic sites in Quanzhou Prefecture, and there are many Buddhist temples, Catholic churches, and mosques, which have always been known as religious museums. For thousands of years, the residents of Quanzhou have formed the habit of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, which is not easy to change, so this kind of feng shui supplies are naturally in demand......"

Faced with Zeng Lao's explanation, Tang Chen still couldn't believe it: "No, won't the police come to investigate?"

"Hehe, here the magic weapon is not called a feng shui magic weapon, but a folk mascot, and it is a side ball. If the people don't raise it, the officials don't hold it accountable, and naturally they can be safe and sound. Zeng Lao smiled slyly.

Tang Chen suddenly realized, this is just like his magic weapon shop, the signboard outside is called "Sanheju", it is all hidden from people's eyes.

Looking at the shops of many folk mascots in the streets, as well as the incense and candle shops, it seems to be a hodgepodge, and it is not worse than Chen Village in Nanhai City, no wonder it is so lively. Tang Chen said in his heart: "Do you want to get some ingots and candles when you go back, lest someone deliberately find fault and stir up trouble?" As the saying goes, be prepared, it's hard to guarantee that some people will blush when they see me making money......

Although Feng Shui Street is not far from the antique street, the things sold inside are very different. The antique street is almost full of antiques - oh no, it should be said that it is handicrafts, and the real antiques are rare, and on the feng shui street, most of the products sold are ingots and candles, magic utensils and rune paper.

In economic terms, this is called the agglomeration effect. Like Tang Chen, who is fighting alone, there are generally no customers who have just entered the threshold to buy things, because basically no one knows where they are. The formation of an agglomeration effect is different, at least it can attract people and increase shipments. No, there are still many small stalls and vendors carrying woven bags on Feng Shui Street, and they can be regarded as "guerrillas". Later, the chengguan got tired of coming two or three times a day, or even four or five times, but they still couldn't fight these "ghost stalls".

The things sold by these stalls are no different from those in the store, and the most of them are just some magic utensils such as urging officials and dignitaries, turning evil into prosperity, and attracting wealth and treasure. When a person lives in the world, he wants to be promoted and make a fortune, and he wants to have a harmonious family at the worst. These feng shui shops and stalls sell this type of ritual utensils, but it is only because the market demand is large. As long as there are more things sold, there must be fewer high-quality products. After all, the magic weapon is not so easy to get, even if it is Tang Chen, if he wants to open the light magic weapon, he has to spend a lot of energy. Therefore, ordinary people buy ritual utensils just to buy a peace of mind and go home.

In other words, it's just buying some useless things to go home, looking good, and feeling at ease, but the effect is definitely not. The magic weapon was born by the qi of heaven and earth, after all, it is in the minority. Most of the magic weapons are acquired, and the most of them are low-level magic weapons.

Therefore, while Tang Chen was walking, he was using the "Qi Viewing Technique" to observe the changes in the aura around him.

As imagined, although there are many "magic weapons" here, there are still a few magic weapons that really have aura. Even if there is, it is just a layer of light white aura floating in it, this is the lowest level and lowest level magic weapon, not that it is useless, but Tang Chen can't use it either.

"Master Tang, what do we buy first?"

Facing Zeng Lao's question, Tang Chen thought about it carefully, and then said: "Let's buy yellow paper first, although there is a lot of yellow paper, there are very few real fine products." ”

It's not that Tang Chen is talking nonsense, this yellow paper is not the same yellow paper, it is not the same concept at all. To tell the truth, with China's papermaking technology, what paper can't be made? Yellow paper is just white paper dyed and dyed.

But this kind of yellow paper, which is precisely the worst yellow paper, is useless at all. Yellow paper is used for drawing symbols because yellow symbolizes the soil in the five elements, and the middle of the east, west, north, south, and middle. It represents the righteous qi, which can also be said to be the righteous qi between heaven and earth, and with the runes written by cinnabar, it can maximize the power of the borrowed righteous qi. The talisman of the props is generally borrowed from the power of heaven and earth, and it must be yellow paper.

But the real yellow paper, the manufacture is very particular. This kind of yellow paper, the real name should be called "hard yellow paper", is a kind of precious art processing paper originated in the Tang Dynasty, used to write scriptures and copy ancient posts. Using the bark as raw material, the yellow tiller juice is impregnated on the paper to make it appear natural yellow, and then the wax is evenly coated on the paper, and the surface of the paper is bright and moist after calendering. Because this yellow paper has good toughness and strong transparency, it is called hard yellow paper.

Now there are not many people who will make this hard yellow paper process. That's why it's scarce. After all, the demand is not enough to support the burden of supporting the family, and it is normal for no one to make it. The production of this kind of hard yellow paper is actually no different from ordinary paper, the biggest difference is that it is impregnated with yellow tiller juice, which has a natural yellow color.

According to the legend of the older generation, this paper is the color of Kumon used in ancient times. The talisman made of hard yellow paper is equivalent to the official document that is submitted, and the Taoist priest will generally use the talisman with a mantra, and the most used "urgent as a law", that is, the meaning of urgent official documents.
