Li Xuandu followed the young woman all the way to the courtyard, turned a few corners, the pines and cypresses on both sides of the road were evergreen, and the old trunks were slanted, still adding a bit of verdant greenery in this early winter season. Walk through this wood, walk on a bluestone road, come to the courtyard of the white wall of Zhumen, go close, see the plaque hanging on the gate on the book "white lotus" two big characters, the two sides of the gate are not stone lions, but two turtles and cranes to prolong the stone palace lamp.

After entering the door, there is a large patio, and a stone pond has been opened on the left and right of the patio, in which lotus flowers are planted, but because of the cold weather, all of them have withered away, and only a dead leaf remains. After the patio, there is the living room, the young woman invited Li Xuandu to sit, and then a maid served hot tea, and the young woman said: "Invite the guest to use tea, and I will go to tell the shopkeeper." ”

Li Xuandu nodded and took the tea bowl casually, but he didn't expect that this small tea bowl still had a mystery, it was actually a thin porcelain, as thin as an eggshell, faintly transmitting light. He raised the teacup and looked at it carefully, and wrote on the wall of the teacup the five words "can clear the heart", and the wonderful thing is that no matter which word you start reading from these five words, you can form a sentence, namely: "you can clear your heart", "you can also clear your heart", "you can also clear your heart", "you can also clear your heart", "you can also clear your heart", "you can also clear your heart".

Seeing the big from the small, if it is a family that is suddenly rich and noble, there is no such exquisite thought, which can be seen the heritage of the White Lotus Fang.

After a while, a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes came over, waved her hand to signal the maid standing down, and asked directly: "Is the local shopkeeper below, I wonder if this guest officer wants to pawn, or something else?"

Li Xuandu put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "It's mainly a pawn, but if your store has other good things, you might as well take a look." ”

"Invite the guest officer to come with the concubine. The middle-aged woman smiled slightly, turned around and led the way.

In the White Lotus Fang, not only the guests are superior and inferior, but also a group of stewards are also superior and inferior, namely: general steward, chief steward, shopkeeper, big shopkeeper, the White Lotus Fang in a state has a big shopkeeper and two shopkeepers, at this time the middle-aged woman is one of the two shopkeepers, and the previous woman is a big housekeeper.

When I arrived at the back hall, there was a hole in the sky, the ground was covered with a lichen woven of Shu brocade, and it was silent to step on it, and in the middle position was a large bookcase, with a red sandalwood chair on both sides of the bookcase, and the middle-aged woman reached out and asked Li Xuandu to sit on one of the chairs, and then she slowly sat down opposite Li Xuandu.

In the middle of the bookcase there is a brass incense burner, which is dyed with a stick of incense and curls with light smoke.

The woman explained: "This is a 'cloud of smoke', which can hide the body and voice, and the guest officer does not have to worry about someone peeping in the dark. ”

Li Xuan is an old Jianghu, and he has already seen a lot of these strange gadgets, and he doesn't care, he just smiled lightly: "Since you have come to the White Lotus Fang, you can trust the White Lotus Fang." ”

The woman smiled slightly: "Then please ask the guest officer to take out the things to be pawned." ”

Li Xuandu directly took out a stack of thick cheats from the "eighteenth floor".

The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, and did not deliberately hide her surprised look, and asked softly, "This is?"

Li Xuandu said concisely: "Cheats, the shopkeeper is at your own convenience." ”

The middle-aged woman immediately reached out and took a book, roughly flipped through a few pages, and then took a few more copies, still flipped through a few pages like this, and after about half a burnt incense, she roughly flipped through all the cheats, put down the cheats in her hand, and muttered: "Since the guest officer is a guest of the Jiazi, his reputation is naturally guaranteed, I don't know where the guest officer's cheats come from?"

Li Xuandu's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Don't ask the source, this is the rule of the White Lotus Workshop, could it be that the White Lotus Workshop has changed the rules now?"

The middle-aged woman was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's the concubine who has broken the rules, and I hope the guest officer will forgive me." ”

Li Xuandu didn't hesitate, but said, "If the inspection is correct, please make a price." ”

The middle-aged woman pondered her words for a moment, and said: "These cheats are mostly the methods of success, and the disciples of the major sects are not eye-catching, but those who have no way will be interested, especially the "Jade Ding Palm" and "Golden Fist", which are the methods of Zhongcheng, if you meet someone who practices fist, you should be able to sell it at a high price." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman glanced at Li Xuandu, and when she saw that his face was expressionless, she continued: "This is a total of nine secret books, seven methods of success, and two methods of success, the method of succession is calculated according to one hundred Taiping money, and the method of Zhongcheng is calculated according to five hundred Taiping money, a total of 1,700 Taiping money. Our White Lotus Fang is different from the ordinary pawnshop, and never does anything to lower the price, how much it should be, is how much it is, so although the guest officer can rest assured, other places will not be higher than this price. I might as well get to the bottom of it with the guest officer, the general market price is at most 1,500 Taiping yuan, but our White Lotus Fang has a wider network, and these things are easier to sell, so the price given can be higher. ”

Li Xuandu said calmly: "These cheats are not pills that are one less if you buy one, your store can rub a batch and keep the original in your hands, so that it is a chicken that can lay eggs, and the water will flow for a long time." ”

The woman didn't talk nonsense, and stretched out two fingers: "Since the guest officer said so, then add another three hundred Taiping dollars, a total of two thousand Taiping dollars." ”

Li Xuandu's face finally showed a little smile, and said, "The shopkeeper is really a cheerful person." ”

The woman smiled and said: "For a distinguished guest like a guest officer, we in Bailianfang never mind suffering a small loss, and besides, the concubine broke the rules just now, and it can be regarded as a slight compensation." ”

Li Xuandu sighed with emotion: "Three hundred Taiping money is nine thousand taels of silver, and your store is really a big deal." ”

The woman laughed and asked, "I wonder if the guest officer wants a peace ticket or a peace money?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I don't know if there are any good things in your store recently?"

The woman said: "It's a coincidence, there is really one thing, it is a 'Taiyin Hidden Talisman', I don't know if the guest officer has any intentions?"

Li Xuandu was slightly surprised: "This is a rare thing. ”

The woman nodded and said: "Exactly, the effect of this talisman is to conceal the body breath, whether it is used to save life or sneak in, it is an excellent must-have, but the disadvantage is that this talisman is too complicated to draw, and it is necessary to cultivate the heavenly and human realm, and the materials required to draw the talisman are also quite rare, so the output is very small, and it is very rare in the market." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "I don't know the price?"

The woman's tone was calm and said: "This 'Taiyin Hidden Talisman' obtained by this workshop is a legacy of a former dynasty master, because of the age, so the aura has escaped, so there will be some discounts on the price, if the guest officer intends to buy, the price of this workshop is five hundred Taiping money." ”

Li Xuandu sighed: "Your store is real, it's almost this price." ”

The woman smiled slightly: "Doing business is not an overnight thing, as the guest official said, the water flows for a long time." As the so-called small rich rely on diligence and big wealth rely on virtue, so on top of this kind of business, this shop has always told the truth and did not hide it at all. ”

Five hundred Taiping money is really not a small amount, especially after Li Xuandu lost his master's money, even more so. And selling cheats is not so easy to sell, Bailianfang is not a fool, after collecting these cheats, he will not buy again, so selling one is one less copy, and there are some methods such as "pure yang purple qi", Li Xuan does not dare to buy and sell at will, otherwise it is easy to provoke the head of Zhengyizong if he is not careful, and the nine cheats sold this time have been carefully selected, and there will be no such trading in the future.

However, after Li Xuandu silently calculated in his heart, he still decided to buy this "Taiyin Hidden Talisman", after all, this talisman is one of the most practical among all kinds of talismans, and it is priceless, if you miss it this time, you don't know when you want to meet it next time.

Li Xuandu said: "I bought this 'Taiyin Hidden Talisman', and the required Taiping money will be deducted from the two thousand Taiping money, and the remaining 1,500 Taiping money, please help me exchange it for a Taiping ticket." ”

The woman who had made a big deal smiled with joy and said, "Wait a minute, guest officer. ”

She turned around and walked out of the inner hall, and after a short time, she went and returned, with three more peace tickets and a red sandalwood box in her hand.

Li Xuandu took the Taiping tickets, all of which were 500 denominations, and 500 Taiping coins could be obtained in the Taiping Money Village with the tickets. He first put the three Taiping tickets into the "eighteenth floor", and then opened the rosewood box, and there was a dark talisman lying quietly inside.
