Chapter 1 The Seventh Master
A few days later
Zhang Baiguan was lying on the counter, usually the business in the store was very deserted, not to mention people, but there was not even a ghost.
Zhang Baiguan took a deep breath, the flow of people outside was in a hurry, and the voices were boiling, this time he came back from the Lancang River, and his mood has not calmed down until now.
It's not just about carp and Lu Xiaoqing, but also about the content on the bamboo slip.
Suddenly thinking of the rotten map again, Zhang Baiguan took it out of the bottom of the box, and soon, the two rotten maps were pieced together, which made Zhang Baiguan a little surprised, although he had already guessed this in his heart, but when he saw it with his own eyes, it was another matter.
Zhang Baiguan stood on the counter, holding a magnifying glass, staring at the map, looking at it for a while, but he didn't understand.
The lines and some words on this rotten map are unheard of by Zhang Baiguan.
To say that Zhang Baiguan has traveled north and south over the years, and his knowledge is not less, but now he just can't understand this map.
Just then, someone walked in.
Zhang Baiguan didn't pay attention to it, but just said: "Raw play or old goods?"
Zhang Baiguan's brows furrowed, thinking in his heart, it seems that his Taoism is still not enough, and he should ask the seventh master.
Just thinking about it, someone suddenly said: "Boss, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a map of Western Xia!"
When Zhang Baiguan heard this, his heart beat violently.
Zhang Baiguan raised his head, and only then did he look at the face of the person in front of him, the upper body was a suit, and the lower body was wearing a pair of PLA pants, but he was wearing a pair of shiny black leather shoes on his feet, and a PLA hat on his head, and his face looked quite kind.
Zhang Baiguan asked aloud: "Can you understand this map?"
The visitor smiled and was about to speak, when Zhang Baiguan put away the map.
The man got the words stuck in his throat.
Zhang Baiguan didn't have time to waste time here for him, so he still asked the seventh master to say hello to this kind of thing, and looked at the person in front of him again, how do you think it feels unreliable.
"Do you want to buy something? If you don't buy it, I'll close!"
Hearing Zhang Baiguan ask this, the man was not in a hurry, and when he exited the store and left, he said to Zhang Baiguan: "Few people can understand this picture, I will come tomorrow!"
Zhang Baiguan glanced at the man's back suspiciously, locked the door of the store, and then went straight to a street in Xi'an, the residence of the seventh master, Zhang Baiguan raised his hand and knocked on the quaint door, shouting the word seven masters.
After only a few knocks, I heard the sound of footsteps.
Something is wrong! Zhang Baiguan wondered in his heart, the seventh master couldn't be so fast, just thinking about it, suddenly the door opened, and it was a young man who looked seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Who are you looking for? The Seventh Master is not a guest today. ”
Zhang Baiguan glanced at this young man, and thought to himself, if he spoke so horizontally, if he had been a soldier a few years ago, he would have gone up and beaten this kid a long time ago.
"You go and tell the Seventh Master that Zhang Baiguan is looking for him, and he will definitely see me"
The guy glanced at Zhang Baiguan, but his footsteps did not move, and it seemed that he still did not plan to report to Zhang Baiguan.
Zhang Baiguan took a deep breath and was about to teach this tiger-headed guy a lesson.
At this moment, the voice of the seventh master came: "Who is outside?"
Zhang Baiguan replied: "Seventh Master, it's me, Baiguan!"
"Xiaoqiang, let him in!"
Zhang Baiguan entered the courtyard, and the seventh master's expression did not look very good, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he couldn't open them because of the accumulation of wrinkles.
Zhang Baiguan didn't twist it, and directly took out the rotten map in his pocket.
After the map was taken out, all of a sudden, the original sluggish expression of the seventh master seemed to have an extra brilliance, and the wrinkles on his eyelids suddenly relaxed.
Zhang Baiguan spread out the rotten map, and the seventh master's hands took it with a slight tremble.
Zhang Baiguan said bluntly: "Seventh Master, I didn't understand this rotten map, but just now someone entered my shop and said that this map is from the Western Xia period." As he spoke, Zhang Baiguan looked at the seventh master.
All the eyes of the seventh master were on that rotten map.
In the end, after waiting for a few minutes, the seventh master spoke: "That's right, this map should be from the Western Xia period" Immediately after, the seventh master asked Zhang Baiguan again: "Where did you get this map from?" ”
Speaking of this map, it can be regarded as an opportunity for Zhang Baiguan, when he entered the industry in the early years, he followed a person named Lu Erye to mingle.
Later, I heard that Lu Erye took someone to explore a tomb, I heard that the tomb is terrible, and the people who went there did not survive in life, at first, Zhang Baiguan still didn't believe it, and then went to the industry to inquire about the news, and everyone said they didn't know.
At this point, Zhang Baiguan had no choice but to give up, and later opened his own store in Xi'an, which has been operating until now.
Zhang Baiguan didn't answer the Seventh Master so directly, but just said that this map was obtained by accident, and the Seventh Master did not delve into it.
It's just that his gaze has become extremely deep, and at the same time, the Adam's apple on his throat is surging up and down.
Suddenly, the seventh master coughed a few times, and then the cough seemed to be unstoppable, and his face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted in his mouth: "Medicine"
This happened so suddenly, Zhang Baiguan didn't react for a while.
At this time, Xiaoqiang ran to get the medicine, with a glass of water, the seventh master swallowed the pill, and after the pill was down, his face immediately recovered.
Zhang Baiguan asked worriedly: "It's okay!
The seventh master waved his hand, glanced at Zhang Baiguan, and suddenly said: "Baiguan, I plan to let Xiaoqiang apprentice with you"
Hearing this, Zhang Baiguan was stunned.
"Seventh Master" Xiaoqiang shouted.
The seventh master ignored Xiaoqiang and continued to say to Zhang Baiguan: "Baiguan, what do you say?"
Now that the Seventh Master has spoken, Zhang Baiguan is not easy to refuse, and spit out a word from his mouth.
After hearing this reply, the seventh master nodded with satisfaction.
"Then if it's okay, you can go back first! I'll explain a few words to Xiaoqiang and ask him to report to you tomorrow!"
Zhang Baiguan answered and went out.
As soon as Zhang Baiguan left, the Seventh Master's gaze immediately became cold, and he called Xiaoqiang, asked him to come over with his ear, and explained.
