Chapter 80: Fang City
The next day, after Mei Han cleaned the courtyard, he walked to Zongmenfang City under the peak.
"Hello senior brother, welcome to this pavilion. When Mei Han walked into a grocery store, a waiter immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and greeted him respectfully.
Mei Han nodded and walked in.
"What do you need to buy? The squire said with a sharp smile on his lips.
"I'm going to buy some rune paper, pens and ink. Mei Han glanced at the long row of shelves behind the counter and said flatly.
"Uh......" The attendant was stunned when he heard this, and stared at Mei Han and winked.
"Why aren't there any goods for sale?"
"Yes, it turns out that you are a senior brother from Wanfu Academy. The attendant's face was pleased, and his eyes lit up.
"Do you know me?" Mei Han was a little confused, the person in front of him was only a body refining martial artist, he hadn't seen it at all, how did the other party know him?
"That's not it, the one who wants these three items must be the rune carrier, and it must also be the senior brother of the Wanfu Academy, so I think the senior brother must be from the Wanfu Academy. Brother, please come with me. The waiter had a smile on his face, and he led Mei Han inside more enthusiastically.
"Senior brother, the goods required by the talisman maker are small goods, so there is no one on the shelf, senior brother will sit first, and I will go to the warehouse to get it. After arranging Mei Han's seat, the attendant ran diligently to the backyard.
Mei Han looked around a few times, the furnishings here were no different from the secular shops, the only difference was that the goods were different. There are goods neatly placed on the shelves, including knives, guns, swords, halberds, bottles and cans of medicines, and a lot of herbs in transparent containers, and other commercial goods.
There weren't many people in the store at this time, except for him, there were only two other men who came with him. One of the short-haired Gao Han held a tiger head knife with a back ring in front of the counter and bargained with the shopkeeper, looking at the Gao Han looked like the big knife in his hand, but the price was a little unbearable, the shopkeeper was cunning, took a fancy to this, and resolutely refused to let the price. In the end, the short-haired Gao Han reluctantly borrowed two yuan crystals from the people who came with him and paid the money, and his mouth was very angry and threatened not to come again. But the shopkeeper who made the money just counted the money and didn't pay any attention to Gao Han's clamour.
At this time, the attendant came back with a large tray with sweat on his forehead, it seems that these goods are really deserted, and few people usually patronize them.
After counting the money, the shopkeeper approached with a smile, waved his hand at the attendant, and took over Mei Han's business by himself. The waiter, accustomed to the shopkeeper's behavior, walked out the door with a glancing glance on his lips, ready to recruit the next customer.
"Below is Yu Demiao, the shopkeeper of the department store, I don't know what your Excellency is called. The middle-aged shopkeeper stepped forward and arched his hand, sat on the chair next to Mei Han, and said with a smile.
"My surname is Han. Mei Han bowed his head and said indifferently. This is a faint fluctuation of true qi on the shopkeeper's body, and he is also a martial artist, and his cultivation is not low, but at this age, he will not make much progress in the future.
"It's Han Xiaoyou, come and see these goods, but the goods in our store are pure, Han Xiaoyou can buy with confidence. The shopkeeper uncovered the red cloth from the tray and revealed the contents inside.
Three long cardboard boxes, a pile of clean rune paper, and some bottles and cans.
Shopkeeper Yu picked up one of the cardboard boxes and opened it gently, and there was a brush lying inside: "Han Xiaoyou, please see, this talisman pen is made of the hardest needle bones on the green bone wolf and the best hair under the armpit, and it has a good Yuan Force induction." ”
"This wood silk brush is made of tough silk between the bark of an ancient tree, which is extremely soft and suitable for making non-violent talismans. Shopkeeper Yu opened another box and introduced skillfully.
It is said that he took the essence of the nine mountains to refine the pen barrel, and the nib was made by refining the tendons of the nine beasts. This pen name is Jiulian Pen. ”
As soon as the third box was opened, a golden light suddenly bloomed, and in the center of the golden light lay a mini stone stick like a stone and jade, like a chopstick polished from stone, on which a line of runes can be carved, and those golden lights are emitted by these emergences, and this thing is extremely extraordinary at a glance.
Mei Han's eyebrows moved, and he picked it up gently, and with the slow injection of his true qi, the light emitted by the talisman began to converge, but at one end of the pen, there were light filaments that sucked in hair, and a lot of light filaments converged into a bunch of hairs that became the tip of the pen.
He was a little shocked in his heart, staring intently at the talisman in his hand, but his face was still very plain, after seeing the scene of the shopkeeper trading with the previous Gao Han, how could he not have a way to deal with it.
Seeing Mei Han's love to put it down, the smile on the shopkeeper's face became more real. But when he saw Mei Han repeatedly observing the Nine Refining Pen in his hand, his smile stiffened a little and was a little unnatural. This change happened to be captured by Mei Han.
Then, Mei Han shook his head, sighed, and sighed, "This ...... There are blemishes. ”
The shopkeeper's heart jumped, his face twitched, and his expression changed more obviously: "What flaws, impossible, this pen is from the hand of Uncle Gu Wenmao, you can't believe me, can't you still believe Uncle Gu Wenmao." If you look at the rune flow channel on this, the feeling of the tentacles, and the smoothness of the true qi, they are all superior. At this moment, his eyebrows jumped, and he said with a serious face, "If you don't buy it, forget it, don't slander the goods of this pavilion." ”
Seeing the subtle changes in the shopkeeper, Mei Han was even more convinced of his judgment. First of all, since this pen is a high-quality talisman pen from the hand of a master, why has it survived to this day? Secondly, when Mei Han said that there was a flaw, the shopkeeper's emotional unnatural and even excited cover up and justification, and finally his serious attitude was obviously a perennial figure out of the customer's psychology and developed a means of confusion, if when Mei Han said that there was a problem with this pen, he was very calm or even displeased, Mei Han could not be sure of his guess, but it was precisely because of the shopkeeper's too "enthusiasm" that Mei Han's suspicions were deepened.
Mei Han secretly cursed "old fox" in his heart, then got up and walked to the door with a cold smile. Just as he was about to walk out of the door, the voice of the shopkeeper came from behind him.
"Han Xiaoyou is slow, I admit that this pen is indeed flawed, otherwise it would not have been sold in this pavilion. Don't be angry, discuss things slowly. You also know that despite its flaws, this pen is also a rare talisman pen. If you fancy this one, I'll give you a discounted price, what do you think?"
"It's against the will of the shopkeeper, drawing a rune carving array is a meticulous work, no slight mistakes are allowed, each rune must be extremely accurate, a simple rune array of five or six runes can be formed, and a slightly complex rune array needs dozens or hundreds of runes to build. A flawed talisman is not a matter of price. Mei Han's voice was cold, and he added, "Not to mention the severity of the backlash caused by the talisman, don't you understand?"
Yu's shopkeeper's forehead was a little sweaty, and it was precisely because of this that his talisman pen could not be sold, but his "no treachery and no business" side was broken by Mei Handao, to put it mildly, it was greedy for profit, and to put it more seriously, it was to seek money and kill people.
Mei Han's words slowed down: "If you have other good quality magic skills, I am still interested in taking a look, if not, then I will leave!"
Among the talisman making tools, the talisman pen is the most important, the talisman pen is the only means to communicate the true qi or true element of the human body, and it is also the only bridge to inject the true qi or true element into the talisman paper and the magic ink.
"Yes, there is another one!" Yu shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then nodded suddenly, he ran behind Mei Han, his posture was very low, "Han Xiaoyou upstairs, please, Ao, don't get me wrong, this pen was acquired a lot of money when I was away a few years ago, but this pen is a little special, and it has been kept upstairs all these years, Han Xiaoyou, please follow me upstairs." ”
"Go, make a pot of good snail leaf tea. Shopkeeper Yu commanded the little servant, and then led Mei Han to the VIP room on the second floor.
The upstairs furnishings are very different from the downstairs lobby, the area is a lot smaller, but the furnishings are exquisite, the antique furniture decoration, the exquisite potted plants, quite an elegant and generous feeling, Mei Han sat on the chair, felt very comfortable.
The shopkeeper walked to the side room, and after a while, there was a delicate pencil case made of jade in his arms.
"Han Xiaoyou, please take a look. The shopkeeper opened the jade box and put it on the coffee table, revealing the ancient and dark color of the talisman pen inside, "This pen is absolutely first-class in terms of touch and workmanship." ”
Mei Han picked up the pen, his eyes lit up, and a warm and cool meaning came from his tentacles, but when he injected true qi, his face couldn't help but change, and the hand holding the pen sank.
Yu shopkeeper smiled: "Han Xiaoyou has also experienced, this rune pen is indeed a wonderful pen, usually very normal, but after the injection of true qi, it will become extremely heavy, I have recommended it to the talisman maker before, but no one wants to buy it, and I am also because I can't sell it, so I put it on the second floor to make a decoration."
But every time someone asks, I will still make a recommendation, maybe this pen is waiting for his destined person, I just have the honor to be a matchmaker. ”
Mei Han couldn't help frowning, it stands to reason that the lighter the rune pen, the better, the lighter it is, the lighter it is, the easier it is to master, and it is easy to depict the runes. Heavy mistakes are easy to make mistakes, and even small mistakes can lead to failure.
"Buy it!" Just as he was about to put down the Ancient Mystery Talisman Pen, the voice of the djinn rang out.
The shopkeeper sighed, thinking to himself, the business had failed again, and he regretted that he was really cheap back then, and bought a waste pen with a lot of money. In fact, in his eyes, there is no good pen, and the businessman only values profit. I only heard Mei Han say the three words he had been looking forward to for more than ten years.
"I want it!"
"You really want it, great!"
