Three days later, Diao Xiaosi put a stack of sketches and a list of refining materials that needed to be purchased in front of the old blind man.

Bu Operator stretched his spiritual sense, read the sketches one by one, and said with a slight surprise on his face: "You want to refine the two ritual talismans?"

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said, "What is the Liangyi Talisman?"

Bu Operator replied: "It is to merge two completely different heaven and earth auras on the same Dao talisman. ”

Diao Xiaosi said: "Sort of." What, is there a problem?"

Bu Operator shook his head and said, "I have to admit that although you are sometimes as stupid as a pig when you see Qian Yan, you can't learn how to do crooked ways. This two-ritual talisman is a bit interesting. ”

Diao Xiaosi expressed deep sympathy: "Apprentice, I understand, you want to see the money open, but it's a pity that no matter how much money is piled up in front of you, you still can't open it." ”

Bu Operator resisted the urge to beat people and asked, "Have you named this new talisman?"

Diao Xiaosi thought for a while and said: "It can be both invisible and can penetrate walls, so it might as well be called 'ghostly'." ”

Bu Operator bowed his head and said, "It's also quite appropriate." But do you know that throughout the ages, there have been many talented people who can refine invisibility talismans and earth escape talismans, why has no one ever combined them into one?"

He said slowly: "Because it only takes a simple ban to make it helpless and ineffective. And an important place like the Imperial City is even more like a copper wall with iron walls and many prohibitions, even the best Dao talismans will not help. Therefore, your elusive ideas are commendable, but they may not be of much use in actual combat. ”

He thought that when he said this, Diao Xiaosi was either discouraged or furious, but this guy just grinned and said: "Do you know how many sons and brothers in Chang'an City have a lot of money to eat and have nothing to do? If they have a piece of this thing in their hands, they can sneak into the boudoir of those ladies and daughters, or...... Well, the water room is not bad either. As long as I think of being able to see the beautiful women with wide clothes and jade bodies without much effort, this talisman is not expensive at all to sell it for 30,000 yuan. ”

He patted the sketch on the table proudly and said, "Whatever someone wants, it is Lao Tzu's chance." As long as there is a chance, am you still afraid that you will not have any money to make? So, I can be a master, you can only be an apprentice......"

Thinking of the gold and silver sea brought by this, Diao Xiaosi's eyes were shining, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, but he was stunned to find that Bu Operator's face was stiff and the sleeves of his robe trembled slightly, as if he had reached the verge of outburst and collapse.

Finally, he knew that the big thing was not good, so he hurriedly grabbed the drawings and found an excuse to slip away, secretly glad that he didn't tell the origin of this golden idea, otherwise the old blind man would run away nine times out of ten.

So in the following days, Diao Xiaosi didn't listen to the things outside the window, and he devoted himself to "being out of the blue". During this period, I only went to the Imperial City once, and I used the Broken Array Diagram to find Princess Jincheng and exchanged it for a large number of refining materials.

Explosions, fires, these accidents have become commonplace, but fortunately, Bu Operator took precautions and blessed the ban early in Diao Xiaosi's house, which did not let the entire dart game be turned upside down.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the opening ceremony of the Chang'an Branch of the General Dart Bureau on the eighth day of March.

When he got up early in the morning, Xia Peiheng was beaming with joy, and commanded the executioner to set off a firecracker at the door first.

Yu Linglong, Geng Shaohua, Yi Bai and others also changed into festive clothes, and carefully deduced the details of the celebration from beginning to end, lest there be a mistake in the pool.

Who knew that until noon, except for the general bureau of the Huitong Dart Bureau and a group of darts from the major bureaus and a few groups of local greetings from Chang'an who came from other places a few days earlier, no one came to the door. The huge hall was empty, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward and cold.

Seeing this, a few congratulatory guests couldn't help but sit on pins and needles, and left in a hurry under the pretext that they had important things at home, leaving congratulatory gifts.

Xia Peiheng's face became more and more embarrassed, although he thought that Guan Luo Dart Bureau would definitely do things behind his back, but he didn't expect that the righteous people and even celebrities and gentry in Chang'an City would be so faceless.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Shaohua, have the guests been notified?"

Geng Shaohua smiled bitterly: "As long as all the famous and famous people have sent invitations, many families still have Mr. Xia Dart Head and Mr. Yu Dart Head personally come to invite them." ”

Xia Peiheng said hatefully: "No need to ask, this is a good thing that Duan Zhentian did!"

How do you know that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the two columns of executioners outside the main gate of Liuyuan suddenly sang loudly: "The head of the Guan Luo Dart Bureau Duan has arrivedβ€”β€”"

Xia Peiheng sighed in a low voice, but Yi Bai spat on the ground fiercely and said, "The weasel greets the chicken!"

Yu Linglong hurriedly said: "The person who comes is a guest, even if he intends to see our liveliness, he must not wait for us." ”

Xia Peiheng nodded, and Yu Linglong and others joined forces to greet him, and saw Duan Zhentian walking in with more than ten leaders of the Guan Luo Dart Bureau with congratulatory gifts on their faces.

After a period of pleasant greetings, everyone sat down in the hall and had tea.

Duan Zhentian looked around, and couldn't see that there were only a handful of outsiders who were invited as he expected, so he couldn't help but sneer in his heart and asked, "Xia Xian's nephew, where is the head of the Diao dart head of your dart bureau, why is he missing?"

Xia Peiheng listened to him relying on the old and selling the old, and he was unhappy for a while, and replied: "Mr. Diao's dart head has been overworking for the dart game recently, and I asked him to go back to the room to rest." ”

Duan Zhentian said with a sincere expression: "The old man heard that Mr. Diao is young and witty and capable, and he has won the favor of Her Royal Highness Princess Jincheng, and he has admired him for a long time, can he reluctantly invite him out to meet him?"

Xia Peiheng knew that Dao Duan Zhentian was so scheming to suppress himself, but he still couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy towards Diao Xiaosi, and ordered with a side face: "Yi Bi, go and see if Mr. Diao's dart head has woken up?"

Yi Bi took the order and left, and the hall fell silent again. Duan Zhentian sipped the fragrant tea slowly and methodically, showing a posture of watching the fire from the other side.

Xia Peiheng was secretly annoyed but helpless, and after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see Yi Bi come back, so he had to ask Geng Shaohua to invite him again.

However, Long Zhenwu came to Liuyuan with his son with a congratulatory gift, and pulled Xia Peiheng and Mrs. Geng to talk for a while, it was nothing more than the last time, and he had to do it as a last resort, so please ask Mr. Xia to dart a lot of Haihan Yunyun.

Long Zhaoyuan took the opportunity to approach Wan'er, and before he could speak, he heard someone sneer: "That's Lao Tzu's position." ”

Long Zhaoyuan didn't need to look up, he knew that Diao Xiaosi had arrived, and suddenly the enemy was extremely red when he saw him, and threw all the warnings of Long Zhenwu before he came, and got up angrily and said, "What do you want?"

Diao Xiaosi grinned and grabbed the chair behind Long Zhaoyuan, sat down, and said, "Accept!"

Long Zhaoyuan's face was pale, and he was about to fight for his seat, Duan Zhentian had already walked over with a loud smile, and greeted Diao Xiaosi with a fist: "Brother Diao, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I am lucky to see Sansheng today!"

Diao Xiaosi sat still and looked at Duan Zhentiandao: "Who are you?"

This sentence hurt more than anything else, the smile on Duan Zhentian's face suddenly stiffened, and then he smiled and said: "Old man Duan Zhentian, the head of the Guan Luo Dart Bureau." ”

Diao Xiaosi said "oh" and said: "Lao Duan, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that someone will snatch the seat under Lao Tzu's ass together, so I can only sit and say hello to you." ”

Duan Zhentian suppressed his anger and deliberately glanced around the hall and said, "It's not early, you can start the celebration ceremony, right?"

Diao Xiaosi said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I still have a few friends who are about to arrive." ”

Duan Zhentian smiled and said, "The friend that Brother Diao is talking about, could it be that he refers to the red boss of Wenxiang Mansion or the head of Huazi Huang Shujun?"

Before the words fell, I heard someone outside laughing loudly: "Brother Diao, I'm sorry, I pulled a few more friends here temporarily, and I didn't teach everyone to wait when it was late, right?"

With the words, Fang Mingzu, the leader of the Chang'an Gang, led the helmsmen under his command, the bosses of the major casinos, restaurants, and rice shops, as well as a large group of dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City, and drove into the Willow Garden.

Diao Xiaosi chuckled and said, "Old Fang, count yourself as interesting." If you come any longer, I'll set fire to your kennel!"

Long Zhaoyuan finally waited for the opportunity, saying that it was too late, and he would rush forward to occupy the seat.

Before he could speak, Wan'er had already greeted Lu with a cheer, and said with a smile: "Sister Hong, Brother Li, you are here too!"

Long Zhaoyuan was stunned, looking at Wan'er and Hongfu and Li Jing, who had just walked in the door, talking and laughing, their faces were white and red.

In contrast, Duan Zhentian was still calm, these two groups of guests were within his expectations, in the end, a green building and an underworld, and the face of the dart bureau was not necessarily very bright.

Just as he was maintaining a good feeling, he heard the executioner outside the door shout loudly: "The right general of the forbidden army has arrivedβ€”β€”"

I saw Qu Tutong walking into the hall with a horizontal plaque wrapped in red cloth in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Diao, Brother Fool has just come out of the palace, this is a congratulatory gift that Her Royal Highness the Princess entrusted me to transfer to the Huitong Dart Bureau." ”

After that, he carefully uncovered the red cloth covering the horizontal plaque in front of everyone, and saw that the plaque was written in cursive with the words "protect the country and defend the people" written on the plaque with silver hooks and iron.

Xia Peiheng shouted loudly: "This, this is the Holy Imperial Pen!"

Qu Tutong bowed his head and said: "Yes, this is the royal pen letter that Her Royal Highness the princess asked Her Majesty for!"

For a while, the exclamations in the hall came and went, and everyone was honored. Only Duan Zhentian's old face became difficult to look at, you must know that he didn't know how much thought and how much money he spent back then, so he asked for a handwritten inscription of Xu Guo Gongyu, but people asked Princess Jincheng to take the initiative to send an inscription of the emperor without paying a penny, and forcibly covered the Guan Luo Dart Bureau.

I heard Hongfu smile lightly: "General Qu made an extraordinary move, so I was embarrassed to send the congratulatory gifts I prepared." Fortunately, I also have a gift from Princess Nanyang here, please ask Mr. Xia to smile. ”

As she spoke, she took out two scrolls from her cuffs and opened them with a "swish", which was a couplet written by Princess Nanyang herself.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, the executioner outside shouted at the top of his throat: "Li Jiancheng, the prince of Tang Guo, and the county horse Chai Shao have arrivedβ€”β€”"

This time Duan Zhentian was completely blinded, looking at Li Jiancheng and Chai Shao who walked into the hall side by side, he had all kinds of flavors in his heart.

Someone behind Leng Buding patted him and said, "Borrow light, help me get a piece of butter cake, and add a handful of peanuts." ”

Duan Zhentian was furious, and said in his heart: "People are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, which bastard who doesn't have long eyes actually treats the old man as a servant who serves tea and water?"

He turned around and wanted to scold, but the words came to his lips and swallowed them alive. I saw a dark, fat and unkempt middle-aged Taoist priest standing behind him with a smile, not a world-famous righteous path master, but who was Ye Fashan, one of the five truths of the South of the South?

In an instant, Duan Zhentian's facial features were distorted and his three views collapsed, staring at Diao Xiaosi, who had a serious expression, and felt the terrible pressure from the other party for the first time.

After dominating Guan Luo for decades, he finally encountered a truly formidable opponent.

I didn't want to think about it, and the head of Diao, who had been regarded as his great enemy in life, at the door of the listening hall, faced the two rows of jade screens jointly presented by Li Jiancheng and Chai Shao with the private seal of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, and screamed: "Why do you give things that are only useful for the sake ......of Lu, and Lao Tzu can't sell them yet?"
