Chapter 182: The Stinky Jar
I don't know when Qi Xuansu began to believe in the "conservation of luck" that Qi Niang said, which probably means that after suffering bad luck, good luck will be encountered next.
In the old saying, it is "where blessings and misfortunes lurk, and where misfortunes and blessings rest."
Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
The reason why Qi Xuansu believes is related to his experience, for example, in Yulan Temple, he was plotted by the monk Yanxiu and almost died under the divine power of Wuluo, which is bad luck, but then he was blessed by misfortune and opened the "Xuanyu", which is undoubtedly good luck.
Qi Xuansu felt that during this period of time, his luck was not very good, maybe good luck was in the "Xuanxuan Jar" in front of him.
So Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, and then said to Su Yan: "Let's try the water first." ”
Su Yan said lightly: "The Xuanxuan jar is only sold inside the Daomen, so there is no so-called preferential price, five hundred Taiping money each, just pick it." ”
Where did Qi Xuansu pick this kind of thing, he could only pick it like a watermelon, first weigh the weight, then tap it with his fingers, listen to the movement, and finally chose a relatively inconspicuous jar, which has been placed for a long time, and a layer of dust has accumulated on the sealed rune paper.
Su Yan saw that Qi Xuansu had picked the Xuanxuan jar and said, "Just remove the rune paper on the mouth of the jar." ”
To be honest, she was also a little curious about what was in these Xuanxuan jars, after all, these Xuanxuan jars had been stacked here before she became the chief Taoist priest here. Since she became the chief Taoist, she has only opened five jars, all of which are opened by high-grade Taoist priests for fun, and without exception, they are all garbage.
There is a Xuanxuan jar with a female ghost in it, it is still the kind of powerful ghost that hurts people's lives, and as soon as she left the jar, she opened her teeth and danced her claws, but was directly killed by Su Yan
There is also a Xuanxuan jar containing a talisman of unknown significance, and the moment the Xuanxuan jar is opened, the talisman teleports the person who opened the jar to the Wutong Courtyard.
What's even more infuriating is that there is a Xuanxuan jar with a second Xuanxuan jar inside, and a third Xuanxuan jar in the second Xuanxuan jar, so matryoshka five times, and the last Xuanxuan jar has a mutant blood dragon pill of unknown value and unknown meaning in it, which is very bad.
The high-grade Taoist priest who opened the jar did not believe in evil, and directly swallowed this Blood Dragon Pill that even the color of the appearance had become colorful, and the result was that he did improve his cultivation, but he was also highly poisonous, half of his body could not move, and he lay in the Transformation Hall for half a month.
The most valuable thing is the guaranteed 100 Taiping money, because the age is too old, the old version of the official ticket in the Xuan Xuan jar has stopped being issued, and it has a certain collection value and can be sold for 200 Taiping money.
In fact, as the main inheritor of the former creation project, the Huashengtang will carry out a lot of exploration every year, and in the process of exploration, there will be some gains, but it will also inevitably produce a lot of useless or unclear things, and the Huashengtang is not like the Tianji Hall, in the Tianji Hall, it is a big deal to return to the furnace directly, and many things in the Huashengtang are irreversible, which has a certain danger and a certain value, which is not easy to deal with.
So a certain person in charge of the Huashengtang had an idea and invented something like "Xuanxuan Jar", putting all these tasteless chicken ribs into the jar, and then putting one or two good things worth a thousand gold in the jar to attract others to try their luck, so as to relieve the double pressure of the treasury and finance.
Of course, the Xuanxuan jar will not be deceitful, saying that there are treasures in it, then there are definitely treasures, and the dignified incarnation hall will not play such a trick, but whether you can get it depends on your luck.
At the beginning, many people were indeed attracted by this kind of novelty and took action, which really made the Huashengtang make a lot of money, and each Huashengtang Taoist received a more or less subsidy.
Until one time, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest didn't know whether it was above or competed, and opened a Xuanxuan jar of nearly 100,000 Taiping money in one breath, and as a result, a piece of garbage was opened, and 100,000 Taiping money became 1,000 Taiping money, and even the residence in Taishangfang was transferred, which can be said to be a loss of money, which made the trend of opening jars slightly curbed.
Later, there were high-rollers who challenged the probability of the treasures of the Xuanxuan jar, and spent a lot of money, 200,000 Taiping opened three treasures from the Xuanxuan jar, one of which was still a high-grade treasure, worth as much as 50,000 Taiping money, a total of 80,000 Taiping money, and a loss of up to 120,000 Taiping money.
Shortly after this incident, Feng Xiantang intervened in the investigation and arrested this "Fight to Fame" high roller. It turned out that the huge amount of 200,000 Taiping money was embezzled by this person. Soon, the high-roller pleaded guilty and was confiscated of all his family property. Fengxiantang went to Huashengtang to recover the stolen money, but the jars had already been opened, and Huashengtang naturally did not agree to refund the money, and the two families started a lawsuit again, until Jinque, and finally it was over.
After this incident, the reputation of the Xuanxuan jar was completely stinky, and it was called "the stinky jar".
In view of this situation, whoever still opens these Xuanxuan jars is unjust. So these Xuanxuan jars that didn't have time to sell were always piled up here, no one cared about them, and naturally no one knew what was inside.
There was a table not far away, Qi Xuansu came to the table with the selected Xuanxuan jar, put the jar on the table, and slowly uncovered the runic paper sealed on the mouth of the jar.
In an instant, the entire jar began to disintegrate and shatter, and a soft light spread out from the inside out, illuminating Qi Xuansu and Su Yan's faces.
After a few moments, the light faded.
There was an extra piece of clothing on the table. A woman's dress.
The upper and lower skirts are mainly white, the neckline is cyan, and the skirt and cuffs are also decorated with pleated pale cyan ruffles. The expression on Qi Xuansu's face seemed to be angry and smiling, like bitterness and happiness, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Does Huashengtang still do tailor work?" ”
Su Yan's expression was also unnatural, and he coughed lightly: "Huashengtang does not do tailoring, but when imitating clothing treasures and designing armor, it will involve tailoring technology, this dress may be a work of practice, and the craftsmanship is not bad." ”
Qi Xuansu was still a little unwilling: "Since it is a work of hand practice, then there should always be a spiritual object." ”
Su Yan took a closer look at the women's dress again: "The practice I am talking about is the training of tailors, not the practice of imitating treasures." ”
Qi Xuansu's face froze: "In other words, this is an ordinary dress?" ”
Although the Xuanxuan jar has "stinked jars" among the older generations of the Daomen, it is still very mysterious for young people and people outside the Daomen, Su Yan also felt a little embarrassed, and explained: "It can't be said to be ordinary, the material is still quite good, at least I am not afraid of washing insects, and I can guarantee that there are no second-hand items in the Xuanxuan jar, they are all new." ”
Qi Xuansu smiled angrily: "Brand new ordinary clothes." ”
Su Yan didn't speak.
Qi Xuansu took a deep breath and comforted himself, five hundred Taiping money should be used as a gift for Zhang Yuelu, after all, Zhang Yuelu gave him a cloak, but he never gave Zhang Yuelu anything, this time it was counted as making up for it.
And to be honest, regardless of the price of five hundred Taiping dollars, then this dress is still quite beautiful, and it must look good on Zhang Yuelu's body.
Thinking like this, Qi Xuansu finally managed to calm down.
But then, unwillingness and regret came to my heart again.
That's 500 dollars.
What's wrong?
Even buying a few decent pieces of furniture for Yujing's house is much better than buying a piece of clothing that is far less than five hundred taiping.
Qi Xuansu looked back at the pile of Xuanxuan jars again, and the statement of conservation of luck gradually took over his mind.
If there is bad luck first, then it should be good luck next.
If he just gives up, won't he miss out on good luck? It is equivalent to a loss of 500 Taiping dollars in vain.
There is also a quota of 500 Taiping coins......
So Qi Xuansu fell into the battle between heaven and man again.
Do you want to make up for it again?
Make up for it, not only to return to the cost, but even to make a small profit.
If you don't make up for it, you will lose 500 Taiping money in vain, but you can stop the loss in time.
Qi Xuansu only felt as if there were two voices constantly intertwining in his heart.
Concentration, you must hold back.
Luck is conserved, and next time it must be good luck.
After a moment like this, Qi Xuansu made up his mind: "One more." ”
Su Yan was not surprised, but said, "Good luck." ”
