Chapter 16: Selling Talismans to Make Money
Gangnam District is home to Joajin's famous university town, and a long snack street fills the entire Gangnam District with foodies from all walks of life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's noon, and the twilight sun hangs high in the sky, making the summer in July and August even harsher.
The temperature of nearly 38 degrees Celsius makes most people choose to stay at home and blow electric fans or air conditioners! But this small setback seems to be unable to defeat the hearts of those foodies, and countless men and women in cool clothes shuttle among them!
This is a small antique market not far from the university town, because of the hot sun, the floor of the market is steaming, so that pedestrians on the side of the road, even those holding parasols, are in a hurry, but there are a lot of people gathered in the shade of the trees in the center of the market!
In the center of this small antique market, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a faint smell sits in the backlight. He lowered his head, and his broken bangs covered his eyebrows. Under the light of the fluorescent lamp, there was a beautiful circle of light on the top of the boy's layered brown hair. The eyes without the slightest color, the slender and long single phoenix eyes, and the two thin lips with pride under the high bridge of the nose.
I don't know how long he has been in the sun, the hot sun doesn't seem to have any effect on him, there is no sweat stain on his body, just playing with his mobile phone alone!
A piece of yellow cloth was placed in front of the young man, "Clever calculation, young Zhuge !" A few big characters accounted for most of the yellow cloth, and the other half was written "Exorcism charms, town house charms, disease charms, good luck charms" There are several thin pieces of rune paper pressed under each talisman.
This young man is Luo Jun, after Luo Jun returned to the real world from the inner world. After coming to the school to take the exam, he found that Zhang Dong did not come, and the head teacher said that Zhang Dong had taken sick leave, and Luo Jun knew that Zhang Dong must have had an accident, which made Luo Jun understand the power of his Maoshan Taoism.
So Luo Jun is going to draw a few pieces of rune paper to sell. Luo Jun doesn't use much money, Luo Jun just wants to share some of the burden on his parents.
All the family's income comes from Luo Jun's father, the reliable man, and the man who fights all difficulties by himself.
Although Joaquin City is not big, consumption is not expensive, but everything needs money to eat, drink and Lazar, and the family's economic conditions are actually very ordinary, and the family does not have a lot of savings at all.
Luo Jun studied hard at the beginning because he wanted to learn knowledge to repay the second elder's nurturing kindness.
Now, Luo Jun has the ability to make money, so he thinks he has to do something!
Everyone who was enjoying the shade in the square looked at Luo Jun with surprised eyes from time to time, and then looked at the time on their mobile phones. These people were the ones who discovered Luo Jun very early, and Luo Jun, who had been exposed to the sun for two hours in this nearly thirty-eight degree heat, was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Lao Li, why don't you try it, I heard that your frozen shoulder has not been cured, maybe this young man is a master!" said a passer-by to the person next to him.
"Alas, let's look at it again, there are too many liars now, and this talisman paper is too unbelievable...... "The man next to him shook his head and said.
Luo Jun, who was playing with his mobile phone, shook his head, this stall has been set up for a long time, but everyone is waiting to see when it will be opened.
"Hey, there's also an 'evil amulet', what is this, hey, boss, how much is your 'evil charm'?"
Luo Jun didn't expect that he was just thinking about when it would open, and someone came up to ask the price, and immediately stood up happily and said: "The talisman to ward off evil is 10,000 pieces ......."
"If you're sick, you're ......" Before Luo Jun finished speaking, he received four words, as well as two backs that walked away.
As time passed, the scorching sun slowly cooled down, and as soon as the sun set, there were more pedestrians on the side of the road, and many people gathered in front of Luo Jun's stall to point and point, mostly to see what this 10,000 pieces of rune paper looked like.
Although Luo Jun has never sold one, his fame has gradually spread in the antique market: he has been exposed to the sun for hours in a 38-degree heat, and he has no sweat at all.
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, but there was no one who bought it, Luo Jun put down his mobile phone and prepared to close the stall.
Selling talismans is still too detached from reality, and most people still believe in science. Luo Jun thought helplessly.
"Wait a minute, young man, don't close the stall yet, can you show me the sickness talisman?" Just as Luo Jun was about to close the stall, an old man wearing a Tang costume with gray hair and an unusually pale face said.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Li, a well-known collector in the antique market, and I heard that his son is a ******** in Joaquin City. ”
"If it doesn't work, this kid will be finished, ********'s father was cheated out of money, and this kid has to walk around without eating. ”
"Old Man Li also believes in rune paper to cure diseases?"
The people on the side of the road looked at the old man and talked about it.
"Ah, oh, here you go, this sickness charm, but this disease charm is not 10,000 pieces, it needs 100,000 pieces. "Look at it, it's okay, Luo Jun's talismans were originally intended to be sold, and this old man is likely to be a buyer, and there happens to be someone who verifies the true effect of these talismans.
Mr. Li is an antique hobbyist, so he has more or less experienced some things that ordinary people have not seen. It is precisely because of this that Mr. Li has a cautious attitude towards the feudal superstitions that people say!
"Young man, how do you use this rune paper?" Old Man Li asked Luo Jun while holding the rune paper.
"I take the liberty of asking, old man, what kind of disease do you have?" Luo Jun said.
"Hehe, nothing presumptuous, I, I have many years of old cold legs, no matter the wind or rain, or the sun is shining on my legs, they are as cold as a block of ice. Young man, can this charm cure my old cold legs?" asked Old Man Li with a kind smile.
Luo Jun nodded, thinking in his heart that if his first-level talisman couldn't even cure an ordinary person's old cold legs, he would simply take a piece of tofu and kill him.
However, this business is his first business, of course, he has to be cautious, and hurriedly said: "Of course, my talisman should not be said to cure an old cold leg, that is, as long as there is a breath, my talisman can be saved." That's an ancestral ......."
Luo Jun wanted to continue bragging, but Old Man Li interrupted his continuation, and asked with a smile: "How to use this talisman seal?"
"Well, you just need to smash it on your body and say the word 'Pro'. Luo Jun said embarrassedly.
Old Man Li took two steps back, raised his hand, and threw the 'dispelling charm' in his hand to his body, and at the same time shouted 'Lin' in his mouth.
looked at the old man Li who was like a magic stick, and the onlookers next to him were crying and laughing, thinking in their hearts, feudal superstition kills people.
However, they immediately thought that there was something wrong with their eyes, and the yellow talisman thrown out by Old Man Li, after Old Man Li said the word 'Lin', actually turned into several white rays of light, and these rays actually sank into Old Man Li's legs, and some ash fell down one after another.
"Whoop——!
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.
This rune is actually real?
