Chapter 227: Buying Talisman Paper
"Where is it, thanks to Shen Gongzi for breaking the siege today, I am already very grateful. The shopkeeper hurriedly saluted.
The two of them spoke and re-entered the shop.
"Shopkeeper Ma, I came here today to buy some more rune paper and spiritual materials. After Shen Luo sat down, he expressed his intention.
At this time, Ma Xiuxiu served him a cup of good tea, and retreated into the inner hall with a slight red cheek, only daring to glance at Shen Luo with a low glance from the corner of his eye.
Shen Luo didn't pay attention to the subtle movements of the little daughter's house, and his eyes kept scanning the label on Baibaoge.
"What kind of rune paper and spiritual materials are Shen Gongzi going to buy today?" asked the shopkeeper Ma.
"The spirit material is the same as last time, the words of the rune paper...... I want to buy some green frost paper. Shen Luo retracted his gaze and said.
"Speaking of which, Shen Gongzi is kind to us, and the spiritual materials such as floating shadow jade and golden scallops are all right to give to Shen Gongzi without charging a penny, but this green frost paper ...... You need to buy it with fairy jade, but it's not something we can give privately. When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was embarrassed and he said.
"If the shopkeeper says anything, whether it is spiritual materials or rune paper, it can be calculated according to the original price. With that, Shen Luo got up and took out a gold ingot and the immortal jade and placed them on the counter.
The shopkeeper didn't see anything when he saw the gold ingot, but when he caught a glimpse of the fairy jade, his eyes glowed.
"What did the shopkeeper say last time, one immortal jade can buy ten pieces of Qingfrost rune paper, right?" Shen Luo asked.
"Ten tickets? That's the price for someone else. Since Shen Gongzi can get the immortal jade, we can sell twelve pieces to you. The shopkeeper immediately said.
"Then thank you to the shopkeeper. When Shen Luo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Put away this gold ingot, Shen Gongzi. Floating jade and other things are all added to the rune paper, and we will give it to you. The shopkeeper waved his hand and said proudly.
After that, he didn't wait for Shen Luo to speak, he turned around and went to the Baibao Grid, took out the rune paper and spiritual materials, and sent them to Shen Luo's hand.
Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out the gold leaf engraved with runes from his sleeve and put it on the counter.
"The shopkeeper is well-informed, can you help me palm my eyes and see what this thing is?" Shen Luo said.
"No problem, we'll see. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
As he spoke, he had already reached out his hand, but just as he was about to pick up the gold leaf, his movements suddenly froze.
"This is ......" a look of disbelief flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes and he hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Shen Luo asked.
The shopkeeper had a solemn look on his face, turned around and went to the inner hall, and after washing his hands, he held a piece of clean cloth and carefully picked up the piece of gold leaf.
He moved his eyes closer and carefully examined the runes on the gold leaf from top to bottom, then turned over and carefully examined the back of the gold leaf, his face becoming a little excited.
"That's right, this texture, this texture, yes, it must be ......" The shopkeeper's hand trembled slightly, and he muttered.
"Shopkeeper Ma, can you tell me what this thing is?" Shen Luo looked confused on the side, but he also knew that this gold leaf was probably not a vulgar thing.
"Shen Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I suddenly saw this soul suppression Jin Wat, I was too excited for a while, and I lost my temper. The shopkeeper came back to his senses a little and said.
"Soul Suppression Jin Wat?" Shen Luo said in surprise.
"Wat board is a thing, originally a Taoist cultivator, when performing Luo Tian Dajiao or the dojo rituals, used to carry out Taoist rituals, it is often recorded that some prayers and sacrifices are heard, and the above table is listened to. Because of the different functions, there are also different types. This kind of soul-calming golden wat is very special, it is cast with special gold essence, and the runes are engraved by the master himself, which is specially used to suppress the evil spirits. The shopkeeper explained.
When Shen Luo heard this, he remembered that when he found this golden wat, it was hanging on the body bag, and now it seems that it was probably to suppress the corpse soul.
"It turns out that this thing still has such a origin, but I don't know if your store accepts this thing?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully and asked.
"Shen Gongzi, do you want to sell this thing?" the shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"To sell or not to sell...... Does this depend on how much it is worth?" Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.
"It's not a secret, Lu Baotang has also received a lot of things over the years, but this is the first time I've seen this soul Jin Wat. Shen Gongzi is kind to us, and he can't fool you with nonsense, your golden wat is in excellent condition, and the runes engraved on it don't seem to be ordinary, and they are not the same as the ordinary soul-suppressing runes. It's just that I can't see what it is. The shopkeeper said solemnly.
"The shopkeeper's blunt words, how much are you willing to pay for this golden wat?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper picked up the golden wat and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, the expression on his face became more and more entangled.
"Shen Gongzi, I can't be sure of the value of this Jin Wat for the time being. Let's mortgage it here with thirty immortal jades, and then send a letter to the real boss of this Lu Bao Tang and ask him to determine the value. If it is less, I will persuade the boss to make up for it later, and if it is too much, it will be considered to repay the kindness of the son. The shopkeeper pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Thirty Immortal Jade?" Shen Luo almost couldn't believe his ears when he heard this.
He can only receive one immortal jade every three months in the Bai family, or is it a treatment that other low-ranking guests don't have at all, and this piece of gold leaf that he picked up empty-handed can be exchanged for thirty immortal jade?
"According to what the shopkeeper said, it's changed!" Shen Luo didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately said.
For him, this soul suppression golden wat is of no use at least at the moment, and he has already remembered the runes on it, and it is indeed the best choice to replace it with a real immortal jade now.
"Shen Gongzi is really refreshing!" the shopkeeper also stroked his palm and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Ma, this deal has been decided, can I ask one more question, why is there anything else special about this golden wat and why is it so valuable?" Shen Luo wondered.
"Shen Gongzi, I won't tell you, we are willing to bet on this, it is indeed because we see something different. The shopkeeper hesitated slightly, but still said.
"I want to hear about it. Shen Luo said.
"The effect of the Soul Suppression Jin Wat is actually similar to that of the Soul Suppression Talisman, except that it contains stronger spiritual power and lasts longer, but after all, it is a consumable thing, and it is not easy to use it for more than ten years. And this piece of gold wat of yours, at first glance, is some years old, and the runes on it are still vibrant, and it is impossible to see that it has been infected by evil spirits. Therefore, let's guess that if it is not of excellent material, it must be that the person who engraved this talisman has a very high cultivation, and its own meaning is extraordinary. The shopkeeper explained.
When Shen Luo heard this, he immediately understood.
